Cold Mountain Bells to Passenger Ships

25. The head forest of the ancient criminal forest chief

As soon as you step into the ancient criminal forest, the sunlight above is blocked by the trees, and even the sound of birds disappears, only the rustling of boots stepping on the grass...

Crack!

Lu Weiran grasped the palm of his right hand out of thin air, and a sterling silver sword was formed. The sharp blade was inlaid with seven seven-star swords representing the Big Dipper, including Tianhe, amber, turquoise, emerald, blue sky, gold, and coral. He held his sword and raised his head and squatted down, Qin Su punched and set up a kung fu stand, Lang Yingjie raised his Jiupeng sword and looked around, Zhong Lidao said...he didn't do anything.

With both hands behind his back, Zhong Lidao seemed to be walking around a high platform, and the Shangqiong sword was tied around his waist, and he didn't feel a sense of killing. It was obviously a fairy sword, but he forced it into a royal artifact by his royal aura.

Changfeng didn't expect that he stepped on a branch, causing the other three people to react as if they were frightened. They almost greeted him with weapons, fists and feet. Lu Weiran glared at him and said, "What time is it, be serious!"

Chang Feng clasped his palms together and said in a repentant manner: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Do it again!"

As soon as you step into the ancient criminal forest, the sunlight above is blocked by the woods, and even the sound of birds disappears, only the rustling of boots stepping on the grass.

Then even the space was distorted, with huge stone pillars appearing on both sides, the leaves above the head were replaced by old palaces, dilapidated and rough buildings, vestibules, gardens, floating withers, fountains, etc. all have a sense of the history of a thousand-year-old country, and some birds The head and body, like buildings, have incomplete wings, arms or beaks, which has a rough and wild beauty here.

Qin Su approached a stone to look at it, and said: "These architectural methods and statues don't look like they come from the Central Plains, why?"

Zhong Lidao walked up to him and said, "Huangxi Country, in the name of enshrining the Golden Roc Sphinx, believes that the clansmen are the descendants of the Golden Roc Sphinx. This execution ground is explained from the point of view of today's people, but there is actually a funnel." A huge square surrounded by platforms, a bit like the design of a tavern, but it is open-air, there will be a mechanism under the square to control the platform, let a person go in and fight with monsters until one of them falls down , this is one of the favorite entertainments of the nobles of the Huangxi Kingdom."

Changfeng stood in front of a rusty cage covered with moss, reached out to pull the chain inside, one end was fixed at the bottom of the cage, and said, "Is this for monsters? This thing is nailed to the ground. , Huh! Is this bamboo pipe used to catch water?"

There is a bamboo tube inside each cage, half buried in the stone mud, extending all the way out.

Zhong Lidao and Qin Su passed by him and said, "It's for people. People who fail to fight in the square and get injured will be thrown into this cage, and the iron chains are used to hold the monsters. Once the cage is opened, the monsters will be thrown into this cage." Jumping over to eat, the length of the chain has been measured, it will just keep the monster near the cage, and it will not run out too long, the bamboo tube can dredge the excess corpse water inside, so that the blood will not stagnate and rot Stinky, similar to the blood groove design on the top of the knife, by the way, the plate you are holding now is filled with feces of ferocious beasts."

Chang Feng hurriedly threw away the red rusty iron plate, and felt sick to his stomach when he saw the black dry particles on his palm. His clothes and accessories were made of high-grade materials, and they must not be stained with dust, feces, or anything else. Hold up your hands and see When Lang Yingjie walked over looking around, he stretched out his hand and patted him on the back. Lang Yingjie looked up at him in puzzlement, and Changfeng said, "Is it possible that your master is locked up underground? After all, he loves to explore so much. It's a great place to stay!"

Seeing that he was serious about what he said, Lang Yingjie thought for a while and said: "But the building here is so strange, I want to go down and have a look, Master might get lost inside." After speaking, he walked all the way into the main hall.

It seems that this ancient criminal forest is a huge comprehensive square of the Huangxi Kingdom, and it should have been built by the royal family. There are floating on both sides of the promenade, under the fountain, and at the bottom of the stone pillars. There are scenes of singing praises to the king, or holding a spear The soldiers pulled the iron chain, and the other end was a huge monster, which was eating other people. The people who were swallowed were wearing Central Plains costumes. It seems that the Huangxi Kingdom captured many people from the Central Plains at that time, as a result of two-phase killing with monsters. Candidates, and some criminal Chinese people will also be thrown into the square, among them, in addition to monsters, ghouls, ghosts and other ghosts will also be put in.

