Chapter 76 Chapter 76 Bring the sword!
Jiang Yan didn't wait outside for long before Luo Jinsheng confessed as he couldn't stand the interrogation.
In fact, no one expected the truth potion to be so effective. After taking a sip of the potion, Luo Jinsheng said whatever was asked. He couldn't control himself and his expression was extremely terrified.
There is a rarely visited dilapidated temple on the outskirts of Yizhou City. It has long been abandoned and has become a destination for beggars, refugees and other homeless people.
When no one noticed, Luo Jinsheng drove out all the beggars, quietly occupied the dilapidated temple, set up a barrier, forced women of good character into prostitution in the temple, captured people with furnace-cauldron physique and had sex with them for his own cultivation.
Gu Jingyun had Luo Jinsheng taken away and the group went to the ruined temple.
The barrier that seemed unbreakable in the eyes of ordinary people was, in Gu Jingyun's eyes, just a fragile existence that could be easily blasted open by a sword.
The barrier was broken.
Everyone stepped into the temple. A golden Buddha statue with a broken corner sat quietly in the center of the hall. The statue was very old and covered in dust, but the look in its eyes was still full of compassion.
"Aren't you afraid of retribution for doing this kind of thing in the temple?" Ling Hanzhang muttered and kicked Luo Jinsheng who was standing beside him.
Luo Jinsheng's meridians were also locked, and he couldn't use any spiritual power at all, becoming no different from an ordinary person.
Because his eyes were blinded, he couldn't see the road and could only move forward one step deep and one step shallow, even worse than most people.
Ji Ziheng went to investigate first, and then quickly reported: "Young Master, I'm behind."
"Let's go." Gu Jingyun nodded.
Everyone followed.
Jiang Yan looked back at the Buddha statue and felt that there was some majesty and solemnity on the Buddha's compassionate face, but he did not sense any malice.
If the Buddha statue had a spirit, it would probably not let Luo Jinsheng have an easy time.
He glanced at it briefly and then looked away.
This temple is not big. There is only one side room behind the main hall. The window with a big hole in it was nailed shut with thick wooden boards. Presumably, only at noon or in the afternoon when the sun is shining brightly can a few rays of light leak into the room.
The door of the ear room was locked with a heavy chain. Each link of the chain was as big as an adult man's fist. It would be difficult for a person with less strength to lift it.
“Tsk.”
Ling Hanzhang kicked Luo Jinsheng hard again. Luo Jinsheng staggered a few steps. Because he couldn't see, he tripped over the chain and hit his head on the door with a loud "bang".
Gu Jingyun stretched out his hand and pulled, and the chain broke in two. As soon as his hand loosened, the chain fell heavily to the ground.
The door opened, and two skinny young men of about eighteen or nineteen were seen curled up in the corner of the room. They were pale, their faces were paler than paper, and their breath was weak.
Seeing the door opened, they all shrank back into the corner in fear. When they saw that the person who stepped into the room was not a bad guy, they did not show any surprise, but became more vigilant.
The clothes on the two people were tattered and could not cover the fair skin underneath.
Gu Jingyun looked away and was about to order someone to bring two sets of clothes. Jiang Yan had already quickly taken out two large black robes from the Sumeru Ring and walked forward quickly.
"Who are you?" one of the young men asked in a hoarse voice, very alert.
Jiang Yan looked into his eyes, politely not looking anywhere else, and just raised the clothes and handed it to him.
"Don't be afraid, we are here to save you. Here are two outer robes, put them on first."
At this time, Ling Hanzhang also kicked Luo Jinsheng into the house and forced him to kneel down.
He mentioned the name of the young man who came to the Sword Sect to report the news, and then said, "The Sword Sect accepted the commission and took the Sword Sect disciple's token to report to the Law Enforcement Hall and the local government yesterday. They will definitely bring Luo Jinsheng to justice."
The two men looked in disbelief, and it took them a long time to realize that they were rescued, and they burst into tears.
The young man who spoke first and was the most cautious put on his robe carelessly, and no one cared whether the robe looked as ugly as a sack.
It can cover from head to toe, is wide enough, and also has the function of keeping warm, making it the best cloak at this time.
The young man forced himself to stand up and looked around.
There wasn't even a brick on the ground, only straw.
He then snatched the scabbard hanging on the waist of a Sirius Guard - he couldn't take away the sword that the Sirius Guard was holding tightly, so he could only settle for the next best thing.
"I'll let you catch me and use me as a furnace!"
The young man beat and kicked Luo Jinsheng, and smashed the back of Luo Jinsheng's head with the scabbard of his sword.
The Sirius Guard whose scabbard was snatched away covered his belt that was almost torn off and cried out “Ah hey” a few times.
Knowing that people need to vent, he scratched his face and gave up the idea of taking the scabbard back.
The equipment of the Sirius Guards are all excellent. Even the scabbards are very hard and can be thrown directly to hit people.
