Chapter 110: The King's Water Prison
The King's Water Hell is an inverted tower-shaped prison built under the water of Xingluo Lake, and its real entrance is at a depth of 100 meters below the lake, at this time, the passage to the water prison has been opened, and the deep cold air spreads from the inside out.
Xiao Qianye landed on its top platform, the lake was divided to both sides by a strange force, and the current kept circulating along the perimeter of the ancient building, but it did not penetrate into the inside of the prison at all, and the door was open more as if it was deliberately opened for him.
He walked directly inside with his sword, and the echo echoed over and over again in the prison after the military boots stepped on, adding a little tension to the already strange atmosphere.
The water prison of the king is empty, the prisoners and jailers are nowhere to be seen, the entire water prison area is very large, octagonal, there is a cell door on each wall, and behind the door is a mechanical ladder leading to the lower level, the candle flame here is directly sealed in the middle of the wall by spiritual magic, day and night, it is always this bright orange fire.
In addition to the eight mechanical ladders around, there is also a special ladder in the center, which connects all the eighty-one layers of the Water Prison of the Binding King, and can quickly reach any prison floor, he remembers that when he came here to investigate private matters before, the warden Zhuang Mo opened the central ladder and directly took him to the seventieth floor.
Xiao Qianye walked towards the center, the special ladder had been lowered, was someone one step ahead of him to the bottom?
He pulled the mechanism next to him, and found that the iron cable pulling the ladder did not move at all, it should have been fixed from below and could not rise back, Xiao Qianye's eyes were constantly changing, since the other party intended to lead him down, why did he lock the ladder?
He then glanced at the other ladders around him, frowning and pondering, there were eight small ladders around him, each of which could go down to ten floors, and they would reach their respective cell floors, which were used by the jailers for their usual inspections.
Xiao Qianye carefully turned around along the wall, and there were signs standing near the mechanism of the small cloud ladder, which showed their destination very clearly, although the water prison of the king of the king was called the "Ten Palaces of Hades", but in fact there were only eighty-one floors, with a total depth of more than three thousand zhang, its first thirty floors, a hall every five floors, the last forty floors were ten floors and a hall, and the seventieth floor was the human laboratory, and the only place that the ladder could not reach was the eighty-first floor, where the corpses were destroyed, and only the warden Zhuang Mo could enter.
Thinking of the lean old man, Xiao Qianye suddenly pursed his lips, Zhuang Mo was born in the same generation as Gao Chengchuan, and the two had a very good relationship in private, but they were ruthless, I was afraid that this person was more than enough.
That time when he took the central special cloud ladder down to the seventieth floor, he also deliberately observed the "Hades Palace" that the imperial capital was proud of, because the scope of the entire King of Water Prison was very large, in fact, what he could see was only a small place in it, but it was that little bit, like a real hell, so that he still felt his scalp tingle and shudder when he thought about it.
In fact, during the fall of the central ladder, he didn't actually see much blood, and many prisoners could even look at him while hearing the sound.
What kind of eyes was that? not happy, angry, sad or angry, without any emotion on his face, he just sat on the ground like mud, raised his eyelids slightly, and looked at him lifelessly.
He couldn't tell if there were any injuries on those people's bodies, because most of the prisoners in the King's Water Prison would be reduced to experiments, and only the most successful subjects would be carefully transferred to the bottom of the seventieth floor and cared for "carefully", while ordinary subjects would be thrown back to their original places after the experiment, so even normal people who seemed intact could have been skinned and stripped of their bones and rescued by more cruel means.
It was probably the real despair, giving up all resistance, even the instinct to cry out for pain and help had long been forgotten.
"Oh, interesting. Xiao Qianye dragged the mechanism of the small cloud ladder, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, the ten halls of Hades, the doors are all open for him, is this to let him choose where to go?
Before he could figure out which ladder he was going to sit down, a familiar voice suddenly came from below, shouting in fear: "Hey...... Is there anybody? Somebody? Talk, it's scary here, woo woo woo ......."
Xiao Qianye's pupils shrank, and his fingers suddenly clenched the mechanism in his hand, and the atmosphere at this moment became extremely weird - the county lord of Haoyue!
Only then did he suddenly remember Gongsun Yan's words, originally he went down to the Water Prison of the Binding King and was relieved to see the empty cell, why was the county lord really caught by the ghost hands?
Xiao Qianye's mind was suddenly a little confused, and he could barely think normally, he looked at the deep bottom from the central cloud ladder in a daze, unbelievable-what's going on?Gongsun Yan suddenly mentioned that when the county lord went to Danzhen Palace to get medicine, he was a little puzzled, not to mention that Tianyu City was already under martial law in the whole city, and the county lord of Haoyue was a pampered daughter, how could it not be her turn to take medicine in person, not to mention that she still went to get medicine for the fifth princess, could it be that the people in the princess's mansion would be so ignorant and let the third county lord go by himself?
