beg for chivalry

After a few days, the torturers were exhausted.Lei's family didn't know what kind of calculations they had in their stomachs, so they untied the scarred Yan Jiubian from the stake, splashed water on him with a silk ladle, washed his blood clean like last time, and threw him into the iron wheel in the car.

Although Yan Jiubian was dying from the beating, Lei's family deliberately didn't let him die. They often beat him hard and applied some ointment to the wound, but now he can still wake up and move.

After passing through the stone ladder, the iron wheel cart was pushed to another place.Turning around the corridor, the lights in front of the eyes are brightly lit, the dark Eight Immortals pattern is spread and dyed on the stone wall, and the flowing clouds are misty, like a fairyland.The dark fragrance is surging and beautiful, although this place looks bright and golden, like a bright palace, but it always has an unpleasant feeling.

If you take a closer look, you can find that there are several sedan chairs in the hall, and the sound of warblers and swallows can be heard from each sedan chair.At this time, the car curtain moved slightly, and a jade foot protruded from it, curling its toes lazily, and the sole of the foot gently rubbed against the window.

The Lei family sneered obscenely, and pointed out to Yan Jiubian: "This is called the Dry Bone Cave, which means that the Taoist priests 'teach people to dry the bone marrow in secret'. In the past, our Lei family was feared by many people, and they often came to kill us. , we will kill the ugly ones, keep the good-looking ones, refine the five nectars here, and sell them to the Acharya who is now in charge of Tantric Buddhism. Do you still like this place?"

Yan Jiubian's face turned pale.One of the five nectars is the dirty water from here. This Jingshi mountain was robbed by the Lei family. Although there are many Taoist arrangements, most of the people in it are bandits and do not believe in it. Li colluded.He vaguely guessed what Lei's family was going to do with him.

"I'll ask you one last time, should I tell you or not?" Lei's family kicked him off the iron wheel cart and stomped on his head with great interest.

The clothes-snatching ghost was heartbroken, and said in a hoarse voice: "You... just tear my mouth... to pieces!"

He hadn't spoken for a long time, but he felt that the tone of his voice had changed, and he was like a wild beast, unable to speak.

"Okay, as you wish!"

There was a mocking laugh, which made my ears ache.Someone bent down, patted the dust on his face, and exclaimed: "This face is not bad!"

Lei's family members laughed loudly, "Yes, otherwise how could he be the tenant of Zuozhuzhu?" "To entrust this kid to the Huo Dou today is to let him die at home!"

Anxiety swelled in my heart, as if it was about to burst the atrium.Yan Jiubian struggled to sort out the thoughts in his head.What are they talking about?What does fudou mean?He knew it was the name of a divine beast, with a dog's body and a dragon's beard, which he had read in a book.

The sedan chair in front of him suddenly shook a few times, and there was a disturbing hissing sound from inside.Yan Jiubian looked up, but was suddenly astonished as if he had been struck by five thunderbolts.

Gently and slowly poking out the head of a giant python from the shoulder, the gray-green scales seem to be glowing with a poisonous luster.Its head pressed tightly against a pale and bloodless body, it was a human corpse, the neck was twisted, but the facial features could still be discerned—it was an assassin from the Ministry of Water.

But the most frightening thing is that the giant python is connected with the corpse's body.The dead flesh was still trembling slightly, and blood flowed down the gullies on the stone bricks.

Yan Jiubian was dripping with cold sweat, his pupils narrowed in horror, and he finally understood where this bone hole was.The hall is filled with a strange sweet fragrance, which is the fragrance of the lit morningweed, which makes the strange beasts in the shoulders ready to move, howling high or low.

The captured assassins will be thrown into this cave to sleep with the beasts, and their blood will be turned into five nectars, which will be taken as goods and sold to the Tantric Acharya.

At this time, his eyes were full of the miserable scene of the mottled and skinny assassin being bitten by the beast, and the sight of overlapping limbs really made his stomach sour.A colorful tiger savagely crushed the head of the assassin under it, spilling red and white slurry all over the ground, and in a blink of an eye it turned into a scene of wild beasts eating.

"Do not……"

All of a sudden, Yan Jiubian only felt his internal organs twisted into a ball.Although the Assassin of the Water Department was a lowly bastard who had been ridden by thousands of people, he had never been bullied like this.His teeth chattered up and down, and the saliva of the beasts seemed to be filled with the stench of devouring flesh and blood, which made him shiver from head to toe.

The members of Lei's family pushed the iron-wheeled cart, as if they had never seen him with such a terrified expression, looked at him curiously, and said with a smile: "Look at this kid, I'm really impatient, the goods I prepared for you are still on the other side. So, do you want to have some fun by yourself?"

