man sanctified in death row vest

Chapter 222 The Entrance to Eternal Darkness (5200 words chapter)
Just do it.

Zheng Xiu has never been a person who looks forward and backward.

Otherwise, he would not be the richest man.

Things have been arranged.

Zheng Xiu asked Qing Shisan to catch "guilty" people from time to time and put them into "Infernal Purgatory" to be whipped, fried, and cut, constantly strengthening the impression of "Infernal Purgatory" among the people of the imperial city.

Now as long as he is in Zheng's house, Zheng Xiu can connect with the prison and let the "prisoner" go online.

After a lively dinner.

Zheng Xiu used "soaking in the bath" as an excuse to "wander" out of his body.

The human soul left the body and floated lightly into the night sky.

After the death of the crow raiser, Ye Weiyang was dead in name only, and the ravens were no longer disturbing in the night sky, and Zheng Xiu acted with a human soul even more recklessly.

Under the cover of the night, Zheng Xiu changed more than a dozen postures in the night sky, feeling the joy of the night wind passing through his body, and soon he arrived near the palace.

Of course, Zheng Xiu's posture seemed arrogant, but in fact he was loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and he was very careful.

The longer one has been in the industry, the more one understands that there are endless strange thaumaturgies in the thaumaturgist profession. Maybe a seemingly inconspicuous guard has thaumaturgy targeting human souls, so be careless.

Cross-legged at the high altitude of the imperial city, watching the movement of the fire in the palace, and after simply calculating the movement route of the palace guards, Zheng Xiu chose a hidden place outside the high wall of the palace, and went straight into the ground.

Even though Zheng Xiu has been sitting in the underground secret room of the palace for a hundred years from the perspective of "Gongsun Mo", he doesn't know where the entrance to the secret room is.However, the advantage of the [Fugue] posture is that it can penetrate any obstacle, and all walls are useless in front of the human soul.

After a while, Zheng Xiu successfully found the secret room.The secret room in the underground of the palace was spacious and spacious. Zheng Xiu was in the right direction and found it easily.

There was a dead silence in the pitch-black void, and there were occasional long and narrow wind sounds from above.

Jingle!Jingle!
On the upper floor of the hollow, there are many cages hung on the chains, and in the cages lie corpses that have been dead for a long time.

Zheng Xiu fell to the ground, and at this moment he was using the avatar of "Zheng E".

The surroundings were pitch black, and Zheng Xiu could barely make out the surrounding scenery in the darkness.

"There are many differences from more than 100 years ago."

Zheng Xiu thought to himself.

Zheng Xiu looked back, there was a door behind him, and he happened to be not far from the entrance when he landed.After thinking about it for a while, Zheng Xiu suppressed the idea of ​​finding out where the entrance is. It doesn't matter to him where the entrance is, as long as he can get in.

At this time, a vague suction came from the front, and Zheng Xiu's consciousness was in a trance for a while.It was an indescribable wonderful feeling. As long as Zheng Xiu's attention was focused on that "suction force", there would be a feeling of "floating on the clouds", "ebb and flow", "falling heavily" in an instant. The illusion made him moan involuntarily.

But soon, he was startled by his inexplicable "orgasmic feeling" and broke out in cold sweat.Human souls cannot easily approach there!After waking up, he quickly solidified his avatar and stepped firmly on the floor.

At this point, the strange sip force disappeared without a trace.

There was a look of astonishment in Zheng Xiu's eyes, his guess was right, there really was a place that was very close to the darkness!
Approaching with the posture of a human soul, he can clearly feel the... "temptation" from Chang An!
Yes, temptation.

Although it was only a momentary experience, the feeling even made Zheng Xiu understand the taste, and there was an urge to lean forward and be sucked dry. "Crack!" Zheng Xiu clenched his right fist and clapped his left palm, finally figured out how to describe the feeling of being attracted by Chang An.

"It's as if there is an enchanting beauty hidden there, seducing me proficiently in all kinds of postures."

That's the right feeling.

Thinking about it with lingering fear, Evil Boy Pony walked forward in the dark.

A rancid smell wafted over.

Panlong pillars as thick as five people's arms stood up one by one as the support of the underground palace.

Zheng Xiu looked left and right, there were no such pillars before.

"Slap!"

Zheng Xiu stepped on something, and leaned over to see, there were ravens that had been dead for a long time lying on the ground, and a group of fat white maggots were swimming on their backs on the rotting flesh.

Get up and continue to walk forward, and walk across a narrow bridge, under which is a "pool".

Zheng Xiu paused and saw that the pool was not filled with water, but corpses.Most of the corpses were separated, and the style of the prison uniform could be vaguely distinguished from the rotting clothes.

"Death row? What are you doing here?"

