"You can't have your cake and eat it too, greedy people will never end well!"
Tai's eyes were fixed on the crystal ball. When he saw Xu Tong's figure stepping into the cell, he seemed to be responding to Xu Tong's words from a distance.
Everyone wants to have both, but that is something that can only happen but cannot be sought.
Otherwise, why would the ancients often say that it is difficult to have both loyalty and filial piety, and it is difficult to have both affection and justice?
The vast majority of people who want to grab both hands will end up in vain, or even pay for it with their own lives.
I have seen quite a few examples of this.
Maybe after today, we will see another case.
Mr. Tai put a smile on his lips and looked at the girl in front of him: "It's not too late to regret it now!"
Three hundred years is not a short time...
Amei shook her head and silently looked at the picture in the crystal ball in front of her. The outcome was undecided. There was no need for any argument. Silence was the best answer.
Through the crystal ball, Xu Tong had already walked down to the iron door. Compared with the last time, this iron door was now covered with rust.
"Are you sure you want to go down with me?"
Xu Tong looked at Art behind him. When he walked here, Art's face was extremely pale, and even standing there gave people a shaky feeling.
"I'm OK!"
Art lowered his head and put his fingers in the hole, pinching his thigh hard.
Xu Tong thought for a while and patted Art on the shoulder: "I'll give you this. If you can't hold it, just eat it. Maybe it can help you."
What Xu Tong gave Yate was a pill.
【Pilgrims】
After eating it, you will receive special power blessings and the heart of a pilgrim.
Pilgrim's Heart: It can infinitely enhance the bright side of the heart, making it glow with the power of faith. The stronger your faith, the greater the increase you will gain.
This elixir was refined by Tommy's soul. Xu Tong didn't know what the effect would be, but what was certain was that it would have absolutely no effect if taken by itself.
He has no faith at all in gods, so he eats in vain.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to give it to Art.
This was also the reason why he wanted to bring Yate here, but as for what kind of effects Yate would have after eating it, Xu Tong was not sure.
Art didn't know what this thing was, but he felt a strong burning sensation when he held it in his hand, as if he heard the call of some voice.
"good!"
Art put the elixir in his pocket, feeling that he could hold on and wouldn't need the elixir for the time being.
"Buzz!!"
The iron door was slowly opened.
"Are you sure you want to go down?"
Amerta's voice came, reminding Xu Tong again: "The contract Lilith left behind is that she can only appear when you are on the verge of death. That will take time. If the guy below swallows you directly After all, even Lilith has no ability to resurrect your soul!"
"It's like she's here and something good will happen to me!"
Xu Tong rolled his eyes, ignored Amerta's suggestion, and pushed open the iron door in front of him.
Xu Tongke never dared to expect Lilith to come over. Even among the people he least expected to see, Lilith definitely ranked first. Although he couldn't help but vomit when he thought of her, remembering the last time That dry-fried beef river.
Although it is incomparably delicious, if you are using it to make ingredients for yourself, forget it.
So from the beginning, I never thought about it and regarded this matter as a so-called fallback path.
On the bluestone steps, the footsteps of two people continued to echo in the panic dungeon.
Before, this place was a forbidden area where strangers were not allowed to enter, but now, it was even worse. There was a dead silence all around, and at a glance, there was only darkness that could not be seen.
No one could see clearly what was in front of me. The feeling of being unknown every time I stepped down was like dancing on the Taishan cableway, which was frightening.
At this time, a bright light suddenly hung above the heads of Xu Tong and Yate.
It was Xu Tong who activated the active skill of [Xuanhua Orb], the Xuanhua Spiritual Heart Lamp.
Xuanhua Spiritual Heart Lamp:
It consumes 20 script points. After activation, it summons a bright lamp. The area covered by the light can reduce the damage caused by evil attributes.
The soul lamp hung in mid-air, dispersing the surrounding black fog. It was also through the protection of this hanging lamp that Art, who was following behind him, had a chance to breathe.
But when the two of them continued to walk down, even if they were protected by hanging lights, the oppressive and suffocating darkness came over, as if they were swallowed up tightly.
At this time, they saw a corpse. They didn't know when the corpse was. It had rotted and turned into white bones, but judging from the clothes on it, it should be that of a certain divine hunter.
Rumor has it that there are often gods caught in the dark, walking into the dungeon by themselves, and then jumping into the abyss, never to be heard from again.
No one can tell how many bones there are under this abyss.
"Cough cough cough..."
A dozen meters further down, Art's face gradually turned blue, and he obviously couldn't control it anymore. He felt like there were bugs in the air eating away at his skin. He had nowhere to start, and it was painful and itchy. It drove Art almost crazy.
