Chapter 1590 Nine prisoners
Xiang Kai continued: "When we rushed to Miao territory, we did not join you and sneaked into the secret burial of the queen. It was because we suspected that the queen had betrayed the emperor."
Dark Night Owl's face suddenly became extremely ugly. If Lao Liu hadn't stopped him in time, Dark Night Owl would have easily had a seizure on the spot.
Xiang Kai also quickly explained: "Our suspicion of Hou Qing's rebellion is actually based on his early awakening."
"Furthermore, Dark Night Owl's subsequent actions in building the Yanyu Tower and marrying Feng Luoluo do not seem to be waiting for the emperor's return."
"So, we entered the tomb of Hou Qing one step ahead of schedule."
Xiang Kai said: "As a result, we saw a letter from Bu Ting, the ancestor of the Bu family."
"He did indeed do some tricks on the Yanyu Tower, but the reason why he secretly renovated the Yanyu Tower was because he suspected that the Queen had rebelled."
"However, Bu Ting did not say that he had obtained substantial evidence, and he did not dare to use Zhu Ni rashly to try the Queen."
Xiang Kai paused here and said: "I wanted to go to the Night Owl for an interview at the time, but later I was afraid of disturbing the situation, so I withdrew from the secret burial of the Queen and rushed to Dreamland."
"Because, it was written in Bu Ting's letter that he will go to Dreamland to look for Ying Gou next."
According to the calculation of time, Xiang Kai and the others should have rushed to Dreamland after coming out of Miao territory. In terms of time, they were half a month earlier than us.
I asked curiously: "As far as I know, only the dead and half-ghosts can enter the Great Dream. How did you get in?"
Xiang Kai said: "We are taking the secret path left by Bu Ting. From there we can go directly to the fourth village."
"Bu Ting is the founder of the four villages in Dreamland."
"He built the Conferred God Platform and the Nine-person Prison here, and trapped himself, Ying Gou, and one other person in the Big Dream."
"He has been waiting for the descendants of the Bu family to come and open the nine-person prison."
"This time, if Bu Youming hadn't come, I wouldn't have been able to reach the fourth village."
As Xiang Kai spoke, he took us to the center of the fourth village; "This can be called the fourth secret realm. The staircase in front of us is the entrance to the fourth secret realm."
I looked at the stairs leading deep into the underground and said, "The corpse aura here is very strong!"
Xiang Kai said: "That's true. I once went down to explore the secret realm below, but before I could walk a hundred meters, I couldn't stand the attack of corpse energy and retreated."
"I estimate that the only people who can walk down from here are the zombies on the right and fourth guard."
Night Owl hung his hand above the entrance: "Well, judging from the richness of the corpse aura, it is indeed true."
"If I don't come over, then someone needs to release the winning hook first before he can go down and open the secret realm."
"This is one link in the nine-person prison. Where is the other link?"
The minimum number of people detained in the "Nine-person Prison" is three, and these three people form an endless cycle of watching each other.
As long as the three of them cannot reach a consensus, this triangular relationship can never be broken, and no one can break the "nine-person prison" from the inside.
Xiang Kai said: "This is exactly what I want to say, you come with me!"
Xiang Kai took us to the house in the middle of the fourth secret realm: "When we arrived here, we immediately captured the leader of the fourth village and took control of the fourth village."
"The name of the village leader here is Wang Qiu. He should be a tomb robber, but he doesn't seem to remember anything."
"However, he has been recruiting dead people from the village below to dig a special kind of wood near the fourth secret realm."
"He himself said: The purpose of wanting that kind of wood is to build a ship to cross the sea of the underworld and open the secret burial of Yinggou."
I asked back: "Have you ever been to Yinggou Secret Burial?"
"I've never been there!" Bu Youming said: "It is recorded in the ancestor's notes that if there is no ferry on the Styx River, don't go near the Sea of Styx, otherwise, you will be invaded by the corpse energy and turn into an immortal corpse."
Ye Yang and I were able to enter and exit the Nether Sea because we both maintained half-ghost bodies and could not easily transform into corpses.
Xiang Kai and others have strong cultivations, but they are still mortal bodies, and corpse poison is more harmful to mortals than to corpses.
For example, even if Ye Yang and I inhale corpse poison, we can retreat calmly before the poison is released. Once Xiang Kai and others are infected by corpse poison, their skills will be greatly reduced.
If you forcefully attack someone and allow the corpse poison to seep into their internal organs, they may suffer damage to their internal organs even if they escape.
Xiang Kai said: "We used Wang Qiu's name and asked the people in the secret realm below to recruit five hundred immortal corpses to continue digging for that kind of wood."
I couldn't help but look at Xiang Kai: "You mean, you are recruiting immortal corpses, not buying corpses from outside?"
Xiang Kai also asked: "I just wanted to ask you, what do you mean when I buy dead people outside?"
I told Xiang Kai and the others exactly what happened after I met Old Man Zuo.
Xiang Kai and Bu Youming were also stunned. After a while, Xiang Kai said: "Someone falsely conveyed our intention!"
