Chapter 469 Do You Want to Live?

Late at night, the moonlight is like water, covering everything with a layer of silver.

Lu Mingfei opened his eyes and saw the antique wooden ceiling. A moment of trance flashed in his eyes.

Lu Mingfei listened intently.

The girl's singing voice came from a distant place like smoke and tears.

It's very concerning.

Lu Mingfei got out of bed and looked at Fengjian Liuli, who was in the same room.

For a moment, Kazama Liuli's eyes were filled with smiles.

He stood up with a grunt like a child, his long silky hair hanging down.

"Brother Lu, if you can't sleep either..."

Kazama Liuli turned her head and thought for a moment, her eyes brightened.

"Sure enough, I'm not the only one who heard it, right?"

Lu Mingfei and Fengjian Liuli went out quietly.

This is the residence arranged by the Swordsman clan. At the strong request of Kazama Ruri, he and Lu Mingfei share the same room. As for Mai Shutoku...

A dark shadow fell from the beam, as nimble as a cat.

"Master."

It was as faint as the flapping of mosquito wings.

Jiude Mai nodded to Lu Mingfei and ignored a certain legendary cowherd.

Mai Shutoku is still brooding over the fact that Ruri Kazama and Lu Mingfei are in the same room.

"Be careful, let's go."

None of the three Lu Mingfei were weak in skill. They walked quietly without any sound, and not a single member of the Sword Attendant clan was awakened.

The three of them walked out of the house.

The bright moonlight pours down, making the night extraordinarily quiet.

Kazama Liuli looked up at the moon.

"It's the night of the twelfth lunar month."

His voice was very low and well controlled, so that only Lu Mingfei and Mai Shutoku could hear it.

"It's still a day or two away."

Mai Shutoku also glanced at the moon.

Then she explained to Lu Mingfei.

"Master, the fifteenth moon night this guy is talking about is actually the full moon."

"It's not just that."

Kazama Ruri raised her finger to add.

"In Shintoism, the night of the twelfth lunar month also means that yin and yang are out of order, and demons and ghosts will cause chaos in the world. In short, it is a very ominous day."

"Is it ominous..."

Lu Mingfei glanced at the moon that was about to become full.

"Did you hear that?"

The performances of Kazama Ruri and Shutoku Mai were completely different. The former nodded cheerfully, while the latter frowned in thought.

Jiude Mai looked at Fengjian Liuli and then at Lu Mingfei.

Finally, she fixed her gaze on Lu Mingfei.

"Master, what did you hear?"

"Someone is crying."

Mai Shutoku looked around at the quiet night, and thought that the cry that only she could not hear was faintly heard somewhere. Given her temperament, her expression couldn't help but change.

Of course, Mai Shutoku will not be like the stupid protagonist in a horror movie, rubbing her arms while laughing, saying nonsense such as "It's impossible", "Are you kidding", "I must be hearing hallucinations, hahaha". if.

Mai Shutoku cast a questioning look at Kazama Ruri.

"Did you hear that too?"

Kazama Liuli admitted generously.

"Exactly."

"It's this direction..."

Lu Mingfei turned around and greeted the two of them.

"Follow, let's talk about anything on the way."

"yes!"

The Sword Attendant clan still maintains the ancient clan custom of rising at sunrise and resting at sunset. At this point in the night, there are almost no pedestrians on the street, only watchmen walking through the streets and patrols led by the captain.

The vigilant golden eyes swept across the corner of the wall. The captain stared for a long time, suddenly activated, and pounced like a cheetah. However, what he saw was empty and no one.

Is the induction wrong?

"team leader!"

The escort team arrived belatedly.

"fine."

He waved.

"Continue patrolling."

"yes."

Under the leadership of the captain, the escort gradually moved away.

An ink mark appeared in the empty air, and it twisted several times, revealing the figures of Lu Mingfei and three others.

Jiudoku Mai extinguished her golden eyes and canceled the spiritual illumination.

"Still ahead."

Lu Mingfei looked at it intently.

The closer they got to the source of the singing, the greater the density of patrols. If it hadn't been for Shutoku Mai's voice spirit, they would have inevitably had a fierce fight.

Lu Mingfei was not afraid of fighting, but... before he figured out the situation, he would have less trouble and avoid alerting the enemy.

But reaching this point is already the limit. Going forward, even with the help of speech spirits, it will be difficult to move forward.

"Brother Lu, I have a way."

Kazama Ruri smiled and spoke.

"oh?"

Lu Mingfei cast a doubtful look.

Kazama Ruri nodded.

"follow me."

…………

"sorry, I……"

"If this doesn't happen next time, go and come back as soon as possible!"

"yes!"

The patrolling clan members bowed deeply, and then hurriedly walked towards the dark corner.

A pair of golden eyes suddenly lit up.

Kazama Liuli knocked this man unconscious.

"May I?

