The ninth and twentieth chapters of the Taoist Prison
Seeing Taoist Tianwu's disheveled hair, skinny body, and miserable appearance like an evil ghost, Yu Chengyang suddenly felt a surge of rage in his heart.
He still remembered that the last time he saw Master Tianwu, he had a red face, a fat head and big ears, and his whole body was as fat as a ball. He couldn't bear to think about the torture he suffered in the prison to become as thin as dry wood.
"Hey..." Yu Chengyang shook his head and sighed, suppressing the anger that had just arisen in his heart.
This is the Tao Fa Sect, and to put it bluntly, this is not a place where he can run wild.
The previous master of Sanqing Temple was imprisoned here until his death. He, Sanqing Temple, could only swallow his anger and swallow this breath.
Yu Chengyang stepped into the cell, stepped forward to help the weak Tianwu Taoist, and said: "Junior brother, let's go."
However, the cell door suddenly clanged and was closed by two Dao Fa Sect disciples outside the door.
The cell door is closed, the locking formation lowers the restrictions, and the cell door is immediately locked.
"What does this mean?" Yu Chengyang asked, staring at the person outside the door with stern eyes, his voice filled with suppressed anger.
"Hmph!" The goateeed man among the two snorted coldly and asked: "My Dao Fa Sect killed two Saint Ancestors in the Great Su Empire. You don't know, right?"
When Yu Chengyang heard this, his heart immediately sank, and he responded: "That is the grudge between your Daofazong and Emperor Dasu, what does it have to do with us?"
"What does it have to do with you?" The goatee man raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Let me tell you, you two are from the Su country, so you are guilty, and you must be punished if you are guilty."
"Haha, there's no need to accuse someone of this!" Yu Chengyang laughed angrily.
The man with the goatee curled his lips and said: "Don't pretend to be innocent in front of me. Don't I know why the Shen family of Zhongzhou got into trouble with the Emperor of Suzhou?"
Without waiting for Yu Chengyang to respond, he continued: "It's all because of Zhang Xiaozu, your good disciple of Sanqing Temple. One of you is the master of Sanqing Temple, and the other is Zhang Xiaozu's master. How dare you two say that you are incompetent?"
Sin? It’s not an exaggeration to say that you two killed the holy ancestor of our Dao Fa Sect!”
"Senior brother, what's wrong with the pawn? What happened outside?" Taoist Tianwu heard this and was confused.
He has been imprisoned in this prison for more than a year. No one has told him about the outside world, so he knows nothing about the outside world.
"I'm fine, little soldier. A lot of things have happened over the past year. I'll tell you about it after I get out." Yu Chengyang responded, stared at the goatee man and asked, "Is this what your sect leader meant?"
"Our sect leader is kind-hearted and has forgiven you two for your mistakes, but I am too angry and unwilling to forgive you." The goatee man gritted his teeth and said angrily.
"I gave your sect leader a drop of Wutong Tear before he agreed to let me go. You disobeyed his order and did this. Have you thought about the consequences if you let him know about it?" Yu Chengyang asked with a sneer, knowing that he was not a Taoist sect.
As the sect leader wanted, he was relieved.
The goatee man looked a little stiff when he heard this.
"Brother, you-"
Taoist Tianwu wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Yu Chengyang's gesture.
"If this matter spreads out, the leader of the Daofa Sect will definitely be stigmatized for not keeping his word. Can you two bear this crime?" Yu Chengyang raised his voice slightly.
A look of panic flashed in the goatee man's eyes, which was caught by Yu Chengyang.
The other person, on the other hand, had already lowered his head with a guilty conscience, not daring to meet Yu Chengyang's eyes.
"I heard that your Sanqingguan's sect-suppressing secret "The Ancient Divine Refining Technique" is very interesting. Take it out and show it to the two of me, and we will let you two go." The goatee man was too lazy to talk to Yu Chengyang and directly exposed his
fox tail.
"Isn't this... maybe not good?" Yu Chengyang twirled his beard with a look of embarrassment on his face.
"Senior brother, you must not do this." Taoist Tianwu shouted urgently.
