When Chu Li came back, he saw two girls, Fang Tianyun and Ren Qing, crying miserably, and the people and ghosts beside them were all silent.
Tang Xi wrapped a ball of pure white soul with spiritual power, and carefully sent it into a soul-nourishing pearl.
"Is this old Wen's soul?" Gu Ran's voice was a little hoarse.
"Yeah." Tang Xi hesitated for a moment, and handed the Soul Cultivation Bead to Fang Tianyun, "Sister Yun, you can keep it. Old Wen's soul is a bit weak, so I will put it in it to warm up. If we win this time, we will win together." Send him to reincarnation."
"Yeah!" Fang Tianyun held the Soul Cultivation Pearl firmly, and nodded vigorously.
For the young people in Pei, Mr. Wen is the elder of all of them. This old man has devoted his life's energy and affection to these children.
"Take it, Old Wen's relic." Tang Xi handed the pen filled with spiritual power to Chu Li.
Gu Ran stepped forward and silently took another spiritual restraint ring from her hand: "I'll go too."
"Okay." Tang Xi nodded.
"The ambulance is outside the illusion, isn't it..." Chu Li hesitated.
"Let's send it to the funeral home. When you come back, the matter is perfectly resolved, and then we will hold a memorial service and tell Elder Wen." Fang Tianchen decided.
Behind him, the building collapsed, and the spiritual fire began to extinguish slowly after losing fuel.
Gu Ran took a step forward, as if to vent, the water curse poured out, and two water dragons rushed into the flames.
"It's indestructible, don't waste your spiritual power." Fang Tianchen said.
Gu Ran didn't speak until the water dragon exhausted its spiritual power and dissipated in the flames.
"Let's go." Tang Xi patted him on the shoulder, "We still have things to do, we don't have time to mourn."
"Go ahead, leave this to me." Fang Tianchen said.
Tang Xi responded and recalled the released ghost messenger.
As Shaoyao put away the illusion, Wang Ling also rushed back with other members who were dealing with the incident outside, and took over the shielding work. The memories of the residents in the community were all replaced by Xie Changan, and now they all returned home one after another. The fire trucks and police cars gathered here also dispersed, leaving only two ambulances, and it was confirmed that there were no wounded to be transported. After that, I went back to the hospital.
The neighborhood fell silent again.
Chu Li walked in the front, and the phone rang at this moment.
Tang Xi turned her head and glanced at the silent Gu Ran, just as she was about to say something, her phone vibrated.
Unlocked and took a look, only to find that it was actually a long email sent by Wang Ling. While reading it, his pace also slowed down.
"...Okay, I see." Chu Li hung up the phone, only to realize that the people behind hadn't followed up. Looking back, he saw Tang Xi and Gu Ran stopped not far away, looking at the phone screen together. The expressions on their faces were serious.
"Xiao Liu has brought the little girl in charge of the warehouse back to the serious crime team. According to her..."
"Hey, Chu Li, do you believe that a hero who has devoted himself to the country and the people will suddenly become a lunatic who wants to destroy the world?" Tang Xi asked suddenly.
"Huh?" Chu Li was stunned, and continued subconsciously, "Unless he was suddenly stimulated by something, it's not impossible, after all, human nature is complicated. It's like Director Zhao. Didn't he Isn’t he a righteous criminal policeman full of passion? Time, power, money, and feelings will change a person. How many people can do it if you don’t forget your original intention.”
Tang Xi was silent for a while, and turned the phone screen to show him.
"Sure enough, it's the same as what that little girl from Xiaomi said." Chu Li raised his eyebrows, not surprised.
"Minister, what is he trying to do?" Gu Ran said helplessly, scratching her messy hair.
"You can only ask yourself." Tang Xi shrugged.
"Let's go back first." Chu Li took out the car key and pressed the lock.
After returning home, Tang Xi pointed to the guest room and said, "I lend you the room, go and wash it."
"Oh." Gu Ran casually touched his face and wiped the black ash with his hand.
Fortunately, it was midnight, otherwise, meeting other residents in the elevator with this appearance would scare people to death.
"I'll bring you a change of clothes." Chu Li compared his height and went back to the room to find clothes.
