    Dali Prison.

    This is the place where felons from the imperial court are imprisoned, and it is also a nightmare place for clan members, high-ranking officials, generals and scholars.  Any important criminals who are imprisoned here will either be put under house arrest for life or be beheaded soon.  Chen Qingzhi's family and his students are all detained here.

    After midnight, Ning Caichen put on his night clothes and quietly left the inn.  On the scattered roofs, they looked like bats walking through.

    The street is very quiet, there are no pedestrians, except for watchmen and soldiers on patrol.

    In a short time, Ning Caichen saw Dali Prison from a distance.  He had come to see it during the day, but he didn't dare to get close to avoid being noticed. He didn't think much of it at the time, but now he realized that it was actually heavily guarded behind the scenes.  It is not easy to rescue people from Dali Prison silently.

    In the dim light, with superhuman eyesight, Ning Caichen saw the prison gate at a glance. On the gate sat a statue of the prison god that was only half the size of a real person.  The prison god is an old man, wearing a red robe, with a kind face, but his face is blue, and his mouth is protruding, a bit like a thunderous mouth.

    There were six jailers guarding the door, and soldiers and horses patrolled by from time to time.  They were all standing with swords and guns, their faces were gloomy, and they looked extremely depressed.

    Ning Caichen found an opportunity and quietly stepped in.

    "Dark, gloomy, and damp, this was Ning Caichen's first feeling. If you stay in such a dark place for a long time, your spirit will be exhausted even if you don't die."

    After passing through the heavy iron gate and arriving at the cell, five or six jailers and the cell leader were gathering around the table to spank, and four or five were bragging and spanking not far away.  In such a boring place, this is the only entertainment.

    Not far from them, there were bunches of keys hanging on Qiang Shang.  Next to the key are terrifying and ferocious instruments of torture, including axes, knives, saws, drills, chisels, whips, staffs, clamps, wooden hands, standing cages, sticks, bamboo sticks, tiger benches, etc., all of them are available.  It makes people cringe just thinking about it.

    Centered here, to the north are ordinary cells with thigh-thick wooden doors. Ning Caichen walked in and took a look. They were all wooden cells, dirty and filthy, exuding a stench. In addition to suffering from  The rest of the prisoners, who were wailing under the punishment, had fallen asleep at this moment.  To the south is the death row prison, commonly known as Tiger Head Prison, where serious criminals are imprisoned.

    There is a huge grinning tiger head painted on the wall in front of it. There is a very low and narrow doorway below, which looks like a tiger's mouth.  The Hutou Gate is only three feet high, but the walls are eight feet thick.  The double doors and double walls are all made of boulders and are extremely strong.  To enter this door, you not only have to bend down a lot, but you also have to bend your legs and squat down.  The tiger head on the top of the cell door is not actually a tiger, but a legendary beast - the zoanthus.  "It is said that the dragon gave birth to nine sons, but none of them became a dragon. Each one has its own interests. The four beasts are like tigers and are powerful, so they stand at the prison gate."

    ??Entering through Hutou Gate, there is a Hell Temple opposite.  It is said to be a temple, but in fact, it is just a shrine carved from sandstone embedded in the middle of the high wall. There are three small statues of gods carved in bricks in the niche. On both sides are two little ghosts, who are fierce and ferocious.  , looking ghostly.  In the middle is an old man, exactly like the prison god outside the prison gate.  There is a rule in the prison that allows prisoners to visit the prison god every day.  Due to years of smoke and fire, as well as the dust all over his body, the cyan on his face and the red on his robe, which was supposed to be a kind-hearted and compassionate prison god, turned into dark gray.  There is no incense burner in front of the throne, which shows that incense is never used here. There is only a lamp like a bean, which makes the prison god even more gloomy and terrifying.

    The base under the statue is made of stone, and in front are two small, thick, locked iron doors.  Outside the iron gate is a small hole that leads directly to the outside of the prison wall.  This small hole was specially used for hauling the corpses of prisoners who died of exhaustion.  The so-called "death" refers to the fact that a prisoner dies in prison and cannot go out through the prison door as a rule. This is the rule of the cell "walk in vertically and drag out horizontally".

    There are also guards guarding Hutou Prison. Compared with the guards outside, the guards here are obviously very strict, and no one dares to slack off.

    Ning Caichen was about to walk in when his heart palpitated suddenly. It seemed that someone had seen through his invisibility and was staring closely at him.  Ning Caichen couldn't help but be horrified that there was a master hidden in the Tiger Head Prison.  He remained motionless, following the visitor's gaze, and couldn't help but be stunned.  The source of that gaze was actually the old man in the Hell Temple.

    In the dim light, the apparently dead statue of the God of Hell seemed to come alive at this moment, its eyes like lightning, like the bright moon in the blue sky, staring at him unblinkingly.  Even the dust covering his body couldn't conceal the majesty and uprightness displayed on the old man's body.  Ning Caichen realized at this moment that there was also a three-color halo hanging on the back of the old man's head. It was pitch black, pure white, and red, just like the judge of the underworld, making people afraid to look at it.

    The two ferocious little ghosts next to the Prison God seemed to have woken up at this moment, looking at Ning Caichen fiercely, with their fierce looks revealed, as if they only wanted toWhen the god gives an order, he will pounce on Ning Caichen without hesitation, arrest him, and send him to hell.

    Ning Caichen didn¡¯t take these two brats seriously as they were only at the level of cultivating qi.  On the contrary, the old prison god, at least at the Qi-entraining level, is his real enemy.  In the prison, he did not meet the masters of the Daqian dynasty, but instead met the prison god. Ning Caichen secretly felt bitter in his heart. He had seen Lin Moniang's power, and naturally he did not dare to underestimate the people of the Shinto.  In particular, the old man's cultivation level was obviously higher than his.

    Although he only came to inquire about the specific situation of the prison during this trip, he was going to rob the prison and save people three days later.  With this prison god guarding him, whether it is the former or the latter, it is obviously not an easy task.  He has no intention of enmity with the Shinto people, but he will never give up on rescuing his mentor.  Therefore, he refused to give in at all.

    After a long silent confrontation, the prison god old man flicked his robe, and a black light flashed, and the jailer in the tiger head prison fell asleep instantly.  At this time, the Prison God said expressionlessly: "Young man, this is not the place for you to come. Since you are a first-time offender, I will let you go for the time being. If there is a next time, don't blame me for being ruthless. You can go."  "

    The cold voice echoed in the empty prison, which was frightening and terrifying.

    The prison is the territory of the prison god. It is normal for Ning Caichen to be rude when he breaks in.  Normally, Ning Caichen wouldn't take it to heart when considering the situation.  But now he couldn't retreat, otherwise the rescue plan would be in vain.

    Three days later, the capital will be in chaos, and this is Ning Caichen's only chance to save people.  How could Ning Caichen give up just because of this?  He has also heard about the prison gods. There are two prison gods, Yaxi and Gaotao.  Judging from the appearance of the old man in front of him, he must be Gaotao, the legendary prison god.

    "Gaotao built prisons, and the law existed."

    Gaotao is the founder of prisons and a well-known god of punishment. He is impartial and selfless, knows how to execute prison sentences, observes human feelings, and advocates that there should be no torture in prison. He is a famous good god.

    Thinking of the old man¡¯s origins, Ning Caichen began to worry.  He clasped his fists and said, "I am a poor Taoist, Ning Caichen. I didn't know that you are the Venerable Gaotao."
