Cultivating Immortals From Prison

Chapter 63 The Tranquility Before the Storm

Sure enough, as Xiaowei Ma said, a large number of prisoners were arrested that day.

Some are spies placed in the capital by rebels from all sides, some are gangsters who have a case but fled in fear of crime, and some are criminals who live in seclusion in the capital.

There are a large number of wrong cases. For example, some masters of the rivers and lakes did not commit any major crimes. At most, they were charged with several crimes of wounding.

But this time they were all caught!
Emperor Chongning was furious, and the general personally led troops to clear the capital, and dealt with it strictly and quickly.

For many people who have ghosts in their minds, they are naturally panicked.

It is rare for ordinary people to applaud the court's measures. At least so many murderers and villains have been arrested, and life for these powerless ordinary people will be much better.

But some people were happy and some were sad. All the officials in the imperial prison could be said to be mourning again and again, bending over tiredly.

In the past five or six years, the world has been in chaos, the Imperial City Division has arrested people everywhere, and the workload of the prison has doubled compared to before.

In the imperial prison, cries, grievances, and all kinds of noisy voices gathered together, making people frown and feel depressed.

Xu Yan came out of a cell, holding a blood-stained whip in his hand, panting tiredly, propping his waist with one hand, and leaning on the railing of the cell with the other, he looked at Gu Shendao who had just finished patrolling the cell : "Old Gu, why do I feel that you are quite happy after such a tiring job?"

There is an order from above that these prisoners must be dealt with severely and quickly.

When this order came down, the prisoners who were imprisoned in the imperial prison were basically sentenced to death. Usually, when there was no such order, people would die every day in the imperial prison, and very few people could walk out of the imperial prison gate alive.

Now that there is this order from above, why don't all the officials in the prison use their housekeeping skills?
Moreover, although the imperial prison covers a large area and there are many cells in it, it cannot hold so many prisoners pouring in.

In order to lock up more prisoners, on the one hand, the prison changed the original single room into a multi-person room, and at the same time speeded up the trial. That's right, there's still a seat vacant.

Xu Yan, a strong Ninth-Rank fighter, is now exhausted like this, which shows the intensity of the torture.

All the colleagues are exhausted, but Gu Shen is very happy.

Today, he has absorbed the black substance fifteen or six times. Although the quality is not high, the quantity is better than that. He feels that he has been significantly improved again after stepping into the realm of the innate master.

Although many people were arrested and tortured in imperial prisons, Gu Shen didn't feel guilty. Flies never bite seamless eggs. Since these people were sent to imperial prisons, they must have committed crimes.

This time a large number of people were arrested, and indeed many of them were wrongly convicted, but there were no wrongful cases.

Some prisoners were tortured to death. Although the crimes they committed during their lifetime were not capital crimes, they still endangered many people, and it would not be a pity to die.

Gu Shen absorbed these black substances with peace of mind.

Gu Shen touched his face and said, "Is there? Am I happy?"

Xu Yan shook his head amusedly, and while beating his waist with his hands, he walked towards the table of the Eight Immortals. When he passed by some multi-person cells, some prisoners inside stretched out their hands through the railing to cry for grievances. Xu Yan swung the whip in his hand and whipped In the past, the screams continued.

Gu Shen sighed, in this environment, it is really difficult to develop a good temper.

"Old Gu, if you really like our line of work, you can join our Imperial City Division. Although you don't treat jailers as outsiders, after joining the Imperial City Division, whether it's benefits, treatment, or future promotion, it's much better You are ten times stronger as a jailer."

With that said, Xu Yan walked up to Gu Shen, and said in a low voice, "Maybe the position of Colonel Ma will be yours in the future."

Xu Yan wanted Gu Shen to join the Imperial City Division, but he actually had his own ideas.

Gu Shen is about to break through to rank seven, if he joins the Imperial City Division, his future will be boundless.Xu Yan knew how much he was, and he would be an ordinary captain at most in the future, but Gu Shen was different, he must be better than him, and he and Gu Shen had a good relationship, thinking that Gu Shen would join the Imperial City Division, and he would be fine in the future Hug Gu Shen's thigh.

Hearing this, Gu Shen quickly waved his hands and said, "Brother Xu, I want to keep the iron rice bowl passed down from my ancestors in my life, and I don't dare to think about it in the Imperial City Division."

After hearing Gu Shen's words, Xu Yan couldn't help but sighed in disappointment, he knew that Gu Shen would refuse.

