Chapter 521 Good words are hard to persuade the damn ghost
Chapter 521 It’s hard to persuade a damned person with good words
Following Qing Shu's words "Come in", Chong Wu and Lu Li rushed to the entrance of the school building, each standing on either side, firmly occupying the gate. A person got out of the carriage, it was Shouchun Xing Jingtai.
Jingtai chuckled and held his hands in front of the steps. Qingshu extended his hand to invite: "Jing Xingxing, please!"
Jingtai smiled and said, "That's too much trouble."
Qingshu asked Zhong Liying: "Where is the person imprisoned? Is he in a dungeon?"
Zhong Liying closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "Qing Xingxing, does it have to be like this?"
Qingshu shook his head and said: "You don't know what to say. Don't worry. After the matter is completed, you can leave Yangzhou and come to Linzi to join me again. In the future, you will become a god and you may not be able to walk anywhere. Isn't it better than being trapped in a mere Yangzhou?"
hundred times?"
Jingtai also said: "Zhong Liying, I heard Deacon Qing praise you a long time ago, saying that you are proficient in general affairs, have a general understanding of the general affairs, are honest and loyal, and are impeccable in doing things. If you don't want to leave Chu State, you can come to Shouchun.
All the general affairs of my Shouchun Academy will be left to you."
Zhongwu and Lu Li looked at Zhongli with eager eyes. When they first came to Yangzhou, they had a lot of dealings with Zhongliying. In the entire Yangzhou school, Zhongliying was the only one who could catch his eyes, and they each advised him.
One said: "Zhongli, what's wrong with returning to the service of Deacon Qing? Can Sun Wu convince the people when he walks in Yangzhou? Are you convinced? At least we are not convinced."
Another said: "Zhongli, you have to think carefully. Qing Xingxing is willing to support you. If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to do it again."
Seeing that Zhong Liying didn't speak, Jingtai said in a serious tone: "Zhong Liying, the school is so big, do you really want to wait for us to find the person? By then it will be too late!"
Zhong Liying murmured and nodded: "That's fine. You can go to the dungeon."
Everyone rushed to the backyard dungeon. Zhong Wu and Lu Li held Zhong Liying forward to prevent him from escaping. Zhong Wu asked: "Where are the others?"
Zhong Liying said: "They are all in the dungeon."
Chongwu said: "Zhongli, this is the right choice."
There is a pond in the backyard of Yangzhou Academy, and the rockery beside the pond is the entrance to the dungeon.
Qing Shu winked at Zhong Liying and said, "Call the door."
Zhong Liying stepped forward and knocked three times on a sound stone above his head. The sound stone made a pleasant sound, and the stone door of the dungeon suddenly opened.
Zhong Wu pushed Zhong Liying behind him and pushed him into the dungeon. The others followed behind and filed in, leaving Lu Li guarding the entrance to the dungeon.
The structure of the Yangzhou dungeon is the same as that of most school buildings in the world. After going down a few feet along the stone steps, there is a damp and dark tunnel. In the tunnel, there are torture chambers, stone houses, prison cells, water prisons, etc., of different lengths. For example
The dungeon in the Shouchun Academy was shorter, with only four cells, while the dungeon in the Yangzhou Academy was more than twice as long - the Baiyue wilderness under the jurisdiction of the Yangzhou Academy had too many prisoners.
Six or seven feet further along the tunnel, there is a water prison at the corner ahead. Everyone has already heard the sound of people talking and talking in the water prison, but the sound is vague and not very real.
Qing Shu and Zhong Wu both knew very well that if there was an ambush, this would be the best place, so they pushed Zhong Liying around the corner first.
Just as Zhong Liying turned around, everyone's eyes suddenly dimmed. The torch bulbs on the wall seemed to have been blown by the wind, and the flames bent.
At the same time, the chatter that had just come from the water prison suddenly disappeared, and the dungeon became eerily quiet.
None of them were inexperienced novices. Everyone immediately knew something was wrong. They distanced themselves from each other, sacrificed their magic weapons, and held their breaths in concentration.
