Chapter 11: Torture
Ye Chen's eyes were dark, and he suddenly felt a basin of cold water filling his body, and he woke up for a while.
He didn't know where he was anymore. I saw only rows of torture instruments, soldering irons, hooks with pipa bones, guillotines, hanging lassoes, tiger chairs, and some ornaments of unknown names, what this place was no longer clear, but this place was close to hell.
He was hung by two iron chains, and his wrists had been worn off a layer of skin, and he was oozing blood. Behind it is a wall of tiles, and there is not a single window on all sides. According to his understanding, he should be in a basement.
At the very edge of the line of sight, in the dim light, the five evildoers could vaguely see them all standing with their hands crossed, looking like little minions obeying orders. And one and a half meters in front of Ye Chen's eyes, there was an old man who was over sixty years old, he was bent over, wearing a Republican-style horse coat, holding a dragon head crutch in his hand, and the carvings and flower decorations were very chic.
The old man's triangular eyes, refined and restrained, showed deep internal strength, there was not much hair attached to the top of his head, his long white and soft beard almost hung down to his chest, his cheekbones were very high, and his nasolabial folds were so deep that they went over the corners of his mouth.
Seeing that his appearance is very majestic, it is even more yin, once he looks at him, there is a strong sense of coercion inexplicably.
Ye Chen stared at him for a while, he was very unfamiliar with all these people in front of him, and he didn't know why they kidnapped him and why they tied him here. All he knew was that if these people wanted to kill him, he would have died ten times long ago, and now that he was alive, at least it proved that they wanted something from him.
"Who are you, and why are you arresting me?"
The old man was not in a hurry, approached Ye Chen, stretched out his hand, brushed it over his face, and his hand stopped at the corner of his forehead, that is, where he was torn by Yang Qiwa and was now bandaged. The old man's hand trembled and grabbed the piece of gauze, and pulled it off at once.
It hurts, a heart-rending pain that burns in the forehead. Blood poured down again, covering one of his eyes. But Ye Chen knew that the old man deliberately wanted to provoke him in order to control him, so he held back the pain and did not shout.
"Does it hurt?" the old man approached Ye Chen's face and asked with concern, as if it was another person who had just torn off the gauze.
Ye Chen smiled gloomily and said proudly: "You answer my question first, and I will answer yours." ”
The old man smiled, threw away the gauze in his hand, and fluttered his hands. He paced back and forth beside Ye Chen twice with his hands behind his back, and suddenly turned into a fist with one hand and hit Ye Chen's ribs again.
Ye Chen spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and almost fainted in pain.
"What the are you me doing? You might as well kill me with a knife. ”
The old man stretched out his hand, and soon a female disciple came over with a basin of water, and the old man let go of his hand in the basin, and the female disciple washed his hands and then dried them. He stared at Ye Chen for a moment, admiring the pain he had created spreading across Ye Chen's body.
It is written, "Man does not live by bread alone. Ye Chen, what do you still live on?" The old man used the tone of the capital, and Ye Chen immediately realized that the other party was likely to be someone from the Shuiyun Cave Heavenly Town of the Kitchen Knife Gate branch in the capital.
"Lao Tzu lives by digesting food!" Ye Chen looked like he wanted to kill and scrape casually.
"There are some foods that you can't necessarily digest when you eat them. Eating undigested food is not good for the body, and it is even worse than eating poison. ”
"You bird is here to play dumb riddles with me, I don't know you at all, what's the business to hurry up and say. ”
"Haha. You're also hard-boned, no wonder you're lame when you're a magic weapon. But you're too young, how can you afford to take on the responsibility of the future development of this sect?"
"Who are you, what are you going to do?" When Ye Chen said this, he seemed to have guessed that these people were from the kitchen knife door.
"None of this has anything to do with you, and you don't have to suffer all this. You can be an ordinary person, raise a child, provide a house, and there may be some unexpected surprises in life, but getting it at the same time does not mean depriving others of too much. You don't have to go through any ups and downs, you will have a lot of friends, and even a lover who will meet secretly. "How natural and natural is all this? Don't you want it? As long as you give me all the things that Chen Cripple gave you when he was dying, I can give you everything you want. Hmph, the last thing I lack is money. Women, when you have money, you have the woman you want. ”
"Seems like a good deal!"
"You are a smart person, in fact, people like you will eventually become very refined egoists, won't they?"
Ye Chen's mind spun quickly, it was obvious that the other party found him because he had a boxing match, and he used the kung fu of the kitchen knife door in the fight, so his identity was exposed, and these people must have known that the master entrusted him with the secret Gatuo and the kitchen knife door. But they shouldn't have any evidence.
The rule of the Kitchen Knife Gate is that the top secret is secretly given by the previous sect master.
"The lame man you are talking about is an old man I know, a poor old man I met in the countryside a long time ago who fled to the county from other places, poor and poor, with little food and clothing, what good things can he leave for me? ”
"Haha!" the old man smiled, "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, the last person Chen Cripple knows is you, but you can't rely on it, and quibbling will only prolong your pain." After speaking, the old man glanced at the red-hot soldering iron, and the man with glasses understood, had already picked up the soldering iron, and slowly approached Ye Chen.
