Chapter 85: A Gamble with the Young Man
Legend has it that Zeus, the god of lightning and balance, ordered his gods to create a perfect woman in all respects, Pandora, in order to counteract the great benefits that Prometheus had brought to mankind. Pan, is all, Dora, is a gift, and Pandora is a woman with all talents. And she was born at the same time as the world, and that mouthful...... Pandora's box.
Disaster, Fear, Pestilence......
The moment the box was opened, all the negative forces flew out.
Despair, endless despair......
Part of the evil power that was originally hidden in the blood of human beings also awakened at this time, the original sin in the mouth of the Ji X Sect, the blood of original sin that has existed in the body of human beings since the day of their birth.
Arrogance, jealousy, burnout, greed, gluttony, lust, rage.
Yes, the Seven Original Sins!
The moment Chen Chuliang's palms intersected, he felt that the mountains were shaking for a while, and the whole world seemed to shake around this altar, and the strange ring on his hand also burst out at this time, enveloping him in it. Originally in the center of the altar, he inevitably had to deal with the terrifying fluctuations brought about by the completion of the ritual and the strange fluctuations that came from the depths of the blood, and the anomaly of the ring on his finger was changed at this time, which was even worse!
"Ahhhh
Under the altar, all the gray-robed people in the sea of blood also burst out at the first time, and in an instant, several people exploded and died, like blood-colored lotus flowers, blooming in an instant. Exploding and dying because he couldn't bear the strength is actually a very normal thing, you know, this experiment that Yuan Lao is going to conduct. It's essentially an impossible thing to do.
Through myths and legends, forbidden methods are used to usurp the power of gods and demons.
This is inherently a ridiculous thing.
But on the contrary, Chen Chuliang still completed it, he successfully completed the ceremony, and used this blood sacrifice to replace Cain's step of killing his brother, and the next step was divine punishment...... Then, those gray-robed men in the sea of blood may be cursed by the gods and become the new ancestors of the blood after Cain.
"It looks like I won. "Although there are constantly gray-robed people who explode and die. But Yuan Lao didn't panic at all, but looked like he was winning: "The deviation of the plan is 0.023, Zorro, you should know that I never fight a battle that I am not sure of, you lose." ”
"Ha, I'm bragging again~" Zorro rolled his eyes: "Don't think that you were really a data emperor after a period of time with a librarian! Let's tell you, thousands of years ago, there was such a stupid hat similar to you." Forehead...... Hahaha, I almost missed my mouth. What do you say about not fighting a battle that you are not sure of, when the gate of the heavenly realm came, you were the only one of so many generals who went directly to the field~ Don't tell us anything about the deviation value of that battle. ”
"It's really ......," Yuan Lao took out a somewhat gray handkerchief from the pocket of his jacket. Covering the corners of his mouth, he coughed lightly: "I like to expose my brother, but you haven't changed at all." When the gods came, morale was low, and the morale of the army was in turmoil. We are for the motherland. Sacrifice your life to die. If you hadn't appeared in time, my body would have fallen in the Grand Canyon, wouldn't I?"
"cough cough cough~" The old man silently put the handkerchief into his pocket and laughed softly: "Forget it." I've been in debt to you so many times to save your life, haven't I? ”
"Hey, although there are personal factors involved, but let me find a way to pull you out of the death line, but there is someone else. Yuan Datou, to this day, you can also tell us where the so-called Blood Clan Secret Book came from. Zorro raised his head and looked at Yuan Lao, who was getting older and older: "We don't believe that you, a dead old man with such bad luck, could so happen to pick up such a mysterious thing after the end of the war." What's more, as one of the commanders of the coalition forces, you have always been at the heart of the heart. ”
"......" Yuan Lao shook his head: "It's pointless to talk about this now, right?" Zoro, if I can't survive this level, those children will bother you." ”
"Child, you 10,000-year-old bachelor actually have children?" Zorro's eyes couldn't help but widen, but he quickly returned to normal: "Also, you are different from a poor teacher, you are powerful and muscular, and it is not strange that there are several women over the years, then again, why don't you jump down?"
Zorro pointed to the sea of blood below: "Don't worry if you have more debts, don't itch if you have more lice, anyway, you've already used the forbidden method once, so just try it again." Although the odds are a bit low, it's not a way to save your life. Don't look at us like this, we are good citizens, and we will never have anything to do with the person who invented this forbidden law. Aha, ahaha~"
"Your origins are mysterious, Zorro. Yuan Lao shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity that the children I said are not my flesh and blood, but just ......."
Speaking of this, a smile appeared on Yuan Lao's face that couldn't be hidden: "They are all some very good children, although they all have some minor problems, but overall, they are still very good." Zorro, you haven't drunk the wine I made myself, have you? Hahaha, this time we must not get drunk, not get drunk...... Poof!"
