I'm playing tricks in the world of mythology

Chapter 303 The new book "Journey to the West and Through the White Snake" has been released

The following is Chapter 1:
The county government of Qiantang County in the Song Dynasty, the prison cell.

Xu Xian opened his eyes and looked at this completely strange place.

The earthen wall made of stones and the thick thigh fence, he is lying in a nest of thatch.

There was a faint stench in the air, the sour smell of rotten flesh and sweat intertwined, and he woke up instantly.

not dead?
How can you be in prison?

Xu Xian is a Qi refiner with ordinary aptitude, so he found a new way to enter the Tao with dual cultivation, practiced for hundreds of years, and finally ascended.

Stepping into the fairy gate, becoming a fairy, and becoming one of the [-] heavenly soldiers and generals in the heavenly court.

The days are leisurely and comfortable.

Later, Sun Wukong came.

Havoc.

In fact, Monkey King did not target Xu Xian, but all the heavenly soldiers and generals are rubbish.

In the aftermath of the battle, the three brothers beside Xu Xian were instantly wiped out.

Xu Xian tried his best to escape, but in vain.

The violent fluctuation of mana stunned him.

When he woke up again, he appeared in this stinking prison cell.

Fantasy?

Suddenly, a memory that does not belong to him, without giving him any time to react, forcefully inserted——

Xu Xian, written in Chinese, is 15 years old this year. Both of his parents died when he was young, and he lives with his elder sister Xu Jiaorong.

Five years ago, my sister was introduced to marry Li Gongfu, the head of the Qiantang County Yamen, and he has been living with his sister and brother-in-law since then.

He was physically weak since he was a child, so he couldn't do martial arts, but unfortunately his writing was not good, and he didn't even pass the entrance examination for a child.

In order to avoid being useless when he grows up, at the beginning of the year, his sister sent him to Qingyutang, a time-honored pharmacy in Qiantang County, as an apprentice.

Originally, life was so unsalty, but I never thought...

Three days ago, a tribute from the county government went into the treasury. The county lord ordered Li Gongfu to take care of it carefully, and the superior would send someone to pick it up the next day.

Li Gongfu didn't dare to be negligent, and took two of his subordinates to guard the door of the bank all night without sleep.

But the next day, the tribute was still gone.

Li Gongfu was imprisoned for dereliction of duty, but he couldn't tell why.

The silver vault was a complete secret room, without even a window, only one door, and he never left this door throughout the night.

In fact, the county master didn't believe that Li Gongfu would guard himself and steal. The two had known each other for ten years, and the latter had an upright and honest personality, not like a criminal.

Moreover, in addition to the tribute, there are several thousand taels of official silver in the bank. The tribute is gone, but the silver is not missing.

If Li Gongfu really did it, why didn't he steal the official silver as well?
Why didn't you run away after stealing it?

The county master ordered that the ground be dug three feet and the wall three inches.

Got nothing.

There are no hidden doors, and no burrows.

Heck!
But what do ghosts steal tributes for?
No solution.

As for why Xu Xian was imprisoned, it was completely unfounded.

On the night when the tribute was stolen, his sister Xu Jiaorong asked him to deliver food to Li Gongfu, and he stayed for about half a stick of incense—taking the bowls and chopsticks back.

But because there are witnesses, and he and Li Gongfu are relatives, they are considered to be accomplices.

According to the laws of the Song Dynasty, it is inevitable for Li Gongfu to beheaded, and if Xu Xian is judged as an accomplice, he will also be beheaded together.

The lowest is also the army.

With Xu Xian's frail body, exile and beheading are not much different.

The case has been filed, and Lin'an, the capital city, is not far from Qiantang. It is estimated that there will be news soon.

If Qiuhou Wenzhan is stronger, he can live for about three months. If Longyan is furious, he will be sentenced to death, and he may have a ten-year life at most.

………………

After digesting and absorbing all the memories, the first thing Xu Xian did was to sense the mana in his body.

Fortunately, all the primordial immortals are there.

Xu Xian heaved a sigh of relief, this made things much easier.

He looked at the big lock on the prison door, and with a thought, he mobilized some mana and blasted past it.

Bang!
In the next second, he fell straight down.

