Chapter 41: Three Questions About Punishment

The door is open, but there is darkness inside, like an endless abyss, capable of devouring everything. When people look at it, they can't help but feel an indescribable and inexplicable feeling of horror from the deepest part of their hearts.

It seems that there is some kind of great horror and crisis in it.

However, Chen Zong had to enter. If he did not enter, the disciples of the two penalty halls would do it directly.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Zong looked dignified, and stepped forward step by step, stepping into the darkness, his body seemed to be gradually engulfed, and with that step, he had the feeling of stepping into another world.

majesty!

The endless majesty seemed to come from the oppression of the heavens, turning into a burst of indescribable extreme coercion, directly impacting on my mind and spirit, trying to shake it.

But Chen Zong's mind was strong and his mind was extremely tenacious, facing such an impact, he remained motionless.

However, Chen Zong kept walking, walking forward continuously, as if there was an invisible force behind him pushing him, making him unable to stop.

This darkness is so long, it seems to have no end.

The coercion is constantly increasing, constantly impacting Chen Zong's spirit and mind, trying to shake it.

"Chen Zong, a disciple of Tianguang Peak who worships swords, you are guilty!"

Very abruptly, a muffled voice exploded in Chen Zong's ears like a thunderbolt. With an incomparable deterrent force, it directly impacted Chen Zong's mind and will. The ever-increasing coercion everywhere almost defeated Chen Zong's mind and will, and directly disintegrated all resistance.

"I don't know what is the crime?" Chen Zong asked back, his tone was neither slow nor fast, and he didn't seem to be affected at all.

That voice did not resound, but Chen Zong's footsteps still did not stop, as he continued to move forward, the coercion became more and more intense.

It seems that a long time has passed, and the coercion has reached a new height.

"Suspect Chen Zong, you killed your fellow apprentice brother and still haven't pleaded guilty!"

Suddenly, another voice rang out. This voice was different from the deep one before. Instead, it was very sharp, like a sharp sword, merciless and very sudden, like the fatal blow of an assassin, ruthlessly pierced into Chen Zong's heart.

That kind of feeling is really indescribable, and it will directly break Chen Zong's defense.

On the way to the Hall of Punishment, Chen Zong had already made all preparations.

Although he killed the three sword disciples from Tianmen Peak,

The reason is because they want to kill themselves, and of course they will not sit still, but in the punishment hall, they absolutely cannot admit it.

Although he didn't know much about the Hall of Punishment in Taihao Mountain, Chen Zong was not a rookie. After years of hard work, Chen Zong knew that no matter how fair an institution like the Hall of Punishment was, it was definitely not a good place.

Therefore, no matter what, you can't admit that you killed someone, but you have to treat it as ignorance, and you have to be ignorant naturally, not deliberately.

Build your own psychological defenses so you won't be interrogated.

Don't know or don't know.

As long as you can't ask anything, even if you have doubts, you will not punish yourself. Of course, if the punishment hall is unfair, there is nothing you can do.

But come to think of it, for a sect like Taihao Mountain, and the status of the Hall of Punishment is so high, if it is not fair, it will definitely cause many problems, lead to internal chaos, breed many unnecessary conflicts, and eventually make the entire sect exist in name only , disintegrated or even cut off the inheritance.

Even though there are some darkness in the penalty hall, overall it should be fair.

"The disciple is not guilty." Chen Zong responded again, with a firm tone, without any wavering or guilty conscience.

The voice fell silent again.

Chen Zong was still walking, walking in the endless darkness, not knowing where he would end up.

Unknowingly, the previous precautions seemed to have disappeared, even Chen Zong himself didn't pay attention.

"Chen Zong, why did you kill the three sword disciples from Tianmen Peak?"

This voice was neither dull nor sharp, it seemed to be very soft, like a spring rain, it was so natural, gentle, and unguardedly infiltrated the body and mind, making Chen Zong feel an indescribable comfort.

This kind of gentle infiltration like spring breeze and rain made Chen Zong unknowingly disintegrate all defenses, and all mental defenses disappeared. It seemed that there was an impulse to let Chen Zong open his defenses, speak freely, and express everything he did. Say it all in detail, only in this way will you feel happy.

It's like talking freely with a confidant in wine, communicating with confidantes to the fullest, and telling the secrets hidden deep in one's heart without voicing.

This move was so sudden, yet so natural, impossible to guard against, impossible to guard against.

Chen Zong is about to tell the details of how he killed the three sword disciples of Tianmen Peak, and confide in the owner of the voice.

In an instant, the black mark trembled in Chen Zong's divine sea, and an indescribable will emerged, which instantly awakened Chen Zong's mind and will, and instantly woke up.

