Chapter 20 (Storm) The cold back is shocked to see the non-living
Ding Ma and the two agreed, and stepped forward to restrain Hu Buwei.
The brothers were furious. I thought that this greedy official had eaten the silver of the two, and he was somewhat of a favor. He had just finished eating what he was holding, and he put his paw into the pot again. As soon as they met, they immediately said that Hu Buwei was a prisoner pursued by the government. Its meaning is self-explanatory, of course, it is to covet Hu Buwei's treasures. The junior brother was impatient, and immediately raised his eyebrows, and scolded angrily: "You dog official ......" Before he finished speaking, he asked his senior brother to stop him.
Hearing him say: "I'm afraid the general has recognized the wrong person, right? This thief just had some misunderstanding with us and stole our silver, so how can he be a fugitive?" He deliberately accentuated the word "silver" to remind the dog officer not to forget the bribe just offered by the two of them. Don't overdo it for the sake of the silver.
Unexpectedly, the official had his own thoughts in his heart, his face sank like water, and he didn't even look at him, but only said coldly: "The government approves the arrest of criminals, and others don't need to talk too much! If you dare to say more, you will be arrested and punished according to the punishment of the co-defendant!" In a word, the momentum is awe-inspiring, the official authority is full, and it is really loud and sound. The junior brother heard that where could he still hold it, he raised his big fist and rushed forward, this dog official forgot his righteousness on the spot when he saw the profit, turned his face and didn't recognize people, when the two of them were soft persimmons, was it so good?
When more than a dozen cavalrymen saw that someone dared to offend the commander, they shouted in unison, drew their swords one after another, and rode forward, forming a semi-arc in front of the leader, and the blade pointed directly at the offender, and the blade was as bright as snow.
The senior brother was calm in the end, and when he saw the noise, he attracted the residents from afar. At this time, the matter of killing officials and robbing Dan has become an empty talk. At that moment, he stopped the junior brother who was about to cast a spell, and hugged his fist to the official and said: "In this way, I will not disturb the general's case, the mountains and rivers are long, if there is a fate, we will see you in the future." Dragged the puffing brother, turned the corner, and threw himself to the other side.
A group of officials tied Hu Buwei tightly for his father and son, and galloped to the east of the city, when the sky was bright and there were many spectators, but they did not dare to strip him of his clothes on the spot and loot the treasure.
Hu Buwei was grabbed on a horse by an official messenger, and his mind was confused, and he didn't know where everyone was arresting him. Centipede Neidan is a fire, how fierce the tonic force is, his body is weak, and the spell foundation is also thin, and he will not use his breath to slowly transform the tonic like ordinary warlocks, and under the eagerness of the attic, he has been violently injured. After the pill fell into the abdomen, it was only half a stick of incense before it burst out. Hu Buwei felt that his body had become a furnace, and the heat rose like a pillar of fire, going up to the top of the throat, passing through the mouth, tongue, nose and eyes, and rushing straight to the top door of Baihui. There are also many hot qi of different strengths and weaknesses rushing between the five internal organs, running along the meridians and limbs. In just a moment, countless streams of heat rushed out like lava, urging his qi and blood to run. Hu Buwei's whole body was numb, and he felt that his arms, legs, and toes, as if his twenty hands and toes were instantly swollen several times. This experience of frying tendons and boiling the marrow is much more intense than any knife and stick, and since he has grown so big, how has he ever encountered it? He was very sad, suffocated in his chest, and his brain was pounding. After a while, the heat hit his mind, and with a 'wow!', a large mouthful of blood spurted out, and his brain was dazed, and his mind was already a little confused.
It's just that I have a thought in my heart, don't let that kind woman lose her life in vain. With a line of clarity, he climbed down the stairs in a daze, but his legs and feet were not very sharp, and he fell down on his back when he climbed to the middle. The muffled sound of Shicai was the sound of him tumbling down the stairs. The attic was only more than one person high, and he was in the middle of Danli's attack, so he didn't feel pain. only bitter Xiao Hu Tan, under the shock, he cried loudly.
Thanks to Hu Buwei's diligent study of the Fa in the past few months, he has finally laid some foundations. The way of mana operation has taken shape. After this inner pill entered his body, he dissipated by himself with a powerful impact along the channel, penetrating into his various aura, and fused with the original mana. It's just that the heat is sluggish, and the brain can't recover immediately for a while.
