Heavenly prison.
Shitou has been depressed these days and is in a low mood.
Since Yun Que was taken away a few days ago and has not come back, Shitou resumed his meals of clear soup and water.
Without Yun Que, he wouldn't be able to eat meat or drink wine.
What makes Shitou particularly depressed is that since Yun Que was taken away, the daily release time in the prison has also been cancelled.
After being locked up in a cell all day, the stone was almost suffocating me. Fortunately, there was a hole dug in the wall. When I was bored, I could look at the beautiful women and pass the time.
After breakfast today, Shi Shi usually lay on the wall and watched Amei.
What he likes most is watching Amei take small sips of food, not to mention how beautiful it is.
However, at a glance, Shitou suddenly became shocked.
The woman next door was curled up on the ground, foaming at the mouth, and twitching in pain.
"Amei! Amei, what's wrong with you! Someone's here! Amei is sick! Someone, please help!"
The cry of the stone soon attracted the jailer from the sky prison.
After checking on Amei, the jailer hurried to report to the executioner.
Not long after, Li Shu arrived quickly, followed by a doctor from the Criminal Department.
Opening the cell door, Li Shu asked the doctor to quickly check on Amei's condition.
The doctor felt his pulse, his face became increasingly grim, and he whispered:
"Internal heat and external cold, qi and blood are steaming, which is a sign of sudden death! Sir, I am afraid that this prisoner will not survive today."
"Can it be cured?" Li Shu asked.
"This..." The doctor was embarrassed.
"Tell the truth." Li Shu said.
"It should be possible to save him, but my medical skills can't do it. I have to go to a big medical clinic in the city and use good medicine to have hope." The doctor said truthfully.
Normally, Tilao Si would not pay too much attention to this situation. He would just give him some decoction and he would be more likely to survive. If he did not survive, he would just throw the body into a mass grave outside the city.
There are many prisoners who died of illness in the sky jail.
But Li Shu looked anxious at the moment, gasping for breath, and said to himself in annoyance:
"Why did she get sick? Now we're in trouble..."
Amei is a very special prisoner.
The other prisoners didn't know Amei's origins, but Li Shu, as the executioner, knew all about it. If he didn't care about the other person's life or death, he would be easily implicated, and he might cause a big disaster!
After much hesitation, Li Shu ordered his men to carry Amei out of the prison, and called in ten experts from the Criminal Department. Li Shu personally took Amei out of the Criminal Department and rushed to the large medical center in the imperial city for treatment.
When he arrived at the medical clinic, Li Shu directly revealed his identity as a fourth-grade criminal officer and called for the doctor with the best medical skills. He spent a lot of money to give Amei the best medicine.
After some timely treatment, Amei's symptoms finally eased.
Li Shu's heart, which had always been on his mind, was finally relieved, and he stayed by the side with all the experts from the Punishment Department.
I don't know whether it was because he was in a relaxed mood or because he didn't sleep well last night. Li Shu sat in the private room of the medical clinic and yawned nonstop.
It didn't take long for the Tian Lao Ti executioner to fall into a deep sleep.
The ten experts from the Punishment Department next to them also fell into dreams one after another.
…
Early morning, Baihua Palace Dining Hall.
Qiongwu had a good appetite today. She drank a bowl of millet porridge and ate two steamed buns.
For the first time in these days, she ate so happily.
Because Yun Que was punished to go to the back mountain to face the wall.
Thinking that Yun Que had not had anything to eat for ten days, Qiong Wu felt very good.
After coming out of the dining hall and preparing to return to the south building to practice, a female student from my classmate came looking for me.
"Qiongwu! Someone is looking for you outside the academy gate."
"Find me?"
Qiong Wu immediately thought it was the male students who coveted him, so he said with a cold expression: "I don't have time."
He said and walked towards the south building.
"The other party said they were your family members." said the female student who delivered the message.
Qiongwu's steps suddenly stopped, he turned around in a hurry and rushed to the entrance of the academy.
Her family had died a few years ago, and there was only one left in the world.
Outside the academy gate, Qiongwu saw a figure wearing a small hat. The brim of the hat was very low, covering most of his face.
When Qiong Wu came closer, the man slowly raised his head, revealing a face that looked exactly like Qiong Wu's under the hat.
Qiongwu suddenly tensed up, his eyes were red, and his expression revealed a sense of excitement and guilt.
The visitor only whispered one sentence.
"I want to attack the sixth level."
After Qiong Wu heard this, he nodded heavily without hesitation.
…
On the mountain behind Xuegong, there is Wuxin Cliff.
Yun Que no longer thinks much about the saint's ruins because it is too far away.
The sea is big enough, and I may not be able to swim to the end in my life, regardless of whether there are flowers on the other side.
Yun Que was thinking about Yuxi at this time.
