Chapter 16 Darkroom Prisoner

Hu Qingpeng hit the trunk of a tree and was bounced over two feet away by a huge rebound force. He broke many branches and rolled and fell all the way, falling on the thick fallen leaves at the bottom of the tree, causing his muscles and bones to be painful. He was quite risky just now, but fortunately, the wind direction did not change during the fall. In addition, his muscles and bones were extremely strong, and his body was protected by alien true qi. Otherwise, even if he did not die on the spot, several bones would have to be broken. Moreover, the fallen leaves in the woods accumulated for many years, forming a layer of soft cushion, which just absorbed the remaining energy of his fall.

Hu Qingpeng collapsed and gasped for a long time, slowly climbed up, his throat sweetened, and he vomited a few mouthfuls of blood. He smiled bitterly. The injury this time was definitely not light, but I don’t know if he could escape the pursuit one after another? Although the other party did not dare to learn from him to jump off the cliff, it was not difficult to find this place, so he had to hurry up and take action. He looked up and saw that the surrounding terrain was slightly ups and downs, and the trees were tall and straight, and there were no bushes that could easily hide. However, he had already seen the escape route before jumping off the cliff. After distinguishing the direction, he immediately tried his best to run east.

Hu Qingpeng ran for a moment and suddenly realized that something was wrong. The wounds scratched by branches on his body were bleeding continuously, leaving a clear mark behind him. As long as the tracker had a little experience, he could catch up with him. He had a sudden inspiration and jumped into the stream and waded forward, allowing the water to rinse the blood.

Turning around the foot of the mountain, he suddenly heard a shrill wolf howl from afar, as if it was a mourning cry before his death. His heart sank. Did the pursuers catch up so quickly? Seeing that the mountain walls ahead were covered with green vines, hanging onto the shore like screens, he hurriedly jumped over and hid behind the thick vines.

Unexpectedly, there was a dark cave hidden behind the vines, more than two feet high from the water surface, and the entrance was covered with green moss. Hu Qingpeng was curious and walked in with the wall of the cave. Unexpectedly, he walked deeper and deeper. The cave was winding, extremely humid and cool, without any light coming in.

I don't know how long I walked, the cave became narrower and narrower. Hu Qingpeng was about to turn around because he had no idea, but suddenly he heard a strange roar coming from the front, full of energy, which made his eardrums buzz. Hu Qingpeng was very surprised. Can anyone still live in the cave? Just hearing this roar, you can guess that the other party's internal strength is deep, and even above the head! Listen carefully, there was another burst of energy from punches and feet hitting the stone wall, and the doubts in his heart became stronger. After continuing to walk, he came to the end of the cave. He heard heavy breathing sounds and chain shaking sounds from behind the stone wall, as if a wild beast was imprisoned in the abdomen of the mountain.

Hu Qingpeng lightly clamped the stone wall and felt that the stone wall was quite thick and difficult for human power to penetrate. However, the surface of the stone wall was flat and smooth, obviously artificially carved. With a flash of inches of inches of sight, he found an abnormal bulge in the stone wall. He pressed it hard without thinking. He only heard the sound of the mechanism and the mud and stones fell. The stone wall in front of him slowly rotated and opened in the tremor. The long-lost light hit the eyes.

Behind the stone wall is a very spacious natural stone chamber. The walls are uneven, with many strange-shaped stalagmites hanging upside down on the top. The wall is inlaid with an oil lamp, and the wick is like beans, emitting a dim light. On the left side of the cave, a man with disheveled hair was standing. He was ragged and covered with dirt. He was penetrated by an iron chain on his right shoulder and collarbone. The wound was terrifying and terrifying, and white bones were smuggled. The iron chain was about three or four meters long, and the other end was firmly fixed on the stone wall behind him. The man only had one left eye, looking at the suddenly cracked stone wall through the hanging hair, in shock. The frenzy in his eyes had not completely disappeared. The left fist was probably because it was hitting the stone wall, and the back of the fist was cracked and covered with blood.

Hu Qingpeng carefully stepped into the stone room and saw that the interior was quite rough and simple, with only a large stone barely called a stone bed. There were copper bowls and pots placed randomly on the ground, and there was nothing else. Although he didn't know why this man was imprisoned here, he could imagine the hardships and miserables of his daily life, and a look of sympathy appeared on his face.

