Chapter 46: The Trial on Death Row
Kyoto Full Moon Well, death row location.
As the head of Kyoto's death row, Lu Jiang felt that he needed to remind the newcomer, and said: "If you want to become a jailer, you must first cultivate the body of a person or the acquired realm, and then clear the one-on-one trial of death row." ”
"Wait for Lord Prison to come and inspect, if you behave better, even if you fail the trial, Shi Si Prison may be able to keep you safe."
Lu Jiang added a few more words, and then led the three of them to stand in the hall of fine iron casting, waiting for the prison to arrive.
In addition to the jailers and prison heads, there are also direct leaders of the prison guards, and they occasionally come to inspect, which is the biggest official position that the jailers have come into contact with!
Song Ke carefully observed the surroundings and found that even the metal walls were carved with formation patterns, and from time to time the aura fluctuated out, comparable to the ninth layer of qi refining, and the entire death row was made of fine iron mixed with other hard metals, and there were iron doors, iron windows, and iron railings everywhere, and it was tantamount to a daydream to forcibly escape.
Soon Shi Si Prison came to the dungeon, burly, with a scar on his face, he seemed to be a ruthless character, his tone was slightly irritable, and he ordered directly: "Hurry up and start, don't delay me to visit His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
"Yes"
Lu Jiang, the head of the prison with a calm face, nodded, and then began to instruct the other two jailers to open the heavy iron doors of the three corridors, which were the passages of cells B, C, and T.
Lu Jiang said expressionlessly: "This trial is not only to determine whether you are qualified to become a jailer, but also to determine how much you have to do according to your performance. ”
"You only need to choose any channel and kill any of them one-on-one to clear the customs, among which most of the prisoners in the T-shaped cell are on the first and second floors of qi refining, the third or fourth floor of the C-shaped cell is refining qi, and the fifth or sixth floor of the B-shaped cell is refining qi, as for the A-shaped room, it is all prisoners comparable to high-level qi refiners, and it is not open to you for the time being!"
The three of them fell silent when they heard this, and they were carefully weighing the gains and losses, they had already known the rules in death row before, and they only had one chance to clear the customs, and they had three spirit stones for the B-shaped room, two spirit stones for the C-shaped room, and one spirit stone for the T-shaped room.
In fact, it is not a big problem to have a monthly salary, after all, the jailer has other channels to obtain spirit stones, but which channel to choose, then after becoming a jailer, he will be responsible for the prisoners of that channel.
The advantage of the jailer is that he can take oil and water from the prisoners, and the higher the cultivation, the higher the oil and water, so the three of them are a little difficult to choose.
Song Ke's cultivation was at the first level of qi refining, and the water system spiritual sea was temporarily hidden, ready to develop a wave of obscenity, so he was the first to make a choice: "I choose the T-shaped cell." ”
Before the words fell, the eyes of the other two newcomers showed disdain, the prisoners in the T-shaped cell were the most oily, and there were many people and many things, the two looked at each other and said their choices, which were room B and room C.
Then a jailer named Yu Tai led Song Ke into the T-shaped passage, and there were about forty or fifty prisoners inside, all unkempt, ragged, hungry, and in bad spirits.
Each prisoner was wrapped in a soul-devouring iron rope, absorbing the spiritual power in the prisoner's body all the time, and some of them had even regressed in their cultivation, their flesh had run out of oil, and they did not have the appearance of a cultivator.
"Pick me, lad!"
"Please, choose me!"
"Pretty boy, choose me!"
……
Seeing the jailer bring in with the newcomers, the weak prisoners opened their mouths to speak, and they all looked like they were bent on asking for death.
Song Ke passed by a white-haired woman's cell and said, "Just her." ”
Yu Tai followed the procedure, took out the blank jade slip, and asked, "Why did you choose her?" Does it matter? ”
Song Ke shook his head and said with a smile: "Because he calls me a pretty boy." ”
Then the corners of Yu Tai's mouth twitched, his face was expressionless, and he used his spiritual sense to write down to Song Ke in the jade slip, "I like others to flatter, and I am too narcissistic." ”
There was no suspense, Song Ke won, but when he attacked, an ice arrow made of spiritual power deliberately hit the chain of the woman's lower body.