It turned out that this body was too weak, even if it only used less than [-]% of its mana just now, it still couldn't bear it.

"Chinese, Chinese." After an unknown amount of time, a man's eager voice came from my ear.

Xu Xian slowly opened his eyelids.

General weakness, which is an extreme feeling of exhaustion, the body is completely hollowed out.

He didn't even have the strength to speak.

"Hanwen, you have been in poor health since you were a child, how can you bear this kind of torture... Sigh! It's all my fault, and you have been hurt."

It turned out that Li Gongfu who was taken for interrogation came back. He was about 30 years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a Chinese-character face. He looked quite honest.

He was dressed in a white prison uniform, with complete handcuffs and anklets, but there were no injuries on his body. It is estimated that the county master did not use torture.

But no matter what, if you want to die, there is only one way, which is to retrieve the tribute and redeem your sins.

Xu Xian didn't have the strength to speak. He stared at Li Gongfu, but felt powerless for no reason.

This is a feeling that has never been felt in 2000.

The last time he ascended, his Taoist companion who had been with him for 200 years died in a catastrophe, and it took him decades to calm down.

But back then it was Heaven's Tribulation, and he was just an ordinary Qi refiner, so he felt small and understandable.

But now, he is a primordial immortal, and it is only mortals who want his life.

How can you be convinced?

Must find a way to save themselves.

But so far, his whole body has been cultivated in the primordial spirit, and the primordial spirit has been completely integrated with the body, and it is impossible to get out of the body.

Xu Xian reckoned that if he wanted to get the primordial spirit out of his body, he had to strengthen his body to the point where he could cast the primordial spirit's mana.

This is contradictory.

If you can cast mana, why bother to get out of your body?
"Don't worry, when someone from the capital comes, I will say that it has nothing to do with you... I will try to save your life."

Seeing that Xu Xian didn't speak, Li Gongfu felt even more guilty: "I just pity your sister, who is going to be a widow at a young age. I hope she can think about it and find a good family."

"I don't know if my sister will marry again, but I don't want to die yet."

After resting for a period of time, Xu Xian finally regained some strength, but it was only enough for him to speak: "If you don't want to die, just tell me what happened that night carefully."

"Chinese...you?"

Li Gongfu looked at Xu Xian as if he didn't know him. The calmness and calmness in the latter's eyes was something he had never seen before. He said involuntarily, "I've told you what happened that night eight hundred times..."

After the tribute was put into the warehouse, he personally inspected it, and then locked the door of the treasury with his own hands.

The whole night, until the next day when the superior sent someone to receive it, he did not leave the gate for half a step.

Even for urination, he ordered his subordinates to bring a spittoon to finish it at the gate.

After saying all this, Li Gongfu said angrily: "But the tribute is still gone!"

Xu Xian pondered for a moment, then asked: "What exactly is the tribute?"

"Sheep fat jade bottle."

Li Gongfu explained: "This bottle can make a dead tree spring. It is very miraculous. If you throw a dead branch, it will soon grow new shoots... But it looks very ordinary. It is a white jade bottle, half a foot long. Any pattern."

"A dead tree is in spring? Have you ever seen it with your own eyes?"

"No, how dare I tamper with the tribute to the emperor? I just glanced at it casually and put it back in the box." Li Gongfu said.

"Box?"

"Well, it's a black brocade box covered with red soft forging. The brocade box is still in the silver vault. Actually, I can't figure it out. It's fine if the thief doesn't take the silver. Why doesn't he even take the brocade box?"

"Is there any change in the brocade box before and after the theft?" Xu Xian asked.

"No." Li Gongfu tilted his head and thought for a while, and added: "It may be my illusion. I felt that after the tribute disappeared, there seemed to be a little more fragrance in the brocade box. It was not right, and it seemed a little fishy. I was anxious , and didn't smell it in detail."

"I want to go to the bank to have a look. Is there anything you can do?" Xu Xian asked after thinking for a moment.

"It's useless. I've been there many times. The county master has even torn down the walls and floors. There's nothing there. What can you do when you go there?" Li Gongfu said helplessly.

"Just pretend that I want to die in peace, okay?" Xu Xian had a guess, but he had to prove it with his own eyes.
