Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Test of Life and Death in the Ghost Furnace

The phoenix stood on the octagonal pavilion of the hanging garden and let out a long roar, and a dazzling fire suddenly burst out of the pavilion. The fire faded away, and the figure of the Yellow Emperor appeared out of thin air. Glaze immediately replied respectfully: "See Your Majesty." The Demon Qi King has been captured. ā€

The Yellow Emperor glanced at the Demon Qi King Langya coldly, looked at Langya's body covered with the unique Gu poison of the Wu Clan, and then looked at the glaze annihilation standing on one side, and nodded with satisfaction. The Yellow Emperor waved his hand to signal the glaze to retreat.

Glaze Yan clasped his fists and said: "I also found two negatives in Huaxu. He fell to the ground covered in blood, and I brought him back. Don't know how to send it? ā€

"Is his mission complete?"

Glaze shook his head and said, "No." ā€

"Then throw him in the Hanging Nursery." The Yellow Emperor said impatiently, and the glaze replied yes, then glanced at Langya and left.

The Yellow Emperor looked at Langya with a half-mask rather interestingly, "Do you remember that last time you were also held here by my people, begging me to let you go?" ā€

"When did my Demon Qi King beg you?" Langya said in his father's tone, "You're not worthy!" ā€

"Demon Qi King, Demon Qi King, it seems that the thousands of years in the ghost furnace have not worn off your edges and corners!" The Yellow Emperor lay on his side interestingly, and said lazily, "What if I put you in the Ghost Furnace again?" ā€

Langya's mind suddenly flashed the image of his father screaming in the ghost furnace, and his shoulders couldn't help but tremble.

"Looks like you still remember. Scared, right? ā€

"I never know what it means to be afraid! I was able to escape from your furnace back then, and now I can too, I think you should be the one to be afraid! Your so-called ghost furnace that no one can break, isn't it still broken by me? In my eyes, it's a tickling tool! Not to be outdone, Langya replied.

The Yellow Emperor smiled and held back the nameless anger in his heart. "So be it. Let me see how you managed to escape my furnace in the first place. The Yellow Emperor said coldly, but the hanging garden behind him suddenly burst into a huge whirlpool. The lotus leaves and lotus flowers swirl in the water waves, and even the fish are not spared.

"But I also want to warn you. Today's furnace is not the furnace of thousands of years ago. For you, Demon Qi King, I've added a lot of things to it. While you can reminisce about what was once familiar, there is also a lot of freshness. The Yellow Emperor laughed presumptuously, "Let me see how you get out of the prison I have tailored for you for thousands of years!" ā€

Before Langya could see what was going on, a fire suddenly broke out under him. In the blink of an eye, the flames swept Langya's whole person and disappeared in front of the Yellow Emperor, and the whirlpool behind him returned to calm in an instant. The Yellow Emperor stood with his hands in his hands, quietly admiring the small fish that came and went freely in the water, and the delicate red ferns, as if nothing had happened.

Glaze hid to the side with a breathless voice, and a pair of hands tightly covered his mouth that had grown out of surprise. The frightened eyes silently shed a crystal tear.

According to the rumors, he dragged the hanging prison door and kept shouting: "Langya? Langya, is that your voice? ā€

There was silence all around, and there was no response.

"Langya? Is there anybody? Let me out! ā€

"Don't scream anymore! You're just going to startle the snake. The Yellow Emperor had no idea you were here. If he finds out, there's no way I can guarantee your safety. Gao Xing came to the wind, his clothes fluttered, and he tied a high bun with the green dragon Panshan.

"Gao Xing." Yi Yu shouted anxiously, "Did you hear anything?" Is it Langya's? ā€

"This is a water dungeon at the bottom of a hanging pond for 3,000 feet. Cut off from all contact with the outside world, how do you hear that? ā€

"I—I don't know...... In short, what you hear is what you hear! What happened to Langya, and what will the Yellow Emperor do to Langya? ā€

Gao Xing didn't ask, and said quietly, "The ghost furnace." Thousands of years ago, after the ghost furnace that no one could break was broken by the Demon Qi King, the Yellow Emperor has been haunted by it. Vowed to capture the Demon Qi King and put him in the Ghost Furnace to see if he could escape the Ghost Furnace that had been transformed. ā€

"The Ghost Furnace? Makeover? Looking at Gao Xing in confusion, no matter how you listen to it, it is not so easy to break through. What's more, the Demon Qi King back then was Langya's father, and the current Demon Qi King is not what the Yellow Emperor is looking for at all...... Langya, Langya, can you really do it?

"I believe in Langya." Yi Yu suddenly remembered Yi Ling's words earlier. Yes, trust is the most extravagant thing in the Great Wilderness. However, there are always those people that you can't help but trust. Langya, let me believe you this time! Yi Yu silently said to himself in his heart.

Gao Xing cast a spell and prepared to break the lock of the water prison, and said, "The Ghost Fire Furnace is the Yellow Emperor's demon refining pot. The surrounding area is made of the fragments left over from the Nuwa mending heavenly spar, which was cast in Shennong Ding for 7749 years. It can be large or small, and there is no limit to expansion and contraction. There are layers of levels arranged by the Yellow Emperor himself.

