Infinite Script Killing

Not far outside Lin'an Mansion, about three miles east, there is an isolated castle standing on the plain.

This is a rare piece of flat land, but there is not even a rice field around it. It is desolate and full of dry forests.

Even in broad daylight, it feels horrifying. The further you go inside, the colder it becomes.

It is said that some people passing by at night even saw the ghost turned into fireflies, which was extremely scary.

Everyone in the nearby villages knows that this place is the Tianlao of Lin'an Prefecture.

No matter whether he is a high-ranking official or a vicious robber, as long as he is sent to the prison, he will never come out again in this life.

As time passed, there were piles of corpses and bones near Tianlao. Although there were no graves, the resentment had left no grass growing around them.

On every first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, the wind blows heavily here, and no one dares to approach easily even in the daytime.

It is said that every year during the Ghost Festival, Lord Guozhu, Xu Lai, would come to live here in person for a night, using his earthly immortal aura to suppress the resentment in the heavenly prison.

Therefore, many people passing by this place will subconsciously take a detour to avoid it. Those dignitaries are even more reluctant to pass by this road for fear of being contaminated with bad luck.

"Kakakaka..."

At this time, the sound of a horse-drawn carriage came from far away, and it entered the path in front of it and headed towards the Tianlao.

What's strange is that this is not a prison carriage for escorting prisoners, but a gorgeous carriage. The carriage is larger than ordinary carriages. The wide wheels are wrapped in layers of animal skins and neatly decorated with rivets. Not only does it serve as a reinforcement, but it also gives people a sense of wealth and dignity.

"Master Marquis, if you go further ahead, you will reach the Tianlao. The road will not be too good, so please sit tight."

The coachman on the shaft is wearing an eyepatch and is a one-eyed man.

This person's name is Mao Bo, and he is Xu Fan's confidant. He is about fifty years old, but he has the strength to reach the peak of Taoism.

This time it was not that he was sent to lead Xu Tong on purpose, but that there was too much resentment around Tianlao. If someone who was not strong enough broke in rashly, he would be seriously ill after returning, and he might even lose his life.

Only masters like Mao Bo who have entered the Taoist realm can enter and exit freely.

In the carriage, Xu Tong responded, but he was thinking about another thing.

He didn't expect that Xu Lai and Xiao Leshan were both rivals and close friends.

According to Xu Fan, on the surface, the two are fighting to the death, and the two dragons are not allowed to meet each other, and they will die if they meet, but in fact, the two have started to communicate closely in private a long time ago.

Xu Fan even learned the news in advance about what happened last time at Luoyuepi.

Of course, Xu Fan said this very cryptically, but you could tell that he was trying to lead himself in the direction of Luoyuepi when he was running towards that direction.

The reason why the two are so close is precisely because their fate is that if the two dragons do not meet each other, whoever does meet will surely die.

And behind this, someone deliberately changed his fate.

When Xu Fan said this, he pointed in the direction of Immortal Summit, and the meaning was self-evident.

The two gods are using two people as chess, and the world is a chessboard. The winner will unify the world. One of them must use this to become an immortal.

This is the so-called fairy chessboard.

Xu Fan knew this because he accidentally learned it from his father's letters hidden in a secret room.

It's just that both of them are playing Tai Chi now, as if they don't want to be their chess pieces, and are discussing a plan to break the game. I don't know exactly how the two of them operate.

But there is one thing. Xu Fan discovered a hidden code in his belief in Lao Tzu, which was to attack the moon.

Xu Fan sent someone to check it himself, and later found four words.

Comet strikes the moon.

The so-called comet hitting the moon is a celestial phenomenon.

In "Warring States Policy·Wei Ce IV": "Hu Zhuanzhu stabbed Wang Liao like a comet striking the moon."

It represents the following offenses.

In other words, on this day, the fortunes of the world will suddenly become chaotic, and those in lower positions will have the opportunity to plot against those in higher positions.

So Xu Fan concluded that this was the day the two of them had been waiting for.

As for when this day arrived, Xu Fan couldn't find out.

In this era, it is taboo to peek into the sky, let alone read the ephemeris records of past generations. This kind of thing is the same as rebellion.

