Chapter 1249: City of Mercy
Since entering this "Turret City", Lin Xiuqi feels that Xixuan's common sense is not the same as that of Dongxuan and Nanxuan, and it seems that he can only continue to play his acting skills.
He sighed and said, "Well! I did lie! I ran for my life through the forest!"
"You're lying!"
"Why?"
"The forest on all sides is millions of kilometers long, how can you, a junior priest-level person, pass through the Nether Forest safely and without incident!"
"I said that I relied on pills to carry it, do you believe it?"
"Don't believe it!"
Lin Xiuqi said angrily: "Teleportation can't work, and it can't go through the forest, so how do you say I came here!"
"Naturally, they were escorted!"
"Escort, do you see that I have shackles on me?"
"Well, there really aren't any special marks!" the young elf surprised.
The older elf said thoughtfully, "It seems that there is no one with you, which is strange!"
"Actually, it's my first time out of the mountain!"
"Out of the mountains?"
"That's right! I was brought up by Master, and I grew up in the mountains!"
The two elves looked at each other and nodded, as if they thought this explanation was more reasonable.
Lin Xiuqi looked at the expressions of the two elves and thought, you believe this!
"Go on!" said the older elf coldly.
"Oh! Master passed away a week ago, and when I was packing up my belongings, I found a secret room with a formation in it, and I was going to see the effect of the formation, but I didn't expect to fly into the nearby forest!
"Wait! You saw the Black Goblin?"
"Isn't it a bunch of skinny things with red eyes......"
"That's right, how did you get away from them?"
Lin Xiuqi was a little surprised, looking at the reaction of the two, those black-skinned ghosts seemed to be very powerful, he could only helplessly say: "Run!"
"So, this is the first time you've seen an outsider?"
"Yes, but I still know a little bit about things out there, like the elves!"
"Oh, what do you know about the elves?"
"My master said that the elves were born from plants and trees, protected by sacred trees, and admired nature......"
"Shelter from what?
"O Sacred Tree!"
The two elves suddenly shouted angrily: "Okay, you heretic! You are in the right place!
"Is it wrong to listen to a story?"
The young elf shouted, "It is a sin to spread impropriety and remarks!
Lin Xiuqi knew that the problem was serious, and the expressions of the two of them didn't look like pretending at all, and there was no surveillance around them, so it shouldn't be a whole-person show, so there was only one conclusion, they really didn't know the holy tree.
"Haven't you seen the Sacred Tree?"
"Shut up! Don't mention that name! This is my elven race...... No, it's a taboo in the Xuan Realm! It's a stain that can never be erased!"
As he spoke, the elder elf pinched the mantra and recited a mantra, and a white light flew out, flexibly wrapping around Lin Xiuqi's hands.
"Wow!"
Lin Xiuqi originally thought that the white light was a technique to bind hands and feet, but he didn't expect to fly into the sea of knowledge along his body, forming a coffin-shaped enchantment directly outside the primordial spirit.
"It's ...... My power!"
He felt that the mobilization of Yuan Force was not smooth, and his divine consciousness was gradually blurred, and even the soul fluctuations were difficult to transmit, which turned out to be a strange sealing method.
"If you fall into the soul shackles, you are just an ordinary person with a stronger body, don't resist!"
Just as the other party was talking, Xiao Ni found the white coffin, and the little thing made an inhalation movement, directly sucking the white barrier away as a mouthful of cool skin.
Lin Xiuqi's sluggish expression was completely surprised in the eyes of the other party, and the elder elf sighed lightly: "Maybe you are just not deeply involved in the world, but your thoughts are very dangerous and need to be corrected, if you sincerely repent, it won't be long before you can return to the arms of the Holy Spirit!"
"What ......is the Holy Spirit?"
"No wonder I don't even know the existence of the Holy Spirit! The Holy Spirit is the only master of the Xuan Realm, a god, and everything we have is given by the Holy Spirit, remember?"
