Intermittent moans came from his mouth, and his whole mind seemed to be filled with paste, his thoughts were confused, and his eyelids felt as if they were filled with lead water, extremely heavy and difficult to open.
I don't know how long it had been since he came here, but Ling Xiao slowly opened his eyes despite the uncomfortable feeling, but his eyes were filled with energy, and he was obviously still unconscious.
But Ling Xiao soon felt refreshed, because the extremely dirty and smelly water was splashed on him, and the water contained a chill, which woke Ling Xiao up in an instant.
"This is..., where is this?"
Looking at the strange torture instruments all around, there were still faint traces of blood on them. There was only a small window on his left side, and his hands were tightly locked on the wooden frame with iron chains. Ling Xiao was horrified.
I couldn't help but blurted out the question quickly.
In front of Ling Xiao, a sturdy man who looked like a jailer was holding a wooden bucket in his hand. There was still some water in it that had not been completely poured out. Ling Xiao knew that he was afraid that he had fallen into the scheme of the Lord of Tiandu City.
When the jailer heard Ling Xiao's question, he didn't say much. He just snorted coldly, muttering something in his mouth, and walked out with the wooden barrel statue.
"The Lord of the Capital really had bad intentions that day!"
Everything that happened before was instantly recalled by Ling Xiao. He didn't know what manipulation had been done to the Qiankun Diagram, but it turned out to be so weird that he himself was also tricked. Thinking of this, Ling Xiao felt itching with hatred.
Immediately, Ling Xiao gave a bitter smile: "I don't know what kind of bad luck I have. If this continues, I don't know how long it will take to collect all the treasures."
First in Xia Yue City, the Lord of Xia Yue City deceived him into getting the Linglong Water Heart, and then he had to go through all kinds of tricks to get the Qiankun Compass. The same is true now in Tiandu City.
"It's just that I don't know what the master of Tiandu City is planning to do here?"
Ling Xiao was confused and didn't know why the Lord of Tiandu City did this. However, Ling Xiao soon discovered something was wrong. Ling Xiao looked at his hand.
really!
Ling Xiao's Qiankun Ring has been taken away!
"Is it for the Qiankun Compass?" Ling Xiao's heart sank, but then he thought that the opening of the Qiankun Compass requires a secret word to decipher. "If it is really for the Qiankun Compass, then he will definitely come and ask for the secret word, and we will wait a minute.
I don’t know if it’s against this.”
Ling Xiao's eyes flashed. The reason why he thought of the Qiankun Compass was because Ling Xiao's body was the only one that would attract others.
If we talk about the thunder gun, it is also an extremely precious magic weapon, as are the kung fu secretaries that Ling Xiao practiced. After Ling Xiao came to Qiankun State, in order not to be remembered, he used it extremely rarely and had no use at all.
People know.
The Lord of Tiandu City and Ling Xiao had never met before, presumably because of the Universe Compass Ling Xiao got from Lord Xia Yue!
"It's really abominable!" Ling Xiao cursed secretly when he thought of the Qiankun Diagram. He really didn't expect that the Tiandu City Lord's methods were so weird, and he couldn't guard against it.
However, Ling Xiao quickly calmed down and quietly calculated how to escape.
Looking at the place where his hand was locked, he saw that the chain above was glowing with cold light, and there was a faint chill coming from it. Ling Xiao knew that it was probably made of some special material.
"Try to see if you can break free first, and then make plans."
While Ling Xiao was thinking about it, he looked towards the window on the left, and all he saw was the sky full of red clouds. It must be that the sun was setting in the west.
Immediately, Ling Xiao wanted to use his true energy to condense on his arms to break free from the chains, but soon found that his Dantian was completely empty!
"What's going on?"
Ling Xiao looked in disbelief. After all, the Dantian was the foundation of martial arts. If it was damaged, it would mean that the road to martial arts was cut off. The empty Dantian frightened Ling Xiao.
Sensing that his martial arts cultivation was still there and that he could still see inside, Ling Xiao was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly went to his dantian to investigate, wanting to see what was going on.
After a while, Ling Xiao opened his eyes, his eyes full of confusion, and murmured to himself: "How could this be possible? Why did the true essence disappear out of thin air?"
It turned out that Ling Xiao's Dantian was not damaged, but the true energy inside had disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
"Have you been tricked again?" Thinking of the bright light hidden in the Qiankun Diagram before, he fainted in an instant, knowing that it must have been tricked. "Try to see if you can recover first.
"
The true essence was cultivated, and Ling Xiao's martial arts cultivation had not declined, so he thought of running the technique to see if he could restore the true essence.
However, Ling Xiao discovered something was wrong again.
Because when the technique was running, the meridians simply could not gather energy to move and condense the true energy, as if they were blocked by a stone, which made Ling Xiao feel very uncomfortable.
"What's going on?"
After investigation, Ling Xiao unexpectedly found that his eight extraordinary meridians were tightly locked. No matter what method Ling Xiao used, he could not open them. And Ling Xiao wanted to restore his true energy, but the meridians were blocked, so he couldn't do it at all.
arrive.
"Damn it!"
Ling Xiao roared angrily, full of unwillingness. He also knew that his meridians were probably blocked by some secret method, making it difficult to open them.
At this time, two jailers walked in. They seemed to have heard Ling Xiao's voice and looked over with strange expressions. One of them still cursed and said: "What the hell are you calling? Wait a minute, grandpa, I want you to look good!"
Another one also echoed: "That's right, no one can hear me if I scream in this dungeon, so it's better to save some energy!"
Ling Xiao's ears immediately caught the word "dungeon", and he finally knew where he was. It must be the prison under the city lord's mansion.
"The meridians are locked and the true energy is dispersed. Although I can reunite the true energy, it is too slow!"