"Yuan Datou!"
"Time...... Not much. Yuan Lao collapsed to the ground weakly, raised his head tremblingly, and looked at Chen Chuliang and Fang Shou on the altar: "In the last time, at least let me, at least let me see, see the answer......"
"No, Yuan Datou, the injury on your body is definitely not so simple!" Zorro jumped on Yuan Lao's body, put his little paw on Yuan Lao's body, closed his eyes and felt it for a while: "Necrotic, the whole body is necrotic." Big head, how did your soul fragment be damaged? No, it should be said, why is your soul fragment damaged, and you can still be in this world unharmed. ”
"A gamble more than ten years ago ......"
More than ten years ago, it was the final battle of the 1999 war record.
The day before Ragnarok.
Yuan Lao was invited by someone to go to a small town outside the garrison point alone to meet with that person alone.
At that time, Yuan Lao still looked like he was in the prime of his thirties and forties, his whole body was full of explosive muscles, and compared to the slightly emaciated old man now, he was basically the existence of two planes. He carried a large glaive knife that was half a head taller than him, and walked towards the black shadow overlooking the mountain step by step, with heavy footprints.
"You're here?" the shadow was a young man in his mid-twenties. With his hands behind his back, he leaned back against a towering tree, overlooking the dense crowd of ants moving down the mountain. ”
It seems that this guy is not a good person.
However, Yuan Lao in the prime of life looked respectful, he untied the glaive knife behind his back, gently leaned against the big tree that the man was leaning on, and asked respectfully: "Why did you ask me to come here?"
"It's nothing. The shadow smiled, "It's just that I'm going up there." Before leaving, I came to say goodbye to you and tell you what to do...... Phew, such an obvious death flag. ”
"Your Excellency?" Yuan Lao was a little panicked: "The war is about to start, if you don't have your strength, the strength of the coalition will be ......."
"Believe it. Believe in the power of the younger generation. Big head, what are you and your subordinates sacrificing so much for? Not for this beautiful world? Yes, my plan has succeeded, and you can take some of the burden off your shoulders. The young man gently patted Yuan Lao's shoulder: "Sa, sit down and rest." ”
"Your Excellency. I ......"
"Stop talking nonsense, sit down. ”
In the end, Yuan Lao still couldn't refuse the young man's kindness, and sat down. It was so good to be so good before this great war, it was simply ......
"Well, no one will come up but you. The young man gave a thumbs up and reassured, "You can put a hundred and twenty hearts." If you're lazy here, no one will find out. Wait, don't go. I'm joking because I have a very important thing to discuss with you, not to be lazy!"
"My lord, war is imminent. Yuan Lao's face was serious, he put his hand on the blade of the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, and asked seriously: "Let's go down first, the lion fights the rabbit, especially do your best." What's more, we are not 100% sure that we will be able to drive those enemies out of this world. I'd better go down first. ”
"Ann, Ann. The young man put his hand on Yuan Lao's shoulder and signaled him not to get excited: "Originally, there is another biggest unstable factor." However, Zorro and I will solve it, and you, now you just need to listen to me honestly. ”
"Your Excellency?"
"I said, Yuan Datou......" An evil smile appeared on the man's face: "As one of the few people at the highest level of the Celestial Empire, you shouldn't trust those hypocrites 100%, especially those idiots headed by the Pope?"
Yuan Lao closed his eyes and shook his head slightly: "The situation is urgent, in front of the enemy, we naturally have to ......"
". The man hugged his shoulders and glanced at the sunset with disdain: "After the battle of the Tianshan Mountains, how could you not feel the wolf ambition of those people? Yuan Datou, Yuan Datou, in my impression, you are not the kind of character who is wronged." ”
Yuan Lao closed his eyes and seemed to be a little shaken: "I know, but, but I ......"
"Hey. The man interrupted Yuan Lao's words again: "I know what you are worried about, the foreign enemy is still engaged in internal fighting, so one time in the era of death is enough, right? However, after today, this catastrophe of the last days can end, and can the military, which has already suffered huge losses, continue to stand at the forefront and block the Western parliaments from abroad? This is really a question. ”
"Sacrifice life and forget death, for the country and the people. Yuan Lao put his hand on his chest: "As long as the covenant of the Tianshan Mountain is still there, we will not let these people step on the Tianshan Mountain." ”
"It's still the same. The man shook his head: "Those old guys are gone, right? After seeing so many lives and deaths, you still choose to step into the transcendent realm, there are not many except you, right? I thought that those old bastards who were most greedy for life and afraid of death would be the first to enter this realm, but I didn't expect that in the end, it would be you, the second stunned person who hung his head on the waistband of his trousers! Hey~ Ridiculous, ridiculous. ”
“......”
