Chapter 36: The Baptism of the Night Before
As the time before the demon sacrifice day gets shorter and shorter.
The faces of the students of the Dao Sect gradually became serious, especially when they saw the expressions of their teachers, this uneasiness gradually grew.
Adventures are not something that everyone has a life to enjoy.
The shadow of death, as time approached, weighed on the people.
As the strong senior brothers of the Dao Sect returned to their residences one by one to retreat, gradually everyone's faces revealed an unprecedented anxious look.
This is not a game.
If one is not careful, he will die.
People have only one life.
Obviously, not everyone has the guts to take their own lives lightly.
The atmosphere is becoming more tense day by day, and the surroundings are becoming more and more depressing day by day.
Some timid Daomen students have already begun to look for ways to survive, or how to not participate.
On the other hand, emotions gradually become extreme and sensitive.
Finally, the day before the Demon Sacrifice Day was about to begin, there was a commotion in the Daomen Market.
Faced with this situation, the top management of the Daomen took action.
The bazaar was closed, and all the people were repatriated to their homes.
As the night fell, the entire Daomen Academy was filled with a strong aura of unease
"It's about to begin. "Heavenly Dao Palace, Dao Lord said softly.
The unbroken Daozun on the side nodded: "Yes." ”
"Hehe, when I see them, I think back to us back then. Looking at the dormitory of the Daomen students, the Dao Master's face showed a look of nostalgia. "I still remember that night I stayed awake all night, staring at the red eyes the next morning, and waiting for the opening of the Demon Sacrifice Day with great anxiety. ”
"Haha, thanks to someone, I couldn't sleep that night. Bu Po Dao Zun smiled.
"How dare you say it? The Dao Lord glanced at the Dao Zun and said, "But after just half an hour, I slept like a dead pig." ”
"I don't understand, is it necessary to do this? This scene at the beginning, to be honest, even after a hundred years, is still a lingering palpitation. Tongxin Dao Venerable seemed to remember this vividly.
"Yes. The Dao Lord's eyes flashed solemnly, "No, this group of little ghosts who don't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth, I'm afraid that tomorrow they will be proud, thinking that they are going to participate in an outing, not to fight with the demon clan." ”
"Didn't we survive the battlefield after going through this night?"
"It's baptism. ”
"Let's hope those imps won't be scared. The Immortal Dao Venerable nodded, although this act would undoubtedly make the atmosphere of the Dao Sect very heavy, but it was undoubtedly necessary.
Only when you are afraid of the unknown, and only when you are afraid of the demon race, will you have a full understanding of your own life.
Fear, fear, is human instinct.
It may be bad, but as long as it can survive, nine out of ten monks will break through the original realm and rush to a new level.
Every time Daomen sacrifices to demons, the people who survived the eve will basically make a leap forward
Tianfu Palace.
Yang Xiaokai was alone, sitting upright on the main hall.
At this moment, he had put aside all the distractions in his mind and seemed very peaceful.
It's not that Yang Xiaokai is not afraid, as an ordinary person, how can he not be afraid of death?
It is precisely because he is afraid of death that Yang Xiaokai never wants to reveal anything, and he never wants to be an ordinary person.
Death can be said to be the heaviest thing in life.
What is eighteen years later, another good man? In Yang Xiaokai's opinion, this kind of discourse is no different from farting.
It is easy to die generously, but it is difficult to be righteous calmly.
No matter who is calm, if you give him time, give him a chance, let him sit down and think slowly, is it really so easy to die?
The reason why he can be so peaceful at this moment is not because Yang Xiaokai is not afraid, but because this is not the first time.
Yang Xiaokai, who was inexplicably involved in the police and bandit war and died in his previous life, did not die immediately.
Instead, as a hostage, after being imprisoned by the bandits for more than ten hours, he escaped successfully, and was exposed when he stepped out of the door, and finally killed three bandits in a frenzy, and was about to escape from Ascension but was killed by a shot.
Looking back now, everything that happened that day can definitely be said to be a legendary treatment, and if it were written as a novel, it would be at least a popular genre with a million words or more.
Because of this, Yang Xiaokai's mentality changed dramatically that day.
The fear of death, the expectation of life, the crazy fighting, and the fate that cannot be escaped.
The experience of less than a day was more wonderful than his whole life.
Therefore, after knowing that he had crossed, Yang Xiaokai quickly calmed down and quickly accepted his identity.
Even if he learned that this world was a world of cultivating immortals, he just complained, and he was not too shocked at all.
Taking a deep breath, Yang Xiaokai had a wry smile on his face.
Even if he has experienced real life and death, he obviously still can't let go completely.
When I read the book, it was nothing, but now that I think about it, how did you manage to ignore your own lives, fight calmly and paranoidly, and finally become kings?
Why can't this kind of potential be brought into play at all in the modern society on earth that doesn't need to die? Isn't this scientific?
Let's draw a talisman!
