1, the beginning is hell(1/2)
Luoyun Sect, dungeon.
Xie Qingyun woke up faintly. The severe pain in his body made him hiss, as if he had just been hit by a truck.
When he opened his eyes, he was surrounded by natural caves. His limbs were chained into a large shape, leaning against the cold stone pillars.
Where am I?
Didn't I get shot?
He should be in the hospital even if he’s not dead!
I thought it was just an ordinary gambling operation, but I didn't expect that the gamblers were all wanted criminals with guns, and a fierce gun battle broke out in the small residence.
He began to think about it, and then, a wave of memories crowded into his mind inexplicably, and he had a splitting headache.
The unfamiliar information made his expression stiffen little by little.
I have traveled through time...
Xie Qingyun is a handyman disciple of the outer sect of the Luoyun Sect in Dongli Continent. His qualifications are barely up to the threshold of Qi refining. After working hard for more than three years, his cultivation has always stayed at the first level of spiritual energy. According to Zhang Zongzheng, the elder of the outer sect.
In other words, even a pig should be promoted to the second level in three years.
"But why am I in the dungeon?"
"Black Rock Chain, Demonic Sealing Pillar... isn't this the treatment for imprisoning a sect traitor? Even if I can't break through the second level, you won't treat me as a traitor, right?"
He tried hard to digest the memory and slowly understood his current situation.
The experience of the original owner is legendary. He was originally a poor boy from a poor family in Baojing City. More than three years ago, the old servant who took care of him died of illness. He saw the ghost of the old servant being sucked into the "Blood Hell Ghost Mansion" and threw himself on it.
He went up to save him, but he couldn't be saved, and he fell into the "Blood Hell Ghost Mansion".
This "Blood Hell Ghost Mansion" is a world specially designed to accommodate ghosts. The original owner was a mortal, just like a pot of fat falling into a mouse pit, attracting a large number of ghosts, and finally fell into the hands of Mrs. Huangquan.
Mrs. Huangquan is one of the ghost kings in the Blood Hell Ghost Mansion and is in charge of the Huangquan world.
The Qi Refiners and the Blood Prison Ghost Mansion have always been hostile. At that time, the Luoyun Sect made a surprise attack on the Huangquan world. Mrs. Huangquan faked her death and escaped, turning into a young girl and forcing Xie Qingyun to recognize her as her sister. She used this to hide her identity and was taken back to Luoyun together.
Zong.
Mrs. Huang Quan had been hiding in the Luoyun Sect for three years. Two days ago, she suddenly stole the Luoyun Sect's most precious treasure, the "Huntian Mirror."
The sect was shaken up and down!
Sect leader Li Lingxiu was furious.
As the "younger brother", the original owner was immediately imprisoned and subjected to retaliatory beatings and torture. The entire sect did not believe the original owner's confession, thinking that he must be an accomplice, and forced him to hand over the Hun Tian Mirror.
Of course the original owner couldn't hand it over, so Li Lingxiu ordered a "soul search". Elder Duan, who was good at "soul search", went out on business and would not be able to come back until two days later, so he was temporarily imprisoned in the dungeon.
"What kind of human suffering is this?" Xie Qingyun's spine felt cold, and his heart became cold.
He searched for the memory of "Soul Search" in his mind. Soon, he discovered that it was an extremely vicious evil technique. People who were subjected to "Soul Search" would become walking zombies, that is, vegetative people.
It is said that vegetative people are actually conscious, but they cannot control their bodies. It is like being imprisoned in a small dark room, which is probably ten times and a hundred times more painful than being in jail...
Thinking of this, Xie Qingyun's scalp felt numb and he felt chilly.
"How to do how to do……"
"I don't want to become a vegetable..."
Xie Qingyun's beautiful fantasy about time travel was completely shattered, and now only anxiety and fear remain.
I am only on the first level of spiritual breath, and it is impossible to escape from prison...
The original owner's parents died, and the old servant who depended on each other also died. There is no impression of other relatives in his memory.
He was looked down upon in the sect because of his low qualifications, and he had no friends at all.
Unless the Huntian Mirror can be retrieved...
Xie Qingyun's eyes lit up, like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw, but soon dimmed again.
How can I find it now?
That cheap sister’s methods are unpredictable. Even if you give me a chance, what will happen to her?
No solution!
Xie Qingyun collapsed, his eyes dull.
At this time, there was the sound of chains moving at the end of the dark corridor, and it seemed that the door was opening.
Then there were footsteps.
The fire on the wall automatically ignited, and a middle-aged man with an honest face appeared in front of Xie Qingyun expressionlessly.
Xie Qingyun's memory related to this person appeared in his mind: Zhang Zongzheng, the elder of Luoyun Sect's outer sect.
Zhang Zongzheng said coldly: "Elder Duan returns to the sect early and will arrive at noon at the latest."
Xie Qingyun's pupils suddenly shrank, and a cold air rushed from the soles of his feet straight to his forehead.
