Lu Feng went to Black Ice Cliff to receive his punishment.
"Why are you alone?"
Lu Feng came to the foot of the black ice cliff and found that Su Qing'er was the only one in the corridor, and Chai Tong was not seen.
Su Qing'er was dressed very tightly today. The thin prison clothes were covered with a very thick cotton cloak. Her whole body was huddled under the cloak, only her petite head was exposed, and her delicate face looked cold.
appearance.
Lu Feng was a little surprised by Su Qing'er's attire. Although the temperature around her was very low at the moment, it was obviously much warmer compared to the bone-chilling cold in the sly gate array.
Su Qing'er smoothed her hair, a trace of warmth flashed across her face, and said: "Chai Tong was punished the same as you, seven days of confinement plus five thousand spiritual merits. The reason why he didn't come was because he used his spiritual merits to offset it.
If the number of days of confinement is exceeded, two thousand spiritual merits are equivalent to one day of confinement."
Lu Feng suddenly realized and looked at Su Qing'er: "What about you, why don't you use your spiritual merit to offset it?"
Both Su Qing'er and Chai Tong have been practicing in the spiritual prison for a long time and have accumulated a certain amount of spiritual merit.
Normally, as long as an ordinary prisoner practices peacefully in the spiritual prison, he can more or less accumulate around 100,000 spiritual merits after the expiration of seven terms.
Before, there will be more than one opportunity to go to the battlefield to experience.
Su Qing'er lowered her head slightly and stuck out her tongue in embarrassment: "The mistakes I made are serious and cannot be offset by spiritual merit."
After a pause, he looked at Lu Feng's clothes and reminded him with concern: "There is a Nine Nether Black Rock Formation under the black ice cliff. The entire cliff valley is covered with black ice and is extremely cold. Do you want to wear more clothes?"
"It's okay," Lu Feng had read the introduction of Black Ice Cliff in the jade slips distributed by the Spirit Prison. The cold air of black ice condensed there was more than a few clothes could withstand. The cold air there acted directly on the spiritual energy. Once it circulates in the body,
The spiritual energy will definitely endure the pain of black ice and cold energy seeping into the body.
The real horror of Black Ice Cliff is not the days of confinement inside, but the days when the confinement is over and the black ice cold air is discharged from the body. The cold air entering the body and invading the spiritual energy is extremely painful, and the process of forcing the body out of the body is even more painful.
The pain is ten thousand times greater.
No matter how much clothes you wear, you can't resist the cold air of black ice. Although it can alleviate some of the coldness to a certain extent, it will also create more resistance when forcing the cold air immersed in the body away. It can be said that there are advantages and disadvantages, so Lu Feng is not like Su Qing'er.
So tightly wrapped.
The two of them walked side by side towards the entrance of the Black Ice Cliff.
Looking up at the towering, black mountain, I couldn't help feeling terrified.
Before entering, it was already quite chilly.
The inmate in charge of registration at the entrance glanced at the two Lu Feng who were approaching, stretched out his hand impatiently, and said: "Penalty book, take out the prison card."
Lu Feng and the other two did as they were told and listened to the prisoners talking about the rules.
"There are eight levels in the Black Ice Cliff. The higher you go up, the colder it becomes. There is no requirement for you two to be locked on which level as punishment, so just stay at the bottom level."
Lu Feng and the two nodded.
The prisoner continued: "There are three rules that must be followed when entering the cliff to be punished: first, no treasures are allowed to keep out the cold; second, no means such as lighting fires are allowed to keep out the cold; third, the black ice cuffs are not allowed to be removed without permission."
"If there is any violation, once discovered, the penalty period will be doubled!"
As he spoke, the prisoner took out four pairs of black chain-like cuffs and cuffed the hands and feet of Lu Feng and Su Qing'er respectively.
After finishing, the prisoner said solemnly: "Go in and be punished. When the time limit is up or you can't stand it any longer, come to me to unlock and register and get your prison badges back."
"With your strength, you must not leave the first floor, otherwise you may die inside before being inspected!"
The prisoner reminded him again.
Lu Feng and Su Qing'er nodded. Ling Yu was an unusual private school. There was a certain danger in learning and practicing here, and students often lost their lives due to various reasons.
Just like the Trick Gate Array, during the normal opening period, each Trick Gate Array has a dedicated instructor holding the array talisman to supervise it. Once a student is found to be in danger of life inside, he will come to the rescue.
However, during the non-normal opening period, it would be difficult for someone like Su Qing'er to trespass and help. If he died inside, he would have to blame himself for the trouble.
Lu Feng had read records about the mortality rate on jade slips. Within the seven-term period, the mortality rate was as high as ten per thousand, which means that for every one thousand prisoners, ten would lose their lives before graduation.
Cultivation is a cruel path, and spiritual prison is just the first threshold for most soul masters to embark on this path.
In the world after leaving the spiritual prison, I am afraid that more than half of a thousand people will not be able to live to old age.
…
In front of the black ice cliff.
After being handcuffed, Lu Feng suddenly felt coldness coming from his limbs, like his hands holding wet iron knots in the cold winter.
The shackles are very heavy and seem to have a spirit-suppressing effect. The circulation of spiritual energy in the body has obviously slowed down a lot.
