40,000 Years of Cultivation

"what did you say!"

Thangka felt every hair on his body exploded, and every cell was frozen.

The raindrops are cold, and the blood is cooler than the raindrops.

"Step aside!"

Before he could react, Shao Jie on the opposite side had already let out a desperate roar.

Shao Jie instantly changed from a pitiful bereavement dog to a vicious hungry wolf. His right hand pressed the dagger hanging on the edge of his thigh, "Thangka, get out of the way!"

The crystal brain on his wrist squeaked and emitted an extremely dangerous red glow, but no one noticed this in the gust of wind and rain. Even if he noticed, he didn't care.

Anyway, Lingwang was severely disturbed by the storm and was disconnected, and no one could lock them through the portable crystal brain.

"No, Lingwang hasn't been interrupted, I can sense it."

Li Yao sighed, "It's just that someone is misleading you and makes you mistakenly think that the Lingnet is interrupted and no one can monitor and lock you. So, it's useless. Even if you let him go, he will be ambushed in the dark. Catch by the purification troops, it will also burden you with the charge of the'devil defiler', maybe you will be sent to the temple with him for purification-then there will be no drama.

"Stop him, before he makes a big mess, maybe you will be fine...for now."

Thangka's brain was blank, completely unresponsive.

Li Yao could only temporarily take over part of Thangka’s brain cells and central nervous system, and said to Shao Jie: "Look back, don’t make things worse. Many classmates can prove that Liao Meng hit you first, and you counterattacked—to protect yourself. The body is not harmed. This is also the third law of the way of perfection. Therefore, there is still salvation in the whole thing, which may not be that serious.

"But if you really run away, no matter who is right or wrong during the day, you will be inexcusable!"

"I...I...I..."

Shao Jie breathed quickly, and his arms holding the dagger trembled violently. The black raindrops left criss-crossing black lines on his face. Lightning blew on his head, making him more and more confused. , I have been hopeless, completely hopeless..."

"If you are saved, I will save you, the Supreme Master will save you, and the gods will save you—as long as you look back in time."

Li Yao continued to control Thangka’s throat and said ambiguous words, “Relax, relax, throw this bag away, it’s okay, let’s go back, we will all become'purifiers', you still have a chance, trust me, Believe in the blessings of the gods, and the gods will not forget every child."

Shao Jie's power was passing bit by bit.

It's like following the black rainwater flowing into the manhole deep in the city.

Noisy sounds and messy lights came from a distance, becoming the last straw to destroy his will.

He let out a sob of sadness or despair, took off the backpack full of high-energy food, and threw it to the deepest part of the ruined wall. Then, as if he had been pulled out of all the bones under his body, he stood desperately. Let Thangka go.

"Thangka, Shao Jie!"

Chu Zhiyun's voice came from the black rain curtain, and the classmates rushed over, "What happened?"

"It's okay."

Li Yao said, “I just fell and separated from everyone, and I met Shao Jie on the road-he fell into a pit and broke his leg, so he was very slow. I was about to take him to find him. You, go chasing the defector together!"

"No need to chase!"

Chu Zhiyun's voice was mixed with regret and another more subtle emotion, "The defector has been caught by the purification unit, the emergency mission is over, go back to the camp!"

This urgent task, which lasted until midnight, was like a loud thunder and little rain. There was an ending that was not enough for anyone to enjoy, but it was a matter of course.

Shao Jie stared at Thangka deeply, seeming to wonder why Thangka didn't point out his backpack to everyone.

However, Thangka suppressed all his emotions and looked at Shao Jie with calm and indifferent eyes.

When the team returned to the camp, it was already midnight.

They gave a very scribbled blessing of the Holy Light, and all the students were still ups and downs, and there seemed to be a poisonous excitement floating in the air in the air.

It wasn't until the execution frame was erected again that they saw the true faces of the two defected classmates—boys and girls who were just as ordinary as them.

As usual, these two sinners who have violated the rules of heaven will be sent to the temple for purification after being flogged.

It's just that the screams they made when they received the flogging were much louder and sharper than the classmate who stole the toy yesterday.

Shengmeng always abandon pain and believe that pain is also a test given to them by the gods. Only those who are indifferent in the face of extreme pain are truly pious.

But these two classmates knew that the deadline was approaching, but they gave up on themselves, unscrupulously vented their physical pain and inner fear, and turned the lashing moan into the chant of the heavenly devil.