Wrong...... No! Xiao Qianye's eyes suddenly froze for a moment, full of fear and worry, and his heart was also filled with shocking uneasiness, he groped out a bag from his arms, and stared at it for a long time, this thing was given by the three county lords before he set out to Jia Luo last time, and there was a Gu ant that could manipulate people's bodies hidden in it, if there was still this kind of Gu ant around the county lord, then her abnormal behavior at this moment was undoubtedly planned by someone in secret!
His face turned pale in an instant, and the brutal deaths of the two children of Lalazhai appeared in front of him like a nightmare.
"Hey, no one!" The shouting below continued, but there was still no sound to answer her, and the three county lords couldn't stop crying, and suddenly, the entire Water Hell of the Bound King was an echo of crying.
Xiao Qianye didn't answer immediately, if the people near Xingluo Lake were sucked into the King Binding Water Prison by the ghost hands, then there was no reason why everyone else was missing, only a girl who didn't know anything survived, there must be other conspiracies down there.
However, although he could still calmly analyze the current situation in his mind, his body had already moved involuntarily, and the bruises on his arm holding the sachet had flares, and even his nails were deeply rooted in the flesh- The county lord of Haoyue is one of the few people in the imperial capital who is really good to him, although this little girl usually pesters herself very much, and always brings a large group of servants to block the marriage at his door, he has been ridiculed and laughed at for this matter, but no matter how much she messes around, she has never really blamed anything, because the county lord is the only person who is really good to herself except for the eldest brother.
"Hey...... Help!Daddy, save me......" The cry below began to gradually weaken, and the physical strength of the three county lords had reached the limit, Xiao Qianye finally suppressed all his emotions quickly, stepped to the central ladder, and shouted loudly at the dark bottom: "Haoyue! Where are you?"
"Huh?" When the third county lord heard this shout, he raised his head in disbelief and muttered in a low voice, "The voice of Qianye? I, I am hallucinating, Qianye should still be in Jia Luo at this time, ahhhh
"Haoyue!" Xiao Qianye continued to take a step forward and shouted anxiously, "Look at which floor you are on, by the way, the ladder, you go and find the location of the ladder, there should be a sign there." ”
"It's really a thousand nights!" "The county lord of Haoyue was surprised and delighted, and suddenly cheered up, the candle flame in the lower wall was extinguished at this time, she couldn't see the road at all, she could only grope and find it slowly, her fingers touched a lump of mud like soft stepping on things, and the soles of her feet were also deep and shallow and pit and potholes, the third county lord held back the nausea in her stomach, forcing herself not to think nonsense, she kept groping along the wall, and she didn't know where she went, and suddenly there was a cold cry from her fingertips, as if she had touched something metallic.
"I ...... I seem to have found it!" The third county lord hurriedly raised his head to tell him about his situation, his whole body was already sweating profusely, and he couldn't hold back his crying, "But, but I won't use this thing! And it's so dark here, I can't see anything, Qianye, I'm so scared ......" qq
Xiao Qianye took a closer look and found that the font on the sign next to him was slightly raised, he touched it with his hand, and hurriedly shouted: "You touch the sign next to it, the words on it are engraved with molten iron, you should be able to find out which layer it is." ”
"Oh, I'll try. The third county lord obediently groped according to his instructions, and sure enough, there was a small sign standing on the side of the metal mechanism, and she was overjoyed, and quickly touched it seriously, trying to distinguish the touch of her fingertips.
"Twenty ...... Twenty-six, twenty-sixth! Thousand nights, I'm on the twenty-sixth floor!"
Xiao Qianye didn't have time to reply to her, and strode towards one of the small ladders, he adjusted the position of the mechanism, and the iron rope clicked and moved, falling quickly downward.
The empty sword trembled suddenly, reminding the master that there was an unknown danger ahead, Xiao Qianye seemed a little unsettled, he ignored the reminder of the sword spirit, and at the moment when the cloud ladder fell steadily, a small body suddenly got into his arms, and he couldn't control his emotions anymore and cried.
At this moment, it was Xiao Qianye who was the first to breathe a sigh of relief, he patted the back of the third county lord, and comforted him warmly: "It's okay, it's okay." ”
"Hee-hee. Suddenly, a strange laugh came out, and a sharp sword light flashed in the darkness, and the blade reflected the eyes of the two people, a pair of ice blue and awe-inspiring, and a pair of gray and godless.
The next moment, a familiar spiritual power poured out from Xiao Qianye's body, controlling him and violently pushing away the person in his arms, and then grabbing the hand of the third county lord hard!
