Chapter 5 The Elder of the Demon Gate (Part 2)—Super Assassin (Part 1)
Long Ying knew exactly what was going on and had no words to answer.
The fat father-in-law dragged him back to the small bridge just now, stopped, grabbed his hand, and his true energy burst out, searching his meridians with the soft and delicate true energy just like the time at the barren valley stone house, which was even more meticulous than that inspection.
, after a while, Ju Zhen let go and said in disbelief: "You still don't have any martial arts skills. The devil planted in the Taoist heart is really extraordinary. From what I see, you have reached the state of 'creating a demon'."
Long Ying said in astonishment: "How could my father-in-law know how to form a demon?"
The fat father-in-law didn't answer him. He pondered for a moment, and then said in a shocking tone: "You must escape!"
Long Ying said happily: "Why did my father-in-law suddenly change his mind? Didn't you say that I had no chance? You...why are you willing to help me?"
The fat father-in-law stared at him, with a determined look in his eyes, and said solemnly, word by word: "Because you are the last hope of my Holy Sect. The situation has not changed. In the end, you cannot escape the fate of being captured, but you can
Use the vast magical power of the demon species to buy as much time as possible. Once you reach the level of becoming a demon, you will greatly increase your ability to deal with Wu Zhao."
Long Ying let out a breath of cold air and said in disbelief: "My father-in-law is actually from the Demon Sect. Then she...she"
The fat father-in-law took a deep breath and said bitterly: "Just know it in your heart, don't say it out loud, and don't tell others casually. The arrangement of her birth is so clever, everything is well-founded. Alas! When the late emperor was seriously ill, she
I thought it was just a window-dressing to send out the "Dang Mo Xi" to attack the Holy Sect, and the purpose was to please Baidao Wulin, who followed Cihang Jingzhai's lead. Little did I know that she did what she said, gathering the power of the government and elites from various gangs to
The thunderous force uprooted the Holy Gate."
Then he sighed and said: "The first one to bear the brunt is actually the Yingui sect that she and I belong to. Since Wu Zhao knows the six ways of the two sects of the Holy Sect very well, and with the overwhelming strength, the Holy Sect is no match for her. She is very ruthless! Really ruthless.
!”
Long Ying asked: "My father-in-law has no objection?"
The fat father-in-law said dejectedly: "She was waiting for me to object so that she could find an excuse not to kill me. She has always had special feelings for me. I had no choice but to play dumb and praise her for being willing to cut off her arms for the sake of the overall situation. But she is better than anyone else.
She understands me just as I understand her. I volunteered for this trip, and she didn’t want me to suspect that she had the intention to kill me, so she agreed.”
Long Ying said uneasily: "If my father-in-law helps me escape, how can I hide it from her?"
The fat father-in-law said lightly: "Her mentality is very subtle. She would leave the vanity of killing the last person of the Holy Sect to me to thank me for risking my life to help her over the years. Maybe I guessed wrong, but what's the big deal?
Yes? My father-in-law is seventy-two years old. What is the difference between dying at the age of seventy-three and seventy-four?"
Long Ying said: "Father-in-law, why don't you escape with me?"
The fat father-in-law smiled bitterly and said: "If I were as old as you, I would leave with you even if I knew I was going to die. Now I will send you to Junchen, that treacherous boy, and I will talk to you after I think about it clearly."
After Lai Junchen received Long Ying from his fat father-in-law, he pretended to be an old friend and took him to a small hall in the west of the house to eat and drink. Long Ying had not had a grain of rice in his stomach for more than ten hours. Of course you are welcome.
He dismissed the bragging about the erotic history of a brothel by the cool official who accompanied him. When he mentioned the popular style of female Taoist priests in the west and east capitals of Chang'an and Luoyang, he became slightly interested and asked: "Then the Taoist temple has become a brothel."
Lai Junchen showed an ambiguous smile and said seductively: "It's not a Taoist temple, but a women's temple. It's very different from the brothel. Brother Ying will know once you try it."
Longying was no longer interested in listening anymore. After eating, he was taken into custody in a small stone house in a nearby garden. There was only one bed and a chamber pot. The only door had a peephole, and people were looking through it from time to time. The outside of the house was heavily guarded.
The lights are not allowed to be turned off inside the house, and the guards are impeccable, but to do this as a prisoner is considered quite good.
He was lying on the bed, his thoughts were up and down, and he was sorting out the thoughts that were overwhelming due to too many things happening.
When the news came that the entire Yingui sect had been executed, Du Ao, who had always taken Wu Zhao's "demon-driving" lightly, woke up and knew that a disaster was coming.
Although the Yin Gui Sect declined after the legendary figure of the Demon Sect, Huan Huan, disappeared, it had a deep foundation and was like a centipede insect, dead but not stiff. After Huan Huan suddenly appeared, he returned the "Tianmo Book", and then officially broke away from the Yin Gui Sect.
, the Yingui sect was obviously on the verge of a renaissance, but it was unexpected that it could not bear the attack given by Wu Zhao as the "Dang Demon Group".
It also puzzled Du Ao, why could Wu Zhao easily accomplish what the imperial court and Wulin had wanted to do since the Han Dynasty? What's more, since Li Shimin ascended the throne, the various factions of the Demon Sect have been more cautious than ever before.
.The Holy Emperor's Mansion moves every three years.
Du Ao finally decided to escape overseas to avoid the limelight. Together with his seven apprentices and Long Ying, they traveled day and night, sneaked to Jiangling, bought a boat, and sailed eastward. Before they passed Liyang, they found traces of enemy ships. Du Ao then summoned Long Ying.