The man looked like a torch, and he snorted heavily when he saw this, and said in a hoarse voice: "Little baby, who are you? You were not born yet when I was in the world, and you dared to pity me! Even if my situation is a hundred times more miserable than now, I don't need anyone's sympathy!" He thrust his body, and naturally exuded a sense of arrogant look on the heroes. I thought he was once a powerful character in the martial arts world.

Hu Qingpeng was secretly surprised. He could not have imagined that this person was so sensitive that he could see what he thought in his heart. He hurriedly said: "Senior is strong and naturally there is no need for others to pity. I accidentally broke into this place because I avoided others' pursuit. If there is any offense, please forgive me."

The man said wonderingly: "When I saw you don't have an iron axe on your waist, I thought you were a woodcutter in the mountains, and it turned out to be a man from the world! Which sect are you a disciple? I didn't even know about the mechanism, but you discovered it. Your luck is really good!"

Hu Qingpeng said: "I am Hu Qingpeng, a disciple of Hengshan Sword Sect."

The man was shocked and his tone suddenly became cold: "So you are a disciple of the 'Qing' generation! Who is your master?"

Hu Qingpeng said: "The family master's surname is Yin, and he ranks third among the seven swords in Hengshan. I wonder if the seniors have a friendship with the family master?"

The man said oh, his murderous intent was secretly restrained, and his tone eased slightly: "You are Yin... Yin Tianyun's apprentice! Fortunately, it's okay."

Hu Qingpeng was puzzled, what does it mean to be "It's okay, it's okay?" He didn't know that the other party had already called back and forth in front of the gate of hell. He asked, "Can you tell me the senior's name Gao?"

The man said calmly: "Why are I a useless man with a name with a Gao? I have been locked here for more than ten years, sitting facing the wall and wearing a chain. I don't know when and when will I see the light of the sky again? What's the use of asking for a name again? It suddenly made the master's sect shame. But meeting is always fate, so you just call me "Anonymous"!"

Seeing that he refused to reveal his identity, Hu Qingpeng became more and more curious: "Senior Wuming, why are you imprisoned here? Who cruelly locked you?" The iron chain through the clavicle is one of the most cruel tortures in the world. Once the clavicle is penetrated, it is equivalent to a useless person. Even if you have great abilities, you can only obediently follow the other party's mercy. Just look at the wear of the chain on the man's injury, you can guess how deep the pain he suffered. This right arm is probably unable to recover as before.

The Anonymous suddenly laughed wildly at the sky, and when he laughed to the extreme, he was like a night ghost crying. The deep resentment hidden in his voice made Hu Qingpeng also frightened and secretly used his skills to be on guard. The Anonymous' laughter suddenly paused, and a dark red light flashed in his single eyes, and he said coldly: "Do you know where this place is?" Without waiting for Hu Qingpeng to answer, he continued: "This is a secret cave in the forbidden area of ​​the Hengshan Sect, which is where the heads of Hengshan sect practice martial arts in the past dynasties! As a disciple of Hengshan, you should guess who imprisoned me here, right?"

Hu Qingpeng was so shocked that he took three steps back and said in a lost voice: "What?! This is the forbidden area of ​​Hengshan Sect?"

The Anonymous said without hesitation: "That's right! Do you think there are many caves near Hengshan Jianshe Villa?"

Hu Qingpeng's palms were sweating, and his limbs were cold, and murmured: "No wonder there were mechanisms in the cave! If what you said was true, could it be... Could it be that the head of the sect did it?" Although he and his senior brothers had come to this access control site many times, no one dared to go against the command of the sect and sneak out of the designated area to move. Therefore, except for the stone room where martial arts was practiced, most of the places in the secret cave had never been to. The stone room of the Anonymous who was detained may be located in a place he had never been to. Then, the only one who could enter and exit the forbidden area freely and detain criminals here was Chen Tianlei, the head of Hengshan.

The anonymous eyes were blazing fire and said angrily: "Is a despicable villain like Chen Tianlei who deceives his master and destroys his ancestors, and is worthy of being the head of the Hengshan Sect? If it weren't for him secretly shooting a cold arrow behind his back, how could it be his turn to be the head!"

Hu Qingpeng shouted: "Stop it! What are you talking nonsense? If you insult the head of my sect, you are an enemy of all Hengshan disciples!"