The thought fell, and Yang Xiaokai started to paint.
One by two, three by one, Yang Xiaokai drew very slowly, no matter whether he succeeded or failed, he was not in any hurry.
"Xiao Kai, in fact, you don't have to go to the Demon Sacrifice Day. ”
After I don't know how long, a voice suddenly appeared, remembering above the main hall.
With a pause in his palm, Yang Xiaokai said softly: "Is it a teacher?"
"Hmm. Yang Xiao's figure appeared directly on the main hall, without any wind or movement.
Yang Xiaokai suddenly asked, "Teacher, have you ever felt like this?"
Yang Xiao nodded lightly, "The teacher is also a human being, so he naturally feels like this." ”
"Are you scared?"
"Of course, who is not afraid? It was the first time I went to war. ”
"Did you go, teacher?"
"Go. However, on the third day, he was hit through the waist pole by a demon clan, destroying the entire kidney. The intestines were leaking out, and blood was spilled all over the ground, if it weren't for the luck of meeting the same senior brother passing by, I'm afraid I would have died a long time ago. Yang Xiao's tone was indifferent, as if he was not talking about himself.
Turning around, Yang Xiaokai's eyes couldn't help flashing with a different color.
The first time I encountered such a huge trauma, I shouldn't dare to go to the battlefield in my life, right?
You must know that after the Taoist students come down for the first time, they will still participate in the second and third times.
Before Jindan, you need to participate.
Even after Jindan, it was because he was able to go alone, so he didn't need to go there on the day of the demon sacrifice.
"Surviving, I'm terrified. Yang Xiao didn't wait for Yang Xiaokai to ask and said directly: "For the first month, I couldn't sleep every day, and when I closed my eyes, I saw the scene where I was pierced by the demon clan. What happened in that war undoubtedly became his own demons. ”
"In the end, there was no doubt that I broke down. ”
"I can't bear this pressure, I can no longer cultivate with peace of mind, I can't improve my realm, and I can't even rebel against the demon clan. ”
Yang Xiaokai was stunned, "Then how did you overcome it, teacher?"
"Xiao Kai, do you know how big the territory of the human race is after killing the Heavenly Claw Demon Ancestor 10,000 years ago?"
"I don't know. Yang Xiaokai shook his head, there were too many things that happened when he came to Daomen, and he obviously didn't have time to pay attention to this.
Yang Xiao said softly: "It's ten times that of today." ”
"Huh?"
"It is true that it seems that the population of the human race today is a thousand times or ten thousand times that of 10,000 years ago, but in fact, the living space of the human race is less than one-tenth of that of 10,000 years ago. ”
"My teacher, the former Venerable Lord of the Heavenly Fu Palace, after I decided to leave the Dao Gate and return to the ordinary, he took me to the place where the original human race lived. In the records, the once incomparably powerful and glorious country has become the habitat of the demon race. ”
"All of this was a great blow to me. ”
"But do you know what is the most shocking thing about being a teacher?"
"It's the Terrans. ”
"The demon clan will capture the human race, and they have been domesticated since they were caught. I don't know how many generations have passed, and I almost can't speak, I don't know how to resist, like an animal. Once ripe and fat, they are dragged to slaughter.
Women stay for copulation, only one man is left in a circle, children are screened out from an early age, and no one can live past the age of thirty. ”
"That day, my teacher made me understand thoroughly. If one day, if the Dao Gate is defeated, I, my descendants, my children and grandchildren, will become like this. ”
Speaking of this, a smile appeared on Yang Xiao's face for the first time, "Then the shadow left on the battlefield for me is gone." ”
"Teacher, you're not kind. Yang Xiaokai's little face was unhappy and said: "Shouldn't you come to persuade me to let me go?"
"Xiao Kai, as long as you are still in the Daomen, the teacher will be desperate to protect you. ”
Yang Xiao said: "I said this to you, not to ask you to go, nor to say that I want you not to go, but just to tell you everything I know." ”
"Whether it's my master, or my ancestor, or the ancestors of the Tianfu Palace, they don't want to tell their disciples about these things. They all want to completely solve this matter in their own hands, so that the younger generations can live the life they like happily. ”
"But I can't do it, so the teacher can only tell you the traditions of the Tianfu Palace. ”
"As for what you choose, it's all up to you. ”
Ding dong~!
Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Heavenly Fu Palace's Ten Thousand Years Faith.
Damn, I'll you, your plague-stricken system actually jumped out at this juncture, what are you going to do?
didn't have time to say what he felt in his heart, Yang Xiaokai almost didn't bite his tongue, if the system gave him the task of killing the demon clan and completing the ten-thousand-year belief of the Tianfu Palace, it would be better to kill him a little happier.
Something that my ancestors haven't done for thousands of years, don't do it.
I just want to save the machine spirit, find the fire talisman Daozun, and cure Yang Xiao, so the glorious and great mission of the savior should be left to someone else to complete.