Su Qing'er had a bitter look on her face, "This black ice cuff is made of the same material as the formation under the black ice cliff. After entering the black ice cliff, the cuffs will become heavier and colder."
"Just think of it as training," Lu Feng held the handcuffs in his hands and walked towards the black ice cliff, dragging the shackles with one foot to the left and one to the right.
When Su Qing'er saw this, she stumbled and followed her, her face becoming very gloomy.
She was sentenced to thirty days of confinement and had to endure thirty days of black ice and cold air. If she did not recover properly after she was released, her future cultivation would be affected.
The predecessor of Black Ice Cliff was an abandoned mountain. Thousands of years ago, the 187th prison master of Dongyuan Spiritual Prison transformed it into a prison specifically for punishing criminals. The spiritual energy in the cliff was mixed with
Once eroded by black ice and cold energy, the spiritual energy in the body will become very cold, and the meridians will be frostbitten when flowing through the energy channels. In severe cases, many years of cultivation may even be destroyed in one day.
Inside the Black Ice Cliff, the space is very wide, much larger than the average creature academy. The overall environment is a bit dark. Although the smooth black rock walls around it are artificially inlaid with jade for lighting, their brightness is very limited.
Affected by the cold air, the light source cannot be spread too far.
The higher the Black Ice Cliff goes, the colder and more dangerous it becomes. After entering, Lu Feng and the two casually found a clean open space at the bottom, where they sat cross-legged and circulated their spiritual energy to keep out the cold.
There are many ways to punish prisoners in the spiritual prison, and confinement in Black Ice Cliff is already the most cruel one. Only those who have committed serious prison rules will be punished here.
Lu Feng looked around and found that there were not many inmates who were in confinement with them. There were only two or three people sparsely scattered in the entire wide space on the first floor. At this time, they were all immersed in resisting and did not pay attention to the thoughts of others.
The cuffs on the limbs slowly began to change after entering the black ice cliff. Pulled by the formation under the cliff, the cuffs became extremely cold and weighed several times heavier than outside. Lu Feng felt as if his limbs were soaked in ice.
In the cold ice water, the joints usually start to feel numb.
"The black ice cold air is gradually invading along the cuffs," Su Qing'er looked at the cold air introduced into the body from the cuffs, and her whole face suddenly turned pale.
Lu Feng tried to use more spiritual energy to resist the invasion of the black ice cold air, but the shackles on his limbs were like an ant nest that collapsed and could not be blocked at all. On the contrary, the harder he tried to resist the cold, the more the cold air invaded.
Lu Feng had a vague understanding and gradually recovered his spiritual energy.
"Sure enough," Lu Feng said to himself. As he retracted his spiritual energy, he found that the invasion speed of the black ice and cold air around him was gradually slowing down.
Lu Feng looked up at Su Qing'er and found that she was still resisting the cold air with all her strength, "Relax, don't resist, the harder you try to force away the cold air, the faster it will invade."
Although Su Qing'er was surprised when she heard this, she still obeyed and controlled the spiritual energy to slowly start to retreat.
His face recovered a lot, and after he got used to the speed of the black ice cold air, he smiled sadly: "It seems that the core of the black ice cliff confinement is to make us suffer the devastation of this black ice cold air."
Lu Feng nodded, feeling the black ice and cold air begin to mix with the spiritual energy in his body, "These cold air are very strange. Wherever they pass, the speed of the spiritual energy in my body is reduced several times."
Su Qing'er felt the movement of spiritual energy. Without active control, the spiritual energy seemed to be condensed.
Lu Feng's face was grim, "It seems that this confinement is not just about allowing us to withstand the invasion of cold air. If we are blindly attacked by it, with our strength, we will be completely attacked by it in less than three days. By then..."
Su Qing'er's pretty face, which regained some color, turned pale again after hearing Lu Feng's words, and responded feebly: "By then... our spiritual energy will be invaded and condensed, and we will no longer be able to withstand the cold, and will freeze to death."
Lu Feng tried to touch the black ice cold air immersed in his body, but his whole body shivered with cold, "It seems that during this confinement, we cannot relax for a moment, and we must force this cold air out of the body like threads."
Su Qing'er asked in confusion: "Isn't it true that the harder you resist, the faster the cold air attacks?"
Lu Feng explained: "It is not to confront it head-on and prevent its invasion, but to wait for it to infiltrate and then gradually force it away."
As Lu Feng spoke, he circulated his spiritual energy to wrap a trace of cold air around his body, forcing it out of his body from his palms.
Although there was only a small trace, it also greatly reduced the threat of the black ice cold air to them.
If they did nothing and allowed the cold air to invade them, Lu Feng and the other two would not be able to survive for three days. However, if they endured the pain of the invasion while forcing themselves out of the body, they should be able to survive for half a month.
Su Qing'er tried Lu Feng's method and it did alleviate some pain, but she also knew that this method could only last for half a month, when the amount of black ice and cold air immersed in the body would reach a peak and it would no longer be able to maintain balance.
"I...the days of confinement will be thirty days," Su Qing'er said bitterly.
Lu Feng was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting the punishment to be so severe. He thought for a moment and asked, "Have there been any punishments that lasted more than fifteen days in the Black Ice Cliff in the past?"
Su Qing'er nodded: "The longest half a year has ever happened."
Lu Feng was a little confused: "Then how did they survive?"