Zhongwu called out: "Zhongli?"
There was no response from the other side of the corner, so he called again: "Zhong Liying? What the hell are you doing?"
Seeing that there was still no response, Zhongwu threw the flying sword out and danced into sword flowers around the corner. Looking under the cover of the magic weapon, he couldn't help being startled, and turned back to look at Qingshu and Jingtai.
A huge iron shield stood erected in the tunnel. Countless sharp thorns protruded from the shield mountain, reflecting a blue luster in the dim firelight, blocking the way.
Having been in the Academy for many years, Jonggo recognized it at a glance. It was the Wolf Fang Hundred-Nail Shield. Ten of them were refined in total and all were stored in the Qifu Pavilion. When the Academy fought against the Demonic Way, the Academy was at the forefront.
The monks then formed a shield array.
Qingshu and Jingtai also came forward to check. They were more knowledgeable than Zhongwu, and they immediately recognized that this was the small shield of the Wolf Fang Hundred-Nail Shield. When the academy was refining this shield, there were still some scraps left in the materials.
, because they were relatively precious, they were refined into several small shields.
For personal protection, a small shield is far less effective than a large shield, but setting up one in this tunnel is enough to trap them in a short time, making them unable to move forward even half a step.
Jingtai asked: "Didn't you set it up at that time?"
Qing Shu said: "Of course not, it must be set up by Sun Wu. Zhong Liying!"
Zhong Liying still didn't answer, Qing Shu said angrily: "Zhong Liying, don't think that if you hide behind, I can't help you. Are you really going to be that ungrateful person?"
Jingtai knew that Qing Shu would definitely not be able to summon Zhong Liying, so he immediately flew out his three magical weapons, the soul-catching hook, the Tiancan Shears, and the Heart-Destroying Claw. With a stabbing sound, he pulled out a hole in the stone wall of the tunnel next to him.
The soil fell one after another. He knew that based on the current situation on his side, he would not be able to break through the Wolf Fang Hundred-Nail Shield in a short time, so he just went around it.
Qingshu also came over to help, and at the same time told Zhongwu: "Beware of the thieves' tricks. Go outside the dungeon to help Lu Li and guard your retreat."
Zhongwu received the order and hurriedly exited. As soon as he reached the entrance, he saw a person flying in. It was Lu Li who was guarding the outside.
Zhongwu caught Lu Li in a hurry, but before he could ask what was going on, the stone door had already closed, sealing the entrance.
As the stone door closed, two talismans suddenly floated on Lu Li's body, but they were stuck to him when he "flew" in just now.
The movement here alerted Qingshu and Jingtai, and when they came to check, they happened to see two talismans rising above Lu Li's head, making two bangs, and burning one after another.
Qingshu's hands and feet felt cold for a while, and he murmured: "Tiangang Thunder Talisman."
Jingtai shouted, turned the corner, and bumped into the wolf-toothed shield: "Let me pass."
Behind the wolf-toothed hundred-nailed shield, stood Zhong Liying, Sophora Flower Sword, Chen Bu and Shi Jiu. Chen Bu asked curiously: "Is Xue Xingxing's Tiangang Thunder Talisman so powerful?"
Zhong Liying said: "It's very powerful. The magic talisman created by Jiang Fengxing. I have read the archives. Seven years ago in the West Ji, walking in Yongcheng, he used two Tiangang Thunder Talisman to kill an evil cultivator in the God Refining Realm in the West Ji on the spot.
No bones remain.”
Chen Bu was a little worried: "You won't really kill someone, right?"
Zhong Liying said: "There are four people inside. If we work together to resist, Qing Xingxing and Jingtai will not die, but it is hard to say for Chongwu and Lu Li."
Huai Huajian comforted him: "Why should Zhongli be sad? You have persuaded Qing Xingxing to come in. Who is to blame? Brother Sun once said that it is hard to persuade a damn ghost with good words!"
Zhong Liying said sadly: "Yeah, damn it, why didn't you listen to my advice?"
