Hearing that the old man said that this was just one of the twelve kinds of torture in the Sword Prison, and it was relatively ordinary, Fan Wu and the others really didn't know how to react, so they could only rejoice in their hearts that the two of them were just here to test.

"I'm afraid my soul power won't last long if it goes on like this, is there no other way to solve it?"

Although Fan Wu's ghost spear could interrupt the growth of the sword grass and temporarily gain a foothold, according to the current consumption, his soul power was not enough to support it until dawn.

"Yes, and it's very simple, just find a big stone to press the grass, the key is that there are no stones in the entire Sword Grassland, not even a small stone. ”

"It's that simple? Didn't you say it earlier? I have. ”

"Huh?"

"Brother Wu, do you have a stone belt on your body?"

Don't say that the old man thinks it's strange, the fat man thinks it's incredible, how can anyone have nothing to do with a big stone on his body?

In the strange and expectant eyes of the two of them, Fan Wu took out a half-human-tall stone statue from the ring, a gargoylum with half-open wings.

"Is that big enough?"

The stone statue is of course one of the five gargoyles in the ring, they were petrified and dormant due to too much loss of soul power before, and they have not yet recovered, and today they just let Fan Wu use it to suppress the sword grass.

"Brother Wu, you cow! There is actually a gargoyle hidden on your body. ”

After the fat man finished speaking, the old man also said excitedly:

"Yes, there is such a large stone that can definitely suppress the growth of the grass, but unfortunately the area is a little smaller, and it must not be able to stand up to three people, otherwise the little old man will be cheeky and will be stained. ”

"Oh, if you can, that's fine. ”

After speaking, Fan Wu took out another stone statue, and in the surprised eyes of the two of them, he took out a third stone statue.

"One by one, we sit and talk. ”

The two of them were not surprised this time, but looked at Fan Wu with more strange eyes than the first time, forget about one, he actually carried three stone statues with him, did he have a collector's habit?

Fan Wu ignored their reactions and jumped up and sat on the head of the gargoyle that was the first to take out.

"If you don't come up again, the sword grass will grow again. ”

The two of them hurriedly climbed up to the stone statues and sat on their heads like Fan Wu.

Sure enough, the grass under the stone statue did not continue to turn into a sword, and the three of them sat on the stone statue as steady as Mount Tai.

There was no danger to their lives for the time being, and Fan Wu and the fat man could finally rest assured and ask the old man about the specific situation here.

In order to thank Fan Wu's stone statue for exempting him from the pain of sword grass killing, the old man told the two of them everything he knew about the sword prison, in addition to his own personal experience, and even told them that he had heard about it.

The Knife Prison is the seventh of the eighteen layers of hell in folklore, and ghosts who have blasphemed the gods, killed animals, and been sentenced to the punishment of Youzeng enter the Knife Prison to be punished.

There are 12 types of torture, and the prefectural magistrate decides which punishment to be subjected to according to the magnitude of the crime committed during the lifetime.

When the old man first came in, the knife prison was very chaotic and disorderly, because at the beginning, it was a tendon management method.

Regardless of whether the convict who has been sentenced to one year or 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,0

Although it was eventually suppressed, it had a huge impact on the order of the knife prison, and it was not until 500 years ago that the Black Impermanence proposed a new punishment and redesigned the method of torture.

He suggested that prisoners had two options if they wanted to get out of prison.

The first is to determine the sentence, and according to the torture stipulated in the judgment, the sentence can be completed and released from prison normally;

The second is the pleasure sentence, in which each of the 12 types of torture is sentenced to more than 10 years, and can be released from prison early after all the executions are completed.

If the second type of nomadic punishment is chosen, even if the torture is not completed, the purpose of commutation can be achieved by increasing the types of punishment.

The rule is that the sentence is commuted by 10 times the time of the sentence starting with the second type of torture, and the sentence is reduced by 10 days for each day of torture.

In this way, the minds of those felons who have been sentenced for hundreds of millions of years can be diverted, and every day they think about how to reduce their sentences and get out of prison as soon as possible, and they have no intention of engaging in any confrontation.

If it goes well, you can get out of prison in 120 years at the earliest, but how can things be so simple, it seems that it can be calculated in this way, however, there are two biggest features of torture here.

