Chapter 145: The Fourth Layer of Anti-Thieves
The way to enter the Imperial Prison is to jump into the whirlpool in the pond.
But when Xu Chong walked through that whirlpool, he didn't feel weightless.
Just a moment of darkness and light, it appeared in a new place.
It seems to be a small courtyard with houses, huts, kitchen sheds, vegetable gardens, and a small pond.
It covers an area of about half an acre.
Above is an endless blue sky, and the sun is not visible.
"It looks no different from the outside, is this the cave?"
Xu Chong looked around, and then felt his own situation.
Sure enough, he didn't feel the presence of strength.
Even the Yin God in the Purple Mansion fell into complete silence.
It was as if he had been beaten back to an ordinary person in an instant.
Except that the physical fitness is in a state that has been improved by the nine layers of washing, there is nothing extraordinary.
"Nine times to wash the body, there is no physical fitness...... Stronger than the average person, but only to a limited extent. β
After determining his own situation, Xu Chong silently recited in his heart: "Panel." β
[Name: Xu Chong]
γPurple Mansion: Yin God Changesγ
[Huang Ting: None]
γJade Pond: Noneγ
[Side Technique: Picking Stars (Integration), Greedy Light (Beginner Practice)]
[Rules: Immortality (consumes 10,000 spirit sources to activate)]
[Spiritual Source: 51]
[High concentration of aura, spiritual source is being generated]
"Sure enough, it can generate a spiritual source!"
Xu Chong breathed a sigh of relief.
When he came to the Imperial Prison, he only cared about two things, one was whether the panel could be opened, and the other was whether the spiritual source could be generated.
Now the panel has appeared, proving that neither of these are a problem.
"The concentration of aura is high, and it deserves to be a cave sky."
Xu Chong remembered that when he was accompanying Duqin Heavenly Prison, this sentence was 'medium concentration of aura'.
Obviously, the speed of the spiritual source generation of the edict must be faster than 1 o'clock in three days.
The only problem is that all the plus signs are gone.
Whether it is behind the Purple Mansion, Huangting, Yuchi, or the side behind, there is no plus sign at this time.
Therefore, even the panel can't bypass the rules of the Forbidden Heaven Jedi and let him be promoted when he is in the edict.
However, Xu Chong didn't care, he only needed to accumulate spiritual sources, and it would be the same if he broke through and waited for him to go out.
"Let's see what's going on here."
Xu Chong came back to his senses and walked towards the two-story building.
Knock knock.
Xu Chong knocked on the door.
Before he could call, the door opened a little with this slight force.
"No one?"
Xu Chong raised his eyebrows and pushed the door in.
The main hall, the inner room, the side room, the staircase, the table and chairs, the ornaments......
After a while, Xu Chong was sure that this was a very ordinary and common two-story building, similar to the place where he lived in Qin Tianjian.
And there was no one in it.
In other words, this whole courtyard is a single cell.
The only difference is that most of the entities are made of the same material as the Forbidden Shackles.
"No wonder Douzi said that the first layer is only for dignitaries, and it won't be for long...... Where is this jail, it is clearly a vacation. β
Xu Chong shook his head and came to the study on the east floor of the first floor.
Pen, ink, paper, inkstone, wooden shelves, and books.
Xu Chong casually took a book and flipped through it.
Since his debut, this son has been crisscrossing the capital for more than ten years, and he has not met an opponent so far, and he is the protector of the Taiping Road, and he can only bow his head to the courtiers. β
Now jealous of the villain, Yu Zhaojiao and his party, thinking that it is also fate, so that he can leave this son's original secret method, and hope that the later ones will cherish it. β
This is the content of the first page.
Can you be invincible in the capital when you debut?
It looked quite exaggerated, but it really made Xu Chong a little curious, and he turned to the second page.
ββ¦β¦β
With just one glance, Xu Chong was completely speechless.
This so-called original secret method turned out to be some bedding techniques.
It's just a dense small print, and it's accompanied by a picture, which is really outrageous.
Of course, there are even more outrageous ......
Annotations from latecomers.
'I don't dare to agree here', 'Daigo empowerment, Daigo empowerment!' "Your Excellency's method is wonderful, but if you don't use it congenitally, how should you deal with it?" ββ¦β¦
Xu Chong was a little speechless.
This 'no', also known as the use of the genitals, is to put it bluntly, it doesn't have that ability.
