Kunlun one millet

Chapter 32

"I... If you beg for mercy, you can't be considered... a hero! Ahhh——"

The torture room was filled with the howls of prisoners, and Zhao Mi picked out his ears leisurely:

"A good man? What kind of a good man are you? If you fought with real swords and guns on the battlefield, I still reluctantly admit what you said, sneaking and following the villagers to Yanze City, just idle around all day long, and that's all. Fabricate rumors and disturb the market, is this considered a hero?"

Zhao Mi ran around with his grandfather when he was a child, and he had seen many of these "green forest heroes". Forced to become bandits and bandits.

So Zhao Mi took the opportunity to talk about the truth: "If you are really a good man, then don't be a tiger. If the evil spirits really spread the plague, what good will it do you? Common people want to live in good weather and without catastrophe. You should be lucky I am just spreading rumors, if there are really evil methods to spread the plague, you would have been beheaded for public display."

The prisoner was sweating all over because of the severe pain, and his whole body was hanging on the torture rack and convulsed. After the pain was relieved, his face was full of fear.

"It doesn't hurt anymore?" Zhao Mi smiled and said, "Don't worry, ordinary people eat one bite at a time, and the Gu worms are the same. When it gets into the intestines, you will feel more pain. The last guy who was fed with Gu worms , In the end, the pain was so great that he cut open his belly with a sharp knife and pulled out his intestines. Guess what he saw? A long worm came out and rushed towards his face. That scene, tsk tsk..."

The prisoner's face was terribly pale, and the pain that had been relieved for a while reappeared faintly. It was like the feeling of dozens of steel knives being stabbed into the stomach, and he really didn't want to experience it again:

"I said it! I said it all! It was the big boss who asked us to do this!"

"The head of the family?" Zhao Mi asked: "Who is your last name, tall, short, fat, and thin, where are you now?"

"The head of the family is named Xiong, with big arms and a round waist, and he is good at wielding a mace." The prisoner quickly explained: "Our group started to hang out with the head of the family six or seven years ago. Foreman, go to Qingluo Mountain to join the gang."

"Are you a miner?" Zhao Mi rubbed his fingers, as if he could activate the Gu worm at any time.

Seeing this, the prisoner started to talk like beans: "Yes, I used to go to the mine in Yuyang County. The foreman and the mine owner urged me every day, and I was whipped if I moved too slowly. The food I ate was mixed with sand. For flour bread, hundreds of people died in the mine, and the bodies were thrown into the ditch casually. The brothers really had no way out, so they defected to the head of Xiong Da in Qingluo Mountain."

Zhao Mi asked again: "Qingluo Mountain? How many people do you have in total?"

"About two thousand, many miners in Yuyang County have taken refuge there." The prisoner felt his stomach calm down and felt a little relieved.

"Besides you, how many people did Master Xiong send to Yanze City?"

"One or two hundred people? I don't know too well."

"Aside from spreading rumors like you, what purpose do you have?" Seeing that the prisoner hesitated a bit, Zhao Shu yelled as the prisoner felt the cramping again when he changed his hand gestures:

"Save, save people! The fairy chief of Chiyundu was captured by you, we are here to save him!"

"Oh?" Zhao Mi became curious now: "You two hundred people, not to mention sneaking into Yanze City pretending to be villagers, even if you are an officer with a helmet and armor, you want to rescue Sang from the county prison. It's not easy for Huazi either. It's a bit whimsical for you people like this."

The prisoner was dripping with sweat: "That's all I know, the boss didn't say anything else!"

Zhao Mi was noncommittal, and called the yamen servant in: "Now take a team to the small courtyard in the east of the city, capture all the faces of the nearby students, and bring them over for him to identify them one by one."

The yamen servant was ordered to leave, and the prisoner looked down at his stomach: "Then I..."

Zhao Mi waved his hand and asked the jailer to take the prisoner away: "I can take the Gu worm out, but only if you identify the accomplices. You'd better hope that we can catch a few more people, and your days of suffering will be short." shorter."

The prisoner was taken away crying, Zhao Mi turned his head with a smile and saw Chen Shuban huddled in the corner with a pale face.

"Scared? This is the first time I have seen torture to extract a confession?" Zhao Mi picked up the record, glanced at it, nodded and praised: "Good words!"

Chen Shuban supported his wrist and relaxed: "Official Zhao Fu praised it absurdly. It is indeed the first time for Xiaosheng to see it. There may be omissions in the record."

"No, it looks good to me." Zhao Mi smiled and said, "Actually, I don't like torture either. The method of beating people to pieces is laborious and ugly."

When Chen Shuban hesitated to speak, Zhao Mi asked, "Do you think my method is more severe than those corporal punishments?"

"Xiaosheng has heard a little about the theory of Gu insects. It is a strange and profound technique in Jiuli Kingdom. Males are called Gu masters and females are called Gu mothers. They can control all kinds of insects, and they specialize in harming people with highly poisonous snakes and insects." Chen Shu Do the words.