The Anonymous was stunned and laughed and said, "You dare to contradict me at such a young age. It seems that you are a bit brave! Hu Qingpeng, do you know how long I have known Chen Tianlei? Let me tell you, it's been thirty years! I must know who he is better than you!" He raised his hand and pushed away the messy hair covering his face, and said calmly: "Look at my face, all thanks to Chen Tianlei! My friendship with him for thirty years ended up like this!"

Under the cover of his messy hair, there was an extremely terrifying and incomplete face. His chin was twisted and deformed, his nose had been flattened, and his right eye was only a black hole, and his face was covered with crisscrossing scars, either black or red, as if they were ugly reptiles, and they could not find half an inch of intact skin. Even the evil ghosts in hell would not be more hideous than him.

Hu Qingpeng gasped and almost vomited on the spot. This act of plucking eyes and cutting his nose and destroying people's appearance was beyond his imagination. The cruelest torture in the world is nothing more than this? No matter how deep the hatred between them is, you might as well take his life. It is definitely not a real man who makes the enemy look like this. He has always respected the head master, but never expected that he was a sarcastic and insidious method! Under Chen Tianlei's majestic and calm appearance, how many secrets are hidden? Hu Qingpeng couldn't help but fight a cold war, and he knew the secret of an elder. Will he cause death in the future?

The anonymous put down his hair again and gritted his teeth and said, "Don't be afraid! There are faults and debts, and Chen Tianlei owes me. One day I will definitely ask him to pay back twice as much!"

Hu Qingpeng couldn't help asking: "Senior, why did my second uncle abuse you like this?"

The Anonymous said coldly: "Why? It's actually very simple, because of ambition, greed and selfishness! But I won't bow my head and give in. His conspiracy will never succeed! You are still young, and you shouldn't know too much about some inside stories. It won't do you any good if you know it."

Hu Qingpeng calmed down and sighed: "Although I don't know the grudge between my senior and my second master, I did this too much! Even if my senior had made mistakes, the imprisonment and the hardships I suffered were enough to offset the guilt. I happened to have an axe here, which may be used to cut off the iron chain and restore my freedom!"

Anonymous shook his head and said, "This iron chain is made of thousands of years of cold iron deep in the South China Sea. Ordinary swords and swords are constantly chopping it. It must be made of magic weapons made of ten thousand years of black iron to cut it off. If it were just an ordinary iron chain, I would have broken it with my skills. Are you still waiting for you to use this broken axe to chop firewood to offer treasures?" As he said that, he glanced at the hole opened on the stone wall, his eyes were both eager and regretful. What a good chance to get out. What a hateful thing is that he could not break free from this damn iron chain!

Hu Qingpeng put the axe back to his waist awkwardly. If what the other party said was true, he might not have cut the iron chain with his Sword of Shocking. He asked tentatively: "Does that senior need me to do?"

The Anonymous said helplessly: "You have low martial arts skills, so you can't have the chance to find the legendary Xuan Iron Divine Soldier. And you are a disciple of Hengshan, and you can't betray the master and ask for help for me. Oh, that's all! I've been in a confinement in the cave for more than ten years, and I can only eat leftovers and rotten rice. I've long forgotten what the taste of meat is. If you really want to make something for me, you can make some barbecue to taste it when you have time, and I'll be grateful!" My throat squirmed, and I was drooling.

Hu Qingpeng was about to agree, but suddenly thought that he was running for life. Whether he could escape the pursuit of the uncles was still unknown. How could he have the energy to meet the requirements? He smiled bitterly: "Senior Wuming, it's not that I don't want to agree to you, but that I can't take care of myself and my life is hanging on a thread. I still don't know if I can see the sun tomorrow! If I hadn't accidentally rushed here and temporarily avoided the other party's search, I might have been in a different place now."

The Anonymous glanced up and down and said in a deep voice: "Who is so brave that he dares to chase and kill Hengshan disciples on Hengshan? Your master, uncles, don't you care about anything?" There was a slight anger in his tone.

Hu Qingpeng hesitated for a while and whispered: "I'm going to hide it from my senior, the one who wants to kill me is my fellow uncle!"

The Anonymous said, "Your uncle is chasing you? This is a strange story in the world! Could it be that you did something ugly that is unforgivable to both humans and gods, so they must kill you?"

