Chapter 1151: Classmates in Prison
Qin Lichuan did not speak again.
He didn't know how to evaluate the thoughts and practices of Tianduguang, but he at least felt that in the dirt full of hardship and sin, there was no bloom of flowers full of hatred.
For the vast majority of people in the world, forgiveness is one of the hard things to do.
He looked out the car window at Luoyang.
Probably because there were powerful cultivators fighting in the past and disturbing the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi too violently, Luoyang had a little more rain in early spring, but the climate was not colder than in previous years, so he saw that some green vines had already bloomed yellow flowers earlier than in previous years.
......
The south is warmer than the north in many cases, but not necessarily in the cold spring.
Even when it doesn't rain, it's cold and humid in early spring.
Obviously, some vegetable fields have grown vegetable moss, and they are going to be golden everywhere, but the cold makes the thick jacket on the body unable to take off for a while.
In a Zhongzhou military barracks very close to the walls of the imperial city, there is a very inconspicuous stone house.
Underneath this stone house, there is a small dungeon, and no more than twenty prisoners are held on weekdays.
In Jiankang City, it is not the military's job to investigate and detain prisoners, so often only those who do not belong to the ordinary civilian population are detained here.
Most of them were captured by the military's cultivators, who were considered to be very harmful to the world, and most of these cultivators had some secrets that the military wanted to trace.
In one of the stone houses, there was a staircase several feet down, and the dungeon below the staircase was divided by a hard stone, and the outside of the stone was also paved with thick steel plates, and there was no other way to enter and exit.
The corridors and cells of the dungeon were all equipped with magic circles, and if these magic circles were forcibly destroyed, when the doors of those cells were forcibly broken, several heavy dark iron doors would fall, and even cultivators at the peak of the Divine Mind Realm would never be able to break those dark iron doors and rush out.
Because in the soil layer under several stone houses, there are also stone boxes filled with lead powder.
After being driven by the magic circle on the periphery, this dungeon will soon become a Jedi that cannot pull the vitality of heaven and earth.
In fact, except for the prison officers and generals who supervised the cell, the rest of the city officials had little interest in entering the cell, and many of them always had a fear of such a place, just like any tomb robber who was always worried about being cut off after entering the thief's tomb on a dark and windy night when he was sure that there was no one around.
Qi Zhuji rarely comes to this kind of place.
He wasn't afraid, the corpses and broken limbs he had seen on the battlefield were unimaginable to even the jailers here, but there was always an uncomfortable aura in such a place.
It's like the smell of blood, excrement, and the lingering ghost.
When he entered this dungeon with Wang Pingyang, Li Mo and the chubby medical officer Wang Xianrui, there was only one prisoner in this dungeon, and the rest of the prisoners were temporarily escorted to other places, and even several jailers who were originally on duty in the dungeon were transferred out of the dungeon, and there was less of the breath of a living person, and this dungeon became more and more gloomy.
A dim oil lamp lit tenaciously on, illuminating the only prisoner in the dungeon.
The prisoner had obviously been imprisoned in the dungeon for too long, and although he had not been detached from his bones, his skin was as pale and gray as the belly of a dead fish in the dim light of the oil lamp, and the blood vessels in his body were clearly visible under his skin, and the contrast with his skin color was so drastic that it looked like black lines drawn one by one.
This prisoner was very young, he looked about the same age as Qi Zhuji and the others, when he heard the sound of unfamiliar footsteps, he suddenly raised his head, and some vitality fluctuations poured out around his body, the whistling wind suddenly sounded in the small cell, and the chains bound to him collided violently, although the light of the oil lamp outside was blown more clearly by the wind gushing out of this cell, but the chains on his body kept hitting sparks, but made this cell slightly brighter.
"Why, who wouldn't give up on asking me some stupid question?"
The prisoner's eyes had already adapted to this kind of darkness, and he looked fiercely at the direction where Qi Zhuji and the others were coming, "Deliberately executed some prisoners here with me, is it to intimidate me, or deliberately let me recover some true yuan, what are your ideas?" ”
Qi Zhuji's eyebrows were slightly raised.
