Cultivating Immortals From Prison

Chapter 18 The First Smell of Immortals
The burnt red soldering iron pressed hard on Tong Xuan's body.

yah~
yah~
Tong Xuan's screams and yells spread throughout the cell.

The old Taoist Tongxuan couldn't bear the pain, and screamed: "My lord, what the poor Taoist said is half false, and I will die badly."

Captain Ma sneered when he heard the words, "You didn't want to die in the first place."

After the torture, Tongxuan's sluggish spirit also improved a bit, which was really refreshing.

Old Daoist Tongxuan took a sharp breath, tears streaming down his face and said: "My lords, the poor Taoist is really not lying, there were immortals in the poor Taoist family."

Afraid that the murderer in front of him would punish him again, the old Taoist Tongxuan breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly continued: "Pindao was originally from Rongcheng, Yizhou. His family has been farming for generations. In my generation, he gave birth to three brothers. The elder brother starved to death. , the second brother was valued by the immortals, and he was taken away to pay homage to the immortal family's cave."

"Are you fooling around?" Captain Ma sneered unabated, and waved his hand, ready to let his subordinates use the vise and pull out Tongxuan's fingernails.

The old Taoist Tongxuan struggled and said: "My lord, when I was young, I also practiced martial arts with the martial arts masters in the neighboring village, but my bones were extremely poor. After practicing for 20 years, I still haven't reached the ninth rank. Ever since my second brother returned home at the age of 34 My dear relatives, you left me some elixir. After taking the elixir, my cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds. It only took me more than thirty years to achieve the current second-rank state. There are traces of these. I hope you can learn from them. The elixir dedicated to His Majesty, Pindao has eaten seven or eight pills, and it has been safe and sound for more than 30 years!"

At first, Gu Shen only thought that Tongxuan Taoist was making up random things to save his life, but when he heard about it later, his expression gradually became serious.

For a long time, he has always had a question in his heart, are there any immortals in this world?Or a cultivator?
But never seen or heard of.

He suddenly became interested in this Tongxuan old man.

If what Tongxuan old Taoist said is true, then those so-called "elixir" are really miraculous. Tongxuan old Taoist has not stepped into the ninth rank in 20 years of practice, which shows that the root bone is really bad, but after taking the elixir, it is in a short period of time. For more than [-] years, he has become a master of the second rank.

Although most people don't believe Tongxuan's old way, there are also people like Gu Shen who show a look of thought.

Just when Ma Xiaowei was about to continue the execution, he was stopped by Wang Pianjiang behind him, and then Wang Pianjiang asked everyone to go out.

Although Gu Shen really wanted to hear more information about immortals from Tong Xuan, but he had no choice but to leave Prison A and No. [-].

A group of people walked out of the cell.

"Bah!" Xu Yan spat on the ground and scolded contemptuously, "It seems that someone like Tong Xuan is worthy of a second-rank master? This is the softest second-rank master I have ever seen."

Gu Shen didn't say a word, maybe as Tongxuan said, he is a second-rank who took drugs, and he is different from those second-ranks who cultivated step by step, and he doesn't have the mentality of a strong man.

Suddenly, Gu Shen froze for a moment, as if he was no different from the old Taoist Tongxuan who took drugs?
"No, when I have a chance in the future, I have to try to fight against people and increase my actual combat experience. I can't be a giant with empty realm and internal strength," Gu Shen thought. I may not be able to become a cannon fodder villain to kill opponents across borders."

The crowd gradually dispersed, and Xu Yan, Li Ga, Zhang Shunli, and Gu Shen walked together.

Xu Yan put his arms around Gu Shen's shoulders, and said with a smile, "Little Gu, how many beautiful girls have arrived in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, will they go with the queen?"

Gu Shen nodded and said, "Okay, okay."

the following few days.

Gu Shen has been paying attention to the situation of Tongxuan Laodao in No. [-] Prison A.

On the second day after the torture, Ji An, the Imperial City Secretary's envoy, actually visited the Chao Prison in person and entered the No. [-] Prison.

After Ji An left, Fuwei Chizhi of Beizhen Fusi Town, who was resident in the imperial prison, took Wang Pianjiang, Ma Xiaowei and other Imperial City soldiers and horses out for a trip.

After returning, the torture of Tongxuan Taoist began again.

Looking at this situation, Gu Shen guessed in his mind, could it be that the words of the so-called immortals and elixir before were really made up by the old Taoist Tongxuan?
On this day, it was raining in the capital, Gu Shen thought that there were clothes to dry in the yard of his home, so he didn't go to Xiaoxiang Pavilion with his colleagues.

Three or forty meters away from Qiumingfang's small courtyard, Gu Shen saw a young man in gray servant clothes, poking his head, circling back and forth at the gate of his courtyard, and there was a carriage parked not far away.

Gu Shen observed for a while, and found that the person who came was an ordinary person who did not practice martial arts. He was relieved and ignored the person. Gu Shen walked to the gate of the courtyard, took out the key from his pocket, and was about to open the gate. Hear the servant speak.

"Is this Mr. Gu?" The young servant stepped forward and asked.

Gu Shen turned his head, looked at the other party, nodded, and said, "Yes."

After hearing Gu Shen's words, the domestic servant was obviously relieved, and said with a smile on his face, "Mr. Gu, my master is here to invite you."

Gu Shen was taken aback, and asked, "Who is your master?"

Gu Shen thought in his heart, during the year he traveled, he kept a low profile, except for his colleagues in the imperial prison and the girl from the Xiaoxiang Hall, he rarely had contact with anyone else.

Unless Gu Shen suddenly thought of the prison inmates who were released a few days ago because the new emperor ascended the throne and amnesty the world.

Xia Yuan Road?
As if to confirm Gu Shen's thoughts, the servant replied with a smile: "Mr. Gu, my master is Xia Shangshu of Hubu."

Gu Shen nodded, as he guessed.

Of course, other possibilities cannot be ruled out, but Xia Yuan Road is the most likely.

Because in the Imperial Prison, he had more dealings with Lu Yuanming and Xia Yuanlu, and Lu Yuanming would not be called "Master", and based on Gu Shen's understanding of Lu Yuanming, if he wanted to find him, he would come directly, and It's not about letting the servants pass the message.

Gu Shen regretted it a little. Actually, he didn't have much contact with Xia Yuanlu, but Xia Yuanlu was in Prison C[-] at that time, next to Lu Yuanming from Prison C[-], and many conversations between him and Lu Yuanming would be passed on to Xia Yuan. In Lu's ears, it was also to remind Lu Yuanming that Gu Shen talked a little too much.

Although it may not be troublesome, Gu Shen doesn't want to be noticed by too many people. If he had known that it would attract Xia Yuanlu's attention, Gu Shen would not have said those things at the beginning.

But the matter has come to an end, Gu Shen could only say: "Wait a minute, I'll go back and change my clothes and go with you."

The servant quickly nodded in agreement.

Gu Shen went into the courtyard to change clothes, did not keep the servant waiting, Gu Shen changed and walked out of the courtyard.

"Please sir." The servant waited for Gu Shen to get into the carriage, and then asked the groom to drive the horse.

Xiafu is located in Changlefang, north of Qiumingfang, with five or six squares in the middle, and the distance is not close.

Relative to the entire capital city, Changlefang is located in the northwest, adjacent to the imperial palace to the north and the residence of the Sixteen Kings to the east. It is the residence of dignitaries and dignitaries.