Zhao Mi's eyes lit up: "You know a lot."

Chen Shuban was ashamed and said: "To tell the truth to Zhao Fuli, Xiaosheng also wanted to worship in the temple and practice magic arts, but after a few years, he got nothing, so he had to return to his hometown to be a teacher of Kaimeng, and by the way, he would copy and write notes for others. ...Zhao Talisman really knows Gu worms?"

Zhao Mi smiled and waved his hands: "Where? Jiuli Kingdom's Gu skills are all secrets of the clan village, and no outsiders can learn it. What I poured into him was not Gu insects at all, but a bowl of talisman water. The air piercing heart talisman, and pouring some ink, is purely a charlatan's method to fool ordinary people."

The so-called pain is unreasonable, and the reverse qi pierces the heart and melts water into the abdomen, which will make the five Tibetan qi channels intertwined and disordered, and the pain is unbearable.But as long as the opponent knows a little about breathing and refining qi, and knows that distributing and moving qi can dissolve qi knots, this technique is completely useless.

Among other things, if Zhao Mi didn't activate the spell, the adverse energy would dissipate on its own after one day's effect, and it wouldn't leave behind the root cause of the disease, which was far worse than the real Gu technique.

What's more, Gu worms, Gu techniques and the like are better in being weird and unpredictable, rather than fighting in battle.The Jiuli Kingdom mainly relied on the magicians of those shrines and shrines to fight against foreign countries, and they were still able to call wind and rain, and swallow clouds and fog.

After a while, Zhao Mi asked the yamen servant to bring Na Sang Huazi. After these days of interrogation, Zhao Mi already knew his identity.

This Sang Huazi is not a casual cultivator like Ding Maocai who has recently joined him, but a cultivator who has been in Chiyundu since the beginning of the Five Kingdoms War.

"Speaking of this Scarlet Cloud City, the origin is quite strange."

In the torture room, Zhao Mi didn't let the jailer tie Sang Huazi to the rack, but gave him a stool to sit on, and the two talked face to face.Zhao Mi held the cattail fan that Sang Huazi had held in his hand, looked at the vermilion talisman and said:
"Outsiders say that Chi Yundu is an army formed by a group of refugees spontaneously. This is not telling the truth. In the past, the Tianxia Dynasty fell apart, and many monks and sects were involved in it. Some old grievances followed As a result, monks and masters fought each other to seek revenge, causing great chaos, and the inheritance of countless sects withered.

Among them, there was a sect of monks who cultivated in Chiyun Mountain. They suffered from great chaos and disasters, many disciples were killed and injured, and only three disciples escaped.Seeing the decline of the world and the suffering of the common people, they did not choose to escape into the mountains and forests, but resolutely entered the world.

At the beginning, these three disciples only did some small things such as administering medicine and practicing medicine, sending clothes and repairing houses. Later, as their followers increased day by day, they began to gather refugees and teach them to accumulate good deeds and repent for their mistakes.If there is surplus money and rice, it will be used to help the poor, and I will not keep more.

Over the past few decades, these three disciples have had millions of people under their command, and they have also passed on the magic formulas of the Chiyun Mountain school to everyone, and twenty-four of them have achieved success in cultivation, known as Chiyun Er Fourteen generals.And these three disciples are regarded as the three elders of Chiyun by their followers. "

Sang Huazi was sitting on the bench, his hands and fingers were twisted and swollen, his clothes were messy and his hair was in a mess, but his expression and eyes were still firm. Hearing Zhao Mi recount the origin of Chiyundu, there was a little pride in his eyes.

"You are one of the twenty-four generals of Chiyun, right?" Zhao Mi tapped the cattail fan with his fingers, "I don't know much about the Chiyun Mountain school. The cloud descended and bestowed three volumes of immortal scriptures, namely "Chi Ming Yu Zhang", "Zhu Ling's Golden Book of Saving Souls" and "The Essence of Flame Essence Transformation."

Sang Huazi inadvertently showed a look of surprise on his face, but then he closed his eyes and said nothing.

Seeing him like this, Zhao Mi knew he was right, and at the same time secretly admired Ling Xiao's experience and insight.

The so-called three volumes of the Immortal Scriptures were actually after Lingxiao saw the vermilion talisman on the cattail fan, he deduced and restored it, and guessed that the inheritance of Chiyun Mountain came from an ancient immortal named Dongdan Yuanjun.

Lingxiao once had a discussion with Dongdan Yuanjun, so he knew that the other party had three volumes of fairy scriptures.As for whether Dongdan Yuanjun descended to bestow the Dharma, Lingxiao can't be sure. Maybe it's just that the Patriarch of Chiyun Mountain found the treasured scriptures left by Dongdan Yuanjun in the mortal world, so he made up the legend about the descending of the immortal.

With the mentality of giving it a try, Zhao Mi pretended to be profound in front of Sang Huazi, and the result really hit the mark.

