178 Underground water dungeons

Maybe it's still because it's broad daylight, nothing happens after the spell is uncovered and the iron door is opened, but the oncoming eerie cold wind makes people shiver, and Lin Xi, who is standing closer, can even faintly hear a shrill and gender-indistinguishable sob.

And the two of them have the physique of the demon clan, and they can barely accept the resentment of ghosts and the like, but the yacha behind them is already trembling all over, and his face is also pale, obviously nothing has appeared yet, as if he has seen something particularly terrifying and terrifying.

Originally, Lin Xi was still a little hesitant, but seeing him like this, he made up his mind to stuff the two charms to the yacha, and then stepped into the water prison.

Wei Mei took out the green mulberry qin first, and then followed her in, and closed the iron door by the way, so that the yacha could recover a little strength to reattach the charm.

Probably because of the haunting, the underground dungeon has been completely emptied, but at first glance it is still a little shocking, with an unexplained sense of unease and panic. Imprisonment day and night was enough torture, but in such a dark and terrifying place with no air circulation, coupled with the unsightly sewage that drowned to the thighs, it was worse than death to stay here all year round.

Lin Xi sighed lightly, and then picked up a fire talisman and lit the torch on the wall, completely illuminating the underground underground dungeon, and felt even more sad after seeing it clearly.

The water prison is very large, and there are white bones floating on top of the sewage, and the walls in the dozens of iron prisons are pitch black, I don't know if it is dirty or bloodstained. After this torture before death, there is no place to bury after death, and it is strange that there is no resentment.

The flower capital is so big, where did so many prisoners come from, and they have to build a three-story dungeon to fit it?

'M afraid...... There aren't many people who really commit crimes here, and there are more innocent substitutes.

And she's obviously thinking too much.,This is the game.,These are all NPCs.,Even if something like this happened a long time ago.,That's in the past.。 It's all fake now, she just needs to complete the task.

After taking a deep breath, Lin Xi took out the peachwood sword and walked down the stairs step by step, enduring the feeling of nausea and stepping into the sewage.

Fortunately, there is a flat stone floor underneath, no obstacles such as stones or sticks, and no scary underwater animals.

And after the two of them walked a little in this water prison, they realized that something was wrongβ€”it was too calm, and the gloomy feeling had receded a lot, not to mention the faint sobbing.

"It's strange, I can still feel the unrest inside the door just now, why do you feel like you're hiding when you come in?" Lin Xi casually threw out a fire talisman out of thin air, she is different now, she has enough spiritual power, the flame turned out of the fire talisman is pure purple as big as the palm of her hand, and it lasted for more than a minute before falling into the water to extinguish.

Although the fire talisman can hurt the ghost-like physique, it still doesn't attract anything, and there is still silence in the water prison.

The ghost was still holding the qin, and when she heard this, she also frowned and said, "Are ghosts afraid of demons?" ”

As soon as his words fell, another flame appeared out of thin air, this time directly past his ear, and he didn't feel the heat, but the cold that could invade the human body made him take a step aside.

Lin Xi happened to look at it too, and couldn't help but be surprised when he saw this: "I didn't light the fire...... Could it be a ghost fire? Because ...... what you said? ”

"......" thought at first that she was just scaring him, but she didn't expect it to be so.

Jing Mei said: "It should be, ghosts and monsters are such things that can't see the light of day, and they only dare to play tricks like this and don't dare to show up to fight, they are really afraid of our demon clan." ”

He actually used the method of agitation! Lin Xi couldn't help laughing, and then cooperated: "Yes, no matter how arrogant the ghost is, it can't have a substance, at most it is just scary...... Don't move! ”

Seeing Lin Xi's face suddenly change, Wei Mei was hesitating, so she directly threw a spell over, and then coldly raised the peachwood sword and stabbed him in the shoulder neatly...... It seems that I have practiced it many times, and I don't feel unfamiliar with it.

Then there was a slight muffled snort, and when Lin Xi withdrew the sword, he only felt that his shoulder was wet, and when he wanted to reach out to touch it, Lin Xi held his wrist: "Don't touch it, quickly change into your outer robe, and lose this." ”

Wei Mei paused slightly, then obediently put away the piano and changed the robe, and then threw the old one away.