"But. None of that I'm going to talk about right now. The man took out a slightly tattered ancient book from his arms and handed it to Yuan Lao.
"What is this?" Although Yuan Lao was a little unsure, he still took the ancient book handed over by the man.
"Found from Cain's body. If I'm not mistaken, this should be recorded in a series of secrets of the origin of the blood clan~ By the way, please don't open it casually...... Why can't you understand people's words? I'll make it!" The man pulled back Yuan Lao, who was almost swallowed by the blood mist, and then casually covered the ancient book here: "Well." If you don't have a certain amount of preparation, if you open this thing, you will almost be devoured like it is now. After all, it's the Force of the Blood Clan, and the curse of the power of original sin, if you can't suppress this thing, you'll be devoured and die!"
"Such a dangerous thing!" Yuan Lao wiped the cold sweat on his head, and felt a little palpitating: "Why didn't you say it earlier." Please don't make such boring jokes at such a time!"
"It's not a joke!" The man rolled his eyes and sighed very helplessly: "How can I say that I am a person who has been the supreme commander of the Eastern Theater of Operations, how could I make a joke about the commander before the big war?" Okay~ I'll be honest, I just wanted you to relax, but I didn't expect to almost put you at the bottom. Sorry!"
Looking at this hippie smiling face, the man who has no apology and sincerity. Yuan Lao could only sigh helplessly, this guy is still so out of tune.
"Big head. The young man straightened his face after an instant, and looked at Yuan Lao seriously: "I'll tell you the truth, I'm going to go up there soon, although this thing is dangerous, but if there is a correct way to use it, it is also a means." If, I mean if. If you have the will to protect this great river and mountain even if you are cursed by this world, then ...... Pick him up. ”
Seeing this young man with a serious face, Yuan Lao knew. It's not a joke. It's been almost a century since I've known him.
When we first met, he was a guard next to a librarian, and he was a young ghost. The man was a poor teacher from some poor country.
Over the years, he has become the captain of the Heroic Special Forces. His body was already covered with the smoke of gunpowder left by the war. And he is still a dead face and unlucky person who eats everywhere.
Although he has always been improper, but. In the decision of the Battle of the Tianshan Mountains, it was this good old man who had always been kind and wealthy suddenly broke out, suppressed several compromisers who advocated retreating to the base camp, and then took the Eastern Ranger and the special forces led by him to fight against the Tianshan Mountains, and finally established the Tianshan Contract that kept the East and West in balance.
A familiar scene, if he hadn't seriously refuted the opposition's manifesto, and hadn't smoked some unlucky guy into the sky...... The current situation will never be so optimistic.
"Of course!" Without the slightest hesitation, Yuan Lao lowered his body.
"But, it's not necessary, right? People die like lights out, even if they turn into heroic spirits, even if they enter reincarnation, if they have anything to do with this thing, they will be cursed by the world. The man's eyes narrowed into a slit, like a demon tempting people to hell: "Your destiny is to fall to the bottom, to feel the endless despair and emptiness." You have your responsibilities, but there's no need for such a big sacrifice, right?"
Yuan Lao's body only paused slightly, and then he did not hesitate to reach out to the ancient book that fell to the ground.
"The sacrifice of my generation, the honor of my generation......" Yuan Lao is different from this man who has no positive shape, he is more like a pure soldier, he has experienced half a century of war, he understands the importance of sacrifice and dedication, there are too many, he should be buried in it more than those comrades who fell on the battlefield......
"No if!" The moment Yuan Lao's hand touched the ancient book, the blood mist that seemed to have a bone-eroding function reappeared, but this time he did not retreat, nor did he subconsciously shake it off, but with an iron face, he pressed the discomfort tightly.
"Tough guy. The man sighed with emotion: "No matter which world it is, there will be tough guys like you born in the most dangerous times." It's a pity...... The end result is either falling like a star, or being corrupted by original sin like the Sword Master. Yuan Datou, the opportunity is rare, why don't we make a bet. ”
"Huh......" Yuan Lao didn't pay attention to the young man's spare strength, just suppressing the pain from the palm of his hand had already made him face collapse, and the power of original sin in the man's mouth seemed to be beginning to exert power, and there was always a strange emotion surging in his heart, which seemed to be pouring out at any time.
"Hahaha, if one day you use the power of this tome......"
"If you're not corrupted by power......"
"If you can see the true meaning of the power in it......"
When Yuan Lao woke up, the young man had disappeared, in addition to the ancient book in his hand, there was still a trace of pain, and the chat with the young man was as incredible as a lifetime, was it just a dream? If it was a dream, why was it so painful.
The blood-colored light bloomed in Yuan Lao's eyes. (To be continued......)