After all, Colonel Ma also approached Gu Shen to talk about joining the Imperial City Division before, but Gu Shen rejected them all.

"Sigh, I really don't understand what's going on in your head, Lao Gu, you have to know that such a good opportunity doesn't mean that it will happen." Xu Yan said.

Gu Shen smiled, "Brother Xu, I'm not that ambitious."

After saying a few words, Gu Shen continued to inspect the cell.

Today is really rewarding. Before, I only absorbed black matter three or four times a day, but today I can absorb it once or twice every time I patrol around.

However, Gu Shen became more and more aware of the seriousness of a problem, that is, his current realm is too high, and the effect of absorbing the black matter produced by these ordinary warriors after death is no longer obvious.

Moreover, based on the information Gu Shen currently knows, the realm of the innate master is already at its peak, and he doesn't know how to cultivate any further.

One is that there is no precedent for it, and the other is that there is no corresponding exercise.

This is the urgent question that Gu Shen is facing now.

"Well, if that incident didn't happen, maybe you can ask everyone in Song." Gu Shen felt a little regretful.

It has been nearly two years since time travel. Gu Shen has never believed in gods, and now he has gradually accepted it. He knows that he is still a lot worse than those in the fairy family. It is just because of some reason, it is rare to see fairy traces in the world of mortals. .

During this period of time, Gu Shen even wondered whether this imperial prison or even the entire Dayin Dynasty was not suitable for him?

In the prison, everyone is very busy.

"Brother Gu."

In front of the Eight Immortals table, Zhang Shunli, who had just finished his work, first poured Gu Shen a bowl of water.

Gu Shen waved his hand, and Zhang Shunli picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp. Then he was not satisfied, and drank three more bowls of water before stopping.

"I really didn't expect that the crown prince was assassinated and died." After putting down the bowl, Zhang Shunli said with emotion.

Gu Shen nodded.

A group of low-level colleagues in the imperial prison have been guessing what happened since early in the morning, which caused the imperial army and the Imperial City Secretary to be everywhere on the street.

By the afternoon, word had spread of the reasons.

The death of a prince of a country is not a trivial matter, and it is impossible to hide it. Many people in the capital are discussing it, and many people in the imperial prison are also sighing.

For everyone in the prison, Prince Zhao Shuang was already an acquaintance. Of course, Zhao Shuang was not familiar with them.

When Zhao Shuang was the emperor's grandson, he gained a great reputation in the capital, and was imprisoned by Emperor Xuanhe many times for self-reflection.

But the country is easy to change and the nature is difficult to change. After Zhao Shuang walked out of the imperial prison, he still went his own way.

I don't know how many families have been destroyed because of his family over the years.

Even in the imperial prison, some people were dissatisfied with Zhao Shuang's actions, such as Xu Yan and Zhang Shunli, but they were only dissatisfied in their hearts and dared not speak out.

But the world is unpredictable, who would have thought that the prince, who was once mighty, is now dead.

"It must be because he was arrogant and domineering, offended the masters of the rivers and lakes, and was assassinated by the masters." Zhang Shunli said.

Gu Shen stretched out a finger and put it in front of his mouth, "Successful, be careful when you speak."

Zhang Shunli looked around in fear, then nodded.

After all, the person who died was the prince of the dynasty, even if he did all kinds of bad things, it's not something ordinary people like him can talk about.

As for what he said just now, if it spreads out, he will inevitably end up dead, and perhaps his colleagues will execute the sentence.

Gu Shen also sat down to rest for a while, and looked at Zhang Shunli in front of him. Although he was still dark and thin, his body was much stronger.

"Successful, the recent martial arts practice has achieved results, and the body is much stronger than before." Gu Shen said with a smile.

Hearing what Gu Shen said, Zhang Shunli also laughed happily, and said, "It's still thanks to Brother Gu, if it wasn't for Brother Gu's guidance, I would definitely not be able to practice this effect. even better."

Gu Shen smiled lightly, but did not deny it.

Although he doesn't know how to teach people martial arts, but the realm is placed here after all, and he can see the problem at a glance, which is a hundred times, a thousand times better than those martial arts instructors.

Zhang Shunli looked a little hesitant, and said: "Brother Gu, I don't know if there is a mistake in the induction, I think... I seem to be about to feel the breath."

When Gu Shen heard this, he laughed.

"Brother Gu, please don't make fun of me." Zhang Shunli thought that Gu Shen was laughing at him, and scratched his head, showing a hint of shyness on his dark face.

