Ma Lei was so frightened that his heart was about to jump out of his mouth, he sat on the ground and couldn't even stand up from rolling and crawling. There was another wave of dizziness, and the surrounding scene began to distort, and the "ghosts" seemed to have come out of the cage and opened their mouths towards him.

Ma Lei curled up on the ground with his head in his hands, not daring to look at this terrifying purgatory scene again.

In a trance, Ma Lei heard Ye Xuanlang's voice. Ye Xuanlang was crying and shouting: Jiayin, Jiayin, what's wrong with you?

Ye Xuanlang's voice made Ma Lei recover a little bit of sanity and courage, he slowly raised his head, and then looked around, those "ghosts" were still in the cage.

Ma Lei followed the sound and saw that Ye Xuanlang was staying in front of an iron cage, holding hands with the "ghost" inside through the iron cage.

Ma Lei really came to hell for a while, he completed his task and planned to go back, so he used all his strength to stand up, staggered over, and grabbed Ye Xuanlang, meaning to leave hell with him.

Ye Xuanlang turned his head to look at Ma Lei, and then realized that he was not here to get together with his lover, but to take his lover home.

Ye Xuanlang fumbled to open the iron cage, but couldn't find the door after looking for a long time.

Ma Lei looked up and saw that the door of the iron cage was actually above, and there was a thick iron chain and a black iron lock.

Ma Lei pointed to Ye Xuanlang and pulled him again, which means don't save it, you don't have the key, you can't save it.

But Ye Xuanlang didn't care about it at all, and actually clumsily climbed onto the iron cage to grab the chain.

Ma Lei hurriedly went to see the two ghosts who seemed to be asleep, for fear that the sound of the chain would wake them up.

Fortunately, the ghost cha may not be on duty at this time, and he sleeps so badly that they can't hear how the "ghost" in the iron cage screams, and they can't hear the sound of the iron chain hitting the iron cage.

Ye Xuanlang got off the iron cage and returned in vain, he said to Ma Lei: You must find the key.

Ma Lei still pulled Ye Xuanlang, meaning to let him escape with him quickly.

But Ye Xuanlang was still unmoved, although his body was also staggering, he just didn't leave.

Ye Xuanlang said to Ma Lei: You go first, leave me alone.

Ma Lei saw that Ye Xuanlang's determination to stay was the same as his determination to escape, because Ye Xuanlang's lover was here, and Ma Lei's lover was in the world.

Ma Lei climbed towards the stairs with difficulty, and as soon as he touched the first plank step, he heard Ye Xuanlang's voice behind him.

Ye Xuanlang said: If I can't go out, go back and tell my mother, I'm with Jiayin, it's good, don't read it.

Ma Lei turned around, and the scene in front of him was so frightened that he almost fainted.

Ye Xuanlang found the key, and the key was hanging on the ghost's waist. Ye Xuanlang wants to grab the key from the ghost.

Ye Xuanlang's hand stayed very close to the keychain on the ghost cha's waist, and motioned to Ma Lei to go upstairs quickly, he would wait for him to escape from this layer of hell before waking up the ghost cha.

Ma Lei landed on all fours again, like an animal fleeing for his life, and crawled up frantically.

When he climbed one and a half floors, he heard Ye Xuanlang's screams below, the roar of the ghosts, and the "ghosts" in the cage all screamed together.

A piercing cry of terror rushed up the top staircase.

Ma Lei was in a daze, I don't know how long he climbed, he only felt physically exhausted, he seemed to be asleep for a while, and he didn't seem to be asleep, as if he hadn't moved, and he seemed to be floating.

When he regained consciousness again, Ma Lei was still on the stairs, clinging to the wooden steps.

There was silence around him, and he tried to open his mouth, but he was indeed able to make a sound, and the ghost hand that had been covering his mouth was gone.

Ma Lei felt that the ghost hand meant that he was in the netherworld, and the ghost hand was gone, which meant that he had returned to the world.

Ma Lei felt that the left side of his body was colder than the right side, and it seemed that there was a wind blowing from the left side to the right side.

He struggled to climb up to the first floor, where he didn't know how many floors, and traveled in the direction the wind was coming from.

Maybe it was fate, Ma Lei felt that the wind was getting stronger and stronger, and a faint moonlight projection from the side began to appear on the ground.

He finally found the entrance to enter, the exit to escape for his life.

After climbing out, Ma Lei said to the spectators who were almost scared away before he fell unconscious: Hell, I've been there.

Ma Lei slept for two hours and woke up to paint, fearing that if it was too late, he would forget what he had seen in hell.

He also didn't care about his weak body, the blood marks on his body that were scratched by the "ghost", and he didn't care about passing the word to Ye Xuanlang's mother, painting from dark to dawn, and from dawn to dark. Finally finished drawing a picture of hell.

The news that Ma Lei came out of the Nether Tower alive was spread by the group of spectators, so people who were curious about the Hell Map began to come to the door continuously.

Ma Lei couldn't bear to be disturbed, so he had to hide in Wen Miaozi's house. As for the hell map he painted, he handed it to Wen Miaozi, who took it to the mountain, found a place to hide it, and waited for the buyer to pay the money and deliver the goods with one hand.

"It's so thrilling!" Yu Qingfeng was dumbfounded after listening to Ma Lei's long narration.

