Wizard Academy - Chapter 146
[Chapter 92 A pile of stone eggs in front of you]
The crowd carried the Buddha’s corpse back along the original road.
There were laughs along the way.
“Who knows that the legendary Buddha was actually found by us.”
“We may shock the world when we go out. After the news is fermented, we will not be able to sell it for a good price?”
“I don’t know if there are any golden corpses of the Buddha. Any special purpose, money can be earned at any time, as long as you dare to take risks, opportunities are everywhere, but if you can become an evolutionary person, such opportunities will become more.” In
chaotic times, opportunities are everywhere, not to mention The power to make people stronger is within reach, making people somewhat crazy.
Profitability will make people crazy and greedy. This is human nature, not to mention that they have seen that many people around them have become like superhumans and extraordinary people. A road, otherwise it will be eliminated by society.
Imagine that you are surrounded by extraordinary people, and you are still an ordinary person. Whether it is work or other, I am afraid that you will not have any competitiveness. The entire era and society will force you to adapt to the current environment.
Of course, there must be those who are unmoved by the ancient ruins that appear around them. After all, there are so many people in the world that it is impossible to generalize, but such people will definitely not appear in this hole.
The corpse was heavy and bent over.
Gasping, and unstoppable joy and desire.
At this time, Jiang Zhu suddenly frowned, because he felt the energy fluctuation in the air suddenly abnormal.
The energy of nature is very regular, unless there are special places, such as some glaciers and volcanoes, there is a situation where the energy will become abnormal, witchcraft…
“Huh?” Someone suddenly said, “Do you have any? What sound did you hear?”
“It was the Buddha singing.”
Jiang Zhu continued to frown.
Ever since they came in, he could vaguely hear Leiyin Buddha singing, and the ancient Bodhi tree, which originated the sound, is still in his sleeve.
“It’s different from the Buddha singing at the beginning. I have been in this ancient country for several days, so I am very familiar with the sound of Buddha singing, but now the sound does not seem to change if you listen carefully, but those who are familiar can clearly understand it. The difference, it is now read upside down.”
The scriptures read upside down?
Jiang Zhu’s eyes narrowed, and he could distinguish it carefully. The Buddha singing in his ears had been integrated into one, and the distinction was not very clear, but if you listened carefully, you would find that in addition to the original thunder and Buddha singing, there was also a subtle sound. What arises in the bottom of my heart is a scripture read upside down.
The sound did not come from the ancient Bodhi tree, so who is reciting the scriptures with such a strange sound?
Just as he was thinking, something seemed to fluctuate in Jiang Zhu’s heart, and the Buddha’s corpse in his eyes became golden, and it was very valuable at first glance.
They are like mountains of wealth that people desperately and greedily want to seize and acquire.
That desire for wealth is magnified little by little, and even…you can do anything for it.
“Hey, what are you doing?” someone suddenly yelled.
Jiang Zhu looked and saw that an explorer stabbed the person next to him with a dagger in his hand, cutting an ugly bloodstain out of the person’s arm.
This man’s eyes were bloodshot, and it seemed that something was about to burst out of his eyes. It was… greed, a maddening desire.
After a while, someone else launched an attack on the person next to him without warning, and there were also people who tore each other together.
In the same way, the greed in the eyes is shocking.
These explorers have prepared some tools and weapons to deal with accidents, so the damage caused by tearing them together is not low.
Obviously I just said that there are so many corpses of those Buddhas, and they can’t all be removed anyway. There is no need to quarrel. Everyone gets along peacefully and each takes what they can, and how much they can take, but now they are for the sake of some that cannot be taken away. Things were torn apart like this, as if the inner demon was released.
That Buddha sound magnified people’s desires and greed. Even if they knew that the resources were enough and they were evenly divided, they still couldn’t help but want to monopolize it, and even started to do something to the people around them irrationally.
But in an instant, the situation in the entire cave became chaotic, like a punishment for insatiable greed.
If no one wakes up from greed, I am afraid that everyone will kill each other and die. Even if someone wakes up, I am afraid that they will not be able to stop others.