Passing through the vestibule and the garden, there is a concave-shaped room. Lu Weiran saw a pile of weapons hanging on the wall, and reached out to hold a gun. The gun barrel was covered with thick blood, which stuck to the wall and could not move. Wei Ran studied and said: "It seems that these are for people who are going to the square. After they have selected their weapons here, they come and go, and there are at least a thousand resentful spirits of failed people deposited on them, tsk tsk! It's really bloody, how could there be such a thing?" Insane entertainment?"

His question can only be answered by the people of Huangxi Country. The original nature of human beings is to survive in the wilderness. Killing, loess and flesh and blood are intertwined into this space. Lu Weiran has read the relevant history books, and the Central Plains people do not understand why they commit crimes. The prisoners of war will be thrown into a square to fight each other with ghosts. It can only be understood as a execution ground. In the follow-up, very few people have recorded in detail about the cultural traditions of the Huangxi country. As for the name of the ancient punishment forest, they have not changed it .

Lu Weiran usually studies unpopular ancient buildings, relics, and paradoxes. He is still attracted by this unique country when he sees those records with his own eyes. From time to time, I am amazed at why these people came up with such cruel and violent criminal laws.

Changfeng himself doesn’t like to read books, so don’t read them if you can. As a general, he fought many battles. He doesn’t think much of these architectural styles, styles and cultures that are completely different from the Central Plains. He thinks that both criminals and prisoners of war must follow the rules. Being tortured, instead of using them to kill each other with monsters and ghosts as their own entertainment, I can't help but feel contemptuously that barbarians are barbarians, and they deserve to perish. It's terrible to be uneducated!

Zhong Lidao obviously reads at ordinary times and can swallow even remote knowledge. He knows these historical relics better than Lu Weiran. The handle like a door knocker is all made of stone and there are seats covered with animal skins on both sides, but those seats are facing the rectangular platform, and the sign is: "Is this a place for auction?"

Zhong Lidao propped his chin with his index finger, thought for a while, and said, "This is a platform for selling women, strip them naked and tie them to the stone ring, and then someone will go up to inspect the goods in public... Well, that's what you think That means."

Qin Su knocked on that platform in the past, it was indeed suitable for an adult to lie on, with his hands shoulder-width apart, the scene was unimaginable, and while the two were talking, Chang Feng, who was standing in the distance beside the stone pillar, shouted: "You two Don't shake anymore, where is Lang Yingjie?"

Lu Weiran was obviously immersed in it, took out a pen and paper to draw some embossed content, and recorded it carefully along with the rectangular platform, Qin Su said: "You don't need to memorize this..."

Seeing Chang Feng's anxious face, Lu Weiran hurried over and said, "What's going on?"

Changfeng stood under a huge floating wither, the ground parted left and right, and there was a square opening for one person to go down. The stone steps extended down to the end and were hidden in the darkness.

Chang Feng said: "That kid didn't know what mechanism he bumped into just now, the ground suddenly opened up, and when I turned my head, I was gone, probably fell into the hole."

Lu Weiran said sternly: "Okay! We are not here for sight-seeing, so put on a 12-point mentality. Don't let the Yaoze people miss you. Let Yingjie go in first. Everyone follow and don't get separated."

As if he was not the one who studied the historical relics most seriously just now, Lu Weiran walked the stone steps first and disappeared into the darkness, Chang Feng said to Qin Su: "You go down first."

He wanted to separate Qin Su from Zhong Lidao, but Qin Su was worried about Zhong Lidao, and felt that he had to look at him to feel at ease, so he said, "Brother, you go first."

Chang's temperament is terrible, and it's not easy to get angry with Qin Su. Shizhong raised two fingers, pointed at his eyes, and threatened Zhong Lidao: "I will stare at you! Keep staring at you, don't try to play tricks !"

Qin Su said helplessly: "Brother, stop making trouble."

Changfeng stretched out his feet to step on the stone steps, took another look at Qinsu, and then walked down mutteringly: "Follow me closely, this place is quite gloomy, it seems that there will be some ghosts running from all kinds of tricky places at any time Come out, the design is also very strange, why is the garden built in front of the main hall? The wall is still so low, the people of Huangxi country mixed something with something... I don't understand the thinking of these barbarians...."