The person asking the question was Lu Mingfei, who was looking at this man suspiciously.

"Keep an eye on Brother Lu."

Fengjian Liuli looked at this person's face up and down, nodded, and wiped it on Lu Mingfei's face twice. Miraculously, under the cover of the night, Lu Mingfei's face looked similar to this person's. About seventy or eighty percent similar.

Mai Shutoku looked silently, even if she was proficient in all ninja skills, she couldn't do something as exaggerated as Ruri Kazama.

Cowherd... what a magical profession it is.

Kazama Ruri and Shutoku Mai followed suit. They put on the uniforms of the sword servant clan and successfully approached their destination.

"This is……"

"shrine."

The three of them, Lu Mingfei and Lu Mingfei, stood in front of the vermilion bird, surrounded by thick hemp ropes. Legend has it that the inside and outside of the bird separated the gods from humans. The outside of the bird was the human world, and the inside was the residence of the gods.

"This is where the female singing comes from."

Lu Mingfei said.

"I'll go take a look, you guys..."

Lu Mingfei glanced at Fengjian Liuli and the others.

"Of course together."

Kazama Ruri said with a smile.

"Is Brother Lu going to abandon us?"

Lu Mingfei smiled.

"If you want to come, just follow."

They step into the bird sniper.

Is it a psychological suggestion...

No, it's true.

The moment Lu Mingfei and the others stepped over the bird snipers, a strange feeling swept through their bodies, as if they were being targeted by some scary guy. There was a sticky feeling in their hearts, which was very uncomfortable.

The shrine was so quiet that not even the chirping of insects was heard.

"Speak of it."

Perhaps in order to break this strange feeling with a voice, Kazama Ruri spoke, he said to Shutoku Mai.

"Actually, you don't need to come."

"After all, Brother Lu and I can hear it, but you can't. This shows."

Kazama Ruri smiled harmlessly, like the sunshine boy next door.

"Auntie, you are completely redundant."

"Aunt……"

Mai Shutoku smiled slightly.

"A brat like you probably won't understand the charm of a mature woman like my sister in a hundred years."

"And what's extra..."

"As long as the young master is there, I should be there. There is nothing superfluous or superfluous."

"Oh okay."

The two wanted to talk, but were stopped by Lu Mingfei's gesture.

"listen……"

"right here."

"Very close."

When Jiude Mai heard the words, she also looked like she was listening. Sure enough, just as Lu Mingfei said, when we got here, we were already very close, and even Jiude Mai could hear clearly.

"It's...in the side hall." The closer you get, the clearer you hear it.

And this voice... is vaguely familiar.

Suddenly, the singing stopped.

Lu Mingfei frowned.

He looked around and saw Mai Shutoku falling behind him, only Kazama Ruri followed.

But the expressions of both of them are different, including Kazama Ruri who followed, her eyes were clearly open, but her eyes had lost their focus, looking blankly at the empty place. Sugatoku Mai was like this, Kazama Ruri's expression was still there. There are struggles.

Suddenly, Mai Shutoku clasped her hands in vain. It seemed to be just an instinctive twitch, but some mysterious changes occurred, suddenly waking her up from the strange state she was in before.

After regaining consciousness, Mai Shutoku looked around blankly, and gradually came back to her senses. Thinking of everything that had happened before, she couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.

"Bless me, boss."

Fengjian Liuli also underwent drastic changes. His expression sometimes changed from cute to arrogant, as if there were two souls taking turns using this skin.

"elder brother."

Kazama Liuli seemed to have seen something, and raised the corners of her mouth with a cute smile.

Kazama Liuli blinked, her eyes regained consciousness, and she recalled everything before, with a warm look on her face.

"You are……"

Lu Mingfei asked.

Fengjian Liuli and Jiude Mai both looked at Lu Mingfei.

They looked brilliant.

"Master, you just...didn't see anything?"

Lu Mingfei nodded.

"As expected of the young master."

"As expected of Brother Lu."

Kazama Ruri and Shutoku Mai looked at each other and saw the same look in each other's eyes.

In their opinion, there is no doubt that Lu Mingfei is the one with the highest pedigree among them. Some people can hear the same song and some can't. Fengjian Liuli is probably because of the emperor's blood. He has a great connection with the sword servant clan. , this is something that is obvious.

And Lu Mingfei probably has pure blood.

Today too.

Mai Shutoku and Ruri Kazama were both affected. Only Lu Mingfei remained awake. After much deliberation, the only explanation was blood.

"These must be the benefactors who saved Xiaolian."

A woman's voice sounded in the side hall.

"I'd like to thank you all here."

"only……"

"Please don't go any further."

The woman's voice was somewhat pleading.

"Too dangerous."

"Everyone, please come back."

"I won't tell everyone in the clan what happened tonight."

"So..."

"Please come back."

These words were all ancient sayings, and among everyone present, only Lu Mingfei could understand them.

