Chapter Eighty-Six: The Underground Dead City
Early in the morning, the town inn was much more lively than when Luo Qing came yesterday, but this is also a helpless thing, yesterday the guests of the inn were all staying in batches, but today they left the hotel at the same time.
These are all elites of various sects, each with a weapon in their hands, all of which look a little dazzling. Sometimes Luo Qing even wonders, isn't there such a thing as a storage ring in this world, why do they always hold weapons in their hands, not too troublesome?
The purpose of these people who quit the store should be for the fruit of the so-called immortal tree, but thinking of this, Luo Qing couldn't help but sigh, this cultivation world treats human life as a thing, what is this cultivation?
Putting thousands of innocent dead lives, but no one pays attention to the reason, no one cares about the truth, and is bent on thinking about such an ethereal thing as the immortal tree, the higher this person cultivates, the more selfish he becomes.
It is said that the way of heaven is ruthless, that is because the way of heaven has no humanity, but once a person with human nature becomes ruthless, he may be even better than the way of heaven.
"Forget it, you grab your immortal tree fruit, I'll do what I can for the little lonely village!" Looking at the people who were about to leave the store, Luo Qing's heart was full of contempt, he didn't plan to leave the store, but went out directly.
Leaving the inn, Luo Qing headed in the direction of Shilipo again, this time, he planned to explore the underground of the small lonely village to see what was down there.
When he came to the small lonely village, Luo Qing found that there were finally people from the public gate, but there were only a dozen fast catchers, and they had already blocked the small lonely village and did not allow anyone to approach.
However, these catchers are ordinary people, they know how to do some tricks, but they are not cultivators, they may be okay to deal with some ordinary thieves, if they meet cultivators, they are all pigs to be slaughtered.
Seeing Luo Qing riding a mount falling from the sky, the majestic Qilin made the shutter a little frightened, although they are also ordinary people who have seen the world, but there are not many people who have seen the Qilin, so they have this performance.
"Childe, please forgive me, this is the office of the public gate, and you can't enter it at will!" Suddenly, a catcher stepped forward and said to Luo Qing.
"It's okay, I'm here to provide clues, which of you is the head catcher?" Luo Qing smiled, he still had some praise for this catcher who dared to come forward to speak, at least he dared to come forward.
The catcher quickly replied, "We've gone to the village to investigate." ”
"I have important clues to provide him, I think it will help him solve the case, you can take me in to meet him directly!" Luo Qing said softly.
"Alright then, I'll take you in. Said quickly.
The two entered the small lonely village and soon met the head catcher.
"Who are you?" the head catcher asked when he saw Luo Qing.
"My name is Qingtian, and I am a casual cultivator. Luo Qing said with a smile.
"What are you doing here?" asked the headcatcher again.
"I'm here to meddle in my business!" Luo Qing laughed again.
"Oh... May I ask what you want to do?" the head catcher smiled and said, "So many cultivators have gone to fight for treasures, why don't you go?"
"You're also a cultivator, so why don't you fight for treasures?" Luo Qing smiled and asked rhetorically.
"Looks like I asked you first. The head catcher said.
Luo Qing smiled and said, "But I didn't say I wanted to answer you first!"
"Well, since the little brother has nothing to say, then don't get in the way of my office. At this point, the head catcher spoke again.
"The public gate is still working, so why didn't you come for a long time, now that the corpses of the villagers are starting to decompose, I guess you haven't been able to get many clues. Luo Qing said with a smile.
"It's our responsibility to be late for the public to come, but most of the people in the public are ordinary people, and there are not many people who dare to take on such a big case. Speaking of which, the head catcher was also a little ashamed.
"Then what about you, why didn't you come as soon as possible?" Luo Qing asked.
"I didn't return at that time, and I wasn't in the ya, so I couldn't get the news in time!" said the head catcher again.
"Well, the reason is acceptable. Luo Qing smiled, and then said: "Since this is the case, I will send you a clue, the people in the village are all hallucinogenic and die, and the cause of hallucination is the water source." ”
Hearing this, the head catcher did not stop, but went directly to the village well, picked up a bucket of well water, and then tasted it directly.
Seeing this, Luo Qing was also very surprised, he didn't expect this head catcher to do this, and regardless of whether there was poison in the water, he personally tasted the well water, which is not something that ordinary head catchers can do, and suddenly he felt good in Luo Qing's heart.
"Phantom Flower!" muttered the headcatcher.
Hearing this, Luo Qing was even more surprised and asked, "You can actually identify medicinal materials?"
"In my early years, I traveled around with my master, so I got to know some flowers and plants. The head catcher said, "It is true that a lot of phantom pollen has been thrown into this well, but who would do that?"
As he spoke, the catcher looked at Luo Qing, this was the clue provided by Luo Qing, so he also had reason to suspect Luo Qing.
"You don't have to look at me, it has nothing to do with me, I just heard that it may be a cult, so I came to investigate last night!" Luo Qing didn't mean to hide it, and directly told the head catcher his thoughts.
"But you're still suspicious!" said the headcatcher.
Luo Qing was a little speechless, but what he said was indeed right, he was suspicious now.
"I confess that I do have suspicions, and if I were you, I would remain equally suspicious. Luo Qing said.