Lin Xiuqi understood the situation of Xixuan more and more, the Holy Spirit was still the Holy Spirit, but here he was not the ancestor of the elf race, but became a god, in addition, there was no Dao Ancestor and Half-Beast Ancestor among the controllers, it was completely a routine for the rise of religion.
"Remember! Can you tell me where this is?"
The elder elf sighed helplessly and said, "This is the east of the Xuan Realm, the city of mercy!"
Lin Xiuqi nodded, according to the characteristics of the division of the elf clan and the half-beast clan, it should be in the east of the West Xuan, it seems that the alien races here have been brainwashed.
"I heard from the master that there seems to be a half-orc ......."
"Shut up, those are hopeless heretics, extinct for thousands of years, if you dare to mention ...... again"
"Don't dare! I don't know anything, don't be angry! Why is this city of mercy so depressed, I heard Master say......"
"Don't mention any more masters! If your master doesn't die, he's a big heretic! As for the City of Mercy...... This is a prison for infidels, and my elves have been ordered to guard it!"
"All the people walking on the street are prisoners?"
"That's right! It's just that everyone has a different degree of apostasy, a different degree of repentance, and therefore a different treatment!"
The two elves explained it word by word, and Lin Xiuqi probably understood.
There are four types of prisoners in the City of Mercy, known as God's Forgive, God's Merciful, God's Punisher, and God's Forsaken according to the degree of sin and repentance.
The heaviest of them are the outcasts, those criminals who kill the Holy Spirit, who are seriously contrary to the will of the Holy Spirit, who are imprisoned for the rest of their lives in prisons that do not see the light of day. Niuniu Chinese Network
The less serious crimes are the divine punishers, these people have a tendency to apostasy, most of them are dangerous people, Lin Xiuqi, who has violated the taboo many times, belongs to the divine punishers, and it takes ten years to turn into a god pity.
The Divine Mercy is a reformed pagan who can leave the prison and live in the city, but only as coolies, and if they do evil again, they will become God's Punisher again and be imprisoned for ten years.
The one who forgives the least sin and the most repentant can open a shop in the city, marry a wife, have children, live a normal life, and after ten years can leave the city of mercy and start a normal life.
Except for the God Forsaken, there is no hope, everyone else has a chance to leave, but each level takes ten years, if Lin Xiuqi wants to leave, as long as it takes thirty years.
He hated the time of 30 years, he had been recuperating for 30 years, and now he was going to be imprisoned for 30 years, what a ...... Wait! Now that the soul shackles have been removed, it is naturally impossible to stay honest for thirty years!
The two elves persuaded Lin Xiuqi to take him into the back hall of the yamen and opened a door to the underground.
As you pass through the spiral staircase, the light gradually brightens.
That's right!
The light outside was already very good, but the ground was brightly lit, and the holy white light was everywhere, and the brightness was just controlled to the extent that it did not feel dazzling.
Behind the nine hundred and ninety-nine stairs is a transparent prison, and from a distance, there are countless and perhaps tens of thousands.
The reason why it is called transparent is because the single cells are separated by only iron bars, and they are more like cages than prisons, in which everyone silently recites sutras, not daring to make a single sound.
These people were ragged and emaciated, but they were full of energy, as if they had found a spiritual pillar from the scriptures.
The two elves and the guard explained Lin Xiuqi's situation and left, the guard is a slightly chubby elf, Lin Xiuqi is also the first time to see this kind of elf, looking at the appearance is still a handsome guy, but his demeanor and temperament are completely the feeling of a big man.
"What do you call this fellow Daoist?"
The fat elf looked smiling and welcoming, Lin Xiuqi could probably guess the other party's routine, and smiled back: "My name is ...... Yasuo!"
"Good name!
Lin Xiuqi thought to himself, can the dragon and phoenix among my people come here? Could it be that I am the overlord among prisoners, but I am still a prisoner!