When his figure gradually disappeared into the tunnel, Qin Su said: "A Li, I feel that there is a weird atmosphere here, as if there are many people walking around or looking at us all the time, but they are completely unpredictable." If you feel a bit of ghost energy, stay alert and don't let go of the poor sword."

Zhong Lidao shook his hand and said, "With you here, I'm not afraid."

Qin Su's expression softened, and he wiped his palms with his thumbs, letting him walk in front of him, and the four of them moved forward. Lu Weiran held out a cold flame, and the blue light illuminated the surroundings. The stone wall was a little damp. Qin Su thought it would take a long time to walk Before reaching the foot of Yizhuxiang, the ground is no longer stone steps but a flat road, which is a bit like a corridor combined with tomb robbers, it is quite open, with rooms separated by walls on both sides, surrounded by iron bars, Lu Weiran The cold flame moved up and down: "Ah! So it's a dungeon, isn't this a dungeon?"

No one answered him.

When he turned around, Changfeng, Qinsu and Zhonglidao had long since disappeared, and he was left alone in the empty underground passage. He felt a suffocating sense of surveillance in the air, drew out the Seven Star Sword to protect his chest, and tried to shout Said: "Changfeng?"

His voice hit the surroundings, knocking out continuous echoes.

On the empty stone brick and concrete wall, Qin Su held the scabbard of Shangqiong sword, followed Zhong Lidao into another space, Zhong Li said: "Fortunately, brother Qin is smart, if you hold hands, you will definitely be disturbed. People are replaced with other things, and the Shangqiong sword has immortal energy, and ghosts dare not touch it directly."

Qin Su clapped with one hand: "I have had a feeling since I entered the ancient punishment forest. Many people are looking at us, not just at me, but at five of us. It feels like being surrounded by hundreds of people..."

Zhong Lidao continued: "Surveillance, strong desires are mixed in, so it is probably understandable, why ten people came in, and nine went out crazily, if I guessed correctly, the building above is not the ancient criminal forest, here begins It is the ancient punishment forest."

The sense of alienness here is too strong. Sometimes no matter how critical the scene is, at least it is within the scope of my own cognition. The main cause, background, and causal relationship of the formation of resentful spirits and ghosts can be deduced from their pre-life environment, and here It has been dusty for a long time, many of the decorations and statues are not things that are recognized, the customs and culture are unheard of before, the historical records are limited, and there are more things that have not been seen. The right hand rests on Zhong Lidao's left hand, holding the pillar together with the opponent's palm.

Qin Su never felt anything approaching, the air was full of oppression but no shadow ghost approached, but the shuddering feeling of being watched by hundreds of people became more and more intense, and the two of them searched for a way out in the underground prison with twists and turns.

After walking for a while, the road ahead diverged into two roads, both with the view of the cell, but the cell door was not locked, and the slightly opened iron railing made a creaking sound. The space buried here is limited, and Qin Su dared not use ebony Gongshen was afraid that an arrow would directly collapse and bury it. He didn't even know how deep it was from above. Qin Su's nerves were tense, and the hands and scabbard in his palm were covered with heat. Zhong Lidao felt his whole body A heavy and powerful aura enveloped him, and he said, "Brother Qin, are you alright?"

Qin Su's eyes were heavy, meeting Zhong Lidao's eyes, the two of them stopped at the same time.

Kang Clang!Kang Clang!Kang Clang!Kang Clang!Kang Clang!

There is a straight road in the front and back, and there are large and small standard prison cells on both sides. The prison doors open and close slightly when there is no wind, as if someone is playing with those iron doors.

Qinsu punched with his left arm and turned slightly sideways, Zhong Lidao looked at his solemn expression.

Kang Clang!Kang Clang!Kang Clang!Kang Clang!Kang Clang!

Zhong Lidao listened attentively and analyzed, "It sounds like dragging some iron weapon."

This place will continuously unload all spiritual power spells. Fortunately, Qinsu is very used to hand-to-hand combat. The setting here is stronger than that in Fuling's Tomb. It was the same distance, neither fast nor slow, very regular, but it was obvious that he was holding an iron object such as an axe to rub against the ground, not wanting to raise the noise, Qin Su turned his head and saw the road coming from behind, and was silently caught Thick yellow mud and rammed earth are blocked, and there is no way to retreat if you don't advance!

