Ask Sword

The initial location I teleported to was just around the corner, and I soon met Chu Haoman and learned the truth of the matter.

However, Qishuiao, the center of the mutation, is allowed to enter and not allowed to leave, even if there is the fragrance of Zhenghun, there is no way to leave.

The only way to leave is to cause a mutation.

That is to actively stimulate the resentment in the bronze jar and shatter the illusion of Qishuiao.

Wang Linian said: There is not only Zhuo Lu's resentment in the bronze jar, but also the resentment of countless dead in the Shang Dynasty for hundreds of years.

Its accumulated resentment has reached the limit of overflowing, otherwise it will not invade the present world in the near future and drag Chu Haoman into it.

If Liao Kaifeng and others understand that they are trapped here forever,

It is very likely that they will take the initiative to destroy the bronze vessel, release the countless grievances in it, and leave while the illusion dissipates.

His tone was still calm, without any emotional fluctuations, The safety of Taiyuan County is more important than anyone and anything...

Judging from the information of Liao Kaifeng and Yan Yan, they have a certain probability of making a choice that is beneficial to them.

If these people reach an agreement and join hands, even I may not be able to suppress it.

In order to prevent the worst from happening, I just hid my identity and attacked secretly before all the people had gathered, dividing and destroying them.

A certain probability?

With a gloomy expression, Yu Yong said, It's just because of a certain probability that you disregarded the morals of the world and killed the people hired by the Wang family in Taiyuan with your own hands.

They were not even given a chance to choose.

If it wasn't for my better luck, you might even kill me.

.

Wang Linian glanced at him indifferently, and said peacefully: Chu Haoman convinced me to trust Ji Xingwang and Guan Anyan from Luli Academy. But he can't guarantee the character of others.

You are not from Taiyuan County, even if the entire Taiyuan County is destroyed, you will not be too sad about it-I will not bet the safety of my relatives, family, and people on the benevolence, morality, and family and country feelings of the monks in the countryside.

Even if the price is yourself, you will be trapped here forever?

Yu Yong shook his head and said gloomily, You people with five surnames and seven Wangs are really crazy.

If you're not crazy, how could it continue in the troubled times of the Jin and Sui Dynasties?

Wang Linian said flatly: Because we can't go out, people outside can't get any information. According to Taiyuan Wang's practice, when encountering such a situation, they will stand still, set up a defense line around the periphery, and send multiple teams to explore.

If there is no change, and all the teams have lost communication, then the Zhenfu Division will be notified—and the Zhenfu Division's solution is usually to disperse the surrounding people and set this area as a restricted area, as if it does not exist.

Wang Li Nian did not lie, even the Zhenfu Division was unable to solve all the changes in Quanyu Kingdom.

One of their important tenets is that if a thing itself is stable, and it is not getting worse or better, then don't change it.

Wait until something happens, or the situation deteriorates rapidly, and then try to fix it.

Life is what I want, and righteousness is what I want. You can't have both, and those who give up life for righteousness.

Chu Haoman smiled wryly and said, I can't let the change happen for my own self-interest, threatening the safety of the people in Taiyuan County.

Nor can I stay out of it and watch the situation gradually deteriorate.

So my solution is to sacrifice.

Guan Anyan's face trembled, Sacrifice?

Well. I will lie down in that bronze jar by myself.

Chu Haoman took a deep breath, That jar is an alienated object cast by a businessman, its essence is to torture and oppress people to the point of dying, and when they are dying, they can see the avenue of heaven and earth, and assist the fortune-teller to make predictions.

The fuel of qi is pain, resentment, hatred,

But if the person in the jar has lofty goals and no resentment,

Then it will in turn cause weakening, delay the outbreak of mutations, and even completely purify this urn.

.Have you tried it?

Ji Xingwang, who had been silent all this time, said suddenly.

Chu Haoman was silent for a while, and forced a wry smile on his pale face, Yes, I have tried it twice before you came here.

Once wading into the dark and airtight cage, the torment of thousands of victims in the past will all be imposed on the body.

Everywhere in his body was suffering from severe pain.

In the end, I couldn't even feel the pain, only the numbness like everything is white after a snowy day.

.

Guan Anyan remained silent. Even though Chu Haoman had lied to her and the teacher, in this situation, she was completely unable to get angry with him, so she could only ask awkwardly: What about Miss Wang? She is still waiting for you to go back.

she

Chu Haoman lowered his head, pursed his lips, and sighed: I'm sorry for her, but that's all I can do.

Unless people outside can predict the future and invite several Zen masters from the Candle Heaven Realm to come in, such as the Jianquan monk on Tiantai Mountain, who works day and night to save the resentment of the souls of the dead, there is a small possibility that, without harming oneself, Eliminate mutations.

