Cultivating Immortals From Prison

Chapter 4 Lu Qi
The general named Lu Qi who was taken into prison was eight feet tall, with a rough face, but there was a sense of elegance in his demeanor, giving him the feeling of a Confucian general.

Gu Shen knew about Lu Qi's situation, and it was Xu Yan who revealed it.

Last time, Zhao Shuang, the grandson of the dynasty, was arrogant and domineering in the prison, which left a deep impression on the officials of the prison.

This time the incident involved Zhao Shuang, an "acquaintance", and it became a topic of conversation in the imperial prison.

Lu Qi's wife, Bai Shisheng, was beautiful, and when she went shopping in the night market, she was bumped into and molested by Zhao Shuang.Later, when Lu Qi was not at home, he brought people into Lu Qi's house and took the opportunity to rape Bai Shi. Unable to bear the humiliation, Bai Shi hanged himself at home.

Later, Lu Qi found Zhao Shuang in the brothel with a knife to ask for an explanation, but was stopped by Zhao Shuang's experts. , ransacked his home, and sent Lu Qi to imperial prison.

After hearing what happened to Lu Qi, Gu Shen felt a fire in his heart.

"This dynasty is rotten from the inside out."

From this day on, Gu Shen became more silent and more motivated to search for the target.

The dignified general of the forbidden army, a fifth-rank master, unexpectedly ended up in such a fate, just because his wife was favored by the grandson, his house was ransacked and his family was wiped out.

If he doesn't work hard now, one day when he encounters Lu Qi's situation, he will only be worse than Lu Qi.

Gu Shen sympathized with Lu Qi in his heart, but there was not much he could do, he could only scoop some thick ones for him when delivering meals.

Room C[-], where Lu Qi was locked up.

Interrogation is ongoing.

Captain Ma put his hands behind his back, and the fire light shone on his face, making him look a bit gloomy.

Li Ga, Xu Yan, and another Xiaoqi named Tao Yiqiang are currently serving Lu with torture.

Gu Shen stood guard at the door of the cell, also watching the execution.

This punishment was first created by the Imperial City Division. It is called playing the pipa. The prisoner is pressed to the ground, his hands and feet are controlled, his shirt is removed to expose his ribs, and then a sharp knife is used to "pluck" the prisoner's ribs back and forth.

Gu Shen had seen Captain Ma use this method to interrogate prisoners before. The prisoners were basically in extreme pain, unable to survive or die, their flesh and blood festered, and finally the skin and flesh slowly opened and cracked, itching and hurting.

Gu Shen couldn't bear it, but he didn't look away. Although no one was paying attention to him at this time, he couldn't be careless, and if he wanted to stay in the imperial prison for a long time, this kind of scene would not be uncommon. My heart hardened.

This time, Lu Qi's wailing sounded for two full hours.

Gu Shen let the yamen go home, and passed by the wine shop to drink a pot of wine.

At home, in the yard, a small table was set up.

Gu Shen sat in front of the table and drank a whole jug of wine with half a catty of roast beef.

After looking up at the moon in the sky for a long time, I went back to my room to rest.

Lu Qi did not survive the torture of the Imperial City Division for three days before he signed and pledged it.

The bones of fifth-rank masters are very hard, but they were still crushed by Captain Ma.

Gu Shen knew that grandson Zhao Shuang had sent someone to the imperial prison, so he passed a message to Captain Ma.

Although the Imperial City Secretary is powerful, the grandson of the dynasty dare not offend him.

Gu Shen didn't know exactly what Zhao Shuang explained to Captain Ma, but it must be Lu Qi's life. After all, thinking in another way, Gu Shen didn't want someone to think about killing him all the time.

But after hearing the charges against Lu Qi, Gu Shen realized that he was still too simple.

[After the investigation by the Imperial City Division, Lu Qi, the general of the imperial army, rebelled with Yanzhou and secretly communicated with the enemy to betray the country. He was sentenced to Ling Chi and transferred to the three clans. 】

Gu Shen suddenly discovered that Zhao Shuang not only wanted to kill Lu Qi, but also wanted to kill Lu Qi's family.

