Ma Lei was so frightened that his heart almost jumped out of his mouth. He sat on the ground and couldn't even stand up. He felt dizzy again, and the scene around him began to distort. The "ghosts" seemed to have escaped from the cage.

He walked out and opened his mouth wide open at him.

Ma Lei huddled on the ground holding his head, not daring to look at this horrific scene of purgatory.

In a trance, Ma Lei heard Ye Xuanlang's voice. Ye Xuanlang was crying: Good news, good news, what's wrong with you?

Ye Xuanlang's voice made Ma Lei regain some sense and courage. He slowly raised his head and looked around again. Those "ghosts" were still in the cage.

Ma Lei followed the sound and saw that Ye Xuanlang was standing in front of an iron cage, holding hands with the "ghost" inside through the iron cage.

Ma Lei really came to hell. After completing his mission, he planned to go back, so he stood up with all his strength, staggered over, grabbed Ye Xuanlang, and wanted to leave hell with him.

Ye Xuanlang turned his head and glanced at Ma Lei, and then realized that he was not here to get together with his lover, but to take his lover home.

Ye Xuanlang fumbled to open the iron cage, but couldn't find the door after searching for a long time.

Ma Lei looked up and saw that the door of the iron cage was at the top, with a thick iron chain and a black iron lock.

Ma Lei pointed upward to Ye Xuanlang and pulled him back, meaning don't save him. You don't have the key, so you can't save him.

But Ye Xuanlang didn't care at all, and clumsily climbed up the iron cage to grab the iron chain.

Ma Lei hurried to see the two ghosts who seemed to be sleeping, for fear that the sound of the chains would wake them up.

Fortunately, the ghost officer was probably not on duty at this time. He was so sleepy that they couldn't hear the screams of the "ghost" in the iron cage, nor could they hear the sound of the iron chain hitting the iron cage.

Ye Xuanlang came down from the iron cage and returned without success. He said to Ma Lei: The key must be found.

Ma Lei still pulled Ye Xuanlang, meaning to ask him to escape with him quickly.

But Ye Xuanlang remained unmoved. Although his body was swaying, he just wouldn't leave.

Ye Xuanlang said to Ma Lei: You go first and leave me alone.

Ma Lei could see that Ye Xuanlang's determination to stay was the same as his determination to escape, because Ye Xuanlang's lover was here, and Ma Lei's lover was in the world.

Ma Lei climbed up the stairs with difficulty. Just as he touched the first wooden step, he heard Ye Xuanlang's voice coming from behind him.

Ye Xuanlang said: If I can't go out, go back and tell my mother that I'm with the good news, it's fine, don't read it.

Ma Lei turned around, and the scene in front of him was so frightening that he almost fainted.

Ye Xuanlang found the key, which was hanging on Gui Cha's waist. Ye Xuanlang wanted to grab the key from Gui Cha.

Ye Xuanlang's hand stayed very close to the key chain on Gui Cha's waist, signaling Ma Lei to go upstairs quickly. He would wait for him to escape from this level of hell before waking up Gui Cha.

Ma Lei landed on all fours again, crawling up like an animal running for his life.

When he climbed one and a half floors, he heard Ye Xuanlang's screams below, the ghosts' roars, and all the "ghosts" in the cage also screamed together.

Harsh and terrifying screams rushed up the stairs to the ceiling.

Ma Lei was in a daze. He didn't know how long he had been crawling, but he felt exhausted. He seemed to have fallen asleep for a while, but also seemed not to have slept, seemed to have not moved, and seemed to be floating.

When he regained consciousness again, Ma Lei was still on the stairs, clinging to the wooden steps.

The surroundings were quiet. He tried to open his mouth and was able to make a sound. The ghost hand that had been covering his mouth was gone.

Ma Lei felt that the ghost hand meant that he was in the netherworld, and the disappearance of the ghost hand meant that he had returned to the human world.

Ma Lei felt that the left side of his body was colder than the right side, as if the wind was blowing from the left to the right.

He tried his best to climb up to an unknown level and headed in the direction of the wind.

Maybe his life should not be cut off, Ma Lei felt the wind getting stronger and stronger, and there began to be a faint moonlight cast from the side on the ground.

He finally found the entrance and the exit to escape.

After climbing out, Ma Lei said to the onlookers who were almost scared away before falling into coma: I have been to hell.

Ma Lei slept for two hours and started painting when he woke up. He was worried that if it was too late, he would forget what he saw in hell.

He didn't care about his physical weakness, the blood marks on his body that were caught by "ghosts", and he didn't care about sending a message to Ye Xuanlang's mother. He painted from dusk to dawn, and from dawn to dusk. Finally, he finished painting a picture of hell.

.

The news that Ma Lei came out of the Nether Tower alive alone was spread by the group of onlookers, so people who were curious about the hell map began to come to the door one after another.

Ma Lei couldn't bear the disturbance and had to hide in Wen Miaozi's house. As for the picture of hell he drew, he gave it to Wen Miaozi, who took him to the mountain and found a place to hide it.

Just wait for the buyer to pay and deliver the goods.

"So thrilling!" Yu Qingfeng was dumbfounded after listening to Ma Lei's long story.

Ma Lei was sweating profusely as he re-experienced the journey to the Netherworld Tower as he narrated the story.

