Chapter 1095 A multiple-choice question
"It's Xu Nian!"
When I saw the extra person on the chariot, I was immediately shocked.
In fact, the scene in front of me was too visually shocking.
I saw that the original terracotta warriors on the chariot were in different postures. Some were pulling the reins and driving the carriage, and some were holding long swords and slashing. As for the deputy general, he was holding a sword and making a charging posture.
However, Xu Nian was different from everyone else. He was tied to the deputy general's back. His arms and legs were spread wide apart, showing a big word, oh no, it should be the word Tai.
On his limbs, there was a dagger stabbed, and the blood was flowing down his limbs. The deputy general's entire back was dyed blood red, and the blood was still flowing down his back. His legs were also infected for the most part. I believe it won't be long before the deputy general will be infected blood red. I frowned slightly after
seeing this scene.
Xu Nian's posture was too weird. He was like a puppet, imprisoned on the back of the terracotta warrior. Is there any special purpose for this?
Or did the person who abducted Xu Nian want to use Xu Nian's blood to wake up the deputy general?
After seeing Xu Nian, although I was extremely anxious, I did not rush in recklessly. Instead, I squinted my eyes and began to look carefully.
I was looking for the figure of the person who kidnapped Xu Nian.
However, I looked for a long time and could not figure out what was going on.
In fact, there are too many terracotta warriors in the underground palace. Looking around, they are densely packed and simply countless.
There are so many terracotta warriors, each of which is portrayed vividly. It can even be said that each terracotta warrior here is a real person.
So many people stood there silently. Once there was a person hidden in this huge array of terracotta warriors, then trying to find him would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"Xiao Qi, can you feel...the aura other than the terracotta warriors?" I lowered my voice and asked Xiao Qi.
After meeting Xu Zhengchun, Xiao Qi had been following me in an invisible manner, acting extremely quiet. Even after entering the ancient tomb, Xiao Qi just sat on my shoulder, staring around with a pair of big eyes, with a curious look on his face.
At this moment, when Xiao Qi heard my question, he shook his head and said, "The aura here is too complicated. In addition to the corpse aura and the evil aura, there is also the death aura... These auras have been accumulated in the ancient tomb for thousands of years, resulting in extremely dense auras, and they are intertwined together, almost covering up all other auras. I can hardly sense anything."
Hearing this, my face became more solemn.
Xiao Qi is extremely sensitive to Qi. The reason why I brought Xiao Qi with me was to serve as an early warning and to look for clues.
What I didn't expect was that Xiao Qi, who was always sensitive to Qi, had a dysfunctional nose at this moment.
"In this case, we can only take it one step at a time."
I took a deep breath, and then my mind moved, and a pair of dark golden double-wields unfolded behind me.
Then, I jumped out of the corridor and dived straight towards Xu Nian below.
I dived down very quickly, and in just a blink of an eye, I landed steadily on the reviewing platform.
However, I did not board the chariot directly, but squinted my eyes and focused almost all my attention on the group of silent terracotta warriors.
"I didn't find anything unusual." Xiao Qi whispered in my ear, "My eyes are dazzled. Why do they all look the same?"
I didn't say anything, but slowly turned around and looked at Xu Nian.
When I got closer, I immediately saw many details of Xu Nian.
I saw that Xu Nian's head was drooping at this time, and the whole person seemed to have fallen into a coma, and on his face, someone had used blood to turn a mysterious rune.
I moved closer and took a closer look, and then I found that I had seen this rune in the corpse cloth sutra written by Liu Bowen, which was used in ancient Tantric sacrifices.
"What does this mean? Could it be that someone wants to sacrifice Xu Nian? But...who is that person sacrificing?" I was shocked.
But then, my heart suddenly skipped a beat, because I had figured out who this sacrifice was for.
If all the sleeping terracotta warriors in this ancient tomb want to revive in advance, they need a lot of blood to nourish their sleeping souls and bodies, and the mysterious runes on Xu Nian's face are used to sacrifice to the deputy general who carried Xu Nian on his back.
"Hey, runes are also engraved on the four daggers on his body." Xiao Qi suddenly pointed at the four daggers and whispered: "And I feel that this terracotta warrior carrying Xu Nian seems to have awakened, but he... seems to be imprisoned by some mysterious power, which makes him unable to move."
"Already awake?" I was stunned, and my right hand subconsciously pressed on the Soul-Slaying Knife.
"I know." At this time, Xiao Qi exclaimed again, and then he pointed at the daggers on Xu Nian's limbs and said, "These four daggers are what imprison this terracotta warrior."
After hearing Xiao Qi's words, I frowned immediately.
Because through Xiao Qi's words, I suddenly came to a conclusion.
Xu Nian's face was painted with a rune of sacrifice, which means that the person who abducted Xu Nian was sacrificing Xu Nian's blood to this terracotta warrior, and the way of sacrifice was to nail Xu Nian to the back of this terracotta warrior with a dagger to bleed him.
If you want to save Xu Nian, you must pull out the dagger, but the dagger is engraved with a rune that suppresses this terracotta warrior, which means that once I pull out the dagger, then this terracotta warrior at the level of a deputy general will completely revive.
If I don't pull out the dagger, the only way to save Xu Nian is to cut off his limbs, but this is obviously unrealistic.
"This is a multiple-choice question for me!"
Now in front of me is a multiple-choice question.
If I save Xu Nian, then I need to pull out the dagger.
Once the dagger is pulled out, the terracotta warrior will wake up. The most important thing is that this is a terracotta warrior of the deputy general level. I estimate that its strength must be at the level of a ten thousand year corpse king.
Although I have been with Mu Yunxi all this time, I am not surprised by the ten thousand year corpse king and even the flying zombie, but that is just an illusion after Mu Yunxi and I have been together for a long time.
You know, those who practice cultivation may never have seen a ten-thousand-year-old corpse king in their entire lives, let alone a flying zombie, which is rare to see once every hundred years or even a thousand years.
Xiao Qi saw me frowning and looking at Xu Nian with a serious face, so he lowered his voice and asked, "What should we do? Should we save him or not?"
