As soon as the sky was bright, Jiang Shuiyao's door was pushed open. Chai Que was not surprised at all, and the river stayed awake all night. His face was full of impatience, and his voice was extremely cold: "I'll take you to see your father." ”

After that, Chai Que frowned a little towards Jiang Shui, and the latter only felt a burst of golden light flashing in front of him, and after being dazzled, he was already standing outside the gate with Chai Que.

The door was copper-colored, mottled with a little rust, and after pushing the door open, Jiang Shuiyao found that it was actually a prison.

Chai Que said coldly: "The place where they are is too far away from Huantai Town, only by sacrificing divine thoughts can I bring you over in such a short time." ”

The two walked down the stone steps, and Jiang Shui saw many creatures locked in their cells, both human and demon. The prison was extremely eerie, with torture instruments hanging on the walls, and occasional glimpses of living beings suffering inhuman torture. The jailers were not dissatisfied, and there were countless spikes on the iron whips in their hands, but as soon as the whip went down, they immediately let out a terrible wail.

Those imprisoned creatures were more or less cultivated, especially the aura emitted by the individual demon beasts in the cell made him feel extremely frightened, this kind of formidable aura that even he didn't have at the beginning against a strong person like Shangfu Lao Shi.

The two walked down the aisle in a leisurely manner, and no living creature in the prison seemed to be able to sense their presence. Jiang Shuiyao's heart trembled, could it be that his father and mother have been locked up in this kind of place for most of the year?

Jiang Shuiyao clenched his fists, his eyes full of hatred.

The adoptive father was not in good health, and the adoptive mother did not know how to practice at all. If a little person like them upsets the jailer one day, losing his life is probably a matter of two whips.

Chai Que didn't speak, slowed down his steps, and stopped from time to time to introduce the crimes of the prisoners in these cells who were arrested by the Bloody Clothes Soul Sect, intending to let Jiang Shui Yao experience the taste of this cell.

However, the road was more than ten zhang long, and the two walked for nearly a stick of incense. Jiang Shuiyao's head was bruised, his fists were clenched, and his nails were even more eager to be embedded in the flesh.

In the largest cell in the prison at the end of the road, Jiang Shuiyao finally saw the figure of his adoptive parents. Bai Hua couldn't stop coughing while lying on the rockfall, while Liu Qing stood by with a bowl of clear water, his face full of anxiety.

Seeing that the two of them were in good condition, Jiang Shuiyao breathed a sigh of relief, which also showed that they were not whipped by the jailers. But at this moment, Bai Hua suddenly sat up straight and coughed, and a large mouthful of black blood spurted out, and then sprinkled on the haystack under the bed!

Jiang Shuiyao's nerves were tense, and after he walked in, he saw that there was an iron basin under Bai Hua's bed, which was almost filled with dirty blood. The jet-black hay around the iron basin is the color that only appears after being soaked in a large amount of blood.

"Daddy! Mother! ”

Jiang Shuiyao cried through the cell door, pulling the iron chain above with both hands, and jingled for a while, but the two people in the room did not react at all, and they couldn't detect Jiang Shuiyao's existence at all.

After a while, Chai Que waved his hand and brought him back to reality.

The river is far away, still crying, and his eyes are full of hatred for Chai Que. The latter turned a deaf ear, walked straight to the table and sat down, and said, "I discussed with Mr. Li last night, he is only responsible for stabilizing his condition, as for the elixir to save your father, you have to refine it yourself!" ”

"I'm refining?!" Jiang Shui Yao couldn't wait to rush up and strangle Chai Que: "When I finish refining, when will I go?!" ”

"It's up to you."

Chai Que poured himself a cup of overnight tea, and then said: "Originally, when they came out of Ping'an Town, their life was not bad, they had a new house, they didn't have to worry about food and drink, and they were far, far away from this prison. But I've been so disappointed with your performance over the past six months, and I don't think they deserve to enjoy the stability they have been with so far......

Jiang Shuiyao wiped the tears and snot on his face casually, and laughed angrily: "Disappointment? Deputy Sect Master Chai, at that time, you arrested me and killed that person, just to get what you want from Jiang Kuohai. How can I disappoint you? ”

Seeing Chai Que silently taking a sip of cold tea, Jiang Shuiyao's voice gradually hardened: "I heard that there is a kind of pill that can make people's cultivation skyrocket instantly after eating, but the consequences are extremely serious. Vice Sect Master Chai, did you prepare this elixir for me early? ”

Chai Que's face changed slightly, and he asked, "Where did you hear that?" ”

Jiang Shuiyao asked rhetorically: "Why do you need to inquire deliberately? Although I didn't know much about cultivation in the past few years, I had never heard of anyone who could go from not knowing anything to the Sword Monarch Mirror in three months. ”

Chai Que wanted to refute, but in the end, he just put down the teacup and sighed softly, and the room fell into a deathly silence. After a long time, Chai Que suddenly said: "Let me ask you, even if there are some irresistible factors that have caused you to have no time to practice for most of the past half a year, but you ask yourself, when I squeezed out time for you, did you cherish it?" ”

Jiang Shuiyao seemed to have heard a big joke and sneered: "What? Anyway, I won't be able to live after taking that kind of pill when the time comes, what's the point of cherishing it or not? ”

"You !!"

Chai Que was furious, and almost raised his hand to fan Jiang Shui Yao again.

How the fuck is this more stubborn than Lao Tzu?!

Chai Que was patient, and his fingers knocked on the table to make a very regular dingdong sound, which gradually coincided with the frequency of Jiang Shuiyao's heartbeat who was choking. After a short silence, Chai Que then asked, "You also saw a few days ago that it was easy to kill Li Renwei in seconds with my strength. But do you know why I ran away with you in Huantai that day? ”

"To save you!!" Chai Que's voice suddenly raised, startling Jiang Shuiyao, who was just about to speak.

