Gradually, I felt the presence of consciousness, but my consciousness was still unclear, and there was a chaotic darkness in front of me.

I'm dead...... Then it's time for the underworld in front of you?

I often hear the old people in Nianjiazhai say that after a person dies, the soul will go to the underworld, drink all the Meng Po soup, forget the past, and then enter the reincarnation. But why don't you see the Lechuan River, the Nai He Bridge, and the black and white impermanence?

I panicked for no reason, as if I was in an invisible shackle, unable to speak, unable to struggle.

Squeak –

As I was meditating, I suddenly heard the slight heavy sound of the wooden door being unscrewed, and my consciousness slowly returned after this sound, and I tried to open my eyes, but I couldn't adapt to the sudden light, and I couldn't help but squint my eyes and barely follow the sound.

A young girl approached quickly, cloth-clad and corseted barrels, her sharpened cheeks sallow and indifferent, her thin lips pursed, and her eyelids drooping.

I tried hard to support the mattress with my elbows, and then I managed to support half of my body, and when I saw her coming, all kinds of doubts came up in my heart, and I hurriedly said tentatively, "Girl, please ......."

"Smack."

The girl ignored me, put the tray in her hand on the wooden table, turned around hurriedly, and walked away with the door.

I was startled, but it took me a while to come back to my senses and take a closer look around.

It looks like a bedroom, but it's just rudimentary. Lying on it was a bed made of hardwood, the bedding was white, and the corners were faded. Except for the wooden bed, there was only one table and two stools in the room, which were also rotten and dilapidated, and the corners were connected by cobwebs, and a layer of dust had been deposited.

Strange, what's this place to go?

Before I could think about it, my lower abdomen suddenly sang about the empty city plan, one after another. On the wooden table not far away, the tray brought by the girl exuded the aroma of food, I slowly got up, turned over and got out of bed, kicked my boots indiscriminately, and hurried to the table in a few steps.

I greedily inhaled the breath of food in the air, and suddenly I was involved in a huge pain in my chest, and I gritted my teeth, and in the middle of this action, I heard the sound of chains, and when I looked down, it was a finger-thick iron rope bound to my wrists.

Subconsciously his heart tightened, and he was vigilant, and he wanted to lean over and play with the iron rope, but he was really weak.

…… Anyway, depending on where he goes, what the situation is, fill his stomach left and right, and die not to be a starving ghost!

I was the only one in the broken house, so I didn't care about what to eat, and I picked up the bamboo chopsticks for a while, and the wind swept away. Rao is a thin porridge, the dish is salty to bitter, and when you are hungry, you feel very sweet. The food was not full, so I put the last few grains of rice at the bottom of the bowl into my mouth, and then put the chopsticks.

There was something in the belly, and I had time to think about it, but what I thought of was all endless doubts.

Where is this place? How will it be here?

The bloody battle curtain of the Penglai Altar is reproduced in my mind. The people under the altar were fighting endlessly, pouring rain and the sound of the howling wind. The empty and dazed phoenix eyes under the words, the sharp pain in the palm of the chest instantly, disappeared everything before the coma.

I was hit by Jing Bu Li's palm, and I was still alive, was Penglai who saved me? But fornicating with the demon world is such a great crime. If Jia Yu is still reasonable, after all, it is the South China Sea Tianyan Palace that is supported behind him. I have no background background, how can Penglai ......

Thinking about it this way, this place is naturally still in Penglai, if you really drive me down the mountain, how can you impose iron cables?

The door was opened again, and a man in cloth hurriedly entered, and I was startled, subconsciously took two steps back, and sat on the bed. The man stepped forward to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and I took the opportunity to look at him—he was tall and strong, with heavy eyebrows and big eyes, a dark complexion, and his facial features were quite peaceful.

"When you can get out of bed, come with me."

The strong man greeted me with a tray in one hand, I hesitated, to see that he was still loyal and honest, but I don't know if he can be trusted, after a lot of thoughts, he couldn't help laughing at himself, he has fallen into this situation, what else can people do to me?

