Chapter 636: Xinglong Dharma Tomb (II)
The ground of Xinglong Prison is a scene of fairy homes surrounded by clouds and mist and lush forests, but the environment at the bottom of the rift valley is extremely dark and gloomy, like a ghost in Fengdu. The cliffs on both sides are as smooth as mirrors, and the stone surface is hard like a magic weapon, not to mention that the cultivation is sealed, and the strength is like that of ordinary cultivators, even if it is a peak realm of returning to the void, it is very difficult to chisel a cave on it, and it is impossible for someone to climb from the bottom to the top, and the only thing that connects the bottom of the valley and the outside world is the lifting platform located at the top of both sides of the rift.
This platform is somewhat like an elevator in a secular Western building, except that one is powered by steel cables and electric engines, while the other is powered by a flying circle and spirit stones. Although in the Xinglong Prison, the cultivation of the Three Realms Immortals, Demons, Buddhas and Demons will be subject to many restrictions, and they will not be able to cast any spells at all, it does not mean that they cannot cast spells here, and some magic weapons that can be stimulated with spirit storage stones can also be used here. In terms of power, these artifacts may not be very powerful in the outside world, but they are enough to deal with most of the troubles here, and each jailer stationed at the bottom of the valley has several similar artifacts in their hands in case of some unexpected accidents.
Xu Changqing and the jailer Li Jing stood on the lifting platform and fell into the valley bottom, although the speed of the fall was very fast, almost the same as the speed of falling from the sky, but it still took a lot of time to reach the bottom. The environment at the bottom of the valley did not make Xu Changqing look too surprised, but made him feel extremely familiar, because this place is almost not much different from the underworld he entered back then, the only difference is that the aura here is more abundant, and the yin qi is not the death qi of the yin, but the general yin qi.
Although the shape of the rift appears long and narrow from above, the bottom is actually much wider than the top, and the undulating hills composed of hideous rocks stretch for dozens of miles, making the shape of the whole rift more like a trapezoidal shape with a narrow top and a wide bottom. This is not the whole situation at the bottom of the rift, there are countless natural cracks and caves on the stone walls on both sides, these cracks and caves are connected to each other, and even extend to the depths of the mountain, forming a huge network of ground, which makes Xu Changqing can't help but think of the lair of the Three Realms he has been to.
"The place is so big, can a single hundred jailers manage it?" Xu Changqing walked down from the lifting platform, looked at the jailer camp surrounded by a city wall, and roughly counted the jailers in the camp, about a hundred people.
"There is no need to manage this place, only food is distributed at the door every day, and only once a month there is a round trip to the valley floor, there is no need to enter the cave, and the prisoners held here are left to fend for themselves. Li Jing answered Xu Changqing's question indifferently, and his tone became much stiffer.
Xu Changqing could feel the changes in Li Jing, and he could vaguely guess his thoughts, a sneer flashed on his face, and he continued to ask: "How many prisoners are here, and who are they detaining?"
"Uncountable" Li Jing was silent for a moment, and said: "Batch after batch of deaths, batch after batch of people came, except for a few people, most of the others were not included in the prisoner's book. ”
Xu Changqing asked again: "With such chaotic management, no one deliberately let go of one or two unobtrusive prisoners?"
Li Jing looked back at Xu Changqing and said with a little impatience: "Unless all the jailers betray, it is impossible for such a thing to happen." As he spoke, he turned around and pointed to the lifting platform behind him, and said, "Coming down from above, only one person is needed to trigger the magic circle, but going up from below requires the combined efforts of sixty people to trigger the magic circle." ”
After speaking, he walked straight towards the gate of the wall in the distance, his attitude was definitely bad, even some of the jailers around him who knew him were a little surprised by this, but Xu Changqing didn't care, turned his head to look at the lifting platform, and followed with steps. ...,
At the bottom of the rift, the light was very dim, and it did not come from the cracks overhead, which were long beyond the naked eye, let alone illuminated by the light. The light here all comes from a kind of light stone that is a specialty in the mixed Yuan Heaven, this light stone can emit a very soft light red light, because this light stone can only emit light, and has no other use, so it is not precious, only the roads in some big cities of Xuanyuan Heaven will use this stone to pave the way.
In this dim light, nearly a hundred jailers were busy with their own things, some took a piece of ancient books to study carefully, some used the magic circle to gather fire spirit qi alchemy, etc., for Xu Changqing, an outsider, they didn't even look up, and seemed to be accustomed to this situation.