If you don't use it congenitally, it's a heavenly eunuch.
The most excessive thing is that there is a comment that directly covers the text: The thief dares to deceive me?!
These words are as sharp as a knife, and the words are full of anger.
It should be that the person who read this book went out to apply it, but it turned out that it was useless, and he tried his best to come back to the edict and leave this comment.
Xu Chong put the booklet back and flipped through it with a few others.
After a few moments, he had completely lost interest in the study.
Where is the collection of books, they are all methods of fun that some noble sons have figured out.
The joy of taking people, the joy of taking things.
Fun includes flowers, birds, insects and fish, antiques, wine and food, hunting and so on.
There is no limit to men and women...... It's spicy.
Out of the small building, there is nothing unusual in the yard, there are fruits and vegetables in the vegetable garden, and fish and shrimp in the pond.
Xu Chong walked straight out of the courtyard.
In any case, there is no door.
It is a hollow arch, and on the opposite side of the arch is another arch.
Lan Jing was leaning against the arch opposite and looking at the sky at forty-five degrees, looking infatuated.
Xu Chong wasn't ready to talk, so he raised his leg and was about to step out.
"Stop!!"
Lan Jing suddenly spoke up and stopped Xu Chong.
"What's wrong?"
Xu Chong frowned.
"Who is this brother, a little talented?"
Lan Jing smiled politely.
"Lu Donghua, I've seen Xiao Guogong."
Xu Chong casually talked nonsense.
Wuxiangyi changed his appearance, and after a cure, he didn't need strength, and he wouldn't be dispelled by the rules of the Forbidden Heaven and Jedi, so Lan Jing didn't recognize him.
"Brother Lu is polite, just call me Lanjing."
Lan Jing waved his hand, not daring to hold it up.
There are many people with the surname Lu in Beijing, but there is only one secondary assistant Lu Zhong in the first place.
Obviously, this Lu Donghua is the junior of the second assistant.
"Brother Lu is the first time to enter this edict, right?"
Lan Jing asked again.
"How did Brother Lan know?"
Xu Chong raised his eyebrows.
"Brother Lu doesn't know yet."
Lan Jing pointed to the ground in front of him, "This arch can't be exited, as soon as you step out, it will bounce back, and it will be dizzy at least and ...... It's dizzy and dizzy, and I can't get out anyway. β
ββ¦β¦ Brother Xie Lan reminded. β
Xu Chong arched his hand, a little speechless.
He can definitely get out, but it's not good to go out in front of others.
After all, I'm here to go to jail.
"It's just a trifle."
Lan Jing shook his head, then sighed, and leaned against the arch again.
"I said Lan Jing, can you stop here and sigh."
A head poked out from the arch opposite Xu Chong, and said speechlessly: "How long have you been here, I have heard you sigh eight hundred times." β
"Nonsense."
Lan Jing frowned, "Obviously it's only eighty-two." β
ββ¦β¦β
The man choked and asked, "How do you remember so clearly?" β
"Because, I missed her eighty-two times, hey......"
Lan Jing looked infatuated again, "It's eighty-three times now." β
ββ¦β¦β
The man was completely stunned, and looked at Xu Chong depressedly, "Zhao Jue, the eldest son of the Marquis of Xia Changxin, has seen Brother Lu." β
"Disrespectful, disrespectful."
Xu Chong gave up his hand, knowing that his nonsense name was probably reminiscent of Lu Zhong.
"Hehe, Lan Jingtie must have been thrown in by the female devil, I don't know why Brother Lu came in?"
Zhao Jue asked with a smile.
"What a female devil!"
Lan Jing was instantly furious, leaned out and glared at Zhao Jue, "I don't allow you to say that about her!" β
ββ¦β¦ Okay, it's my gaffe, I'm wrong, I'm wrong! β
Zhao Jue immediately admitted his mistake and said depressedly: "But you must have been thrown in by her." β
"This time it's different!"
Lan Jing was instantly infatuated, and said with a happy face: "This time, she didn't hit me." β
ββ¦β¦β
Xu Chong was speechless at this time.
Zhao Jue couldn't cry or laugh, and said to Xu Chong: "Brother Lu is used to it, Lanjing is like this." β
"This ...... He looks like this......"
Xu Chong couldn't help but speak.