"Is the painting finished?" Tang Xi came to the dining table again.
"Hmm." Cheng Huaying lay on the sofa with a look of lovelessness.
Ten meters long drawing paper, only the last less than half a meter blank.
"When it's dawn, I'll take it and ask someone to print it on the cloth." Pei Qingzhi rolled up the drawing paper and said, "The Underworld doesn't know what's going on, but since someone is obstructing it, it's very likely that there will be a fight. The scroll is too weak. I'm afraid that if you rub it, you will be smashed to pieces."
"That's true." Tang Xi nodded in agreement.
"Let's rest early, we have to act as soon as possible." Cheng Huaying said.
Tang Xi turned her head suddenly and said in surprise, "Are you going too?"
"I don't think I'm powerless, waiting here is too difficult." Pei Qingzhi looked at her seriously.
"But..." Tang Xi hesitated.
That is the underworld, and you have to pass through the Jiuyou Dique. Cheng Huaying is the reincarnation of Hei Wuchang, Chu Li needs to draw a map, Gu Ran can't stop him and his strength is not weak, but he can bring Pei Qingzhi... There is another one that needs to be protected What about Han Zhen
"Let him go." Cheng Huaying lazily said, "With so many merits, nothing will happen."
Tang Xi gave him a strange look.
Cheng Huaying forced his eyes to rest his mind, as if what he said just now was not what he said at all.
"I'll be with you, regardless of life or death." Pei Qingzhi whispered, "Xiaoxi, if you fail, we wouldn't have tomorrow, would we?"
"Okay." Tang Xi finally nodded.
Early the next morning, Pei Qingzhi and Gu Ran went out to print the formation map, Chu Li went to the police station to help Bureau Tan rectify the internal situation and stabilize people's hearts, Cheng Huaying did not wake up at all on the grounds that "the soul is too exhausted and needs to rest" . Only Tang Xi, without the slightest intention of going to a decisive battle, went for a morning jog as usual, called Han Zhen at noon to make an appointment, and packed up the things that could be used in the afternoon.
Even if it's going to the underworld, no one knows how long it will take. At least the living have to eat and drink. She doesn't think there is anything in the underworld that can be eaten by the living.
At dusk, Cheng Huaying came out yawning, saw a circle of people and ghosts in the living room, and asked, "Leaving?"
"It's better sooner rather than later. Is it possible to choose an auspicious day for the zodiac?" Tang Xi sneered, "Anyway, I failed the fortune-telling subject. I declare that the day I chose is an auspicious day for the zodiac!"
"Then let's go." Cheng Huaying stretched.
A group of people drove two cars and set off for the new city.
Because of the snow a few days ago, there were still piles of snow piled up on the side of the road, and because Xincheng was sparsely populated during the year, the trails were not even cleared of snow.
In the end, it was Cheng Huaying who blasted away the ice and snow on the manhole cover with a spell, opening the way.
"Here, it doesn't look like someone has been in and out in the past two days." Chu Li said while turning on the flashlight.
"The underground water system is connected, maybe he didn't come in from this entrance." Cheng Huaying, who came down last, dragged the cellar manhole cover over and covered it up so that no one would accidentally step on it when passing by.
Tang Xi came here once, walked in the front skillfully, and asked, "Speaking of which, there are only two spiritual power suppression rings, and Gu Ran and I used them. How do you plan to get there, Second Uncle Cheng?"
"Well... we can only use the most primitive method." Cheng Huaying sighed.
But did not go into detail.
"This place...is there a lot more dead animals?" Chu Li asked suddenly.
"The yin energy is leaking faster." Xie Changan appeared beside them, and said worriedly, "It stands to reason that my seal can last for at least three months to a year, and it shouldn't expire so soon."
"Maybe the other party's purpose is to destroy the world." Tang Xi rolled her eyes.
It didn't take long for them to return to the original intersection.
Chu Li stepped forward to check, frowned and said, "Since the last time, someone has entered and exited, and... there is an extra footprint, which belongs to a woman."
"Tang Jing." Tang Xi said in a deep voice, "He really brought Tang Jing."
"The person you're talking about, what on earth do you want Jing... Tang Jing to do? She's just an ordinary girl, don't you know that best?" Han Zhen couldn't help but look at Tang Xi.
