Under the night, a carriage drove slowly along the main road of Yuyang City.
"stop!"
When the patrolling soldiers saw this, they immediately held the hilt of the knife at their waists, stopped in front of the carriage, and stared at the carriage eagerly.
At this time, a hand came out of the carriage, holding a sign and handed it to the defenders.
There are only three words on the sign [Huntian Prison]
Seeing the sign, the eyes of the leading defender tightened.
He immediately signaled to everyone behind him to let him go.
"Boss, let's just leave. Doesn't it mean that during the curfew period, except for the governor, even the family members of officials are not allowed to pass?"
The leader of the defenders glared at the boy fiercely and cursed: "You silly Belle? You don't know the word Huntian Prison? They are granted privileges by the emperor and there are no taboos. They are people who can be controlled by gods and immortals. We can't control them."
."
As he said this, he urged everyone to leave quickly: "Let's go, let's go away. These plague gods won't stop wherever they go. Let's go farther away. If they provoke any gods, don't affect us trash fishes."
The carriage went further and further away, heading straight towards the city gate.
"Master, since we are sure that Master Modu is inside, why don't we catch turtles in an urn."
On the carriage, Nie Haitang pinched the shoulder of his master Gu Peiyuan and asked curiously.
"Master, don't forget, the saint doesn't give you much time. When the time comes, the saint will blame you..."
Zhao Peng frowned and reminded.
However, there was no trace of sadness on Gu Peiyuan's chubby face.
He didn't even care about the worries of his three disciples.
He just waved his hand and said: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. I couldn't kill him back then because his energy was not exhausted. Now he is trapped in a dragon and his energy is as strong as the scorching sun. I can't kill him as a teacher. Since I can't kill him,
Why waste your efforts?"
"Master, you can't kill him either!!"
Zhao Peng and Li Xinliang were shocked when they heard this, and Nie Haitang pouted at the side: "Humph, I don't believe it! The world is so big, there are so many people who are Master's opponents, even the commander of the Shenwu Guard is no match for Master
, how can a mere evil demon be stronger than you, Master?"
"Yes, yes, master, please don't scare us!"
Li Xinliang hurriedly handed over the tea: "Master, you have been in charge of Huntian Prison for forty years. Looking at the three religions and nine schools in the world, there are several people who are your opponents, Master."
"Hmph, I think you are too smart and have too little talent. You underestimate the heroes of the world. Little do you know that in this world, there are people outside the world. Looking at today, I can only be ranked among the top five."
After saying that, Gu Pei Yuan seemed to have remembered something and frowned: "No, it should be the top six. They hid that old guy in Chongxuan Hall, this old thief too deeply, and gave him away accidentally."
forget."
Hearing what Gu Peiyuan said, the three people in the carriage looked at each other with great shock.
Zhao Peng couldn't help but ask: "Master, who is the best in the world?"
As soon as these words came out, Nie Haitang and Li Xinliang both pricked up their ears to listen. Gu Pei Yuan pointed to the southwest: "When Taizong was in power, he was the best in the world, and he was the old Taoist with a good nose in Longhu Mountain. He had been there for twenty years
No, I don’t know if this Niubi is still alive.”
Gu Peiyuan didn't say his name, and his words were full of ridicule and dissatisfaction.
Zhao Peng and the others already knew in their hearts who the master was referring to. They were probably Zhao Xingxuan, the old master of Longhu Mountain.
If this old guy is still alive, he must be one hundred and thirty years old.
While the four of them were talking, the carriage had stopped at the edge of the city wall. After getting off the carriage, the four of them climbed up the city wall along the steps and dispersed the soldiers guarding the city nearby. Sitting on the city tower, they could just see the direction of the prison.
At this time, Nie Haitang picked up the food box in his hand. After opening it, there were wine and vegetables inside. He put the wine and vegetables in place in a moment.
Gu Peiyuan was sitting here waiting, as if he was waiting for a good show to start...
On the other side, Xu Tong walked into the cell holding a lantern.
The smell in the dark cell was particularly pungent, mixed with the smell of human feces and stench, and was comparable to a sewer-like environment.
