Qining followed the light and looked over, only to see a hole about a foot square appearing under the opposite wall. The light came in through that hole.
Although it was only a faint light, Qining could clearly see the surrounding environment through this light. As he expected, he was really imprisoned in a small cell, surrounded by thick stone walls. The stone wall is not made of stone bricks, but is actually rock. The ground is also a hard rock, but it is very flat and smooth. His limbs are chained, and the thick iron chains are embedded deep into the rock wall. In this small stone room, there is no one except himself. , It was all empty, not even a straw.
Could it be that he was actually in the mountains
Qining could tell at a glance that the stone walls were all natural. They were simply carved and trimmed by someone. The entire cell was connected together. Naturally, it was impossible for the rocks to be mined from the mountains and transported out of the building. In other words, this The cell was indeed in the mountains, so was he still in Chaowu Ridge
Suddenly I saw a small tray sticking out from the hole. On the tray were a bowl of rice, two bowls of vegetarian vegetables, and a bamboo tube filled with water.
Qi Ning immediately moved over. The iron chain was long enough. Although it was heavy, it was still enough for Qi Ning to easily reach the threatening side. The hole was almost touching the ground. Qi Ning squatted and said outside: "This is where?"
But no one answered at all outside, and even quickly used a stone to block the hole tightly. The room was suddenly dark again. Qining was annoyed and pushed the stone with his hand, but he easily pushed the stone out. , and another bright light came in, I heard a woman's voice coming from outside: "I don't care about food all day." The voice was quite green, and she was naturally young. Then there were footsteps, and the woman quickly walked away.
Qining thought that the woman said she didn't want to eat for a day, maybe because she pushed the stone away as a punishment for herself.
Seeing the water in the bamboo tube, Qining felt thirsty, picked up the bamboo tube, raised his head and took a sip.
His body has already been combined with the Youhan Pearl, and he is immune to all poisons. He is not worried about the poison in the water, and Ksitigarbha does not need to use such methods to kill him.
The bamboo tube of water was quickly drank cleanly, but the water quality was very sweet. Qining had previously suspected that he was in the mountains, but now he was sure that such sweet water quality must be mountain spring water, but he did not know Are you in Chaowu Ridge
The leader of the cult is dead, Yin Wuji's life and death are unknown, and a large number of followers have fled. The Black Lotus Sect has been disintegrated and exists in name only. At this time, I think of Li Xigong and others, and I don't know whether they are alive or dead.
Qining has a strong will. Even though he is in such a difficult situation, he has not given up. He knows that no matter how difficult the situation is, he must be ready to fight back at any time. His physical strength and energy must be restored as soon as possible, so he cannot get a job. I asked if the food was good or bad and ate it completely.
Although it was not enough to say that he was full, this bowl of rice still allowed Qining to regain some strength.
Leaning against the stone wall, Qining was thinking about his previous battle with Ksitigarbha.
Qin Ning's inability to defeat Ksitigarbha was actually something that was expected. Although he had mastered the method of manipulating the energy of heaven and earth, it was only because he had peculiar meridians close to the heavenly veins that he could not reach the realm of a great master. Ksitigarbha was far from the level of a great master. He is able to control the energy of heaven and earth with ease, and can compete with two masters at the same time. His cultivation level should have entered the realm of a grand master.
Qi Ning obtained the method of controlling the energy of heaven and earth from the leader, but it was only able to gather the energy of heaven and earth into one point. In the previous battle, Ksitigarbha was able to control two streams of energy of heaven and earth to deal with himself and Yin Wuji at the same time. Qining I know very well that just by doing this, I am not as good as Ksitigarbha.
The leader taught the method in the Snowy Mountains in a hurry. Qining only controlled the breath according to the method taught by the leader, but it was only the simplest method. If this method is a swordsmanship, Qining has only just learned how to get started. Sword moves.
Qining knew that he was imprisoned by Ksitigarbha, and no one would know.
He was kidnapped by Ximen Wuhen in the northwest and headed to the Daxue Mountain. When he left, he left a letter to Duan Canghai, telling him that he was going to Hongmen Road for an appointment. Since then, he has not returned to the General's Mansion. Duan Canghai was naturally extremely worried and would definitely send People trace Qining's whereabouts.
Qi Ning has not returned for a long time, and the northwest army is leaderless. Duan Canghai can hide it for a while, but he cannot hide it forever. His duty is to send someone to report to the court secretly. If the court wants to trace Qi Ning's whereabouts, it is natural to start from Hongmen Road.
Hongmendao brought Ximen Wuhen's body back to Beijing, and he would naturally be interrogated by the court. If Hongmendao left with Qining after witnessing the leader setting fire to the temple in Zhuri Temple, then the court would probably eventually reveal the clues. Found the Black Lotus.
However, except for a few people present, no one else knew what happened in the ice pool. Ksitigarbha would naturally clean up all the clues left behind afterwards. Even if the court sent people from the Shenhou Mansion to investigate carefully, they would not be able to find out. Jizo's head.