Only people from the Si Tianjian of past dynasties can check it.

Xu Tong thought about the information Xu Fan said, took out the script in his hand and looked through it, but did not find that the script mentioned the issue of a comet hitting the moon.

According to the direction of the development of the script in his hand, Xiao Leshan was defeated by Xu Lai in the end, and then turned around to rebel. After they killed Xu Lai, they became the containers of gods.

He read the script repeatedly and always felt that the story was missing a corner, so that the content in the script flipped in leaps and bounds.

And I don’t know exactly what this missing corner is.

"Hey, these people did a poor job developing the script in the last round. Too many details went undiscovered, otherwise I wouldn't have to be so passive."

Xu Tong sighed. If Xu Fan's guess is correct, he will go to the Northern Barbarians in the spring of next year. There are still two or three months before then, and he can just seize the time to practice the Nirvana Sutra. Improve your own strength, and at the same time supplement and expand the Nightmare Cavalry under your control.

"head!"

At this time, Chang Wenzhen's voice came from the team channel.

"Head, head! Now, we can make a fortune!!"

Immediately afterwards, Chang Wuju sent a visual screenshot to the team channel.

Xu Tong took a closer look and couldn't help but widen his eyes, and said in shock: "Did you kid rob the treasure house of the Northern Barbarian Palace?"

"Hehe, these are all for free, they are all good things, but please do me a favor first. I remember that you seem to have a magic talisman that can strengthen weapons..."

Time goes back to this morning...

"Boom--boom, boom, boom, boom!"

"Have a safe night!"

On the fifth watch day, with the sound of the clock knocking, the residents in Beimang Zhongdu City have begun to get up from their beds.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw that the ground outside was covered with a thin layer of frost.

The north is no better than the south. It's not even December yet, and it's already so cold that people shrink their necks.

Ordinary people can only endure the cold and go out wrapped in cotton-padded clothes.

But in the Young Master's Mansion, it was a different scene.

The red-hot heater was brought into the room with the cover closed. The whole room was warm and comfortable.

More than a dozen maids lined up and walked forward, slowly walking inside carrying hot water, incense burners, shell powder, balm and other dozens of things.

Yeluqi stood expressionlessly in front of the bed, letting the maids fiddle with them. Only after this series of processes were completed, the little eunuch standing beside him stepped forward and stretched out his fingers to help Yeluqi. Arrange the clothes around the collar a little.

"Your Highness, the prince sent a lot of good things yesterday. Among them are many rare toys and some precious medicines for improving one's cultivation. It shows that the prince has been thinking about you recently."

Yeluqi snorted coldly and sneered at these precious treasures. After waving the guards and followers to go away, he glanced coldly at the little eunuch beside him: "There is no news from Di Qiu yet??"

"this……"

The little eunuch looked troubled and whispered: "Your Highness, Mr. Di said that if he wants to reshape his body, he needs natural resources and treasures. He will have difficulty gathering them for a while. He can only wait for the Yuanqi Temple to be built and invite the Yuanqi God to come. , bestow the treasure to reshape the body for His Highness.”

Hearing this, Yeluqi immediately became angry. He pulled up the collar of the little eunuch in front of him and looked at him fiercely, wishing to tear the guy in front of him into pieces.

The reason why he has been kept until now is because his injury has not healed yet, and Di Chou cannot guard him. He needs an insider to block him in front, so that no one can notice that there is anything wrong with him.

Otherwise, just because he dares to stab himself, I should cut him into pieces and cut him into pieces with a thousand knives.

"My uncle has already arranged a wedding for me yesterday. We will be getting married on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month this year. How can I, a disabled person, hide this from anyone?"

As he spoke, he pushed the little eunuch to the ground fiercely and stared at him fiercely: "You are a bastard who deserves a thousand cuts. I should have had you chopped into pieces!"

The young eunuch's face suddenly turned pale, his eyes rolled around, and he quickly got up from the ground and said: "Your Highness, Your Highness, this matter can be handled, it's easy to handle."

"Ha, of course it's easy to handle. I'll have you taken out now, chopped into pieces, and fed to the dogs!"

