Chapter 11 Pursuit
Shangguan Xiu walked to her side, stood still, and thrust the sword in his hand into the ground, and heard a pounce, more than half of the sword body was not in the soil, and then dug hard, and a large piece of soil was dug out by the sword body.
"I sneaked in just so I could go into the library and read. As he spoke, Shangguan Xiu quickly dug into the dirt on the ground with his sword, and he continued: "I don't want to reveal my identity, I still want to continue reading in the library, so I can't let people know that I saved you here, let alone that I killed someone!"
"You...... You're a good person!" Gu Qingling said.
Shangguan Xiu shook his head and smiled, muttering, "Good people and bad people, how can they be so easy to distinguish." ”
Gu Qingling looked at Shangguan Xiu, although he looked like he was okay now, his face was still pale. She asked worriedly, "...... your injuries?"
"It's fine, it's just an old illness. Shangguan Xiu said lightly.
"I'll help you!" Gu Qingling pulled out his sword from the other corpse and helped Shangguan Xiu dig a pit in the ground together. The latter glanced at her, the corners of his mouth raised, revealing a hint of a smile.
"Aren't you afraid that I will reveal your identity?"
"I can't care so much. ”
"Huh?"
"You helped me, I can't die without help!" Shangguan Xiu has the characteristics of a Zhenjun person, rough and heroic, and has clear grievances.
"What if, I didn't help you?" Gu Qingling looked at him with blank eyes.
Shangguan Xiu smiled and did not answer her question.
He dug the pit very quickly, and with each sword stab, he could dig a large pit with a deep pit of more than a meter, and then threw two corpses into it together. Finally, he looked at the saber in his hand, hesitated, and threw it into the pit.
The sword used by the opponent is a spirit weapon. The so-called spirit weapon is a weapon infused with tungsten metal, which is the metal with the highest degree of compatibility and fusion with the aura, and only the weapon fused with tungsten metal can be used by the spirit cultivator to complete the spirit of the soldier.
Tungsten gold is scarce, and the demand for spirit weapons is huge, resulting in the price of tungsten gold is extremely expensive, and the cost of a spirit weapon often exceeds a hundred taels of silver, which is not something that ordinary people can afford.
As a spiritual cultivator, especially a spiritual cultivator who has reached the spiritual realm, Shangguan Xiu certainly likes these two swords as well, but leaving these two swords on himself is the bane, and trouble may come to the door at any time.
Even if you like it in your heart, you still can't keep it.
Eventually, he threw both swords into the pit, pushing the surrounding dirt in. Filling in the pit, Shangguan Xiu uprooted the surrounding grass and planted it on top of the pit soil, and when he was finished, he was tired and sweaty, leaned on an old tree, and sat down slowly.
As soon as he sat on the ground, he felt his stomach churn, and a mouthful of old blood poured from his abdomen to his throat, and he gritted his teeth and swallowed the blood back, but there was still blood flowing from the corners of his mouth.
Gu Qingling saw it clearly, walked up to him quickly, and said urgently, "I'll take you to the doctor!"
Shangguan Xiu shook his head slightly, and after a while, he said, "No, I'm fine." As he spoke, he stood up and asked with a pretended ease, "Where do you live?" and I'll send you back!"
"But you ......"
"I'm really fine. Shangguan Xiule said happily.
Gu Qingling looked at him worriedly and asked in a low voice, "Are you suffering internal injuries?"
From the appearance alone, he has no external injuries on his body.
He shrugged his shoulders and raised his head and said, "Let's go, I'll send you back!" He took a deep breath and walked out of the woods, picking up his bag and carrying it on his shoulder as he passed by the bag he had thrown down.
Gu Qingling lived in the girls' courtyard of the academy, and Shangguan Xiu sent her to the door of the academy and said to her: "Okay, I'll send you here, go back quickly!"
"You...... Where do you live?"
"Outside, of course. Shangguan Xiu waved at her and turned to leave.
Gu Qingling asked, "Tomorrow, will you still go to the library to read?"
Shangguan Xiu smiled: "If nothing else." After saying that, he did not stop and walked away.
Looking at his back as he gradually disappeared into the night, Gu Qingling stood at the door of the courtyard and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Shangguan Xiu returned home and meditated cross-legged on the bed.
Now his cultivation is to break through to the spiritual realm, but correspondingly, his own meridians and internal organs are damaged, and now he also realizes that the spiritual devouring heart method is not a perfect mental method, it has a fatal drawback, that is, the spiritual energy backlash.
The aura absorbed by devouring the spirit is not under your control, and you have to complete the link of returning the spirit to the source before you can use it for your own use, but in the life-and-death battle between the spirit cultivators, how can the opponent give you the opportunity to meditate cross-legged?
If you keep using the spiritual spirit devouring to increase your cultivation in the future, I am afraid that the cultivation realm will not improve much, but you will be killed by the spiritual energy first.
How can we perfect the Spiritual Devouring Mind Method so as not to be damaged by external spiritual energy? Shangguan Xiu was also meditating while meditating.
Just then, he suddenly heard the sound of breaking wind outside.
Someone is coming! That voice was very low, if it was before, he would not have been able to hear it, but now with the breakthrough of the cultivation realm, his six senses are also much stronger than before.