Ye Chen saw the soldering iron in the glasses man's hand, and gradually approached him, and a burst of scorching heat came to his face. Recruit it, change it to a good death!A voice swelled in the eardrums.
Soon another voice stood on the commanding heights of his soul, ordering him not to die.
"You're unqualified, and it wasn't my intention to drag you in, but I have no choice. You can't let me die blind. No matter what happens in the future, I hope that you will despise death, and even if you pay the sacrifice, you will not divulge the secrets of your sect to those with ulterior motives. ”
This is the voice of the master's earnest teachings before he died, and the scene of the master saying these words is instantly vivid, and now that the master has ascended to heaven, how can he bear to let him die without turning a blind eye? Ye Chen gritted his teeth, and his heart was crossed, and he would never reveal the slightest secret.
"Hmph, isn't it just death? I won't tell you a word about those of you who betray your master and watch the throne. If you want to get the secret and that kitchen knife, you have to step over my corpse!"
The old man listened to his words, and his heart suddenly sank, he didn't expect this young man to really have such hard bones, and he was not even afraid of a soldering iron.
The old man waved his hand, motioned for the man with glasses to go away, and then said with a smile: "Listen to you, it seems that you already know my identity?"
"Nonsense, you're all left over from my play, use it to scare me, Lao Tzu is scared? If you respect me as the sect leader, I will also consider opening up the net, if you continue to be obsessed, I will issue a purge order to the eight loyal towns of the world, so that you will regret reincarnation!"
The old man laughed wildly. Ye Chen could hear that what he had just said had an effect.
The status quo is that people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, but Ye Chen is the legal sect leader after all. Almost all the people in the Kitchen Knife Gate want to be the leader of this sect, get the treasure knife and secret gatuo of the Kitchen Knife Gate, and then dominate the martial arts, but whether or not to take the risk of killing the sect leader is worth weighing every rebellious minister and thief.
At that time, the old man was wondering in his heart, what if Ye Chen really got in touch with the people of the loyal eight towns? Ye Chen may not know him, but the elders of the loyal eight towns, thinking about it is enough to guess that he did it.
When the time comes, they will turn their spearheads and all aim at Shuiyun Dongtian, and under the banner of revenge for the sect leader, he will really not be able to eat and walk around.
Besides, if he killed Ye Chen, he would have no way to get the secret gatuo and kitchen knife.
"Now that you know who I am, I won't go around in circles. Shuiyun Dongtian is one of the nine towns, and the sect leaders have always been from Shuiyun Dongtian, and when it came to Chen Cripple's generation, I don't know what evil art he used to confuse the old sect leader and steal the throne. In that special era, all the sects were dormant, and no one expected the sect leader to really play any role, and the loyal eight towns did not approve of Chen Cripple, and only regarded it as a transition. But the irony is that Chen's lame man died, and he passed it on to you, a waste! Nephew, there are more powerful people than you, shouldn't you be virtuous!"
Ye Chen's eyes quickly swept over the old man's face, this person was really unexpected, it was Uncle Fang, the head of Shuiyun Cave Heavenly Town. Uncle Fang finally showed his fox tail under the plausible knock of Sect Leader Ye Chen.
This was the first time he had used the identity of the sect leader, but he didn't expect to receive miraculous results, allowing him to instantly get some opportunities from the passive situation.
Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh, it's better to be an official!
"Since the head of Fang doesn't want to be this Wu Taibo, how can I be a boy I have already become King Wu of Zhou! I'm worried that the people of the loyal Eight Towns also have the same strength as you, and I really want to call everyone to a meeting, how can I, a virtuous person, give it to?"
"! We are just taking back what belongs to us, and this position of sect leader does not belong to you in the first place! When will it be your turn to divide it?"
Uncle Fang was actually a little indignant, and it could be seen that he cared very much about the position of the sect leader, and at the same time, he also cared about the inheritance.
Ye Chen laughed: "If I'm not wrong, the sect leader is the common sect leader of the Eight Towns and Shuiyun Dongtian, what gives the head of the house confidence, and this position of sect leader belongs to you?"
"Hmph, what the cripple Chen left you, I'll be fine if I get it today, and if I can't get it, I'll get it! You don't have to worry about my relationship with the loyal eight towns, it will be orthodox to kill you and me. ”
"Haha, I hope the loyal people of the Eight Towns think the same way. Ye Chen continued to make fun of his logical loopholes, while also reminding him of the consequences of his recklessness.
"Master, don't listen to his nonsense! I don't think it's a big punishment, this kid really takes himself seriously!" The glasses man's hand holding the soldering iron was already trembling, and he couldn't wait to fall on Ye Chen's body.
Uncle Fang lowered his head and thought carefully for a minute, then walked out of the cell, waved his hand and said, "Give him a breath, I'll ask him!"
The man with the eyes was majestic now, and he took the soldering iron in his hand and approached Ye Chen step by step.
