hell in disguise

A long rope suddenly dropped from the round sky above the head, and the sound of falling in the water woke up the drowsy Mu Shangji.He looked at the hemp rope with a movable knot at the top in a daze, not sure what happened for a while.

"Amu, tie the rope around your waist!"

Mu Shangji raised his head to look at the familiar voice, as if he couldn't believe it, but what he saw was the handsome and young face of Alido who was wearing the body of the general's son.

saved?

It was too late to think that it was this person who caused him to become what he is now, and even bear the infamy of a traitor.Now he only has a kind of numb happiness, he can finally leave here, he finally survived, and did not rot to death in this dark and narrow pit.

He lifted his fingers that had been swollen and stiff from the sewage, and clumsily wrapped the rope around his waist and tightened it.He wanted to stand up, but the pain in his right leg caused him to fall back into the water in embarrassment.

Alido could vaguely see the outline of Mu Shangji through the skylight, and his brows were tightly wrinkled together.Something was wrong, Mu Shangji's movements were too slow, and his figure was extremely unstable.

Did they not only imprison him in a water dungeon, but tortured him?A strange anger overflowed in his chest.But he didn't say much, just shouted to Mu Shangji, "Don't rush, take your time. Pull the rope once it's fastened."

Mu Shangji moved his stiff fingers slowly, finally confirmed that it was fastened, and pulled the rope.Alido pulled him up little by little, watching the black figure gradually being illuminated by the sun.He stretched out his hand to hook Mu Shangji's waist, and hugged him out.Mu Shangji was so light that one wondered if it was really the weight of a grown man, and his body was filled with a rotten smell.His robe had lost its original color for a long time, it was dyed a gray-black color by the mud, and his hair was disheveled and tangled.He was so thin that his cheeks were sunken, and his joints protruded from under the thin skin. However, the most terrifying thing was his right calf. There was a scratch on it that had been infected by soaking in sewage for a long time and turned into some kind of scar. A horrible black purple with a sickening smell.Just by looking at it, even if you are not a doctor, you will know that this leg may not be able to keep.

Mu Shangji held on to Alido's lapel as if grabbing a life-saving straw, probably because he was afraid that someone would throw him into the dark crypt again.I don't know if it was because his whole body was soaked, but he was trembling, his teeth were chattering, and his breathing was short of breath, like leaves falling in the wind.He didn't look neat and dignified at all when he was the head of the North Water Altar of the Medical Immortal School.

Alido hugged him tightly, unable to speak for a while.

He is the most eloquent, but sometimes he is speechless.

He has seen a lot of tragedies in hell, and there are many people who were tortured to death by his own hands, and it is commonplace for him.But for some reason, when he saw Mu Shangji like this, he felt as if his heart had been pressed by a ball of sticky mud, and his throat seemed to have been stuffed with a wooden plug, with dull pain and suffocation.Now Mu Shangji has little use value for him. If he used his past behavior style, he would probably be allowed to die here.But this time, when he was imprisoned in hell by Asu Yun, Mu Shangji's last sad and pitiful face kept appearing repeatedly in his mind.

He thought that Shura named Vijara, who had a relationship with Mu Shangji, would do something to help him, but in the end he found out that Mu Shangji was imprisoned in a water prison.He wished he could rush to Shura Dao and beat up that useless guy, but after thinking about it carefully, he seemed to have no qualifications.

He grabbed the collar of the human jailer who came with him and was in charge of guarding Mu Shangji, and asked viciously, "What happened to his leg?! Did you do it?"

The man was startled, and knew that this man was one of the newly appointed Generals of the Ghost Division, so he didn't dare to be negligent, and replied tremblingly, "The injury was caused by him accidentally..."

Alido kicked the man over, and said angrily, "Who is the best doctor in your Immortal Medical Sect who stays here? Go and find me!" Shang Ji hugged her and left the cold forest.

Here, the stronghold of the Immortal Medicine Sect is hidden on an unnamed island close to the mainland.After the fall of Penglai Island, quite a few disciples of the Immortal Medicine Sect retreated here.Although the island is not as big as the previous Penglai Island, a lot of underground palaces and secret rooms have been dug out in the middle, so it can still accommodate a lot of people.

Bo Xun ordered him to accompany him this time, and the first stop was to stay here, and asked him to bring Mu Shangji out.At the same time, Bo Xun issued a secret order to all the disciples of the Immortal Medicine School who were practicing medicine as ordinary doctors, ordering them to inquire about some news for him.No one knew how Bo Xun sent the secret order, because Alido had received a tip and had never seen anyone leave the nameless island.

