Chapter 317: Shouting Injustice 2
Just as I was about to speak, Gu Piaoran stepped forward and said, "Our ship strayed into the place of sin, which means that we must be guilty?" β
The prison officer said in a deep voice, "There is no such thing as a mistake in this place. Do you think this official is a fool who can be fooled at will? β
I secretly said "not good" in my heart. Gu Piaoran's sentence "mistakenly entered" is tantamount to selling us all.
When I was secretly on guard, Gu Piaoran said, "We did enter this place according to the sea chart. But since ancient times, there has been no such thing as condemning people for treasure hunting, right? β
The prison officer said coldly: "Of course you can hunt for treasures, but it depends on whose treasure you are looking for. You are naturally not guilty if you want to retrieve the treasure of your ancestors, but you should be killed on the spot if you steal the treasure. β
Gu Piaoran made a gesture to the prison officer - when Dou Ma told me about the rumor, she once told me about that gesture, and the meaning of the gesture is: I am the master of the door.
The prison officer obviously didn't see what the other party meant: "What do you want to say?" β
Cold sweat ran down my head. Oh no, this place has nothing to do with the rumors. Gu Piaoran can't prove that we are looking for the secret treasures left by our ancestors, and what awaits us is a dead end.
Gu Piaoran coughed dryly twice and said, "Of course we have something to do with here. Impermanence, it's your turn. β
Bloody Impermanence walked out and reached out for the token of the Hell Gate.
After taking a look, the prison officer said with a slight softening face: "It's a little related." But you're not a descendant, so how did you come here? β
I suddenly "clicked" in my heart. No wonder Gu Piaoran was able to convince Blood Impermanence that this was not a secret of rumors at all, but a forbidden place left behind by the Hell Gate.
I figured out one thing in an instant.
It was none other than Gu Piaoran himself who attracted the impermanence of the hell gate. He hit the hell gate with his idea, but instead of going directly to the hell gate, he used me as a bait to lure the blood impermanence into the bait.
We were besieged by water ghosts at sea, not because Gu Piaoran was testing some undercover agent, but because we deliberately wanted to wait for the impermanence of blood to catch up. Gu Piaoran knew the character of Blood Impermanence very well, so he deliberately provoked the other party and let Blood Impermanence chase after us.
The U-turn of the Hidden Dragon between the tides was even more miraculous. If Blood Impermanence doesn't want to be swallowed up by the tide and buried at the bottom of the sea, he can only jump into our ship to survive, and Gu Piaoran's purpose of bringing Blood Impermanence into the forbidden land has been achieved.
When Blood Impermanence saw those Heavenly Pillars towering over the sea, he had already sensed that this place should have something to do with the Hell Gate, otherwise, Gu Piaoran would not be able to easily convince Blood Impermanence whose overall strength was above him. They must have made some deal without telling me.
There is a more important figure here - Tong Xiaoyao.
Tong Xiaoyao must be a pawn of Gu Piaoran, no brain-dead person can live so long on the rivers and lakes. If you look back carefully, Tong Xiaoyao's timing every time she speaks is just right, not only dividing the relationship between the several groups of people hired by Gu Piaoran, but also interrupting everyone's train of thought.
Especially when she asked Gu Piaoran when she got off the boat, it was tantamount to throwing herself out of thin air. But it was these words that dispelled most of our doubts about Gu Piaoran.
The only thing I can't figure out now is why did Gu Piaoran delay until this time to come out to show the relationship to the prison officer?
Also, why did he first make a gesture to the prison officer to indicate the identity of the disciple of the Rumor Sect, and then let Blood Impermanence reveal the token? Isn't that what he's doing to add insult?
While all kinds of thoughts were flying in my mind, Gu Piaoran smiled and said, "Mr. Wu, shouldn't you take out the Blood Demon Eye?" β
When I turned my head to look at Gu Piaoran, the latter smiled and nodded. His meaning was clearβif I didn't show the Eye of the Blood Demon, we'd all have to die here. Take it or not, you can do it!
Fighting back my anger, I revealed the Eye of the Blood Demon on my left hand. The prison officer on the other side was stunned for a moment, and the next moment he suddenly appeared in front of me, and before I could react, he grabbed my left hand. I instinctively wanted to make a move, but the warden looked at the ring on my hand as if no one was around, and the palm that I had raised immediately changed to a posture to stop Ye Shen from making a move.
Ye Shen instantly withdrew his fists, and after carefully retreating to my side, the prison officer bowed his hand to me: "It turns out that it is the descendant of the main line, disrespectful!" β
I subconsciously returned the salute with my hands, but my heart was turbulent.
When the Seventh Aqua gave me the Eye of the Blood Demon, I wondered why the Seventh Aqua Blue had given me a ring for no reason, and claimed that it was her token?
Could it be that the Blood Demon Eye didn't belong to Duan Yunfei in the first place, but the seventh water blue thing? The seventh water blue is not a half-life descendant, but has always been subordinate to the Hell Gate? Regardless of the identity of the seventh water blue, what really makes me wonder is why the seventh water blue gave me the eye of the blood demon, has she already calculated that I will come to the forbidden land to suppress the crime?