"There is a rumor in the Great Wilderness that no one knows the true face of the Ghost Furnace, because everyone who has seen it has been refined into blood by the Ghost Furnace. The more people, demons, demons, and witches who die in the Ghost Furnace, the stronger the skill of the Ghost Furnace. In order to lock up the Demon Qi King again, the Yellow Emperor not only re-cast the spell and set up the array, but also used a lot of demons, monsters, humans, gods and wizards to sacrifice the refining pot every year. It's inevitable. ā€

"No! Langya is not the opponent of the Yellow Emperor at all, he will not come out of the ghost furnace! Let go of me, I'm going to save Langya! Yi rumors impatiently tugged at the cell door.

"I'm going to let you out, but I'm not going to let you be stupid! All we do is to keep you, so you don't mess with us anymore! Otherwise, it will only be us who will be in trouble in the end! As soon as Gao Xing raised his hands, the prison door suddenly fell apart and shattered, "What's more, Langya has told me to take you away!" I have to give him an account. This is my principle of being a man! ā€

According to the rumors, he took two steps and ran out of the prison. However, because his body was too weak, he fell to the ground after not walking a few steps. Gao Xing hurriedly helped her, "Listen to me, go out first, and then save people!" With me here, I will do everything I can to save Langya's life. ā€

Yi Yu raised his watery eyes and looked at Gao Xing, "Why?" Why did you betray the Yellow Emperor who cared for you so much? Why did you betray yourself to be my father's undercover agent? Why do you have to fight against the forces of the Yellow Emperor for a person who is not related to you, or even notorious in the Great Wilderness? ā€

"You'll know someday, but not now." Gao Xing said that, and knocked out the rumor. He looked around, and the guards had already been separated by himself and the glaze. He quickly picked up the rumor and walked towards the secret tunnel.

After a while, Gao Xing walked out of the water with Yi Yu on his back. It's just that this shore is not a hanging garden, but another world of birds and flowers. Without the anger controlled by the Yellow Emperor, he couldn't even feel the breath of the Great Wilderness. Glaze Yan had been waiting here for a long time, and when he saw Gao Xing's figure, he hurriedly greeted him.

"I'll leave it to you." Gao Xing said.

Glaze Yan silently took Yi Yu and leaned into his arms, "Langya, get rid of you!" ā€

"Don't forget, let Chiyou know by the way. Otherwise, I don't know how long I'll last. ā€

Glaze Yan nodded, and disappeared at the same time as Gao Xing.

A leaf slowly falls, and everything is quiet like a dream.

Langya was swallowed by the phoenix fire and sank deeper and deeper in the whirlpool of water, suffocating breath, crowded air pressure, and scorching fire. He silently laughed at himself in his heart, it turned out that this was the dire situation. At least I can finally follow in my father's footsteps and feel the path that my father has also walked and the sins he has suffered.

Langya stretched out her hand as she thought about it, feeling the ferocity of the fire and the coldness of the water. The father with a long scar on his face came to mind. When he was injured, his father gently medicated himself like water. When he was lazy in his practice, he would scold himself as harshly as fire.

It's just that time is like smoke, and the blink of an eye is fleeting. What is the fear of death? Perhaps, it was a different world. Langya thought about it and slowly closed her eyes, her limbs spreading out at will. If you don't resist, you'll be burned to death, if you don't resist, you'll be drowned in water, and if you don't resist, you'll fall to your death, so die!

"If you want to die, I won't let you die so easily!" The voice of the Yellow Emperor suddenly sounded in Langya's ears.

Langya was startled, and his body was closed, but he landed steadily.

"What kind of tricks are you playing?" Langya roared.

"Rest assured, this is just the opening song to welcome you back. I didn't expect you to see death so detached, if you had struggled twice, you wouldn't have stood here a long time ago! The Yellow Emperor laughed arrogantly, "Next, let me see what kind of skills you have!" ā€

Langya frowned, clutched her chest, and staggered forward.

It turns out that this is the legendary ghost furnace, the ghost furnace that imprisoned my father for thousands of years! Langya looked around, except for the weird wall, Langya couldn't tell that this was the ghost furnace. However, it may just be a trick. Langya is vigilant that she must not take it lightly.

Langya stopped in front of a door, looked at the crooked writing on it, and was stunned for a moment. This is an ancient text that has long been lost by the Wu clan. Before he could learn from his father, his father passed away overwhelmed. Since then, even the elder-level people in the Wu clan no longer understand this ancient language.

"This is ......" Langya followed the torches on both sides of the door and looked carefully at the font on the door, "Dad?" ā€

Langya seemed to be able to see his father dragging his seriously injured body, filling his spiritual power with his own spiritual power to engrave this text with a dagger - the ghost furnace, burning wounds; Labyrinth walls, distracted; Qi embroidery, light desire.

Langya muttered silently, not understanding the deep meaning. The Yellow Emperor suddenly roared again: "Staring at the flashing white door, what are you doing in a daze? Don't think you're going to get away with it! ā€

Langya secretly rejoiced in his heart, his father's witchcraft covered up the words he engraved, how could you, the old man of the Yellow Emperor, understand? Who wins and who loses, we'll see! Thinking about it, Langya pushed it with both hands, and the door creaked open gorgeously. Langya walked in with her head held high without thinking......

The door slammed shut behind him, and from then on there was no way back!

King Demon Qi, you are doomed to lose this game! The Yellow Emperor held the black chess piece in his hand, looked at the endgame in front of him, and smiled slyly.