With a sound of sound, more than ten rode through the alley and returned to the avenue. The officials shouted loudly and waved their whips to drive away the crowd that stood in the way. After a short time, he returned to the palace in the east of the city. The leader of the official mission opened a secret room and carefully searched for Hu Buwei. Originally, he was full of hope, hoping to find a lot of gold and jewelry, but he didn't know that he had everything hidden in a tarpaulin package all over his body. When I opened it, I didn't see anything wonderful, a huge black nail, two human skins looked like things, and a wooden-sealed book, so I couldn't see what it was worth. Only one white jade plaque seems to be worth a few taels of silver. There are also many yellow paper charms, which are Hu Buwei's calligraphy and painting according to the "Dayuan Lian Zhenjing". That's even more useless. In a fit of rage, he threw Hu Buwei to the ground and scolded: "You dog-headed liar! Why don't you have anything of value on you? Where are you hiding?" Hu Buwei snorted continuously, his eyes were demented, and he knew how to answer. The official kicked him a few times, and when he saw him, he didn't dodge, nor did he cry out in pain, and he was clearly crazy. When he was at a loss for what to do, he suddenly remembered that the liar had come out of the peasant woman's house, and that he might have hidden the jewels in her house. The two were summoned at the moment and Hu Buwei was temporarily sent to prison for the time being. He turned over his horse, ordered a few of his men, and ran to Sannong's house, determined to find out all the jewels he was hiding.
After a toss, Hu Buwei's spirit recovered slightly. Two soldiers of the Forbidden Army sent him to the prison and handed him over, where he was led into the prison by two fat jailers. Passing through a long road, my feet gradually descended, and I seemed to be walking underground. Hu Buwei followed the jailer for the probe, and kept looking at this new place. At this time, there was no light in the sky, and only the glimmer of the torch in the hand of the jailer in front of him looked around. However, I saw that the top and both sides of the head were made of huge bluestone, which was slightly fixed with plaster, and I did not care about placing it flat. Many stones protrude out, and the edges are very sharp, and if you are not careful, you are afraid that you will be hurt. The stone surface was very damp, and many water droplets were condensed on the stone, and the grains were distinct, like insect eggs. After walking on the Yongdao for a while, his head and face were already drenched with water droplets dripping from the top wall. It made up for the fact that he hadn't washed his face in the morning.
After walking a short distance, I turned a corner, and a firelight jumped in front of me, but a few torches were inserted in the wall, blazing, illuminating a row of more than ten giant wooden cages standing side by side in front of me. Xijing is an important town near the imperial city, and there are many people, and this cell is also extraordinarily lenient. Fit hundreds of people.
The smell of rot, musty, and stool poured into his nose together, and Hu Buwei frowned. When I looked up, I saw that more than a dozen cages were full of people, men, women, and children, all of whom were unkempt and ragged. Seeing the arrival of the two jailers, the prisoners immediately clamored, beat the shackles of the prison pillars and screamed.
"Let me out!
"My lord, I was framed......"
"Okay, let me out, okay......"
And many young children and women wept in mourning, and for a time all sorts of voices were in the prison, crying and scolding, and crying and cursing. The two jailer bosses were impatient, their voices were like thunder, and they shouted angrily: "Shut up, shut up! Shut up for me!" Suddenly, some people laughed loudly, very joyful, and it was extremely abrupt in the crying and scolding.
Everyone was stunned, and heard the man laugh and say, "Funny, funny, so funny!" Hahaha, I've never seen anything so funny when I'm so big. But I don't know what he saw, and it's so funny.
The two jailers followed the sound and saw a thin yellow man in the sixth cage leaning against the wall, smiling and grinning. I wondered why he was so happy. As he got closer, he asked, "What's interesting?" The man came up in line and said, "Get out of the way, get out of the way, let me talk to the two adults." The prisoners, not knowing what was wrong with him, avoided him to the side and let him go to the prison.
When he reached the prison door, he knelt down and cried, "My lord, you can do it, let the villain go, the villain has an eighty-year-old mother and a half-year-old child, if I don't go back, they will starve to death!" It turned out that this person's body was thin and he couldn't squeeze in front of him. Annoyed, he came up with this strange plan, which was unusual, and everyone cried and laughed, which really attracted the attention of the two jailers. However, the harm was obvious, and at the moment he was pressed aside by two angry strong men, fists and flesh, and begged for mercy with his mouth in pain.
