Chapter 112 Liu Xuanfeng Visited Here
Zhou Shihen was very dissatisfied with Tian Lin's fearless attitude. He pushed Tian Lin and the other two towards the cave behind the pond and threatened Tian Lin:
"We have five kinds of poisonous snakes in our bathroom. Some of them hurt, some make you itch, some make you sad, and some make you sick.
Anyway, there are all kinds of snakes in the bathroom, but I don't know which one you like, brother?"
Tian Lin didn't say anything, but Junior Brother Jiang was completely frightened.
He looked at the various snake holes in the tunnel ahead, and always felt that there were snakes coming out of those ventilated snake holes and licking his face.
"Brother, didn't we agree that you would enter the sect alone? I have been afraid of snakes since I was a child. I really can't stand it if you ask me to go into the water."
Junior Brother Jiang tried to pull Tian Lin's sleeve, but was slapped back by Senior Brother Zhao:
"If you hadn't gone to the Fengyue Pavilion, would we have been caught here? You know to call me Senior Brother now, but why didn't you call me Senior Brother when you went to the brothel?"
"enough."
Seeing that Senior Brother Zhao was talking incoherently, Tian Lin interrupted their argument.
He turned around and asked Zhou Shihen, "I don't know where my Junior Sister Han and Senior Brother Zhong are. Can you please take me to see them?"
Zhou Shihen sneered, "This is the water room, not the reception hall. Do you think I brought you here to drink tea? If you want to see your junior sister, I will let you see enough in the first twenty steps."
Sure enough, twenty steps ahead of the cave was a man-made stone chamber pit.
The three stone walls of the deep stone chamber are flat and smooth, and only the side connecting to the cave has a stone staircase leading down layer by layer.
The narrow stone stairs extend down to a depth of more than ten meters, where you can see the rippling water reflected by the sewage.
Zhou Shihen walked at the end of the group, holding a lantern in his hand, and pushed the people in front of him down the stone stairs.
Finally reaching the end of the stone stairs, he used his free hand to push Junior Brother Jiang in front of him and scolded, "What are you standing here for?"
Junior Brother Jiang cried and said, "There is no way forward."
Zhou Shihen laughed with joy:
"How can there be no road? The road is in the water -
You get into the water and feel your way along the stone wall to the south wall. There is a dog hole at the base of the south wall, and inside the dog hole is the water dungeon.
"My Junior Sister Han from Yaoyue Sect was locked up in there?"
Senior Brother Zhao, who was half submerged in the water, asked, and heard Zhou Shihen say, "Yes, you can find her once you go in."
At this time, Tian Lin had been completely submerged in the water, and the water in the deep pit of the stone chamber was shallower than he had imagined, only submerging him to the chest.
Because the light at the bottom of the stone chamber was dim, he had to feel the smooth stone wall before he found the "dog hole" on the south wall that Zhou Shihen mentioned.
The 'dog hole' was separated by an iron fence, and the top of the hole was only two finger joints above the water surface.
When Zhou Shihen used the incantation to open the iron bars, Zhou Shichou, who had disappeared above the stone chamber for a long time, finally appeared with a lantern.
Zhou Shichou's voice echoed over the stone chamber: "Wait a minute, Junior Brother Tian. I have already asked the Seventh Elder for mercy. You don't have to stay in the water room and suffer."
Tian Lin, who was about to enter the 'dog hole', turned around and asked Zhou Shichou above: "What do my fellow apprentices say?"
Zhou Shichou above was silent. It was obvious that he did not have enough face to ask the Seventh Elder to let Tian Lin and others go at the same time.
Tian Lin was silent for a moment, then laughed:
"Thank you, Senior Brother Zhou, for pleading for me. If you can allow my fellow apprentices to leave the water prison, I will be very grateful."
Tian Lin thought that rather than saying that the Seventh Elder was giving face to Zhou Shichou, it would be more accurate to say that he was giving face to the Heart-Searching Pill.
At this point, the Wenxin Sect would be unwilling to give up the formula of the Wenxin Pill, or to let itself die.
Therefore, I was not in danger of losing my life in the water dungeon. As long as the time came, the elders of the Questioning Heart Sect would definitely release me from the water dungeon and question me.
On the contrary, once Senior Brother Zhao and Junior Brother Jiang were imprisoned in the water dungeon, it became very difficult to "rescue" them.
"Okay, I'll talk to the Seventh Elder about this."
After Zhou Shichou finished speaking, he said to Zhou Shihen who was behind Tian Lin:
"Ninth brother, these white-clothed disciples of Yaoyue Sect are all my friends. For my brother's sake, please do not hurt them."