Jiang Zhu’s heart also trembled, but fortunately the sound of thunder on his cuff was deafening, keeping him awake.
But after a while, the smell of blood wafted from the cave, and the blood was sprinkled on the golden light of the wall. Who would have thought that such a scene would be staged in the sacred Buddha light.
Buddhists talk about the six desires, and they also make the desires the most clear, playing with the palms of their hands.
Jiang Zhu didn’t dare to neglect, and if he were to be slow for a while, he would probably die.
But waking up a group of people blinded by desire is easier said than done.
Jiang Zhu stretched out his hand, and on the palm of his hand stood the Nightmare who was stomping his feet. An ancient voice came from the mouths of Nightmare’s two little tiger teeth.
Like a whisper in the middle of the night, the movements of those explorers slowed down, and their eyelids became heavy.
In the past, when Jiang Zhu used Nightmare, he had to relax his mind, but now with the improvement of his mental power, it is still effective even if the other side is in a state of excitement.
What’s more, a group of ordinary people who are not even wizards can force them to be in a state of half-dream and half-awake.
The tearing stopped, but the fierce expressions on their faces could still be seen. In their dreams, they were still fighting with people.
It was the bloodiest and most greedy nightmare they had ever had.
Jiang Zhu walked forward, and the people behind followed in a daze, even forgetting the Buddha’s corpse that fell on the ground.
In fact, in their dreams, they should be carrying corpses on their backs.
Jiang Zhu said in his heart that these corpses of Buddhas are the source of their inner greed being controlled. Only by staying away from them can the power of this witchcraft to control people’s minds be minimized.
After walking a distance, the greedy expressions of these people even in their dreams became peaceful.
Sure enough, this witchcraft is caused by people’s greed, and only by giving up them can one be freed from witchcraft.
Manipulates the mind.
After walking for a while, Jiang Zhu saw that everyone’s faces became calm, and he didn’t need to let the nightmare continue to maintain its sorcery. This little guy is not strong enough, and maintaining sorcery for too long is very tired.
Little Nightmare pretended to wipe the sweat from his forehead, then stomped and begged for a candy in Jiang Zhu’s hand, and then he obediently got back into his sleeve.
At this time, a group of people woke up in confusion.
“What’s going on? Why are we here.”
“I felt like I had a nightmare just now. In my dream…”
“Hiss…”
The wound on his body reminded them that what happened just now was not just a nightmare.
They were only half asleep and half awake, not amnesia. They still had some impressions of what happened. That is to say, the witchcraft made them fight when they were awake, and they watched helplessly as they were controlled by greedy desires.
Everyone reacted and gasped in horror.
Now think about how weird their behavior was just now. They knew what they were doing, but they fought with others because of unnecessary greed.
I am afraid that you will have to kill everyone to give up, and then the person who will live to the end may not be yourself.
金钱虽然重要,但也不用用生命去换取,不然再多的金钱又有什么意义,但当时的贪婪似乎已经让他们超过了这样的理想的思考。
不由得看向江渚:“多……多谢。”
可以说,这次要不是刚好和江渚同行,他们就真的要死在这里了。
再看看周围金壁辉煌,佛光照耀的墙壁,心里都有些发凉,这里比表面上看上去诡异得多。
越是平和安详中隐藏的杀机,越让人心底发毛。
当然还有人不断回头向身后的洞穴看去:“就那么将那些佛陀尸骸留在那里,实在太可惜了。”
话虽然这么说,但比起性命,他们自然也知道该如何选择。
刚才被贪婪支配的感觉,估计也只有亲身经历过的他们才知道其中的恐怖,他们不想再经历第二次了,只有远离那些佛陀尸骸,他们才会不被欲望控制。
当然也有人眼睛中精光闪动,不知道在想什么。
每个人贪婪的深度是不相同的。
江渚看在眼里,但危险他们也看到了,不听劝阻的话,他也不可能一直跟在这些人身边。
人为财死鸟为食亡,自古如此,机遇的同时也伴随着危机,需要相应的能匹配机遇和贪婪的实力才行。
江渚想了想,既然一起下的洞穴佛窟,那么也一起出去吧,他现在传送走的话,也不能确保接下来出去的路还有没有危险。
江渚倒是不用担心危险,除非神亲临,江渚没有把握,因为他还不知道活着的神到底能厉害到何种程度,但哪怕是大巫,他手掌上的古神藏,也能第一时间保证将他传送到祸身边。
Jiang Zhu walked out with the people, and many people were somewhat unwilling to see their wealth, but they were helpless.
