Chapter 233: Yunzhou Immortal Prison
Yunzhou Immortal Prison, the joint prison of the major immortal gates in Kyushu, it is built by the Chihua Mountains, it is a typical silent era building, magnificent, without any gorgeous decoration, the wall is as high as 100 meters, from a distance, it is like a shrunken apocalypse fortress.
Legend has it that the vast forbidden space barrier was laid here, which was not only a fierce and violent concentration camp, but also the final destination of the criminals, because once you enter, you often can't wait for the day of release.
And in the Kyushu cultivation realm, "send you to Yunzhou Immortal Prison" has long become one of the most vicious dialects to curse others, if the nobles with power hate a person very much, they often do not want him to die, but send him here, so that his life is worse than death.
After a month of almost non-stop travel, Yun Xuan was finally escorted to this evil place, and after being imprisoned by the True Yuan Lock in his own cultivation power and becoming an ordinary person's physique, after such a long period of hard work, Yun Xuan felt a sore back, and fully realized what it was like to be an ordinary person.
However, what made him feel strange was that although the True Yuan Lock imprisoned his cultivation power, it also brought him some unexpected protection, at least that damn "sunphobia" was no longer attacking, and he could even face the sun again, and his state was even better than the peak period in the past.
At this time, the sun gave Yun Xuan only a dazzling feeling, but it could no longer make the gray blood in his body have the slightest irritability and restlessness, and even the sunlight replaced the night, always absorbing a trace of power for his body that was completely different from the past.
It was this peculiar feeling that made Yun Xuan wonder if his blood had turned back to bright red, if it weren't for the fact that the head of the guard had to follow closely after him, Yun Xuan might have cut his skin and see what was going on.
The moat outside the prison tower is not very spacious, but there are some rare species of sawfish in the river, the sawfish are about half a meter long, and their bodies are covered with sharp sawtooth, bloodthirsty, and once any creature falls into the water, I am afraid that it will immediately end up with incomplete bones.
The captain of the guard accompanied Yun Xuan to look at the peep, these strange fish were swimming freely, and many of them were curiously swimming close to the shore, looking at the group of delicious food on the shore.
At the same time, two jailers on the tower of the city happened to throw a corpse down, and the river suddenly stirred up a wave, and the sawfish around it suddenly rushed up like crazy to snatch the lunch for the day. Seeing the corpse surrounded and bitten and devoured by a group of sawfish, in the blood mist, it was vaguely seen that some parts had been bitten to the visible white bones, and the scene became extremely disgusting because of excessive ferocity.
The chief guard suddenly shrunk his neck, and his face became a little unnatural, if it weren't for the jailers watching from the city tower, and so many subordinates behind him, he would probably immediately choose to hide his face and not look at it. In fact, many of his men behind him had turned their faces, and a few of the soldiers had crouched to the side and vomited because the scene was so bloody.
Only the jailers on the tower stared intently, and watched with relish, as if it were the most beautiful picture in the world.
Yun Xuan suddenly snorted in a low voice and said, "No, that guy doesn't seem to be dead......
Before the words fell, the corpse was already struggling desperately, and it seemed that it was still a person who was proficient in water, and in such a situation, it could still push aside the saw ray, desperately struggle to the surface, and cry out for help.
Only then did Yun Xuan realize that most of the jailers on the city tower actually had smiles on their faces, and he vaguely heard the two jailers in front of him throwing this person into the water talking.
“…… Didn't that bastard Wang Lin say this guy is dead?"
"You believe that slippery head, you should check it out. ”
"Hey, you're shirking your responsibility! You were there. ”
"Haha, forget it! ”
"Also, it's lunchtime for the babies, look how cheerful they are......!
The two jailers didn't lower their voices at all, they talked very unscrupulously, and their tone was even more careless, their cold-blooded level had reached the point of outrageousness, Yun Xuan couldn't help frowning slightly, and when he turned his head, he found that the head guard was looking at him with sympathetic eyes, after all, he was about to live in this ghost place.
After a terrible scream, the man was pulled underwater again by the sawfish, and in the midst of the waves, the narrow gate slowly opened, and a drawbridge only two people's shoulders wide was lowered.
