Although Jiang Shuo is not afraid of strange poisons like Guangming Salt, his body is not invulnerable to all poisons. The medicine Quan Xingjian put in the warm soup was not poison, it just paralyzed him and did not damage the meridians or internal organs. Therefore, The Jade Art in Jiang Shuo's body did not have any effect.
Jiang Shuo woke up again, only to feel that there was darkness around him, and he didn't know where he was. He touched his hands and feet, and there were no locks such as shackles. After a little exercise, his inner breath was flowing freely, and he didn't seem to be poisoned. It seemed that he had just been What was given was a narcotic that caused drowsiness.
After Jiang Shuo swallowed the Black and White Dragon Pills, his eyesight was far beyond that of ordinary people. He could see things with only the faint light. After he got used to it in the darkness for a while, he could vaguely see something.
This is a stone room, with damp and cold stones everywhere within reach. Jiang Shuo took a few steps and found that the stone room was about one foot long, but only six or seven feet wide. One corner of the ground was raised a little. It looks like a stone bed.
He jumped slightly and his head immediately hit the rock on top. It turned out that the height of the stone room was only slightly higher than his height.
This stone room can be said to be quite boring. Jiang Shuo waited for a while and felt that there was a faint light penetrating into this stone room. It turned out that there was actually a small window hole in the center of one wall, but because of this, It was night, and the stone window was extremely deep. Jiang Shuo didn't notice it at first.
This window hole is only one foot square, and it is absolutely impossible to get out from here. He reached out and groped in the window hole, but couldn't touch the outside. It seemed that the stone here was very thick, at least longer than a person's arm. No wonder the starlight in the night sky could not shine out of this stone room.
Jiang Shuo touched an iron door on the stone wall opposite the window opening. He was delighted. The surrounding stone walls seemed to be extremely hard and could not be destroyed. The iron door might be weak.
Jiang Shuo used his arms to hit the iron door hard, but there was only a muffled sound. It seemed that the iron door was very thick. Jiang Shuo used his full strength to hit the iron door again, except for the shock to his palm. Apart from the pain, the iron gate did not waver. It seemed that the iron gate was so strong that it could not be broken through by humans.
Jiang Shuo heard the sound made after hitting the iron door just now, like hitting a huge copper bell. The lingering sound lingered for a long time. It seemed that there was a quite large space behind the iron door.
Jiang Shuo still refused to give up, wondering where the hinge of the iron gate was. He clapped his palms on the left and right sides of the iron gate. The iron gates were generally motionless. He couldn't help but wonder if the iron gate opened and closed up and down. He dug at the cracks in the door with his fingers, but the iron door fit perfectly with the stone floor below, and his fingers couldn't fit in. He put his shoulders on the iron door and tried to lift it up, but it was useless.
All his efforts were of no use except making the iron gate rattle. Jiang Shuo was confused - why did Quan Xingjian poison them?
Why didn't you kill him after you knocked him unconscious but locked him up here? What happened to Pu Gu, Cheng Ang, Dugu Xiang, Ye Qingyao and the Huihe people? I wonder if there are other prisons here?
Are they all locked up here too? While Jiang Shuo was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard a muffled voice outside: "The new rat, why is it so noisy? Stop fussing, no one can break out of this dark prison, so why not Save some energy and sleep a little longer." Jiang Shuo couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this voice, and said: "Brother Xiao, why are you here?" But the man still yelled at himself, Jiang Shuo secretly cursed himself for being stupid, this stone room and The iron gate is extremely thick, so how can you hear anything you say casually? He was so angry that his Dantian was filled with anger, and Luck shouted: "Brother Xiao, it's me!" Jiangshuo! "The shouts vibrated back and forth in the small stone room. It was like hitting himself with internal force, shaking him so much that he couldn't stop shaking.
Now the man could hear it, and he said happily: "Young Master, why did you find him?" It turned out to be Xiao Dayou, the leader of the Cao Clan and the East Clan.
Jiang Shuo thought to himself that Xiao Dayou's inner strength was much worse than his own, so how could he listen to him without any effort? Another person said: "Nan Jiyun comes to see you, young master. Where are you, young master?" Jiang Shuo said: "Nan Ba, it turns out you are here too. Hey... I am locked up in a dark prison. How are you? Nan Jiyun sighed and said, "Young Master, how come you were captured too?" At this time, more people joined in,
"Lu Jiong meets the young master!"
"Lu Yuxuan pays homage to the young master!"
"Xie Yanchang pays homage to the young master!" Jiang Shuo said: "It turns out that Lao Xie, Lu Lang, and Brother Lu are all here, but where are you?" It's just Pu Gu, Cheng Ang, Dugu Xiang, Ye Qingyao and others. None of them were here. Jiang Shuo felt strange and relieved at the same time. What was strange was that he was the only one who was arrested today.
Thankfully it appears everyone else escaped. But he couldn't help but worry, because before he fainted, he saw Ye Qingyao throwing himself on the case. Ye Qingyao drank the warm soup from Quan Xingjian's house like himself. Could it be that someone else escaped and took him with him? saved?
Or maybe she has been killed or hasn't woken up yet? Jiang Shuo only felt that there were so many things that were inextricably linked. At this moment, it was even more difficult to speak with inner strength in this small stone room. His head was spinning, and when he heard other people speaking, they were not only soft but also unclear. .
Lu Yuxuan was the most attentive, and based on the sound of Jiang Shuo's words, he inferred that he was shouting at the iron door, and said to Jiang Shuo: "Young master, don't shout at the door, talk to the window." Jiang Shuo walked to the window opening, He said to the outside world: "Why can't you hear me when you speak outside the window?" At this time, he faintly heard the echo. He didn't use his inner strength, but he could still hear his own voice. It turned out that the reason why everyone's words sounded vague before was Caused by the echo in the mountains.
