The fishy stench hits your nose, pus and blood smear on the ground...
The cramped stone cage could barely accommodate two adults lying on their sides with their legs stretched out. The thin layer of dirty cloth blanket underneath was filled with leaks of all sizes.
Perhaps due to years of fertilization with blood, even the originally bluish-gray boulders are now covered with furry dark red moss, which is as long as two fingers and is very lush and dense.
When the wind blows it, it sways and makes a sound.
It looks like thousands of dark red worms struggling to wriggle their limbs. Just looking at it makes people feel a slight chill in their hearts.
A narrow gap was opened in the center of the gabion, just enough for the stranger kept inside to stretch out a hand and bring in the food bowl.
Chen Heng looked around and saw that there were only some weeds and some strange paste of unknown origin in the food bowl, and even a few broken limbs of living people that had been eaten by ghosts were mixed in randomly.
The strong fishy smell surged up in waves, and combined with the miserable appearance inside the stone cage, Chen Heng frowned slightly and shook his head inwardly.
"Junior Brother Chen..."
In the stone cage, Yu Wansi's face was distorted, and tears rolled down one after another.
Her arms were gone, and the white bone stubble and the blurred flesh that had turned gray could be clearly seen from the fracture, which was really ferocious.
"Wang Ying has been eaten alive by them, as well as Guan Jing and Zhou Erzhi, my hands..."
She tried hard to stand up, but she pulled at the wound on her arm, and the heart-breaking pain spread through her, causing Yu Wanxi to groan in her throat, the veins on her forehead were beating wildly, and she was sweating like rain.
When she trembled and looked at the tattered sleeves of her robe, there was nothing there. Looking up, she could even catch a glimpse of a few dead fat white maggots lying stiffly on the wound, motionless.
.
"My hand is gone, and Daoji is ruined..."
Yu Wanxiang felt sad for a moment, closed her eyes tightly and held back her tears.
She wanted to burst into tears.
But he suddenly remembered that he was still in the crowd at this moment, so he suppressed his grief and only let out a low sob from his throat.
It took a long time before I finally regained my composure.
Silence looked up at Chen Heng standing outside the stone cage, and was speechless for a moment.
One is in jail, his limbs are no longer intact, and his life is in jeopardy; the other is that his clothes and clothing are all clean and tidy.
Fang suddenly woke up from his drowsiness.
Hazy.
Yu Wanci thought that Chen Heng was also captured by a ghost and imprisoned in this human cage to be her companion, but she felt desperate.
At this time, my mind became a little clearer, and I realized that I had thought wrong.
In addition to laughing at myself, a secret joy of escaping from death surged up in my heart. I just hoped that this person could help me escape from this hell on earth and escape from the dead.
"Junior brother, I..."
Yu Wanxi said, but before she could finish the rest of her words, she burst into tears and choked.
"Senior Sister Yu, please forgive me."
Chen Heng sighed.
He and Yu Wansi could barely be considered old acquaintances.
As early as when Chen Heng had just been released from the water prison and had not yet attained fetal breath, Yu Wancang had met him once and even gave him a ride.
That time, it was the time when Ai Jian was distributing Xiao Baiyang Pills at Huiyue Peak and giving money to all the disciples to go to the abyss.
At that time, Chen Heng was still a mortal body, and his Qi and blood were lower than those of ordinary mortals.
With the strength of his feet at that moment, if he wanted to walk from the Luoxia Peak where he lived to the Huiyue Peak given by Ai Jianfa, he was afraid that he might not be able to succeed even if he walked from noon to dark.
It was Yu Wancang who casually helped him and brought Chen Heng back to Huiyuefeng.
At that time, this woman had just completed the foundation building work, and she was very energetic and enterprising.
But who would have expected that the two would meet again.
Not only was Yu Wansi imprisoned in a human pen by a ghost, but her arms were also missing. Her true nature was shaken, and she no longer had any chance with the orthodox immortal way.
