Chapter 7: Meeting the Dead

readx;

Xu Yang heard a familiar voice behind him, and heard the other party call out his name in the sect, and the name "Xu Yuyang" was after he came to Xiangcheng, only the guard at the gate of the East City and Sun Jiang knew about it, and the rest of the people only knew that they were a Taoist priest, and they didn't know what they were called at all. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoAs for that degree, naturally in that Sun Jiangzong's place, it is also the only thing that can prove his identity.

Xu Yang heard a familiar voice coming from behind him, and couldn't help but look back, only to see a man in a cage behind him, with his hands and feet crossed, his hair messy like a chicken coop, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a long and handsome face, a full beard, dressed in gray and white prison clothes, and his hands and feet were tied to iron locks. After taking a closer look, he suddenly woke up and shouted in surprise: "Zhang Yufeng?"

"What's the shouting, let me in!" a jailer saw the two prisoners talking, and impatiently pushed Xu Yang into the cell in front of him.

Xu Yang was pushed towards the cage by the two of them, and immediately fell to the ground, and after seeing the two prison guards lock the cell door, he left with a smile. Xu Yang stood up slowly, and then saw a set of gray prison clothes thrown at the door of the cell, hurriedly wrapped his body, and looked towards the cage opposite, only to see the other party stand up leisurely, come to the railing close to him, and keep looking at himself, and then tilted his head and laughed, sneering: "Damn Xu Yuyang! I really didn't expect that you, a nasty guy, would have today, it's really karma!"

Xu Yang saw the other party laughing at him, and sneered: "Zhang Yufeng, when I was in the sect, I didn't beat you to death, you are lucky." Now you and I are prisoners of the ranks, what are you getting carried away about?"

"After our sect Wuyun Temple was closed by officers and soldiers, it has now existed in name only, and there will be no such sect from now on. We fought and fought among the sects that day, and I admit that I am not your opponent, but are you still my opponent now? We have violated the rules of the sect, and I have been hastily punished; and you, the veins have been shattered, and your martial arts have been wasted, and you are no different from a wasted person, and you dare to grin with me! I am not called 'Zhang Yufeng' now, but 'Zhang Feng'. Who said that I would become a prisoner like you? After I was beaten out of the Five Clouds by the officers and soldiers, I had nowhere to make a living, but I accidentally joined a cult, and then I was accidentally caught by the officers and soldiers, so I ended up as a prisoner like you. I'm not afraid to tell you another secret, and in less than two days, I'll be rescued. Zhang Feng sneered.

Xu Yang saw the other party's arrogant ridicule there, and rushed towards the cage, beating the railing "dong dong", only to understand that the cages where he was imprisoned were all made of fine iron, and shouted sharply: "Zhang Feng, although our sect has perished, you must not forget that all of your skills come from Wuyun Temple. Unexpectedly, you actually joined the cult. By the way, when was our sect closed by officers and soldiers?"

"For the sake of you, it's okay if I don't say something. If it is said to be a cult, it is not a cult, but it is just a group of dirt buns who are against the imperial court. On the same day, after you were abolished by the sect and driven out of the sect, a year later, it was rumored that the barbarian sect colluded with the sect in the Celestial Empire with the intention of rebelling, and then the officers and soldiers closed the Wuyun Temple. By the way, why did you end up in prison? stealing chickens and dogs, abducting women and children?" Zhang Feng sneered as he stroked the iron railing.

Xu Yang heard the other party's ridicule again and again, knowing that not only could he not escape now, but also couldn't beat the other party, he couldn't help but be very frustrated, and if he told the other party what happened to him, the other party would definitely laugh until he had a big tooth, so it was better not to say it. Xu Yang saw that the other party pricked up his ears on the other side and listened to his speech, snorted coldly, turned around and walked towards the back. I saw grass all over the floor, and the room was full of filthy and unpleasant smells, as if I was in a dirty toilet. Xu Yang looked at the world he had landed in now, and he regretted it, so he chose a slightly cleaner place and sat down cross-legged.