Kazama Ruri and Shutoku Mai have both moved away, standing at a safe distance. Lu Mingfei can ignore the impact, but they can't. They finally broke away and regained consciousness, but the impact is still continuing. They cannot guarantee that they will be affected every time. He could regain his consciousness, and holding on until the end might just cause trouble for Lu Mingfei, so he simply retreated and stayed on guard outside.

Lu Mingfei took a few steps forward and stood in front of the side hall door.

He put his hand on the door lock.

It was as if he could sense the hesitation of the young girl inside the door.

The girl's singing voice once again appeared in Lu Mingfei's ears, making her cry like she was complaining.

"what's your name?"

The girl in plain clothes sitting in the side hall heard the sound outside the door.

It's so close, only a door separates it.

Ever since she became the sacrifice in place of my sister, no one has been able to get so close to her.

Especially now that the sacrifices have officially begun.

She thought secretly.

Perhaps as my sister said, this person is the envoy of God.

A smile appeared on the girl's lips.

"tell me."

"your name."

"me?"

The girl shook her head, her black hair swaying.

"meaningless."

"I'm going to die."

"Even if you know my name, it's meaningless."

Lu Mingfei's hand pressed against the door slowly tightened.

He felt a fierce resistance rebounding, trying to shake his hand away.

Lu Mingfei was still talking to the girl inside the door.

"Whether it makes sense or not is not up to you."

"But in me."

He is domineering as it should be.

“When I say it makes sense, it makes sense.”

"What does it have to do with you?"

The girl was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

She lowered her head and covered her mouth, but still shrugged her shoulders.

The girl covered her mouth and laughed out of breath.

"grown ups……"

"It's really...different."

The girl took a deep breath.

"That's it for now. It's an honor for Jian Shihua to remember my name."

Jian Shihua smiled lonely and said softly.

"I've met my lord."

"Little girl, sword servant."

"Jian Shihua..."

Lu Mingfei murmured.

“If I’m not mistaken, you are Jian Shilian’s sister and the one who let her go.

Jian Shihua didn't shirk at all.

"Exactly."

"So you take the place of Sword Server Lotus as a sacrifice."

"Exactly."

"So you're going to die."

"Exactly."

"So……"

Lu Mingfei asked her gently.

"Do you want to die?"

Jian Shihua was shocked and confused.

"I asked……"

"Are you willing to die like this?"

Jian Shihua opened his mouth and was speechless for a long time.

Be willing to do something, in the final analysis, who would be willing to do so?

She still has a lot of unfinished business.

I haven’t watched Xiaolian grow up yet.

The regret in my heart is like autumn leaves falling all over the mountain.

But no matter how unwilling or regretful it is, what's the use?

Jian Shihua's smile became even more lonely.

She shook her head again.

"grown ups."

"Tomorrow is Cinco de Mayo night."

"Now, the sacrifice has begun."

The dim moonlight shone on Jian Shihua's body, reflecting the horrific red marks crisscrossing her body, between her eyebrows, in her body, on her neck, on both wrists, and on every inch of this girl's skin.

The so-called human sacrifice means that the sacrifice is a human being and the object is a sword.

Sword Shihua suffered the pain of being cut into pieces by thousands of swords.

"So, sir."

"it's useless."

"You'd better go."

Jian Shihua stretched out his hand towards the door, but before touching it, he retracted as if he was electrocuted.

He curled his lips.

"I'm dying."

"This door is blessed by His Highness the Divine Body. Even adults cannot open it."

"Furthermore, His Highness the Divine Body is directing his gaze towards this place. You'd better leave as soon as possible, otherwise, something bad may happen..."

Very bad thing?

Lu Mingfei pressed the door again, feeling the rebounding force, and nodded. This was probably what Jian Shihua said, His Royal Highness's gaze.

"You're right."

Clusters of torches surround the shrine.

Mai Shutoku and Ruri Kazama drew their swords in their hands and were alert to their surroundings.

All around were members of the Sword Warrior clan.

They moved out of the way and stepped out of the captain and elder.

"Outsiders, leave the shrine."

The captain stared at Lu Mingfei.

"Be careful to offend the gods, the consequences are not something you can afford."

The elder leaned on his cane and sighed.

"Ahua is also my granddaughter."

"My child, I am not willing to accept it either."

The elder looked at Lu Mingfei for a long time, as if he was identifying something.

Finally, she shook her head and turned her gaze to Fengjian Liuli.

"As an outsider, I know you mean well."

"But I said, someone who can save us..."

"Only royal blood."

"but……"

The elder's waist became even more bent.

"Even Lord Huangxue can't get close to the sacrificial center."

"It seems that we..."

Among the people of the Sword Attendant clan, many people looked sad and gritted their teeth.

Lu Mingfei turned a deaf ear.

He just pressed the door and asked Jian Shihua.

"tell me."

"You...want to live?"
