Chapter Seventy-Two: Heavenly Hell
Heavenly Hell is a very special existence.
Unlike the Heavenly Prison, the Heavenly Prison was a prison set up in the Yandu and directly under the control of the imperial court, which was established from the ground upwards and was usually a place where felons were held.
The Heavenly Prison exists in the Imperial City, and there are no bricks or tiles on the ground, and there are unpredictable ghosts and gods under the ground! There are all kinds of prisoners in the Heavenly Prison, and there are all kinds of prisoners, and there is no such thing as heavy or light, but once you enter the Heavenly Prison, you should not expect to have a bright day.
If the prison is a hell on earth, then the hell is the real hell.
There is another theory, which is another legend.
Legend has it that there are two towers in Yanjing, guarding the safety of Yanjing, one of which is upward, for the bright tower, and the other downward, for the dark tower. The Ming Tower is known to the whole world, that is, the Sword Pavilion, but few people know about the Dark Tower, which actually refers to the Heavenly Hell.
It is said that in the Heavenly Prison, not only are there many special prisoners, but in fact, the greater role is to hold some secrets, and the people who guard this place are all strong in martial arts, and such people are even willing to become a jailer, which shows how important the secrets hidden in the Heavenly Prison are.
At this time, Chu Qing took Lin Qi and came to a remote mansion in the imperial city.
Even at this time, Chu Qing's head was still in chaos, this man who suddenly broke into Qingyun Yuan and knocked himself unconscious, not only suddenly became friends with the little princess, but now the little princess even forced herself to help him, and the thing that helped him turned out to be a place like Heavenly Hell.
Chu Qing even wondered if the little princess was bewitched by this person's spell.
Although I don't know what the origin of this person is, in Chu Qing's opinion, the person who can avoid the eyes of countless guards, and then break into Qingyun Yuan, or even talk about the person he knocked down in an instant, is definitely not an ordinary character from the perspective of cultivation.
However, Chu Qing still felt that it was because of his light enemy that the other party could succeed in one blow, otherwise with his own ability, he would definitely not be able to defeat himself so easily, after all, he was also one of the top guards in the palace!
But if Chu Qing knew that Lin Qi didn't look at his hand at all, then he didn't know how he would feel.
In order to sneak into the heavenly prison, Lin Qi is now tied up, the rope is tied very tightly, and ordinary people will never be able to break free, but that is for ordinary people.
At this time, Lin Qi's eyes lit up, and he suddenly felt several murderous aura, and locked the two of them at the same time in an instant, and at the same time, Chu Qing took Lin Qi and stopped his steps.
Chu Qing has also been to Heavenly Hell several times, and naturally he has felt the same atmosphere, and every opportunity has a feeling that makes people feel like a man, and he has always hated this feeling.
Suddenly, two figures fell from the sky and landed in front of Chu Qing and Lin Qi.
Lin Qi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked carefully, only to see that the two of them were dressed in black robes, covered with cloaks, and only half of their faces were exposed.
In places like the prison cell, anger and resentment are naturally the highest.
"Who?"
Someone came to the ground and asked, his voice was hoarse, and his speech was cold, like a ghost.
Although Chu Qing was young, he was also well-informed and somewhat knowledgeable, so he calmed down at this time and did not speak, but took out a wooden card from his waist in a decent manner.
The wooden plate is vermilion, the edge of the golden hairpin, and four big characters are written on it, the imperial guard!
Compared with the imperial guards, the imperial guards are a higher level, they usually protect the emperor and the closest people around him, they are personally ordered by the emperor of the Dahua Dynasty, under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor, free access to the imperial city, see the official level, can even be cut first and then played, can be regarded as the most powerful guards, but these people, usually to protect the emperor for glory, is the power of dung, no one can win them over, this is the most valuable!
Seeing the waist card, the comers immediately fell silent, even if they were the gatekeepers of the Heavenly Hell, they had no right to ask any of the actions of the Imperial Heavenly Guards, because the only one who could make them open their mouths was the emperor of the Dahua Dynasty in the whole world.
However, the Heavenly Hell is an incomparably special place in the Imperial City, even if it is the Imperial Heavenly Guard, they cannot easily step into it, and they will never be allowed unless they have a royal warrant.
Seeing that the other party was silent, Chu Qing knew that the other party was a little jealous of his identity, and his mind finally calmed down for a while, at this time, he put away the waist card, and then unhurriedly took out another brand from his arms, held it in his hand, and shook it at the two people in front of him.