Zhou Shichou left, and Senior Brother Zhao's voice rang out behind Tian Lin:
"Although you are stronger than us, your cultivation is weaker than ours. We dare not enter this water prison, so how can we let you enter?"
Tian Lin remembered that there were snakes in the dungeon. He was not afraid of snakes, so he said righteously:
"If it were any other time, it would be fine, but this time I was the one who brought you out, and I will take you back no matter what. You call me the Peak Master, but is this Peak Master for nothing?"
Senior Brother Zhao's voice became even more choked up when he heard this. However, Zhou Shihen behind him said coldly:
"Don't bother to act like brothers. You, Yaoyue Sect, killed the Sixth Elder of my sect. We have shown you a special favor by not killing you. Do you still want to leave my Wenxin Sect?"
At this moment, footsteps sounded again from above:
"Junior Brother Tian, the Seventh Elder said that if you really want to save your fellow junior brothers and sisters, then you should go to Cell A in the water dungeon."
"What do you say about Room A?"
Tian Lin asked, and then he heard Zhou Shihen's voice laughing behind him:
"Room A is a place where one is sure to die. I have heard that only a few people in the history of Wenxin Sect have ever come out of Room A. And those who have come out of Room A have all achieved the Foundation Establishment Stage in the end."
Tian Lin frowned slightly when he heard this and began to doubt his own judgment.
Does the Wenxin Sect really not care about my life or death?
I said that the formula of the Heart-Seeking Pill was given by Elder Xiao, so they want to bypass me and go to Elder Xiao in person to ask for the formula?
But they wanted the formula of the Heart-Searching Pill in Elder Xiao's hands, so they had to give Elder Xiao some face.
Not to mention that we should treat the disciples of Baihua Peak well, at least we should not kill them.
"Junior Brother Tian, Room A is indeed extremely dangerous. There are too many poisonous snakes there, and their venom is too strong.
Even if you can use your true qi to protect yourself at first, once your true qi is exhausted, those snake fangs will pierce your body and eventually kill you. "
Zhou Shichou above advised Tian Lindao:
"In my opinion, it would be better for you to leave the water room alone and let your two junior brothers go in - in fact, ordinary water rooms are not as scary as imagined, and they will not cost the lives of your junior brothers."
Tian Lin was a little hesitant. He was afraid of death and did not have a life-and-death relationship with Senior Brother Zhao and Junior Brother Jiang.
At this time, Senior Brother Zhao also gritted his teeth and said, "Senior Brother, you don't have to worry about us. Since Junior Sister Han is still alive, it means that there is nothing to be afraid of in this water room."
This time, even Junior Brother Jiang was not bothered by Tian Lin. It was obvious that he could not ask Tian Lin to sacrifice himself and suffer for him.
"Room A is Room A. Since the seniors of the Questioning Heart Sect can survive in Room A, why can't I?" Tian Lin said, but he didn't go into the water room. He just turned around and looked at Zhou Shihen who was still standing on the stone steps and said, "Brother Shihen, please help me get my Junior Sister Han and Senior Brother Zhong out."
Zhou Shihen didn't say anything. Zhou Shichou above jumped into the water from a height of more than ten meters.
He splashed water, stood firm, and walked to Tian Lin with big strides, advising Tian Lin: "Junior Brother Tian, you don't need to take risks for this--"
He was not good at speaking, and after saying this he didn't know how to persuade her anymore.
Tian Lin decisively clasped his fists with him in the water and said, "If Senior Brother Zhou is really willing to help me, please release my Junior Sister Han and Senior Brother Zhong first."
Zhou Shichou then looked at Zhou Shihen. Zhou Shihen snorted coldly and muttered something, then the sound of floating water was heard in the water room.
Soon, a hand reached out from the "dog hole" and grabbed Tian Lin.
Tian Lin grabbed the wrist of the hand and pulled the person out. When he saw clearly that it was Han Yue, Tian Lin said, "Senior Sister Han, it's me!"
Han Yue's face was as pale as a corpse, but she still retained a trace of rationality and asked in a hoarse voice: "Junior Brother Tian?"
Tian Lin half-hugged Han Yue, and patted Han Yue's back lightly with his hand covered with true Qi.
After Han Yue spat out a mouthful of muddy water, Tian Lin first thanked Zhou Shichou, then took the pill handed to him by Zhou Shichou and stuffed it into Han Yue's mouth.
Han Yue's face turned redder, and she forced herself to stand up from Tian Lin's arms and said, "Junior Brother Tian, why are you here? Where is Senior Brother Zhong?"