"What the hell is going on?"

Lin Xi looked at him helplessly: "Don't you understand?" Just now, a little ghost wanted to climb on your head, probably because he thought what you said was wrong and wanted to extinguish your prestige. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Gremlin? Wei Mei frowned and asked, "After death, people generally maintain their body shape before death, right?" There are still children in this water prison? ”

Hearing this, Lin Xi's expression also changed, just now when the yacha brought them over, there was a brief introduction to this dungeon, the first layer is used to hold some suspected prisoners or only a few months in prison, the second layer is for more than a few years of felons, this water prison is used to hold some criminals who have committed heinous crimes but need to be beheaded again on a later date. How much of a sin can a child have to be locked up in this water prison on the third basement floor? Also, since they are all prisoners who are going to be beheaded, how can there be so many bones piled up here?

It seems that not only is there something strange about this water prison, but this so-called government may have some ulterior secrets.

Wei Mei didn't want to get the so-called answer, and after a moment of silence, she asked again: "Did you beat it to the ground like that just now?" ”

Lin Xi shook his head and said, "It's just to send it where it should go." ”

Although it was a task she had done a long time ago, Lin Xi had always been interested in the talisman given to her by Xuanluo since she learned talisman making, and then she learned this talisman from the Dusk Dao Commander when she reached the advanced talisman not long ago.

The guide charm, to put it simply, is to guide the wandering spirits scattered in the human world to the ghost world where they should go, and then enter the reincarnation and reincarnation.

In addition to being interested in the bounty, she also wanted to help the ghosts, even if they didn't want to, but she couldn't deny that it was their best destination. All kinds of sufferings in life should be forgotten after death, and live a good life in the next life.

"Hmm." Wei Mei's expression obviously softened a little, and said, "Then continue to force them out?" ”

"I'm afraid not." Lin Xi sighed, shook his head and said: "Generally, resentful ghosts will wander away in the place of death when they have been wronged or have a great revenge before they are revenged, and I just saw that little ghost being sent away by me, and probably never come out again." ”

Having said that, both of them understood that no one had completed this bounty task for a long time, probably because they had arrived here but half of the ghost didn't see it, and then they returned in vain. And all that can be done is to temporarily put two charms to suppress them, so as not to run out and harm people one day.

This also shows that the people who have come are not very good, and they either give up directly, or they are scared away by some small tricks.

And Lin Xi is only slightly involved in these, he can draw a few spells, and monks and Taoists are better at catching ghosts or something. The charm is even more, not to mention that the trumpet is the Shushan faction, let's just say that the main business of Shushan is obviously to catch demons and eliminate demons, and ghosts and monsters have to come to specialize in this kind of people.

It's their mission, and it's a no-brainer to let the NPCs help.

Lin Xisi thought about it and decided to try again.

"Since they won't come out, they can only force it by the worst possible means." Lin Xi sighed, then turned his head and said, "Let's retreat to the door first." ”

The Charm nodded, and turned back to the stairs behind her.

After Lin Xi followed, he first took out a few charms from his bag and handed them to him, "The immobilization talismans you have used, once they show that the entity is close, use this to restrain them first." ”

Then she bypassed him and cast two seals on the sticker door, and then returned to his side and stood still, a few more charms flashing in her hand.

Lin Xi is a little glad that she is now on the tuba, and the other is that there is no need for a cooldown time for these charms, as long as the spiritual power is enough, they can be used one after another. So all she had to do now was to use the raging sea surging spell of a wide range of attacks to spread the flames throughout the water dungeon, and she didn't believe that she couldn't force those resentful ghosts to hide.

Although the area of the water prison is large, it is not difficult for her.

Lin Xi put away the peachwood sword, and after the double command took out the blue frost sword, he jumped up, and then slowly condensed his spiritual power and threw the spell down one by one.

Seeing that everywhere she went was a sea of fire, Wei Mei couldn't help but be a little stunned, although he had always known the power of the charm, it was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes. And some things, really need to be seen to be believing, so that people can believe more thoroughly.