Yeluqi immediately laughed angrily, his face becoming more and more gloomy.

The little eunuch hurriedly shook his head and explained: "Your Highness, what I mean is that your wedding will be easy to handle."

After saying that, he stepped forward and whispered: "His Royal Highness was seriously injured that day. In order to save his life, he had to cut off the dragon sac. But the young man used his measures carefully. Although the dragon sac was gone, the dragon root was not damaged, and outsiders could not see it. , I have a method..."

After the little eunuch muttered a lot of words in Yeluqi's ear, Yeluqi looked at him suspiciously.

"you sure!"

"Of course, this is absolutely true."

After the little eunuch finished speaking, his voice changed: "But it's very troublesome to prepare this magical medicine..."

Yeluqi sneered when he saw this, patted the kid on the shoulder, took off a key from his waist and handed it to him.

"Xiao Chang, just do it. No matter how much it costs, you can get it from the back room. Just let me see the results."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will make sure to do a good job in this small matter."

Yeluqi nodded, he could leave. After the young eunuch walked out of the room, a group of eunuchs and maids soon gathered around him.

"Greetings to Eunuch Chang."

"Everyone, get up. It's a cold day. Don't be so polite."

Eunuch Chang held up his hands, and the maid on the side hurried forward to support him carefully.

"You all have to be careful lately. His Highness is in a bad mood. If any of you make His Highness angry, then even if the prince comes, he won't be able to save your lives."

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Everyone's head was pounding, and they lowered their heads to listen to Eunuch Chang's holy teachings.

They actually don't know the origin of Eunuch Chang, but they have been keeping him with them since His Highness returned from the southern expedition.

The day before yesterday, when the chief manager saw him stealing the roast meat sent by the prince, he scolded him. As a result, he slapped him on the ground and half of his face was swollen.

The strangest thing is that instead of pursuing the matter, His Highness asked the housekeeper to go back to the countryside to retire.

This incident really surprised everyone.

Since then, this Eunuch Chang has become the general manager of the mansion. No one dares to easily provoke the famous person in front of His Highness.

Fortunately, although Eunuch Chang has a weird temper, he is a good person. As long as they finish their work honestly and don't cheat in front of this father-in-law, they usually only get a few scoldings and a few greetings to their ancestors. It's over.

At least in terms of eating and getting cards, this Eunuch Chang never did anything to them. Instead, he often distributed the filial piety money sent by those outside to everyone.

After such a comparison, everyone still felt that Eunuch Chang was much better than the former general manager.

"Okay, your highness is about to have dinner, you should do whatever you want."

After Eunuch Chang stepped back, he looked around, turned around and walked towards the inner treasury at the rear.

Taking out the key and opening the door of the warehouse, Eunuch Chang glanced sideways and saw boxes of all sizes in the warehouse neatly placed on the ground.

Suddenly he narrowed his eyes, closed the door, walked to the box, opened a box and took a look, and his eyes suddenly gleamed.

Looking at these treasures in the box, I couldn't help but take a deep breath: "Boss! Now, we can make a fortune!"

Chang Wuzhen took out a fiery red coral from the box and held it in the palm of his hand. If this thing was placed outside, it would be a priceless treasure, but here it was thrown in the corner like rotten cabbage and no one cared about it.

Chang Wuzhen rummaged around and found a lot of good things.

For example, a Pearl of the East China Sea, the bearer can greatly enhance his or her lifespan.

There are also fist-sized demon pills.

A pill that enhances cultivation.

Centuries-old ginseng.

Some lost sword skills in the world and so on.

There are countless treasures, and most of them were given to Yeluqi by Xiao Leshan.

As the saying goes, compare goods to death, and compare people to death.

The treasures here are all rare and rare. They are probably richer than the inventory of the Northern Man emperor, let alone other princes.

It can be seen how happy it is to have a strong natal family as a backstage.

It's a pity that God is fair. What is given in this place must be taken back in other places.

These treasures were far less important to Yeluqi than his own sexual happiness.

When everyone heard about Yeluqi's tragic situation, they couldn't help but observe three seconds of silence for Yeluqi.

