Chapter Ninety-Seven: Prisoner of Heavenly Prison

Heaven is life, earth is death!

A prison is a place where the most vicious and important criminals are held. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Hell is a place where the dead gather, while Hell is a prison where the living are kept.

No one would have thought that there would be such a place under a rockery in the imperial garden of the Imperial Palace.

Jinxi, the eunuch who served the emperor, walked in front and lit the candlesticks on the walls on either side of the road leading down to the underground, and as the light gradually expanded, the damp staircase became visible.

Occasionally, you can hear the terrible howl of ghosts and wolves echoing through the passages, as if thousands of ghosts haunt the surroundings.

Xuanyuan walked behind, his pace steady, not afraid at all.

He knew it was the sound of the wind pouring into the underground passage, and he had been here many times.

The further down I went, the heavier the yin qi became, and there was a slight chill on my neck that was not covered by clothes.

Somehow far away from the passage, the subtle sound of metal striking echoes in the passage, endlessly, the sound is heavy and crisp, making people think about it.

What kind of characters are imprisoned in this secret 'heavenly hell'?

In addition to Xuanyuan De, who is the emperor, I am afraid that only by his side, the oldest eunuch in the palace, knows a little bit.

The air below was very muddy, with a rancid, foul smell that could only be felt if you walked with your nose covered.

As they got closer, the sound of metal striking grew louder and more frequent.

As if smelling the breath of its prey, the hungry beast struggled hard, trying to break free from the chains that trapped him and gain freedom.

Torch in hand, the two of them came to a straight path that seemed to stretch far away, the sound of footsteps echoing softly in the deep passage, and the sound of metal clashing faded away.

After walking for a long time, I finally came to an end.

The interlocking chains were thicker than an adult's arm, and even if the fire shone on them, there was not a trace of luster reflected on them, as if all the light would be absorbed on its body.

As you can see, the material from which the chains are made is not ordinary steel.

So, with such a large-scale formation, what kind of monster will be imprisoned?

The firelight shone on both sides, lighting the last two candles at the end point, and the hazy light rose like the sun that illuminated the world, bringing some warmth to people in this cold underground passage.

It is not a livestock or a demon beast that is firmly held in chains here, but a living human being.

The dirty hair curls to cover his face, and it is impossible to see what he looks like, but the bare skin on the outside releases the beauty of strength, and the beard is lush like a wild man who drinks blood in the forest, but under such a decadent appearance, a wisp of arrogance that is not inferior to the aristocracy is still faintly revealed, which makes people wonder what his identity was before.

"Hahaha-"

After a long silence, the locked man burst out into a long laugh, his voice piercing, echoing in the narrow passage, and the particles of dust fell in a stream, as if they were in danger of collapsing in the next moment.

Xuanyuan De was not worried at all, and stood calmly with his hands in his hands, waiting for the laughter of the restrained man opposite to gradually stop, and then slowly said, "Long time no see." ”

"It's been a long time, I think it's been hundreds of years since I've been in this dark place. ”

The man's head was tilted down, his eyes shimmering in the red light, and the eyes that looked at him were not very friendly.

The man in front of him had already expected his dislike of seeing Xuanyuande, so he was not annoyed, but sat down on the dirty ground, and said with a modest smile: "I didn't come here to quarrel with you, I just wanted to talk to you calmly, so I also specially took two jars of the best tribute wine in the imperial cellar, one jar for each of us, how about it?"

Xuanyuan De took a jar of wine from the eunuch behind him, and raised it in front of him.

The man who was bound in chains stared thoughtfully at the face on the other side that was slightly different from his impression, and his mood was a little complicated.

Since he is the Ninety-Five, he does not dislike soiling his clothes, and he is accompanied by a prisoner.

The heavy chains of his limbs did not inconvenience his movements, and the man sat cross-legged on the ground, took the wine jar that flew steadily in front of him, and unsealed the altar seal neatly.

When you get there, you get the smell of wine and quench your thirst.

