Chapter 983 Living the Second Life
Yue Lao’s eyes moved from the heads of the people to the tombs.
Is this the tomb of Lord Luo Zhi?
But what does it mean to place a beast's head in front of a cenotaph?
The head of the beastman seems to have a high level of cultivation, otherwise it would not be able to be stored until now. There is no immortal formation protection around it.
At this moment, a beam of light shot out from the tightly-fitting tomb, targeting the head of the beastman.
The heads of the people with rays of light in their eyes were chopped off by Xing Guang, making a clear sound of gold and iron.
Yue Lao saw the beast's head open its mouth, seemingly roaring silently, but was struck again by Xing Guang.
Then the third time Xingguang was blown away by the bronze jade-like head of the beastman, he slashed towards the outside of this space.
No wonder I met Xing Guang outside. It turned out that his head was blown off by this beast.
Apparently, even though the beastman died, his head still had something special!
But another question arises. With such foreign objects, why didn’t Old Master Hulu come to take them away?
Liu Xun carefully collected the rumors in the Second Outer Path, and finally found no sign that the old Dao had been here.
This is strange.
Yue Lao looked at the heads of the people from the Seventh Way.
However, something unexpected happened. He didn't see the negative impact. Instead, the people's heads seemed to be sensing, and the light in their eyes gathered towards Yue Lao.
Wenliu didn’t warn, so Yue Lao didn’t rush to escape.
Yue Lao's eyes were dazzled by the light. When he saw clearly again, his appearance had changed.
The Cenotaph is gone, the rift space is gone, and it is a wilderness instead.
A huge stone platform is being built in front of it, and its specific shape cannot be seen for the time being.
Yue Lao found that the armor on his body was still there, but his figure had returned to normal human size.
Looking back, I saw that there were people all around, all with smiles on their faces, carrying stones and piling them on the stone platform.
Yue Lao suspected that it was an illusion, but he heard the voice of the deity ringing in his consciousness: "This is not an illusion, I'm afraid it is a strange scene, but it was fixed on the head of the beast. It should be seen The light in its eyes will be attracted in. "
Similar to the ability of the wooden man, there is a strange scene in the head of the beast.
"Zhanqing, where did you get a set of armor?" Some people nearby noticed Yue Lao and gathered around him out of curiosity.
Yue Lao realized that he had become a pigeon, so he spoke as a pigeon: "I picked this up not far away."
A curious pigeon came up and touched the swaying feathers. , a circle of people suddenly surrounded Yue Lao.
"What are you doing if you don't set up the execution platform!" A burly man with a loud voice roared outside the crowd.
Seemingly afraid of the opponent's power, the group of beastmen immediately dispersed.
The burly Zhumin looked at Yue Lao: "Zhanqing, don't play games, go and arrange the execution platform for me. If it's too late, I will pull your teeth!"
This beastman should be a supervisor, but he also lifted rocks and was not as harsh as an ordinary supervisor. The reprimand just now was just a reminder to Yue Lao.
There were people nearby who murmured in a low voice and said to Yue Lao: "Being jealous is not unkind. If the execution platform is not arranged well tomorrow, it will be bad if Immortal Luo Zhi is offended."
< br>"So we have to hurry up."
Hearing the word "Luo Zhi", Yue Lao nodded and took off the armor on his body. After shrinking it, he put it into his waist, and actually placed it in the fairy garden. .
This way it won’t attract too much attention.
After such a busy day, the execution platform was finally set up.
The complete execution platform has three facilities, a hanging knife, a table large enough for people to lie down, and a lamp with beating green flames.
The first two were okay. When he saw the lamp, Yue Lao's expression condensed.
Isn’t that the glass palace lantern I saw before?
The style is slightly different from the one on the top of the sarcophagus, but more similar to the one in the Shark Girl Soul Court.
It's just that the color of the flames is different.
There is nothing ominous about this lamp, it looks much "cleaner".
