Chapter 227: Framed
Suddenly, Xu Chen had an idea, and he hurriedly stood up and called Wang Qi's name at the top of his voice.
The demon jailer ignored him at first, but then when he heard that Xu Chen was impatient, he turned around and scolded himself, and he couldn't help but be angry in his heart, so he slipped in and shouted: "Lao Tzu warns you, Lord Wei is good enough for you, you kid don't know how to lift!"
Xu Chen said: "What kind of shabby place is this, can you change me to a more spacious place to live?"
"Change places, do you think you're old, and you're still qualified to pick a position......" Before the words were finished, Wang Qi seemed to realize something, privately counted with his fingers, and couldn't help but say in a lost voice: "It's the fourth day, it's time to change the land for this kid." ”
Hearing Wang Qi's whispering, Xu Chen secretly rejoiced in his heart, he didn't have any hope to test Wang Qi's tone, but he didn't expect this guy to really agree.
"Then why don't you hurry up and change my room!" he pointed to the imprisoning cultivator's runic array pattern on the ground and said, "However, don't change me to another place with this kind of ghost drawing!"
"What, you said it's a ghost painting talisman?" Wang Qi was stunned and peeked at Xu Chen.
Xu Chen knew that he was observing whether he was pretending to be confused, so he quickly concealed the excitement in his heart, pretending to be ignorant and scolded: "I'm not a ghost, what do you mean by painting this, do you want to curse the master to die early?"
"Hehe!" Wang Qijiao laughed, and whispered in his mouth: "Damn, it turned out to be a dirt bun who doesn't understand anything, it's really a waste of that good thing, it's better to feed it to the dog!"
Xu Chen was a little strange when he heard what he said, and he was a little puzzled in his heart, but he was afraid that asking more questions would arouse Wang Qi's vigilance, so he stopped making a sound, and watched him open the cell door coldly, and took himself to another cell that was a little more spacious and tidy.
After Wang Qi left, Xu Chen observed the environment of the cell, and the more he looked at it, the more he was happy, and in the end he almost burst out in surprise, because he found that there was no talisman array to restrain spells in this cell!
Xu Chen couldn't help but wonder if he was dreaming, he just asked Wang Qi to change his cell with the idea of trying his luck, but the blind cat caught the dead mouse, and there was really not a talisman array set up in every cell in this prison!
"It seems that these demon dogs regard themselves as ordinary people who can't do spells!" Xu Chen said secretly: "Haha, I finally deceived others! This is easy to do, when the water aura in my body returns to normal, your end will come!"
He hurriedly glanced out a few times, until he was sure that Wang Qi would not come back, then he hid in the corner and meditated cross-legged and cultivated.
Unbeknownst to him, the result of his cultivation was the same as when he first entered the cell, he was still unable to condense the true qi in his body, these water aura were like naughty spirits slamming around in the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, Xu Chen couldn't turn them into energy and store them in the meridians at all.
This is really a strange thing, even a beginner apprentice could not encounter such a strange phenomenon in the process of cultivation, but now it really happened to him.
This made Xu Chen puzzled, thus making him realize that the true qi disorder in his body had nothing to do with the talisman array.
He calmed down and thought about it again, and noticed that the water aura that appeared in his body was a little different from before, and there seemed to be many impurities of unknown properties seeping into them.
Could it be that these impurities were interfering with the normal operation of the True Qi? Following this line of thought, Xu Chen closed his eyes again and entered the state of cultivation again.
However, after completing the cultivation, he still hadn't improved much, but the situation was a little better than the previous time, and now he could at least store some water aura in the acupoints.
However, Xu Chen still noticed a little clue, that is, the impurities contained in the true qi, the energy contained in them should not be underestimated, on the surface, it seems that they account for less than one percent of his own water aura, but they can interfere with his own orders very effectively, so that the water aura in his body does not obey his command.
Xu Chen didn't know where these impurities came from, and he didn't know what they were, but now that he had found the root of the problem, he also breathed a sigh of relief, and decided to try to use different methods to remove these impurities that did not belong to his body in the future cultivation time.
This made Xu Chen realize that he might have to stay on Lingguang Island for a while.
After all, he still doesn't know the distribution of the strength of the demons on this island, but at least judging from the few demon dogs he has seen in the past few days, the demons are likely to do some unsightly things on this island.
Just as Xu Chen was thinking wildly, he heard a very piercing "clang" sound outside, very similar to the sound made by something like iron when it rubbed against the ground.
As soon as he listened closely, he could see that it was the sound of heavy chains dragging on the ground, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and secretly guessed, "Is there a new prisoner like me who is going to be locked in?"
He hurried to the door of the cell, craned his neck and looked into the dark, damp corridor, only to find that the dog king Qi and another jailer were dragging a wounded prisoner in.
When the prisoner passed in front of Xu Chen's cell, he looked through the rusty iron bars and found that his face was covered in blood and his whole body was trembling, almost being forcibly dragged away by Wang Qi and another fierce jailer.
When Xu Chen observed the prisoner, he also glanced at Xu Chen, and there was no color in his eyes.
When Xu Chen saw this look, he only felt a chill in his heart, because it was the light of despair that only came out when he completely lost confidence in life and was bent on dying.