On the contrary, Xu Tong felt as if he was soaking in a hot spring, as if he was born to belong here without any discomfort.
bright!
At this time, under the stone steps ahead, wisps of candlelight illuminated the way forward.
Art opened his eyes wide, wondering if there was anyone else down there?
Looking through the fog, the flickering candlelight gradually became clear, and a sound of chanting hymns came to my ears.
A monk?
With doubts, Art unconsciously quickened his pace, and gradually he saw clearly that they were several nuns. The nuns were standing on both sides, holding candles in their hands, illuminating the stone steps along the way.
Just when Art wanted to get closer, a hand from behind suddenly pulled him back: "Don't go over, they are not human!"
Of course, what Art could see, Xu Tong could also see. Even under dark vision, he could see more clearly.
When he was in the hospital, he saw these nuns through the window. Damu's death was inseparable from these nuns.
"Look, they have no face!"
Following Xu Tong's words, Art squinted and looked over quietly. Sure enough, under the black nun's hat, the void was pitch black, with no human face.
"Ghost nun!"
The muscles under Art's face kept twitching. The rumored ghost nun could actually be seen here.
The practice of nuns is very hard, and many of them even made mistakes and were forced to become nuns by their families. As a result, many nuns could not bear the loneliness and fell into depravity.
In order to punish them, the church would put iron masks on them. These nuns would often turn into ghost nuns after death, but their faces would also be stripped away by the Lord.
Although they are not demons, they can devour anyone who looks at them.
At that moment, Art immediately averted his eyes, fearing that they would swallow his soul.
At this moment, these ghost nuns were standing neatly in a row, illuminating the remaining steps for them, looking more like they were welcoming their arrival.
"Be careful, they can devour souls, don't look into their eyes!"
Art reminded in a low voice.
Xu Tong raised his eyebrows slightly and felt relieved. No wonder the last time he looked at these ghost nuns in the corridor on the third floor of the hospital, he felt like his soul was touched.
I have the blessing of Mimicha, the bonus of dark physique, and the blessing of prop cards such as the Space-fixing Mirror. I have an absolute advantage in soul power and I am not afraid of these ghost nuns.
At best, their power can only destabilize their own souls. If they want to devour them directly, I'm afraid they don't have the strength yet.
But just in case, Xu Tong thought for a while and pinned the ghost bamboo lantern that Lao Tao made for himself from the prop book to his waist.
Ghost lights up
Spend 100 script points to light the ghost lantern. Once the soul suffers irreversible trauma or is attacked, the damage will be transferred to the ghost lantern.
(Note: After the ghost bamboo lantern is lit, it cannot be included in the prop book. Once it is damaged, it cannot be repaired.)
I saw that the wick was gradually lit up with a faint fluorescent light. Even in such a dark environment, if you don't look carefully, you can't find the faint light shining inside.
The exquisite size looks like some kind of decoration.
Then Xu Tong took another look at the luck above his head. At this moment, his luck was about to hit a low point.
Ever since Evelin kicked herself out of the church, she had suddenly lost her wealth and power, and her entire luck was declining rapidly.
Later, when I approached this abyss, my luck gradually became blurred until it reached its lowest point.
There is even a ray of white light faintly visible, slightly revealing the luck. This is the beginning of the white light. The white light reaches the top, but it ends before it reaches the end.
Often only people who are about to die have such luck.
It can be seen how bad my luck is at this moment.
I took out the lucky perfume I bought at Lei and tried to spray it on myself. Sure enough, my luck really improved a lot.
After making all preparations, Xu Tong glanced at Art and said, "You still have time to leave now. Come in with me later. You may not know what will happen."
Art didn't look good now, and Xu Tong could see that he was still trying to hold on.
The fact that he could hold on to this point without eating the Pilgrim coin he gave him, even if Xu Tong was lighting it up with a hanging lamp, was enough to show the inner tenacity of Art.
But further inside, it is no longer possible to rely solely on the inner breath.
Art looked at the ghost nuns in front of him, hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and decided to follow Xu Tong to the end, after all...he had come.
Seeing Art's insistence, Xu Tong didn't waste any time and just kept walking forward.
Along the way, Art kept his head down, not daring to raise his head, for fear that he would accidentally look into the eyes of these ghost nuns.
Just keeping walking forward with your head down like this makes people feel that this road is very long.
Suddenly, Xu Tong, who was walking in front, stopped abruptly, making Art unable to dodge and almost bumping into him. He quickly steadied his feet. Before asking what was going on, he only heard Xu Tong say: "We're here!!"