Many cells are empty.
After all, not everyone can be imprisoned in a place like a prison.
After walking around the prison, he found nothing out of the ordinary. Just as Xu Tong was wondering where the Modo leader would be hiding.
He heard someone behind him call him: "Zhou Xian!"
Xu Tong turned around and saw Lao Sun and another prison guard Kong San from before.
I saw two people walking over with lanterns: "Zhou Xian, I will retreat tomorrow. Zhang Tou said that from now on, I will leave the water prison to you. I will take you to the next water prison today."
"okay."
It just so happened that I had already explored this area, so I readily agreed.
The three of them did not go directly to the water prison, but returned to the warehouse first.
I saw a live chicken hanging in the warehouse.
"You must keep the things in this well in the future. They will be used every time you go to the water prison." Lao Sun took out a box from the corner, patted the box, and said to Xu Tong and Kong San.
Before Old Man Sun could open the box, Kong San could not wait to stand on tiptoes and look inside.
The water prison is a very evil place. Many prisoners died in it for unknown reasons. After Old Man Sun took over, the water prison became peaceful.
After so many years, nothing has happened.
Everyone said that Old Man Sun had some kind of treasure that was illuminated. If it weren't for this treasure, Kong San would not agree to take over the water prison.
However, when the box was opened, Kong San was immediately disappointed.
The box was opened, and the contents inside were clearly visible: an iron bucket and a wooden box.
There is also a stack of dark yellow Taoist symbols.
"Give!"
Lao Sun handed the two Taoist talismans to Xu Tong. Xu Tong took them and took a look. I don't know when the talismans were obtained. A corner was missing, and the cinnabar on them was also dull.
When the two of them weren't paying attention, they casually threw it into the prop book and took a look.
Useless Talisman:
(Note: I don’t know any evil person who randomly drew two ghost symbols to deceive people.)
Good guy, the last time I saw such a useless prop was the last time.
But then I thought about it, and it was right.
The resentment in this place makes me unable to open my eyes, let alone the talismans. If they were really effective, these two talismans would have been burned out by now.
But at a glance, Lao Sun and another prison guard Kong San, with their hands together and praying devoutly, could only imitate the two talismans and stick them on their bodies.
"Huh!"
At this time, Xu Tong's eyes suddenly flashed and he noticed that there were two things pressed under the box, and his heartbeat accelerated.
"How could it be this?"
Walking to the box, Xu Tong reached out and took out the two oily yellow papers at the bottom.
Under the dim light, these two paper notes reflected a delicate paint reflection, and after wiping away the dust on them, they became even more shiny.
"It's not wrong. Except for the slightly different printing and fonts, the other details are exactly right."
"Brother Sun, what is this??" Xu Tong asked Old Sun beside him knowingly.
"Oh, this seems to be some kind of yellow frame. I heard that it was burned to the dead. I heard that it is very popular in the land of Wuxi. I got it accidentally. It is quite interesting to look at it, so I kept it. You like you
Just take it."
Lao Sun said nonchalantly.
“Old Suntou, are these things really useful??”
Kong San looked at the paper charm attached to his body and couldn't help but look suspicious.
"Hey, why don't you listen to advice when you intervene? How can I harm you? How many people died in the water prison down there? The guy who was imprisoned down there three years ago is still in there and doesn't know whether to live or die. You
Think I lied to you!"
Lao Suntou scolded Kong San with an unhappy expression on his face.
Xu Tong's expression changed when he heard this, and he stepped forward and asked: "What, there are still people in the water prison who can live for three years!"
"Hmph!"
Lao Suntou shook his head, handed the iron bucket to Xu Tong, handed a steel fork to Kong San beside him, picked up the live chickens in the cage, sighed and led them down: "I am serious
I can’t do it anymore, otherwise I really can’t do this water prison thing for you.”
Then he walked in front: "I can't tell what is locked under this water prison. Some people say he is the bandit who caused trouble in Yuyang City three years ago, and some people say he is a crazy general.
, and some people say that he is a monster that drinks Maoru’s blood.”
"Buzz..."