The affair between Qin and Liu was really hard to declare. In order to maintain the reputation of this sect, Hu Qingpeng was unwilling to reveal the truth to outsiders and said vaguely: "I have never done anything out of the ordinary! Just because I saw a secret that I shouldn't have seen, my uncle wanted to kill me to silence me. They are searching for my traces in the mountains at this moment. As long as I show up, I will probably not be able to escape and die! Although I am willing to satisfy the wishes of my predecessors, it is difficult to do it!"

The more the Anonymous heard, the more surprised he became, and he said suspiciously: "They? Did you offend more than one uncle?!"

Hu Qingpeng nodded in distress and lamented: "I am helpless now and at stake!"

The Anonymous did not ask who "they" were, and turned against them because of what secret, and asked, "Do you the only one know their secret?"

Hu Qingpeng nodded first, then shook his head and said, "No, I have told my adopted father and mother about this secret. But the uncles thought that I was the only one who knew about it, and they had not doubted my adopted father and mother yet."

The Anonymous smiled and said, "Have you ever thought about using this to threaten them? Since your uncle is willing to kill you in order to keep the secret, you can imagine how important this secret is to them. If you tell your uncle, if you unfortunately die or disappear, your adopted father and mother will announce this secret to the outside world. What will they react?"

Hu Qingpeng's eyes lit up, and obviously understood what he meant. Then he analyzed: "In this way, they not only dare not kill me, but they have to worry that I will kill my life for no reason and expose the secret! Unless they can kill my adoptive father and mother immediately after killing me, they will never dare to act rashly. Well, just tell a little lie, they can be afraid of being afraid of being attacked and have to restrain their murderous intent!" Then they frowned and said: "However, the uncles of the masters will kill me when they see me, and may not give me a chance to speak at all. Although the plan is good, what's the use of?"

The Anonymous lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Hu Qingpeng, you can use ten successful forces to attack me with one move, so let me see what level of martial arts you have practiced?"

Hu Qingpeng scratched his head and said, "What I am best at is swordsmanship, but I don't have a sword in my hand at this moment!"

The Anonymous said solemnly: "Du, there is a sword in your heart, and everything outside your body can be a sword! As long as you understand the essence of the sword, the person is there, the sword is there. Do you not understand this principle?!"

Hu Qingpeng was kicked up. As long as he had a sword in his heart, the form of "sword" could be changed and unconventional. Even if there were grass, trees, bricks and stones in his hand, could he still use sword techniques? He suddenly realized the truth of swordsmanship, but he suddenly realized his understanding of swordsmanship, and his understanding of swordsmanship jumped a little further. A divine light suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he said, "Qingpeng has been taught, thank you for his guidance!" He held an axe in his right hand like a sword, and pointed his left hand at the front of his finger. The sword energy was like a tide, and he rushed towards the Anonymous.

The Anonymous smiled and said, "It's interesting. Come on!"

Hu Qingpeng shouted, "I'm offended!" The iron axe with his right hand flicked, and grabbed the opponent's right side with a quick arrow. The axe blade swept across and hit him quickly. The Anonymous nodded secretly. This guy's martial arts foundation was quite solid. Seeing that the iron axe was slashing, his footsteps were wrong, and his left hand had somehow already trapped Hu Qingpeng's right hand meridian. Before Hu Qingpeng could even see the other person's tricks, his whole body became numb, and he fell into his control, and his heart was secretly filled with great force.

The Anonymous waved gently and pushed Hu Qingpeng out of the box and said, "I have roughly understood your current depth of skills and sword skills. If you meet your uncle in a narrow road, they bully you without a sword in your hand and have shallow skills. You will definitely let go of the attack when you start, and try to kill your life with one move, and you will not be too busy to defend. Therefore, as long as you make a quick move and attack the enemy without any preparation, you will still have a chance to fight. I will pass on your sword technique now, and you will be able to subdue your uncle after practicing it. But there is only one chance. Once you fail, you will not be able to deal with them again!" Hu Qingpeng thanked him very much.

The unknown man accepted his bow frankly and said, "This sword technique is a secret that is not passed down in my door. You must not teach it to a second person after you learn it! You must not use it until the critical moment of life and death! I hope that after you avoid the worries of life, remember to come back from the secret path and bring barbecue for me to eat."
