The next morning, Sun Huo woke up early and tidied himself up a little. He was so peaceful all night last night, and he didn't even have the slightest feeling of being spied on, nor did he notice it.
The noise of someone coming and going nearby was really beyond his expectation.
Just when Sun Huo thought about the whole thing from beginning to end again, but still had no clue, there was a "bang bang" knock on the door outside.
"You're here so early?" Sun Huo frowned slightly, feeling a little hard to understand. Although most immortal cultivators would work day and night because they focus on cultivation, but when it comes to welcoming guests and visiting friends,
But there is no mistaking the time. Something is out of the ordinary. Could it be that something unexpected happened?
With such doubts, Sun Huo hurriedly went downstairs for fear of causing trouble. When he opened the door, he saw a young man in his twenties standing outside.
It seems that he did not expect that the person in the building would come out so quickly and quietly, and he was also a big man. The young man was stunned in place for a while and was speechless. The scene felt a bit embarrassing, Sun said.
Huo coughed slightly subconsciously, and he suddenly came back to his senses.
"Junior, junior Xiao Yue, I have met senior Sun. Please..."
"Wait, your name is Xiao Yue? Which word is 'Yue'?" Sun Huo's mind suddenly stirred, and he quickly interrupted the nervous and stuttering words of the young man in front of him, feeling a little unbelievable in his heart.
Expectations.
"Replying to the senior, the junior's name is the word "yue" for the mountain peak. Is there anything wrong?" It seemed that he did not expect that the person in front of him would ask this question. The young man subconsciously took half a step back, and then promised
Nordi responded.
Although it didn't feel like a coincidence, after hearing the negative answer, Sun Huo was still a little disappointed, but it was hard to show it in front of the young man. So he had to look indifferent.
He turned to look at the flowers and plants beside him and said calmly: "It's nothing, I just think your name is not common, so I just asked casually. By the way, what did you want to say just now?"
"Well, well, that's it. The Third Master has ordered me to come here to lead the way for my senior. Please go to the dungeon to meet and discuss." Because the place you are invited to go to will really give people a bad association, so this is
A young man named Xiao Yue lowered his head, not daring to look at Sun Huo seriously.
"Oh, then lead the way." Sun Huo didn't think much about this, he just waved his hand and agreed, and then followed Xiao Yue slowly.
I don't know whether it was because of prior instructions or because there was a no-fly rule in the clan, but the young man took Sun Huo directly from the air without any weapons, but walked through many courtyards and corridors, and finally came to a portal-shaped place.
It's like a tiger's mouth. The sun has risen at this moment, but the surroundings are abnormally gloomy and frightening.
On the way, Sun Huo casually asked Xiao Yue where the prison was. According to his introduction, this was the prison set up by the Xiao family. Some heinous people were imprisoned, but who exactly were imprisoned in it?
How much, he didn't know. Not only that, if any of the clan members violated clan rules and family laws, they would usually be sent here to be punished. Therefore, ordinary people would not be willing to set foot here casually.
At this moment, Xiao Zhuang had already greeted him from the steps with a smile on his face. Just seeing Sun Huo's clear eyes without a trace of confusion, and not even smelling the slightest smell of alcohol from his body, he secretly suppressed even more fear in his heart.
.
After greeting him warmly, he turned around and scolded the young man: "You bastard! I asked you to wait for Fellow Daoist Sun to get up before leading him over. You didn't even look at what time it was, and you directly disturbed him.
Rest for the honored guest." Upon hearing this, Xiao Yue was immediately panicked, leaned over and repeatedly apologized and begged for mercy.
Seeing how pitifully the young man was being reprimanded, Sun Huo couldn't help but said unbearably: "Master Xiao San made a strong statement. I had already stood up when he came over. He really didn't bother me, so please don't blame this brother."
Son."
"Since fellow Taoist Sun has said so, let's forget about it for now. Why don't you hurry up and thank me, senior?" Hearing Sun Huo actually begging for mercy, Xiao Zhuang paused and continued.
After watching the young man thank him and send him away as if he was being amnesty, Xiao Zhuang said to Sun Huo very politely: "It's still early, how about fellow Taoist follow me to Yinluxuan for some refreshments, and then we can talk
Is it okay to get down to business?"
They had already arrived at the place but still had to push back the irrelevant details of another life. Sun Huo frowned secretly in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm. He cupped his hands and responded politely: "Master Xiao San is so polite. Thank you for last night."
It is a great honor for me to entertain you, but it is really inconvenient to bother me more. The sect’s mission is most important, so it is better to complete it first. Thank you for your help.”
