Pick up the Dragon

He stared dumbfounded into the cell, and saw the "man" hanging half dead, three quarters of his body soaked in water, without clothes, only shoulders, arms and unkempt head.The iron chains that hung him were more rotten than the iron fences, as if they might break at any moment.

The man just poked in the water motionless, with his head up, his mouth was a bloody mess, without a tongue or teeth.

Peng Yu suddenly remembered his bizarre nightmare, was startled suddenly, and subconsciously took a step back.

"Young master," Qian Yue, who has always been quiet, said abruptly, "What are you talking about? How can there be any living things? Besides water...is there anything else?"

Before he had time to react to the meaning of the words, Li Wei took over the conversation: "That's not a human, it's a ghost." He waved to Qianyue, "You poke your head over here."

Qian Yue moved towards him according to his words, and felt that the other party's cold fingertips touched the center of his eyebrows, and a stream of dragon's blood was smeared on it: "Temporarily open the third eye for you, it lasts for one hour, don't rub it off."

She blinked, and when she looked at the cell again, she saw the same scene as what Peng Yu had seen, and couldn't help but "hissing" out of breath.

Peng Yu finally came to his senses and pointed to himself: "Isn't it? She can't see it, why can I see it? I don't have yin and yang eyes, I've never seen a ghost before."

Li Yi didn't answer.

"Heh..." The ghost in the cell suddenly moved, opened and closed his mouth, as if shouting something, but because he didn't have a tongue, he couldn't speak normal words.

Qian Yue listened carefully: "...flowers?"

Peng Yu: "Huan...huh?"

Li Yi shook his head: "No, it's 'injustice'."

"There is a large spirit-binding formation here," Teng Snake changed their topic, opened his mouth again on his shoulder, then flew into the air, and drew a circle with his tail in a funny way, "the formation is all over the city, die in the formation Everyone's soul will be trapped in the formation, and the eye of the formation is under this person's feet."

Li Yi: "You want us to destroy it?"

"That's what it means."

Li Yi didn't answer, rubbed his chin lightly with his fingers, and scattered his eyes in all directions: "The spirit-binding formation...is really weird. Do you know who set up this formation and what is its purpose?"

"I don't know." Teng Snake answered bluntly, "I passed over Chenzhou by accident half a year ago, and felt that there was a lot of resentment here, so I came down to take a look, but who knew that I was trapped in the city as soon as I entered the city. I can't see Whose handwriting is this? It's not like that of the fairy family, it's not like that of the demon world, and it's not something that can be found in the world."

The formation that can trap the Soaring Snake, no matter who it comes from, is a big deal.

"That formation consumes my mana all the time, and uses my mana to support the operation of the formation. I was trapped here for half a year, and my mana was almost exhausted, otherwise it would not be what it is now. I found the eye of the formation, I have roughly figured out the weakness of the formation, but I have no ability to destroy it." Teng She sighed, "Fortunately, you are here."

Li Yi squinted his eyes again, "fortunately" he's here?What kind of "fortunate" is it that he, a dragon king who has lost his mana, is here?Could it be that he shook the earth's air and water veins with a shocking blow, which is also "fortunately"?

He rubbed the water-avoiding talisman: "You said it lightly. You have been trapped in the formation for half a year, and you have already become part of the formation. If I destroy the formation, you will also be wiped out. What, how long have you lived?" Is the thousand-year-old Soaring Snake willing to sacrifice for these mortals?"

As soon as he said this, the two "mortals" poking at the side frowned in unison.

"What can I do?" Teng Snake smiled wryly, but it was a pity that the wry smile came out of the snake's mouth, and it looked strange and sad, "I will die as soon as I am trapped, and I will die if I die sooner or later. What choice do I have?"

"Since you said so—" Li Yi no longer hesitated, took out a fire talisman, and threw it into the prison suddenly, "Then respect is worse than obedience."

The fire talisman accurately hit the ugly ghost, "Hula" burst into flames, and the head of the humanoid that was originally inhuman was instantly burned off.The flames went all the way down amidst the shrill screams, and actually "poofed" into the turbid clear water, hitting a pool of white bones wrapped in mud at Li Gui's feet, and burning dully.

Using the dragon's eyes and firelight, he saw that the pile of white bones was arranged in a strange shape, which was definitely not the appearance of collapsing to the ground after a normal death.Even if there is water flowing, the bones embedded in the mud cannot be lifted, which is an excellent location for the formation.

It seemed that Peng Yu couldn't bear to see this miserable scene of burning soul, and what Li Yi said just now made him feel a little bit uncomfortable - the two of them have been together for these days, and the other party has always looked like a human being, and he almost forgot whether that person is a real person or not. of humans.

How can the Dragon King, who is so high above him, care about the life and death of these small fish and shrimps in the world.

He turned his back and temporarily let the white shadow out of his sight.He forced himself to look calmly at the cell behind him. The strange thing was that there were no people imprisoned or ghosts trapped in it.He looked around with some doubts, and found that the inside was surprisingly clean, not like what it should be like in this gloomy water prison.