Zhao Jue's face changed greatly, and he waved his hand again and again.
However, it was still too late.
"How long?"
Xu Chong's second half of the sentence asked.
"Hah! That's a long story. β
Lan Jing immediately refreshed, "That day, the wind and the sun were beautiful......"
Zhao Jue's helpless counterpart Xu Chong shrugged his shoulders.
After a long time, Xu Chong heard a beginning.
To put it bluntly, when he was thirteen years old, Lan Jing followed his father to hunt in a ranch outside the city, but was attacked by Taiping Dao.
Fortunately, Dou Tianyuan arrived in time and killed the strong enemy.
That time, Dou Zi also followed, and then the love was deeply rooted at a glance.
It's as simple as that.
If nothing else, this hobby from scratch should be learned from Dou Zi...... And it's been carried forward.
In Lan Jing's mouth, whether it is himself or Dou Zi, it is obviously a trick of playing soy sauce, and the two didn't even say a word, but it became a touching love story of lingering compassion and parting from life and death.
"Brother Blue...... Terrible. β
Xu Chong's face trembled, and he looked at Zhao Jue and diverted the topic: "I don't know why Brother Zhao came in?" β
"Ugh."
Zhao Jue touched his nose, and stopped talking a little.
"Don't guess, it must have been thrown in by his father because he refused to study."
Lan Jing seized the opportunity to retaliate, "How long have you been in?" I remember the last time I ran into you outside was half a year ago...... Your dad wasn't planning to let you die of old age, was he? β
"That's what he said......"
Zhao Jue's face was ashen, "I should have guessed a long time ago, he wanted my second brother to inherit the title." β
"Cut, I can't blame anyone else."
Lan Jing sneered, "Who made you not even a child now......"
"It's easy to say, do you know how difficult it is to take the exam for children?"
ββ¦β¦ I've lifted them all. β
"You are you, I am me, can it be the same? I'm now in the sevenfold pulse, what about you? β
"The pulse is heavy, but I am a lifter, and I will surpass you after washing my body."
The two began to compare deeply, and Xu Chong quietly returned to the small building.
The trivialities between these nobles are really a waste of hearing.
"Dou Zi said that he wanted to arrange a good place for me, but it ended up being arranged at the opposite door of Lanjing...... She probably wanted me to teach her a lesson about Lan Jing. β
"It's a pity, it's my business."
In this way, Xu Chong quietly waited for the spiritual source to be generated.
The first day passed, 51 o'clock.
The next day passed, and it was still 51 o'clock.
β¦β¦
It wasn't until the fifth day that the spiritual source rose by 1 point.
Looking at the '52' on the panel, Xu Chong's brows furrowed deeply.
It shouldn't be.
The concentration of Turin Qi is high, why is the spawn rate lower than that of the blessed land?
"Could it be...... Do you have to go down to the bottom? β
Xu Chong thought about it and walked out of the small building.
I don't know if it's because there's no chatting, or if it's already out, Lan Jing and Zhao Jue don't see anyone.
It's convenient.
Xu Chong stepped out of the arch.
Sure enough, he wasn't bounced back, and he didn't feel dizzy.
The road is only one zhang wide, and at a glance on both sides, there are all such arches, about six hundred.
At the end of the road, on one side was a blocked wall, and on the other, a whirlpool of things stood there.
If nothing else, it's the entrance to the next floor.
Xu Chong didn't think much about it, took a quick step, and plunged into it, and he didn't meet any other people in the process.
The light turns from bright to dark and then to bright.
This time, Xu Chong did not appear in the courtyard.
In front of him was a scene that was almost the same.
The road is wide and the road is lined with arches.
It's just that the spacing between the arches is much smaller, and there aren't as many as the first layer.
Dou Zi said that there should be no one on this floor now.
So Xu Chong walked straight towards the whirlpool at the end of the other side.
As I passed, I glanced through the arch a few times.
The courtyard is still a courtyard, but it is about half the size, the two-story building has become a one-story building, and the pond has become a well.
"Hehe, if you anger Long Yan, you can also have this condition, Emperor Qing is really merciful."
Xu Chong smiled and walked through the whirlpool.
I thought it would be the same feeling, but I didn't expect that as soon as he appeared on the third floor, he stumbled under his feet.
"Gravity has increased."
Xu Chong frowned and stood firm.
Fortunately, the increase is not much, and it does not affect his actions.