I don't know who the person from the outside is, Shangguan Xiu's reaction is also fast, and he immediately put away the aura running in his body, and his meditating body fell to the side, turning into lying on the bed.
He had just laid down when he heard a crunch of the door and he was kicked open from the outside.
Immediately afterward, three people broke in from the outside.
Shangguan Xiu looked blankly at the three people who came in from the outside as if he had just been awakened from his sleep.
The three are two men and one woman, all in their twenties, the male is tall and short, strong and thin, and the female is slender and beautiful.
"You...... Who are you, what are you doing in your break-ins into my house?" Shangguan Xiu asked, pretending to be shocked.
The tall and strong man glanced at Shangguan Xiu, took out a portrait from his arms, unfolded it, compared it with Shangguan Xiu, nodded, and said, "It's you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the thin man strode to the bed, stretched out his hand and grabbed Shangguan Xiu's clothes, don't look at his thin body, but his strength is not small, and he dragged Shangguan Xiu's body off the bed.
Shangguan Xiu instinctively grabbed the thin man's wrist and was devouring it with his spiritual spirit, but suddenly, he saw the waist card hanging on the thin man's waist. It was a black iron plaque with a pattern engraved on it, and two large characters were engraved in the center of the pattern: Duwei!
Shangguan Xiu was secretly frightened, and hurriedly devoured and withdrew the spirit that he had not had time to use, sat on the ground, and exclaimed, "Who are you?"
"Hmph! Duwei Mansion!" the burly man snorted coldly, he flicked his cloak, exposed his waist card, and said coldly: "What's your name?"
"Up...... Shangguan Xiu. I haven't done anything to be a traitor, why do you all want to arrest me?" Shangguan Xiu's face was panicked, but his mind was racing sharply.
It is definitely not an ordinary trivial matter for the Duwei Mansion to find himself, he beat Leng Baiyuan, infiltrated the Imperial Academy, and even killed someone just now, these things are impossible to alarm the Duwei Mansion, then, the only possibility for the Duwei Mansion to find himself now is for the random change of cheats.
Thinking of this, Shangguan Xiu broke out in a cold sweat.
"Why did you arrest you? Don't you understand yourself?" the burly man sneered and shook his head at his two companions. The skinny man and the beautiful woman began to look around the house.
Shangguan Xiu's home can be described as a house with four walls, except for a bed and a table, there is nothing else in the house, not even a wardrobe. The two of them quickly searched the house, and finally, they found a set of clothes from the Imperial Academy, as well as the schoolbag, and a handful of broken silver.
"My lord, I ...... I really don't know what I've done......" Shangguan Xiu's heart quickly weighed what he should do now, resist, or continue to pretend to be stupid.
The burly man walked up to Shangguan Xiu, stretched out his big hand, grabbed the back of his neck, lifted him up like a chicken, stared at him without blinking with his shining eyes, and said: "I have seen a lot of people like you who don't see the coffin and don't shed tears, do you think your bones are hard enough? I want to see if your bones are hard, or the one hundred and eight sets of punishments in the Duwei Mansion!"
While speaking, he grabbed Shangguan Xiu's clothes and walked out.
"My lord, I was wronged, I was wronged......"
Weighing the pros and cons, Shangguan Xiu finally gave up resistance. insisted on pretending to be stupid, and in the end it was not certain whether he was dead or alive, if he resisted, then he would be dead, even if he escaped now, but no matter how far he ran to the ends of the earth, Duwei Mansion could find him out.
The Duwei Mansion, the base camp of the Duwei Camp, the Sky Eye, and the Earth Net, the most mysterious institution in Shangjing, is directly under the leadership of the emperor, and is not controlled by anyone except the Son of Heaven, and is not responsible to anyone. The residence of the Duwei Mansion is located in the south of Shangjing, and most of the functional institutions of the Wind Country and the official residences of the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government are concentrated here, it can be said that the southern city is the aristocratic district of Shangjing, the traffic is busy, and the bustle is not only, only the Duwei Mansion is an exception here, even in the daytime, the surroundings of the Duwei Mansion are lifeless, the wind is gusting, and in the streets and alleys, even a passerby can not be seen, and at night, it is even more eerie and terrifying.
The dungeon of the Duwei Mansion is a place even more terrifying than the Heavenly Dungeon, I don't know how many prisoners have been tortured to death here, and I don't know how many unjust ghosts and ghosts have gathered here.
The dungeon is set underground, day and night, and the inside is always dimly lit, and a torch is planted in the wall at a distance, emitting a faint firelight.
Entering the dungeon, the first feeling is gloomy, piercing cold, and the second is rancid, and the air is filled with a suffocating rancid smell.
Ordinary people came in, they didn't need to be interrogated or tortured, they were directly paralyzed on the ground in fright, Shangguan Xiu was also panicked after being taken into the dungeon, his face was pale and bloodless, but his panic was faked, and his pale face was because of internal injuries.
The two men and a woman escorted him to a torture cell in the dungeon.
This torture chamber is not large, with a cross fixed in the center for tying people, and the walls around it are covered with large and small torture instruments, all kinds of strange and varied, unseen and unheard of.
On the left side of the cross is a large stove with a fire burning in it, and several large and small soldering irons are inserted in the coals.
