A woman was holding a thick package in her arms. When she saw that no one was following her, she hurried inside.
The guard guarding the door blocked her way, "What are you doing?"
"My lords, two lords. My man stayed away all night last night. After asking me many times, I found out that he was arrested. Sir, can you let me go in and take a look? My man is weak and gets sick seven or eight times a year.
!”
The jailer glanced at the woman, then coughed twice.
The woman understood, and immediately took out two coins and stuffed them into the jailer's hand, "Thank you, sir." After giving the money, she also had to lose her smile. Who said she was just an ordinary woman with no money and no power?
"Come in with me. If you want to see the prisoner, you have to hold your head and nod."
After entering the prison, the woman was taken to cell leader Zhang.
Seeing this forty-year-old hobbit, the woman took out two more coins and placed them on his desk without waiting for him to speak.
Zhang Laotou put down the wine bottle in his hand, put two coins into his pocket, and asked with a drunken breath: "Who do you want to see?"
The woman bowed and said tremblingly: "Li Jingtian, my man."
"Li Jingtian?" The name instantly made Prison Leader Zhang sober up. He took the money out of his pocket and said, "Take the money away. Li Jingtian can't see you."
"Can't you see me?" Madam is like being struck by lightning. Under normal circumstances, only people who have committed serious crimes cannot be visited. Her man has always been an honest small businessman. He can make ends meet even if he works early and late. Moreover, he has always been weak.
, said that he would commit some serious crime, and the woman would not believe him even if she beat him to death.
But she still refused to give up, "My lord, my lord, my man has trouble killing a chicken, how could he commit such a serious crime!"
Zhang Laotou shook his hand, "Who said he committed a crime?"
"Didn't he commit any crime? If he didn't commit any crime, how could anyone say that he was arrested?"
Zhang Laotou slapped himself on the forehead. If it hadn't been for losing money at the gambling house last night, he wouldn't have drank so much, causing him to spit out the words he shouldn't have said.
"Why are you a woman asking so many questions? Just go back if I tell you!" Zhang Lao stood up with his head shaking. He was going to find a basin of cold water to sober up.
"My lord! My lord!" The woman knelt down directly, "Please, let me see my man. He is really weak. He will definitely not be able to bear the coldness in this prison!"
Zhang Laotou turned around and was about to go out. The woman was cruel and took out a bag full of money. "Sir, sir, this is my family's savings for half a year. All of them are dedicated to you. Please, let me see it."
Meet my man!"
"Don't worry, I'll leave after just one look."
The woman opened her bag again and again, "It's full of thick clothes and herbs he needs to eat. Without these things, he can't carry it. Just let me see him!"
Zhang Laotou only heard half of the woman's prayers, and more was the sound of the collision of coins.
Last night, he lost more than two hundred silver coins. If his tigress found out about this money, he might not be able to get in for a month.
However, he did not dare to turn a deaf ear to the instructions of the city lord Wei Gong.
In recent days, some crazy people have been imprisoned one after another. The place where they are imprisoned is in the death row at the deepest part of the prison.
The ground there is all made of bluestone slabs several feet thick, and the doors are all made of fine iron.
This group of people cannot escape even if they have extraordinary abilities.
Seeing Zhang Laotou's body paused, the woman quickly stood up and stuffed the money bag into his arms.
"My lord! My lord!"
Feeling the heavy weight in his arms, Zhang Laotou thought for a while and finally turned around.
"Just take a look, but you are not allowed to go in. Leave your things behind and leave!"
The woman was overjoyed and kowtowed repeatedly.
Under the leadership of cell leader Zhang, the woman passed through numerous fences and finally saw several completely sealed cells in a dark basement.
The cold air hit her face, and the woman couldn't help but shiver.
"I remind you again, take a look, put down your things and leave!"
"Um!"
There is a square opening on the fine iron cell door that is no bigger than your head. Through this, firstly, you can see what the prisoners are doing inside, and secondly, it is also convenient for delivering meals.
The opening was covered with an iron plate, and a large lock was hung on the iron plate. Zhang Laotou looked around, then found the key and opened the lock.
Uncovering the iron plate, Zhang Laotou said: "Just take a look here!"
The woman immediately stuck her head out, and after taking a look, she screamed and took two steps back.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Laotou asked.
"He...are they all dead?" The woman's tears immediately flowed out.
Old man Zhang was speechless for a moment, "It's so dark here, what else can they do except sleep, all you have to do is shout a few times."
The woman then pressed her breasts and looked inside carefully.
"Li Jingtian!"
"Li Jingtian!"