After the chains of her lower body were broken, the woman was relieved and finally died without humiliation, and then took advantage of Song Ke's blocking of the jailer's sight, gave up resistance, and was shocked by Song Ke and died.
Yu Tai, who was watching the battle from the side, wrote down again, "The ice system is a spiritual root, attacking fiercely, specializing in the sensitive parts of the body of the old and weak, women and children, and there is a high probability of being lustful." ”
This is the process that every newcomer will go through during the trial, and Song Ke is no exception, but few people choose the T-shaped cell!
Yu Tai reminded: "You still have one last step to complete, put the corpse of the prisoner into the Wind Blade Array, squeeze the residual spiritual power, and bless the people." ”
"Alas!"
Song Ke sighed in his heart, Nanzhao Xiuzhenxing lacked spiritual power, and the luck of the human race was gradually declining, so the Nanzhao royal family would use all available spiritual energy to maintain the prosperity of Kyoto.
In the deep and dim passage of the cell, Song Ke picked up the woman's body expressionlessly, it was not as heavy as he imagined, the tall body was very light, and the disaster of many years of imprisonment had already made the prisoner stand upright.
At the end of each passage, there is a Wind Blade Formation, in which dozens of Wind Blades fly, which can perfectly shatter the corpse, and then the Soul Snatching Formation that envelops the entire prison will draw every wisp of spiritual energy into the Full Moon Well and use it for the benefit of the people.
Therefore, there is no aura in the death row, which is also the reason why the jailers are not very easy to recruit people, because the death row itself is buried in the bones, the yin and evil qi is heavy, affecting the flesh and blood, even if the body of the acquired realm is slender and stays here for many years, the qi and blood will decay.
Fortunately, the spirit stones of the moon can freely choose their attributes, and most of the jailers choose wood attribute spirit stones to nourish their bodies, and most of the spiritual roots of the jailers are also wood spirit roots.
Now, except for Song Ke who is an ice spirit root, and only Shi Si Hell is a fire spirit root, the rest of them are wood spirit roots.
Half an hour later, two of the three had passed the trial, one had died, and two more jailers had been added to the cell.
To Song Ke's surprise, the person who died chose the C-shaped cell, but only the prisoner was qualified to view the relevant jade slips of the record.
After Shi Wu took the jade slip and looked at it, the corners of his mouth showed a hint of pride, and then laughed: "Welcome Lu Yizhou and Song Ke to join the prison, everyone will take care of the newcomers in the future, and the official will go to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first!" ”
With that, Shi Wu's burly body walked towards the exit, and the fiery spiritual power that was inadvertently exposed was as hot as a fiery snake, leaving shallow burning marks on the metal ground, indicating that he was a high-level Qi refining cultivator.
Prison head Lu Jiang said with a smile: "Shi Si Prison is a cultivator of the ninth layer of qi refining, I am the sixth layer of qi refining, usually call me Lao Lu, this fat man Zhu Yang is the fourth layer of qi refining, and the thin man Yu Tai is also the fourth layer of qi refining, you two newcomers must work hard to cultivate, otherwise you will not be able to survive in this prison." ”
"Thank you for your advice."
Song Ke and Lu Yizhou nodded, and then greeted Zhu Yang and Yu Tai to each other.
Zhu Yang, who is obese, is happy to speak, as for Yu Tai, who previously recorded the information of Song Ke's trial, he just nodded coldly, even the prison boss can't do anything about him, and he has always been difficult to speak.
Lu Jiang pondered: "Since there are enough people now, then the four channels will be delivered separately in the future, Song Ke is in charge of the T-shaped room, Lu Yizhou is in charge of the C-shaped room, Yu Tai is in charge of the B-shaped room, and Zhu Yang is in charge of the A-shaped room!" ”
"No problem"
Zhu Yangle said with a smile, he didn't care that the prisoner in the first room had a background, and he was not afraid of offending people, because he himself had something to do with the descendants of the royal family.