Yue Lao stood among the people and slowly collected the rumors around him with the help of the second heretic.
There are about four to five hundred people in this ethnic group. The people here are all young and strong, about a hundred, and the rest are in their nests not far away. The houses of the Tibetan people are very peculiar, with two floors above ground and underground.
The one on the ground looks like a bulge, and from a distance it looks like a tomb.
The underground extends in all directions like an ant nest.
It’s really similar to the habits of a corpse demon.
In my eyes, these beastmen are indeed the best materials for corpse demons.
However, there are still many differences between the beastmen and the corpse demons.
One is a dead thing and the other is a living thing. The difference is the biggest.
Listening to the discussions among the people, Immortal Luo Zhi will be here soon, and this execution platform was built under Luo Zhi’s orders.
Not long after, someone came.
But what Yue Lao saw was a young man.
And his demeanor did not look like that of a powerful executioner. Instead, he shrank back, his face full of hesitation, and his eyes showed a look of horror when he fell on the three facilities on the execution platform.
Yue Lao frowned, wondering who this person was.
The prisoners stood under the execution platform and looked up at the young man.
The young man caught in the spotlight is struggling internally.
A scolding sound came from above his head: "Su Mu, don't do it yet!"
The boy who called Su Mu heard the sound and his hands trembled slightly. He knew that he could not delay any longer.
If it drags on, it won't be that simple for the person above him to take action.
Since you have chosen this path, you have no choice but to go on.
Su Mu walked to the hanging knife, gritted his teeth, took the knife off, and cut his own flesh.
Yue Lao saw clearly that the other party was not directly trying to cut off the arm, but was trying to slice the flesh.
With one strike of the knife, some criminal principles floated around Su Mu and fell towards the execution platform at his feet.
First, it was his left arm. Su Mu's brows, which were furrowed in pain, were twisted to the extreme when the bones of his arm were exposed.
It gets even more cruel after that.
“It’s been a long time since I saw the punishment of mutilation.”
“I remember that after Emperor Zhou, very few people used cruel punishments.”
Old ghost’s The voice rang in Yue Lao's ears.
Yue Lao has opened the eyes of the Fourth Heretic to the outside world, and these old ghosts are now commenting on Su Mu's behavior.
But Mr. Pei, who is known as a tough talker, gave a different explanation: "It is not a punishment of mutilation. From the legal perspective, it should be [cutting flesh to return mother]!"
Just now he spoke The old ghost paused and asked doubtfully: "Are you talking about that set of methods that are listed as forbidden laws?"
It is rare for Old Ghost Pei not to ridicule others. His voice was subtle: "Cut the flesh and return it to the mother, and remove the bones and return it to the father. The corresponding ones should be the knife and the table, but I don't know what the last one is."
As a giant in the Demonic Way, he naturally has heard of the famous forbidden laws in the Punishment Way.
But even old ghost Pei couldn't tell the origin of the lamp.
Then, an old ghost from the soul path took over what old ghost Pei said: "It should be [The Lost Soul Returns to the Master]!"
< br>"Skin, flesh and bones are given by parents, but the knowledge in the soul is The teacher taught me that this method should be to reshape the body and soul, retain the memory, and completely create a second body."
"Some people are studying the method of living a second life!"
Yue Lao’s eyes moved slightly, living a second life?
It should be that Luo Zhi.
He wanted Su Mu to test whether it was feasible to cut flesh, remove bones and disperse souls?
Only in this way can we explain why the punishment of "Returning the Soul to the Master" was added in the end.
In Yue Lao's view, the third step is purely superfluous and feels incompatible with the first two.
This is increasing the soul’s foundation!
Maybe the first two steps will lead to a second life.
For the unseen being in the sky, perhaps it is the third step that he values.
On the stage, Su Mu has completed the step of [cutting off flesh to return mother], and his whole body has turned into a skeleton with white bones.
