Rebirth: Re-entering the Jianghu
Chapter 20 Secret Exposed
At this moment, the sound of several people talking outside the room was suddenly heard. The footsteps were getting closer and closer. They looked at each other and hid tacitly. Luo Xiao was the only one left in the room.
I didn't look carefully enough just now. Luo Xiao took a closer look and found that this person did look somewhat similar to the wizard, but his face didn't look well, and he looked like he was going to fall after taking a few steps.
Luo Xiao reached out and held the man. She had a feeling that this man would be the key to unlocking the secret room. To get his words properly, gaining his trust was the first step.
The man didn't look as scary as people said, but he looked different from the man in the sedan chair. It seemed like he was a different person.
"You are so beautiful, will you marry me?" The seemingly weak man leaned on Luo Xiao's body, but his hands were tightly locked on Luo Xiao's neck, as if he would kill her immediately in the next second if she said she didn't want to.
There was a flash of murderous intent in his eyes, and Luo Xiao did not miss it. But in order to get the question, she still pretended that she didn't notice anything. The man said that he was the river god here, and humans had no right to call him by his name.
But since I married you, I'll have a drink with you. He turned around, slowly picked up the jug, poured a glass of wine, and handed it to Luo Xiao.
Luo Xiao didn't seem worried at all. He reached out to take the wine glass and poured all the wine onto the ground using his sleeve as a cover. The table blocked the view and the temperature was high inside so it could no longer be seen.
After talking for a while, the man who claimed to be the River God began to test him, asking if he had drunk too much and felt dizzy. Luo Xiao turned his head with difficulty and fell on the table.
Seeing the man fall on the table, the river god sneered and said, "What I like most is beautiful women, but they are not alive, especially her painful expression."
Wearing this wedding dress means you are not far from death. Indulging in sweet words and gentle words will only accelerate your death. Become the pigment of the most beautiful wedding dress, but I will remember you. Then sit at the table and wait for the wedding dress to swallow Luo Xiao.
After a quarter of an hour, there was still no response. The river god seemed to be impatient and became angry. He called two of his subordinates and strangled one of them by the neck with one hand. Soon the two men died, but the murderous intent in the river god's eyes did not disappear.
He turned his eyes to Luo Xiao and gave a strange smile. He was about to reach out to Luo Xiao's neck, but unexpectedly his hands were burned by a flame. His face was full of anger.
Luo Xiao, who was lying on the table, opened her eyes. Her eyes were clear, and the River God knew at a glance that Luo Xiao had not drunk the glass of wine. But whether she drank it or not, she would die. Once she came here, she could not leave.
Even if he woke up, he couldn't escape. Even if he did, he would be killed by the wizard. At this time, the four people took action and captured the river god after a struggle.
The river god laughed, looking disgusted. This guy must be a fool. What's so funny? He's going to die. But the river god suddenly put his hand over his heart, seeming to be in pain. Sweat beads appeared on his head, and his face became the same as seen in the sedan chair. His momentum seemed to have changed significantly.
Mu Xing assumed an attacking posture, intending to attack the River God as soon as he made a move, but unexpectedly the River God just sat on the chair.
His eyes were fixed on the people here. You came here, probably to find the mechanism of the secret room, but the mechanism here cannot be opened before I die.
You should have seen my brother, the wizard. We are twins, so naturally we look very similar.
Because the previous wizard said that the birth of twins would definitely bring disaster, my parents handed me over to other people to take care of, just so that they would have peace of mind when they abandoned me.
When I was six years old, they handed me over to the previous wizard. However, in the eyes of the previous wizard, he was the only one who could resolve this disaster. However, the previous wizard gave me a technique, and if I didn't complete the practice within a certain period of time, I would die.
It was not until I met my brother two years ago that I learned that the wizard had long connected our lives and had no choice but to build this temple to hide the secret.
Those pretty women were secretly transported out of the village and sold to other places. At the same time, a small number of them were left for me to practice. After all, his life was connected with mine, and he didn't dare to do anything to me.
Unfortunately, when the previous wizard was still alive, he had already used my blood to make such a wedding dress. Even though he died later, I could only use my skills to make myself look like an ordinary person.
Every time I see normal people living happily with their families, I feel unwilling to accept it. I have done nothing wrong since I was born, so why should I suffer the pain of separation from the moment I am born?
So they should be as miserable as I am. I can't find a way out, so I'll let more people accompany me. As long as there is enough blood, I can dye their eyes red. Their eyes that are no longer joyful look so fascinating.
They should be the same as me. Why should I suffer so much while they are safe and happy? My body can't take it anymore. This secret room was originally built by the wizard and I. It would be great if I could see the light before I die.
Mu Xing looked at him and carried him on his back, but the river god laughed and said, "I hurt you, aren't you afraid that I will stab you in the back?" Luo Xiao said, "Everything in the world has a reason. You didn't hurt us, but those innocent girls. I can't make decisions for them about their pain."
It is our job to hand you over to them. It is true that you have suffered injustice in your life, and it is also true that you have caused harm to others. You must accept the punishment.
However, after we leave the secret room, we should be able to wait until the last ray of sun of the day. Several of us sped up the process and released a few flying paper cranes to lead the women out of the secret room.
After walking through a long dark secret room, he finally saw the sun. The sun shone on a pale face. The bright sun was reflected in the river god's eyes. He thought that if he could see the sun earlier, things would not be like this.
The evening sun is unnaturally gentle, its halo caresses everyone, and it seems that time can also be frozen at this moment.
The man who had already run out of energy saw the sun and was placed under a tree outside the secret room. He looked at the village shrouded in the afterglow, covered with a soft veil. His eyes gradually became colorful and overwhelmed.
The last light slowly disappeared with the cicada's cry, but the world in the eyes of the river god did not dim. A few calls came from the village, and his people fell into darkness. His time was frozen at this moment. In the distance, the wizard also quietly said his final goodbye to this place and embarked on the road to death.
