I am cultivating an immortal in the game arena

Chapter 227 Across the Brazier

"What is it?"

Huang Mao noticed that Zhang Jun's body was a little stiff, so he stretched out his fingers to lift the black cloth in front of him to take a look at what was inside.

Zhang Jun directly covered the lid of the bamboo basket: "It's nothing, don't look around and concentrate on your work."

Huang Mao curled his lips and murmured in a low voice: "Those who didn't know better thought you were my senior brother. It's a pity that my master died so early. Alas..."

Zhang Jun was too lazy to pay attention to Huang Mao's chatter, thinking in his heart that this fish might be today's main dish.

I just don’t know if the princes will be able to eat this big green carp when the time comes.

Just as he was thinking about it, there was suddenly a sound of gongs and drums outside the door.

At the same time, there was a burst of familiar children's laughter: "The groom is here, the distinguished guests are here, the good and auspicious day is coming soon, enter the divine gate, step over the brazier, wash yourself and worship the house god."

Zhang Jun also felt that the flow of true energy in his body was accelerating, but strangely, he could actually sense the situation inside the sedan.

He closed his eyes and thought, and his sight appeared in the sedan.

I saw that the inside of the sedan was full of red light, and a figure with his head covered by a red cloth was sitting in the sedan unable to move.

Although Zhang Jun couldn't see this person's face, he could already recognize him from the way he was dressed.

It's King Rui.

Unexpectedly, he turned into the groom's official.

Then he tried to look outside, and his eyes shifted from inside the sedan to outside.

I saw King Qin, Liu Zhengchun and others following behind him unhurriedly.

At this time, Zhang Jun noticed Xie Mingxuan following behind.

He lowered his head, the left half of his face was covered in blood, and one eye disappeared, leaving only a deep eye socket.

He was swaying with every step he took, and he didn't know if it was because he was not used to one of his eyes, or he was just weak from the excessive bleeding.

But Xie Mingxuan is lucky.

Because Qi Dongyang and the others told everyone about this trick before when they came back.

So when he sensed something was wrong, Xie Mingxuan knew that he must not delay. The longer he delayed, the more deadly these little guys would ask for.

That's why he gritted his teeth decisively and gave up one of his eyes.

The rest were unfortunately belatedly informed.

Some people had their arms taken away, some had their hearts removed directly, and some who tried to escape or resisted were swallowed by the red sedan and became delicacies in the sedan's mouth.

Even King Qin had to lose an ear.

Of course, there are also lucky ones, such as a guy who followed King Qin. When the kid asked for his big gold tooth, he immediately pulled it out and got through the difficulty safely.

But this is just an example.

The one who really has no damage is Eunuch Liu. These children don't seem to be interested in eunuchs.

After learning that Eunuch Liu was an eunuch, he ignored him.

King Rui was surrounded by three children from beginning to end. In the end, he was pushed directly into the red sedan chair and became the groom's official.

In short, if you look at this group of people, they are either missing arms or legs, or they are missing parts.

I had to come here with the sedan.

"Enter the divine door, step over the brazier, wash yourself and worship the house god!"

As soon as they reached the gate, a group of children started singing again.

When everyone heard these children singing, they shivered instinctively, and they were obviously scared.

But this time it didn't seem to be aimed at them.

But it is aimed at the groom.

A group of dolls opened the sedan curtain, wrapped red silk scarves around King Rui, and pulled him forward.

"Buzz..."

The main door opened in front of him, and a group of eunuchs with their faces smeared with red rouge came out with joy.

Gongs and drums were beaten, firecrackers were set off, and it looked as lively as a wedding reception outside.

But the premise is to ignore the weird laughter coming from the blood-red lantern above the door.

When King Rui was dragged into the gate, the two eunuchs carried him and jumped directly in front of a brazier.

When everyone saw this, they followed him forward.

At this time, a eunuch stopped in front of everyone: "Dear nobles, today is a happy day for our family. The nobles have come from afar to step over the brazier. For no other reason than for good luck."

Everyone's expressions changed when they heard this, and they looked at the brazier.

I saw green flames coming out of the brazier, and there was a rattling sound inside. After a closer look, I found that all the things burning inside were human skulls.

Now the expressions on the faces of King Qin and others were unnatural.

"Please ask the nobles to jump over the brazier quickly. It will be unlucky to delay the time." The eunuch continued to urge at the top of his voice.

King Qin frowned. He didn't dare to get angry when facing those dolls, but he couldn't hold back his anger when facing these eunuchs.

"A bunch of dog slaves have blinded you, what if I don't want to."

The eunuch in front of him raised his head, with veins bulging on his face, his eyes gradually turned red, and he said faintly: "My lord, please quickly step across the brazier!"

This time the eunuch's tone was obviously commanding.

King Qin was about to get angry when a figure walked out from King Qin: "I'll go first."

When everyone took a look, it turned out to be Xie Mingxuan.

"I'm going to die soon. I'll die early and be born early. But can Prince Qin promise me that if I go out, I can help my family?"

