Chapter 606

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua knew that the rules of Bai Yue Peak's Pill Repository Hall were very strict. He was only acting on a whim and did not want to cause any trouble for others. He shook his head and said, "Since that is the case, there is no need. Senior Brother Lu, you can sit in the room, I will take a stroll in the courtyard."

Lu Chaoxian nodded and said, "Don't go out if you can. There are many people coming to Bai Yue Peak at this time. Although the three hundred of us are not much in Bai Yue Peak, we are still ordinary disciples. If we break the rules for no reason or go to a place where we should not go, then we will be in big trouble!"

Zhang Xiaohua asked curiously, "How big of a trouble?

If we break the rules and receive some punishment, wouldn't it be better if we don't go to Orchid Canyon? "

Lu Chaoxian looked around and whispered, "Junior Brother Ren, don't be careless. You are new here and do not know much. Moreover, you came to our Tian Mu Peak. Tian Mu Peak is a place far away from the Emperor. As long as you do not provoke Head Master Chen, then everything will be fine.

Actually, the rules of our Fragrant Religion are quite strict, especially for the male disciples and the disciples of our ordinary halls. Let's not even talk about making a big mistake that could cost you your life. Even if it's just an ordinary mistake, you'll be whipped for a light punishment, or even have your limbs broken for a heavy punishment. "

"Ah?"

Zhang Xiaohua was shocked. After he came to the Fragrant Religion, he had always felt that the Sect was very harmonious. Although there was some filth between the Senior and Junior Brothers, it was human nature. However, he had never thought that there would be ironclad rules behind the harmony. However, after thinking about it, he understood. He did not know how many people there were in the Fragrant Religion. Just the Tian Mu Peak's Pill Repository Hall alone had thousands of people. If there were no rules, how could there be so many people?

However, he was somewhat puzzled about the different rules between men and women. He asked softly, "Senior Brother Lu, why are the rules so harsh for male disciples?"

Lu Chaoxian smiled and said, "Our Fragrant Religion's leader is a woman, and most of the elders are women. Only those old consecrators are mostly men. Moreover, it is said that the most powerful martial arts in our religion are suitable for women to cultivate.

Therefore, although there are both male and female Inner Sect disciples, most of the female disciples have higher martial arts than the male disciples, and their status is also higher. "

Then, she said sadly, "Sigh ~ I didn't know before, but when I found out about the situation in the sect, I … regret not being born as a girl ~"

Lu Chaoxian's faint tone gave Zhang Xiaohua goosebumps. He didn't dare to stay any longer. He smiled and said, "Senior Martial Brother Lu, don't be sad here. I'll go out for a walk. Yes, I won't go far. Don't worry."

After saying that, he scampered off, fearing that something might go wrong.

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn The courtyard used by the Opening Dan Hall to receive the trial disciples was quite large. It was located in a corner of the mountain and was some distance away from the main building of the Opening Dan Hall. Although the courtyard was large, it was crowded with many people. Zhang Xiaohua saw a lot of disciples strolling around. A few of the disciples who were good at socializing were greeting the people they met. When they saw those who were strong, they went forward and tried to get close to them.

Zhang Xiaohua sighed. It wasn't that these disciples were unscrupulous. After all, they were forced by the situation. If they could find a backer, it would be more of a guarantee.

Tian Mu Peak had its own gambling fight. A few Luohan could be relied on. The other peaks might not have such good conditions. It was good enough to find some disciples who had some martial arts.

Fortunately, Zhang Xiaohua was dressed in ordinary clothes. With his thin stature, how could people who didn't know him think that he had high martial arts?

No one went forward. Only the disciples of Tian Mu Peak's Grass Division saw him and nodded respectfully. They made way for him.

Zhang Xiaohua also smiled and nodded, hurriedly passing by.

Walking out of the courtyard, there was a dense forest. Although it wasn't big, it was enough to block people's eyes and ears. Zhang Xiaohua quickly walked in and made a hand seal, burrowing into the ground.

When he poked his head out, he was halfway up Bai Yue Peak. There were many different kinds of herbs growing here. It was flourishing. It was probably the Grass Division's territory.

Seeing that there was no one else, Zhang Xiaohua used the Imperial Wind Technique and rushed to the top of the mountain.

Although the Imperial Wind Technique consumed a lot of Qi, but when used, it was two times faster than the Levitation Technique. And with Zhang Xiaohua's practice, the speed was still increasing. Moreover, Zhang Xiaohua liked the feeling of floating. Therefore, the current Zhang Xiaohua had long regarded the Imperial Wind Technique as his own Qing Gong.

Not long after, Zhang Xiaohua arrived at the top of Bai Yue Peak.

The peak of the White Yue Peak was similar to the Tian Mu Peak, above the sea of clouds. If one only looked at the sea of clouds, it was not much different from the Tian Mu Peak. However, the peak of the Tian Mu Peak was empty, while the White Yue Peak was filled with small houses.

It wasn't strange that there were houses at the top of the mountain. What was strange was that there were dozens of weapon-wielding disciples standing guard outside. They all looked very alert.

