Chapter 51: The Tower of Nine Punishments (Finale)
It was already bright outside, and the sun was shining through the tower window.
Walking up to the ninth floor, I saw a scholar standing in front of the tower window.
"Coming?" the scholar asked softly, turning his back to me.
"Hmm......," I replied cautiously, standing at the top of the stairs and not walking forward.
"Come on, it's all on the last floor, what's so scary?" the scholar turned around slowly, and a fresh fragrance came to his face.
I slowly approached, "Who are you, and what is the punishment on this level?"
"There is no punishment at this level, congratulations on passing the full sentence. I am the Lingzhi scholar who guards the Nine Punishments Tower, I live on the ninth floor all the year round, and when someone walks to this floor, I will take him to the top of the tower to get soul incense. ”
"So...... Then go get it now, my friend is still waiting for me to go back and save him. "I'm still keeping my distance from the Lingzhi scholar.
"Don't worry, I know, you can't beat me, if I embarrass you, you'll die here. The corners of the scholar's mouth rose slightly, "The old man who came before you fought with me for three days and three nights, he was seriously injured and only barely tied with me, I took pity on him, so I let him go, hahaha......" A folding fan suddenly appeared in the scholar's hand, and he opened the folding fan and fanned it gently.
"What do you mean?" I became alert, and saw that there were also spirit carp swimming on the folding fan, and they could jump out of the fan and disappear into the air.
"Don't be nervous, I'm also a member of the spirit world, I know that you are a descendant of the Spirit Venerable, and I won't embarrass you. ”
"Are there people in the spirit world?" I was a little surprised.
"Less, doesn't mean nothing. Do you think you're the only one left in the spirit world?"
"Is there anyone else but you and me?"
"Of course there are, but I don't know where they are now, the spirit world is different from the other three worlds, the spirit world has no fixed residence, this spirit mountain and spirit stream was formed in ancient times, but the spirit world did not settle here when it was prosperous, when the spirit world was still there, there would be a meeting in the spirit world every five hundred years, and at that time, only the spirit master had the ability to recall people from all walks of life. After Lingzun died, there was no more assembly, and everyone knew that Lingzun was long gone, so they all dispersed. ”
"But when my father went to fight the ghost world, didn't anyone help him?"
Lingzun ordered that no one should follow, for fear of injuring others. After his death, several people in the spirit world wanted to help him avenge him, but in the end they all fell into resentment, some died in the ghost world, and some came to me to get soul incense, and after detoxification, the trace was unknown. ”
"Since you are also a spirit person, can you help me?"
"Hmm...... I can help you some, but I can't go to the ghost realm with you. The scholar turned his back to me, "I can't get out of here." ”
"Why?" I said, approaching the scholar.
"This Nine Punishment Pagoda supports half of the roots of the ten thousand mountain ranges of the Spirit Mountain, I support the Nine Punishment Pagoda with my ability, if I leave, the Nine Punishment Pagoda falls, and the half of the Ling Mountain will also collapse. ”
"And how can you help me?"
"You worship me as a teacher, I can teach you something. After all...... I'm not much worse than your father. The scholar put the fan away.
"Let's talk about this matter, I want to get the soul incense and go back to save my friend, and I have to go to the Ghost Fear Mountain to save someone, these are all urgent matters, and when I finish dealing with these things, I will come back to you." I said to the scholar, "Take me up quickly." ”
"Well, that's fine. The scholar turned around and waved the folding fan in the air, and the folding fan opened, a bunch of purple petals fell, and the surrounding scene also changed.
The scholar pointed the folding fan behind me, and when I looked back, there were purple flowers behind me, and the purple light illuminated one of the walls of the tower, and some white smoke floated through the flowers.
"From. The scholar lifted the folding fan slightly, and a soul incense floated out of the flowers and slowly flew towards me.
The scholar held the folding fan flat in the air, and the soul incense fell on the folding fan. He flicked his sleeve with his left hand, and a small glass bottle appeared in his hand.
The scholar put away the folding fan, and the soul incense was sandwiched in it, and he pointed the tip of the fan to the mouth of the bottle, only to see that the purple powder was sprinkled into the bottle, emitting a faint purple light.
"Take it. The scholar plugged the glass bottle tightly with a stopper and handed it to me, "Nian you are a descendant of Lingzun, I will help you, and you will be punished less." I can't last two days if I get a grudge, so go back quickly. ”
I took the bottle and looked at the purple glowing powder, "Thank you." I looked up and said to the scholar.
I got the soul incense, and hurried out of the Nine Punishment Tower, and the wolf king was still lying on the high ground waiting for me.
"Got it?" asked the Wolf King, standing up.
"Well, let's go back to Jairus and rush back to save my friend. ”
Without further ado, the Wolf King took me back to find Jairus.
Jairus was completely awake, the beasts could communicate with each other, and Jairus didn't have any conflict with the spirit wolf.
After thanking the wolf king and saying a brief goodbye to the spirit wolves, I rushed to Lingxi with Jairus.
"You're not hurt, are you?" said Jairus, in the air.
"No, uh, no, I'm a little hurt, but I'm fine. "I looked at my thighs and there were no signs of injury.
"Why are you so heavy all of a sudden?"
"I? I've been in the Nine Torture Towers for a long time, how can I get heavy? But you're so confused by the sound of the piano that you slept all day, and when you wake up, you think I'm sinking?" I tapped Jair's head lightly.
"No, my feelings are very sensitive, I used to carry you only with your weight, but now I feel the weight of two people, you are like carrying someone. Jairus said quietly, "Did you get on the body with something?"
Hearing what Jairus said, I quickly glanced back, "Damn, don't scare me!" I touched my neck with my hand, "Don't talk nonsense, you must be feeling wrong!"
Jairus didn't speak again, and quickly returned to Lingxi with me.
Zhang Yi's face was pale, his hands and feet were black, and his resentment was deep, and he saw that the black poison was about to spread to his heart.
Wen Lin helped Zhang Yi up, I opened the bottle, and before I put it in Zhang Yi's mouth, a black gas appeared in Zhang Yi's mouth, inhaling the soul incense into his body.
Zhang Yi's heart emitted a burst of purple light, and the blood veins burst purple, forcing the resentment back, Zhang Yi's head was sweating, his brows were furrowed, his mouth was slightly open, and suddenly Zhang Yi was nauseated, spitting out a pool of black blood, and the plants where the black blood reached instantly withered and disappeared, and there was a baby lying in the black blood, staring at his eyes with his eyes on his back, his mouth wide open, and spitting black gas.
"Kill him!" Wen Lin shouted at me.
Before I could react, Wen Lin slammed it down, and the baby disappeared, turned into black blood, and melted into the earth.
"The ghost baby born of resentment is still immature, and if he waits for his black breath to vomit out and starts laughing, it will be even more difficult to deal with. Wen Lin took back the dragon whip and helped Zhang Yi.
"Let him drink some water from Lingxi, it should be better. Wen Lin said to me.
I didn't say much, I went into the house and found a wooden scoop, scooped a scoop of Lingxi water, and handed it to Wen Lin.
After Zhang Yi drank the Lingxi water, his brows loosened, and his face slowly returned to blood.
"Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi, wake up. Wen Lin shook Zhang Yi gently.
"Ahem......" Zhang Yi slowly opened his eyes......
