Chapter 183 Conviction
Yellow sand everywhere.
Above my head, there was no cloud in the blue sky, and a scorching sun hangs high above my head, like magma sunlight pouring down, and the endless desert seemed to be burning.
Wu Tie looked up at the sky, staring at the scorching sun with wide eyes.
The fire flashed in his pupils, and even looking directly at the sun, it only made the corners of his eyes slightly sour.
He looked at the blue sky greedily and at the scorching sun on the blue sky. After a long time, he stared at the sun for an hour, then he lowered his head and looked around.
"Lao Tie is right... the sky, the sunshine... is the most beautiful scenery in the world." Wu Tie smiled brilliantly: "So, is what I see now an illusion, or is it the mustard seed world that the legendary powerful forces opened up?"
There is yellow sand everywhere, and countless sand dunes are softly undulating, just like waves extending towards the end of the world.
Wu Tie bent down and grabbed a handful of sand, and pinched it hard.
‘Bang’!
Countless sand was shattered like powder, flowing down his fingers, and was blown by the wind and flew without a trace.
As the wind blew, layers of gravel on the ground flew up, turning into a swirl of quicksand visible to the naked eye and flew into the distance. When the wind and sand hit the body, the skin felt a tingling pain, and it was very real in both the feel of the hand and the touch of the skin.
Wu Tie could not distinguish the truth and hypocrisy of this world. He looked around for a while, then casually chose a direction to walk.
With the scorching sun, the sun above your head will never set.
Wu Tie walked in the desert for a long time, for a long time, and it took about a day and a night to walk, and the scorching sun was still hanging above his head. Wu Tie was sweating all over his body, and he had already taken several jars of clear water from his bracelet and poured it down.
After walking forward step by step for a long time, Wu Tie heard a subtle sound in the sand dunes.
A gray-yellow desert viper suddenly rushed out of the sand, opened her mouth and bit Wu Tie's calf.
Wu Tie's fingers bounced out, and a strong wind blew out, smashing the big guy, who was seven or eight feet long, and his flesh spurted out seven or eight feet away. There were immediately more subtle sounds from the dunes, and a large pile of desert scorpions rushed out.
The scorpions with a light black shell ran lightly on the quicksand. They pounced on the flesh and blood of the desert viper, waving their big pliers to feast on them. Not much time, the desert viper disappeared without a trace.
Wu Tie watched the scene of the desert scorpion eating for a while, and then continued to walk forward.
He has never passed by the desert, but according to Lao Tie's combat experience, there are poisonous snakes and scorpions here, which proves that there must be water sources nearby.
So, after climbing over a row of sand dunes that were nearly 100 meters high, Wu Tie's eyes lit up. He saw a lake with a diameter of several miles seven or eight miles ahead. Beside the blue lake, there were palm trees, sand jujube trees, and large patches of grass.
This is an oasis in the desert.
The water is rippling, and white water birds are playing on the water surface. Occasionally, water birds flap their wings and pass by the lake surface. The water birds project their floating figures on the lake surface, like a pair of birds flying together, lightly passing through the lake surface, bringing a ripple.
Having tired of the endless yellow sand, Wu Tie suddenly saw this good water, and subconsciously laughed.
The light of the eyes was faint, and the scene in the oasis became extremely clear, and even the veins on every thin green grass by the lake were clearly visible.
Wu Tie saw that on the grass beside the lake, a large camel team had set up camp. More than thirty white pointed tents surrounded a huge round tent in the middle, and curtains were raised by the lake. Several white and delicate girls were playing in the water by the lake.
Wu Tie has good eyesight...so, he accidentally saw the bodies of those girls.
His face turned slightly red, and Wu Tie hurriedly turned his eyes.
Just behind the camp, where a large pile of camels gathered, a wisp of yellow sand on the dunes rushed up, and a low sound of hooves sounded, followed by a sharp whistle coming with the wind.
The brigade was wearing black robes and holding scimitars. The fierce men with murderous intent were riding on fast horses and camels, suddenly rushed out of the row of sand dunes. They let out sharp laughs and dived down the steep sand slope. In just a few breaths, they rushed into the camp.