"Fuck, sooner or later, labor and capital will be blackened by this twisted world!" Gu Shen complained in his heart.

While patrolling the cells, Gu Shen saw Lu Qi again, his ribs were broken, and he was relying on the strong vitality of a fifth-rank expert to hold on.

"You won't be ahead of Sui Guoliang, will you?" Seeing this, Gu Shen thought to himself.

After patrolling the prison, Gu Shen started another day of busy work. Almost every day, three or four batches of prisoners were brought in, which made Uncle Zhang miss the time when the world was not so chaotic, and the prison could not come for a few days. For the few prisoners, the current workload is several times that of before.

However, regarding the huge workload and harsh working environment of the prison, Gu Shen has no complaints and works conscientiously. If there is a selection event at the end of the year, Gu Shen will definitely be named "Top Ten Jailors of the Year".

It is precisely because Gu Shen doesn't talk much and works hard, everyone has a good impression of him.

In the next five days, Gu Shen absorbed the black matter that appeared after the death of the eight prisoners, and felt that his inner energy was getting stronger, and he was not far from breaking into the seventh-rank martial arts realm.

After being released from the yamen, Gu Shen walked out of the gate of the imperial prison to feel the fresh air from the outside world.

As much as he enjoyed his job as a prison guard, the damp, foul-smelling air was uncomfortable.

When passing through Fangshi, there are people coming and going, the sound of hawking and hustle and bustle, and the smoke is very strong.

He saw the Xiaoxiang Pavilion that Xu Yankou was touting. It was a five-story building, and each floor was tied with beautiful silk that moved with the wind, and the windows facing the street on the third and fourth floors were wide open, full of flowers and branches. The girls here are either waving handkerchiefs or covering their mouths and laughing lightly, which has a unique style.

Gu Shen withdrew his gaze and continued to walk forward. He suddenly saw some saplings placed outside a wood shop. Gu Shen stopped. He felt that his small yard was a little empty, with only one well.

"Buy a sapling, plant it in the yard, and enjoy the shade in summer." Gu Shen thought to himself.

He looked outside the wood shop for a while, and finally bought a sycamore sapling for [-] yuan. He thought that in the coming autumn, the yard would be full of golden colors, which might be very beautiful.

Holding the sapling as thick as a child's arm, Gu Shen returned to his own yard in Qiumingfang.

After some hard work, the saplings were finally planted in the middle of the yard.

After clapping his hands, Gu Shen looked at his results and nodded in satisfaction.

Although work is abnormal, life still needs style.

After eating, Gu Shen went back to the bedroom to meditate and practice. In the past two days, his energy was a little restless. He already felt a layer of separation. He knew that if he took one step forward, he would be at the seventh rank.

"There are still two steps." Gu Shen thought to himself.

When he first traveled through time, Gu Shen set a goal for himself - to step into the sixth-rank martial arts realm and become a second-rate master!
He went one step further, and it was the seventh rank.

At the seventh rank, there is only one step away from the sixth rank Martial Dao Realm.

Feeling it carefully, Gu Shen noticed that the internal energy in his body that had threatened to kill him at the beginning had been suppressed by his own internal energy, and there would be no more troubles.

I just want to drive this inner energy out of my body immediately, but I can't do it yet.

Gu Shen suspected that the cultivation technique that the sixth-grade expert practiced back then should be rather special, otherwise he would not have secretly unlocked the Hua Gong Powder of Huangcheng Division, and then broke free.

The wisp of internal energy left in his body now is also extremely tenacious, and perhaps he can only completely remove it when he reaches the sixth-rank martial arts state.

Two days later.

Sui Guoliang finally ran out of fuel and died.

This dignified commander-in-chief of the second rank, a master of the fourth rank of martial arts, and a big man in charge of a state's military, died silently in the imperial prison.

Gu Shen came to a place two steps away from Sui Guoliang's cell, and was a little bit embarrassed when he saw this scene.

A few days ago, he predicted that Lu Qi would take one step ahead of Sui Guoliang, but he didn't expect that Lu Qi was still heaving a sigh of relief, but Sui Guoliang would go one step ahead.
