Chapter 388: Behind Bars

It was supposed to be a happy event, but it turned into a funeral.

Gu Shenglin left lonely with Gu Wanting's corpse, while Yin Nianhong was still surrounded by the marshals. He was extremely remorseful in his heart, and he planned to pass on the Night Dance Youchang Mirror as a family heirloom, but unfortunately he gave it to Yin Liping too early.

"Get out of the way. A calm voice sounded behind the marshals.

When everyone looked back, they immediately lined up respectfully to the left and right, and bowed together. Hualin Dajun Shang Xingjie, it turned out that he really came.

"Young Master Yin, mourn. I don't know if I can take a look at it through the Youchang Mirror?" Shang Xingjie's tone was very kind.

"Yes, of course. Yin Liping hurriedly put the Youchang Mirror with both hands. Yin Nianhong watched from the sidelines, and felt a pain in his heart, after the treasure mirror was sent, I was afraid that he would never be able to get it back.

Shang Xingjie took the Youchang Mirror, carefully held it in his palm, and swept his gaze over the mirror little by little, even letting go of the fine lines in every place. After looking at the front and then at the back, in the end, he sighed: "It is worthy of being called the 'Northern Spirit Bird', it is really exquisite." ”

Yun Ping stepped forward: "My lord, it is rumored in the rivers and lakes that this thing is in the hands of the Demon Hidden Emperor, but I don't want to appear here." ”

"Well, I don't need you to remind you. Shang Xingjie waved his hand, "It's a rumor, how credible is it? Even if it was originally in the hands of the Emperor Yinhou, by chance, it should be a matter worth celebrating for transferring from the demon clan to my immortal clan." There's no need to delve into the process of tossing and turning, right?"

Yun Ping was stunned, and arched his hand: "What the adults said is very true. ”

"Warden Yin, I'll discuss something with you. Shang Xingjie turned to Yin Nianhong.

Yin Nianhong thought in his heart: "It's time to come." "Your Excellency, just as I commanded. He said.

"This Night Dance Youchang Mirror ......" Shang Xingjie smiled slightly, "After a while, can you lend it to me?"

Borrow?

Several marshals looked at each other.

Yin Nianhong only thought that Shang Xingjie was "famous", and hurriedly said: "It should be dedicated to adults." ”

Shang Xingjie stroked his beard and laughed: "This treasure is already from the Yin family, if I forcibly occupy it for no reason, how can I take it for granted? I just borrowed it for prevention, and after three years, it will definitely be returned to the Yin family, and everyone present here can testify to it." ”

Yin Nianhong was greatly moved, since Shang Xingjie promised so, the night dance Youchang Mirror was still his Yin family's thing after all, and the greed of the marshals was also dispelled. "Don't say three years, it's okay to take thirty years or three hundred years! Ping'er, quickly release the Youchang Mirror and hand it over to the Maharaja!"

"Okay!" Yin Liping was also very happy, but it was only three years, what was it in his long career of cultivating immortals?

"No hurry, no hurry, when the time comes, I will come to the door to pick it up. Shang Xingjie said.

Huang Xuanshang stabbed Liang Feilian and whispered, "My lord, this is preparing for the trip to the Burning Heaven Palace." ”

Liang Feilian said with a smile: "With the Youchang Mirror Protector, the probability of success in capturing the treasure will be greatly increased." Only 'borrowing' instead of 'asking', but also showing the demeanor of adults, wonderful!"

Thinking that he could go to the Burning Sky Palace with the Night Dance Youchang Mirror, Shang Xingjie could be said to be satisfied. He added: "Originally, I just wanted to come to see the marriage of Warden Yin's family, and by the way, I threw a congratulatory gift, but I didn't want something to happen, and I accidentally borrowed the Youchang Mirror. In this way, in a few days, I will allocate some more money and immortal cultivation items, which is not only a thank you to Prison Director Yin, but also a comfort to the bereaved daughter-in-law. ”

"Ah, thank you, sir!" Yin Nianhong almost knelt down and kowtowed.

"Don't rush to thank you just yet. Shang Xingjie put on a straight face again at this time, and asked sternly, "What Miss Gu said just now is true?"

"Yes...... It's me who was confused for a moment. Yin Liping honestly admitted that he didn't dare to lie in front of the Hualin Lord, and said in his heart that this Hualin Maharaja was really moody.

"It was a last resort, and it was really not considered. Yin Nianhong was afraid that his only son would suffer, so he hurriedly took responsibility for himself.

