Tick...... Tick...... Tick......

From the crispness of the pearl falling on the jade plate at the beginning, to the softness of the blend of water and milk, how long has this ticking movement lasted?

Is it two hours? Or three hours?

Although every quarter of an hour, someone would come down with a lantern to check, but Shopkeeper Wu couldn't remember how many times that person had come down.

Because as soon as he recalled these details, he felt as if his head had been smothered, numbness, soreness, and a trace of unforgettable itching, which made him want to scream and scream, split his skull, and scratch it with his hands!

And yet he couldn't do anything.

Mo said that his limbs were tightly bound, and even the tongue in his mouth was pressed to his jaw by a flat copper tube like a soup spoon.

As soon as he thought of this copper pipe, the chest cavity of the shopkeeper Wu's shortness of breath and stuffiness began to churn again.

At this moment, he couldn't care about his cranky thoughts anymore, and was busy concentrating on suppressing the nausea of turning over the river and the sea - because previous experience had proven that the result of vomiting would only be self-inflicted!

After finally suppressing the feeling of vomiting, Shopkeeper Wu was free again and thought about his current situation.

I'm probably going to die, right?

Numbness in the limbs, chest tightness and shortness of breath, nausea and retching, splitting headaches – even the only functioning ear was chirping wildly.

All of this made Shopkeeper Wu extremely sure that his death was near, and the sound of blood dripping behind him was the death knell urging him to go to hell step by step.

Click...... Click......

At this moment, a small sound seemed to come from a very distant place. Immediately afterwards, a dim bright color came into the eyes of the shopkeeper Wu.

It's time for a visit?

How many times is this?

The eighth, ninth, or eleventh?

Shopkeeper Wu really can't remember, but he has a feeling in his heart that this may be the last time he sees the light in his life!

Therefore, no matter how dizzy he was, he still desperately opened his eyes and stared greedily at the dim light.

"If you want to live, say it."

It wasn't until a man's voice came into his ears from a close distance that Shopkeeper Wu suddenly realized that the person had arrived in front of him.

If you want to live, just say it!

If you want to live, you have to speak......

If you want to live......

If......

That person should have only said one word, but Shopkeeper Wu's mind was full of 'echoes'!

What followed was a fierce conflict between the desire to survive and the will to believe.

This kind of conflict is not the first time, and the shopkeeper Wu has already found a way to resist, he desperately recalls the scene when his parents and relatives were slaughtered by the official army, recalls the life grace of the Holy Sect, and recalls the ......

However, this time, the desire to survive is much stronger than before!

Coupled with the sharp pain in his head, which shattered those long-ago memories, he could hardly bear it, and wanted to obey the fear in his heart, waging his tail like a wild dog and begging for mercy.

In desperation, Shopkeeper Wu had to sacrifice a killer feature in his heart.

Juan'er didn't give in to these dogs, she is a dignified man, isn't she as good as a weak woman?!

No!

Never!

Lao Tzu is a gentleman......

"He...... Amazing ......"

Just when Shopkeeper Wu was desperately suppressing his desire to survive, a muffled moan suddenly came into his ears.

This was followed by a surprise voice: "What, you want to confess?!" ”

Did you moan unintentionally?!

This was the first thought that came to the shopkeeper Wu's trance, but then he found that this was not the case, because in addition to the muffled voice, there was also some sound of chains shaking.

When he first tried to break free, Shopkeeper Wu didn't know how many times he had heard it - but the problem was that he wasn't struggling at all at the moment!

It's Xu Juan?!

Could it be that she ...... You want to betray your brothers and sisters of the Holy Church?!

"Okay, okay, I'll take you out to stop the bleeding."

The surprised voice sounded again, making Shopkeeper Wu instantly confirm his guess, and then a monstrous anger rose from his chest.

He didn't even know what he was angry about, and all he could think of was one question: How dare you betray the Holy Sect?!

So he no longer had any scruples, and he whimpered and struggled excitedly, hating to bite the copper chew in his mouth and swallow it, even if he would be rotten because of this, as long as he could question Xu in person, he would die without regrets!

Who knew that the movement behind him also became violent all of a sudden, as if Xu was afraid that his struggling movement would cover up his begging for mercy.

This slut, this damn slut!

Shopkeeper Wu roared in his heart, and suddenly there was a blow on the back of his head, and his already vague consciousness suddenly stopped......

In the confusion, I don't know how long it has been.

In a trance, Shopkeeper Wu felt that some warm liquid slipped down the tongue coating and soaked his dry throat.

He subconsciously swallowed twice, but his teeth were biting on something hard.