"It's a pity that he was born with such an appearance, and it would be a pity to be spoiled by dogs and beasts." Suddenly someone sighed, and the others teased and pushed him, "Then I gave it to you for nothing? There are poisons hidden in them, and darts in the gaps between the nails. If you have a lot of life, then rush to have fun with him, haha!"

The iron-wheeled cart was pushed to a deep pit, and the dogs in the pit barked a lot. At a glance, there were dozens of donkey-like tengus, all black, strong, and fiercely sticking out their red tongues from their mouths. Licking the tip of the nose.The scent of morning grass lingers around, enveloping them layer by layer.

People kicked him into the pit mercilessly, and the mastiff rushed forward fiercely, covering his body like a dark cloud, with saliva on his wet tongue.Fortunately, the dog had no teeth in its mouth, and its sharp claws were cut off, but under the scent of morningweed, the dog's face was ferocious, extremely terrifying.

Lei's family laughed by the pit, while some were filled with righteous indignation and yelled at him: "The evil spirit of Houtianlou!"

Yan Jiubian raised his head sadly, looking at the edge of the dog pit.His hands and feet were broken, and even though he was tied with wooden strips, he still couldn't move.

Veins sprang up on the man's face, and he shouted: "You Houtianlou once killed the Gaozu clan of the Wu family in Zhanghai, didn't you?"

I seem to have heard of this matter before, and it seems that people from the Ministry of Finance have gone through it.Yan Jiubian didn't nod, but flinched back in fear, but the mastiff had already jumped on him, gnawing at his throat with great interest.

"I am the descendant of the Zhanghai people! Later, I lived in Lei's family and became a fire dealer!" The man sneered contemptuously, "Now you have ended up like this, but evil will be rewarded with evil, and heaven will pay it back!"

"Yes! Hou Tianlou has done a lot of evil, sending you into the dog pit is a waste of these dogs and beasts!" Everyone seemed to be ignited with anger in their hearts, chattering in unison.Some people spat into the pit, and some threw stones on Yan Jiubian's face.His piercing eyes were like sharp swords, piercing through him.

But Yan Jiubian couldn't care about their fast talk anymore, the tengu's bulky body bumped into it, barking wildly in the morning grass fragrance.The moment his clothes and flesh were torn, his neck was also bitten suddenly, and the sense of despair was like a wave overwhelming him, instantly obliterating him.

Yan Jiubian began to struggle violently, his eyes filled with panic, "No...don't, Jin Wu...Jin Wu!"

He was talking nonsense, and stretched out his twisted and pale arms towards the zenith, trembling all over, as if he was begging for help in embarrassment. "Help me...help me, where are you...!"

No one answered.The joy bell did not ring, and his respondent disappeared.

The mastiff bit the wound on Yan Jiubian's arm, and dragged him to the pack of dogs.There was no light anywhere, as the shadow of the Tengu's heavy body obscured his vision.He was like a delicious meal waiting to be gluttonous, and was eaten miserably.Everyone looked at his appearance happily and laughed at his appearance.

In an instant, he seemed to be thrown into a pitch-black hell.

Lei's family members laughed and pointed at him: "Look at this ugly appearance, this evil spirit should fall into the iceberg hell, and he will go into the snow and ice world naked!"

"Iceberg Hell still punishes lowly women who steal food from outsiders, but this kid has a reputation for having fun with dogs..."

While being bitten and contradicted by the dogs, his whimpering was drowned out.If it was physical torture before, now it is spiritual torture.In the endless and filthy vibrations, Yan Jiubian's confused mind somehow flashed out the scene of the past:

……

In Tongle Temple, in the bamboo forest, he and Jin Wu sat side by side.

Yan Jiubian was exhausted from sword practice, fell to the ground dripping with sweat, turned his head and asked curiously, "Who rings the joy bell?"

"Scout." Jin Wu replied coldly, wiping his sword.

"It's strange to say, why do you want to ring the bell when killing people?" Yan Jiubian looked at the sky and asked in confusion, "If you ring the bell, wouldn't it startle people and make us miss? We assassins do everything Those dirty things in the gutter shouldn't be so open and aboveboard."

The Raksha ghost shook his head, "It's to tell you that someone will come to save you."

"Moreover, this is one of the magic bells. The first is to encourage all living beings to be diligent; the second is to wake up and get rid of the suffering of samsara; the third is to rejoice. May the gods and Buddhas be happy and bless everyone."

