Chapter Seventy-Six: The Treasure of the Marquis of Wu
"Huh, old fellow, I haven't heard you speak for many years, I thought you were dumb, it seems that you are very interested in this kid, what, what do you want to say?"
The corners of the red-robed woman's mouth provoked a playful arc, and she grabbed my hand but didn't let go of it.
"You young people who don't know how to respect the old and love the young, it's so uneducated, you have locked up an old thing like me in this cold place for so long, and you don't know how to send me some warm babies and other warm bodies, and there is no humanity, this kid is very close to me, he can play chess, and the old man is regarded as a bosom friend, so he stays here with me!" Duan Tianya shook his head and said.
There is no monitoring equipment in the prison, and the previous installation was inexplicably damaged by Duan Tianya, anyway, it is heavily defended here, and they are not afraid of Duan Tianya running out, so they didn't know about the conversation between Duan Tianya and me in it before.
"Hmph, you are just an outcast in the hands of our Mercy Society, what qualifications do you have to make a request, shut your mouth, and honestly wait here for death!" said the red-robed woman disdainfully, and she was going to hand me over to the black-robed man.
"Since this kid came in yesterday, I suddenly became happier, thinking of a lot of things from before, such as where to put the map of Wuhou's tomb, and some things you want, maybe this kid has been with me for a long time, and I am even happier, so I will tell you these things!" Duan Tianya leaned in the cage, swaying Erlang's legs gracefully.
When the two red and white girls heard this, they glanced at each other, and their grip on me couldn't help but loosen a little.
They were very interested in the words of the old man's mouth, the stakes were very high, and they couldn't be the masters with their identity, so they immediately set their eyes on the black-robed man.
"Okay, let's just let the two of them communicate for a few days, and I'll be here in seven days, and if you don't get the clues I want, you'll all be punished more severely!" the black-robed man's terrifying voice sounded again.
The two red and white girls bowed and saluted, put me down, and all three walked out.
I secretly looked at Duan Tianya and was very grateful, but I understood that he let me stay because of his little calculations, and he didn't really want to be nice to me.
"Hey, boy, I saved you just now, even if you don't appreciate it, worship me as a teacher, at least you have to say thank you!" Duan Tianya patted the iron railing inside, very dissatisfied with my salty attitude.
"Quiet!" I still pretend to be B.
"You ......" Duan Tianya was so angry that he didn't have a problem with me.
In the end, he laughed angrily and said: "I don't see it, you kid also has a lot of character, just like you as a temperamental old man, you don't worship me as a teacher, but I want to accept you as an apprentice, you can't escape from the palm of my hand." ”
The conditions that the old man put forward for them did find a respite for me, but seven days was too short to be enough at all, and I don't think Duan Tianya would tell these people the secrets of the treasure for me, if it was so easy to tell it, he would not be locked up here for more than twenty years.
In the days that followed, I spent the days struggling and suffering, the temperature here was too low, it was so cold that people couldn't sleep, of course, I was not in the mood to sleep, I only had the idea of continuous cultivation.
There are only a few lights on the walls in the prison, and the change of time is not visible.
I practiced day and night, there will be someone here every day to deliver food, the door is not open, the food is delivered with a robot car, just enough to drive in through the narrow window.
The old man's meal was small, only half or less a day, and I consumed too much physical energy to eat one at all, so he was kind enough to give me the rest of the meal.
This is the only source of food for me to live, and I don't refuse, and after eating, I devote myself to endless cultivation.
The second level of the ghost hand mastery, corresponding to the birth gate, is a key part of the inheritance of the past and the future, and the improvement of strength.
According to the commentaries of many predecessors, the cultivation of this level is very important, lay the foundation for the rest of the door, expand the potential of the birth door, as long as the cultivation of this level is good, the future road will be easy.
During my cultivation, Duan Tianya would also point out a lot of valuable experience.
According to him, the most important thing in the ghost doctor is medical skills, and the ghost hand is only an auxiliary exercise, and it is not very effective against the enemy, but its wonderful use is to enhance the potential of the body and improve the qualifications.
"The ghost doctor is famous for his medical skills, so each stage of their exercises has a corresponding elixir as an auxiliary, you are locked up here, it is impossible to take the elixir, this will make your cultivation improve very slowly, but there are also great benefits, after all, taking medicine to improve your strength depends on the stimulation of drugs, it is better to absorb the essence of heaven and earth, strengthen the body to be real, with my guidance, you will take a lot of detours, the artistic conception will break through first, and then you will have the strength to improve, every word I said, you and ponder repeatedly in your heart!"
Duan Tianya would talk a lot every day, and sometimes his mouth would be dry and he would complain.
I generally take a dismissive attitude towards this, but I attach great importance to it in my heart, and I take every word he says to heart, and I dare not forget it.
Time is in such repeated tempering, hurrying by, as I continue to become proficient in breathing and breathing, the breath in my body flows more smoothly, as if forming a new cycle, every time I feel cold, breathing and breathing can always make vitality and generate heat, which is extremely magical.
I couldn't count the time inside, so I could only tell how many days I had been there based on the fixed number of meals delivered every day.
On the seventh day, the black-robed man really came here again, I thought he would take me away, but I heard Duan Tianya speak: "The old man has been very happy in the past few days, and suddenly remembered that he once lived in seclusion in the area of Zhongnan Mountain in the northwest for a period of time, and there is a place called Huilai Peak, yes, yes, yes, yes, it is there, there is something you want in a cave!"
"Old thing, a mountain is too big, where can we find it, what specific points you said, is there any iconic scenery?" the red-robed woman questioned.
"Do you have cerebellar atrophy? Or do you read too little? I haven't been out for more than 20 years, who knows if that mountain will build a resort, tourist scenic spot or something, you go there, draw a detailed topographic map and show it to me, go and go, don't disturb Lao Tzu and my little friend to chat!" Duan Tianya waved his hand impatiently and drove a few people away.
They attached too much importance to the things in Duan Tianya's mouth, and they didn't want to say anything more, so they sent someone to Zhongnan Mountain to draw detailed figures, and then showed them to him, this amount of work is definitely not small, it seems that I have a lot of time to cultivate.
After getting along with people for a long time, they will always establish inexplicable feelings, especially in this cold prison, only me and Duan Tianya are dependent on each other, and he does not hesitate to pass on his experience to me, and gradually, I have more words with him.
He hadn't been out for more than 20 years, and he was very concerned about the changes in the world, and when I was tired of cultivating, I told him some interesting things that had happened around him.
The three moves of wrapping sand hands, breaking the spirit snake, and floating flowers in the waves, have been used quite skillfully by me.
From the previous practice, I could only follow the cat and the tiger and perform the exercises, but later, I became my own style and evolved my own characteristics, and the tricks were easy to use, and there were many changes when facing the enemy.
If I run into Tuye again now, with my hard power, I will also defeat him.
After about fifteen days, the black-robed man drew the topographic map, took a lot of photos and showed them to Duan Tianya, he pointed at it, said four or five places, and asked the black-robed man to find it.
They have been imprisoned for 20 years, and it is the first time they have seen each other loosen their mouths, although there are elements of deliberate difficulty, but they still do it.
Time was in a hurry, and the black-robed man came no less than five times, and on the sixth time, under the guidance of Duan Tianya, they found a batch of things he had stored before, but the treasure map he wanted the most was not among them.
Duan Tianya always said haha, and said a place again, let them continue to look for it, the black-robed man was a little impatient, but he saw the progress of the matter, and continued to maneuver patiently.
The days passed in this stalemate, and before I knew it, I had been locked up here for a year and four months!
