Chapter 146: Life on the line
Six people sat around the dining table.

The order of the performances was decided in a few words.

Hu Yunkuan took the initiative to perform the tightrope walking.

Guan Daorong is going to perform the story of learning to walk in Handan.

Wu Xian and Du E performed the game "You Draw, I Guess" together.

Wei Dian and Liang Fang chose to be in sync with each other.

After the order was decided, the performance began.

Hu Yunkuan was the first to walk onto the stage, holding a tightrope walking stick in his hand.

What makes everyone curious is that there is no equipment for tightrope walking on the stage, so how does Hu Yunkuan walk on the tightrope?

The answer to this question soon came. Butler Hu clapped his hands, and suddenly a burst of white smoke came out, covering the entire stage. After the white smoke disappeared, there was a five-meter-high rack on each side of the stage, and a ten-meter-long steel wire hung between the two racks. This was the place where Hu Yunkuan was going to walk on the tightrope.

If it were just this, tightrope walking would at best be considered ordinary acrobatics, and falling from a height of five meters would not necessarily result in death.

But under the two racks, there are thousands of sharp blades!
These blades are extremely thin and sharp, and are only about one centimeter apart from each other. If Hu Yunkuan fails, the meat will be immediately cut into even slices by the blade below.

Hu Yunkuan swallowed.

He originally thought that his balancing ability was pretty good, so he chose the tightrope walking, which had the most obvious meaning among the four programs. Because of Fudi's personality, the apparently most difficult event might actually be the simplest.

But Hu Yunkuan was immediately nervous to see that there was such a thing under the wire.

Wu Xian's eyes moved slightly.

He found that these blades, which were one centimeter apart, looked very similar to the wounds on Sha Xiuwen's body!

Could it be that she had chosen this game in the first place, but slipped and fell off the tightrope?

Wu Xian sincerely hoped that Hu Yunkuan would not fail, because once he died, his four-color flag with dragon pattern would disappear.

Those demons also cried out in surprise.

However, what made them exclaim was not how dangerous the show was, but the fact that Butler Hu created such a tightrope walking venue just by clapping his hands.

Monsters like fox spirits.

Only when one reaches fifty can one transform into a human, and only when one reaches a hundred can one have supernatural powers, able to bewitch the mind and perform some minor magic.

Before, Butler Hu conjured up a box of fortune sticks out of thin air, which was normal for a hundred-year-old fox demon.

But to create such a huge tightrope walking stage out of thin air in front of so many evil spirits and make it impossible for people to find any flaws is definitely not something an ordinary centenary fox can do.

The bird-headed monster cackles, "A thousand-year-old fox can communicate with the heavens. Butler Hu, have you become a celestial fox?"

Steward Hu stroked his beard and smiled complacently, "Thanks to Master Liu for bestowing me with the magic, I was able to gain a thousand years of life after a visit to the human town. At today's banquet, the master will bestow a few more magic spells, and I wonder who among you will be so lucky."

As soon as the words left his mouth.

All the demons present gasped, and then burst into deafening cheers, and the atmosphere suddenly became heated.

But Wu Xian felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

After the death of the grandmother of the Liu family, the young master of the Liu family actually chose to make public the "evil law of taking away longevity"!
What will the demons and evil spirits do if they get this evil law?
no doubt.

Attack humans and increase your lifespan!
The banquet before our eyes might be the beginning of a demonic disaster!

For Hu Yunkuan.

The noise outside the stage was meaningless because he had to consider how to survive on the stage.

After thinking for a moment.

Hu Yunkuan borrowed the Zhangba Snake Spear from Guan Daorong, and then inserted the green flag into the middle of the platforms on both sides. He then walked up to the platform tremblingly holding the snake spear.

Standing on the high platform, everything below seemed to have become smaller. Looking at the densely packed thin blades, Hu Yunkuan couldn't help but feel dizzy.

But he had to walk these ten meters quickly.

Because the effect of the green flag on increasing the accuracy of movements can only last for ten minutes.

