Chapter 30: Be open-minded
Netherworld.
The perennial sun can't shine, and the deeper you go into the Netherworld, the colder it becomes.
Wei Wen was thin and weak, and he was wearing a winter's mink fur outside his clothes, but he could still feel the chill.
"Guest, come with me."
The gears stopped, and Wei Wen stepped down from the wooden sedan and stepped onto the ground.
The ground is cool and not damp, and there is no moss overflow. He followed the jailer, and the one he was about to meet was the owner of this prison, Lou Jing.
"Guests follow closely, don't get lost."
The lights were faint, and as they went deeper and deeper, faint green flames began to emerge around them. It is a cliff protruding from the rock face, and it is flanked by an abyss.
The light became abundant, and Wei Wen's vision began to clear, but the prison seemed more terrifying.
The foul-smelling wind blew by, and the noise was mixed with a faint roar, echoing in this bottomless sinkhole, as if the primeval beast was swallowing it.
From time to time, a pair of red eyes flashed on the surrounding rock walls, fierce and fierce, staring at Wei Wen. He didn't know what it was, but he could feel that if it weren't for the jailer in front of him holding the lamp, he was afraid that he would become the belly of this pair of red lights in the next moment.
After walking for almost a moment, the road finally came to an end.
It was a throne, and now a white-haired man sat on it, waiting boredly for something.
"Wei Wen has seen the Nether Hell Master!"
"It can be seen that you haven't cultivated. With mind and courage alone, you can get here. In the past 30 years, I haven't seen a few. ”
"The prison master is false!"
"I don't have time to be polite to you. Go ahead! What do you want here? ”
Lou Jing raised his head slightly, glanced at it casually, and his eyes were very peaceful.
Wei Wen couldn't feel Qi, but as the chief secretary of the Liang Hou Mansion, he could get in touch with many people in the rivers and lakes.
They were either cautious, or contemptuous, or flattering, but no one looked down condescendingly like Lou Jing, as if they were seeing a small insect.
How much does a bug need to care?
"Solicit!"
Different from the way of persuading Dongyang Sect and others, Wei Wen was very direct and straightforward this time!
"I have been in this hell for more than 30 years, and sure enough, the world has changed greatly. The kid who was struggling to survive under Yang You'an back then has now become tough! ”
"The heroes don't mention the courage of the year! The prison master is a smart man, so he can naturally see the general trend of the world. Thirty years ago, the prison master might have been able to fight for the world. But now, the prison master has only a few thousand men under his command, and it is unwise to fight for the world again! ”
Wei Wen's words were very realistic and cruel, word by word, like a needle, pierced into Lou Jing's heart.
Lou Jing didn't laugh angrily and said, "Interesting! Huan Wu has talents like you under him, no wonder in the past 30 years, the territory has become bigger and bigger. I'm getting more and more curious, what do you want to do? ”
Wei Wen bowed and said, "Two hundred years ago, the imperial court abolished the establishment of the Netherworld. Now that Marquis Liang is in charge of the government, he is willing to restart the Netherworld. The Netherworld should be a jailer, and an official will be promoted. Not only that, Liang Hou is more willing to treat the prison master as a national teacher! ”
"What a brocade clothes and jade food, a high-ranking official. So what do you want from me? ”
"Ye Dongyang!"
"Hahahaha!"
When Lou Jing heard this, he laughed, as if he had heard some big joke.
"If you can, you can give it a try."
Wei Wen didn't know the meaning of Lou Jing's laughter, and followed the jailer to the deepest layer of the Netherworld.
The place where Ye Dongyang was held was not so much a prison as a huge underground palace.
Wei Wen followed the jailer through the heavy mechanism and came to this palace.
Underground water flowed on both sides of the aisle, and layers of dark green firelight lit up, illuminating the man at the end of the long road.
Thick hair, up and down, only strands, black and stolen, unable to see the face. Ye Dongyang's whole body is no different from that of a savage, with a pair of eyes, which are still shining! He sat on the ground, his hands and feet chained, unable to move.
"Who are you?"
Maybe it was because he hadn't spoken for a long time, and Ye Dongyang had some difficulty speaking. This person who obviously did not belong to the Netherworld, but he was able to come here, which really made him a little curious.
"In Xialiang, Hou Huan Wu is the master of Wei Wen."
"Huan Wu? I've heard of it. When Yang Ci let him go, everyone in the world thought that he was an ant who was greedy for life and afraid of death. But in my opinion, he has great ambitions and endures humiliation. I'm locked up here, if Yang Zhong doesn't take the world, then it's probably his! ”
The sound of iron chains, Ye Dongyang turned his head, and the sound of bones looked a little weird.
"The sect leader is right!"
Wei Wen sighed lightly and shook his head slightly. He already regarded the princes of the world as playthings, but he didn't expect that in the end, he still underestimated the heroes of the world.
"What do you mean?"
"Yang Zhong died young. After his death, in the past ten years, the lord of my family has conquered the east and west, from a small prince with only a few counties, to a male lord who now holds the land of seven states. ”
"What do you say? Yang Zhong is dead! ”
"That's right! After Yang Zhong designed to capture the sect leader, he passed away soon after! ”
Nan Ke didn't know anything about the world in his dream, and he woke up from his dream for a hundred years. Hearing the news, Ye Dongyang's eyes froze, and he actually laughed and cried.
"A dying plan has trapped me here for more than ten years! Yang Xiaode, it's just that you are still ahead of me after all. Gratifying! What a hate! ”
Laugh and cry!
Ye Dongyang's mind tightened and looked at Wei Wen.
"Since you are Huan Wu's subordinate, what are you doing here?"
"Times have changed. Not long ago, Xia Yunhua, the king of Shu, died, and Yang Xian, the son of Yang Zhong, took charge of the government of Yizhou. He used you as bait to lure the Dongyang Sect into fighting with the Netherworld. That's why I'm here to be a mediator. As long as the two families are willing to make peace, Liang Hou is willing to treat the sect leader as a national teacher. The Dongyang Sect can also be taken back to the imperial court, and there is no need to be displaced as it is now. ”
Wei Wenwen thought that Ye Dongyang would gladly agree knowing that he could get out of prison, but he laughed out loud.
"You haven't practiced, have you?"
"Yes! But so what? ”
"In my life, the person I am most grateful to is my teacher Yuan Shoucheng, and the person I admire the most is Yang You'an. The one who wants to compete the most is Yang Xiaode, but the person who wants to kill the most is Lou Jing! Now, the first three people have all returned to the loess, and only Lou Jing is still alive. Why should I promise you? ”
"Why is the Sect Master so unwise? At the banquet back then, it was Yang Zhong who designed to capture you. Now that he is dead, why does the sect leader want to be angry with Lou Jing? ”
"Hahahaha!"
Laughing, there was no trace of resentment in Ye Dongyang's voice, but it was very frank.
"At the banquet back then, Yang Zhong wanted to capture me, but I also wanted to kill him! It's just that he is one step ahead of the rest and has a better skill. My skills are not as good as others, and I have been trapped for more than ten years, so what is the injustice? But it was Lou Jing who not only imprisoned me for more than ten years, but also wanted to forcibly seize the secret method of my sect. If I don't kill him, how can I relieve the bird anger I have suffered for more than ten years? ”
Looking at Ye Dongyang like this, Wei Wen finally understood what Lou Jing's laughter meant before he came?
I thought that Ye Dongyang was the simplest part of Yizhou's dead knot, but I didn't expect that he was the knot in this dead knot.
Wei Wen smiled bitterly, said no more, and turned to leave the prison.