Xie Mingxuan looked at King Qin with one eye. Among the five princes, King Qin could not be said to be very good, but he was somewhat benevolent.He thought very clearly that he was missing an eye and lost Master Zhao's protection. He expected that Eunuch Liu, an old eunuch, would not survive until the end.

Instead of doing this, it is better to give it a try, even if you die, you can give your family a little hope.

After hearing this, King Qin nodded heavily: "What's your name?"

"Xie Mingxuan."

As he said that, Xie Mingxuan stepped over the brazier.

The moment he stepped on the brazier with one foot, a dark blue flame immediately burst out of the brazier under his crotch and penetrated into Xie Mingxuan's body.

"what!!"

Xie Mingxuan screamed, but he covered the socket of the missing eye with both hands, and saw blue flames overflowing from the socket, causing Xie Mingxuan to fall to the ground and roll around in pain.

When King Qin and others saw this, they immediately took a few steps back.

Zhang Jun's consciousness was in the sedan, so he couldn't see it clearly, but relying on the characteristics of the sedan, he felt a special power growing in Xie Mingxuan's body.

It only took a moment for Xie Mingxuan to adapt to the burning sensation. He rubbed his eyes and after getting up from the ground, a dark blue eyeball grew out of his empty eye socket.

There was no white inside the eyes, only a dark blue flame dancing.

"Thank you brother, are you okay?"

King Qin asked.

Xie Mingxuan blinked. Not only did his vision recover, but there was also a force flowing in his pupils, making him feel that his cultivation, which had not improved over the years, had improved several levels at once.

"It's okay...I'm fine...very good, I feel very good."

Xie Mingxuan clenched his fist and tried to punch the air in front of him. A burst of dark blue fire emerged from the blue fire pupils and exploded in front of Xie Mingxuan's fist.

When everyone saw this, they couldn't help but be greatly moved. It seemed that the brazier was not harmful, but had many benefits and could repair their defects.

Although it looks a bit scary, compared to becoming disabled, this is simply good news.

This time there was no need for the eunuch to urge them, they all quickly stepped forward and jumped in front of the brazier.

The moment he jumped over the brazier, his body was ignited with dark blue flames. All the original damaged areas were repaired, and he was obviously stronger than before.

It seems that the more serious the disability, the higher the cultivation level will be improved.

King Qin touched his bloody right ear, thought for a moment, and suddenly pulled out a dagger and slashed his left ear, cutting off his own left ear as well.

Then, as if he had changed into a different person, he began to mutilate himself, cutting off his calf with one knife, and cutting off the other leg with another knife.

In the end, he even cut off his own hands.

Now everyone's eyes changed when they looked at King Qin. Who would have thought that King Qin could be so cruel.

For the sake of strength, he did not hesitate to put himself through so much torture.

But it is also understandable. After all, in a place like this, it is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others. Only with strength can you have the capital to survive.

At the urging of King Qin, a guard jumped over the brazier with King Qin in his arms.

Just as King Qin thought, blue flames surged out of the brazier and instantly enveloped King Qin.

"what!!"

Accompanied by heartbreaking screams, King Qin's severed limbs grew back, but they were not human arms, but thick tentacles.

At the same time, King Qin's abdomen also began to swell, and his originally handsome facial features became distorted, and a pair of rabbit-like pointed ears grew back.

This scene made everyone's jaw drop.

When King Qin opened his eyes again, he had turned into a monster that was neither human nor ghost.

But instead of feeling angry, King Qin rolled his tentacles, intoxicated by this unprecedented power.

"You guys, hurry up and step over the brazier!"

He turned around and urged in a hoarse voice.

Upon seeing this, the others stepped over from the brazier one after another. The damaged parts were repaired, and their cultivation levels even improved a lot.

But it is far less exaggerated than King Qin.

The old eunuch Liu Zhengchun stared straight at the brazier. After just a moment, he shook his head and walked past the brazier.

The other eunuchs seemed to turn a blind eye to this, but Zhang Jun, whose consciousness was attached to the red sedan chair, could see this scene clearly.

Zhang Jun transferred his consciousness back from the red sedan at this time.

"It seems that the old eunuch Liu Zhengchun has been here more than once."

If the brazier could repair the missing body, then why didn't he try it? Even if the thing that grew out in the end was nondescript, it would still be useful.

Zhang Jun didn't believe that Liu Zhengchun could resist such a temptation. There must be other reasons why he didn't step over the brazier.

What reasons could make Liu Zhengchun resist the temptation to become a man again.

Zhang Jun thought about it and thought about it, nothing more than the words life and death.

"Hey, hurry up, we're going to invite the God of Cooking."

The little old man's shout interrupted Zhang Jun's thoughts, and all the black-faced men stood in front of the kitchen.

Facing the shrine.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Jun quickly followed the team and stood up.

The little old man took out the yellow incense, lit it, bowed to the shrine, and then inserted the incense candle on the incense burner in front of the shrine.

As the green smoke filled the incense burner, Zhang Jun's face suddenly became ugly. Not only him, but also Huang Mao beside him was trembling, and the passive effect of the cursed body was activated again.

Zhang Jun lowered his head and saw a strange green-yellow aura surging from his body. He was tricked again, and this time the source of the trick was the shrine in front of him...