Looking up, it is still a wide road, and there is still a whirlpool at the end.
However, the courtyards on both sides have been transformed into tiled houses.
The small courtyard of more than 100 square meters is fenced and arranged in two rows.
It looks like Poplar Alley.
Poplar Lane ......
Xu Chong's eyes darkened, and he raised his legs and stepped forward.
"Yo, new face."
He hadn't taken a few steps when a voice came from the courtyard on the left.
Middle-aged man in plain prison uniform and with a disheveled mantle is watering a vegetable patch.
Xu Chong had already seen him, but he didn't intend to pay attention to it and continued to walk to the other end.
"Cut, dog fighting human power."
The middle-aged man spat and scolded: "If you have the ability to tell me your name, when the official goes out, I will join you!" β
"Zhao Jue."
Xu Chong didn't look back.
ββ¦β¦ Who are you fooling when you step on a horse, Lao Tzu is the Zhao family! β
Middle-aged people are angry and ruined.
"Blue View."
ββ¦β¦ You stepped on a horse when I never saw Lan Gongzi? β
The middle-aged man stared at Xu Chongyuan's back and shouted.
didn't go far, and someone wanted to stop Xu Chong, and there was more than one.
"Little brother, help the old man send a message back to the Li family, there will be a good reward......"
"Little brother, stop, I won't let you bring news, you can go to the upper two floors and get me some meat......"
"I was wronged, I want to see Lord Dou......"
ββ¦β¦β
And so on, Xu Chong ignored them all.
Anyway, he used a false face, even if the prince was locked up here, he still dared to offend.
It's annoying to force Lai Lai, so you can go up and smoke it with a big mouth.
Soon, Xu Chong walked up to the vortex and plunged into it.
Those who had been paying attention to him were stunned.
"Didn't he come here for interrogation?"
"It doesn't matter...... How dare he just go straight down? β
"Haha, I'm stunned, I'm going to suffer."
ββ¦β¦β
Xu Chong didn't know any of this.
But he really suffered.
As soon as he appeared on the fourth floor, before he could see his surroundings clearly, the strong gravity violently pressed him to the ground.
ββ¦β¦β
Xu Chong's whole person was stuck in the soil, and he didn't recover for a long time.
You know, he doesn't have the strength to protect his body now.
Even if you have experienced the body washing realm, it only makes the physical body pure, and it is not much stronger than ordinary people.
It's a loss of soft land, otherwise this gravity raid is likely to hurt him.
Even, if there is a sharp stone just on the vital point......
"Damn, why didn't Dou Zi mention such an important matter?"
"Okay...... She didn't know I was going to go deeper. β
Xu Chong got up after a long time, panting again and again.
It was only then that he could see the scene of the fourth layer clearly.
When he fell, he didn't come into contact with dirt, but clouds.
The entire fourth layer is a gray sea of clouds.
In fact, it can't be called a sea of clouds, depending on the area of the entire cloud layer, it is more appropriate to call it a cloud lake.
In the cloud lake, there are nearly 100 pieces of land similar to the top of the mountain piercing out of the clouds, with an area of about fifty or sixty square meters.
It is bounded by a low hedge, with simple thatched huts and small ditches dug by hand.
There are vegetable patches, but there is a significant gap between the types and sizes of the plants growing on them.
As far as the eye can see, there are only six prisoners at the top of the hundred peaks.
The six people sat cross-legged, expressionless, as if they were ignoring Xu Chong's arrival.
looks down-on to life and death.
No need to ask, they are all nail households who refuse to explain.
Xu Chong didn't bother to pay attention, got up with enough strength, and walked towards the vortex in the distance step by step.
The process was a bit slow, and it took him half an hour.
In front of the whirlpool, Xu Chong lay directly on the ground, preparing to go to the fifth floor in a crawling posture.
"You're going to die."
The only woman among the six spoke, "Even if you climb in, you'll die." β
Xu Chong paused.
"Just you have a lot of trouble, isn't it good to let him die, give us a funeral."
"That's it, you're a thief, when did you care about the life and death of the Bloody Guard."
"Let your Dao master know, and kick you out of Taiping Road as soon as possible."
ββ¦β¦β
Several others spoke out one after another, sneering.
Xu Chong understood it.
This woman is a thief, and the other five are officials who have committed capital crimes.