"Because I know best." Tang Xi pondered for a moment before saying, "Tang Jing can play a role, one is to seal, and the other is to sacrifice. It is still impossible to determine the final purpose of that person, but I can be sure, let's not talk about the sacrifice. , Tang Jing will definitely die. Sealing... Tang Jing is also very likely to die."
"This is a human life!" Han Zhen said angrily.
It is obviously unacceptable for a teenager living in a peaceful world, let alone a girl who has given his affection and really liked it.
"With thousands of lives in his hands, how could he care about one more Tang Jing." Tang Xi replied.
"Okay, it's time to go." Chu Li tightened the long cylinder with the scroll on his shoulder, and asked back, "Second Uncle Cheng, can you tell me what you are going to do?"
"Oh, that's it." Cheng Huaying said, suddenly her whole body tilted, she slid down the wall and sat in the corner.
"Second Uncle Cheng?" Everyone was taken aback, especially Han Zhen who was invisible.
A ray of soul slowly floated out of Cheng Huaying's body, dressed in black and long gown, wearing a tall hat, holding a banner in his hand, but his face was still Cheng Huaying's.
"You..." Xie Changan was a little surprised.
"I'm a real reincarnation. Although I got my memory back, my appearance won't change back—am I more handsome than before?" Cheng Huaying turned around with a smile.
"Okay, both of you go in!" Tang Xi raised his hand, put black and white impermanence into the bracelet, then took out the spiritual power suppression ring, before buckling it up, he hesitated for a moment and slapped his head, " Almost forgot."
"I..." As soon as Han Zhen uttered a word, his eyes felt cold, and his vision seemed to become clear all of a sudden.
I didn't see any ghosts or ghosts, but I was taken aback by the black hole-like vortex not far away, and couldn't help but said: "We want to go in from here?"
"Scared?" Tang Xi asked.
"Not afraid." Han Zhen stared back.
"I didn't mock you." Tang Xi said seriously, "Fear is a human instinct, and giving up is also a kind of courage. No one will blame you. Instead, force yourself, and it will be more troublesome if something goes wrong."
Han Zhen was taken aback for a moment, thought for a while, and then shook his head: "I thought about it when I promised you. Besides, since you said that I have the same thing as Tang Jing, obviously I can't really stay out of it, so I might as well help you now." If you give me a hand, you are also helping me."
"Then let's go." Tang Xi put on the spiritual restraint ring, took a deep breath, and stepped into the whirlpool.
Then came Chu Li and Pei Qingzhi, followed by Han Zhen, and finally Gu Ran.
"It's... different from what I imagined?" Tang Xi tried to speak.
It was clearly pitch black, but it was weird to be able to see the people in front and back clearly, but the up, down, front, back, left, and right were all empty, as if there was nothingness, and there was no feeling of stepping on the ground at all.
"Are you sure we are going forward? The sense of direction here is too weak." Chu Li said.
"Gu Ran looked at the point, as long as we walk in a straight line, we will not deviate from the direction." Tang Xi raised his voice.
"Understood." Finally Gu Ran replied.
After a while, Pei Qingzhi said, "The watch stopped. Could it be that the time here is still? I can't even feel how much time has passed."
"10 minutes." Chu Li replied.
"How do you know?" Han Zhen asked strangely. He even had a feeling that he had been walking for hours, and it was only... 10 minutes
"Footsteps." Chu Li said lightly, "Our current speed is about two steps per second."
"..." Everyone was speechless.
Except for you, a professional criminal policeman, who would memorize how many steps he took while walking
"It's a bit strange. Is this really the Nine Nether Land Queue? It doesn't seem to be as scary as imagined." Pei Qingzhi said.
"It's not that it's not scary, but we took advantage of the loophole." Tang Xi replied, "This place specializes in devouring pure energy, especially ghost souls made of energy bodies, but they don't seem to be interested in the flesh and blood of living people. Stick to your heart and don't be tempted—"
"Temptation?" Pei Qingzhi was puzzled.
"You don't feel it?" Tang Xi was startled and stopped.
