Chapter 14: Secrets deep in the prison

Cell No. 9!

"How's your practice of the fake death skill I asked you to do?" Chen Changsheng looked at the demon monk and asked.

"Senior's feigned death skill is truly magical. It can actually collect the entire body's breath, and even the pulse stops beating, but you won't really die!" The evil monk exclaimed.

"It seems that you have mastered it... Do you want to go out?" Chen Changsheng pondered.

"Senior, are you going to rescue me?" the evil monk asked in surprise.

"It's not that I want to rescue you, but someone wants to kill you, and I'm just taking advantage of the situation!" Chen Changsheng said.

"You want to kill me?" the evil monk asked in shock.

"It's the King of Qi who wants to kill you... Someone found me..."

"That's roughly what happened. I think the reason why King Qi has your eye on it is most likely because of the Zhiyang Mountain bandits..." Chen Changsheng explained.

"So, what you mean, senior, is that...the people on Zhiyang Mountain are not actually bandits, but an army...and they are hidden by the King of Qi...The King of Qi is hiding his army on Zhiyang Mountain, could it be that he is planning a rebellion?" The evil monk said in shock.

"Treason... hehe, not necessarily. It depends on whether the old emperor wants to pass the throne to him. If he passes it directly to him, why would he commit treason? But if the throne goes to the prince, then it's hard to say..." Chen Changsheng laughed.

"The King of Qi is really bold. He must have thought that I discovered the secret of Zhiyang Mountain, so he wanted to kill me to silence me... Perhaps, those mysterious masters are not from the Qingzhou Mu, but sent by the King of Qi..." The evil monk said suddenly.

"It's possible... But what does the court's affairs have to do with you and me?"

"Evil monk, I risked my life to save you from the Heavenly Prison. From now on, you are a dead man... Do you understand?" Chen Changsheng looked at the evil monk with a scrutinizing look.

"I understand that if I were to come back to life, it would definitely cause some trouble to you, senior!" the evil monk said respectfully.

"I'm glad you understand. I hate trouble, so I'm just an ordinary jailer in this prison..." Chen Changsheng said.

If not, this evil monk was killing innocent people indiscriminately, Chen Changsheng would not have gone to so much trouble to rescue him. Wouldn't it have been better to just slaughter him like a fat pig?

"I thank you for your kindness, senior. I wonder if you have any instructions after I leave. I will definitely do it for you!" said the evil monk, prostrating himself on the ground.

"Entrustment... If you say so, then there is indeed some..." Chen Changsheng said.

He suddenly had an idea...

Do we need to fulfill the wishes of the deceased ourselves?

If I instruct others to complete the task, will I get a reward?

During his three years as a jailer, Chen Changsheng collected corpses for many people and naturally accumulated many last wishes.

If it was near the capital, Chen Changsheng would naturally do his best to complete it if he had time, but for those who were farther away, he really couldn't help...

"Some? Please tell me, senior. I will try my best!" said the evil monk respectfully.

However, Chen Changsheng's next words made the demon monk a little confused...

What Chen Changsheng asked him to do was not a big deal, it was even very trivial, even related to family matters, and the locations were all over the Great Zhou. It was very puzzling to him that the senior was far away in the capital, so how could he know about things that were so far away from him?

For example, go to Tai County, Qingzhou, and buy 20 acres of fertile land for a farmer!

For example, going to Feng County, Yuzhou, to treat the illness of a young lady from a wealthy family, or even urging a child from a certain family to take the imperial examination, etc., these were all strange things in the eyes of the evil monk...

"Well, that's probably what I want you to do..."

"I also know that these things may not be difficult to do, but they are very trivial, especially since the locations are spread all over the Great Zhou, which is very troublesome!"

"So, I don't ask you to do it completely. If you can do half of it, it will be considered as repaying me for saving your life!" Chen Changsheng said calmly.

In his opinion, some of the wishes are still unreliable!

