"well……"
A faint sigh was heard.
Mr. Chen slowly opened his eyes, a clear look flashed in his eyes, and he knew that Taoist Dapeng was causing trouble again.
He stood up, walked to cell number 16, and said, "What other immortal secrets do you want to teach me?"
Taoist Dapeng has evil intentions, but he can always get mysterious methods from the other party. From this point of view, he is not at a loss.
"You come in first."
In the cage, it was dark, and the figure of Taoist Dapeng was almost swallowed up. However, his voice was unusually clear, and even had a sense of tranquility.
"good……"
Mr. Chen was not afraid. He opened the cell door and walked in swiftly.
In the darkness, he could clearly see the figure of Taoist Dapeng. He was sitting on the ground with calm features, dressed in black, and had an indescribable demeanor.
He looked surprised and said, "What's wrong with you? You don't seem to be in the right mood."
He had never seen Taoist Dapeng in this state before. His previous impression of him was that he was sinister and unruly, with a bit of indifference towards murder.
Now, Taoist Dapeng is calm, all his anxiety has been washed away, like a sage who has achieved enlightenment, which is shocking.
"I just thought of some things and felt a little regretful."
Taoist Dapeng shook his head, his tone somewhat desolate, his voice drifting away, spreading to the past, and asked: "Do you also have someone you can't forget?"
At this moment, he was not a vicious prisoner, but a loser who had experienced many setbacks. Looking back at the past, he saw the regrets of his youth, and his mood fluctuated and he became lonely.
“Quite a lot.”
Mr. Chen looked dazed, thinking of many people. He had lost a lot along the way.
He lost his elders, disciples, fellow Taoists, relatives and friends one by one, and could not hold on to anything. Naturally, he had many regrets and frustrations.
"Then you should be able to understand my feelings. It is an indescribable worry, a yearning that cannot be blocked by the boundaries of time and space..."
Taoist Dapeng looked at Chen Sheng, his eyes flashing brightly, as if he had seen a confidant. He moved his mouth, expressing the frustration and confusion in his heart.
His descriptions are concise and powerful, with a power that strikes deep into the soul.
“Do you understand this, too?”
Mr. Chen spoke in a calm tone, as if he was stating a fact: people covered in blood have filthy souls. Many things in the world seem very precious to ordinary people, but to extremely evil people, they are nothing special and can be easily discarded.
"After I became a Taoist, I met a woman. I was ignorant at the time and only knew that Taoism was above everything else. Now looking back, my heart is filled with loneliness, and as time goes by, it becomes more and more lonely."
Taoist Dapeng leaned back, his whole body hidden in the darkness, with his head held high, but he could not look proud at all. People only saw a kind of unwilling stubbornness.
"So what do you want?"
After hearing these words, Chen Sheng knew that what Taoist Dapeng said were all carefully woven lies and traps.
According to Wang Xian, Taoist Dapeng is an extremely fierce person. He has no warmth in his life and will not care about anything.
"I want you to pass on a message for me to express your feelings and to tell me how much you miss me."
Taoist Dapeng placed the prepared letter in front of Mr. Chen. The letter was written in black on white paper, and every word was written neatly, expressing the friendship in his heart.
"You are a prisoner, and it is difficult for me to do things for you."
Mr. Chen could not see any problem with the letter, or perhaps he said there was nothing wrong with the letter, but the problem was with the recipient.
Taoist Dapeng didn't know that his plan had been seen through. Seeing that Chen Sheng didn't refuse, he felt relieved and said, "You have learned my fundamental inheritance. I don't ask you to recognize me as your teacher, but there is a fate between us after all. For this reason, you have to help me."
He played the emotional card. A young man like this who had just started practicing cultivation could be easily bewitched.
That’s not all…
"I'm not asking for anything, I just want that woman not to spend the rest of her life with resentment."
"I will never let you make this trip in vain. I will introduce you as my successor in the letter. Then you will receive the full support of a Foundation Establishment cultivator."
He did not just play the emotional card, he was also willing to provide cultivation resources, as if as long as Chen Sheng went to deliver the letter, the road ahead would be smooth.
In fact, it is a dead end.
The recipient was a crazy woman who had been tricked by him and almost died. The two were sworn enemies.
If Chen Sheng went there as his successor and met the so-called "Daoist companion", he would be afraid that he would be torn apart by the other party in person.
Especially that letter, expressing love, seemed more like a mockery and ridicule.
“Wonderful, really wonderful.”
