Chapter Seventy-One: The Prisoner

At the end of the Sword Valley, there is a cell. The cell was dark and damp, and the air smelled of dried blood. Inside, there was only a faint light from an oil lamp, not even a single window, and the air was dull and cloudy.

Two arm-thick chains hung a man hanging from the wall, and he hung his head so hard that he couldn't see him clearly. The unkempt hair was scattered, and the white robe was no longer visible, and it was covered with blood.

"Water...... Water ......", he licked his chapped lips, as if talking nonsense, "thirsty...... Thirsty....... ”

A petite figure appeared in the cell, she was dressed in black clothes and black pants, and even her face was covered with black cloth, her face was completely invisible, only a pair of eyes were exposed, and these eyes looked at the prisoner in front of her, and a trace of distress flashed.

She sighed inwardly, poured a bowl of water, and gently brushed away the messy hair in front of him, and was about to feed him a drink.

"Bang!" the bowl fell to the ground and shattered to pieces, and Longrich stood behind the woman in black with a whip in hand. The woman in black covered her hot hands, knelt on the ground and saluted, "Rou Ji has seen the lord!"

"Who allowed you to come here?!" Longrich said angrily: "After so many years, it seems that you still miss him!"

Rou Ji prostrate on the ground and said: "The lord is angry, Rou Ji is just afraid that he will die and delay the lord's big event tomorrow." ”

"Hmph, you remember tomorrow!" Longrich's face was cloudy, and with a wave of his hand, the little demon brought a bucket of water and threw it at the prisoner.

The water soaked the prisoner's hair, beard, and clothes, and he was dripping water all over his body, and he greedily followed the dirty water dripping from his head with his mouth, describing it as extremely embarrassing.

"Hahaha, look at his ghostly appearance, is he still the suave Cloudless Peak Peak Master?"

Rou Ji didn't dare to get up, she lowered her head and tried to force the tears back from her eyes, she knew that she couldn't cry, and she couldn't say a word more, otherwise it would only make the locked person suffer more.

However, Longrich was obviously unwilling to let go of such an opportunity, and he wanted to torture the prisoner in front of him.

Xu Daozi was agitated by the water, obviously sobered up, and when he saw Longliqi, his eyes erupted with anger and said, "It's you!"

"It's me, I didn't expect it, now that you're my prisoner, what do you think I should do with you?" Longrich drew his serpentine sword, the tip of which pressed against the neck of Xudaozi, and a wisp of blood spurted out.

"Don't!" exclaimed Rou Ji, who knew that Longrich had always been moody, and blurted out in a hurry.

"Smack!" Longrich was annoyed and ashamed, and gave Rou Ji a heavy slap with his backhand, gritting his teeth and saying, "You slut!"

You feel so sorry for him! You forgot how he betrayed you 18 years ago!"

Only then did Xu Daozi discover that there was a woman in black who had been prostrate on the ground, and it was precisely in order to track down the infant corpse Gu that he fell into the trap set by Longliqi.

"Rou Ji!" he called eagerly, his sunken eyes suddenly filled with life, "You're really not dead?"

"You recognized the wrong person, I'm not, I'm not" Rou Ji covered her red and swollen face and ran out with tears in her eyes.

"Rou Ji, Rou Ji, how could I admit my mistake" Xu Daozi muttered to himself, how could someone who has been engraved in his heart for so many years admit his mistake.

"Damn, you all deserve to die!" Longliqi seemed to be greatly stimulated, the serpentine sword slashed indiscriminately on Xu Daozi's body for a while, he looked up to the sky and laughed: "Tomorrow, tomorrow is the day when I become an infant corpse Gu, you just wait to become a walking corpse without any feelings!"

"Longliqi, no matter what grievances you and I have, I hope you don't do such hurtful things. ”

Covered in blood from the serpentine sword, he asked weakly, "Have you really ...... those babies?"

"Otherwise, I have worked so hard to snatch them, do I want to raise them? There is still one last process left tomorrow, and the Infant Corpse Gu will be completed, and in the future, both the demon world and the human world will have to obey my orders! Hahaha......" Longrich looked up to the sky and laughed, his eyes were blazing madness, "And you!

"Don't be delusional, the Infant Corpse Gu will only work if it is placed on a living person, I would rather die than become your accomplice!"

"You could have died, but if you die, think about what I would do to that poor woman, I would make her worse than dead!"

