Chapter 056 Choice
There have been rumors since ancient times that fox demons asked nobles for titles.
They stood up and said to the nobleman, "Sir, do you think I look like a fox or a fairy?"
If the answer is "like a fox", the fox demon's many years of cultivation will be destroyed, and the fox demon will then transform into an evil spirit, entangle the noble on the spot, and bring disaster to the noble.
If the answer is "like a fairy", then the fox demon will be able to transform into a fairy on the spot.
At first glance, almost everyone would choose to lend a helping hand and allow the fox demon to become an immortal in order to avoid retaliation.
But there is actually a trap hidden in it.
Those monsters that need to ask nobles for titles are often stained with sins.
If the noble person agrees to its becoming an immortal, then its sins will be transferred to the noble person.
The noble person will suffer on behalf of the fox demon.
"Damn it! How can one choose?"
The fried dough sticks made a sharp explosion sound, and he held down the white sugar cake that was about to rush under the fox ghost's body to die.
If the fox ghost is a ghost, then the fox ghost will become a ghost, but he is also linked to about five hundred lives. The entire Qing County and the Jinyiwei sent to Qing County all had their skins stolen by the fox ghost, and then attached to his own body.
Although the fox ghost was prevented from being deified, more than 500 lives were completely sacrificed here, and their deaths were unclear.
A sense of fear suddenly arose in Youzhagui's heart. Those more than 500 lives were not just numbers, nor were they illusions. Although he treated the whole world as a game and did not care about his own life or death, it was only because he knew that he would be reborn after death, but they were different.
They will never open their eyes again.
The weight of more than 500 lives is not light.
But if we say that the fox ghost is a god, and the fox ghost became a god under Wang Yu's reward, let's not talk about whether the so-called "god" is a real god or not, the number of human lives in the hands of the fox ghost is more than a thousand. In the moon worship ceremony alone, 999 lives were lost, not to mention the sins committed by the fox ghost in order to keep the secret.
This kind of sin is not something that one person can bear, and it will instantly burst Wang Yu. At this time, if the fox ghost "becomes a god", no one in this broken place of Qing County can stop it.
By then it won’t be as simple as five hundred lives.
The first to suffer will definitely be the counties near Qing County. They know nothing about it and they are not prepared at all.
"Don't answer him!"
The Jinyiwei shouted loudly against the strong wind, and when he finished speaking, there was no sound in the chaotic scene.
In front of him, Wang Yu was as small as a stone, and the fox ghost as big as a mountain was like a horrible nightmare.
Hua Tuo was like a pool of liquid, obediently held in the hands of the Jinyiwei.
Suddenly, someone touched his shoulder. The Jinyiwei was stunned. He turned his head, and the moment he saw the person, a look of great surprise appeared on his face.
"Master Imperial Master!"
The man opened his lips slightly under his hood and exhaled a breath of cold air.
In the deep black eyes under the hood, blue and green numbers flashed one after another.
"Duanyun, start the analysis mode——"
***
How to describe that monster made up of human limbs?
Wang Yu opened his mouth.
A drop of cold sweat ran down the contour of his cheek.
Those people were twisted into strange postures, with their hands and feet linked together, their limbs folded, and their heads raised high, as if they were chasing the light.
Their twisting bodies piled up and formed the shape of a giant fox under the huge moon.
The person at the very center, looking down, arrogant, provocative, full of malice, scrutinizing all his actions from a high position.
Wang Yu gritted his teeth.
When the Jingchun sword was drawn, his hand trembled slightly for the first time.
No flaws.
The swordsman didn't find any flaws.
With just one flaw, he could cut out the fox scholar at the top.
But no.
But at that moment, he couldn't think of any other way. How could he avoid hurting others?
I wanted to kill the rat beside the vase, but I was afraid of damaging the jade vase.
Wang Yu's breathing gradually became short.
He saw the face of the Jinyiwei who led the way in Qing County. He had told him with full trust and admiration that everything was left to him.
He saw the face of the Jinyiwei guarding the gate of Qing County. He always stood firmly in front of Qing County, like a gate, standing still.
He saw the face of the child who turned into a turtle in Qing County. There were no scales on her face anymore. He would find it hard to forget the image of her hiding under the bed.
Wang Yu also saw the face of the half-human, half-fox Jinyiwei, and perhaps the face of his grown-up brother.
They unconsciously surrounded the fox scholar like worms.
Their eyes were dull and they looked more like objects than people.
Those items are often displayed on shelves for people to count and pick.
The voice of the condescending fox scholar was like a devilish sound filling one's ears.
"Look at me, do I look like a ghost or a god?"
A strange and ominous premonition is brewing.
At this moment, the huge scale seemed to have turned into reality and appeared in front of Wang Yu.
An extremely strong sense of illusion and unreality made him feel like he was walking on clouds.
But when his eyes slid across those faces one by one, the substantial weight of that life was like a mountain pressing down on him.
He has to make a choice.
Otherwise something worse will definitely happen!
Wang Yu felt as if countless scenes of melting flesh and blood flashed before his eyes. The squirming flesh and blood turned into blood, which seeped into the earth under the shadow of the huge fox, dyeing the ground beneath his feet red.
He felt that he was trapped in a mysterious situation.
Wang Yu was not sure whether he was ill again at this critical moment.
ghost?
