Tao is impermanent

In the cage, it is deep and dense.

The rotten smell rushed to the face, and it piled up in this invisible block, and the sour and rotten smell became more and more serious.If ordinary people were here, they might have already vomited sour water because they couldn't bear this inhuman taste.

At the end of the cage, with the creaking sound of the door, a glimmer of light was revealed, and then after the creaking sound, it disappeared into darkness.

Because of this ray of light, commotion began in the prison, and there was an unstoppable roar coming from the cage, but the sound did not seem to come from a human throat, it was shrill and terrifying, like being scalded by boiling water Then the shrill cry.

The cell boss guarding the prison tremblingly walked ahead amidst the treacherous voice, leading the man in the black hood behind him to go deeper.

The head of the cell has guarded the prison for many years, and for many years, he has heard more terrible screams than this, so at this moment he is not afraid because of this cry, what he is afraid of is that there is no one behind him. A man with a word.

That was the man brought from above. His head was completely hidden under the black hat he was wearing, and the prison chief didn't dare to look at it. After all, the man brought from above was definitely not something he could casually look at.

Therefore, at this moment, he had no choice but to walk to the end of the prison under his instruction, where a guy with a very special identity was imprisoned.

On both sides of the prison are cages one after another, but there is not even a window, and no light can penetrate.

Whimpers, hisses, and shrill laughter came from both sides continuously.

A black claw suddenly stretched out of the cage, tightly grabbing the hooded man walking in the aisle.

The prison chief was so frightened that he threw the key out of his hand. This man in the black hat didn't seem like a good guy to mess with. If he was extremely angry, he would also be implicated, so he hurriedly shouted: "You want to die!"

As soon as the words fell, a hoarse scream came out suddenly.

"what--!"

Then, there was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, obviously, it came from the cage.

The breathing in the prison became heavier, but those screams disappeared in an instant.

The gurgling blood spread out from the cage, soaking the soles of the black-hat man's feet, and the stench came to his nostrils. The black-hat man removed his feet from the bloody water, and then snorted coldly in disgust.

The head of the cell was so frightened by this change that he knelt down on the ground, his shoulders trembling constantly, and the fear from the bottom of his heart made him almost forget to breathe.The man's gloomy gaze swept over him, and the cell boss immediately buried his head lower, and kept saying, "This subordinate should die, this subordinate should die, your hands are dirty!"

As he spoke, he kept knocking his head.

"Forget it, take me to General Duan." The man didn't look sideways, didn't even look at the man who was lying on the ground, stepped on his feet twice, and wiped away the blood.

Feeling relieved, the cell leader immediately stood up tremblingly, and hurriedly said: "We are almost there, go forward, please, please."

The man under the black hat had dim eyes, then raised his feet and walked towards the end of the prison.

The prison fell into silence again, and the hustle and bustle of that moment tended to calm down.

The cell leader finally led the man in the black hat to the innermost cage. Compared with the outside, this cage was almost twice as big. It was built at the innermost part of the prison, and it also occupied the aisle.And that cage is completely covered with steel, which is essentially different from the cages made of steel pipes outside.

It can be seen that the prisoners inside are all extremely important people.

The iron cell door opened, and the cell boss quickly bowed slightly and said, "Please."

The man in the black hat bowed down, and entered this completely sealed cage that was isolated from the outside world through the wide open iron door.

The cell boss closed the iron door very cleverly, and then stood two feet away from the iron door, squatting quietly.

Inside the cage, it was much darker than the outside, but compared to the rotten smell outside, it was at least dry and tidy inside. It can be seen that although the guy living inside has lost his freedom, at least the things outside his body The supply is pretty good.

The people inside were sitting on the innermost straw mat. Even though they noticed the movement outside, they still closed their eyes, like an old monk in meditation, without the slightest fluctuation.

The man in the black hat, like him, did not speak first.

For a moment, inside the cage, it was as quiet as if the man in the black hat hadn't entered this place.

The undercurrent was tumbling, and the man in the black hat finally took off his hat, revealing his face, but in this darkness, it was unnecessary, because it was too dark to see everything clearly.

"Child..." A hoarse and gloomy voice lingered in the closed cage.

The person on the straw mat finally trembled his eyelashes, and then opened a pair of eyes, which were very ordinary eyes, but at the moment of opening, there was a gleam of blue light, but it quickly disappeared. Between those dark pupils.

The man wearing a black hat showed his middle-aged but still young face, took a step forward, and got closer to the person on the straw mat. In the darkness, although it was pitch black, In his eyes, the reflected scenery is clear, and so is the person in front of him.

The man on the straw mat finally spoke, with a gentle tone, "The phantom is here, but this subordinate can't salute." His feet were intersected, his ankles were covered with strangle marks, and the prison uniform looked too wide for him. , making his body even more slender.

The phantom demon's gaze touched the wounds, and he couldn't bear it for a moment, but it disappeared quickly.He just asked: "Did the heavenly world ask anything important?"