Mr. Chen clapped his hands, as if he had seen the demeanor of the prisoners in the Black Abyss Prison.
Appeal to people's emotions, explain things to them with reason, and lure them with benefits. With these three tricks, few people can stay sober and they will become confused in an instant.
"What's the meaning?"
Taoist Dapeng was stunned. This reaction was wrong. Shouldn't he be moved and happy to go there?
"After you started practicing Taoism, you fought and killed people all the way. There is no such thing as a Taoist companion."
Without Wang Xian's information, Chen Sheng might have been confused. It was not because Dapeng Taoist's story was so exciting, but because it just hit his soft spot.
I don’t know when it started, but he also became somewhat sentimental in love.
Maybe he remembered the person in the coffin.
"How could that be? I am also a human being, I also have emotions and desires."
Taoist Dapeng's body stiffened. He had a premonition that the game, which was almost certain to win, would end in vain.
He tried to remain calm, looked puzzled, and tried his best to find an excuse to gain Mr. Chen's trust.
"When you team up with someone, your teammates are either dead or disabled. Such people have no friendship with anyone, only enemies."
Mr. Chen saw the wickedness of human nature. Taoist Dapeng was such a heartless and ruthless person, but when it came to tenderness, his words were so profound.
These people are extremely good at controlling people's hearts. Because they understand them, they can make better use of them.
"Ha...haha...you're joking."
Taoist Dapeng chuckled, using his smile to hide the violence in his heart, but in fact he was already on the brink of collapse.
He could hardly hold it any longer. Mr. Chen realized something and realized that his human plan was about to fail.
"You lied."
Mr. Chen said frankly.
The decisive words extinguished the last bit of fantasy in Taoist Dapeng.
“Clatter…”
The chains were vibrating violently, and the bound figure became extremely excited, waving his arms madly, with a ferocious look and bloodshot eyes, giving people a terrifying feeling.
"How come you don't have any empathy at all? Why don't you join the game?"
Taoist Dapeng roared loudly, feeling extremely lost and frustrated.
He was really useless. He couldn't even control a new jailer and was suppressed and exposed everywhere.
"No matter how hard a person without a Taoist partner tries to deceive others, there will still be a hint of fantasy."
Mr. Chen was thinking of something, and there was a hint of tenderness in his eyes. When one truly misses someone, one can tell their emotions through their eyes.
Even if it looks very real, it is fake.
"You saw through my deception from the beginning, but you didn't point it out. Instead, you treated me as an actor on the stage for you to watch. Do you... think I'm stupid?"
Taoist Dapeng's aura was somewhat unstable, sometimes high and sometimes low, and at its highest point it far exceeded the power that a prisoner should have.
His eyes were very dangerous, like a mad beast that wanted to run out and tear everything apart.
"Um."
In response to this question, Mr. Chen gave a clear response.
Then……
"I kill you."
The violence in Taoist Dapeng's heart was completely ignited, mixed with emotions such as failure, shame and anger, reaching a state of destruction.
"boom"
A powerful aura burst out from his body. The shackles on his hands and feet, as well as the chains on his body, were all glowing, flowing with sealing power.
Even so, he broke free of his restraints and gained some power.
The long-lost strength returned to his body and mind, even if it was only one-tenth of his peak, but the way he looked at Chen Sheng was still as if he was looking at an ant.
He slapped his palm down, and strands of energy whistled like a sword, cutting throats and suppressing spirits, with unparalleled power.
"Prisoners riot..."
Old Changtou sensed the prisoners' momentum in breaking through the seal and was startled, like a frightened old sheep.
This situation rarely occurs and is caused by prisoners rioting and escaping from prison.
As the prison boss of Area A11, it was his duty to sound the alarm immediately and ask the monks from the Black Abyss Prison to suppress the situation.
"It's bad, the Qing Emperor is in there."
Da Fu saw the source of the riot, which was in cell number 16. He thought of something and looked carefully. Sure enough, he saw Chen Sheng's figure. He couldn't help but feel unsteady and was frightened.
"You probably forgot that I was born with supernatural powers."
At this time, Mr. Chen was not panicked at all, nor did he know that someone outside the cell was worried about him.
With indifferent eyes, he looked at Taoist Dapeng and the other party's pressing hand. He shook his body, and a deep magical power flowed through his body. A hidden precious light flowed on his body surface, like a magic weapon.
"Bang"
With a slap of his palm, the seemingly majestic Taoist Dapeng retreated uncontrollably, flew into the air, and slammed heavily against the wall of the cell.