I saw a fat man riding a lean horse, staggering along the drawbridge, followed by two jailers trotting all the way. The fat man had a smile on his face, even if he turned his head and saw the terrifying scene underwater, he still maintained this approachable smile, and greeted him from afar: "On weekdays, it has always been those old men from Zhengtianmen who deal with us, but I didn't expect that this time it was a distinguished guest from the imperial capital's court, it was really a rare guest, a rare guest! ”
Tu Liao narrowed his eyes, looked at it from afar, and saw that the young man standing in the middle was handsome and extremely delicate, just standing there casually, already standing above 10,000 people, but what was a bit of an eyesore was that the other party's whole body was covered with black and shiny shackles, if it weren't for that, I thought it was the high-level of the imperial capital who was coming to inspect the Yunzhou Immortal Prison......
The chief of the guard immediately greeted him, and after a few polite words, he introduced: "This is Brother Xia Qi, because Your Majesty ...... Well, because of the discord with His Majesty, he will be imprisoned here for the time being, and I hope that Tu Liao Daoyou will take care of him in the future. ”
Tu Liao bowed slightly to Yun Xuan, bowed, and said respectfully: "Don't dare, don't dare." There will be a long time in the future, I am afraid that it is only because Xia Qi Daoyou takes care of the little ones more. Tu Liao didn't know the details of Yun Xuan, and he had already made up his mind in his heart, before he figured out the real situation, he must treat this Xia Qi monk with courtesy.
Yun Xuan smiled slightly, nodded in return, and thought to himself that this scene was really funny, was he really a repeat offender in the imperial capital, why was he more like a nobleman who came to spend his vacation......
The chief of the guard said again: "By the way, Daoyou Tu Liao, there is also a letter here, which the prince asked me to give to you." ”
"Oh, it's Lord Shi Luohua's letterhead!" Tu Liao hurriedly took it with both hands, opened the envelope immediately, and then read the letter quietly.
He nodded and said, "I understand what the prince means, the chief of the guard, please wait for a while, and the villain will reply immediately." ”
The chief guard said, "Okay, then I'll wait on the shore." ”
At the same time, Yun Xuan, who had been silent, frowned, and suddenly said, "Little brother guard, if you still want to live, I advise you to leave immediately!"
As soon as these words came out, the chief guard was stunned, and Tu Liao's fat man narrowed his small eyes.
"Brother Xia Qi, why do you say this?" the guard captain's eyes couldn't help but flash with deep doubts and a trace of unclear worry.
Yun Xuan smiled faintly and said, "Because in the process of reading the letter by Tu Liao, I sensed a strong murderous aura, please believe that the letter is your death notice! ”
Tu Liao suddenly laughed and said: "Xia Qi Daoyou's imagination is too rich, is the villain crazy? How could he attack the royal guards, it would be a capital crime......
The head of the guard barely squeezed out a smile, looked at Tu Liao, who was still smiling, and then looked at Yun Xuan, who remained calm and elegant at all times, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Xia Qi, I think you are too worried. ”
Yun Xuan tugged at the corners of his mouth and stopped talking, because he had already said what he should say, as for whether the other party was willing to believe it or not, that was another matter.
Tu Liao added another sentence, "Please wait for a while, the elder guard", and led Yun Xuan back to the city tower quickly, because he didn't know Yun Xuan's details, so he didn't dare to get on the horse and go first, so he accompanied Yun Xuan across the narrow suspension bridge.
Yun Xuan clearly sensed that the murderous aura on Tu Liao's body was even stronger, and asked lightly, "Daoyou Tu Liao, you are not the prison warden, are you?"
Tu Liao smiled kindly and said, "Daoyou Xia Qi, I am the director in charge of the city tower system, and I am also the chief advisor of the Yunzhou Immortal Prison. As he spoke, Tu Liao's eyes once again glanced at the shiny black shackles, and he stopped talking.
Yun Xuan smiled indifferently and explained for him: "You guessed right, this is indeed the true yuan lock of the imperial capital, isn't it mentioned in the letter of the prince?"
