She was going crazy inside. The barrier prevented people from entering and leaving, but it could not block the sound. There were monks guarding outside. When they heard the shrill screams, they didn't know what was going on. They looked at each other and decided to report to the guardian.
Now this man is, in a sense, the most honorable person in Xu Ling Sect. If anything goes wrong, they cannot afford it.
One person left to report, and just as he walked down a flight of stairs, he saw a group of people coming down. He saluted and said, "Protector, Mr. Du, Master."
The one leading the way was Zuo Yuezhi, followed by Du Pan and Zuo Tianlang, and behind them were two women holding things in their hands.
This person told Zuo Yuezhi about Gu Fuyou's crying, but he didn't know why.
Zuo Yuezhi, with his hands behind his back, led a group of people to the room and ordered the guarding monk to remove the barrier and open the door. Du Pan said, "Stay outside and guard well."
"yes."
When Zuo Yue and his companions entered, they saw Gu Fuyou kneeling on the ground, in great pain. Zuo Tianlang said, "He was fine just now, why is he dying all of a sudden?"
Zuo Yuezhi glanced at him. Zuo Tianlang waved his fan and stopped talking. Zuo Yuezhi looked at Gu Fuyou coldly and raised his chin. The two women handed the things in their hands to Du Pan and stepped forward to support Gu Fuyou.
Gu Fuyou was numb and still let them do what they wanted. The two men pressed her down and made her kneel on the ground. Du Pan approached and took something. There was a rustling sound, which was the sound of pouring liquid. The liquid fell on Gu Fuyou's back. Gu Fuyou couldn't help but screamed in pain.
The liquid fell on her back like magma and seemed to burn immediately. The burning pain permeated her skin and flesh. The hot liquid flowed towards her heart, forming a dense net around her heart. With every beat of her heart, she felt this fiery pain that was unbearable for a human being.
She suddenly felt an unknown fear. This fear did not come from pain, but from something else. She said, "What are you going to do?" The pain made her voice tremble, and she became even more panicked. She began to struggle.
It was no use. When she looked up, she saw Du Pan making hand seals in front of her. She had a terrible premonition and didn't know how to stop it. She was a lamb to be slaughtered, with no bargaining power. She could only shout in vain: "Stop!"
Perhaps it was because the mark was formed, her back felt like her skin was being torn off, her consciousness was also dazed at this moment, and her mind was hazy and blank. Du Pan grabbed her hand, pricked a drop of blood from her hand, and dripped the blood into Zuo Yuezhi's palm. The blood turned into a red line and melted into his body.
Zuo Yuezhi's deep voice sounded, and he said to Gu Fuyou: "Stand up."
The two women let her go. Gu Fuyou was in a daze, and she subconsciously did what he said. She stood up and stood straight in front of Zuo Yuezhi. Her eyes were confused, and a cold and slippery stream of Yin flowed from her lungs to her heart.
Until Zuo Yuezhi said again: "Sit at the table."
Gu Fuyou walked to the table and sat down as he said. When he came to his senses, his face was pale and his hands on the table could not stop shaking.
She realized what had been done to her, and it felt like she was hit hard on the chest: "You made a slave contract for me, you..."
Her voice was trembling, unwilling to show weakness in front of these people, but she couldn't help but contain a hint of grievance. Killing is not the right thing to do. She became a prisoner, alone, but still had dignity.
She was a proud person, always worried about others looking down on her, so she had to refine her sword and make a name for herself. She could give up life and death, freedom, but she could not give up her dignity, otherwise, she would have nothing left.
She is a human being, the third lady of Xiaoyao City, the daughter of Wanli Peng Bird, not a slave. Why do they treat her like this
She smiled bitterly in her heart. She was incompetent, she had no power to fight back, she was nothing now.
Zuo Yuezhi said: "We have just signed the contract. You may feel a lot of discomfort, but you will be fine in two days." On the way here, he had decided that in order to completely control Gu Fuyou, he had to sign a contract with her and turn her into a slave. No matter where she went in the future, she could not escape the control of the Zuo family.
This slave contract was a kind of contract developed by his Zuo family. It was not something that could be signed at will. It required the preparation of medicinal materials and the formation and branding, so it could not be signed immediately on the way.
The Zuo family did not sign slave contracts with everyone. People in the world feared this kind of power, fearing that they would bully the weak and force people to sign contracts, and one day everyone in the world would become a slave of the Zuo family. But people in the world were reluctant to give up such loyal slaves.
Therefore, the Zuo family made a covenant with all the people in the world, and with all the people in the world, to only make contracts with those who committed heinous crimes, those who had gone astray and the children of slaves.
Gu Fuyou does not seem to be among these three, but Zuo Yuezhi has his own explanation for this matter to outsiders.
Now that the contract is completed, he can finally put his mind at ease.