"I slashed myself and cultivated myself, and gave you spiritual power! During that time, my origin was injured, and if I made a move, I would inevitably see the flaws in the Chengtian Sword Sect. And once this news is known to the Chengtian Sword Sect, they will inevitably seize the opportunity to make a thunderous attack on the Bloody Cloth Soul Sect. Can I afford such a price? ”

As soon as these words were spoken, Jiang Shuiyao's mind went blank in an instant. Chai Que's explanation is not much different from what Lao Yutou said that day.

Even if Jiang Shui Yao didn't admit it in his heart, he felt that Chai Que was very scheming, maybe he was singing some kind of bitter meat trick now. But it is not difficult to see from the time when Lao Yutou hid in a hurry that day, that the two did not know each other, and Lao Yutou, as a bystander, had no reason to coax himself.

Jiang Shui Yao carefully recalled what Lao Yutou said at that time, and his face unconsciously changed from extreme anger to unbelievable shock. Could it be that Chai Que really gave up his life in order to save himself?

After staring at Chai Que with mottled hair and beard for a while, Jiang Shuiyao's eyes gradually began to moisten again. After a long pause, Jiang Shui Yao cowardly asked, "Is your injury healed now?" ”

"Mr. Li's wonderful hand is rejuvenated, which is naturally good." Chai Que replied softly: "At the cost of thirty years of life." ”

Chai Que sighed lightly and continued: "Child, even if you are ten thousand unhappy to worship the Blood Cloth Soul Sect, but the path of cultivation is related to your future, it is not just me making a plan for you, you only need to follow the steps every day to forget the errand." To be honest, your talent is the best I have encountered in the hundreds of years I have walked the rivers and lakes, and there is no one. No matter how amazing your talent is, it can't withstand such a bad abuse from you. If you continue like this for a long time, you will eventually be ruthlessly eliminated on the path of cultivation. Let me ask you, what will you do to protect your father and mother when the time comes? ”

Jiang Shui Yao was just about to speak, but was interrupted by Chai Que. He seemed to be able to see through Jiang Shuiyao's thoughts, and then said, "Do you think that you can survive for the rest of your life by hiding in the small mountain village where you lived before? ”

"You're wrong. Who could have predicted natural and man-made disasters? Or one day the beast tide hits, or one day two strong men fight near your house, or like you see in Tianjiang City, the battle between the two cities will come, affecting countless lives. And when these accidents come, can you still guarantee that you can take your father and mother safely? ”

Chai Que's expression of hatred for iron and steel was extremely obvious, and after saying this, he sighed again, and then said: "The conduct of the Bloody Cloth Soul Sect is indeed not good in the eyes of the world. The rule that a disciple in the sect can challenge the master and occupy his position after victory is enough to violate the great principle of respecting the teacher in the eyes of the world. But what does that mean? Is the Bloody Cloth Soul Sect really inferior to a beast? Are all the Chengtian Sword Sect good people? Not necessarily! If the Bloody Soul Sect is really as you and your father thought, it is full of jackals, tigers and leopards that are inferior to beasts, then why can it stand for a hundred years? Didn't even fall apart from the inside? You have followed me for most of the past half a year to gain more or less knowledge, just take Li Ren's use of your life and cultivation as an example, can it be regarded as above board? ”

"Where there is light, there will naturally be darkness." Chai Que didn't know how much he sighed today, and said slowly with a teacup: "No matter which sect you are in, you can be fearless if you stick to your heart." You tell me? ”

Jiang Shui stayed in place, speechless for a while. This is the first time Chai Que has reasoned with him, and every word is like a bell, which makes his heart rise in turmoil, and it is difficult to calm down for a while.

"Think about it! Tomorrow's Dan Festival, Mr. Li will take the stage for alchemy. At that time, there will also be a small auction to sell pills and various medicinal materials. If you're lucky, you should have a centric grass. ”

After speaking, Chai Que got up and left.

Li Guang persuaded him for a long time last night, so he had such calm words today. He is a person with a very high spirit, and there has never been a shortage of all kinds of geniuses who want to worship him over the years, but so far, there is only one person under Chai Que, and on the premise of having an agreement with Jiang Kuohai, he accepted the previous waste wood apprentice. And Jiang Shuiyao, who was captured by him to replace him, was the first person he met in these years who wanted to be included in the door.

It can be seen from Chai Que when he is injected that Jiang Shuiyao's qualifications are excellent, and even a little good to the point of perversion. is the same temper as himself, and after getting along for most of the year, quarrels have almost become commonplace for the two. It is precisely because of this that Jiang Shuiyao began to become more and more resistant, which caused Chai Que to mention the refiner several times, but instead of agreeing, Jiang Shuiyao did not agree, but instead fell into a good word, which made him angry.

Fortunately, Li Guang died and persuaded him, and the old stubborn cow changed his temperament a little bit and lowered his posture towards the little stubborn cow.

"A good piece of iron, I don't believe I can't make you into steel!" Chai Que snorted, seeing that Jiang Shui Yao was touched, he was in a good mood.

At night, Jiang Shuiyao found Chai Que, knelt down and knocked his head three times, and said with a straight face: "Let my parents go, I'll practice with you." ”

Li Guang stood aside and laughed: "Take a look! As soon as the old stubborn cow bows his head, the little stubborn cow will naturally bow his head. ”

"You're the cow!"

Chai Que glared angrily, and then replied with a smile towards Jiang Shui: "It's easy to say!" Say! ”

"I'll have them taken out of their cells now, and I'll take you to see them in a little while!"