Shang Xingjie sneered: "A girl in other people, can you be 'last resort'? Marriage and double cultivation are already a matter of mutual pleasure, but your family has a 'overlord hard bow' family to obey, it is too bad, not to mention that it is the daughter of the city lord Gu who is humiliated." She is ashamed of herself, and the Yin family is the culprit. Well, this is here, the other is the other, the reward is rewarded, and the punishment is punished. If you indulge in evil, you will be punished to give up your position as the warden of the Heavenly Prison within a month. Ling Lang is morally corrupt, bullying others, and has a bad influence, so he will be punished to go to the border of the demon clan to open mines for a hundred years, and he will be executed immediately!"

As soon as the penalty order came out, the father and son of the Yin family, who were overjoyed just now, stood on the spot.

The crowd downstairs cheered loudly, and Lord Hualin had clear rewards and punishments in this matter, and he handled it very convincingly.

Yin Nianhong said tremblingly: "Big, my lord, it's this in-law set by the Gu and Gu families and my family, although the dog made a mistake for a while and did something that shouldn't be done, but we have already held a wedding immediately to make up for it, is this punishment too heavy?"

"Is it very heavy? If Miss Gu successfully marries into your family today, then that's it. But she is a strong woman, and she is ashamed and angry in front of so many people, and this matter is bound to spread immediately. In addition, your Yin and Gu families are already powerful families, and such ugly things broke out during my jurisdiction, which insulted the reputation of my immortal clan, if I don't punish him more heavily, where will I put the face of Lord Hualin?"

Yin Nianhong was in tears, almost collapsed, and had to accept his fate. In fact, punishing Yin Liping to mine for a hundred years is a trivial matter, but it is just a matter of suffering. Losing the position of Warden of the Heavenly Prison is the heaviest loss. The Yin family's current status is all raised by that position.

I am afraid that no one knows about it. It was a huge prison built by the first lords a long, long time ago, to imprison some difficult enemies of the Immortals who could not be killed or did not want to kill. Jurisdiction with Ascension Zone I

In this way, the Heavenly Prison is controlled by the five great monarchs of the Immortal Clan in turn. The position of Warden is also the same as that of the Lord of the Ascension District, and the system is hereditary. Whichever Maharaja is in charge of the Ascension Zone and the Heavenly Prison, Yin Nianhong has to obey his orders, so the Maharaja Hualin has every right to remove him.

But those who are thriving in the Yuyu realm will inevitably erect some enemies. The prison is impregnable, and as long as you enter it, you don't want to escape. Therefore, the position of warden not only increased the power of the Yin family, but also brought a lot of benefits, both bright and covert.

Now that the position of warden, which the ancestors had fought so hard for, flew away from Yin Nianhong so lightly, how could he accept it?

Yin Nianhong set his sights for help on Marshal Zheng Fenglong, who had a close personal relationship.

Zheng Fenglong thought for a while, prepared a word of excuse, and arched his hand: "My lord, the Yin family has been in charge of the Hun Tian Prison for many years, and there is no fault, so it is easy to be dismissed for this reason, is it too much? Not to mention that although the behavior is evil, the Gu family itself has not said anything, if it can get married, it is still a good thing, but the Miss Gu family chose to commit suicide by herself, and the fault cannot be all counted on the Yin family......

Shang Xingjie gave him a blank look: "'Can't all be counted on the head of the Yin family'?" Then you mean that Miss Gu is also at fault, right? I want to ask you, is she at fault for being tainted and innocent, or is it wrong for chastity and strength?"

Zheng Fenglong was speechless.

"Hmph! Shang Xingjie flicked his sleeves and was very dissatisfied with someone forcibly saying it for the Yin family.

Zheng Fenglong could only retreat to the side in a gloomy manner.

Liang Feilian asked: "My lord, the prison cannot be left unattended, and our marshals are busy with affairs, what should we do?"

"I've thought about this. The Gu family lost their daughter, and the position of warden was temporarily handed over to the Gu City Lord. ”

Yun Pingfei stood up at this time and said, "My lord, I also think that this punishment is inappropriate. I'm not from the same Yin family, it's just that the work of the two positions of Luoxia City Lord and Huntian Prison Warden is not easy, especially the Warden, Hun Tian Prison is imprisoned by some fierce guys, and Gu City Lord may not be able to do it. In addition, there are three city lords in the Ascension District, and if the city lord Gu is allowed to take the position of warden at the same time, it is difficult to guarantee that the other two city lords will not have an opinion. ”

"That's why I said, 'For the time being, I'll leave it to City Lord Gu to take over'. There will be no change in this term, and a new warden will be elected when the next Maharaja takes over. Okay, I've made up my mind, don't talk about it again. ”

"Yes!" replied the marshals in unison.

