The two walked through the deep valley, walked out of the barren mountain, found a medical hall to briefly treat Yuwen Yanyi's wounds, and then walked all the way south for more than ten days, gradually approaching Fangzhou.

As soon as he entered the territory of Fangzhou, the strange man used a thick black cloth to bind Yuwen Yanyi's eyes, then held his hand tightly and walked forward quickly.

Yuwen Yanyi couldn't see the terrain in front of her, nor could she discern the direction, so she could only hold the strange man's hand tightly, like a young child who had just been able to walk. He felt that his feet were high and low, sometimes as if he was walking up a hill, sometimes as if he had entered a valley, and soon he was in a trance by the rugged terrain under his feet and the unknown in his heart.

I don't know how long I walked, but the strange man finally stopped and shook off Yuwen Yanyi's hand. Yuwen Yanyi had a black cloth tied to his eyes, he didn't know where he was, he only felt a little difficult to breathe, and his chest seemed to be pressed against a thousand catties of boulder.

The strange man moved his wrist, took off the black cloth on Yuwen Yanyi's eyes, and said coldly: "Yuwen Yanyi, since you can even do it to your own master, it must not be difficult for you to kill a stranger, right?" ”

Yuwen Yanyi's eyes were tightly bound by the black cloth for a long time, and he became extremely photophobic. At this moment, even the faint light of fire in the darkness shook him so much that he couldn't open his eyes. After a while, his eyes slowly opened, and by the faint light, he quickly looked around, and saw that he was in an impermeable stone room, whether it was under his feet, the four walls, or the roof of the shed were all made of hard and cold stone bricks, and he did not feel a trace of life. On each of the four walls, there is a candlestick, and the faint light of the candle is the only thing in the room that can make people feel a little warmth.

In front of the west wall, there stood an unkempt and ragged old man, his hands firmly handcuffed by iron rings, and behind the iron rings were two cold iron chains, which bound him firmly to the wall. He lowered his head at this time, his face covered by scattered strands of hair, and his bloodshot, lifeless eyes could be faintly seen through the hair.

The strange man pointed at the prisoner and ordered Yuwen Yanyi: "Go, kill him!" ”

Yuwen Yanyi shook his head and said, "Who is he?" Why kill him? Do you think that if you save me, I will be a tool to kill for you? ”

Strange man: "He is just a common man of the Song Kingdom, a farmer who is so lowly that he can't be more despicable." Since you hate Song Guo as much as I do, you killed him in front of me! His voice was very cold, as if the life of a civilian was worse than an ant in his eyes.

Yuwen Yanyi shook his head again, "No, what I hate is those faint officials in the Song Kingdom, what I hate is Liu Yu, what I hate is Fu Yanqing, and what I hate is Zhao Guangyi, who is a faint monarch, not this ordinary person who has never known me in my life." I'm not going to kill innocents for your sake! ”

The strange man laughed wildly: "You are really too naïve, just like Ben Shuai back then." But Ben Shuai advises you, an innocent and kind person like you will never be able to take revenge! Because in this world, not only your enemies will harm you, strangers, and even your friends may harm you at any time, you can't even bear to do such a dying person, if you are betrayed by your friends in the future, what else can you do except die silently? ”

Yuwen Yanyi insisted: "Don't say it again! I will not kill for you, never, I would rather die myself than hurt innocent people! ”

"Really?" The strange man nodded, "Since you take death as a feather, then you can wait to starve to death here." If you regret it one day, kill this person, and then shout twice, and then the commander will reward you with food! ”

After he finished speaking, he laughed a few more times, walked out of the stone room slowly, closed the heavy stone door, and there was a heavy sound of locking outside the door. Yuwen Yanyi's face was heavy, looking at the airtight stone room, and let out a long sigh.

After a long time, Yuwen Yanyi sat under the candlestick, and by the faint light of the fire, he flipped through the book of "Nine Yao Seven Stars Jue" in his arms. His mood at the moment was extremely heavy, and only the warm fire in front of him and the martial arts cheats in his hand could make him forget his troubles for a while.

He looked at it for a long time, and gradually his eyelids became heavy, so he put the book aside and fell asleep. In the dream, his parents were still alive, and the family lived carefree in the mountain villa outside Jinling City, the time was quiet and beautiful, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously flashed a smile.

Yuwen Yanyi was sleeping soundly, and suddenly heard a man's hoarse voice calling to him, he opened his sleepy eyes, followed the sound and looked at it, and saw that it was the farmer who was tied to the wall. His eyes were completely dull at this time, as if they were a corpse that had long since died.

"Did you call me?" Yuwen Yanyi asked.

The farmer nodded weakly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Young man, you should kill me, this is a relief for you and me......"

Yuwen Yanyi shook his head, "No! Once my hands are stained with the blood of innocents, I am afraid that I will not be able to wash them off in this life, and I will not be able to grant your request. ”

The farmer smiled bitterly a few times, and said no more, and the trace of popularity that had been finally born in Fang Cai was once again annihilated in the endless darkness. Perhaps death was not a painful thing for him, but a permanent relief.

Yuwen Yanyi was reluctant to see this farmer again, not only because she didn't want to see his painful expression, but also because she didn't want to see her future self. If he had not agreed to the strange man's request, he would have ended up worse than the farmer, and he would not even have a good time for himself. He didn't dare to think about it anymore, and the best place to escape reality was to dream.

