The Beacon of Kyushu

Chapter 69 Into the Deep Mountains

The two walked through the deep valley, walked out of the barren hills, and found a medical clinic to treat Yuwen Yanyi's wound briefly, and then walked southward for more than ten days, gradually approaching Fangzhou.

As soon as he entered Fangzhou, the strange man bound Yuwen Yanyi's eyes with a thick black cloth, then held his hand tightly, and walked forward quickly.

Yuwen Yanyi could neither see the terrain ahead nor tell the direction, so she could only hold the strange man's hand tightly, like a toddler who just learned to walk.He felt his feet were up and down, sometimes he seemed to be walking up a hill, and sometimes he seemed to be entering a valley. Soon he was dazed by the rugged terrain under his feet and the unknown in his heart.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the strange man finally stopped and shook off Yuwen Yanyi's hand.Yuwen Yanyi had a black cloth tied around his eyes, and he didn't know where he was, but he felt a little difficult to breathe, as if a huge boulder was pressing on his chest.

The weird man moved his wrist, took off the black cloth from Yuwen Yanyi's eyes, and said coldly: "Yuwen Yanyi, since you can even kill your own master, killing a stranger must not be difficult for you." Bar?"

Yuwen Yanyi's eyes were tightly bound by black cloth for half a day, and she became extremely photophobic.At this moment, even a faint firelight in the darkness dazzled him so much that he couldn't open his eyes.After a while, his eyes slowly opened. With the faint light, he quickly looked around, and saw that he was in an airtight stone room, no matter the feet, the walls or the roof. It is built with hard and cold stone bricks, and there is no trace of life.There is a candlestick on each of the four walls, and the faint fire light from the candle is the only thing that can make people feel a little warm in the whole room.

In front of the west wall, stood a disheveled, ragged old man, his hands were firmly cuffed by an iron ring, and behind the iron ring were two cold iron chains, binding his whole body firmly. on the wall.He lowered his head at this time, his face was covered by the messy hair, and his bloodshot and lifeless eyes could be vaguely seen through the hair.

The strange man pointed at the prisoner and ordered Yuwen Yanyi: "Go, kill him!"

Yuwen Yanyi shook her head and said, "Who is he? Why did you kill him? Do you think that since you saved me, I will become a tool to kill you?"

The strange man said: "He is just a commoner of the Song Dynasty, a farmer who is so humble that he can't be more humble. Since you hate the Song Dynasty as much as I do, kill him in front of me!" His voice was very indifferent, like a commoner His life is not even as good as an ant in his eyes.

Yuwen Yanyi shook her head again, "No, what I hate are those stupid officials in the Song Dynasty, what I hate is Liu Yu, what I hate is Fu Yanqing, what I hate is the stupid king Zhao Guangyi, not this ordinary person who has never met me before. I will not Just because of your words, I will kill innocent people indiscriminately!"

The strange man laughed wildly and said: "You are so naive, you are exactly the same as the Commander back then. But the Commander advises you, a naive and kind person like you will never take revenge! Because not only your enemies in this world will Harm you, strangers, even your friends may harm you at any time, you can't even bear to kill such a dying person, if you are betrayed by your friends in the future, what else can you do besides die silently?"

Yuwen Yanyi insisted: "Don't say any more! I will not kill for you, never will, I would rather die myself than hurt innocent people!"

"Really?" The strange man nodded, "Since you regard death as light as a feather, then you can wait to starve to death here. If you regret it one day, kill this person, and then shout two times. Sound, when the time comes, I will reward you with food!"

After he finished speaking, he laughed a few more times, walked out of the stone room slowly, and closed the heavy stone door, and there was a sound of heavy locking outside the door.Yuwen Yanyi's face was heavy, looking at the airtight stone room, he let out a long sigh.

It took a long time for Yuwen Yanyi to sit under the candlestick and read the "Jiuyao Qixing Jue" in his arms by the faint light of the fire.His heart is extremely heavy at the moment, only the warm light of the fire in front of him, and the martial arts secret book in his hand can make him temporarily forget his troubles.

He didn't know how long he read it, and his eyelids gradually became heavy, so he put the book aside and fell asleep deeply.In the dream, his parents were still alive, and the family lived carefree in the villa outside Jinling City. The time was quiet and beautiful, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth unconsciously.

Yuwen Yanyi was soundly asleep when he suddenly heard a man's hoarse voice calling him. He opened his sleepy eyes, followed the sound and saw that it was the farmer tied to the wall who called him.His eyes were now blank, like a dead body.

"Did you call me?" Yuwen Yanyi asked.

The farmer nodded weakly, and said hoarsely: "Young man, you should kill me, it will be a relief for you and me..."

Yuwen Yanyi shook her head, "No! Once my hands are stained with the blood of innocent people, I'm afraid I won't be able to wash it off in this lifetime. Forgive me for not being able to agree to your request."

The farmer smiled wryly, and said no more, the sliver of anger that was finally born on him just now was once again annihilated in the endless darkness.Perhaps death is not a painful thing for him, but a permanent relief.

Yuwen Yanyi didn't want to see this farmer again, not only because she didn't want to see his painful expression, but also because she didn't want to see her future self.If he keeps refusing to agree to that weird man's request, his fate may be worse than that of the farmer, and there will be no one who can give himself a happy time.He didn't dare to think about it anymore, the best place to escape from reality was dreamland.

