Chapter 36 Chapter 36 Purgatory

In the tree hole, a simple soft ladder was arranged with branches and bark.The four of them descended to the bottom of the cave without much effort.The cave was dark, but the flowing water vapor filled the air in the cave with warmth and humidity.At the end of the long corridor, there was a faint echo of the void.Apparently there were people in the hall at the end of the corridor. Commander Shi and Guard Cui became extremely vigilant, while the old monk Jingyuan remained calm.Out of professional habits, Bai Ruifeng began to observe the surroundings of the corridor with extremely limited light.

"There is indeed a big world hidden under the ground of Woniu Village!" Bai Ruifeng sighed. The old monk Jingyuan said: "This is not a big world, this is just the entrance of a big world." At this time, the battalion commander Shi made some gestures to the old monk Jingyuan and Bai Ruifeng. The four quietly groped towards the end of the corridor and walked in.When they walked to the entrance of the corridor, the four of them couldn't help being surprised by the scene in the underground hall. At this time, the circular underground hall was tens of meters below the entrance of the corridor, but there were no steps to go down. The entire underground hall looked like a huge circular shaft.Obviously, someone had already turned the mechanism in the dark, and the entire underground hall sank to a height of tens of meters.And in a half-open hole on the half wall, the evil head of an albino creature poked its head out to look under the underground hall that made the movement.The ferocious and ugly face and black and white pupils are shocking to look at.

Battalion Commander Shi and Guard Cui couldn't help feeling terrified. The flames flickered in the underground hall below, and there were seven or eight Kuomintang soldiers holding "Zhizhi" burning torches, illuminating the entire underground hall red like a purgatory. The layout of the underground hall has been completely changed, the little dragon brought by She Shiyun has dived into the pool, and Qing Youyou's body is motionless in the pool.Wan Zhanfei, Zhang Ziheng, and She Shiyun sat back to back in front of the pool, guarded by Lianchang Shu like prisoners.Qiu Renfeng stood beside Shu Lianchang, with a satisfied smile on his face, and boxes of gold were piled up in front of him.

On the opposite side of the pool, a stone room like a Buddhist niche is recessed.Sitting on a chair carved out of granite in the stone room was a handsome woman - Bai Xiaoyang.She actually wore a wreath on her head, and in the center of the wreath was a huge sparkling gemstone. However, at this time, Bai Xiaoyang seemed to be under a spell, with a dull and calm expression on his face, and a pair of big eyes that were originally agile and delicate revealed only dullness, but also implied a bit of resentment.She remained motionless, staring straight ahead. Zhu Zhu and the other four children stood on either side of Bai Xiaoyang like puppets.

Wu Xiantao stood beside Bai Xiaoyang, his body straight, like a servant serving a noble queen.The steps under the feet lead directly to the center of the pool below.He wore a black cloak, and on his head also a crown of flowers, but no jewels.At this moment, Wu Xiantao had an evil smile on his face. Looking at the situation in the underground hall, Bai Ruifeng's eyes were moist, and he called softly in a trembling voice: "Little Yangzi, you have suffered." Battalion Commander Shi and Guard Cui couldn't help turning their heads to look at Bai Ruifeng, a little puzzled. Wan Zhanfei in the underground hall obviously couldn't hold back his excitement, he yelled at Wu Xiantao in a deep voice: "Wu Xiantao, the underground hall has sunk, what else do you want to do?"

Wu Xiantao sneered twice, and said, "Don't you want to see those two rubies? I will dedicate them now, and at the same time, I will also dedicate a holy heart to this place that has been silent for thousands of years. On the altar!" Wu Xiantao's voice was so gloomy that it made one's hair stand on end, and one's heart trembled. "You can't do this! You will burn yourself! At that time, it will not be you who will be burned, but the common people!" Wan Zhanfei said sharply. "Don't scare me, my gods. When the time comes, I'll let you do what you have to do. But now, I ask you to shut up and don't spoil my good mood. You see, everything here is so embarrassing now." People are excited and excited. I don't want to change such a beautiful atmosphere just because your yelling affects my mood." Wu Xiantao said grimly.