He had never been afraid of such hysterics, especially such prisoners who could not get out of trouble no matter how much they screamed.
He sneered directly: "We deliberately let you recover some true yuan. ”
The prisoner in this cell didn't expect the other party to answer directly, and he was stunned for a moment.
Then he heard that the man seemed to be extremely young, and he was very surprised, and his whole body writhed forward, trying to see who was coming as quickly as possible through the narrow iron window.
"I'm Qi Zhuji, you should have heard my name. ”
Qi Zhuji seemed to know what he was thinking at this time, and said directly and coldly.
"Qi Zhuji?"
The prisoner in this cell repeated these three words, and then laughed with a little madness and disdain, "Who am I, Qi Zhuji, if I remember correctly, you entered the Nantian Courtyard three years later than me, then you still have to call me senior brother, and when I was in the Nantian Courtyard, I was much better than you, and you seem to have nothing to be proud of in front of me." ”
"The third year of the Heavenly Prison of the Southern Heavenly Courtyard, Xiao Yunfei, no matter how much I participated in the Zhongli War, how can you not compare to the military merits I obtained, how long have I been in the Southern Heavenly Courtyard, how long have you been in the Southern Heavenly Courtyard?" Qi Zhuji sneered disdainfully: "Even if I say so, you still think that you are my senior brother and perform better than me in the Southern Heavenly Courtyard, so how about you compared to Li Moxiao, who is the same year as you, and Wang Pingyang, who has been in the Heavenly Prison for five years?"
When it comes to bickering, Qi Zhuji seems to be a little deflated by Lin Yi, but for the rest of the people, he really rarely loses.
Before the man in the cell could reply, he had already rushed to say, "Since I have named both of you, you two should at least say something at this time, otherwise it will not cause me to lose my momentum." ”
His words were naturally said to Wang Pingyang and Li Moxiao beside him.
Wang Pingyang and Li Moxiao both smiled bitterly.
Wang Pingyang bowed slightly to the cell and said, "Senior Brother Xiao, I am Wang Pingyang. ”
The man in the cell was ready to speak, but when his voice was heard, there was silence in the cell.
Li Moxiao took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Xiao Yunfei, it's me." ”
"Great....Laughing?"
The young prisoner in the cell seemed to freeze for a moment, and even the chains on his body stopped making a sound.
After another breath, the chains on his body were softly roaring, and people could easily perceive that his body was no longer struggling and writhing at this time, but only trembling slightly.
Of course, Qi Zhuji understood the prisoner's mood very well, and he also knew that Li Moxiao's mood was also a little heavy at this time, but he didn't care, and continued sarcastically: "Xiao Yunfei, I know that your talent in the entire Southern Dynasty is indeed good, although it is not as good as Wang Pingyang and Li Moxiao, but if you are just a mediocre person, the Demon Sect will never find you, but you have just become what you are today because of your talent that is slightly beyond the level of ordinary people, what else can you be proud of?"
"You're taunting me?"
There was silence in the cell for a while, but after a while, the chain sounded loudly, and the prisoner named Xiao Yunfei roared loudly, "What qualifications do you have to mock me, if you change you, if the Demon Sect finds you and teaches you such exercises, if you don't cultivate, you won't become me?"
"Not necessarily. Qi Zhuji walked to the prison door, he didn't look through the window, but directly opened the iron cable of the cell door, and opened the cell door with a bang.
He looked at Xiao Yunfei inside face to face, stared directly at the eyes full of anger and viciousness in the messy straw-like hair, and still smiled: "You will be doomed before you know it, but not everyone will sink like you." ”
"Fart!"
Xiao Yunfei roared angrily, his hair stood on end, and a mouthful of spit with the sound of the wind sprayed straight into Qi Zhuji's face, "I know that the Demon Sect has passed on more than me, but how can all those people resist the temptation of this exercise, which of them didn't think about killing people to hunt for the true yuan later! Do you think that if the Demon Sect chooses you, you can resist this temptation? I know that we have sunk, but this is not our problem, this is just the conspiracy of the Demon Sect, he just did it on purpose to weaken the future strength of our south!"
