Jiuzhuo Mountain is said to be a mountain, but in fact it is an abyss. It is a huge pit located twenty miles north of Liangdu. The pit has been set up in various places. Passes are prohibited from passing through by any unrelated persons. Of course, the pass is not the Great Wall. It can only be set up by a dangerous pass. It is inevitable that possible intrusions cannot be eliminated. Therefore, Liangdu also issued a decree to enter the forbidden area of ​​Jiuzhuo Mountain in the north. Civilians were 80 sticks, and their family finances were confiscated, and they were sentenced to exile. However, practitioners were regarded as having evil intentions and were killed without mercy.

This mine, which claims to be the service of sinners, is actually the largest spiritual vein in Liangdu. All the serving sinners will be transported here to dig the veins and extract the spiritual qi ore for the consumption of Liangdu. This mine has been excavated for five hundred years since the founding of Daliang, and is still in full supply, but it has formed an unfathomable huge pit on the ground. Looking down from the sky, you can see layers of cliffs, in the shape of steps, winding downwards, becoming deeper and deeper, as if leading to the abyss of the underworld.

The sinners were sent to this pit. Every "staircase" cliff at the edge of the pit was a vertical and smooth height of dozens of meters, like a natural city wall. It extends down to nine floors. It is said that the more sinful you are, the more you are at the bottom. At that time, you will only look like a hole in the cave. It will be dark all year round, and the air is even thin and extremely cold. Ordinary people will definitely become a corpse there in a few days, and they don’t even have to pick it up. If you find a crack in the ground and push it into it, you may really fall into the Infinite Purgatory.

In the middle of the pit, there is a stone pillar deliberately left when excavating, and the sinkhole is high. The digging is hollow, and the dragon ladder is intertwined. It is also a cold iron chain and a suspension bridge leads to each floor. This stone tower is stationed and guarded by the officers.

The core of Jiuyu Mountain has a ban and Liangdu Guguo Sword Formation with the same energy as the Liangdu Guguo Sword Formation. Cultivators above the fifth level will trigger when they appear and encounter attacks equivalent to Guguo Sword Formation. Only those who master the formation pivot can enter and exit without any obstacles. However, practitioners below the fifth level do not need to worry too much. Beyond the pit is the military camp, and the ninth place of Fulong Camp is stationed here.

The central stone tower in the pit has a hinged crossbow and a lookout, which is specially designed for the garrison officers on each floor to monitor prisoners of their respective levels. The prisoners work on the cliff, and the guards of the central giant tower are clear at a glance. If there is any abnormal movement, the crossbow platform and the demon-breaking crossbow that guards can easily shoot and kill every person serving in the Sin Zhuo Mountain.

This is the place where everyone talks about Daliang.

Of course, there are also some people with less punishment who are released after serving in the above levels and bring out the wonders of the nightmare scenes. The information collected more or less makes the people of Daliang feel awe and fear about it, but they can't help but look at the atmosphere of secret talk.

Zhao Ziheng wore shackles and dragged into the Mount of Sinzhuo with the flow of prisoners.

Seeing this dark forbidden area of ​​sinners that only appeared in the tone of her mother when she was scaring children, she has now become a prisoner here, and it is directly to the bottom of the serious crime area, almost the end of lifelong crime. At this time, Zhao Ziheng, who was already mute, touched the corners of his mouth, and his mouth covered with blood scabs, outlined a barely recognized bitter smile.

Along the way, many misdemeanors serving in prisoners on the edge of the first floor cliff were constantly talking.

"That traitor to Qili Sect..."

"It is said that the disciple of Qili Sect, Jiang Yin, was a disciple of Qili Sect, and the outstanding brother of Daliang Kingdom, was killed by Shushan Sect who was causing trouble. The name Yang Sheng is probably not going to end well in the future... Qili Sect, Liang Emperor, and Taihao League are probably not so easy for them to fool them!"