"Shut up!" The goatee-bearded man scolded the Tianwu Daoist, then looked at Yu Chengyang and said: "You can rest assured that we will never tell anyone else after seeing it. Only God knows about this matter. You
Two people know it, and I know it, and no one else will know it."
He saw that Yu Chengyang was interested, so he hurriedly used words to seduce him.
"I'll give you two a look and then let us go?" Yu Chengyang asked in confirmation.
"Um..." The goatee man smoothed his beard and said with a dry smile: "I heard that Zhang Xiaozu has many treasures that have powerful nourishing power for the soul. As the master of Sanqing Temple, he must have filial piety to give you one.
Two pieces, how about you lend them to me and the two of you to play with?"
"Are there any other conditions? Let's tell them all." Yu Chengyang said.
"We also heard that Zhang Xiaopeng has a lot of star pills, and I must be filial to you. The two of us happen to be short of a few star pills to practice, and we want to borrow some from fellow Taoists. It's not much, five hundred pills for each person is enough." Goat Beard
The man said with a shy face.
He opened his mouth like a lion, mainly because he wanted to give Yu Chengyang room for bargaining.
"Why don't you die!" Taoist Tianwu cursed angrily.
"Junior brother, don't be angry." Yu Chengyang waved his hands and said, "As long as you can get out of here, I can say anything, but..."
"Just what?" When the man with the goatee heard Yu Chengyang's words, his eyes suddenly lit up, feeling that he was going to get rich today.
"It's just that I don't have that many star pills." Yu Chengyang replied.
"How many do you have?"
"I only have two hundred pills with me."
"Two hundred is fine. One hundred for each of us." The goatee man nodded hurriedly.
"Okay. Please come in and talk. My Sanqingguan's Zhenzong secret knowledge is not a good thing, but it cannot be shown to others casually. You two can come in and read it quietly." Yu Chengyang took out the jade slip from the void space.
"Haha, that makes sense." The goatee man laughed happily, and immediately took out the token and started to open the cell door.
But he was stopped by the square-faced man next to him and said: "We are no match for him. It may be dangerous to enter the cell. Let him hand the jade slip out and we will return it to him after reading it."
Hearing this, Yu Chengyang's eyes fell on the square-faced man, and he cursed angrily in his heart: "The saying is true, a biting dog never barks."
Because his purpose was revealed by the square-faced man, he really wanted to lure the two people into the cell, and then restrain them with thunderous means.
He was about to succeed, but the man with the square face who had been silent and looked very guilty, as if he was forced by the man with the goatee to stand here, found out. He was naturally angry.
The man with the goatee nodded repeatedly when he heard the words. He felt that the square-faced man's words were very reasonable, so he looked at Yu Chengyang and said: "You also heard what my junior brother said, so... right. The two of us promise to return it to you after reading it.
"
He waved to Yu Chengyang and motioned Yu Chengyang to hand over the jade slip.
Yu Chengyang shook his head and said: "This is the Tao Fa Sect. Even if I have great courage, I don't dare to act wild here. Your two worries are really unnecessary.
As the master of Sanqing Temple, how can I hand over the secret knowledge of the temple to outsiders?
So if you two really want to see it, go into the cell and I will show it to you.
If not, forget it.
Even if I die in this prison, I will never compromise and commit the crime."
"This..." Yu Chengyang's determination put the man with the goatee in trouble. He looked at the square-faced man and said, "Junior brother, I think what he said makes sense. This is the Dao Fa Sect. If you give him the courage, he won't dare to kill the two of us.
how."
"It's better to be careful," the square-faced man said cautiously.
"But what should we do if he refuses to give in?"
"Then lock them both up for two months first, and then we can talk." The square-faced man's words were ruthless, and he walked away after speaking.
"This... Okay, I'll listen to you. Hey, you two are really toasting and not having to drink wine as a penalty. I'm leaving." The goatee man raised his feet and pretended to leave, scaring Yu Chengyang.
"I can satisfy your last two conditions first. The first condition is that after you two let me leave, we can go find a hidden place outside and watch again. How about that?" Yu Chengyang asked.
"Brother, let's go quickly. We have to go back and report to the sect master." The square-faced man shouted as he walked out.
