"What is hooking up? A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory! Your sister and I have become a monk couple. You have to respect me as a brother-in-law." Liang Yan said with a half-smile but not a smile.
Jia Ruoyan seemed to have been imprisoned for too long and was not used to it for a while. While moving her body, she looked at Liang Yan with disbelief.
"Is there anyone in this world who can conquer my sister? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
After hearing this, Liang Yan sneered: "What else? If it weren't for your sister, do you think I might have saved you?"
"That's true."
Jia Ruoyan nodded.
She understood that she and Liang Yan had no friendship at all, and even had a feud. If it weren't for unintentional reasons, there would be no reason to save her.
However, compared to being saved, she seemed to be more shocked by Liang Yan and Wu Xin's double cultivation.
"Back then, you were just a young monk in the Juyuan Realm, born on a remote island. I didn't expect that you would have such a level of cultivation now, and even marry my sister! Wow, I really didn't expect that there would be hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the human continent!"
"Okay, we'll talk about your sister and I later. First tell me how you came to Fengdu City, no, how you came to the 'Ghost Prison'."
"oh."
Jia Ruoyan nodded and was about to speak when she suddenly screamed and covered her chest with both hands, with a look of pain on her face.
"what happened?"
Liang Yan's face changed slightly. He scanned it with his spiritual consciousness and found that the aura in Jia Ruoyan's body was very chaotic. The real demon's aura was running around in her meridians and might explode at any time.
"It's the 'Life and Death Pill'!" Zhao Xunzhen's voice sounded at this moment.
"Life and Death Pill?"
Liang Yan remembered what she had said before. If a living person wants to enter Fengdu City, he must take the "Life and Death Pill", and it seems that Jia Ruoyan is no exception.
"The antidote is in King Canglan's storage ring. It is a red medicine bottle. It must be taken every six months." Jia Ruoyan said intermittently in a hoarse voice.
After Liang Yan heard this, he immediately raised his hand and took a photo of a storage ring that fell on the ground.
He casually unlocked the restrictions on it, scanned it with his spiritual consciousness, and soon found the red medicine bottle Jia Ruoyan mentioned.
"Is this the cure?"
Liang Yan opened the cork and immediately smelled the pungent smell of rancidity, which was like a lump of rotten meat and made people nauseous.
"Yes, that's it!"
Jia Ruoyan's eyes were shining, and her delicate body was trembling. Looking at her, she looked like a drowning person who saw a life-saving straw.
Seeing this, Liang Yan examined it carefully for a moment with his consciousness, shook his head slightly and said, "No, you can't take this antidote anymore."
"Give it to me! Give it to me quickly!"
Jia Ruoyan's expression became anxious, and even a trace of saliva flowed from the corner of her mouth, making her look very hungry.
But Liang Yan remained unmoved. He exerted slight force with his two fingers while eating, causing the medicine bottle to shatter instantly and the elixir inside turned into red powder.
"ah!"
Jia Ruoyan screamed unconsciously, her pupils were dilated and her eyes were dull, as if her most beloved thing had been taken away and she had lost hope in her entire life.
"Master, after taking the 'Life and Death Pill', you must take the antidote at regular intervals, otherwise the poison will develop and life will be worse than death." Zhao Xunzhen reminded.
She had experienced this kind of pain before, and it was inevitable that she would sympathize with the situation.
"This is not a real antidote." Liang Yan sighed: "Taking this antidote can only temporarily suppress the toxicity of the 'Life and Death Pill', but it will keep the toxicity accumulating. If I guess correctly, the more times you take it, the more
The shorter the interval, right?"
After Zhao Xunzhen heard this, he was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, it's true. When I took the first and second pills, there was a gap of two years. Later, it slowly turned into one year. By the time I left for the Thousand Magic Tower in half a year, I was already taking the first pill every month.
You must take one pill."
"That's right." Liang Yan nodded and said thoughtfully: "Scholar Ghost Hands took advantage of his mission time to travel. I'm afraid he also wanted to find a way to counter the 'Life and Death Pill'. Unfortunately, he was met by Lian Xin and could only drink his hatred.
And die."
"Then what should we do now? Are we just going to watch her die from the poison?" Zhao Xunzhen frowned.
"of course not."
Liang Yan smiled slightly: "This is my sister-in-law. If I can't save her, how will I see my wife in the future?"
After saying that, he helped Jia Ruoyan up and asked her to sit cross-legged, while he sat behind her.
"Life and Death Pill" has no solution in the eyes of ordinary people, but for Liang Yan, it is not impossible to treat.
He divided the power of his spiritual consciousness into twelve parts and entered Jia Ruoyan's body. He quickly grasped her basic situation, and combined with many methods recorded in the "Shennong Emperor Sutra", he began to heal her injuries.
