Chapter 208: In Prison

Seeing these many unkind eyes looking at him, Pu Tiange didn't speak, he knew that most of the matter had been revealed when he saw the little boy being twisted over, so I'm afraid it's useless to say anything more now. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info It seems that this matter is very serious, and I don't know what punishment will be received, anyway, it must not be ordinary.

Seeing that Pu Tiange did not speak by default, the patriarch couldn't help but be furious, not as amiable as he was just now, only to see his chest rise and fall, pointing at Putian Ge with his hand, and trembling all over.

"You.................. You blasphemy of the will of the saints!" the patriarch squeezed this sentence out of his teeth, and was so angry that he burst into smoke, and then shouted at the big men: "Lock this man up for me!"

Immediately afterwards, two people walked out of the big men, came to Pu Tiange's side, twisted his arms left and right, and then escorted Pu Tiange away.

At this time, one of the big men glanced at the little boy, and then asked the patriarch, "Patriarch, what should we do with this child............?"

"Alas.................." At this moment, the patriarch was a little helpless, and for a while he seemed to be dozens of years old: "Lock up this child too, whether he is willing or not, but the will of the saint cannot be violated, otherwise there will be a great disaster." ”

"If something like this happens, we sinners will probably be guilty of another degree. The patriarch said again, muttering to himself.

In this way, the little boy was also escorted away by two big men.

Soon, Putiange and the little boy were taken into a very remote cabin, which was very dark, and even during the day, only a few rays of light could penetrate through the only small wooden window, and the wooden window was not only narrow, but also had a wooden railing on it to prevent the prisoners from escaping.

The floor was floored, and in the innermost part of the hut, in the left corner was a straw mat woven with hay, and a thin dark gray quilt, dirty and dirty.

The whole wooden house was not very large, and Putiange and the little boy were sitting on the straw mat, and the latter seemed to be very depressed, sobbing quietly, and wiping tears from time to time.

"How did you get caught? I didn't let you hide behind that peach blossom tree?" Pu Tiange tried to keep his tone as calm as possible so as not to irritate the little boy.

"I............ I was spotted by a few children who had run out into the field to play, so ............" The little boy wiped away another handful of tears, and finally stopped sobbing, and his voice whimpered.

Pu Tiange understood, he didn't expect it to be so dramatic, it seems that people are really not as good as heaven, and some things may have accidents even if they are carefully planned.

"What do you think the adults will do with me?" the little boy asked, turning to Putiange, his voice trembling.

"What do you think?" asked Pu Tiange rhetorically, he had been calm until now.

"I don't know. The little boy pursed his lips and shook his head: "Anyway, as long as you go against the will of the saint, I am afraid that it will not end well, and you will be punished by the saint." ”

Through the words of the little boy, Pu Tiange was able to deduce that someone should have violated the rules set by the saint before, but what the specific punishment was, the little boy probably didn't know very well, after all, he was only five or six years old, even if he knew something about it, but it would not be too deep.

"Don't be afraid, now you can only find a way to save yourself. Pu Tiange patted the little boy on the shoulder and tried to comfort him: "Don't worry, with this kind of place, I'm afraid I won't be able to trap me." ”

"Really?" Hearing this, the little boy's eyes couldn't help but widen, and when he saw Pu Tiange nodding in affirmation, he lowered his head with a gloomy expression: "But......... Don't you blame me when I told them about you taking me away, and you were caught doing so?"

"Where the words. Pu Tiange laughed, very relaxed: "If I hadn't forcibly taken you away, how could you have been implicated? ”

In fact, although Pu Tiange said so, if it wasn't for Putian Ge who swept the little boy off that holy mountain, I'm afraid the little boy would have died on that holy mountain a long time ago. And judging from the strange state of the little boy when he was on the holy mountain, there must be another mystery in this, and it shouldn't be a good thing anyway.

The little boy couldn't help but glance at Pu Tiange gratefully, his big eyes were very bright.

"What's your name?" Suddenly, Pu Tiange asked.

"My name is Bai Xun. The boy said, and then asked, "What about you?"

"Putian Song. ”

For the next period of time, Pu Tiange and the little boy named Bai Xun temporarily lived in this wooden house, and the two chatted often, and soon Pu Tiange learned something about this place from Bai Xun's mouth.

For example, the people who live here are sin-bearing people who have been born with original sin, and the saints they believe in can guide them and help them to get rid of their sins and have a new life.

Of course, the so-called method of the saints to get rid of sins and obtain new life is to open the holy mountain every 100 years, and then select a group of residents to enter the holy mountain, and whoever can reach the top of the mountain alive can go to the Western Heavenly Elysium, which is called the Pure Land, where there is no sin, and only the purest people are qualified to live there.

In Pu Tiange's opinion, the so-called saint should have opened up the spatial barrier between here and the holy mountain, so that ordinary people can enter the holy mountain, and they can have this kind of means, which shows that the strength of the saint is definitely not low, because ordinary cultivators can't do this.