The period of Hualin Maharaja's takeover of the Ascension Zone and the Heavenly Prison had only just begun, and it would be four hundred years before the next round of succession was obtained. The marshals all knew in their hearts that the Gu family was going to develop now, and today's events could be regarded as a blessing in disguise.

After the guards took away the Yin family's father and son, who were almost fainting, only the Lord of Hualin and the five marshals were left on the roof of the "Nine Heavens".

Shang Xingjie looked around and asked, "I heard that the Yin family also sent an invitation to Marshal Bi on Emperor Lingwei's side, why didn't anyone come?"

"It's better if I don't come, I don't want to see those people's faces. Liang Feilian said, "I guess they are busy with the matter of the Burning Sky Slate, right?"

Shang Xingjie said with a smile: "What's there to do with a mere guide map? Zhu Tianqiyao is the most important thing." Now you're all here, and no one is coming up here, I have something to say. Chu Fanghua's whereabouts have already been settled, let's plan well, and after a few months, all of them will go deep into the realm of the demon clan, kill Chu Fanghua, and capture the prison soldier. ”

"A few months later, wouldn't Chu Fanghua have slipped to the ends of the earth earlier?" Zhu Wenying was puzzled.

"Hmph, we haven't found her for so many years, it turns out that she hid back in Jiangyoujie after separating from Chang Zhanyi, and she didn't come out to do anything until recently. As long as we don't startle the snake, she won't move easily. After all, when I went to Jiang Youjie, I had to wade through the Demon Clan's Chixi Domain, Lingwei Domain, and Han Pivot Domain, and I had deliberately set aside them for the past few months to use under the guise of the three emperors. The matter of killing people and seizing treasures should be secretive, fast, and simple, once suspicion is aroused, I am afraid that after fighting with Chu Fanghua, others will take advantage of the fisherman. Shang Xingjie stroked his beard and squinted.

"Your Excellency is wise. ”

......

Let's talk about He Tianyao. The Yin family has suffered such a big blow, and they don't have the time to spend any time on him. Besides, it was Gu Shenglin who coveted the "One Qi and Three Yuan" method, and the purpose of the Yin family was just Gu Wanting. So when the guards came to ask how to deal with He Tianyao, Yin Nianhong just yelled impatiently: "Put him in prison!"

Before the affairs of Hun Tian Prison were handed over, Yin Nianhong was still the warden, and naturally related to people's power. So, He Tianyao, who was in a daze because of the loss of people, was taken to Hun Tian Prison in a daze.

Hun Tian Prison is located at the junction of the three domains of the Immortal Clan, Jinmen, Mixed Yuan, and Yu Jue, and there is still some distance from the Luoxia District. At first, there were only two guards who escorted He Tianyao on the road, but He Tianyao's heart was like ashes, and he didn't think about running away at all. After Gu Shenglin learned the news, he immediately transferred the master, and personally went out to catch up with He Tianyao half a year later. First, Gu Shenglin was worried that someone would rob the prisoner along the road, and it would be safer for him to lead the team to escort him; second, he could also go to the Hun Tian Prison to familiarize himself with it and take it over.

Gu Shenglin, who lost his daughter, was silent a lot. He didn't pass on the bad news to Gu Wanxing, who was far away, but he knew that paper couldn't contain the fire after all, and he didn't know what kind of reaction Gu Wanxing, who was close to Gu Wanting's brother and sister, would have after knowing the whole thing. Gu Shenglin, who was preoccupied, seemed to have aged a lot overnight, and he didn't mention the "One Qi Three Yuan" method again along the way.

The prison is located in a mountainous area with only one path from the periphery. Only by following the winding path to the mountains can you see the full extent of the prison.

It's not the first time Gu Shenglin has come. But every time he came, he would

I was struck by the magnificence of the Heavenly Prison, which was built from an entire mountain.

The mountain is slightly shorter than the surrounding mountains and is said to have had its spire cut off. The steep slope is carved into terraced rice fields, and a small window is opened in the vertical wall. The prison can only be accessed through the only gate at the foot of the mountain, and all cells and climbable stairs are built inside the mountain. It can be said that the Heavenly Prison is equivalent to hollowing out a mountain.

The order of the Lord of Hualin had arrived, and when he saw Gu Shenglin coming, the jailers guarding the door lined up to greet him and saluted in unison. Gu Shenglin was also very polite to them. Because these jailers, although they don't seem to have a high status, in terms of strength, they are all first-class masters.

