Chapter 178: The Dungeon
In this world, the most invincible thing is time.
The rising sun came to the world again with light and heat, and it was like countless dawns before it, day after day, and it was constantly reincarnated.
According to legend, the Demon Emperor Emperor Jun and the Demon Queen Xihe had ten sons, who were the Golden Crow. The Ten Golden Crows take turns to rise from the Fuso Sacred Tree in the east every morning and fall to the west in the evening. However, due to naughtiness, in the ancient Emperor Yao era, ten golden crows descended on the world, the sun dried up and cracked, the people were not able to make a living, and human beings were miserable.
The Queen Mother of the West took pity on the common people and sent the descendants of the great gods to the earth. The descendants held a magic arrow, and every time the arrow was fired, a golden crow fell, and after nine consecutive shots, there was only one sun left in the sky. Or atonement, or punishment, this last golden crow, rising and falling in the east and west from life to life, constantly reincarnated.
At noon, the sun shone into the house through the doors and windows, and I felt the dazzling nature wake up leisurely and stretch my waist lazily. This night, he slept extremely soundly, because he knew that Gu Tianxue was by his side.
But when he looked at the bed, he didn't see the familiar figure. Probably because she got up too late, she went out, and she couldn't help but shake her head, thinking so.
Tidy up your clothes, wash up, and everything is in order. After leaving the room, he walked through the entire Heart Cultivation Hall, but he didn't see Gu Tianxue's figure. Born to go down the mountain to find, he saw a lot of fellow disciples along the way, but everyone had complicated and even evasive eyes, which made him feel faintly uneasy. Did something big happen last night?
Just as Tiansheng was about to ask someone, several people appeared in front of him. Their faces were expressionless, and their steps were uniform, obviously not passing by by by accidentally. As expected, they soon came to Tiansheng, their eyes like torches, staring at him deadly.
"Brother Tiansheng, come with us. ”
Without waiting for Tiansheng to reply, a golden rope quickly flew out of the man's hand, tying his body so tightly that he couldn't move. I naturally want to break free, but I can't work hard for half a day.
"If you want to tie me up, you have to explain why. Tiansheng snorted coldly.
"Ye Han died last night, and you are the biggest suspect. ”
Dead again? When he heard the news, he was shocked, but quickly calmed down. No longer resisted, and let a few people take them away.
Ye Han died, but he didn't know it, and Gu Tianxue, who disappeared early in the morning, all of this made Tiansheng already have a rough guess in his heart.
As they walked more and more remotely, the scenery became more and more unfamiliar, and several people brought Tiansheng to a dungeon. The dungeon is cold and damp, and the air has a rotten atmosphere, and I didn't expect that there would be such a place like a fairyland.
The dungeon was large, not as empty as I had thought. In fact, many of the cells are filled with prisoners. Among them are demons, ghost kings, and even human monks who have committed crimes. Each of them was like a wolf, staring at the innate who was being pressed away.
"Zizi, it's been a long time since there have been newcomers in this prison. "A wolf demon licked his lips, his tongue was extremely red, and he was as excited to see it as if he had seen his prey.
"This kid has fine skin and tender meat, and it looks delicious. "There is a demon who responds to the Tao.
Tiansheng lowered his head all the way, his mind was in chaos, and he naturally didn't know how much impact his arrival would have on this long-dormant prison. He remained silent, and soon arrived at an empty cell, where he was pushed into it with a great force.
"Born junior brother, your demon roots are deep, and the elders have unanimously decided to lock your pipa bone in case you are difficult to control after you fall into the demon. But at Elder Luofeng's insistence, he only used this bundle of immortal ropes to tie you up. Hope you're doing it well. ”
After speaking, several people left the dungeon.
The dungeon is very dark, there is no daylight, it is very cold here, and even the natural physique will feel the biting cold. Immersed in the marrow of the bone and immersed in the soul, he cowered in the corner alone, his body trembling.
In the dungeon, the roar of wild beasts can be heard from time to time, and this is the demon imprisoned here to vent his dissatisfaction. One of the most terrifying voices was very close to him.
The innate gaze quickly locked on the opposite cell, a prisoner with a human appearance in a cloak, constantly whispering and roaring, not a beast, more than a beast. The clothes on his body were already tattered, but he could still vaguely distinguish that this was the Taoist uniform of the Sword Gate, and he was actually a disciple of the Sword Gate.
Just when Tiansheng was startled, a voice came slowly, as if it had seen through Tiansheng's thoughts: "He has been trapped here for thirty years. ”
"How did he become like this?" Born with squinted eyes, he saw a lion, lying on the ground, weak. It was the one who spoke to me just now.
"He, like you, is also a disciple of the Sword Sect. Thirty years ago, I traveled down the mountain and visited my hometown where I had not returned for a long time, but I happened to encounter mountain bandits who looted and slaughtered the entire village. In a fit of rage, he killed all the bandits, but he was also taken advantage of by the demons, and now it has been thirty years since he was half-human and half-demon. ”
I didn't expect that not only Zitong, not only myself, but also a third person in the Sword Sect could become a demon at any time. He looked at the disciple of the Sword Sect who didn't know the name in front of him, and he only had pity and sympathy in his heart, he was still his predecessor when he counted his seniority.
"Has he always been like this?"
Tian asked cautiously, he was very concerned about this question, because this may be what he will look like in the future, half human, half demon, inhuman.
The lion shook his head, looking very much like a human old man, as if he had seen all the things in the world.
"When he first arrived, he was just like you, very optimistic, and even trying to fight against his demons. But as time went by, his demonization became more and more serious, and in the last two years, there was almost no sign of humanity. ”
The lion demon actually admires himself as a cellmate in his heart, and it is already remarkable to be able to fight against the inner demon for thirty years. The pain during this period made it, a once bloodthirsty and brutal demon, tremble to watch. If he were to be himself, he wouldn't be sure how long, a year, or two years he would last?
Born with a sudden feeling of sadness for a rabbit and a fox, whether from ancient books, or what I have seen or heard. All those who are invaded by demons and have deep roots in the devil will not escape the fate of becoming demons. Either die before becoming a demon, or become a bloodthirsty and cruel killing machine.
He also fought hard, hoping to see the light, hoping for a miracle, but now it is more despair. Even now, I don't know when I killed someone, but there was an evil soul living in my body, and I was finally locked up in this ghost place.
At this moment, he suddenly saw away, and he was suddenly relieved. Before, it was because there were still obsessions, concerns, and people who couldn't give up. Now he realizes that letting go may be the best explanation to himself and those who love him.
As the saying goes, if I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?
