Here in the execution ground, some officials were cleaning up the dilapidated post-war mess, and after the crowd left, peace was restored here, and the air was still filled with the breath of the two sword immortals after the battle, the wind rose, the dust was blowing, and the scorching sun was still dazzling.

Camp of the Divine Machine, Prison Cell.

Yan Shu sat alone in the corner of the cell, her arms clasped around her body, as if she had lost her soul, motionless, not saying a word for a long time, and sobbing all the time.

Yan Li's body was placed in a special place for death row prisoners, and when Yan Li's death was dealt with, he would be buried.

Regarding the disposal of Yan Shu, there has been no order from above, and this time Han Yuan appeared, which aroused the great attention of the Shenji Battalion, and additional manpower has been sent to search for Han Yuan and the news of the divine funeral, as for Yan Shu, he was temporarily forgotten.

Until the evening, Yan Shu didn't say a word, and kept hiding in the corner in a daze.

After Yan Jinghong was busy with things, he came to the cell to see how Yan Shu was doing.

Outside the cell, Yan Jinghong shouted twice, but Yan Shu didn't react, didn't raise his head, and was silent like that.

Yan Jinghong sighed, at this time, Yan Shu's heart must be not happy, they have a deep sisterhood, they have reached it since childhood, and they depend on each other for their lives, and now that Yan Shu's sister is dead, Yan Shu is afraid that it will be a while, and she will not be able to accept it.

Subsequently, Yan Jinghong left here, and before leaving, he told the guards to take a good look at Yan Shu and try not to disturb her.

In the next few days, as long as he had time, Yan Jinghong would go to the cell to see Yan Shu, Yan Shu was still the same, not eating, drinking, or talking, the whole person was lying on the ground, with his back to the cell door, and had been sleeping.

The officials who were arrested by the saint were also punished, many were dismissed, and some were directly beheaded, although Xia Meng has been trying to find a way to rescue, but this time the saint's attitude is extremely tough, no one can say it, and he severely suppressed Xia Meng's arrogance.

After those officials were disposed of, the official positions were vacant, and Nian Shuchen was entrusted with important responsibilities and was reused by the saints.

After getting busy, Nian Shuchen rarely went home, and after Nian Lianggong recuperated for a few days, he also decided to go back to his hometown for a few days, not wanting to stay in this home where the tragedy had happened.

Because Nian Chuchen was too busy to spare time, he accompanied Nian Shuyu back to his hometown.

Nian Shuyu didn't want to return to his previous hometown, and he had been living in the Shenji Camp, so the Nian family's house was vacant.

In order to facilitate Nian Shuchen's office, the saint gave him a new mansion near Nian Shuchen's office, and then assigned some subordinates and maids.

One evening, Nian Shuchen came out of the ministry and was about to go home, and happened to meet Yan Jinghong on the road, and the two chatted, and later, they talked about Yan Shu.

Knowing that Yan Shu had been lying on the ground sleeping, not eating or drinking, like a walking corpse, Nian Shuchen wanted to go and see her, and then went to the Shenji Camp with Yan Jinghong.

When he came to the cell of Shenji Camp, Nian Shuchen stood outside the cell, looking at Yan Shu, who was still lying on the ground sleeping, wearing prison clothes, his hair was scattered, and there was some dry grass on the ground, not even a quilt. Yan Shu curled up and didn't move, Nian Shuchen felt as if he couldn't recognize this as Yan Shu.

"Are you okay?" asked Nian Shuchen softly.

After a while, Yan Shu turned over and saw Nian Shuchen standing outside, slightly startled, and then sat up from the ground.

"You, why are you here?"

After Yan Shu finished speaking, she lowered her head and covered her face with her hair, not wanting Nian Shuchen to see her appearance.

After being silent for a while, Nian Shuchen spoke: "I was about to go home, and I heard Commander Yan talk about your current situation, so I came over to take a look." Your sister is dead, and the mourning is good. ”

Facing people who have some blood hatred with him, Nian Shuchen doesn't know why he would say such a thing.

Yan Shu raised her head, looked at Nian Shuchen, and said, "Are you okay now?"

"Hmm. ”

Nian Shuchen replied and said, "I'm busy now, and I've been dealing with some things in the ministry. ”

After Yan Shu responded, the two were speechless for a while.

After a while, Yan Shu asked, "What are you going to do with me?"

Yan Jinghong said: "This, I don't know now, and you haven't been interrogated yet, so you can stay here first." ”

Nian Shuchen asked, "Commander Yan, after a while, will she also be beheaded?"

Yan Jinghong thought for a moment and said: "If it is according to the above meaning, she will definitely be beheaded, she is deeply guilty, and she will definitely not be spared." ”

Nian Shuchen turned his head to glance at Yan Shu, and then asked, "Commander Yan, is there any other punishment for her besides beheading?"

Yan Jinghong thought for a while and said, "Yes, if she doesn't behead herself, she will have to use other methods to atone for her sins." ”

"What's the method?" Nian Shuchen continued.

Yan Jinghong looked at Yan Shu and said, "That is to enter the Soul Purification Tower, through the baptism of divine fire, and burn the sins on the body." ”

"Soul Purifying Tower? I heard my eldest brother talk about it before, and I heard that inside this Soul Purifying Tower, there is a divine fire burning, which is very dangerous, and if you go in, you will die for a lifetime. ”

Yan Jinghong nodded and said: "Yes, this Soul Purifying Tower, is to eliminate the sins committed on the body through the burning of the Divine Fire, the heavier the sin, the more the Divine Fire will leave, and all those who enter this Soul Purifying Pagoda basically do not or come out." If Yan Shu doesn't want to be beheaded, then she can only enter this Soul Purification Tower, and if she can come out of it alive, then she can be a human again. ”

Nian Shuchen thought for a moment in his heart, and then said to Yan Shu: "Are you willing to enter this Soul Purification Tower?"

