The sound of "tick-tock" water sounded intermittently, swinging in the dark and narrow prison, like trembling ripples. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In such a humid place, no one knows where the sound of water is coming from.

Except for the faint sound of breathing, the rest is silent.

However, the silence was immediately broken.

"Crunch-"

The heavy door slammed open, and a rotten moan came out.

A dim light shone in, and the prisoners, accustomed to the darkness, narrowed their eyes and looked at the door.

I saw a blue-robed young man appear at the gate, with a slight glimmer of light, his figure was well-proportioned, his appearance was dignified, and his eyebrows were polite, but he was disheveled, his expression was embarrassed, and his face was full of loss and frustration.

"Get in!" came a soft shout.

The blue-robed young man staggered a few steps forward, his body swayed, and he almost fell. And when he moved, there was a sudden sound of "rattling" at his hands and feet.

The prisoners looked fixedly, but saw that he was wearing shackles on his hands and feet, walking and ringing, and he was restrained everywhere, but he was the same as himself, and they all sneered at the moment: "Another person who has committed murder." ”

"Look at his dress, he looks like a scholar......"

Shen Du froze his figure, his face was gloomy, and he shook the shackles on his feet with anger, and then turned to look.

I saw two jailers standing in the doorway, raising their eyebrows, crossing their arms, and looking at him with great disdain on their faces.

One of the jailers walked a few steps to the door of a cell, took a bunch of keys from his waist, and opened the door.

With a "bang", the iron lock slipped and was being held by the jailer.

"Go in by yourself. Could it be that you still want to invite you?" he turned around and glanced at Shen Du.

Shen Du sighed, shook his head helplessly, and finally dragged the shackles on his hands and feet into the cell.

With a bang, the jailer slammed the door and locked it again.

After the two jailers left, Shen Du slowly walked a few steps, raised his eyes and looked around.

I saw that the whole prison was quite cramped, and in the darkness, it was estimated that there were only a dozen cells. There were two or three inmates in each cell, mostly lying or lying on hay in the corners.

It is said to be hay, but in such a damp and dark place, it is mostly wet and sticky.

The smell of rancid and moldy came to my face, and I don't know how much feces and urine were hidden, how many dead rats were hidden, and I almost wanted to be disgusted at first smell.

"It turns out that this is death row. Shen Du thought secretly, his face twisted his eyebrows, and his emotions in his heart were quite complicated.

"Scholar, what crime did you commit in coming in?" an indifferent voice came.

This man spoke very casually, his tone was indifferent and indifferent, and there was a little banter in it, which did not look like the behavior of a death row inmate.

Shen Du heard the sound and turned his head to look.

I saw that in a corner of this cell, there was a layer of hay, and a man in black was sitting on it.

This person has straight eyebrows, sharp eyes, about thirty years old, dressed in black and light, looks quite tight, and has a hidden evil aura on his body.

In this cell, except for Shen Du, there is only this man in black, and there is no one else.

Shen Du didn't think much about it, so he said: "I offended the imperial court in the imperial examination. ”

"Yo, and such sins?" a surprised voice came from another cell.

Another prisoner followed and said, "Hehe, the reader has a lot of flowers......

"Offended the court?" said the man in black in a cold voice, "This bullshit court still needs to offend?"

"Since the death of Wu Anjun twenty years ago, the old emperor's actions have become more and more unpredictable, killing many loyal and good, and the whole country is in a miasma. Only a mess was left for the little emperor now. He continued, "The world will soon be in chaos. ”

As soon as these words came out, the prisoners couldn't help but talk about it, some scolded the court, some scolded the traitorous ministers, and the foul language was endless. Only the man in black was silent again, sitting quietly cross-legged, with his hands on his lap.

The prisoners here are the least beheaded, and most of them have no scruples when they speak, and the situation is quite chaotic, even the jailers don't bother to care about it.

Listening to the complaints of the death row inmates, Shen Du looked for a corner, and then sat on the hay with a lot of thoughts in his heart.

Thinking that he was young and weak, it was a good time for him to be in his prime, but he was imprisoned, just waiting for the autumn to be beheaded. He felt remorse in his heart, and secretly said that he should not have violated his master's teachings.

According to his master, Shen Du was an abandoned baby along the way. His master had no one to rely on, so he took him in and raised him.

Shen Du's master was withdrawn, lived in a remote place, and did not associate with people. He looked sick all day long, coughing endlessly, his beard was gray, his beard was unkempt, and his back was hunched badly.

Speaking of which, Shen Du is seven feet long and has four, which is quite a tall person. However, his master often thought he was short and always scoffed at him. But it's understandable, after all, the old guy is hunched over and as tall as Shen Du, and it's really hard to imagine what he looked like when he was young.

The master said that he had no name and no surname, and let Shen Du have the surname Shen just because he admired Wu Anjun and Shen Beiwang. Shen Beiwang is a hero and is admired by the world, which is not too unusual. and is commensurate with master and apprentice, it is all because of his set of vulgar remarks that "it is better to raise than to raise, and it is better to teach".

The old guy is very knowledgeable and boasts of being the only one in the world, and even the ancient sages are mostly ignored. Every time he teaches Shen Du, he blurts out at his fingertips. Among them, there are some "great rebellion" remarks, which are contrary to the education of the imperial court.

