Chapter 1233 Torture Chamber

Is there a ghost in this dark room?

He uttered a sound, walked around, and then stopped in the corner of the dark room, looking down at something: "There is a surprise here."

He Lingchuan walked closer and saw that it was a wooden bird cage.

At least the appearance is very similar to a bird cage, but there are no pillars, no water troughs, only grilles and a small door.

Dong Rui also came over to take a look: "This is a cage made of seabed wood."

Seabed wood can be used to inhabit souls. This alone makes this so-called "bird cage" extraordinary.

Fu Liushan raised the bell and approached the cage, and it rang twice again.

"Come out." He put away the bell, "I won't hurt you, I just have something to ask you."

The cage was quiet, and at first glance it seemed empty and there was nothing.

Fu Liushan took out a stick of incense, lit it, and blew the smoke into the cage.

In the smoke, a vague shadow seemed to be lifted.

"Show yourself, don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit!" Fu Liushan pointed the shining cigarette butt at the shadow, "I don't want to punish you like the Xuanlu Ghost King."

Hearing the words "Xuanlu Ghost King", the shadow moved a few times, and finally climbed up from the bottom of the cage and gathered into a human form.

It took a few deep puffs, and the smoke was sucked clean by it.

Fu Liushan's special incense is a tonic for weak ghosts, helping them stabilize their human form.

The shadow showed his face and looked like a man in his twenties, but he was haggard and had nothing below his right shoulder.

It turned out to be a ghost with a broken arm.

Fu Liushan is also a chatty person: "Such a big cage, you live alone?"

The broken-arm ghost spoke, his voice was hoarse: "There were more than 30 just now."

"It's so crowded. What about them?"

"They were eaten." The broken-arm ghost took two steps forward, "They were originally Xuanlu's food. Before the ghost king escaped, he asked the ghost slaves to catch them and feed them to him to replenish his strength."

Dong Rui raised his eyebrows: "The ghost king escaped? Are you sure?"

"Its vitality was seriously injured, only a little ghost energy was left. I have never seen it so weak, and it even needed the ghost slaves to hold it in a box." The broken-arm ghost said, "It didn't escape, is it waiting for you to come and collect it?"

"It took all the other souls in the cage to nourish it, why did it miss you?" Is it a trap left by the ghost king?

"I've lived in this cage for too long, longer than other unlucky ghosts. I know how to disperse my soul, which can deceive the ghost slaves for a while." The ghost with the broken arm said hoarsely, "Xuan Lu was too anxious to escape, and he ate all the captives here in a hurry without taking a closer look. I waited for eighty years for such an opportunity!"

"Eighty years?" Even He Lingchuan was a little moved, "You have been in this cage for eighty years?"

"More than 'wait'?" The ghost with the broken arm gritted his teeth and made a creaking sound. Before this, Lingguang had only heard of "ghost grinding teeth", but today he finally had the honor to see it. "For as long as one month, or as short as ten days, Xuanlu would catch me and torture me, either gouging out my eyes, chopping off my hands, or pulling out my cramps, all kinds of ways!"

"Then heal me. As soon as my injuries recover, it will be the next round of torture!" The armless ghost had veins popping out of the back of his hand when he grabbed the grille, "Eighty years! I have been like this for eighty years! Five days ago, Xuanlu put my arm into the millstone and spent two hours grinding it into powder!"

"It likes the wailing of both humans and ghosts!"

Fu Liushan couldn't help but say, "It likes to torture you, why?"

The ghost king Xuanlu specially kept a ghost and tortured it for eighty years?

This is not love, this is hate

"It hates me to the bone." The broken-armed ghost said, "It hates my ancestors to the bone!"

"Who are your ancestors?"

"Eighty years ago, I was doing small business in Yaopo and had married and had children. Although my life was ordinary, who could expect anything in the troubled times?" The broken-armed ghost whispered, "One night, the ghost king Xuanlu sneaked in and killed my whole family, and ate the souls of my wife and children in front of me. It said that my ancestor had betrayed it, and when it was at the end of its rope, I cut off its head to show its merit!"

"It searched for more than 200 years and finally found the descendants of the traitor. After it killed me, it imprisoned my soul and brought it back, torturing me in different ways. I begged it to give me a quick death, but the ghost king Xuanlu said that as long as it was there, I would suffer, not earlier or later."

He Lingchuan understood when he heard this. Three hundred years ago, Wang Xuanlu fled into the Howling Forest, and in the end he did not die at the hands of Bao Ning, but was beheaded by his subordinates to show his merit. With his character, he would become a fierce ghost after death, and of course he would never forget revenge.

Bao Ning's descendants were all killed by it, how could the subordinate who betrayed him be spared?

The ghost king hated him even more, so he wanted to torture his descendants endlessly.

"Do you know how desperate I am?" The armless ghost grabbed the grille and shouted, "Later, I didn't ask for death. I swore that one day I would also take revenge, and I would also chop off its head like my ancestors did!"

Fu Liushan took out the treasure pestle: "We will do this wish for you. You should ask for liberation the most."

He is a heavenly master, and it is his duty to convert ghosts.

"Wait, wait!" The armless ghost waved his hand hurriedly, "I can help you catch the Xuanlu ghost king!"

"You are trapped here, what can I do to help?"

"I know its breath best. I can track down any place it has been in three hours!" The armless ghost tried to prove his worth, "Besides, its subordinates tortured prisoners here, and I heard a lot of secrets, a lot! They never avoid me, they think I can't get out."

"For example?"

“For example, this was once a cave of immortals. The dark room we are in was once a torture room of immortals, filled with various torture instruments…”

“Wait a minute.” Dong Rui was surprised and interrupted, “Is this a torture room of immortals? What do you mean, immortals torture others?”

“Yes, that should be what they mean. I heard them say that when the Xuanlu Ghost King first discovered this place, there were already various torture instruments here, but they were very large and did not seem to be used by humans; in addition, there were many remains tied here, some of which had their chests cut open, and some had their heads chopped off, but they were large in size, and none of them looked like…”

Dong Rui thought it spoke too slowly: “None of them looked like humans?”

“Yes, yes, none of them looked like humans.”

Dong Rui’s eyes showed a little fanaticism: “Do they look like the two remains outside that were pierced by the sword on the wall?”

“Uh, or, maybe.”

He Lingchuan and Fu Liushan looked at each other in surprise:

What does this mean? The immortals living in this cave tortured the demons?

The title of “immortal” sounds very Taoist and immortal. However, in ancient times, the war between immortals and demons had already reached a fever pitch. Both sides were so bloodthirsty that they would resort to any means possible.

The demons are ruthless, but are immortals loving?
