"The initial location of my teleportation was just around the corner. I soon met Chu Haoman and learned the truth of the matter.
However, Qishui'ao, which is the center of the mutation, is not allowed in or out. Even if you have Zhenghunxiang, you can't leave.
The only way to leave is to cause a mutation.
That is to say, he actively stimulates the resentment in the bronze vessel and shatters the illusion of Qishui'ao. "
Wang Linian said: "The bronze ware contains not only the resentment of Zhuo Lu, but also the resentment of countless dead people in the Shang Dynasty for hundreds of years.
The accumulated resentment has reached the limit of overflowing, otherwise it would not invade the present world in the near future and drag Chu Haoman in.
If Liao Kaifeng and others knew that they were trapped here forever,
It is very likely that they will take the initiative to destroy the bronze, release the countless resentments contained in it, and leave while the illusion dissipates. "
His tone remained calm, without any emotion, "The safety of Taiyuan County is more important than anyone or anything.
Judging from the information of Liao Kaifeng and Yan Yan, there is a certain probability that they will make a choice that is beneficial to them.
If these people reach an agreement and join forces, even I may not be able to suppress them.
In order to prevent the worst from happening, I hid my identity and attacked secretly before everyone gathered, and then defeated them separately. "
"A certain probability?"
Yu Yong's expression was gloomy and uncertain, and he said: "Just out of a certain probability, you disregarded the morality of the world and killed the people hired by the Wang family of Taiyuan yourself.
They weren't even given a chance to choose.
If I hadn't been lucky, you might have killed me too. "
"..."
Wang Linian glanced at him indifferently and said calmly: "Chu Haoman convinced me that I believe in Ji Xingwang and Guan Anyan of 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 feelings of family and country of the rural monks. "
"Even if it costs you yourself, you will be trapped here forever?"
Yu Yong shook his head and said gloomily: "You people with the fifth surname and Qiwang are really crazy."
"If you're not crazy, how could you survive in the troubled times of the Jin Dynasty and the late Sui Dynasty?"
Wang Linian said calmly: "Since we can't go out, people outside can't get any information. According to Taiyuan Wang's practice, when encountering this kind of situation, they will stand still, set up a defense line on the outside, and send multiple teams to explore.
If there is no change, and all teams lose communication, then the Zhenfu Division will be notified - and the Zhenfu Division's solution is usually to disperse the surrounding people and set the area as a restricted area, as if it does not exist. "
Wang Linian did not lie. Even Zhenfusi was unable to solve all the changes in the Yu Kingdom.
One of their important tenets is that if something is stable and has not gotten worse or better, then don't change it.
Until something happens, or the situation deteriorates rapidly, then think of ways to solve it.
"Life is what I want, and righteousness is what I want. You can't have both. You have to sacrifice life for righteousness."
Chu Haoman smiled bitterly and said: "I cannot let the mutation happen for my own selfish gain and threaten the safety of the people of Taiyuan County.
I couldn't stay out of the situation and watch the situation gradually get worse.
So my solution is to sacrifice. "
Guan Anyan's face trembled, "Sacrifice?"
"Yeah. It's up to me to lie down in that bronze vessel."
Chu Haoman took a deep breath, "That temple is an alienated object made by a businessman. Its essence is to torture and oppress people until they are near death. When they are dying, they can glimpse the avenue of heaven and earth and assist the fortune teller in making predictions.
The fuel of hemorrhoids is pain, resentment, and hatred.
But if the person who is in trouble has a noble purpose and no resentment,
Then it will in turn cause weakening, delay the outbreak of mutation, and even completely purify this evil. "
"...Have you tried it?"
Ji Xingwang, who had been silent until now, suddenly said.
Chu Haoman was silent for a moment, and forced a wry smile on his pale face, "Yes, I have already tested it twice before you came.
Once you step into the dark and airtight cave, all the suffering of thousands of victims in the past will be inflicted on you. It is not an exaggeration to say that thousands of ants will eat your heart and your body will be shattered into pieces.
Every part of his body was in severe pain.
By the end, I couldn't even feel the pain, only the numbness like after a snowy day when everything is white. "
"..."