"Isn't this going to be sentenced to the end of one year? I'm still a native of Daliang. I'm the first to miss the situation where people from outside bully me, Liang State! After I went out, I also scolded them with others. When did the Taihao League and Emperor Liang take action and take these demons!"

Someone shouted at him from a distance, "It's fine if the Shushan people are. You Zhao Ziheng are helping outsiders, do you still have the face to call yourself a Daliang person?"

If there were stones thrown, the past escort officers would have stopped this behavior, but now they are just establishing the boundary with their bodies. As long as they don’t leave the boundary, they are allowed to send a few stones in their hands to throw away, hitting Zhao Ziheng’s head and body.

Just take it as a pastime.

Some soldiers watched coldly, and some officers came over. The general named Ulan was quite prestigious and waved his fists to maintain order.

Zhao Ziheng came all the way over, and even though he had no physical support for his cultivation, the sharp stone horns cut his skin, he remained silent. The only thing that made his heart sting was that someone called you that you were also the son of the Zhao family in Meijun, your Zhao family is a family member, your father is called "Zhao Laoquan". His articles are famous all over the world, but you have such a son! The shame of the Zhao family, the shame of the Meijun!

Yes, as the illegitimate son of the Zhao family, Zhao Ziheng is no better than the older brother who inherited his father Wentong. He has been naughty since childhood. He has ordinary qualifications in the Zhao family, which is a literary scholar, and his studies are dull. However, although his father was worried, he never showed it in front of him. Until that day, an old man from Baimei arrived and told the Zhao family that the youngest son was already attracted by the Qili Sect. He had the talent for cultivation. When his father pulled him to worship his ancestors, he realized how excited his father was. Since then, the Zhao family in Mei County has been promoted to the most prominent family in Daliang. Even his father's Wen offended the power of the court three years ago, he underestimated and let it go, and no one dared to pursue it anymore.

When I learned that I could practice, my father asked me to kneel down in front of the ancestral tablet. He was so excited that he claimed to be shining his family, saying that the Zhao family also had a wait for this world.

That is the pride of his father and the Zhao family. He protects this world. Whether his father and brother make statements or biography, in their opinion, Zhao Ziheng, as a cultivator, guards this world.

But now I have become a traitor and a sinner who has stirred up the tranquility of Daliang. Father and brother, when you hear this news, when you are also criticized by thousands of people, will you be heartbroken, or even disappointed for me?

...

Sure enough, he would not be able to live a good life. Zhao Ziheng entered the eighth floor, which was almost at the bottom. The same was not seen, and the cold wind was like a knife.

The first two floors of the mountain road before entering the mountain road were mostly princes, nobles, nobles, or criminals who had officials. The crimes were not to die, and the punishment was relatively light, and they were only responsible for the lightest labor. They could only go out of the Jiuzhu Mountain in a few years and become a great qualification to give outsiders the experience of coming to this purgatory on earth. Therefore, some of these people are well-informed and do not obstruct the outside world.

However, the more you go down, the more you can feel the difference between the upper and lower levels.

Not only are the guards more tightly, but the more heavy the labor of mining and excavating ore veins, most of the criminals who were down were practitioners in their previous lives, and their cultivation was abolished and their final value was squeezed here.

Zhao Ziheng was given a shovel. He understood why the most of the lower layers were practitioners like him who had been broken through the two levels, because the weight of the shovel was about 100 kilograms. Ordinary people might be able to lift it up, but it was too much worse to use it to wield and dig. The stones under the ground were all tough rock layers. In addition, the influence of the spiritual qi ore veins, the ground was cold and tough, and it was as tough as iron. This special shovel was necessary to dig out the stone layers. The coldness of the ground was that ordinary people would not stay for long and the cold poison would invade the body. Only practitioners like them could barely resist it.

The three levels of the barrier in his body were damaged and only the first level of the tailbone maintained his life function. Most of the practitioners here were like this, ensuring that their bodies could compete with such an environment and then discover ores.

