The man in black never appeared again for a long time, but every day someone brought water and food, and we tried to communicate with them, but found that these people were deaf and dumb, and could not communicate at all.

Later, I found out that they were not born with a disability, but that they were deaf and had their tongues cut out because they were afraid that they would leak what they heard and saw. It seems that it is no accident that we were captured and mutilated by others, and the caves, underground cells, and disabled slaves that led us to the bait were obviously prepared in advance, and even the news of the birth of the king was deliberately released by them, and those people were well prepared.

The food in the prison was unusually smelly and difficult to swallow, but in order to survive, we had to grit our teeth and eat it, but after a while, I found that something was wrong with my body, and I had a special pain all over my body every morning and evening. At first, I thought it was because the injury had not healed, but gradually, the injury on my shoulder had begun to scab, but the pain was getting worse and worse, and it was unbearable, as was Tie Lao Er next to me.

With my years of research on drugs, I know we were poisoned. The poison should be in the daily diet, and the dose is not large each time, so there is no special abnormality in the body at the beginning. But when it accumulates to a certain extent, it explodes. Obviously, the other party is not trying to poison us, and it is much less effort to give us a painful knife. They are torturing us and destroying our will with pain. When the man in black asked us to hand over the inheritance, he had expected that we would not give in easily, so he went straight to it!

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the man in black to appear. asked us how we thought about it, and bluntly said that we were poisoned, and it was one of the world's strange poisons. Because the dosage is very small each time, it will not kill us for the time being, but it will be very painful, and the pain is unbearable for ordinary people, and it will make us want to die immediately to be relieved.

"After spending so many means, I finally caught you, and I won't let you die easily. Moreover, now that you have lost all your internal strength, it is impossible to cut off your meridians. Also, don't believe in the nonsense of biting your tongue and killing yourself, it has no effect except pain and inability to speak, just look at the slaves who bring you food, every tongue has been cut, but none of them are dead! Hunger strikes are useless, I will force people to stuff them in. Don't add unnecessary pain to yourself, how about somebody? Someone want to say? A good start! I'll give him analgesic medicine right away. If the cooperation is pleasant, maybe the antidote is given to you! Oh, no one is talking, well, we have time. I'll be back in a few days, and if anyone figures it out and shouts, I'll be notified by the guards. Now enjoy your hellish life!"

For the rest of the day, the pain grew worse and worse, to the point where it was unbearable. I'm okay, because of long-term exposure to various drugs, my immunity is a little stronger. Tie Lao Er has bitten off his own flesh more than once to divert the pain. The daily diet will be delivered as usual, knowing that there is poison in it, but we can't stop eating it, or we won't have the strength to resist the next severe pain.

The man in black would come in every once in a while and ask what we thought. Seeing that we didn't open our mouths, we didn't say much, but turned around and left. Finally, Tie Lao Er couldn't bear it anymore, and when the man in black came over again, he promised to hand over the internal strength of the heart. But the only requirement is to give him a good time when this is over. Thinking that even if he can be detoxified, he is still a waste, and he doesn't want to continue to live like this. He was then transferred out of the dungeon, and I don't know exactly what happened next. Anyway, I haven't seen him since that day.

It seems that he has grown tired of my persistence, and the men in black will come less and less often in the days that follow. And I was on the verge of collapse every day, but I gritted my teeth and held on. Suddenly, one day an unexpected visitor came, and the breeze of Wudang came to visit me. What surprised me was that he looked pretty good when he was captured at the same time, except for his pale face and a little erratic gait, everything was normal, and even he was dressed cleanly and decently.

Seeing my suspicions, Qingfeng smiled bitterly and said, "Don't doubt it, I'm also a victim! Half a month ago, I couldn't bear it anymore and made an agreement with them. In addition to the core secret method of one gasification and three clearing, the other Wudang stunts have been handed over. So they removed the chains that had pierced my lute bone, gave me medicine to relieve my pain, and provided me with a clean room to heal my wounds. No, they also asked me to show up to persuade those fellow Jianghu who are still dying. But don't worry, I'm just forced to come and see, whether to say it or not to make up your own mind, and I don't bother to do it. ”

"Who are they?" I asked.