Tu Liao's fat man's smile narrowed for the first time, but he immediately recovered, and the look in his eyes became more vigilant, it turned out to be a true yuan lock, oh my God! This guy turned out to be a half-step god, this is too young......
As soon as they crossed the drawbridge, the drawbridge was quickly closed, and even the city gate was immediately closed, Tu Liao immediately instructed the people on both sides: "Immediately gather the soldiers on duty on both sides of the north and south, and all go to the west city tower to concentrate, and there will be an urgent military action after a pillar of incense (five minutes)." ”
Immediately afterwards, Tu Liao confessed to Yun Xuan again: "Daoyou Xia Qi, I'm really sorry! Generally, when newcomers arrive, they must be led into Yunzhou Immortal Prison by me personally, but because there are important things to deal with now, I have to waste a little bit of your time." ”
Tu Liao bowed slightly with an apologetic face, and strode up the stone stairs to the city tower, Yun Xuan had to follow him slowly, and he found that there were always two small jailers following him behind him, their expressions full of strict vigilance.
The misfortune that Yun Xuan had expected before finally happened, and there was not even the slightest warning.
The jailers on the upper floor of Yunzhou Immortal Prison City showed amazing efficiency, quickly concentrated, and then lined up, and then there was no horn, and as Tu Liao, the fat man, pointed forward, a dense rain of arrows immediately and ruthlessly shot towards the royal escort team downstairs in the city.
This group of pampered royal guards on weekdays had already been shot into porcupines before they could figure out what their state was, only the chief of the guard who had been warned by Yun Xuan in front of him had already taken precautions when he was worried, and when he saw that the momentum was not right, he immediately flew on his horse, turned around and ran away for his life.
Tu Liao saw that the bows and arrows shot fell one by one behind the chief of guards, snorted, and snatched the strong bow from the hand of a jailer next to him, only to hear a "whoosh", the bow and arrows shot out angrily, and then the horse under the chief of the guard neighed miserably, and the horse lost its front hooves and fell to the ground.
The head of the guard hurriedly flew off his horse, rolled on the spot, and continued to run forward, Tu Liao bent his bow again to aim, and the pile of fat on his face became extremely excited because of the sadism, and trembled slightly at a disgusting frequency.
In the cheers of the jailers, the poor captain of the guard was hit by seven arrows in a row before he died completely, Yun Xuan stood behind Tu Liao from beginning to end, and saw very clearly, whether this brutal fat man shot the horse at the beginning, then shot the thighs, hands, and shoulders of the chief guard, and finally the vital point, it was all deliberate, he liked to condescendingly dominate the life and death of others, because he could taste the pleasure of the cat teasing the mouse under its claws.
Tu Liao handed the strong bow back to the jailer, regained his friendly smile, and turned to face Yun Xuan as casually as he could, but there was still excitement on his face that had not yet receded.
When he saw that Yun Xuan was still calm and elegant, calmly facing the corpses all over the ground under the city tower, as if he hadn't seen anything and nothing had happened just now, Tu Liao's heart couldn't help but be awe-inspiring, this person was either born cold-blooded, or the city government was too deep to understand.
"Daoyou Xia Qi, I'm really sorry to delay your time. This way, please!" Facing these eyes that seemed to be able to see through the soul, Tu Liao felt uncomfortable in his heart, he turned his face away, avoided the eyes in front of him, and led Yun Xuan to walk down the city tower again.
In fact, at this moment, Yun Xuan's heart was not as calm as it seemed, and in his heart he felt sad about the ending of the guards and others, but also worried about the future of his fate, Shi Luohua did not hesitate to sacrifice a group of subordinates who were loyal to him, and also made his coming to Yunzhou Immortal Prison a secret, which was enough to prove that he was sure to avoid the eyes and ears of Meng Zhang Shenjun and the Moon God Fairy, and he was more confident to resist Li Wan'er's doubts in the future.
Because for Yun Xuan, they are the ones who have the best way to get him out of this place safely.
