The last resort of the leader of the Red Lotus is not just to bluff people.
Rather, it is an insidious and strange curse seal that can be imprinted on living people.
At this moment, the lotus mark on Yun Que's heart was as clear as if it were carved on his skin and could not be wiped off or erased.
The lotus-like brand reminded Yun Que of the disappeared demon soul.
Yun Que finally knew the true power of the soul curse of the Red Lotus Cult Master.
Seal the soul!
If you are a normal person, once you are hit by the soul curse, your soul will be instantly sealed and you will become an unconscious living dead!
Whether he can wake up is unknown.
The purpose of this soul spell is to seal Mu Qingyao's soul.
If Princess Lingyun's soul is sealed, even if she does not die, her soul will be damaged. Even if the seal can be unlocked in the future, she will probably be disabled and it will be difficult for her to remain sane.
After all, the little princess doesn't have any cultivation now. Such a soul curse will definitely hurt the soul. If she becomes half-mad and half-stupid and becomes a useless person, it would be better to die immediately.
Fortunately, Yun Que used his body to block the soul curse.
It was equivalent to saving Mu Qingyao's life.
Coincidentally, Yun Que was accompanied by a demon soul, and all the power of the soul curse fell on the demon soul, sealing it.
Yun Que's own soul was unscathed.
This is also the real reason why Yun Que can't feel any damage despite being cursed by the Red Lotus Cult Master's soul.
After thinking about all this, Yun Que became very angry at the cruelty of the leader of the Red Lotus.
At the same time, I felt an indescribable strange feeling.
The accompanying demon soul is a powerful assistance to the demon hunter, and it is also a heavy shackles on the demon hunter.
The saying "A knife cuts a man and a man dies" is not just a saying, but a real and tragic result.
What Yun Que is carrying is a fate that has been set long ago and cannot be changed.
But the soul curse from the leader of the Red Lotus accidentally sealed the demon soul.
Seal this shackles!
Without the demon soul, Yun Que became an ordinary eighth-level warrior.
Without the demon soul, Yun Que had the opportunity to feel like a normal person!
Although this opportunity cannot last forever, for a demon hunter like Yun Que who came from the Demon Slaying Division of the previous dynasty, it is something he has never experienced before in his life.
He has been with demons since he was born, sleeping with demons, and gradually regarded himself as a monster.
Not to mention playing with other kids his age.
Yun Que knew that he was different from a very young age, and he also wanted to play with the children on the street.
Ever since he accidentally lost control of his power and strangled a monster to death, Yun Que knew that he couldn't play as much as other children.
He was afraid that he might accidentally strangle some of the children to death.
The uncontrollable power of demons is the bitterness buried deep in the hearts of demon hunters.
No one can understand except among the demon hunters.
But today, after Yun Que lost his demon soul, he felt relaxed all over.
Patting the lotus mark on his heart, Yun Que felt relaxed.
He hoped that the power of the seal would last longer, so that the monster could fall into slumber forever.
"Ha! Free at last!"
Yun Que stretched out his arms and muttered happily to himself: "I can't get out now. I want you to always giggle with me! If you giggle again, I'll still laugh! You old monster, go ahead and dream!" Hee hee, hahaha!”
Yun Que was talking to himself, imitating the tone of the demon soul.
When he turned around, he saw the strong man in prison looking at him with wide eyes and a horrified look on his face.
When the strong man noticed that Yun Que turned around, he immediately rolled his eyes and continued to lie down without daring to move.
Getting beaten up is nothing.
Being beaten in the sky jail is a common occurrence. As a frequent visitor to the jail, the strong man knows one rule very well.
Don't be afraid of those with heavy hands, just be afraid of those who are sick!
If you encounter someone with heavy hands, you will most likely be beaten to death; if you encounter someone who is sick, you will easily be beaten to death!
After dawn, prison meals are distributed in the jail.
There were only two meals a day, morning and evening, and nothing to eat at noon.
The meal consisted of clear soup but little water, two thick noodle buns, a bowl of vegetable soup, and a few large pickles.
Not to mention the meat, you can't even see any oil or water.
Yun Que has a big appetite.
Martial arts have always been like this. Cultivation requires energy. If you don't eat enough, you won't have strength.
Yun Que wasn't picky about food and could eat anything, but the prison food was so little that he couldn't even get half full after two portions.
When Yun Que ate up all the portion of the strong man in prison, the prisoner couldn't bear it any longer. He got up and came closer and said:
"Boss, please leave some soup for me. I haven't eaten anything all night and I'm hungry."
The strong man begged with a frown on his face, his tone became humble, and his title was changed from "boy" yesterday to "boss".
Yun Que threw the last thick noodle bun over.
The strong man was overjoyed, thanked him profusely, and ate up the food in a few mouthfuls.
"Thank you, boss! My name is Shitou. If you have any orders from the boss in the future, just tell me!" the strong man said with a sneer on his face.
With nothing to do, Yun Que looked at the other party and asked:
"I've lived there for a few years."
"Half a year, but I'm familiar with this place! I come in every now and then, hehe." Shitou said with a smile.
"He's a frequent visitor to Tianlao. He's not a bad guy. Who do you think he is?" Yun Que said.
"Small business, hehe, the young one is a bookkeeper." Shitou said.
"It turns out to be a debt collector." Yun Duo nodded and said, "Is there a way out?"
"Mr. Accountant" is not a literal meaning, but a slang term used by people in the world.
This stone is a debt collector, equivalent to a civilized thug.
Everyone was happy to receive the debt, but when they couldn't receive it, they could only fight with fists and kicks.
People like Shitou, who hang out on the edge of black and white and often hurt others, naturally become a frequent visitor to Tianlao.