The man on the straw mat was obviously Duan Zhuoqin who was sent back to the Demon Race by the heaven, and the scars all over his body were obviously from the prison.

The demons imprisoned him. Originally, according to the evil nature of the demons, Duan Zhuoqin could not escape the death penalty, but because of his special status, his father was a phantom in the third city of the twelve cities of the demons, so the superiors looked at him. For the sake of Huanmo, he spared his life, but the pain of flesh and blood will definitely be suffered.

The combination of old and new injuries caused Duan Zhuoqin's body to suffer great wear and tear. Fortunately, he grew up in the army since he was a child, and his resilience is amazing.

Duan Zhuoqin's smile remained undiminished, but there was a trace of pain in his eyes, and then he closed his eyes and said, "No, my subordinates didn't say a word."

Hearing this, Huanmo heaved a sigh of relief, he understood this child and would never lie.But then he exuded a cold air and asked, "Then let me ask you, why didn't you help Chunhuang as planned!"

Duan Zhuoqin was taken aback and kept silent.

Seeing him like this, the phantom became even more angry. "Do you know that because you didn't come according to the plan, not only did the heavens not suffer any loss, but they even started to scare the snakes, and the demons had to plan ahead and attack the heavens in advance! Don't you feel sorry for the expectations of the demons?!"

The smile on Duan Zhuoqin's mouth disappeared, leaving only his tightly pressed lips.His calm emotions unknowingly flooded again, making him unable to restrain himself.His task was to help the female demon successfully put the heart-biting Gu into Yaochi, but at that time he couldn't simply follow the task assigned by the demons. He complied as before.

In the end, he chose to do nothing.If he was asked to choose again, maybe he would not change his choice.He can't hurt Lu Ke, let alone the heaven where Lu Ke lives, which makes him feel at a loss, but he can't escape.

The phantom really wanted to wake him up, but he said coldly: "Don't tell me, you actually abandoned the demon clan for the sake of a fairy king! As a demon clan, do you know that what you do is tantamount to betrayal? If it weren't for me Guess you, you've been killed long ago!"

Duan Zhuoqin was silent for a while, having nothing to say.He also understands that if he does this, he will no longer be accepted by the demons.If this matter got out, maybe he would have been killed thousands of times by the devil long ago, but there is no movement so far, presumably the person in front of him helped him.

He bit his lip, and finally had no choice but to speak. "There is no way to repay this great kindness."

Huanmo said: "Hmph, this time I will suppress the matter, but you have to pay the crime and make meritorious service. You must participate in this battle between immortals and demons! I heard that the immortal will also participate. As long as you kill the immortal, you can do it if you think about it." Prove your loyalty."

With a shock in his heart, these words made him suddenly open his eyes. His dark eyes kept staring at the man in the darkness, with bitterness in his eyes, "This subordinate... can't do it."

"What did you say?!" Phantom's voice doubled.

He couldn't hold back his monstrous anger anymore, and stepped forward to give Duan Zhuoqin a kick.

Duan Zhuoqin was weak all over, and immediately fell to the side. He whimpered in a low voice, and then supported his body with one hand, but said nothing more.

"Did you really fall in love with that fairy demon? Don't you feel ashamed? The female is lying under a man, and you are still a fairy king. You are a disgrace to the demon clan!" After kicking him, the phantom Regretted, but the anger in my heart could not be restrained.

Duan Zhuoqin clutched his heart, slowly straightened his back, and then said: "Subordinate...the only way is to apologize with death. This subordinate only asks for death."

"Don't even think about it!" the phantom roared. "I gave you this life. If you give it up, I will die with that fairy, and I will beat him to pieces!"

Heart throbbing, Duan Zhuoqin immediately said: "No!"

The phantom became more and more angry, "You are just for a man! That man has never believed in you from the beginning to the end, he guards you like a thief, and you still have to protect him! Kill him, and you will survive ,did you know?"

Duan Zhuoqin smiled bitterly, he didn't want Lu Ke to die, even if he really never loved him, because he loved him, this kind of love may really have nothing to do with whether Lu Ke loves himself or not, as long as he loves him , you can't pretend not to love.

Huanmo was about to say something, but Duan Zhuoqin's voice came again.

"I'm going... I'm going..."

Huanmo frowned, and finally took a step back, he said: "After thinking clearly, come out with me quickly, rest for a few days and go to the front line immediately!"

After he finished speaking, he walked away directly.

The phantom walked out of the gate, but did not close the gate.Duan Zhuoqin leaned against the iron wall behind him, raised his head, expressionless.If there must be a fight, then I would rather, the one who fights with you is me.

He stood up slowly, the wound on his body made him weak all over, but he still endured the pain and walked towards the door step by step.

Li Ke, maybe we will meet again soon.

The author has something to say: Phantom Demon: Do you kill or not? !

Lu Ke: I'll go...I'll go...【I'll go!I go!your sister! 】