"What did he do to be tortured by your group of demon dogs to look like this is not human, not a ghost?"
Xu Chen thought sadly and angrily, and couldn't help but ask loudly, "What did this person do, and you beat him like this?"
The jailer who had never seen Xu Chen immediately shouted: "Do you want to rebel, don't ask if it's none of your business, otherwise the uncle will pick your skin!"
Hearing these threatening words, Xu Chen's whole body was filled with anger all of a sudden, and at this time, the jailer happened to be close to him, Xu Chen's big hand stretched out from the crack in the railing, and immediately grabbed his shoulder, and said sharply: "If you don't make it clear to the master, don't think about leaving!"
After speaking, Xu Chen grabbed hard, this grasp used almost all his strength, he wanted to make this jailer taste a little bitter, it was best to pinch the other party and scream in pain.
didn't scratch the other party, but on the contrary, Xu Chen felt a blazing high temperature passing down his palm, which made him let go immediately.
"Hehe, dare to play yin with the uncle!" The jailer smiled gloomily, and punched through the railing, and suddenly a fireball hit Xu Chen, if he hadn't dodged in time, he would have almost caught fire.
"Damn, you dare to hide!" The jailer was so angry that he directly took out the key and prepared to go in and beat Xu Chen.
"Forget it, this kid has been taken care of by Master Wei, brother, don't be like him!" Wang Qi hurriedly came over to persuade him.
"Hmph, just like his garbage, Lord Wei still cares about him, why does he still let him stay in the cell?"
While the two were pulling, the demon general who saved Xu Chen suddenly appeared behind them and shouted, "What are you two doing?"
The jailer who beat Xu Chen pretended to be aggrieved and said, "Lord Tang, you saved this kid, but he has no gratitude, he not only beat the villain just now, but also scolded you for being bloody!"
Hearing that this jailer framed himself in front of him, Xu Chen couldn't help but be furious, and immediately retorted: "Let you go/damn bullshit, why did the master scold you?"
How do you know that Wang Qi smiled beside him and said, "Lord Tang, you kid not only scolded you, but also Lord Wei also scolded you." ”
The demon general's face suddenly changed, and he said angrily: "You kid really doesn't know what to do! escort me out, and the official will take him to see Master Wei now!"
The two jailers immediately snickered, and they quickly threw the dying prisoner into the cell next to him, and then turned around and opened Xu Chen's cell, carrying him straight out.
Coming out of the dungeon, there were tall trees on both sides of the road that were impermeable, although Xu Chen couldn't see the sea, but he also faintly heard the sound of waves in his ears, and he couldn't help but secretly say: "This group of demon dogs really didn't lie to me, this is really an island, and the area is not small." ”
Along the way, Xu Chen saw the demon soldiers of the squad patrolling from time to time, and there were several demon warrior-level leaders standing guard every other distance, and he wondered in his heart: "But all the islands are far away from the Central Plains, and from a military point of view, there is almost no strategic value, but why is it heavily guarded here?"
This made him realize that this island must be hiding some ulterior secret, otherwise the demon clan would not have sent heavy troops to guard it, and let a demon saint come here to guard it.
After walking for more than half an hour, after turning a corner along the way, a blood-jade-like courtyard appeared gloomily in the secluded forest in front of me.
Looking around, this courtyard was deserted, but there were several stone-carved demon generals on duty outside the door, and after the surnamed Tang stepped forward to say hello to them, he escorted Xu Chen in.
Before entering the door, Xu Chen heard the laughter of a woman inside, and after the two jailers pushed him into the door, Xu Chen saw Wei Feng sitting on a tiger skin chair, with his hand on the thin waist of a young woman, she was almost half-naked, and was holding a wine glass to feed Wei Feng to drink, and suddenly saw Xu Chen and others come in, scared and screamed, hiding behind Wei Feng like a cat.
"Baby, let's go get some rest first. ”
When the woman slipped into the back room, Wei Feng's face suddenly became gloomy and asked, "What's the matter?"
Wang Qi and the jailer hurriedly stepped forward to tell what had happened, but the so-called facts they said were all framing Xu Chen.
Of course, Xu Chen couldn't hold back when he heard this, and said loudly: "Nonsense, they are spreading rumors!"
Wang Qi's face changed suddenly, probably because of the presence of his master, he suddenly came to Xu Chen and shouted: "Stinky boy, you dare to accuse me, Lao Tzu beat you to death!" As he spoke, he slapped Xu Chen in the face.
Wei Feng suddenly coughed dryly, Wang Qi's hand immediately froze in mid-air, turned around and knelt down, pretending to be very aggrieved and said, "My lord, this kid is obviously a wolf who can't be fed, and if he keeps it, he will bite you back......"
Wei Feng smiled: "Oh, do you still have to work hard to teach this official how to do things?"
"My lord, you misunderstood, the villain has no such intention!" Wang Qi's face turned white with fright, and he kowtowed like pounding garlic.
"Get out, get out of here for both!" Wei Feng slammed the table.
Wang Qi and the jailer didn't dare to say a word of fright, and walked away with their tails between their legs.