The sky is not visible in the stone room, day and night cannot be distinguished, and even time has become a luxury and superfluous concept here. In addition to reading, Yuwen Yanyi sleeps, and rarely talks to the farmer, and everything is nothing more than simple repetition.

I don't know how long it took, Yuwen Yanyi gradually felt hungry in his abdomen, at first he just screamed a few times, and then his stomach began to twist and hurt, and Yuwen Yanyi sweated profusely all over his body, and the pain slowly eased.

Yuwen Yanyi couldn't remember how long he hadn't eaten, and he felt that if he didn't have anything to eat, he wouldn't last long and he would die. But in such an environment, let alone eating, even the air in the room became more and more turbid and thinner, and it began to become difficult to breathe.

Suddenly, there was a clear sound of footsteps outside the door, as if someone was slowly walking towards the stone chamber from the long and narrow stone corridor outside. Although this man walks slowly, every step is sonorous and powerful. It took him a long time before he finally walked to the stone gate, took out the key and opened the lock.

After the iron lock was opened, the stone door was slowly pushed open, and a gust of musty air poured in from outside the door. If ordinary people smell such air, they are afraid that they will have to cover their noses and retreat, but at this moment, Yuwen Yanyi feels that this air is more refreshing than the breeze with the fragrance of flowers in the mountains in the early morning.

Immediately afterwards, a fierce man strode in with a leather whip. He looked at the farmer who was tied to the stone wall, and then at Yuwen Yanyi, and said with a big mouth: "Boy, what kind of kindness do you have blindly, thinking that you are the reincarnation of the Buddha?" I tell you, if you don't want to starve, kill him quickly, or you'll die an ugly death than he does! ”

As he spoke, the big man raised the leather whip in his hand, and with a terrifying sound of breaking the air, he slammed it Yuwen Yanyi. Yuwen Yanyi glared at this big man angrily, and instinctively clenched his fists, but he was so hungry at this time that he didn't even have the strength to stand up, how could he still have the strength to resist?

"Boy, you dare to stare at me!" Dahan snorted coldly, picked up the leather whip in his hand again, and whipped Yuwen Yanyi fiercely again. Yuwen Yanyi snorted in pain, and the wound on his chest that had just scabbed over instantly opened his flesh.

He was weak and wanted to get up from the ground, but the big man stepped on his head and laughed: "Boy, you are a mud bodhisattva who crosses the river and can't protect yourself, why do you care about other people's lives and deaths?" You are nothing more than a lost dog who betrayed his master and was rescued by our commander, and you really think of yourself as a hero? ”

Yuwen Yanyi ended up like this because of the tragic death of his family. At this time, when I heard the words "lost dog", the anger in my heart had burned to the peak, and I couldn't wait to kill this damn man with a sword. But his head was stepped on, and his whole body had no strength, so he could only turn his face sideways, staring at the big man with cold eyes, and said word by word: "You say it again!" ”

Dahan sneered: "You still dare to threaten Lao Tzu!" Who do you think you are? He waved his whip and was about to draw it again, when suddenly the heavy footsteps of the strange man came from outside the door.

The strange man walked slowly into the stone chamber and asked, "How is it, is the person dead?" He looked at the farmer with surprise and disappointment in his eyes, but also an intriguing smile.

When Dahan saw this strange man, he hurriedly bowed down and said, "...... The subordinates have seen the blood handsome! He suddenly became respectful, and instantly changed from a fierce beast to a vicious dog wagging his tail behind his master and begging for mercy.

The strange man looked at Yuwen Yanyi and snatched the whip from the big man's hand, "Waste, who told you to beat him like this?" If you can't even do such a simple thing, what's the use of raising you? ”

Yuwen Yanyi was still a strange person and blamed the big man for being too heavy, and said secretly, "Although this person is ruthless, he is not quite unreasonable, it seems that I may really be able to get out of here alive." ”

But his illusion was completely shattered the next moment with the sharp sound of the whip breaking through the air. only heard the sound of a whip "pop" in mid-air, and the air seemed to be shattered inch by inch, and then the whip body drooped and slammed on Yuwen Yanyi's body, and a stream of blood burst out in an instant.

Yuwen Yanyi could still hold back and not scream just now, but this whip that hurt into the bone marrow was whipped on his body, he couldn't hold it anymore and screamed miserably. The strange man smiled coldly, and the soft whip in his hand was pulled down again, splashing another bloody light. Yuwen Yanyi was so painful that she almost fainted, and even the big man was terrified to see it, and cold sweat oozed from the corners of his forehead.

The strange man whipped Yuwen Yanyi more than a dozen times in a row, until his whole body was blurred. The big man standing on the side turned pale, and he really couldn't stand it, and said tremblingly: "Big ...... Dashuai, he's going to die like this......"

"Do you want to teach you how to do things?" The strange man glanced at the big man with a flick in his hand, and immediately pulled him back a foot or two, and his back slammed into the stone wall, almost spurting blood.

Yuwen Yanyi said proudly: "Handsome? How can there be such a bloodthirsty and brutal handsome man as you in the world? If you have the ability, you will kill me, and if you don't kill me, you will not be a hero! ”

The strange man lowered his long whip and shook his head slightly, "Yuwen Yanyi, you are a sword that has not yet been bladed to Ben Shuai. Ben Shuai will only sharpen you and train you, but it will never break you! He laughed and walked out of the stone chamber, and the big man followed behind him and walked out quickly. The stone gate was closed again, cutting off Yuwen Yanyi's only way of life.