"Bold characters!"

The tight wire was originally only as thick as a pen core, but after the talisman was cast, the wire suddenly became thicker, as thick as a thumb, which was thick enough to not hurt your feet when you step on it. Hu Yunkuan took off his shoes, held the Zhangba Snake Spear horizontally to maintain balance, and finally walked onto the wire.

Fooling!

As soon as he stepped on it, the wire suddenly shook.

Hu Yunkuan twisted his body and tried hard to keep his balance, and he barely managed to stand on the wire. Just from swaying for a moment, his clothes were soaked with sweat and his legs immediately went limp.

Wei Dian and the others' hearts also shook. Liang Fang even grabbed Wei Dian's arm and lowered her head, not daring to look at this frightening scene anymore.

However, the evil spirits on the stage all showed disappointed expressions, and a pig-headed monster even spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm, which was very uncivilized and polite.

"Hehe, it would be great if this guy fell down, so that each of us could get a piece!"

Wu Xian looked at the evil spirit that made the sound in surprise.

It turns out there are really living creatures that can make a "hehe" sound.

Hu Yunkuan ignored the noise below. Holding the Zhangba Snake Spear, he moved forward slowly, one step, two steps, as slow as a snail. Every time he took a step, he showed a look of relief.

This acrobatic show was much more difficult than he had imagined. His heart was in a knot and his mood was like a roller coaster.

Fortunately, with the help of the green flag, his every movement was very standard without any deviation. Although he encountered many dangerous situations, he did not fall off the wire in the end.

Hu Yunkuan walked to the center of the wire.

Wow!
Hu Yunkuan's heartbeat suddenly accelerated and a look of despair flashed across his face.

The effect of the green flag disappeared!

He walked much slower than he thought. It took him ten minutes just to reach the middle!
Hu Yunkuan maintained his posture and stood on the wire for a long time without moving. The pole of the Zhangba Snake Spear was shaking slightly. Now he was trying his best just to keep his balance.

The evil spirits below were shouting loudly, urging him to move forward faster.

Liang Fang shouted loudly: "Stay calm, only if you stay calm can you survive!"

But Hu Yunkuan was a person who easily got nervous. How could he calm down just because someone told him to? It seemed that there were countless evil spirits blocking the way ahead, and below was an endless abyss from which he would never be able to climb out once he fell in.

"We can't keep going like this!"

The more he knew that being nervous was useless, the more nervous Hu Yunkuan became. His panicked heart seemed like it was about to explode, and he began to complain about every choice he had made since entering the blessed land.

If I hadn’t come to the banquet hall, if I hadn’t chosen to walk on the tightrope, if I hadn’t carried a flag on the stage.

if……

No fake creed!
Thinking of this, Hu Yunkuan suddenly remembered Wu Xian's face.

Wu Xian, with dark circles under his eyes, sarcastically said to him, "Oh, it's hard to believe that someone who doesn't even have the basic psychological qualities would be willing to sacrifice for a belief."

Hu Yunkuan raised his head suddenly, and suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart.

"I want to join the Creed, I want to..."

He was mumbling something in a voice that only he could hear.

"Die for the living, live for the dead, stick to your heart, and follow your creed..."

His nervousness suddenly disappeared, and he raised his leg and took a step forward. This step was even more decisive and accurate than the previous one with the precision bonus!

Sometimes it is not strength that determines life or death.

It's the mentality.

Just as Hu Yunkuan was about to reach the finish line, a drop of sweat that he had shed when he was nervous happened to flow down at this moment and flow into his eyes.

The step he was supposed to take suddenly went a little crooked.

then……

He lost his balance.

　"Xuan Zhong Ji"

At fifty, a fox can transform into a woman. At a hundred, it becomes a beautiful woman, a witch, or a man who has sex with a woman. It can know what is happening a thousand miles away. It is good at bewitching people and making them lose their minds. At a thousand, it can communicate with the sky and become a celestial fox.