The body's injuries are actually very serious. Rock layers are dug on this cold wall underground. Even during the day, the underground still needs to be illuminated by torches. The torches burned by special tinder oil around can only reflect the shadows of several meters of the mountain wall with the radius of flame. The cold air underground makes the world in front of you full of mist. The ice-bone knife in the fog hits the body like the wind, and some fine wounds will be cut open. In this environment, the injuries in the body will recover more slowly.

Zhao Ziheng raised the shovel and dug it on the rock layer. There were rows of baskets beside him. They had to fill them up and carry them onto the cart, then pull the cart, and walk along the mountain road to the hanging basket on the central stone tower, transport it out through the hanging basket, and send it to the workshop for refining, so that they could finally extract the refined spiritual energy used by Liangdu.

As for supervisors, except for the extremely few who have to take turns, most of the soldiers in charge of the Fulong Camp who are responsible for the supervision do not have to be present. They are lazy and have no need to steal. If they don’t move, they will soon freeze. Ordinary soldiers will not be punished. They just need to raise a bonfire in the stone tower and observe through the observation window.

The sky light on the top of his head turned dark and the temperature was even lower. At night, the day's labor came to an end. Everyone tacitly went to the chain bridge of the stone tower, and there would be soldiers who would distribute grass cakes. Zhao Ziheng landed at the end, took half of the piece, and took a bite. He tasted the taste of the Tiancan root grass inside. This grass is the most common plant growing on the spiritual veins. It has a rare spiritual qi stock, but it also comes with toxins that ordinary people cannot eat, but it can be used on them, such as sinners, and can hold their lives.

Zhao Ziheng forced the sour and pungent smell in his mouth spread out in his mouth. He still swallowed the cake. He had to live. With the remaining grass cakes, Zhao Ziheng walked towards the fire cave on the stone wall. The fire cave was right next to the wall and lit at night. Everyone could sleep around the fire cave and hold their legs to sleep. They could get some temperature so that they would not become weaker in the cold ground and eventually freeze to become a stiff corpse. This actually facilitates the guards to wait and see clearly for the service personnel.

But when someone is lying near the cave, he must be the highest-ranking person among the crowd, occupying a relaxed and comfortable position, while the rest curled up, hoping to grab a touch of temperature at the edge of the cave. Warmth can allow the body to take heat and resist cold poison. On the way Zhao Ziheng went, someone blocked the road, and the next moment he was put on the ground.

"What you do certainly can't make you so comfortable here!"

The person in front of him cracked open, and on the lying position nearest the cave fire cage, a fat figure stood tall like a hill.

At the same time, the only grass cake in Zhao Ziheng's hand was taken off, and the man was held back by several people, and his head was knocked on the gravel on the ground. He could no longer speak, and could only make a babbling sound.

Zhao Ziheng struggled, but could not get rid of the power of three or four people. He couldn't help but think angrily, if his cultivation level was still there, you would be miserable if you had one.

He was pulled with his hair and forced his head to look up. The strong body as a hill came to him, and under the light of fire, a gloomy smile full of flesh appeared.

"Someone asked me to pay special attention to you... In my Tangyuan territory, I still have a lot of sweetness for you to eat."

Someone handed over the grass cake that he snatched from Zhao Ziheng's hand. Tang Yuan cracked his mouth and stuffed the half cake into his mouth and chewed it for a few minutes before looking at him and said, "Oh no, after eating your rations, you won't have anything to eat... It's not a big deal, I'll treat you..."

He gathered his hands and put a pile of sharp stones beside Zhao Ziheng's nose and lips against the ground. Then he got up, and in the fire, the dark shadows pressing Zhao Ziheng were shaking under the fire, and then Tang Yuan's voice, "This pile of stones...eat them."

...

...

After the Jiang Yin incident, Daliang immediately took action. Outside the gate of Shushan, the mountain where Qili Sect is located can be seen from afar inside the cliff tower of Yinxiu Peak. There are some deacons from Taihao League. Even on the mountain west of Qili Sect, a Fulong Camp has been arranged in place.