Holding Mu Shangji in his arms, he rushed towards the courtyard where he stayed, and shouted to his servants to boil hot water.He wrapped all the quilts on the bed around Mu Shangji's body, and then hugged him tightly through the quilt.Mu Shangji was still trembling, his face was pale, as if he hadn't recovered yet.

After being isolated from the world for too long, there was no sound in the dark cave, and no one spoke to Mu Shangji.He could only watch himself rot day after day in extreme hunger, cold and humidity.He thought he would never get out again.

When the hot water was ready, Alido carefully took off Mu Shangji's muddy clothes.During the process, Mu Shangji hardly struggled and was at the mercy of others, but after taking off his clothes, he curled up tightly and wrapped his shoulders around his shoulders.He was too thin to be human, and his ribs were so sharp that they seemed to be poking out of the skin.Alido picked him up and gently and slowly put him into the steaming tub.Only then did Mu Shangji struggle, as if he was very resistant to the water.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" Alido held him in his arms with absolute overwhelming force, but comforted him softly, "Don't be afraid, it's very warm."

After the wound on his right leg was immersed in hot water, Mu Shangji gasped in pain, bit his lips tightly and let out a muffled groan.Alido only felt a slight tremor in his heart, and actually felt that his hands seemed to be trembling a little too.He slowed down, and waited until Mu Shangji got used to the heat of the water, then slowly put him in the water, felt his muscles relax, and let go of his hand.

Alido, who has always been the third prince of Abi Hell, has never served anyone before. This is the first time that even he himself is surprised by his familiarity.He carefully wiped off the mud and water stains on Mu Shangji's pale skin with a towel, pinched the saponins with his fingers, and patiently cleaned up the sticky messy hair.He remembered that Mu Shangji's original hair was black and shiny, as smooth as silk satin, and when it fell down, it added a touch of charm to his ordinary face.The more I think about it, the more distressed I feel.

Distressed...he didn't even know how to name the emotion.

The doctor was quickly found, and Alido dried Mu Shangji's body, brushed his long hair carefully, and found thick clothes to wrap him up.Originally wanted to carry him to the bedroom to be treated by the doctor, but Mu Shangji silently and resolutely refused, just supported him, endured the severe pain, and limped over.

Alido didn't say much, but he vaguely felt that Mu Shangji's previous cooperation was only due to the instinctive fear and dependence after leaving the nightmare. Now that he has gradually calmed down, he is naturally unwilling to make more fools.The doctor, who was about 25 or [-] years old, seemed to know Mu Shangji. Seeing that he was inconvenient to walk, he quickly came up to help him, and his attitude was quite respectful, but when he saw Mu Shangji's calf, his face changed slightly.

Mu Shangji said in a weak but surprisingly calm voice, "You don't need to look at it, I know it myself. I can't keep this leg. You go and get ready. The wound has festered and needs to be dealt with as soon as possible."

Alido's complexion changed drastically, "Wait a minute, isn't there anyone who can do it?"

Mu Shangji said, "If Xianjun and Bai Lu'en are not here on this island, I'm afraid no one is older than me. I know my own situation."

"Perhaps God can do it. He has saved Gannamara, so he should be able to save you." Alido stood up and said, "I'll ask him."

Mu Shangji sighed and said, "Even if it is Shangshen, his divine power can only bless the body that has not yet died. My leg has begun to rot. I used some of the last elixir on my body and acupuncture points." The blood circulation is blocked, otherwise the infection may have spread to the whole body. What's more, it is really unnecessary to alarm God because of such a trivial matter."

His voice was indifferent, as if the leg wasn't his own.

Alido frowned slightly, and whispered, "Are you sure?"

Mu Shangji slowly closed his eyes, "I'm fine, but I still need to borrow your place. Please. You don't want to see this process."

Alido had imagined that when he saw Mu Shangji again, whether the other party would hate him, would be hysterical, and would want to kill him.But what he is facing now is an attitude that makes him feel stagnant the most.

Polite, cold and alienated, like a handful of dead ashes.

Alito left.For the first time in his life, he wanted to escape.For the first time in my life, I felt something like regret and guilt.

He hated the feeling of being out of control, it wasn't something a ghost should feel.He has obviously been in the world for too long and has been infected by human habits.

Alido didn't go very far, he waited on the veranda outside the door, feeling restless and restless.After waiting for a long time, I vaguely heard a muffled hum in the room, and there was a stench in the air, similar to the smell of a carrion being soaked in water.The waiters guarding the yard felt nauseated but didn't dare to show it. They came and went quickly, bringing in basins of clean water.

Several hours later, the doctor finally came out of the room, sweating profusely, and let out a long breath.Seeing this, Alido stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I used some anesthetics, and he is not fully awake yet. The bleeding has stopped, and the wound needs to be changed three times a day. The diet should be light, and fish and shrimp should be avoided."