In addition to him, even the prison head Lu Jiang did not dare to enter the A-shaped room casually, for fear of offending the prisoners inside, even if they were sentenced to death, those people's homes would often send elixirs such as elixirs and blood nourishing pills to help the prisoners maintain their cultivation.
Like the most inferior T-shaped cell, the prisoners in it usually run out of oil and dry up in a few years, but there is a prisoner in the A-shaped room who has a relationship with the royal family for 30 years, and he is still alive and well, eating big fish and meat every day, except for no freedom, the rest enjoy it very much.
"Same sin, no fate!"
Song Ke shook his head and walked to a room in the hall, where the jailer lived most of the time, there were pots and pans, as well as some rice noodles and vegetables, as well as chicken, duck and fish meat that were kept fresh with frozen charms, and they were all self-sufficient to eat and drink, and as for the prisoners, of course, they ate the leftover food scraps.
The jailers are free to move around at night, leaving one of the five on duty, but they must return to the prison before dawn, and they are not allowed to be outside during the day.
In the evening, the prison head Lu Jiang thought that there was a newcomer today, so he took the three of them to the Peach Blossom Nunnery to be chic, and the ordinary consumption was only about one hundred taels per person.
Song Ke pretended to be drunk and was helped into a private room by the girls, then knocked the woman unconscious, slipped out of the Peach Blossom Temple, and walked towards the mysterious temple on the map.
There is no curfew on some streets in Kyoto, so even if you walk on a deserted street, you can hear the noise in the distance.
The reason is very simple, there are not enough spiritual objects in the view, and the water of the full moon well has a little spiritual energy, which is helpful for cultivation.
As for the Confucian Academy and the Buddhist Lingchan Temple, they are far away from here, both in the east.
Song Ke was a little suspicious of the treasure keeper that Jingdao people said, and he needed to see it to be believing, as for his own great avenue oath, promising to bring back two blessed land secret treasures, he had already prepared the Wuyue crown and the Buddha bow.
However, the true shape of the Five Mountains contained in the Five Mountains Crown was taken away by himself, and a bow and arrow supporting the Buddha Bow was also detained by himself, so even if he handed it over, there was no danger to himself.
When he came to the vicinity of Xuanmiaoguan, Song Ke saw that a Chunfeng restaurant was still in business, so he immediately went to the window position of the single room on the second floor, warmed a pot of peach blossom stuffing, and asked for a plate of side dishes.
"It's just one word!"
Song Ke looked at the graceful maid and walked away with his slender waist after serving the food, and couldn't help but think of the Spring Breeze Building in Shicheng.
This position has a wide field of vision, and it is adjacent to the Xuanmiaoguan Sanqing Palace, while the buildings behind it are completely covered by the Sanqing Palace, making it difficult to see.
Song Ke sat in the Chunfeng Restaurant until the second half of the night, and found that there was no other movement in the Xuanmiao Temple except for the Taoist boy who came out of the wing room to pee, which was normal, and even the aura fluctuations were almost not felt.
When it was almost dawn, Song Ke first returned to the inn and told Yaya and Xuewa to stay honest and not run out, and by the way, he brought some snacks such as dried meat and nuts for the two of them.
Then return to the glittering Peach Blossom Temple, and return to the underground death row with the rest of the jailers to start a new day of work.
At dawn, Song Ke ordered at Lujiang's place on time, and then began to cook, simmering the withered yellow rotten vegetable leaves mixed with stale rice, and tearing off the chicken skin, chicken feet, chicken heads and other meat that he didn't like to eat, and began to deliver food to the prisoners.
Song Ke glanced at the swill buckets in the other two cells, and felt that the food he cooked should be better than that of the other two cells, except for cell A.
"How can I make the prisoner understand that I like to take bribes!"
Song Ke was serving the meal while thinking that it was not safe to put Yaya and Xuewa in the inn, and they couldn't be brought to prison, so they still needed to buy a house.
The house near the full moon well was ten rooms and nine empty, because the rules of the full moon well were there, and they were not allowed to get close to the edge of the well after dark, so the people nearby moved out a long time ago for fear of colliding with the big guys.
Therefore, the nearby houses are sparsely populated, and the price is very cheap, and a spirit stone can be bought and lived.