Guan Anyan remained silent. Although Chu Haoman deceived her and the teacher, under this situation, she was completely unable to feel angry towards him. She could only say in a difficult tone: "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 can't help her, but that's all I can do.
Unless outsiders can predict the situation and invite several great Zen masters from the Zhuxiao Realm, such as the Jianquan Monk from Tiantai Mountain, who work day and night to transcend the resentment of the dead souls, there is a slight possibility that without harming themselves, Eliminate changes.
Otherwise all I can do is sacrifice myself. "
The tunnel fell into silence once again, and everyone's eyes flickered under the firelight, not knowing what they were thinking.
Yu Yong narrowed his eyes. He completely distrusted Wang Linian, who killed Liao Kaifeng, Yan Yan, and almost killed him.
For Chu Haoman, he was more wary than respectful - he had seen too many so-called "gentlemen" who talked about morality and benevolence, but were actually selfish.
"Brother Lu, what do you think?"
Yu Yong said suddenly, and everyone's eyes subconsciously turned to Li Ang.
Scholar Yu'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 justice. He, Guan Anyan and Ji Xingwang are both from Luli Academy, and he is a moral role model for Miao Hong.
Wang Linian is always thinking about family interests, and he will die voluntarily to protect his family.
Only Yu Yong, Jade Scholar, and Luffy have the same positions and interests.
They were originally just here to search and rescue Chu Haoman. They had no ability, no responsibility, and no obligation to sacrifice themselves to save Bingzhou.
They can sacrifice themselves voluntarily, but if Chu Haoman wants to be a saint and drags them to be buried with him,
So is this a bit...
"Ask me what I think?"
Li Ang tilted his head and said, "I'll stand and watch."
"Brother Lu, now is really not the time to joke."
Scholar Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Do you also agree with this plan?"
“I consider myself not a moral model in the strict sense, nor am I a villain who harms others but does not benefit himself.
He's just an ordinary hired monk who takes people's money and eliminates disasters for them. 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. This is very difficult for me."
"..."
Wang Linian was silent when he heard this. Although according to the information passed back by his tribe, the monk named Luffy in front of him was the inheritor of the Nine-Headed Flycatcher, and his strength was expected to be at the intermediate to high level of Listening to the Rain Realm.
But during the confrontation just now, he couldn't sense the spiritual energy fluctuations on the other party's body, which seemed particularly weird.
"Well, I heard such a story before when I was wandering on the sea. I wonder if you have heard it."
Li Ang said slowly: "There is such a city where the weather is smooth, the harvest is plentiful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.
When other places are suffering from floods, droughts and locust plagues, and people are struggling to survive,
Only this city survived.
The people in the city felt that this was God's blessing. While they were extremely devout to Haotian, they also required themselves to be moral. They did not close their homes at night, did not pick up lost items on the road, and no crime occurred in the city.
However, in fact, the reason why this city can be so peaceful is because there is an innocent person who is tortured all the time in a cellar that no one cares about. The suffering of the innocent person pleases the ghosts and gods, allowing the ghosts and gods to protect this city in the dark. City.
Is this normal? In other words, 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.
As for the residents on the ground, because they have no understanding of the situation, they have no moral burden.
If someone unfortunately learns this information, he has two options. One is to remain silent and continue to maintain the status quo.
The other is to let the victim go. Then the ghosts and gods will no longer protect the city, and the city will fall into the same floods, droughts and locust plagues as other places, and the paradise will be destroyed.
If this person is a moral model and firmly believes that one person cannot be killed to save ten thousand people, and chooses the latter option, and believes that a city can be rebuilt by relying on people's own will, morality and strength,
Then things get very interesting - everyone knows that the more people there are, the more corners there are for hiding evil and evil.
The elderly who are hungry, cold and have no one to support them;
Children who are helpless and forced to wander;
Poor, sick, and bullied laborers;
...
You see, the city itself can eat people. For these people, they have no rights or abilities to change their environment.
The situation is no different from that of the innocent victims tortured in the cellar,
It just gives an illusory illusion of 'having personal freedom'. "
Li Ang spread his hands and said: "There are no absolutely strict and fair moral standards in the world.
When the two options correspond to different moralities and there is no more right to choose, the choice itself is immoral.
