Chapter 247 Queen's Tower

 As soon as wind chimes were mentioned, Zhang Yao immediately fell silent.

She lived there and dealt with wind chimes all day long, but as soon as it came to this thing, she immediately seemed to change and became silent. If it weren't for nothing, she wouldn't even want to say a word about it.

"It's very nice inside. It's very helpful for my situation, but it's just too scary. How can I put it? It's like you're camping on a mountain, and the mountain is full of free-range tigers. Yes, that's it.

You never know if they get unhappy one day and they will eat you up to nothing!!”

This is what Chang Yao once said.

It was the same at this moment. After a long time, she said: "Are you thinking about those things again? I advise you not to do it. You really can't control it, although I don't know why they saved you last time.

, and even lend my life to you, but I always feel that...it’s better to be clearer with them.”

I thought about it and asked, "They don't have a good temper?!"

"It's very bad!"

"Although I don't know why they would tolerate me making a floor bunk inside, I have an intuition that if other things come in, they will definitely be beaten and unable to take care of themselves," said Zhang Yao.

I said "Oh", and I could listen to Mao Yao's warning, but at this point, who would care about that? So, I asked again: "How do you manage to come in and out freely in the wind chimes?"

of?"

"This is a Horcrux!"

Zhang Yao said: "As long as it is a soul, it can naturally come and go freely!"

I didn't speak, I was thinking about this in my head.

At this time, the ghost-faced lice outside seemed to be tired of their toil, and gradually became quiet.

At least, the scratching sound on the door can no longer be heard.

"It should be...leave?!"

Brother Yaozi was not sure and looked at Lao Bai.

Lao Bai lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said: "I'm not so sure. I just know that the ghost-faced louse cannot move for a long time. How about... open a crack in the door and have a look?"

Brother Yaozi stood up, walked to the door cautiously, opened a very small crack, and took a look outside. After a while, he opened the door completely...

The ghost-faced louse is indeed gone.

When we emerged from the big mound and saw the surrounding situation clearly, we all gasped...

Before, there were huge mushrooms everywhere here, forming a vast white ocean, which looked amazing. Now it is even more amazing, because there are no more mushrooms, they have been chewed up cleanly, not even the dregs are left.

Go, it's a mess, with bare black earth everywhere.

We even saw many stumps, all belonging to the ghost-faced louse.

"It's a legacy of cannibalism."

Lao Bai took a look and said: "Every time these things wake up, they need to consume a lot of nutrients stored in the body. If they don't eat enough, they will die when they fall into dormancy again. It should be that the mushrooms here don't keep them full.

So they can only kill each other to get enough nutrients."

It sounded a little scary to me. Fortunately, this kind of thing cannot see the light. Otherwise, if you run outside, you know what kind of natural disaster will happen. I heard in the past that locusts eat people when there is a locust plague. That means there is no food.

If you eat them, these things are much more ferocious than locusts. They are meant to eat people. People can kill animals, but if you encounter such things, you may not be able to deal with them...

However, there are still a lot of mushrooms near the Queen's Tower ahead. It seems that these ghost-faced lice are afraid of it and dare not approach it, so they left quite a few behind.

The vitality of these mushrooms is amazing, and their ability to reproduce is also very strong. I am afraid that it will not be long before they grow in large numbers, which are just used to feed the ghost-faced lice. They have actually formed a strange ecological balance. How many mushrooms can feed as many ghost-faced lice? Mushrooms

If there is not enough food, the ghost-faced lice will eat themselves, always maintaining a certain number...

With the losses we suffered before, the few of us no longer dared to make loud noises, let alone stay here too much, for fear of disturbing those ghost-faced lice again. Fortunately, the Queen's Tower was right in front of us, and we had already arrived in a short time.

Come closer.

This tower is quite astonishing. It is almost as tall as the underground ruins and is more than nine meters tall. It is divided into three floors. It looks pitch black with mottled rust everywhere.

This is an iron tower!!

Below, a huge iron gate blocked our progress. It was also a floor-to-ceiling gate, and it looked like it was made entirely of solid iron.

"This door...should always be open."

The kite brother rubbed the edge of the iron door and said: "The underground air is humid, and the iron door rusts quickly. It has been covered with dust for thousands of years. This iron door is supposed to have been rusted to death, but you see, the edges here are polished and shiny, which shows that

Someone often opens this door, is it that fairy?"

"You don't care!"

I said: "Open the door first, then we will meet you!"

Brother Yaozi thought what I said was reasonable, so he took Lao Bai and went to work.

This is obviously a mechanism door. There should be some mechanism that can be directly controlled. We can't find it, so naturally we can only use stupid methods. There are too many similar doors. It can be said to be a very common door. To deal with this kind of door kite

My brother is very experienced. He first used a crowbar to lift the door a little from both sides, then inserted the jack in, and then lifted the door little by little until there was a gap, and people could just get through.

