78 Life is better than death

The guard at the door stood straight, and his image looked no worse than that of the well-trained sergeant of the guard.

The only weirdness is:

They all squint their eyes, making it difficult to see the eyeballs.

Xia Zhi turned his head with a feeling, as if he felt that someone was peeping at him.

The guards who came into view didn't notice anything unusual.

The stake-like guards did not move, and the summer solstice walked into the city gate without stopping.

One of the guards watched them walk away, a faint and inaudible laugh coming out of his mouth.

Pedestrians on the street drooped their eyelids and did not see any communication.

Although there are many pedestrians, there is no noise,

The whole city was quiet and a little creepy, as if the streets were walking with walking corpses.

There is actually a soup kitchen on the road, which makes the summer solstice a little surprised.

Walking into the inn, Xia Zhi said to the shopkeeper who was standing there with his eyelids drooping

"Give us two rooms, and ask for the two by the stables"

"Okay, guest officer, please come with me"

The other party's slightly mechanical reaction made Xia Zhi frown, but he endured his doubts and didn't speak again.

The shopkeeper should be a member of the dark department of Tsing Yi Wei, and his words are not casually said.

He should have replied that there was no room, and then began to talk to himself about the code,

Something happened to the dark staff, and this shopkeeper is not a member of the dark department.

Otherwise, it would not be the reaction it is now.

After entering the room, Xia Solstice glanced at Hoda,

Huoda looked out of the door and closed the door, then put his ear to the door for a long time before nodding to Xia Zhi.

Xia Solstice walked to the corner and squatted, buckled up two floor tiles, revealing a groove,

There were two gold ingots inside, and he ignored the gold ingots and reached out to fumble inside---

His eyes moved, and he was a little surprised to pick out a small bamboo knot,

A small note was unfolded in the bamboo knot, and small letters were written on it

"Don't go out, come to the cellar two minutes apart from jet lag......"

What he said was 'come', could it be that the people of the Suizhou Shadow Department were hiding there? Or will there be more clues there?

It seems that the plan is going to change, and I was thinking that after settling down, I went separately to investigate.

In this case, it is better not to go out, it feels too weird here, wait until the evening to see how it goes.

"Tell Jiang Baihe and them, we won't go anywhere, no one is allowed to go out,

Don't go out to eat, take dry food and go to bed."

Huoda was a little puzzled, but he didn't question it, and immediately went to the next door to pass the word.

The wind and waves stayed up until late at night, and just after the hour, the summer solstice heard the faint sound of moving footsteps outside.

endured curiosity, and finally got three minutes away from the child, and the summer solstice went out alone,

After a careful search, his face was even more surprised,

Except for the four of them, there was no one in the entire inn.

Go back and call everyone and go into the cellar,

Follow the instructions on the note and find a well-hidden, swarthy hole in the cellar.

"I'll go down and take a look, Brother Huo, you guys are guarding here"

"Okay, be careful yourself"

"Hmm"

Holding the fire fold down the stairs for a few steps, I saw a torch next to it,

Light the torch and continue walking.

The faintly visible open space makes the energy in the body of the summer solstice start to operate,

Be prepared for the unexpected that may arise at any time.

There was no accident, but the disgusting smell made Xia Solstice want to turn around and leave.

At most, there is only twenty square meters of space, there is not much clutter, and there is a miserable person lying on the ground.

His limbs were chained, and his limbs were even exposed at the chains.

What about the members of the Tsing Yi Guard's dark department? Who is this locked up?

Xia Zhi was full of doubts, and endured the unpleasant smell to check,

Fortunately, the person is still alive.

He stuck the torch on the ground, stepped forward and carefully lifted the other man up, and asked him to sit down against the wall.

"Water----"

The other party's weak and inaudible voice made Xia Zhi's eyes look around,

There were a number of bowls of water on the floor, but most of them were broken, but fortunately a few survived.

After feeding the other party and drinking some water, the other party had the strength to slowly look up at the summer solstice,

After exchanging a few words, Xia Zhi found out that the other party was actually the person in charge of Tsing Yiwei's dark department in Suizhou.

"The lowly local branch of the dark department Yin Siyi has seen an adult"

"Don't worry, eat this first"

Xia Zhi took out the pill and sent it to the other party's mouth, but the other party did not cooperate

"My lord, you don't have to waste such a precious thing, you can't last long."

"Eat it, it's the officer's order"

His unquestioning attitude made the other party hesitate for a long time, and finally chose to obey.

"Tell me what's going on in Suizhou"

Seeing a faint flush on Yin Siyi's face, Xia Zhi spoke again

"Yes"

It happened about ten days ago, and Lord Zhizhou issued a strange announcement,

Calling on all residents of the city to listen to a master every night to give a Zen lecture,

Whoever goes will receive a mina of silver.

The vast majority of people will not refuse this kind of good deed, so I heard that there are many people who go.

The two guys in the inn are also members of the dark department,

was sent by Yin Siyi to find out, this kind of strange thing must be investigated and reported, this is their duty.

When the two men came back, they said that they had indeed given out money.

And the gushing praise of the master is all wise sayings.

The next day, let the two guys continue to check what is going on, and their performance after returning attracted Yin Siyi's attention.

The two guys have a lot of respect for the so-called masters,

Between the words, the master is a compassionate god who has come to save all nations to enjoy the blessings of bliss.

Sensing that their emotions were not right, Yin Siyi did not dare to let them continue to listen to Zen.

Who knew that just after the night, the two guys wanted to go out again,

After being stopped by Yin Siyi, the two of them showed a fierce light, as if they regarded Yin Siyi as an enemy who killed their father.

Fortunately, their strength was limited, and Yin Siyi decisively knocked the two unconscious and locked them in the secret room.

When the time came, the performance of the two men who were chained made Yin Siyi feel horrified.

They struggled with all their might, regardless of it, and wanted to listen to Zen.

I want to let the master lead them to Elysium.

Their madness is unbelievable,

Yin Si looked at the guy's limbs being strangled by iron chains, even if he couldn't stand up,

Still crawling and trying to go out to listen to Zen, there is no physical pain at all,

It's as if it's someone else, not yourself, who is gushing blood from your limbs.

There was no need for Yin Siyi to stop it, and the two of them soon died of excessive blood loss.

But Yin Siyi was so frightened that he doubted his life.

They are all trained and determined Tsing Yi Wei,

But he was so easily bewitched, this so-called master is by no means simple,

Moreover, even they are easily seduced, so the others ---

Yin Siyi didn't dare to think about it anymore, and immediately sent out a bird biography,

Then after thinking about it for a long time, he resolutely went out......

After arriving at the place, he found that what the master said was indeed a wise saying, which was absolutely trustworthy.

What I thought before was wrong, and it was a blasphemy against the master.

When he went back after dawn, Yin Siyi suddenly felt that his situation was not right.

Recalling the performance of the two guys, he decisively left a note,

Then he scattered his exercises, and broke all his hands and tendons, and then locked himself firmly in the secret room.

He was afraid that he would die too quickly, so he prepared some water and food.

Then, every evening, he would lose his mind and want to listen to the master's teachings.

The remnants of reason in the subconscious simply cannot resist this demagogy.

When I woke up the next day, I realized how wise I was.

Because his limbs have been blurred by his own flesh and blood,

Fortunately, he dispersed his work in advance and broke his tendons and tendons, otherwise he estimated that he would have died last night.

Then he endured a round of torture every day, and he persevered until now.