Otherwise all I can do is sacrifice myself.

The tunnel fell into silence again. Everyone's eyes flickered under the light of the fire, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

Yu Yong squinted his eyes, he didn't trust Wang Li Nian who killed Liao Kaifeng, Yan Yan, and almost killed him at all.

For Chu Haoman, he was more vigilant than respectful - he had seen too many so-called gentlemen who were full of morality and benevolence, but were actually selfish.

Brother Lu, what do you think?

Yu Yong said suddenly, everyone's eyes turned to Li Ang subconsciously.

Yu Shusheng's eyes flickered, and he immediately understood Yu Yong's intention.

Among this group of people, Chu Haoman is a gentleman who is willing to sacrifice his life for righteousness, and Guan Anyan and Ji Xingwang are all from Luli Academy, and they are moral models of Miaohong.

Wang Linian is full of family interests, and he can voluntarily die in order to protect the family.

Only Yu Yong, Yu Shusheng, and Lu Fei have the same positions and interests.

They came here only to search and rescue Chu Haoman. They had no ability, responsibility or obligation to sacrifice themselves to save Bingzhou.

They can sacrifice voluntarily, but if Chu Haoman wants to be a saint himself and drags them to be buried with him,

Is that a bit

Ask me what do you think?

Li Ang tilted his head and said, I'll stand and watch.

Brother Lu, now is really not the time to joke around.

Yu Shusheng smiled wryly, Do you agree with this proposal?

I don't think I am a moral model in the strict sense, nor am I a villain who harms others and does not benefit myself.

He is just an ordinary hired monk who takes people's money and eliminates disasters for others. The total reward was only fifty fine gold, and the full amount was not even paid in advance.

Li Ang said slowly: Now I have to make a choice between protecting myself and protecting others, which makes it very difficult for me.

.

Wang Linian was silent when he heard the words, although according to the information sent back by his clansmen, the monk named Lu Fei in front of him is the inheritor of the nine-headed beast, and his strength is estimated to be at the middle to high level of listening to the rain.

But during the confrontation just now, he couldn't perceive the aura fluctuations on the opponent's body, which seemed particularly strange.

Well, when I was drifting at sea, I heard such a story. I don't know if you have heard it.

Li Ang said slowly: There is such a city where the weather is good, the crops are plentiful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

When other places are suffering from floods, droughts and locust plagues, and the people are in dire straits,

Only the city was spared.

The people in the city feel that this is God's favor, and while they are extremely devout to Haotian, they demand themselves morally, do not close their doors at night, do not pick up lost items on the road, and there is no crime in the city.

However, in fact, the reason why this city is so peaceful is that in a cellar that no one cares about, there is an innocent person who is tortured all the time-the suffering of the innocent person pleases the ghosts and gods, and let the ghosts and gods protect the city in the dark. City.

Is this normal? Or, is it moral?

Without waiting for others to express their opinions, Li Ang said to himself: The person in the cellar is a perfect victim, he has never committed a crime, and he doesn't even know why he suffered bad luck.

And the residents on the ground, because they don't understand the situation at all, have no moral burden.

If someone unfortunately learns of this information, he has two options, one is to keep silent and continue to maintain the status quo,

The other is to let the victim go. Then ghosts and gods will no longer bless the city, causing the city to fall into the same floods, droughts and locust plagues as other places, and destroying the paradise.

If this person is a moral model, firmly believes that one person cannot be killed in order to save thousands of people, chooses the latter option, and believes that a city can be rebuilt by relying on people's own will, morality and strength,

Then things are very interesting-everyone knows that the more people there are, the more dirty corners there will be.

The elderly who suffer from hunger and cold and have no one to support them;

homeless and forced homeless children;

Poor, sick and bullied laborers;

You see, the city itself cannibalize people. For these people, they have no right or ability to change their environment.

The situation is indistinguishable from that of an innocent victim tortured in a cellar,

It just gave an illusory illusion of 'owning personal freedom'.

Li Ang spread his hands and said: There is no absolutely strict and fair moral standard in the world.

When the two options correspond to different morals and there is no more right to choose, the choice itself is immoral.

Ordinary people have their own ability limitations, and because of their lack of ability, they fall into a moral dilemma. The only thing they can do is to do good deeds and don't worry about their future.

Well

Yu Shusheng thought about it for a while, but his face was still confused, Brother Lu, do you agree with Chu Haoman's plan?

What? Of course not.

Li Ang shook his head and said: What I'm talking about is that ordinary people have limitations in their abilities, so they fall into moral dilemmas due to lack of abilities.