Jiang Zhu thought as he walked, the Buddhist scriptures he just recited were to prevent these people from taking the Buddha’s body out. Who or what would have such thoughts?
Also, does it just stop people from taking the Buddha’s body? So…what about the ancient Bodhi tree in his sleeve? The importance of this thing should be no less than that of any Buddha’s corpse.
Just thinking about it, Jiang Zhu suddenly felt a condensed gaze looking at him from behind.
“Who?” Jiang Zhu turned his head sharply.
It seemed that a dark shadow flashed past behind him.
I don’t know if it was a person or something else.
A group of people raised their voices: “Don’t…don’t be scary.”
“We’re all here, how could there be other people here.”
Everyone’s eyes couldn’t help looking back, and they always felt that something was following them.
That feeling is so creepy.
They knew that exploring the ruins of an ancient country would definitely be risky, but they didn’t expect to be so terrified when they actually faced it.
“Let’s count the number of people.” Jiang Zhu said, “It may also be that some people are reluctant to bear the corpses of the Buddha and returned.”
Everyone looked at each other, and they were too bold.
“Uncontrollable greed makes us kill each other, but what if there is only one person?” someone suddenly said.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, but one person does not have to worry about killing each other, maybe he can really bring out the corpses of the Buddha.
“How about we send someone in to move the body? If one person goes in, there won’t be a fight.”
Seriously…the desire is endless, and a little hope makes people think, as if they have forgotten how dangerous it was just now, they are obviously still injured and need to be dealt with first.
In any case, first count the number of people to see if someone is really secretly staying behind to move those Buddha corpses.
Just this count made this peaceful scene terrifying and weird again.
“More…one more person.”
Not only is there not less, but one more person?
“Someone’s among us.”
Hiss.
As soon as the voice came out, everyone’s heart was cold.
Can not help but vigilantly distanced each other.
Each seems to have become an enemy.
Jiang Zhu was also stunned: “Are you sure?”
“Yes, I counted when I came in, and I paid special attention when I moved the Buddha’s body. I am very sensitive to numbers, and I used to do security work. There is always a conditioned reflex to observe the flow of people.”
Someone asked, “Is it possible that someone followed us in later, did anyone see that someone followed up later?”
Everyone swallowed, and they went all the way. They were very cautious when they came, and constantly observed the changes around them. If someone came in with them, they would definitely find out.
Jiang Zhu said, “Make sure you know each other.”
This method is useful for acquaintances, but many of their group of explorers are strangers who have never met before. They want to avoid suspicion by guaranteeing each other. Nor can it be done completely.
But it does rule out a lot of people’s suspicions.
From where they stand now, you can actually see some problems. People who know each other, or who were originally friends stand very close. This is a long-term trust that makes them instinctively approach and stay away from danger when they are in danger.
Everyone couldn’t help but look at the few people who were alone.
Jiang Zhu is a public figure, and he basically knows him. When he entered the cave, he also saw Jiang Zhu’s existence. Therefore, it can be ruled out that the people who came in after they entered the Buddhist cave, so there are only a few other suspects left. single person.
Several people’s expressions changed obviously. Don’t underestimate this suspicion. In the face of unknown danger, they may be killed by emotional people to ensure their own safety.
Especially when the danger is too great to control, most of them may even be a bystander for their own safety.
This kind of thing has happened many times in the ancient country ruins that have appeared, and it is not that they imagined it out of thin air.