Soon Xu Changqing and Li Jing walked to the city gate, and the jailer guarding the city gate saw Li Jing's arrival, his face changed slightly, and he seemed to be very disgusted with Li Jing, and his gaze at Xu Changqing was also a little strange. However, all kinds of abnormal expressions were hidden when the two of them reached him, and then he was heard raising his hand to stop the two of them and said: "The forbidden place in the valley bottom prison area, people stop coming"
"This is the Immortal Envoy from the War Demon Cliff, in order to investigate Du Chengen's Immortal's accident in Xinglong Prison," Li Jing looked at the jailer with an expressionless face, took out a talisman from his body that was given to him by the previous prison master, handed it over, and said, "The two of us are going to enter the prison area, and open the prison door immediately." ”
The jailer took the talisman and checked it, compared it with the other talisman on his body, and after confirming that it was correct, he waved his hand to the men on both sides and said, "Open the door"
As his words fell, the iron door slowly opened, revealing a deep, secluded, endless view of the valley floor. I don't know if it's psychological, when the door was opened, a gust of wind blew in from outside the door, which made Li Jing, who had long been accustomed to this qiē, shudder, and couldn't help but look at Xu Changqing, whose face had always remained calm, and there was a faint feeling of uneasiness in his heart.
Just as Xu Changqing and the others were about to go out, the jailer guarding the city gate suddenly shouted: "Wait" As he spoke, he saw him step forward, saluted Xu Changqing, and took out a magic weapon inlaid with a spirit storage stone, and said: "Although in this Xinglong Prison, the prisoners have been banned from mana and divine souls, but some prisoners still have extraordinary physical strength, and if the immortals encounter it, they will have some trouble. This magic weapon may not be anything in the eyes of the immortals, but it can be used for self-defense, and it should not be a problem to block some small people. ”
Xu Changqing turned his head to look at the jailer, with a meaningful smile on his face, took the magic weapon into his hand, and said, "What's your name?"
At this time, Li Jing, who was hidden in Xu Changqing's figure, looked gloomy because of the jailer's sudden move, and a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes.
Due to Xu Changqing's figure, the jailer did not see the strange look on Li Jing's face, but only answered Xu Changqing's inquiry in detail, and said: "The villain's name is Yu Zhen, who was originally a disciple of Xiaoyue Temple, and then Xiaoyue Temple was destroyed by the Xuanfa Gate, and the villain had to enter Xinglong Prison in order to avoid disaster." ”
"Your term of office is almost over, isn't it? a lot of words," Xu Changqing asked again.
Yu Jian didn't hide it, nodded, and said, "Yes, there is still a month." ”
Xu Changqing nodded slightly after hearing this, and then smiled: "I shouldn't be the first immortal you to show favor, right?"
"You are the seventh. Yu Fu replied with some embarrassment: "But you are the first immortal to say so much to the villain." ”
"You're kind of funny. Xu Changqing stared at Yu Zhen, the jailer in front of him with his head bowed and a respectful face, for a while, and his thoughts swept silently through his body, probing the situation in his body. ...,
Although Xu Changqing didn't mind accepting a cultivator who hadn't reached the realm of initiation, this cultivator had to have its value, and being respectful and speculative alone could not satisfy Xu Changqing. It's just that when Xu Changqing finished checking his body, he unexpectedly found that this Yu Jian actually had a true spirit seed entwined by the qi of reincarnation. Before they die, they will engrave what they have learned all their lives in the true spirit seed, and reincarnate with the soul, and after the people in the next life have cultivated to a certain level, this true spirit seed can solve the mystery in the womb and become one with the people in the next life, so that the people in the next life will take many detours in their cultivation.
It is not the first time that Xu Changqing has seen a reincarnated person like Yu Zhen, but it is rare to be able to preserve the true spirit seed so well, it can be expected that as long as he can get a stable cultivation environment before solving the mystery of the womb, his potential will definitely not be much worse than that of the Nine Flame Demon Lord and others, and Xu Changqing naturally has no reason to let go of such a talent.
"After you leave here, you can go to the station of the Heavenly Gate in the Battle Demon City," Xu Changqing said as he took out a talisman and handed it to Yu Zhen, saying, "Give this talisman to the steward there, and he will naturally take you to see this seat." ”
"The villain obeys the order" Yu Jian hurriedly took this talisman under the envious gaze of the other jailers, and carefully stored it, and the joy on his face was naturally difficult to hide.
Although, the big and small forces of the Battle Demon Cliff attach great importance to the Xinglong Jailer, and almost as soon as the jailer's term of office expires, they will try their best to draw them into their own forces. But after being wooed, it doesn't mean that this jailer will be taken seriously, many jailers will disappear from everyone's sight soon after joining the big sect because of qualifications and other reasons, and even die halfway through for various reasons, so it is particularly important to find a force that can value themselves and protect themselves. Now in the eyes of the other jailers, it seems that this Yu Fu has found a force to rely on, and it is also a force with an excellent reputation like the Heavenly Gate, which is really difficult for them not to envy.
At this time, the other jailers who saw that Yu Jian had successfully obtained a pass couldn't help but stand up and wanted to get close to Xu Changqing, so they repeated the trick to attract Xu Changqing's attention. It's just that Xu Changqing didn't seem to have any interest in staying here anymore, and after saying to Li Jing, who was bowing his head on the side, "Lead the way in front", he stepped out of the gate and walked into the prisoner's forbidden area of Xinglong Prison...... ,