After going out, I looked left and right, and I was in one of a row of houses, but the layout here was a bit like the place where the new disciples were stationed before the entrance selection, but it was much more simple and simple. I followed the strong man for a while, and at the end of the house, there were gradually human voices, and there were men and women, all of whom were not very old, some of them had picked up flat poles, and the buckets were hanging on both sides, and they were walking leisurely, some were chopping wood, and some were washing rice...... It seems that they are all busy, working in this rather large courtyard. In the distance, there are lush Hunan bamboos.

Xiangzhu ...... Could it be the West Temple?

"Stake, who is this? New to the scene? "A young girl of my age walked from afar, dressed in a thorn skirt, with long hair pulled up, and carrying a huge basket on her back. Although it doesn't look as free and easy as Han Yuan's heroic spirit, it also has a bit of heartiness, approached, looked me up and down, and frowned slightly, "Hey, I said, our Houhou Hall is a place to be a miscellaneous envoy, this girl looks at Wenwen weak, what use do we want such delicate bones?" Send it away as soon as possible. ”

"It was ordered from above, saying that he was sent here to do work," the strong man scratched his head honestly, and seemed to have some respect for the girl, "How do I know, and say that if I wake up, I will take it to see Yingxiu Zhenren." ”

"Come here with a stake to carry firewood!" Someone screamed in the distance, and the strong man was embarrassed, "Sister Qing'er, this ......"

The girl waved her hand, "You're busy, I'll take her there." ”

"Sister Xie Qing'er!"

The strong man was amnesty, a few steps away, I was embarrassed to stand still, I don't know what to do, the girl was not born, but went straight to hold my arm, as if it was an old acquaintance, "Hey, if I am the right person, you don't have to worry about it, just say that you have a fine skin and tender meat, raw and Zhou just looks, this is not a good place to treat, I'm afraid you can't stand it!" ”

I nodded, thanked me woodenly, and let her lead me all the way around, still a little dazed, "It's okay, I'm sorry for you, this ...... Dare to ask what is this Penglai, how come I have never seen it? ”

She was leading the way, but when she heard this, she turned her head in shock and looked at me in disbelief, "Sister, aren't you new?" This is the aftermath hall, and the family has nothing to rely on, so they are sent here to do rough work, chopping firewood, boiling water, watching the stove, sewing clothes and so on. Seeing that I was silently bowing my head and saying nothing, he smiled, "Hey, it's okay, it's okay if you can't pass the entry selection, although we can't learn from other disciples in general, but the real people here will also teach some fist and foot kung fu, as long as you keep your duty." ”

She led me down the hallway to a room that seemed to be neatly decorated, knocked lightly, and said respectfully, "Hello, the new man is waiting outside the door." ”

The back room was quiet for a moment, and a deep female voice came from all over the place, "Let her in." ”

The girl who called Qing'er should be, whispered to me, "This Yingxiu real person is very old-fashioned, and he is in charge of the aftermath, don't you dare to offend her, I see that you are quite clever, if she attacks you, you just respond, don't contradict it, ah?" Seeing that I nodded in response, he turned and left.

I took a deep breath and pushed the door open.

The room is not big or small, very clean, there are pen and ink calligraphy and paintings on the wall, and behind the long mahogany table sits a woman in brown cross-legged, with slightly drooping facial features, cold and solemn.

"The disciple has seen a real person."

The robed woman was silent for a while, slowly raised her head, and asked me, "Disciple? What kind of disciple are you? ”

I was stunned by this sudden questioning, I didn't know how to answer, I looked up at her blankly, and there were some doubts in my heart, she got out of the bed, and walked towards me step by step, knocking on the ring ruler in her hand.

