728 A matter of life and death

"Senior brother, what are we going to do with them?" A rural woman asked.

"To treat the demon, of course, is to destroy his form and spirit, and he will not be able to live forever." Xue Ergou said with a murderous face, and then ordered: "Go and pick up some bud rice straw." ”

"Brother Wang, what do they want to do?" Qingqing grabbed Wang Baoyu's arm in fear and asked in a low voice.

"Anyway, it's not a good thing, Qingqing, if it doesn't work, you can promise to believe their master first, and go out first." Wang Baoyu whispered.

"No, believe their ghost master, it's better to let me die!" Qingqing said stubbornly.

Six or seven people quickly picked up a large pile of dried bud rice straw and threw it towards the pit under Xue Ergou's instructions. I only heard Xue Ergou say proudly: "Demon King Baoyu, let me taste the taste of burning fire immediately." ”

"Xue Ergou, you are breaking the law and you are going to eat guns." Wang Baoyu was also in a cold sweat for a while, and couldn't help shouting loudly. Qingqing also didn't expect that she would encounter such a harsh punishment, so she trembled with fright, grabbed Wang Baoyu's sleeve and refused to let go.

"Master has blessed me, and I am an incorruptible body of Vajra, invulnerable. Master said that as long as I get rid of you as a demon, my cultivation will step into the realm of a bodhisattva. Xue Ergou said indifferently, and continued to direct people to throw straw into the pit.

"Xue Ergou, stop daydreaming, let us out." Qingqing shouted in a trembling voice.

"It's late. But you're not a demon, you should be able to transcend. Xue Ergou said with a smile.

Seeing that a lot of straw had been thrown in the pit, Xue Ergou triumphantly turned on the lighter, Wang Baoyu only felt a chill in his back, it was over, even if he couldn't burn to death in this pit, he would be smoked to death.

At this time, Wang Baoyu's wrist was in pain, and when he looked down, he was caught by Qingqing, Wang Baoyu hurriedly persuaded: "Qingqing, heroes don't suffer losses in front of them, you quickly agree to their request, and ask Xue Ergou to take you up!" ”

Qingqing understood the meaning of Shuangxiu, and said with a pale face: "I don't, Xue Ergou is not a good person, if I go up, I will definitely be gnawed by his dog's mouth!" ”

Wang Baoyu said eagerly: "Qingqing, you heard Brother Wang say that life is more important than anything else, and now I don't care so much." If you can get out, you might be able to call someone over. ”

Qingqing said with tears in her eyes: "Brother Wang, do you think he will let me go so easily?" Besides, we have thick smoke here, and when people from afar see it, we will be almost cooked. Die with you, I'm not afraid! ”

Although she was not afraid, Qingqing's thin body still couldn't stop trembling, tears and sweat were crackling and falling, and her teeth were also gurgling, and the girl was now afraid except for the unyielding mind.

Wang Baoyu felt a burst of emotion in her heart, closed her eyes in despair, and for a while, all the past events were like clouds, and it was difficult to leave traces anymore, and all love and hatred became insignificant in the face of life. Wang Baoyu hugged the stubborn girl in front of her tightly, Qingqing could no longer suppress the fragility in her heart, buried herself in Wang Baoyu's arms and cried loudly, Wang Baoyu also felt that her nose was sore, and her eyes were moist, and the two of them were like a pair of bitter mandarin ducks who went to Huangquan together.

Xue Ergou raised the flame in his hand and shouted with a sneer: "Demon, go and die!" ”

At this critical juncture, a woman ran over, grabbed Xue Ergou's hand and pleaded, "Senior brother, please let them go!" ”

It was Li Cuiping who was standing not far away who spoke, and she was also panicked when she saw that Xue Ergou was going to play really. After all, Li Cuiping grew up watching Wang Baoyu, although the master ordered that Wang Baoyu must be killed, and he also participated in this conspiracy, but when he saw that Wang Baoyu was really going to be sentenced to death, the soft conscience in his heart was finally awakened.

"Li Cuiping, you have already made a great contribution by bringing Wang Baoyu here, and you can't destroy your merits anymore." Xue Ergou shook off Li Cuiping and said disdainfully.

"Master said to eradicate him, but he didn't say that he must be killed! Senior brother, he is still young and a child, please let him go! Now Li Cuiping has regretted it, and pleaded with tears.

At the same time, Li Cuiping hugged Xue Ergou's leg again and dragged him back a few steps, the lighter was already hot, and Xue Ergou's hot hand hurt, which made him angry and knocked Li Cuiping's head a few times to make a stern warning.

But at the moment of life and death, Li Cuiping refused to let go, crying and shouting: "Senior brother, even if you execute Wang Baoyu, you can't burn this child alive, don't let him go so painfully!" If he dies like this, his father and mother won't be able to live, and that's a lot of lives, big brother! Master, Baoyu! Li Cuiping shouted indiscriminately, very emotional.

Although Wang Baoyu was very angry that Li Cuiping lured him to this budding rice field and let himself fall into such a sinister pit, Li Cuiping was finally able to intercede for himself, which still made him quite gratified, which is enough to prove that although Li Cuiping believes in Master Wuxiang, her conscience is still clear.

Taking advantage of Li Cuiping's entanglement with Xue Ergou, Wang Baoyu gave Qingqing beside her a look, and the two of them quickly pulled the bud rice straw on their bodies and spread it under their feet, so that the position under the feet of Wang Baoyu and Qingqing became higher and higher.

At this time, a woman on the edge of the pit had sharp eyes, discovered the situation, and hurriedly reported to Xue Ergou: "Senior brother, they are about to come up." ”

"They must not be allowed to come up." Xue Ergou said resolutely, kicked Li Cuiping aside mercilessly, lit the lighter again, grabbed a handful of corn leaves, lit them into a torch, and threw them into the pit.

At this life-and-death juncture, Wang Baoyu suddenly calmed down, and while struggling to pull the corn stalks in the pit down his body, he told Qingqing to step on it hard! Not only do you have to step on the corn stalks, but you also have to step on the torches that have just been thrown down.

Li Cuiping wanted to rush over again to stop her, but the others had already stood in a row, blocking her way, letting her cry and grab the ground, and everyone was indifferent. In desperation, Li Cuiping staggered away while crying.

Xue Ergou's first torch was vigorously extinguished by Wang Baoyu and Qingqing, and it did not burn red at the bottom of the pit, but the accompanying smoke still choked them with a violent cough, difficulty breathing, and almost breathless.

Waiting for Wang Baoyu to barely open his eyes, then Xue Ergou's second torch was thrown down again, Wang Baoyu and Qingqing stomped on their feet again, this time, Wang Baoyu and Qingqing's faces were smoked with a layer of black ash, looking very embarrassed.

"This time the true nature of the demon is finally revealed, haha, demon, go die!" Xue Ergou lit a torch again and raised it high, Wang Baoyu saw this situation, and fell into despair for a while.
