After a while, with Lang Fei's comfort, Xue Ya finally stopped sobbing, and he finally had time to ask the jailer: "How many corpses are there down here?"
After pondering for a moment, the elderly jailer replied: "Look back to me, in the past ten years, I have thrown hundreds of tools into it. As for how many things were inside before, I can't tell you."
Got it."
Lang Fei nodded, then turned to look at the warden standing against the wall.
"You...don't look at me, I...I don't know. This corpse cellar has existed since I took over the post of prison director from my predecessor. How deep and wide it is, how many corpses are in it, everything...
unknown."
"Oh?" Lang Fei smiled evilly and looked at the warden maliciously: "In that case, today is an excellent opportunity to find out these things."
"You...what do you want to do?" The warden felt that he was staring at him with hair all over his body, and an unpleasant feeling arose in his heart.
"It's nothing, I'm just asking you to go down and have a look." After saying this, the boy did not wait for the warden to resist, and instantly pulled out a hemp rope as thick as his thumb, then put it on his body and tied a tight knot around his waist.
"You...you, let me go." Lang Fei turned a deaf ear to the warden's words and turned to Zhu Ganglie with a wink.
"Hey, let's get down here, Mr. Zhu." Zhu Ganglie approached with a blink of an eye, picked up the frightened jailer, and threw him into the corpse cave without saying a word.
"Ah..." In the blink of an eye, a shrill scream came from inside the cave.
When Zhu Ganglie picked up the warden, Lang Fei had already put his consciousness into the corpse cave. At this moment, when he heard the screams, he shook his head as if nothing had happened. After a few more snaps, the screams gradually faded away.
, he then used both hands to pull the hemp rope.
"Hey, are you dead?" Seeing Lang Fei use his strength to stabilize the hemp rope, the fool understood, stepped to the entrance of the cave, and shouted into the distance.
"I...I...grandpa and heroic ancestors, please pull me up." After waiting for a long time, several people heard intermittent sounds of begging coming from them.
"Hehe, I didn't expect that the prison director was so tough just a moment ago. Why did he become so cowardly as soon as he entered the corpse cave? Could it be that you are still afraid that the people who died unjustly down here will seek your life?"
After saying that, the idiot paused and continued: "Want to come up? Okay, as long as you find Uncle Ouyang's body, I will pull you up immediately."
"This... this... I don't know how deep it is down here. It's pitch black all around and it's hard to see. I... where do you want me to find Ouyang Mu's body?"
The idiot laughed loudly when he heard this, and said to the people below: "Don't worry, Mr. Prison Secretary, since we asked you to search for corpses, we naturally won't drop you to death halfway. Now, the floor of the corpse cave should be not far below where you are staying."
As for the lighting problem, that’s easy to handle, just wait a moment.”
After saying this, the fool dug around in the Sumeru belt for a long time, and finally took out a night-light pearl, tied it with a rope, and slowly stretched it into the corpse cave.
When the night pearl dropped about five feet, when Lang Fei nodded, the idiot cleared his throat and shouted towards the cave entrance: "Master Prison Secretary, how are you? Do you see clearly? Next, as long as you find Ouyang Mu's body, I will return it
Pull you up."
"..."
After waiting for a long time, there was no movement. From such a distance, the idiot could not clearly see the situation below, so he had no choice but to ask Lang Fei for help: "Brother Fei, what's wrong with him?"
Lang Fei opened his eyes after hearing this, smiled slightly, and said: "You just gave me the Night Pearl. This guy took a look at the situation in the corpse cave through the dim light. When he saw the countless corpses scattered around, he was frightened.
He was half dead and fainted."
Hearing that this was the reason, the idiot blinked and said helplessly: "Then what should we do now?"
"What else can we do? Just cast a water spell to wake him up."
Zhu Ganglie nodded when he heard the words, and used his fingers to perform a water-bending technique. In just a short time, a small ball of water formed on his fingertips, and then he pointed towards the warden in the corpse cave.
"Immortal Master, it's an Immortal Master..." Before the fool's water ball could wake up the jailer over there, the two jailers here were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"It's really troublesome, please stop knocking." Zhu Ganglie shouted repeatedly, but the two jailers accepted the fate and refused to get up.
"Idiot, the warden is awake." The idiot was feeling impatient. As soon as he heard Lang Fei's words, he immediately kicked his eyes and shouted to the two jailers: "Kow again, knock again. Master Zhu will throw you two down together."
He keeps you company."
"Grandpa, have mercy on me, grandpa have mercy on me, the little one doesn't dare anymore, the little one doesn't dare anymore." Seeing the ferocious expression on the fool's face, the two jailers stood aside and stopped making any sound after begging for mercy.
At this point, Zhu Ganglie suddenly felt that his ears were clearer and he was able to deal with the matter of the corpse cave with all his heart.
"Master Warden, are you still alive? If you are scared to death, then I will cut the rope."
"Don't cut, don't cut, I'm still alive." Hearing that the idiot was about to cut the rope, the warden didn't dare to pretend to be dead anymore and hurriedly responded.
"Hehe, that's good. I believe the warden has seen the following scene just now, so let's stop talking nonsense and start as soon as possible."