All of these were carried out in a quiet manner, and Daliang also explained some movements. After all, the investigation of Jiang Yin's case is still underway, and it is natural that Liang has made a series of power adjustments.

In the Qili Sect's cliff tower, two deacons from the Radha Sect were sitting opposite each other and drinking tea. They looked at the two mountain guard disciples at the entrance of the Shushan Mountain Gate. One of them turned around and said, "You said that Shushan people are really scarce wood. I don't know if the disaster is coming, or if they set up a suspicion array, and they deliberately loosen and tighten inside. They are so big-hearted and so brave."

Anyone can see that the undercurrents inside Daliang are now surging, and the core of a storm is storming Shushan. However, Shushan Sect is still only two disciples guarding the gate, which is no different from the past. I really don’t worry that someone will attack the gate the next day and will drive straight in, so outsiders certainly seem to be very bold.

Another deacon of the Radha Sect said, "Do you care what he is doing? Now five elders of Jinling are in charge, Master Jingwen is also in Liangdu, and Di Duanyun, one of the leaders of the alliance, and they offended him. I believe that even if Shushan Sect is in Zhongzhou, there are indeed some means, but this is just a remnant. In the Daliang realm, the elite forces from all sides are enough to suppress them to death. Why do you think the first post of the alliance? At first glance, the Taoist of the Drunken Sword Immortal of Shushan Sect seems to have taken it with one force, but where did he actually receive the first post of the alliance? By the way, at their mountain gate, you and I are just deacons, but if you are in the realm of their own mountain gate, you can still do such a glorious thing by using some formation means to forcibly improve your and my skills."

When the deacon heard this, he nodded slightly and couldn't help but fascinated. Any sect would have some hidden means to use a sect to support the formation to bless a practitioner. This method also exists in Taihao Alliance. They are just deacons in the sect, and they are not the main affairs who can take charge of one side. Of course, this kind of thing is not their turn, but it does not prevent them from imagining that scene. If the fat Taoist drunk sword immortal happened to them that day, then they would be enough to become famous immediately and become famous.

The deacon who spoke later continued, "Of course, this also comes at a price. Don't look at Chisong's junior brother who blocked the first post of the alliance with his junior brother, this is a psychological deterrence, making people think that his junior brother is already powerful enough, let alone Chisong, but in fact, Shushan uses the sect formation to support the fat man to receive the post. The operation of the formation requires a lot of resources. The five first posts of the alliance are enough to weaken the power of their mountaintops. This is a disguised attack on the bottom of the tile vein in Shushan at this time... This action is a glorious, but it is hard to say how heavy the loss of their tile vein is. Conservatively speaking, it is very likely that one-third of their storage resources will be cut off. Maybe this tile vein is ready to run away at the moment!"

"Run away?" The previous deacon stroked his hair, "If there is such a sign, it will be the third of the three response plans of your superior. We can immediately cooperate with Qili Sect to take the people!"

He looked over and looked at the two Shushan Mountain guards at the door again. The scene of him taking action and killing the two of them was already revealed in his heart.

They were also present at the night when the Liangdu Xujing Temple was present, and they witnessed the arrogance of the Shushan Sect's people surrounded by all sides. As deacons of the Luodah Sect, who was also considered humiliated at the time, they had long wanted to let this Shushan see their power as the second largest sect in the Taiho Alliance after the Tianji Sect. After all, in their opinion, the Wawu Craft is no different from a small sect. As a representative of the powerful Luodah Sect, when did they suffer such a loss?

This is not their personal honor and disgrace, it is related to the face of the Radha Sect in the world of cultivation. There are so many sects of the Taiho League, why are there only thirteen candidates to become the leader of the alliance? When the establishment of the Alliance Leader Association, was it compared to whom was quick to speak? Of course, it is not more reasonable for anyone to speak at the Alliance Leader Association. A weak sect is not worthy of reasoning. The Radha Sect deeply agrees with this, otherwise it would not be the leader of the Tianji Sect, the most powerful leader among the alliances.

