The sound of footsteps broke the silence.
The light was dim and I couldn't see clearly from a distance of several feet.
This place is like a dark forest where everyone can be a prey.
The prisoner in the cell had a look of joy in his eyes, flashing with a fiery light, and he felt the excitement of having captured his prey.
Then……
"Don't! Disturb! Me!"
Mr. Chen looked very serious, but his eyes were calm. He did not show the slightest fear or disgust towards the prisoner who was rumored to be extremely vicious. He was so calm that everything seemed insignificant to him.
"What did you say?!"
This reaction shattered Taoist Dapeng's expectations. He was a little confused. It couldn't be said that this was different from what he had imagined, but it was completely unrelated.
"You keep on rambling on and on. It's so noisy."
Mr. Chen expressed his dissatisfaction. He was lying there quietly. Although the Black Abyss Prison was a bit grim, the light coming in from the window was very warm.
The tranquility and light in the darkness, a gorgeous white flower in full bloom, is already very leisurely and peaceful.
But there are people who chatter incessantly without realizing it, talking nonsense in his mind and disturbing his peace.
"Don't you know that I am a prisoner of the Black Abyss Prison? We are holding the secrets of cultivation that can allow you to transcend mediocrity and enter an incredible realm of cultivation."
Taoist Dapeng recalled it and felt it was unbelievable, bizarre and absurd.
These prisoners are completely heartless, but they are not worthless. On the contrary, they are very valuable. They have secret treasures hidden on them. If you open them, you can make a lot of money.
What on earth is this new jailer disliking?
"If there really is such divine power, you will be imprisoned here."
Mr. Chen sneered. He thought that it was really disrespectful of him to want to lead people to fall with just empty words.
"That's because I didn't have enough time to practice. As long as I'm given enough time, even mediocre talents can achieve great things and turn the tide."
It was the first time that Taoist Dapeng encountered irony. He suddenly became anxious. He didn't know whether he was defending himself or not accepting it. He spoke very excitedly.
He truly believed that as long as time permitted, he could evade sanctions and even transform himself into a reputable and upright person.
"Not interested, don't bother me."
Mr. Chen left after saying this.
"Well?!"
Taoist Dapeng was a little overwhelmed. The new jailer's stubbornness really hit him hard.
"Brother, there are not many people like you anymore."
From the beginning to the end, Old Changtou had been paying attention to Chen Sheng. He was surprised to see him immediately withdraw after he had sternly rebuked Taoist Dapeng.
This young man is calm and composed, and can survive in the Black Abyss Prison for a long time.
He was very happy that he had a new partner in life.
"Old Changtou, when prisoners like this cause trouble, how should we punish them severely?"
Mr. Chen had a very good impression of Lao Changtou. As the prison boss in charge of Area A11, he was humble and spoke softly. He was happy to make friends with such a person and talk about the troubles he had encountered.
"Uh, ignore them..."
Old Changtou obviously couldn't answer this problem. These old jailers were afraid of the prisoners and regarded them as demons.
Normally, I keep my distance from it, and even if I am bewitched by the evil sound, I just pretend not to hear it.
However, Mr. Chen wanted to punish the prisoners. It can only be said that the young man was as brave as a tiger and far exceeded their expectations.
"All right."
After hearing this, Chen Sheng had a general understanding of the jailers' mentality. In this Black Abyss Prison, they were the weaker party.
"You have sensed it, right? Staying in the Black Abyss Prison for too long has caused evil spirits to permeate your body, and you have become thinner."
After experiencing an attempt to trap and assassinate the prisoners, Lao Changtou believed that there was a great chance that Chen Sheng would survive in the Black Abyss Prison.
So he instilled more survival knowledge into Chen.
"What should we do then?"
Chen Sheng had thought of this when he just stepped into the Black Abyss Prison. He had a high level of cultivation and a special physique, so he did not have any worries in this regard. However, he was somewhat interested in the jailer's method of dealing with the situation.
"Practice a specific method."
Old Changtou took out a jade slip of inheritance from his bosom and said, "I pass this Nine Falls Breathing Method to you. It is similar to the Health Preservation Sutra, but it is suitable for here."
To put it bluntly, these jailers live at the bottom of the Guangxiu Immortal Sect. They don't have much luck, and this is just enough to survive.
"Thank you."
Chen Sheng took over the Nine Falls Breathing Method, holding the inheritance jade slip in his hand, and finally felt the long-lost warmth.
The gift may be small but the sentiment is great; this is the truest reflection of his heart.
"I'm the prison boss, so I have to take care of the new young people."
Old Chang smiled, and it was a very sincere one. The relationship between the jailers in the Black Abyss Prison was actually very simple. There were not too many conflicts of interest. Everyone was very idle, and over time, most of them had developed some friendships with each other.
They do not reject newcomers, but are well aware of their luck and ignorance, and are very likely to die at the hands of the prisoners.
Many times, they maintain a sense of distance and blessing towards newcomers.
I couldn't get through it, it was a strange corpse.
Only when you can get through it can you become one of us.