"This..." The warden pondered for a moment, and in the blink of an eye he suddenly saw the withered bones under his body. He suddenly thought of a plan, rolled his eyes, and showed off: "Good man, it's not that I don't want to, it's just because Ouyang Mu's body has been thrown into the
It has been seven years, and by now I am afraid that it has turned into a pile of withered bones, so how can you identify it."
Lang Fei frowned when he heard this, and couldn't help but murmured to himself: "This is true. After seven years, it is extremely normal for the body to turn into withered bones."
"Brother Fei, then, what should we do next?"
When the three of them were at a loss what to do, the elderly jailer on the side suddenly changed his expression and showed a look that he was hesitant to speak.
Lang Fei took note of his changes, pondered for a moment, then turned around and asked, "You have something to say? But there's no harm in saying it."
"Yes, yes, I would like to teach you that there is still a way to distinguish."
Lang Fei was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "Please tell me carefully."
The elderly jailer nodded and slowly explained how to tell the difference. It turns out that in Qianyang Prison, whenever a person with a serious crime is imprisoned, his ankles must not only be shackled, but also have an identification tag, indicating the prisoner's name, gender,
Years of imprisonment, reasons, etc. And the people who died unjustly in this corpse cave were all from Qianyang Prison, so there must be information marks on their ankles and ankle shackles.
After listening to the elder jailer's words, Lang Fei released his consciousness. After carefully examining the bones on the top floor, he found an iron sign on his ankle.
"That's right, there is an identification mark." Lang Fei slowly opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Qianyang Prison has this rule. I think the warden would not know about it. I didn't expect that he still has the leisure to fight with us.
thought."
"Humph, you little bitch, you are playing tricks with me. If you don't teach me a lesson, do you really think Master Zhu is a fool?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Ganglie stopped talking nonsense with the warden, grabbed the hemp rope in Lang Fei's hand, and with a strong movement of his palm, let the hemp rope slide down with a "swish" sound.
"Oops." The warden, who was in the corpse cave, couldn't hear the discussion above. He fell from a low altitude without warning and sat down on a pile of dead bones.
"Ah...ah." Then the dim light of the night pearl illuminated him, and when he saw the terrifying white head under him, he was so frightened that he didn't even care about crying out in pain. He climbed up and shouted to the top: "Hero, hero.
, they are all withered bones, there is no way to tell them apart, please be kind, let me go, and pull me up."
"Bah, you bitch, you are playing tricks with Master Zhu. You made the wrong calculation. Again, if you want to come up, you can find Ouyang Mu's body. If not, then you will be buried with them."
At this point, the prison warden sighed dejectedly and did not dare to say anything more. He squatted down and tremblingly examined the horrifying withered bones.
One moment, two moments, three moments... Exactly two hours later, while Xue Ya was waiting anxiously, a voice came from far away in the corpse cave: "Found it, found it."
The three of them were shocked when they heard this. Zhu Ganglie lay down at the entrance of the cave and saw that the warden was picking up a corpse.
"Now that you have found it, you first wrap the body and tie it to one end of the hemp rope, and wait for me to pull it up."
The warden was stunned when he heard this and said anxiously: "Then what should I do?"
Zhu Ganglie chuckled and said: "Who knows if you are showing off again and making a fake one to fool Master Zhu. If you find something wrong after you come up, wouldn't it be too troublesome to send you down again?
So, you’d better send it up first, and when Master Zhu checks it, it won’t be too late to pull you up again.”
After thinking about it for a moment, the prison warden, half suspicious and half helpless, said loudly: "Really?"
Zhu Ganglie glared and said in a low voice: "Of course it is true, can I still lie to you? Master Zhu promises that once the inspection is correct, he will pull you up immediately."
"Okay." With a slight sigh, the warden untied the hemp rope from his waist, took off his shirt, wrapped the skeleton, then tied it with the hemp rope, and finally pulled the hemp rope to indicate that it was neatly arranged.
"Haha, it's done." Seeing the hemp rope swaying, Zhu Ganglie was overjoyed and quickly pulled up the package with both arms.
After a while, when the package came out of the corpse cave, Xue Ya eagerly snatched it from the idiot's hand, tore it open in twos and twos, and placed the bones in front of Lang Fei.
"Son, how are you? Are they the remains of my father?"
After checking the ankle markings, Lang Fei used his spiritual consciousness to check the integrity of the bones in detail, and finally nodded and said: "Yes, it is indeed Ouyang Yushi."
Hearing Lang Fei's words of affirmation, Xue Ya couldn't bear it anymore and kowtowed to the skeleton several times until her forehead was broken and blood flowed all over her face. Only then did Lang Fei and Zhu Ganglie persuade her
He stopped kowtowing, sat aside holding the package containing the remains and sobbed softly.
After about half a stick of incense, when Xue Ya had vented her sorrow, Lang Fei gently picked her up and said warmly: "Since the purpose of this trip has been achieved, let's go back to the inn." After saying this, he stretched out his arms to hug Xue Yaxiang.
Shoulder, turn around, and go along the original path.
Seeing this, Zhu Ganglie smiled and turned around. Just as he was about to follow him, suddenly a cry came from the entrance of the cave: "Good man, you have forgotten me. Didn't we promise to rescue me once we confirm everything is correct?"