A faint green light enveloped the two of them, and huge mana continued to pour into Jia Ruoyan's body.
After about half an hour, Jia Ruoyan's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and a trace of color returned to her pale face.
After a while, the woman slowly opened her eyes.
"I am"
Her mind went blank, and there was a look of confusion in her eyes.
But he quickly came to his senses and said in horror: "It's the Life and Death Pill! I want the antidote for the life and death erysipelas! I want the antidote!"
"Don't worry, it's okay now." Liang Yan patted Jia Ruoyan on the back and said calmly.
At this time, Jia Ruoyan also noticed something was wrong.
If we go by past experiences, when the "Life and Death Pill" poison occurs, we must be in excruciating pain, and we don't even have the strength to speak. How can we be so sober as now?
Looking inside with spiritual consciousness is not like taking an antidote, because every time you take the antidote, you will feel a sense of exhaustion and weakness, and occasionally you will have hallucinations.
Now these symptoms are gone!
"What exactly did you do to me?" Jia Ruoyan looked surprised.
"I just helped you suppress the toxicity temporarily."
Liang Yan said calmly: "The poison of the Life and Death Pill is rooted deep in the soul, and the two have merged into one. Unless you give up this body and soul, it will be difficult to get rid of the eight extraordinary meridians I just adjusted for you, so that
The poison cannot spread, but the price is that your soul power will be weakened by half."
After listening to his explanation, Jia Ruoyan felt that everything hit the mark, and she couldn't help but ignite the fire of hope in her heart. She couldn't wait to ask: "In your opinion, can the poison of this 'Life and Death Pill' be cured?"
Liang Yan did not answer immediately, but stretched out two fingers to pick up some of the elixir powder that he had just crushed, and put it in front of his eyes to observe carefully.
"Actually, this antidote is not useless. Excluding the poisonous part, it still contains ingredients that can restrain the 'Life and Death Pill'. It's just a pity that the types are not complete. I guess this is the intention of the monks on the lower ninth floor because they can't leave the ghost prison.
, so we can only control the monks on the ninth floor through this incomplete antidote."
"What do you mean?" Jia Ruoyan seemed to understand what he said.
??????55.??????
Liang Yan smiled slightly: "If you want to completely unlock the 'Life and Death Pill', you must go to the lower ninth floor with me."
Hearing "nine floors below", Jia Ruoyan's body visibly trembled, and there was a hint of fear in the depths of her eyes.
Liang Yan saw this and frowned slightly: "Why, have you been there?"
"Um."
Jia Ruoyan nodded and said slowly: "After my sister and I separated, I was accidentally involved in a treasure hunt in a secret realm. After that, I was trapped in the secret realm for more than a hundred years. I finally cultivated to the level of Tongxuan.
I just escaped from there, but I didn't expect that a war between the north and the south had broken out in the world of cultivation."
"At that time, I really wanted to look for my sister, but there was a huge crowd and fighting everywhere, so I didn't have a clue. Later, I was accidentally captured by a tribulation ancestor from Seven Star City, and was imprisoned as a prisoner in the Ghost Prison.
Fifteenth floor."
"The fifteenth floor?" Liang Yan raised his eyebrows: "So you have indeed been to the 'lower ninth floor'. What is it like down there?"
"There are many Nanxuan monks imprisoned on the lower ninth floor." Jia Ruoyan recalled: "I don't understand what they want to do by arresting so many people. Starting from the eleventh floor, they imprisoned monks from the Qi Refining Stage to the Golden Core Stage.
There are tens of millions of people, and those detained from the fifteenth floor onwards are all Tongxuan realm monks, and I don’t know what is going on."
Having said this, he paused for a moment and then continued: "There are many traps on the lower nine floors, and there are many masters and tight defenses. The most powerful among them is the 'Ten Halls of Hell', and these ten people are all ghost cultivators.
, with powerful magic power and cruel methods, all prisoners who reach the lower ninth floor are afraid of him."
"You have only seen prisoners below the Tongxuan realm. Have you heard anything about the saint?" Liang Yan asked.
"Saint?" Jia Ruoyan was surprised and asked: "You mean there are saints imprisoned in this ghost prison?"
"Not bad." Liang Yan nodded.
"If a saint is really imprisoned here, it can only be on the 18th floor! It is said that this floor is very mysterious, and only the 'Ten Palaces of Hell' can open it if they gather together." Jia Ruoyan said thoughtfully.
"Is Lord Yan of the Tenth Hall a ghost cultivator?" Liang Yan murmured, his eyes flashing with light.