Zhang Feng saw that the other party was wandering around the room looking for something, and then sat in the corner again, closed his eyes and ignored himself, and said: "Xu Yufeng, although we don't talk speculatively in the sect, and we all start fighting, but now that we are all in prison, you can relieve my boredom with me! I have been imprisoned here for two months, and I can only look at the old thing next door to you all day long, and he will not talk to me. Can you tell me about what happened to you after you left the sect?"

Xu Yang heard the other party say that there was a person next door, and immediately looked left and right, only to see a white-haired old man with arms and legs tied with iron chains, hands locked in splints, and pipa bones locked to the wall in a cell on the left. I saw that his hair was as fluffy as a chicken nest, scattered on his cheeks, and he couldn't see his true face clearly, but he just sat there motionless, like an old monk who had settled down. Looking at the other cages, they were empty, and there were only himself, Zhang Feng and the old man nearby. Xu Yang said to Zhang Feng: "I am still an ordinary person now, and I am no longer called 'Xu Yuyang'." After I was abolished by the head of the sect, I could only become a fortune teller, wandering around, telling fortunes and eliminating disasters for others. By the way, what's the name of the cult you're joining?"

Zhang Feng heard that the other party was finally willing to talk to him, sat on the ground, and said: "You have been away from the sect for a year, and you have been wandering all over the world, I guess you have also heard of an organization of the 'Holy Lotus Sect'! Although I am not your opponent in the sect, I don't have as many tricks as you, and there are not many people who follow me, but I am a well-known figure in this organization! I have more than 200 people under my command, you didn't expect it!"

When Xu Yang was about to speak to the other party, he obviously felt that when Zhang Feng said the word "Holy Lotus Sect", the old man next to him moved, and then entered a state of immobility, as if he was an illusion just now. Just when Xu Yang was about to speak, he suddenly heard a burst of footsteps in the distance, and when he looked, he saw a jailer gradually walking in front of him, holding a plate in his hand, and was coming towards him.

The cell, which was originally very noisy, was silent because of the appearance of this jailer, and they locked their eyes on the jailer's tracks one by one, until they all set their eyes on Xu Yang. Xu Yang saw the jailer walk to the door of his cell, then put the plate in his hand on the ground, sighed, and turned around and left. On the other hand, the rest of the people all looked towards their side, and some just looked at the food on their plates, quickly sighed, and then withdrew their gaze, and then began to make a noise. Xu Yang looked at the plate on the ground, and saw that there was a roast chicken, a plate of beef, and a wine jug on the plate, and at this time, his stomach also followed the cry of "gurgling".

Zhang Feng thought that he had just eaten, why did he come to deliver food again, and when he saw that the door of Xu Yang's cage was full of delicacies, he was shocked. Xu Yang saw the food in front of him, and said secretly: "I knew that the treatment in the dungeon was so good, I should have found a way to get in early, I really regret it!"

Just as Xu Yang was about to reach out and grab the roast chicken, a loud shout came from the opposite side. Xu Yang looked at Zhang Feng on the opposite side in puzzlement, thinking that the other party also wanted to eat, and asked: "Don't you want to eat it too?" I can tell you: This is for me, there is no share of you at all, you can honestly be greedy there!" After speaking, he grabbed the roast chicken with one hand and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Wait! It's a guillotine meal. Zhang Feng shouted eagerly.

When Xu Yang was about to open his mouth to nibble on the roast chicken, he heard the other party say that it was a "severed head meal", and he was at a loss and asked puzzledly: "What is a broken head meal?"

"Although we are not speculative in our sects, and we have our own prejudices, how dare I hide anything when I see that you are about to die in front of me. To tell you the truth: this 'severed head meal' is the last meal before the prisoner is going to die, and then he will go to the execution ground. After Zhang Feng finished speaking, he reluctantly glanced at the delicacies in front of him and swallowed his saliva fiercely.

After hearing the other party's explanation, Xu Yang hurriedly put the roast chicken in his hand on the plate, and muttered: "I haven't been tried by the prefect yet, why are you going to send me to death!" Looking at the delicacies in front of him, he was frustrated and hungry, and when he saw Zhang Feng's eyes staring at the food without blinking, his saliva was about to flow out, and he thought: " I was framed and imprisoned by Sun General for bewitching the people of the world and spreading the fallacies of the cult; while Zhang Feng was a cult that was upright, and he had been imprisoned in the prison for two months, and he had never died. With that, he stood up and slammed the bars that trapped him, but to no avail, and looked around in the cage for a place to slip away.

