Chapter 118 Sacrifice
"Changsheng, what are you afraid of? I'm going to drag Xie Kui's body over here. I mean, maybe only the dead can open this secret door." Second Master Lei clasped his hands together and bowed together with Xiaodao He dragged Xie Kui over.

I breathed a sigh of relief, I didn't expect it to be a false alarm, but when Second Master Lei grabbed Xie Kui's right hand and was about to put it on the secret door, my heart sank again.

With a slap, Xie Kui's increasingly stiff palms pressed against the fingerprints on the secret door, but after half a day, the secret door still remained motionless, and nothing happened.

Second Master Lei sighed and asked Xiaodao to carry Xie Kui back again. He muttered: "Is it true that one person must be sacrificed? That's not right. Lao Dao and the others clearly encountered a secret door 17 years ago. But he went crazy, and the secret door didn't open after that... What should we do?"

Second Master Lei was sitting on the ground exhausted, thinking hard. I looked down at the ticking time on my watch. It was already [-]:[-], and the clock would pass in less than an hour...

Second Master Lei also noticed the current time, and he frowned, "We have to go out before Shenshi passes, otherwise we may never be able to get out, this underground palace is very evil, only when it is noon to Shenshi is safe .”

Second Master Lei said anxiously, but Xiaodao suddenly said to me with a serious face: "Brother Changsheng, I beg you for one thing."

"What's the matter?" I asked suspiciously.

"Take my father's bones out." Xiaodao said, and then he glanced at Second Master Lei beside him, and then said, "Second shopkeeper, thank you for your cultivation for so many years, for the two generations of our Lei family. Take care, I can't repay you with a knife, I am willing to use this life to fulfill your wish for more than ten years, I hope you can live a long life."

As Xiaodao said, he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed three times, then stood up and ran for the secret door. I could feel that he was really determined to die at the moment!

It's just that I don't know whether he can die and live, or die and sacrifice...

But just when his hand was about to touch the secret door, he was tightly grasped by Second Master Lei, who stared into Xiaodao's eyes and said sincerely: "Xiaodao, do you want me to feel guilty for the rest of my life? Lao Dao is my dead brother. His death has already made me very guilty. I swore to take good care of his children at that time. How could I let you die in front of my eyes! I already owe you Lei family too much, you It is the only seedling of the Lei family who must live well!"

Second Master Lei’s words not only moved Xiaodao, but also moved me. Second Master Lei smiled miserably, and he continued: “Perhaps 17 years ago, the seven of us should have died, and I was the one who should have sacrificed. If If you don’t open this secret door, I’m not willing to leave like this, anyway, I’ve been terminally ill and only have two years to live, so why don’t you give it a try!”

While speaking, Second Master Lei had already put his hand on the secret door. Before we could stop him, we saw his face was ashen, as if he was waiting for death to come.

But after a long time, Second Master Lei was still alive, and this time nothing happened!
We can't help but look at each other, neither the dead nor the living, who can open this cursed secret door?

I smiled wryly, now I was the only one left, I put my hand on the secret door without hesitation, my hand just coincided with the palm print engraved with the word "death"...

My heart was pounding, and I suddenly felt that the door was gradually heating up, and finally it was as hot as a soldering iron!
I really couldn't bear the burning sensation, so I withdrew my right hand, and at this moment, the secret door made a rumbling sound, and slowly opened!
