Chapter 342: Qiankun Diagram
"Uh......"
Intermittent moans came from his mouth, his whole mind seemed to be filled with paste, his thoughts were confused, and his eyelids were as heavy as if they had been filled with lead water, and it was difficult to open them.
I don't know how long it took for Ling Xiao to slowly open his eyes with that uncomfortable feeling, but the spirit in his eyes was sluggish, and he was obviously still delirious.
But Ling Xiao quickly refreshed, because the dirty and smelly water splashed on his body, and the water contained a chill, which woke Ling Xiao up in an instant.
"It's ...... Where is this?"
Looking at the strange torture instruments around, there were faint blood stains on them, only his left side was around, there was a small window, and his hands were firmly locked on the wooden frame by iron chains, Ling Xiao was horrified, and quickly blurted out a question.
In front of Ling Xiao, a stout man with the appearance of a jailer was holding a wooden bucket in his hand at this time, and there was still some water in it that had not yet been completely spilled, Ling Xiao knew that he was afraid that he had fallen for the ploy of the Tiandu City Lord.
When the jailer heard Ling Xiao's question, he didn't say much, but just snorted coldly, and didn't know what he was muttering, so he walked out with the wooden barrel.
"That day, the city lord really had bad intentions!"
Everything before was recalled by Ling Xiao in an instant, and the Qiankun Diagram didn't know what it had done, it was so weird that he had also been tricked, thinking of this, Ling Xiao just hated it.
Immediately, Ling Xiao smiled bitterly: "I don't know what bad luck I had, if I go on like this, I don't know when I will be able to collect all those treasures." β
First in Xiayue City, he was fooled by the Xiayue City Lord to take the Linglong Water Heart, and then he worked hard to get the Qiankun Compass, and now it is the same in Tiandu City.
"It's just that I don't know what the city lord of the capital is on this day?"
Ling Xiao was puzzled, not knowing why the Tiandu City Lord did this, but Ling Xiao quickly noticed that something was wrong, and Ling Xiao looked at his hand.
Really!
Ling Xiao's Qiankun Ring has been taken!
"Is it for the Qiankun Compass?" Ling Xiao's heart sank, but then he thought that the opening of the Qiankun Compass needed secret words to crack it. "If it's really for the Qiankun Compass, then he will definitely come to ask the secret words, and then we'll know if it's against this. β
The light in Ling Xiao's eyes flashed, and the reason why he thought of the Qiankun compass was because Ling Xiao's body was the only way to attract others.
If you want to talk about the thunder gun, it is also an extremely precious divine weapon, and the kung fu secretaries that Ling Xiao cultivates are also, after Ling Xiao came to Qiankun Prefecture at that time, in order not to make people worry about it, it is extremely rarely used, and no one knows about it at all.
On this day, the city lord of the capital and Ling Xiao had never met, and I thought it was for the Qiankun compass that Ling Xiao got from the city lord of Xia Yue!
"It's really hateful!" Thinking of that Qiankun diagram, Ling Xiao secretly cursed, he really couldn't imagine that the methods of the city lord of the capital were so strange that he couldn't guard against it.
However, Ling Xiao quickly quieted down, quietly calculating the way to escape.
Looking at the place where his hand was locked, he saw that the chain on it was glowing with cold light, and there was a faint chill coming out of it, Ling Xiao knew that this was probably made of some special materials.
"Let's try to see if we can break free, and then make a plan. β
Ling Xiao looked at the window on the left while thinking, only to see the red glow in the sky, thinking that the sun had sunset.
Immediately, Ling Xiao wanted to use the True Yuan to condense in his arm and use it to break free from the chains, but soon found that his dantian was empty!
"What's going on?"
Ling Xiao's face was incredulous, after all, the dantian is the foundation of the martial arts, if it is damaged, it is equivalent to cutting off the road to the martial arts, and the empty dantian is frightened Ling Xiao.
Sensing that his martial arts cultivation was still there, and he could still look inside, Ling Xiao was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly went to the dantian to investigate, wanting to see what was going on.
After a while, Ling Xiao opened his eyes, his eyes full of puzzlement, and muttered to himself, "How could this be, why did Zhenyuan disappear out of thin air?"
It turned out that Ling Xiao's dantian was not damaged, but the true yuan inside had disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
"It's rare to be tricked again?" Thinking of the bright light hidden in the Qiankun diagram before, he fainted himself in an instant, and knew that he must have been passive with some hands and feet. "Let's see if we can recover. β
The true yuan was cultivated, and Ling Xiao's martial arts cultivation did not fall, so he thought about running the exercises to see if he could restore the true yuan.
However, Ling Xiao once again discovered that something was wrong.
Because when running the exercises, the meridians can't gather qi to run at all, condensing the true yuan, as if they are blocked by a stone, so that Ling Xiao is not uncomfortable.
"What's going on?"
Under investigation, Ling Xiao unexpectedly found that his eight veins of the Qi Meridian were tightly locked, no matter what method Ling Xiao used, he just couldn't open it, and Ling Xiao wanted to restore the true element, the meridians were blocked, and he couldn't do it at all.
"Damn!"
Ling Xiao roared angrily, full of unwillingness, and he also knew that his meridians were afraid that they were blocked by some secret method, and it was difficult to open.
At this time, two jailers walked in, seemed to hear Ling Xiao's voice, looked at it with a strange expression, and one of them still scolded and said: "What is the ghost called, wait a minute, grandpa, I want you to look good!"
The other also echoed: "It's just that no one can hear it in this dungeon, so it's better to save some effort!"
Ling Xiao's ears directly caught the word "dungeon", and he finally knew where he was, presumably the prison under the City Lord's Mansion.
"The meridians are locked, and the true yuan is dispersed again, although I can reunite the true yuan, but it's too slow!"