"To be honest, I had some regrets at first. But the moment I saw Miao Zi after I came back, I no longer regretted it. Now that I have met you, I have no regrets anymore!"

Yu Qingfeng thought for a while and assigned Ma Lei a task.

First, I painted the ghost scenes in the Netherworld Tower that were sold as peripherals, including Ma Lei himself with white filaments wrapped around his neck, Ma Lei himself with ghost hands covering his mouth, and Ma Lei when he was stuck between the wooden boards.

The ghost that lives in Ma Lei's feet. Of course, it only needs to be a beautiful woman, not necessarily a warm and beautiful purple.

Then build a picture of the entire hell in your mind, divide it into eighteen parts, and draw eighteen details respectively. It must include the fire, the ghosts, the ghosts locked in the iron cage, especially the open

The ghost with no tongue in its mouth, the scene of the reunion between Ye Xuanlang and Mu Jiayin.

For the rest, Yu Qingfeng allowed Ma Lei, a painting madman, to express himself freely. They gave Ma Lei seven days to retreat here and meditate on painting, and were not allowed to see Wen Miaozi during this period, so as not to be disturbed. The children's personal relationship was close to each other.

It will delay the business.

Ma Lei readily agreed. He believed that Wen Miaozi would fully support him after hearing about this matter. Compared with the bright future, the difference of only seven days was nothing.

Pei Wuyan dispatched four Dali Temple guards, disguised as their attendants, to stay and watch over Ma Lei to protect his safety. If Wen Miaozi comes, they must be prevented from meeting.

After coming out of the inn, it was getting late, so the four of them headed back to the palace, planning to find the three witnesses in the first ghost case early tomorrow morning to trace the source of the hallucination suggestion.

On the carriage ride back, Yu Qingfeng kept thinking.

Lian Shurong is eager to share with you:

"What kind of medicine is this? It can cause different hallucinations for different people. Ye Xuanlang can see Mu Jiayin in hallucinations; Ma Lei's hallucinations are even richer, such as white filaments, ghost hands, and warm

Wonderful purple.”

Yu Qingfeng came to her senses and shared her reasoning:

"The white filament should be the whisk in the eunuch's hand, and the ghost hand covering his mouth is a symbol of tight-lippedness. In Ma Lei's subconscious..."

"Subconscious?" Lian Shurong caught another new word that he didn't understand.

Yu Qingfeng was too lazy to explain, so she said in one sentence, "It's something he already knew, but thought he didn't know.

"In short, Ma Lei's fear was buried deep in his heart, so in his hallucination, he saw the whisk that was the source of his fear in the past, and the ghost hand covering his mouth. He knew that the secret he knew would bring him death.

If you want to save your life, you must shut up."

Pei Wuyan nodded in agreement and continued his analysis:

"He also knew that Wen Miaozi would bring him the disaster of death. It was the painted-skinned female ghost who pulled him into the abyss. The saying 'I can go up as soon as you come down' showed that Ma Lei already suspected that Wen Miaozi was sent to kill him.

He is a dead soldier, but he just avoids it and doesn't want to face it."

Lin Ming was convinced, "That must be the case."

"I'm still saying the same thing, what kind of medicine is so amazing?" Lian Shurong was still struggling with the drug issue, "Besides these hallucinations, there are oil lamps that fall and fall from above, iron cages from hell, and nothingness.

The grudge-tongued ghost..."

"The first level of the eighteen levels of hell is the tongue pulling hell..." Yu Qingfeng suddenly said to Lian Shurong in a sinister tone.

Lian Shurong was so frightened by Yu Qingfeng's strange eyes and tone that he shuddered, "Is that why Ma Lei and Ye Xuanlang had such hallucinations?"

"No, these are just Ma Lei's hallucinations. Only Ye Xuanlang knows what Ye Xuanlang's hallucinations are. However, I don't know if he will have a chance to say it." Yu Qingfeng is not optimistic about Ye Xuanlang's fate.

"So we must visit the Netherworld Tower as soon as possible. Maybe there is no Bonan Club at all, only the unconscious Ye Xuanlang." Lian Shurong was eager to give it a try.

Lin Ming patted Lian Shurong on the shoulder, "It's better to be careful. We are alone. What if it's a trap?"

"That's right, it's not safe to ask people from Zhan Yaoyuan or Qi Yao for help. Both of them are suspicious, so there's no guarantee that we won't fall into a trap ourselves." Pei Wuyan pondered and made a decision, "It's better to wait until we have reasoning.

, with confidence, defeat the enemy with one more blow."

***

"Brother Wuyan, you are finally back."

As soon as they got off the carriage, they were greeted personally by Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Su Niang, the maid next to Qi Yao, said in a dull mezzo-soprano voice: "Master Pei, Her Royal Highness the Princess has been waiting for you at the door for an hour."

This kind of servant who is particularly talkative must have a scheming master.

Qi Yao hasn't reconciled yet, but he is so blatantly pursuing Pei Wuyan.

Pei Wuyan responded coldly: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. It's cold at night. I hope Your Highness will take care of yourself."

Qi Yao was satisfied and smiled shyly, revealing his two dimples.

"Brother Wuyan, dinner is ready and waiting for you to come back."

"Sorry, Your Highness, we have already had dinner." The hungry Pei Wuyan opened his eyes and lied.