This is a piece of pure gold made of waist card, even in this bleak night is also shining, no matter the texture or workmanship, how to look like a mortal product, but with the powerful, is the waist card engraved on the text.
On the front, Princess Qingyang is engraved, and on the back, it is engraved with Ru I am here!
"I'm going to go to hell, let's make it easier!"
After saying this, Chu Qing didn't say much, because it was enough to say this, and more importantly, it was actually these two waist cards.
The two black-robed men glanced at each other, then got out of the way at the same time, and took a step back, at this time, one of them turned around and made a few strange gestures in the distance, and after that, the murderous aura that stared at the two people suddenly disappeared.
Immediately after, I heard a soft click, which seemed to come from the bluestone slab ground in front of the two of them.
At this time, the bluestone slab ground, suddenly cracked a gap from the middle, and then a number of blue light shot out of the gap, with the light click sound, the gap of the bluestone slab is getting bigger and bigger, and then there is a cloud of white mist, from the gap continues to float out.
After waiting for a while, the white mist gradually dissipated, and the gap had opened to the maximum, revealing the hole inside, but at this time, on the wall in the hole, the lights were instantly lit, and then spread out one by one, and in a blink of an eye, it illuminated a stone step in the hole.
This is the entrance to the Heavenly Hell, the place in the Imperial City that is said to be called the Ghost Gate!
No one stopped him, and no one guided him, Chu Qing knew the rules, so he pulled Lin Qi by the hand, and walked in front at the moment, Lin Qi looked around, and then looked at the black-robed guards on both sides, and then followed.
The two of them walked down the stairs, I don't know how many Deng stairs they went down, but they felt that their bodies were getting colder and colder, and just when the two of them were surrounded by an incomparably terrifying sense of isolation, a huge stone gate suddenly came into view!
On the stone door, there is a strange pattern carved into it, which looks like a headless man, holding a huge battle axe in his hand, this person has a strange printing machine tattooed on his body, and even more strangely, above his chest, there are two things that seem to have eyes.
I don't know why, every time I see this picture, Chu Qing's heart has a feeling as if it is about to be swallowed, he only feels that his back is cold, his heart is pounding, the two tremble, and he almost wants to fall, if this is a person who is not strong-willed, he is afraid that he will turn around and flee in an instant.
"This is Xingtian!"
Lin Qi drank softly, hitting Chu Qing's heart, Chu Qing's heart was shocked, his eyes flashed in a trance, and the Shentai suddenly became much clearer.
Chu Qing was dumbfounded, he looked back at Lin Qi, nodded, and thanked the other party for his kindness.
"From here, you have to be careful, I don't know how many floors I can take you down, but every floor can be described as difficult, although I shouldn't help you, but you are a friend of the little princess, although my Chu Qing's cultivation is not as good as you, but once something happens, I will definitely protect you!"
Everyone in the palace knew how difficult it was to change the promise of the Imperial Guards.
As soon as Chu Qing's words fell, he heard a loud click from the giant door in front of him, and then the stone door slowly opened, and it was finally the moment to step into the heavenly hell!
Before he saw anything, there was a pungent fishy smell coming to his face, Lin Qi frowned slightly, and quickly held his breath, while Chu Qing was directly pushed away by the fishy smell!
At this time, footsteps sounded, and through the open stone door, the two saw a man approaching.
This person is tall and large, with a broad body and a round waist, and the huge stone gate cannot be fitted, and all the neck and above are blocked. He was bare-chested and bare-chested, with a round belly, a belt around his waist was covered with all kinds of cruel torture instruments, and two tattered leather boots under his feet dragged out two intermittent dark red blood marks, and the fishy smell also emanated from his body normally.
Chu Qing covered his mouth and nose, and first showed his waist card, this kind of place, he really didn't want to stay for a moment.
The man held on to the doorframe and bent his head down, revealing his ugly face.
"To stay?"
"Don't stay, down!"
Asking whether to stay or not is to stay at this level, and what Chu Qing said is to go down to the next level.
It is rumored that there are a total of nine layers in the Dark Tower Heavenly Prison, and each layer is guarded by a jailer, these jailers have different personalities, different abilities, and are in charge of different areas, and they do not control each other, and they do not interact with each other, and in their world, it seems that only the people and things on their own level are their everything.