Including Thangka, all the "children of the holy light" were deeply scorched by their ghost cry and wolf howling, their heartbeat was quickened, their breathing was rapid, the corners of their eyes twitched unconsciously, their pupils contracted into needles, and the needles were pierced again and again. Own brain.

Perhaps, when all the children were hunting down defectors, they had the same idea as Thangka—fleeing and fleeing the present life under the heavy rain and no one was around!

Thangka didn't know what choice he would make without Li Yao's guidance.

Will he let Shao Jie a horse?

Even, will he run away with Shao Jie?

If he finds not Shao Jie but the squad leader, if his commander Chu Zhiyun wants to escape and orders him to go with him, will he obey the order as always?

Tangka didn't know, so the thorny whip covered with venom was like a slap on his back, causing him to ache into his bones and be frightened.

Until the two bruised and **** defectors were dragged away by the instructor, the rest were dispersed by the hasty whistle, returned to their respective camps to wash and rest indiscriminately, got into the deepest part of the bed, and put themselves and the quilt. After kneading it into a ball, Thangka dared to breathe a long breath under the cover of his hands.

"Elder Yao, tell me, are you alone, or are there many'devils' like you that have come to all your classmates separately?"

Thangka’s brain rippled and hurriedly, and his indestructible beliefs gradually collapsed, “What is the truth, what does the so-called “ultimate test” mean, and why I feel that in just two days, everyone has gradually lost control and kept falling. , Has become completely unrecognizable, have we suffered a large-scale'Devil Tide Invasion', and everyone has been possessed by the gods, and can't be themselves?"

"First of all, I am not a demon, and second, even if you treat me as a demon of a certain form, I am unique. Looking at the entire universe, you can't find a second existence like me."

Li Yao pondered for a long time, and said, "However, your guess is not unreasonable. Maybe someone is using you "children of the holy light" to cultivate heavenly demons. These heavenly demons are not from outside, but from when you were very young. It began to be implanted in the body, but in the'ultimate test', all of them broke out."

"Cultivation, cultivate the demon?"

Thangka couldn't believe it, "Who can do this in the Holy League? Didn't the teacher, the dean, and the Supreme Master find it?"

"On the contrary."

Li Yaodao, "Only they—your mentor, dean, and supreme master, can do this."

"why!"

Thangka’s brain ripples became extremely sharp and messy, “We are the'children of the holy light', the purest and most loyal holy ally, and the purifiers of the future! Why do we use our bodies to cultivate the heavenly demons? Cruel experiment!"

"I don't know, there are many reasons."

Li Yao really didn’t want to say, but he had to harden his heart and intestines, “In medicine, in order to study a certain kind of bacteria, doctors will try to cultivate a large number of bacteria in a petri dish first, and give various stimulations to promote The spread and mutation of germs—Only by having a deep understanding of a certain germ can we completely control and kill it, right?

"So, maybe'Son of Light' is just the medium in the petri dish...Of course there are other possibilities, who knows?"

Thangka was silent for a long time.

Li Yao felt that the boy's mind was turning into an abyss, an abyss that could not be traced to the bottom.

"So, we didn't choose to be'purifiers' from the beginning, right?"

Thangka said sorrowfully, "We are destined to be something...'cultivator', we can never be a'purifier'!"

"Yes, not right."

Li Yao said, "If my perception and speculation are correct, you are indeed not selected'purifiers', but there is no such thing as'destined' at all. No one has the right to decide your destiny, never say'forever' Impossible', your destiny is determined by yourself, what kind of person you want to be, you can become what kind of person!"

"...Why didn't you just let me tell Shao Jie's backpack?"

Thangka was silent for a while, and took a deep breath, "If someone was monitoring us in the dark, wouldn't they have seen the whole thing, what would these people think about my concealment?"

"Because it is not necessary. Compared with the daytime when you and the monitor were in the supermarket, concealing Shao Jie's backpack is just a trivial matter, and it is more in line with your character and mental state of ‘deserved’."

Li Yao said, "Don't be afraid of making mistakes. Those people got you here deliberately to see you make mistakes. In the end, most people will make mistakes, just like Shao Jie, Liao Meng, Chu Zhiyun, and those two. Like the students who defected, there may be one or two students who are determined and pious to resist all temptations and make no mistakes. But do you think it will be you?

"If a child who should have been tempted by the gods to make mistakes, but uncharacteristically, not making any mistakes, it would be very strange, right?"

"and many more-"

Thangka’s pupils contracted again, and the brainwaves swelled into sharp peaks, “You mean, those people also know about the squad leader and I in the supermarket?”