After a small episode, the jailer led Hu Buwei to the innermost wooden cage, pushed him in, and locked the cell door with a thick iron chain. The jailer took out a talisman from his bosom, threw it in, and said, "You have to put away this talisman, don't lose it, otherwise the accident is all self-inflicted, and it has nothing to do with you." ”
Hu Buwei was obedient, picked up the talisman paper from the ground, and put it in his arms. He had never been in a prison cell, and he thought that every cell was given amulets to prisoners in this way. Not in the slightest.
The two jailers asked, "Who else wants the talisman paper?" Hurry up, you won't give it again when it's too late!" Hu Buwei looked around and saw that the cage was quite spacious, and the ground was covered with many wheat and rice stalks, which were used to allow prisoners to sleep. Although it is summer at this moment, the ground is cold, and if you sleep on the cold ground for a long time, people will get sick. There were more than 20 people in the same cell, mixed men and women, who were busy crying and complaining to the jailers about their grievances, and no one came to deal with him.
Just as he was bored, one of the jailers suddenly said, "Ahh Seeing that everything was the same, the two of them hurriedly picked up torches and fled out of the door like lost dogs.
The prisoners sighed in disappointment, some wept and wept, and some cursed. but no longer pleaded and shouted loudly. In a short time, everyone returned to the corner to recuperate, and the silence of the cell was immediately restored, and in the huge cell only the ticking of water falling to the ground and the cracking of sparks could be heard.
From time to time, there was a low sobbing of an innocent child.
Hu Buwei found a place to sit against the wall. Hu Tan was tired from crying, and he had fallen asleep again at this time. The poor child had not eaten milk for a whole day, and suffered many bumps, and it seemed in the light of the fire. Seeing that his little thin face was stained with tears, and with one thumb in his mouth, he thought that he was so hungry that he kept sucking his fingers until he fell asleep. Hu Buwei was sad to see, and couldn't help but cry, Xiao Hu Tan followed him out before the moon, and slept in the open air, often so hungry and full. He has always been very good at taking care of people, and he is also immersed in the study of spells, so he has no energy to take care of and care for children. It has been more than half a year since the child was born, and he only lived a few days of stable and comfortable life when he was a guest in Liu Mansion in Su Mansion. Compared with many children of the same age in the world, how unfortunate he is.
Just as he was sighing to himself, he heard a loud "dang!" outside the cell door, and someone shouted: "It's time to be careful!" The prisoners panicked and rushed into the corner, not knowing what to do.
Hu Buwei saw that several people in the same prison showed horror on their faces, and clenched the talisman paper issued by the jailer tightly in his hand. Qi Qi set his eyes on the innermost corner of the torture chamber.
The prisoners in the various cages huddled together next to each other. But no one spoke. Hu Buwei was puzzled in his heart, and saw that more than ten male and female prisoners in the same prison were also shrunk on the horns like this, and his frightened eyes gathered together. When I looked up, it was dark and gloomy in the torture cell, and the torch light did not shine, and there was nothing strange about it.
While she was thinking, a girl in the next prison cried "Wow!" and shouted: "Mother, I'm afraid, I'm afraid!" Her mother hurriedly comforted: "Good girl, don't be afraid, my mother protects you, they won't hurt you." So she said that, but her voice trembled, and it was obvious that she was also terrified. As soon as the little girl's cry began, it was easy to contain it for a short time, and she swallowed it sadly, which caused the other children in the prison to cry.
Hu Buwei was too late for a teenager in the cage to act, he didn't squeeze into the innermost, he was nervous, he heard the crying everywhere, he couldn't bear it anymore, jumped up, and roared angrily: "Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Whoever cries again, I will pinch you to death!" Looking at the nervousness of these hundreds of people, it didn't seem to be fake, but they didn't know what was terrifying that made them so afraid. In a panic, he hurriedly hugged Hu Tan and looked at the pile.
At this moment, the wind was blowing on the flat ground in the cell, and a violent gust of wind suddenly blew, carrying a lot of straw into the corridor. The torches were hit by the air current, and they kept jumping, and they were in a prison for a while. As soon as this gust of wind blew, the prison seemed to have suddenly entered the harsh winter, and the cold became great. But the crowd did not dare to speak anymore, and the frightened parents did not dare to come out, and covered the mouth of the child in their arms tightly to prevent them from making a sound.
There was a dead silence in the prison. A small tornado slowly turned, rolling up the debris scattered on the ground. The rice stalks grind against the ground with a slight 'clacking' sound.