"This is the Imperial City's Heavenly Prison. There is no way out, but a small person like me really can't reach such a high level of connections." Shitou said bitterly.
Yun Que stopped paying attention to the other party and lay on the wooden bed waiting for news about Mu Qingyao.
At noon, although there was no lunch, the prisoners had an opportunity to go out for a walk, which lasted for half an hour.
The stone went out, but Yun Que couldn't.
New prisoners need to be released for three months before they can be released.
When the stone came back, he took out a secretly hidden stone from his sleeve, one finger long.
Then he dug out an iron nail from the straw under the bed.
Yun Que looked curious and asked, "Want to escape from prison?"
Shitou quickly shook his head vigorously and said:
"For such a small crime, I will be imprisoned for at most a year and a half! If I escape from prison, I will be caught before I get out and my head will be chopped off. I am not stupid."
"You're both nails and rocks, what do you want to do?" Yun Que said.
"Hey, let's see something good! When we succeed, let the boss see it first!"
Shitou finished speaking mysteriously and lifted a piece of straw covering the wall.
A hole was dug in the wall, but it was not dug through, and it was unknown whether there was anything interesting to see in the cell next door.
Because the hole in the wall was dug deep and the nails were too short to continue digging, Shi Shi found a way to bring in rocks and planned to tie the rocks and nails together to extend the nails and continue digging.
As a result, he tinkered for a long time, tying it with straw and using strips of cloth from his clothes, but he still couldn't connect the stones and nails.
Shitou threw away the stone in frustration and muttered: "It can't be tied, it's not long enough, what can I do?"
"Are there no other nails? Find a few more." Yun Que said.
"No, I finally got this nail." Shitou scratched his head.
Anyway, with nothing to do in the prison, Yun Que asked for the nails and dug out five taels of silver from his boots.
The money was earned while performing a show of swallowing a knife, and Yun Que deliberately hid it in his boots on the way to the prison.
There is something hidden in the other shoe, which is Mu Qingyao's academy identity token.
Yun Que decided that he had to keep this secret for the rest of his life. Otherwise, if Princess Lingyun knew about it, she might never need the token again.
Seeing Yun Que take out the silver, Shitou shook his head and said:
"No way, boss, the silver is too soft, and it's still broken silver, and it can't be tied up... Oops!"
Before Shitou finished speaking, Yun Que closed his five fingers and made a fist. When he opened his palm again, the broken silver was directly crushed into a strip.
Shitou was surprised by such strength, but then he still shook his head and said:
"It would be nice to make a handle out of silver and connect it to a nail, but you still can't dig the wall and it will break if you use force."
Yun Que didn't say anything. He inserted the nail into the silver bar and made a fist again.
Then Shitou heard a slight crunching sound from Yun Que's fist.
Soon, Yun Que opened his palms.
The silver bar has become about the same thickness as a nail and is firmly connected to the nail.
Fifty taels of broken silver, when combined together, is quite a lot. A normal person can hold it in one punch.
But the silver bar at this moment is more than ten times smaller than before!
Yun Que took the newly made silver nail and scratched it on the wall, directly making a mark.
Very strong.
"It's done, keep digging."
Yun Que threw the silver nail to the other party and said, "The nail belongs to me, I'm just lending it to you."
Shitou caught it quickly and said in surprise:
"The boss turns out to have some cultivation!"
Naturally, a man like Shitou had seen monks and even warriors before. The power Yun Que showed was equivalent to using a hammer to smash a piece of silver into smaller pieces, making it stronger.
It is definitely a skill that only a martial artist has!
Shitou secretly rejoiced.
Fortunately, he didn't go too far yesterday and only received a kick from someone. If this really angered the warrior, beating him half to death would be considered easy.
Just as he was about to continue digging, there were footsteps outside the cell.
Shitou hurriedly put away his things, leaned on the iron door and took a look outside. He immediately shrank his neck and hurried back to the bed to sit down.
"Master Li, who is investigating the prison! The Ministry of Punishment appoints a criminal officer and is in charge of the prison. This person is petty and likes to wear small shoes for others. Don't mess with him!"
Shitou whispered.
Not long after, a man in his fifties, wearing a fourth-grade official uniform, walked up to Yun Que's cell.
"You are Yun Que."
This person held a roster and compared it to Yun Que.
"Exactly." Yun Que said.
During a routine prison inspection, Yun Que would naturally not be too troublesome and would just say whatever he wanted.
Lord Li frowned, looked at the roster, then looked at Yun Que, and said:
"Three hundred and nineteen lives are at stake, and what you did is not trivial."
When Stone next to him heard this, his big face turned pale with fright, and his eyes were horrified.
He wanted to pay debts and break other people's hands and feet. He spent a year and a half in jail and then got out. Unexpectedly, the person he lived with turned out to be a murderer!
"It's okay." Yun Que said calmly.
There is no need to explain much, because it is unnecessary. The other party’s official position cannot convict him, let alone be accommodating.
Master Li snorted coldly and continued to look at the roster, his brows always furrowed.
He was a little unsure about the background of the murderer in front of him, because the name on the roster was marked as 'pending trial'.
The meaning of pending trial is much more complicated.
It may be a death sentence, or it may be innocent, but there must be something hidden in it.
This kind of criminal is rarely seen by Mr. Li, who is a criminal judge. Moreover, the annotation to be tried is the intention of the superiors, and he has no right to interfere at all.
After checking the roster and confirming that it was correct, Mr. Li was about to leave when he suddenly saw a line of small words at the end of Yun Que's identity introduction.
Hidden stone town works.
"Are you a gangster?"
Master Li asked calmly.
"Yes." Yun Que replied simply.
Mr. Li glanced at the empty rice bowl in the cell and said in a strange tone: "Will there be an autopsy?"
