Chapter 53: Captivity
"I ...... Where am Iβ"
The boy opened his hazy eyes and looked vaguely at his surroundings, the dim light in his eyes, and the smell of blood mixed with a rust smell hit his nostrils.
It's a prison cell.
Three of them are hard stone walls, and the front is a rusty metal fence, although it seems that it can be destroyed with a single blow, but Xia Li doesn't even have the power to strike at this time-
His hands and feet were wrapped with heavy shackles, the shackles were all black, like iron and stone, I couldn't tell what kind of material it was, but the weight was extraordinary, I don't know how many times heavier than the iron lock of the same size, so Xia Li couldn't even raise his hand.
And the most important thing is that this set of shackles interferes with the circulation of the Yuan Qi in his body, although he can still absorb the Yuan Qi into his body, and even continue to use the Yuan Qi in his body to run Xiao Zhou Tian to cultivate, but it is difficult for him to transmit the Yuan Qi to the whole body, and it is difficult for him to exert his strength.
But the injuries on his body were indeed treated excellently, his whole body was covered with new bandages, and he was not stingy with various medicines between the wounds.
A bed was placed in the corner, and even a soft futon was laid over him.
This made Xia Li feel that this was not so much about putting him in prison as it was about putting him under house arrest.
"Masterββ?"
Xia Li tentatively asked, he desperately wanted to know what happened after he fell into a coma, and the only one who knew the answer could only be Haoyan.
"Looks like we're lucky to survive......"
Haoyan's voice sounded slowly:
"We should be in another area of Arashiyama now, it looks like this group of small base camps, and after the man captured you, he handed you over to the doctor, dealt with you comprehensively, and even explained that he must not let you die. β
"I don't know what this guy is thinking about you. β
"Huh?" Xia Li was also very puzzled, indeed, before this hunt, he and this group of killers should have never met, and he didn't know what this group of people were trying to do with him, was he thinking about the master?
"No, they didn't find me. Haoyan's faint voice came, and it seemed that he had really hidden his spirit body deep in Xia Li's sea of knowledge:
"Oh, by the way, that guy ripped your necklace. β
"Necklace!?"
Xia Li suddenly realized something, and his shackled hands groped around his body, making a rattling sound.
"That's the amulet my mother gave me!
Although it is not a precious thing, just a simple jade pendant, this means a lot to Xia Li, because it is the first gift given to him by his stepmother.
"Could it be that this guy knows Hua Shuyao's woman?" Hao Yan said in a deep voice, this was the only possible judgment.
"Impossible! My mother said that this was her token of love! It was given to him by Hua Wenjie twenty years ago, and Hua Wenjie had already eighteen years ago-"
"Ahββ!!h
Xia Li screamed!
An incredible guess came to his head!
"In other words, is this man in black Hua Wenjie, who has been dead for eighteen years?" Hao Yan smiled playfully in the sea of knowledge:
"Interesting, really interesting. β
"Impossible! The fourth master of the Hua family died young, this is the news that everyone in the Hualan Sect knows! Moreover, even if he is not dead! Eighteen years have passed, why doesn't he go back to visit his mother! Obviously, the two love each other so much!"
Xia Li didn't believe this judgment a little, nominally, Hua Wenjie could be regarded as his stepfather, he couldn't believe that his stepfather was the murderous demon king who slaughtered half of the disciples of Hualan Sect!
"What if he can't go back!?"
Hao Yan seemed to have grasped some information, and he smelled a strong smell of conspiracy in it.
"Can't go back?"
Xia Li also made a difficulty, and couldn't think of a reason, so he could only scratch his head frantically.
"Okay boy, since that guy took your pendant without permission and spared you a life, then he will come to you again after all, and it's useless for you to think so much now. β
Hao Yan's words are not unreasonable, but in the next sentence, Hao Yan's mood fluctuated significantly:
"Let's talk about the two of us!"
Xia Li swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and he was about to be scared out of a cold sweat, he knew that his reckless actions in the dense forest were equivalent to seeking death, and his death meant the dissipation of Haoyan's soul consciousness......
"Boy, you should know who you are! Even if you die 10,000 times, I won't feel half pity and sorrow! But now! The two of us are tied together!"
"You shouldn't, you shouldn't!"
"We shouldn't risk the lives of the two of us!"
Xia Li was frightened by the furious Hao Yan-
"The disciple deserves death!"
Xia Li kowtowed the ground, he knew that for his master, he was just a stepping stone to get rid of this small Metaverse, just a small splash in his 10,000-year life......
"There's no next time!" Hao Yan said in a deep voice, showing an extraordinarily majestic look.
"Yesββ!"
Xia Li didn't dare to say much, so he could only bury his head, and the cold sweat on his forehead was so much that it dripped to the ground.
Seeing his trembling appearance, Hao Yan couldn't help but want to laugh, he thought that Xia Li's heart had grown after this hunting, but he didn't expect that he was so casually scared, but this kid was still the timid and scared teenager in front of him.
Xia Li thought that Haoyan only treated him as a tool, but Haoyan actually really took care of and cultivated Xia Li as a disciple.
Yesterday in the dense forest, the moment when he put his life aside and rushed towards the man in black, let Hao Yan witness the courage of Xia Li, the cultivator has been accompanied by countless life and death experiences, if there is no hardship, it will not be a great thing.
So Hao Yan didn't actually blame Xia Li too much, but the two of them were still too weak now, and he had to tell him so harshly and put some pressure on him so that he could make his somewhat reckless apprentice act carefully.
"Get upβ"
Haoyan's tone was a lot soothing, and Xia Li wiped the sweat off his head and sat up gently.
"Bang Bang ββ!"
Suddenly, the iron fence of the cell was clattered, and the figure of a jailer appeared outside the doorβ
"Stinky boy!
With that, the man put a plate of rice cereal mixed with some stewed food into the prison door.
"I don't know why the boss picked up a skinny boy like you!
The jailer was obviously very dissatisfied with Xia Li, after all, no one would be happy to watch an outsider consume the medical supplies they used to save their lives.
"This big brother!"
Xia Li hurriedly stopped him:
"Where is your boss now?"
"I'm tired of reporting it! Tell him that Hua Shuyao's righteous son is awake! I want to see him!"