Zuo Tianlang came to watch the fun and said, "Dad, please pass this contract to me so I can play with it too." The people in the Gu family were more stubborn than each other and seemed unwilling to bow to others. Now that the Gu family had a slave, he wanted to try and see if they were stubborn enough to break the contract.
Zuo Yuezhi shouted, "Is this something you can play around with? Get out!"
The slave contract is derived from the contract of the spirit beast. There are similarities between them, both cannot disobey the orders of the master. There are also differences. Once the spirit beast contract is signed, the master and the spirit beast cannot be changed. As long as one party dies, the contract will be dissolved; but the slave contract can be transferred at will. Even if the master dies, the contract will not disappear. Once you become a slave, you will be a slave for life. In today's world, slaves have a lower status than spirit beasts.
So far, no one has found a way to break these two contracts.
Du Pan took out a knife and a porcelain bottle, cut Gu Fuyou's wrist, and used the porcelain bottle to collect the blood. After that, he applied elixir and the wound healed as before.
Gu Fuyou did not move, allowing him to take her blood. Seeing that she was obedient, Zuo Yuezhi smiled and said, "If you cooperate, Xu Ling Sect will provide you with good food and drink, and I won't need to use the contract to instruct you to act, so you can avoid so much suffering and both of us can live in peace. In the future, when you are more obedient and behave properly, I can let you out of here, unlock your spiritual power, and let you continue to practice."
Gu Fuyou said nothing. After the group finished their work, they left, the door was still closed, and the barrier was still down.
Gu Fuyou stood up, took a step, and fell on the carpet. She simply lay on the ground and didn't get up.
There is no use in being angry or feeling wronged. All she feels now is sadness.
There was still a burning pain in her back. She was so unwilling and in such pain that she felt that this was the greatest insult in the world. The Zuo family completely deprived her of her qualifications as a human being, shattered her dignity, and trampled on it.
She suddenly thought of Zhong Michu, the contract between her and her, and the scene when she was contracted. Was she in the same mood as herself, or perhaps even worse
I even wanted to tie her down for life.
Is this retribution
Endless guilt, self-loathing, and depression mixed into a dark despair. Tears fell from the corners of her eyes. She curled up and hugged herself, saying repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
She curled up on the ground and fell asleep without knowing when. The tears on her face were still wet and she could still feel the burning pain on her back in her dreams.
The lights in the room were bright, and she could not feel the passage of time, nor did she know whether it was dark or dawn outside. When Gu Fuyou woke up, she noticed someone had entered the room. She opened her eyes and saw a woman from yesterday carrying food in.
She had not fasted, so she would eat. She just lay there, not talking or moving.
The woman said, "I will come to clean up the dishes later. If you don't want to eat, the Left Protector will come over and let you eat."
After saying that, the woman walked out. Gu Fuyou was still lying on the ground. At this time, she looked around carefully. The room was equipped with tables, chairs, beds, cabinets, and dressing tables, but there were no sharp objects. She was probably afraid that she would commit suicide. Now she was not starving to death. After all, she was a monk. If she hit her head against the wall, she would only be half dead. She had to be rescued.
Now even if I want to die, I can’t.
His fingers traced the pattern on the floor out of boredom.
When she struggled yesterday, she kicked the carpet askew, revealing the carved patterns on the stone slabs beneath it.
Her fingers were moving unconsciously, and after drawing for a while, she suddenly felt something strange. She stood up and pulled the carpet completely open. There was a pattern of auspicious clouds on the floor. The whole room had a pattern of auspicious clouds on the floor. At first glance, there was nothing unusual. The buildings in Lihentian were all carved with these patterns.
Gu Fuyou groped along the way and finally realized that something was wrong. This was a simple trick, not even a formation, but just a kind of ancient mechanism.
She searched for half a day and finally found the key under the bed. She pushed it but there was no movement, and she couldn't help feeling disappointed.
When he turned around, he saw a hole quietly appearing on the ground in the middle of the room. The mechanism was so ingenious that it made no sound when it was opened. There were stairs in the hole that led down to the darkness. There was a cold and damp air coming from the hole, as if there was the underworld below.
Gu Fuyou's heart was pounding, and he was afraid that the woman would come back and see him, so he quickly closed the mechanism. A moment later, the woman came in and glanced at the food on the table.
Gu Fuyou followed her gaze and frowned. She hated the feeling of being dominated by Zuo Yuezhi, and although she had no appetite, she still walked over and ate the food.
The woman then cleared the dishes away. Gu Fuyou sat for a while, thinking that this was the lowest level of the dungeon, and there was only one room like this on the entire level. It must be a place where extremely important people were imprisoned. How could such a mechanism be set up on the ground
Zuo Yuezhi let her live in there to make sure everything was safe. He should let her live in a place isolated from the world. How could he let her live in a cell connected to a deep cave
Could it be that he didn't know about this cave? It was possible that if there was a formation, someone with his level of cultivation would be able to detect the difference immediately. The mechanism was different, just like the table, chairs and benches. Without the flow of spiritual energy, it was just an ordinary object. If she hadn't read a lot of books, she wouldn't have been able to tell.