Ma Lei also re-experienced a trip to the Netherworld Tower as he told the story, sweating profusely.

"To be honest, I regretted it. But the moment I saw Miaozi after I came back, I didn't regret it. Now that I've seen you, I don't regret it! ”

Yu Qingfeng thought about it and assigned Ma Lei a task.

First draw the ghost pictures in the Netherworld Tower, which are sold as peripherals, including Ma Lei himself who is wrapped around his neck with white filaments, Ma Lei himself who is covered by ghost hands, and the ghost who grabs Ma Lei's feet when Ma Lei is stuck between the wooden boards. Of course, you can just draw a beautiful woman, you don't have to paint it as a warm purple.

Then the whole picture of hell is constructed in the mind, and then divided into eighteen parts, each of which draws eighteen details. It must include the fire, the ghost, the ghost in the iron cage, especially the ghost who opened his mouth and had no tongue, and the picture of Ye Xuanlang and Mu Jiayin's reunion.

For the rest, Yu Qingfeng let Ma Lei, a painting idiot, play freely. They gave Ma Lei seven days to retreat and paint here, and they were not allowed to meet Wen Miaozi during this period, so as not to be disturbed. The children's private affairs will only delay the business.

Ma Lei readily agreed, he believed that Wen Miaozi would fully support him after hearing about it, compared to a bright future, the difference of seven days was nothing.

Pei Wuyi dispatched four guards of Dali Temple, disguised as their attendants, and stayed behind to guard Ma Lei and protect his safety. If Wen Miaozi comes, be sure to prevent them from meeting.

Coming out of the inn, it was getting late, and the four of them went back to the palace, planning to find the three witnesses in the first ghost case early tomorrow morning to trace the source of the hallucinatory hints.

On the return carriage, Yu Qingfeng kept pondering.

Lian Shurong is anxious to share with you:

"What the hell is this? It can cause different people to have different hallucinations. Ye Xuanlang can see Mu Jiayin in the hallucination; Ma Lei's hallucinations are even richer, such as white filaments, ghost hands, and warm purple colors. ”

Yu Qingfeng came back to her senses and shared her reasoning:

"The white filament should be the dust in the hands of the eunuch, and the ghost hand covering the mouth is a symbol of tight-lipped mouth, Ma Lei's subconscious ......"

"Subconscious?" Lian Shurong caught another fresh word that he couldn't understand.

Yu Qingfeng didn't bother to explain, and brought it in one sentence, "It's something he already knows, but he thinks he doesn't know."

In short, Ma Lei's fear was buried deep in his heart, so in the hallucination, he saw the dust that was the source of his fear, and the ghost hand that covered his mouth. He knew that the secrets he knew would kill him, and that he had to shut up if he wanted to save his life. ”

Pei Wuyi nodded in agreement and continued to analyze:

"He also knows that Wen Miaozi will bring him the disaster of killing, it is the painterly female ghost who pulled him into the abyss, what 'I can go up when you come down', it means that Ma Lei already suspects that Wen Miaozi is a dead soldier sent to kill him, but he is just evasive and unwilling to face it."

Lin Ming thought so, "It must be so." ”

"I'm still the same sentence, what kind of medicine, so godly?" Lian Shurong is still struggling with the drug problem, "In addition to these hallucinations, what else is the oil lamp that falls and falls from above, what hell iron cage, what tongueless ghost ......"

"The first layer of the eighteenth layer of hell is the tongue pulling hell......" Yu Qingfeng suddenly said to Lian Shurong gloomily.

Lian Shurong shudered with fear from Yu Qingfeng's strange eyes and tone, "That's why Ma Lei and Ye Xuanlang had such hallucinations?" ”

"Wrong, these are just Ma Lei's hallucinations, only Ye Xuanlang knows what Ye Xuanlang's hallucinations are. It's just that I don't know if he has a chance to say it. Yu Qingfeng is not very optimistic about Ye Xuanlang's fate.

"So we have to take a trip to the Netherworld Tower as soon as possible, maybe there is no Bo Nanhui at all, and there are only unconscious Ye Xuanlang." Lian Shurong is eager to try.

Lin Ming patted Lian Shurong on the shoulder, "It's better to be careful, we are alone, what if it's a trap?" ”

"That's right, it's not safe to ask people on both sides of Zhan Yaoyuan or Qi Yao to help, both of them are suspicious, and it's hard to guarantee that we are not falling into the net," Pei Wuyi groaned and made a decision, "It's better to wait for us to have reasoning and certainty, and then defeat the enemy with one blow." ”

***

"Brother Wubo, you can be counted back."

As soon as they got out of the carriage, they were greeted by Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Su Niang, the maidservant beside Qi Yao, said in a dull mezzo-soprano: "Master Pei, Her Royal Highness the Princess has been waiting for you at the door for an hour. ”

This kind of special talkative subordinate must have a scheming master.

Qi Yao hasn't separated yet, so he is so blatantly chasing Pei Wuxing.

Pei Wuxian responded coldly: "Thank you Your Highness for your kindness, it is cold at night, I hope Your Highness will take care of your body." ”

Qi Yao was satisfied, smiled shyly, and revealed two small dimples.

"Brother Wubo, dinner is ready, just waiting for you to come back."

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, we've already had dinner." The hungry Pei Wuyi opened his eyes and said nonsense.
