Chapter Twenty-Five: The Lock Demon Tower
"He seems to be the sword saint uncle of Shushan, but I haven't seen me for many years and I am not impressed, we are rushing to Shushan now, if he is really the sword saint uncle, he will definitely not embarrass Ling'er's sister." Lin Yueru said.
"Juggernaut? I kept Ling'er with me, but I didn't expect to be captured by the Sword Master. Hong Wu thought to himself, but fortunately, Ling'er was captured by the Sword Saint at least not in danger of life, if he was captured by the moon, it would be troublesome.
"Okay, let's go to Shushan immediately." Hong Wu turned the Xingchen Sword into the size of a door panel, and rushed to Shushan with Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru.
"Brother Hong, can you teach me the sword technique?" Li Xiaoyao is very eager to be able to fly with a sword like Hongwu and come and go freely.
"You can't fly with your sword yet, when you complete your cultivation of the Nine Yang True Sutra, you can liquefy your true qi into true yuan." Hong Wu probed Li Xiaoyao's skills and said.
"I must practice hard." Li Xiaoyao is looking forward to it, Lin Yueru's eyes are also bright, if Li Xiaoyao learns to fly with the sword, he can take her to the sky and be a pair of fairy couples.
Hongwu Longyuan was pure and profound, and he only rested once on the way, and it took less than an hour and a half to reach Shushan.
"This senior brother, I am Lin Yueru, the daughter of Lin Tiannan of Lin Jiabao, and I have come to meet Uncle Sword Saint, and I hope that Senior Brother will report it." Lin Yueru reported that her father Lin Tiannan and the Sword Saint were old acquaintances, and the Shushan disciple who guarded the mountain immediately became respectful when he heard Lin Tiannan's name and attitude.
Before the reported disciple returned, he saw a large gourd flying from a distance.
"Master! Master! Li Xiaoyao shouted happily, if the Wine Sword Immortal was willing to help, they would have a lot less trouble.
"Stinky boy, what are you doing in Shushan?" The wine sword fairy lowered the wine gourd and said.
"Senior of the Wine Sword Immortal, Ling'er was captured by the Sword Saint." Hong Wu told Jiu Jian Xian the reason for the incident.
"Oh no, senior brother must think that Ling'er is a monster, if Ling'er is imprisoned in the lock demon tower by him, it will be troublesome." The Wine Sword Immortal immediately flew towards the back mountain, and Hong Wu immediately followed. Before they reached the Lock Demon Tower, the two saw the Sword Saint coming from the back mountain.
The Sword Saint is a senior in the rivers and lakes, Hong Wu couldn't help but didn't step forward to question, and the Wine Sword Immortal stepped forward and asked, "Senior brother, what happened to Ling'er?" β
"Which Ling'er?" Juggernaut asked.
"The one you caught in Chang'an City?"
"Oh! The snake demon that my junior brother said, I have already imprisoned her in the Lock Demon Tower. The Sword Saint said with a normal expression.
"Senior brother is confused! Ling'er is Qing'er's daughter, Nuwa's descendant! The Wine Sword Immortal said anxiously.
"How so? I see he's killed so many humans! The Juggernaut's eyelids jumped.
"I killed those people." Hong Wu told the ins and outs of the future.
"Is that so? Isn't thatβ" The Sword Master was speechless.
"I'm going to go in and save her." Hongwu walked towards the back mountain. The Wine Sword Immortal grabbed him and said, "No, there are many dangers in the Lock Demon Tower, and there is no return!" β
"Don't stop me, I can't let Ling'er stay inside and suffer." Hong Wu was unhappy in his heart, and the Sword Saint actually locked Ling'er in the Lock Demon Tower. Although he didn't know Ling'er's identity, Ling'er was so simple and kind, couldn't he see it?
"Brother Hong, let's go with you to save Ling'er." Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru caught up and said.
"The Lock Demon Tower is too dangerous, don't follow the two of you if your skills are too low." Hong Wu remembered that Lin Yueru died in the lock demon tower in the original book, and he didn't want the tragedy to happen again.
"Brother Hong. I have always treated Miss Ling'er as my own sister, and now that she is in trouble, I can't stand idly by, besides, Brother Hong, you have also helped me a lot, and you have also passed on my martial arts. Li Xiaoyao said sincerely.
"Xiaoyao, now is not the time to be rash, think about the consequences of everything. If one of you and Yueru encounters an accident, what kind of mood will the other have, and can you accept this blow? Hong Wu said in a deep voice, his voice like a drum, hitting Li Xiaoyao's heart.
Li Xiaoyao couldn't help but think about what would happen to Yueru if something happened to him. Suddenly, he shouted, "No! Yueru, you can't leave me. β
"Brother Xiaoyao, I won't leave you." Yueru heard Li Xiaoyao's words. A smile bloomed on his face.
Li Xiaoyao thought of the consequences, and was afraid for a while, he hesitated in his heart, what Hongwu said was indeed right.
"Brother Hong, let's think about it in the long run! If something happens to you, what will happen to Sister Ling'er? Li Xiaoyao persuaded him.
"Ling'er doesn't know whether she lives or dies in the lock demon tower, if she goes to save her a little later, she will be more dangerous, and I must save her." Hong Wu didn't look back, and walked towards the Lock Demon Tower.
"Brother Hong." Li Xiaoyao wanted to keep up, but was stopped by the wine sword fairy.