Qi Zhuji turned his head to avoid this spittle, he was not angry at all, but joked with a smile: "Since you claim to be excellent, then you should always be patient, don't you want to think about why I am so confident to talk to you?"
Xiao Yunfei froze.
Qi Zhuji said more and more proudly: "It's very simple, now everyone knows that the Demon Sect tempted a lot of young talents in our south back then, taught them the death eating technique, and then these young people all degenerated into monsters who constantly kill people and hunt for true yuan, you are also one of them, but really not everyone is like this, of course I know that there are people who are not as depraved as you, so I say so." ”
Xiao Yunfei froze, his face distorted, and even his facial features seemed to twitch.
"Impossible!"
He roared," It's impossible, you're absolutely lying to me, how can anyone resist such a temptation, you don't know how simple it is to kill people to improve your cultivation, you don't know how pleasant it is to get cultivation in an extremely simple and rapid way, you are a cultivator, can't you imagine that just killing a person, just in an instant, the spiritual energy flowing into your body is transformed into true yuan, and the true yuan of the meridians that pour into your body like flowing water may be the result of your penance for months or even a year, who can resist this temptation?"
"What kind of aura, this kind of death-eating exercise, isn't it death qi, not corpse qi?" Qi Zhuji sneered mercilessly: "You just didn't cultivate to a certain level and were arrested, compared to the rest of those who were killed, your luck is better, the emperor wants to study this kind of exercise of the Demon Sect, so you can live until now, but even if you cultivate to a certain level, you will find that your body will probably decay faster than your true yuan." ”
Xiao Yunfei was about to roar subconsciously, but when he heard these last few words, he suddenly felt that there was a deep meaning in Qi Zhuji's words, and his body stiffened again.
Wang Pingyang shook his head.
He was no less sympathetic to Xiao Yunfei than Qi Zhuji, and he himself knew the taste of that temptation very well.
He couldn't bear Qi Zhuji to ridicule this former senior brother of the Southern Heavenly Academy like this again.
He didn't speak, just bloomed with some True Yuan aura.
Rumble!
Almost at the moment when he bloomed with his True Yuan aura, the air in the cell in front of him and Qi Zhuji suddenly exploded, and the chains on Xiao Yunfei's body were all out of his skin, stretching straight.
"You...."
Xiao Yunfei's entire body was also straight, and his gaze struggled to cross Qi Zhuji's body and fall to Wang Pingyang behind him.
Wang Pingyang nodded, "Yes, I am also one of the people chosen by the Demon Sect, but later I was lucky, I resisted that temptation, and I never practiced by hunting." ”
Qi Zhuji directly stepped aside, allowing Xiao Yunfei to see Wang Pingyang's entire body clearly.
Xiao Yunfei's whole body froze for a few breaths, and suddenly he screamed violently, "How is it possible! How is it possible! How can someone resist this temptation!"
Wang Pingyang didn't speak, just looked at Xiao Yunfei.
In his mind at this time, not only the picture of meeting Lin Yi appeared, but what filled his mind was the vivid life of the unknown Northern Wei girl withering in front of him, but the vivid vitality turned into death, into the picture of the power pouring into his body.
It was that kind of picture that, for a long time, became his salvation.
"How so?"
Xiao Yunfei suddenly cried.
His pride and ruthlessness were completely shattered by Qi Zhuji and Wang Pingyang.
"We're coming to you today to ask for a favor, but that's a polite way to put it. Qi Zhuji's voice sounded unceremoniously again, "Actually, in my opinion, it is for you to choose, we have developed a drug, which may be able to completely destroy the true yuan of the Demon Sect, or it is possible that after the true yuan in your body contains this medicine, the Demon Sect will absorb your true yuan, which will cause his true yuan to be broken and disintegrated, in short, this is like a kind of true yuan toxin against him, but the only people who can use it to try it are you and Wang Pingyang." But Wang Pingyang has cooperated with many trials of medicinal properties that are not particularly dangerous, and it has only reached this point, but this step even the best pharmacists in the world can't be sure what the result will be, the success rate may be half and half, if the test is not good, Wang Pingyang may die, so since there is you, of course we don't want Wang Pingyang to gamble on this half of the opportunity. ”
Xiao Yunfei suddenly stopped crying again, tears flowed down his face, but at this time, his face was extremely fierce, and his eyes looked like a murderous blade was about to erupt, "You want to use me to test the medicine!"