Zheng Xiu narrowed his eyes to distinguish, the scene in front of him was beyond imagination.

This is a dead pool.

Soon, Zheng Xiu walked across the narrow bridge and came to an empty platform.

No, not nothing!
Zheng Xiu stood on the edge of the platform, the hairs all over his body exploded, as if a bucket of ice water had poured him from head to toe, making him feel chilly.Zheng Xiu couldn't help muttering to himself: "Crazy! Simply crazy!"

In the center of the platform, a palm-sized gray "mirror" floats in the air.

The "mirror surface" is smooth, and the phantoms of a few red flowers float out from time to time, flashing across the "mirror surface".

It's a channel!

The Passage to Ever Darkness!

Zheng Xiu originally thought that in the underground of the palace, because of what Gongsun Mo did back then, a place where human souls gathered was born, which was almost ghostly, very close to eternal darkness.But Zheng Xiu was only half right.

It’s not that there is a place close to the eternal darkness underground in the palace, but that there is a place that can directly lead to the eternal darkness…

Entrance!

"What's behind Ever Darkness?"

"What can I get if I put my hand in it?"

"Can a living person squeeze through?"

"What will come out of it?"

"Is there longevity in it?"

"Is there invincibility?"

"Is there a happy life?"

The closer he got to the entrance, countless distracting thoughts arose in Zheng Xiu's mind.For a moment, countless crazy emotions such as greed, struggle, lust, hatred, and longing appeared in Zheng Xiu's eyes.

Every time a thought came up, Zheng Xiu couldn't help but take a step forward.

Every time he took a step, a distracting thought arose in his mind.

At the end, when Zheng Xiu came to the "mirror", incomprehensible ravings echoed in his ears, chirping and chirping, all noises.But these noises, like the charming and decadent voice of a woman, made him show an intoxicated expression.

"Meow!"

"I can't go any further!"

Zheng Xiu gritted his teeth and clapped his palms together to slap his deaf ears, but it had no effect on the raving noises in his ears.In desperation, Zheng Xiu knew that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, so he directly canceled the [Misty Journey] posture, and disappeared in front of the "entrance" in a puff of green smoke.

When I come back to my senses.

The water in Zheng Xiu's bath had already cooled down, and he gasped heavily in the water.

"call,"

A sigh came from above his head, Zheng Xiu raised his head in a daze, and saw a scene that made him laugh.

Feng Bei was dressed in black, with his hands folded on his chest, and a sneer on his face.Xiao Fengmiao squatted on top of her head, also holding her chest with her hands.One person and one cat stood beside the bathtub in this strange posture of stacking arhats, watching him quietly.

"I……"

Zheng Xiuxiu wanted to explain, but he suddenly remembered that he was naked, and subconsciously clamped his legs and covered them.

"Stop talking, get up first, I've caught a cold." Feng Bei interrupted Zheng Xiu, fetched a thick towel and asked Zheng Xiu to get up, and when he noticed Zheng Xiu's movements, Feng Bei rolled his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up : "What to cover, it's not unused."

Zheng Xiu was taken aback, Feng Bei's tone and expression made Zheng Xiu seem to see Xie Luohe standing there in a trance.

After getting dressed.

Let the servants move the tub away.

Xiao Fengmiao jumped off Feng Bei's head and slipped away through the window.

"Tell me, where did you go?"

Feng Bei was barefoot, sitting on the head of the bed, her round and white arches showed a perfect arc, slightly curled up, Erlang's legs were raised up, as if a queen was in charge.

"Gudong!"

Zheng Xiu swallowed his saliva forcefully, and looked away from Fengbei's little feet with difficulty. He suddenly remembered the joy of the couple's bed in the valley for ten years.But don't talk about being happy at this time, a dishonest person may be beaten to death.He can only honestly tell what he saw and heard under the palace.

After Feng Bei listened from the beginning to the end, there was no shock or surprise on her face. When she heard "almost being sucked away by Chang An", Feng Bei clenched her fists tightly, as if she was holding back to smack Zheng Xiu's face. The impulse of two punches: "Aren't you worried that you are in danger?"

Zheng Xiu explained with a smile: "Don't worry, it's not like you don't know that even if my avatar dies, it won't really die."

"But it's always dark!"

Feng Bei grabbed Zheng Xiu and threw him on the bed, and then he punched and kicked Zheng Xiu wrapped in the blanket.

boom!
The bed board has collapsed!

The two fell together.

After rolling in the bed for half a night, the movement spread outside the house.

Qing Shisan, who was squatting on the roof, heard the sound of the bed board collapsing, and said with emotion: "You really deserve to be the master."

inside the house.

Feng Bei, who regained her composure, stared blankly at her hand, and she didn't know why she couldn't hold back just now.

