Chapter 101, Black Prison

readx;? It was a very narrow rectangular stone room, only six feet wide and seemingly less than nine feet long, which was slightly larger than a double bed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The height of the info stone chamber is about one zhang, and there are two small vents at the top, which are slightly thicker than a human arm. A thick wooden door was embedded in one wall, but it was only five feet high, and adults had to bend down to get in and out of it - there were no handles on the inside of the door, and it was supposed to open only from the outside.

A small groove was carved out of the stone wall next to the wooden door, and an oil lamp was placed in it—unlike the Bodhi lantern, it was a real Chinese oil lamp, and its capacity could last for three to five hours even if it was filled with oil. The lights were dim and they were about to go out......

The unkempt Tang Liyu was curled up on a pile of hay in the corner of the stone room, and a crude bucket was placed not far from her. Tang Liyu's wrists and ankles were fastened with thick iron rings, which were connected to iron cables and nailed to the stone wall.

However, theoretically speaking, such a thick iron chain is enough to firmly lock a big man, but it may not be effective for Miss Tang who has no self......

Zhang Lu stood beside Tang Liyu and couldn't help but scratch his chin suspiciously.

Of course, this is not a real scene, but just an illusion, this illusion originally came from Tang Liyu's deep consciousness, but was broken in out of thin air by an uninvited guest, that is, Zhang Lu. The spell used by Zhang Lu is, of course, the crooked "Lingtai Mirage" that he is used to.

As for how she was kidnapped and why she was imprisoned, Tang Liyu couldn't say why she was confused, which made the three companions feel anxious, but they didn't know what to do. In fact, who kidnapped Miss Tang and what was the purpose of kidnapping her is not a question that must be answered immediately, it can be explored step by step, and analyzed step by step, but we must know where you are being held, otherwise how to rescue you?

It was Feng Heran who thought of a move first: "Zhang Lu, aren't you able to peek into other people's minds, can you try to dig out more clues from Miss Tang's consciousness?"

As soon as Zhang Lu arrived in the world of Zen and goodness, he tried to run the vitality in his body, and played some small tricks that others could not notice, so as to come to an accurate judgment: Oh yes, this world is a world of magic, or at least a world of double cultivation of art and martial arts, and Lao Tzu's spells can basically be used! Since this is the case, it will not be difficult to peek into Tang Liyu's heart - if he returns to the Tianyuan world, even if Tang Liyu is in front of him, even if the other party opens his heart and allows him to explore, it may not be able to succeed.

-- There is an instinctive protection of one's own consciousness, especially the subconscious mind, which is like the knee-jerk reflex, which is basically unavoidable. Moreover, Zhang Lu and Tang Liyu are in a similar realm in the martial arts world, even if they can use some illusions, it is difficult to peek into each other's hearts.

So after getting the consent of Tang Liyu and Li Yanchao, and repeatedly stating that he did not guarantee 100% success, Zhang Lu stretched out his right index finger, a little Tang Liyu's eyebrows, and then a wisp of his consciousness went directly into it.

The reason why it is uncertain that it will succeed is that the illusion caused by the crooked "Lingtai Mirage" comes from the recipient himself, and the caster is just an uninvited guest who rushes in, and no one can guarantee which experience the recipient will bury in his heart and then turn into an illusion to show the caster. An adult's memory is so vast that it is as difficult for a caster to retrieve a fixed part of it as it is to search for a key word from a trillion-of-document - the point is that not only is the document not his own, but even the reader is not his own, and God knows if there is a "search" function, where the keys are placed......

But under normal circumstances, the resulting illusion will be the most profound or confusing memory in the recent period, and Zhang Lu's ability has increased to a great extent with the speed and accuracy of manual retrieval. So when he found himself in a dim, closed stone room, he couldn't help but sigh out, "Found it." ”

As the beloved grandson of Tang Hou, Miss Tang was raised like a treasure and was clothed in fine clothes, except for being kidnapped recently, what chance did she have to appear in such a narrow stone room?

Theoretically, such a stone chamber can't lock Tang Liyu, and those chains can't lock Tang Liyu, but although this confuses Zhang Lu, it is not a problem that he needs to figure out urgently. What he wanted to know most was: Where is this? Who is the person who kidnapped and imprisoned Tang Liyu?