Ordinary people have limited abilities and fall into moral dilemmas due to lack of abilities. The only thing they can do is to do good deeds without worrying about their future. "
"Well..."
Scholar Yu thought for a while, but the expression on 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 saying is that ordinary people have limited abilities, so they fall into moral dilemmas due to lack of abilities.
But I am different, I am not human. "
"What?"
Yu Yong and others said in unison.
"I'm not human."
Li Ang said calmly: "My mentor, Xiangx, nicknamed Red Hair, once said to me that the best way to eliminate fear is to face fear, and the best way to eliminate pain is to face pain.
In order to be able to practice special exercises,
He first asked me to torture myself in minor ways, such as putting fine gravel on the soles of my shoes and running all day long.
Then the training methods gradually escalated, from inserting 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 was transformed into an inhuman being. "
As if to prove his words, Li Ang picked up a piece of gravel from the ground and hit it on his forehead with a crisp sound.
"Look, it's okay."
Li Ang calmly picked up rocks one by one and performed the stunt of crushing rocks on others' heads.
"Well..."
Everyone was speechless for a moment, 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 targets the soul?"
"That's even better."
Li Ang smiled slightly, "The special thing about that technique is that it can not only isolate pain, but also transform pain into happiness.
To you, the bronze cave is a tomb for burying living people, but to me, it is just a happy house. "
The expressions of the rest of the people were particularly exciting, but Li Ang seemed to be fine and said to himself: "Chu Haoman's plan is just for him and Wang Linian to lie down in the bronze nugget and kill their resentment in reincarnation.
But mortals eventually have their limits. No matter how strong your willpower is, you will not be able to survive for long in the face of the deep resentment inherited from the Shang Dynasty.
If you carry it forcefully, you may become sluggish and lose consciousness completely.
The worst-case scenario is that you two can't control your emotions, or develop resentment, and directly detonate the bronze gun in advance - the probability of this possibility is not low.
I'm different. Whether it's ignoring pain or turning pain into pleasure, I can sustain myself for a long time.
So, let me try it this time. "
"..."
Chu Haoman was stunned, and it took him more than ten seconds to react. He looked at Wang Linian and said, "Okay, okay..."
"That's it."
Li Ang nodded with satisfaction, strode forward, and said casually: "By the way, you'd better stand farther away later. In addition, if we can get out, my reward will be quadrupled - in addition to rescuing you." Go, the Taiyuan Wang family should give me another reward for saving Taiyuan County."
Chu Haoman didn't know whether to laugh or cry, while Wang Linian narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "If you can save Taiyuan County, let alone four times, ten times the reward is completely acceptable."
"Okay, just ten times. I will let someone inform you of the delivery method at that time."
Li Ang nodded, looked at Wang Linian and said: "In the end, one code equals one code. Wang's reward is one thing, but you stabbing Liao Kaifeng and Yan Yan in the back is another thing.
I am a hired monk with a work ethic. "
Wang Linian nodded and said: "Okay. If I can get 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 also personally release the news in the ghost market that I killed them. . If their friends and relatives want to seek revenge, just come."
"Um."
Li Ang nodded noncommittally, walked past the two of them, passed through the stone door, and reached the end of the tunnel.
The three curved legs of the bronze robe pass through the thick rock formations and hang down from the tunnel dome.
Below it is a hill-like pile of blackened human bones.
Click, click, click.
Li Ang climbed up the stairs along the bone mountain and climbed to the top. He saw a door that opened from the outside at the bottom of the bronze temple.
As soon as he opened the door, thousands of ghostly cries and wolf howls that were not like human voices sounded in the cave, billowing thick fog spewed out, and the bone mountain below also ignited with faint ghost fires.
"Tsk."
Li Ang shook his head, jumped into the cave, and closed the bronze door heavily.
Boom!
With a loud noise, silence returned to the place.
Sitting in front of Li Ang was a thin, charred, withered body covered in oil.
Zhuolu.
Li Ang took a deep breath. Zhuo Lu's body died three hundred years ago, but the remaining part of her is still trapped here, neither alive nor dead, suffering eternal torture.
"It's all over."
Li Ang reached out his hand and gently covered the other person's eyes, "Go to sleep."
Gradually, some small sounds sounded in my ears.
