seventy-two sacrifice
"What the hell is going on?" Xiaoling floated next to Ling Xi nervously and asked the old man.
The old man put him smoothly on the blanket and shook his head, "What's in his heart, like a bug."
"Word..." Xiaoling suddenly remembered the heart-eating worm that Lingnan had fed Ling Xi before entering the gate. He was too hasty before and didn't care about remembering this.
"Cough cough!" Ling Xi suddenly coughed violently, leaned over and started to startle, spitting out a black bug from his mouth. The bug squirmed on the ground a few times before dying, and quickly turned into an ice sculpture in the warm room.
Ling Xi pressed the heart, which was still a little painful, and he was afraid for a while. He was able to spit out the insects, thanks to the independent reaction brought by the Nirvana War, which turned the insects back into the throat and spit out.
Seeing this, Xiaoling felt relieved and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Tears..." Ling Xi frowned. Xiaoling was surprised to find that she could actually cry. But her body was still a soul, and there was no sign of condensing the entity.
No wonder, the old man stayed here for six thousand years before he became a physical entity. How could the little spirit change after a new arrival?
"But you have never eaten the snowflakes here." Ling Xi was puzzled by this doubt.
"But you have eaten it." The old man interrupted Ling Xi and said from him: "You share a body with her. It has been a while since you two have a relationship. Her soul must have established a connection with your body. You can eat snowflakes as well."
Ling Xi remembered that he had indeed eaten ice cubes to replenish his spiritual power, but he didn't feel anything unusual.
"Senior, we don't know what your name is yet." Ling Xi asked: "You have been here for eight thousand years. Are you really not a way to get out?"
"I don't remember my name for a long time, it seems to be called King Min." The old man looked confused, as if he was recalling what happened back then.
"Senior King Min?" Ling Xi saw that he began to be dazed and spoke up to pull his thoughts back.
King Min responded and looked at Ling Xi: "It is impossible for you to go out with her."
"Why?" Ling Xi couldn't help but ask, "Senior, please tell me if you have any solutions."
"I have never seen anyone go out. That's because the Eight Wheel Realm controls the yin surface of the Chaos Realm. As you can see, this ice field is just the residual realm of the Eight Wheel Realm. Its world rules are not complete at all, so there is no concept of time. The purpose of the Eight Wheel Realm swallowing you is very clear. It wants to use you to reshape its world as it is."
"Reshape it as it is?" Xiao Ling thought of something and her face became nervous.
"It's similar to what you think. I vaguely remember that there is a way to get out of the Eight Wheel Realm. It was a friend from the Dead Realm who told me. That way is... to divide two into one." King Min closed his mouth and looked at Xiaoling.
Xiao Ling smiled miserably and deliberately changed the topic and said, "I feel that the Eight Wheel Realm is still devouring me, let's go out."
"What does it mean to divide two into one?" Ling Xi asked when he heard Wang Min's words.
King Min pretended not to hear it, turned his head and focused all his attention on the fire in the house. Ling Xi asked again: "Senior?"
Xiaoling hurriedly blocked Ling Xi, drove him out of the house, looked up and caught the snowflakes and melted into his body, and said to him toughly: "You stand here with me. I will get better with you and eat snowflakes."
Although Ling Xi didn't believe Xiao Ling's argument, she was worried about her body and still gnawed on ice in the snow.
Xiaoling floated quietly behind Ling Xi, hugged him and closed his eyes, feeling his body temperature. Ling Xi didn't notice it, and struggled to chew the cold frozen ice with her teeth and swallowed it into her throat.
King Min opened the window, looked at the two figures under the snow, and sighed indifferently.
Snowflakes filled Ling Xi's black hair and dyed with white frost. Ling Xi barely followed King Min and followed his footprints step by step.
King Min told him that the exit is on the edge of the world, and as long as you get there, you will have a way to escape from the world of the Eight Wheels Realm.
Whether Ling Xi believes it or not, it is better than waiting in place until it is flooded by wind and snow. There is no spiritual energy, no time, and no living person in the fourth true sense. He cannot imagine how King Min supported himself to survive these eight thousand years.
A wandering mummy passed by Ling Xi and continued to walk forward aimlessly. Ling Xi had become accustomed to it along the way and had met these guardians of order in the mirror world.
They turned a blind eye to living creatures like Ling Xi and were only responsible for freezing the soul swallowed by the Eight Wheel Realm back into the ice sculpture.
King Min looked back at the mummies who were leaving and said, "These mummies were originally immortals with extremely high cultivation. After death, their bodies did not corrupt and entered the eight-wheel realm of the Dead Realm to serve as orderers. The world within the eight-wheel realm is equivalent to detaining criminals who committed extremely evil crimes. The criminals cannot reincarnate and can only endure endless tortures in the ice prison here, and the orderers are under the care of them."
Ling Xi suddenly realized that no wonder the deceased realm would be in chaos after leaving the Eight Wheel Realm. The Ice Prison responsible for detaining prisoners was taken away. How could those dead souls not take the opportunity to make trouble? He immediately asked: "Who sets these rules?"