Hearing Chu Qing say this, the ugly giant showed a somewhat disappointed expression, but these jailers abide by their duties more than anyone else, as long as they are other people's prisoners, they will never ask again.
Sure enough, the ugly giant got out of the way, and Chu Qing also pulled up Lin Qi and walked as if he was about to be amnesty, and as if the soles of his feet were windy, he walked like flying, and in a blink of an eye, he came to the ladder to the next time.
However, the stairs on this level are much shorter, and at the end of the stairs, there is still a stone door.
The stone door is still carved with patterns, and on this floor, there is a monster with a big mouth.
"It's chaos!"
Lin Qi explained to Chu Qing, who nodded, but this layer was still not Lin Qi's goal.
As before, Chu Qing's answer was still down, and then there was no hindrance.
In this way, the two of them came all the way to the stone gate on the fifth floor.
When he passed through the fourth floor, Chu Qing's expression was a little wrong, and when he came to the door of the fifth floor, Chu Qing's body had even begun to sway.
Seeing that Chu Qing was about to fall, Lin Qi broke the rope, instantly grabbed the other party, and then helped him to sit on the steps slowly.
"No...... I'm sorry, I, I don't know what's wrong, I suddenly have no energy in my body, and my brain is a little dizzy...... Groggy ......"
As he spoke, Chu Qing suddenly felt that the world was spinning, and he was in a trance in front of him, and the qi and blood in his body were about to burn, but his whole body seemed to be like falling into an ice cave!
Lin Qi hurriedly crossed a true qi, and then helped him to walk up a few feet, and at this time, Chu Qing came over a little.
"Go back, I'll do the rest!"
"But you ......"
Seeing that Lin Qi didn't seem to have anything to do, Chu Qing realized that this was the cultivation gap between the two, which caused different results, and at this time, he finally knew how unfathomable the other party's ability was.
"Every time you go down, the heavier the anger here, the greater the erosion of people, while you are still sober, go back quickly, I have supernatural powers, and I will be fine!"
Chu Qing knew that the other party was for his own good, and he could only do so at present, after all, he also had to think about himself.
"How many floors are you going down?"
The rest is without Chu Qing, so he can only rely on Lin Qi to break through, according to rumors, every time the hell goes down, the jailer will be a little stronger, this has to go down layer by layer, and I don't know how much obstacle it will suffer!
"Don't worry, I only need to go down to the seventh floor!"
Seven layers, counting this layer, a total of three layers of jailers, although the road ahead is extremely dangerous, but Chu Qing did not see any worries and hesitations in Lin Qi's body at all.
In fact, the number of the seventh floor was not said by Lin Qi casually, but it was arranged in advance when he made a plan with Zhang Xiao, according to Zhang Xiao's information, the entrance to the Secret Land Palace was not at the bottom of the Heavenly Hell, but precisely on the seventh floor, and Zhang Xiao also told Lin Qi how to find the entrance.
After speaking, Lin Qi smiled slightly, turned around and walked towards the five-story stone door, the pattern on the door on this layer was depicted as an image of a demon with flames in his hair.
"Yaksha?"
Lin Qi muttered to himself, and then the true qi began to condense in the true yuan.
Chu Qing secretly gritted his teeth, knowing that he couldn't help anymore, so he turned around and walked the way he came, and when he turned around, he was skimming the stone door and slowly opened.
The stone door was completely opened, and the anger gushed out wildly, Lin Qi stood at the door, unmoved, the golden light on his body was faint, completely blocking the anger from himself.
Behind the door, there stood a man with a blue face and fangs, his skin was really blue, his hair was green, his bare arms were tattooed with colorful patterns, and his sturdy body was full of great strength.
"To stay?"
"Don't stay, down!"
After Lin Qi finished speaking, he was about to raise his feet to enter, but he didn't want the blue-faced man, so he suddenly raised the three-pointed two-edged knife in his hand and laid it in front of him.
"What's next, you're not from Ouchi at all, and there's no one like you in the guards!"
Lin Qi smiled slightly, without a trace of fear at all.
"I'm new here, and it's normal that Your Excellency hasn't known me since you've been underground for so long. ”
"Phew, those who are qualified to go down to the fifth layer, there are no more than ten people in the entire Da Nei, Lao Tzu is not a fool!"
As he spoke, the three-pointed two-edged knife had already swung over!