In the camp tent, the brigade of guards wearing robes rushed out. They held scimitars, spears, and others carried bows and arrows, and quickly formed a simple line of defense with camels.
The men who were rushing on their mounts made sharp roars, and some of them pulled their bows and arrows. The sparse but precise and ruthless arrows broke through the air and hit several guards in the camp.
Blood was sprayed on the sand, and the guards fought with these attackers.
But these attackers were obviously much stronger than those guards. After just one charge, most of the guards in the camp fell down.
The attackers divided half of their hands and rushed into the camp. The scimitar cleaves the tent, and many men and women escaped from the tent with screams.
The scimitar cuts the air and slashes on these people.
The man was killed by a scimitar, while the women were hit hard by the back of the knife and staggered on the grass.
The attackers had excellent riding skills. They bent down with a smile, grabbed the women who had fallen on the ground and placed them horizontally on the back of the mount.
Wu Tie was stunned. He suddenly flew up in the air and rushed towards the oasis with a strong wind. The wind was gushing and the yellow sand was rolling. Wu Tie's charge was several times stronger than this team of attackers with hundreds of people.
In the oasis, several attackers had rushed to the edge of the lake. They used their swords to split the curtain. Several pretty girls who were bathing made a scream of horror and curled up and hid in the water.
The attackers smiled wildly. They shouted loudly in words that Wu Tie couldn't understand, jumped off their mounts and rushed into the lake, grabbed several girls with no inch, and touched their white bodies with dark palms.
A fire suddenly caught in the camp.
An attacker overturned the bonfire outside the tent, and the burning firewood ignited the tent, and the flames quickly spread around.
The tragic howling of men on the verge of death, the terrifying screams of women, and the 'cracking' sound of scimitar slashing into the bones, and the rampant attackers and crazy laughter... The oasis, which was originally peaceful and quiet, suddenly turned into a bloody hell.
Wu Tie rolled up a large piece of yellow sand and rushed over.
The attackers also noticed the large ball of yellow sand rolling and approaching quickly. They screamed in panic, not caring about the spoils in their hands, and they all turned over their mounts and quickly gathered together.
Wu Tie walked on a yellow salon that was dozens of meters high and more than ten meters in diameter to the edge of the oasis. He floated high in the sky, overlooking everyone in the camp from a high place.
The people in the camp originally trembled and knelt on the ground, bowing to Wu Tie hysterically, and shouting that they didn't know what to say.
The attackers were also panicked. They looked at Wu Tie tremblingly. After a while, they jumped off their mounts, knelt on the ground in awe, kowtowed to Wu Tie and worshiped him, and they were also rude and didn't know what to say.
"I don't understand..." Wu Tie looked at these people awkwardly.
I couldn't understand...but looking at the messy scene in the camp, Wu Tie flipped his right hand, and the air around him rolled rapidly, quickly condensed into a blue palm with a radius of hundreds of meters.
‘Bang’!
The huge palm fell heavily into the attackers' team.
All the attackers were slapped by this palm, and their flesh and blood were scattered all over the ground. The mounts, the horses and camels around them were not injured at all, but they were obviously scared by Wu Tie's attack and almost collapsed. They all lay on the ground with weak limbs and could not move.
"These mounts are your compensation..." Wu Tie looked at the people in the camp who were also stunned, shook his head, turned around and drove away in the wind and sand.
Wu Tie was too lazy to waste time on them because he was unable to speak.
He had killed these brutal attackers and left their mounts as compensation. Although some people were lost in the camp, they would feel a little more comfortable with these mounts...
Wu Tie had just driven the strong wind and flew back dozens of meters, and the light around suddenly dimmed.
The desert disappeared, the blue sky and the scorching sun disappeared, and the oasis and those people disappeared.
Wu Tie's body gently landed on the ground. He was in a dark and deep corridor. The corridor that was nearly a hundred meters wide was nearly a thousand meters high. Behind him was a dark rock wall. Only the corridor in front was extremely long and there was no end at a glance.