Seeing Lin Xiuqi's expressionless face, the fat elf said with a smile: "I'm the guard here, just call me Fat Brother!"
"Oh, hello fat brother!"
"Your situation is special, so it stands to reason that you ...... Those who don't know are not to blame, and there is no great sin, so be it...... How about I help you become a mercy sooner?"
"Fat brother, you have so much power?"
"It's also a situation, it's all said, your situation is special!"
Lin Xiuqi smiled excitedly, his divine sense had already dispersed, and he found that the corners of his mouths were slightly raised by no less than ten prisoners, revealing a gloating smile.
The fat elf continued, "I need to pawn the others, do you have anything of value...... I'm going to hurry up too!"
"Fat brother, you know, I've been isolated from the world since I was a child, and I don't know what it's worth!"
"Is there a Holy Spirit Crystal?"
"I don't know what it is, do you have one?"
"This is it!"
There was an extra white crystal in the fat elf's hand, which contained a rich soul energy...... No, that's ...... Breath of the Law of the Soul!
"Oh, isn't this the essence of the law!"
"Oh, take it out!"
The prisoners here can't invoke the power of the Yuan Force and the Soul Power, but the spiritual power can still be used, otherwise they can't even use the things of the space, and many times they are the overseers.
Lin Xiuqi took out a magic essence, which was still stuffed by Lin Xiaomeow to himself, otherwise he only had some spirit stones on his body, and he really couldn't take it out.
The fat elf took the essence of the law with his right hand, and felt it carefully, he was an early stage cultivator of the primordial god, and he could identify the aura of the law in it.
"It's ...... Ah!!h
The fat elf roared, threw the magic essence to the ground, grabbed his right wrist with his left hand, and wailed: "My faith is polluted! I am not pure! Damn heretic! You dare to sinister me!"
He grabbed Lin Xiuqi, who was picking up the essence of the law, and walked towards the depths of the prison, passing by the two cages, many people couldn't help but look back, and then shook their heads and sighed, as if they were regretting.
"Fat brother, where is this going?"
"Shut up! Who is your fat brother! From today onwards, you are not allowed to stay here, go and live with the outcasts!"
"Oh!"
Seeing that Lin Xiuqi was not afraid at all, the fat elf sneered: "I really envy you for not understanding anything, if you know what you are facing next, I guarantee that you will seize every second to beg me!"
"Oh!"
"Let's go!"
At the end of the two rows of cages appeared another staircase leading to the ground, this time not a spiral staircase, but a rudimentary stone staircase.
With each section down, the light dimmed, and the sound of dripping water could be faintly heard, like an ordinary crypt.
After six hundred and sixty-six steps, a wide flat ground appeared in front of him, like a small square, and in the distance there were nine gates, which were tightly closed, each three feet high.
"Yo, fat man, why do you have the leisure to come here!"
A shrill voice came, and out of the shadows came a skinny old elf with little hair left, very similar to the fat elf, and it could be seen that this person was very handsome when he was young, but there was only a treacherous philistine in his eyes, and he looked like an old fritter.
"Skinny! Lock this kid up for me!"
"What did you do? Maybe it's just because I didn't honor you?"
"Fart! am I that kind of person?"
"Yes!"
"This kid has a heretic Xuanjing on his body, and he was almost killed by him!"
"What! heretic Xuanjing!"
The expression of the old man known as the skinny skin became serious, he glanced at Lin Xiuqi from the corner of his eye, and sighed lightly: "It's a pity!
The fat elf pushed Lin Xiuqi to the other party, and the thin skin glanced at the nine gates and walked towards the third.
A white token appeared in his hand, affixed to the third iron gate, and instead of opening, the gate was at the bottom, revealing a small three-foot-high door, like a dog's hole.
"Go in! You'll be staying in there for a long time! Don't blame me for not reminding you, when you go in, look good!"