Spells of various attributes are actually equivalent to legal attacks, and it's okay to deal with monsters with entities, but the most important thing is to deal with ghosts and monsters without entities. Even if they hide their bodies, they are still in this water prison, and it is difficult to force them out with such a wide range of attacks and flames that can hurt them.

Lin Xi had no intention of hurting them, he just wanted to give them a ride, but at this point, he had to do so.

Fortunately, they are not fragile enough to be burned by the fire, but they can't help but burn and appear empty.

Even if he had expected it, Lin Xi was still a little frightened when he saw the hundreds of ghosts that were mostly crowded together and only vaguely outlined. After making sure that the ghost's side was safe and sound, Lin Xicai's sword fell, and the peachwood sword in one hand and the guide talisman in the other, sent these ghosts to the ghost world one by one.

There were too many ghosts, and it wasn't until the familiar piano sounded that Lin Xi suddenly realized that the ghost was still alone by the door. At the moment, he didn't care about the ghosts who gradually disappeared after the flames were extinguished, so he immediately turned around and flew back to the door, sending away the few little ghosts who were haunted by the ghosts one by one.

It didn't hurt that Wei Mei could treat herself, but the cold invaded and her face was pale, her hair was scattered, and her clothes were stained with dark red bloody handprints.

Without saying a word, he wasted another coat, and then tied his hair back with a headband.

He was fine, but the ghosts who had just been forced out by the flames had disappeared again, and they were afraid that they all knew that the flames could not completely persecute them, and there was a certain time limit, so it would definitely be even more difficult to force them out.

Both of them don't want to really hurt them, so at this time, you can only look at me and I don't know what to say.

After half a ring, Lin Xicai sighed and said, "Otherwise, let's give up, I'll ask someone with a higher level of Taoism to help, and the money will be earned again." ”

Wei Mei still nodded from her: "Well, you decide." ”

Sighing again, Lin Xi was about to bypass him to uncover the spell, but he was stunned when he just raised his foot, and looked at the door blankly.

Seeing this, Wei Mei couldn't help but look back, and after seeing some familiar figures, one green and one white, he also paused slightly, and then stood up and asked what Lin Xi wanted to ask: "Why did you come?" ”

It was exactly what both of them had seen, the blue-faced ghost and the silver-faced ghost in the ghost world.

The two ghosts couldn't help but be a little surprised when they saw them, and then the blue-faced ghost said: "There are suddenly some souls of unknown origin in the underworld, and we were ordered to come here to see what is wrong." ”

After speaking, he glanced at the peachwood sword and charm in Lin Xi's hand again, and then said, "I think it's the two of you're doing, thank you." ”

Thanks a lot? Lin Xi smiled embarrassedly: "It's nothing, it's just a gesture." I'd like to ask you two to bring the remaining ghosts back to the ghost world. ”

The blue-faced ghost bowed slightly: "It's a matter of duty." ”

Immediately, the two ghosts floated to the center of the water prison, each took out a palm-sized cloth bag and opened it to both sides, and then saw white shadows being sucked into the bag, and the unwilling wailing and sobbing only stopped in the blink of an eye.

Sure enough, the ghosts who are still in this line of work are more suitable for this kind of errand, and they don't need to work hard and don't hurt those ghosts in the slightest, so they can be said to take them back to the underworld and send them on their way.

After collecting the ghosts, the two ghosts did not leave there, but returned to the top of the stairs.

"If you don't want to be entangled in a wave of resentment in the future, find out why these hundreds of people died here, and give them justice in the right way." The blue-faced ghost said lightly, "If you don't want to be reconciled, and would rather live with these grievances, then forget about the things here and leave." ”

After finishing speaking, the two ghosts waved their hands, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Ding-dong! Successfully complete the quest - the haunting of the underground dungeon and take on the side quest - the secret of the dungeon! ”

Really came and went in a hurry, listening to the system prompt ringing in his ears, Lin Xi was stunned for a moment before he said, "Let's go out first." ”

Although the ghosts of this water dungeon have been taken away, and there is no longer a cold atmosphere, anyone will be uncomfortable if they stay underground for a long time, and Wei Mei didn't say much and went out with her.