Tian Lin tilted his head to look at Zhou Shihen, who said, "That madman is locked up in the stone chamber, you can rest assured."
No one knew what kind of pill Zhou Shichou had given her, but Han Yue's strength had recovered a lot. She held onto Tian Lin's shoulders to steady herself, and said to Zhou Shichou, "Quickly let my Senior Brother Zhong go."
Tian Lin was afraid that the conflict would escalate, so he raised his hand to block Han Yue who was about to pounce on Zhou Shihen, and then said to Zhou Shihen:
"Brother, please take my fellow disciples out. I will go into Room A by myself."
Zhou Shichou hurriedly said, "Brother Tian, don't worry. I'm here to keep them safe. After I take them away, I will immediately go and beg my aunt to let you out."
Tian Lin then instructed Senior Brother Zhao, "Keep an eye on your Junior Sister Han and take good care of her."
Although Senior Brother Zhao was injured by the Blood Cultists, he still has the cultivation level of the twelfth level of Qi Refining.
Tian Lin felt relieved only when he suppressed Han Yue.
At this time, Han Yue was not quite clear why Tian Lin and others appeared here, and why Zhou Shichou and others wanted to release her from the water prison.
But what she cares most about now is not Tian Lin’s life or death, but Zhong Wuji’s safety.
Now that she knew Zhong Wuji was not dead, she was only anxious to see Zhong Wuji. As for what Tian Lin would face next, whether he would live or die, she no longer cared.
Fortunately, Tian Lin didn't care about these things. He still remembered Han Yue's kindness in giving him the "Travel Notes".
In fact, a travelogue is not worth Tian Lin's life, but now that things have come to this, Tian Lin is willing to repay Han Yue's kindness with his life.
From now on, he no longer owed Han Yue anything.
"Now that everyone has left, can you come with me to Room A?"
Zhou Shichou had already taken his men away, and only Zhou Shihen and Tian Lin were left outside the washroom.
Zhou Shihen was openly asking, but in fact he was urging Tian Lin.
Tian Lin nodded, bent down and crawled into the "dog hole".
The so-called water dungeon is a series of stone houses set up in the "dog hole".
These stone houses are low, and adults have to walk with their legs bent to enter, and cannot stand up straight.
This posture is a great torture to people, as if they are being punished by being forced to squat in a horse stance for a long time.
In addition, all these stone chambers are only two finger joints above the water surface, below the two finger joints is dirty water, and above the two finger joints is the cave ceiling.
Adults who enter the water can only lean their heads out of the sewage to breathe in. If they move a little, their mouths and noses will be submerged in the sewage.
"Is this Room A?"
The cave was pitch black. When Tian Lin reached the end, he felt a stone door.
There was a word "甲" on the top of the stone gate, but he soon felt a few more engraved words below it.
Of course Tian Lin couldn't see the handwriting, but based on his sense of touch, he could tell that the handwriting was scratched out by someone's fingers.
"Liu Xuanfeng was here - Liu Xuanfeng, is this Elder Liu from Lianshui Peak of the Yaoyue Sect?"
Tian Lin was a little surprised and wanted to turn his head to look at Zhou Shihen behind him.
But this action was not easy, because even if he turned around, in order to prevent his mouth and nose from being submerged in sewage, he could only look up at the "ceiling" and could not look directly at Zhou Shihen.
"Yes, in addition to the elders of my Wenxin Sect who stayed in this Room A when they were young, Elder Liu of your Yaoyue Sect also came here when he was in the Qi Refining Stage. However, that was more than a hundred years ago!"
I don’t know how Zhou Shihen did it.
The tightly closed stone door slowly opened, stirring up a wave of dirty water.
Tian Lin spat out the dirty water that flowed into his mouth, then floated into the stone chamber.
I heard Zhou Shihen say outside: "I hope you are still alive when the sun rises tomorrow."
The stone chamber was closed, and layers of dirty water splashed onto Tian Lin's face.
Tian Lin didn't dare to move, because once his body moved, the water surface in the stone chamber would inevitably shake.
This sewage is not good to drink, and Tian Lin doesn't want to choke himself to death in this stone chamber.
After a while, the water in the stone chamber finally calmed down.
In this quiet stone chamber, the hissing sound of the beetle began to become clear.
Tian Lin stretched his right hand out of the water, and his true energy shot out a ball of flame, instantly illuminating Room A.
There were many small holes on the top of the stone room, and colorful snakes were running back and forth between the small holes.
It seemed that Tian Lin's arrival woke them up. From several small holes, snake heads popped out, spitting out their tongues, and slowly dived into the water, then swam towards where Tian Lin was.