But I'm different, I'm not human.

What?

Yu Yong and the others said in unison.

I'm not human.

Li Ang said calmly: My mentor, Shanks nicknamed Redhead, once told me that the best way to get rid of fear is to face fear, and the best way to get rid of pain is to face pain.

In order to practice special exercises,

He first asked me to torture myself in a mild way, such as putting fine gravel on the soles of my shoes and running for a whole day,

Then the training methods gradually upgraded, from sticking bamboo sticks into nails, to inducing poisonous insects to bite the whole body.

When this whole process was completed, my body could no longer feel any pain, and I became inhuman.

As if to prove his words, Li Ang picked up a piece of gravel from the ground, and slammed it on his forehead with a crisp sound.

Look, it's all right.

Li Ang calmly picked up the stones and performed head-crushing stunts for others.

Well

Everyone was at a loss for words for a while, not knowing how to evaluate,

Ji Xingwang opened his mouth, hesitated for a long time, and then said: Brother Lu, what if that alienated object is aimed at the soul?

That would be even better.

Li Ang smiled slightly, The special feature of that exercise is that it can not only isolate pain, but also transform pain into happiness.

For you, the bronze jar is a tomb where the living are buried, but for me, it is just a happy house.

The expressions of the rest of the people were wonderful, but Li Ang acted as if nothing had happened, and said to himself: Chu Haoman's plan is for him and Wang Linian to lie down in the bronze jar to kill their grievances in the cycle of reincarnation.

But mortals have limits, no matter how tenacious your willpower is, you won't be able to last long in the face of the deep resentment that has been passed down from the Shang Dynasty to the present.

If you carry it by force, you may become stupid and sluggish, completely losing consciousness.

In the worst case, the two of you can't control your emotions, or have resentment, and directly detonate the bronze jar in advance-the probability of this possibility is not low.

I am different, whether it is ignoring pain or the ability to turn pain into pleasure, it can support me for a long time.

So, let me try it this time.

.

Chu Haoman was dumbfounded, and he was stunned for more than ten seconds before he realized it. He looked at Wang Linian and said, Okay, okay.

That's enough.

Li Ang nodded contentedly, strode forward, and said casually: By the way, you'd better stand far away later. Besides, if we can get out, my reward will be quadrupled—except for rescuing you. Go, Taiyuan Wang should give me another reward for saving Taiyuan County.

Chu Haoman didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but Wang Linian narrowed his eyes slightly and said: If your Excellency can save Taiyuan County, let alone four times the reward, ten times the reward is absolutely fine.

Okay, ten times. Then I will let you know the delivery method.

Li Ang nodded, looked at Wang Li Nian and said, In the end, one yard is worth one yard, Wang's reward is one thing, but it's another thing for you to stab Liao Kaifeng and Yan Yan in the back.

I am a hired monk with a work ethic.

Wang Li Nian nodded and said: Okay. If I can go out, I will quadruple the rewards of Liao Kaifeng and Yan Yan and hand them over to their designated beneficiaries in the ghost market. I will personally release the news in the ghost market that I killed them .If their friends and relatives want revenge, come on.”

Um.

Li Ang nodded noncommittally, passed the two of them, passed through the stone gate, and walked to the end of the tunnel.

The three curved bottom feet of the bronze jar pass through the thick rock formation and hang down from the tunnel dome.

Below it was a hill of scorched human skeletons.

clack clack.

Li Ang climbed up the Bone Mountain and climbed to the top, only to see a door opened from the outside at the bottom of the bronze jar.

As soon as he opened the door, there were thousands of howling ghosts and howling wolves that did not sound like human voices, billowing thick fog gushed out, and the bone mountain below also ignited faint will-o'-the-wisps.

Tsk.

Li Ang shook his head, jumped into the cage, and closed the bronze door heavily.

Boom!

With a loud bang, silence returned to the jar,

Sitting in front of Li Ang was a thin, scorched, withered body covered with oil.

Zhuolu.

Li Ang took a deep breath, Zhuo Lu's body died three hundred years ago, but her remaining part is still trapped here, neither living nor dead, suffering eternal torture.

It's all over.

Li Ang stretched out his hand and gently covered the opponent's eyes, Go to sleep.

Gradually, some small sounds rang in my ears.

chopping, chopping, burning, drowning

The wailing of countless people when they were dying came from all directions, and the resentment turned into a solid black mist, which slowly settled and enveloped like a cloth.

Suffocation, pain, despair.

If ordinary people stayed here, they would probably have a mental breakdown within a quarter of an hour.

