Dream Broken You Pavilion

Iron-faced Yan Luo Miaohe sat on the stool, with a pair of eyes full of hostility on his pitch-black ghost face, exuding a bloodthirsty cold light, like a ghost, making people shudder.Looking coldly at Man Luo kneeling in front of him, it was like looking at a dog in the water.

"Master, it's all because of Man Luo's incompetence. We never expected them to raid Sanqing Mountain at night." Man Luo looked terrified.

"Then where were you then?" Miao He said coldly.

"Munro patrolling the hills."

"Really, you are patrolling? Why didn't you find anyone attacking at night?"

"It's Man Luo who is incompetent. It is true that no one has been found. When I returned to the Taoist temple, our people had already fought with them. There were as many as three to four thousand of them, all dressed in black, without any flags or signs, and it was impossible to confirm who they were. Who did it, from the sneak attack to the battle, it seems to be well-trained, and Man Luo suspects that it is the army of Xiang State."

"Xiang's army attacked Mount Sanqing? Could it be that Xiao Han did it again? Then why didn't you die?" Tie Mian Yan Luo's voice was strong.

Man Luo said: "Man Luo was injured in the scuffle, and then passed out after being hit hard by someone. They probably thought I was dead. When I woke up, there were no thieves on the mountain."

After a terrible silence, Miao He said, "Can you find any clues about the thief?"

"After the thieves withdrew, Man Luo searched for traces everywhere, but they didn't even drop a sword or a dagger. Except for our own people, we didn't see any clues related to the enemy on the mountain. Man Luo didn't dare to lie."

"Are you injured? How is your injury?" The voice muffled behind the mask was as cold as ice, and it was creepy.

Gritting her teeth, Man Luo unbuttoned the cuffs of her sleeves, and slowly pushed the cuffs up, revealing a large piece of tangled gauze. She unwrapped the gauze, and the half-foot-long knife wound on her arm had just begun to scab.

"The injury is not serious, no wonder you can't hold the sun and moon double hooks, and you can't beat others."

As soon as the words fell, following a flash of cold light, the half-foot-long wound on his arm that was healing was cut open by a dagger that suddenly appeared in Miao He's hand, and blood gushed out like a spring...

Man Luo groaned, his face turned pale, his body swayed, and he almost fell to the ground.She stretched out her hand to cover the wound tightly, but blood still overflowed from between her fingers.

Miao He said quietly: "Are you lucky? The mountain leopard died on Fulong Mountain, and two or three hundred of my blood slaves died, and you were the only one who escaped unscathed. This time, thousands of people died. You are alone."

"Master, master, it's Man Luo's fate."

"Really? Well, last time I heard that Ru Xiao took good care of you. Do you want me to call him to teach you how to do things for Master?"

Hearing this, Man Luo's eyes suddenly flashed with fear. He pretended to be terrified and shook his head desperately. He knelt and took two steps, crying and begging:

"Master, don't, Man Luo knew it was wrong, I didn't investigate carefully, and I didn't find the enemy in time, but it's really just that Man Luo was not killed by them Master, Man Luo has no father and no mother, 12 years old I just followed Master. In my eyes, Master, you are like my biological father. Master said that Man Luo will do everything. Over the years, I dare not show any disrespect to Master. Now I save Man Luo’s life. I wish I am so heartbroken for Master, I dare not slack off in the slightest, I beg Master to forgive me...Master..."

She said so on her lips, but she gritted her teeth and thought to herself: If you leave me alone, I will help the young master avenge his father's death.

There was a muffled cold snort behind the mask, "If it wasn't for the death of the mountain leopard, Xiao Han's various strongholds in Xiang country were targeted by that boy again, and there is a shortage of manpower now, otherwise, depending on your two misses, the old man would have already I will send you to the west."

Man Luo cried and kowtowed, "Thank you, Master, for not killing me."

Miao He hummed: "Don't be in a hurry to thank me, the old rules, capital crimes can be avoided, living crimes can't be escaped!"

Hearing this, Manro's head was buzzing, not knowing what kind of punishment he would face this time.

Miao He said in a deep voice, "Come here."

Two soft-armored warriors came in immediately outside the door.

"Hang her up on the tree for me, and follow the old rules. I want to see if you are really lucky. If you don't die, I will forgive you again."

"Yes."

Miao He got up and left without looking at Man Luo again.

Two soft-armored warriors took the rope, tied Manro's feet and ankles together, dragged her upside down to a big tree outside the door, threw the rope up, stretched out their hands and pulled hard, and Manro was hung upside down go up...

Man Luo knew clearly that the "old rules" in Miao He's mouth referred to punishments for subordinates who failed in their actions. One of them was to hang people upside down for seven days and seven nights, and let them be exposed to the wind and rain. Give food and water, and after seven days, whether you live or die depends entirely on your own fate.

……

At this time, Man Luo had completely given up on his thoughts, his fate was not a big deal, and now it was all left to God. The matter has come to this point, but he is just resigned to fate.

Since she was taken away by Miao He, her suffering years have just begun. Over the years, she has worked for the blood slaves, and she has been beaten countless times with knives, axes, axes, and whips. Compared to her, her punishment was the least.

But now that she was being hung upside down like this, it reminded her of the scene when she first arrived in Blood Slavery 19 years ago.

At that time, her name was Fang Xiyue, and the person wearing a grimace mask brought her into a large courtyard, and she saw a boy hanging upside down on a tree in the courtyard like this.The ghost-faced man placed her in a bedroom, told her that from today onwards your name will be "Manro", and then left.