With a "choking" sound, the iron hook on the wall of the torture room suddenly struck and shook slightly. Everyone was shaken. It was the torture instrument used to hook and lock the shoulder blades during the interrogation of felons, and it was very large and heavy, and it swung open, and the rusty iron grinded against each other at the tenon, making a tooth-aching 'squeak!' sound. For a long time. Hu Bu's hair stood on end for the cold, and he only felt cold in his heart. Seeing that there was obviously no one in the torture chamber, the pair of black iron hooks that were originally static would shake suddenly, as if someone had accidentally collided when they passed by.
In the midst of great tension, a low moan, as if squeezed out of the wall, was the despair of the dying person, with a lot of pain and desolation, and seemed to have resentment and helplessness. Hearing this painful snort that seemed distant but close at hand, Hu Buwei's heart 'Gordon!', and his heart 'fluttered' violently. For a while, I felt that my lips were dry and my palms were sweaty.
There was a long groan, and there seemed to be a dying old man lying in the torture chamber, exhausted for the last struggle. But there was obviously no one inside! Hu Buwei suddenly encountered such a strange thing, and he was so frightened that his whole body was numb for a while, and the cold air was swishing. The whole person felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar. I held my breath and didn't dare to move.
The moaning stopped. Everyone listened closely, and it seemed that something was slowly crawling out of the wall. It was hard to see in the dark, except for the occasional 'clatter' sound. A moment later, there was a 'plop!' sound, and it seemed as if something heavy had fallen from the wall to the ground. Everyone raised their hearts to their throats, but they didn't know what was crawling out.
At that moment, a fierce gust of wind suddenly broke through, and with a loud 'whew!', the wind stirred out of the torture chamber, like a soft but dense mass, and slammed against the wall, making a dull 'buzzing' sound. The air flow rolled over, and the three torches on the wall were blown off, and they hit the top wall of the cell with a 'pop!', falling down and extinguishing. The darkness thick as black blood instantly engulfed the entire cell.
The crowd shouted in horror. Screams and cries rang out. There was a chorus of voices in the cell. Hu Buwei was mixed in the crowd, and when he heard the young men and women around him shouting hoarsely, his fear had reached its peak. I almost wanted to open my mouth and shout with everyone. Unexpectedly, Hu Tan was awakened by the crying of everyone, wow wow cried, waved his hand and kicked his foot, and smashed him into the neck, which smashed him a little sober.
Listen to the undulating cries. A lot of fine, dense sounds are mixed with it. It seemed that something was crawling on the ground, and it seemed that someone was slowly approaching. The leakage of air when the throat is cut, the ticking sound of blood dripping on the ground, the sound of wheezing, the sound of cursing, the sound of grinding teeth. In a hurry, it seemed as if something was pouring out of the cage, but the deep darkness obscured everything, and no one knew what was making these small sounds. In a matter of moments, despair and fear had taken over hundreds of people in the prison.
A heart-rending exclamation came from the next cell: "Ahhh The crowd heard only a terrible scream, which abruptly stopped. The prisoners in the same cell shouted: "Ah, blood, blood, he's dead, he's been eaten!"
Oh my God! Monsters eat people!
Hu Buwei can still endure it. The crowd shouted wildly. screamed hoarsely, trying to shout out some of the horror in his chest. The smell of blood came from next door, and the smell of hot and wet food made people sick.
What is invisible is the most terrible thing.
The young man who was in the same prison as Hu Buwei was the weakest, and he was already delirious when he was so frightened. Suddenly he screamed, jumped up quickly, cried and laughed, ran around in the prison, shouting: "Dead! hahahaha! It's over! Dead! Woo woo woo ......" jumped into the crowd and trampled on it without stopping, and everyone was terrified in their hearts, and they couldn't stop dodging and screaming. Hu Buwei was kicked a few times on the shoulder, and he didn't care, he just shouted wildly in his heart: "What is that! It will eat people!" In a moment of horror, a small lump of wet and soft things flew from the direction of the young man, hit him in the face, and fell.
Hu Buwei jumped up with a 'Ah!' sound. A loud roar came from afar, and it was in front of him in an instant. Although Hu Buwei couldn't see it, he could really feel the flying thing standing in front of him in the dark, as cold as cold iron. The feeling of heavy pressure made him breathless. He took two steps back at the moment, and with a 'Teng!' sound, his back leaned against the cold wall.
Just hear the sound of 'click!' bones shattering. The young man's voice stopped.