Luo Jinsheng didn't even have time to react before the young man hit him on the head and it was bleeding.
His eyes rolled back and he fainted on the ground, his forehead hitting the ground heavily, as if he was kowtowing to the other young man who was still huddled in the corner.
The tall and thin young man who was beating people gradually lost his strength, staggered a bit, and was supported by Jiang Yan.
"Young Master, be careful." Jiang Yan advised worriedly, "Why not let the doctor heal his wounds, and then beat him up to vent your anger."
"Beat him?" The young man shook his head. "Bring the sword! I want to kill him."
But he couldn't even stand steadily, and had to rely on Jiang Yan to support him. The scabbard had already fallen to the ground and was picked up by the Tianlang Guard.
Jiang Yan said: "At least leave here first."
The young man looked at Luo Jinsheng with regret, his eyes full of hatred.
In his confession, Luo Jinsheng said that there was only this side room, but out of caution and to prevent missing any victims, the Tianlang Guards searched the entire temple, and they were just short of prying up the floor tiles to see if there was a secret room.
The man was rescued and brought back to the city, where a doctor was called in to treat him.
Of the two young men, the one who was shrinking and not speaking the whole time was in the Qi Refining Stage, while the other one who took the weapon and took the initiative to seek revenge was in the Foundation Establishment Stage. Their cultivation was not high, so they were imprisoned by Luo Jinsheng.
Both of them have excellent furnace-cauldron physiques, and the cultivation level of those who practice dual cultivation with them can double.
The young man in the Qi Refining Stage is named Yang Yuan. He was originally a mortal. If you climb over a few hills, you can see the village where he originally lived.
With the dream of becoming an immortal, he looked everywhere for someone to learn from. He was cheated of a lot of money but he never gave up. Finally, he found Luo Jinsheng.
Luo Jinsheng taught him a technique that allowed him to quickly advance from a mortal to a Qi Refining cultivator. He then gave him a bottle of elixir, and after taking it, he practiced hard for several years and finally entered the Foundation Establishment stage.
Yang Yuan was ecstatic and from then on he trusted Luo Jinsheng more.
Unexpectedly, on the day he entered the foundation-building stage, Luo Jinsheng tricked him here. It turned out that the technique was also an evil technique specifically designed to be a human furnace, which would damage one's lifespan, so one's cultivation level would improve rapidly.
His original foundation-building cultivation had long since fallen back to the Qi Refining stage.
The other young man was called Tan Mingxu, a casual cultivator in the foundation-building stage. He was born with a furnace-cauldron physique, and had been carefully hiding it, but it was accidentally exposed and discovered by Luo Jinsheng.
After that, he was abducted and forcibly taken to the ruined temple. Needless to say, everyone knows what happened next.
There was also a young man who managed to escape before being killed.
The three of them took advantage of Luo Jinsheng's carelessness, smashed the window, and escaped to the weak point of the barrier. They also worked together to break a dog hole in the barrier - the hole was extremely narrow, only the boy's body could get out and it took a lot of effort to get out, and successfully escaped.
Afterwards, Luo Jinsheng noticed that the barrier was broken and quickly turned back. He raised his guard, and they never found a similar opportunity again.
After being treated by the doctor, both of them have recovered a lot in spirit and physical strength.
Yang Yuan was afraid of all the cultivators and didn't want to talk to anyone, so only Tan Mingxu stepped forward to explain the whole story.
Tan Mingxu said: "I asked him to find someone to rescue us after he got out, but he kowtowed twice and ran away. I didn't expect that he actually did it."
Ling Hanzhang was puzzled: "This is the border between Zhongzhou and Xizhou, and the Sword Sect is in the distant Dongzhou. Why didn't he just go to Zhongzhou to find the government or the joint law enforcement team of the cultivation world, but went all the way to the Sword Sect?"
"Well," Tan Mingxu said embarrassedly, "maybe this is my fault. He asked me who he should ask for help. I heard that the Sword Sect has a reputation for being upright and slaying demons, so I told him to go find the Sword Sect."
"I thought he would just find a Sword Sect disciple for help, but I didn't expect him to come directly to my door."
Tan Mingxu asked: "Is he okay now?"
Ling Hanzhang said: "I traveled day and night and unfortunately encountered a monster. Fortunately, I was saved by a passing disciple and was not seriously injured. However, I couldn't walk, so I couldn't follow you."
Tan Mingxu seemed relieved: "That's good."
Several people began to discuss how to deal with Luo Jinsheng.
Tan Mingxu insisted on killing Luo Jinsheng himself, but Ling Hanzhang said he would let the Law Enforcement Hall handle it. The world of cultivation is cruel, but there must be laws for punishment.
The Law Enforcement Hall has always been closely connected with the government, and handing it over to them is actually handing it over to the government. However, in order to prevent the prisoner from self-destructing at the end of his life, the person who executes the prisoner will be a monk with high cultivation.
