Chapter 3
What happened to Zhao Shuang had a big impact on Gu Shen.

It's really not easy to survive in this troubled world where human life is so trivial.

In the eyes of powerful people like Zhao Shuang, just to vent their anger, they can kill the whole family.

This kind of feeling is indescribable. Suddenly knowing how insignificant I am, maybe one day some big people don't like me, and I will crush myself to death like an ant.

This was too heart-wrenching and made Gu Shen restless. He made up his mind that he must fight until he became a very high-level expert before going out. Now it seems that it is better to go to prison.

From this day on, Gu Shen worked harder to cultivate, and he knew the physical conditions of the prisoners in the entire prison.

The imperial prison divides the cells into three types according to the area, A, B, and C. It is said that at the beginning of the establishment of the imperial prison 200 years ago, there were T-shaped prison cells, but after more than two hundred years of development, the T-shaped prison cells gradually became towns in the past dynasties. The resting place of Fu and partial generals, martial arts is like rowing a boat, if you don't advance, you will retreat. Unless something important happens, Zhenfu and partial generals will only stay in the depths of the imperial prison to practice martial arts.

There is not much difference between the B-size cell and the C-size cell. At the beginning, the railings of the B-size cell were thicker and stronger than those of the C-size cell, but now, after many reinforcements, the B-C size cell is almost the same. Ordinary Jianghu masters will be like ordinary people after being pierced with pipa bones and taking Huagong Powder, with at most stronger strength, but it is absolutely difficult to break free from this kind of prison.

No. A cell is specially used to detain martial arts masters of the third rank. Unlike No. B and C cells, No. A cell has two heavy gates. Open one to close, and then open the back one to enter the cell.

In Room C and No. [-], Gu Shen came outside the cell, and through the thick iron railings, he saw that the prisoners inside were silent.

"It's still dead."

The prisoner was called Lin Wuyou. Gu Shen had been paying attention to him for many days. He was a sixth-rank martial arts expert. He often robbed the rich and helped the poor. But he looked miserable and looked like an evil ghost.

"It might be a relief for him, too."

During the torture and interrogation before, Lin Wuyou spat on Captain Ma's bloody phlegm, and was castrated by the anxious Captain Ma on the spot. After that, Lin Wuyou completely wanted to die.

Without waiting for Gu Shen to think, as he approached, a black substance floated up from Lin Wuyou's body, flew towards Gu Shen, and gradually merged into Gu Shen's body.

As if eating a large tonic, Gu Shen's face flushed slightly, feeling the surge and strength of the internal Qi in the meridian, Gu Shen's face changed, and he walked quickly to the A-name cell.

Cell A and No. [-] was vacant. Gu Shen first opened a heavy gate, then closed the first heavy gate after entering, and then opened another heavy gate to enter the cell. After closing the second heavy gate, Gu Shen then Sitting cross-legged in the cell.

No. A cell has no windows, the sun and the moon cannot be seen, and the inside is pitch black.

Gu Shen felt the movement of the turbulent inner energy in his body, because the exercise he practiced was the "Red Flame Kung Fu" learned from the martial arts school. During the operation, there was a trace of scorching heat, and he was sweating profusely in the dark .

After the black substance was mixed in, the internal energy became stronger than before, and Gu Shen could feel that the metabolism was faster than before, as if some impurities were discharged from the body, and the surface of the body was sticky.

After two sticks of incense, Gu Shen slowly opened his eyes. He felt that he was in a better state than ever before. His body was healthy, full of vitality, energetic, and there was a force in his body.

"I have been promoted to the eighth rank."

Feeling the state of his body, Gu Shen felt at ease.

After more than a month, after absorbing the black substance from six prisoners, he finally crossed from the ninth-rank martial art realm to the eighth-rank martial arts realm.

The talent of the original body was extremely poor, and he was unable to enter the ninth-rank threshold after spending three or four years. If Gu Shen cultivated normally with the talent inherited from the original owner, if he wanted to break through to the eighth-rank, he would need at least ten years or even more hard work. Even for some highly gifted geniuses, it takes at least a year.

But now Gu Shen has only used it for more than a month, the speed of promotion is simply terrifying and astonishing.

Without wasting time, afraid that he would not show up for too long to attract attention, Gu Shen got up and left Room A and No. [-] before he had time to comprehend and think carefully.

After being released from the Yamen, Gu Shen walked out of the imperial prison. It was already dark, and when he returned to Qiumingfang's home, Gu Shen took a cold shower to wash off the dirt on his body, then ate something casually, and then went back to the room to meditate and realize enlightenment.

The gap between the eighth rank and the ninth rank is very large, Gu Shen has no master, so he can only slowly explore by himself.

An hour later, Gu Shen finally received his merit.

While feeling the changes in his body, he thought about his current situation.

In the edict prison, almost all the guards are ordinary people who do not enter the ninth rank, and because of the harsh air and environment in the prison, their health is not as good as that of ordinary people.

Small flags like Xu Yan and Li Ga are all ninth-rank martial arts cultivation bases, and the cultivation bases of the captains are generally higher, most of which are eighth-rank martial arts realms. A few captains have reached the seventh-rank martial arts realm, such as Ma Xiao Wei.

