Chapter 30: The Battle Begins
Xie Bangui said in a deep voice: "If you don't have yin and yang eyes, sit down honestly for me, listen to orders, don't look around, be careful of being confused by ghosts and walk into the water." "Literature" and "mystery."
Whether Xie Bangui's words were true or not, he finally stabilized the army temporarily. Sun Qianhu also breathed a sigh of relief: "What should we do if the mine doesn't work?" β
Xie Bangui gritted his teeth and said, "I can only go into the water!" β
"Into the water?" The tall fat man turned pale with fright: "That's boiling water!" Even if we are born, how long can we last in the water? I'm afraid that it will become a meat soup before I swim to the place. β
Xie Bangui took off the wooden coffin around his neck, solemnly handed it to the fat man, and said, "If we don't solve the torture table within a stick of incense, we will only be cooked alive." Even if you know you can't do it, you can only take a risk. If I don't come back, please send the wooden coffin back to the ghost ......"
"I'll do it!" Liang Qi walked up and smiled casually: "Don't look at me with that kind of look, I'm already a dead person, even if I don't go today, I won't have a few days to live." It's better to leave you a few thoughts before you die, maybe in a few years, someone will tell the story of the hammer and the nail to the younger generation. β
Xie Bangui arched his hand and said, "Go all the way!" β
Liang Qi patted Mei Xin'er on the shoulder again: "Girl, as the predecessor of Lingya, I still say that, if you can quit, quit early." Don't wait until you can't walk if you want to. β
Mei Xin'er choked on tears and said, "Senior......"
"I'm very happy to hear you call me senior!" Liang Qiyi's eyes showed a gentle smile towards his juniors.
"Boss!" Liang Qi bowed to Zhao Dashen: "Thank you for taking care of you, Lao Qi can't help you, I'm sorry not to go to those brothers, wait until you get over there and then make amends to the brothers!" β
Zhao Da took a deep breath and said, "We are still brothers, if you go, I will still give you linen and filial piety." When I get there, I'll ask you to drink wine and eat meat. β
"Thank you!" Liang Qi finally turned to the tall fat man and gently took the heavenly hammer and earth nail from his hand: "Fat man, lend me your magic weapon first, and learn it with your eyes wide open." This is what the teacher taught you in the end, and the highest glory of the most secret capture is to die well. That's what my Master said to me! β
"What did you say?" The tall fat man was stunned: "I don't seem to worship you as a teacher?" β
Liang Qi's hands and fingers were like swords connecting several heavy points around his body, forcing all the last essence he used to maintain his body out of his body, and the golden mangs all around his body were magnificent, burning his body like a red sun rising that illuminated the night sky.
Liang Qiren looked up to the sky in mid-air and laughed: "You took away the Heavenly Hammer and Earth Nail, that is, the heir of our brother, if you don't spread the name of our Heavenly Hammer and Earth Nail all over the world, I won't spare you as a ghost!" As soon as the voice fell, Liang Qi turned into the water in the posture of a moth to the fire.
Before the splash of Liang Qi had fallen, the clumps of falling off heads had already been swept out of the water by the boiling river, and through the waves, the yellow oil could be faintly seen oozing out of Liang Qi's skin. Liang Qi seemed to be unaware, like a big fish desperately swimming towards the torture platform.
Someone broke into the vicinity of the torture platform, how could the ghost guards sit idly by?
In less than a moment, hordes of ghosts swarmed out from behind the torture table, like a group of piranhas with their fangs baring around Liang Qi frantically biting, Liang Qi completely ignored his body in the flesh and blood, and was still rushing towards the torture platform. It's not that he can't shake away the powerful ghosts that are biting him, but he wants to save every piece of the Qi Fighting Torture Table.
A moment later, Liang Qi, who was naked and iron-clad all over his body, finally stood up and stood near the execution platform. Between the movements of the left hand, the thirty-six ground-locking nails formed a large array of Tiangang through the waves and shot directly at the execution platform, Liang Qi waved the sky-shaking hammer and moved forward, and the thirty-six hammer shadows, like thirty-six thunderbolts, smashed at the end of the locking nails almost in no order, sealing all the seven-inch nails into the torture platform.
Liang Qi pinched the magic trick and took a few steps back, and a huge bubble surged out of his mouth, although no one heard what he shouted at the end, but judging from the shape of his mouth, he should have shouted out a "burst" word in the end.
Thirty-six locking nails suddenly burst into flames, and the rock-solid torture platform exploded with the nail hole as the origin of a spider's web, and dense bubbles surged wildly along the cracks, and the huge torture platform also crumbled.
Liang Qi put his hands together and raised the hammer over the top, and smashed it down to the torture table with all his strength. The place where the hammer fell shook the ground, and a large number of bubbles instantly blocked the sight of the crowd, and only the two ends of the huge torture table could be seen cocked and folded in half in the middle, which was Liang Qi's last hammer that smashed the torture table into two sections. A large amount of sediment surged up at the bottom of the river, enveloping the torture platform and Liang Qi in the middle.
The wind in the sky stopped, the boiling water also cooled down quickly under the impact of the river, and the stuffiness in people's hearts also dissipated a lot in the cool breeze.
Xie Bangui stood solemnly facing the river, but saw a black shadow rising from the bottom of the water, standing in the air, from the other party's only chance of clothes, it could be seen that he was Liang Qi who went into the water, but his body with only bones left was unbearable to see.
Liang Qi raised his hand and threw the hammer and nail to the feet of the tall fat man, and his iron bones also collapsed and flowed down the river.
"Senior Liang......" Mei Xin'er cried and knelt on the ground.