The yacha did not wait outside, but hid in fear at the entrance on the ground and waited tremblingly, and when he saw the two of them coming up, he was first happy, and then asked nervously: "Two heroes, are you safe in the water prison?" ”

Lin Xi was about to answer, but he thought of something and withdrew his words, and asked instead: "They are too cunning, they have been hiding and not appearing, and we can't help them." ”

"Huh?" Yacha's face turned white suddenly, and he said in a panic: "How is this good, no, I will go and tell the lord." ”

"Wait." Lin Xi hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab him, "Don't worry, I re-attached two charms to suppress them, there is no danger for the time being." ”

Only then did the yacha put his mind at ease: "That's good, that's good." ”

"Actually," Lin Xi glanced at the ghost, asked him to keep silent for a while, and then continued: "It's not difficult to deal with them, but you need to find the source of death, and then if you fulfill their wishes, you will obediently go to the underworld to be reincarnated." ”

"Ahh That's not going to work! After Yacha finished speaking, he covered his mouth, and said with a wandering look: "Since you can't deal with it, please leave, I'll go and tell the lord, and then invite a Taoist priest who is more deeply cultivated." ”

Then he no longer gave Lin Xi a chance to continue asking, and after pushing the two out of the dungeon, he hurriedly ran away.

Looking at his back, Lin Xi couldn't help but smile: "Sure enough, there are ghosts." ”

The charm looked at her with strange eyes, and then said, "It's getting better and better." ”

Lin Xi shrugged: "People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves." ”

"......" Wei Mei turned her head to look away, hiding the smile in her eyes very well.

"Don't be stunned here, go and eavesdrop." Lin Xi cast a spell and stood up, and after pulling him on the sword neatly, he quickly followed the yacha who ran to the inner hall of the official mansion.

I don't know if the adult is too stupid or what, after hearing the yacha repeat Lin Xi's words, he said anxiously: "Resolutely can't let this matter leak out, go and burn the records of that year, block the mouths of all insiders, if there is any leakage, the official will be the first to kill you!" ”

Yacha's face turned white with fright, and after answering the silence, he bent down and retreated.

Now the two of them didn't need to make much effort at all, and after following him to get the so-called record, and after a little torture, they learned the ins and outs of the whole thing.

And it wasn't until the yacha was so frightened that he crawled out of sight that the two of them recovered from their heavy hearts, although they knew that everything was fake, they still couldn't help but feel very unbearable.

The hundreds of people who died in the water prison were not guilty, but ordinary people, and they were all from the same village. Just because a plague started in their village, the whole village was infected and it was easy to spread the plague to others, so the government put them all in a water prison, and they died one after another after half a month without water. Because they felt that even if they died, there would be a plague, the government did not help collect the corpses and bury them, but simply sealed the water prison, and it was not until the haunting that it was reopened to invite people to exorcise the ghosts.

"If I knew that this was the case, I would have just let them out to harm people, anyway, they would definitely only harm a bunch of scum here." Lin Xi said angrily, but in an instant, she sighed again: "But the blue-faced ghost said that it must be solved in the right way, that is to say, it can't be careless of human life, so what should I do?" ”

Wei Mei glanced at her and said, "It's very simple, collect evidence and report it to the imperial court, there will always be a bigger official than him to clean him up." ”

Hearing this, Lin Xi couldn't cry or laugh, but he didn't expect that playing a game would have a chance to report to the official to investigate the case, which was a little fun and a little weak.

After shaking her head, she got up and said, "Then let's go, get the mission reward first, and then go collect evidence." Anyway, if you don't take it for nothing, it's best to take more. ”

Wei Mei was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that the bounty task was completed, and in such a situation, they had deceived the yacha and the adult, and they really didn't know what to say.

While he was thinking about it, Lin Xi had already risen into the air with the imperial sword, and then realized that he hadn't followed, so he fell down and pulled him over: "Don't be stunned, don't even think about getting a tael of silver when they find out." ”

As soon as Wei Mei stood firm, as if he had thought of something, he raised his hand to summon the golden wolf and silently changed his position before saying, "Let's go." ”