It is worthy of the emperor's private collection of good wine, and people who are not strong enough to drink are afraid that they will be drunk just by smelling the taste.

Xuanyuan De smiled slightly, also opened the mud seal, lifted the wine jar from afar, and then drank happily.

The man was not far behind, and with the clanging of chains, his throat rolled rapidly, and he swallowed like a cow drinking water.

Almost at the same time, the jar was lowered, and the plackets of both were soaked, and the man's lush beard was dripping with water.

"How can a jar of wine be enough?

The man laughed heartily, his voice slightly thicker.

Xuanyuan De seemed to be overwhelmed by the wine, a faint flush appeared on his face, and after hearing the man's words, he instructed the eunuch standing beside him: "Jinxi, go to the imperial cellar and get two jars of wine." ”

"But...... Your Majesty, he ......" Jin Xi bowed and whispered in Xuanyuan De's ear, glancing at the man as he spoke.

Xuanyuan knew that he was worried about his own safety, and with a 'huh?' sound, he blocked back his words and said with a solemn expression: "Do what I tell you to do, and it is not your turn to speak for other things." ”

was blocked by him, Jinxi's voice stopped abruptly, and while his heart trembled, he slowly left along the road he came.

Now, there are only two people left, Xuanyuan De and the man, and the atmosphere is quite quiet.

"I call myself 'I', it's really majestic. ”

The man didn't know whether he was praising or laughing, and talked to him like an old friend.

Xuanyuande, who knew the man's character, knew that he was making fun of himself, so he smiled indifferently and sighed deeply.

"This emperor is not so easy to be!"

This sentence is completely heartfelt, and some things can only be experienced if you have really tried them.

"What's the matter?" the man asked casually, after no one had spoken to him for years.

"You can also see my current physical condition, I'm not like you, my cultivation has not increased since I ascended the throne, I have been staying in the innate realm, I work hard every day, and the speed of aging is increasing dramatically every day, I am afraid that even if I work hard, I can still reign for three or five years. Xuanyuan De sighed, his face full of gloom.

"So what?" the man found that there was still a puddle of wine at the bottom of the altar, and lifted the jar lightly, put it in his mouth, smacked his mouth, and drank it with relish.

"So the Demon Dao monks are here, and their purpose is self-evident. ”

Xuanyuande's words finally attracted the man's attention, only to see him startled, and asked, "Are they so bold, dare to run to Penglai City to spread wild?" The Penglai Immortal Sect shouldn't care about this situation. ”

"They want to take care of it, but the Tianxuan Dao Master of their sect has just passed away, and the head of the sect and the elders suspect that the upper echelons of the sect have internal ghosts, and a thorough investigation is underway, and there are very few immortal cultivators who can be sent here with complete trust, and I estimate that the person who comes is probably not the opponent of the Demon Dao Cultivator. "Xuanyuande's face is full of worry, in front of this man, he has not called himself 'I', but like you and me between friends.

"Do you need my help?" the man seemed to guess the purpose of his visit this time, and he slammed the empty jar to the ground with a hollow sound.

Xuanyuan De shrugged his shoulders, showed a natural expression, and said, "Yes, after all, you are also a member of our Xuanyuan family, aren't you?"

The corner of the man's eyes twitched, and the long-lost title in his ears really made him a little uncomfortable, he plucked his ears with his hands, and said calmly: "I won't go out, let alone ......" The man stretched out the chain locked on his wrist and said, "With this thing, I can't break free." ”

Silently looking at his younger brother's serious appearance, Xuanyuan De admired him from the depths of his heart.

Of course, with a few chains, he couldn't trap him who already had a Dao Shu Realm cultivation, and he really didn't dare to shatter the chains, and the reason why he stayed here all the time was because of the few pieces of gold aluminum foil paper attached to the chains.

The four sheets of paper looked a little dull, but the handwriting was clearly visible, and no mana was applied to them, but they were all written in the same handwriting.

The four 'forbidden revelations' are more effective than the strongest spells in the world.