He walked into the cabin and said with a solemn expression: "Xiao Pu! Now I hand you the holy book of our sect wrapped in tarpaulin. For this, you must swear the holy sect's oath and never open it. No matter how powerful the other party is, you don't know.
There is your presence. Later, when I and the senior brothers appeared on the deck to attract attention, you took the opportunity to slip into the water and dive to the right bank. Follow the instructions I gave you and wait for us at the designated place for five years. We have not seen you overdue.
, just burn what I gave you. But if everything goes well, we will come back to you after two or three years of delay overseas."
These words seemed to have been spoken yesterday, and in the blink of an eye it was today five years later. The fat father-in-law was right, time has passed and there is no difference at all.
After Long Ying landed, he fled for his life. He thought he was out of danger, but the journey was boring. In addition, he loved books as much as his life, and he even thought that the oath he was forced to make could not be counted. For example, the debt note he was forced to sign was not true.
I owe money, but I can't resist my curiosity. I also think that reading a page is not a violation, it just lets me know what I am carrying.
Unexpectedly, when he opened the first page, what attracted him was not the original ancient scroll, but three sentences written in cinnabar: "Never read my annotations, because I don't want you to repeat the same mistakes I made to Yutian, and end up in a place of eternal disaster."
talk.
Any other demon sect leader would have definitely stopped when he saw Xiang Yutian's warning. Unexpectedly, he was playing into Long Ying's hands, and he deceived himself by thinking: "There should be no problem if I just read Xiang Yutian's annotation without touching the original text."
It's okay not to look at it, but once you look at it, it's out of control.
Xiang Yutian is a man with superb knowledge and unconstrained ideas. His breadth of knowledge, wide range of travels, and broad mind are beyond ordinary people's imagination. It's amazing how he can experience so many people and things in his short life. Du Ao's knowledge is considered to be
Quite good, compared to Xiang Yutian, it is the battle between Yinghuo and Haoyue. What excited Longying the most was when he finished reading Xiang Yutian's hundreds of thousands of small characters written in cinnabar throughout the book except for the sixth chapter.
From a few subtle hints in it, we can see that he is the first person in the history of the Demon Sect to become a demon breeder.
At this time, he didn't care about anything else. He forgot everything and studied hard. Subtly, Xiang Yutian controlled the development of his temperament.
Thinking of this, the sound of footsteps penetrated the eardrums from outside the house.
Who disturbed his dreams so late at night? Could it be that Princess Taiping changed her mind and apologized to him?
The person who came to see him was Lai Junchen. He looked strange and waited outside the door. A man came in and sat beside the bed and asked, "Why did Brother Ying offend the princess? She is considered a good-tempered woman in the palace. Please be kind to her."
Long Ying, who was lying on the bed with his head resting on his hands, said nonchalantly: "It's no big deal, she wanted to seduce me, but when I wanted to..."
Lai Junchen's expression changed and he interrupted: "Please! Please don't go on. Let people know that I have heard it. I am sure that the junior officials were either torn apart or cut in half, or even burned, cooked, or had their noses cut off or their tongues amputated. They were also tortured by castration." What’s worse, what will you bring to the brothel in the future?”
Long Ying said angrily: "That's what you want to ask again." Seeing that he was still panting with fear and almost dying, he smiled and said: "You are indeed very good at torture, and you can tell a lot of tricks casually."
Lai Junchen smiled bitterly and said: "I rarely appreciate people, but I really appreciate you, Brother Ying. If I were in your situation, how could I still keep joking like you and playing games in the world. For me, it is the most difficult thing to deal with. It’s people like you who can’t figure out your weaknesses.”
Long Ying became curious and said: "You are a master of torture, tell me! What is the most difficult torture?"
Lai Junchen replied without thinking: "The most cruel and inhumane thing is Ling Chi. The key lies in the word 'chi'. One knife after another, the flesh on the body is cut off piece by piece. Even the strongest and unyielding person will cry out for death."
Long Ying shuddered, stood up from his seat, and said in shock: "I definitely can't bear this." Then he said: "Why on earth did you come to see me?"
Lai Junchen smiled bitterly and said, "Just now, the princess and the fat father-in-law summoned the junior official. The princess asked the junior official what kind of punishment can make you suffer a lot without harming your body very much."
Long Ying lost his voice and said: "What?"
Unexpectedly, the beautiful princess holds such a grudge, and saying the wrong thing can lead to serious consequences.
Lai Junchen said: "The junior official proposed a little trick of 'water disaster' to the princess, but she was not accepted."
Long Ying asked curiously: "What is water calamity?"
Lai Junchen took the trouble to explain in detail: "It means stripping the person naked, falling into a small stone prison that is almost sealed, and injecting knee-deep sewage. Don't underestimate this seemingly innocuous criminal law. For those aristocratic families who think they are superior and arty, The disciples had the most miraculous results, and the one who lasted the longest in my memory was only Xu Guangjing for five days."
Long Ying could imagine how unbearable it was. Fortunately, the princess did not accept it and finally had some conscience. He asked with a thought in his heart: "Is your lord born in a poor family?"
Lai Junchen nodded and said: "Not only did I come from a poor family, I was also a poor family within a poor family. Fortunately, my late father sent me to the famous Zhongli Academy without having to pay." Then he became excited and said: "The situation is different now. In the past, the opportunities were all high. However, since the Holy Spirit has implemented virtuous policies and has been determined to promote the children of us poor families, almost all the people recommended by Zhongli Academy have been appointed by the Holy Spirit according to their talents and even personally reviewed. Today they are commoners from a humble family, and tomorrow they will be high-ranking officials and nobles. I don’t know how glorious it is. Alas! It's a pity that I was not recommended. The road is too far, so I have to give Brother Ying a small punishment. I'm really sorry, the junior officer is just following orders."