Xiao Zhuang was slightly startled, as if he did not expect that Sun Huo would refuse and go straight to the point. Then he immediately reacted and laughed loudly: "Fellow Taoist is a cheerful person who cares about the sect.
, I am being presumptuous, and I hope you will forgive me. Please come with me."
After saying this, Xiao Zhuang took the lead and walked up the steps. At the same time, he took out a black disk and held it in his hand while muttering something. Without much effort, he pressed the disk against a groove on the stone door with his backhand.<
/p>
I saw the red light of the disk shining brightly, and it actually rotated forward or backward for several weeks. Then the rugged stone door quietly opened inward, and a cold wind blew in, revealing a not very bright and
A sloping downward passage.
Sun Huo couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly and stepped forward, looking around curiously. Although he didn't see any guards coming or going, he still felt the spiritual energy fluctuations of the magic circle from around him. Obviously, the protective power here was not what it seemed.
It sounds so simple and weak.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"Fellow Taoist, please." Xiao Zhuang said sideways with a smile, then walked ahead and entered. Seeing this, Sun Huo chuckled somewhat self-deprecatingly, shrugged and followed closely.
The passage seems to be made of large square stones. It is very spacious, and it is more than enough for five people to walk side by side. There is a stone pier every few feet away, with a brazier on top for lighting. But I don’t know what kind of method is used in it.
When Sun Huo looked at the material, the flames that came out were actually a charming green color, and he didn't feel a trace of heat radiating out. It was so weird that it made people feel chilly inexplicably.
On both sides of the passage, Sun Huo did not see the so-called cell room. On the contrary, there would be a bifurcated corridor every long or short distance, and there would be a turning point after only ten steps.
There is no way of knowing what is at the end.
After walking hundreds of steps like this, Sun Huo saw Xiao Zhuang stop in front of a corridor and turned around to look at him.
"Fellow Daoist Sun, the person we agreed with is here. You can meet him if you go in directly. However, I heard yesterday that you don't know this person. It doesn't matter if you see him or not. Why don't you just return here?"
It felt very unexpected. Sun Huo didn't expect that the other party was still trying to persuade him to give up at this time. But in public and private terms, there was no reason to stop there. After thinking about it and thinking about the key, Sun Huo said with a smile: "
Thank you Master Xiao San for your kindness. It’s just that the sect has a destiny, so it’s better for me to meet you first. If you ask me afterwards, I can’t have anything to say in reply.”
Xiao Zhuang frowned slightly when he heard this, and then immediately relaxed, "Since my Taoist friend has made up his mind, I won't say anything more. I'll just wait for you here." After saying this, others said.
Then he took two steps back to give way to the corridor, and stood with his hands tied and watched.
Although he was doubtful about Xiao Zhuang's strange words and deeds at this moment, Sun Huo still bowed his hand to him politely and walked into it.
Turning the corner, Sun Huo saw at a glance a blue light curtain in front of him, blocking the scene behind him. At the same time, his spiritual thoughts could not penetrate through to sense. After hesitating, he casually took out a short dagger.
, gently reached forward and touched it. Unexpectedly, the dagger pierced the light curtain effortlessly and then retracted it. Nothing unusual happened.
At this moment, he wanted to go back and ask what was going on, but Sun Huo felt that he could not save his dignity, and he also felt that there should be no danger, so he bit the bullet and bumped into it.
A feeling of freezing water pouring over his body passed by in an instant, and Sun Huo's people had already passed through the light curtain. But when he saw the scene in front of him clearly at the first glance, he immediately covered his mouth and almost screamed out.
A naked man with disheveled hair, whose face could not be seen clearly, and whose body was covered with blood and no intact flesh could be seen, was locked around his waist by a pair of rings covered with sharp barbs that had already been partially pierced into his flesh, and there were four more.
Iron chains extended from the ring and were nailed to the surrounding walls, hanging it in mid-air. Not only that, the man's hands and feet were all severed, and the bones at the break were vaguely visible. If it weren't for the heaving of the chest,
, he will think that there is a dead person in front of him.
Although he had taken other people's lives in order to protect himself, Sun Huo asked himself that he couldn't do it to torture a living person like this. Such horror made him freeze in place and his mind went blank for a moment.
I have forgotten the purpose of coming here.
"Wangbagaozi, I'm too scared to come here." At this moment, an extremely weak voice sounded.
Hearing this, Sun Huo suddenly came back to his senses, which also aroused a bit of arrogance and anger in him. So, he immediately put down his hands and secretly pinched his flesh behind his back, snorted heavily, and plucked up the courage to ask
:
"Who are you?"
There was silence on the other side, with no intention of answering.