"Don't be so fierce. ”
Qi Zhuji said lightly: "Saying that this medicine has half a chance of survival, if the trial is successful, the true yuan in your body will completely disintegrate, you can survive, and you will not be able to condense the true yuan by eating death in the future, which is equivalent to complete castration, cut off your thoughts, although your cultivation will be exhausted in the future, at least no matter what, you will not become a sinking monster, and there may be decades to live, in these decades, you still have the opportunity to adjust your body and mind, maybe you can still live well." Even if you take a step back and think about it, if you fail the trial, you will die simply, and we can also make certain adjustments to this medicine based on the results of this drug test, this medicine is very close to success, you can think about it, if you die, we can finally use this medicine to deal with the Demon Sect, then we are equivalent to helping you take revenge. You also died a well-deserved death, and I can even ask those who write stories to write about your death as heroic and beautiful. ”
"Half a chance?"
Xiao Yunfei's face was a little less angry, he seemed to think about it seriously, and then said: "How can I trust you, who knows if it's half a chance, or a one percent chance?"
Qi Zhuji raised his eyebrows, according to his temperament, when this subtle change in his face appeared, it was when he began to taunt this person, but he didn't get a chance this time.
Because Xiao Yunfei suddenly laughed wildly again, "But even if it's a chance, I don't seem to have any choice, I'm bound by this, even if I refuse, I'm afraid you will come hard, in this case, it is better to obey you, and there is still a chance to live." ”
Qi Zhuji was a little surprised, "Yes, you have figured it out." ”
"Come on!"
Xiao Yunfei laughed loudly, his arms slightly outstretched, as if he was being slaughtered, but at this moment, before Qi Zhuji could react, there was a crackling sound, and a chain actually brought out a violent sound of breaking the air, like an arrow from the ground, shooting out of the shadows of the ground, piercing his lower abdomen.
One end of this iron chain was originally nailed to the rock below the ground, but at this time, this end had been secretly loosened by Xiao Yunfei, and he suddenly became troubled at this time, one end of this iron chain was only more than ten feet away from Qi Zhuji, and the speed was so fast that Qi Zhuji's body didn't have time to dodge, but the true yuan in his body naturally gushed out from the sea of qi sharply.
Xiao Yunfei's eyes at this time were flushed with bloodthirsty redness.
He didn't want to accept Qi Zhuji's proposal at all, he just wanted to kill Qi Zhuji and get more True Yuan, and then he would try to kill Wang Pingyang and Li Moxiao.
According to normal people's thinking, the chances of him being able to kill these people were extremely small, let alone escaping from the dungeon and escaping from Jiankang after killing these people.
But at this time, he only felt that the door of the cell was open, and even the people who were guarding the prison outside seemed to be dismissed, and he only felt that this was the only opportunity he had waited for so many years.
He didn't want to be an ordinary person at all, he just wanted to escape into the world again and continue to absorb fresh vitality.
At this time, Qi Zhuji was already subconsciously preparing to use Zhenyuan to take his blow, but at this moment, there was another cracking sound in the air.
A sword intent that didn't seem to fluctuate violently, but made Qi Zhuji tremble, had already arrived first and slashed in front of him.
This sword intent was extremely sharp in his perception, and it seemed to be able to cut off everything.
A soft roar was even muffled by the sound of this sword qi breaking through the air.
The fierce iron chain was like a rope of grass, and like an unreal shadow, it suddenly became weak, and became two pieces that fell from the air.
It was Wang Pingyang who made the shot.
At the same time, Li Mo laughed and sighed.
His hand flicked at this moment.
Several long needles flew out of his hand and pierced into Xiao Yunfei's body.