Ling Xiao secretly thought and stopped paying attention to the two jailers. Then, he experimented with the Immortal Imperial Body. However, what Ling Xiao couldn't believe was that the Immortal Imperial Body was completely unable to exert its power. For a while,
, turned out to be at a loss, not knowing what to do.
At this moment, an idea flashed in his mind! Ling Xiao suddenly thought of something.
"Qing Yuan Shu! Doesn't Qing Yuan Shu dredge meridians?"
In an instant, Ling Xiao was filled with ecstasy, but he did not dare to show it. He suppressed his emotions and began to consider the next step.
"Now that I have the Qing Yuan Technique, it is only a matter of time before my strength recovers. Now I have to act according to the situation and find ways to delay time until my strength recovers before I can escape!"
A somewhat rough plan took shape in Ling Xiao's mind, but Ling Xiao had no choice but to sigh secretly and want to start using Qing Yuan Technique.
However, Ling Xiao was quickly interrupted because footsteps could be heard faintly outside the dungeon. Soon, a person came in. Ling Xiao easily recognized him. This was the housekeeper of the City Lord's Mansion.
During the banquet, he was the one commanding his subordinates.
He was wearing a green suit, his eyes were shining, and he was staring at Ling Xiao. As soon as he came in, the two jailers quickly greeted him, but he didn't hear them and walked towards Ling Xiao.
The butler's face was expressionless, probably because he had seen this kind of thing too many times.
After walking in front of Ling Xiao, the housekeeper stopped, stared at Ling Xiao, and said expressionlessly: "The city wants me to tell you, if you hand over the secret code to decipher the Qiankun Compass, I can let you go."
Of course Ling Xiao would not believe his lies, but just looked at him, with an ugly smile on his lips, and then said in a cold voice: I advise you to kill me quickly, as for the secret words of the Qiankun Compass?"
"Hugh - think!"
The steward of the City Lord's Mansion did not get angry because of this, but said quietly: "I can give you time to think about it." Then, he moved his right hand towards the two jailers.
The two jailers were obviously veterans. When they saw the butler waving, they immediately understood what he meant. One of them held a whip soaked in oil and walked over. One was in front of Ling Xiao, and the other was behind Ling Xiao.
behind.
"Give me a good beating and don't hold anything back. I'll come back later." The butler looked at them and said.
Then he said to Ling Xiao: "You should think carefully and don't make the city lord angry!"
After saying that, he walked directly outside the dungeon.
"As expected, I came here for the Qiankun Compass, but I don't know what use this Qiankun Compass is to them."
Ling Xiao thought to himself, but his thoughts were soon interrupted by the severe pain coming from his body. After the housekeeper left, the two jailers whipped him.
The whip was already soaked with oil. When it was suddenly hit on the body, it was extremely painful, like cutting flesh. Moreover, these two jailers were obviously experienced "old men", and the places where they were hit would cause severe pain.
place, but it won't hurt Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao has been reborn for three hundred years. What kind of suffering has he not suffered? He just endured it secretly without even making a cry.
As if provoked by Ling Xiao, the hands of the two jailers became heavier and heavier, but Ling Xiao didn't feel it at all. Instead, he secretly practiced Qingyuan Technique with the help of this blowing force.
I want to clear my meridians.
"It really works!"
After checking his eight extraordinary meridians, he found that the Ren meridian was slightly loose. He was immediately surprised and used Qing Yuan Technique more vigorously.
…
One day later, the meridians and Ren meridians in Ling Xiao's body had been completely unblocked. As a result, a little bit of true energy had gathered in the body, and the recovery speed was even faster.
During this period, the housekeeper came several times, but Ling Xiao remained silent every time, as if he had not heard the housekeeper's words, and was tortured all the time.
"As long as you give me a little more time, I can restore the true energy in my body, and then I can regain my strength. I just need to endure it for a while!"
Ling Xiao felt that the true energy in his body was slowly recovering. Although the recovery speed was very slow due to the unblocked meridians, with these true energy, the Qingyuan Technique could operate even more powerfully!
At this moment, the sound of footsteps came again. Ling Xiao thought it was some housekeeper coming to question him again, but he didn't bother to look and kept his head down.
"It seems that you don't want to say anything anymore?" A deep and deep voice came, and Ling Xiao suddenly looked up and saw that the Lord of the City that day was indeed standing in front of him.
Ling Xiao looked at him coldly, the true energy in his body dormant, and stopped the operation of Qingyuan Technique, for fear of being discovered by him and cutting off his escape route.
The Lord of Tiandu City saw Ling Xiao staring at him with cold eyes, and smiled faintly, saying: "It's okay if you don't tell me, then just wait, wait, I will come tomorrow after I have thoroughly practiced the Soul Capturing Technique.
If I use it on you, then all the secrets will be revealed in front of my eyes, and you will become my puppet."
"Hahaha!" After laughing a few times, the Lord of Tiandu City turned around and left, leaving Ling Xiao with a pale face.
"The art of...taking souls!"
As he murmured repeatedly, Ling Xiao's heart seemed to be in turmoil.
He also knows this soul-obsessing technique, and is very familiar with this vicious technique, but he has never seen it before. A person who is affected by the soul-deceiving technique will completely become the puppet of the caster, giving orders to the caster.
If you regard it as supreme, your own sanity will be wiped out, and few people can escape it.
Ling Xiao looked out the small window absentmindedly, and saw a bright moon hanging high in the sky, but one corner was vaguely missing. It must be approaching the fifteenth day of the month, the full moon day.
Looking at the bright moon, Ling Xiao seemed to suddenly remember something, his eyes flashed, he sank into his body again, and secretly practiced Qingyuan Technique.