Lu Yuxuan said: "Young Master, it is just before dawn, when the sky is the darkest, so you can't see clearly outside. There is a deep pit outside the window. During the day, you can see the rock wall on the opposite side through the window hole." Nan Jiyun also said : "Young Master, the sound can bounce off the rock wall. As long as you find the right angle, even if you speak softly, it can be heard in other people's ears." Jiang Shuo was confused. Before he could ask, he heard Lu Yuxuan say: "The valley in this mountain is amazing. It's not a natural place, but something left by someone who dug up the mountain here to discover 'carboniferous'. Based on this, it can be deduced that this place should be in Linyou in Qishan Mountain." Jiang Shuo asked: "I only know that pine wood can make carbon. How? Can stones also be used to make charcoal?" Xie Yanchang said, "Young master, I don't know. Charcoal is not refined. Charcoal is quarried from the mountains. The ancient Zhou people thought that charcoal was a black stone and chose the harder ones for carvings. It is called "coal essence". After that, some people refined pebbles, and the smoke condensed into black ash, which was a good material for making ink. It was called "coal soot". Since this dynasty, pebbles were burned in the palace for heating, and Taoist priests burned pebbles to make elixirs. Coal burns when exposed to fire. It is extremely easy to burn. It is more powerful than charcoal and burns for a longer time. People in the world call it 'coal'." Jiang Shuo asked, "So that's the case, but I am ignorant." He then added. : "Is this coal very rare?" Xie Yanchang asked: "As far as I know, the only coal producing area near Chang'an is Linyou County in Qishan Mountain." Jiang Shuo said: "As expected, we are in Qishan Mountain, but we are in Qishan Mountain. Why does Jian want to harm me?" Xie Yanchang said: "Young Master, how can Quan Xingjian harm you?" Jiang Shuo detailed the strange things that happened in the house today, and also expressed his doubts about Quan Xingjian.
Lu Yuxuan said: "It seems that Quan Xingjian has been bribed by the Li Lin Mansion a long time ago. He almost lost the first battle in the acupuncture competition at the Beizhen Temple. I'm afraid it was also intentional. I just didn't expect that you, young master, would suddenly show up. In the end, we won the battle of medical skills." The group of heroes arrived a few days earlier than Jiang Shuo, and they had been speculating about where this place was and why they were imprisoned here. At this moment, listening to Jiang Shuo and Lu Yuxuan's exchanges, they knew what was going on here. The person in charge was probably Quan Xingjian, and he started gnashing his teeth and cursing.
Unknowingly, the window hole was slightly exposed to light. Jiang Shuo put his eyes on the window hole and looked out. Sure enough, he saw a large arc-shaped cliff not far away. The rocks were neither red nor brown, but black and gray. Thinking that this was 'charcoal', Jiang Shuo looked at his hands again and saw that they were stained with a lot of black ash. Sure enough, the entire stone chamber was filled with black charcoal.
Looking at the four walls of the stone chamber and the six sides of the sky and the earth, the four walls and the sky and the earth are all the surface of a single piece of black coal. No wonder nothing can be seen in the stone prison at night. There are many dense chiseling marks on the surface of these rock walls, which can be seen. , the stone chamber where everyone was imprisoned was an ear hole left during coal mining, but now it is used by Quan Xingjian as a private prison.
Everyone was cursing happily when they suddenly heard the sound from the iron gate.
There was a sound of "empty" knocking, and an old man cursed: "Be careful, this stone is unbreakable, do you think you can escape?" The man spoke arrogantly, quite proudly, Jiang Shuo suddenly recalled This voice said: "Uncle Shun, you are Uncle Shun!" The man outside the door was indeed Uncle Shun, and he cursed angrily: "Little thief leader, weren't you very fierce yesterday? Why did you remember your grandpa again today? "Actually, Shunbo was not among the two people who bullied Shunbo yesterday, but at this moment, he was throwing it all at Jiang Shuo's head.
Jiang Shuo said: "Uncle Shun, none of us are evil people. Why does Quan Daxian lock us up? Please invite Quan Daxian here. I want to ask him face to face what is going on." Uncle Shun snorted, Didn't answer, it was just a surprise
With a "hoo!", a narrow gap appeared under the iron door. It turned out that there was a small door here, only half a foot high and two feet wide. It could only be used to put food in, but there was no way to get out.
The light of the candlelight entered the stone room, and Jiang Shuo felt his eyes sting for a moment from the sudden firelight, but he was just stunned for a moment, and rushed over to grab Uncle Shun who was delivering food behind the small door, but when he made a move, He just happened to take a wooden plate in his hand. It turned out that it was time to put out the meal. Shunbo fed the people boxes of prepared morning food.
Jiang Shuo wanted to open the feeding port, but Uncle Shun had locked it from the outside. He looked down at the plate and his nose was twisted with anger. The small box was made of thin wooden boards. There were no tableware at all, and the wooden boards were all the same. It breaks when touched. Even if Jiang Shuo is extremely powerful, it is absolutely impossible to use the plate to dig a passage in the hard rock wall.
Jiang Shuo couldn't help but threw the wooden box aside in disappointment. At this moment, he didn't have the slightest appetite, while Shun Bo cursed and walked away.
At this moment, it was already bright outside the stone prison. It rained and winded last night, but today it was a sunny day. The sunlight shone in through the window and diffused indoors. Only then did Jiang Shuo realize that the window was four feet long. , very deep, and at this moment, I suddenly saw a white figure flashing past the window...