The world is constantly changing.
It’s really elusive…
"I wonder what happened to Senior Sister Yu after she got off the 'Luoxian Lead Boat', and how she ended up in such a situation."
After Yu Wansi slowly stopped crying, Chen Heng said warmly:
"The few guarding ghosts nearby have been temporarily confused by me. Senior sister, there is no need to worry."
"It's because of Renmianzhi. It's because we overestimate our capabilities..."
Yu Wanxi felt great grief in her heart, her eyes turned red, and she spoke.
"Human Face Zhi?"
Chen Heng frowned.
…
It turns out that the "Luo Xian Lead Boat" that Yu Wanxi was riding in was not the same boat that Chen Heng was in.
She is not alone in the sect. She has some close friends. After some discussion, they naturally decided to go together to pick foreign medicine.
In this way, if something does happen to happen, there will always be someone to take care of you.
Yu Wanxi and her group were also very lucky. After several days of hard work, they actually found an unripe human face mushroom in a hidden valley.
Ai Jian's gift is not insignificant.
Even if it's just one plant, it's enough for everyone like Yu Wanxi to benefit from it.
However, when they were about to pick, the movement aroused the Yin Qi, which actually stirred up the changes in the earth's spirit within several miles, creating a desolate scene of thick clouds and mist.
At first, this strange scene only attracted the attention of a few wandering imps. Yu Wanxi and others were not afraid and easily killed them.
He took out the human face mushroom, hurriedly covered up the traces, and walked away.
But he didn't expect that just half a day later, he was surrounded by a group of ultramarine-faced fierce ghosts, who refused to let go.
Yu Wancang and others fought and retreated. Although they killed many people, they were still outnumbered. All seven of them were captured.
To this day, among the seven.
Only Yu Wansi and another foundation-building cultivator named Shi Mo were still alive, and they were imprisoned in the human pen and prepared as dishes for Miss Yue to entertain guests during her wedding.
The remaining five Qi practitioners had already been treated as rewards and devoured by the ghosts.
…
"It's because we underestimated the intelligence of these ghosts. We didn't kill all the little ghosts who came to spy on us at the beginning. We just thought that they were no different from animals and only chased blood."
Yu Wanxi lowered her head silently, her voice filled with regret, crying every word:
"There was still one kid who escaped, but I didn't pay much attention to it... Now that I think about it, it should have been the one who went to spread the news and attracted those fierce ghosts..."
The theory of spirit ghosts and turbid ghosts——
Although it has been recorded in Taoist books.
But after all, people like Yu Wanci have never entered the abyss of the earth, nor have they seen any ghosts with their own eyes. After all, they still have some contempt in their hearts and do not regard them as beings with the same intelligence as themselves.
And it was precisely because of this arrogance that Yu Wancang and her group ended up in such a miserable situation.
In fact, after being imprisoned in the human pen, Yu Wanxi also used secret techniques to call for help from her fellow disciples in the sect.
But those who received her summons.
Either they cherish their wealth and life, refuse to take risks, and just ignore it as if they haven't heard of it.
Or, he was fascinated by Yu Wanxi's beauty, and his blood surged, so he mustered up the courage in his heart and came to kill her.
It's a pity that he is not strong enough and will die in vain if he comes.
Not only was he unable to turn the tide and win the favor of the beauty, but he also turned himself into the meat of the ghosts. He watched himself being eaten by the ghosts bit by bit, and he could not rest in peace...
"Senior sister really underestimates them. Not to mention spiritual ghosts, even ordinary turbid ghosts are not that easy to deal with."
After listening to Yu Wanci's words, Chen Heng's eyes flashed and he spoke slowly:
"However, I came here today because I don't understand something, and I want to ask Senior Sister Yu for help."
Yu Wanxi was startled when she heard this.
"Just today, I once heard a spirit ghost named Ziying say that there are many monks from the sect imprisoned in this prison. According to their names, there are senior sisters, Wang Ying, and
Senior Brother Xu Zhi..."