The first point is that the feelings of every day are new, taking the Sword Grassland as an example, normally being killed dozens or hundreds of times in one night, some people will get used to it, some people will be numb, and it may not be so painful slowly.

But the Knife Prison will not allow this to happen, the last death before dawn will not wake up immediately, but a state of suspended animation, which will not wake up until tomorrow afternoon, and will completely forget the feeling of last night, that is, the pain will be fresh every night.

And there are more damning things, there are a lot of big trees distributed in the grassland to avoid the attack of the sword grass, people have hope will have fear, there are big trees to take refuge, of course you don't want to continue to be punished, as long as you join the ranks of competing for the big tree, it is equivalent to infinitely magnifying the pain of torture in your heart.

But there are few trees and many people, and the position of the big tree is random every day, so it is pointless to stick to one place, and you can't fight, as long as you fight the big tree, it will fall, and only the person who runs the fastest with hope can grab the position.

The second point is even more ruthless, if you want to reduce the sentence, starting from the second type of torture, the pain will be doubled, the third type will be tripled, and so on, the twelfth type is 12 times the pain, and I haven't heard of anyone who can bear it and get out of prison early.

The old man was sentenced to 1,200 years of sword and grass for blasphemy, and it has been nearly a thousand years since he was imprisoned.

After listening to the old man talk about the situation in the knife prison, Fan Wu and the others felt bad at all, this black impermanence is too ruthless, and these punishments designed really let people go from body to heart, from the inside to the outside.

The legendary Shangdao Mountain Oil Pot turned out to be just a simplified statement.,The actual punishment is much more perverted than this.,The two of them began to regret coming in a little bit.,I wanted to come in and kill ghosts to improve my strength.,But it doesn't seem to be too good to kill.。

It stands to reason that all of them are sinners, and if they are killed, they will be killed, but after learning about the perverted punishment here, I feel that they are already so pitiful, how can I bear to kill them.

"Old man, hasn't anyone escaped for so many years?" the fat man remembered that the path he came in was not too far from here, and wondered why they only talked about confrontation, and no one thought of escaping from prison.

"Escape? Of course, everyone escaped when they first came in, but there was no way out here, and all the way out of the grassland was a passage to other tortures, anyway, I had been in for a thousand years, and I had never heard of anyone succeeding in escaping. ”

"No, the way we came in is not far away, and we can go straight to the Lethe River. ”

"Hehe, as long as you stay overnight, you won't be able to find it, the sword grassland will change every day, as long as the overnight is completely different from yesterday, don't talk about the road, even the tree has to be re-founded, otherwise we don't have to run desperately, just keep the tree and don't come down." ”

"So that's the case, Brother Wu, let's ...... next"

After listening to what the old man said, the fat man looked at Fan Wu, who was silent on another stone statue, since the last time he saw his master, he who had decided to follow Fan Wu was now more and more obedient to Brother Wu.

"Xiucai, if you can't get out, don't be in a hurry now, tomorrow we don't want to find a way to go to other torture places to see, or continue to stay here to improve our strength, let's talk about it after dawn, you guys talk, I want to absorb yin qi to recover the consumption just now." ”

After speaking, he closed his eyes and entered the state of cultivation, and the fat man did not continue to disturb him, turned his head and continued to chat with the old man.

Fan Wu listened to the old man's introduction here, and also heard the conversation between him and the fat man later, and thought of a way to use this place to improve his strength, but whether it is useful or not will have to be discussed with the fat man tomorrow.

Now that there are outsiders present, it is inconvenient to disclose many ideas, and it is really a lot of consumption just now, and it needs to be replenished to implement tomorrow night's plan.

For the first time in a thousand years, the old man spent the night here in a relaxed state, and he hadn't talked to anyone else for too long, so he chatted with the fat man very well, and the time passed in the pleasant conversation between the two, and soon it was dawn.

A glimmer of morning light emerged from the horizon, the sun slowly rose at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the grassland in the distance was slowly dyed golden yellow, and the beautiful scenery made Fan Wu and them immerse themselves and revel.

The two of them were attracted by the beautiful sunrise, but they didn't notice that the moment the sun came out, the old man behind him disappeared, the corpse on the ground disappeared, and the big tree not far away also disappeared.

When the two of them looked back after admiring the sunrise, they found that everything had changed, and all they could see was grass, no trees, no people, no trace of last night, except for three stone statues that could prove that something had happened, as if nothing had happened.