The huge balance was tilted, and in the blink of an eye, the lively faces of Qing County turned pale in an instant, maggots built nests on the rotten flesh, the white bones turned gray and black, the tormented souls were wailing in the bodies, two streams of blood and tears flowed from their eyes, and their eyes were full of resentment.
god?
The other end of the scale slowly rose up, accompanied by the terrifying cry of the fox. Wang Yu felt that his body was constantly falling into the abyss. In his last look at the world, there was only thousands of miles of scorched earth and tens of thousands of miles of lifelessness. Everything became silent and nothing.
Countless answers emerged in my mind.
Mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Ghosts are howling.
Countless scenes appeared in his eyes one by one.
The fox continued to grow bigger and bigger.
His chips are still increasing!
What should he answer? Why do people always die because of this?
“——”
A pair of hands rested on his shoulders from behind.
Wang Yu's pupils shrank.
Goose bumps appeared on the back of my neck due to the sudden chill.
Shen Cuo's expression was hidden under his hood.
His voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of disturbing something, and there was even a hint of indifference in it.
"Tell him he looks like a ghost."
Shen Cuo's eyes were fixed on the naked, wriggling creatures beneath the fox's fur.
The scope of the fox ghost's theft is constantly expanding, just like a drop of ink that is constantly polluting the nearby water source.
Shen Cuo approached Wang Yu and said calmly and firmly: "Close your eyes and listen to me. This is the best choice."
"It's okay. I'm here."
Wang Yu was speechless.
"This is all my fault."
His voice was gentle yet powerful.
“——”
“——”
***
There are countless unfortunate things in this world.
There are countless unlucky creatures in this world.
He is an old turtle and thinks he has never done anything harmful, so why is he the only one who is in pain?
Beizhou is being hunted by people, and Nanzhou is being hunted by ghosts.
What kind of ball is he? Being chased by people every day?
The old turtle doesn’t understand, the old turtle is autistic, and the old turtle is depressed.
What's worse is that he suddenly had an idea and hid in a remote county town, thinking, this is all right, right? He also transformed his true form and hid in a fox cave. Now he was hiding in a corner, he couldn't be unlucky again.
Turtle Ghost: “…”
How could a ghost not check if there are other ghosts in the territory when it transforms into a ghost?
The damn fox thief stole various parts of his body while he was sleeping. If he hadn't reacted quickly and grabbed his shell, his tortoise shell would have been stolen as well!
The turtle ghost hadn't gotten over his anger yet when the damn stinky fox started causing trouble again.
The ancient ceremony of asking for titles was actually started. As an old ghost, the old turtle was naturally familiar with this. Long, long ago, when the gods had not yet retreated from the world, asking for titles from nobles was more popular than offering sacrifices to attract the attention of other gods.
By asking for a title from a noble, he transformed from a demon into an immortal.
He had not expected that in today's world, there are still demons and ghosts who would use the method of "asking for a title", because "asking for a title" requires a very important noble person, and this noble person is hard to find, and has many requirements.
But none of this matters to Turtle Ghost now.
The important thing is that when he woke up, he found himself squeezed into the fur of the fox ghost, as if he was about to be used as a sacrifice to "ask for a title".
Damn it! The little kid hasn’t even shed all his fur yet! Is this how you “ask for a title”? Where did the sacrifice come from?
The stinky fox's claws are waving at the old turtle's face!
In his life, he had never suffered such an insult except from the human-skin dragon!
Tortoise vs. Fox!
The advantage is mine!
The turtle ghost's energy sank into his dantian, and the pressure around his body was increasing, as if it was going to squeeze the person inside to death.
The tortoise shell emerged from his body.
"Big! Big! Big! Big!"
The turtle ghost uttered "big" four times in a row, and the hard turtle shell was expanding outwards like the safest fortress.
The negative energy in the fox ghost's body is running wild.
He calmed himself.
He thought that it might be because the scope of the theft was constantly expanding, and because the fox tail was completely broken, its strength decreased, making it difficult to control.
The fox ghost gritted his teeth.
If that group of people hadn't interrupted his ritual and cut off his nine fox tails, he wouldn't have fallen into this situation!
The fox ghost's scarlet eyes just stared at Wang Yu with malice.
He urged again: "Look at me! Do I look like a ghost or a god?"
The swordsman's eyes no longer had the previous calmness, but were now shaking and tumbling like the sea with rolling waves.
A terrifying sense of accomplishment arose in the fox ghost's heart.
He couldn't help but wonder, what would the benefactor's answer be?
As a person who has compassion for all living beings, what is your choice?
Kill him with your own hands? Let those hundreds of humans die with the swordsman's heart, and let the fox ghost die happily!
It is for the sake of those hundreds of people, to lend a helping hand to the fox, and to help the fox become an immortal in this era when immortals and gods have gone far away!
The swordsman opened his lips slightly: "I see you look like..."
The fox ghost's mouth grinned wider and wider, and his excited emotions were reflected in his swinging fox tail!
"Bang--"
The fox ghost suddenly heard a loud explosion.
He was stunned and looked down.
I saw a huge hole in his abdomen, and people were pouring out continuously.
It seemed as if someone was laughing at the fox.
Suddenly, the fox ghost felt a chill on his back.
A flash of extremely dazzling light passed before his eyes.
It was like a falling meteor, smashing towards its destination, and the fox ghost at the destination could only stare blankly at the huge light and shadow falling.
The fox ghost widened his eyes.
He heard something being peeled off.
Under the cold light, the fox ghost could only see a pair of painful eyes.
He failed, and nothing went according to the script.
