Martial Arts Song

Chapter 445: Mad Blood Monk, Luo Jiu
"There are a total of 42 expert prisoners currently held in the High-Level Prison, including three great experts and 39 experts who have either undergone a single transformation or a double transformation."

"These thirty-nine non-great masters were imprisoned in different areas and floors of the prison according to the direction of their transformation, and were assigned different prison guards."

"And the three great masters were imprisoned in separate cells at the bottom of the prison. They were locked up in different ways according to the different skills they were good at."

"You may have heard of these three masters, or you may not have. They are Luo Jiu, Cheng Yansheng, and Xie Xiuyuan."

"Luo Jiu has a nickname in the martial arts world called 'Angry Vajra'. He was adopted by monks from Shao Temple when he was a baby and grew up in the temple. He practiced martial arts with the monks from Shao Temple since he was a child and mastered the Vajra Kung Fu. When he 'transformed', his body could not only withstand the shooting of ordinary musket bullets, but also withstand the explosion of artillery shells in front of him, and only suffered minor injuries."

"But because he trained his body to be strong, his Qi and blood were too strong, and he grew up in a Shao Temple surrounded by monks, where matters between men and women were kept secret. Without proper guidance and knowledge, he had another identity in the late Ning Dynasty, that is, the famous flower-stealing thief 'Crazy Blood Monk' in the Central Plains!"

"Because he had no knowledge of women, he would force himself on women regardless of whether they were menstruating or not, and his behavior was rude. In addition, the victims said that he had no hair, and the Ning Dynasty officials found that his behavior was indeed a bit like a monk after investigation, so he got this nickname."

"However, because Luo Jiu was very powerful and there were no weapons like today that were specifically designed to target experts, he could only rely on experts to fight against experts. Therefore, during the Ning Dynasty, this person was never caught by the Ning Dynasty government at that time."

"After the Ning Dynasty collapsed, Mr. Zhong organized many civilian masters and heroes to save the country and established our Central Government. In order to inspire people and let people know that our Central Government is indeed a good government for the people, he specially asked a group of civilian masters and heroes to help wipe out the masters who relied on their strength to harm the people. Luo Jiu was ambushed by a group of masters, and then chased to the vicinity of 'Hu Hai'. He was finally subdued by Director Wang and imprisoned in the 'Zhonggao Prison'..."

In the castle.

Du Shanhe, who is nearly 1.9 meters tall and wearing a uniform, walked in front to lead the way while describing the situation in the "Zhonggao Prison".

Chen Qing, who was walking a little behind him, was listening quietly while looking at the situation inside the ancient castle of "Zhonggao Prison".

Yu Boyang and Ruan Yongrui followed Chen Qing a little behind on the right, without saying a word the whole time.

Behind the four people were the soldiers armed with elite weapons that Du Shanhe had brought earlier, as well as the driver and assistant who drove Yu Boyang and Ruan Yongrui.

"Now, Luo Jiu has been imprisoned in the electric shock prison area with his scapula pierced. If he dares to make any unusual movements, our people will immediately pass high voltage electricity through the electric hook that pierced his scapula to shock him into silence. But he has been imprisoned here for almost fifteen years, and he still refuses to give in."

Speaking of this, Du Shanhe couldn't help but shook his head.

After he had said this, he paused for a moment and did not continue to introduce the situation of the remaining two great masters. He seemed to be waiting for Chen Qing to digest the information.

After listening to his story, Chen Qing had a basic understanding of the expert prisoners in the "Chonggao Prison".

He nodded slightly, looked at Du Shanhe and asked, "So are we going to look for Luo Jiu now?"

The interior environment of the "Superior Prison" is built downwards in a funnel shape. The ancient castle on the ground is already the highest floor of the prison, and it seems to be the only exit - at least this is what Chen Qing saw along the way.

Under the guidance of Du Shanhe, the warden of the "Heavy Prison", he first walked out of the entrance passage and came to the spacious area at the back.

There are many vehicles parked in this spacious area, just like a parking lot.

But inside this "parking lot", there are six downward sloping entrances.

Du Shanhe took him into one of the sloping entrance passages, and soon after entering this entrance passage, it turned into a corridor that continued to go deeper and deeper and had many turns.