Old man Sun took out the key and opened the cell door.
The three of them walked down the steps, and the fishy smell that hit their faces made Kong San feel nauseated, and he retched from time to time.
Xu Tong came to the nearby cage and took a look. The cage was dark and the water inside had dried up. He could see that there was a deep pit dug under the cell. There was an iron chain and a small hole in it.
The wooden stake was erected in the middle, and a person standing on it could probably maintain himself until the water was submerged in his chest.
Once the pit is filled with water, people can only soak their bodies in the cold water, with only one foot standing on a wooden stake, which is simply inhuman torture.
The three of them walked down the stairs, and Lao Sun motioned to Xu Tong to give him the iron bucket in his hand, and opened the lid of the iron bucket. Inside was a thick layer of white powder.
Xu Tong took a look and saw that it was lime. No wonder it weighed a lot in his hand.
Lao Sun sprinkled the lime as he walked.
Lime can disinfect, and in a place like this, it is indeed a means of disinfection.
"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding..."
Occasionally, there was a sound of iron ropes clashing in the cage, causing Kong San's expression to change again and again: "This place is too gloomy."
"Huh, where are we now? There is a prison in the back. The person I mentioned is locked in it. I will go over there later and I won't scare the shit out of you!"
Seeing how timid Kong San was, Lao Sun couldn't help but pointed to the front and said.
"What the hell!"
Kong Sanzui straightened up his back, but the muscles in his body were tense and his steps became smaller and smaller.
Seeing this, Lao Sun didn't want to pay attention to him, knowing that there was no hope for this kid, so he could only turn his head and said to Xu Tong: "Don't pay attention to him, Zhou Xian. Our profession can be regarded as an official. As long as your mind is upright, you are not afraid of evil spirits.
"
"well!"
Xu Tong pretended to be young and nodded, and the two of them strode inside while talking, while Kong San was kept far away.
"Don't walk so fast, I...I'm going to a hut!"
Seeing that Kong San couldn't stand it, and seeing that he couldn't keep up with the pace of the two men, he felt that the darkness around him became more and more terrifying. He shouted, ignored Lao Sun's shout, turned around and ran back.
"Hey, I knew this guy wasn't looking for information about the water prison. He just wanted to see that the water prison would get an extra three yuan of silver supplement every month. If he really wants to come to the water prison, sooner or later something bad will happen."
When Lao Sun heard Kong San's shouts, he couldn't help but smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Let's go, it's not that scary actually. The people locked inside have their bones tied with iron chains, so there's nothing to be afraid of."
As he spoke, Lao Sun took a lantern and looked forward: "Look, isn't that... it's..."
The last two words were still in Lao Sun's mouth. Before he could say them out, he saw Lao Sun's face suddenly turn pale. Xu Tong looked in the direction Lao Sun pointed and his heart skipped a beat.
I saw an empty cell, the door was open, and two iron hooks stained with blood were falling on the ground...
"Run...fast...run!!"
Looking at the iron hook thrown on the ground, Old Sun's eyes were beating and he shouted to run, but his legs seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move.
"Run quickly... run quickly... Zhou Xian, pull me, pull me to run..."
Lao Sun tilted his mouth and shouted.
But Zhou Xian in front of him seemed not to hear what he said. Instead of running, he walked to the cell and looked at the iron hook stained with blood on the ground.
His fingers were stained with blood: "It's fresh, the person is still there."
"Kekeke..."
At this time, the originally peaceful chicken on the side suddenly began to struggle and flap its wings desperately. It even broke free from the rope buckle under its feet, flapped its wings, and flew into the air.
The moment the chicken took off, a hand covered in blood quietly came out of the darkness, grabbed the chicken's neck, and pulled it into the darkness.
After a while, I heard a clicking sound of chewing, like a wild animal tearing apart its prey.
This was not the first time that Old Sun had heard this kind of sound, but only this time, it made his scalp numb and his hands and feet cold.
"Zhou Xian..."
Lao Sun's eyes widened and he wanted to call Zhou Xian, but Zhou Xian still ignored him. Instead, he stood up and walked up the dark corridor in front of him...