Chang Wuzhi was the only one who was particularly excited about this. He kept talking about how successful his surgery was and how superb his skills were. He was not like some people who were both good at food and fun-loving. They still had no conscience at all when they didn’t have diamonds and still took on the porcelain work. No... (ignore thousands of words)

Xu Tong saw that Chang Wuzhen was getting more and more excited as he talked, so he could only say with a dark face: "You go look for it first and make a list. As for the talisman, I will give it to you when I finish what I am doing." Make a few talismans."

After saying that, Xu Tong silently changed the permissions of Chang Wugu's team channel to only speak once per hour.

"Boom!!"

The carriage suddenly shook a few times, and then the one-eyed dragon Mao Bo on the shaft shouted loudly: "Marquis Shenwu is inspecting the prison, but he still doesn't open the door!"

"Please show me the oracle!"

The guards on the Heavenly Prison were not intimidated by Mao Bo's words. After all, this was the Heavenly Prison, and the people imprisoned here were all guilty of heinous crimes.

Without the handwriting, they would not dare to open the door rashly even if the current emperor came in person.

Of course, the emperor would never come to such a ghost place.

"Master Marquis, use the token given to you by the Crown Prince!"

Mao Bo opened the car curtain and said to Xu Tong.

Xu Tong took out the token that Xu Fan had given him before and handed it to Mao Bo. When he looked out through the car curtain that Mao Bo opened, he saw the evil spirit in front of him.

The entire castle is like a huge urn city.

Even without using the Mingyan Qimen, Xu Tong could see the huge evil energy gathering in the sky prison and not dissipating, making it even more terrifying.

"strangeness!"

Xu Tong secretly thought strangely: "With Xu Lai's strength, he is fully capable of setting up formations to draw out the evil spirits in the prison. How come he suppresses them here every year, and now makes this place look like this?"

"Open the door!!"

At this time, after the guard saw Xu Lai's warrant clearly, he asked someone to open the door.

"Buzz..."

The three-foot-thick door was slowly opened by more than a dozen strong men. For a moment, even a figure like Mao Bo, who had reached the pinnacle of Taoism, couldn't help but shiver.

Although the two horses pulling the cart were blindfolded, they refused to go any further when they got here, letting Mao Bo's whip crackle on the horses' backs.

"Forget it, I'll go in by myself, you go back first."

When Xu Tong saw this, he motioned to Mao Bo to go back first, went in for a walk and then went back.

"yes!"

Mao Bo didn't talk nonsense. After Xu Tong got off the carriage, he drove his horse back.

In fact, if it weren't for Xu Fan's order, Mao Bo would not be willing to come to this place. After all, it is a place with great resentment. Although cultivation can protect the body, it will also invisibly weaken people's luck.

It is said that the guards here are carefully selected and pay attention to their birth dates. If they are not determined, they will not survive here for three days.

Xu Tong stepped on the bluestone bricks and stepped inside. As soon as he entered the door, he felt that the aura around him suddenly became oppressive.

The black stone tiles have a polished color, but if you look closely, you will feel that the stone tiles are covered with a thick layer of blood.

"Roar!!"

At this time, there were roars of tigers above Xu Tong's head. It was obvious that the evil spirit here had interfered with his destiny.

Fortunately, although this is not the Yin time, the Yin tiger can drive away all evils. My destiny is not afraid of this kind of evil spirit, and I have the ability to ward off all evils.

And he himself is even more fearless. With the pure Yang energy rising all over his body, stepping into the gate of Tianlao will severely suppress the evil energy surging throughout Tianlao.

The eyes of the surrounding guards were all fixed on Xu Tong, with a strange look in their eyes.

As guards who guard here all year round, their luck and destiny have long been integrated with this prison.

The evil aura in Tianlao was suddenly suppressed, and everyone immediately felt a lightness in their bodies, as if a thousand-jin weight had been lifted off their shoulders.

"I'm lowered, Song Changming, pay my respects to the Marquis!"

Unexpectedly, the person responsible for guarding the prison turned out to be an old lame man.