At this time, everyone was walking in this corridor. Except for the brick and stone road under their feet, the surrounding walls were all made of iron.

"Ah."

Hearing Chen Qing's question, Du Shanhe nodded and replied, "This road leads to the electric shock prison. After Luo Jiu's 'Three Huas Transformation', he combined the three ways of essence, energy and spirit, and based on the 'Vajra Gong' of Shao Temple, he created his own Kung Fu 'Three Yuan Vajra Gong'. This Kung Fu is much more powerful than the Vajra Gong he learned from Shao Temple. It belongs to the 'Three Huas' level of Kung Fu, which has the wonderful effect of transforming 'true energy' to nourish one's body and transforming the body into 'true energy'. Our conventional method of dealing with great masters, which is to keep the great masters hungry to a certain extent and the 'true energy' in their bodies can only barely keep them alive, is not so effective against him. So, if you want to persuade him, it's best to start with him first."

"Is that so?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing nodded again.

Then, he looked at the iron walls surrounding the passage and said, "You just said that this passage leads to the electric shock prison, so these walls are used to facilitate the conduction of electricity?"

"Um……"

Du Shanhe nodded with a dragging voice. He turned around and looked at Chen Qing, saying, "Master Chen, I won't hide it from you. You must have heard about the escape of a master prisoner from the 'Chonggao Prison' before, right? In fact, these iron walls in the passage were added later. The source of the chaos caused by the escape of a master prisoner some time ago was from the Electric Torture Prison."

"At that time, a master sneaked in. This person was very good at the 'bewitching method'. Our patrolling prisoners were all 'bewitched' by this person and were sneaked into the electric torture prison by him, consuming a lot of electricity in our prison! Later, in order to escape, he destroyed the cells in the area where the 'spiritual transformation' master prisoners were detained, causing a group of 'spiritual transformation' master prisoners to escape. Then these escaped 'spiritual transformation' master prisoners did a lot of damage in order to escape, causing chaos in our prison at that time!"

At this point, Du Shanhe's face could not help but show a trace of anger. "Originally, there were more than fifty masters imprisoned in our prison, close to sixty. Basically, all the masters who committed crimes in the nearby provinces were imprisoned here. But after this person caused that incident, more than a dozen of them escaped, causing me to lose face! Really, if I knew who this person was, I would never let him go!"

Later on, Du Shanhe already called him "Laozi", and it was obvious that he was very angry.

However, after hearing this, Chen Qing fell silent.

He knew who it was.

However, although he knew that the escape of prisoners from the "Zhonggao Prison" was caused by He Xihong.

But he didn't know the details.

I didn’t expect that the “Central Prison” actually reinforced the iron wall of the passageway to the electric shock prison…

While thinking this in his heart, he said with a surprised look on his face, "So this is why the prisoners escaped from the 'Zhonggao Prison' before?"

"Yes!"

Du Shanhe sighed, "Old Yu and Old Ruan said that my position as warden is comfortable, but only when you sit in this position do you know how bitter it is. This is not the first time. At the beginning of the year, the electricity was stolen once, and this time not long ago, all the electricity bills have to be borne by me. I have a group of brothers to support, the prison expenses are high, and there is no other income. Relying solely on official funding is already tight, and these two times have made my life miserable! Oh, I won’t say more..."

This complaint seemed to be directed to Chen Qing, but it was actually directed to Ruan Yongrui and Yu Boyang who were behind Chen Qing.

Coupled with the extremely respectful behavior just now in the corridor, I believe that after hearing about Ruan Yongrui and Yu Boyang, as long as they have a little knowledge of the ways of the world, the two people who are here on behalf of the official will definitely help in this regard. At the very least, they will definitely find some reasons to pay for the gifts themselves.

Du Shanhe was taking advantage of this opportunity to complain and wanted to ask for money from the central government through Ruan and Yu.

After hearing this, Ruan Yongrui and Yu Boyang looked at each other and exchanged glances.

Afterwards, Ruan Yongrui said with a surprised look on his face: "Old Du, you have such a sad story? You should have said it earlier! Don't worry, if we can really 'convince' the three experts here to join the plan this time, when the plan succeeds, we will definitely report your heroic behavior today and give you credit for the first merit! At that time, there will definitely be funding rewards, don't worry!"

