Trapped Beast Chapter 332: The Man Who Sits in the Well
This lonely and secluded courtyard is located in a place that no one cares about in the depths of the Ying Cang sect.
From the outside, it looks like an ordinary courtyard. It's just that the courtyard door is closed, and there are many cobwebs between the beams and columns on the lintel.
The strange thing is that when I pushed the door and went in, I found that there was no house or house, and there were walls on all sides. In the huge courtyard, there are rows of wells one after another.
"What the hell is this place. Su Yi had never seen such a strange place, and frowned, "Are you sure Pei Yi is here?"
"Can't be wrong. Zhou Xian patted his chest and said, "I asked someone to inquire, and this is the place they pointed out." ”
"Inquire?" Su Yi glanced at him, naturally not believing that this matter would be so easy to inquire about, so he said again: "Moss, you come on." ”
"When we were looking for someone, we were discovered," Moss replied truthfully, "and it was the man who told us." ”
Su Yi resisted the urge to slap Zhou Xian's two mouths, gritted his teeth and said, "I said Brother Zhou, how many years have you been walking the rivers and lakes, can you believe this kind of thing?"
"But I don't think that person is a liar, let's go in and find out..."Zhou Xian said with a haha, "Besides, that person... Claiming to know you. ”
"Who knows me?" said Su Yi in amazement.
"It's me. At this moment, a woman came out of the courtyard and said.
However, before she could take two steps, she noticed a cold sword across her neck.
"Zhou Ying. Su Yi said indifferently.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Yingwan smiled and said, "Senior Brother Su doesn't believe me as a senior sister?"
"I'm ashamed to say that I may not be worthy of being with you. Su Yi sneered.
Zhou Ying sighed, and said abruptly: "You stole the phoenix fruit, right?"
Seeing Su Yi's expressionless face, she continued: "Although I have no evidence, I can roughly guess that it is related to you, but I have never mentioned it to the elders in the sect. Otherwise, even if Uncle Shi can't capture you back, it will add a lot of trouble to you. And when the name of your 'No. 1 Fierce God' came to Qingzhou, I was even more sure that the person who stole the phoenix fruit was you. ”
"With your current strength, no one can keep you unless the head of the sect personally takes action. What else is there to worry about? When you become the 'first fierce god', why do you become timid?"
"Don't mention those four words again. Su Yi withdrew his long sword and said coldly, "It is precisely because the name does not live up to the truth that you have to be careful." ”
"Lead the way. ”
Zhou Ying glanced at him deeply, and then led the three of them to walk left and right between the wells. After a few moments, he stopped by one of the wells and said, "This is it." ”
"Pei Yi is here?" Su Yi looked towards the bottom of the well, but it was pitch black and difficult to see.
He subconsciously felt that if he was tricked into the well, someone would immediately attack him from above and trap him to death.
"This is the most severe punishment in the Ying Cang sect, which is called 'the punishment of sitting in the well'. The condemned person can only sit in the well all day long, looking at the world at the mouth of the well. The sentence is indefinite, longer or shorter. Not knowing when you will be able to get out of the well is the hardest part. Almost all those who were tortured were turned into bones in the well. Zhou Ying explained.
"Originally, only those old-timers who had committed big things were eligible to 'enjoy', but now it is used on a young man like Pei Yi, and he is very worthy of him. ”
"Pei..."
Su Yi was about to shout at the wellhead, but was stopped by Zhou Ying and said: "He is very weak now, you are shouting like this, I am afraid that you will scare him to death on the spot." ”
"Then you jump down first. Su Yi tilted his head at the wellhead and said.
"It's hard to be a good person. Zhou Ying sighed and said, "I brought you in to find someone behind my back, and you were suspicious." and the fierce, calling people back and forth. ”
Su Yi said helplessly: "Then Senior Sister Lao will lead the way, can you?"
Zhou Ying was satisfied, jumped down, and landed gently at the bottom of the well. Su Yi ordered Zhou Xian and the two to stay at the mouth of the well, and they followed. After getting used to the darkness, I saw a thin man sitting in the corner, his eyes glazed over, and he didn't even notice that there were two more people at the bottom of the well.
With Zhou Ying's reminder, Su Yi didn't act rashly this time, and when she filled the pottery bowl in front of Pei Yi with some dry food and water, she asked softly, "Have you used the medicine?"