The bloody blood gas spread, and everyone in the same prison could not be calm, and at the same time they cried loudly and fled in all directions. Hu Buwei was suffocated in his brain, the horror could not be suppressed, and under the horror, the aura in his body rotated, and his right hand struggled to swing out. The soil control spell that I usually practiced flowed naturally, but after listening to the sound of 'gurgling', the ground in front of me had changed, and I couldn't see how high the earth pillar was in the dark, but the ground trembled, and it seemed that it was not small.
After this spell was summoned, Hu Buwei woke up in shock. When this darkness and horror comes, if he doesn't use it, when will he wait?
Two people were injured in a moment in the prison, and everyone was already in a frenzy. He screamed and screamed, and slammed his slap on the pillar. Timid stool incontinence, brain blank. I don't know how many people fainted.
In the darkness, I suddenly heard someone in the thirteenth cell trembling and reading: "Danshu purple characters, to town the six palaces." Internalize the gold by, and drop the flying dragon outside. Qiong Yu Yu Gai, Xuan Zhang Xuanang. The cloud ride is coming, and the four will be eight. Qiyao Purple Scene, Quietly Traveling in Space ......" After a while, but listening to the sound of 'You', the bright light came into view, and two or three fireballs as big as vegetable blue suddenly lit up in the prison, hanging in the air and rotating, illuminating the inside and outside of the cell.
When they saw the things that appeared in the light of the fire, everyone was even more frightened. Immediately, someone let out a heart-rending scream.
"Ahh
"Help!"
What a terrifying countenance! Hu Buwei only wished that he had never seen these things, and only hoped that he could forget all these nightmarish scenes. In the days that followed, he often saw those horrifying faces in his dreams, and he woke up in fright, and could not sleep again.
Outside the prison stood countless dead things, dressed in tattered robes stained with blood, or with mutilated hands and feet, or severed heads, standing miserably, uttering angry and cursing sounds. The eyes may be green or red, all of which are cruel and violent.
In the jumping firelight, an old man covered in black smoke twisted and struggled in front of Hu Buwei, making a dead frog-like chirping sound, the fire was dazzling, he was not used to such a bright and dazzling environment, and stretched out two black and deformed thin paws to protect his face. His face! His face! Hu Bu's heart was broken, he only screamed, his body shook, his hands shook, the fireball went out, and Hu Tan fell into the grass.
It was a resentful old man. The skin and flesh on his face were all ulcerated, half rotten flesh and half white bone, and the charred and broken skin rolled into pieces and stuck to the bones. In the sockets of the eyes, the decaying eyeballs half-hung out of the sockets, and the blue-green fluid flowed down the cheeks, dripping over the corners of the mutilated purple-black mouth, and fused with the blood foam leaking from the sharp teeth.
The only green eye was scorching, and he looked at Hu Buwei through his fingers. What kind of bitter hatred is that! Hating all people, all things, all living beings, and only wanting to tear apart and eat all the living things that you see in front of you! How can Hu Buwei face such a terrifying scene, no matter how bold he is? With the hoarse cries of many women and men, a heart suddenly jumped, until it broke through the chest and fell out.
Hearing the snake-like sound slowly drifting away, Hu Buwei's mind was blank. The horrible face still shook in his eyes.
Thanks to Hu Tan's well-timed crying, he woke him up. Hu Buwei took care of his mind, picked up the child, and performed fire control techniques, but he was extremely frightened in his heart, and the trembling on his body couldn't stop. Then the prisoners saw a middle-aged man with a pale face, holding a crying baby in one hand, and holding a false baby in the other, trembling like sifting chaff, igniting three slowly rotating fireballs. The fireballs were affected by his tremors, and they couldn't stop jumping, illuminating a cell in a stormy and uncertain light.
But when the fire is bright, those dead things will not dare to come and invade again. It retreated like a tide, but after a few moments, it disappeared completely, and if it weren't for the fact that there was a bloody corpse lying in each of the two cages, everyone would have thought that there had only been a terrible nightmare.
The night passed in anxiety. There is no light in the prison, and everyone tightens their heartstrings, and they don't know how long it will last. Just when Hu Buwei's mana was running out, and the fireball became smaller and smaller, and was about to be extinguished, there was a sound of iron locks outside the cell door, and a jailer shouted, "It's time to eat!" and walked in with a torch. He carried a large wooden barrel full of glutinous rice in his hand.
A moment later, two more jailers came in and removed both bodies, and without wiping the blood, they piled up the straw indiscriminately.
The prisoners shouted: "My lord, stay here!"