Chen Sheng survived the most cruel and fatal prank in the Black Abyss Prison for new recruits.
Of course, he did not have this awareness. After explaining everything clearly to Taoist Dapeng, he returned to his area.
Under the window, with white lace, she lay on the armchair, looking at the warm light in the darkness, looking very peaceful.
"It still has an impact. A person's body is righteous, and practicing unorthodox techniques will conflict with it."
Mr. Chen studied the Nine Falls Breathing Method given by Old Changtou and found that it had some merits, as it was a method that fits the needs of cultivation in the Black Abyss Prison.
But it also has flaws, and will still be eroded by the Black Abyss Prison to a greater or lesser extent.
This is the helplessness of the lower-level monks. It is good enough, but not good enough. There is no solution.
"call……"
He put away the Nine Falls Breathing Technique and began to practice his own health-preserving sutra.
This was the cultivation method that truly suited his style. When it started working, his body felt like the sun reviving, and he felt warm all over, sweeping away the cold and gloomy air of the Black Abyss Prison.
When you are refining Qi, time will pass by quickly if you are not paying attention.
The sunlight near the window has disappeared.
Outside, looking from the side, on a small black screen, there were three or two stars that were so dim that they were almost invisible.
"The only problem is that the Black Abyss Prison is too dark. I can't see the starry sky when I look up."
Every time at this time, Chen Sheng felt a little regretful. The Black Abyss Prison was not vast enough, and it was deep and majestic. It was really not a good place to practice the Star-Severing Sword Technique.
His mind sank into the sea of consciousness, and he used his divine thoughts as a sword, practicing sword techniques and honing his skills.
"How could this be? Has my Dapeng Taoist's mind degenerated to such an extent that I can't even bewitch a new jailer."
Taoist Dapeng became angrier the more he thought about it, and when he looked intently, he saw Chen Sheng leaning against the window, looking peaceful and leisurely, like a white flower growing out of the Black Abyss Prison.
"The Black Abyss Prison does not need beauty. I will tear you to pieces."
“Sometimes, even if you know it’s bait, you’ll swallow it.”
“Greed is something that exists in human beings since birth.”
Taoist Dapeng made up his mind and this time he put his heart into it. He cut out a small section of the scripture that he had kept hidden away, about fifty words, and focused his mind, letting it pass through Chen Sheng's mind.
He was not afraid that Mr. Chen would not take the bait. Before the danger arrived, everyone thought they could take advantage of the situation.
"Hmm? Old Changtou said that these prisoners all have the secrets of cultivation hidden in them. It turns out to be true."
Sitting by the window, Chen Sheng opened his eyes and saw a bright light flashing. The short passage of scripture sent by Taoist Dapeng made him feel as if his eyes were brightened.
These prisoners were indeed in control of the good stuff. No wonder the people from the Law Enforcement Hall couldn't pry open their mouths and were unwilling to kill them with a single blow.
He stood up and moved his body. Since Taoist Dapeng was unwilling to stay quiet, then let's play for a while.
"Why are you tempted again? Those prisoners are not easy to deal with."
Familiar footsteps sounded.
Old Chang opened his eyes and saw that it was indeed Mr. Chen and Taoist Dapeng. The cause and effect between the two were intertwined and it seemed that they could not be solved.
"I won't let you get away this time."
In number 16, Taoist Dapeng is really different. He looks serious and even cautious.
Now that the prey had been lured here, he had no intention of letting it go back alive.
"What about the rest?"
Mr. Chen said calmly.
"Then you have to beg me."
Taoist Dapeng appears arrogant on the surface, but he is secretly observing and testing Chen Sheng's bottom line.
"Please? Do you want to teach me how to practice? Or do you want to humiliate me?"
Mr. Chen sneered. Even though he didn't understand the temperament of the prisoners in the Black Abyss Prison, since they were ruthless people, secular laws were shit to them.
If you really ask for it, you will indeed gain something, but it will definitely be a humiliation.
"Why should I teach you for no reason?"
A flame flashed in Taoist Dapeng's eyes, and he felt that all his plans had come to nothing.
This guy is calm and stubborn, which is really annoying.
"Then I'll leave?"
Mr. Chen pretended to leave, but his feet stayed firmly on the ground.
“Click…”
Taoist Dapeng almost broke his fist. The young man knew that he had bad intentions, but still took the attack.
However, I watched his performance with a condescending and indifferent attitude.
The more this happened, the more he wanted to trample and tear apart the other person's dignity and life.
"The Dharma is not passed on to the sixth ear. Open the cage and lean over to me, and I will pass on the Dharma to you."
To this end, he compromised.
"good……"
Mr. Chen thought for a moment, used the jailer's nameplate, opened room number 16, and walked in.
"How did you get in?"
Old Chang's heart skipped a beat and he wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
He sighed. Facing the prisoners in the Black Abyss Prison directly was a way to death. Even though they were in shackles and their magic powers were sealed, they still retained some means.
So far, no jailer who has opened the cell and walked in without permission has been spared.
