Chapter 38: Purgatory on Earth
When Yuan Chongshan woke up, he was woken up by cold water, drenched, covered in blood, his body was already in prison clothes, in a dark dungeon, he was tied to the wall with shackles and shackles, and inside were all kinds of torture instruments, including tiger chairs, soldering irons, bamboo sticks, gourd strikes, scraping, axes, knives, saws, drills, chisels, whips, and rods.
Two fierce-looking servants whipped him, beating him until his skin was torn apart, and his flesh was blurred.
And then he was taken to a solitary cell.
There's nothing in it but straw pay,
The wounds on Yuan Chongshan's hands and feet have suppurated, and the dungeon is dark and damp, and there is no daylight.
Yuan Chongshan began to despair, such a day is better than death, and the only thing that makes him happy is that there is an old man next door, this old man is sitting cross-legged on a wooden bed with straw to breathe, his hair is scattered, but his expression is quite calm.
Yuan Chongshan's martial arts have been lost, his hands and feet have been abolished, and he is still in a dark dungeon.
Life may only be left with despair,
He recalled the past, childhood, met Master Ye Kai, learned the peerless skill Xiao Li Flying Knife, met Wang Chunlai, formed the Ten Brothers of Tianwei, shocked the world and became the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, Ziyun Villa, Villa Lixue'er, You'er, Juan'er and other eighteen beautiful maids, and went to Shaolin to steal the Dharma Relic and Wudang Mountain to get the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword, which thing is not a well-known thing in the rivers and lakes.
Now he is in a dungeon, a wreck,
He recalled the battle of Huangshan, only to find out that the battle of Huangshan was a poisonous plan colluded by Wei Dapeng and his cousin Lei Yi.
He began to worry about Liu Yun, blamed himself for his carelessness and lack of defense.
He lost, completely lost,
He lost his career and his marriage,
He is already a wasted man, a wasted man in the dungeon, and there will never be a day to turn over,
Every day he was whipped and burned,
The body is suppurated, and the official will bring some golden medicine to bandage his wounds, it seems that he doesn't want him to die so easily, let him suffer endless pain and torture,
He was also utterly despaired, and when he died,
Maybe the god of fate doesn't want him to die yet,
The mysterious old man next to him comforted him,
Although he didn't know what the old man said, because his mind was on what happened to him, someone to talk to him became his courage to live.
Slowly, he was unwilling to fail like this,
It's been a month,
His state of mind calmed down from the resentment at the beginning,
He looked at the dungeon, and how could he get out?
There was a dungeon behind him, dark, darker than his dungeon,
There was an old man who had gone crazy, talking to himself all day long, eating rats and cockroaches,
When he saw it, he felt like he wanted to vomit.
The dungeon seems to be very large, black and pressing, there are hundreds,
There are men and women in the dungeon, and he doesn't know what kind of dungeon this dungeon is.
began to ask the calm old man next to him about the origin of this dungeon,
The old man next to him smiled: This dungeon is called Jinggong Dungeon, it is the death row under the command of Jinyiwei and Dongchang and Xichang, and there are political prisoners or death row prisoners who have a major relationship with the safety of the Ming Dynasty.
Yuan Chongshan was disappointed for a while: It seems that it is more difficult to get out of this prison than to ascend to the sky.
The old man smiled and said, "Exactly, do you know who the crazy old man behind you is?"
Yuan Chongshan glanced at the crazy old man in the cell behind him, didn't he see who he was?
The old man is still smiling: he is Situ Wangxiong, the palace master of the Tianxian Palace who has shocked the world in recent years.
Yuan Chongshan couldn't imagine that this crazy old man was Situ Wangxiong, who claimed to be the first in the world in martial arts, with thousands of disciples, and wanted to dominate the world's martial arts.
Yuan Chongshan is naturally interested in why Situ Wangxiong has fallen to this point, especially when a down-and-out person sees another person who is equally successful but has fallen even more miserably than himself, he will feel a sense of comfort, even encouragement, maybe human beings have such a psychology of pouring out their pain and comfort to each other.
Yuan Chongshan hurriedly asked: Why did Situ Wangxiong fall into such a situation?
The old man still smiled and said: Last year, Tianxian Palace attacked the beggar gang and wanted to unify the northern martial arts, but as a result, thousands of disciples in Tianxian Palace were annihilated by the beggar gang, and Situ Wangxiong was defeated by Wei Dapeng, was injured and abolished martial arts, and was locked in this dungeon.
Situ Wangxiong, the palace master of Tianxian Palace, wanted to die, but in the face of the fear of death, people who can kill people are not necessarily not afraid of death, the official starved Situ Wangxiong for seven or eight days, and saw that he was dying, the official sent a dead mouse to Situ Wangxiong, Situ Wangxiong was hungry, and he went crazy after eating the dead mouse alive.
Yuan Chongshan felt a burst of nausea, and also felt a trace of sadness for the decline of a generation of heroes,
Tianxian Palace Master Situ Wang Xiong occasionally got the fragment of the Nine Yin True Scripture to retreat for 20 years, combined with the Tianxian Palace Method, practiced the Nine Yin Nine Turns Divine Skill, it is said that the exercise is above the Nine Yin True Scripture, because he has not shot once, so he has not entered the weapon spectrum, if he really wants to enter the weapon spectrum, the strength is no less than the dragon and phoenix flying ring of Shangguan Jin Hong in the past, so he is also one of the best masters in the rivers and lakes, Xiao Li Feidao is a fierce rival.
Losing in the hands of Wei Dapeng, it is estimated that he also fell for Wei Dapeng's tricks, Wei Dapeng is bold and atmospheric on the surface, and has the demeanor of Xiao Feng, the leader of the beggar gang back then, but in fact he is despicable and shameless, and he can't be prevented.
Thinking of this, Yuan Chongshan couldn't help but sigh,
But he began to be more interested in the old man in front of him, who told him all this calmly,
He is by no means an ordinary person, he can be fearless in such a treacherous dungeon, and he can deal with it calmly, and this calmness is far better than that of Situ Wangxiong.
Yuan Chongshan asked puzzledly: Who are you?
