Chapter 124: I'm afraid, I'm pretending
"Hallucinations, hallucinations!" Lian Shurong said impatiently, as he spoke, he sat on the ground weakly, closing his eyes and recuperating.
Pei Wuyi had already helped Qi Yao to get up, and the two of them were crooked, supporting each other, and walked to the stairs, ready to continue upstairs.
Yu Qingfeng couldn't scream, so he could only pull Pei Wuyi.
"Your Highness, don't get in the way of our investigation."
Pei Wuyi shook off Yu Qingfeng in disgust, focusing only on Qi Yao, who rested his head on his chest.
Yu Qingfeng's whole body was weak, soft like a ball of cotton, and it fell down when he pushed it.
Illusion illusion, everything is an illusion, if you want to get out of the illusion, you have to get out of the tower immediately! Yu Qingfeng decided, even if she was a turtle, she had to climb down immediately.
"Book Rong, Book Rong ......"
Yu Qingfeng, who had climbed more than a dozen steps, heard Lin Ming's voice calling for Lian Shurong behind him, but Lian Shurong did not respond.
It's hard to say whether Lian Shurong hallucinates or not, it seems that it is because of the physique, or because Lian Shurong is indeed fearless, so the symptom is not hallucinations, but simply fainting.
Yu Qingfeng didn't have time to take care of Lian Shurong, and he didn't have time to take care of the fact that the five people were divided into three groups at this time, up and down and standing still. At the moment, it is most important to get out of the tower first, and it is most important to regain consciousness and physical strength.
"Master Pei, Qingfeng, Shurong fainted." Lin Ming's voice was very difficult, as if he was trying to pick up Lian Shurong, who had fainted.
Yu Qingfeng only heard the sound of "dong", obviously, Lin Ming was also physically exhausted, and he couldn't carry Lian Shurong at all.
The voices of Lian Shurong and Lin Ming were never heard again, and Yu Qingfeng could only vaguely hear Qi Yao's whispered sobs and broken thoughts, as well as Pei Wuying's soft voice of comfort.
Yu Qingfeng held on to the stone pillar and walked upright with difficulty, every step seemed to cross thousands of mountains and rivers.
She was so dizzy that she couldn't count how many floors she had descended, but she finally realized what Ma Lei said, as if she couldn't get down no matter how she went.
I don't know how long it took, Yu Qingfeng vaguely heard the cry of a hundred ghosts, and his body felt the complex temperature of cold and hot mixed air.
She stopped on the stairs and looked down through the planks to see the flames leaping from the depths.
As Ma Lei described, it was the hellfire of the alien dimension, and the Nether Tower was indeed connected to the entrance to hell, and what she saw was the first layer of the eighteen layers of hell, the tongue-pulling hell.
Yu Qingfeng was so frightened that her whole body was paralyzed, and she fell on the wooden steps, trembling all over.
It really exists, it really exists, purgatory on earth really exists!
Yu Qingfeng couldn't tell how she felt at this time, hell really existed, and she should be happy or sad.
"Hallucinations, must be hallucinations. It's all Ma Lei's description, which caused me to have such an illusion! Yu Qingfeng dispelled her fear with self-talk and a wry smile of self-deprecation.
Yu Qingfeng continued to go downstairs, and tried to speed up, the door to the truth had been opened, and the hell where the cruel truth was hidden was close at hand, and she had to go down to find out.
The stairs came to an end, and there was no way to go down, and Yu Qingfeng stepped firmly on the ground of hell.
Everything in front of him is like Ma Lei's description, the fire, the two motionless ghosts behind the fire, surrounded by iron cages, under the reflection of the fire, the "ghosts" in the iron cage are all terrifying, grabbing the iron cage and shouting at Yu Qingfeng.
No one could say a single clear word, just roared like an animal. The cry was full of painful accusations, the venting of pain, and the cry for mercy.
Yu Qingfeng looked at everything in front of her and was stunned. It turned out that according to Ma Lei's description, her imagination and what she saw with her own eyes were so different that she was so shocked that she trembled all over her body and her mind went blank.
Suddenly, the two ghosts behind the fire each moved a step to the side, bypassing the fire! They turned out to be alive, unlike what Ma Lei described, they can move, not models.
The two ghosts were almost caught between the left and right, and walked in front of Yu Qingfeng with heavy steps.
Yu Qingfeng's legs were weak, and she fell to the ground, looking up at the ghost in the eyewitness's mouth and Fan Zhizhou's portrait, her eyes full of horror.
The two ghosts seemed to enjoy Yu Qingfeng's horror very much, and were not in a hurry to make the next move.
The one on the left pulled out a small dagger with black blood stains from his bosom; The oni on the right raised his hand and pointed to an empty iron cage behind him.
Yu Qingfeng suddenly put away the horror on her face, and asked in a relaxed and playful tone, "So, you want to cut out my tongue and put me in that iron cage?" ”
The two demons were stunned, their frightened faces could not be seen through the masks. But Yu Qingfeng can imagine their demeanor and beating heart at this time.
"I didn't have much confidence yet, and I was worried that I was working in vain. That's Her Royal Highness the Princess, with a noble status, how could she commit such a terrible sin? How is it possible that just because of jealousy, I will be sent to hell and plucked out my tongue? ”
The two ghosts are one forward, wanting to cut off Yu Qingfeng's tongue now; The other took a step back, causing the one who stepped forward to look back in surprise and anger.