"How should it feel?" Pei Qing was puzzled, looked at her, and then turned to look at Chu Li behind him.
"I've always had an idea in my mind to kill everyone around me." Chu Limu replied with a straight face, but his tone was too flat, and it didn't match what he said at all.
"I'm here to tell me to completely destroy the outer seal and let the Yin Qi spread to the human world. Anyway, if I don't live happily, then no one can enjoy it." Gu Ran also said.
"I... I don't feel it either?" Han Zhen hesitated before asking.
Tang Xi frowned in thought.
Han Zhen is not troubled by demons because of luck. Then Pei Qingzhi is not troubled by demons, because of... merit
"What's wrong?" Pei Qingzhi asked.
"It's okay, let's go on." Tang Xi shook her head.
Cheng Huaying intentionally or unintentionally asked Pei Qingzhi to come with her, did she know something
Merit... Will it come in handy
Just when Chu Li reported "1 hour", a little white appeared faintly in front of him.
"Is it almost the exit?" Gu Ran pressed his forehead with one hand and held the handle of the knife with the other, the veins on the back of his hand bulging.
As it goes deeper, the voice in my head is urging more and more urgently, threats, lures, sweet words, and even various bloody, obscene, and decadent images in my mind are substantive, spinning in front of my eyes, just to control myself Not being able to draw a knife and slash indiscriminately has consumed all his mind.
He didn't even know how long he could hold back his sobriety.
At this time, he was even jealous of Pei Qingzhi and Han Zhen, so why didn't you two react? It's so unfair!
However, looking at the other two, whether it is Tang Xi or Chu Li, at least from the surface, it can't be seen that they have been harassed by demons at all, and they are too calm.
People and people... tsk, it's so different!
"Be careful." Tang Xi said, "If this is indeed the way to the underworld, don't forget that Xie Chang'an said that the Jiuyou Dique is located in the deepest part of the eighteenth floor of hell, that is to say..."
"We're going to climb out from the deepest level of the eighteen levels of hell." Gu Ran felt numb.
"However, isn't it said that the eighteenth floor of hell is the first place to be eroded? There should be no ghosts in it." Chu Li said.
"Could it be that you think that the terrible ghosts in the 18th floor of hell are tortured ghosts? Are they all prisoners?" Tang Xi glanced at him in surprise.
"You mean..." Chu Li's expression finally changed.
"Up the mountain of knives, down the pan of oil, into the sea of fire... welcome to try them one by one," Tang Xi said.
"Hey, are you serious?" Han Zhen couldn't help but said.
"Well, who knows." Tang Xi shrugged, "Ah, the exit is here, I'll go out first."
"Wait… "
Chu Li just said a word, and Tang Xi jumped into the white spot of light.
"Hey!"
"Let's go." Pei Qingzhi followed without hesitation.
"..." Chu Li was speechless, and went down with Han Zhen.
It was still Gu Ran who was the queen.
It was a feeling of weightlessness, but it was very short, as if it was just a flash in front of my eyes, and the scenery had changed.
"Is this what you said... 18 levels of hell?" Chu Li asked in surprise.
The goal of entering is a vast expanse of white ruins.
The wreckage of broken rocks, piles of stones, occasional unquenchable flames can be seen, the gray sky above the head, the whole world is vast, empty and lonely, and there is no color at all, even the flames are gray.
Black and white lights flashed, and Cheng Huaying and Xie Changan, who were dressed in black and white impermanence, appeared on both sides.
"What's going on here?" Tang Xi tried to take off the spiritual restraint ring, and nodded to Gu Ran after feeling that there was nothing wrong.
"Eighteen levels of hell... No, not just hell, the whole hell has been destroyed." Xie Changan murmured.
"No way..." Cheng Huaying took a few steps, his face was blank, "When I left, although the underworld was in chaos, at least it wasn't so lifeless—those ghosts and ghosts who were eroded by Yin Qi and went mad, all of them had lost their wits. Yet?"
"If the underworld looks like this, it's really disappointing." Han Zhen looked around curiously, and muttered.
"The seal of Jiuyou Dique you said is here?" Chu Li turned around and looked at the way they came.
I was shocked by the scene of the underworld before, and no one thought of Jiuyou Dique all of a sudden, but now I can't help being even more surprised.
