Chapter 20: The Prisoner

"This can only be a different world created by real gods, and Old Man Su definitely doesn't have this ability. As if seeing Xu Chen's thoughts, Wang Shen's voice whispered in his ear: "The illusion has been broken by you, and the next thing to do is to find Su Jingzhi's master and apprentice, find out the black hand behind the scenes from them, and leave here safely." ”

"Good. Xu Chen nodded in response, knowing that this was an extremely difficult thing for him, but he had no choice, the path of the warrior was originally to the death, as long as he did not lose the will to fight, he would never give up.

Wang Shen asked with concern: "Aren't you afraid that you are about to face a terrifying opponent like Hu Yukun?"

"I'm afraid, I'm a little scared. Xu Chen did not deny it, and then said resolutely: "But I am even more afraid that I can't leave this ghost place, since Uncle Wang pointed out the only way out, I have to try it anyway, as for the success or failure, let God decide." ”

"Young man, good job, show your courage to the fullest, and let the little old man see what kind of effect it can achieve!" Wang Shen sighed heartily.

Xu Chen asked again, "Where should I go to find them?"

"You don't have to worry about this, now that the illusion has been broken, the god who controls everything behind it will definitely arrange a chance for you to meet Su Jingzhi's master and apprentice. ”

While the two were talking, the sky darkened, and in the blink of an eye, night fell, and there was no starlight in the sky.

"Oh, why is it dark?" Xu Chen said in wonder.

Wang Shen comforted him and said, "Don't be nervous, time in the different dimension has been synchronized with reality, if I guess correctly, you will soon be able to find Su Jingzhi's hiding place." ”

At this moment, the night wind blew violently, blowing Xu Chen's long hair in the wind, and he heard a beast-like roar in the air.

At some point, a deep and winding stone path appeared, and at the end of the road was a delicate little building, which was brightly lit, and the roar of the beast came from the small building.

"Is this where Su Jingzhi is hiding, why is he hiding there?" With a series of questions, Xu Chen ran all the way with his sword, and as he ran, he saw that the edge of the small building seemed to be emitting a strange red light, and the closer he got to it, the more dazzling the red light became, and the air was like a sea of blood surging over.

This made Xu Chen have an illusion in an instant, as if Su Jingzhi's master and apprentice had turned into murderous demons and monsters and sat in the small building, waiting for him to take the initiative to come and die.

Finally came to the small building, Xu Chen was about to kick open the closed door when he suddenly froze.

He saw that the stone steps were stained with blood, but they were still fresh, and had not turned the dark brown of the dried up. Not only the feet, but also the pillars on both sides of the gate were covered with blood stains and blood marks.

It was like a blood rain had just fallen, and there was red everywhere, stimulating his eyes, and at the same time, Xu Chen smelled a strange smell of blood in his nose, which made him suddenly understand that the demonic red light he began to see came from this.

Xu Chen was bold after all, he was not intimidated by this strange scene, and after a moment of hesitation, he flew up and kicked down the crimson door.

With a "boom", the wooden door broke into several pieces and scattered to the ground, and a more dazzling red light burst out from the room, forcing Xu Chen to squint his eyes to deal with all this.

He was surprised to find that there was not a single light in the room, but it was as bright as day, as if there was a glowing gas in the air, it was fluttering strangely, emitting a demonic light that was bloodier than outside the door.

In the center of the building, there is a bronze tripod furnace more than one person high, and there is no fire under the tripod, but the hot water in the tripod furnace is boiling, and it is a red color that is more disgusting than the demonic red light.

Xu Chen's pupils contracted suddenly, because he saw a dead body lying on the edge of the Ding furnace, and since its upper body was exposed outside the Ding, Xu Chen easily recognized the deceased as the young man who had been taken out of the dungeon by the jailers and tortured.

"Alas, I was too late to get him out of the clutches!"

Xu Chen thought sadly and angrily, and then shouted: "Su Jingzhi, you old immortal, get out of here!"

"Hahahaha!" There was a gloomy laugh behind the Ding furnace, and Xu Chen found that there was a statue of a god with a proportion about the height of a person behind the Ding, and the cigarette smoke was filled below, and the strange red light in the room became a little cloudy and blurry in front of this statue, making people look hazy and hazy, and it was difficult to distinguish the appearance of the statue.

But Xu Chen still easily recognized it as the statue of Dijiang, because the rigid statue had no head around its neck.

A sigh came from behind the statue of Dijiang, Su Jingzhi was helped out by two black-clothed men, and as if he didn't see Xu Chen, he sat cross-legged on the futon in front of the Ding furnace, and recited the scriptures with his back to Xu Chen.

"Old thing, this young man has no grudge against you, why did you kill him and soak his body in the copper tripod?" Xu Chen asked loudly, if it weren't for the fact that the other party was a powerless old man, he would have stabbed this vicious old man with a sword.

"Xu Shaoxia, don't be impatient, wait for a while, the doubts in your heart will be answered here in the old decay. ”

Xu Chen said angrily: "I really didn't expect that you are even more ferocious than the bandits and bandits, you are simply inhumane!"

"Alas, you are right, but no one can stop my revenge plan!" Su Jingzhi sighed and said: "For this poor guy, the old man has no choice but to recite the scroll "Taishang Cave Xuanling Bao Tianzun Says the Wonderful Sutra of Saving Suffering and Pulling Out Sins" to surpass him, hoping that he can vote for a good family in the next life." ”

Originally, when he heard Su Jingzhi talk about his tragic experience in the ghost tower, Xu Chen still had a little sympathy for the old man, but now seeing that he was unscrupulous in order to take revenge, his chest was suddenly filled with anger, and his eyes roared like fire: "Old thing, quickly ask Hu Yukun to come out and fight me to the death!"

