Chapter 17: Imprisonment
In the depths of Yunwu Mountain, the Shenji Gate Organ City, all the 70 miles in a radius are built with Huagang Stone Rock, the city wall is ten zhang thick, the wall head is twenty zhang wide, the city wall is about 200 zhang high, the organ city is like a flood of divine beasts in the general entrenchment of the old bear ditch of Yunwu Mountain.
Today, the results of three consecutive days of hard work are remarkable, no, Jiang Xiaobai and the other three have already pulled the delicate parts to the front of the organ city. Three days ago, Yan Qingqing said that when he was herding a horse by the river, the thin red horse was lost for some reason, Xiaobai was very distressed, after all, the thin red horse had accompanied him for three years, and he was very annoyed, but Yan Qingqing swore to the sky that he seemed to have hysteria that day, I don't know what the reason was, and she didn't remember how the horse was lost.
"Master, can the delicate parts we made be selected by the Divine Machine Gate? I heard that the person in charge of receiving the goods is extremely harsh?" Assyria had been very worried, afraid that the selection would not be successful, and he asked cautiously.
Xie Shishi showed a look of disdain: "What kind of prince do you say, the wooden parts that Xiaobai and I made this time are made of 10,000-year-old Bodhi logs, thousands of years of heavenly silk thread, and gold and steel nails. ”
Assyria was a little surprised, he had heard of these materials from his father, but he had never seen them, "Master, tell me about it, it's not that I don't believe in Xie Ye, it's just that this cowhide is a little big." ”
Jiang Xiaobai looked at the wooden parts on the board car with pity, and his face was a little disappointed, "Assyria, this is made of ancestral materials from Senior Brother's family, and this is all a sacrifice made by Senior Brother for the selection fee of the four of us. ”
The craftsmen who delivered the goods discharged a long queue of about half a mile, and Jiang Xiaobai and the three of them worked hard to squeeze a way out of the crowd and came to the team.
There were several tables in front of the gate of the Organ Castle at this time, and a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old was holding a carefully crafted wheel-shaped ring to inspect it carefully, and then began to scold, "As far as the wheel-shaped device you have built, and the face to be delivered to my god machine door, as far as your craftsmanship is concerned, at most one of the ten parts is qualified." I didn't say that I didn't remind you, the steel and charcoal you used were not qualified, others said that your craftsmanship was not good, in my opinion, you cut corners and wanted to use the charcoal town of Sun Town to heat up, it was just wishful thinking. ”
The reprimanded craftsman only promised, and nodded incessantly, so that the young man promised to pull all the parts back for rework, and he could come over to deliver them next time, so he left with confidence.
"Master, you see that this Divine Machine Gate is so domineering, but it is just a slave of the Divine Machine Gate, they are all so good, if they are students of the Divine Machine Academy, then they can't have their tails cocked to the sky?" I thought to myself, in the future, I will also become a pillar of the Shenji Gate one day.
"What is there to envy, this evil slave has no good end, one day he will meet a master who is a hundred times stronger than him, then his end will be even worse. This is the rule of the wicked, whether you understand it or not, doll. Saying that, Xiaobai knocked heavily on Assyria's head a few times, and Assyria looked at the two masters in front of him with some pity, and didn't want to talk more.
"Xiaobai, the person in charge of acceptance is called Chen Ergou, don't look like a human, there is a lot of bad water in the stomach, and he often takes advantage of it. Xie Shishi reminded Jiang Xiaobai in a whisper on the side.
Chen Ergou sat at the table, big Malaysia golden knife, and shouted loudly: "Next, hurry up, hurry up, it's not early, I'm going to have lunch!"
Jiang Xiaobai and his entourage came to Chen Ergou's table with a cart, and when they saw that they were three teenagers who had not grown up, their faces darkened, they took the parts handed over by Xie Shishi, looked at them carefully for a while, and suddenly shouted: "Come on, arrest these three people, they dare to use thousands of miles of forbidden wood to build parts, these materials are from unknown sources, and they must be inspected in detail." ”
At this time, the three of them who were immersed in joy were shocked, especially Xie Shishi, who was furious, "Second Master Chen, will you be mistaken, these materials are my family's ancestral heirlooms." ”
"Hmph, 10,000-year-old Bodhi logs, thousand-year-old silk, even my Shenji Gate is rare, if you have any grievances, let's go to the Hall of Elders to explain. ”
After speaking, as soon as he raised his hand, three divine guards rushed over, ordering Jiang Xiaobai and the other three to go forward, and one of the divine guards also collected refined parts, and pushed the cart to enter the organ city.
"Wait, Second Master Chen, how can you conclude that the origin of our things is unknown, if there is no evidence, I will sue you for framing me. Jiang Xiaobai stopped the cart with both hands, wanting to hear Chen Ergou's explanation.
Although Chen Ergou was a slave of the Shenji Gate, he was not even a disciple of the outer gate of the Shenji Gate, and at this time, he was furious when he heard that one of these Sun Town craftsmen who regarded him as ants in his eyes actually questioned him.
"Little rabbit, don't you want to live, do you want to die?" said he stretched out his right palm with a protruding joint, and hit Jiang Xiaobai's door with a palm, the palm wind was fierce, Jiang Xiaobai suddenly felt cold all over, and his whole body was shrouded in the palm wind, and the craftsmen on both sides retreated.