Fortunately, they had been mentally prepared for this in the conversation with the old man last night, so the two of them were not surprised, but their awe of hell deepened, and they would no longer underestimate this place as they did when they first came in.

Unable to absorb yin qi during the day, although Fan Wu's soul power has not fully recovered, he can only suspend his cultivation, put away the stone statue, and the two of them are still walking and chatting as they did yesterday.

"Brother Wu, I know it's inconvenient for you to say it last night, have you thought of a way to improve?"

"The plan is yes, I want to ask you first, what conditions do you need to improve your mana, since you are willing to go to hell with me, is the yin qi also useful to you?"

"I'm a natural half-underworld body, and I can't directly absorb yin qi, but my soul power can, so I don't need to cultivate mana much from childhood to adulthood, just desperately kill ghosts and absorb souls. ”

"Aren't you born with yin and yang eyes? Half-underworld body? What is that?"

"The master said that I was born in a coffin, and when I was a congenital fetus, I absorbed the yin and underworld qi and became a semi-underworld body, which can be cultivated slowly, or I can directly absorb soul power to improve mana, but since I can directly improve, I am too lazy to cultivate. ”

"No wonder I've never seen you cultivate, so your ability to recover after a nap is also the reason for the half-underworld body?"

"Oh no, that's the other half of my physique. ”

"Do you have the other half of your physique?" Fan Wu had the urge to roll his eyes again.

"Of course, they all say that they are half-underworld, and there must be another half. ”

"And what kind of physique is the other half of you? demigod?"

"I don't know, the master didn't say it, he said that my strength is not enough, and he will tell me when I can beat him one day. ”

"Well, you win!"

"I haven't won yet!"

"Don't talk about this, there is another question, how much space is your Qiankun bag?"

"This... I don't have an idea, it's a valley. ”

"Well, I won't talk anymore!"

Thinking about his few square meters of ring space, Fan Wu has already planned not to ask any strange things that appear on the fat man in the future, people are more popular than people.

After asking about the fat man's ascension method and the capacity of the Qiankun bag, Fan Wu told him his thoughts on this place and the original plan for improving his strength, and adjusted it to the second version of the crazy plan according to the huge capacity of the Qiankun bag.

The fat man was so excited that he wished that the sun would go down immediately so that he could carry out the plan.

According to the plan, the two of them should first find a big tree, preferably two or three trees that are connected or not too far away, so as to maximize the effect when improving their strength.

It's a pity that after looking for a long time, the sun has already passed halfway, and I still haven't found the place I want the most, let alone three, not even two that grow relatively close, and there is only one big tree growing alone within a radius of a few hundred meters.

Seeing that the sun had already set a lot, the two of them had to choose a relatively large tree to settle down.

In the evening, I saw the grand scene of 10,000 people running again.

The two of them quickly climbed to the tree, each stood on a horizontal branch, and looked at the more than 1,000 people who ran towards this side after the divergence, and when they entered the 50-meter range, Fan Wu raised his hand and shot at them with an AK.

"Dada......"

Running the fastest, dozens of people in the innermost circle fell to the ground, such a change was very unexpected for others who had been accustomed to no fighting for hundreds of years, and after Fan Wu swept around and killed dozens of people again, soon all of them were forced to stop.

Seeing that they had all stopped, and finally it was the fat man's turn to appear, he cleared his throat and shouted:

"I opened this road, I planted this tree, if you want to climb this tree, leave it to buy the road money!

"Xiucai, don't talk nonsense!" Fan Wu had a black line on his face.

"Yes, Brother Wu, you all listen to me, I know that none of you want to be punished by the sword grass, we have a way to make all of you suffer less, whoever wants to have a better time tonight, just listen to my arrangement......"

Bala Bala Bala, the fat man told the crowd about the plans and requirements of the two, and their request was actually very simple, that is, to let the prisoners exchange their soul power for one night without being tortured,

It turned out that through last night's observation and the introduction of the old man, Fan Wu discovered a law in the Sword Grassland that was of great benefit to the two of them, that is, the people here were immortal.

Not only will they not die, but they will continue to absorb the power of the moon to resurrect, and if they can take advantage of this, the two of them can absorb infinite soul power without actually killing people.
