Tianxing Peak, dungeon
Tianxing Peak has the most heavily guarded prison in the entire Xu Kingdom, where felons from all over the Xu Kingdom are imprisoned. Even those with the lowest level of cultivation are at the foundation-building stage.
However, few people know that the location of this dungeon is actually built somewhere on the mountainside. One of the exits is only a few feet away from the Tianxing Hall where the head of the Law Enforcement Yuan is located.
Master Jin Dan personally guards the place, and coupled with the many mechanisms and restrictions inside, no matter who enters the dungeon, they will have no choice but to accept their fate and wait for the final judgment.
On this day, the three-foot-high black door slowly opened, and He Shouxin personally accompanied him and led a young man into the prison.
Going down the stairs along the winding bluestone road, in the dark and damp corridor, there are faint sounds of cursing, begging for mercy or shouting injustice. The sounds were high and low, and the distances were far and near. It was obvious that these cells were not built in one place, but were scattered in various directions according to a certain formation.
After about a cup of tea, the young man came to a cell with "Yi Zi Di Shiqi" hanging on it. He stopped and looked at the prisoners huddled inside.
"Zhao Lian, someone saw you coming." A jailer opened the cell door, shouted, and then retreated out together at He Shouxin's signal.
Zhao Lian's hair was fluffy and his face was covered with dirt. He slowly opened his one eye and stared at the young man standing in front of him.
"Yang - Jane -"
As he murmured this name that he once held deep hatred for, his eyes were cold at this moment, showing no trace of excitement, and he seemed to have no hatred.
"You win." He sneered, with self-mockery on his face.
I thought that by creating a massacre on the other's wedding day, I would give this enemy a severe slap in the face. However, I never expected that when the three of them were escorted out of the mine, a message came from a luxurious airship. Deafening cheers:
"Mr. Yang, you caught the murderer so quickly, well done!"
"The groom is so powerful!"
"Young hero!"
It turns out that he is actually a clown, and after a hard performance, he finally achieved the reputation of the other party!
Zhao Lian was heartbroken.
After losing the bargaining capital, his judgment was quickly made——
Punishment!
That is to say, being cut into pieces by a thousand cuts in the mortal world, but the punishment in the world of immortality is not only being cut into pieces by a thousand cuts on the body, but also the soul!
The pain is many times greater than the former, and after the soul is torn into thousands of pieces, with Zhao Lian's cultivation in the foundation-building period, it is impossible to reunite it. All he can do is destroy his soul and soul, and fall into reincarnation forever!
This is the most cruel punishment in the world of immortality.
The execution date is tomorrow!
…
Zhao Lian never thought that Yang Zhen would come to see him before he died.
No matter what the other party's mentality is, he no longer cares.
However, there is one person whose fate worries him all the time.
"My mother, how is my mother? Have you made things difficult for him?" He raised his head, with a hint of longing and uneasiness in his eyes.
"Why don't you ask about the situation of your two companions?" Yang Zhen smiled slightly.
"The life and death of those two people has nothing to do with me!" Zhao Lian said disdainfully, his tone already a bit urgent: "Yang Zhen, my mother, what happened to my mother? No one here wants to tell me, you must know ,right?"
"Zhao Li, behead him. After his death, his body will be taken back and buried by his relatives." Yang Zhen said slowly: "Nie Xiaochu, he will be sent to serve in the Hanzhou Demon Suppression Palace Army and be included in the death row camp. If he survives three deadly battles, he will be exempted from guilt."
"Nie Xiaochu is not dead?" Zhao Lian was greatly surprised, and there was hope in his heart: "Where is my mother, is she also a matchmaker?"
Yang Zhen stood with her hands behind her hands and looked at the other party coldly.
Zhao Lian suddenly woke up, struggled to get up, turned over and lay on the ground, his hands tightly tied behind his back by the spirit lock.
"Bang bang bang!" The blood instantly stained his forehead, and he wailed: "Yang Zhen, I couldn't help you in the past, and I apologize to you. You must have a way to save my mother's life, right? I can see it. , then Nie Xiaochu was framed. You sympathized with him and helped him find a way to survive. You must have a way for my mother, right? I beg you, Yang Zhen, Young Master Yang, Brother Yang— —”
The voice was sad and tears welled up.
"If I had known today, why bother?" Yang Zhen sighed and said, "Don't worry, your mother is not dead. She was sent to a far away place. There are many poor people like her there, and no one will go there. Care about her past. There she can start over, start over completely, and no longer have to bear the sins you left her..."
"Really?" Zhao Lian said in surprise.
Yang Zhen nodded and continued: "Besides, there are many girls and boys there. With your mother's age and appearance, she can definitely find a good man and start a new life. Maybe it won't be long before you have a younger brother. Or sister. Of course, you’ll never see them again…”
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Upon hearing this, Zhao Lian couldn't bear it any longer and put his face to the ground, sobbing loudly.