Wan Zhanfei laughed and said, "Do you think this place is very good? Don't you feel that you have arranged this place like purgatory?" Wu Xiantao's expression was extremely ugly, and he yelled at Wan Zhanfei, "If you don't keep your mouth shut, I'll stuff your mouth full of moss!" "How dare you!" Wan Zhanfei responded coldly. "Tell him to shut up!" Wu Xiantao angrily shouted at Commander Shu in a commanding tone. At this moment, Lianchang Shu actually put on a submissive look to Wu Xiantao, grabbed a carbine from a soldier, and smashed the butt of the gun on the back of Wan Zhanfei's neck.Wan Zhanfei tilted his body and leaned on Zhang Ziheng's shoulder.

She Shiyun shouted excitedly: "You can't do this!" She wanted to stand up while shouting.A soldier held She Shiyun down with her hand, and she stared fiercely at Wu Xiantao with her eyes wide open. The muscles on Wu Xiantao's face instantly relaxed, and he said to She Shiyun with a smile on his face: "Don't get excited, I will give you a task then." After speaking, he took out a small and exquisite black The box was spread flat on the palm of the left hand, and then he slowly opened the box with his right hand, and the expression on his face became reverent and solemn.

Two bead-like stones are revealed.The stone is dark red in color and appears bland.However, Wu Xiantao, who was holding the two stones, looked extremely solemn. He stepped down the steps step by step and walked towards the pool.On the stone pillar embossed with a big snake, the head of the snake that lost its eyeballs is raised high, and the two eye sockets without eyeballs are dark and empty, revealing a deep sense of confusion. At this time, Wu Xiantao's head protruded from the back and upper side of the stone pillar, and he placed two dark red stones in the eye sockets of the snake's head.The miracle happened the moment Wu Xiantao put the stone in.The original dark red stone gradually glowed with bright light, and the embossed python that was stiffly wrapped around the stone pillar seemed to come to life at this moment.

Xiaolong, who had been lurking in the pool all this time, suddenly lifted his head out, and his eyes shot out beams of yellow light.It stared at the giant python on the stone pillar for a moment, then began to move around, climbed up to the base of the stone pillar, followed the winding posture of the stone snake, and wrapped itself around the stone pillar... Wu Xiantao retreated to Bai Xiaoyang's side, and said to Shu Lianchang: "Now, wake up the old guy!" Shu Lianchang scooped up a basin of cold water from the pool with a clay basin, and poured it on Wan Zhanfei's body with a "huh", Wan Zhanfei was jolted by the cold water and woke up.He opened his eyes leisurely, looked absentmindedly at the little dragon and the lifelike stone snake perched on the stone pillar, then at Wu Xiantao, and asked feebly, "What else do you want?"

Wu Xiantao said: "What I need now is that key and that holy heart!" He looked weird and gloomy when he said this. "Without the key you mentioned, she couldn't open that heavy door," Wan Zhanfei said. "Don't try to hide it. I know that only you can make her speak." "I can't. That's a myth you imagined. Bai Xiaoyang is not the key to open the gate you mentioned. The key to that gate has long been lost and disappeared." Wan Zhanfei said with difficulty . Wu Xiantao's expression became gloomy, he stared at Wan Zhanfei for a long time, his triangular eyes gleamed coldly. "Okay, now that it's all over, you're still stubborn. Then, I can only use Bai Xiaoyang's heart to pay homage to this altar that hasn't been cleaned for thousands of years." Wan Zhanfei said to Wu Xiantao in pain: "Don't do this, Bai Xiaoyang doesn't belong to that world, her heart and the blood flowing in her heart are useless to this altar." "Then whose heart is useful?" Wu Xiantao asked eagerly. Wan Zhanfei shook his head in pain. Wu Xiantao stared at Wan Zhanfei. After a while, a ferocious smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Since this altar has been opened, it must be sacrificed with heart and blood. Although you said her heart is useless Yes, but at least her heart is purer and purer than all of us here, and that is enough." Wan Zhanfei turned pale and said to Wu Xiantao: "If you use this kind of sacrifice to make the world feel bloody and evil, you will be guilty!" Wu Xiantao "hehe" said with a strange smile: "That world has been sleeping for thousands of years, if it can be awakened with such blood and evil, I am willing to go to hell." He walked closer to Bai Xiaoyang for a few seconds step. Wan Zhanfei looked at Bai Xiaoyang who was sitting motionless on the granite chair in extreme pain. Zhang Ziheng didn't know what Wu Xiantao was going to do to Bai Xiaoyang, so he stared blankly. She Shiyun asked Wan Zhanfei: "Is he going to dig out my sister's heart?" Wan Zhanfei didn't answer, but he was in tears.