For example, an inspector who died in the prison had a last wish for his son to become the top scholar...

Chen Changsheng asked himself, this thing might be even more difficult to accomplish than killing the Emperor of the Great Zhou...

"Yes, I will do my best!" said the evil monk.

"Okay, you can fake your death now!" Chen Changsheng said.

"Thank you, Senior!"

The demon monk nodded at Chen Changsheng, then activated his fake death technique. After a short while, he froze on the spot, unable to even sense his breathing or heartbeat...

Even if we use modern medicine to prove it, I'm afraid the only result would be a dead person...

Half an hour later, the demon monk was dragged out of the sky-shaped prison. As for where he would be thrown next, or even whether his fake death would be dismembered and turned into real death, it all depended on his own luck...

"Old Chen, I was right about you. You've done a great job, and the boss is very pleased. This little treat is a reward for you!"

After a while, Gu Yue appeared in front of Chen Changsheng and took out a silver ingot...

"Fifty taels...you're really generous!" Chen Changsheng pretended to be surprised.

In fact, he didn't even care about this little bit of money...

After all, all of his wealthy business friends in Xicheng District are very generous. With his face, he can easily borrow hundreds of taels of silver, and he doesn’t have to pay it back at all!

If you have a big face, you can be willful!

"Of course. There are many benefits to working for that person..."

"Oh, by the way, how is the person inside the sky-shaped prison now?" Gu Yue asked.

"That guy is very strange. He doesn't eat anything I prepare for him. It seems that he only likes to eat mice, cockroaches and other things..." Chen Changsheng said.

"There are people like this? How strange!" Gu Yue laughed.

"It's quite strange... Captain Gu, you see, we are now grasshoppers on the same rope. Can you tell me the origin of that weirdo? Why does King Qi keep staring at him?" Chen Changsheng asked curiously.

"Origin? I don't know his origins. I only know that more than 20 years ago, Emperor Xizong personally imprisoned him here and forbade him to starve to death..."

"Over the past decade or so, Emperor Xizong often came here to visit him. As for what they talked about... no one dared to eavesdrop..."

"In the past ten years or so, Emperor Xizong has rarely come to the Heavenly Prison!" Gu Yue said.

"What? Emperor Xizong detained him personally? It seems that there are many secrets in this..." Chen Changsheng said in surprise.

"That's natural. However, Old Chen, the more you know... the faster you die. I hope you can understand this truth. Don't ask about everything in the future. Knowing too much... is not good for you!" Gu Yue said lightly.

"I understand, I understand... It's about this position. Captain Gu, please help me. I don't want to die in this damn place!"

Chen Changsheng's mind was as clear as a mirror. It was impossible for Gu Yue to transfer him away, and he didn't have the ability to do so. He said this just to reassure the other party!

After all, the jailers of Tianzi-sized prisons are basically on the death list, and no one wants to stay here!

"We can't be impatient about this matter... You know, we have Commander Yan putting pressure on us, so it will take time!" Gu Yue chuckled.

Boy, you...

Still want to leave here?

Dream about your grand life, or you will die here!

After Gu Yue left, the Tianzi-shaped prison became empty again. Even the demon monk who was the only one who could talk to him was gone...

However, Chen Changsheng did not feel lonely. After refining the Inner Breath Pill that was delivered to his door yesterday, he is now not too far away from the middle stage of the Innate Realm, and the progress of his Immortal Golden Body is also very gratifying.

Now, even without using his internal energy, he is strong enough to fight against a third-grade warrior with just his physical strength!

Moreover, he was becoming more and more interested in the secrets hidden by the strange man in the deepest part of the V-shaped prison...

After all, this is something even Emperor Xizong wants to know!

Could it be related to the breakthrough to Grandmaster level?

In the current Great Zhou, including the surrounding countries, there is almost no shortage of Xiantian Grandmasters, but Grand Grandmasters are rare. It is hard to say whether there is a Grand Grandmaster in the entire Great Zhou...
