After the water torture, Taoist Jiang was like a frightened bird. He kept shouting, "I'll talk, I'll talk." Wang Chen never expected that an official Taoist of the Shangqing Palace, a Taoist who had supernatural power, could be so weak. He could even go through the torture several times for those injured outer disciples! He could only sigh with emotion. It seemed that practicing martial arts could really strengthen one's willpower.
He had to kindly comfort him, "Abbot Jiang, you can think about it now and sort out your memory. But the water torture … we still have to go through it. It will be over soon!"
Wang Chen moved a chair and a stool that had been simply modified. A wooden stake was installed vertically on the other end of the stool. This was the traditional culture that Wang Chen learned from movies and TV shows that reflected the cruelty of the old society — it was called the Tiger Stool. In the early years of the Party's development, it was quite famous. The so-called people made of special materials came from it.
Wang Chen didn't believe that the religious people and landlords in the old society could be more powerful than the members of a certain party.
When Taoist Jiang was tied to the stool, he probably hadn't seen such a traditional culture, so he could still ask Wang Chen, "What on earth do you want to ask … You don't want to ask anything. You can't do this! You can't do this … You lunatic! Ah! "
Wang Chen began to add bricks under Taoist Jiang's heel. Hearing Taoist Jiang's screams, Wang Chen took out those balls and put them on him under Taoist Jiang's terrified eyes. Then, he comforted him with kind words, "This is to prevent you from biting your tongue. Don't worry, our punishment won't threaten your life. More than anyone else, we want you to live a healthy life … The punishment is to make you suffer, not to torture you … Do you understand?"
Daoist Jiang looked at him in horror. Wang Chen pressed Jiang Taichong's head and sighed with emotion, "Long live your understanding … I purposely drilled a few holes in your mouth not to make you drool … I'm not that disgusting. I did it so that when the water is flushed, it can be poured in. So, this is not an insult to your character. I absolutely respect … understand other people's character. "
Daoist Jiang's face was covered with saliva and snot. He widened his eyes and looked at him in horror.
Wang Chen waited for Division Master Gong to add a few more bricks. When he saw Division Master Gong nod at him, Wang Chen knew this was the limit of the Tiger Stool. If it was raised any higher, it would hurt Taoist Jiang's body. He waited quietly for a while. To Taoist Jiang, this period of time was as long as a century. Then … Wang Chen took out a soft cotton cloth used to wipe sweat and gently covered Taoist Jiang's face.
He picked up the kettle and shook the ice inside. Then … he began to pour water into the kettle unhurriedly.
Daoist Jiang's body began to struggle violently again …
After a long time of endless pain, Taoist Jiang was finally dragged to a modified wooden armchair. Wang Chen sat opposite him and said with a gentle smile, "Now, let's start with the questions … Did you report to the Qing Palace that there are Taoists from Lower Maoshan hiding in the Righteous Manor?"
Daoist Jiang, who was sitting across from him, was trembling all over as he answered, "Yes!"
"Please tell me again about the conversation you had with the little Taoist from the Righteous Manor, who is also Taoist Shi's little disciple!"
Daoist Jiang had been very obedient under Wang Chen's training in the first few rounds. In the last round of torture, Wang Chen even made him memorize the outline of the conversation, including how to state it, what to say, and what grammar to use. He had already memorized all of it. Therefore, Daoist Jiang answered very obediently, "That day, on the 11th day of the ninth month of the Gui Chou year, it was at noon, no, a quarter before noon …"
"According to Daoist Jiang's confession, he reported this matter to the Qing Palace. The Golden Court Elixir Imperial Talisman of the Qing Dynasty is a secret technique of the Qing Palace. Its advantage is that it is cheap and easy to use. Although the Heavenly Hearing and Earthly Vision Talisman can transmit sound and even images, it is a divine talisman that can only be refined by Taoists in the Taoist Realm. However, the Golden Court Elixir Imperial Talisman of the Qing Palace can be refined by Taoists, but it can only transmit about 50 characters."
"According to Daoist Jiang's confession, the full text is as follows …"
The news sent by Daoist Jiang had already been read by Daoist Palace, which made him heave a sigh of relief. Although the higher-ups had guessed the identity of the Taoists from Mao Mountain, the information about the ancestral treasure revealed by his little disciple was vague and unclear. Perhaps Daoist Jiang himself did not dare to guess that the magic weapon in the hands of the two orphans in the Righteous Manor was the most precious treasure of Lower Maoshan, the Ancestral Robe of Duke Jiu, an ancient magic weapon.
Not only did Wang Chen get the reply from the Qing Palace through torture, but he also made Daoist Jiang confess a lot of information about the Qing Palace and asked him to guess who was coming. In the end, the information obtained was relatively complete.
"There are only five people from the Qing Palace this time. The lowest rank is Daoist Jiang, who is led by a Daoist. But the identities of the four Daoists are unknown. But the Qing Palace has told us that the Daoist is a Daoist of the Qing Palace with the surname" Yun ", Daoist Jiang's martial uncle. His Daoist name is Yunlou, and his secular surname is Guo … Guo Yunlou. His date of birth is unknown. He joined the Qing Palace in the third year of the Wanli calendar. He is good at talisman magic and martial arts. When he was young, he practiced the Southern Boxing. Later, his Taoist magic manifested, and he mastered the Northern True Thunder Dragon-chopping Hand. He is the best among the Daoists in the Qing Palace."
When he heard this, Daoist Palace was on the verge of collapsing. He said in a daze, "They actually sent Daoists here? They actually sent Daoists here? "
"We're just a threat. Why would they do this? How vicious is the Qing Palace of Mao Mountain? "
Almost in despair, Daoist Palace was about to rush forward and kill Daoist Jiang with his palm. But Wang Chen stopped him. "Stop panicking. You're at a loss as soon as you hear the identity of the enemy? Where is your sense of propriety? If it's a Daoist who comes, are you going to surrender yourself? "
Instinctively, Daoist Palace still obeyed the order of Wang Chen, the 'Young Patriarch'. He was stunned and stood there in a daze. Wang Chen continued, "Guo Yunlou is a Daoist with a high status in the Qing Palace. This time, he's here to wipe out the 'remnants' of Mao Mountain. It's just along the way. Although the ancestral court of Mao Mountain is in Mao Mountain, you guys have a grudge against the Qing Palace and set up a sect in Mount Luofu in Guangdong Province. Later, after the Qing Palace plotted against you guys, they also took over Mount Luofu. This time, the Quanzhen Sect in the north is going to invade the south. In order to protect their escape route, the Qing Palace sent Guo Yunlou south to Mount Luofu to officially open the gate of Mao Mountain in South East."
"So … we're actually so unlucky? Does the heavens want me to leave Mao Mountain? "Daoist Palace said in grief and indignation.
"There are still five days before Guo Yunlou and the others come here. We still have a way out!" Before Wang Chen could finish, Daoist Palace shook his head and said, "There's no way out, Patriarch! … If a Daoist comes here, we won't be able to hide the fact that we've buried the treasure of our Patriarch. A Daoist knows life and death, observes the destiny of heaven, observes the minutest details, and calculates everything. The treasure of our Patriarch … is gone! "
"Even if I have to die here, I can't sit back and watch the treasure of our Patriarch fall into the hands of others!" Daoist Palace said mournfully.
"If the treasure is with us, we'll live. If the treasure is lost … we'll die!" Daoist Palace said resolutely.