Xie Bangui said solemnly: "Fatty, pick up the heavenly hammer and earth nail, kneel down and kowtow, and give your master a ride." β
The tall fat man's tears also flowed, not because of sadness but because he was scared out of tears: "I didn't want to worship him as a teacher!" Not reallyβ"
"Get on your knees!" Sun Qianhu pinched the tall fat man's neck with the palm of his big hand, and pressed him to the ground without saying anything: "Pick up your master's relics, kowtow to your master, if you dare to say half a 'no' word again, I will immediately break your neck and let you go down to accompany your master." β
"Don't, don't...... I worship ...... I bow ......" The tall fat man bowed to the river with tears in his eyes, and Sun Qianhu let go of his palm.
Xie Bangui asked the Huotou Army for three wine bowls, poured out three bowls of spirits from the gourd on his waist, and said in a low voice facing the river: "Senior Liang drinks a bowl of wine, go all the way!" β
A fresh breeze blew, and the liquor in the bowl fell out of thin air with a degree visible to the naked eye, and disappeared into the breeze for a moment.
Mei Xin'er was pleasantly surprised: "Is it Senior Liang?" It's great that he didn't have a soul to fly away. β
The little girl knelt by the river and prayed in a low voice: "Senior, you have to take care!" If you can choose the next life, don't do secret hunting anymore, okay......"
Xie Bangui quickly picked up the wine bowl and threw it into the water, many people saw the crack under the wine bowl and smelled the aroma of wine mixed with the water on the ground, but no one opened their mouths to remind Mei Xin'er.
It's not that Xie Bangui is deceiving himself, but the custom of the ghost is like this, using the seemingly deceitful three bowls of wine to keep the thoughts of his comrades in his heart until he also disappears into the world, which they call "heart sacrifice".
Xie Bangui gently patted Mei Xin'er's shoulder: "Let's go!" β
Mei Xin'er said with tears in her eyes: "Do we even leave a tombstone for Senior Liang?" β
"There's no need! Secret capture life does not leave a name, death does not leave a monument! If one day I die in battle, no one needs to leave me a monument! Xie Ban didn't finish his words, and the person had already walked away.
The commander of the cavalry guards also followed the camp and marched to the source of the town again, and it didn't take long for a majestic city to appear in front of everyone.
The whole city is built on the mountain, and the front wall holds back the water, and the rolling river of the town water gushes out from the gap in the middle of the wall, and it looks like the city is like a heavy object pressed on the water source. There is a strangeness in the majesty.
Xie Bangui stopped about three miles away from the city: "Senior Sun, order the soldiers to stand by, girl, release the old ghost surnamed Xia." β
"Oh!" As soon as Mei Xin'er untied the soul purse, Xie Bangui pulled Mr. Xia out of the purse.
"Why are you young man so rude...... Mr. Xia said angrily, "The old man was originally kind to spread the word, but you imprisoned my soul, what do you mean?" β
Xie Bangui was expressionless: "Just look around." β
"Prison City!" Mr. Xia's old eyes widened: "You want to attack the prison city?" Let's go back, don't make unnecessary sacrifices......"
Xie Bangui said coldly: "This is not what you should say, you just need to tell me how to get in." β
Mr. Xia looked at Xie Bangui's soulless claw that slowly stretched out, and knew that if he didn't give Xie Bangui a satisfactory answer, all that was waiting for him would be ashes: "You take the claws away first, and I'll tell you slowly." Don't be impulsive, if you want to enter the prison city, you can only use the ropeway on the back hill to slide in. If you have a siege ladder, it shouldn't be a problem to get in from the front! β
"Really?" Xie Bangui couldn't help but doubt the authenticity of Mr. Xia's answer, if it was so simple to enter the prison city, it would definitely not be difficult to get out, in that case, what was the point of the prison city that Gao Yongtai had painstakingly managed?
"It's more real than real gold!" Mr. Xia hurriedly explained: "When Gao Yongtai designed this prison city, he originally focused all his attention on the interior. It's not so easy to get out when you're in? β
"Fart!" Xie Ban's ghost eyes showed murderous intentions: "According to what you said, if I dig a hole in the city wall, can I release the people inside?" β
Mr. Xia said with a bitter face: "Don't force me, I really don't know, the periphery of the prison city is all designed by Gao Yongtai." I only know the internals. β
The tall fat man came up: "Brother, why don't we go up the mountain and have a look, maybe, what clues can be seen from above!" β
"It's good!" Xie Bangui nodded and said, "Senior Sun, order the troops to be stationed in place!" You and Lao Liu leave the strain, and a few of us will go up the back mountain to have a look. β
The ropeway built on the hill behind the prison city has long been completely damaged due to disrepair, and only the two forts that connected the ropeway are left standing alone.
Xie Bangui picked up the iron cable under the fort with his foot and looked at it: "It's no fun to take the cableway, if you want to go in, you can only use the flying wings." β
"Is it okay to go in so recklessly?" The tall fat man half-squatted on the edge of the ropeway, and looked as short as possible into the prison city: "In the middle of the prison city is the school field, and the cells are built around the school field. According to the old ghost, there should have been a lot of people in the prison city back then, even if they all died of old age and starvation, there should be some traces in the school field, right? But if you see for yourself, there's nothing on the school grounds, but there are shadows dangling in the cell, maybe the ghost cat is waiting for us to go in! Let's just go in like this, aren't we looking for death? β
As Gao Fat said, the empty school grounds are as clean as if they have been washed with water, and there is not even any accumulated soil. There was light and shadow swaying in the dark cells around the school grounds, like someone walking back and forth.
