Qingling Punishing Heart

Chapter 55 Itching (Second)
"A desperate job to run errands?" Su Ji opened his eyes slightly, and repeated Uncle Jing Ming's words.

"Actually, it's not that scary. I just want you to help fetch water. Although the monks here are fasting, they still have to drink water. Rainwater seeps from the top of the tower every time it rains. I want you to help fetch water from the tower. Get it off."

"It must be dangerous to get water from the top of the tower."

Uncle Jingming hesitated for a while, then said: "Young man, I think you are not bad, so I will not hide it from you. It is common to die when you go to the top of the tower to fetch water. But as long as you don't want to die now, you must go. Even if I If you are not allowed to go, other people will force you to go. The tower prison has its rules and regulations. Whoever has the highest cultivation base is the one who follows the rules. We are the third floor. Except for me, all the monks here are all mysterious before entering the tower. In the three realms of the Qing Dynasty, the higher the level, the higher the level of cultivation. Since my cultivation level is the lowest, I did the work of fetching water before. Now that you are here, it is your turn."

Su Ji glanced at the monks who were meditating indifferently, and said angrily: "Since everyone suffers together, why don't you find a way to go out together! Why do you have to divide the ranks? Those with bare feet are not afraid of wearing shoes. At worst, they can cast spells and hit the top of the tower. All jade and stone will be burned!"

Su Ji's voice became louder and louder, but the meditators around him were indifferent, not even a single one opened their eyes.

Uncle Jingming quickly covered Su Ji's mouth, shook his head and said, "An ambitious person like you would have killed himself long ago. The hardest thing here is to live, and the easiest thing is to die. If you want to If you want to die, don’t drag me down, just walk all the way to the bottom of the tower by yourself.”

Su Ji pulled his hand away and sat there aggrieved for an unknown how long...

Time was stretched extremely long in the Linglong Tower Prison, making it suffocating.There is no wine and no women here.The imprisoned monks can do nothing but close their eyes and meditate every day, just look at the wall, scratch their heads, or ask the side:
"Isn't it raining yet?"

If the answer is no, they must show impatience, complaining like ordinary people:

"I'm thirsty!"

"There is no more water, and I have to drink urine again!"

Not long after Su Ji entered the pagoda, he was not as thirsty as these people for the time being, but he had no water to take a bath, and his body would always be itchy.From time to time, bugs got into his clothes, so he had to scratch it with his hands habitually.

Uncle Jingming was free, seeing him scratching and scratching all day long, his back was dripping with blood, it was scary, so he leaned over and said:
"Don't scratch, you have to get used to it slowly. It's just that you will feel itchy at the beginning. After a long time, the sweat on your body will turn into mud scales. Not only will you not feel itchy, but it will be a little refreshing. Hehe, that kind of subtlety You'll know when the time comes."

Su Ji squeezed out a wry smile.

At this moment, he found Bai Xiu, who was meditating, silently swallowed something like a pill, and couldn't help asking Uncle Jingming:
"The one with the white sleeves is Bigu Dan?"

Uncle Jingming glanced at it, and said: "What bigu pill, it's the mud pill he rubbed off from his body..."

"Niwan?" Su Ji suddenly lost his appetite, and instantly felt full like he didn't want to eat anymore.

"Don't underestimate the Niwan, it is a good thing to maintain your cultivation level. As your cultivation level dissipates, people will become more and more hungry. The Niwan on a monk's body can not only replenish weak aura, but also satisfy hunger."

As he said that, Uncle Jingming also took out a clay pill, held it up in front of Su Ji, and flaunted, "I don't know how many years I haven't bathed. Look, mine is already so big. The light is still shining with oil. You have no cultivation base, and you will definitely be hungry soon. I will give it to you as a meeting gift."

Su Ji fought back not to vomit, a drop of cold sweat dripped from his forehead, politely declined:

"Hmm...how can I have the nerve to accept such a valuable thing? Brother Jing, let's keep it for myself."

Uncle Jingming didn't force it, immediately put the mud pellets into the dirty clothes, and praised: "You don't get paid for nothing, you really are not simple. To be honest, I really can't bear to give you such a good thing."

Su Ji looked at Uncle Jingming, but was speechless.The speechless uncle in front of him, to put it mildly, he has adapted to local conditions, but to put it bluntly, he is like a domesticated domestic animal, accustomed to surviving in a difficult environment.

What's even more ironic is that none of the people here are ordinary people.

Ordinary people are not qualified to suffer such a crime. Before entering the tower, these people are all prominent figures: nobles, elders, priests, heroes, outsiders...

But now their identities have long since ceased to exist. Now there are no heroes here, only a group of wolves without fangs, eagles without claws, and scorpions without hooks...

If you see a person talking about their past achievements, it must be that this person has just been here.Most people are reluctant to look back on the past, because the glorious past is too cruel compared to the current situation, like a dream, and some people even doubt whether they have really been brilliant.

This is a prison that obliterates all brilliance.

There is no need for jailers here, because no one can get out.

Freedom here is a myth, a miracle, an extravagant dream, and Su Ji is the greedy dreamer.

Once, while Uncle Jingming was sleeping, Su Ji came to a corner and asked Husi in a low voice:
"Have you heard of the Linglong Tower Prison?"

"I've never heard of the Linglong Pagoda Prison. I've heard of the Seven Treasures Linglong Pagoda. I've heard of it from my father. It's a treasure given to Li Jing, the Heavenly King of Tota, by the Lantern Burner of Lingjiu Mountain. It is said that the ancestors of the fox spirit in Qingqiu were suppressed in it. The reason is unknown, lost in the world, no one knows its whereabouts."

"Could it be that this is the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda?"

Su Ji murmured in a low voice, and suddenly remembered that Hua Rulang had given him a piece of Double Ninth Cake at the Nine Nine Double Ninth Festival Banquet.The shape of the Double Ninth Cake is the Linglong Pagoda, but that pagoda has nine floors, while this one has seven floors.

Hu Si suddenly said: "No matter what place this is, you must never trust the people here."

"why?"

"Don't ask why? I can't tell, I just feel that everyone here is untrustworthy."

Su Ji smiled and said, "Does that include you too?"

"Hmph, whatever you think, I'm running out of time anyway. My cultivation is fading, and it won't be long before I die..." Hu Si's tone was filled with an unprecedented desolation: "Do you still remember the first time?" When we met once, I told you that the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys of the strings are felt by the heart. In fact, depression is sorrow, and joy is happiness. Happy ending."

Su Ji's smile froze on his lips, and his expression gradually became serious.

"Is there any way to save you?"

Hu Si hesitated for a while, then replied, "There is a way, but you won't help me..."

"When did you learn not to be tricky?" Su Ji said anxiously, "Now that I'm helping you, I'm helping myself. Tell me!"

"I have to take another person's body... Will you help me kill your own kind?"