Chen Heng's eyes darkened and he said:
"But I just walked around this human cage, and I couldn't find Senior Brother Xu Zhi in the hundreds of square stone cages...
Dare I ask Senior Sister Yu, is Senior Brother still alive?"
"Last name is Xu?"
After Yu Wansi thought for a moment, she slowly shook her head:
"This junior brother seems to have also received my message. He was concerned about the friendship between his fellow disciples. He broke into the crowd by himself the day before yesterday and tried to rescue us. However, there were too many ghosts and the numbers were disparate."
Yu Wanci lowered her head apologetically and said silently:
"An hour ago, when the spirit ghost named Miss Yue wanted to have a night snack, Junior Brother Xu had his limbs broken off by several big ghosts and was taken away. Now I'm afraid -"
"what are you saying?!"
Chen Heng was shocked.
For a moment, he rarely lost his composure, and his eyes were full of anger.
"Junior Brother Xu..."
Yu Wansi was startled and said in a hesitant voice:
"Junior Brother Xu..."
"wrong."
Chen Heng suddenly reacted, his eyes widened, he suppressed the murderous intention in his heart, and spoke slowly:
"This is definitely not senior brother, he doesn't have such courage!"
Yu Wanxi was puzzled.
"Senior Brother Xu Zhi may feel unbearable, but there is absolutely no one who is in danger and has the courage to come to rescue people among the ghosts. I am not looking down on Senior Brother. He..."
Chen Heng shook his head and continued:
"Moreover, Senior Sister Yu had always called him Senior Brother before, so why did he become Junior Brother again? It seems that we are not talking about the same person?"
"Xu Zhi? Wait...are you talking about the Xu Zhi who once worshiped Elder Gu Jun?"
Yu Wansi looked strange. After a moment, she shook her head and said:
"What I'm talking about is Junior Brother Xu in the service room. They both have the same name. So, they really are not the same person."
When Chen Heng heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
And this time.
Yu Wanxi, who could no longer bear it for a long time, raised her head, with tears in her eyes, and finally spoke:
"Junior Brother Chen, since Xu Zhi is fine, can you save my life? I really can't bear the pain and suffering! Seeing people being eaten alive by ghosts in front of me every day, I am really frightened!"
Her arms were chewed alive, and all her talismans and tools were searched.
However, the turbid yin in the abyss is so dense that it is not suitable for Taoists to stay here for a long time.
Even before the foundation of Yuwan Silk Dao is broken, you need to take Xiaobai Yang Dan on a regular basis to protect the internal organs and prevent the cold from invading the body and eventually destroying the brain.
Now her Dao foundation is ruined and her blood is weak, and she is only better than ordinary creatures.
Even if these ghosts don't come to eat her flesh and blood.
The turbid yin enters the body one after another.
I'm afraid I don't have many days left to live...
"Sister, don't worry, I won't die without saving you."
Chen Heng waved his hand and answered.
He looked around and saw hundreds of gabions like Yuwan silk, densely packed with strangers inside. The cramped space could only allow them to curl up and eat dirt like dogs.
of eating.
There are even occasionally mixed with the flesh and blood of the same race, which are forced to be eaten by ghosts and used for pleasure...
This is still a cage for so-called first-class meat products.
As for Grades B and C, they are even more indescribable.
And where is the worst kind of meat.
It is all a bloody scene like hell in this world.
Because the Yin Qi in the earth's abyss is so rich and majestic that it has reached an extremely high level, for ordinary creatures, it is undoubtedly like a poisonous medicine that cannot be tolerated for a long time.
These ghosts often use shady drugs to feed babies, so that women can shorten their pregnancy period and often give birth to many children in one pregnancy.
Although the fetus born in this way is born with incomplete spirit, it will not live long.
But as far as ghosts are concerned, whether blood food contains intelligence or not is an irrelevant matter...