Ling Xi was a little curious. Such complex and orderly rules were unlikely to be naturally generated by heaven and earth, and there must be some will to interfere with it.
King Min shook his head and said slowly: "I don't know either. These things are also told by friends from the Dead Realm. I don't want to know, nor dare to know, as is the kind of existence that can control the entire Dead Realm order."
"You are also afraid of death?" Ling Xi did not think that he said this because he was afraid of death.
"Many times, death is just the beginning. For those gods, life or death, joy or sorrow, it is not important. What matters is the order of the chaos world."
Ling Xi fell into deep thoughts when she heard this. King Min continued to smile and said, "It's not good to think too much. This is something I realized from a stone tablet. It is rumored that the stone tablet was left by the legendary "human" of the queen god who knows the mystery of all things. If you go out in the future and have the opportunity to go to Kunling Realm, you must go and see the stone tablet, which will be of great benefit to your mood."
"Yes, it is rumored that the stone tablet was when the Heaven and Earth Lord had just attained enlightenment ten thousand years ago. For the sake of human descendants, he deliberately let "hum" stay in the Kunling Realm of Enlightenment. It is said that there is the mystery of Heaven and Earth Lord becoming a god on the stele, but no one has understood the mystery in the past ten thousand years." Xiaoling followed suit, proving that what King Min said was true.
King Min narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance and said, "We are almost here."
When Ling Xi looked, he could indeed see the void outside the ice field. The part of the earth separated from the void seemed to be cut by a sharp weapon, leaving a neat cut.
Before the three of them could get close to the edge of the ice field, they stopped their feet with a loud shout.
A mummy emerged from the ground, first on his head, then his whole body gradually rose up. It glanced at the three of them, sneered twice, and said in a divine word: "King Min, what did you want to take them?"
Ling Xi didn't seem very surprised. The mummies I had seen before were all wise, but they had never spoken to them. King Min had been here for eight thousand years, and it was normal for them to know each other.
"I want them out, you don't have to stop me."
"Do you let them go out or let you go out? Haha, you haven't forgotten the promise you made to this world." The mummy said, his eyes stopping on Ling Xi.
Before King Min could speak, Xiaoling asked in confusion: "Can't you just get out by dividing two into one? Why do you say that?"
"Sorry, King Min, I still like you to stay here for a while." The mummy said this to King Min, whose face was blue, and then said to Ling Xi and the others: "He swears loyalty to this world to be to it, but if a new life appears in this world, the Eight Wheel Realm will give him freedom. He wants to use you to let himself leave this prison."
Ling Xi recalled that when Wang Min Chu saw them, he did say things like substitution, but he didn't take it seriously at that time.
Xiao Ling was silent and asked, "Really?"
King Min took a deep breath and explained to Ling Xi and the others: "I did have this idea before. But after talking to you two, I regret it. I want to give you two freedoms. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to travel thousands of miles to take you to the edge of the world."
The mummy gave way and gave Ling Xi two choices: "Believe him or not, it's up to you to decide."
Ling Xi's eyes flashed and he replied, "Senior, I believe your words."
When Min Wang heard this, he laughed out loud: "Good boy, I have my style."
"Don't let my expectations down, at least, I'll send her away." Ling Xi said this sincerely, and Xiaoling didn't speak for a while.
King Min came to the edge of the world and pointed to the side and said, "You two stand up and hold hands."
Ling Xi's face froze. He had never had such an intimate move with other women.
"You boy is not willing?" King Min seemed to have put down some burden and teased happily.
Xiaoling had already reached out to Ling Xi, and Ling Xi had no choice but to hold it. She blushed strangely, but she could not really meet Ling Xi, but her soul was just a symbolic contact.
After King Min silently recited a few spells in his mouth, white light appeared on Ling Xi and the other two.
"Ling Xi..." Xiao Ling suddenly spoke. "I hope you can live a better life there. Tian Ni's martial arts have been suppressed by me. Although your talent is not as strong as before, you will not be swallowed by Tian Ni too long."
What Xiao Ling said made Ling Xi confused. He glanced at the Min Wang who was casting a spell and asked, "What does it mean?"
Xiaoling shook her head: "I'm very satisfied to know you. If you see my brother, say sorry to him for me."
The light became more and more powerful, and a force was instilled into Ling Xi's body along the Xiaoling. He felt a wave of suction bringing himself back to the Chaos Realm. However, Xiaoling's soul became transparent and almost disappeared.
Ling Xi noticed something was wrong and shouted at King Min: "Senior! Why is this happening!"
"Separate two and in one, she voluntarily sacrifices herself to give you enough spiritual power to go out." King Min explained.
Ling Xi wanted to forcefully separate Xiao Ling's hand, but a force made him unable to move.
"Let go!" Ling Xi said to Xiao Ling with red eyes. Xiao Ling shook her head and grabbed it tighter instead.
