Qingling Punishing Heart

Chapter 68 Undead
After filling his stomach, Su Ji came to the stone gate closed by Jingming.

Hu Si plucked the strings, and the sound wave made a ripple, and the stone door burst open!

In an instant, the hurricane suddenly rose, and rocks flew across.The two walked down the stone steps through the diffuse dust, only to see Bai Xiu and Jing Ming sitting cross-legged on the ground, motionless.Apart from these two people, there is no one on this floor.

What about the rest?

Su Ji couldn't help being surprised. There were obviously many meditating monks here before, but now there are only these two people left.There was nothing on the cold stone floor, not even the drinking skull.During the period of time away, what happened here?
If everyone else is killing themselves en masse, why isn't there a single body to be seen?
If people on this level were attacked by monsters from the lower level, then why are these two people still alive?

Bai Xiu escaped from the lower level, so it is not surprising that he survived, but Uncle Jingming is the person with the lowest level of cultivation, why did he survive?

A daze flashed across Su Ji's eyes, and the scene in front of him puzzled him.

At this moment, Uncle Jing Ming was no less surprised than Su Ji.The moment he saw Su Ji, he immediately stood up from the ground!He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, turned his head to look at Hu Si beside him, and secretly wondered who this woman was?Could it be the woman in the nightmare Su Ji mentioned before?

At this moment, there was silence among the four of them.

Uncle Jingming looked like he saw a ghost, but Bai Xiu sat motionless, without even opening his eyelids.

Su Ji ignored the two men.He knew that he and these two people were not on the same road at all, and he didn't have any trust at all, so he walked towards the stone steps leading to the lower floor on his own.

"Scared me... so I was going to die." Uncle Jingming heaved a sigh of relief, sat on the ground and sighed: "Oh, dying early and being reborn early, sometimes even I want to go down."

"Oh? Then why don't you go with them?" When Bai Xiu spoke, his eyes were still closed.

"I'm afraid of pain!" Uncle Jingming frowned and said, "If you are caught by those monsters, you won't be able to die for a while!"

Bai Xiu smiled calmly, slowly opened his eyes, raised his chin slightly, and indifferently watched a man and a woman walking down the stone steps.

Su Ji and Hu Si walked all the way down to the fourth floor where they first woke up.In order to avoid disturbing the encroaching Gu group that tends to light, Hu Si extinguished the glowing lotus seeds in Su Ji's arms, making the surroundings plunge into darkness.

There was the sound of shoes touching the ground in the darkness.

"Da da!"

Hu Si's footsteps did not hesitate at all, and the darkness didn't seem to affect her vision.

Su Ji followed closely behind, groping forward step by step, with a hissing sound in his ears.He knew that it was the cry of nibbling Gu.There is no need to waste your blood on these bugs now, this time there is only one target - the fangs of the thousand-faced monkey.

The two continued to walk down for a while, and their footsteps stopped at the entrance of the stairs. They only need to pass through a half-closed stone door in front of them to enter the fifth floor.White light shines through the gaps in the stone gate, drawing a bright white outline in the darkness.

"Open the door." As he said, Su Ji held the goat horn dagger in his hand, ready to meet everything.

Hu Si pushed lightly, and the stone door opened!
The Linglong Pagoda Prison is in the shape of a spire, with a pointed top and a wide bottom, and the area is larger as it goes down.The two tentatively walked in slowly, and found that the inside was empty, not even a single monster.The surroundings were quiet, and there was no restless cry of any monsters.

Su Ji felt more and more strange, and gradually followed the white light source, and found a huge white shell in the center.The white light came from between the two open petals of the shell.

"Clams?" Su Ji murmured.

"You recognize this thing?" Hu Si asked.

Su Ji observed the giant clam shell and said: "This is a giant clam shell, which is very expensive. When I was young, I also had this kind of shell at home, but it was only the size of a plate. This is the first time I have seen it so big. If I can move it out and replace it with With shell coins, it shouldn’t be a problem to buy a hundred restaurants.”

After finishing speaking, Su Ji felt that the surroundings became more and more quiet. Looking back, he found Hu Si stopped far away from the shell, with a jade hand stroking his forehead, as if he was very uncomfortable.

"I can't go near that white light, it makes me dizzy."

Su Ji didn't feel any discomfort, which meant that the white light emitted by the shells only worked on non-human creatures.Thinking of this, he suddenly understood that there were no monsters on this floor because of the existence of this giant clam shell.

"Golden gate, coral groves, giant clam shells..." Su Ji seemed to think of something, lowered his head to think for a moment, and suddenly said: "So, the seven floors of this tower prison correspond to the "seven treasures of the world": gold, coral, agate, Pearls, clams, glass, silver."

"Then this is really Li Tianwang's Qibao Linglong Pagoda. My father must be here somewhere!"

Hu Si endured her headache and took a step forward excitedly.

The huge white shell seemed to feel a strange breath, and suddenly closed!

"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound, the white light suddenly disappeared, and the surroundings fell into darkness.

"Boom!" The stone door behind the two of them also closed!

Immediately afterwards, an erratic voice came from the darkness:

"Why are you so persistent?"

"Why are you trying to live?"

"Why are you going out?"

"The world is hell!"

"..."

Su Ji felt that there were more and more strange voices in his ears, as if a hundred people were talking in all directions at the same time, and some voices sounded familiar.

"It seems that we are surrounded." Su Ji was on full alert, patrolling the darkness, and said: "The monsters here are smarter than imagined. They let us in smoothly, making us mistakenly think that this place is safe, and wait until we go deep alone. Start the siege."

"It's just in time." Hu Si held the strings of the qin and said with a sneer, "In case Miss Ben looks for it by herself!"

The moment Hu Si drove the Jingshi lotus seeds to light up, Su Ji saw a sight that he would never forget in his life.

The dim light illuminated the surroundings, and Su Ji saw a group of monkeys surrounded by strange shapes.

These monkeys are twice the size of normal monkeys, with protruding muscles all over their bodies, and the hair on their bodies is patchy and mottled like alopecia areata.

The most unbelievable thing is the monkey's face.They were full of scarred faces, and each monkey's face was different: man, woman, old man, child, emaciated, bloated, beautiful, ugly...

All the lifeless faces stared at the blood-red eyes, the expression was dull, the flesh on the face was gnawed up, and the position of the face was also crooked, and some even had a face upside down on the head, which made people feel creepy.

Hu Si frowned, and said, "Thousand-faced monkeys have devoured human souls, and their appearance has become disgusting. Rather than saying that they are monkeys, it is better to say that they are a group of monsters with human faces."

Su Ji frowned slightly.He remembered those faces, many of these people were monks who used to meditate on the upper floors!

"The law of heaven is...a lie...people will die sooner or later..."

"Even if you go out from here... you will die..."

"One lives...to die..."

"It's better...to stay..."

Thousand-faced monkeys uttered words one after another, as if telling Su Ji that they are not heartless monsters, they are living souls.These people must have had many beautiful and glorious pasts before their lives, but after death, even their souls were occupied and used by monsters, which has to be embarrassing.

"I'm sorry, I can't stay." Su Ji gave a wry smile, held the goat's horn dagger tightly, and said word by word: "I still have to settle accounts with that surnamed Yang!"

Hu Si glanced into the mouth of the thousand-faced monkey, and said, "Am I guessing right? Yang Ni is indeed playing tricks on us! There are no teeth in the mouths of these monkeys!"