Gu Shen shook his head, "I didn't laugh at you."

The reason why he laughed was because he knew that Zhang Shunli was not far away from generating inner energy and entering the ninth rank.

Just kidding, the majestic Xiantian Martial Arts Grandmaster personally gives advice and teaching from time to time, if he still can't step into the ninth rank, then he really wants to find a piece of tofu to crash him to death.

"Successful, give me your hand." Gu Shen said.

Zhang Shunli passed his hand in doubt.

Gu Shen placed two fingers on Zhang Shunli's wrist. From his perception, Zhang Shunli's muscles were active. He only looked thin, but he actually had flesh.

"It's really fast from the self-generation of internal qi, but at this speed, it will take half a year." Gu Shen thought to himself, "Then help him."

A wave of internal force entered Zhang Shunli's body from Gu Shen's fingertips, helping him further improve his physique.

Zhang Shunli didn't know that Gu Shen used his internal strength to help him sort out his muscles and bones, but he felt warm and comfortable all over his body.

Gu Shen let go of his hand, nodded with a smile, and said, "Indeed, you are not far from the self-generation of internal qi."

"Really? Brother Gu." With Gu Shen's approval, Zhang Shunli was very excited.

Gu Shen nodded with a smile, he was very happy to see Zhang Shunli, a young man who is actively working hard.

Zhang Shunli is the only son in the family, and was almost led astray by Xu Yan and Li Ga before.

Fortunately, he slowly came to his senses, knew that he had to support Zhang's family, and began to practice hard. Now it can be considered that his hard work has been rewarded accordingly.

Looking at the overjoyed Zhang Shunli, Gu Shen wondered if he should give him the Haoyuan Dan at home, after all, he didn't need those pills.

But after thinking about it, Gu Shen dismissed the idea.

Although Hao Yuan Pill is not very useful to him, it is still very effective for ordinary martial arts practitioners like Zhang Shunli.

In the future, if Zhang Shunli suddenly showed extraordinary talents in martial arts from ordinary people, it would inevitably attract suspicion. If the Haoyuan Pill was traced by then, there would be no way to explain it.

After all, the Haoyuan Pills were taken from the old Taoist Tongxuan, and the Taoist Tongxuan got these Haoyuan Pills from his second brother.

In fact, he still has a potential powerful enemy now, that is the second brother of Tongxuan Taoist who worshiped in Qingyunmen.

After letting go of the Yamen.

Gu Shen, Xu Yan, and Li Ga went to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion to drink and listen to music.

Zhang Shunli is now full of blood, and his heart and mind are all about practicing kung fu, hoping to break through to the ninth rank as soon as possible and become a real warrior.

"Shunli, boy, tsk tsk, I still don't know the difficulty of practicing martial arts. If you don't have talent, you will be able to reach the ninth rank after ten years of practice." Xu Yan shook his head.

Li Ga nodded, agreeing with Xu Yan's words, and said: "According to his training method, he can't do it in 20 years. One is that his talent is low, and the other is that he has no master to teach him."

As he said that, Li Ga looked at Gu Shen, "Old Gu, I'm not saying you're not good at teaching, but you're different from those martial arts coaches after all. Spend money to go to the martial arts hall to learn. With his practice method, if he can reach the ninth rank, I will never drink flower wine again."

Xu Yan jokingly said: "You are really sloppy. It will take ten or twenty years to break through the ninth grade. After so many years, you still drink the dynamic flower wine, hahaha."

Gu Shen looked at Li Ga with pity.

With things in his mind, Gu Shen has no intention of listening to Qu'er.

After finishing the pot of wine on the table, Gu Shen threw a silver coin to Xiaowei, and left the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

"Brother Gu." Xiaowei looked at the money in her hand and shouted, but Gu Shen had already strode away.

Many girls around looked at Xiaowei and the ingot of silver in Xiaowei's hand enviously. Even in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, there are not many guests as generous as Gu Shen.

Xiao Wei looked down at the money in her hand, with a frustrated expression, and put the money into the purse hanging around her waist.

Qiuming Square.

Gu Shen returned home and sat under the sycamore tree in the yard for an hour, but there was no woman who climbed the ladder and climbed the wall again.

Gu Shen frowned and looked towards the courtyard next door. Since Everyone Song left yesterday, there has been no movement.

Gu Shen didn't feel at ease, instead he was shrouded in depression, he felt the calm before the storm.
