Chapter 718: Hell (Part I)
For many reasons, Chen Changsheng must kill Zhou Tong, one of the most important of which is that the change in Tianshuling itself began when he killed Zhou Tong last time.
That time he walked into this courtyard, it was the beginning of historical transformation, the source of all life and death, now that the Holy Queen of Tianhai is dead, many people have died, and the river of history has turned a big bend, but Zhou Tong is still alive and well, and even may live better than before, no matter how he thinks about it, he feels that he should finish this matter.
Although until now, he didn't know where Zhou Tong was.
At this moment, Xiao De and he looked down at the remnants of snow on the courtyard floor at the same time.
The snow was moving very slightly, as if there was a faint tremor coming from the depths of the earth.
Several officials of the Qing Officials Division glanced at each other, their faces were full of surprise, their eyes quickly became resolute, they clenched the sword in their hands, and looked at Chen Changsheng.
Chen Changsheng didn't look at them, just stared at the snow on the ground.
Suddenly, more than ten sword lights illuminated the courtyard and slashed towards the ground.
The remnants of the snow danced wildly, the sword intent was fierce, the bluestone floor shattered, the black dirt splashed up, and in just a moment, a half-foot pit was dug out of the ground of the courtyard.
The officials of the Qing Officials Division were furious, and they all used their most powerful sword moves, trying to force Chen Changsheng to stop his current behavior.
Xiao De vaguely guessed something, his eyes were fierce, his fists were like mountains, and he smashed towards the hundreds of swords in the snowy sky.
......
......
There used to be a begonia tree in this courtyard, which was destroyed by Chen Changsheng, and then a new begonia tree was moved, which was almost exactly the same as the original one, even the officials of the Qing Officials Division who were cold-blooded and ruthless and had no interest in beautiful things were quite surprised by this, of course, this begonia tree was also destroyed now, and it was also destroyed by Chen Changsheng.
In order to find this identical begonia tree, the Qing officials and the Yamen took a lot of effort, and after waiting for a while, the dug tree pit on the ground near the courtyard wall was also vacant for a long time, and even became a small pond on a night when the autumn rain fell, but before the early morning came, the water sank into the soil and disappeared without a trace.
The Qing Officials Si Yamen is in the North Terracotta Hutong, which is what people call Zhou Prison, but few people know that the real Zhou Prison is actually in the dark ground of the tree pit 17 zhang down, consisting of five prison cells, the stone walls are surrounded by rammed earth and gravel with countless edges and corners, and countless formations to protect it.
This place is deep underground, covered by many formations, very secretive, and no outsiders have ever entered. This place is very strong, whether it is the ten thousand swords like rainbows and violent sword intent when Chen Changsheng first killed Zhou Prison, or the sword intent on the ground at this time, it has not caused any impact here, not even a trace of fluctuation.
In the deepest cell, the dim bean-like light was steady, illuminating the small table in the room.
On the small table, there is a plate of peanuts, two pots of wine, and two pairs of chopsticks.
The middle-aged man sitting in the east was very burly, although the prison uniform was full of blackened blood stains, his hair was messily shawl, and he even had a broken arm, but he still couldn't hide the heroic and heroic spirit, it was the Xue He god general who was only arrested and returned to Beijing a few days ago. The middle-aged man sitting opposite him, not wearing an official uniform, wearing an ordinary cloth shirt, with a thin body, deep-set cheeks, a pale face, and deep eyes, looked like a ghost.
Many people have died in Zhou Prison, but I don't know if there are ghosts, even if there are, they must have been tortured by this person and reincarnated early.
He is the master of Zhou Prison, and here, even the ghosts are afraid of him.
The amazing sword pierced him on the Taishi's chair earlier, only piercing the red official robe. From that moment on, both Chen Changsheng and others were speculating about where he had hid, many people thought that he had hid in the palace, and some even thought that he had escaped from Kyoto in fear.
No one expected that he would still stay here, between this courtyard, but deep underground.
In other words, there has always been a distance of only seventeen zhang between him and Chen Changsheng.
He didn't care about this, calmly eating peanuts and drinking wine, as if no matter how fierce the sword rain on the ground was, it had nothing to do with him.
"You're scared. Xue He looked into his eyes and said.
He is a very famous god general in Da Zhou, because he is Xue Xingchuan's younger brother, but this does not mean that he is incapable. On the battlefield in the north, he led the soldiers and the wolf riders of the demon clan to fight for decades, and he has a deep understanding of life and death, fear, and other things.
When people are most afraid, they tend to stick to the places they know best, even if the choice is not wise. Zhou Tong did not go to the palace, but stayed here, and in hindsight, in the eyes of some people, they might be amazed by his calmness and resourcefulness, but in Xue He's opinion, this can only show that he is afraid.
Zhou Prison, deep underground, is the place that Zhou Tong is most familiar with, he has killed too many people, demons, and demons here, and tortured too many people, demons, and demons.
Zhou Tong didn't go to the palace because of the warning in his heart, and his distrust of the saint, but he wouldn't explain it to Xue He, who was his prisoner and had no qualifications for him to explain, and he didn't want anyone to know that his loyalty to that saint was not as strong as people thought.
The cell deep in the ground is too wet and dark, and it is impossible for people to feel too comfortable, even if it is Zhou Tong himself, the cell where Xue He is located is relatively the driest one, and the stone wall above will only fall a drop of water every long time, and it will not fall on the table and the bed covered with straw.
Of course, this can be regarded as preferential treatment, although the golden thorns on Xue He's body that are used to prohibit the exercises were pierced into them by Zhou Tong himself.
"Don't try to provoke me. Zhou Tong said calmly: "I won't kill you, after all, he said that we are also brothers." ”
Zhou Tong and Xue Xingchuan are brothers, and Xue Xingchuan and Xue He are also brothers.
Only the three brothers and Mrs. Xue knew about it.
In the past few years, Xue Xingchuan has always hoped that Xue He and Zhou Tong can also become real brothers.
Xue He didn't like Zhou Tong, but he didn't say anything.
At the moment when he knew that his eldest brother was poisoned by Zhou Tong himself, he was extremely sad and angry, but he was still calm, because he had never regarded Zhou Tong as his brother, and he knew that Zhou Tong was such a person, after hearing this sentence at this moment, he finally couldn't control his emotions, and spit out a mouthful of bloody thick phlegm.
Zhou Tong turned around to avoid it, but did not turn back.
He maintained this posture and looked out at a stone wall in the southwest corner of the cell.
He could feel a very slight but clear tremor from the depths of the stone wall.
Someone touched the formation.
