Chapter 2033: Rafting on the Prison Sea
A wooden raft floats down the river, leaving thousands of green mountains behind, covering tens of thousands of miles in a matter of seconds.
“The Hundred Thousand Ghost Mountain is indeed magnificent!”
Liang Yan observed along the way and found that there were monks living in huts on almost every mountain. These people all set up their caves at the extreme In the land of Yin, those who practice are also ghost techniques.
What’s more, his physical body is dead and he is a pure ghost cultivator like Zhao Xunzhen.
"I didn't expect there to be so many monks in Fengdu City. Judging from the number alone, none of the seven mountains and twelve cities can compare." Liang Yan sighed softly.
After hearing this, Zhao Xunzhen nodded and said: "Fengdu City is indeed powerful, but it also has a lot of water. For example, among the 80,000 monks on the first floor, most of them are in the foundation building stage and in the Golden Core realm. There are not many above, and further down, there are monks. The smaller the number, the higher the corresponding level of cultivation.”
“It doesn’t matter, I can use the identity of the ‘ghost-hand scholar’ to deceive the city gate first, and then worry about it after entering.” >
Liang Yan smiled slightly and said no more.
The raft went downstream. After about half an hour, the riverbed in front gradually narrowed, and a tall city appeared in the distance.
I saw the banners fluttering above the city, and hundreds of monks guarding the city, dressed as soldiers. Their cultivation level was much higher than the officials they had seen before, and the lowest level was Juyuan Realm.
Liang Yan narrowed his eyes and looked carefully, and found that different runes were carved on the surface of the city wall, forming twelve defensive barriers with the underground formation.
With his methods, it is not difficult to break these barriers, but it will take at least an hour.
This period of time is enough for the prison lord to summon most of the monks on the first floor, and may even alert the prison lord on the next floor.
So, Liang Yan did not act rashly.
"Call the door now?" He sent a message to Zhao Xunzhen and asked.
Zhao Xunzhen smiled slightly: "Ghost Hands behaves in a domineering manner and has no good feelings towards people who are not as good as him."
"I understand."
Liang Yan nodded. He nodded, pointed with his hand, and used Zhao Xun Zhen's ghostly energy to condense a ferocious ghost head in mid-air, which hit the city wall in the distance.
Bang!
There was a loud noise and the whole city began to shake.
The soldiers at the top of the city had no time to react when they suddenly saw a huge ghostly face reaching above their heads. If the city's defensive barrier hadn't blocked it, I'm afraid this ghostly face would have been bitten off.
"No, someone is attacking the city!"
The soldiers were frightened. Some people just collapsed on the ground, but some people held on and sent out a signal.
After a moment, a roar sounded in the city: "Who has eaten the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard? How dare you make trouble here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a middle-aged man galloping towards him, and he reached the top of the city in an instant.
This man has a square face and a broad nose. He is dressed in the clothes of a secular prince and aristocrat. He is holding a dragon-headed walking stick. The aura exuding from his body is comparable to that of overcoming a calamity.
"His name is Ma Heng. He was a cruel official during his lifetime. He only wanted to be promoted and make a fortune, but in the end he failed to do so. After his death, he became a ghost cultivator due to a strange combination of circumstances, but he He couldn't forget his obsession during his lifetime, so he called himself 'Lord Ma' and made all the monks on this level pretend to be I serve as an officer and an official for his enjoyment."
After hearing this, Liang Yan shouted: "Master Ma! I haven't seen you for many years, don't you recognize me?"
This is enough. The magic power caused the twelve levels of restrictions outside the city to tremble.
Above the city wall, Lord Ma was slightly startled.
He looked at Liang Yan carefully with his triangular eyes, and suddenly exclaimed: "Judge Cui, it's Judge Cui! Why are you back?"
Liang Yan knew this person. He is a person who bullies the weak and is afraid of the strong, so he doesn't give him a good look and sneers: "What? I have to come back, and I have something to do." Get your consent first?”
“Don’t dare, don’t dare!”
Prince Ma waved his hands and said with a smile: “Judge Cui, what is your position as the leader of the ninth floor? ! How dare I, a little prison master, act so arrogantly in front of you? Judge, wait a moment, I will open the city gate.”
After saying that, he raised his hand and cast a few spells. The glow on the outside of the city wall gradually dissipated. In just a moment, all twelve layers of restrictions were opened.
Liang Yan sneered in his heart when he saw this.
Zhao Xunzhen was indeed right. This "Lord Ma" was a bully and afraid of the strong. If he looked nice, he would be suspicious of him, but if he used his momentum to frighten him, he could quickly open up the city. Door.