If you want Shi Luohua to release himself in person, it can only be after Li Qingshui's death, and his prince finally decides to support Li Wan'er, not Li Yan'er, and it is precisely when he is useful to himself that he will probably remember his existence, but for such a combination of possibilities, Yun Xuan's personal judgment is that this kind of opportunity is too slim......
At this time, Tu Liao suddenly turned his head, with a humble smile on his face, and explained: "Daoist Xia Qi, in the final analysis, the villain is just a small supervisor, and he can only faithfully carry out the orders from above unconditionally! ”
Originally, Tu Liao didn't think about explaining anything at all, but suddenly, he felt the need to explain, otherwise who knows what kind of character this Xia Qi is, he would have to pull hundreds of people to accompany him to the funeral when he went to a prison casually, would there be any terrible consequences in the future because of today's incident?
Yun Xuan pulled the corners of his mouth coldly, and said calmly: "Daoyou Tu Liao, everyone has their own position, you don't need to explain anything to me. ”
Tu Liao smiled slightly awkwardly, because he felt that the other party had completely seen through his thoughts.
Descending from the tower, they entered a long, narrow path lined with high walls, and if the archers on the tower suddenly attacked them, they would not even have the slightest room to dodge.
Yun Xuan began to understand a little, why some people said that after entering the Yunzhou Immortal Prison, even if you become a fly, you may not be able to fly out.
"Daoyou Tu Liao, how many years do you soldiers here usually have to serve?" Yun Xuan asked seemingly casually.
Tu Liao's pair of small eyes narrowed, as if he had groped for some of Yun Xuan's thoughts, and replied: "Xia Qi Daoyou, the service period of ordinary soldiers in Yunzhou Immortal Prison is forty years, and consultants like us are thirty years, and no one can have any contact with the outside world during the service, so after a long time, the soldiers will inevitably be unable to suppress it, and there will always be some abnormal performance, which makes Xia Qi Daoyou, you are smiling, hehe......" Tu Liao did not miss any opportunity to explain for himself.
Yun Xuan asked lightly in a casual tone, "Can't you have any contact with the outside world?" So, what about your food problems and clothing problems?"
Tu Liao seemed to have no idea Bai Yunxuan's intentions, and patiently explained: "A hundred miles away, there is a storage warehouse, which is guarded by several deaf and mute people with intellectual disabilities, and every once in a while, a large number of basic materials will be added to it, and I will personally take someone to collect it." ”
Yun Xuan smiled faintly and said, "Those materials must have been placed by someone, didn't the time when you went to get the materials coincide with the time when they put the materials?"
Tu Liao said in a very affirmative tone: "There has never been an overlap! Of course, there is also a special set of connection techniques. Generally speaking, we can't have any contact with normal people in the outside world, except for those few deaf and mute, there are only officials from the Xianmen prison system who transport prisoners every once in a while, but I am the only one who has the right to talk to them. ”
Yun Xuan was suddenly silent.
For this new criminal, who should be highly dangerous, Tu Liao felt that it was still necessary to be vigilant, otherwise it would definitely bring some unnecessary trouble to his city defense system in the future, he smiled slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Xia Qi Daoyou! Every soldier, official, or advisor who comes here first learns to keep it secret, especially the chief advisor like me, who is extremely faithful in this regard. Therefore, it is impossible for the information of each prisoner to be circulated through any means. Alas, in general, prisoners wait until they have completed their sentences before they are released. ”
Yun Xuan suddenly smiled and couldn't help asking, "By the way, Daoyou Tu Liao, in the letter that Lord Shi Luohua gave you, what crime did you sentence me for, and how long was the sentence?"
“…… Treason, death penalty! Granted pardon by Her Majesty the Empress, and sentenced to 1,460 years!" Tu Liao thought about it, and decided to sell his favor to this Xia Qi Daoyou, and said this message truthfully, but he didn't forget to add: "However, Daoyou is a dragon among people, it should be impossible to be trapped here for a long time, and with the wisdom of Daoyou, it should not be difficult to see that this is just a superficial piece of information." ”
Yun Xuan smiled and didn't answer again, but in his heart he greeted all the women of Li Qingshui's ancestor for the eighteenth generation.