Zheng Xiu and Fengbei were sitting on the collapsed bed board. Although Fengbei beat him a meal, he did not kill his hands.He grinned and moved his hands and feet, but this kind of "acting like a baby" may not be able to withstand the average person, and may be beaten to death.

He even used [Unbreakable] just now, and was hammered so hard that Feng Bei's palm was like hitting a steel plate when he slapped it.

"All in all, under the palace, there is an 'entrance' leading to the eternal darkness, which is fixed there."

Zheng Xiu looked at his words and saw that Feng Bei's anger had dissipated. Then he returned to the business: "Although I personally experienced Gongsun Mo's memory in the world in the painting, Gongsun Mo's painting was only drawn up to the moment when the pen was written. What happened after the pen was written?" , he has been unable to continue painting. It is very likely that he has been taken away at that moment."

"What I didn't expect was that there was an 'entrance' there. This should be the reason why Zhu has never dared to approach the imperial city."

"It's just that what I can't understand now is whether the existence of this 'entrance' was born by accident or in Zhu's plan."

At present, even if Zhu is not an immortal person, he has a long lifespan far exceeding that of ordinary people.He has almost endless time for layout.This bottomless and historical layout makes Zheng Xiu very afraid.Rather than saying it was an accident, Zheng Xiu was more willing to believe that this was a move Zhu was making for the next hundred years.

Just like the experience of the world in the painting, Zhu chose Cheng Xiao, Lou Mengkong and Xie Luohe 200 years ago.And Xie Luohe's death also made Gongsun Mo cheated, and voluntarily became the "human pillar" for the next century.

This interlocking century-old layout always makes Zheng Xiu feel terrified every time he thinks about it.

"Besides, I saw a pool of dead people there. If I'm not mistaken, to maintain the 'entrance', it is necessary to continuously feed... with human souls." Zheng Xiu thought for a while, and used the word "feeding". Words to describe the feeling it gave him.

"The human soul is divided into four parts, enough 'directions' can break through the barriers of eternal darkness and eternal life. But once a stable channel is formed, I think it will be fine as long as you feed a little from time to time and keep the channel from closing. Obviously, This 'entrance' was left on purpose."

Fengbei listened silently, somewhat absent-mindedly.She seemed to be still feeling puzzled and at a loss for what she had done just now.She clearly felt that when she was beating Zheng Xiu, it was "that part" of "Xie Luohe" that was causing the trouble.

"You promise me," Fengbei said with his long hair tied behind his ears, with a calm expression, "don't go there again in the future."

"Okay." Zheng Xiu agreed.

Fengbei is suspicious: "Guarantee?"

"I swear." Zheng Xiu held up three fingers: "If you go there secretly again, let me have a baby..."

"Don't... that's all." Feng Bei glared at Zheng Xiu, quickly covered Zheng Xiu's mouth, and then sighed: "You just agree."

Feng Bei stood up, ready to leave.

Zheng Xiu tried to persuade him to stay: "Look, it's late at night, it seems inappropriate to come out of my room in the middle of the night, or are you just here tonight?"

Feng Bei blushed and broke out of the window.

The next day.

The whistle in Zheng's house was constantly ringing, with ups and downs, and it sounded like a ditty.

As soon as Zheng Xiu went out, he saw Qing Pi greet him, with a smirk on his face, gave him two thumbs up, and praised him for being so powerful that he couldn't bear the bed.Zheng Xiu couldn't argue with his own words, he couldn't say that he was beaten by Feng Bei, he could only accept the rumors with his head held high.

The bed was replaced naturally, the old bed became a wreck, and when the new bed was moved in with great fanfare, Zheng Erniang pulled Zheng Xiu aside with a strange expression, and told Zheng Xiu to take it easy with a blushing face, saying that you just recovered from a serious illness, Don't toss your body.

Zheng Xiu looked at the ginseng, velvet antler, angelica, wolfberry, and epimedium floating in the breakfast soup, and knew that Erniang had misunderstood, so he could only swallow the big tonic soup silently.

Men, it's never wrong to make up more.

Yueyan sends back news from time to time, but there is still no movement from Ye Weiyang.

In the next few days, many visitors came to Zheng's house.

The three princes sent people to send gifts, including gold, silver and jewellery, calligraphy, painting and literature, and even some snow lotus seeds from Tianyin Mountain.After the ancestor worship ceremony on March [-]rd, Zheng Xiu became a favorite again, and the three princes showed their affection to the Marquis Zhonglie in their own ways.

This is a perfectly normal thing.But then, when many high-ranking officials in the DPRK and China that Zheng Xiu could not remember their names and appearances came here and there for acquaintances, Zheng Xiu smelled something unusual.

It's as if... the entire imperial court, except for Old Wei, ran to his Zheng's house.

