Chapter 13: The Clansmen
Lin Xiu, who was in the illusion realm, had no idea what was happening in the outside world, and at this time, he was in a huge prison.
The night was like ink, there was no light, looking at the dark prison, Lin Xiu's legs trembled slightly, no matter how resolute he was, he was only a sixteen-year-old child, thinking that he might be imprisoned here for the rest of his life, a trace of fear rose in his heart for no reason. But fortunately, Lin Xiu quickly adjusted his mentality and calmed down.
"I was too careless!" Lin Xiu complained in his heart, but it was really too weird just now.
Suppressing the fear in his heart, Lin Xiu raised his head and looked around carefully.
In the pitch-black prison, only the oil lamp on the stone wall can emit a faint light, and on both sides are the solid cells, and there is a faint sound of breathing in the cell, and Lin Xiu himself is on the passage between the two cells.
Moving cautiously, Lin Xiu leaned towards a cell. The cells are made of special stainless steel, making it difficult to escape.
Stopping in front of the cell door, Lin Xiu's eyes fell on the people in the cell, there were about fifteen or sixteen people in the cell, both the elderly and children. At this time, Lin Xiu's eyes were falling on an old man who was over seventy years old. The old man was dressed in a silver robe, and the cloth plate on his chest was engraved with four dark red ripples, indicating his identity, but perhaps because it had not been washed for a long time, the robe looked a little dull. The wrinkled old face, mixed with a hint of pain in deep sleep, looked like life in prison was not comfortable.
Lin Xiu looked at the old man blankly, and didn't react for a long time, but after a while, there was a touch of irrepressible excitement on that resolute face.
"Third Elder, Third Elder!" Lin Xiu suppressed his voice and shouted in a deep voice.
The old man's eyes suddenly opened, and the long detention did not make him lose his keen insight.
It seemed that he had found a young man outside the prison, and the old man could not hide the surprise in his eyes, this place was not accessible to ordinary people.
"Are you?" the old man was a little puzzled, he was sure that he had never seen the young man in front of him.
"Third Elder, it's me, I'm Yu'er!" Lin Xiu's eyes were a little moist, and when he saw the old man's doubts, he hurriedly explained.
"It's you! How did you get here? Didn't you escape?" the old man's body shook suddenly, his eyes were full of surprise, and his hoarse voice trembled a little.
"Third Elder, this matter is a long story, in short, I was not arrested. As he spoke, Lin Xiu's gaze swept over the rest of the people, and those familiar faces were still fresh in his memory.
The three elders who heard the words relieved their hearts and cautiously passed through the clansmen, and the three elders came to the prison door, holding Lin Xiu's hands tightly with a pair of dry hands, and the old man's face was unconcealable joy, and he didn't believe that this was true at this time.
"By the way, Third Elder, what kind of place is this?" Lin Xiu lowered his voice, afraid of waking up the people around him and causing unnecessary trouble.
"We've been locked up here since we were arrested, but I don't know much about this place, and if I'm right, this should be the secret prison of the Heavenly Martial Sect. When the third elder talked about this, there was also a confused look on his face, he didn't understand why so many masters suddenly emerged in the Lingwu Empire that night.
"Don't worry, I'll be out of the country with you!Third Elder, where are my parents?"
"The team leader is in the cell next door, you can go over. ”
A trace of comfort rose on the old man's kind face, as long as Lin Xiu was still alive, then his Lin family would have a glimmer of hope, after all, the pill was still in his hand.
"Well, Third Elder, I'll go see my parents first. Saying goodbye to the three elders, Lin Xiu walked quickly to the cell next door with a hint of anticipation, this cell was extremely empty, and there were only two figures in the huge cell. At the moment, they are snuggling tightly together, lying in the corner.
And when Lin Xiu saw these two figures, the tears in the corners of his eyes were like a flood bursting the embankment, and tears were like rain. How many times in his sleep he dreamed of this situation, and when this moment really came, he realized how pale his words were.
"Dad, mother!" Lin Xiu knelt on his knees and shouted with tears in his eyes.
Lin Yan and his wife, who heard the sound, subconsciously woke up, and when they opened their eyes, they saw a teenager.
"You'er, is that you?" asked Lin Xiu's mother with a trembling voice, her thin body suddenly got up and ran towards the prison door. Lin Yan behind him also followed.
"Daddy, it's a child, how are you?" Lin Xiu wiped away a handful of tears and asked with a smile.
"Child, let my mother see, they have grown so big. Mother Lin's somewhat rough hands slowly caressed Lin Xiu's face, reluctant to leave.
"Why, how did you get here? Lin Yan, who was behind Mother Lin, looked at Lin Xiu with a worried face and said in a deep voice. But the tremor in his voice could not hide it.
"Dad, don't worry, the child wasn't caught here!" Lin Xiu looked at Lin Yan, who was still serious, and explained.
Hearing this, Lin Yan's nervous eyes slowed down slightly.
"Daddy, how have you been doing in the past eight years?have they abused you, and what about the rest of the clan?" Lin Xiu, who didn't know the situation, asked one after another.
Saying that, Lin Yan's eyes were gloomy for a while, and watching the clansmen die, his heart as a patriarch was very uncomfortable.
"Dad, don't worry, the child will save you as soon as possible. Lin Xiu said with a heavy promise.
"Well, we all believe in you!" In this way, Lin Xiu stayed with his parents and clansmen in this dark prison, and all the pills in his hands were given to the clansmen, which was the only thing he could do at present. After the clansmen knew that Lin Xiu was coming, they were all excited. After all, after eight years in prison, I suddenly saw hope, and the joy in my heart was overwhelming.
As time passed, Lin Xiu and his clansmen enjoyed themselves in prison, and Lin Xiu was also immersed in this feeling and couldn't extricate himself.
Maybe it's a month, or maybe a year, Lin Xiu, who was in prison, suddenly remembered Concubine Yun, that beautiful woman, and a trace of awkwardness rose in his heart, as if the realm in front of him was illusory.
"No, it's a trap! But the scene in front of you, how can there be a false appearance?" For some reason, Lin Xiu was very frightened in his heart, he was afraid to leave here, but he knew that he had to leave here, and his heart was extremely entangled for a while.
After being silent for a long time, Lin Xiu's hesitant eyes regained their determined look.
"I want to go back, live here, then I can't save my father and mother and the clansmen from the land, whether the scene at this time is true or not, I must leave, this is my responsibility!" Just when Lin Xiu was firm in his heart, a pillar of light suddenly appeared in the pitch-black prison, wrapped Lin Xiu in it, flickered for a while, and then disappeared.
"Father, mother, when the child comes again, it will be the day you get out of trouble. Lin Xiu, in the white light, clenched his fists tightly and promised heavily.
The dazzling light made Lin Xiu subconsciously close his eyes, and when Lin Xiu opened his eyes again, he had already returned to the original space.
"Concubine Yun!" Looking at Concubine Yun with an anxious look on her face, Lin Xiu's heart seemed to have a warm current passing through.
"Lin Xiu, you have nothing to do in the illusion!" Although she saw that Lin Xiu was not injured, Concubine Yun was still very worried, this illusion had a great impact on people's minds, and if you were not careful, it would leave serious sequelae.
"I didn't... Lin Xiu shrugged, but before he could finish his sentence, he was swallowed by a burst of red light.
