Chapter 441 Moral Kidnapping
Jiang Ci said with a smile: "You need it more than I do, take it."
Meng Shian didn't believe it.
Then Jiang Ci opened several pockets on his clothes to show him.
Only then did Meng Shian notice that his pockets were full of talismans. He smiled suddenly and accepted the amulets with peace of mind.
Uncle Luo, who was standing by, had his eyes red from watching this.
"Go out... take me with you... I want to go out too..."
"Master, please... I want to go out too..."
The people in the wooden barrel woke up one after another.
Some of them heard the conversation and rushed to say that they wanted to follow Jiang Ci to leave the Immortal Prison Land.
For this, I shed tears.
Meng Shian frowned, "Master Jiang is going to look for something and an exit in the mountain of corpses. It's hard for her to deal with so many monsters alone, how can she lead you out?"
"Just stay here and spend the rest of your lives. It's a bit boring here, but as long as you don't run around, you'll have no problem living to death."
Someone weakly asked, "Who wants to stay in this horrible place?"
"I won't stay..."
"I won't stay either..."
"Master, when I get out alive and well, I'll give you money... as much as you want!"
"I have money too, I'll give it to you... Please save me..."
"I don't want to be eaten by monsters... I want to live..."
Everyone sought the truth.
Meng Shian looked at Jiang Ci nervously, worried that she would agree to them out of impulse.
The mountain of corpses was far more terrifying than what one saw from the long bridge.
He was worried about her going alone, let alone bringing a group of burdens whose bodies had not yet fully recovered.
Facing the eager pleas from the crowd, Jiang Ci said calmly: "I'm sorry, I can't take you with me."
It was good enough that she could dissolve their black corpse spots, how could she possibly take them with her.
It is dangerous here, but like Meng Shian said, as long as they don't wander around and stay in a safe area, they will have no problem dying peacefully.
"Master, please set the conditions!"
Jiang Ci waved his hand, "No matter how many there are, I can't take any of you with me."
Someone was dissatisfied: "I just heard you want to take Xiao An out, why can't you take us out?"
Jiang Ci's cold eyes fell on the man, "Xiao An is my friend, what are you to me?"
The man stammered, "You can use talismans, so you are either a talisman master or a mystic master. Since you are a cultivator, you should know that if you save us, you will have merits."
"I've already saved you."
"Then be a good person to the end and send the Buddha to the west!"
"Yes, Master, this place is too scary. I really regret coming here. Since you saved us, you should save us to the end."
"You left us here, why bother saving us? You might as well just let us die."
Meng Shian looked at this group of people in astonishment, and suddenly felt regretful about why he asked Master Jiang to save them.
Not only did they not express their gratitude, but they also intensified their moral blackmail against Master Jiang.
What is this?
It would be better to let them lie in the pigsty and wait to die.
"Master Jiang saved you out of kindness, I don't owe you anything!" For the first time, there was a hint of murderous intent in Meng Shian's eyes, "If you keep talking nonsense, I don't mind throwing you back into the pigpen!"
Those people knew that Meng Shian was the guardian and did not dare to offend him. They could only swallow their anger and stare at Jiang Ci with resentment.
Before Jiang Ci left, he asked Meng Shian for some food.
"You live here isolated from the world, where do you get your food from?"
She found that there were quite a few snacks.
Meng Shian said truthfully: "I don't know either. Anyway, there will be airdrop packages falling from the sky at the beginning of the month, which contain all the food and daily necessities, which is enough."
When they came out of the house, they saw Uncle Luo running over and saying, "Oh no! They stole some oil lamps from the utility room and ran away!"
When Meng Shian looked over at the wooden barrel, there was no trace of those people anymore, only a series of messy footsteps remained on the ground.
It seemed that those people had already gone towards the long bridge with oil lamps.
"You are really asking for death!"
Jiang Ci said calmly: "Good words cannot persuade damned ghosts. Forget it, let them do whatever they want."
Meng Shian nodded: "Master Jiang, I will take you to the long bridge."
"good."
"I'll go see you off too!" Uncle Luo volunteered to go.
The three of them came to the long bridge, only to see that most of the oil lamps on the bridge had been destroyed, a lot of corpse oil had been spilled on the bridge, and there were some bloodstains.
It was obvious that when those people were walking across the long bridge, they attracted the attention of the monster under the mountain of corpses, and some people were dragged down.
As for the rest of the people.
Uncle Luo found a rope tied to the bridge pier and said, "They have already gone down."
"Okay, just send it here. I'll go down the rope too." Jiang Ci was agile. He grabbed the rope with one hand and held the oil lamp with the other, and descended directly into the dark abyss.
Meng Shian watched her figure gradually disappear into the darkness, his brows furrowed, looking very worried.
Uncle Luo asked him, "If you really had the chance to go out, would you not go?"
Meng Shian was silent.
"If you don't go, then I will!" Uncle Luo gritted his teeth, "It has not been easy for me to practice till now. Who knows if I can succeed in ascending to heaven in the future? It's good enough if I can keep my current level!"
He grabbed the rope and jumped down.
"I don't care! At worst, I can change my identity after I get out and live a humble life, even being an unknown earthly immortal is fine."
Soon, Uncle Luo's figure was also swallowed by the darkness.
At this moment, a scream suddenly came from under the bridge.
Meng Shian's face changed drastically. Without saying a word, he took an oil lamp, grabbed the rope and jumped down.
The rope was very long and it took him a while to descend before he touched the ground.
When the dim oil lamp was lit up, blood was seen on the rugged ground, and the blood disappeared into the darkness along the white bones and rotten flesh.
"Master Jiang, please don't be in any danger." Meng Shian held the oil lamp in one hand and a long knife in the other, and carefully followed the bloodstain.
It was pitch black all around, with nothing but bones and broken limbs covered in rotten flesh. It seemed as if the monster was lurking in the deeper darkness, waiting for its chance to strike.
Meng Shian's heart was beating like a drum, and there was not much corpse oil left in the oil lamp in his hand.
If a large number of monsters pounced on him at this time, he would not be able to hold on for long and would be torn into pieces and eaten by the monsters.
Dong...Dong...Dong...
It was so quiet here, so quiet that he could even hear his own heartbeat.
Meng Shian accidentally stepped on a leg bone and slipped backwards. When he almost fell, a slender hand grabbed his waist from behind.
He looked at the snow-white hand and shuddered with fear.
He picked up the long knife and chopped back.
A familiar voice came from behind.
"I knew you would come down."
"Master Jiang?"
When Meng Shian turned around, he saw Jiang Ci looking at him with one hand on his waist, a helpless look on his face.