"Do you want to seek justice for the villagers? He is not related to you, why bother to stand up for him?"

"Bah, everyone has the right to live, how can you wantonly take it away!"

"Hehe, what you said is really righteous and awe-inspiring, everything in the world is based on strength, if you don't have strong strength, you can only be at the mercy of others!"

"Shut up for me!" Xu Chen yelled: "I didn't come here to listen to your crooked reasoning, tell Hu Yukun to come out, otherwise I will destroy this ghost place immediately!"

Su Jingzhi said lightly: "Young people are too impulsive, you can't destroy this place." ”

"Yes, don't think that if you find an evil god and beast as a shelter, you will have nothing to fear!"

"Don't worry, I'll show you something, and I'll make sure you change your mind right away. ”

Su Jingzhi glanced at the two attendants beside him, and the two guys turned around and walked away, dragging out two bags of hemp from behind the idol.

They untied the rope that bound the mouth of the bag, and poured out two men with large ties of cloth in their mouths.

Suddenly, Xu Chen's whole body blood burned, and he wanted to run over to rescue the two prisoners, but he was forcibly stopped by two black-clothed attendants.

When the two attendants removed the strip of cloth from the mouth of the person who was tied up, Xu Chen's face changed, and he said sadly: "Senior Brother Lin, Zhao Lei, why are you here?"

Lin Yu and Zhao Lei looked at Xu Chen with embarrassed expressions, and they were embarrassed to speak.

Xu Chen turned his eyes to Su Jingzhi and sighed and said, "I can't figure it out, why Hu Yukun can find out that I am pretending to be Situ Kong, and your two subordinates can confuse me with the appearance of Zhang Youde and Li Heixiong in the illusion, it turns out that all this is because you caught Senior Brother Lin." ”

"Yes, but this kid is a little the bone, and it took me a lot of effort to pry his mouth open. ”

Lin Yu said in a low voice, "Xu Chen, I'm sorry. ”

Xu Chen saw that the two of them were scarred, and he suddenly felt a little unbearable, he forced a smile and said, "It's okay, I caused you to suffer, I'll find a way to save you later." ”

"Don't play tricks, or I'll let them see Hades right away!"

The two attendants drew their swords and put them on the necks of Lin Yu and Zhao Lei.

"Old thing, you are so despicable!

"Hehe, Xu Shaoxia is really a man of temperament, you treat people with sincerity, others may not repay you equally. Don't you know why the two of them are always with you?"

"Senior brothers are together, do you still need a reason?"

"Hmph, naivety! He's been looking for an opportunity to frame you, and you don't know it. ”

"Don't sow discord with the master, and let them go if they know each other. Xu Chen, who has a simple personality, thought that Su Jingzhi was playing right and wrong.

Su Jingzhi said coldly: "Originally, the old man didn't know anything about your origin, but after the two of them confessed, I knew everything." ”

Then he smiled faintly and slowly talked about how Lin Yu and Zhao Lei were captured by him.

After Huang Zhongjie's family died tragically that day, the god king Feng Qianxun burned down Mingyue Villa, Lin Yu and Zhao Lei had nowhere to go, so they had to take the bounty given by the previous owner of Huang Zhuang to travel in all directions, and finally had an accident when passing through Zhushan.

The thieves in the village are all veterans of the road, and seeing that the burden on their bodies is very heavy, they suddenly knew that the two of them were carrying a lot of yellow and white things, so they returned to the village with a bad heart to inform Ye Tianxiong to come and rob the money.

Although Ye Tianxiong knew how to use spells, but which was the opponent of Lin Yu, who had cultivated authentic divine methods in the Divine Mountain, he was beaten by him after only a few moves. Ye Tianxiong saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly withdrew with his subordinates to the cottage turtle and couldn't shrink.

Originally, the matter came to an end, and if Lin Yu and Zhao Lei left, there would be no accidents, but Zhao Lei had a crooked mind at this time.

He heard those thieves call Ye Tianxiong the king, and thought to himself: "This mountain king is so bad, and his subordinates are also a group of pus, but his cottage is very strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if I miss this feng shui treasure, won't I regret it for the rest of my life?"

So he persuaded Lin Yu to attack Zhushan with him, trying to drive away Ye Tianxiong and take the cottage as his own, and rekindle his dream of being a mountain king.

Lin Yu didn't have the mind to occupy the mountain as the king like Zhao Lei, but now it was the season of distress, Chongwu Mountain couldn't go back for a while, and it was okay to use this place as a shelter for the time being, he couldn't help but be a little moved under Zhao Lei's instigation.

In addition, he heard that the robbers in Zhushan were lawless, openly robbing the money of passing merchants, not to mention, and also expropriating the grain in the surrounding villages in the name of collecting protection money, and forcibly pulling the villagers up the mountain to join the gang. Lin Yu was suddenly angry, so he teamed up with Zhao Lei to go up the mountain to find Ye Tianxiong to settle accounts.

Needless to say, Xu Chen also guessed seven or eight points, that is, his senior brother didn't expect that there was such a powerful character as Hu Yukun hidden in the cottage, but the two of them were both captured as prisoners, and they shook out all the previous things under the beating, so Su Jingzhi knew many things about himself.

Hearing this, Xu Chen thought that Su Jingzhi would stop the topic, but he said some things later, and it was these things that made Xu Chen more and more shocked, and many mysteries were gradually solved.