So he walked to the wooden door, and without hesitation he stepped through it.

At the beginning, the crooked "Lingtai Mirage" could only make Zhang Lu's wisp of spirit act like an ordinary person in the illusion created by others, but gradually, he was able to act recklessly to a certain extent. In the Qingxuan World that day, using this trick to explore the source of the demon dragon's anger, and going deep into the earth's leyline illusion, it can be a thousand miles in one step;

What is behind the door? The narrow stone room, the dim light, Tang Liyu hung her head and was imprisoned in it......

Zhang Lu suddenly found that he had returned to the original stone room, as if the wooden door was not a door, but just a mirror, and he entered the world in the mirror...... No, this is not a mirror image, left or left, right or right, it is the same as the previous stone chamber.

After thinking about it for a while, knowing the reason, Zhang Lu couldn't help but sigh a long sigh - it is estimated that Tang Liyu was kidnapped after losing consciousness, and then woke up in the stone room, and has been imprisoned in the stone room since then......

What the hell, how do I determine the exact location?!

I had to try to get in touch with Tang Liyu in the illusion to see if she had passively found any clues in her subconscious?

Zhang Lu was reluctant to come into direct contact with Tang Li's language in the illusion, because it was likely to be rejected and the effect of the spell would disappear - again, people have an instinctive sense of protection for their own subconscious. I think that at the beginning, he once launched a crooked attack on the "Lingtai Mirage" attached to the "Zheng" with the body of a Yan Baihu and the demon dragon that caused a huge earth dragon, and he was not rejected, that is because neither of them has an independent consciousness, or the independent consciousness is very weak. From this, it can be seen that the demon dragon is just a remnant soul, and the "Zhen" is by no means an intelligent creature flying from the sky.

So what about the monk Zhenyuan in the Fawang Temple, and the magic cast on the dragon slaying platform to Sui Feng? The monk Zhen Yuan deeply misses his master Dharma Mirror, and Sui Feng never forgets his deceased sister He Ya, and he only wants to relive the emotions of the past in the illusion, so he will not take the initiative to reject the illusion. But today's Tang Liyu is different, being kidnapped and imprisoned, although it is the most impressive thing for her in the recent period, so that Zhang Lu can be retrieved smoothly, but at the same time, it is also something that she feels deeply frustrated and afraid of, and does not want to face it again, so it is easy to have a rejection mentality, thus ending this unbearable illusion.

But there was no other way, Zhang Lu had no choice but to squat down in front of Tang Liyu and call in a low voice: "Miss Tang, Miss Tang?"

Tang Liyu slowly raised her lowered head.

Zhang Lu thought it was strange. It is believed that the kidnappers must have had some special way to temporarily block Tang Liyu's exercises, making it difficult for her to break free and try to escape—for example, by digging holes, although it is impossible to last too long to close the holes. Zhang Lu found it strange that Miss Tang had been imprisoned for a long time—estimated, more than half a year—and it was inevitable that she would be unkempt, but when she crossed the Xuanqi Realm, although her spirit was a little sluggish, it was not so dirty and ugly.

Heaven or Demon will ingest people into the Mysterious Realm, when they can restore their bodies and even their minds to the original - Zhang Lu can even repair the broken teeth in an instant - but he has never seen even his face cleaned, and even his hair has been combed again. Who washed her face and combed her hair?

Putting the doubts aside for the time being, Zhang Lu said softly: "Don't open your eyes, just feel it with your heart......" Although the body is restrained, as long as you don't open your eyes, the rejection of the outside world may not be too strong-"What is this place? Have you found any special signs?"

The human brain sometimes turns a blind eye to certain details, but these details may still be engraved in the depths of memory, and the crooked "Lingtai Mirage" - in fact, it also includes the normal "Lingtai Mirage" - is a key to unlock deep consciousness and memory, and there is a certain possibility of digging out the secrets that even the self may not be able to notice.

The real Tang Liyu who is still in the Xuanqi realm may not be able to say that she is ugly, but in the illusionary world, it is possible to recall some special discoveries.