Although Yan Shu didn't know what this Soul Purifying Tower was, but now he was already like ashes, and when he entered the Soul Purifying Tower, there was nothing, so he nodded and agreed.

After seeing Yan Shu's agreement, Yan Jinghong said: "Okay, since you have agreed, then I will take you to the Soul Purification Tower tomorrow, according to the sins you committed before, you will have to undergo seven days of training inside, and after seven days, as long as you can come out of it alive, then you don't have to be locked up here anymore, you will be free." ”

"Freedom, Freedom, Freedom......"

Yan Shu whispered, the word "freedom" is a kind of new life for Yan Shu, countless nights, I dreamed of being free, and today, I finally have the opportunity to be free.

Nian Shuchen said: "Since you agree to enter the Soul Purification Tower, then tonight, you can rest well." ”

Yan Shu showed a longing look in her eyes and asked, "Then will you come back to see me tomorrow?"

Nian Shuchen hesitated for a moment and said, "If I have time tomorrow, I'll come over to see you." ”

"Okay, I'll wait for you. Yan Shu's eyes suddenly became fanatical, and a long-lost smile finally appeared on her face.

After Nian Shuchen and Yan Jinghong left, Yan Shu stood up from the ground and began to adjust his mood, preparing to enter the Soul Purification Tower in the best condition tomorrow.

After coming out of the cell, Nian Shuchen asked, "Commander Yan, if she enters the Soul Purification Tower, will she be in danger?"

Yan Jinghong said: "This Soul Purifying Pagoda is specially used to purify the sins on the prisoner's body, the heavier the sin, the more dangerous it will be, and there is another point, that is, if the prisoner sincerely wants to repent, relatively speaking, the danger will be smaller, and the more he resists, the more dangerous it will be." Waiting for Yan Shu to enter the Soul Purification Tower tomorrow, if she can accept the cultivation of the Divine Fire with peace of mind inside, there should not be much danger, but as for whether she can endure the pain of the Divine Fire Experience, it depends on herself. ”

After listening, Nian Shuchen nodded, thought about it in his heart, and then said goodbye to Yan Jinghong and walked towards the place where he lived.

After returning home, Nian Shuchen lay on the bed, tossing and turning, but he couldn't sleep, thinking in his heart that it would always be the matter of Yan Shu entering the Soul Purification Tower tomorrow. It wasn't until the second half of the night that sleepiness gradually hit, and Nian Shuchen finally fell asleep peacefully.

Yan Shu entered the Soul Purification Tower at noon and noon, so in the morning, Nian Shuchen hurriedly finished all the things at hand, and then hurried to the Shenji Camp, and finally came to the Shenji Camp before noon.

In front of the Soul Purification Tower, Yan Jinghong and Yan Shu stood side by side, waiting for noon to come, and Yan Shu looked behind from time to time, hoping that the person in his heart would appear.

In less than half an hour before noon, Nian Shuchen finally came. After seeing Nian Shuchen, Yan Shu's face was overjoyed, and her eyes eagerly looked at Nian Shuchen who came over.

"Shuchen, you're here. Yan Jinghong waved his hand in greeting.

"Commander Yan," after coming over, Nian Shuchen said hello, and then looked at Yan Shu.

"You're here. Yan Shu said softly.

"Hmm. ”

"Are you going to go in?" asked Nian Shuchen.

Yan Shu said: "At noon, I'm going in." ”

Nian Shuchen looked at the nine-story Soul Purifying Pagoda in front of him, it was majestic, and when he stood outside, he could feel a wave of heat coming to his face. Standing in this heat wave, my heart became calm, when I came, I was still a little troubled in my heart, when I stood here, I felt the heat wave in front of the Soul Purification Tower, and those troubles in my heart soon disappeared.

After staying in front of the Soul Purification Tower for a while, Yan Jinghong said: "Yan Shu, the hour has come, you should also go in, before you go in, eat these pills first." ”

Yan Jinghong took out the elixir that Yan Lituo brought to Yan Shu, he had never had a chance to give it to Yan Shu before, and now Yan Shu is about to enter the Soul Purification Tower, and it is time to give it to her.

Yan Shu took these two bottles of pills, and then poured out two pills from them, and couldn't help but think of her sister's appearance before her death.

After recalling for a while, Yan Shu looked at Yan Jinghong and Nian Shuchen, and swallowed all these two pills.

After eating, Yan Shu saluted the two of them and said: "Commander Yan, Nian Gongzi, I have been your enemy many times before, causing Nian Gongzi's family to be ruined, all kinds of sins in this life, if I can come out of it alive, I will atone for your sins, if I don't come out, then I will atone for you in the next life." ”

Yan Shu's words were sincere, every sentence was heartfelt, and after listening to Nian Shuchen, he also felt a little bad in his heart, but he couldn't say a word in a thousand words, so he could only nod to Yan Shu.

Yan Jinghong opened the door of the Soul Purification Tower and said: "Miss Yan Shu, you go in, I will wait for you outside, as long as you survive seven days inside, you can come out, and then you will be reborn and become a new person, if you don't come out after seven days, then, then everything is left to fate." ”

Yan Shu walked to the door of the Soul Purification Tower, and before entering, he glanced back at Nian Shuchen, full of affection, overflowing with words.

Looking back in this short time, Yan Shu feels like she has lived a lifetime, and only at this time can she really feel what she wants in life.

With bright eyes and a clever smile, Yan Shu turned around lightly and walked into the Soul Purification Tower.