Zhang Xiaohua had only wanted to come up Bai Yue Peak to look at the scenery and cultivate. He didn't expect to see a secret place in Bai Yue Peak. Thinking about how he hadn't seen many disciples along the way, Zhang Xiaohua suddenly understood. Perhaps this was the place that Lu Chaoxian had said "should not be here".

Rubbing his chin in thought, Zhang Xiaohua quietly burrowed into the ground and headed towards the bottom of the house. But before he could get close, he was blocked by a faint layer of restriction. "Could this be an extremely secret place in Bai Yue Peak?

There's actually an Immortal Dao restriction. "Zhang Xiaohua thought to himself.

He had the ability to break the restriction, but he didn't know if breaking the restriction would attract the attention of others. He had only come here out of curiosity, not to cause trouble.

So, Zhang Xiaohua expanded his divine sense again and found that this restriction was only a part of it. Not far away, there was no restriction at all. Estimating that there was only a corner of the house, Zhang Xiaohua circled around the restriction and headed in that direction. When he emerged from the ground, his divine sense swept out and he couldn't help but be shocked by the scene before him.

This was a dark underground room without any light. Zhang Xiaohua had burrowed out from a corner of the room. In his divine sense, the entire room was a large pool, and there seemed to be a large cage in the pool. The pool emitted a foul stench that made Zhang Xiaohua feel nauseous.

"What is this place?" Zhang Xiaohua was not surprised.

Then he took out a Luminous Pearl. The Luminous Pearl's light was limited and could only illuminate a distance of three chi. But just this three chi radius was enough for Zhang Xiaohua to have a general understanding.

In the corner where Zhang Xiaohua was standing, the ground was covered in black stains and seemed to be very greasy. Walking a few steps forward, there was a large metal shelf. There were some strange things on the shelf, like hooks, some metal rods, and some brushes. Beside the metal shelf was a rather large platform, and on it was also extremely dirty. Looking carefully, the stains were actually congealed blood stains!

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaohua could not help but gasp. He seemed to have understood something.

Zhang Xiaohua had gone through a lot of life and death situations when he came out of the Guozhuang House. Although he had been captured by Qin Shiyue of the Tenryū Sect and tortured for a confession, he had been "served" with great self-restraint and skill by pressing his acupoints. He had not been directly tortured.

At this time, Zhang Xiaohua saw everything in front of him. How could he not understand that this was the dungeon of the Tuodan Hall, a place used to imprison prisoners or disciples who had violated the sect rules?

Perhaps this platform full of blood stains was the place where they tortured for a confession. Well, looking up again, there was a vertical shelf not far away. It was as tall as two people. There were some nails on it and some ropes on both sides. It was similar to the shelf where pork was hung in Butcher Liu's house. Needless to say, it was the place where people were hung.

Zhang Xiaohua immediately shuddered. Although he had been wandering in Jianghu for a long time, he had never been to such a gloomy place. How could he not be afraid?

At that moment, Zhang Xiaohua's heart stirred. He formed a seal and the Night Illumination Pearl flew into the air and into the pool in the middle of the room. Just as Zhang Xiaohua expected, there was a person curled up in a cage in the middle of the pool. The person's body was stiff and it was obvious that the person had long since stopped breathing.

Zhang Xiaohua felt a chill. No wonder there was a silhouette in the cage just now. The cage was narrow and small, only the size of a child. At that time, he did not think of anything else. When he saw the torture instruments on the wall, he thought that the cage might be another kind of torture instrument.

When he moved the Luminous Pearl closer to the surface of the water, he saw that in the dark water, there were white skeletons from time to time. He did not know how many lives had been strangled in this small pool. In an instant, Zhang Xiaohua's heart was filled with anger. He knew in his heart that the Fragrant Cult had been peaceful in a remote area and had not encountered any foreign enemies for many years. Who could the life in the pool be?

Except for those who had violated the sect rules, perhaps it was an enemy who had been captured from the outside!

Speaking of enemies, in recent years, it was estimated that it would be the Misty School. When he thought of the Misty School, and then associated it with his Second Brother, and the skeleton in the pool, Zhang Xiaohua could not help but twitch the corner of his eyes.

However, when he took the Luminous Pearl in his hand, he already had a plan in his heart. This was the dungeon of the Misty School, which was the most ordinary hall of the Fragrant Cult. The Misty School was now a hall of the Fragrant Cult and was under the protection of the last disciple of the cult leader. Presumably, there were some necessary interrogations or torture, but it would not be carried out in this hall. The corpse in front of him most likely had nothing to do with the Misty School.

If this person was still breathing, Zhang Xiaohua might have reached out to help and ask for the reason. But this person had been dead for who knows how long, so Zhang Xiaohua did not need to do anything superfluous.

"Sigh." Zhang Xiaohua sighed. He had long lost interest in finding out the truth. Pinching a spell, he directly escaped from the dungeon and returned to the mountain path of the White Mountain Peak.

At the top of the White Mountain Peak, the scenery was unique. The sea of clouds was vast, and the fragrance of medicine was faint. But at this time, Zhang Xiaohua did not have the leisurely mood he had when he first arrived.