The oil lamp leaned forward, and the light became clearer. Suddenly, something reflected a subtle light under the light. He looked intently, and found that there was something inserted in the place where the oil lamp was originally placed on the wall. It was made of green material. Appears to be a hosta.

His eyes, which never failed in front of antiques, instantly shone, and he pushed open the gate of the cell without even thinking about it—the door was unlocked, and he slid open with the water flow with a slight push .

When he came back to his senses, he had already stood in the cell, pinching the jade hairpin with his fingers.At the same time, a thought flashed through his mind: why did he come in?

Although he likes money and making money, he is by no means someone who will risk his life just for a little gain.At this moment, for some reason, the little greed in his heart was magnified to the extreme, as if it would be such a big loss if he didn't get this thing, and he would regret it for the rest of his life.

It's a pity that the rare Qingming meteor flew by like chasing the moon, but he still closed his fingers and grabbed the jade hairpin with all his strength.

Qian Yue didn't notice the strange behavior of her young master, her gaze was still on the cluster of "water and fire", as if she had never seen such a miraculous thing in her life.She stared at the looming fire in the water without blinking. The flexible and jumping flame was like some kind of beautiful elf, which attracted her whole body and mind to cast on it.

It wasn't until there was a "bang" sound behind her that she seemed to have been hit in the head, and she turned around quickly to see that the cell door was tightly closed, shaking a string of trembling water.

At the same time, the unchanging oil lamp in Peng Yu's hand went "poof" and went out for no reason.

"Master!"

Qianyue was terrified, and quickly stretched out his arms to try to open the prison door, but the rusty iron door, which seemed to be broken if it was broken, seemed to have grown in place at this moment, letting her push and shake it None of them moved.

"Get out of the way!"

Qian Yue heard all the commotion here, and it was impossible for Li Yi not to hear it.He was stunned for a second, as if he didn't understand how Peng Yu got into the cell inexplicably, then his heart skipped a beat, his face sank, and he grabbed the two iron bars with both hands and snapped them to the sides.

The two-finger-thick solid iron fence was just broken by him so that a gap could be passed by one person, but Peng Yu poked it in place like a demon, and he didn't notice it at all.He thought that the other party had committed night blindness again and dared not move, so he was about to go in and arrest him, but suddenly he heard Teng Snake's stern roar: "Be careful!"

The fierce ghost who was supposed to be buried under the fire talisman broke free and was turned into a gray mist without end by the flames, roaring and sweeping towards Li Yi.

Qianyue drew out his knife very quickly, and slashed at the gray mist—it's a pity that the killing knife was not a ghost-slaying knife, it couldn't shake the gray mist at all, and it still slammed towards the Dragon King like a rainbow hitting the sun.

Li Yi had already stepped into the prison cell, and his body was stuck in the narrow gap of the fence. No matter how thin he was, he couldn't turn around, and he took the blow firmly on his back.

He was directly thrown into the cell by the sudden force, staggered, and the water-proof talisman almost fell out of his hand.After the gray mist hit him, the momentum continued unabated, it made a tricky arc, and then slammed straight at Peng Yu in a daze.

"You're looking for death!" He suppressed a mouthful of fishy sweetness that rolled down his throat, and slammed it out with a bloody smell, setting off an unknown wave of anger.He stretched out his hand swiftly, and with five fingers formed into claws, he grabbed the gray mist forcefully, and the gray mist was actually scratched away amidst the distorted screaming sound.

At the same time, he clasped Peng Yu's wrist with the other hand, and Peng Yu came to his senses in a jerk, and asked nonchalantly, "Ah? What's the matter? Why did the lights go out?"

Li Yi didn't answer at all, and dragged him out of the cell.Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, the whole water prison began to tremble again, and the water surface began to vibrate with the shaking, causing countless ripples.

"Hurry up... go away!" Teng Snake said and flew towards the exit. Before it could turn around the three-way intersection, it was forced back by a cloud of gray mist—all the innocent souls in this water prison are at this juncture. Shang Qi brushed free and roared towards them!

No wonder the place is designed like this, waiting for them here!

"Leave this to me!" Teng Snake's body suddenly swelled up to the thickness of an arm, and its mouth widened to the extreme, swallowing the air and the gray mist into its body like a whale.

And Li Yi took out a stack of talisman papers as if he didn't want money, and gnawed a hole in the palm of his hand, and the blood drops fell one after another in a "click" and "click". Burn it into a fire dragon to intercept the gray mist coming from the other side passage.

Qian Yue was protecting Peng Yu, who was completely blind, and they were fighting and retreating, but before they could take a few steps, there was a "bang" sound from the direction of the entrance of the water prison, and the faint light that penetrated the door was completely blocked out— —The heavy stone gate actually closed by itself!

Several people were trapped in the water prison as if they were caught in a urn, Teng Snake flicked away a cloud of gray mist: "Go to the skylight!"