"Your eldest brother Hong is strong, he will definitely be able to rescue Ling'er, you come to Shushan this time, I can just teach you other moves of swordsmanship." Jiu Jian Immortal didn't want Li Xiaoyao to die, Li Xiaoyao struggled in his heart for a while, he glanced at Lin Yueru, and finally stopped.
"Brother Hong, you must not have anything to do, you must rescue Sister Ling'er!" Li Xiaoyao shouted in his heart.
The Lock Demon Tower is an ancient artifact that contains powerful power of the five elements and Buddha power, and the demons and monsters who are imprisoned in it cannot escape at all.
It has seven floors, the lower six floors are buried in the earth, only the seventh layer is on the ground, and its structure is different from that of ordinary towers, with the entrance at the top, which is the seventh floor.
The whole body of the lock demon tower is green and yellow, it looks unusually simple, although there are six layers buried in the ground, but there are still eight thick iron chains to tie it, and a glimmer of light flashes on the iron chain from time to time, which is obviously not an ordinary thing.
The gate at the entrance was in the shape of a taiji diagram, made of black and white boulders, and Hong Wu studied it carefully for a while, but he still couldn't open it.
"If you can't do it softly, you can only come with a hard one." Hong Wu took out the Sky Hammer and prepared to smash the gate and force himself into the Lock Demon Tower.
"Xiao Wu, you can't unlock the lock demon tower like this." I don't know when, the Sword Master has already come behind Hong Wu.
"Then how do you get into the Lock Demon Tower?" Hong Wu didn't have a good face for the Sword Saint, if Ling'er had three longs and two shorts, Hong Wu would have to pay the price.
The Sword Saint sighed, he knew that he was at a loss but didn't know what to say, he pinched a few hands of the spiritual technique, and the two rays of light did not enter the fish eyes of the Taiji Yin Yang Fish, and the black and white gate suddenly gave birth to a huge suction, so big that even Hong Wu couldn't resist and was sucked in.
With a flash of light, Hong Wu appeared on the seventh floor of the Lock Demon Tower, which was a huge cylindrical space with many stone pillars and stone platforms distributed in regular shape, and many runes were engraved on the ground, ceiling and surrounding circular walls, but he didn't see a single demon and monster.
Hong Wu walked around, did not find the way to the next layer, he now, there is a cyan altar on each stone platform, most of the jars are pasted with a rune paper on the seal, only a small part of the none, and those stone pillars are engraved with a lot of insects, fish, birds and beasts, lifelike.
"Where the hell is the entrance to the sixth floor?" Hong Wu only knew a little about the formation, but he was not proficient, he stomped his foot fiercely, venting the feelings in his heart.
Hong Wu's strength was so great, this kick made the entire space tremble slightly, as if a stone was thrown on the surface of a calm lake, and it rippled in an instant.
The green altars on the stone platform that did not have talisman paper trembled one after another, and wisps of green smoke came out of it, condensing into phantoms.
"It turns out that those jars are full of ghosts." Hong Wu said in his heart.
The pillars also began to glow black, and the reliefs on them slowly began to come to life, and they writhed and struggled, as if trying to break free from the pillars, and in the end, only a tenth of the reliefs managed to break free.
Hong Wu looked at the dozens of powerful ghosts and twenty or thirty monsters in front of him, and his face was not shocked, as if the people in front of him were ordinary people.
The strength of these demons and monsters is average, but there are a lot of them, it is too wasteful of time to kill them, Hongwu no longer restrained his breath, and completely released it, these monsters and ghosts felt the breath of the dragon and scattered in fear, and all the ghosts returned to the green altar, and the monsters also crashed towards the stone pillar one by one.
Hong Wu's figure flashed, grabbed a mantis monster, pinched his slender neck, and asked, "How to get to the next layer?" β
The mantis monster didn't dare to resist in the slightest, and said truthfully, as long as Hong Wu stood on the stone platform in the center, and then the demons activated the formation to teleport him down.
"Why don't you go to the next floor?" Hong Wu asked.
"The more we go down, the more powerful it becomes, we will die if we go down!" The mantis monster's bulging eyes looked pitifully at Hong Wu.
Hong Wu threw the mantis monster aside, walked on the stone platform in the center, the demons on the stone pillar moved the formation, the light on the stone platform flashed, and Hong Wu disappeared on the seventh layer.
"Finally sent this evil star away." The mantis monster breathed a sigh of relief, and the murderous aura that Hong Wu revealed made him tremble.
The situation on the second floor is similar to that of the first, except that the number of youkai is significantly less, and there are four more statues than the first layer, three of which are wrapped in dark iron chains and pasted with rune paper, and the other one has nothing.
Hong Wu stomped his feet like the previous time, but the whole space did not change, he stomped his feet hard, and the ground on the second floor shook slightly, but it still did not change, it was very quiet.
Hong Wu's heart was on fire, and he used the Dragon Yin Gong, like a thunder out of thin air, spreading back and forth in this closed space, adding to the power of the Dragon Yin Gong.
"Who's shouting?" A rough voice rang out, and the statue on the east side, which was not chained or affixed with talisman paper, had somehow come back to life.
This is a bull demon, with a bull head and a human body, nearly three meters tall, with bronze muscles and knots, as if made of steel, and with his roar, a third of the reliefs on the stone pillar come to life, turning into all kinds of monsters.