Li Ang sat cross-legged, feeling the changes in the surrounding environment, his expression still calm and composed, and calmly assessed the surrounding situation, Tsk, seeing the degree of materialization of resentment, if there are more than a dozen reincarnations, the entire bronze jar will probably be directly destroyed. Burst.

Blow up Qishuiao to the sky, and turn Bingzhou into a magical kingdom on the ground by the way.

Chu Haoman's original plan was just to fight the fire with his salary.

Click click click.

His body swelled slowly and quickly. The bamboo hat and coir raincoat he was wearing were all stretched apart by the moss.

Transformed from a human body into a large mess of silk threads.

Zheng!

Hundreds of silk threads shot out quickly and were nailed to the inner wall of the bronze jar,

In the next instant, blue flames were ignited on the surface of all ink filaments.

The moment Qingyan came into contact with the black mist of resentment, it exploded violently like an open fire meeting oil, with hundreds or thousands of times the efficiency.

boom! ! !

The entire bronze jar was ignited with blue flames,

The Qishui lake on the top of the scorpion boiled violently, and countless black fish in the water were swept by the blue flames, retreating from the entity to the fog state, annihilated and dissipated.

The tunnel trembles, the earth shakes,

Yu Yong and others watched all this happening in a daze, only Ji Xingwang's eyes suddenly shrank, and he recognized the essence of Qing Yan, Ye Huo! He is using Ye Huo to ignite the resentment in the bronze jar.

What?!

Chu Haoman realized in an instant, No, it can't be done, this will only make the resentment burst out all at once. We have to stop him!

That's too late.

Ji Xingwang waved his palm, repulsed him, and pulled back Chu Haoman, who was about to rush towards the end of the tunnel, Once the fire of karma is ignited, it will not dissipate until the resentment is eliminated. Let's go!

Now is no longer the time to worry about whether Lu Fei has deceived them or not. Ji Xingwang and the others rushed along the road when they came.

They originally relied on the bronze jar to exist, but now that the bronze jar was ignited by the fire of karma, they naturally had to collapse.

Boom boom boom boom!

At this moment, the bronze jar erupted like a volcano with raging flames, and the sins accumulated for thousands of years were all burned into ashes in the karmic fire.

Qishui Lake was completely evaporated, and the rock formations on the shore of the lake were also melted by high temperature, flowing freely like magma.

Wang Linian and others hurriedly escaped underground,

Chu Haoman, who was held by Ji Xingwang in his hands, turned his head unwillingly, and saw a blue pillar of fire rising from the mountains in the distance.

The clouds that floated in the sky were also engulfed and rolled by the pillar of fire, turning into thicker and thicker fire tornadoes, twisting wantonly in the sky, and showering the rain of fire on the mountains.

No

Chu Haoman groaned in pain, and the immeasurable resentment was ignited by the fire of karma, and the aftermath was enough to burn the Qishuiao to a 50-mile radius, turning it into a pale land that could no longer grow any crops or inhabit any living things.

The farthest can even spread to a radius of hundreds of miles - the entire Bingzhou City and nearby towns may not be able to survive.

What's more, so much resentment is spreading all over Hedong Road, after a few years, I don't know how many new mutations will be born and how much damage will be caused.

Wait. That's it?

Wang Linian's voice brought back Chu Haoman's consciousness. He stared and saw the towering fire tornado behind the mountains, which was gradually sinking and falling slowly.

————

In the bronze jar, there were no countless ink filaments in the human form, and while igniting the karmic fire,

While protruding the silk thread out of the jar, a huge drill bit was formed at the bottom of the bronze jar, and with the Mountain Rat Claw that could be used for the last time, it drilled down rapidly,

Try to bring the bronze jar to the deep underground far away from human beings before it completely explodes.

Above is the blazing fire tornado, below is the crazily spinning moss drill bit, and in the middle is the bronze jar with cracks constantly appearing on the surface and ready to collapse at any time.

The speed of life and death, the safety of the entire Taiyuan County depends on it.

Hey, it's obviously a first-level mutation, and the monks in the Candle Sky Realm don't take action, so let me, a little monk, resist the thunder.

Mosi made an indistinct sound, and resolutely contracted and tightened, turning the bronze jar heavily sideways, and buckled it upside down in the deep rock formation.

The next moment, the bronze jar finally couldn't support the karmic fire that detonated from the inside out, and exploded underground.

The loud sound ran along the veins of the earth,

Chu Haoman and others who were about to escape from Qishuiao were covered under the soil layer by the flying sand and rocks.

The people in Bingzhou and Taiyuan counties looked at the slightly shaking ground under their feet in panic, not knowing what happened.