After saying that, Ruan Yongrui patted his chest twice. Hearing this promise, Du Shanhe smiled and said loudly: "Old Ruan, this is too embarrassing!"

Although he said this, others could see that he was in a good mood.

Du Shanhe, who was still leading the way, turned to look at Chen Qing again and asked with a smile, "By the way, Master Chen, I forgot to ask you just now. What are you going to do with this prison you borrowed from me?"

Hearing this, Chen Qing looked at him calmly and replied, "I plan to use your electric shock prison to practice martial arts."

"..."

As soon as these words were spoken, Du Shanhe, who was originally in a good mood, suddenly froze the smile on his face.

……

"Chi~"

There was a hissing sound.

In the sealed locker room, a steel wall slowly opened up, revealing a huge space behind it.

As this huge space was revealed, a huge deep pit appeared in front of the four figures.

Of the four figures, two were wearing protective clothing and two were not.

The two people were wearing protective clothing, wrapped tightly all over their bodies, and their appearance could only be seen through the transparent glass on their masks. They were none other than Ruan Yongrui and Yu Boyang.

The other two figures who were not wearing protective clothing were both nearly 1.9 meters tall, with strong and sturdy builds and extraordinary temperament.

The only difference between the two is that one looks like a teenager and the other is middle-aged.

These two people are Chen Qing and Du Shanhe.

These four people were none other than Chen Qing, Du Shanhe, Ruan Yongrui, and Yu Boyang who came down from the electric shock prison above the ancient castle!

After going deeper, the four finally arrived at the electric shock prison area, where the cell where the great master nicknamed "Mad Blood Monk" was imprisoned.

The deep pit in front of the four people was about 20 to 30 meters in diameter and hundreds of meters deep!

The entire surrounding area is made of steel, which is not only smooth and seamless, but also equipped with high voltage electricity.

When the steel wall was separated, Ruan Yongrui and Yu Boyang, who were wearing protective clothing, felt a tingling sensation through the special protective clothing they were wearing.

Chen Qing and Du Shanhe, who were not wearing protective clothing, had their hair and goosebumps standing on end.

It wasn't that the two of them felt physically uncomfortable, it was just that the static electricity in the air made their hair stand on end.

Although they also felt the stimulation of the electricity in the air on their bodies, this level was nothing to them.

"He is Luo Jiu?"

Chen Qing stood at the door, looking into the deep pit, and asked.

In the deep pit in front of the four people, there was a figure kneeling on the ground.

The figure had his hands spread out to the sides, with thick iron chains tied to his left and right wrists. These chains were connected underground on both sides of the deep pit, and the distance was just enough to straighten and tighten the chains.

In addition to his hands, the figure's legs and waist were also tied with circles of iron chains, and his entire lower body was tied very tightly with iron chains.

On these extremely tightly bound iron chains, two thick iron hooks extended from behind the figure.

The two thick iron hooks went straight through the back of the figure and hooked the figure's scapula!

After Chen Qing and the other three walked in, this figure kept his head down the whole time, and his whole body was trembling slightly.

"Yes, he is Luo Jiu."

Hearing Chen Qing's question, Du Shanhe managed a smile and responded, then turned around and shouted to the back: "Turn off the power."

"Buzz!"

A buzzing sound was heard along with Du Shanhe's voice.

And after this buzzing sound, the static electricity in the entire deep pit space disappeared.

Ruan Yongrui and Yu Boyang, who were wearing protective clothing, no longer felt the numbness; the standing hair and goiters on Chen Qing and Du Shanhe's bodies also slowly returned to normal.

At the same time, the trembling figure in the center of the deep pit also shook the moment the power was turned off.

"call……"

A sound of exhalation came from the figure's mouth.

Then, the figure slowly raised his head and looked at the four people at the door.

After quickly glancing at Chen Qing, Ruan Yongrui and Yu Boyang, his gaze finally settled on Du Shanhe.

"Mr. Du, what are you doing here?"

A hoarse voice came out of the figure's mouth.

Du Shanhe looked at the other person, no longer smiling, and said coldly with a straight face: "Luo Jiu, I'll give you one more chance. As long as you can help the government do one thing, I'll give you freedom after the task is completed. Do you want to do it?"