And according to Bai Xun, the saint statue here has existed since ancient times, and it is not man-made, but naturally formed, so presumably this statue should also have some connection with the saint, maybe it was cast by the saint.

After all, there are basically ordinary people here, and I'm afraid they don't have the ability to build that kind of statue full of charm.

The day before Putiange and Bai Xun were imprisoned, it was once in a hundred years, the day when a group of selected residents entered the Holy Mountain, and Bai Xun happened to be one of them.

There are not only ordinary residents here, but also some ascetic Zen monks, that is, the monks that Putiange once saw on the mountain. They are basically fanatical followers of saints, and they live with pure hearts and few desires, and they are much more loyal to the faith of saints than ordinary residents.

And these Zen monks have a very high status here, and they rarely show up in ordinary times, living in seclusion in the forest and practicing penance, but once they appear, even the patriarch has to respect them for three points.

Not counting these Zen monks, there are at least tens of thousands of residents living here.

There is only so much that Pu Tiange can understand from Bai Xun's mouth, and if he wants to understand it in detail, Bai Xun is not clear, so Pu Tiange can only give up, but even if he only knows this, he can deduce some useful things.

Since Pu Tiange and Bai Xun lived in the wooden house, because the straw mat was not big enough and the night was relatively cold, the two could only squeeze together when they sleek, covering a thin quilt together, which was very awkward.

And every morning and evening, there will be a big man to deliver food, these two people come every day, no matter morning or evening, the food and drink sent are basically a large plate of bread, and a small bowl of gruel.

In general, the food is very poor, and after each delivery, every hour or so, the big man who delivers the food will take away the leftover plates and bowls.

The two big men in charge of delivering the food were very wary of Pu Tiange and Bai Xun, and after opening the wooden door when delivering the food, they put the food on the floor inside the wooden door, and did not forget to glance at the dark corners on both sides before leaving, whether they came to deliver food or to clean up the dishes, they were so cautious.

It can be seen that although the folk customs here are very simple, they have violated the beliefs of the residents after all, so in this case, how can they not take more precautions against them?

Although the food delivered every time is very monotonous, Pu Tiange always asks Bai Xun to drink the porridge first, if Bai Xun fails to drink all the porridge, Pu Tiange will drink the rest of the porridge and leave nothing behind. Although the porridge is relatively small, there are a lot of cakes, there are several sheets, and when Bai Xun finishes eating and Pu Tiange eats some casually, he will hide the remaining cakes in the corner on the other side.

Bai Xun was very curious about Pu Tiange's actions, but when he asked Pu Tiange why he did this, Pu Tiange just smiled mysteriously and told him that he would know in the future.

In this way, Pu Tiange and Bai Xun lived here for about ten days, and during this time, no one came to torture them, or to punish them, so the two of them didn't know what the patriarch planned to do with them now.

However, as the days passed, the two became more and more in crisis.

According to Bai Xun, this is not the patriarch alone, some respected old men and Zen monks have a lot of right to speak, maybe they are discussing the affairs of the two.

Once you have a conclusion, I'm afraid it's not as simple as being locked up in this wooden house.

On the evening of the tenth day, the big man came to deliver the meal as usual, and there was nothing strange at first, but after an hour, he came to the hut, opened the wooden gate on the door, and pushed the door in, trying to clean up the plates and bowls that were left after the two had eaten.

Suddenly, he found that the tableware that the two of them would put a few steps away from the door every time after eating was the same as when he came to deliver the food, and the food in it had not changed at all, and he had not eaten at all.

This made the big man a little stunned, very strange, he remembered that every time he came to clean up the tableware before, the food in the tableware was eaten all the way, and there was nothing left, but what happened this time?

For a moment, the big man forgot to look into the corners on both sides, but driven by curiosity, he took a few steps forward and picked up the plates and bowls on the floor, and then looked into the wooden house.

Because it was night, there was only a few faint moonlight in the wooden window on the side, and the wooden house was very dim, so the big man didn't see the things inside clearly when he was at the door just now, but when he walked a few steps inside to get the dishes, he finally saw some vague scenes.

In the innermost part of the hut, in the left corner, the thin quilt on the straw mat is raised, and there seems to be a person inside, but due to the light, only a rough outline can be seen.

At this moment, Dahan suddenly smelled a faint smell of blood in the air, which made him feel excited, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly rushed towards the direction of the straw mat.

Just when Dahan thought that the source of the smell of blood was in the bulging thin quilt, so he lifted the thin quilt, only to hear a few soft sounds, it turned out that the thin quilt was filled with dough, some were air-dried, and some were relatively fresh, and it seemed that the storage time was a little different.

The sound was the sound of dough falling to the floor.

Seeing this scene, the big man secretly said that something was wrong, he seemed to realize something, his expression changed greatly, and he hurriedly wanted to turn around and run in the direction of the door, but before he could do so, he heard the sound of the wooden door behind him slamming shut.

"Bang!"

Immediately afterward, the light inside the wooden house dimmed, leaving only the faint moonlight from the wooden window.

At this moment, only the big man was left in the narrow wooden house........................
