Chapter 123: Flame of Truth

As more and more fire oil erupted from the tunnel, the flames gradually moved closer to the middle from all around, and the higher and higher temperature made Shen Chaixing's face hot, and the smoke that drifted directly choked everyone's mouths and noses. The abducted women did not cry, but some of them looked at the approaching flames and giggled, and one of them knelt on the ground, begging for God. Seeing her like that, two more people immediately followed her example and knelt down to pray.

Shen Chaixing kept checking the fire and the surrounding terrain, it turned out that everyone was trapped in a circular fire array, and after Elder Lu turned on the switch, the tunnel that was originally buried underground opened, and he continued to spray fire oil into it. But with the current width, no one can jump out of the fire.

Looking at the sea of fire that was slowly approaching, Shen Chaixing said to Linglong'er with an apologetic face: "I'm really sorry that you accompanied me to die??????! I didn't expect that just being called 'Shenlong' was about to become 'Jiaolong'??????"

Linglong's face was cloudy, sometimes sad and sometimes sweet, and she couldn't help but be happy when she heard that Shen Chaixing was still idle at the moment, and plucked up the courage to say to Shen Chaixing: "I?????? Actually, there's one thing I've always wanted to tell you, I'm ??????."

"Shenlong?" Shen Chaixing suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly interrupted Linglong's words: "Quickly untie the 'Silver Wing Flying Claw' and give it to me!"

Looking at the flames that were getting closer and closer, Shen Chaixing said while installing the flying claws: "I have thought of a way, fight, you wait for me." If I can't get out either, I don't have to say anything. If I go out and fail to reach you. I'll come back and die with you, wait for me to ??????" I don't know if it's smoked, tears flowed from Linglong'er's eyes, "Well, wait for you." ”

Shen Chasing Xingqi walked the twelve-story building, and when the nine true qi ran to the limit, he lifted his body and pulled it up obliquely, looked around, and there was no place where he could use his flying claws to grasp it, seeing Shen Chasing Xing slowly falling towards the sea of fire, and he was left close to the ground, and suddenly Shen Chasing Xing saw that there was a person not far from the fire pit who was looking inside, and it was obvious that this person wanted to watch the tragic situation of everyone wailing in pain before they died.

This person has changed from the usual charitable appearance of a righteous gentleman, and his face is full of cruelty and violence, and it is none other than Elder Lu Youdelu, the elder of the beggar gang.

Shen Chaixing endured the stinging pain of the burning leg, exerted the only bit of true qi left in his body, and his body moved three zhang out of thin air, at this time he was still ten zhang away from Elder Lu, Shen Chaixing pressed the mechanism on the "Silver Wing Flying Claw".

"Smack"! The flying claws popped forward and headed straight for Elder Lu.

It may be that the sound of "crackling" fire interfered with Elder Lu's hearing, or the bright or dark light of the fire interfered with his vision, or Elder Lu at this moment was completely immersed in the pleasure of watching other people's tragic deaths and couldn't extricate himself, or it was simply that he was full of evil, there should be this report, Elder Lu didn't see the flying claws shot by Shen Chasing Star at all!

The Silver Wing Flying Claw passed through his chest, Elder Lu felt a chill in his chest, instinctively straightened up with force, and pulled a flying claw, Shen Chaixing borrowed his strength to exert his strength, and his body flew ten feet sideways, out of the sea of fire!

Looking at Shen Chaixing who fell in front of him, Elder Lu showed an unbelievable look, and then looked at the big hole in his chest, and fell down. Before his body hit the ground, he was grabbed by Shen Chaixing, Shen Chaixing shook Elder Lu's body and said, "Tell me quickly, how the mechanism is closed!"

After hearing Shen Chaixing's question, Elder Lu, who was originally depressed, showed a cruel and smug smile on his face, and squeezed out a few words from his mouth that kept bleeding: "Only I know, but I won't tell you?????? I want them to be buried with me!"

Shen Chaixing put his body aside, pulled out the Longyuan Sword behind him, and yelled at the beggar gang disciples around him: "Now shut down the mechanism for me, otherwise you will all die!"

When the beggar gang disciples saw Shen Chasing Xing's possession of the gods, their faces were full of fierce light, and they were not interested, and they fled in all directions.

As soon as Shen Chaixing saw this, he raised his head to the sky and roared, and the whole person turned into a phantom and kept swinging his sword to kill people, and the beggars helped the disciples cry wolf, and some saw that they couldn't escape, so they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, saying that they really didn't know where the organ was, as soon as the words fell, Shen Chaixing shouted frantically: "Then what is the value of your life!"

At this moment, someone in the next room shouted: "Young man, I know, let me out, I know where the mechanism is!"

Shen Chaixing saw that it was a voice from the workshop, and hurriedly rushed in, it turned out to be Lao Zhangtou and shouted again: "Quick, I know!"

Shen Chaixing didn't say a word, and swung his sword to cut the chain.

Lao Zhangtou brought it to a flower bed, pushed open a flower pot, exposed a winch, and turned the winch in the opposite direction, Shen Chaixing saw that he was too slow, and also came up to help, Lao Zhangtou said: "Attention, don't make too much effort, break the winch and it's over." ”

As the winch turns, the pit is no longer sprayed with oil. Turning the winch again, a row of iron plows appeared underground, and under the impetus of the mechanism, they continued to fill the fire with earth, and the fire suddenly weakened. Shen Chaixing didn't wait for the fire to be extinguished, and rushed back first.

