Chapter 55 - Ghosts and Human Hearts
Li Xiuyuan sat beside him and said, "I don't blame you, no one who has been locked up in this place for so long can't control their emotions well. ”
The man smiled reluctantly and asked, "Did you come to this Demon Suppression Tower for something?"
Li Xiuyuan replied: "I'm here to find a real person." ”
"Oh," the man said, "the real person of the First Ring is not on the first floor at this time, you can go down and look for it."
But since I'm talking about a real person, I'll tell you about the Demon Suppression Tower. Since I haven't spoken to anyone in a long time, allow me to say a few more words.
There are a total of nine floors in this Demon Suppression Tower, and the first and second floors are used to imprison the monks of the Jiedan period.
The longevity of a monk in the Dan period is the shortest among all the people in this Demon Suppression Tower.
And there are many people who can't break through before the deadline is approaching, so they can only wait for Shouyuan to run out and die here. So the first and second layers are the least.
Of course, my case is an exception.
It stands to reason that once I was promoted to the Yuan Infant Stage, the True Ring of the First Ring would come over and take me to the third and fourth levels, because that was where the Yuan Infant Stage monks were held.
But when I cultivated to the Yuan Infant Stage, I didn't see him, and I didn't know where he was at this time.
The fifth and sixth layers are all imprisoned by the great monks of the Turbidity Immortal Realm, and there should be many living people there, because they have the longest lifespan and will not die soon.
The seventh and eighth layers are all true immortals in the immortal realm in the legend, but except for the real people of the first ring, no one knows the truth or falsehood.
Become a prisoner in the tower, and that's all the information the Demon Suppression Tower can give us. As for the ninth layer, the Demon Suppression Tower did not give any information. ”
Li Xiuyuan looked at him, smiled and said, "Thank you." ”
With that, he stood up and prepared to walk to the next floor.
The strange man shouted behind Li Xiuyuan: "If you have a chance, can you let me out? I was wronged! Remember, my name is Bai Guang!"
Li Xiuyuan turned his head, without any expression on his face, and said, "I don't know how much of what you said is true?"
Maybe it's half true and half false? Or is it really easy to coax? At least the name should be real, right?
Aren't you worried that if I go back, I can really release you and tell me a fake name, and I end up putting the wrong person in the end?"
When the strange man heard Li Xiuyuan say this, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face was full of incredulity: "What did you say? Everything I said is true!"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head: "Your acting skills are so good, even I almost believed it, but this also shows that you still don't realize your sin."
It seems that in this Demon Suppression Tower, it should be your best home. ”
The strange man's eyes flickered as if he were thinking about something, and finally said in a low tone, "How do you see that? ”
Li Xiuyuan said: "At the beginning, I really didn't have the slightest doubt, and I was still immersed in the story you made up.
On the one hand, I felt helpless about the rough Tiger Elder. While thinking about how to wash away your grievances and let you out after you go back. ”
The man named Bai Guang went crazy in an instant, and roared hysterically: "Then why don't you continue! You can't see it!
But this time he didn't dare to pounce, it seems that the punishment of the Demon Suppression Tower is really not very pleasant.
Li Xiuyuan ignored him, but said to himself: "You should have already conceived all of this the moment I stepped into the first layer.
In the first meeting with me, you first made yourself look very obscene, and then you began to pave the way for the result of being wronged and arrested.
Because this physiognomy is indeed easy to be misunderstood by girls.
Then your series of stories, from the discovery of the Divine Pill, to the massacre of the Ling Xiao Sword Sect, to the Red Sleeve City taking the wrong brocade box, and finally being captured by the Tiger Elder are all seamless, reasonable and without the slightest flaw.
At that time, I didn't have the slightest suspicion, so much so that I was still secretly blaming Elder Hu, and I didn't ask about the situation clearly, so I caught the good guy by mistake.
Even when you tried to attack me, I didn't have any suspicions. Because at that time, I also thought that you were just a momentary emotion.
It wasn't until later that the voice of the Demon Suppression Tower reached my ears. I realized that it was all wrong, it was all a scene that you carefully planned!"
The strange Bai Guang was very surprised, and asked, "You can judge that I acted all this just by the voice coming from the Demon Suppression Tower?"
Would you rather believe in an emotionless magic weapon than in a living person? Then I really lost too wrongly. ”
Li Xiuyuan did not answer Bai Guang's words directly, but told him a story: "I once accepted a student, and he told me that he was very afraid of ghosts.
So I asked him, "Why are you afraid of ghosts?"
He told me that because the ghosts have ugly faces, they are terrible.
I heard him and said to him, "Do you think ghosts are terrible?"
So he took him to travel to countless worlds, experiencing countless worlds of warmth and coldness, life and death. From then on, he was no longer afraid of ghosts.
So, when the voice of the Demon Suppression Tower reached my ears, I knew I was wrong. Because the Demon Suppression Tower clearly judged your killing intent.
Not to mention that something without a mind won't lie to me, and you will. ”
When the strange man heard this, he lowered his head and sighed: "I still don't have to lose wrongly, it seems that I met a master today." People's hearts? hehe...... It really is the scariest thing in the world.
If you're looking for a real person, go on, because he's not here. Although I lied earlier, the news about the Demon Suppression Tower later was true.
One more thing, my name is really white light. ”
After speaking, he didn't look at Li Xiuyuan, waved his hand, and returned to the room he came out of.
Li Xiuyuan looked at the back of the white light slowly leaving, even if he was used to seeing the impermanence of the Jigong Living Buddha, his heart was cold at this time.
I have been doing good and eliminating evil for countless years, but when will this evil be removed?
After making up my mind, I stopped thinking about this, and decided that finding a real person first was the most important thing, otherwise all my future thoughts would not be able to be carried out.
So he turned around and stepped up the stairs to the second floor.
Entering the second floor, the scene is exactly the same as the first floor. The same vastness, the same roundabouts and rows of radial houses.
Although the scenery layout is the same as the first floor, Li Xiuyuan always feels that something is wrong. I don't have time to think about it, so let's find a real person first.
Li Xiuyuan walked forward along the path, looking for them one by one, and walked through every room on the second floor, but he didn't find any traces of the existence of any living beings.
Since there is no real person in Yijie, there is no need to stay here any longer.
So Li Xiuyuan prepared to leave and went to the third layer.
In the process of walking back, Li Xiuyuan finally figured out where the place that made him feel wrong.
It's this entire second layer, dead silence, not a single living being. Whether it's a human monk or a monster.
Perhaps they have all broken through to the primordial infancy stage, gone to the next level, and continued to be imprisoned.
Or maybe they have all died and turned into aura, and they are floating in the forbidden place of this Demon Suppression Tower, scattered around everyone.
What made Li Xiuyuan feel uncomfortable was that this second floor had not been inhabited by living beings for a long time, so it lacked popularity.
When it comes to popularity, it's an ethereal thing, but it's extremely real.
It's like if you go home every day normally, you definitely don't feel any difference.
But suddenly you are placed in a room that has not been occupied for a long time, and although it does not tell you about the room, you can definitely feel it the moment you enter the door.
A person who travels a lot, if he registers a room in a hotel that has not been occupied for a long time, although the store does not tell him, he will also feel very uncomfortable when he walks in.
The kind of thing that is missing in it cannot be seen or touched by anyone. But you can really feel its presence or absence, and that's popularity.