Skeletons are like mountains, and bones are like forests.
Mountains of corpses and rivers of blood...
When Chen Heng saw this, he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart, and murderous intent arose.
"As the saying goes, once the evil has been eradicated, not a single ghost in this mansion deserves to die."
Chen Heng sighed and said:
"It's just that if I take action now, it's inevitable that I won't be able to catch them, and some of them will escape. Then it won't be pretty."
"What does Junior Brother Chen mean?"
"When the so-called Miss Yue's wedding comes, I heard from Ziying that all the ghosts in the mansion will come to the banquet, and there may be some guests who will come to give gifts."
Chen Heng's eyes flashed:
"On that day, it will be the best time to take action!"
Yu Wanci was stunned when she heard that. Seeing Chen Heng's understatement, she panicked and couldn't help but admonish:
"Junior brother, don't be too trusting. Those ghosts are not easy to deal with. You..."
Chen Heng smiled slightly, took out the "floating mirage bead" from his sleeve, held it in the palm of his hand, and said nothing.
After Yu Wansi saw the bead, her pupils shrank, as if she remembered something, she couldn't help but froze, and she closed her mouth, and her face suddenly showed a happy look.
"Senior sister, I hope you will suffer for a few more days."
After giving Yu Wanxi a few Xiao Baiyang Pills.
As soon as Chen Heng handed over his hand, he also said goodbye and walked towards the secluded house where Ziying placed herself.
The several ghosts guarding the first-class column were all groggy and turned a blind eye to them. They just looked obsessed, as if they had dreamed of something.
It wasn't until Chen Heng returned to the house to take a rest that he came back to his senses, but he just scratched his head and didn't think much about it, and quickly forgot about it.
Chen Heng had already used the "Floating Jade Mirage Bead" to quietly control these ghosts.
This time.
The talisman in Yan Jia's hand has made a great contribution...
…
And time flies by.
Soon, it was the wedding day for Miss Yue.
During this period, Ziying also came to look for him several times. Seeing that Chen Heng was always staying peacefully in the house, she was relieved and no longer suspected that he was there.
"It's quite lively today. How many guests are here?"
Ziying led Chen Heng towards the central hall of the mansion. Along the way, there was only a loud sound of gongs and drums, which looked very festive.
"It's not much. I only invited a few old neighbors around me. In fact, Miss Yue is not favored... I don't know if Miss Yue is getting married today. Will Mr. Shanhu and Granny Feihua send their servants to express their condolences?"
Ziying sighed and replied, worried.
In the past few days, her affection for Chen Heng has been growing day by day. Especially when she was hesitant, she even wished she could stick to him. She would even tell him about some of the secrets in the house.
Chen Heng was thoughtful after hearing this, but before he could speak, after turning around a small garden, he suddenly heard a burst of yelling and chasing.
The wind suddenly became louder.
Chen Heng stepped aside slightly.
In the next breath, I saw a black shadow flying from a distance, passing by and hitting the ground. It fell several feet away like a rolling gourd before it stopped.
The black shadow slowly stood up wailing, it was a young man wearing a mysterious robe.
"Brother, are you okay?"
Seeing him looking at him in a daze, Chen Heng asked casually.
"No...nothing?"
Song Rupu felt that every part of her body was in pain.
He wiped his face in confusion, turned to look at Chen Heng, and just as he was about to hand over his hands to apologize, his expression suddenly froze, and then he looked ecstatic!
"What is the beauty of the posture? This is the beauty of the posture! Who am I, Song Rupu, I am nothing! Mr. Fu, my eyes are opened! This time I finally opened my eyes!"
Song Rupu burst into tears and ran towards Chen Heng, shouting:
"No need to get married! Finally no need to get married! Finally someone came to take my place! Hahahaha!
I have accumulated virtues and done good deeds throughout my life, and today I finally met you——"
"Brother, you are joking."
Chen Heng calmly kicked Song Rupu away, who was running towards him, and said calmly:
