Chapter Eighty-Four: Smile to the Hope Named Despair
Soon after, Xiang Guang also went to rest. Naturally, Zang Chongzhi couldn't sleep, and he also had no intention of practicing according to the method that the fat man forcibly taught him. He thought that he should not be able to catch up with his weak cultivation, so
He forced himself not to think about it for the time being and observed the surrounding situation.
In addition to Xiang Guang, there were four children, one boy, three girls, who were also resting in this cell. Zang Chongzhi didn't know who they were at the moment. After looking at them for a while, he looked outside.
Outside Cell No. 13, within the visible range of this acupuncture point, you can still see several cells in the distance, all of which contain children of varying numbers. However, Kuramitsuyuki took a closer look.
After looking at it, I found that the children in the other cells were in very bad condition. The cell alone was much messier than the one in No. 13. The dirt bed was also covered with dirty grass. I didn’t see anyone who looked like No. 13.
Mats have been made and dried in the cell from time to time. Others do not have the same routine as here, but sleep and wake up. However, everyone looks tired when they are awake, and they are dull and lack energy.
God. From time to time, monks passed by the cell, and when they saw anyone who was not practicing, they were whipped. The dark and shiny whip hit the flesh, and there were screams and screams. Hearing this, Zang Chong was frightened and could not imagine the whip.
What would it be like to experience it on yourself?
At this moment, the monk suddenly walked over to Cell No. 13. Zang Matsuichi panicked for a moment. When the man walked to the door, he finally remembered that he should——
"Why don't you sleep? Don't you guys in the thirteenth room all sleep during the day and practice at night?"
To Zang Mitsuki's surprise, the monk did not whip him for not practicing, but after asking him a question, he casually said, "I will practice my kung fu for a while without sleeping" and left to go elsewhere.
After the monk left, Zang Chongzhi looked at Xiang Guang, who was sleeping with his back to him, with complicated emotions, and whispered what he had just heard.
"Wait and hope...?"
——————
In the evening, Xiang Guang and several others woke up one after another. After Xiang Guang introduced everyone, they gathered around the inner wall and formed a small circle.
"...Okay, let's continue the topic from yesterday. It's still time to burn incense. Xiang Yu, please look down today."
A girl with a wide forehead who looked very quiet nodded, walked to the edge of the cell and sat down cross-legged, looking towards the end of the passage with her eyelids closed. Xiang Guang saw that she was ready, so he quickly started the topic.
"Then let's start.
, you have just started practicing now, if you don’t understand clearly, you can ask me privately later - we talked about it yesterday..."
It turns out that although the children in the cell were instilled with the introductory methods of spiritual practice, they were not taught spells in order to prevent them from gaining the power of monks. The daily exchanges in cell No. 13 were exactly what these children had to say about each other.
Exchange of exploratory methods of using Reiki!
Among them, the most active one is naturally Xiang Guang. He seems to have read a lot of books and has many wonderful ideas. He is also good at trying and summarizing thoughts. At the same time, he can always take care of everyone's changes and extend and extend the topic in different ways.
and Yao Ling'er, the long-haired girl who has been sitting next to Xiang Guang, seems to have an animal-like intuition. She doesn't say much, but can always hit the key points with her words; the short-haired girl Namei and the girl like a tree
Lang Wuze, a tall boy like a tree, often gives his own practical feedback on the conjectures Xiang Guang raised in previous discussions. Although Zang Chongzhi couldn't quite understand what they said, he could feel that Xiang Guang was firm.
In his words, a certain kind of flame called hope was ignited in the eyes of everyone in Cell 13, bringing about some kind of change that was completely different from other cells - he was the well-deserved core of this small group.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
At this moment, Xiang Yu, who was watching the wind at the door, suddenly started coughing regularly. Everyone looked at each other and quickly returned to their mound beds to sit cross-legged and adjust their breathing. However, everyone's attention was focused on the man who was slowly walking away.
The sound of approaching footsteps.
——That is the bell of death.
The gray-clothed monk walked through the prison room, scanning the children one by one, and then shook his head calmly.
In the afternoon, he has prepared other ingredients for tonight's "Peach Banquet", leaving only the "Peach" as the main ingredient, which must be selected and processed before dark. Moreover, the deputy sect leader just sent an order temporarily, tonight
The "Peach Banquet" has been temporarily upgraded to the "Ginseng Fruit Banquet", and the "Ginseng Fruit" must be selected with a standard of cultivation. Otherwise, the deputy sect master's face will not look good, and he will be in trouble.
But he looked all the way, and most of what he saw was unsatisfactory. He had picked out the children who met the "ginseng fruit" standard many times, and the remaining crooked melons and cracked dates made him frown frequently. It was too low, this cultivation level was too low,
A "Peach Banquet" is okay, but as for the "Ginseng Fruit Banquet"... Why are these idiots so slow in their cultivation?
Alas, if these losers were like the children in cell 13, I wouldn't have to worry about them.
Speaking of the 13th...
Gray clothes
The monk stopped in front of Cell 13.
————————————
As the footsteps approached, everyone in Cell No. 13 held their breath.
Past, past, past! - everyone is thinking in their hearts. Since Xiang Guang changed everyone, bad luck has not befallen Cell No. 13 for a long time, and this time it will definitely be -
——The steps stopped.
At that moment, everyone's heartbeats seemed to stop along with their breathing.
——Then, as if to make up for the stagnation just now, it started beating like crazy!
"You, yes, it's you, come out."
It can't be mine, it can't be mine... Zangmitsu kept saying to himself, while opening his eyes half in resistance and half in excitement.
In front of his sight, the finger of the monk in gray pointed directly at a girl with long hair: Yao Ling'er who had been sitting next to Xiang Guang!
"Ling'er!" "Sister Ling'er!"
Everyone screamed in pain, but seemed to be trapped by some invisible shackles, unable to move. They could only look at the long-haired girl miserably.
"What? You haven't done anything yet, are you waiting for me to invite you?" The gray-clothed monk frowned, but the child in Cell No. 13 was a self-conscious practitioner, didn't like to make trouble, and was well-kempt, which made him very satisfied.
, but it seems that there is still a disadvantage - if it were changed to another cell, the selected guy would have been pushed out like a plague god!
Yea, that’s really troublesome. The gray-clothed monk curled his lips, took out the key and walked towards the door lock. Everyone whined again, but the named girl Yao Ling’er seemed to be very calm, smoothing her long hair and getting ready.
She stood up, but her slender hands still betrayed her fearful heart, pressing them against the bed and trembling...
——Then, it was held.
Yao Ling'er turned her head in surprise, only to see Xiang Guang holding her hand tightly, with such force that it almost made a white seal.
"...Guang." Yao Ling'er's hand suddenly stopped shaking. She actually opened Xiang Guang's fingers one by one, then held his face and smiled, "Don't be stupid, didn't you teach us?
?You have to live no matter what. If you die, everything will be over."
The girl's pretended to be calm words eventually contained a slightly trembling cry, but she still finished her words with a smile.
