Chapter 180: Hopeless
The paper talisman that was thrown into the fire by Mu Xingqiu refused to admit defeat, jumping up and down with the flames, making a crackling and crisp sound, sparks splashed everywhere, and the ground monkeys avoided one after another.
Yin Bushen stretched out his hand into the fire, grabbed the burning paper talisman, rubbed his hands a few times, and the paper talisman turned into green smoke and disappeared, arousing the reverent gaze of the monkey.
This little spell couldn't scare him, Yin Bushen was annoyed that he hadn't seen through it before, and asked Daozun to solve it himself, "Okay, you Huaibi King, it's really insidious and shameless, it turns out that eating fish and chatting are all covers." ”
Before Mu Lie could figure out the situation, he asked in surprise, "What's the matter?
King Huaibi was silent, his face was not ashamed, and Yin Bushen pointed at him and said, "He was ordered to kill this officer! ”
King Huaibi said calmly, "He must die." ”
Unfazed, the officer repeated: "I must die." ”
"Looks like you two are really in for it. Yin Bushen looked at Mu Xingqiu to see how he solved it.
Mu Xingqiu asked the officer, "What's your name?"
The officer was slightly surprised, and thought for a while before saying, "My name is Lu Shihui, a native of the Wandering Country." ”
"Ha, you must be the tenth in the family. Yin Bushen guessed.
"It's the wisdom of 'picking people's teeth', and it has nothing to do with ranking, I'm the eldest with a younger brother and three younger sisters. ”
"Why do you have such a name when you are a soldier? And the meaning is not good, it should be called 'Shenghui' and 'wisdom'. ”
"The gentleman who named me said that there is no one in the world who can have great wisdom, and ordinary people can pick up the wisdom of the wise even if they are motivated, I am an ordinary person, so I ......"
"Hey, no ambition. Yin Bushen glanced at Mu Xingqiu again, and seeing that he didn't mean to speak, he turned to King Huaibi and asked, "This is the veteran you brought from the Wave Country. Why did you want to kill him with your own hands? Is it worthy of my hometown fathers?"
King Huaibi was silent, and Lu Shihui said: "It has nothing to do with His Highness, it is my own fault, I did not fight to the death when the mission was blocked, but survived, which is unfair to other soldiers." ”
"It's a demon, it's a demon. Yin Bushen shook his head again and again, and more than forty ground monkeys also shook their heads, "Don't ask, you can't kill the officer." If you go back, you'll have to be executed by the emperor, right?"
King Huaibi nodded.
"At the end of the day, you're all going to die. Yin Bushen pointed to the wooden stakes on the dock, "I know what you are doing, this is the blood sacrifice array of the demon clan, after all the pillars are arranged, various demon weapons or magic weapons will be hung on them, and then sacrificed with the blood of the living, a pillar needs at least one person." Look at what you mean, you want to build 10,000 roots, right? You fought against the demon clan in the land of the demons, and you also learned the methods of the demon clan. ”
"There are five circles, one in the south, one in the northwest, one in the northwest. The number of each one varies, adding up to 90,000. "King Huaibi is still calm.
Yin Bushen gasped, "How many of you are in total?"
"There are more than 7,000 people left after the formation. ”
Yin Bushen said to Mu Xingqiu: "This is clearly the demon blood array that the giant demon king put on the top of the lacquer back then, but the demon blood was replaced by human blood. The Blood Array of the Giant Demon King has not been fully formed, and the Human Emperor is going to inherit his legacy. ”
"What else can I do?" King Huaibi looked up suddenly, his eyes reflecting fire. He had asked Mu Xingqiu for help, but he had not seen any movement for a few days, and he began to be disappointed, "We are mortals, at most we know a little talisman technique, what can we use to fight against a god-like enemy besides our own lives? But where is this heart? Is it you? Even if you don't lose your memory, you're no match for Kun Chao. Is it me? Ha, my demon is only deeper than others, I know that the future is hopeless, I know that everything I am doing now is meaningless, I even know that the world after the death of the ancient gods does not exist at all, but I still follow the Emperor Ci all the way to the edge of the cliff, he said jump, I jumped. ”
King Huaibi's gaze turned to Yin Bushen, not even interested in judging, and then looked at Mu Lie, "Is it him? An innocent human youth, who came alone to challenge the master of the world, asked me to say that he was deceiving himself, he knew very well in his heart that he would definitely be defeated, and he didn't even have a chance to meet the enemy, but he pretended not to know anything, pretending that his life was still worthwhile." It's also a kind of demonization, innocence, ignorance, stupidity, who can tell the difference between them?"
Mu Lie's face became redder and redder, but he didn't open his mouth to argue.
"You are General Mu, and you have a reputation for both destruction and salvation. King Huaibi's gaze returned to Mu Xingqiu, and the fire in his eyes burst out with strong enthusiasm, "Can you still create a miracle this time? ”
"I can't promise the miracle you expect. Mu Xingqiu looked at the other side of the Jiehe River, and a paper bird was flying in the air staring here.
"Then we have no other choice. The enthusiasm in King Huaibi's eyes dimmed, "We will die here, looking for hope in the impossible, maybe there are really ancient gods and the afterlife." ”
King Huaibi took out the three idols from his bosom, rubbed them gently, and repented of the unbelief he had just expressed.
The beliefs of the ancient gods are all over the world, but the teachings are very different and even diametrically opposed.
Mu Xingqiu summoned out the Sword Washing Pool, which Qin Lingshuang asked Yin Bushen to bring to him.