Moreover, he is now imprisoned in an unknown place. Even if the Shenhou Mansion has great abilities, it is impossible to find this place.
Qi Ning knew that in the current situation, there was no other way but to rely on himself. However, he was imprisoned in an impregnable cell. After his internal power disappeared, he was no different from ordinary people. How could he escape from this cage
He didn't know how long Ksitigarbha would imprison him, but since he had arranged for someone to deliver food, even if he didn't kill him in the end, he would never be able to leave here for a while.
I'm bored and lazy in this cell, I don't know what to do day and night, I feel depressed, but I can't do anything.
Sure enough, there was no one to bring food for a long time. When the person brought food for the second time, Qining hurriedly said to the hole: "Girl, what exactly is this place? Please tell me."
There was no sound outside. After the meal was served, the footsteps disappeared.
After that, someone would deliver meals every once in a while. Qining estimated that there would be about two meals a day. Although he wanted to make the other person speak every time, the person was like a mute and remained silent. Qining There is nothing you can do.
Although Qi Ning could keep his composure, the longer the time went by, the more anxious he became.
He calculated the days based on two meals a day, and more than twenty days passed in a flash. Except for the person who delivered the meal for the first time, no one said a word to him since then.
The Chu army went north and used a two-pronged approach. The northwest has been captured. Has Eastern Qi fallen into the hands of Chu
What is the current situation of the civil strife in the Northern Han Dynasty? Judging by the days, it has been two months since Qu Yuangu led his army into the Pass. The victory or defeat between his Northwest Army and Beitang Hao's Luoyang troops should have been decided. If Qu Yuangu had not captured Luoyang, Then Tongguan was sealed, there was no way to retreat, and the food and grass were exhausted. Even if the Northwest Army was not defeated by the Luoyang soldiers and horses, it would definitely mutiny on its own.
However, I can't protect myself now, and I really don't have the extra time to care about who wins and who loses.
Nowadays, I keep thinking of the Duke Protector's Mansion. As soon as he got married, he left the capital to go on errands, leaving Ximen Zhanying alone to guard the empty house. Although state affairs were of paramount importance, he still felt guilty. What's more, Ximen Wuhen passed away in the Snowy Mountains. Hong Mendao brought Ximen Wuhen's body back to Beijing. Even if he blocked the news from outsiders, he could not hide it from Ximen Zhanying.
Ximen Zhanying's mother died when she was young, and she and Ximen Wuhen depended on each other for life. The relationship between father and daughter is naturally extraordinary. Once he learned that his father had died, Qining could feel the same grief in his heart.
In addition, Qi Ning was more worried about Gu Qinghan.
In any case, even without him, Ximen Zhanying still has the Shenhou Mansion behind him. Although Ximen Wuhen died, the Shenhou Mansion cannot be easily dissolved. Qu Xiaocang and others regard Ximen Zhanying as their biological sister. Once When Ximen Zhanying is in trouble, the Shenhou Mansion will naturally try its best to protect it.
But the only person Gu Qinghan can rely on is himself.
Although the Gu family is considered a wealthy family in Jingzhou, in the eyes of the officials in the capital, it is really not worth mentioning.
Now it seems that the whole Qi family is in harmony, but Qin Ning knows that it is only because of his existence. Once he is gone, the Qi family will immediately fall apart. The clan members, including the three old masters, will definitely attack Gu Qinghan. Although the emperor has removed After getting rid of the Sima family's troubles, he has already taken charge of the government. However, the Qi family also made many enemies in the government and the public. Once the Qi family's big tree collapses, those people will be ready to take action. Without his own protection, Gu Qinghan will not be able to support him. go on.
Then he thought of Tian Xuerong again.
Under his arrangement, Tian Xuerong has begun to reopen the East China Sea trade route with several wealthy businessmen. However, if he disappears, then this plan will definitely not be able to continue. He and Tian Xuerong have a skin-to-skin kiss. Although it is extremely secretive at this time, many people Everyone already knows that the Jin Yi Qi family is the protective umbrella behind the Tian family, and therefore the Tian family medicine store is hated by many people. If this protective umbrella disappears, the Tian family medicine store will surely fall into an extremely serious predicament.
Qi Ning now deeply understood that his own life and death was actually related to the life and death of too many people.
In this cell, I can't practice martial arts, but I have nothing else to do. I can only recall my past experiences one by one. Naturally, I also think of the beginning of my coming to this world, the small town of Huize, and even more... He met Xiaodie, whom he had never met but had a deep connection with him.
When he left Huize County, it was to find Xiaodie's whereabouts. Who knew that he would take another path after that, and Xiaodie's whereabouts were nowhere to be found. He still doesn't know whether she is dead or alive. When he thinks of Xiaodie, Qi Ning's heart I felt really ashamed.
When he first woke up in this world, he could still vaguely remember Xiaodie's appearance in his mind, but now it was much blurred, and in his heart he was hoping that Xiaodie could turn the danger into good.