Pushing open the window, the scene in the courtyard can be seen at a glance.The ground in the courtyard is all brick and stone, only a circle of soil under the sturdy century-old tree.The boy hanging upside down on the tree was already dying, and it was scorching hot and the sun was shining. Fortunately, the lush branches and leaves of the old tree brought a little coolness to his weak body.A pair of slender arms hung down feebly, a gust of wind blew by, and the thin body swayed and rotated slightly with the long rope, but the boy remained motionless and lifeless, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Just behind the big tree, a middle-aged man was leaning on the trunk covered in cuts and bruises. There were more than a dozen wounds on his body bleeding. No one healed him. It kept flowing, and the scarlet blood flowed into the soil under the big tree, becoming the nutrient of this century-old tree.

There are not many people coming and going in the courtyard, with different looks and all kinds, but the only thing that is the same is that they have cold faces, silent and silent, like corpses walking silently, lifeless, they walk in front of the boy hanging in the courtyard But, passing through the side of the man who was bleeding profusely, they all acted as if they had never seen him, and their expressions were numb.

Such a scene like purgatory on earth stunned the 12-year-old Man Luo. She had no idea what this place was, and what the ghost-faced man wanted to do when he brought her here. She was terrified and huddled in the corner alone. Panicked, tears streaming down his face.

It was night, and she looked from the window, the lanterns in the courtyard were flickering with misty light, the blood-stained man had disappeared under the tree, only the child was still hanging upside down from the tree.

A girl about her age came to deliver food to her. She asked the girl where the man under the tree went, and the girl replied flatly:

"Blood to death, dragged away."

His expression was still numb, but there was a faint bitterness in his eyes that flashed away.

She asked again why the boy was hanging like this.

The girl said: "I made a mistake and have been hanging for three days."

"When can I let go?" she asked.

The girl said, "There are still four days."

She asked: "How can he eat when he hangs around like this?"

The girl said: "Don't eat, let fate." Then she left.

……

In the dead of night, there was no sound in the yard, and the lights in all the rooms were turned off. She finally couldn't help it anymore, took off her shoes and bare feet, blew out the candle, picked up a bowl of water, and tiptoely opened the door to the old tree in the yard. The tree goes.

The boy's upside-down head was just facing her face, his eyes were closed, his lips were chapped, and he was as quiet as death.

She put her finger under his nose and felt a faint breath. She was overjoyed and hurriedly brought the water bowl close to his lips.The boy slowly opened his eyes, his blood-red eyeballs were protruding, and his long eyelashes trembled slightly. When he saw the upside-down woman's face in front of him clearly, his red eyes suddenly had a faint luster.

She lightly touched his lips with a water bowl, motioning him to drink some water, but he opened his mouth but closed it again, she realized that the boy could not drink water while he was hanging upside down, if he drank too much water, if he choked his nostrils, it would definitely cause serious problems Coughing would be discovered by others instead, so she put the bowl on the ground, tiptoed back to the room to find a spoon, and took the little food left in her own dinner at the same time, fed it to him in mouthfuls, and then Feed him, the boy was very hungry, but he was lying backwards, eating and drinking was extremely difficult, she stuffed him with a mouthful of food, the boy suddenly turned over, firmly grasped the rope binding his ankles with both hands, gasped for a while and swallowed the food Finally, turn your head down and turn down to take another bite of food, and so on three or four times.

The boy looked down at her, with gratitude in his eyes, and struggled to utter two words, "Let's go", with a dry and hoarse voice.

……

For three consecutive days like this, she would often see the boy at night secretly turning up and grabbing the rope like a silkworm chrysalis, and then hanging upside down.And Man Luo would leave half of her dinner every night, and secretly bring water and rice for him to eat at night. On the fourth day, which is the seventh day when the boy was punished, she woke up and ran to the window She looked towards the big tree in the yard, but there was no boy in the tree, and she felt uneasy.

Until the girl came to bring her breakfast, she asked:

"Where did the boy hanging from the tree go?"

The girl said indifferently: "The time for punishment has come, let it go."

Her heart was beating like a drum, and she asked anxiously, "Is it dead?"

The girl said, "Half-Life."

She asked again: "What about others?"

The girl raised her chin towards the neighbor and said, "Go back to the room."

Hearing this, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

A few days later, she became a disciple of Iron Face Yan Luo, and this boy was her fourth senior brother——Ru Xiao. Like her Man Luo, the name "Ru Xiao" was given by the master, and no one knew Ru Xiao's name. Real name.

It was only then that she knew that the blood slaves would punish those who were disobedient and who could not complete the task, and the ways of punishment were numerous, varied and cruel, and most of them would be punished in public, To serve as a warning to others, it makes people shudder, who would dare to have half a heart of disobedience? !

Today, after spending 19 years cautiously walking on eggshells, it is finally her turn to hang upside down under the tree.The tree is not the same tree, and the person is not the same person, but the pain is exactly the same, and the state of mind is absolutely the same.

At this time, she watched the blood on her arm dripping on the ground, feeling dizzy from the world upside down, not knowing whether she would die from blood or her blood vessels would burst before she could starve to death.

She suddenly remembered the "silkworm chrysalis". At that time, she didn't know why the 14-year-old Ru Owl would make such a move, but today, she finally understood, because the little Ru Owl at that time did not have advanced martial arts, and did not have a strong sense of humor. Internal force controls the backflow of blood. If he can't rest with his head up for a while, his blood vessel may burst and die within two days.

Thinking of this, Man Luo closed his eyes, concentrating on luck...