This should be the chew that the dragon guards those dog thieves put on themselves.

However, the copper pipe that pressed the tongue has been withdrawn.

Wait a minute!

Xu Juan seems to have ......

Shopkeeper Wu opened his eyes suddenly, and the first thing that caught his eye was a dazzling light.

He subconsciously narrowed his eyes, and saw the person holding the lamp hurriedly taking half a step back, although he couldn't see it very really, but on her fair and well-proportioned figure, the unicorn belly pocket wrapped in it made Shopkeeper Wu instantly confirm her identity.

"Juan'er ......"

Shopkeeper Wu was dry and vague, and when he spit out these two words, he saw that Xu seemed to be frightened, and turned his head and ran towards the door.

"Juan'er!"

Shopkeeper Wu shouted again with all his might, and Xu finally stopped, but did not turn back, but turned his back to her husband, and spit out three words: "Yes...... I'm sorry. ”

Before the words were spoken, the man had fled.

Alas!

Shopkeeper Wu, who fell into darkness again, couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, but there was no longer the initial anger, only all thoughts were left and a sense of relief - he was in such a situation, and he almost couldn't bear it and wanted to confess, not to mention that his wife was a weak woman?

That's it, that's it!

It's a big deal to die for yourself and pay off some karma for her.

Just thinking like this, I saw that the curtain was lifted, and someone walked in with a lantern, headed by a tower-like burly, and it was the famous 'Qingtian Shenduan' Master Sun.

But it was said that after Sun Shaozong entered the door, he hooked the stool with his toes, sat down in front of the bed, and asked with a smile: "Shopkeeper Wu, Mrs. Zun has chosen to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, but I don't know what you think now." ”

"Phew!"

The left and right wives have betrayed the Holy Sect, and no matter how tight-lipped they are, it will not help, and the shopkeeper Wu has no scruples in his heart, and immediately scolded: "You thief and bird don't want to be proud, Lao Tzu is dead and has no place to be buried, and he will not recognize the thief as his father!" ”

"Now this puppet court is worried about internal and external troubles, I can't say that one day, you will become a prisoner of my holy sect, and then Lao Tzu will be in the underworld, waiting to see how you can't survive and die!"

Hearing that he was still so stiff-mouthed at such a time, the two dragon guards who followed in couldn't help but be angry.

Sun Shaozong did not change his smile, shook his head slightly, and said: "Shopkeeper Wu, since Mrs. Zun has already agreed to confess, what is the point of you refusing people thousands of miles away like this?" ”

"Humph!"

Shopkeeper Wu sneered and said, "In that case, why do you need to ask me again?!" ”

These words blurted out, and then in his messy mind, he couldn't help but flash some doubts-since Xu Juan had already agreed to confess, what did this eagle dog surnamed Sun do to interrogate himself?

Listen to Sun Shaozong: "Naturally, it is to check and fill in the gaps and confirm the authenticity of the confession - although Mrs. Zun may not dare to make things up, but the greater the grasp of these things, the better, otherwise, once you startle the snake, won't you lose all your previous efforts?" ”

This explanation is quite reasonable.

Shopkeeper Wu grinned, revealing the bronze mouth ball covered with saliva, and asked with a hideous face: "Do you think Lao Tzu will be obediently at your mercy?" ”

"Tsk."

Sun Shaozong smacked his lips, changed to a lazy sitting position, shook his head and said, "If I were you, I wouldn't be in such a hurry to make a decision, at least I should think about the current situation first." ”

Situation?

What is the situation of yourself now?

Shopkeeper Wu sneered in his heart, and tried to tilt his head inward, to show that he didn't want to listen to Sun Shaozong's next nonsense, and by the way, he studied the possibility of committing suicide by hitting the wall.

"First of all."

But whether he cooperated or not, Sun Shaozong's plain voice still came into his ears clearly: "Whether you choose to confess and be lenient in the end, or resist strictness, the White Lotus Sect will get the news that you have betrayed - even if they don't believe it at first, as long as Mrs. Zun participates in the actions of our Beizhen Fusi a few times, this matter will be confirmed." ”

"Shameless! You damn ......"

Shopkeeper Wu suddenly turned around, and was about to scold, but a copper pipe was forced into the mouth ball, firmly fixing his tongue on his jaw.

"Anyway."

Sun Shaozong's voice was still unwavering, as if the brass pipe was not stuffed into it by his own hands: "You have betrayed the name of this apostasy, and every member of the White Lotus Sect who learns of this will spurn you very much; Everyone who is involved with you will be retaliated against by the White Lotus Sect. ”

"Of course."