"You are collaborating with ghosts, breaking your bones and scattering ashes is a trivial matter!" Zhang Zongzheng saw that he didn't speak, and continued coldly, "It was the sect that rescued you from the Blood Hell Ghost Mansion, and this is how you repaid me? Do you know
I wonder, once the news of the theft of the Huntian Mirror spreads, it will inevitably lead to a massive attack by the Blood Spirit Sect and the Ghost Rong Sect?"
In the Age of Ending Dharma, when spiritual energy is thin, the Luoyun Sect is able to occupy Luoyun Mountain, a blessed place in the spiritual mountain, and the Huntian Mirror is indispensable for restraining evil and worshiping ghosts.
Xie Qingyun forced himself to calm down and said: "It is certainly not a pity to die as a disciple, but doesn't Elder Zhang find it strange why Madam Huang Quan didn't kill me to silence me?"
Zhang Zongzheng's eyes flashed slightly, he hummed, and said: "No matter what she is planning, it does not prevent you from being dealt with first."
Xie Qingyun said: "Disciple has a suggestion."
This kid used to be submissive, but suddenly he seemed like a different person... Zhang Zongzheng was taken aback, frowned and said, "What do you want to say?"
Xie Qingyun said: "Please let the elders tell you what happened. Maybe the disciples can find useful clues from it." So far, he only knows that the Huntian Mirror was stolen, but he still doesn't know exactly how it was stolen.
Zhang Zongzheng pondered for a moment and said: "It happened two days ago..."
Two days ago happened to be the Luoyun Sect's ten-year inner sect competition. As usual, fifty handyman disciples were transferred from the outer sect into the inner mountain to take charge of the layout and cleaning of the venue. Xie Qingyun and his cheap sister were also among them.
.
In the middle of the competition, the sect leader Li Lingxiu discovered that someone had violated the prohibition of the Star Reaching Pavilion. He immediately rushed into the Star Reaching Pavilion, only to find that the Huntian Mirror was missing.
Li Lingxiu immediately activated the mountain protection formation and quickly sent people to search, finding that only Xie Qingyun's cheap sister was missing.
"Think carefully. If you can provide clues to retrieve the Hun Tian Mirror, this elder will intercede with the sect master on your behalf."
Zhang Zongzheng has left, and the dungeon has plunged into darkness again.
Xie Qingyun pondered and gradually came up with several questions:
First, even if no one is guarding the Star Reaching Pavilion, there are still many restrictions. How can my cheap sister break the restrictions and steal treasures and escape in just a few breaths?
Second, what was Cheap Sister’s motive for stealing the Hun Tian Mirror?
Third, since the cheap sister has obtained the treasure and my brother has lost the use value, why not kill me to silence me? With her unpredictable methods, wouldn't it be easy to put a poisonous spell on me in advance?
Fourth, why didn’t the original owner report it?
With many years of criminal investigation experience, he feels that as long as these questions are solved, there will be a clue that goes straight to the core. It is not known whether that clue will be useful to the current situation, but it is the only hope.
He closed his eyes, and a three-dimensional place appeared in his mind, which was the venue for the Inner Sect Competition. Time moved forward bit by bit, and the scene changed bit by bit, until the Hun Tian Mirror was stolen and he was arrested.
Until the torture.
I repeated this several times and found nothing of value.
Directly in front of the venue is Guangnan Hall. Behind Guangnan Hall is a road leading directly up the mountain. There is a high tower on the mountain, which is the Star-Zhaing Pavilion.
The distance from the venue to Zhaixing Pavilion is about three hundred meters.
"Li Lingxiu's reaction was extremely fast. From the time he discovered that the Hun Tian Mirror was stolen to the moment he activated the mountain protection array to prohibit entry and exit, it would not have taken more than fifty seconds."
He couldn't help but frown, "Although the original owner knows very little about the world of cultivation, it is simply impossible for him to break the ban and steal the treasure and escape in fifty seconds."
Xie Qingyun suddenly remembered the "Secret Room Murder Case" in his previous life. The two seemed to have the same purpose - creating impossible conditions for committing the crime.
Most of the murderers in the secret room murders were trying to escape legal sanctions, but what was Mrs. Huangquan doing?
"Maybe the woman didn't escape at all? Then where would she be hiding?"
"Master said that to solve a case, you must look at the overall situation——"
When did this game start?
three years ago!
Xie Qingyun began to sort out his memories, sorting out and summarizing all the memories from the original owner's accidental fall into the Blood Hell Ghost Mansion to the theft of the Hun Tian Mirror.
"The Inner Sect Competition is the only opportunity for outer sect disciples to enter the inner mountain. Li Lingxiu will only leave the Star Reaching Pavilion during the Inner Sect Competition. Therefore, the Inner Sect Competition is also one of the conditions for stealing treasures."
"The original owner's fall into the Blood Hell Ghost Mansion was purely an unfortunate accident, which can rule out man-made calculations. My biggest role in this game is to cover for Mrs. Huang Quan, and now it seems that the secondary role is to lock Luoyun Sect
suspects."
"Why did Sister Cheap deliberately expose herself to Luoyun Sect?"
"Making a bold assumption, what will Li Lingxiu do after he targets Madam Huangquan? Attack the Huangquan world with his clan?"
To be continued...