In the bluestone space, through a dull light curtain, a mother who was about to lose her son was also crying heartbreakingly, calling her son's name...
She stretched out her hand several times, wanting to touch her son's cheek through the light curtain in front of her. However, the distance that seemed to be a few feet away was actually separated by endless void!
This is the shortest distance in the world, and it is also the farthest distance, out of reach!
"Lian'er, my Lian'er..." The woman burst into tears.
Yang Zhen finally spared her life because she wanted to repay her kindness. If it weren't for her persistence, Zhao Yuzhu and others would probably have died that day.
She is not a vicious person. If these grudges can be washed away, she can become an ordinary person again.
So Yang Zhen, through Mu Zixue, sent this woman to the bluestone space after some operations.
In fact, it was not just Wang Suhua. During these days, he was also checking files from various parts of Xu State to find those prisoners who had unforgivable crimes but excusable circumstances, especially female nuns, and tried to find ways to buy them out. , or exoneration, sent into the space in various ways to balance the imbalanced gender ratio in the space.
He came here this time actually because of Wang Suhua's request to see Zhao Lian for the last time.
"Is there anything else you want to say to your mother? I can tell you." Yang Zhen said.
Zhao Lian burst into tears and hesitated for a long time, but finally shook his head:
"Let my mother start over. Just pretend that there was never a son like me..."
In the space, Wang Suhua could no longer bear it: "My son..."
He screamed miserably and fainted.
"One thing," Yang Zhen asked: "Zhao Ying had a rift with you, and you killed her at that time. Why did you destroy her face, even her private parts, and insult her like this?"
】
Zhao Lian stopped crying and had an angry look on his face.
"This woman is humiliating my mother!"
"She humiliated your mother?" Yang Zhenqi asked.
"When my mother was working at the fourth elder's house, this woman would often beat and scold my mother, humiliate her, and deduct my mother's remuneration. Later, after hearing that my mother had gone to the mine to look for me, this woman immediately guessed who I was. What happened to my mother, so I called my mother a piece of shit, a broken shoe, shameless..."
Yang Zhen was stunned. If he hadn't seen Zhao Lian gnashing his teeth and looking like he was not showing off, he would have almost punched him!
"How is that possible!" He shouted: "I have met Zhao Ying several times. She is polite, quiet and elegant. She is no longer the arrogant and unreasonable person she used to be? Are you mistaken?"
"Hahaha——" Zhao Lian looked up to the sky and laughed: "Yang Zhen, Yang Zhen, the more you mix in the sect, the better you get. Not only did you become an inner disciple, you later became a party and had your own fiefdom. Then Zhao Ying only I regret that I offended you because I was blind and allowed Zhao Yue'er to take away her destiny."
"She wants to please you wholeheartedly and wants you to favor her, so how can she let you see her dark and despicable side? If you don't believe me, you might as well go back and ask about her personal maid, the one named Luzhi. Do you still remember?"
"Remember," Yang Zhen nodded: "I didn't see her when I went back this time. How is she now?"
"Of course you can't see her anymore, she's already dead, haha! She was beaten to death by her master Zhao Ying. My mother was outside the door and heard it with her own ears. That Luzhi seemed to have mentioned your name , without saying anything, Zhao Ying suddenly became furious and punched and kicked Luzhi. Luzhi was just a mortal, so he couldn't bear her kicking and beating, and she died at that time..."
"Tell me, is it hateful that a wicked woman like her actually robbed me of my opportunity? Should she be killed? Hahaha——"
Zhao Lian looked ferocious and laughed maniacally, as if a ghost was crying or a wolf was howling.
…
Yang Zhen did not stay any longer and left this dark dungeon.
When he walked out of the cell door and the sun bathed his whole body again, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, looked up at the sky, and was speechless.
The voices, looks, and fortunes of Zhao Lian and Zhao Ying, from the time they met when they were young until now, flashed before his eyes like scenes of a drama.
Zhao Ying was born into a wealthy family and had a good family background, but she developed a character of flattering superiors and bullying subordinates. Otherwise, if she could treat Zhao Lian's mother with the same attitude as herself, care more about him, show kindness, and repay her kindness with Wang Suhua's character, how could she be tortured and killed?
Maybe he would survive and escape.
Zhao Lian, this person's conditions are not bad. His three spiritual root qualifications exceed more than 80% of the monks in the world. He is also quite talented in formations. He even has another adventure after falling into the mine. This is simply the protagonist's luck. .
If he could broaden his horizons, stop obsessing over his hatred, and devote himself to practice, he might not be able to achieve great achievements in the future.
It's a pity that these two people ended up in the same place by different routes!
All living beings are ups and downs in the sea of worldly desires. They should not be carried away by a moment of success, nor should they give up because of a moment of sinking.
Otherwise, their fate will be Yin Jian!
Today’s result is yesterday’s cause!
I, Yang Zhen, should take this as a warning!