The corridor looks extremely narrow and long, giving people extremely heavy psychological pressure.
On the walls on both sides of the corridor, a statue stands at every distance.
The human body, and the heads are jackal heads, wolf heads, dog heads, eagle heads... or other birds and beasts. Each statue is hundreds of meters high. They stand on a high pedestal and look down at the corridor.
These huge statues were all black, but they were wearing armor made of gold. The armor usually covered their upper body, and they were wearing war skirts made of gold on their waists and boots made of gold under their feet. In addition, the large body was exposed.
These gold armors are also inlaid with large pieces of emeralds, rubies, sapphires, colorful and extremely gorgeous.
From the dome of the corridor, strange black light shone down.
These transparent black lights are extremely magical. Under the illumination of these black lights, these statues have an extra erratic, sacred, and invisible mysterious aura out of thin air, which makes people feel extremely depressed.
A sound came from the front.
Wu Tie walked forward along the corridor.
The big scorpion Dessa said that this was the path to the dead. Wu Tie didn’t know how many mysterious things there were here. Since he came, he would be at peace. Since there was a corridor, then go ahead along the corridor.
Wu Tie suddenly understood what Lao Tie once said, "When you can't resist life, lie down, close your eyes, and enjoy it."
Walking in the corridor, walking forward for a long distance, just when Wu Tie thought he would never end, the corridor ahead suddenly disappeared.
A dark gate stood in front of Wu Tie.
Outside the gate, a man in a black robe with an eagle-headed and human body stood there quietly.
Wu Tie looked at this guy carefully. Yes, although he was an eagle head, he had an Adam's apple and had a flat breast. This guy was a man.
"Finally, is anyone here?" the eagle-headed man muttered in a low voice: "You chose to kill those sand bandits. Why?"
Wu Tie was silent for a while, and he said, "They want to insult those girls. These things are wrong."
The eagle-headed man smiled: "But in the desert, only the strong are qualified to survive... You killed them because they killed the weak, but have you ever considered what will happen to the tribesmen behind them, the elderly, weak women and children after you kill these sand bandits?"
Wu Tieyi grinned and sneered: "Don't use such small tricks in words. If they do something wrong, they should die."
"Maybe, in your opinion, their behavior is natural and the strong are prey on the weak... But I think they are wrong, so I killed them, according to your theory, that's right."
"Because they are weaker than me, they are not qualified to live in front of me."
Wu Tie looked at the eagle-headed man sarcastically: "Are you satisfied with this explanation?"
The eagle-headed man was stunned and then nodded vigorously: "It makes sense. I have nothing to say... Well, okay, let's go directly to the formal process."
A whole body is made of gold, but black gems are inlaid in many places, and the mysterious and gorgeous balance appears in front of Wu Tie.
The eagle-headed man smiled and said, "Then, through my test, you can enter the next journey... Let me weigh your crime..."
"Weigh my sin?" Wu Tie laughed: "What qualifications do you have to weigh my sin?"
The eagle-headed man was silent for a while, and he smiled: "Because, I am better than you... a perfect answer, isn't it? If you can't beat me, you must obey my rules and the laws set by the great Lord Osiris..."
Wu Tie was stunned and sighed.
It was indeed an absolutely perfect answer, and he could not find any rebuttal words.
On the balance, a black light shone. Wu Tie's body shook and he flew to one end of the balance.
The eagle-headed man said calmly: "If the sinner is punished here. If you can survive, you can live. If you can't survive, you will die here... Well, let me see, how much punishment do you have to accept? Let me see, your sin."
Weights made of strangely shaped black gems flew out of the hand of the eagle-headed man and gently landed on the other end of the scale.
"You have killed anyone."
"You've gambled."
"You...well, are there only a little bit of this? There is no alcoholism, no lust, no incest... there is no such sin?"
The eagle-headed man frowned and stared blankly at the two small weights on the scale.
And these two weights had already pressed the balance down, causing Wu Tie to lift it up high on that end.
Chapter completed!