Anyone with some seniority in the immortal army knew that the Hun Tian Prison Guard's salary was terrifyingly high, with an average salary of more than ten times that of the rest of the camp. However, the people who can come here to serve must at least reach the five element level. The Five Elements level is one level higher than the strength standard of an ordinary camp leader, and the warden is only a level. The main reason why the strength of the guards is set so high is that there are many terrible people in the prison, and they must not be allowed to escape. This is also the original intention of the original site selection and construction of the Heavenly Prison.

It is rumored that at the bottom of the Heavenly Prison, there are even seven-star and gossip-level masters.

A gossip-level master, that is enough to rival the emperor and the king.

A primary-level cultivator like He Tianyao doesn't have to be imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison under normal circumstances. Kill chickens with a knife?

However, Gu Shenglin has his own considerations. He Tianyao is not an ordinary cultivator, but an ascender in the Nether Realm, and there are seniors in the Yuyu Realm. Judging from the pattern of the world, being imprisoned in the mansion at will may cause trouble. What's more, the powerful demon clan that suddenly appeared to stir up the situation that night has always made him feel uneasy. Because he knew that if the demon clan used all his strength, he would not be an opponent at all. This also strengthened his determination to put He Tianyao in the Heavenly Prison.

There are 50 floors above ground level, with a total of 10,600 cells. How many layers there are below the ground level is not clear to outsiders. After He Tianyao was taken into prison, he was locked in a cell on the third floor. He still hasn't come out of the shadow of Gu Wanting's suicide. After being pushed into the cell, he sat down on the ground against the corner of the wall, staring blankly at the sky outside the small window.

The moon rises, the moon rises. Day after day passed, and He Tianyao always maintained that depressed posture, not moving. Gu Shenglin estimated that he should be busy with the new official affairs and Gu Wanting's future affairs, and he never showed up. The guards patrolling the cloister outside the cell rotated every other month, and every jailer who passed through this cell for the first time couldn't help but look inside, wondering what it was that a junior immortal cultivator had done to be locked up in such a place.

Three months later, Gu Shenglin sent someone to bring cruel words: "If you don't hand over the "One Qi and Three Yuan" method, you are ready to stay in prison for the rest of your life!"

After listening to the news, He Tianyao didn't even bother to hum. Losing Gu Wanting makes little difference if she is not in prison at all.

Every time he recalls the short-lived happiness between the two, He Tianyao will wash his face with tears. Sometimes he is even in a trance, feeling that everything miserable does not seem to be true, Gu Wanting is still alive, and he still lives in the small pavilion of Qingyun Mountain and plays with Xiao Ke. But when he regained his senses, his heart became heavier. The consciousness alternates between half-dreaming and half-waking, the state of mind is reincarnated between half-joy and half-sadness, and the spirit sinks between half-truth and half-falsehood.

Time passes day by day, cold and summer, and it seems that the child will continue to repeat it so monotonously and meaninglessly for a long time. Until that day, a new jailer was rotated.

"Hey!" the jailer shouted into the cell.

He Tianyao's heart moved, he had heard this voice before.

Since being imprisoned, for the first time, He Tianyao looked at the prison door. But the jailer wore a cape and could not see his face clearly.

"Are you ......" He Tianyao hesitated.

"We met once on the night you eloped with that girl, have you forgotten?" the man took off his hat.

"It turned out to be the master of boring. I haven't been able to thank you in person, please forgive me. He Tianyao said.

"So far, what do you say about thanking you or not...... I'm also at fault for this, I originally thought that if I entangled Gu Shenglin long enough, you would be able to escape smoothly, so then I left Luoxia District with peace of mind, but I didn't expect you to be caught by others again, and you ended up so miserable, alas, ......" The jailer sighed regretfully.

"Fate is not good, and creation makes people. I am grateful that Your Excellency can help, so why is it wrong?"

"I'll get you out. The jailer whispered.

He Tianyao shook his head: "No need. Let me out, and you will not escape the blame. ”

The jailer said, "Since you know that my weapon is called 'boring', you must also understand that I am a demon clan." Think about it, will the prison established by the immortal clan let a demon clan be guarded?"

He Tianyao has been mentally slow since these days, no wonder he didn't expect such a simple point. "And how did you get into prison?"

"Our demon clan has its own demon clan's methods. I have a way to get into prison, and I have a way to get you out. "The master said.

"No, it still doesn't work. He Tianyao cheered up, "The Hun Tian Prison is unbreakable, even if you break the prison door, you won't be able to break through the encirclement." ”

The master comforted him: "I definitely can't do it alone." I'll get help. It's just that you don't have to be anxious, I'm afraid it will take some time to get you out. ”

"This ......" He Tianyao really didn't want to let the master take risks, "The jailers in the Hun Tian Prison are all top masters, I ...... It's not worth your desperate rescue. ”

The master laughed, "It's worth it! ”
