Text Chapter 256 The Lord of the Green Worm Cave
The ravine is very deep, and when you reach the fifth layer, there are already fire veins of magma rolling under your feet.
The magma tumbled, spewing blazing heat and thick black smoke, and the surrounding caverns were scorched black with a thick layer of ash.
Even if a person with a high level of cultivation is imprisoned here by sealing the True Yuan, can he really hold on for hundreds of years?
Lu Xuan couldn't believe it.
The number of cells on the fifth floor is also very large, but there are ten rooms and nine empty, and Lu Xuan and Ge Lin have searched many cells in a row, but they are empty, and at most there are only some faintly visible bone residues left in them.
Strangely enough, there was a puddle of gold in every cell, but for some reason.
At this moment, the fire veins suddenly became agitated, and a terrifying heat wave roared, and the temperature rose sharply.
The veins of fire that had been in two quarters of an hour erupted again.
Even though Lu Xuan had already adapted to the fire aura, he still felt a little unbearable, but fortunately, Ge Lin released his true qi by his side to drive the heat wave away.
"Lu Xuan, look. ”
Greene stopped in front of a cell and pointed to a corner deep in the cell.
There, there was a black mass.
Lu Xuan looked at it, and after carefully distinguishing it, he confirmed that it was actually a skinny person.
The man, also covered in a thick layer of black ash, was huddled in the deepest corner of the cell, but stuck his head like an ostrich into a hole in the rock wall. If it weren't for the slight trembling of his body in the heat, even Greene would have found it hard to believe that this skinny man was still alive.
Lu Xuan and Ge Lin hurriedly opened the iron fence of the cell and walked in.
Greene let out his true anger and chased away the heat wave around the man, but the man still maintained a strange posture, but no longer shivered.
Lu Xuan walked over and grabbed him by the shoulder, pulling his head out of the rock wall, but then he was taken aback.
Black ash fell from the man's face, revealing a flash of gold.
The prisoner's entire face was covered in gold, but not in a gold mask.
It turned out that someone poured gold water directly on this person's face, solidifying into a golden face! Four holes were left in the eyes, nostrils, and mouth, and the eyelids were obviously burned out when the gold water was poured on the face, so the person couldn't close his eyes, and could only stare at Lu Xuan with a pair of chaotic and godless dead fish eyes.
Although he was looking at Lu Xuan, there was no light in his eyes, only numbness and death.
Lu Xuan's heart was miserable, and only then did he understand what was going on with the golden water he had seen in those prison cells before.
A long time ago, there should have been a golden slave in every cell, but after a long time, he could not bear the pain of the burning veins and died, and the gold water peeled off his face and melted in the heat.
The survivor in front of him didn't know how long he had endured, although his physical body could still hold on, but the gold water on his face couldn't, so he put his face deep into the hole every time the fire vein erupted, so as not to suffer from the melting of the gold water again.
Lu Xuan couldn't help but have endless respect in his heart.
Those who can survive tenaciously in this situation, and are still unwilling to surrender to Tu Shanguo, naturally deserve anyone's respect.
"Senior, wake up. ”
Lu Xuan shook the man's shoulder gently, and it took a while to awaken a trace of his senses.
The man's eyes rolled unfocusedly, apparently with almost lost sight, and a hoarse moan slowly came out of his mouth, as if he wanted to speak but couldn't.
He was tormented, not only his eyelids, but also his throat almost glued together.
Seeing this, Lu Xuan tentatively sent a piece of true qi over, the jade pool true technique he cultivated was a water system exercise, which was the most suitable for alleviating the pain of this person's fire poison, and sure enough, it didn't take long for that person to sober up a lot again.
He finally saw Lu Xuan and Ge Lin clearly with difficulty, and his eyes suddenly showed an extremely resentful expression.
"Hey, hey. ”
He suddenly let out a night owl-like laugh and hissed, "Chen Jia, I didn't expect Lao Tzu to be alive, right?
Lu Xuan glanced at Ge Lin, and Ge Lin took off his silver mask, revealing his true face and smiling: "This old man, I am not Chen Jia. ”
"Senior, let's ......" Lu Xuanzheng wanted to explain straight to the point, but saw that the moment the man took off his mask, he suddenly stared at Ge Lin like a ghost, and there was a gurgling sound in his throat.
"Ge ...... Green!?"
Lu Xuan and Ge Lin were taken aback, and Ge Lin came to the man with a confused expression, and said in surprise, "Do you recognize me?"
"You...... Aren't all of you who have left the Sword Sect dead?" The man was so excited that he wanted to stand up, but he was so weak that he shrugged his body a few times and then sat down.
Greene also suddenly became excited, "You...... Who the hell is it?"
Two tears suddenly appeared in the man's gray eyes.
This iron-clad man may have cried for the first time since he entered the prison.
Lu Xuan and Ge Lin were all moved.
"I'm ...... The frog cave is relieved. ”
The man seemed to be crying and laughing, and it was as if he was screaming with all his might, but all he spit out was a gossamer moan.
Greene was like a thunderbolt.
He knelt down in front of the man, his hands clutching his wrists, and his eyes turned red.
"Yu Cave Master, are you ...... How did you end up like this?"
In Green's mind, a fat old man with a smile on his face all the time came to mind. A hundred years ago, the Liwu Sword Sect and the Qingfu Cave were on good terms, and Yu Jie's seniority was half a generation higher than that of the Liwu Sword Sect Master, but they were on the same level as each other. The masters of both sects are golden slaves, and they have a high reputation among Tushan slaves.