“Let’s go.”
Liang Yan lifted his feet slightly and jumped into the air from the raft. Zhao Xunzhen followed closely behind, and the two of them landed at the top of the city almost at the same time.
Prince Ma immediately came up to him with a smile on his face: "Tsk, tsk, I haven't seen you for hundreds of years, the judge's cultivation has become more and more unfathomable."
After saying this, he glanced at Zhao Xunzhen behind him again. , asked curiously: "How come this girl Xunzhen has become a ghost cultivator?"
Zhao Xunzhen did not answer, standing behind Liang Yan expressionlessly, while Liang Yan sneered.
Prince Ma seemed to have thought of something, and he quickly smiled and said: "This is the judge's private matter. Ma should not talk too much, but the judge must not take it seriously."
" Just know.”
Liang Yan glanced at him and said coldly: "When I come back this time, I have some things to discuss with the prison master on the ninth floor. Open the passage quickly without delay!"
"This" Prince Ma is exposed There was a trace of hesitation, "Judge, you haven't been back for hundreds of years. Some rules have changed. Now you must have the handwriting of the Soul Saint to enter the next level. How about you wait a moment?" Do you want me to send someone down below to ask?”
“How dare you!”
Liang Yan’s face instantly darkened: “I have received a secret edict from Tiangong City. If you are here, You are delayed here, can you bear it?"
"Tiangong City secret edict?" Lord Ma had a look of fear in his eyes, as if he was persuaded by Liang Yan.
But he thought for a while and said: "If it was a secret edict from Tiangong City, how could the two saints Hun and Yao not know about it? They should have given the order in advance to let them go."
Liang Yan said lightly: "The two The saint has left the city."
"What!"
Prince Ma’s face changed drastically, as if he had thought of something, and murmured: “No wonder there was movement from the Guimen Pass just now, could it be said”
“You guessed it right, the saint of Nanxuan We have found this place and started to attack the city!”
Hearing this, Prince Ma was greatly shaken and his face was extremely flustered.
"Nan Xuan came here. Is he still a saint? It's over! Our cultivation is not enough in front of a saint. Will thousands of years of hard work turn into ashes?"
Liang Seeing that he was so scared, Yan couldn't help but sneered and reached out to slap him hard on the shoulder. "Why are you panic? There are only two saints from Nanxuan. Youhun and Yaosheng are resisting, and they can't get in for the time being. My mission is to activate the teleportation circle on the ninth floor so that Du and Wuer in Tiangong City can The Holy Spirit came here to resolve this crisis.”
“That’s it!”
Prince Ma had a look of surprise on his face, and he grabbed Liang Yan's hand as if he was grasping a life-saving straw.
"Judge Cui, without further ado, I will open the passage for you now. The judge must rush to the ninth floor as quickly as possible and invite reinforcements from Tiangong City!"
Liang Yan nodded, his expression remained indifferent and he didn't say much.
“Follow me!”
Prince Ma took the initiative to lead the way and flew to the center of the city.
Not long after, the three of them landed in front of a pagoda. The pagoda had seven floors, and each floor was engraved with dense runes. The space on the seventh floor was unstable and looked like a dancing will-o'-the-wisp.
Liang Yan looked at it carefully for a moment with his spiritual consciousness and nodded secretly.
Each of the eighteen floors of the Ghost Prison is an independent small world. Only by finding the corresponding space node can one enter from the upper world to the lower world.
Obviously, the space node on the first floor is at the top of this pagoda.
"Judge Cui, you have to speed up. Although the two saints of soul and demon are resisting outside, it is still possible for saint Nanxuan to break in. Ma is guarding the first floor and is the first to bear the brunt. Anyone caught in the aftermath of their magic will end their lives!”
"What do you mean, are you teaching me how to do things? Am I the kind of person who delays military affairs?" Liang Yan's eyes were as cold as ice.
Watching him, Lord Ma felt a chill in his heart. He waved his hands hurriedly and said with a smile: "Judge, please calm down. It's Ma who talks too much. Judge, please!"
"Hmph!"
Liang Yan snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and walked into the pagoda with a swagger.
He led Zhao Xunzhen up the climb and soon reached the seventh floor. He saw that the space here was small and extremely unstable, beating like a will-o'-the-wisp.
"That's right here." Zhao Xunzhen winked at him.
Liang Yan nodded secretly, without hesitation, using Zhao Xun Zhen's ghost energy to condense the protective aura with one finger, and then stepped into the beating space.
Brush!
The space was distorted, a ray of light flashed on the spot, and the next moment they disappeared
On the eighteenth floor of the ghost prison, there are space nodes connecting each other, so the teleportation Extremely fast.