He only said that Pei Yi's appearance was caused by the power of medicine, but he didn't want Zhou Ying to shake his head and said: "Why do you need to use medicine, he is like this now, it is difficult to even stand up, let alone climb out of this well." ”
Su Yi cautiously reached out and grabbed Pei Yi's wrist. The hand he grabbed trembled slightly, and after a slight pause, he continued to slowly send dry food into his mouth, as if Su Yi did not exist.
"The internal forces are almost useless. Su Yi let go of his hand and said, "You did it?"
"He did it himself. ”
"Why?" Su Yi frowned.
Zhou Ying was silent for a moment, as if he was hesitating about something, and then said, "After you leave, Uncle Shi will send someone to look for you, but he doesn't want to go." Declaring war on the three major factions, he refused to go. All in all, he was against his master at every turn. Before the slaughter of the three major factions, he even contradicted the head of the sect, bluntly saying that the head of the sect was a cruel and murderous person. He was willing to abandon his martial arts and betray his master, rather than participate in the war. At last... It's what it looks like now. ”
Pei Yi ate very slowly, and Su Yi listened silently, while patiently watching his lifeless movements.
"Since it is a judgment of the teacher, it should be gone, why do you stay here and be punished?"
"Do you really want to listen?"
"Why don't you listen?" Su Yi wondered, "If it's inconvenient to speak, forget it." ”
"Of course it's convenient. Zhou Ying continued, "Pei Yi's cultivation has been advancing by leaps and bounds for a period of time, and the master saw that it was related to the ancestral ancestral hall, so he asked him the reason. Naturally, he was tight-lipped. If there is no betrayal of the teacher, he can't ask, so he will go. But he was leaving the Ying Cang Sect, how could Uncle Shi let him go with the secret. In addition, although he has a tight mouth, his ability to hide secrets is not at all clever, and anyone can see that he must know something. ”
"As for the ancestral hall, only the two of you and your cousin have entered it in recent years. Cousin... Needless to mention, Pei Yi's qualifications are best understood, only you... Anyway, he wouldn't say whether he was alive or dead. Uncle Shi can only drive him into the bottom of this well, when he is willing to speak, when he will let him out. ”
"Brainless..."Su Yi said, "What kind of secret is this, just say it..."
"You say, can he still live?" Zhou Ying asked.
"I'm not a doctor, how do I know. Su Yi laughed at himself and said.
"Then, you still want to save him?"
"Save, of course. Su Yi said resolutely, "I not only want to save him, but I also want to take him away." ”
Zhou Ying didn't dare to agree, and frowned: "What if he has lost his mind?"
"A person who has no heart, if you rescue him, maybe you will harm him instead. It's better to let him stay here, and end the rest of his life like this, with less pain. ”
"You have a point. Su Yi agreed, but did not change his mind easily, faced Pei Yi, looked directly into his eyes, held his hands for food, and called softly: "Brother Pei, it's me." ”
The dry food fell from his hand to the ground with a crunching sound.
After a long time, Pei Yi seemed to realize that there was a human face in front of him, and his sloppy gaze began to regain his brilliance. Trying his best to recognize the comer, his chapped lips trembled slightly, and he said very unskillfully, "You are... Su Yi. ”
"It's me. ”
Pei Yi seemed to want to laugh, but he forgot how to laugh, his cheeks twitched slightly, and said, "I thought I would never see you again." ”
"Alright, I'm here to take you out. ”
"Get out..."
Hearing these two words, Pei Yi's eyes became very confused. I don't know when he gave up the idea of seeing the light of day again.
"Forget it..."
The once wooden but bold young man is gone, replaced by a desperate man who has long since died in his heart.
And Pei Yi in the past would not say such frustrating words, Su Yi said in his heart.
He slowly stood up and looked down at the young man who was sitting cross-legged on the ground and went to pick up food.
Zhou Ying only thought that he had given up, although he felt that he should be like this, and felt that he would not be like this with him, so he asked, "Don't take him away?"
Su Yi suddenly lifted Pei Yi up and said, "It doesn't matter if he wants to go or not, this time his fate, I will grasp it for him." ”
"This is what I owe him. ”