After a while, I heard the iron door creaking.

Brother Yaozi was lying on the ground and was about to go in. I immediately stepped forward and held him down.

Brother Yaozi looked at me puzzled, and then I said with a smile: "This place is laid out in Luoshu, which is very particular. The path I chose is suitable for young men, so it is best for me to be the first to go in."

Brother Yaozi looked at me a little suspiciously, but in the end he chose to believe me. After all, I am a courtesy officer. Whenever I encounter any agency along the way, I am always the first to go.

Seeing him get out of the way, I took off my backpack, threw it in, then lay on the ground and slipped in through the crack in the door.

The inside of the iron tower was dark, and there was an unpleasant fishy smell lingering in my nose.

As soon as I stood up straight, I saw Lao Bai poke his head in. This grandson moved very neatly and came right after me.

The moment I turned around and saw him, I immediately yelled: "Get out quickly, there is a problem here!!"

Lao Bai shrank on the spot, probably thinking of Master Qi who had his head cut off when he entered the door. He moved so fast that he almost left an afterimage, and withdrew his head with a "chirp", competing with the shrinking bastard.

.

As soon as he withdrew, I immediately hooked the jack with the crowbar in my hand, and violently pulled it inward. The iron door lost its support, and with a "bang", it immediately landed, and my whole body was swallowed up by darkness...

"Jingzhe! Jingzhe!!"

Vaguely, I heard Brother Yao Zi yelling outside the door. He should have seen what I did in the end and knew that I had removed the jack. At this moment, he was furious outside and yelled: "What on earth are you going to do, you bastard?"

?Is there something that we can’t all do together?! Damn you..."

I didn't check whether there was any danger behind me. I sat down in front of the iron gate with a smile on my face and listened quietly to Brother Yaozi and Lao Bai yelling and cursing outside the door.

After a long time, I finally lowered my head and said, "You better not come in. Although everyone can work together, they can break through metal, but... what if what is in front of you is a jade pillar? What's the use of having so many people?"

?Can it be shaken? It’s just a few more people killed..."

"What are you talking about!"

Lao Bai hissed: "Is it possible that by now, we have become a burden to you and make you dislike us so much?"

"Why bother saying that? You know, I don't think so."

I sighed and said: "It's just... what the other party wants is me, and we can't defeat it. It's as simple as one death or four death, do you still need to choose?"

At this point, I looked up subconsciously, but in the end I didn't say the next thing because I didn't dare to say it!!

Lao Bai wanted to say something else, but I interrupted him. I quickly said: "This is the only jack we brought. You can't get in anymore. Don't take risks. You all listen to me and wait outside.

Give it half an hour. If someone delivers the medicine, take the medicine and leave. Don't be impulsive. Impulsiveness won't solve any problem!!

I took my master’s life-saving medicine, so it’s the fairest thing for me to do!”

After saying that, I stood up suddenly. Lao Bai and Brother Yaozi continued to talk outside the door, but I had finished what I should say and would not give any more response. I turned on the flashlight with a click and looked around.

The first floor of the tower is empty, with nothing. The steps are on the left.

The only unusual thing is that there is soil here, thick soil.

When the flashlight shines on it, the soil appears in three colors: red, black, and green.

I grabbed a handful of soil and put it to the tip of my nose and smelled it. There was a fishy smell of corpses. This was the three fishy soils. It was unmistakable.

I became more certain of my guess.

Then, I walked up the steps to the second floor.

This place is like a warehouse, like a wine cellar. It is densely packed with small jars.

I picked up one and looked at it. The jar was a clay pot, but the outside was painted with a layer of cinnabar and sealed with yellow paper in the shape of a cross.

Naturally, this jar is not for serving wine, but for calming the soul.

To be precise, after some Taoist people catch ghosts, they will seal them in such jars.

Most of the jars in front of me are open, and only a few of them are still sealed. There should be ghosts inside.

One of the jars attracted my attention. The yellow paper on the jar was obviously torn. After I saw the jar, my heart tightened for no reason, and I felt an inexplicable feeling of fear.

I know that it's not me who is afraid, but the spirit of the bird that I lost and found is afraid. It was sealed here before, but it was later called away.

"Hey, Cheng Yi, Soul Seducer...how many people have you killed!"

I sneered, stopped stopping, and continued walking up the steps to the third floor.

Here... there is only a huge coffin!

The coffin was made of copper, covered with rust spots, and the workmanship was very complicated. It could be considered an extremely expensive coffin.

After seeing the coffin, I stopped and did not approach it directly. Instead, I looked at the coffin and sighed softly: "We have come to this point, why continue to pretend to be dead? You also listen to what my friend and I said.
Chapter completed!
