Chapter 140: Heaven and Earth Are Unkind (Part )
A man in a Taoist robe with a slanting collar spotted a thin little girl in the crowd, and with a flash of his body, he grabbed her and strangled her around the waist, intending to take her away.
But the little girl was not alone. She reacted quickly and tightly grasped a woman: "Mom, mom, save me..."
"Xiao E - who are you? Let my daughter go!" The woman anxiously slapped the man in Taoist robes.
The Taoist saw that he couldn't take the woman away alone, so he simply grabbed the woman and then jumped into the "door" without saying a word.
"Is that really the door to life?"
"I think so."
At this time, the hesitant crowd could no longer hold back.
"You took two people away at once, how should we distribute the rest of us?"
"That's right. We don't have enough people to begin with. Don't we really have to rob now?"
Those who were unwilling to follow Xu Shanshan's rules at first became a little anxious when they saw someone taking the lead. After all, no one wanted to be left here to suffer.
The ignorant people started to make a fuss when they saw the Taoist priest robbing people: "Who are you? Where are you?"
They stared at these strange people with caution, and through their clothing and attire, they knew that these people were different from them.
"We don't know why we came to this damn place, but there is only one condition for leaving, and that is that you have to follow us. If you don't want to die, follow us!"
These people who thought they were very capable naturally did not take the common people seriously. They spoke arrogantly and fiercely, not giving them any room for negotiation.
"We don't even know who you are, so why should we follow you?"
"That's right. If it's you who did it, then wouldn't we be like sheep walking into a tiger's mouth?"
"They just robbed Xiaohua and her son. They are obviously not good people. Don't trust them!"
Damn these fools!
They looked back and saw that the "door" was already one-third closed. If they delayed any further, no one would be able to escape.
It is easy to kill someone, but difficult to save him.
First of all, the other party is a human being, not an object that can be manipulated at will. If you want to take them away smoothly, you will be obstructed. Even if you use tough measures, if you encounter someone who wants to take them away, there will be another round of competition.
Therefore, they no longer tried to persuade these fools, but started to rob people directly. As the saying goes, there are too many monks and too little porridge, so how can they not rob?
They each use their own skills. The powerful ones are afraid of sneak attacks, the sneak attacks are afraid of quick moves, and the quick moves are afraid of being intercepted halfway...
The competition was extremely fierce at one point, and they didn't care about the people being fought over at all during the process. If they accidentally killed someone, they would only feel regretful but not guilty or sad about it.
They do not think that they are extremely evil people. As long as they maintain their original intentions and do not kill for the sake of killing, they will not be considered to have fallen into evil.
The murderer in particular was sucked into the "door" on the spot, and his escape was smooth and easy.
It turns out that saving people can save you.
Killing someone can be a sin, and it can even be simple.
"Mother - Mother - why did you kill my mother? Give my mother back to me!"
A young man in plain clothes helped up an old woman who had died of suffocation. His red eyes were filled with hatred. He rushed forward regardless of anything. The old Taoist priest was about to enter the "door", but was held by the young man's feet.
"Let go!" He kicked him away, but the young man refused to give up. He picked up a stone and planned to avenge his mother.
The old Taoist was once a powerful figure, and had never been offended like this before. Moreover, he was in a very bad mood at the moment, so he directly cast a spell at the young man. The young man was shocked, and fell down with his head raised with blood on his forehead, dying on the spot.
After killing two people in a row, he didn't want to delay any longer and rushed into the "door". If a person is going smoothly, why would he take risks? If a person is going well, why would he fall into evil?
And human beings are born to overcome suffering.
Seeing that those with great skills had saved people and gone, and the cruel ones had killed people, and the number of remaining people was getting smaller and smaller, but these sorcerers still had hundreds of people.
The gate to the den of ghosts was about to close, and these people were becoming more and more anxious. Their impatience blinded them and their hearts turned black. They did not want to freeze to death outside, so they could no longer show mercy.
They stopped taking people away and started killing people.
Indiscriminate killing.
Those who escape will be killed, those who obstruct will be killed, and those who rob will be killed.
Human selfishness is fully displayed at this moment.
Xu Shanshan was standing by the "door", but no one could see her.
"Nangong Yu, look, once you tear off that layer of hypocrisy, take a look at these people again, are they human or ghost?"
Nangong Yu closed his eyes, but was not misled by Xu Shanshan's words: "They were also forced to do so. How could they choose between their own life and the lives of others? You didn't give them any room for choice at all."
"You're right." She didn't refute it. She said, "Then I won't interfere this time. Just wait and see what these people will choose."
"Why are you doing this...?"
With a wave of Xu Shanshan's hand, the "people" who fell dead on the ground turned into a wisp of green smoke and returned to the yellow sand. It was obvious that these were not real people, but illusions created by the yellow sand.
She looked into his eyes. Perhaps she had too many secrets hidden in her heart that she had no one to tell. Nangong Yu felt that those secrets were as deep as an abyss. He couldn't even understand her most superficial emotions.
"Do you think this world needs these powerful forces that are superior to ordinary people?"
He was startled when he heard this.
"Do you think keeping these people here will bring harm or protection to one side?"
Nangong Yu didn't know, but he thought of someone: "But the great master of Jing State, she saved many people and protected Jing State for a long time..."
Xu Shanshan smiled and said, "Really? Isn't it because of her that the emperors of Jing Kingdom have become incompetent?"
Nangong Yu was speechless for a moment.
How could she... discuss the unrivaled Grand Master and the almighty Emperor Yue in such a casual tone?
-
There should have been a hundred sorcerers who entered the "gate", but less than a hundred did. It is unknown whether the remaining people died or stayed in the fantastic Gobi desert of yellow sand and blue snow.
But when the people who passed through the "door" turned around, they saw that the "people" they saved turned into smoke and disappeared without a trace.
They were stunned and probably only realized at this moment that these tools arranged by Xu Shanshan were not human at all and she had been playing tricks on them from the beginning to the end.
But fortunately, she did not lie to them. After passing through the "door", they returned to the outside of Li Mansion. Looking at the familiar and normal environment, they could not hide their excitement on their faces.
“It’s out, it’s really out!”
"It's really the gate of life!"
After escaping the disaster, they did not give up the mission. Some even overestimated their own abilities and said, "How dare this Xu Shanshan play tricks on us like this? When we find her, we will make sure she dies miserably!"
At the moment, they were filled with anger for revenge, so they did not notice that the black fog that had previously blinded their eyes and ears did not disappear, but instead formed a larger and farther "barrier", surrounding the entire Heqi City.