It's just that Shen Du feels that Master's rebellious remarks are reasonable and impeccable, compared to those sages' arguments, which are full of loopholes and vulnerable.

Because of this, before his illness died, the master repeatedly warned him not to participate in the imperial examination, otherwise a great disaster would come.

Shen Du agreed at that time. It's just that as a scholar, if you don't take the imperial examination, where will there be any way out. After a few years, he could not hold himself on, and finally embarked on the road of scientific research.

He prides himself on being talented, and he is not the first in the imperial examination. Unexpectedly, when answering the questionnaire, he sprinkled thousands of words in the past, and wrote what he thought in his heart with a slight accident, and degraded the saint's education to worthless, and Shen Du, who was writing happily, was unconscious, and became the first person to hand in the paper.

Originally, if Shen Ducai was clumsy, the examiner who judged the paper just looked at the beginning and threw it away, it would not be a big deal. But his article was written very brilliantly, which made the examiner applaud, and he read it very carefully, so that something happened.

As a result, as soon as the gold list came out, everyone else went to watch the list, but he was escorted by the government.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, no one has dared to belittle the sages so much on the imperial examination papers. Within a few days, Shen Du was directly put on death row, and the autumn queen asked to behead.

He has great understanding and an extraordinary mind, but now he is a prisoner of the ranks. The bookish business is angry, and the ambition is full of no more can be done, and it is really a misstep into a thousand hatreds.

Now that there is no way to return to heaven, his life will have to be explained.

"If you don't die in a catastrophe, you must be cautious in this life!" Shen Du felt remorse in his heart, and it was inevitable that he would think so.

What's the use of just thinking like that?

He groaned, clenched his fists, and slammed twice against the wall.

Two "bangs" sounds.

Shen Du suddenly stiffened, and the fist also paused in mid-air.

He frowned slightly, turned his head, and looked at the wall.

I saw that this wall was extremely ordinary, gray and not slippery, quite potholes, and there was no difference from the surrounding area.

But as soon as his hand touched the wall, he clearly felt a strange feeling of warmth.

This feeling is not obvious, but it is very special, Shen Du is unheard of, indescribable, and he is very surprised in his heart.

After a moment's hesitation, he put his hand on the wall again.

A strange feeling of warmth returned, very different from the coldness of the surrounding walls.

It seems to be soft water, moisturizing things silently. Shen Du closed his eyes, and described this feeling in his heart.

He opened his eyes and withdrew his hand.

Looking at this wall, Shen Du's eyes flashed slightly, and he couldn't help but think about it in his heart.

"What's in there?" he thought.

It's just that no matter how closely he looks, there is not the slightest crack in this wall, it is natural, and it really doesn't look like a dark grid or something.

"People are going to die, and they still have a lot of scruples!"

Thinking of this, he didn't delay any longer, and immediately lifted the chain in his hand, clenched it into a ball, and then smashed it against the wall.

"Bang-" sound.

The man in black in the same cell couldn't help but turn his head and look at Shen Du with a strange expression.

The prisoners who were still scolding were also stunned, and the scolding became much quieter, and then they all looked in the direction where Shen Du was.

The prison was so dark that many people could not see what was happening, and no one spoke for a while.

A prisoner with better eyes squinted at it, then sneered and said, "That scholar is smashing the wall!"

As soon as these words came out, all the prisoners were stunned at first, and then they laughed one after another, full of mockery.

"Haha--he still wants to escape?"

"What a laughing man!"

Shen Du didn't hear it, and only held the chain and smashed the wall by himself.

Master once passed on a set of "Ruoshui Fist Method" to him, although the power is mediocre, but it is peaceful and peaceful, and the victory lies in a solid foundation. He has been practicing since he was a child, and his physique is also quite strong, although he is not as good as a martial arts practitioner, but he is by no means as weak as an ordinary scholar, and he is not a problem to deal with three or two thieves on weekdays.

As a result, he slammed the wall, and a lot of rubble burst out of the wall, splashing everywhere.

"Bang Bang Bang" As more and more gravel bursts out, a large pothole gradually begins to appear on the wall.

The man in black had already turned his head and continued to meditate with his eyes closed, as if in a state of flux. The rest of the prisoners also lost interest and didn't bother to pay attention to Shen Du's strange behavior.

I don't know how long it has been.

There was a "bang", followed by the sound of the chain sliding.

Shen Du rubbed his sour palms and looked at the wall.

I saw that the wall was smashed into a pothole several inches deep, and the rubble was scattered all over the ground.

And deep in the wall, a touch of blue is revealed, embedded in it.

"What is this?" Shen Du frowned.

He turned around and saw that the man in black was still sitting still, and the rest of the prisoners did not move.

Shen Du's eyes flashed slightly, and then he reached out and inserted it into the pothole, pinched the touch of blue, and then gently tugged it.

Unhindered, dragged out.

Shen Du put his hand away, and looked down to see a piece of blue jade lying quietly in his hand.

This jade is only two inches in size, and the edges are quite irregular. Its whole body is aqua blue, the color is moist, and there is a clear glow, which looks extremely extraordinary.

This blue jade was held in his hand, and an inexplicable gentle power came from it, and it traveled all over the body in an instant, which was very comfortable.