It's a pity that Tang Liyu was silent for a long time, but in the end she slowly shook her head. At this moment, even Zhang Lu was quite at a loss......

Theoretically speaking, crossing the Xuanqi Realm is not a soul piercing but a body, but the time of the original world is frozen until the traveler returns - as far as Zhang Lu's guess is concerned, perhaps more accurately, time has not been suspended, but the time of different worlds cannot be connected at all, so the experience of the other world is completed in the gap of this world. Theoretically, Zhang Lu can always send a wisp of divine soul to Tang Liyu, and wait until he returns to the Tianyuan World to find this wisp of divine soul. The problem is that the Tianyuan World has suppressed his use of illusions, and he really can't guarantee whether he will be able to maintain the effect of soul parasitism at that time......

So what should I do? Just put an end to this meaningless spell and return to the world of Zen and goodness? Then I will never be able to save Tang Liyu again!

Just as he was at a loss, all of a sudden, Zhang Lu heard a crisp bell outside the stone room.

It was a bit like the sound of a bicycle bell, but the rhythm was much slower, and when the bell rang, Zhang Lu felt dizzy in his head, and the spell was broken almost instantly. He knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly condensed his soul, and finally stabilized the illusion. Immediately, I saw Tang Liyu's head slowly hanging down again, as if she had fallen into a deep sleep......

Zhang Lu straightened up, turned around, and hid in the shadows in the corner of the stone room. When I looked closely, I saw the wooden door slowly open outward, and then two black shadows stepped into the stone chamber one after the other.

Both men were of medium stature, dressed in black, and wore a black cloak with the hood of the cape pulled down to the eyebrows, making it difficult to see the whole face in the dark. The two came to Tang Liyu's side, squatted down one left and one right, one of them reached out and probed Tang Liyu's neck, nodded, and the other person understood, so he took out a key and opened the iron ring locked on Tang Liyu's wrist and ankle.

Immediately, the two of them set up Tang Liyu on the left and the right, and dragged her out of the stone room - no way, Miss Tang is too tall, it must be difficult for a person to pick up, and I am afraid it will be difficult to move, so I have to drag it hard, and I have to turn sideways to pass through the wooden door. Zhang Lu hurriedly took a few steps and followed closely behind them.

Beyond the wooden door, a long corridor emerges, made of boulders, and torches are inserted at intervals on the stone wall, swaying in light and shadow, full of mystery. Zhang Lu noticed that there was a black figure in the front dressed in the same costume, with his left hand raised, his four fingers together, his index finger extended, and a small silver bell hanging from his fingertips.

The bell did not ring again, but Zhang Lu could still feel the flow of thoughts emanating from the bell like ripples - this was the magic weapon that he suspected of being inherited from ancient times, which could confuse people's minds, so Tang Liyu lost consciousness again.

The bell bearer was in front, the two men in black held Tang Liyu in the middle, and Zhang Lu followed closely behind - he was not worried about being discovered by the people in front, after all, this was just an illusion, and he himself was just a stream of thoughts. All of this in the illusion comes from the memory in the depths of Tang Liyu's consciousness, that is to say, those people in black are actually dominated and manipulated by Tang Liyu, as long as Tang Liyu herself does not make any active reaction, the behavior of the people in black will run automatically according to the memory, and there will be no change in the slightest.

But at this time, Tang Liyu was already asleep, and presumably he would not take the initiative to react.

The group walked a short distance along the stone road, suddenly turned to the left, and entered another stone room. This stone room is more than twice as large as the stone room where Tang Liyu is imprisoned, and it is brightly lit, with a table and two chairs in the middle of the stone room. The two men in black placed Tang Liyu on one of the chairs, while the bell bearer sat down on his knees opposite her.

A low, and obviously unnatural voice suddenly sounded from the side of the stone chamber: "It's too ugly...... Let's get some water to wipe her face and comb her hair. Zhang Lu followed the prestige, and saw that it was a hole in the stone wall more than a foot wide and half a foot high—it could be regarded as a window.

The bell bearer did not look back, but bowed respectfully: "Yes-I don't know what the adults want to ask this time?"

The voice outside the window sounded again: "Zhang Lu - ask her about Zhang Lu......" (to be continued.) )