"This is ......" The third county lord turned pale, and looked at the strange movement in his hand in a daze-she was holding a short knife, because she was holding Xiao Qianye in her arms, and the tip of the knife was originally aimed at his back, and she was about to stab it in!
But her movements stopped stiffly, because Xiao Qianye pushed her away before that moment and directly grabbed her wrist.
"Huh, what am I doing...... I—How could I carry a knife......" Haoyue threw down the knife in horror and looked at her hands in disbelief.
Xiao Qianye stared at her, but her voice was peaceful, as if she was talking to another person: "Stop acting, what kind of person are you?" I have tried to kill me again and again with the county lord, and now that I have come to you, the water prison of the king is the right time and place for you, and you still refuse to show up in such a good situation?"
"Oh, you found it. Hazy Moon restrained the emotions on her face, she raised her left hand and waved her sleeve, and the surrounding walls lit up with a "poof".
Xiao Qianye's lips trembled slightly, and his face turned pale - the sleeves of the county lord's wide coat were densely covered with black ants!
"That spiritual power just now wasn't your own, right? It's so powerful, if it weren't for the fact that the person who cast the spell is now difficult to protect himself, then it would have killed Ah Yue!" Hao Yue pursed her lips with a sneer, "Did you deliberately hide it on you, just to deal with me?"
Xiao Qianye didn't reply, but he knew what kind of person it was.
"I thought you were a resolute person, but you are really just an indecisive person. The county lord of Haoyue sneered in a low voice, his big eyes flashing with a strange and unpredictable light, "It's not a long memory to be stabbed by Huo Cang, if someone doesn't protect you, but you're going to be stabbed by a little girl again, hehe, it's really useless." ”
"Huh...... You're quite right. Xiao Qianye self-deprecatingly affirmed the other party's words, revealing a gloomy look, "Since the North Shore City, I have missed one after another, and then I have been subjected to various plots, my colleagues and subordinates around me have been injured because of me, and even innocent children have been implicated and killed by me, and now I have to take the initiative to go back to Tianyu City to die, for an annoying little girl to jump to such an inexplicable place, I really ...... It's very irritating. ”
"Huh?" the other looked at him strangely, wondering what he meant by his sudden complaint.
Xiao Qianye's eyes were already filled with murderous aura, and the sword aura of the empty sword skyrocketed, and he said coldly: "I haven't felt this way for a long, long time, irritable, anxious, chaotic, I can't wait to ...... Tear you apart. ”
After a short period of dead silence, the other party laughed wildly through Haoyue's mouth, and even confidently stretched out his arms, and shouted at him: "Hahahahaha! Okay! The tone is not small, but the third county lord treats you well, can you kill her?" Come on, I'll just stand, and you will kill her if you have a kind!"
"Kill her?" Xiao Qianye shrugged her eyebrows, and the corners of her mouth sneered, "What are you talking about? Are you misunderstanding something, do you really think that the person who can do something to me is just to protect me from being stabbed, right?"
"What!" The laughter stopped abruptly, but the corners of her mouth did not contain a smile, the golden light of the Likong Sword had already carved ten sword qi, and the divine power of the sealed ten made the ants around the county lord have nowhere to escape, and the cold qi poured out from the sword body, sealing all the Gu ants in an instant!
At the same moment, the eldest princess of the Wanluo Hall below the temple suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart, and blood gushed out along her cracked lips!
The eldest princess immediately sealed her bloodline, and without hesitation, she took out the medicine bottle in her sleeve and poured it down, her already broken body was hit hard again, and almost all the wounds on her body burst open, and the spiritual power hidden in his body was able to follow the Gu ant to find her hiding place, and even give her a fatal blow!
It's dangerous...... The eldest princess let out a sigh of relief, if it weren't for the interruption of the caster's spiritual power, it would have been really fatal just now!
"Hmm, are you alright?" beside her, Gao Chengchuan squinted his eyes, but he was actually staring closely at the Star Saintess's every move.
"Hmph, I can't die. The eldest princess's black cat was also injured at the same time, bleeding uncontrollably, it licked its paws, its green eyes revealed fierceness, and then scolded, "Can't the Ten Halls Hades Array be opened yet?
"Don't worry, haven't I already sent someone over to guard it?" Gao Chengchuan comforted calmly, looked into the distance with a scheming look, and smiled Lang Lang, "I also want to see the power of the Ten Halls of Hades earlier, but the adults have a life, and it is not yet time, so please let the princess be calm." ”
The eldest princess of Mingyu instantly closed her mouth in amusement, the adult in Gao Chengchuan's mouth was the Night King of the Heavenly Realm, and only he could make the ancient Ten Halls Yama King Array work!