"Continue to monitor, there will always be a day when I attack Yinxiufeng in front of me. I see that the migrated Shushan Mountain is indeed a good place with outstanding personal land. Women all like you... At that time, you can forgive a few of you and blow the bed for you, the deacon. I think the other party will be grateful to you and willing to make a furnace and cauldron."

The deacon laughed in silence, "The spring warm brocade quilt is piled with embroidered couches, and the fragrance is warm and the treasure cauldron is under the heavy curtain?"

The two of them looked at each other and slapped their hands, and the benefits of waiting for the sharing of the benefits were all indifferent.

...

...

The courtyard with four rooms in the Yi character courtyard has become a fixed gathering place for the Wawu Mai Axe Gang. Senior Sister Wang came to help sort out the recent accounts and handed them over to Qinghe. After she turned to Yang Sheng, she looked at Yang Sheng at the desk. Facing this person who is now in the peak, because of killing Jiang Yin with his hand, he has become the most prominent among all disciples. He whispered, "Recent news, Zhao Ziheng has been deposed by Di Duanyun and was detained in Jiuzhuo Mountain to serve his sentence."

As her senior sister, she now seems to have become a housekeeper who conveys messages and communicates with all parties. She doesn't seem to be able to stand up to her previous airs. After everyone experienced an incident like Xu Jing Temple, she felt that it would be good to help them from the side and do something for Yang Sheng in front of her.

Yang Sheng at the desk raised his head and squinted his eyes.

Yinxiu Peak is a good place. There are bright sunshine and birds singing in the morning. Some birds step on the branches of the courtyard and soon fly away to the distant mountains. At noon, a short time enters the house, exuding a peaceful and peaceful smell.

In such a place, every day when you wake up, you will feel that life is like this, comfortable and leisurely, and you will feel like the noise and hustle and bustle that happens outside like a dream.

However, in fact, this is not the case. Shi Yun was bewitched by Jiang Yin and avenged his father, and also pushed the situation in Daliang into a more unpredictable abyss. Inside Daliang, Jiang Yin's change and death had a much less vigilant effect on Daliang than their vigilance against Shushan Tile House Veins, and even triggered many chain effects.

Under deliberate "guidance", Daliang regarded Shushan as one of the sources of indifference behind the scenes and disrupted Daliang's tranquility. Outside the world, all parties were eyeing their tile veins. If it weren't for the Master Daoist who suppressed him, a fierce battle might have come.

Zhao Ziheng was unwilling to betray his master's sect and did not return with them Shushan Sect. Instead, he returned to Qili Sect and was willing to bear the response. In Yang Sheng's opinion, this was a bit stubborn and obviously unwise. He was abolished and was sent to the Mount of Sin Zhuo. This was the price of this unwiseness.

With Zhao Ziheng's intelligence, such unwise things should not have happened to him, but he still made such a choice. This is probably due to his personality. He is obviously a smart person, but he just goes to death. This is what is called persistence? It is right to insist on doing it? This kid is unhappy, but it also makes people feel a little impressed. There are also such people in Qili Sect.

Senior Sister Wang whispered, "There is also a saying that the reason why Qili Sect did not kill him immediately was that some of them wanted to make him suffer all kinds of hardships, thinking that Jiang Yin would take revenge, so they had to torture him in different ways in Jiuzhuo Mountain..."

Yang Sheng nodded. Things are now troublesome. Not to mention the threats from the ancient demon in the dark to this place, Zhu Qingshan is now not relieved. He locked himself in the house and had not yet recovered from his emotional injury. He became autistic. Zhao Ziheng, who provided great support for them, is now in prison and may suffer from the torture of the darkness.

I just don’t know if the matter about Zhao Ziheng can help solve it? Yang Sheng’s mind is active.