In just an instant, Chen Zong immediately understood that he had been tricked, so he used his tricks and pretended to be tricked.

Under the single-minded formula, Chen Zong's thinking speed is unimaginable, and all thoughts go by in less than a thousandth of a breath.

"I didn't kill anyone." Chen Zong's expression was as usual, he was not confused at all, on the contrary, he had a gentle smile on his face, just like having a conversation with a bosom friend, that's the feeling.

It doesn't look obtrusive in the slightest.

Outside the punishment hall, the two disciples of the punishment hall were waiting for the result.

"If this Chen Zong really committed murder, he will definitely not be able to withstand the punishment of three questions." The male disciple smiled, and the female disciple nodded in agreement, expressing agreement.

Penalty three questions!

It sounds like a very simple appellation, but those who know it are all dismayed.

The three questions of punishment are exactly the interrogation of the punishment palace, and they are caught off guard. Moreover, they contain astonishing power, which will impact the interrogated person's heart in different ways, and open the interrogated person's heart in a tyrannical, sharp or gentle way. Defense, so as to speak out the corresponding secret in the heart.

There are three questions in punishment, one question is better than one question, if you can bear the first question, you may not be able to bear the second question, if you can bear the first question and the second question, generally you can't bear the third question.

For as long as Mount Taihao has existed, so has the Hall of Punishment. So far, very few people have been able to resist the Three Questions of Punishment.

Therefore, as long as you really make a mistake, you will not be able to escape the punishment three times out of ten.

Not to mention the fourth realm, even the top fifth realm is the same.

How many disciples who made mistakes, before entering, looked calm, as if they had no mistakes and a clear conscience, but after entering, they cried bitterly and repented.

...

Chen Zong was still walking in the darkness, but in the punishment hall, Chen Zong stood motionless. In this huge hall, there were three figures sitting on the left, middle and right, one of them was an old man, the other was a woman, One is a middle-aged man.

"Three questions have passed the penalty." The middle-aged man looked gloomy, his tone was sharp, and he looked unbelievable.

"My son, you have a clear conscience, and you did not make any mistakes." The old man's voice was a bit dull, and he was the one who asked the first question of the three punishment questions.

"No, I always feel that this son seems to be hiding something." The woman's voice was warm, like spring rain, and it was the voice of the third question of the punishment.

"Anyway, this son passed the three punishment questions, so what should we do?" The old man frowned.

Chen Zong's performance was very natural, but it was because it was too natural that they felt weird.

If it is a top fifth-level king, maybe they will believe it a little bit, but it is only a fourth-level, it is too natural. It is the first time to come to the punishment hall and face the three questions of punishment, even if there is no mistake. It is impossible for a person with no shame to behave as naturally as Chen Zong.

Chen Zong didn't know that his naturalness was normal in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of these veterans, it was extraordinary.

For a while, the three elders in the Hall of Punishment didn't know how to deal with it.

Passed the penalty three questions, but they feel that there is a problem, how to deal with it?

They rarely encountered such a thing, no, it should be the first time for the three of them.

As everyone knows, Chen Zong set up a defense, but he still didn't pass the third question. It's just that at the last moment, the black mark became powerful and awakened Chen Zong. Still not cunning enough.

But these three veterans are caught in a tangle.

If it's just one, maybe you can make a judgment based on your own will, but there are three, and it's not all the same.

acquitted?

It feels unusual and hidden.

Convicted?

Passed the penalty three questions.

"Report to the deputy hall master, and let him decide." Finally, the old man said.

The middle-aged man and the woman nodded their heads as soon as they thought about it. They were just elders in the Hall of Punishment. If they couldn't make a decision, they could only report it.

After unanimous agreement, report immediately.

Immediately, among the empty chairs behind the three elders, a figure also emerged. The figure was a little blurry, as if shrouded in a cloud.

Suddenly, the figure in the cloud and mist, a pair of pupils lit up, turning black and white clearly, as if seeing everything illusory, staring directly at the figure below the main hall, it was Chen Zong.

It's only three short breaths, and the gaze is retracted.

"This son is quite interesting." The voice of the deputy hall master also sounded, it was accented, and it seemed to have a hint of a smile.

"Let him report to the Heavenly Sword Army." The deputy hall master said again, and immediately, his body turned into nothingness and disappeared.

"Report to the Heavenly Sword Army?" The three elders looked at each other.

Is this a punishment or what?

But since the deputy hall master said so, it is natural to do so.

Soon, the verdict on Chen Zong also came down.

Go to Tianjian Army to report!

The two punishment hall disciples who brought Chen Zong also looked at each other with doubts on their faces.

Reporting to the Heavenly Sword Army, is this punishment?
