Chapter 585: The people died because of me
As soon as he finished speaking, the sea of blood began to surge, with countless bloody corpses floating in it.
Jiang Ci's face changed drastically. He glanced at the flickering soul lamp on his right shoulder, gritted his teeth, and recited the mantra for salvation on the spot.
As the mantra for salvation was activated, golden talismans flew out of her soul lamp like long silk strips.
Outside the netherworld.
Jiuli Zhenjun saw that the oil lamp was getting weaker and weaker, and it seemed that it was about to go out.
"Not good! Xiaoci is in danger!" Jiuli Zhenjun rushed to Bo Hanzhou's body and shouted: "Xiaoci, come out quickly!"
No response yet.
Murong Jinran said worriedly: "Master, please find a way to save Master Jiang!"
Jiuli Zhenjun said helplessly: "Once my immortal power intervenes, it will hurt the person she is looking for so hard."
"What should I do? It's all over. The oil lamp is out!"
Jiuli Zhenjun gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what, Xiaoci is the most important!"
He quickly pointed two fingers at Bo Hanzhou's forehead, trying to forcibly pull Jiang Ci out.
At the same time, Jiang Ci saw a hand appear in the sky and grab her.
She shouted loudly: "Jiuli Zhenjun, don't worry about me."
Jiuli Zhenjun heard it and asked hurriedly: "Your soul lamp no longer has the power to support you, come out quickly!"
Jiang Ci glanced at the almost dim soul lamp and knew that she only had one minute left.
If she doesn't get out within a minute, she will be trapped here forever.
But……
She looked at the countless corpses surging out of the sea of blood and hardened her heart.
"It was me who abandoned them and cut off their chances of survival. This time, I must help them attain salvation!"
Jiang Ci dodged Jiuli Zhenjun and continued to cast the spell of salvation.
The spell unfolded like a long silk ribbon above the sea of blood.
Her face was pale, and as her soul was consumed, the soul lamp gradually went out.
Jiang Ci could no longer hold on and plunged into the sea of blood.
…
Wait until she wakes up again.
There were three enlarged faces before my eyes.
Bo Hanzhou, Murong Jinran and Jiuli Zhenjun.
The three looked at her nervously.
"Jiang Jiang, how are you?"
Jiang Ci was startled and sat up suddenly: "Why am I back? Wasn't I in the Netherworld?"
Bo Hanzhou said: "At the last moment when your soul lamp went out, it was Xuanyuan Junze who pushed you out... Jiang Jiang, he has left my body."
Jiang Ci's heart ached, "How could it be? Where did he go?"
Bo Hanzhou shook his head.
Jiuli Zhenjun was so angry that he blamed her: "Before you went in, I told you that you must come out before the soul lamp goes out!"
"What are you thinking? You actually burned your soul to cast a spell of salvation. You don't want to live anymore, right?"
"If that guy hadn't still had some humanity and thrown you out at the last moment, you would have been trapped in the Netherworld and couldn't get out!"
"Master, don't be angry. Go and have some cold tea to moisten your throat first!" Murong Jinran quickly asked the man to leave.
Only Jiang Ci and Bo Hanzhou were left.
As soon as Jiang Ci closed his eyes, all he saw were bloody corpses in a sea of blood.
"Are the people of Xuanyuan really trapped in the netherworld and unable to reincarnate?"
Bo Hanzhou nodded: "When the Xuanyuan Kingdom was destroyed, the people were displaced and countless people were killed and injured. Those who died died violently, and the underworld did not accept them at all. They have been wandering ghosts in the world for a long time. It was after Xuanyuan Junze became Ci Xin that he took them in one by one..."
Jiang Ci was stunned.
After she cut off the country's destiny, she died as a result of divine punishment and was imprisoned in hell for many years after her death.
She thought the dead ghosts had been reincarnated.
They never expected that they would be wandering ghosts for so long, and in the end it was Xuanyuan Junze who took their souls.
Jiang Ci was so angry that he slapped himself.
This loud and crisp slap startled Bo Hanzhou, "Jiang Jiang, what are you doing?"
"It's my fault. I thought I could save the future of humanity, but I didn't expect to kill so many people."
"I am not worthy of the name Ci at all."
"My master named me Ci, which means compassion, so that I would not commit the sin of killing."
"It turns out that my master had long anticipated that this day would come for me, but I still betrayed his teachings and became a bloodless butcher."
Bo Hanzhou looked at her, who was distraught and extremely self-blaming, and wanted to comfort her, but he was speechless.
He had no choice but to accompany her quietly.
Jiang Ci was silent for a long time before he asked, "Have they been saved?"
Bo Hanzhou nodded: "You almost used up all your soul power to save them, and they have rested in peace."
"That's good." Jiang Ci paused, "Bo Hanzhou, please go out for a while. I need to go see Hades."
After Bo Hanzhou left, she directly threw out a summoning talisman.
Hades finally arrived when the summoning talisman was about to go out.
"Ah Ci, what's wrong?"
Jiang Ci looked at him steadily and asked, "Why doesn't the underworld accept the ghosts of Xuanyuan people?"
Hades knew that there would be a day when she would come to ask this, and said helplessly: "Aci, you cut off the national destiny and caused the destruction of Xuanyuan. All these people died suddenly. They died suddenly and have deep resentment. They can't go to the underworld at all."
Jiang Ci was shocked: "They are filled with deep resentment... so they don't want to go to the underworld?"
Hades nodded and said, "At that time, I sent many ghost messengers to collect them, but they all returned empty-handed. The ghosts were unwilling to come down, and I could not interfere."
Jiang Ci was silent.
The people of Xuanyuan probably knew that it was she who destroyed the Xuanyuan Kingdom and their homes, so they hated her and refused to go to the underworld.
"There is one more thing..." Jiang Ci said, "You said it was you who gave me Meng Po soup, right?"
There was a flash of guilt in Hades' eyes, but he pretended to be very serious. "Yes, I gave it to you because I saw you were in pain."
Jiang Ci said faintly: "I drank it myself, because I killed Xuanyuan Junze."
Hades was immediately horrified, "How did you remember everything? Did Mengpo soup go bad?!"
"It's just as I guessed." Jiang Ci sighed heavily: "I went to the human world and killed Xuanyuan Junze with my own hands. When I returned to the underworld, I couldn't accept this reality, so I drank Mengpo soup to escape..."
"Aci, this is not your fault." Hades comforted him, "Xuanyuan Junze massacred several dynasties in the Yang world. At that time, the Yang world was full of wronged souls and ghosts crying. When you killed him, the massacre stopped."
"But he became like this because of me." Jiang Ci lowered his eyes, "Ming..."
"Um?"
"I regret it."
"What are you regretting?"
"Back then, I calculated that the human race would wither and die out in the future. For the sake of future generations, I selfishly cut off the destiny of the country to protect the future of the human race." Jiang Ci smiled bitterly, "But what about the people at that time? They were killed by my own hands."
"I pride myself on caring about the people, but the people died because of me."
"Everything I did was a joke."