"I don't know. Qingfeng shook his head: "I've seen about five or six of them, all of them are covered in black scarves, and their voices have changed." However, the way I look at my body and speak is not as familiar to me. But I can feel that there are at least two or three things that are not below the heyday of you and me. ”

"Even if you and I don't have any friendship, we are very familiar with each other, where do so many masters pop up for no reason?"

"Then I don't know! And I've heard that there are more than a few of them. To be so skilled and unknown in the rivers and lakes, then their organization is really terrifying!" Qingfeng replied dejectedly.

Seeing that Qingfeng couldn't provide much information, I asked him again: "Where is this? Have you seen any other people who have been detained?"

"I don't know exactly what it is, but I know it's a dungeon, and it's very large. They also didn't allow me to move around freely, so I only went to a very small part. Including you, I have seen a total of nine masters who have become famous on the rivers and lakes. Six have already made an agreement with them and have been released like me. Only you, an Arhat in Shaolin Luohan Hall, and Boss Yu of the Iron Hand Gang are still holding on. But the seven people we have compromised have been sent to different areas, and it can be seen that there are many people who have not yet accounted for you. They don't allow us to communicate with each other, and I think there are not too many people who are still in detention. ”

"How are you! Can you hold on?"

"I don't know when I'm going to break down!" I shook my head and said, "Can you help me get free?"

"There is no way!" he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "When we were talking, someone was watching outside the door, how could I kill you in an instant with my current state and defenseless? They won't let us die easily until the surplus value is drained. I know so much, and coming here today is also to let you be mentally prepared, you take care of yourself!"

With that, he turned around and knocked on the iron door, and immediately someone opened the door and let him out. Sure enough, even our conversation was monitored.

Time was spent in despair, although I couldn't see the sun and the moon and didn't know the hour, but I felt that more than half a month had passed. During this period, I met a few people who knew each other well, and they also compromised like Qingfeng, but without exception knew very little about this matter.

Until one day, I was groggy and awakened by a shaking mountain. The cell shook violently, and dirt and rocks kept falling. I knew it was an earthquake, and it was severe. There is no fear in my heart, and even some snickering, if I can be buried here, it is not a good thing, at least I can suffer a little less.

There were screams and sounds of running outside the door, followed by a loud bang and the cell collapsed. My eyes went dark and I lost consciousness. I didn't know how long it took me to wake up, and the ground was no longer shaking, and there was silence everywhere. I fell to the ground, and a large boulder was diagonally above my head, just blocking the other falling rocks. I checked it and I wasn't seriously hurt except for the scrapes. Even more coincidentally, the chains that had passed through my lute bone and locked onto the rock wall were loose. I knew my chance had come, so I endured the pain and pulled the chain out of my shoulder, taking with me an unknown amount of flesh and blood. Then I rested for a while, tore off my clothes, bandaged it briefly, and crawled out of the cracks in the collapsed stone wall.

It was the first time I had left my cell since I was caught, and it was a narrow hallway outside, but it was mostly filled with stones and dirt. There was a separate cell every few dozen steps on either side of the aisle, but now most of them were twisted and collapsed. I staggered over and heard faint ** sounds in some of the cells through the cracks, but most of them were silent.

At this moment, the sound of digging came from the exit of the aisle, and someone was talking loudly. Apparently the original guards were cleaning this up. I had nowhere to run but to climb down the aisle and collect a few sharp stone chips ready to kill myself as soon as I was recaptured. The road down was getting wetter and wetter, and maybe I shouldn't have died, but after climbing a few hundred feet, I saw a dark river. I wanted to dig up the dungeon and dig up the groundwater, so I didn't fill it up, so I used it as a daily water. Voices are getting clearer, and the guards should have dug through the aisles. I didn't hesitate to plunge into the river and dive down the river. When the air in my lungs was running out and my brain was starting to dizzy from lack of oxygen, I saw a glimmer of light.

A moment later I was carried out by the river. Not daring to stay, I climbed ashore and ran desperately in one direction, running desperately until I ran out of strength and fainted again. After waking up, I continued to run, picking some wild fruits when I was hungry, and drinking some mountain springs when I was thirsty, so I ran in the mountains for a month, and I didn't know how far I ran, until I met this small mountain village, and the kind villagers took me in and cured my injuries.