"But I'm not going to guard against you!" the headcatcher laughed.
"Oh... Why don't you guard against me, I'd like to hear about it!" Luo Qing also smiled.
"It's nothing, it's just a feeling, I don't feel the smell of evil in you, if the people here are killed by you, then no matter how clean you are, you will definitely be tainted with a trace of evil!" said the headcatcher.
"But since you've been here last night and you're here again today, you think there's more to discover. Just as he had finished the previous sentence, the catcher continued.
"It's worthy of being a headcatcher. Luo Qing smiled, he didn't expect this head catcher to be so shrewd.
"Looks like I guessed right. The head catcher smiled and said, "In Xia Chen Feng, I hope that the little brother can share the clues with me." ”
"It's okay to share, but I want to know what school you studied under first. "This is very important, because he is afraid that after he says it, the head catcher happens to be a person from Tianyi Sect, and it will be troublesome.
"The family teacher is a casual cultivator, and he has not established a sect. Chen Feng said.
"How can you prove it?" Luo Qing asked.
Chen Feng said: "There is no way to prove it, believe it or not, but in the lower body, if you are a person in the public family, even if it is a person from a certain sect, you will definitely deal with it impartially." ”
"Well, it doesn't hurt to tell you. Seeing the sincerity of what Chen Feng said, Luo Qing didn't plan to hide it, so he said: "There was a group of people who came here last night, and a sect was involved at this time, can you dare to continue the investigation?"
"Why don't you dare, the lives of the people are also their lives, and I said I would deal with them impartially. Chen Feng said.
Seeing this, Luo Qing smiled and said, "The other group of people who came here last night are from the Tianyi Sect, and they are here for some kind of secret. ”
"What's the secret?" Chen Feng said curiously.
"I don't know. Luo Qing said: "But the secret is underground." ”
Chen Feng frowned and asked, "Little brother, what do you mean by this, what secrets are there underground, and is there any treasure that can't be found?"
Chen Feng's temptation made Luo Qing feel a little funny, but Luo Qing really didn't know what was underground, but he still said: "I don't know if there is treasure underground, but it's true that there is another world underground." ”
"Another world?" Chen Feng was a little stunned, but he instantly understood what Luo Qing meant, and said, "Little brother is saying that there is a secret room underground, right?"
Luo Qing smiled: "I didn't say that there is a secret room below, I haven't gone down, what if there is a city below, and what if there is a place for a certain force to hide troops below?"
"Little brother, do you know how to go down?" Chen Feng asked.
"Escape!" Luo Qing smiled, but Chen Feng frowned when he heard this, so Luo Qing said: "I'm kidding you, it was too dark last night to see clearly, I only know that those people pressed a mechanism somewhere in the sacrificial square, and then a lifting platform will appear." ”
So the two left the well and returned to the sacrificial square again, and after a period of searching, Luo Qing found the location of the mechanism.
Luo Qing remembered correctly, the mechanism was on a stone statue, and when he pressed the mechanism, there was a rumbling sound, and the entire sacrificial square was lifted, and finally stopped after a while.
The lifting platform was just below the sacrificial square, Luo Qing looked at Chen Feng and said with a smile: "Chen Zhutou is interested in going down and having a look." ”
"Why go down and take a look!" After speaking, Chen Feng turned his head to the other catchers and said, "You guys are guarding here, and no one is allowed to approach." ”
"Yes. The crowd quickly responded.
Luo Qing and Chen Feng entered the lifting platform, and soon the lifting platform began to fall, but this underground was dug quite deep, and the lifting platform fell a dozen breaths before reaching the ground.
As soon as they walked out of the lifting platform, Luo Qing and Chen Feng were directly shocked, if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never believe that what they saw was real.
What Luo Qing and Chen Feng didn't expect was that this was really a dungeon, but this dungeon was a dead city, Luo Qing's spiritual power could be integrated into heaven and earth, and just a little perception, he could know if there were living people.
Luo Qing sensed every corner of the entire dungeon, and didn't find any living creatures at all, not even a single mouse, but he sensed a strange aura.
He couldn't tell what it was, but it felt weird, and it came and went, so it was hard to catch.
"Do you want to go into the city to check?" At this time, Chen Feng looked at Luo Qing and asked softly.
"This is a dead city, but such a big city, there are no living creatures, it makes people feel weird, it is estimated that there is some shocking big secret hidden here, otherwise they would not have destroyed the entire small lonely village, it must be that the people of the small lonely village have discovered something. Luo Qing said.
"How do you know this is a dead city?" Hearing Luo Qing say this, Chen Feng became more and more curious about him, so he asked.
"It's nothing, I just sensed it before!" Luo Qing smiled, he didn't want to hide anything.
"You can actually perceive the situation of the entire dungeon, how much mental power does it take!" Chen Feng sighed.
Luo Qing didn't answer him, just smiled, and then said, "Since you're here, why don't you go in and have a look!"
"Okay, then let's go!" Chen Feng finished speaking, and took the lead towards the dungeon.
Luo Qing also raised his steps and followed closely behind Chen Feng, there was still some distance from the lifting platform to the dungeon, so they walked for a while before coming to the gate of the dungeon.
At this time, the three big characters engraved on the city gate made the two feel very shocked, because these three big characters were "vain dead city".
