In the Blade

The barbarians who were taken down the mine were still alive.

Although they eat very little food, even comparable to pig food, live in dilapidated Datongbu, which is even comparable to dog kennels, even though they have become extremely weak from all day long physical labor and scarce meals, even though they They had been beaten black and blue by other workers in the mine, but at least they were still alive.

But they would rather die.

If they just swing the knife to death, they can at least die happily, at least they don't have to go through these tortures, and at least they can end like warriors - but now, they can't die even if they want to. Their swords had been taken away long ago, and it was difficult for them to even commit suicide because they were unarmed.

Even if some of them couldn't stand this kind of life and were ready to strangle each other to death, or simply find a stone to hit themselves to death, it would still be impossible.

Just because there is another group of people staring at them.

"Want to die? There is no door!"

Seeing that two more barbarians were about to strangle each other with shackles, several slaves who were thin but had little work to do quickly ran over and beat them apart with a punch.

"How can you die? Do you know how much trouble dead people will cause us? Whenever one of you dies, the foreman will deprive us of food!"

"Ah, ah ah..."

Unable to survive or even die, these barbarians have completely fallen into despair.

And the slaves who beat them were still talking non-stop.

"What's wrong with going to the mine? How big of a deal is it? If you get caught, don't you just have to work? Just get used to this kind of thing... Look at me, I burned coal in Jizhou, moved bricks in Yanzhou, and moved bricks in Yizhou I carried wood, knocked stones in Songzhou, and finally returned to my old business in Dengzhou, but I was arrested again. What did I say? "

The leader of the slaves was frothing at the mouth, and the other slaves also looked at him with admiration. Obviously, in the eyes of these slaves, this traveling colleague must be a ruthless character. He committed crimes everywhere and was arrested many times. But he is still alive and kicking, which is enough to be called the eldest brother among the eldest brothers.

It's just that this kind of thing has nothing to do with the barbarians. Even among the slaves, they are the lowest class and cannot enjoy such hardship - especially those slaves who beat them with fists for fun, and those patrolling foremen But when they turn a blind eye, these barbarians are left with only deeper despair.

So, here comes the question.

Who caused all this to happen?

"It's you!"

At night, a group of barbarians blocked their former elders in a corner.

"If you hadn't told us to come to the East to find the Saint, if you hadn't told us that we could find the Promised Land, none of this would have happened! We wouldn't have ended up in this situation!"

"It's my fault! Did I say something wrong?"

Even though he was blocked in a corner, the Yiren elders still held up their necks and argued hard.

"Yes, we have not found the saint mentioned in the scriptures, but who told you that a saint would be an outsider? A saint can be anyone, and of course he can be born between you and me. You yourself have not been able to gain experience from this journey. "What does this have to do with me?"

After spitting on the ground, the Yiren elder raised his head again.

"Not to mention we also found the Promised Land. Didn't we?"

"You still have the nerve to say this?"

As soon as the Promised Land was mentioned, the barbarians became even more angry.

In other words, this is the reason for their anger. It is a happy thing to find the Promised Land, and it is even more pleasant to receive God's blessing in the Promised Land. Two things The combination of happy things should have made them as happy as if they were about to ascend to heaven - even if they really ascended to heaven, it wouldn't matter. Being able to die in the promised land, being able to sacrifice their lives for the glory of God, this is simply It couldn't be more glorious.

But they failed to ascend to heaven, nor did they die in battle, and they even fell to this point along the way.

Just because their leader, their elder, the wisest among them, is also the most devout to God.

Chosen to serve the blasphemous devil.

"How dare you, how dare you..."

Thinking of this, all the barbarians trembled instinctively. This was because their blood pressure increased due to excessive anger. Until now, they cannot admit this fact.

But they still saw those scenes after all, and saw the scene of their elder begging for mercy. In order to pray for the devil's forgiveness, the old man was even willing to kneel on the ground and lick the devil's toes. Even those two magic weapons that contained divine power , was also offered up by this damn traitor with both hands.

This damn traitor, does he really know how evil he has done?

"How could I not know?"

Facing the accusations from all the Yi people, the Yi people elders looked calm.

"What's wrong with worshiping the devil? Didn't our late kings use the power of the devil? What's more, the power of the devil is so powerful that it can even kill God's angels. So facing an existence that is at least the same as an angel, Why can't I respect him?"

"you……"

The few Yi people who were about to swing their fists were stunned on the spot, and for a moment they didn't know how to retort.

It seems... is this really the case?

"Me? What's wrong with me? We are all God's creations, and angels and devils are the same. If I should kneel down when facing holy angels, why can't I kneel down when facing devils who are also God's creations?"

While saying this, the Yiren elder stood up and even stared back at a group of Yiren.

"Come on, tell me, why can't I do that? What did I do wrong?"

"You, you, you..."

Facing the aggressive Yi elders, all the Yi people hesitated for a while.

"You worshiped the devil. The devil is the enemy of God. How could you..."

"How could that be possible? Do you think I'm surrendering to the enemy?"

The Yiren elder sneered.

"Okay then, let the God in your mouth punish me. Come on, I will stand here and let God punish me! Let God punish that devil!"

"..."

Under the loud scoldings of the Yi people's elders, all the Yi people were speechless and did not dare to speak.

Fortunately, the Yiren elder did not continue to curse. After all, such loud shouting could easily attract the whip from the foreman - but after the Yiren elder lowered his voice, the low voice lingering in his ears was more like the devil's. Whisper.

"The main reason why you came to me is because you can't face yourself, right?"

The Yiren elder smiled, his sharp teeth shining in the cold moonlight.

"You must find a window to vent, and you must find someone to take on all this, otherwise you will find that everything I said is right... God didn't punish the devil, did he? God didn't punish me either. No matter how blasphemous I did, God didn’t punish me. Aren’t you curious why He didn’t punish me? “Is it because He doesn’t want to?”

The Yiren elder's voice became even lower.

"Or are you saying that God is just a forgery made by the scriptures?"

"Stop talking! Stop talking!"

The few barbarians who were at the forefront immediately raised their fists and struck him.

But their clenched fists were so weak at the moment.

Maybe some of them have really been shaken.

The second update arrived, and everyone went to bed early.