The two of them each had their own thoughts and were silent for a moment, but Jia Ruoyan spoke again:
"The reason why I married King Canglan was arranged by the prison lord of the fifteenth floor, King Bian Cheng. Although I don't know what his purpose was, I managed to escape. If you want to enter the lower ninth floor, I can
I will be your guide, but only on the fifteenth floor. I have never been to the floors below."
After Liang Yan heard this, his thoughts started to change and he understood instantly.
It was obvious that King Bian Cheng wanted to get closer to Tiangong City. He knew that King Canglan was a subordinate of the Demon Saint and had a lustful nature, so he followed his fancy and gave Jia Ruoyan as a gift.
However, because of this, Jia Ruoyan did not suffer too much torture on the lower ninth floor, and she escaped a disaster.
"I came here to rob the prison this time. Since you know something about the lower nine levels, then just stay with me." Liang Yan said calmly.
"Okay, I'll go with you!"
Jia Ruoyan nodded slightly and looked at Liang Yan with hopeful eyes: "I must remove the poison of the Life and Death Pill, otherwise life would be worse than death! Whether you can come back this time depends on you, brother-in-law!"
"Come into my gourd first."
Liang Yan didn't say much, he raised his hand and cast a spell, and put Jia Ruoyan into the Taixu Gourd.
Looking around, I saw that the interior of the palace was in a mess, with more than two thousand demon cultivators dead and all kinds of magic weapons and storage rings scattered on the floor.
Of course he looked down upon these things, but after all, they were a resource that might be used in the future, so he put all these treasures into the Taixu Gourd.
After cleaning the battlefield, Liang Yan walked towards the back of the palace without looking back.
Soon, he came to the dry well he had seen before.
"The entrance to the seventh floor."
Liang Yan's eyes narrowed slightly.
At this moment, six hours have passed since he entered the ghost prison, and there are still two and a half days left.
"Master, wait for me."
After muttering silently in his heart, Liang Yan took a big step and jumped directly into the well without any hesitation in his eyes. His figure was soon submerged by the surging wave of space.
Through the transmission of space nodes, it only took Liang Yan a moment to reach the seventh floor.
This place is different from the first six floors. There are no vast ghost mountains, but there are many blue volcanoes that erupt a large amount of magma from time to time, making the temperature here extremely high and unbearably hot!
A wisp of black smoke flew out from the Taixu gourd, constantly changing in mid-air, and finally revealed the figure of Zhao Xunzhen.
"Master, most of the monks on this level practice 'Netherworld Ghost Fire' and need to use the environment to temper it all year round. Therefore, although the number is not large, their cultivation level is not low."
"Yes." Liang Yan nodded and asked, "Which direction is the prison master?"
"To the southeast, the prison lord's name is 'Qing Beiwang'. This person has a very strange personality. He doesn't seem to have any personal relationship with Scholar Guishou. I don't know if he will believe us."
"It's okay, try it first, if it doesn't work, then do it."
As Liang Yan spoke, he pinched a spell in his hand, disguised himself as a "ghost-hand scholar" again, and then used Zhao Xun Zhen's ghost energy to condense into an escaping light and galloped toward the southeast.
The black light cut through the sky at an extremely fast speed. About half an hour later, a volcano was seen in the distance, tens of thousands of feet high, and its entire body was green.
"On the top of that mountain." Zhao Xunzhen whispered.
Liang Yan nodded and urged Dunguang to gallop upwards. The sentry restrictions along the way were unable to stop him, and he reached the top of the mountain in just a moment.
There is a strange mountain villa located here. The overall shape is like a huge brazier with a miserable green flame burning in the middle.
There were hundreds of monks flying around outside the villa, each holding an oil paper lantern in their hands. Sometimes the candles in the lanterns would run out, but soon a will-o'-the-wisp would fly out from inside the villa and light them up again.
Oil lamp in hand.
Liang Yan observed attentively for a moment and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"This 'Looking to the North' is not simple."
He could see that although these hundreds of monks were not at a high level, they formed a mysterious formation. The will-o'-the-wisp lanterns in their hands could illuminate every inch of space near the villa. Even those with a sub-sage cultivation level could not
If you approach the villa silently, you will be noticed by the owner of the villa immediately.
While thinking this way, a voice suddenly sounded from inside the villa, and said angrily: "Who came here uninvited?"
Liang Yan had no intention of hiding it, and immediately said with a smile: "I am back in the ghost prison, and I would like to ask fellow Taoist Qing to come out and see me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a ray of light coming through the sky, and he arrived at the entrance of the villa in a blink of an eye.
This person appeared, but he was a tall man with a nine-foot-high head, a red face and a red beard, holding a skull crutch in his hand, and a black leather gourd on his waist.