The collision was so powerful that the black wall shook slightly, and bits of smoke and dust floated down. Then Taoist Dapeng fell heavily to the ground.
“Hey…”
His face was filled with extreme pain, and his facial features were twisted together, as if all the bones in his body were broken. Large amounts of blood gushed out of his throat, blocking his trachea, and he could not make a sound.
However, he wanted to speak so badly and felt so aggrieved in his heart that he tried his best to break through the blockage of foreign objects and finally let out a roar like a wild beast.
In Area A11, Lao Changtou and others felt as if their throats were blocked by something. They opened their eyes wide and showed shock.
When the Taoist Dapeng rioted, their hearts sank to the bottom, thinking that a horrific bloodshed would occur.
But with a slap from Chen Sheng, all danger was gone, and Taoist Dapeng fell to the ground, his breath weak and wilted.
"Are you okay?"
Old Chang looked at the miserable Dapeng Taoist, then looked at Chen Sheng who was safe and sound, and asked in a low voice.
He was almost on alert.
Fortunately, I was a step slow, otherwise it would be very embarrassing, with much ado about nothing, and I would be held accountable.
"It's okay. After he broke through the blockade, he was surprisingly weak. It was just a scare tactic."
Mr. Chen gave a reasonable explanation. Although the combat power that Taoist Dapeng had just erupted had reached the tenth level of Qi Refining, the danger level was not small.
Lao Changtou and others believed it. After all, it ended too quickly, which made it easy for people to associate it with parallel imports.
"You still have to be more careful in the future."
The worry in Dafu's eyes has not completely disappeared. Chen Sheng is the first person with whom he has common interests in the Black Abyss Prison, and he doesn't want the other person to be in danger.
"Um."
Mr. Chen responded.
"You have violated all three survival rules of the Black Abyss Prison. If you don't wake up, you will surely suffer misfortune."
A serious-looking young man was attracted by the riot. When he saw Chen Sheng walking out of cell No. 16, a trace of concern flashed in his eyes. But after observing that the other party had no injuries, he turned around and revealed his stereotyped side.
In his words, he was not optimistic about Chen Sheng's future, and there was also a warning in his words: contact with prisoners would mean death.
"His name is Cai Rong, and he is also from our District A11. He is a cautious person and will definitely live a long and healthy life."
Old Changtou introduced the young man, listed him as a model among jailers, and strictly implemented the three survival rules of the Black Abyss Prison.
Cai Rong kept his distance from prisoners. As long as he stayed away from danger, there was no danger.
"The Green Emperor is a little different."
After Old Chang finished speaking, he looked at Cai Rong, his face full of seriousness, without a trace of pretense.
He is already very old and has a way of judging people. Chen Sheng has been successful many times in his dealings with Taoist Dapeng, but he himself is safe and sound. It is obvious that he has some skill and luck.
"In the past few years, I have seen jailers trying to please prisoners, but they can win once, but not every time. If they lose once, they will have to pay back their money with interest, and even lose their lives."
At the beginning, Cai Rong also had doubts about the three survival rules of the Black Abyss Prison. He also had dreams of getting benefits from the prisoners and then soaring to the sky.
However, when he saw a talented colleague being carried away the next day, his opinion began to change.
What’s even more horrifying is that after the death of that colleague, three jailers died within five consecutive days, all of them killed by the prisoners.
He suddenly became cautious and observed the Black Abyss Prison. He highly respected the three laws of survival and believed them to be the precious wealth left by their predecessors.
"Thank you for your concern."
Mr. Chen was able to grasp the key point. He did not argue or distinguish, but only conveyed his goodwill.
"You still don't realize the seriousness of the matter. Sooner or later you will regret it."
Cai Rong was stunned for a moment. He did not expect Chen Sheng to react like this. He snorted coldly and ignored him.
"Don't mind it. There's nothing wrong with what he said. It's just that there are always exceptions."
Old Changtou is still very optimistic about Cai Rong. He believes that with this kind of awareness, he will be able to survive in the Black Abyss Prison until retirement.
He even saw his own shadow in Cai Rong, but the other party was too young now, lacking the accumulation of years, and could not see clearly enough.
“He’s still a nice guy.”
Mr. Chen can tell the good from the bad. Some people are caring and concerned about you, but when it comes to being ruthless, they are more ruthless than anyone else. Others may have a sharp tongue, but a soft heart.
Cai Rong said a lot, but apart from those things that sounded sharp, there was actually a hint of warning and concern in his words.