"what happened?"

When Zheng Xiu looked at the yard full of gifts and was worried, his doubts became deeper and deeper.

During this period, Jiang Gaoyi, who was in a high position, came here once.

Zheng Xiu enthusiastically invited him as the guest of honor and presented him with good tea, while Jiang Gaoyi lamented the turbulent undercurrent in the court these days with cryptic words.

"This old man can be regarded as... the rest of his life after the catastrophe!"

Jiang Gaoyi used the words "survival after the catastrophe" to explain the danger at that time.He didn't take a position at all. Once the crown prince of old Wei Li was one of the three adult princes, the officials in the court would most likely have a big change of blood.

Old Wei's trick of establishing the fourth prince as the crown prince made Jiang Gaoyi admire the emperor immensely, and even lamented that the emperor's heart was unpredictable.

"By the way, what do you see on my face?"

Zheng Xiu remembered that Jiang Gaoyi had accidentally glimpsed the doorway and could "read words and colors".

The relationship between Jiang Gaoyi and Zheng Xiu was a relationship created in prison, and there was no excuse. He observed Zheng Xiu's face carefully, and said, "Master Hou has 'Pain' written on his left cheek, and 'Happiness' written on his right cheek. Why?"

When Zheng Xiu heard it, his heart was so awesome, you can even see that I am in pain and happy.After a few cups of tea, Jiang Gaoyi was busy with government affairs, so he hurriedly left. Zheng Xiu personally delivered it to the door, and talked with Jiang Gaoyi. Zheng Xiu was in a happy mood.It's a sweet memory.

Early May.

The elusive knife creditor Sun Erming came once, and he asked about the borrowed knife with a sad face.

"Master Zheng, haven't you fulfilled my motto yet?"

A piece of dog skin plaster was still stuck on Sun Erming's face. Seeing Zheng Xiu's dazed and amnesiac look, Sun Erming grimaced and gestured with both hands for the appearance of the knife.It was only then that Zheng Xiu remembered that "in those days", he found an antique carving knife from Sun Erming, a relic of a famous craftsman, in order to collect wool and train as a "painter".He carved a "Fengbei Statue" in his study, which has not been completed yet.

It's just that now his "painter" technique has almost come to an end by chance, even the "painter"'s tricks have been acquired, and this little carving knife has become a dispensable thing.So Zheng Xiu tentatively asked: "Can I... give it back to you?"

He remembered the prophecy of Sun Erming, the credit knife man, and it seemed that when the world in the painting came out, it almost came true.If the monk was really taken away by Fan Yao, thinking about the situation at that time, Zheng Xiu silently felt lucky for the monk.

"No way!" Sun Erming shook his head: "What I have seen is something that will definitely happen! Even if you return the carving knife to me, my 'proverb' will definitely happen."

Zheng Xiu's face was serious.

Sun Erming learned that Zheng Xiu hadn't reached the moment when the proverb was fulfilled, so he left in a daze. Before leaving, he murmured: "It hasn't reached that moment yet."

From this point of view, it seems that Zheng Xiu's way of his cultivation... got stuck.

After sending Sun Erming away.

In the next few days, the threshold of their Zheng family was almost broken, and almost all the high and middle officials came here once.

In the past, his "Marquis of Loyalty" had no title but no real power. Apart from his wealth, he should have nothing to curry favor with them.However, officials from the DPRK and China came here, not talking about money or business, as if they really cared about the health of Lord Hou.

As the saying goes, there must be demons when things go wrong, Zheng Xiu felt that this phenomenon was extremely weird, but he didn't want to ask, so he could only make excuses. For a while, Zheng Xiu was so busy just receiving guests.

Until the middle of May, some day.

After a month of continuous rain stopped, the sky cleared.

An exquisite carriage stopped in front of Zheng's house. The driver, Kong Wuli, and a beautiful maid in a light yellow dress politely knocked on the door of Zheng's house and whispered the identity of the visitor.

Right now Zheng Xiuxiu was lying in the yard basking in the long-lost sun.Taking advantage of Fengbei's absence, Zhizhi and Pingping waited on him.Zhizhi used thaumaturgy, her hands were extremely smooth, and she was pinching Zheng Xiu's shoulders, while Pingping thoughtfully brought cakes to Zheng Xiu's lips, and occasionally talked about anecdotes about her hometown of ancient Persia.

At this time, a figure came down, the face was covered by a hood, and the ingenuity of the Hidden Sword could be vaguely seen in the long sleeves.

"master."

He glanced at Zhizhi and Pingping.

"But it doesn't matter."

"The emperor is here."

The Brotherhood Assassin spoke in a low voice.

Zheng Xiu sat up straight in an instant, his eyes fixed.

　Ask for a monthly pass!