Longrich approached Xudaozi, grabbed the clothes on his chest with his hands, and said with mockery in his eyes: "Are you willing to let the woman you love suffer again?"

Michiko closed his eyes in despair, two lines of tears running down the corners of his eyes, and his face was full of sadness.

"I've been sorry for her once, I'm ...... I ......"

Longrich let go of his hand and snorted coldly, "Stupid and cowardly human!"

Satisfied, he left without looking back.

Late at night, in the dungeon. Tired and hungry people who had been trekking on the road for a long time sat on the ground, leaning on each other and falling asleep.

Occasionally, there is the sound of snoring and grinding of children's teeth.

Ling Huqing opened her eyes and looked around, and she found that the girl named Tangxi was actually not in the dungeon! She could be sure that she was still there before she pretended to sleep just now.

Ling Huqing made a stealth decision and disappeared from the dungeon, and the little demon guarding outside was still sleeping soundly.

In the huge valley, she saw at a glance that there was a small person standing under the huge furnace, it was Tangxi.

"You're here" Tang Xi actually spoke, but the voice was not the voice of a little girl, but the voice of an elderly woman.

"Are you calling me?" Ling Huqing was very surprised, he was invisible, and Tangxi could actually see himself.

"You don't have to worry, I've set up an enchantment around here, and people outside can't enter, and they can't see us," Tang Xi said lightly.

"Do you believe that there is a sword spirit in this world?" Tang Xi looked at Ling Huqing with wide eyes.

"Of course I believe it, aren't you?" replied Ling Huqing without thinking.

"You're smart, it seems like I'm not wrong, yes, I'm the Sword Spirit, I've lived for so long, so long that many times I can't remember who I really am. ”

Tang Xi's eyes were full of vicissitudes, and this look was incompatible with her little girl's face.

"And you are the one I have chosen. ”

"Why did you choose me?" Ling Hu Qing was a little puzzled, she and Sword Spirit had never known each other before this.

"Because of it," Tang Xi pointed behind Hu Qing.

Ling Huqing raised the sword behind him in his hand and said suspiciously: "Red Heart Sword?"

"Yes, that's it!Can you lend me a look?" Tang Xi's eyes stared straight at the Red Heart Sword.

Ling Huqing handed the sword to her and asked, "Is there anything special about this sword?"

Tang Xi took the Red Heart Sword and gently stroked the sword body, with a very focused expression on his face.

"Huh...... , it's really nothing special, if you want to say anything special, it's cast by my own hands, is it special?"

"You cast it with your own hands?" Ling Huqing suddenly became excited, "So, do you know your mother?"

She knew nothing about her mother, and all those who knew about her were tight-lipped about her, such as her father and grandmother.

She never dared to ask about her mother in front of her father, who would not only lash out but also disappear for days.

She never dared to ask her grandmother, who had always been kind to her, would ignore her for days even when she heard her mother's name.

Over time, she stopped asking.

The last time she was in the Heavenly Fire Ding, Empress Yan almost told her, but Empress Yan was soon killed by the Demon King Seven Evil Holy Monarch with the "Extreme Purple Lotus Pure Fire", and she could only guess from the words of the Demon King and Empress Yan that the Demon King Seven Evil Holy Monarch and her mother should have something to do with it.

"Your mother?" Tang Xi said a little strangely, "I don't know your mother. ”

Ling Huqing's eyes flashed with hope and said, "Think about it, who was the person who came to you to forge a sword in the first place?"

Tang Xi's face darkened, and she lowered her eyes.

"I remember, always remember!"

Tears fell from the corners of her eyes, and the tears dripped on the Red Heart Sword, and the tears were quickly absorbed by the sword, and the sword body actually glowed with a soft silver light.

Ling Huqing looked at all this in disbelief, and she said unwillingly: "My mother is the Jinxin Fairy, and this sword is also called Red Heart, which was left to me by my mother." ”

"The devil forged this sword for a gift, but he nearly slaughtered my whole people, and, moreover, ......"

Tang Xi was full of grief and anger, her tears fell on the Red Heart Sword like beads of broken threads, and the Red Heart Sword seemed to be able to feel her emotions, and the sword body vibrated slightly, making a sonorous sound.

Ling Huqing was really shocked, she had been using this sword for nearly a thousand years, and this sword had never been as strange as it was today.

"Would you like to listen to me tell me about things before 2000?" Tang Xi gently stroked the Red Heart Sword, and the Red Heart Sword slowly calmed down, as if he also wanted to listen to her.