He walked over to me and looked around, "What's it called?" ”

This overly arrogant tone made me feel a little unhappy in my heart, but remembering Qing'er's words, I didn't dare to attack immediately, but just told the truth, "Go back to the real person, don't be surprised." ”

She was stunned for a moment, and when she saw the iron rope on my ankle, she smiled speciously, "What about the strange way, the appearance of a demon...... You come with me. ”

Without waiting for any reaction from me, I strode out directly, I didn't know what to do, so I had to follow her quickly, listening to her and the woman guarding the door, "Pass it down, everyone will gather at the back of the hall, half a pillar of incense, there must be no mistake." ”

"Yes." The girl responded respectfully, and didn't dare to look at me, so she immediately retreated, and I followed Na Yingxiu while walking briskly, and secretly said in my heart, this real person's position in the Houhou Hall is really stable, what Qing'er said is true, but I don't know if her right is out of prestige, or ......

Following the real person all the way, she didn't say a word, and naturally I didn't ask anything more, but the chain of my ankles jingled and jingled as I walked, which was quite heavy.

And this heaviness is not only due to the chain itself, but also from the oppression it exudes, which seems to bind most of my strength.

Be...... Be on your guard.

Thinking about this, an inexplicable desolation suddenly came to my heart, and somehow I sneered bitterly and shook my head helplessly. This subtle movement was glanced at by the real person, and then he lost his expression and followed her silently.

All the way twists and turns, to the so-called Houhou Hall backyard flat ground, where there have been gathered a lot of teenagers of the same age as me, seeing Yingxiu real people coming steadily, all respectfully bowed their heads to say hello, my eyes skimmed over the crowd, is looking at Qing'er, she looked at me, looked a little worried, wanted to say something, wanted to say and swallowed back.

On the flat ground there was a wide wooden platform, on which were tied with thick and tamped plum blossom piles, and the real person led me to the platform, glanced at it, and it was quiet all around.

As soon as Yingxiu raised his hand slightly, two sturdy male disciples came to the stage and pressed towards me step by step with their bare hands.

I felt ominous as early as when I saw all kinds of things, and at this moment the person who came was not good, and I couldn't help but be vigilant. He took a few steps back and asked the real person, "Yingxiu Zhenren, the disciple doesn't understand, what do you mean by this?" ”

Yingxiu Zhenren didn't look at me either, and his calm tone didn't carry the slightest emotion, "You don't have to be in a hurry, after listening to the notice, it's not too late to ask." ”

After speaking, the two male disciples came up to tie my shoulders, I frowned, suppressed the urge to fight back, remembered Qing'er's words, and let him cut his arms.

Na Yingxiu pulled out a stack of letters from his sleeve, shook them away, and said in a solemn voice

In the, shook off, and said solemnly, "Adhering to the order, the sinners are not shocked, fornicating with the demon world, colluding inside and outside, practicing forbidden arts, betraying the teacher, reckless crimes, and losing my morality." Received mercy, instructed to tolerate his blame, exempt himself from death, and think about the aftermath, and then have a rebellious heart, don't talk about killing! ”

The word was extremely dignified, and the last sentence was forced to come like a cold drink, and the audience was in an uproar, and there was a lot of discussion, and I couldn't bear such sharp words anymore, and I suddenly wanted to leap forward, but I was restrained by two strong men, still struggling, "You don't believe it...... How have I ever betrayed my teacher, no! Let go of me, I'm going out! ”

The real man turned around suddenly, bullied forward, and shook the letter at me, "This is the master's edict, can you be wronged?" Forgive you for your death, it is a great mercy, what sophistry do you have? ”

My fierce struggle gradually subsided, my chest still heaving, and my cheeks flushed.

- This is the edict of the master, can it also wronged you?

A contemptuous word was like a heavy hammer hitting my chest, and a heavy sense of oppression suddenly hit, and I only felt that I lost my strength and speech, and I was stunned.

Isn't he?

…… I don't know.

After being silent for a long time, he regained some thoughts, and with some difficulty, he cautiously spoke, "Yes...... Which one is in charge...? ”