"Hmph! You two should reflect on yourself." The man with the goatee said a harsh word, then stepped forward to chase after the man with the square face.
"Fuck your grandma!" Yu Chengyang watched the two of them really leave the prison and couldn't help but cursed in anger.
"Junior brother, actually I think the old guy's suggestion is acceptable. He is also the master of a sect after all. How can he safely hand over Zhenzong's secret knowledge out of the cell and hand it over to two of us strangers?" After leaving the prison, Goatee said
The man said to the square-faced man.
In his opinion, Yu Chengyang was already very wise, but it was his junior brother who was making things difficult for others.
The man with the square face turned to look at the man with the goatee and said, "Believe me, that old guy has no good intentions. Whether we enter the cell or find a hidden place outside, we will face him head-on. He will definitely
He will attack both of us. This old guy is not as friendly and easy to bully as he appears on the surface."
"Now what?"
"First go and report back to the leader and tell him that he has been released. Let the old guy suffer some hardships in the prison and then talk to him."
"What if someone else finds out?" the goatee man asked worriedly.
"Let's keep an eye on them more in the past two months. If anyone sees it, just say it's to vent the anger of the Holy Ancestor who became an immortal, so we locked them up and no one will take care of them."
"Listen to you."
The square-faced man frowned and pondered for a moment, then said: "In case we are robbed by other brothers, we will come again in the afternoon and pretend to agree to let them go outside to see the skills and trick them into getting the treasure and the Star Pill first."
"Opposite pole, opposite pole." The goatee man nodded hurriedly, thinking that he would soon get a treasure that nourishes the soul and a hundred star pills. He was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.
In the prison, Taoist Tianwu suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself twice. He felt guilty and blamed himself to Yu Chengyang: "Brother, I'm sorry, it was me who caused you trouble!"
"We senior brothers, let's talk about whether we are involved or not." Yu Chengyang waved his hands.
After that, start taking things out from the void space.
Bathtub, water, tables and chairs, soft steps, bedding - Taoist Tianwu was stunned when he saw it.
When Sanqing Temple was disbanded, Yu Chengyang stored a lot of daily necessities in the void space, which just came in handy now.
"Here, let's take a Star Pill to warm up your body first." Yu Chengyang took out a jade box and handed it to Taoist Tianwu.
Taoist Tianwu opened the jade box and looked at a box full of star pills. His eyes almost popped out of his eyes in shock, and he cried out: "Brother, you have made a fortune!"
"It's not me who got rich, it was your precious apprentice who got rich! Pig head, do you want to eat it?" Yu Chengyang took out a braised pig head from the void space.
He knew that Taoist Tianwu must have suffered a lot in the prison, so before he came, he bought some of Taoist Tianwu's favorite braised pig heads and brought them to him.
"Gulu——" Taoist Tianwu stared at the pig head in Yu Chengyang's hand, swallowed hard, his nose felt sour, and he almost shed tears.
During the more than a year since he was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, the people from the Dao Fa Sect would only give him a bite of food if they remembered. They would not even visit him for half a year. He relied on his own energy in the void space to save food.
things that are still alive today.
All in all, I have to thank Zhang Xiaozu.
At that time in Yancheng, Zhang Xiaopou got a lot of Yuanshi Golden Pills and other miscellaneous pills by selling jade items, and gave them to him a lot. It was these pills that kept him from starving to death.
Otherwise he would have died of hunger long ago.
But if Yu Chengyang came another month later, he would have starved to death, because he had been without food for seven or eight days, and even a pair of cowhide boots had been chewed by him.
"Hurry up and take a Star Pill to recuperate your health, then take a bath and clean yourself before eating." Yu Chengyang urged.
"Yes." Taoist Tianwu nodded and took a star pill. He was supposed to sit down and adjust his breathing for a while, but he was greedy for the smell of braised pig heads, so he skipped the breathing adjustment directly, moved the bathtub to a corner of the cell, and poured
He went up to the water and began to take a bath. While washing, he asked: "Brother, what happened to the two saints of the Dao Fa Sect who died in the battle in Dasu? Also, how did the little pawn get rich? How could he have anything to do with the Shen family of Zhongzhou?