Kang Clang!Kang Clang!Kang Clang!Kang Clang!Kang Clang!

The sound was very disturbing. The bottom end of this tunnel is Qinsu and Zhongli, and the other end is surrounded by darkness.

Kang Clang!Kang Clang!Kang Clang!Kang Clang!Kang Clang!

As the sound approached, Qin Su pulled Zhonglidao behind him, and Zhonglidao was blocked by him, still poking his head curiously to see who came.

Kang Clang!Kang Clang!Kang Clang!Kang Clang!Kang Clang!

Dirty bare feet were exposed under a pair of tattered trousers, and above the knees were hidden in the darkness. This place is like a single-plank bridge, and the only way is to let the person on the opposite side lean against the wall to make way, otherwise no one will even think about crossing, or one person will be alone first. It is impossible to enter the cells on both sides. The yellow mud on the top of the head is very low. The tallest of the five is Changfeng at 1.9 meters. He can touch the top without straightening his hands up. Su himself is 1.8 meters tall, so narrow it is difficult to draw a bow and shoot an arrow. Seeing the other party standing still, Zhongli said with a smile: "It's a donkey or a horse. You can tell if it's a donkey or a horse. This donkey brother, please excuse me." Dao, let us brothers go over!"

He spoke as usual, with a youthful and lively tone, and the weird feeling in the whole space was diluted a lot. His way of speaking was a bit like greeting, with a calm provocation.

The other party was really fooled. After all, being accused of being a donkey would not feel very good. No matter how much Zhong Lidao knew about this place, he would know better than the people living here. If you come, you will be safe, change the tactics to force the opponent to make the first move, and fight as soon as you can!

That person, correct me, that thing took a step forward, exposing the upper body. It was a thick man with some fat on his stomach, and his upper body was covered with black dust. He was only wearing a pair of tattered trousers. Instead of a human head on his shoulder, it was a dark heart. A brown pig's head, with two black eyeholes.

Zhongli said: "He is responsible for patrolling and monitoring criminals!"

There is a row of crooked and ugly black lines under the pig's head, presumably someone chopped off its head and replaced it with a pig's head, the way of abuse is extremely troublesome!

The pig-brained man is dragging a heavy iron rod covered with black stains, and there are spikes of different sizes wrapped around it. Overall, it looks like he is holding this thing and hitting the opponent. It is difficult to kill people in a short while, and it will be painful It's true.

Qin Su let go of Zhong Lidao's hand, cupped his hands at the thing, and silently expressed that he was going to make a move, but the other party looked at him slowly, Qin Su touched the ground with his right foot, and started a step, making a dull sound One sound.

Boom!

His figure shot out like a shooting star, his left hand pressed the right hand of the pig-headed man holding the iron bar, and his left hand pushed the tower up to support it. The pig-headed man's head was tilted upwards at an incredible angle.

Daoist Zhong Li went up to Qiongjian and backhanded his back. Knowing that Qin Su thought he was injured, he charged forward. The small hole in his abdomen had healed a long time ago, and there was no trace of it. Next, put two fingers on the door frame of the prison, pushing it back and forth to play.

The pig-headed man reacted extremely slowly, the pig's nose was hit upwards by Qin Su's three-point force, Qin Su stopped moving, and no one moved.

Why do you have to be polite before fighting this kind of ghost?It doesn't understand either, Brother Qin... Let go of it!

The pig-headed man slowly turned the pig's head to face Qinsu, and Qinsu quickly jumped back to make a distance, and then the ground shook from side to side for a while, coming and going quickly, and the two sides looked at each other.

Qin Su's right fist is at the back, and Zuo Ping fist is three inches in front of the right collarbone. The posture is exactly the "White Tiger Fist" starting posture!

Zhong Lidao pointed down with his index finger: "Something is coming up from below."

Qin Su looked down and saw that the legs of his white trousers were entangled with dozens of dirty hands, and the ground seemed to have grown a bunch of arms, thick and thin, all covered with dust and soot, almost as dirty as a pig-headed man.

Zhong Lidao saw that those hands were meant to disturb the effect, but they were very dirty. A silver light waved out, like mowing grass, the arms snapped into pieces, and immediately "grow" hundreds of them to mess around. Grab, Zhong Lidao grabbed the iron pole with one hand, let his body off the ground, he was like a flag hanging on the prison door, dangling back and forth to tease the frantically scratching fingers below, and said to Qin Su: "Brother Qin! Things fit together."