After the autopsy in the prison, Yun Que guessed that the palace had lost a valuable treasure, but he didn't expect it to be the jade seal.
This thing is useless to Yun Que, but to the emperor, it is the destiny of a country. The emperor has no seal, the throne is unstable, and the name is unfair.
Who stole the jade seal and hid it on Wuxin Cliff in the Academy?
Yun Que became more and more curious about the identity of the thief.
This man, with an extremely keen mind, hid the jade seal behind the sage's handwriting, so that no one could imagine it, let alone find it.
Even if I searched the academy, I couldn't find any trace of the jade seal.
The saint's ruins are not easy to move, so it was only a newly arrived young man like Yun Que who didn't know the rules, and two reckless men like Tu Su Manshen, who happened to crash the rock.
Yun Que had previously speculated that the murderer was from the temple and held an official position, but now he added another clue.
If the other party can hide the jade seal on Wuxin Cliff, it means that he is from the academy.
Although the scope has narrowed, it is still difficult to identify the real culprit.
Because there are many children of officials and officials in the academy, and many of the students from the academy are officials in the current dynasty.
School rules:
No one else is allowed to enter without permission, and only students can leave the academy. The students mentioned here naturally include all previous students who have left the academy after completing their studies.
In fact, Yun Que was not very curious about the identity of the murderer. After all, what was lost was not his own belongings.
Yun Que just felt strange why the murderer stole the jade seal.
This thing can't be sold at all!
No one dares to buy it, so it’s worthless. What’s the use of stealing it?
Yun Que could never guess the murderer's purpose.
Then Yun Que began to think about how to deal with Yuxi.
To everyone, the jade seal is actually useless and cannot be exchanged for money.
However, it is a treasure to the emperor!
Only by handing the jade seal to the emperor can we get the greatest benefits.
"I'll keep it for now and talk about it later when I have a chance."
Yun Que muttered to himself.
It was already daybreak, and Tu Su and Man Shen beside them were so hungry that their stomachs screamed.
"It's only one day, and there are still nine days left. If I don't eat in nine days, I will starve to death!"
Tu Su wailed.
"If it doesn't work, let's continue eating grass!" Manshen suggested: "If Dahan finds it difficult to swallow, just swallow it! As long as you don't chew it, it won't taste bad."
While the two of them were sighing, Yun Que had already gone to dig sweet potatoes.
Tu Su and Man Shen looked strange and asked:
"We are not allowed to eat the grand sacrificial wine, how dare you eat it?"
"We have caused a big disaster. It is no longer easy to stay in the academy. We can't make any more mistakes."
Yun Que chuckled twice, dug out a sweet potato and said:
"You still don't believe me when I say you are stupid. What did the Grand Priest Wine say yesterday?"
Tu Su scratched his head and said, "We are not allowed to eat roasted sweet potatoes these days while we are facing the wall!"
"Yes, the Grand Ceremony Wine says that roasted sweet potatoes are not allowed to be eaten. Can sweet potatoes only be eaten roasted? They can also be eaten boiled, steamed, stewed, or raw." Yun Que said with a smile: "If you are happy, I It can also be made into shredded sweet potatoes and eaten.”
Tu Su and Man Shen suddenly realized what they said, and they slapped their heads.
"Yunque, you are still smart! Why didn't I think of that!"
"I don't eat roasted sweet potatoes, I eat them raw!"
The two of them got into the haystack and started digging sweet potatoes.
Yunque knew that sweet potatoes could indeed be eaten raw. Raw sweet potatoes had a crunchy texture and a slight sweetness, which was enough to satisfy their hunger.
But eating raw sweet potatoes three times a day for several days will make anyone feel bored.
"I really want to eat boiled sweet potatoes." Tu Su lamented.
There is no shortage of Huozhezi, both Tusu and Manshen have them, but there is no water in the back mountain.
"Just wait until it rains. There's nothing we can do." Yun Que said.
"It's been three days and there hasn't been any rain. When can I wait? Where can I get some water... By the way!"
Tu Su had an idea, patted his belly and said, "We already have water in our body! If we pee in a day, it's enough to cook sweet potatoes!"
When Yun Que heard this, his eyes widened and he yelled angrily:
"Khan, get away from me! Don't let me eat the food you handle in the future! I won't touch it even if I starve to death!"
Tu Suhan smiled and scratched his head and said:
"It's a bit disgusting! I wish I could learn the Red Flame Fist. I can ripen sweet potatoes with just two punches!"
"Red Flame Fist? What kind of skill? Let's talk about it." Yun Que became interested.
"A profound boxing technique! The gentleman from Yanwu Hall taught it once last year, but unfortunately I didn't understand it well enough to learn it." Tu Su sighed.
"Sir, I have demonstrated that a punch can ignite a burst of flames! It's scary!" Man Shen added next to him.