The sky cannot be seen in the stone room, and day and night cannot be distinguished. Even time has become a luxurious and redundant concept here.Apart from reading, Yuwen Yanyi just sleeps, and rarely talks to the farmer, and everything is nothing more than simple repetition.

I don't know how long it took, Yuwen Yanyi gradually felt the hunger in his stomach was unbearable, at first it was just "cuckoo" a few times, and then his stomach began to writhe in pain, and the pain hit Yuwen Yanyi's whole body. Sweating profusely, the pain slowly subsided.

Yuwen Yanyi couldn't remember how long he hadn't eaten. He felt that if he had nothing to eat, he would die in a short time.But he was in such an environment, not to mention eating, even the air in the room became more and more turbid and thinner, and it became difficult to breathe.

Suddenly, there was a clear sound of footsteps outside the door, as if someone was slowly walking towards the stone room from the long and narrow stone corridor outside.Although the man walked slowly, every step he took was powerful.It took him a long time to finally reach the stone gate, took out the key and opened the iron lock.

After the iron lock was opened, the stone door was slowly pushed open, and a burst of musty air came in from outside the door.If ordinary people smelled this kind of air, they would cover their noses and back away, but at this moment, Yuwen Yanyi felt that this air was more refreshing than the morning breeze with the fragrance of flowers in the deep mountains.

Immediately afterwards, a ferocious burly man strode in with a whip in hand.He looked at the farmer tied to the stone wall, then at Yuwen Yanyi, and said with a big mouth: "Boy, what kindness are you so blind, thinking that you are the reincarnation of Buddha? Let me tell you, if you don't want to starve to death, just Kill him quickly, or you will die uglier than him!"

As the big man said, he raised the whip in his hand high, and with a frightening sound of piercing through the air, he lashed at Yuwen Yanyi's body forcefully.Yuwen Yanyi glared at the big man, clenched his fists instinctively, but he was so hungry that he didn't even have the strength to stand up, how could he have the strength to resist?
"Boy, you still dare to stare at me!" The big man snorted coldly, swung the whip in his hand again, and slapped Yuwen Yanyi fiercely with the whip.Yuwen Yanyi grunted in pain, and the wound on her chest that had just scabbed was instantly torn apart.

He was weak and wanted to get up from the ground, but the big man stepped on his head and laughed loudly: "Boy, you are a mud bodhisattva and you can't protect yourself when you cross the river. Why do you care about other people's lives? You are nothing more than a traitor. The lost dog who was rescued by our marshal really considers himself a hero?"

Yuwen Yanyi ended up like this because of the tragic death of his family.At this time, when I heard the words "Sorrowful Dog", the anger in my heart was burning to the peak, and I wished to kill this damned man with a single sword.But his head was trampled, and his whole body lost all strength, so he could only turn his face to the side, staring at the big man with cold eyes, and said word by word: "Say it again!"

The big man sneered and said, "How dare you threaten me! Who do you think you are?" He swung his whip as he spoke, and was about to whip it again, when suddenly the heavy footsteps of the strange man came from outside the door.

The strange man walked into the stone room slowly and asked, "How is it? Is the man dead?" After he finished speaking, he looked at the farmer, not only surprise and disappointment, but also an intriguing smile in his eyes.

Seeing this strange man, the big man quickly bowed and said: "Sub... this subordinate has seen the Blood Commander!" He who was still showing off his power just now suddenly became respectful, and instantly changed from a ferocious beast to a vicious dog wagging its tail behind its master and begging for mercy.

The strange man looked at Yuwen Yanyi, and grabbed the whip from the big man's hand, "Trash, who told you to beat him like this? You can't even do such a simple thing well, what use is this handsome to support you?"

Yuwen Yanyi was acting like a weirdo because she was blaming the big man for being too aggressive, and secretly said, "Although this man is ruthless, he is not unreasonable anyway. It seems that I might really be able to leave here alive."

But his fantasy was completely shattered the next moment with the sharp sound of the whip.There was a "pop" sound of the whip in the air, and the air seemed to be blown apart every inch of it. Then the whip drooped and slammed on Yuwen Yanyi's body, and a stream of blood burst out instantly.

Yuwen Yanyi could hold back his screams just now, but he couldn't hold back any more when the bone-piercing whip hit him, and screamed out.The strange man smiled coldly, and pulled down the soft whip in his hand again, spattering another streak of blood.Yuwen Yanyi was so painful that he almost fainted, even the big man was terrified, and cold sweat oozes from his forehead.

The strange man whipped Yuwen Yanyi more than a dozen whips in a row until his whole body was bloody.The big man standing at the side was pale, and he really couldn't stand it any longer. He said tremblingly, "Great... Marshal, he will die if you do this..."

"Does this commander need you to teach me how to do things?" The strange man glared at the big man sideways, and slammed the soft whip in his hand at the big man, pulling him back a foot or two, and his back hit the stone wall hard, almost Mouth spurted blood.

However, Yuwen Yanyi said proudly: "Commander? How can there be such a bloodthirsty and brutal commander in the world who acts recklessly? If you have the ability, beat me to death. If you don't beat me to death, I'm not a hero!"

The strange man hangs his long whip upside down and shakes his head slightly, "Yuwen Yanyi, you are an unsharp sword to me. This commander will only sharpen and temper you, but will never break you!" He finished speaking Laughing and walking out of the stone room, the big man followed behind him and walked out quickly.The Shimen closed tightly again, cutting off Yuwen Yanyi's only way of life.