A smile appeared on Sun Shaozong's face: "If you are willing to abandon the secret and make enough contributions, it is not impossible for our Beizhen Fusi to come forward and help you protect your relatives and friends." ”

Before the words fell, I listened to the creaking of the wooden bed, the rattling of the iron chains, and even the clattering sound of the mouth ball.

Sun Shaozong made a look, and the dragon guard beside him immediately stepped forward and pulled the copper pipe out of his mouthball.

"Phew!"

I heard the shopkeeper Wu spit desperately, and roared angrily: "Lao Tzu's family was killed by you eagles and dogs as early as seventeen years ago......

The brass returned to its place, and the roar came to an abrupt end.

"Ahem!"

made such an oolong, even with Sun Shaozong's city government, he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, cleared his throat, and then continued: "The more this is the case, the more the shopkeeper Wu should cherish the only remaining family members around him." ”

"Besides, your parents are under Jiuquan, and they may not want you to die in vain, and they will be burdened with infamy."

Hearing the words 'full of infamy', the shopkeeper Wu struggled fiercely again, but Sun Shaozong did not give him a chance to speak this time, and continued: "In fact, think about it differently, if you abandon the dark and make a contribution, you will be rewarded by the imperial court in the future, and the same virtuous couple will return to their hometown, which is not a consolation for the ancestors of the Wu family." ”

All right.

This set of rhetoric, even Sun Shaozong himself felt a bit far-fetched - but there was no way, who would have thought that this shopkeeper Wu was a bitter and bitter person?

We have to find something to talk about and get this thing done.

The next ones are what Sun Shaozong originally wanted to say to him.

"I know, you may be thinking of dying a hundred, but can this death really be a hundred?"

"Don't talk about others, let's talk about Mrs. Zun first."

"I, Yang Baihu, said that even in the face of the threat of insulting Mrs. Zun, you gritted your teeth and refused to say a word - but what if Mrs. Zun took the initiative to dedicate herself, or did she do it half-way?"

Shopkeeper Wu's struggle became fierce again, so much so that Sun Shaozong had to order someone to suppress him to the death, and then continued: "You probably want to refute me, thinking that Madam Zun will definitely not be so incorruptible and shameless, right?" ”

"But don't forget, now she is not the same as before, in order to survive, she does not hesitate to betray her comrades and betray your Maitreya Ming King......"

Sun Shaozong leaned forward slightly, looking directly at the bloodshot eyes of the shopkeeper Wu: "Even at the expense of betraying you, the husband!" ”

After a pause, it wasn't until he saw a hint of panic in the angry look of the shopkeeper Wu that Sun Shaozong sat back again, and continued to say in a bland tone: "After going through this, how can you guarantee that she will not sell her body in order to continue to live?" ”

"A woman from the White Lotus Sect has no male protection, but she is quite ...... in appearance"|

"You should also know that the people in Beizhen Fusi are not all gentlemen with pure hearts and few desires, and they have a widow who is a traitor to the White Lotus, for them, it may be a vent, or a conversion, or it may be to take revenge."

"The purpose is not important, the important thing is that because of Mrs. Zun's background and weakness, they will not have many scruples to speak of."

"And in the face of this ensuing persecution, Mrs. Zun would either rather die than comply, or compromise like today, and sell her body half-pushing."

"Given her choice today, I think the latter is more likely – what do you think?"

"Of course, she will definitely regret it, cry, and even say your name silently under different men."

"As time goes by, she may get used to taking the initiative to exchange her body for something, or she may always be half-pushing."

"Until one day, she will come to your grave with a big belly, light incense and candles and pray, indicating that after the child is born, she will let him follow your surname Wu."

"How? Isn't it impressive? Do you think that deep down, she still remembers you? ”

"Haha, but the reason why that kid has the surname Wu is probably just because even Mrs. Zun herself can't figure out whose seed this kid is!"

Speaking of this, Sun Shaozong finally stopped, and then glanced at the Dragon Guard Colonel beside him.

"You brute, donkey to dog......"

The moment the copper pipe was pulled out, countless swear words gushed out from the mouth of the shopkeeper Wu, and the spittle star was even mixed with scarlet blood.

Sun Shaozong was still indifferent, and it wasn't until Shopkeeper Wu didn't catch his breath that he replied with a smile: "Scold, continue to scold, until the scolding is happy - and then, you think about it again, whether you want to return to your hometown with Mrs. Zun, or a meaningless death!" ”

After finishing speaking, he didn't look at Shopkeeper Wu again, got up and walked to the door.