Yu Jie's sorrowful cultivation is profound, at least a hundred years ago, he has been refining the gods and returning to the void realm, and he is on par with ordinary demons. Green's impression of him was still a hundred years ago, when he was still a little dismissive of relieving his sorrows.
In ancient times, the name of the frog was equivalent to a coin.
Yu Xie Chou is just like the name of his Qingfu Cave Master, he regards wealth as his life the most, and he always looks like a servile in front of the demons of Tushan Country.
At that time, Ge Lin had also objected to the sect master of the Separation Sword Sect befriending someone like Yu Jiechou.
But how could Yu Xie have fallen to such a point? Ge Lin could hardly believe that the person in front of him who was not even as hungry as he was the old frog cave master who was always smiling and with a huge body.
Yu Jiechou's face suddenly turned hideous, like a ghost who had just crawled out of the Nine Hells.
He suddenly grabbed Green's hand, and Greene couldn't help frowning, feeling that the strength of that hand was surprisingly great.
"Didn't you flee a hundred years ago? Why are you still in Tushan Kingdom? Aren't you scared, so you lost your fellow disciples and took refuge in Tushan Kingdom?"
Greene shook his head and patted Yu Jiechou's ghostly claw-like hand gently.
"Cave Master, we did escape, but I just came back from outside this time......"
"Escaped?"
Yu Xie muttered like a dream, and a bright light suddenly burst out in his eyes, "You guys...... Have you found a way out?"
Greene nodded with teary eyes and sighed.
"Hahaha!"
Yu Xie suddenly laughed, "What about Kushan?
He asked the Sect Master of the Lixian Sword Sect, Zheng Kushan.
Ge Lin said gloomily: "Senior brother died on the road, we are all away from the Sword Sect, and I am the only one left." ”
Yu Xie was stunned for a long time, and suddenly said with a strange smile: "Okay! Die a heroic death! It's better than my waste." His eyes were red, and he laughed for a long time as if he had gone mad. Ge Lin couldn't help but ask, "Cave Master, why did you fall into such a situation?"
Back then, Yu Xie was the best at acting on the spot, and the days of the Green Worm Cave were far easier than those of the Sword Sect. Greene never thought that he would one day be in this prison.
Yu Jiechou's eyes were empty, as if he had returned to the time of a hundred years ago.
"Kushan said goodbye back then, which touched me greatly. ”
"I never wanted to be a minion. What I want is to preserve the thousands of years of Dao system in my Qingfu Cave, and there are less than six hundred disciples. ”
"In fact, Kushan asked my opinion before leaving, and I also intended to advance and retreat with Kushan, but four of my seven disciples would rather die. So, the matter was closed. ”
"But since Kushan left, it took me two years to suddenly figure out a truth. ”
Yu Xie Chou suddenly showed a miserable smile on his face, and said mournfully: "It is precisely because my head is lowered that the backbone of the six hundred green worm disciples has bent down. The vast majority of disciples would rather be Tu Shannu than be human. Some disciples followed under the command of the demon marshal, and even began to wantonly kill other Tu Shannu. ”
"So one day I finally made up my mind, I want to follow your example from the Sword Sect to escape from the Tushan Kingdom, even if the green worm disciples die on the road, it is better to be worthy of the ancestors of the sect than to live like a walking corpse, that is the root of the sect. ”
"Unexpectedly, the day after I made up my plan to escape, a traitor whistleblower in the Green Worm Cave. ”
"In the early morning of that day, Marshal Xiaolin Chi Wuxiao and Marshal Golden Horn led the army to attack, and most of the six hundred disciples in the Qingfu Cave still didn't know my plan to escape from Tushan Country, so they were captured alive in a daze. Chi Wuxiao has pressed us all into the heavenly prison, and I plead in every possible way, willing to apologize with death, and only ask King Jiao to forgive my disciples and grandchildren. ”
"Haha. Yu Xie chou smiled miserably: "Unexpectedly, just two hours after we were pressed into the prison, King Jiao issued an order to Marshal Zhulang to kill all the disciples of the Qingfu Cave except me! The reason why I was left here was that King Jiao said that he would give me a chance, as long as I was willing to bow down and throw me the position of golden slave." ”
"I, of course, know that he is taking advantage of me. ”
"Of course I don't!"
Yu Jiechou's eyes were hideous and crazy, no matter how much torture he had suffered in the past hundred years, he had never lowered his head in front of the demons of Tushan Kingdom.
Lu Xuan and Ge Lin were silent.
"Senpai, I'll take you out. Lu Xuan said in a deep voice.
Although this trip was to save Mo Yunxiong and the others, saving one is also saving, and saving a hundred is also saving! Anyway, they are all sent to the furnace, and as long as their hands and feet are faster, there is no difference. As for whether he can escape from Tushan Country in the future, he can only say again, Yu Xie is not as good as death now, then it is better to live and die together.
"Get out?"
Yu Jiechou's eyes were full of astonishment, "Even if you can get out of the heavenly prison, can you get out of Tushan Kingdom?"
He asked the point, but Lu Xuan really didn't have an idea.
However, Lu Xuan smiled, looked down at Yu Xie and said, "Has the cave master forgotten his state of mind a hundred years ago? Even if he dies on the road, it is better than being killed." If you don't go crazy, how can you live?"
Yu Jie's eyes lit up, but then he revealed a trace of complicated feelings.
Today is different from the past, although it has been a hundred years since the scene of Marshal Zhulang devouring six hundred green worm disciples, it is like yesterday for the relief of sorrow.
He left by himself, how could he be worthy of those frog disciples who died in a daze?
