Chapter 1271: Imprisoned
Qi Ning followed the bright light and looked over, but saw that under the root of the opposite wall, a hole appeared a foot square, and the light was thrown in through that hole.
Although it was only a faint light, Qi Ning had seen the surrounding environment clearly by this light, as he expected, he was really imprisoned in a small cell at the moment, surrounded by thick stone walls, the stone walls were not made of stone bricks, they were actually rocks, and the ground was also hard rock, but it was very smooth and smooth, his limbs were locked, and the thick iron chains were deeply embedded in the rock wall, and in this small stone room, except for himself, it was empty, and there was not even a straw.
Could it be that he is in the mountains?
Qi Ning could see at a glance that those stone walls were all made of nature, nothing more than being carved and repaired, and the entire cell was connected as a whole, so it was naturally impossible to mine rocks from the mountains and transport them out to build, that is, this cell was indeed in the mountains, could it be that he was still in Chaowuling?
Suddenly, a small tray protruded through the hole, on which were placed a bowl of rice, two bowls of vegetarian vegetables, and a bamboo tube containing water.
Qi Ning immediately moved over, the iron chain was long enough, although heavy, but it was still enough for Qi Ning to easily reach the intimidating side, the hole was almost touching the ground, Qi Ning squatted and said outside: "Where is this?" ”
But no one answered at all outside, and even quickly blocked the hole with a stone, and the room was suddenly dark again, Qi Ning was annoyed, and pushed the stone with his hand, but it was easy to push the stone out, and the light came in, when he heard a woman's voice outside: "I don't have to eat for a day." The voice was quite green, and the grade was naturally not big, and then there was a sound of footsteps, and the woman quickly walked away.
Qi Ning thought to himself that the woman said that she didn't eat for a day, maybe because she pushed the stone away as a punishment for herself.
Seeing the water in the bamboo tube, Qi Ning felt thirsty, picked up the bamboo tube, and poured it up.
His body has already been combined with the Cold Bead, and he is not afraid of poison, and he is not worried about the poison in the water, and Jizo does not have to use such means to kill him.
A bamboo tube of water was quickly drunk, but the water quality was very sweet, Qi Ning had suspected that he was in the mountains before, but now he was able to be sure that such a sweet water quality must be mountain spring water, but he didn't know whether it was in Chaowuling.
The sect leader died, Yin Wuji's life and death were unknown, a large number of sect members fled, and the Black Lotus Sect could be regarded as falling apart and existing in name only, and at this time, I thought of Li Xigong and others, and I didn't know whether it was life or death.
Qi Ning is tenacious, although he is in such a predicament, he does not give up, he knows that no matter how difficult the situation is, he must be ready to fight back at any time, and his physical strength and energy must recover as soon as possible, so he picked up the rice bowl, and did not ask whether the food was good or bad, and ate it all.
Although he couldn't talk about being full, this bowl of rice still allowed Qi Ning to regain some strength.
Leaning against the stone wall, Qi Ning was thinking about the previous battle with Jizo.
Unable to defeat Jizang, in fact, it is also something that Qi Ning expected, although he has mastered the method of manipulating the qi of heaven and earth, but only because he has a strange meridian close to the heavenly vein, far from reaching the realm of the great grandmaster, and Jizang is very good at controlling the qi of heaven and earth, and can fight against the two masters at the same time, his cultivation should be to enter the realm of the great grandmaster.
Qi Ning got the method of controlling the qi of heaven and earth from the sect master, but he was only able to gather the qi of heaven and earth in one point, and in the previous battle, Jizang was able to control two qi of heaven and earth to deal with himself and Yin Wuji at the same time, Qi Ning knew that this alone would not be as good as Jizang.
The sect leader taught the method in the Great Snow Mountain, but it was also in a hurry, Qi Ning only controlled the breath according to the method taught by the sect leader, but it was only the simplest method, if this method was a sword technique, Qi Ning was only a sword move that had just learned the beginning.
Qi Ning knew that he was imprisoned by Jizo, and no one would know.
He was kidnapped by Ximen Wuxian in the northwest and went to Daxue Mountain, and when he left, he left a letter to Duan Canghai, informing him that he was going to Hongmen Dao for an appointment, and he had not returned to the Great General's Mansion since then, Duan Canghai was naturally extremely worried, and he would definitely send someone to track down Qi Ning's whereabouts.
Qi Ning has not returned for a long time, the northwest army has no leader, Duan Canghai can hide it for a while, but it is impossible to hide it all the time, where the responsibility lies, he will inevitably send someone to report to the imperial court, and if the imperial court wants to track down Qi Ning's whereabouts, it is natural to start from Hongmen Road.
Hongmendao returned to Beijing with Ximen's hateless body, and naturally had to accept the interrogation of the imperial court, and Hongmendao left with Qi Ning after seeing the sect leader set fire to the temple with his own eyes, so the imperial court is likely to find the clues to the Black Lotus Sect in the end.