Gold foil is no different from the paper sold in the market, but the people who write these words are a little different.

That handwriting was left by their father, the previous emperor of Penglai Kingdom.

It was these four pieces of paper that were ordinary in the eyes of ordinary people, but they trapped the most competitive second prince of the year, Xuanyuan Cai, who could be called a masterpiece in the cultivation world, for decades.

The thick chains were more than enough to trap ordinary Dao Seed Realm cultivators, but when he was trapped here, Xuanyuan was already at the realm of Dao Miao Realm, and it was easy to break free.

However, he knew that if he wanted to get out, these pieces of paper would inevitably be torn.

He couldn't, and he didn't dare to do it.

This is not pedantry, but a kind of respect for his father, even if they have been separated forever, Xuanyuan Cai did not touch the four pieces of paper at all.

And it has been many years since he fought for the throne back then, and he has also taken some things lightly, they shouldn't be his own, even if he works hard, it won't belong to him after all.

"Do you know what my second son said when he came to me today?" Xuanyuan suddenly asked, as if thinking of something funny.

Xuanyuan was not interested in playing dumb riddles with him, and said indiscriminately: "Could it be that he is forcing the palace to you?"

Xuanyuan De shook his head, knowing that if he didn't say it, how could he have no resentment towards himself in his heart, and said with a smile: "He is not that kind of child, he wants to give up the throne and return to the Penglai Immortal Sect to concentrate on cultivation." ”

Xuanyuan was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Isn't that just right, don't you pass the throne to your eldest son." ”

Laughing and shaking his head, Regulus stood up and didn't speak.

After taking a few steps forward, under Xuanyuan's incredulous gaze, he peeled off the four pieces of tissue paper that had been with him for many years, and then folded them together and turned around and left with his hands behind his back.

The candles by the side of the road were flickering and extinguishing because of his movements.

Looking at the back that was gradually walking away, Xuanyuan Cai had a little surprise in his eyes, and shouted loudly with an expression of disbelief: "What do you mean by this?"

"I think those chains can't bother you, you can decide for yourself if you can't get out, I'm going to leave now. Xuanyuan didn't look back, and said lightly.

With Xuanyuande's departure, Xuanyuan was left alone at the end of this "heavenly prison".

I saw him sitting in place, his eyes were a little glazed, after those few pieces of paper were taken away, he could leave as a matter of course, which should have been a happy thing.

But for some reason, at this moment, his heart became empty, as if something had been lost.

......

Xuanyuan walked slowly along the stairs, and his expression was a little relieved.

Brother, do you think I'm just here to ask you for help?

It's time to understand what happened a few decades ago, 'Heavenly Hell' shouldn't be your destination, and the outside world is still as vast as it was a few decades ago.

You are an eagle and should soar in the sky.

If we could all choose to take a step back like Hao'er back then, maybe it would be of great benefit to everyone.

Walking out of the 'Heavenly Prison', looking at the few thin sheets of foil in his hand, Xuanyuan De remembered his father who had put the throne in his hands.

Maybe we were all wrong.

The breeze-blown paper "boom, boom, boom" sounded like a leaf trembling.

In the distance, Jin Xi carried two jars of tribute wine that were not light, and "snorted, snorted," panting for breath.

Seeing that Xuanyuan De was already outside, he trotted a few steps, and his head was covered with beads of sweat the size of beans, which was rare in this cold weather.

"Your Majesty!" Jinki shouted softly.

Glancing at the wine jar slightly, Xuanyuan De took a deep breath and said, "Take it down, leave it all for the second brother, don't worry too much, come back as soon as you put it down." ”

After receiving His Majesty's orders, Jin Xi answered, and walked down with staggering steps.

The wind at night carried a heavy chill, Xuanyuan stood beside the rockery with his hands in his hands, looking up at the dark clouds in the sky covering the bright moon, and the black pressure made people feel heavy.

Just like the current Penglai City, the wind and rain are coming!