"Now my strength is barely comparable to that of the captain, but I'm still at the third rank, and I'm just an ordinary third-rate master in the Jianghu. I still need to develop in a low-key manner, so that I can't reveal my current strength, and I can't attract others' attention, Gu Shen. Gu Shen, think about Lin Wuyou's end, I will examine myself three times a day."

"During this period of time, I have absorbed the black matter produced after the death of six prisoners. It can be said that I have gained a lot, but there are also things to reflect on."

Gu Shen found a total of ten target prisoners, one of them died for more than half an hour due to Gu Shen's inattention, and could no longer produce black matter.Another one was very resilient, and was not tortured to death by the Imperial City Division until he went to the guillotine.The other two are still alive today. At first their bones were quite hard, but after being tortured in various ways, they turned into dogs that gnawed everywhere, causing a lot of people to go to jail.

"This black substance has great benefits for me, but we must also pay attention to the disadvantages. As long as the prisoner meets the two conditions of being with me within half an hour after his death, the black substance will directly float into my body. With the improvement of the big realm, it is easy for me to not be able to control the sudden increase of internal energy, if it is exposed and discovered by the boss, and I am used as a guinea pig for research, it will be over."

"In the future, if there are outsiders present or the environment is not suitable for the cross-level promotion, I will stay away from the corpse. I would rather not break through than expose myself."

Gu Shen sorted out and summarized the experience during this period of time in his heart.

The next day, when the sky was slightly bright, Gu Shen came to Yingmao, the imperial prison. Above the gate of the imperial prison, there was a painting of a ferocious beast "Qi An", which was shaped like a tiger, with teeth and claws, terrifying and ferocious.

After walking into the gate, and having a chat with his colleagues, he inspected the cells as usual. Today, Gu Shen inspected more cells because Zhang Chenggong, who was with him, was arranged by Captain Ma to carry the body.

When a prisoner is found dead, he will be carried by the door panel and thrown outside the gate, and handed over to the prisoner's relatives.If the prisoner has no relatives, he is dragged outside the city and thrown into a mass grave.

"It is estimated that a prisoner died last night." Gu Shen guessed.

Sure enough, when he was inspecting the cell, Room B No. 13 was already vacant. A doctor with a university degree was imprisoned here before. After being tortured twice, his body couldn't stand it anymore. Compared with those masters of the rivers and lakes, it was really Not even close.

After Zhang Chenggong came back, he complained a lot. The Taixue doctor was covered in feces, urine and blood, so bad that he almost vomited out the overnight meal.

At noon, I went to the kitchen to pick up the rice bucket, and delivered the food to the prisoners. When I sent it to Room B and No. [-], Gu Shenduo took a good look at the prisoners in the prison. This was one of his goals.

The prisoner in Room B and No. [-] has now become a blood man, with two thick steel chains piercing through his lute bone, which looks like a skinned ghost, which is daunting. When Gu Shen first saw this prisoner, he was taken aback. , really terrible.

The name of this prisoner is Sui Guoliang, who was originally the commander-in-chief of Jingzhou, a second-rank official in the dynasty, and a fourth-rank martial artist. After the southern rebels rose up, Sui Guoliang led the army to put down the rebellion. They won more victories than they lost, and the momentum of the rebel army was contained. And gradually fell into a disadvantage, who knows that the governor of Jingzhou suddenly gave Emperor Xuanhe a secret plan to join the Jingzhou general Sui Guoliang to raise the bandits' self-respect and plot a rebellion.

The governor of Jingzhou was originally a confidant of Emperor Xuanhe, and with a lot of evidence, Emperor Xuanhe immediately ordered the governor of Jingzhou to temporarily act as the commander-in-chief to quell the rebellion, and the Imperial City Secretary escorted Sui Guoliang to the capital and sent him to prison.

The Secretary of the Imperial City tried his best, and Sui Guoliang also insisted that he never had any intention of rebelling against him. So far, Sui Guoliang's affairs have not progressed, and not many people have even asked about it, which made Gu Shen feel a cold attitude from the court.

However, even a fourth-rank master is still a mortal body. Although the tenacity and tenacity of life are far beyond that of ordinary people, Sui Guoliang can hardly hold on after so many tortures.

"Lord Sui, it's time to eat."

Gu Shen took a spoonful of thick porridge from the bottom of the rice bucket, poured it into Sui Guoliang's rice bowl, then sighed softly, turned and left.

After a long time, Sui Guoliang opened his eyes and looked at the porridge in front of him, but did not move.

The days just passed by.

In the eyes of his colleagues, Gu Shen is still weak and coughs from time to time, but he is slowly getting better, at least he will no longer be in danger of his life.

Gu Shen plans to pretend that after a while, he can pretend to reveal that he has stepped into the ninth-rank martial arts realm unintentionally. The quality is not too abrupt.

One day, Gu Shen was sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals and listening to Xu Yan brag about how attractive and graceful the girl in the Xiaoxiang Hall was, who was proficient in playing, playing and singing, and another prisoner came in.

Every day, people come in vertically and go out horizontally. The reason why Gu Shen pays attention to this person is because the person who comes here is a famous military general, and he is also a fifth-rank expert; .
