Legend of the Sword Immortal

chapter19

Yun Cong knew that he was going to die, so he was silent. Suddenly, he heard someone pleading for him, and he began to hope again. He cried and begged, "My family is in Guiyang, and I am the only son of the ninth room. This time I was mistakenly admitted to the Zen hall, and it was not my fault. I hope that the master will be merciful and spare my life. If you are afraid that I will reveal the secret, please cut off my tongue and fingers. I can't write or speak when I go back, and I can't ruin the master's work. I just want to return to my hometown so that I can continue to sell cigarettes to my ninth room. That's enough for me. I hope the master and the two sisters will show mercy." He kept begging like this for a long time. The vicious monk was also soft-hearted because of killing people, and he couldn't resist the persuasion of the two beloved women, so he said, "The master thinks of your pleading, and for the sake of my two sweethearts, I will let you live for three more days." He asked the woman to call the receptionist and bring the three kinds of scriptures. The woman agreed and left. After a while, the receptionist Yili took out a red plate with three things on it: a small red paper package; a rope, coiled into a knot; and a steel knife. Yun Cong didn't know what it was for, but he knew that he would die in three days, so he kept begging. The vicious monk ignored him and said, "Put this kid in the stone prison, hand him the three plates of law books, and give him a dozen steamed buns, so that he can live for three more days. If he wants to keep his body intact, he can do it himself. On the morning of the fourth day, you go to the prison, and if he is not dead, use this steel knife to take his head and tell him." Yili agreed, then walked to the wooden stake and untied Yun Cong. Yun Cong was tied up for half a day, and his whole body was numb from the pain. After a great shock, he was extremely exhausted, and fainted on the ground just after the rope was untied. Yi said, "You children of rich families, how good it is to enjoy the comfort at home, why do you come out to seek death? I am now following the order of my master to put you in the stone prison. I should tie you up, but since you are a little kid, I think you can't escape. My master is merciful to you and will not tie you up. Come with me." Yun Cong was in pain all over at this time, unable to move, but dared not to go. Helplessly, he stood up and reluctantly followed Yi around the hall, and walked through two courtyards. He saw another hall, and there was a stone wall next to the hall, about three feet high. Yi pushed a stone in front of the stone wall, and saw that the stone wall slowly moved, revealing a cave. Yun Cong knew that this was the place where he would be buried, and he could not help but kneel down with Yi, begging him to save him, crying and complaining about his family situation. Seeing that he was pitiful, Yi Yi also felt pity for him and said, "When you first entered the temple, we got along very well. I loved you and wanted to save your life. But now that the matter has become serious, I can't make the decision. Besides, my master has very strict temple rules and will not sacrifice his feelings. I really can't help you. But we are destined to be together. Except for letting you go, I can do other things that I can do, or I can help you. Please finish your words quickly and go to jail." Yun Cong knew that he was telling the truth and that he had no chance of survival, so he begged him not to stop eating during these three days so that he could die of fullness. Yi Yi agreed. He handed the three scriptures to Yun Cong and said to him, "This small package contains poison. If you want to die quickly, this is the best. I will ask someone to send you three days of food when I get back." After that, he pushed Yun Cong into the cave and turned away.

Yun Cong arrived at the cave and saw that it was gloomy. The stone wall outside had been sealed, and there was no light inside. He was born in a wealthy family, so he had never suffered such pain. Thinking back, he could see the tragic death of Zhu Yi. He also remembered that he could only live for three days. His parents, uncles, and nine families were all dependent on him. Seeing that they died tragically without any reason, he was even more heartbroken. At this time, someone had already delivered three days of food for him, a large gourd of water and a large plate of steamed buns. He groped in the dark and found that there were probably a few bowls of dishes. This was originally Zhu Yi's good intention. Yun Cong had no intention of eating, but just cried bitterly. No matter how hard you cry, no one will come to care about you in this place where no one can help you. Yun Cong went to the temple after breakfast, and it was already the time of Youpai. He had suffered a lot of hardships and cried for half a day. He was so tired that he fell asleep. When he woke up, he was sleeping under the cold stone wall. He was cold, hungry and sad. He took a steamed bun and ate two bites. Then he thought of his parents, uncles and the danger in front of him. He couldn't help crying again. It was like the monkey crying in Wuxia. There was no such sorrow.

He cried like this when he was tired and slept. He cried when he woke up. Sometimes he ate something randomly. It was dark in the cave. He couldn't tell day from night. He didn't know how many days had passed. In fact, Yuncong was mentally disturbed. It was just the first night. Whenever a person is in the dark, he can exercise his eyesight the best. Yuncong had been trapped in the cave for a day and a night, so he could see things a little. While crying, he suddenly saw something shining beside him. He picked it up casually. It turned out to be a steel knife from the three-part code of the evil monk. He almost cut his hand when he took it. He couldn't help but think of his life at stake, and he cried even more sadly. While he was in misery, a breeze suddenly blew and a few drops of rain fell on his face. Yun Cong was confused and depressed, but the cool breeze and drizzle immediately sobered him up. There was no sunlight in this cave, so where did the rain come from? He suddenly began to doubt. Suddenly, a bright light flashed, illuminating the cave. Then there was a rumbling sound. He looked up and saw a round hole about a foot in size on the top of the cave. When he first entered the cave, he was angry and depressed, so he didn't notice it because it was very dark. Now it was raining and lightning outside, so he found it and couldn't help but think of escaping. He stood up and felt around, and found that there was no way out of the cave because bricks and stones were piled up on all sides. Although there was a small hole on the top, it was too high from the ground and it was impossible to get up. There was only a rope and a steel knife beside him, and no other tools he could use. Knowing that the crisis was imminent and he couldn't wait any longer, he quickly calmed his mind, explained his worries, and carefully thought of a way to escape. Later, he decided to escape from the cave on the top. He tied the rope to the middle of the steel knife, intending to throw it up and hang it on the cave entrance so that he could climb up. Who would have thought that after spending a lot of time and effort, he still couldn't do it. It turned out that the cave was more than 30 meters above the ground, and the rope was only 20 meters long. Not to mention that he couldn't throw it up, even if he was lucky enough to hang it, he couldn't jump up to reach the rope. A way to survive, but it was gone.