Xu Tong looked the other person up and down and asked, "Is your name your real name, or did someone change it for you later?"

"Master Marquis is indeed a divine figure. I can't hide this from you. Master Guozhu changed this name for me. He said that I would be in prison and this name would keep me safe."

Really?

Xu Tong used his Life Eye Qimen to take a look, and found that this old guy's luck was extremely weird. It was not like a normal person's fate at all. His luck had been filled with terrifying evil spirits. It was a miracle that such a person could survive.

Not only him, but also the guards. They seemed to have completely developed a symbiotic relationship with this prison.

Once they leave the Heavenly Prison or the Heavenly Prison is destroyed, they will inevitably die.

Xu Tong felt strange in his heart, but he did not break the relationship. He only said: "I am here to inspect, and I would like to ask you to lead the way."

"Hey, good, good, good. Lord Marquis, it's really great that you can come here. In front of you, Xianguan is just like a grain of pearl. I would like to lend you auspicious words and say that Xianguan will have a long life."

Although Song Changming was disabled, his speech was very interesting. If it had been anyone else, he might have agreed.

But Xu Tong didn't dare to shout.

It's not that he doesn't have enough rank, but there's something weird about this guy's name.

If you call him longevity, longevity, you are actually sacrificing your own luck and longevity to make up for it.

This kind of routine has been played by my master before him.

I just don't know if this person is sincere or unintentional. Xu Tong's expression is slightly serious and he looks businesslike: "Master Song is too polite, but since I am ordered to patrol, let's keep it commensurate with my official position."

"That's it! That's it!"

Song Changming nodded quickly, but under his head, there was a somewhat guilty look in his eyes.

As Song Changming led the way down, the cell doors in front of him were opened one by one. Every time a door was opened, the evil aura in front of him became stronger.

If Xu Tong's aura hadn't been so strong, ordinary people would have already started to feel dizzy and have ringing ears when they walked here.

"There are three floors in this sky jail. There are seventy-two prisoners on the first floor, thirty-eight prisoners on the second floor, and the third floor is a black cell with only three people inside."

Song Changming explained to Xu Tong as he walked.

This huge prison only holds a few hundred prisoners in total, which sounds ridiculous.

But when I think about it carefully, I'm afraid that seventy-two and thirty-six correspond to Tiangang Earth Evil, and the three people on the bottom level may have something else going on.

These numbers obviously cannot be a coincidence. One carrot and another pit. So it is natural to imagine where the previous people went.

After the two passed through the last cell door, they finally entered the cell in the sky prison, which was much cleaner than he thought.

There were a few prisoners sitting sparsely in the cell. They seemed to have noticed someone coming, and they looked up numbly, their eyes were cloudy and there was almost no charm at all.

Xu Tong noticed that the palms, temples, and even joints of these prisoners showed signs of martial arts training, but they now had no cultivation at all.

Xu Tong continued to walk down, but he didn't know that just before he had gone far, the prisoner suddenly jumped up, bumped his head against the cell pillar, and yelled heartbreakingly:

"Xu Lai, you will not die a good death. You betrayed your trust and harmed our brothers. Don't forget that the elders of the Shenyan Sect gave you orders. Your fate is coming. We brothers are waiting for that day..."

When Xu Tong heard this, he turned around and saw Song Changming hurriedly signaling the guards around him with his eyes. The guard raised his long stick and knocked the man to the ground with a stick.

"Master Marquis, don't blame these people. They are all bandits who rebelled before. It is not a pity to die. There were originally 308 people, but now they are the only ones left alive."

Song Changming stood aside and explained.

Xu Tong showed an indifferent expression on the surface, but from the corner of his eye he glanced at the location of the cell and kept it in mind, intending to find an opportunity to see what the calamity this person was talking about was.

Hey, my house is a new building. My family is the only one on this floor. None of the other three households have moved in. I don’t know the other neighbors downstairs. I’m sorry to say hello. I can only blame myself for thinking of stocking up on a pack of cigarettes. , I didn’t think of buying a few AA batteries. I’ll try it with a pack of cigarettes tomorrow and see if anyone has batteries and I’ll replace them with two.