"The school of Chiyun Mountain inherits the tradition and is best at controlling fire. This talisman fan of yours can not only fan the wind and ignite the fire, kill and attack, but also adjust the internal and external aura." Zhao Mi lightly shook the cattail fan: "If someone is possessed by spirits and ghosts, you With a wave of this talisman fan, it can send out real fire to kill evil spirits, and it can also dispel the aura of illness. If the cultivation base reaches the sky, the talisman fan should be sacrificed more, and with a light wave, it can emit flames that burn the mountains, forests and city walls. No matter how prepared Yanze City is, it will not be able to withstand the fire that burns the city."

Sang Huazi opened his eyes and said, "Excessive taxation by officials of the imperial court is worse than disasters caused by water and fire! We raised the flag of righteousness, revitalized the road, and waved our fan to guard against the fire, just to gain respite for the living people.

"This is something Chi Yun, who protected the refugees back then, can still say it." Zhao Mi said, "But now you are making noise in Xingluo County, can you still say that you have no intention of acting fiercely? Bandits roam the village, looting at every turn, Its tyrannical behavior is appalling, can this kind of thing be regarded as a righteous army or a flag of righteousness?"

The corners of Sang Huazi's eyes tightened, and he was silent for a moment before he spoke: "If it weren't for the excessive demands of the court officials and the tyrannical government of the local counties and counties, why would the people be willing to take risks and plunder?"

"That's the same kind of talk again." Zhao Mi put the cattail fan aside: "The common people may have no choice but to follow the thief, but you Chiyun sent people to Xingluo County, how do you know that it's not for the sake of disaster? Let's just say that it's okay. Unscrupulous thieves and bandits know that they have you as their backing, but they will act recklessly and indiscriminately to kill! Recently, the thieves even sent people to Yanze City to spread rumors, saying that evil methods are causing plagues, and Xingluo County will be plagued by plagues. You guys If Chi Yundu really claims to hold high the banner of righteousness, why doesn't he eradicate these scourges? Why are the civilians killed? I don't believe you are completely ignorant of this matter!"

"Yes, we know." Sang Huazi readily admitted: "Unfortunately, it is no longer the time when Chiyundu was founded, and the purge of military discipline will not be accomplished overnight. There is nothing to avoid. If it were you, you would be able to make this Help the thieves change their minds in a blink of an eye?"

"I can't do it, so I won't join forces with those thieves to make trouble from the very beginning." Zhao Mi said straightly: "I know that some of you in Chiyun are dissatisfied with the dismissal of the imperial court, but now the situation is settled, and the five kingdoms It would be inappropriate to stop the battle and hold the banner of Chiyundu again.

You occupy Cangwu Ridge in the south, and I can't control it, but why do you have to travel thousands of miles to Xingluo County?Or, is there something here that is worth getting at any cost? "

Sang Huazi closed his eyes and didn't answer, Zhao Mi laughed, "I'll know if you don't tell me, Ding Mao is not as persevering as you are, and he has already revealed all the news about your intention to forge a magic weapon."

"Traitor!" Sang Huazi yelled angrily.

"This is not a traitor." Zhao Mi said, "He has already said that he is a casual cultivator who has only joined Chiyundu in recent years. There is no such thing as like-mindedness between you, and you can still count on others to work hard for you. In the end?"

"What exactly do you want to ask?" Sang Huazi said impatiently.

Zhao Mi's eyes were sharp: "I want to know the real purpose of all of you, Chi Yun, who came to Xingluo County. Don't talk to me about raising the banner of righteousness and eliminating tyranny. I want to know why you forged the magic weapon? What are you planning to use it against? people?"

"It's not that we are dissatisfied with Chiyun's dismissal." Sang Huazi didn't answer directly: "It's just that Huaxu country is hopeless now, and the court is full of incompetent people, they are the real source of disaster! "

The corner of Zhao Mi's mouth twitched: "Don't tell me that Chi Yun is planning to rebel?"

"If you regard this as a rebellion, then it is." Sang Huazi said frankly: "We are not for the survival of one sect, but for the livelihood of millions of people. Do you think we have never complained to the court about Chen Love? We tried, and one of the three elders was even suppressed at the foot of Difei Mountain!"

It was the first time for Zhao Mi to hear about this, and Sang Huazi was a little excited: "Later we understood that the whole court, no matter whether the king or the dignitaries, cannot save the people from fire and water. If they can't do it, then don't fall for high positions! If you can't listen to good and bad words, then let Jianfeng speak!"

"Finished?" Zhao Mi asked coldly with a blank face.

"It's over." Sang Huazi straightened his figure: "You don't have to ask any more, I won't say anything about the rest, just cut off my head and hang it high at the north gate, and I want to see how Chi Yundu breaks in Yanze City."

Zhao Mi felt helpless, and as soon as he got up, he heard a gentle voice behind him:

"Sang Huazi, you can't die easily."