Chop with knife, chop with axe, burn with fire, drown in water...
The wails of countless people on the verge of death came from all directions, and the resentment turned into a substantial black mist, slowly settling, covering it like a cloth.
Suffocation, pain, despair.
If an ordinary person stayed here, he would probably have a nervous breakdown in less than a quarter of an hour.
Li Ang sat with his legs crossed, feeling the changes in the surrounding environment, his expression still calm and calm.
Click click click.
His body expanded slowly but quickly, and the bamboo hat and coir raincoat he originally wore were all stretched and torn by the silk.
Transformed from a human body into a large ball of messy threads.
Zheng!
Hundreds of strands of silk thread shot out quickly and were nailed to the inner wall of the bronze nugget.
The next moment, all the surfaces of the ink threads were ignited with cyan flames.
The moment the green flame came into contact with the black mist of resentment, it exploded violently like an open flame meeting oil, with hundreds or thousands of times of efficiency.
boom! ! !
The entire bronze body burned with green flames.
The Qishui Lake above the lake boiled violently, and countless black fish were swept by the green flames in the water. They retreated from the entity to the mist state, and were annihilated and dissipated.
The tunnel trembles, the earth shakes,
Yu Yong and others watched all this happening at a loss. Only Ji Xingwang's eyes suddenly shrank, and he recognized the essence of Qingyan, "Karma fire! He is using karma fire to ignite the resentment in the bronze sword."
"What?!"
Chu Haoman reacted instantly, "No, it won't work. This will only cause resentment to burst out at once. We have to stop him!"
"That's too late."
Ji Xingwang waved his palm, creating a repulsive force, and forcefully pulled back Chu Haoman, who was about to rush to 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 Luffy deceived them or not. Ji Xingwang and others ran away along the road they came from. The villagers of Qishui Village they saw along the way could no longer maintain their bodies and disappeared one after another——
They originally relied on the Bronze Nugget to exist. Now that the Bronze Nugget was ignited by the fire of karma, they would naturally collapse.
Boom boom boom boom!
At this moment, the bronze sword erupted like a volcano with fierce flames, and all the sins accumulated over thousands of years were burned to ashes in the karmic fire.
The Qishui Lake was evaporated, and the rock formations on the lakeshore were melted by the high temperature, flowing freely like magma.
Wang Linian and others hurriedly escaped underground.
Chu Haoman, who was held in Ji Xingwang's hand, looked back reluctantly and saw a blue pillar of fire rising from the mountains in the distance.
The floating clouds in the sky were also swept up and rolled by the pillar of fire, turning into increasingly thick fire tornadoes, twisting wantonly in the sky, and raining fire on the mountains.
"No..."
Chu Haoman groaned in pain, and his immeasurable resentment was ignited by the fire of karma. The aftermath was enough to burn the area of Qishui Ao for fifty miles, turning it into a pale earth, which could no longer grow any crops or inhabit any living creatures.
It can even affect a hundred miles in radius - the entire Bingzhou City and nearby towns and villages may not be able to be saved.
More importantly, so much resentment is spread throughout Hedong Road. After a few years, there is no telling how many new mutations will occur and how much damage will be caused.
"Wait...that's it?"
Wang Linian's voice brought Chu Haoman back to consciousness. He looked intently and saw the towering fire tornado behind the mountains, which was gradually settling and falling slowly.
————
In the bronze nugget, there are countless ink threads that have completely lost their human form, while igniting the fire of karma,
While probing the silk thread out of the penis, a huge drill bit was formed at the bottom of the bronze penis. With the last use of the Mountain Rat Claw, he drilled downwards rapidly.
Try to take the Bronze Zombie deep underground away from humans before it explodes completely.
Above is the blazing fire tornado, below is the crazy spinning ink drill bit, and in the middle is the bronze nugget with cracks constantly appearing on the surface and about to collapse at any time.
The safety of the entire Taiyuan County depends on the speed of life and death.
"Oh, it's obviously a first-level mutation, but the monks in the Zhuxiao Realm didn't take action, leaving me, a little monk, to resist the thunder."
Mosi made an indistinct sound, resolutely contracted and tightened, and turned the bronze penis upside down into the deep rock formation.