Between life and death, human selfishness is far more terrifying than imagined.
Obviously someone’s face has become fierce, and I don’t know what they are thinking.
Someone hurriedly argued: “I’m used to being alone, I’m definitely not the one who mixed in.” Just as
the voice fell, someone said, “Who can prove it to you?”
The whole cave became silent.
Who is the one who infiltrated their team.
People who sneak in don’t want to be known by others, so they must have bad intentions.
Moreover, if he really sneaked in when he was in the Buddhist cave, the identity of this person is too strange.
No one even knows if a person is a ghost.
Thinking of this, I don’t know how many people’s bodies trembled.
Maybe a wicked monster.
Jiang Zhu also looked at the few people who had been singled out, three young men, three middle-aged people, and people in their 20s and 50s, all wearing common clothes.
The expressions on his face are mostly panic, and even in order to avoid being hurt, he has taken the initiative to distance himself from others.
Jiang Zhu said: “There is still a long way to go out here. During this period, everyone should keep a good distance. If there are people who are wrong, there is room to deal with it. If they can go out safely, it doesn’t matter if there are so many people.
” Dao, yes, after going out, everyone goes their separate ways, who cares what extra things are in the team.
But now, he is still frightened and inexplicable, and the unknown danger is around him.
Some people even looked at the lonely people as if they were looking at a murderer or a ghost in hell. It was because there were too many people that they didn’t take action.
Humanity can never be controlled.
Or, the people who sneaked in were just to create such a fear of mutual suspicion and let them kill each other again.
That being said, the people who got in here have an extremely good understanding of human nature and are good at manipulating people’s hearts.
Someone said to the few people who were alone: “Let them walk in front.”
Many people also nodded, and they could feel relieved only if the suspect was within their sight.
Jiang Zhu thought for a while and said, “I’ve been wronged for the time being.”
“After you go out, everyone can breathe a sigh of relief.”
Several people nodded, and it seemed that in order to get rid of suspicion, no one objected, just the dagger in their hands. Tighter.
This scene was naturally seen: “Let them hand over their weapons, otherwise how can we be sure that they will attack suddenly?”
Jiang Zhu frowned, this is for self-protection, such a request seems understandable , who doesn’t want to face a suspect with a weapon, but what about the few left alone? They have already become the target of public criticism. Such a request is to let them give up self-defense and struggle. At this time, no one can believe it, only the weapons in their hands.
Sure enough, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Jiang Zhu said: “Everyone, I don’t know the reason, that person’s purpose is to cause us to have conflicts and conflicts, and then let us deal with ourselves.”
Using the seeds of doubt as the knife to kill, the heart is really vicious.
“So it’s good for us to be vigilant with each other. Don’t act rashly until there is definite evidence. You shouldn’t want to face prison even if you leave here safely, right?”
Although the situation of the expedition team in the ancient country site was chaotic It’s unbearable, everything is happening, and the above can’t manage it, but if there is definite evidence, the murderer and the lawbreaker will still be investigated for the crime, but it is a lot more difficult to obtain evidence.
Now that there are so many people here, if someone were to cause death, and someone identified them after they went out, they would not be able to escape sanctions.
Everyone just let it go. According to the original plan, let the suspects walk in front of them under their noses.
The team went out one after another. Compared with the excitement of the desire for opportunities and the yearning for wealth, the atmosphere is much more depressed now.
The people behind are also separated from each other by a certain distance. Now the situation is so complicated. Although the few people who are alone are the most suspicious, it is not impossible for anyone to be alone. After all, they are all unfamiliar faces.
Distrust, mutual suspicion.
The dagger in his hand was tightly gripped. Jiang Zhu was sure that anyone who had the slightest abnormal behavior might be attacked by a group. His mind was like a tight string. will break.
A very strange expedition.
“Huh?” Someone in front of him suddenly said.
In a quiet environment, it is like a flick in the heart of a person.
The people behind were a little annoyed: “What’s the matter?”
At this time, if you didn’t go out quickly, they made strange noises. Was it intentional?
