Su Wen looked around blankly, feeling as if a huge mountain was pressing on his chest. He had to use all his strength to take a breath. But before his eyes, the earth was falling apart, and magma was spewing out from the ground carrying thick black smoke.
Then, huge waves hung down from the upper reaches of the river. Many monsters that had never been seen before, and even more that could not even be named, climbed out of the abyss, volcanoes and rivers, and rushed towards the panic, crying, desperate and helpless, running for their lives.
of people.
Above our heads, the sky is also burning.
The familiar solemn Dharma images were torn into pieces, and their out-of-control spirituality turned into groups of never-extinguishing torches, lighting up the entire sky. And around these Dharma images, countless weird-looking monsters and corpses piled up like mountains.
However, the remaining monsters still occupied most of the sky, cheering for victory with their unique voices.
"Where...is this?! What's going on?"
Su Wen's heart trembled, and a deep despair emerged in his heart.
"call……"
There was a sound of wind coming from ahead, and he retracted his gaze and stared ahead.
In front of me is a deep and boundless ocean.
At the blurry end of his field of vision, a long bronze table appeared! When he saw the long bronze table, the long table occupied his entire field of vision!
There are six thrones of different shapes and heights on each side of the long table, and at the end of the long table, there is a seat that is larger and more magnificent than the ten thrones combined, standing tall.
There is no one on the twelve thrones, but on the main seat at the end, there is a body that is huge, as if stretched out, the body can occupy the entire ocean.
When Su Wen's eyes fell on the throne, the shadow above seemed to notice him, and cast a voice in his heart: "The end of the path is not eternal life, and sleeping is not death. In the mysterious eternity,
, even the eternal ending will perish, only the old...history...will live forever."
The sound sounded like thunder in Su Wen's mind, and the images in front of him collapsed one by one, falling into darkness. The countless monsters that emerged around him seemed to have discovered his traces, and gathered into a wave of anger, sweeping towards him.
Come!
"ah!"
Su Wen yelled, suddenly opened his eyes, and sat up.
"Meow!"
The gray cat pressing on his chest made a dissatisfied sound, wagged its tail, and jumped to the side.
"Su Wen, you wake up!"
Sun Yehou shouted in surprise: "Zhang?, Su Wen is awake!"
"here it is……"
Su Wen looked around blankly and recognized Sun Yehou in front of him. He also saw Zhang Xi staggering into the room carrying a bowl of something.
"Academy... back mountain, your residence!"
Sun Yehou helped Su Wen sit on the bedside. Knowing that he had many questions in his mind, he spoke before Su Wen could ask: "You have been in a coma for five days. The mountain chief said that you will wake up in a day or two..."
It’s so accurate!”
"Am I not in spiritual prison?"
Su Wen suddenly remembered that he was hit by a big talking disk, and he had no idea what happened after that.
"Hey, that was a few days ago... Hurry, drink this bowl of medicine first. This is the medicine that the mountain chief specially asked a doctor to give you!"
Zhang? He was still limping when he walked. Su Wen also saw that Sun Yehou was careful when moving, and the injuries on his body were probably not healed yet.
"What happened behind...?"
Thinking of the scene of the demons dancing wildly in the spiritual prison before coma, Su Wen was still frightened: "How is Uncle Liu?"
"...Liu San...Liu Stall is fine, but the inner factory was destroyed...You and he were both dug out from the rubble, and people from the capital came and took him away."
Zhang? smacked his lips and said, "You're lucky. When we dug it out, the appearance of Liu Stall's head was unrecognizable to anyone in the inner factory..."
"Originally, they wanted to take you away, but the mountain chief stopped you. In the end, they left you in the academy to recuperate."
Sun Yehou also added. But when it comes to what happened in the spiritual prison, the two of them knew nothing.
Su Wen nodded and pinched his eyebrows. It seemed that the inner factory still strictly controlled the news in the spiritual prison and did not leak out a lot of key information.
"How's it going in town?"
Su Wen had no choice but to change his question.
"After Hu Xiaoqian's death, the city returned to calm. However, after the governor was attacked and killed by Hu Xiaoqian, the city has been heavily guarded in the past few days, and Hu Xiaoqian's accomplices are still being searched for..."
Zhang? told Su Wen the information he had collected from the government and the private sector. Su Wen was stunned for a moment.
According to the official version, the person who stole the sunshine in Wuning City and caused countless murders was naturally Hu Xiaoqian and her gang. They conspired to carry out an evil promotion ceremony in Wuning City. They were discovered by the inner factory and the governor's office, and were eventually arrested.
During the arrest of Hu Xiaoqian and her gang, Hu Xiaoqian killed Xie Xie with vicious means. Xie Xie died heroically in the line of duty. It is said that the imperial court was also planning to give Xie a posthumous title for his loyalty to the country. It is said that the posthumous title is a certainty. Just look at
The imperial court finally decided how to seal the coffin of Governor Xie.
When Su Wen heard that the court was going to give Xie Lingyun a posthumous title, Su Wen was stunned for a moment. Then he slightly raised the corner of his mouth, and asked him to give Xie Lingyun a posthumous title. He would either be cruel or ugly, whichever one was vicious would be chosen.