"Have you also been to the Martial Arts Hall to eavesdrop?"
After Yun Que finished speaking, the two of them laughed and scratched their heads, admitting that they would occasionally slip by, but as long as they weren't caught by Xuezheng, it was fine.
"The fist generates flames, isn't that a magic spell?" Yun Que asked puzzledly.
"It's not magic, it's pure boxing!" Tu Su recalled: "I remember what my husband said at the time was that using boxing to shake out the power of the five elements between heaven and earth, and using Qi machine to fuse the fire spirit, the fist and fire can merge and perform Use the red flame fist technique."
Yun Que listened with rapt attention and said:
"Martial arts can actually use the power of the five elements! What kind of shock method is it?"
The two big faces of Tu Su and Man Shen looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.
If it could shake, they would have learned it long ago.
Yun Que sighed.
Two mallets, asking questions was in vain. When the punishment of facing the wall was over, I would definitely go to the library of Yanwu Palace to take a look.
Warriors are innately obsessed with martial arts.
Of course Yun Que is no exception.
After learning about Gao's martial arts skills, Yun Que felt itchy in his heart and wished he could plunge into the library and not come out for a year.
"Actually, it doesn't matter whether a seventh-grade martial artist learns boxing or not. We can also beat people with Bastard Boxing. The key is to attack the resources of sixth-grade martial arts. It's really a headache."
Tu Su didn't know what he thought of and sighed.
"You have been in the seventh rank for some years, right? How are you preparing to attack the sixth rank?" Yun Que asked.
"Ready!" Man Shen said with high spirits.
"Real or false!" Yun Que said in surprise.
"I'm physically ready, but I don't have the money!" Manshen said forcefully.
"How much does it cost?" Yun Que asked.
"It is said that it must be at least one number!" Tu Subi measured it on his fingers.
"Ten thousand taels?" Yun Que said.
Tu Su and Man Shen shook their heads together.
"It actually costs one hundred thousand taels. It's really too expensive." Yun Que smacked his tongue.
The two were still shaking their heads.
Yun Que widened his eyes and said, "How much money is enough to break into the Grand Master Realm?"
Tu Su and Man Shen said in unison:
"One million taels!"
Yun Que was stunned on the spot.
One million taels, this astronomical figure has never occurred to him, let alone come into contact with it.
"This is just the money for body tempering materials. Without excellent talent and solid cultivation, you can't become a grandmaster even if you have money." Tu Su said.
"The Grandmaster realm is actually somewhat similar to the ninth-grade and eighth-grade body and bone refining, which is equivalent to a higher level of tempering the body. The teacher said that if you want to become a grandmaster, you must wash away all the worldly things and temper the body to be spotless before you have a chance. "Man Shen recalled.
"Yes! I also remembered it. The teacher said that the body is tempered by golden sand and wrapped in spiritual energy!" Tu Su said.
Yun Que had never been exposed to a high-level realm before. He became more and more curious and asked:
"What does it mean to be wrapped in golden sand body-tempering spiritual energy? Please explain it carefully."
"Golden sand body-tempering refers to golden sand grass, which is a must-have for seventh-level warriors. A small piece costs five hundred taels! It can be used to make a medicinal bath to slowly temper the body." Tu Su said.
"Surrounding the body with spiritual energy means wrapping the physical body with pure spiritual energy. The spiritual energy gradually penetrates the whole body to achieve the effect of spiritual energy tempering. There are too few places with spiritual energy, so they are usually replaced by spiritual stones. A small piece of spiritual stone is worth one Thousand taels!" Man Shen said.
Yun Que let out a long sigh after learning the materials needed to reach the Grandmaster realm.
The sixth-grade grandmaster realm is simply a bottomless pit for burning money!
A few days after Yun Que was punished to face the wall of Wuxin Cliff, Mu Qingyao finally ended his ten-day confinement.
The little princess gritted her teeth and slowly moved out of the dungeon.
It is indeed a move.
The left hand is holding the left trouser leg, and the right hand is holding the right trouser leg.
Finally seeing the light of day again, Mu Qingyao almost burst into tears, her eyes filled with tears, her mouth pursed, looking aggrieved.
In these ten days, the senior sister did not let her go.
Every day he either fights, kicks, or practices boxing.
I haven't learned any boxing skills, but my splitting skills are very effective.
Now Princess Lingyun has a new ability, and she can easily make a one-word horse.
With her heart full of grievances, Mu Qingyao climbed to the star observatory at the highest point of Sitian Prison.
She wanted to see Master for comment.
The most important thing is to let Master help rescue Yun Que.
Mu Qingyao didn't know that during the ten days she was banned, Yun Que's life trajectory had undergone earth-shaking changes. His identity jumped from a prisoner in the sky prison to a student in the academy, but his situation did not change and he was always in a state of detention.