With his back on his back, Qin Su tilted his head slightly, indicating that he heard it.

Sure enough, the slow-moving pig-headed man suddenly raised the iron bar and smashed it down on Qin Su's head!

Qin Su jumped up, sideways to avoid the opponent's iron rod, and the dense spikes rubbed against his nose and smashed into the grass on the ground. Qin Su grabbed his shoulder with his left hand, put his left foot on its back, and punched him with his right fist." "Tiger going up the mountain" straight fist with [-]% strength and punch down hard!

The pig-headed man made a grunting sound, and Qin Su hit a straight fist with his right hand. It turned out that a black hole was punched out from the back to the chest of the pig-headed man, and black cockroaches crawled out of the hole!

No matter what strange scenes Zhong Lidao saw, he was very leisurely. At this moment, the pig-headed man had a hole in his body, and he didn't spray blood. Those cockroaches were like broken rice bags, and they sprayed out with a bang!

The pig-headed man turned around and continued to swing the iron rod, shaking his neck and shoulders, as if he wanted to kill the angrily attacking mosquito lying on his back.

Qin Su leaped back to the prison door on the right, lowered his head to ponder the touch of his fists, Zhong Lidao saw those cockroaches scattered and landed in the hand grass, crawling wildly with their beards, the hand grass would not deliberately catch them, no matter There were too many hands and too many cockroaches. Some people caught the cockroach with random hands and popped it. The white pulp was all over their hands, and the stench spread in the air. It was as disgusting as it was disgusting!

Zhong Lidao really didn't read the almanac when he went out, the nemesis of the emperor of Dongsha is here!

With a calm expression on his face, he climbed up the iron pole, the farther away from the ground the better, those cockroaches were twice as big as those in the kitchen scraps bucket, their reddish-brown feet were crawling around, and the thorns on their feet were all magnified, Zhongli said Stomach acid is churning, lips are pale, and cold sweat is flowing, the whole person can't wait to stick to the top!

The tastes of the people of Huangxi Country are really interesting!

How empty and boring life is to think of putting cockroach eggs in human body?

Do you want to disgust yourself or future generations?

Qinsu turned a blind eye to those cockroaches, and raised his fist to attack with frosty expression. While dodging the violent beating of the pig-headed man, he was able to fight back through the gaps. The fist moves are vigorous, Qin Su's figure is like the glow of the full moon, and the offensive is steady, covering a sense of calmness and forbearance.

Zhong Lidao saw a cockroach flying to the top of the iron rod, this thing can fly!

The cockroach swayed its tentacles, and approached Zhong Lidao's indigo hem step by step. The fat and ring-shaped abdomen was attached to the rusty iron rod, and the huge shadow gradually approached the poor boy.

He knew that Qin Su was busy, but he still couldn't hold back his pleading: "Brother Qin..."

His voice was very low, Qin Su punched the pig-headed man's nose with a heavy punch, the stitches on the thing's neck cracked, Qin Su raised his left hand and swept across, hitting the pig-headed man's throat hard, and the pig-headed man leaned forward To press him, Qin Su leaned sideways against the wall, stepped on the pig-headed man's shoulders, his head brushed over the top, and jumped to the bottom of Zhong Lidao's cell with his strength. The arm that came out pushed up, raised the iron rod and rushed towards Qinsu!

Zhong Lidao huddled in the upper corner, frightened and blurred, and his figure became very faint. Qin Su raised his left foot and whipped his leg. There was a stone wall between Zhongli Dao and the cell next door, and he kicked it through in an instant. There was a loud noise, and the rocks above fell, and thousands of cockroaches in the dust were shaken down one after another. They were pressed down together with those annoying arms. Qin Su jumped into the air and hugged Zhong Lidao who just let go. Turning around and falling, the body of the pig-headed man behind him collapsed along with the stone wall!

They stood on an independent platform, and the reverse square set in the dungeon was kicked into ruins by Qin Su and disappeared.

Qin Su's eyes returned to the usual indifference, and he lowered his head to show a very faint smile to Zhong Lidao. Zhong Lidao wrapped his arms around his neck, and finally regained some blood.

It is very difficult not to love such a person who can save himself from the terrifying tide of cockroaches!