The Sword Washing Pool is a stone basin of random size, containing a little water, which, like the Patriarch Tower, is also polluted by Kunchao spells, but does not affect normal use.
Mu Xingqiu tapped lightly on the outer edge of the stone basin, the sound was very monotonous at first, and slowly turned into a soft buzzing sound, and after a while, it was vaguely like a woman's chanting, and it was from this moment that King Huaibi stopped his recitation and concentrated on the sound of the sword washing pool, and the officer Lu Shihui also propped up his body and listened attentively.
For a while, no one around the bonfire spoke, Yin Bushen looked towards the Broken Flow City, knowing that this was the chanting sound made by Qin Lingshuang, chanting is a powerful spell, which is a single subject in the Taoist system, Qin Lingshuang has not learned much, but it is enough to lift the heart of frustration and hopelessness.
Even Mu Xingqiu was immersed in this sound, but he still lightly tapped the sword washing pool, spreading the chanting sound farther, the paper birds on the other side disappeared, and there seemed to be a gust of wind howling in the barracks.
After nearly two quarters of an hour, the chanting died down.
Mu Lie suddenly knelt on the ground. His fists were smashed into the snow, and his whole body trembled, as if he was sobbing, "Must ...... Do something...... Even if you die......"
Officer Lu Shihui lay down again and let out a sigh, "Another world, the world after death ......"
Yin Bushen was also moved by the sound of chanting, and motioned for the monkeys to lean over and reach out to brush over their furry heads, "Actually, I have already fallen into the devil." From the day my father gave me to Lao Jun as a gift, I was under the spell. This is not the real me, I am the son of the Jiaowang, I have dreams, I have friends, but they are all gone, they are all gone......"
Yin Bushen trembled more obviously than Mu Lie, and the ground monkeys leaned closer together, and those who couldn't squeeze in stretched out their hands to him.
The change in King Huaibi is the least. It's just that his expression is calmer, "Kun Zhen's strength is beyond the capacity of this world, even if there is one person, such as General Mu." If you can really defeat Kun Chao, so what? Your power is greater than his, and the more oppression you have on this world, the stronger you will naturally be. ”
"Hey, don't you even believe Daozun?" Yin Bushen pushed away the ground monkeys beside him. This is the end of his emotion, a chanting sound cannot remove the "demonic thoughts" in his heart, and he is still the current Yin Buying. Take every opportunity to cling to the branches of the strong.
King Huaibi smiled slightly, and put the ancient god statue in his heart, "Of course I believe it, I believe in my father, I believe in half a demon, I believe in Emperor Ci, and I believe in the ancestor of the Dao system...... I will continue to believe, do I have any other choice but to believe? I am just pointing out the fact that the power of the emperor comes from mortals, and the more powerful they are, the more dependent they are on their subjects; in the same way, the power of the Taoist system comes from the Taoist priests, and the two are inseparable; Kun Chao does not depend on anyone, he is self-perfect, he is the most perfect Taoist priest. He is like a great general in the imagination of mortals, he can defeat thousands of enemy troops by rushing into the battlefield alone, such a general does not exist, but if he really exists, what do he want the soldiers to do? What do he want the emperor to do? Further, what do he want the people to do?"
The influence of the chanting on King Huaibi also disappeared, and he fell into extreme darkness again, not seeing the slightest hope, "General Mu doesn't need much food, right? Clothes can be changed, cultivation is your own business, at most you need a little pill, you can pick it yourself, as for the magic weapons, the Dao system has accumulated too much over the past 100,000 years, and you shouldn't need the gold, silver, copper, iron, etc. contributed by mortals, right? Look, you haven't defeated Kun Chao yet, and you don't have much to do with mortals." ”
"You've really wronged Dao Zun. Yin Bushen stepped forward, since Dao Zun was unwilling to speak, he had to take on the responsibility of the battle of words, which was much safer than charging into battle, which was exactly what he wanted, "You can no longer find a second strong man as close to mortals as Dao Zun, he was like this before, and he is now, he let Mu Lie go and allowed the Holy Rune Army to be stationed, you must know that he alone can defeat your entire army." As far as I know, Dao Zun has been walking among the mortals in Jiangnan for the past two years, and the relationship is deep. ”
King Huaibi smiled softly, "So the difference between General Mu and Kun Chao is a thought: one wants to be close to mortals, the other doesn't, those who are close will not become stronger, and those who are not close will not be weaker." ”
Yin Bushen frowned and thought for a while, but he couldn't argue, and said to Mu Xingqiu: "Daozun, King Huaibi has fallen into the devil deeply, please allow me to kill him, anyway, it is useless to leave him, at least if he dies, it will not destroy morale." ”
The officer Lu Shihui said: "Please kill me together, and if you delay any longer, I'm afraid that I am not qualified to enter the world of the ancient gods." ”
People's hearts are also battlefields, Mu Xingqiu and Qin Lingshuang had their first confrontation with Kun Chao on this battlefield, and it was the two of them who were defeated, although they were not defeated, but they also showed a big gap in strength.
"Okay. Mu Xingqiu agreed, but he didn't let Yin Bushen move, but cast the spell himself, pointed at each of them, Lu Shihui closed his eyes, and King Huaibi fell softly.
Mu Lie was taken aback, Yin Bushen but sighed secretly.
"Your method of refining beasts should be almost complete, contact the Spirit King of Wind Blocking Mountain, and ask her to come to Broken Flow City. Mu Xingqiu had extremely firm confidence, thinking that the fire he had been looking for for a long time was in Yang Qingyin, "I want to get my memory back, it's not hearsay rumors, it's my truest memory." ”