Mr. Chen can't get out this time.
"Hahaha, even if you are cunning and treacherous, once you are in the cell, your life and death are in my hands."
Taoist Dapeng saw that Chen Sheng had finally fallen into the trap, so he hurriedly cut off the life of the prison door and blocked it. He turned around and was filled with bloody and murderous aura, with red light surging, like a demon crawling out of the abyss.
"Teach me the Dharma."
Mr. Chen said calmly.
"Stupid and naive boy, look at your situation clearly."
Taoist Dapeng opened his eyes and his face became ferocious. Since he couldn't fool people with reason, he could only make amends with his iron fist.
He moved his body, his muscles and bones clanging. Even though his magic power was sealed and he was wearing shackles, the physique of a high-level monk was still able to tear tigers and leopards apart alive.
The chains clanged, and there was a murderous atmosphere in the cage. A big hand grabbed down with such force that it could break gold. It was extremely terrifying.
"Snap"
Chen Sheng's eyes were calm, without a ripple. He looked at the Taoist Dapeng who was coming to kill him, with the corner of his mouth twitching as if he was smiling. He raised his right hand high and slapped him down with one palm.
Taoist Dapeng's entire skeleton was about to be broken apart. His eyes were wide open, his mouth was retching, and he was half-squatting on the ground with a look of dejection on his face.
“You…what’s wrong with you?!”
He raised his head with difficulty, feeling a little uncomfortable and frightened. This man was too strong and could easily pin him down like a dragon or a tiger.
"I was born with supernatural powers, and I am not afraid of monsters and demons."
Mr. Chen did use his magical powers, but it was difficult to reveal it, so he made up a random excuse to get away with it.
"puff……"
Upon hearing this, Taoist Dapeng's blood boiled and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his throat. What sin had he committed to deserve meeting such a strong little soldier?
"Teach me the Dharma."
Chen Sheng saw that Taoist Dapeng was miserable and had no sympathy for him. He only cared about his cultivation method.
"Okay, okay, I admit defeat. I will teach you this Xuanhuang Qi Condensation Technique."
Taoist Dapeng's eyes rolled around, not wanting to force a fight, so he explained the method of cultivation, but his flow was not smooth, and he stopped for more than ten times before continuing.
“But there are some loopholes.”
Mr. Chen asked.
"No."
Taoist Dapeng looked into Mr. Chen's eyes, revealing a hint of sincerity.
"If it's false, I'll beat you up."
Chen Sheng had a half-smile on his face. He stopped pestering her, took the Xuan Huang Qi Condensation Technique, turned around and left.
"He saw that it was impossible."
Behind the scenes, Taoist Dapeng was in doubt. He had deliberately made omissions in the cultivation method he gave to Chen Sheng. If he followed his instructions, Chen Sheng would surely become so angry that his spirit would surge and his head would explode.
This is also a common method used by prisoners in the Black Abyss Prison. People are greedy and cannot be viewed with common sense.
"You are really strong. You knocked down Taoist Dapeng with just one palm. He is at the Foundation Establishment stage. Even though his magic power was sealed and he was tortured, he is still very scary."
At this moment, Lao Changtou was still a little shocked.
He saw Chen Sheng and knocked Taoist Dapeng to the ground with one palm, his jaw dropping in shock.
This is the first time I have seen such a fierce young man.
"A tiger in trouble is bullied by a dog. I was born with supernatural powers, so it's not surprising."
Mr. Chen explained that it was not that he was too strong, but that Taoist Dapeng was too weak. He emphasized the other party's desolation to increase the rationality of the argument.
"Brother Chen, I have something to say. You may not be happy about it, but I still have to say it."
Old Changtou was not concerned about the issue of combat power, but he had something to say. However, in the Black Abyss Prison, people's hearts were filled with good and evil, and he really couldn't say too much.
"You said, I'm not angry."
Mr. Chen will not rely on his high level of spiritual attainment to hinder others from speaking, but because he is at a higher level, he can look at the problem more rationally.
"These people's stuff is not easy to take. There is arsenic mixed in the food. It looks delicious and tastes good, but it can kill people."
Old Changtou was still kind-hearted, and he stared at the prisoners in the Black Abyss Prison as if he were looking at a group of demons.
They are not normal people. They are lawless and trample on morality and kindness. Once their flaws are caught, they will be killed in an instant.
"Thanks. I know what I'm doing."
This was the second time that Mr. Chen thanked Lao Changtou for his kindness. Lao Changtou was a cautious and kind old man. It was a remarkable thing in itself that he could maintain the brilliance of humanity in such a cruel place.
"well……"
Seeing Chen Sheng's confident look, Old Chang didn't know what to say.
Once you are in the mortal world and suddenly obtain magical skills, the desire to soar to the sky is impossible to suppress.
He saw many jailers who, despite knowing the danger, still rushed forward like moths to a flame.
The three rules of survival in the Black Abyss Prison.
Don't be curious.
Don't be greedy.
Show no mercy.
Touching any one of them would be fatal.