Ling Xiao secretly thought, no longer paying attention to the two jailers, and then, he experimented with the Immortal Emperor Body, but what made Ling Xiao unbelievable was that the Immortal Emperor Body was completely unable to exert its strength, and for a while, he was at a loss, not knowing what to do.
At this moment, there was a flash of inspiration in his mind! Ling Xiao suddenly thought of something.
"Qingyuan Technique! Isn't Qingyuan Technique able to dredge the meridians?"
In an instant, Ling Xiao was full of ecstasy, but he didn't dare to show it, suppressing his emotions, Ling Xiao began to look at the next step.
"Since there is Qingyuan Technique, it is a matter of time before the strength recovers, and now I have to act at the opportunity, find a way to delay the time, and wait until my strength recovers, and then escape!"
A somewhat rough plan took shape in Ling Xiao's heart, but Ling Xiao had no choice but to sigh secretly and want to start casting the Qingyuan Technique.
However, Ling Xiao was soon interrupted, because outside the dungeon, the sound of footsteps came faintly, and soon, a person came in, and Ling Xiao easily recognized it, this was the steward of the City Lord's Mansion, and he was the one under his command at the previous banquet.
I saw that he was wearing a green coat, his eyes were shining, and he kept staring at Ling Xiao, as soon as he came in, the two jailers hurriedly saluted, but he was unheard of, and walked towards Ling Xiao.
The housekeeper was expressionless, and it was estimated that he had seen many such things.
Walking in front of Ling Xiao, the housekeeper stopped, stared at Ling Xiao with his eyes, and said expressionlessly: "The city lord wants me to tell you, if you hand over the secret words to crack the compass of Qiankun, I can let you go." β
Of course, Ling Xiao didn't believe his nonsense, just looked at him, the corners of his mouth cracked, and he pulled out an ugly smile, and then said in a cold voice: I advise you to kill me quickly, as for the secret words of the Qiankun compass?"
"Hughβthink!"
The steward of the City Lord's Mansion was not angry because of this, but said lightly, "I can give you time to think about it." Immediately, he gestured his right hand towards the two jailers.
The two jailers were obviously two veterans, and when they saw the butler beckoning, they instantly understood what he meant, one holding a whip soaked in oil, and walked over, one in front of Ling Xiao and one behind Ling Xiao.
"Give me a beating, don't keep your hand, I'll come back later. The butler looked at them and said.
Then he said to Ling Xiao: "You think about it, don't make the city lord angry!"
After saying that, he walked directly to the outside of the dungeon.
"Sure enough, they came for the Qiankun compass, but I don't know, what is the use of this Qiankun compass for them?"
Ling Xiao thought to himself, but was soon interrupted by the sharp pain coming from his body, and the two jailers, after the housekeeper left, directly whipped down.
The whip was already soaked in oil, and it suddenly hit the body, which was extremely painful, like cutting meat, and these two jailers were clearly experienced "old men", and the places where they hit would bring severe pain, but they would not hurt Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao was reborn for three hundred years, and he didn't suffer any hardships? He just endured it secretly, and he didn't even let out a shout.
As if provoked by Ling Xiao, the hands of the two jailers became heavier and heavier, but Ling Xiao didn't feel it at all, but with the help of this blow, he secretly cultivated the Qingyuan technique, wanting to dredge the meridians.
"It really worked!"
Investigating into the eight veins of his own Qi Sutra, Ren Vein had a slight looseness, and he was immediately pleasantly surprised, and he worked harder to start the Qingyuan Technique.
......
A day later, the meridians in Ling Xiao's body, the Ren veins had been completely dredged, and a little true yuan had gathered in his body, and the speed of recovery was fast.
During this period, the housekeeper came several times, but Ling Xiao was silent every time, and he didn't hear the housekeeper's words, and he was tortured all the time.
"As long as I am given a little more time, I will be able to recover the true element in my body, and then I will be able to regain my strength, just endure it!"
Ling Xiao felt that the true element in his body was slowly recovering, although the recovery speed was very slow because of the lack of evil in the dredged meridians, but with these true elements, he could make the Qingyuan technique run stronger!
At this moment, the sound of footsteps came again, Ling Xiao thought it was a housekeeper, came to interrogate himself again, and he didn't bother to look at it, still keeping his head down.
"It seems that you are not going to say it?" A deep and deep voice came, Ling Xiao suddenly looked up, and saw that the city lord of the capital was indeed standing in front of him.
Ling Xiao looked at him coldly, the True Yuan in his body hibernated, and stopped the operation of the Qingyuan Technique, for fear that he would be discovered and cut off his own back road.
The Tiandu City Lord looked at Ling Xiao staring at him, his eyes were cold, he smiled faintly, and said: "If you don't say it, then wait, wait, tomorrow I will completely cultivate the soul dementoring technique, and I will use it on you, and then any secrets will be displayed in front of my eyes, and you will also become my puppet." β
"Hahaha!" After laughing a few times, the Tiandu City Lord turned around and left directly, leaving Ling Xiao with a pale face.
Photo ...... Soul Magic!"
With the words repeated in his mouth, Ling Xiao's heart seemed to be set off in a turbulent wave.
He also knows this dementoring technique, and is very familiar with this vicious technique, but he has never seen it, and those who have been hit by the soul dementoring technique will completely become the puppet of the caster, and the caster's orders will be supreme, and his own sanity will be annihilated, and few people can escape.
Ling Xiao looked out of the small window in a daze, only to see a bright moon hanging high, but a corner was faintly missing, presumably it was almost fifteen o'clock, the day of the full moon.
Looking at the bright moon, Ling Xiao seemed to suddenly remember something, his eyes flashed, and he sank into his body again, secretly cultivating the Qingyuan Technique.
