Chapter 44 Betrayal

Seeing that he was stunned and asked twice. The more urgent he asked, the more disgusted Xu Xuan was. He deliberately made trouble with him, shook his head and said, "'Qiankun Yuanqi Pot' is not here with me, but was hidden on Mount Emei by Ge Zhenren."

Cheng Zhongfu's expression changed slightly, and he frowned and said, "Where is he hiding? Do you remember? Is he still in Jiu Lao Cave?"

At the last sentence, his finger strength involuntarily increased, pinching Xu Xuan aches. In the dim moonlight at the entrance of the alley, his eyes were burning, his face was half-cloud and half-clear, and he seemed indescribably strange, as if he had become a stranger.

For some reason, Xu Xuan suddenly remembered the Taoist priests he met on Mount Emei. He felt a sharp fear like a void. He felt vaguely unable to deliver the gourd to him. He calmed down and said, "Immortal Ge only said he was hiding in a most secret place. How could I know? Uncle, don't worry, in two days, the monster will be destroyed, and even if the demon sect is found, it will be useless."

Cheng Zhongfu murmured: "Both body and spirit are destroyed? Both body and spirit are destroyed?"

He narrowed his eyes, as if he was making an indecisive decision, slowly let go of his fingers and said, "Xuan'er, this matter is important, think about it carefully. Is the 'Qiankun Yuanqi Pot' really not on you? Or, you really can't remember where Ge Xianren hid it?" His tone turned gentle, his expression was solemn, and he returned to his usual familiar appearance.

Xu Xuan felt soft: "Maybe my uncle was just worried that Lin Lingsu would fall into the hands of the Demon Sect, so he was so anxious." It would be hard to accept that his closest uncle belonged to the same nose as those bulls; but if... what if... the throat seemed to be strangled by something, it would be difficult to breathe.

He shook his head, and before he could speak, he suddenly was hit by a heavy object on the back of his head, and Venus danced around, and he could not feel anything.

In the moment before he was unconscious, he could vaguely see the lanterns rotating in the long alley, the flashing figures, and Cheng Zhongfu's ice-like eyes...

"Wow!" The cold water was topping, and the cold was squeaky.

Xu Xuan shivered suddenly and woke up. Surrounded by stone walls, it was as thick as a well, and several dim oil lamps swayed brightly and darkly.

His arms were locked by iron chains, suspended in the air, and his waist and abdomen were soaked in cold water. When he shook his body a little, he felt unbearable pain. For a moment, he was shocked and dazed, and he couldn't tell where he was dreaming or waking up. Suddenly he remembered what had happened before, and he felt a trembling heart and shouted: "Uncle..."

"Save, save, save, save, save you!" A man in green threw the wooden barrel onto the ground and strode out from behind him, "Private kid, when I arrive here, the Jade Emperor can't save you!"

As he said that, he took a long whip of thorn from the stone wall and slashed it on Xu Xuan's head.

Xu Xuan's eyes turned black, and his whole head seemed to be about to explode. The hot blood suddenly flowed out. Before he could breathe, his face and body were slapped again, and the pain was as sharp as a split, and he could not help but roar.

The man shouted, "It's useless to call me the king of heaven! Guazi, call me "Grandpa", I may be able to leave you an inch of skin." While cursing, he waved his whip and beat him hard.

Xu Xuan has been pampered since childhood, so why has he been inexplicably guilty of such sin? If he had not been convinced of the Nascent Soul Golden Elixir, he would have fainted a few times long ago.

He was rebellious and strong by nature. Not only did he not beg for mercy, he was aroused by rage, and he didn't care who this person was. He laughed with pain: "Good grandson, I know my grandfather's skin is itchy, so I scratched my grandfather. Come again, come again, go up an inch...ah! Yes... Yes! It's here! It's here!"

The harder the man whipped, the louder he laughed. He ate dozens of whips like a storm. Even though the stone was opened and bloomed, he did not give in for a moment.

The man said "Huh", as if he didn't expect that the young man with tender skin would be so stubborn, and sneered: "Damn you, Immortal Banban, you are the stone in the pit, smelly and hard. I don't believe that I can't cure you!"

He threw down the whip, turned around and picked up an iron stick from the corner of the wall, and said, "Guawazi, since you like to laugh so much, I will make you laugh to the end!"

Xu Xuan was revive. He had heard from diners at home that there was a torture in the prison called "smile", which was to insert an iron rod into the prisoner's mouth and penetrate the stomach and intestines, making people feel so painful that they cannot survive or die. Since this person knew this method, was he a cruel prisoner? Then... wouldn't this become an official prison?

I remembered my father who was captured by the officers and soldiers, and my cold and strange expression, and for a moment I felt like falling into an ice cellar, my body was covered with coldness.

The man in green pinched his cheek, held the iron rod and wanted to penetrate it, but someone shouted, "Stop!" Xu Xuan turned his head and looked at him, as if he was killed by electricity, and the most worried and fearful thing finally came true!

The iron gate on the right wall creaked open, and a white-faced and long-bearded official walked slowly down the stone steps with his hands on his back, smiling all over his face. Two men followed him one after another, and a gilded cloth in front of him, with a calm expression, which was Cheng Zhongfu.