The prison officer took a few steps back before saying, "Even if you are the descendant of the main line, I can't let you out. You'd better serve your sentence here slowly! β
At this moment, not only I was stunned, but even Gu Piaoran's face turned pale: "What do you mean, Your Excellency?" β
The prison officer said solemnly: "According to the rules of the forbidden land, only the innocent can enter Heavenly Hell City. Each one of you has sin in his body, and no one can enter until the sin has dissipated. β
Blood Impermanence couldn't help but ask, "How long does it take for the sin qi to dissipate?" β
"It's hard to say." The warden shook his head and said, "Maybe a few days, maybe a few years, maybe you won't be able to dissipate forever if you don't die." β
According to the doctrine of the arts, anyone who commits adultery will have a sin in his body, and unless he honestly accepts the punishment of the human law, the sin will dissipate, otherwise the sin will be like an evil spirit haunted by that person endlessly. It would be better if that person's luck could overpower the sinful qi, but once the luck weakened, the sinful qi would fiercely backlash, and the person's retribution and bad luck would follow one after another under the traction of the sinful qi, which would be enough to make his life worse than death.
As the saying goes: Confucianism uses literature to mess with the law, and chivalry uses martial arts to violate the ban. There is no one in the rivers and lakes who does not have guilt in him, even if he kills people because of chivalry, he will be haunted by guilt, not to mention that Ye Yan and I have not done anything good since our debut.
According to the current law, even if Ye Ember and I sit on the beach with two dry bones, we don't want to get rid of our sin.
I was hesitating, but Gu Piaoran said loudly: "May I ask Your Excellency, what is a sin?" β
Without the slightest hesitation, the warden said, "It is a crime to break the law." β
Gu Piaoran further said, "Then how does Your Excellency know that the sin in us comes from the law? β
I couldn't help but look at Gu Piaoran's body. He's ready to win or lose!
The source of sin is not just touching the law. The first sin did not come from the self-discipline law, but from religion. But what religion says about sin is not the same thing as the sin of the law.
To take the simplest example: in the current law, cohabitation outside of marriage is not a crime, but it is a crime to switch to a certain sect; It is not illegal to slaughter a pig or a sheep, but some religions consider it a crime.
Therefore, the source of sin in people is not the same, and the way to eliminate sin is also different.
The prison officer said coldly: "Chivalry is forbidden by force. The mere fact that you are Jianghu people is enough to explain the problem. β
Gu Piaoran laughed and said: "It's true that we are Jianghu people, but how much of the sin on our heads is counted in the law, and how much should be incorporated into the sect, can Your Excellency tell the difference?" If you can't tell the difference, then don't say anything and let's serve our sentence here. Because, we are not convinced! β
"Yes, we are not convinced!" Gu Piaoran raised his arms and exhaled, and his subordinates immediately responded in unison. Dozens of people roared at the same time, which also increased the momentum.
The prison officer sneered: "Do you think that with this little trick, you can stump this official? I'm going to convince you today. β
The warden waved the sleeve of his robe as he spoke, and I heard a sound in my ears as if the cell door was opening. Without waiting for me to ask, the prison officer turned around and walked into the distance: "Come with me, the conviction treasure in the lobby is enough for you to bow your heads and confess." If you take the initiative to confess your guilt before you arrive in the lobby, the official can give a light sentence at his discretion, otherwise, it will be a crime of one more degree, and the official will never spare it, even if it is the same for the main lineage. β
Gu Piaoran was the first to follow the prison officer and strode out of the cell. I hurriedly chased a few steps from behind, chased Gu Piaoran's side, and used internal force to transmit: "What the hell are you doing?" β
Gu Piaoran smiled and said to me: "Many things, until the end, will not reveal the truth. Why are you in a hurry? The top priority is how to save his life from the hands of the criminal. You don't want to taste what it's like to be skinned alive, do you? β
The prison officer suddenly said sharply: "Don't talk to each other!" This official advises you not to try to run away halfway, for there are enough 800 jailers in the Forbidden Land to keep you alive and not dying. Whoever wants to defy the law can run away and try it. β
The prison officer obviously thought that the communication between us was to plot to escape, but I couldn't explain anything to the prison officer, so I could only glare at Gu Piaoran fiercely, and staggered with him and fell behind the line.
Ever since I left the cell, I had been observing Gu Piaoran's movements, and until now, he still seemed calm. Could it be that he really has the ability to avoid the detection of ghosts and gods? Or did he deliberately let the warden take us to the so-called "lobby"?
Although I have long known that Gu Piaoran is scheming and unpredictable, but without any reference, I can't deduce what Gu Piaoran wants to do, so I can only follow his train of thought step by step. Not only is this feeling very bad, but it also makes me feel extremely dangerous.
I couldn't help but turn my head to look at Bloody Impermanence, who happened to be looking at me.
