My brother and I returned to the bottom of the Immortal Pagoda again, searched for a long time, and sure enough, we found the entrance to another tower.

Senior brother was incredulous, or out of anger, he raised his foot and wanted to go in, I grabbed him, and said helplessly: "Senior brother, this tower has been buried in the ground for fifty years, and I don't know how much poisonous gas has accumulated in it. ”

The senior brother glanced at the entrance of the cave that could only allow one person to pass through, retreated, and sat on the side, looking preoccupied.

"Scarlet, if you really find the bones of Princess Hanji at the bottom of the tower, what are you going to do?" The senior brother finally asked.

"Senior brother, let me ask you first, do you think the bones of Princess Hanji should be locked up in the Tenth Demon Tower?"

"Of course not."

The senior brother replied without thinking.

Hearing this, I curled my lips and said, "In this way, once the bones of Princess Hanji are found under this tower, I will naturally do my best to rescue her." ”

"Rescued?"

The senior brother asked rhetorically, and showed a worried look again.

I knew what he was thinking, so I comforted: "Don't worry, even if Princess Hanji has a lot of grievances, I have a way to resolve it, and I won't let her hurt the people of the royal city." ”

The senior brother snorted, lowered his head and said gloomily: "Actually, I really don't understand what Princess Hanji is complaining about, and what the king is afraid of." ”

"When the Seven Kings got up, they made an agreement that the first to attack Shengjing was the future Son of Heaven, but unfortunately King Qin Weiying did not accept the king, and the palace rebelled, even if he was captured and killed, it was reasonable, and the king remembered the affection of a mother's compatriots, and instead of pursuing the guilt of Princess Hanji, he left her life......"

"They are brothers and sisters, brothers and sisters, the king has always taken care of her a lot, if Princess Hanji is really dissatisfied with the king because of the matter of protecting the baby, why should she reach the point of resentment?"

He frowned, and continued: "And the king, if you really care about the brotherhood with Princess Hanji, how can you build the Immortal Tower here in the future, so that Princess Hanji's resentful soul can't see the light of day." ”

"Senior brother." I replied faintly, "Do you remember the story of the princess and the thief?" ”

Senior Brother nodded, and I said, "Perhaps, by changing the position of the protagonist in the story, you can understand why they have fallen to this point." ”

"Change of location?" Senior brother obviously didn't quite understand, so I hummed and heard him ask, "What do you mean?" ”

Seeing that he still didn't react, I smiled helplessly, and could only say: "This story is very long, I'll tell you when I have a chance to tell you later." ”

I got up, lit a fire, and threw it from the entrance, and the flame fell to the bottom of the tower, and it was not extinguished.

So, he stood up and said, "Go in." ”

We walked along the stairs of the 10th Demon Tower for a long time, because this tower had been buried in the ground for too long, and the water vapor invaded and condensed, so that the stairs were wet and slippery, and it was very difficult to walk.

The senior brother helped me, step by step, and walked down cautiously, and the sound of dripping water came from time to time around me, and there were bursts of heat from the bottom, which was mixed with the smell of decay.

When he reached the bottom floor, the senior brother first coughed a few times, and due to the thin underground air, the fire in his hand was quickly extinguished, and the senior brother took out another one and worked hard for a long time before it was ignited again.

Like the Immortal Pagoda on the upper floor, there is also a circle of permanent lanterns here, but due to the lack of air, they have long been extinguished, and the senior brother re-lit them in order to see the surrounding things clearly.

When he saw the bottom things clearly, the senior brother was speechless in shock for a while: "This ......"

A pair of corpses, hanging at the bottom of the tower, crisscrossed by hundreds of red lines, with Jin Ling hanging on the line, and also covered with dust, so it looked dusty.

The walls, and on the ground where we landed, were painted with all sorts of charms, crimson colors, and between the strokes, there was a strange one, needless to say, some terrible curse.

The skeleton, with her hands raised and in a kneeling position, was bound by red thread, and under her, there were trails of blood, zigzag and winding, all the way to our feet.

Wearing a purple dress, through the dust, you can still see the exquisite flower pattern, her hair is very long, up to the ankles, and the accessories on her body, gold, silver and jade, are also the style of the royal family.

I can imagine the pain she suffered before she died, bound by the red thread, watching her own blood flow over the ground beneath her feet and into a blood curse designed to suppress resentful spirits.

I closed my eyes and tightened my fingers hidden in my sleeves, trying to restrain an emotion called 'anger'.

But I heard the senior brother say: "It's too much! ”

He raised his feet and wanted to walk over, but I grabbed him, lowered my head, looked at the charm on the ground, and said, "Don't go over." ”

"There is a blood curse here, if we don't unravel it first, the two of us are afraid that we will die here."