Maybe this person is the monster who sneaked into the team.
“No.” The person in front said, “When we came in, there was one road leading to the end, right?”
“But look here, there is an extra cave here.”
Jiang Zhu was also taken aback and walked over.
In the place that was supposed to be the wall, there was really a cave, obviously a cave, they couldn’t find it when they came in.
The cave is much smaller than the Buddhist cave, and you can see the end at a glance.
“What is that?” Someone suddenly pointed into the cave and shouted.
There are also many Buddhist shrines in this cave, but the shrines are not Buddha’s corpse, but stone eggs one by one.
“Hey… it’s a stone egg, a stone egg that can produce witchcraft.” Someone couldn’t help but shouted out in surprise.
Modern people already have some understanding of stone eggs.
For a time, the entire team was shocked.
It’s not bad to be a wizard without getting wealth, even more precious than any wealth.
Looking at Jiang Zhu, the entire team was trembling, only Jiang Zhu looked calm.
Why? It wasn’t because Jiang Zhu was a sorcerer.
As long as you become a wizard, will you worry about the opportunity to gain wealth in the future?
Moreover, the stone eggs of the ancient kingdom’s ruins must be very good.
For a time, because the regret of losing the Buddha’s body was completely gone, he rushed into the cave.
Jiang Zhu opened his mouth: “…”
Don’t you think it’s a little suspicious that a cave that didn’t exist suddenly appeared?
But it is estimated that Jiang Zhu will not be able to stop these people, and even the persuasion will be blamed for hindering them from gaining a chance, because…the stone eggs in the cave are not as many as the Buddha’s corpse in the Buddhist cave, and there are not even enough people to go in. People, definitely not.
Sure enough, as the single person walking in front rushed in, the person behind couldn’t help it.
happy.
I didn’t expect such a surprise.
It’s just that the faces of the people behind are not very good, and they can only watch others holding stone eggs.
Obviously the opportunity is in front of you, but others have it, but they don’t.
The atmosphere of repressed fear was slightly replaced by joy.
They will be wizards in the future, and some even can’t help laughing.
Too frustrating.
Those who did not get the stone eggs were naturally depressed. In order to make up for the loss, they began to dig the glowing cicada shells on the walls.
“If you take this thing out, you can sell it for some money.”
“It can’t come for nothing.”
Because the cave was not big, the cicada shells were quickly dug up.
If it was normal, I would leave some lights on, but now I don’t know what I think in my heart. It seems that if you dig one less, you won’t get any benefits. There are obviously many such cicada shells on the stone walls outside, but the ones who dig here can make up for them. of loss.
The same is true of lighting with a cicada shell in hand, but the light in some places in the cave has dimmed, which slightly affects the line of sight.
“Boom!”
Suddenly, someone fell to the ground in a daze.
The excited, depressed voices stopped.
Someone took out the cicada shell lighting and walked over.
“Ah!” A terrified voice.
“He… he’s dead.”
Just like that, in the midst of everyone, he died suddenly.
The crowd walked over.
The one who died was one of the suspected lone people, with a dagger in his chest that pierced his heart, his own dagger, and the stone egg he got next to it.
For a while, the air seemed to freeze.
“Why would he be the one who died?”
Yes, the most suspects are a few people who are alone. If one is excluded, the suspicion of the other people will be more concentrated. Isn’t the murderer narrowing the scope of suspicion? If you want to kill, you should also kill other people.
Could it be that the monsters that sneaked into the team were not among the few people left alone, but other people?
“Death by one’s own dagger, there is no proof of death.”
It is not even clear whether he died at the hands of the monster who got in. They could clearly see the unwilling expression of the person who didn’t get the stone egg just now.
As for why he didn’t take the stone eggs of the deceased, maybe he was afraid of being suspected.
The atmosphere became extremely tense.
But they looked at the stone egg in unison, and there was an extra stone egg, how to distribute it?
Jiang Zhu also sighed. Before, he only heard about the danger of going to the ruins of ancient countries to explore treasures, but now he has seen it.