"Don't smash the iron railings there, it's useless. It's not like you don't know what my methods are. I have no choice but to take this iron railing, how can you smash the iron railing? If I could have escaped, I would have escaped a long time ago, how could I wait here to die?" Zhang Feng looked at the food in front of him, and at the same time watched Xu Yang wander around in the cage like a headless fly, and guessed what the other party was going to do.

Xu Yang saw that the cage in which he was imprisoned was solid, and he really became a bird in a birdcage, and let others slaughter him, he couldn't help but sit on the ground with his buttocks, and he regretted that when he ran away, why didn't he stick a few more Runyun talismans on his legs, so that he would not fall into the cage.

Zhang Feng saw Xu Yang sitting there with his head pulled together, and he could guess that if he was to change himself, he would definitely go crazy like the other party. Zhang Feng saw that the other party was not moving, his face was full of frustration, and he sneered: "Although I fought with you in the sect, but because of this, you were abolished from practicing the Tao for many years, and you were driven out of the sect, and you lived in all directions, relying on fortune telling. If you die, and if I succeed in escaping from this cage, I will burn paper money for you every year today, and you must not become a ghost to come to me!"

Xu Yang saw the other party's gloating appearance, and he was angry, and shouted sharply: "If you let me out, see that I don't kill you, a foul-mouthed guy." I'm surprised, when we were fighting in the sect, why was I the only one who was abolished and kicked out of the sect, but you are safe and sound, can you bribe the head of the sect?"

"What are you doing with that old immortal? If you want to say that bribery is not considered bribery, I just grabbed a small trick from the other party, and the other party did not dare to kick me out of the sect, the purpose was to prevent me from going out and talking nonsense. Do you want to know what I have done to get the boss?" Zhang Feng said.

When Xu Yang heard the other party call the head of the house "old immortal", and was about to scold the other party's rebels, he thought that he was still in danger, and what qualifications did he have to say others, so he asked, "What kind of handle?"

"Are you going to curse me for being a 'rebel' or something like that? I'll tell you the truth: Since our Wuyunguan was exterminated by officers and soldiers, in order to avoid a resurgence in the imperial court, the head of the court and those old guys were killed one by one by a figure in the imperial court with all the means to heaven. That's why I dare to say that these old immortals, who let them always look at me unpleasantly when they were in the sect, and excluded and suppressed me everywhere. For the sake of your death, it doesn't hurt for me to give it to you, so that you don't have to be a fool. A few years ago, when I was going down the mountain to practice, I rescued a woman from a gang of robbers, who told me that she was the wife of the master. At first, I just took it as a joke and didn't take it to heart, but after the other party explained the various characteristics and temperament of the head of the house, I suddenly realized. I don't know what happened, but the boss also learned that I rescued the woman, and threatened me that if I dared to talk nonsense, my life would be worse than death, so I have concealed it until now. You, on the other hand, are the second person to know the secret. No, and the old guy next to you knows. Now in the world, only the three of us know about it. And the life and death of the two of you are unknown, and I can escape. Zhang Feng said.

Xu Yang thought that the head of the sect actually had this little secret, which was really hidden deep enough, but who doesn't have seven emotions and six desires? Who doesn't have a little secret or something like that? Xu Yang thought that although the head of the sect is usually harsh and strict with himself, he also has compassion for himself, and he is not thin on himself, and he also takes a very fancy to himself. If you hadn't fought with each other over a trivial matter, you wouldn't have ended up wandering. Thinking of the door rules: if there is a fight, the meridians of the whole body will be shattered, and the eternal life and eternity will not want to practice martial arts again, and he has only been broken a number of meridians, although he cannot restore the majestic posture of the year, but this is already the extrajudicial grace of the master.

"Xu Yang, are you still nostalgic for the master's kindness to you? Do you want to know who the murderer who killed the head and the elders is?" Zhang Feng asked.