The two people were arguing.
Gu Jingyun sat at the top and listened for a while.
He pondered and said, "In this case, why not let Mr. Tan stay here for a while, and replace him with someone else when the execution comes."
After arguing for a long time, Tan Mingxu and Ling Hanzhang choked at the same time.
Yes, it is still possible.
“Just ask the Law Enforcement Hall to send a few more people to watch over. Luo Jinsheng alone can’t cause any trouble.” Gu Jingyun said.
Everyone has no objection.
Next is where Yang Yuan is going.
Yang Yuan said weakly: "I want to go back to the village."
Once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years, not to mention that this snake almost bit him to death.
After being cheated once, Yang Yuan no longer had any thoughts about cultivating immortals, and even had a vague resistance.
Being an honest ordinary person and living an ordinary life is a kind of happiness.
Gu Jingyun asked Yang Yuan where his home was, and Yang Yuan answered clearly.
Everyone listened.
Isn’t this the only way to get to Feng’an City in Zhongzhou?
"In that case, you should come with us," said Gu Jingyun.
Although Yang Yuan was afraid, he was able to tell right from wrong.
He stood up from his chair, bent his knees without saying a word, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed several times.
"The immortals are all kind-hearted people who saved my life. Yang Yuan will be grateful to them in this life and the next. I will never forget it!"
Jiang Yan stepped forward and helped him up.
The few of them quickly agreed on a date for departure and went back to their rooms to rest. Luo Jinsheng was also escorted into the cell, awaiting execution.
When Tan Mingxu heard that Jiang Yan was a disciple of the Hehuan Sect, he secretly stopped Jiang Yan when no one was around.
"You want to join the Hehuan Sect?" Jiang Yan was stunned.
"Yes," Tan Mingxu said, "My physique is naturally suitable for practicing the Hehuan technique. When Luo Jinsheng captured me, I was on my way to the Hehuan Sect."
Tan Mingxu asked anxiously, "I am a natural furnace cauldron. How will the Hehuan Sect treat people with this kind of physique?"
"If someone wants to have sex with me, but I don't want to, will the sect help me? And..."
After finding out clearly, he can decide where to go.
Jiang Yan listened to Tan Mingxu's long chatter, the main point of which was nothing more than the fear of being forced to do something he didn't like.
Jiang Yan thought for a moment and asked cautiously, "Mr. Tan, do you think it is better to be single or to have a partner? Can you find a partner yourself? Are you willing to go on blind dates?"
Tan Mingxu was very confused.
"What's the point of being single? Of course you need to find someone to keep you company! As for blind dates...it's not like you can't find a boyfriend, so why do you need to go on blind dates?"
“…”
Jiang Yan felt as if an invisible arrow was piercing his heart.
He just couldn't find a boyfriend.
Even though he didn't want to find one and wasn't willing to go on a blind date.
Tan Mingxu is still asking why he wants to go on a blind date.
Jiang Yan pretended not to hear his question and consoled him, "Everyone in the He Huan Sect is very nice. They won't force you to have sex with others, and they will even provide protection for the disciples."
Tan Mingxu asked: "What do disciples do on weekdays?"
This can be answered.
Jiang Yan said quickly: "A lot. Eating melon seeds, chatting about gossip, reading novels, and sleeping in the sun..."
Tan Mingxu: “???”
Is this a sect of immortal cultivation or a nursing home? He was really fascinated by the sound of it.
"Mr. Tan, don't underestimate yourself. You are a human being, not a 'cauldron'." The young man's pretty eyes were full of seriousness as he encouraged: "Practice well, improve your strength, and be the master of your own destiny!"
Tan Mingxu was more and more moved, and his favorability towards the Hehuan Sect increased sharply.
"I want to join the sect, can Mr. Jiang introduce me to it?"
Jiang Yan: "The sect will find a city in Zhongzhou every year to recruit students and disciples. Mr. Tan can go there to sign up."
Tan Mingxu bowed repeatedly, asked some random questions, thanked Jiang Yan again and again, and then left with satisfaction.
After Jiang Yan returned to his room, he wrote a letter, in which he talked about Tan Mingxu, and asked the Tianlang Guards to send it to Chunshui Lane overnight.
Han Lin replied quickly.
The letter read: [Got it, I'll go find him later. You don't have to worry about the rest.]
Jiang Yan was about to put away the letter when he saw two lines of small words written at the end in beautiful handwriting.
Why did you write the words so small? I almost missed it.
Jiang Yan picked up the letter, moved closer and looked at it carefully.
Han Lin wrote on the paper:
[When he asked you, "Will the Hehuan Sect force its disciples?", were you afraid to tell him that you were being forced by the Hehuan Sect to go on a blind date?]
【Ha ha! 】
Jiang Yan: “…………”
Jiang Yan tore up the letter expressionlessly.