Alido walked lightly into the house, and the rancid smell became stronger.The amputated right leg was placed in a tub and covered with a white cloth, only large blackened bloodstains could be seen.Mu Shangji lay on the bed, looking thinner and paler, with sunken cheeks.He was covered with a thick quilt, and he couldn't see what was missing for a while.

"Brother is loyal to the Immortal Medicine School. I don't believe he will betray you. I heard...he is in collusion with you? Why are you fine? But he has become like this?" The young doctor was behind him Asked coldly, with some suspicion and reprimand in his voice.

Alido said, "If I hadn't been useful to Asuyun, I'm afraid I would have been eliminated long ago. You should think clearly whether your allegiance is to Bo Xun or Asu Yun. We just saved Anti Bo Xun The most important person in God's eyes, what is the crime?" Alido turned around and glanced at him.

He rescued Qianna, which caused a rift between Bo Xun and Asu Yun, and at the same time gained part of Bo Xun's trust, and made Bo Xun hate Lihentian even more.Killing three birds with one stone, he originally thought it would be most cost-effective to sacrifice a pawn like Mu Shangji.But in the end, he couldn't let it go.

But the doctor became more and more angry, "Even so, why didn't you protect him? Why did you come here now?"

"I was imprisoned in hell by Asuyun, and I don't know where God Bo Xun is. If self-protection is a problem, how can I go to the human world to save him?"

"Senior brother has a pure heart. Although he was highly valued by the immortal king after returning from Asura Dao, he has become more silent and self-closing. He has devoted himself to studying medicine for many years and rarely shows up. He is willing to disobey the order of the immortal king to help you... Explanation He takes you very seriously, and is even willing to risk his life. You'd better not continue to play any tricks, otherwise I will definitely not let you go!"

Hearing such a warning, Alido only took a few more glances at the young doctor.The other party has a handsome face, but there is a bit more vigor in the eyebrows and eyes, and the waist is as straight as a pine.Because he should be a staunch and loyal character.

"You are his younger brother? What's your name?" Arido's mouth curled into a slightly flirtatious smile.

"Tong Xiu." The young man said solemnly, "I plan to transfer him to my place so that he can be taken care of conveniently."

Alido's smile didn't fade, but he said bluntly, "No."

Tong Xiu was slightly annoyed, "Why not?"

"Because I don't want to." Alido said in a slow tone while approaching him, "It's been several hours and it's getting late, why don't you ask Doctor Tong to go back to rest early. I will take good care of him. "

"What if he is willing to come with me?" Tong Xiu did not back down.

Alido tilted his head slightly and looked at him, but his smile was a little more dangerous, and he raised his eyebrows and asked, "So what?"

Tong Xiu couldn't believe this person... This ghost is so brazen, it turns out that all the evil ghosts in hell are unreasonable.He knew that he was just an ordinary disciple of Immortal Medicine Sect, but this person was the General of the Ghost Department, so he had no room to argue with him.Seeing that he took such good care of Mu Shangji before, he probably wouldn't neglect senior brother, why not just let it go and talk about it tomorrow.

After Tong Xiu was half-coerced by him to leave reluctantly, Alido returned to the bedroom, only to find that Mu Shangji had opened his eyes.

"Are you awake?" Alido hurried forward and sat down on the edge of the bed, "Does it hurt?"

It hurts, of course it hurts.The effectiveness of the anesthetic was slowly fading, and the heart-piercing pain spread from the thigh all the way.But the pain is not the worst.His right leg was amputated from the knee up, leaving only a thigh.He spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

The pain made his mind go blank, and he didn't even have the strength to let him go.

"Amu, are you hungry?" Alido felt that he had never spoken in such a soft voice, so soft that other evil spirits would find it ridiculous.

Mu Shangji opened his dry and white lips and asked softly, "What use am I to you?"

Alido was taken aback, unable to respond to his question for a moment.

"You don't have to make yourself look like this." Mu Shangji actually laughed, a little pale, "Now your status is higher than mine, and I will naturally obey your orders. There is no need to continue this Game on."

Alido didn't expect that being rejected could be so uncomfortable, like being slapped on the face.But he still laughed, "I just asked you if you were hungry, why did you pull out so much?"

"What's the point of pretending to be stupid now. Alido, I don't hate you. I'm stupid and too trusting of others. This is my retribution." After Mu Shangji finished speaking, he closed his eyes and never I stopped talking.

Only then did Alido know, compared to this, how much he wished that Mu Shangji could point at his nose and scold him, saying that he hated him.