"I remember, we jumped from the top, right?" Pei Qingzhi hesitated.
"right."
However, under their feet was a natural moat with a width of more than 100 meters and a length that could not be seen at a glance. The black air below was lingering, and the dark air was still drifting out.
But there is no doubt that they are at the top now, and Jiuyoudi Que is at the bottom.
"We 'fall' from the bottom to the top?" Pei Qingzhi repeated, always feeling that common sense is not enough.
"In the hell world, yin and yang are reversed, it's just an illusion." Tang Xi didn't care.
"Originally, there were no living people who set foot in the underworld, yet so many came at once." Xie Chang'an also smiled wryly.
"Okay." Pei Qingzhi spread his hands and swallowed the other words.
"So, this is what needs to be sealed? Where do I want to draw the array?" Chu Li asked.
"Here." Cheng Huaying pointed to the ground on the edge of the moat.
Although it is very pale and severely damaged, some of the scratches from the past can still be seen.
Without saying a word, Chu Li took off the long tube on his back, took out the scroll and spread it out.
"You have to carefully compare the array and make up for the damaged parts." Cheng Huaying reminded.
"It's better to draw it again." Chu Li said to himself.
"That's impossible." Cheng Huaying said immediately, "Even if the seal is broken, it still contains most of the original power. If it is abandoned and re-arranged, it is equivalent to giving up those ready-made powers. Starting from scratch, let's not talk about Tang Xi , the person who drew the array is you, how much spiritual power do you think exists in this spiritual power pen?"
"Okay, I'll try my best." Chu Litou said honestly, "This...can't be done in more than ten hours."
"Leave the rest to us." Tang Xi said, "I want to look around first—Where is the well of reincarnation?"
"This way." Cheng Huaying pointed.
"You guys stay here first, I'll go and see—who will lead the way?" Tang Xi looked at Black and White Wuchang.
"I'll stay here to take care of the seal." Cheng Huaying said immediately.
"Let's go." Tang Xi nodded, knowing that this was the best choice.
"I'll go with you." Han Zhen chased after him.
"Take it." Chu Li raised his hand without knowing it, and threw his spare spiritual power gun over, "It's only for ghosts, don't use it to hit people."
"Understood." Han Zhen said after being taken aback.
Pei Qingzhi originally wanted to follow, but as if he had thought of something, he moved his steps and stopped.
Xie Chang'an led the way, and sure enough, all the way was just ruins in black, white and gray, like a desert.
Not to mention living people, not even a ghost.
"Samsara Well...the seal is still there." Xie Chang'an said suddenly.
"That is to say, it's not too late for us?" Tang Xi cheered up.
"Is Tang Jing here?" Han Zhen asked.
Just as Tang Xi was about to speak, his face suddenly changed, and he grabbed him and moved him three or four meters away.
Xie Changan even floated to the other side early.
"Boom!" The power of the thunder curse exploded where they were originally standing, and the gravel flew.
"Who? Come out." Tang Xi was very displeased that he had always used thunder curses to blow up others, but now he was blown up by others with thunder curses, and immediately returned the color, throwing the same thunder curses.
Pale lightning struck down, and what was heard was a woman's scream.
"It's Tang Jing." Han Zhen said in surprise.
"I can't chop her." Tang Xi replied.
Sure enough, after a pile of ruins, one old and one young came out slowly.
"Han Zhen! Are you coming to save me?" Tang Jing was about to collapse in despair, but when she saw Han Zhen in this ghostly place, for a moment, her desperate heart seemed to have a little courage.
Can you explain that Han Zhen actually cares about her? Do they still have a future
"Dangerous, back off." Tang Xi stretched out her hand to block Han Zhen, without looking at Tang Jing at all, only at the old man in Tang suit.
Immortal style, just like the picture.
However... What shocked her was that he had harmed so many people and committed all sorts of crimes, which should have been a heinous crime, but what she saw in this old man was not only not a single trace of sin, but his whole body was covered by the golden light of merit, making it so bright blindness.
merit
The merits and virtues that can't be offset by the sins of doing so many evil things... Could it be possible that this person really saved the world in his previous life