Wanting a good posthumous title is too much. Ministers in the court who don't know the truth may do so, but the internal affairs will definitely obstruct it. The best result is that with his death, Xie Lingyun and his life will be quietly annihilated, or...
The internal factory finally exposed the so-called accusation, and then sealed the coffin and nailed him to the pillar of shame in history.
After a moment of confusion, Su Wen heard Sun Yehou say that the factory guards had worked together to kill Hu Xiaoqian and sealed off the city to arrest his accomplices. Over the past few days, many prisoners were caught one after another. I believe that Wuning City will be able to return to its former glory soon.
Calm down.
Su Wen smiled bitterly.
Who are Hu Xiaoqian's accomplices? It seems that many extraordinary people have escaped from the spiritual prison, and the inner factory guards are trying their best to arrest them. However, there are no large-scale riots in Wuning City, indicating that the situation is still under control. Thinking of this, Su Wen relaxed
One breath.
“Tuk-tuk!”
There was a knock on the door outside the yard. Zhang Xi went out to open the door and soon welcomed Yan Duo in, who was wearing a curtain hat.
"You guys go out, I have something to tell Su Wen."
Yan Duo seemed to have expected that Su Wen would wake up at this time. When he saw Su Wen sitting on the bedside, he was not surprised at all. Instead, he used a gentle tone and said words that he could not refuse to Zhang Yu and Sun Yehou.
"Okay, you guys can chat slowly."
Sun Yehou tugged on Zhang?'s sleeves and quickly ran away. Because of Hu Xiaoqian, the two of them were already in a state of social death in front of Yan Duo. They couldn't even lift their heads when they saw him. They didn't have to be in the same place as Yan Duo.
That's a relief.
"Yan...deacon?"
Su Wen hesitated for a moment, not quite sure what to call Yan Duo.
"Just call me by my name. I'm a few years older than you, so it's okay to call me Sister Yan."
Yan Duo motioned to Su Wen to stretch out his hand, and she gently rested it on it for a while. After judging his pulse, he said, "He's recovering well... Chief Qian Shan's methods are indeed powerful."
"What happened to Uncle Liu...and what happened in the spiritual prison in the end?"
"Uncle Liu... was taken away by the people above. They also took over the inner factory and the governor's office."
Yan Duo's voice was bitter: "The spiritual prison was completely destroyed... Most of the extraordinary prisoners inside died due to internal strife, and the rest basically ran away... and all the forbidden items in the spiritual vault were looted."
"call……"
Su Wen's heart sank.
He didn't expect that the truth of the matter would be like this.
"Where's Xie Lingyun?"
Apart from Liu Sandao's life and death, this was Su Wen's biggest concern. Although he saw Xie Lingyun's miserable appearance before he fell into coma, he still felt that a person like Xie Lingyun would not die easily.
"disappeared."
Sure enough, Yan Duo gave an answer that did not surprise Su Wen.
"Did you get eaten by the extraordinary being inside?"
But Su Wen still had a bit of luck in his heart. What if Xie Lingyun was eaten by the talking skeleton? At that time, he saw the skeleton grabbing Xie Lingyun's broken arm and refusing to let go.
"Probably escaped."
Yan Duo straightened the curtain and hat and said: "Uncle Liu was taken away for questioning. There are many things that we didn't have time to clarify to us. I can only ask you what happened in the spiritual prison."
"...The people above are going to embarrass Uncle Liu?"
Su Wen heard what Yan Duo meant.
"That's right." Yan Duo sneered: "There are even many people in the court who don't believe Uncle Liu's words and believe that Uncle Liu falsely accused Xie Lingyun. They even wanted to take you away, but were stopped by Chief Qian Shan. In the past few days, it should be
I will come to you to confirm the situation."
"They want...to ask me to change my testimony and perjury myself for Xie Lingyun?"
Su Wen understood what Yan Duo meant.
"Xie Lingyun is an official in the border area, and many people are closely related to him. If his behavior is confirmed, there will be many people implicated. And based on the situation at the scene, they felt that Xie Lingyun was dead, so they
He insisted that Uncle Liu had a feud with Xie Lingyun and took the opportunity to kill him in the spiritual prison, blaming Xie Lingyun for the fall of the spiritual prison."
"Don't distinguish between right and wrong, confuse right and wrong! Isn't this slander!"
Su Wen was furious.
"That's of course... Xie Lingyun is a famous scholar on the surface, and he has old friends in the court. He is probably a famous scholar and political strategist."
Yan Duo sighed.
Su Wen opened his mouth and had nothing to say. He finally understood that Xie Lingyun's plan to plot the spiritual prison not only left a large amount of evidence in the spiritual prison, but as long as he searched carefully, he would definitely be able to find more from his daily life.
There are many clues. But the people who clear Xie Lingyun's name are a group of masters who can confuse right and wrong and call deer into horses. No matter how much evidence Liu Sandao has, he can't defend himself.
"So what do we do?"
Su Wen asked with a frown.
"Uncle Liu said that Xie Lingyun escaped... In other words, as long as we find him, we can swell the mouths of those who confuse right and wrong in the court."
Yan Duo stared at Su Wen and said, "Uncle Liu also said... you are the one with the best brains in our factory. Whether we can find Xie Lingyun or not depends on you."