The senior brother looked at the surrounding charms, which were strangely shaped, even the layman looked at them, all of them were full of murderous aura, and couldn't help but worry: "These things, they don't look simple......

I hummed and smiled again: "That's why you came with me, if not, I would have solved it myself." ”

"Me?"

The senior brother was puzzled for a while: "What can I do for you?" ”

I took out the jade flute in my hand and replied lightly: "Look at me, if I have something wrong, knock me unconscious, if you still can't stop it, you can kill me." ”

Senior brother was taken aback by me: "Is it so serious?" ”

I didn't answer, straightened my clothes, knelt down, looked solemn, and bowed deeply three times to the bones.

Lying on the ground with his hand on the ground, his forehead against the back of his hand, he said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I know that you are sealed in the tower, but I still let you suffer here, I am late." ”

My brother was frightened by my piety, after all, in his opinion, I have never known how to lift, and even rarely kneel and bow to the master.

For a moment, I knelt down like me, saluted the bones, and as a courtier, and as a junior, to bid farewell to this poor and poor princess.

I stood up and bit my index finger, but I heard my senior brother hold me with some hesitation: "Scarlet ......"

I looked up at him, curled my lips and smiled: "Don't worry, although the Changying Lin family's technique is powerful, if it weren't ......for me, it would ."

After a pause, he continued: "As long as you are careful, I don't care about this kind of difficulty. ”

First of all, I walked to the wall, scribbled the patterns with the blood stains on my fingertips, and then came to the murderous curse drawn on the ground, this fierce curse is the center of the entire magic circle, and it is also the eye of the array, so it is more tricky than other fierce curses, if I have not prepared in advance, or I have to rack my brains for several days to think of a way to break it.

My brother came to my side, and I pulled out the sword from his waist, slicing through my palm, and then clenched my fist and raised my hand, dripping blood into the veins of the curse.

He took a step back, put the jade flute to his lips, and played it slowly, with a breeze blowing around, and the Jin Ling, who had been silent for many years, hanging on the red line, also shook it.

I felt that the light around me was gradually dimming, and a mist was emerging from my body, rising above my head, and finally enveloping the space around me.

In her ears, Jin Ling's voice began to become distant, replaced by thin and fragmented human voices.

Male, female, old, young...... It was as if there were hundreds of people, whispering, and then realizing what I was doing, and screaming in panic, and the wails of grief and pain filled my ears, like a flood of beasts, and instantly drowned me in it.

They hovered in mid-air, stretching out their tentacles formed by the black mist, tearing at my body as if they were being banished.

I frowned in pain, distracted by the sight before me, and closed my eyes and continued to play the music with my feelings, trying to suppress them.

Headaches, earaches, and the whole body seemed to have been torn into countless pieces by them, but the eyes, although closed, seemed to be incomparably clear.

A bright moon, hanging in the sky, the first thing that appears in front of you is a mansion, the yard is very large, there are osmanthus trees planted in it, in the moonlight, forming a mottled black shadow.

The mansion was built magnificently, but the walls were so high that the cornices hung overhead, and it was so cold that it seemed that it was difficult for even a bird to fly out.

Hundreds of rooms, silent in the dark, not a single door or window let in the light, I stood in the doorway, looking at the whole mansion, as if I were facing a terrible monster.

On the ground, there were corpses lying on the ground, they were dying in different ways, but the blood stains were connected together, obviously the blood had not yet coagulated, but I felt that they had been dead for a long, long time......

Dead silence, still dead silence, without a trace of the breath of the living, maddening, suffocating......

I subconsciously took a step back to escape, but when I turned around, I saw that they were all standing behind me.

Speechless, silent, not even the slightest movement of their clothes, they looked at me, silently, with a solemn look.

When they saw that I refused, they burst into tears, stretched out their hands to me, and wept one after another—

"Tan'er, Tan'er......"

They kept calling my name, like a weeping mother calling out to a child who had left home in a bad mood.

lest I abandon them, the eyes of deep supplication freeze me in the same place, and there is no escape, and there is nowhere to escape......

"Scarlet, scarlet ......"

Just when I couldn't stand the torture and almost put down the jade flute and shouted, my brother's voice instantly pulled me back to reality.

His tone sounded very urgent, and I could imagine what a terrible monster he saw in his eyes at this time.

But the spell had reached a critical juncture, and it was impossible to stop now, so I could only pinch the hole of the jade flute and continue to play.

My body had reached the limit of what it could bear, and the spell was nearing its end, and I felt the strength I had left was being withdrawn from my body.

Eventually, there was a heavy blow in my back, and I heard the last note fall in my ears and I fainted.
