Chapter 781.1: Little Monster and Old Monster
Chapter 781.1 [Little Monster and Old Monster]
Enduring the howling winds and torrential rain, they finally reached the end of Rain Valley.
Here, there was a particularly strange looking rain shelter. Among the countless buildings of the Heaven Realm, Wei Shu had never seen a building of this form, it was open on all sides with only four pillars supporting the octagonal pavilion. Inside, there was an old man who seemed to be sitting down to have a drink.
Only when walking closer, would they realize something was wrong.
This old man was not sitting, but half-sitting, half-standing. He was in this position because his body below his waist had turned to stone, he was unable to stand or sit, but from a distance it looked as if he was sitting. In fact, this half-sitting, half-standing posture, in which you can’t sit down, and even more so, you can’t stand up, is the most exhausting, and it would have been worse than death for this old man to keep this posture for a long time.
In front of this man with fossilized legs, a wine jug and a cup were placed.
The wine jug and cup were placed at the center of the table and looked as if anybody could reach out and take them easily.
However, the jug and the cup were just out of the reach of this old man, and even if he strained his body with all his might, his fingers could not even brush against the jug and the cup, narrowly missing them by a breath.
Being unable to sit down, or to stand up; to look at the wine in front of you, yet unable to reach the jug and pour a drink… This kind of punishment may not seem like much on the surface, but when you think about it, it is the most cruel punishment in the world. When Wei Shu saw this, he felt shivers on his back once again, if one day he was forced to bear such punshiment, he might as well commit suicide. Of course, he also understood that the expert who punished this old man in such a manner would definitely not give the old man a chance to commit suicide, so in this case, it was actually already worse than then death. One might fear death, but facing such never-ending torment, Wei Shu would still prefer death, after all death would pass by immediately, but such torment would last forever.
“Old-timer, please have a drink.” Wei Shu was unable to free the old man from his half-fossilised state as it had to do with the power of law in this place, if he tried to forcefully free the old man, not only would he not be able to save him, but he himself might even turn into stone also.
But, to pour a glass of wine for the old man.
Can still be done easily.
It would be too easy if such a simple action could be exchanged for information about how to leave Rain Valley from the old man.
Wei Shu bowed his head and did not dare to look at Yue Yang behind him, before respectfully pouring a glass of wine for the old man in front of him, whose legs had been fossilized, and served it to him with both hands.
That old man should have been a deprived drunkard, he immediately snatched the cup of wine.
Threw back his neck and gulped down the wine in a hurry.
It’s done.
Wei Shu felt like he had finally made some contributions, any opportunity to serve ‘Third Young Master’ must not be missed. Could he let ‘Third Young Master’ do something like pouring wine for the old man? He naturally couldn’t, he himself must do these menial tasks! The next thing would be how to obtain information from the old man, how to get him to reveal to them the secret of leaving this Rain Valley.
“Ahhhhhhhh!”
The Old man screamed miserably, and his originally red and lively face turned dead black.
Black blood spilled out of his eyes and nostrils, revealing a look of severe poisoning as if he would suffocate and die at any moment.
“I didn’t do it, I didn’t do anything!” Wei Shu was startled and hurriedly pleaded with Yue Yang. It must have been the Demon Doctor, Ghost Eye King, etc. who passed by before and put poison in the cup, otherwise, he had done nothing himself, how could the old man get poisoned? But what made Wei Shu feel suspicious was that when he first took the cup, he had already scanned the cup for poison and found it to contain none, otherwise he would not have offered it to the old man to drink, therefore how could the old man be poisoned immediately after drinking from the cup?