However, everything that happened in Bingtan, except for a few people present, no one else knew, and Jizo would naturally clean up all the clues left behind afterwards, even if the imperial court sent people from the Shenhou Mansion to investigate carefully, it was impossible to find Jizo's head.
And now that he is imprisoned in an unknown place, even if the Shenhou Mansion has great ability, it is impossible to find this place.
Qi Ning knew that in the current situation, there was no other way than to rely on himself, but he was imprisoned in a solid cell, and after his internal strength disappeared, he was no different from ordinary people, how could he escape from this cage?
He didn't know how long Jizo would imprison him, but since he had already arranged for someone to deliver food, even if he didn't kill himself in the end, he would never let himself leave here for a while.
In this cell, I am bored and lazy, I don't know day and night, I am depressed, but I have nothing to do.
Sure enough, there was no one to bring food for a long time, and until the person delivered food for the second time, Qi Ning hurriedly said to the hole: "Girl, what kind of place is this, please tell me." ”
There was no sound outside, and after the meal was delivered, the footsteps were gone.
After that, every once in a while, someone brought food, Qi Ning estimated the time, about two meals a day, although he wanted the other party to speak every time, but the person was like a dumb person, silent, Qi Ning was helpless.
Although Qi Ning was calm, the more time passed, the more anxious he inevitably became.
He counted the days according to two meals a day, and more than 20 days passed in a flash, except for the first time the person who delivered the meal dropped a sentence, and no one said a word to him after that.
The Chu army went north, with a two-pronged approach, the northwest has been taken, has the Eastern Qi fallen into the hands of the Chu state?
What is the current situation of the civil strife in the Northern Han Dynasty? According to the days, Qu Yuangu led the army into the customs has already been two months, the Northwest Army under his command and the Luoyang soldiers and horses of Beitang Hao should have been divided into victory and defeat, if Qu Yuangu did not take Luoyang, then the customs clearance was sealed, there was no way back, the grain and grass were exhausted, even if the Northwest Army was not defeated in the hands of Luoyang soldiers and horses, it must have mutinied on its own.
But now I can't protect myself, and I really don't have the extra heart to care about who wins and who loses.
This time I always think of the Protector Mansion, his newlywed Yan'er left Beijing on a business, leaving Ximen Zhan Ying alone to guard the empty room, although the state affairs are important, but also still guilty, even more on Ximen without hatred passed away in the Snow Mountain, Hongmen Dao brought Ximen's body back to Beijing, even if the news was blocked, not let outsiders know, but always could not hide Ximen Zhan Sakura.
Ximen Zhan Ying's mother died at an early age, and Ximen Wuxian depended on each other for his life, the relationship between father and daughter is naturally extraordinary, once he learned of his father's death, the grief in his heart Qi Ning can also be similar.
In addition, Qi Ning was more worried about Gu Qinghan.
Anyway, even if there is no oneself, there is still the Shenhou Mansion behind the Ximen Zhan Sakura, although the Ximen Wuxian is dead, but the Shenhou Mansion cannot be easily disbanded, Qu Xiaocang and others regard the Ximen Zhan Ying as their own sister, once the Ximen Zhan Ying is in trouble, the Shenhou Mansion will naturally try its best to maintain it.
But the only thing Gu Qinghan can rely on is himself.
Although the Gu family is also a wealthy family in Jingzhou, in the eyes of the eunuchs in Beijing, it is really not worth mentioning.
Now it seems that the Qi family is in harmony, but Qi Ning knows that it is nothing more than because of his own existence, once he is gone, the Qi family will immediately fall apart, including the third old lady, the group of clansmen will definitely attack Gu Qinghan, although the emperor has personally taken care of the trouble of the Sima family, but the Qi family was also a lot of enemies in the government and the opposition back then, once the uncle of the Qi family collapses, those people will be ready to move, without their own protection, Gu Qinghan will not be able to support it at all.
Then I thought of Tian Xuerong again.
Under his arrangement, Tian Xuerong has begun to reopen the East China Sea trade route with several wealthy merchants, but if he disappears, then this plan will definitely not be able to continue, he and Tian Xuerong skin to skin, although it is extremely secret at this time, but many people already know that the Jinyi Qi family is the protector of the Tian family, and therefore the Tian family medicine store is hated by many people, if this protective umbrella disappears, the Tian family medicine store will fall into an extremely serious predicament.
Qi Ning deeply understood at this time that his life and death were actually related to the life and death of too many people.
In this cell, he could not practice, but there was nothing else to do, so he could only recall his past experiences, and naturally remembered the beginning of his coming to this world, the small town of Aizawa, and even more so of Fluttershy, whom he had never met but had a deep connection.
When he left the county seat of Aizawa, he was looking for Fluttershy's whereabouts, but who knew that he had gone a different way, and Fluttershy had no whereabouts, and he still didn't know whether she was dead or alive, and the thought of Fluttershy made Qi Ning feel a little ashamed.
When he first woke up in this world, he still had Fluttershy's appearance in his head, but now it is much more blurred, and his heart is hoping that Fluttershy will be able to turn evil into good fortune.