Yan Jiubian's heart fluttered slightly when he heard it, he never thought that the happy bell had such a meaning, but he could only laugh: "We rakshasas, evil ghosts, can also make gods and Buddhas happy, so they are all willing to lend a helping hand? "

Jin Wu sneered, "If the gods and Buddhas don't save you, then I'll save you." He grabbed the sword on the ground, threw it into Yan Jiubian's hand, and said seriously, "When you hear the joy bell, say ten times silently in your heart. And it was done."

The Cloaked Ghost took the sword blankly, only listening to him solemnly say.

"I am your support person. Within ten sounds, I will definitely come to rescue you."

……

Jingle, Jingle, Jingle.

For some reason, there seemed to be a faint bell sound floating in the wind, and the copper bell tongue struck the inner cavity, making a crisp sound like breaking ice.But there shouldn't be a bell here, this is the Lei Family's underground palace, surrounded by thick earth walls, far away from the top of the ground.

But although the ringtone was low and weak, it really slipped into Yan Jiubian's ears.He raised his head and neck in pain and torment, his absent-minded pupils looked at the dim ceiling.

Someone is ringing the bell, maybe the reprimand sent by Zuo Louzhu has arrived and is about to break through the barrier and come to rescue the Houtianlou assassin who is trapped here.

There seemed to be a spark in the fragmented mind, Yan Jiubian suddenly gained strength, he struggled violently, and shouted with all his strength: "I...here!"

"Jin Wu...! I'm...here!" There was a tearing pain in his throat, tears filled his dry eyes, and he made a heart-piercing sound.

"Save me...please...help me!"

His throat was like a dry field, no matter how hard he tried, it was still difficult to make a sound.Yan Jiubian was like a stranded fish, struggling violently.

Lei's family members began to commotion, looking around in panic.Someone hurriedly passed through the corridor and rushed to the ground, but after a while, he walked back slowly and reported: "Nothing happened outside, and we are still looking for a pit to bury the body of the Houtianlou assassin."

"This kid has been hanging around with dogs for a long time, his mind is broken!"

Everyone laughed loudly, "Next time I have to throw him into the pigsty. After rolling in the mud enough, he will become more stupid like a pig, haha!"

Yan Jiubian was stunned, a huge sense of fear seized him in his palm, tossing and rubbing him over and over again.

Did he hear wrong?Perhaps it was because he was so eager for the happy bell in his heart that he had hallucinations in his ears, thinking that someone was ringing the bell outside, and even more so that his respondent would come and pull him out of the quagmire.

No one will come to his rescue.When he realized this, he felt that his consciousness was almost insane, and the scene in his eyes twisted and circled, swallowing and crushing him bit by bit like a whirlpool.

At the bottom of this dark and sunless underground palace, he was tortured and trampled like dust, and was finally trampled under his feet.

-

In Tongle Temple.

Jin Wu was tossing and turning a prosthetic arm cut from a bamboo tube. This is a prosthetic hand made by Dobe, and the joints are connected with mortar and wooden balls.After receiving the Shakata order last time, there were not a few assassins whose hands and feet were blown off by the Lei family's artillery, so Dodo performed a skillful skill and helped make many prosthetic hands and feet made of bamboo tubes.Jin Wu was curious, so he took one of them to play with.

"Young master, I see that you are in good health, why are you thinking about this thing?" Jin Shiba happened to pass by, strolling in front of him with a Yanyue knife on his back, and said, "Isn't it because you were limped by the artillery blast, you need to make up for it." How about a leg?"

"Crow's Mouth." Jin Wu pushed his face away and continued to stare at the bamboo limb in his hand. "But if I'm limping, I've got a trick I'd like to try."

"What trick?"

Jin Shiba asked casually, but Jin Wu suddenly frowned in distress, thought for a while, and said, "Forgot."

"That's not it, young master. Don't you claim to have a photographic memory? You fought with Mrs. Hongzhu before, and you can remember all the moves mentioned in the book library clearly. Why don't you remember now?" Jin Shiba couldn't laugh or cry. , turned around and looked for a week, wondering, "Didn't you have a partner before, why is it gone now? I remember it was called... Shui Jiu?"

As soon as the words fell, Jin Wu looked at him suspiciously.

"what happened?"

Jin Wu tilted his head and asked, "Who are you talking about?"

"Your partner, the one named Shui Jiu. Don't you two often practice sword together, and he always loves to pester you?"

A little ominous omen crawled into his heart, Jin Shiba rubbed his head and said embarrassingly.

"So I want to ask you..."

Jin Wu stared at him with blank eyes, like plain paper without any ink marks.

"Which one is Shui Jiu...?"