But this is the Thirty-Third Heaven, his Zuo family’s territory, there is such a mechanism, how could he not know about it
After thinking it over, she decided to find out what was going on. She looked at the door and saw nothing was happening. She opened the mechanism again, stood in the cave, took a breath, and walked down the stairs.
The first few steps required hunching over, as the ground was about half a foot thick. The further down you went, the wider it became. The stairs were winding, and I didn't know how long I had walked before I finally reached flat ground.
There was a wide open space in front of him, and a dome above his head. The ground was covered with sharp rocks, and it was dark and cold, just like the underworld.
Gu Fuyou shone the night pearl in his hand forward and continued walking. In the dim light, a pair of huge golden balls suddenly appeared in front of him, floating in the air.
Gu Fuyou's breathing stagnated, and she couldn't help but take two steps back. That was not a golden ball, but a pair of animal pupils. After hesitating for a while, she walked to the side. Where the light reached, only a little shadow of this thing was revealed. It was very big. I'm afraid the body hidden in the darkness was huge, like a mountain. She was as small as sand in front of it.
This thing was lying prone, with a human-like appearance, covered with hair, and shaped like an ape. The reason it was lying prone was because something like a steel nail pierced through its shoulder bone and nailed into the ground.
Gu Fuyou sucked in a breath of cold air. There were a total of sixteen steel nails on both arms, and perhaps there were more on his body.
A light flashed in Gu Fuyou's mind, and he remembered something. It was a record in the "Records of Natural History". There is yin and yang in the world, there is positive and there is negative. There are auspicious beasts and there are evil beasts.
The auspicious beasts are the dragon and the blue phoenix, and the evil beast is Zhu Yan, who "launches an army when he is seen". He only appears when there is war in the world and has the ability to destroy the world.
The first time it appeared was during the battle between the Dragon Clan and the Blue Luan Clan tens of thousands of years ago. The two clans fought, and the Blue Luan was annihilated, and the Golden Dragon royal family was destroyed. Zhu Yan appeared, and the two clans stopped fighting. Zhu Yan could not be killed, so he could only be sealed. The two clans suffered heavy casualties before they were able to seal him.
At this point, the two races were severely damaged and had to recuperate, and the human race had the opportunity to rise.
Ten thousand years later, the Four Immortal Sects gradually established their roots, and the human race's cultivation of immortality gradually improved. It was at this time that rumors of Zhu Yan's appearance arose. No war broke out at the time, and everyone said that it was the Zhu Yan that was sealed by the Dragon Clan and the Blue Luan Clan that broke free and ran away.
At that time, although there were many immortal sects among the human race, there were only four sects that were truly powerful.
The human race has become independent and is no longer willing to lower its status. It prays for protection from the Blue Luan and the Dragon Clan, and even complains about the war between the two races, which caused such a ferocious beast to be provoked and which it was unable to clean up. Its faith in and fear of the two races has also faded invisibly.
Eventually all the sects united and chose a leader, hoping that by sticking together they would be stronger and be able to fight against Zhu Yan.
At this time, the more powerful you are, the more weight your words carry. From that period on, the power of the Four Immortal Sects slowly infiltrated various sects, and there was also a trend of weak sects offering resources to strong sects and begging for protection.
Until Zhu Yan was captured and sealed, this period of time established the unshakable position of the Four Immortal Sects.
How the Four Immortal Sects fought against Zhu Yan in the past is recorded in history as a heroic act worthy of praise. However, as to how Zhu Yan was finally sealed by the Four Immortal Sects and where he was sealed, the record is unclear.
However, there is an interesting statement in the "Records of Natural History" written by the Green Emperor - Zhu Yan, who was sealed by the Dragon Clan and Qing Luan, did not escape. The so-called Zhu Yan wandering in the human world was completely a drama directed and performed by the Four Immortal Sects.
The one that was sealed was not Zhu Yan, but just a chess piece used by the Four Immortal Sects to dominate the world.
As the leader of the Qingluan clan, Qingdi experienced the great war between the dragon clan and the Qingluan. She is very familiar with Zhu Yan and Zhu Yan's seal, so her words naturally carry some weight.
When everyone came to their senses, they found that the Four Continents had been gradually controlled by the Four Immortal Sect, and they became more convinced of this. That's why people secretly said that the Four Immortal Sect had obtained the Four Continents by dishonorable means; that's why the Green Emperor had belittled the Four Immortal Sect in "Records of Natural History", and that's why the Four Immortal Sect had the confidence to ban this book.
Until now, few people know about this matter.
Gu Fuyou walked forward, feeling nervous. So, is this thing in front of him the Zhuyan, a ferocious beast that is as famous as the Dragon Clan and the Blue Luan and can destroy the world
The author has something to say: I am already dizzy_(:3j∠)_
There are probably two or three more chapters.