Jiang Xiaobai thought to himself, my life is on hold, but at this time, Xie Shishi stepped forward and took this slap for Xiaobai, but his whole body flew out diagonally ten zhang out, and he was about to fall to the ground. The cuff of the god guard standing next to the board car suddenly automatically stretched out a mechanical arm that looked like a short crossbow, and with the press of a button, the crossbow spit out a thin thread like silk and flew towards Xie Shishi's body like lightning, and when everyone reacted, Xie Shishi's body had been pulled back with the retraction of the silk thread.
The guard just raised his fingers slightly, and Xie Shi fell to the ground like a fallen leaf, his face was still terrified, his mouth was open, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Bold Chen Ergou, dare to make a move without permission, aren't you afraid of my Shenjimen's family law?" the Shenji guard reprimanded Chen Ergou.
"General, it is ridiculous that these three people can use ancient spiritual objects to make delicate parts, and the villain concluded that these three people are thieves, so he did it. Chen Ergou nodded and bowed, and kept accompanying the god guard.
"Don't take it as an example, Chen Ergou, don't think that the eldest prince will spoil you and behave nonsense, do you want my thousand-year-old reputation of the Shenji Gate to be damaged?"
"The little ones don't dare anymore, it's the villain's fault, it's the villain's fault. Chen Ergou bowed and saluted, not even accompanied.
The divine guard turned around and said to Jiang Xiaobai and the three of them, who were still in a daze at this time: "You three come with me, if the elder hall investigates clearly, there is nothing wrong with the three of you, I will put you and others, and those parts will be returned together." ”
Jiang Xiaobai glanced at Xie Shishi and Assyria, then pushed the cart and followed the three divine guards into the organ city.
Although he was forcibly escorted to the Organ City, Assyria was a little excited, and finally came to the Divine Machine Gate of his dreams, and he looked around from time to time.
"Tsk, sir, this city is really majestic, taller than my father's imperial city, and when I return to the Mae Sot Continent, I will also build such a city. Master, when the time comes, you will come to live with me and make sure that you are satisfied. ”
Jiang Xiaobai's face darkened for a while, this Assyria is a chatter, at this moment, he still has the leisure to think about this, "Shut up, talk nonsense, go back and peel your skin." ”
Jiang Xiaobai and the others were taken into a prison-like compound after marching through a few streets, and the gate was closed with the sound of a bell. Assyria began to get scared, "Master, this is the rhythm of putting us in prison, how can you say that we will suffer an unjustified disaster." Assyria began to weep aloud.
"What are you crying for, I will let you go if I find out, and if I cry again, I will confine you, Lao Cao, bring the three prisoners, and I will go through the handover procedures. The guard shouted to an old jailer.
"Master General, I haven't had a prisoner in the Divine Machine Gate for thirty years, but this red luck has let me catch up with Lao Cao!" said Lao Cao laughed loudly, his face flushed.
"Lao Cao, you can't mess around. These three people are craftsmen in Sun Town, and when the matter is clear, let them go, I think it must be the industry created by Chen Ergou. ”
"Master General, I understand, speaking of that Chen Ergou, he still owes me three pieces of money. Okay, it's done, you can leave these three people to me. ”
After the three divine guards handed Jiang Xiaobai and the three of them into the hands of the old jailer, they said goodbye and left, and the three of them were taken to a large room, and as soon as the bronze door outside closed, there was no sound outside.
Assyria held his head in his hands and kept muttering, "What can I do about this, I am here to study, I am in prison, and if you say that if it reaches the ears of my father, where will I put my face?" Master, do you want to find a way?"
Jiang Xiaobai helped Xie Shi on the bed and sat down, seeing that his face was dark, he unbuttoned his coat, and there was a blue and purple handprint on his chest, Assyria also hurriedly came over to help, and when the two of them helped Xie Shi to lie down, the young man suddenly lost consciousness.
"Master, what should we do, it seems that Xie Ye is seriously injured. ”
"Assyria, if you cry again, I'll make half of your head bald. When Assyria heard this, he immediately jumped up and hugged Jiang Xiaobai tightly.
"Master, you are really my nobleman, you can perform the magic of that night again, break this prison door, and we will have a chance to escape. ”
Jiang Xiaobai looked at his hands in some surprise and yelled at Assyria: "Shut up, I need to be quiet now, and I won't take you out if I make any more trouble." ”
Time was passing, Jiang Xiaobai closed his eyes tightly, sat cross-legged on the bed, and thought about a way to get out in his mind. Assyria sat on the ground, chanting in his heart the blessings of the gods and Buddhas.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside, and the jailer Lao Cao came in with a large wooden plate, with two basins and three bowls, one basin was porridge and the other was steamed buns.
"I'm hungry, this is lunch, I'll eat it, and I'll pay attention to you when the Elder Hall is free, hey, this is what Chen Ergou is looking for." So saying, Lao Cao put the wooden plate on the table, turned around and went out, and as the prison door closed again, Assyria rushed up, took a steamed bun and put it in his mouth.
"Aren't you afraid that the food is poisonous?"