After shouting twice in succession, a figure slowly stood up in the corner.
They have been husband and wife for decades, and even if they can't see their faces clearly, the woman can recognize that the man standing up is her man Li Jingtian.
Seeing Li Jingtian just standing there, the lady shouted anxiously: "It's me, come here quickly, I'll see if there are any injuries. I also brought you some clothes."
Seeing Li Jingtian's figure slowly moving towards her, the woman continued to mutter: "Tell me, what did you do, and how did you end up in this place? You are such a careless person, are you going to do it again?"
Who have I offended? If it really doesn’t work, I have no choice but to ask dad to spend money to smooth things over. You, you, all the money I have earned over the years has been spent on you."
"I've brought you this medicine, and some clothes. Just hold on, I'll go find Dad later." As she said that, the woman opened the package.
Feeling that Li Jingtian was almost in front of her, the woman suddenly raised her head, holding the porcelain bottle containing pills that she had just found.
In front of her, it was clearly her man, but the woman felt her whole body trembling.
His expression was as cold as a dead man.
Suddenly, the woman saw his eyes...
"Ah!" screamed, and the woman was frightened and took several steps back.
"What's wrong?" Zhang LaoTou immediately came up.
At this moment, an arm stretched out directly from inside.
That was Li Jingtian's hand, but it didn't look like it.
On that arm, blood vessels were densely packed like centipedes.
He turned his wrist and pinched Zhang Laotou's neck tightly.
Zhang Laotou was speechless for a moment.
The woman was so frightened that she didn't think about why her man became so powerful. She rushed up to him and slapped his arm hard.
"Let go! Let go quickly! What are you doing? If you hurt the official or his family, it will be a big disaster!"
Suddenly, a stream of hot blood directly covered her eyes, and then there was a muffled sound, as if something was leaning against her body.
She suddenly opened her eyes, and that strange arm was still holding Zhang Laotou's neck, but his body seemed to be missing.
The woman lowered her head stiffly, her headless body leaning against her body.
On the bright red neck, bright red blood was still splattering.
The woman wanted to run away, but she was so frightened that she could not move forward no matter how hard she tried.
The hand loosened, but the next moment, two palms suddenly appeared on the opening of the fine iron prison door.
The hands were tearing hard, and a shocking twist appeared on the cell door.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The sounds from several sides became denser, as if countless bison were charging inside.
The huge noise startled the jailers outside, and they rushed in hurriedly.
At this moment, the iron door flew out instantly.
Behind the iron gate, figures slowly appeared one after another. Their eyes, with the exception of no doubt, were all filled with strange darkness.
...
The world of cultivation.
Above the clouds, sitting in the Wutong boat, were Jiang Xiaoyu, Chu Xue and Monk Pu Shan.
"Senior, what level has your cultivation reached now?"
Pu Shan thought for a while and said: "If you really want to judge by realm, I am only at the peak of Vajra now. The ultimate that all monks who have not overcome the tribulation can reach is the peak of Vajra/Mahayana."
Jiang Xiaoyu asked with some confusion: "Venerable Trinity has not survived the tribulation, but why do you feel that his strength exceeds that of many monks at the peak of Mahayana?"
"He is actually an exception. According to common sense, he should have survived the tribulation long ago. However, because of the painter's strokes many years ago, he has always stayed in Mahayana."
"So, even at the peak of Mahayana, the gap is huge. Of course, there are mainly three situations."
"Oh? Which three types?"
"The first type is naturally people like Wen Tianshi. They focus on one Taoist method and their practice level is also within the normal category. In the final analysis, they are the pinnacle of Mahayana in the traditional sense."
"The second situation is due to the fusion of multiple forces. There are many examples, such as me. My Taoist cultivation has now reached the peak of the Mahayana, and my Buddhist cultivation has been at the peak of the Vajra realm for many years. The two cultivations are close to each other.
In terms of body, compared to ordinary Mahayana peaks, I am still stronger."
"Another example is Miss Chuxue's father, Sect Leader Yunmanlou Yun." As he spoke, Pu Shan looked at Chuxue, who simply nodded.
"As far as I know, Master Yun's cultivation is improved by using secret methods to absorb the power of demon cultivators. His power is the fusion of various demon cultivators. Logically speaking, his cultivation should be stronger than mine.
Previous point. But..."
"but?"
Pu Shan smiled and said, "A monk does not lie. His shortcoming is also the power of the demon cultivator in him. Although that power is powerful, it is complex and violent. To completely refine it, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky. So.
, just now, I am still a little better than him."
"What about Sanyi? Does he fall into the third situation?"