Li Yi just drew a wind talisman, and the strong wind poured in from the skylight, and the fire was multiplied in an instant, almost covering the entire passage.Under the burning of the flames, the unjust souls wailed mournfully, and the grievances and grievances came one after another, all of which fell into the ears of Peng Yu, who had exceptionally keen hearing due to temporary blindness.

"I'm wronged! I didn't kill anyone, I just reported it! He was the one who fell into the well after drinking too much, so why condemn me!"

"I was just greedy for petty gain and touched three copper coins from Zhang butcher's chopping board, and I even bought his meat! Why should I be locked up and tortured!"

"I didn't commit adultery! I'm innocent! We met by chance, but the rainy day gave her a ride to hide from the rain at her house. Why should I be convicted of adultery! I'll die, you let my wife and children go! Dog officer! I Curse you to pieces!"

"I didn't intend to kill my mother! She was old and unconscious and ran around with a kitchen knife. I accidentally injured her when I grabbed it! It was just a small injury, so why should I say that I am rebellious——!"

"I was wronged——!"

"Injustice—!"

The screams of countless innocent souls poured into his ears, and Peng Yu felt as if a needle had been stabbed into his temple, and his head was about to burst in an instant.His ears were buzzing, and his brain was torn apart by the huge impact. He took a deep breath of stale air uncontrollably, and let out a heart-piercing roar with the greatest strength in his life:

"Shut the fuck up for me—!"

When he yelled this sentence, his whole body seemed to be drained of strength, and his body leaned against the wall, his hands trembling so much that he could hardly hold the talisman.I don't know if he lost his hearing temporarily due to too much force, or if those innocent souls were really scolded, the surroundings became strangely quiet, except for the earthquake, the sound of the wind and the vibration of the water, no other sounds could be heard.

Li Yi was also shocked by the roar and his ears buzzed, as if the golden bell hit by the monks hit his eardrum directly.He took a breath of cold air with a "hiss", and suppressed a long roar that rolled to the tip of his tongue.

He came to his senses as if enlightened, unaware that the blood in his eyes was gradually fading, and he finally caught the reminder of Teng Snake, and looked up.

What was he thinking just now?He was actually thinking that the water prison would be collapsed directly, so that none of those evil spirits and ghosts would run out.

Qian Yue suddenly rushed in front of him, squatted down on the wall and said, "Step on my shoulder!"

The skylight is set up to be as high as two people, and the walls are covered with moss, I am afraid that the lightness kung fu is not easy to use.Li Yi didn't care whether the other party was a man or a woman, so he stepped on her shoulder respectfully and obediently, touched the iron railing of the skylight and pushed hard——

In panic, he used too much force, and directly threw the entire iron window out.

Immediately, he jumped down immediately, holding Qianyue's legs involuntarily and forcibly lifted her up from the window.

As soon as Qian Yue went out, he immediately adjusted his posture and stretched his arms inward.And at this moment, several ghosts who slipped through the net crazily slammed into the sluice one after another. The stones of the sluice could not withstand such a strong impact, and they shattered and collapsed after a few strokes, and fresh water leaked in like a flood. .

After making a fuss for a long time, those innocent souls are not coming at them, but wanting to smash the sluice gate!

"The water-avoiding talisman can't get in the water!" Li Yi yelled so loudly that he almost didn't hear it.He pulled Peng Yu over and wanted to lift him up like a submerged mountain, but after all, men weighed more than women, and he exhausted his strength repeatedly. Not only could his empty stomach not provide physical strength, but he was also focused on giving him strength. Add to the chaos.

He couldn't get up with this move, he was stuck in mid-air, his mind was dizzy and his eyes went dark for a moment.Fortunately, Peng Yu regained his eyesight with the light of the sky outside and the flickering fire talisman. When he saw Qian Yue's hand, he quickly grasped it.

A person's weight was taken away from his arms, Li Yi was slightly relieved, and at the same time his head became more dizzy.The water was still pouring in continuously, and it had already reached his chest.He barely raised the water-avoiding talisman, and the flying snake flew out of his head, shouting: "Dragon King, hurry up!"

"Give me your hand!" Qian Yue threw Peng Yu to the ground, and hurriedly came to pull Li Yi.

Li Yi held the water-avoiding talisman in one hand, and without thinking about it in his drowsy mind, he handed over his right hand—but the palm of his right hand was gnawed open by himself, and his hand was covered with sticky blood. the best lubricant.Qianyue grabbed his hand, but couldn't exert any force.

Li Yi himself lost his strength, although he could not drown in the water alone, but...

Before he could use his hands and feet to climb up, those ghosts who had smashed the sluice came at him again with a roar and a tsunami, and they started to cooperate with each other with high IQ, one wrapped around his waist, and the other grabbed his legs One bites his arm to pull his hand out of Qianyue's grip, and the last one wraps around his neck and tightens it tightly, covering his eyes.

At the same time, the rising water overflowed his mouth and nose.