The white-faced and long-bearded official shook his head and said, "Zheng Jie-level, Mr. Xu is Cheng Zhenren's nephew. If you don't look at the monks and Buddha's face, how could you be so reckless?" He pretended to reprimand, but there was no point in blaming him for a smile on his face.

The man in green bowed quickly and said, "Little Zheng Hu, see Li Tixing and Lord Li." He bowed to Cheng Zhongfu again and said lightly, "Zhengren Cheng, although Zheng has a light position, he is also a court official. Naturally, he has to be a bowl of water to do what to do. If there is any offense, please forgive me."

Cheng Zhongfu replied, "How dare? Zheng Jie is upright and strict, and has a reputation, and everyone in Chengdu knows it. The Xu family colluded with demons and plotted against rebellion, so they should be interrogated strictly. Not to mention mere whipping, even if they were fed lead or burned, it was reasonable."

Xu Xuan was shocked and angry, and could hardly believe his ears.

Since Zheng Hu is in charge of prison, the surname Li should be the chief official of Chengdu Fulu. His father was arrested by the government for treason, and he was imprisoned in a confused manner. His uncle, who was always regarded as his close relative, not only did not try to rescue him, but instead took advantage of the situation and said such vicious and cold words!

Li Tixing nodded and smiled, "Zheng Cheng is very wise, reports the traitor, and captures the little traitor with his own hands. We all admire him very much. When the rebel party is punished and reported to the officials, the court will be rewarded."

Cheng Zhongfu said: "Mr. Li is too proud. Those who practice Taoism below do good deeds and accumulate virtues are the duty of their duty. They destroy relatives for justice, do not seek glory and wealth, but only hope for peace in the world..."

The two of them sang and acted as if they were pretending to be hypocritical. Xu Xuan's heart felt even more as if he had reached the bottom of the valley. He was so sad that he was about to explode. He shouted: "Cheng Zhongfu! How did our Xu family treat you badly? You are so... so slandering and framed! My father is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, does good deeds, and donates money, grain and medicinal materials to the court every year. What kind of rebellion do you rebel? What kind of rebellion do you plan?"

Li Tixing brushed his hem, sat in the chair in front of him with a smile, "Zhengren Cheng, shopkeeper Nan, it seems that Mr. Xu will not cry until he sees the coffin."

Another man in brocade clothes followed him slowly stepped forward and said aloud: "Xu Zhengting colluded with the Demon Sect and did many evil deeds. There are countless demons and sorcerers in the mansion. He talked about great debauchery all day long. We guys have been dissatisfied every day. Everyone can prove it. He bought the abandoned garden by the West Lake and hid the demon queen in the tomb. He ate hundreds of boys within a few years. Half a month ago, he killed dozens of Qingcheng Taoist priests and Jinshan Temple elders. Even Zhang Yanei, the son of Shangshu, was almost killed by them."

After a pause, he said, "The traitor Lin Ling is in trouble and is confusing the world. He is conquered by various Taoist and Buddha sects on the top of Mount Emei. In order to rescue this traitor, Xu Zhengting did not hesitate to let his only son pretend to be sick and ask for medicine for medicine... Cheng Zhenren and Nan knew the details of these. The iron evidence is as strong as a mountain, how can they be cunning?"

Xu Xuan laughed furiously. These people really came for Lin Lingsu!

Li Tixing called this person the shopkeeper Nan, and he must be Nan Baotang, Chengdu, whom his father relied most. His father was open-minded and selfless, generous and kind all his life. Unexpectedly, he was betrayed by one close relative and the other close friend, and he suffered this catastrophe!

Zheng Hu shouted, "The green hook baby, you dare to laugh until you die!" He waved the iron stick and wanted to slash it on his head.

Li Tixing waved his hand and said, "This dynasty has many lenient punishments. Even if it is a thief, he should give him the opportunity to reform himself and make meritorious contributions. As long as Mr. Xu truthfully explains the whereabouts of the thief Lin Lingsu, Ben Tixing will file a petition for the official family to be punished, and exiled to Lingnan to observe the future."

Xu Xuan was filled with grief and anger and laughed: "Mr. Li, you look down on me too much. Xu Xuan is just a yellow-haired child with a stinky breast. He has stepped out of Lin'an Mansion for the first time. What kind of demonic sect do you know? But my uncle thought about practicing and achieving enlightenment every day, and he used all the best. This time, he took the opportunity of getting sick and volunteered. After entering Emei, he disappeared without a trace. It was very suspicious. If you want to ask about the whereabouts of the demon, you might as well give him a hundred killing sticks to watch the effect."

Cheng Zhongfu said lightly: "Xuan'er, Lord Li is still young, and he gives you the opportunity to reflect on yourself. You are all wise. You colluded with Ge Changgeng to steal Lin Lingsu, causing Mount Emei to suffer a tragedy of hundreds of miles. All Taoist and Buddha's sects can prove it. Besides, a few days ago, you were still pale and thin and dying. Besides Lin Lingsu's "blue-branched body", what magic can make you have such a transformation?"

The lights shone in his eyes, as bright as ghost fire, and said word by word: "The shame of Jingkang, that monster is unforgivable, and it is actually the most rebel thief in the Song Dynasty. If you have anything to do with him, it will be a death sentence. If you want to protect hundreds of lives of the Xu family, quickly tell us the whereabouts of the 'Qiankun Yuanqi Pot'."