There was no figure in sight in the smoke and flames, Shen Chaixing rushed over to take a look, it turned out that everyone was lying together, piled up in a place that could see a circle, and the fire was not far from everyone. Linglong is on the top of the left side, using her body to protect several children.

Shen Chaixing hurriedly helped Linglong'er up, but when he saw that she was no longer breathing, he was so frightened that his soul was not possessed, and he hurriedly injected his true qi into Linglong'er's body.

Not long after, Linglong'er coughed twice, woke up leisurely, and saw Shen Chaixing in front of her, crying out with a "wow", and Shen Chaixing hugged her tightly in his arms. Linglong returns to normal, and the two of them rescue the others at the same time. At this time, Lao Zhangtou also rushed to help, but he didn't know martial arts, so he put out the fireworks that were still burning on the side.

It turned out that in the fire, many people had choked to death by the smoke before they were burned to death. The higher you go, the more smoke and dust, and the closer you get to the ground, the safer it will be. Linglong'er was able to give birth because when she was so smoky that she couldn't breathe, the true qi in her body naturally turned into internal breathing, and Shen Chaixing saved her life at a critical moment in her conditioning.

The others were not so lucky! Only the little girl at the bottom of that group of children survived, and no matter how much Shen Chaixing input his true qi, the other children could no longer be saved.

One of the women survived, the one who prayed at the last minute, and perhaps God heard her begging!

Faced with such an ending, Shen Chaixing and Linglonger couldn't accept it. Shen Chaixing was silent, and Linglong'er burst into tears.

At this time, the beggars and everyone were scattered, and they had already escaped. Shen Chaixing wanted to burn down the manor, but when he saw the torches, he had palpitations. Then he left the manor with the people.

After the city opened at dawn, Shen Chaixing led everyone into the city. After the temporary arrangement, Shen Chaixing came to the beggar gang alone to find the other party's bad luck in the city house, but he didn't know that the people of the beggar gang had already gotten the news, and the house was empty, which made Shen Chaixing hateful.

When he returned to the inn and asked about everyone's situation, Lao Zhangtou had no children, no daughters, and no home, but he had good skills and was good at making all kinds of mechanical tools, so Shen Chaixing gave him some silver taels, and at the same time asked him to go to the Dongting Gang.

The woman's home is outside Jiujiang City, but it is not very far from here, Shen Chaixing and Linglong'er discussed giving her a ride by the way, so as not to be photographed by the beggar gang again. The girl's name was called "Falling Flower", because she was too young to remember where her home was, she asked her anything, only said that she was willing to be with her big brother and sister, and the two had something to do, so they had to say good words to persuade her, first foster care at the woman's house, and then come to pick her up. And he gave the woman a sum of money, so that she could have children and take care of the child, and then she would find it later. The woman was kind-eyed, kind, and childless, so she was willing to adopt the "falling flowers" for a while.

After everything was in order, the two said goodbye to the reluctant falling flowers, and set out on the journey to Beijing again. It's just that the mood was different at this time, and Shen Chaixing was silent all the way.

One day, Linglonger saw that his face was red, and he seemed to be dripping blood, so he was tired of pushing his body out, so the two entered the small restaurant on the side of the road, and Linglonger poured wine for Shen Chaixing with her own hands.

It turns out that Shen Chasing Star and even people who are in love are most afraid of "inner demons", and what they are cultivating is the internal strength of Buddhism, and the most taboo is "emotion" and "anger". He was separated from his mother when he was young, and he committed a "heart demon" disease, and if it wasn't for Ji Tan Zongxi's rescue, he would have died early. Therefore, Linglong'er's explanation is particularly important, but he doesn't know either.

Under Linglong'er's frequent persuasion, Shen Chaixing drank a few glasses, suddenly sighed, and said to Linglong'er: "If I hadn't taken it upon myself to find Gu Niukou, the child should still be alive." If I hadn't been a hero or a hero, those children and women would still be alive. They all died because of my presence. ”

As he spoke, Shen Chaixing drank another big cup, and Linglong'er filled it for him again. Linglong'er knew that with Shen Chaxing's internal strength, no amount of alcohol could hurt him, but once he fell into the "heart demon", once he couldn't figure it out, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Linglong persuaded: "You're right, maybe we don't save those children and those women, they are alive." But is there any point in living like that? Living a life that is bullied by others and inferior to pigs and dogs, life is better than death! There is nothing wrong with what you and I have done. It was the murderers who burned the children to death. ”

Linglong'er saw Shen Chaixing put down the wine glass, listened to herself, and knew that her words had moved Shen Chaixing, so she continued: "People with incomplete limbs and disabled hands and feet go to beg because they lose their ability to survive, and there are also people who beg because they have suffered disasters, which is normal. However, there are some people who not only take advantage of other people's sympathy, but even abduct and force others to beg, and even form gangs in the name of righteousness to make profits and harm others?

Linglong'er's words opened Shen Chaixing's heart, and Shen Chaixing asked, "Then what should I do?"

Seeing that he had improved, Linglong'er smiled and said, "Is the sword in your hand a vegetarian?"

Shen Chaixing laughed when he heard this, suddenly remembered something again, and asked, "You said that there was something in the fire that day that you wanted to tell me about it, what was it?"