Yu Qingfeng sighed and shook his head again and again, "Alas, I'd rather that my reasoning was wrong, all of this is just an illusion." Su Niang, Wang Jiansheng, there are two paths in front of you now.
"First, immediately surrender and surrender, pointing out Qi Yao, the mastermind, to avoid Ling Chi's suffering and protect his family; Second, if you are stubborn, give Qi Yao a funeral, Qi Yao is a princess, so naturally she will not be punished, so you will replace her. ”
The two ghosts still didn't speak, just looked at each other.
"Okay, don't pretend, just speak up if you want to discuss," Yu Qingfeng suddenly thought of something, "Did I guess wrong, one of you is Fan Zhizhou?" ”
The dagger took off the mask with one hand, revealing his true face.
That face Yu Qingfeng couldn't be more familiar, Qi Yao's henchman, she hit Su Niang, who sensed the danger from the first time she saw her.
"Yu Qingfeng, since you know everything, then I can't keep you!" Su Niang raised her dagger and rushed towards Yu Qingfeng.
Su Niang's arm holding the dagger suddenly had an extra crossbow arrow.
Su Niang saw clearly her arm that had been shot through, and screamed in pain.
Lin Ming jumped down from the upper floor, blocked in front of Yu Qingfeng, and kicked Su Niang away.
Lian Shurong then landed, stepped forward in two steps, and directly subdued another ghost who was stunned in place. Then he broke off a long fang from the mask and plunged it directly into the palm of the ghost's hand, nailing him to the ground.
The ghost mask fell, and Wang Jiansheng, who had been praised by Yu Qingfeng, was so painful that his face was distorted, like a hideous ghost in hell.
The cruel devils who once dominated "hell" and tormented innocent people were finally devoured and tasted the pain they inflicted on others.
Yu Qingfeng looked at this bloody picture, and did not feel terrible at all, but only felt very happy.
That said, the cries of the two men were indeed piercing. Yu Qingfeng couldn't help but cover her ears.
"It's too noisy!" Lian Shurong regretted a little, and directly slashed at the back of Su Niang and Wang Jiansheng's necks with two knives.
Seeing Su Niang and Wang Jiansheng fainting, Yu Qingfeng put down the hand covering her ears, "It's really cheap for them." ”
"Don't worry, they will wake up soon, what awaits them is the purgatory torture of the government and the fact that life is worse than death." After Lin Ming finished speaking, he looked at the tragic situation in the iron cage, his eyes full of sadness.
"Everyone, be quiet, don't be afraid, we are here to save you!"
Yu Qingfeng glanced around, there were a total of seven people in the iron cage, four of them grabbed the iron cage and shouted for help, and three of them were lying motionless.
They were disheveled, and for a moment they couldn't really recognize who was who.
A year and a half ago, there were seven men who disappeared from the original Bo Nanguo, three people who have disappeared in the last six months, plus a Ye Xuanlang who took the initiative to send them to the door, it should be eleven people.
But today, there are only seven people. What was the fate of those four? Yu Qingfeng held on to a glimmer of hope.
Lian Shurong grabbed the keychain on Wang Jiansheng's waist and walked to Yu Qingfeng, "Twelve guards are waiting outside the tower to answer, the question now is, where is the entrance and exit of the Netherworld Tower!" ”
"The entrance and exit are hidden, just like in this tongue-pulling hell, there is a hidden space, and at least one must be in charge of the operation of the mechanism in it - the ghost cha!"
Yu Qingfeng said, looking around, looking for the entrance to the hidden space.
"Anyone else? Could it really be Fan Zhizhou? Lian Shurong was surprised.
Lin Ming shook his head, "How can it be Fan Zhizhou, Qingfeng said, this person must stay in the tower to be responsible for the operation of the mechanism before he can open the entrance to here." ”
"Who could that be? is more loyal than Su Niang and Wang Jiansheng, in order to be loyal to Qi Yao, he is willing to live in this hell that does not see the light of day? ”
"I'm also curious about who this person is and how many people there are."
Yu Qingfeng looked for it while talking, and when he looked up, he saw that the people who were still holding the iron cage and shouting just now were all quiet, and stretched out their hands and pointed to the fire.
They were reminding Yu Qingfeng that the hidden space of the hidden mechanism that Yu Qingfeng was looking for was under the fire.
When the three of them looked over, there was a square stone brick where the two ghosts were standing behind the fire.
The four men in the cage stretched out their arms together, wrapped around the air, and made a spinning motion.
Underneath the brazier is a round stone pillar that can be encircled.
Lian Shurong stood in front of Yu Qingfeng, pointing at the location of the stone brick with a crossbow arrow as a defensive form.
Lin Ming bent down and hugged the scorching stone pillar and spun it vigorously.
With a "click", the stone bricks on the ground bounced up to the height of a palm.
Lin Ming just wanted to bend down and lift the stone brick again, but the stone brick moved up on its own and moved to the side.
Immediately afterward, they saw a pair of arms with the stone bricks removed, the sleeves of their clothes tattered, and their bare skin covered with scars.
Coming up from the hidden space below was a man, who looked like a prisoner in an iron cage.
He was first taken aback at the sight of an unfamiliar face, and then immediately knelt down and kowtowed, stretching out his hands to ask for something.
He can speak, but he is slurred. As you can imagine, his tongue was not completely cut off, it should have been shortened.
"Holy mushroom, holy mushroom ......"
"What?" Yu Qingfeng suspected that she had heard it wrong, this man called her Holy Aunt?