In just a few breaths, Liang Yan was squeezed out of a gap in space and fell onto a piece of yellow sand.
Looking around, the sky is full of yellow sand, poisonous miasma is everywhere, surrounded by undulating mountains. There are many caves hidden in the mountains, and thousands of monks practice in this world.
"This is the second level of the ghost prison. The prison owner is called 'King Shatuo'. He is not a human monk, but a monster." Zhao Xunzhen's voice sounded beside him.
Liang Yan nodded and asked: "What is this person's personality like? How is his magic power?"
Zhao Xunzhen replied: "King Shatuo has a violent personality and his magic power is not very strong. I guess he only has The human race has the strength to overcome two difficulties. However, he and the prison masters on the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth floors are sworn brothers. There is a telepathy between the five demons. If one of them is injured, the other four will know immediately."
Liang Yan frowned slightly after hearing this.
"In other words, I can't take action against any of these five people, otherwise it will cause turmoil and I can no longer hide my identity?"
"You can say that." Zhao Xunzhen thought. After thinking for a while, he added: "Also Yes, King Shatuo is not like Lord Ma. He has a hot temper, and he will not be able to take advantage of others. "
"I understand."
Liang Yan nodded. , said calmly: "Lead the way."
"Yes!"
Zhao Xunzhen immediately led the way.
Because they had the identity of the ghost-hand scholar as a cover, the two of them did not have to hide their auras, and they used all their strength to activate the escape light at extremely fast speeds.
About half an hour later, the two came to an ancient yellow sand village.
Compared to Lord Ma’s city on the first floor, this place looks very simple, like a secular bandit camp. There are only a few layers of fences outside. If it were not guarded by a defensive barrier, it would not be possible to tell that this is a prison. Where the Lord is.
"Which senior is here?"
The little demons guarding the gate asked loudly when they saw the light flying towards them.
Zhao Xunzhen immediately stepped forward and shouted: "Judge, how can you stop a blind thing? Open the barrier quickly!"
"Judge?"
Then The group of little demons looked at Liang Yan carefully and seemed a little hesitant.
Suddenly, one of the little demons ran towards the inside of the village, apparently to spread the news. Not long after, a pig demon wearing armor and holding a mace walked out quickly.
“It’s useless, even the judge doesn’t recognize it, why don’t you open the barrier quickly!”
This pig demon has the strength of Tongxuan Realm, and can recognize ghosts at a glance The calligrapher ordered his men to open the barrier.
Liang Yan led Zhao Xunzhen into the village and saw the pig demon with a flattering face and said with a smile: "Judge Cui, what kind of wind brought you here?"
Liang Yan frowned slightly and said calmly: "Why is it you? Where is King Shatuo? I have a secret edict from Tiangong City. Let him come to see me quickly."
After hearing this, an unnatural look flashed in the pig demon's eyes, but it immediately returned to its original state and said with a smile: "Judge Cui, why are you so impatient? You have been away from the ghost prison for hundreds of years, and you finally came back. What I just said Orders have been made to prepare fine wines and delicacies, as well as a beautiful banshee, specially prepared to take care of you.”
“Oh?”
Liang Yan glanced at him with a look. The smile is not the color of a smile.
This pig demon obviously wants to hide something. Could it be that the prison master on this level cannot show up now?
Thinking about it, he suddenly laughed loudly and said: "You are so secretive here, and you still want to lie to me? To tell you the truth, I came back this time to receive the decree from the Lord of Tiangong City, and I want to check it. The guards on the ninth floor of the ghost prison are here to prevent someone from escaping the prison! Now it seems that King Shatuo has left his post without permission, but you are here to be fooled. It seems that there is no way to escape this time!"
After hearing this, the pig demon's expression changed drastically!
"Don't, don't! My king is really in a hurry. Your Majesty, you have some friendship with the king. Can we accommodate this matter?"
Liang Yan secretly smiled in his heart, this sand As expected, King Tuo left his post without permission and was caught by himself!
He sighed, pretending to be in trouble, and said: "Well, I do have some friendship with King Shatuo. I will try my best to hide this matter from him, but you have to tell me, your king Where did it go? ”
The pig demon wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said hurriedly: "Report to the judge, King Canglan is getting married, and my king is going to congratulate me. In fact, it is not just my king, King Qianhuan, King Evergreen, and King White Bones are also going. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Zhao Xunzhen say from behind: "King Canglan is the leader of the five demons and the prison master of the sixth level. If what he said is true, then the second, third, fourth, and fifth The floors should be unguarded now.”
