Chapter 25: The Heavenly Prison
The old man just said that it was only a matter of the past two days that he was not beheaded in the summer. If they don't hurry up, I'm afraid they won't even be able to see the last side of Summer. The Dao Master immediately made a decision and decided to finish the matter today, but just as he took out the scroll and was about to use the Folding Technique, Rong He grabbed his wrist and said with a somewhat solemn face: "Tianzun, tell me what you plan to do." We can't control too much about the affairs of the human court. ”
The Dao Chief turned his wrist, gently broke free of his hand, and opened his scroll by himself: "At least I have to go and see him and ask him if it was his own idea to throw Shen Qianqian off the cliff in the first place." He turned his head and looked at Rong He calmly: "I don't know how many things the two of us have managed, and if you count this one, it's not too much." ”
Rong He listened to his words, lowered his head and smiled, and sighed: "Okay, anyway, I've done enough bad things, and I'm not worried about breaking into the prison." ”
He felt that Tianzun had a strange attraction, and as long as he stayed with him, it seemed to be very reassuring to go anywhere. The Taoist unfolded the scroll and let Rong He drill into it, while he followed closely behind, waving his sleeve with his backhand and taking the scroll into his palm.
Compared with Jinling, the capital is more prosperous. It's just that the two of them didn't have time to appreciate the traffic, so they climbed over the wall all the way with the maze branch and touched the door of the prison. Not to mention the hardships along the way, they were almost discovered by others. This capital is too big, and when they finally touched the door of the prison, Rong You was already out of breath.
In fact, there are many ways for the two of them to enter this heavenly prison, as long as they recite a stealth trick, they can swagger in. But because of the fear that the immortals would make trouble in the world, at the beginning of heaven and earth, when Nuwa created people, a ban had been established, and the mana of the immortals in the world would inevitably have to be reduced, such as this stealth trick, which can no longer be used in the mortal world.
On this day, the guards at the prison were faithful and stood straight. But in the blink of an eye, two shadows flew by, making them think they were dazzled. The prison was a little eerie, and although the candlelight flickered on both sides, it was still thick darkness where the candles could not be touched. From time to time, a few screams came from the depths, accompanied by a faint smell of blood, slowly echoing in this place that symbolized majesty.
Rong He only felt cold, so he almost turned his tail out and hugged it so warmly. He whispered into the Daoist's ear and said, "A person like Xia Wu, who collaborates with the enemy and treason, shouldn't be locked up so close to the door. Based on my instinct from years of travel in the mortal world, it should be behind this door. ”
The Taoist chief looked up, it was a heavy iron door, and there was a pair of foxes at each of the iron rings on the door, which looked like a single eye. Seeing that it was the Taoist and Rong He coming, the pair of fierce eyes turned around, making a slight "click" sound.
"What is the matter?" they said in unison.
The Taoist chief was taken aback: "Be quiet...... Is this your deity?"
The pair just solemnly repeated what they had just said. It seems that he doesn't want to answer anything else.
"Come and see a prisoner. The Taoist replied gently.
"Do you have a certificate?"
"Oh, no, but I want to go in, and you can't stop me. ”
The Taoist chief still squinted his eyes, smiling.
The iron door slowly opened, and the Taoist and Rong He entered side by side, but the pair of bronze eyes slowly turned to Rong He's body.
Behind the iron gates is not unlike the outside at first glance, but there is a smell of death everywhere. The Taoist had never seen what Summer looked like, so he took out the maze branch again, and followed its guidance to the door of a cell.
There was a man crooked on the straw mat, who looked like he was not in his last years, but his expression was sluggish, as if he was about to die. He looked like he hadn't been groomed in a long time, his cheeks were sunken, his face was sallow, and his shirt was stained with blood. But looking closely at his appearance, it can be vaguely seen that he should have had a handsome and good skin before.
Dao Chang and Rong walked silently, but Summer still sensed their arrival somehow, and opened his eyelids with some difficulty.
There were inexplicably two more unrelated people in the prison, and there was no strange look on his face, but he waved his hand weakly and sneered: "He sent someone again? As I said, I'm useless." They are all dying people, so why bother?"
The Dao Leader was not interested in the reason behind this sentence, he just squatted down and looked at him coldly: "I think you are still useful, because you know Shen Qianqian." ”
Under the flickering candle flame, Xia Wu's face suddenly turned pale. His pupils constricted, and then he suddenly smiled weirdly, "Who? I don't know." ”
Dao Chang and Ronghe glanced at each other: this time I hit a thorn in the head.
There is a cloud in the "Dragon Classic": "The relentless is good at litigation, and it is also called the charter."
