The Ninth Prince tapped his palm lightly with his fan and said: "I am not in the mood to discuss right and wrong with you, and I am not in the mood to listen to your so-called difficulties. You should think carefully about whether to complete your mission or continue to linger, right?"
Zhong Ling burst into tears: "Why do you all come to force me? Why are you all forcing me?"
"I was cast by someone to protect Xing Ancient City. It has not changed since I had spiritual consciousness until today. However, the people closest to me want to protect the secrets under Xing Ancient City. What should I do?"
"I can't kill him, and I can't watch the lives of Xinggu City go to waste. What can I do?"
The Ninth Prince looked at Xingu City and said, "You don't have much time. If the soul fire goes out, someone will die. I think you should stop talking nonsense."
While the Ninth Prince was speaking, a soul fire slowly extinguished, and then a confused ghost appeared on the roof of that house. The ghost seemed to have no idea why he was suddenly standing on the roof.
Zhong Ling said sadly: "I know why you want to kill me. Unless I die, you won't dare to explore the secret with all your strength. You are afraid that I will seal the entrance after you enter the secret."
"You are afraid, and Gu Ling is also afraid. However, you don't dare to kill me, because if I don't want to die, any place in Xinggu City can be my hiding place. It is also because of this that Gu Ling kills me. Sewn into the clock.”
Zhong Ling paused slightly and said: "I am dead, can you let Gu Ling go?"
The Ninth Prince said calmly: "Jiang Leyou is also looking forward to your death."
"I know!" Zhong Ling smiled miserably, and the bronze bell made an earth-shattering sound without anyone touching it. The invisible sound waves spread in all directions with the bell tower as the center, and soul fire burned throughout the city. Under the sound of the bells, they were all extinguished. Except for the lights in the direction of the prison, the rest of Xinggu City was completely plunged into deathly darkness, like a dead city, with no life and no light.
When the bell rang for the second time, several finger-width cracks opened on the bronze bell, and traces of spiritual energy drifted out from the cracks.
Finally, the bronze bell gave out its final cry. The tremor did not sound like a real bell, but a sound like hammering broken iron.
Perhaps Zhong Ling still wanted to use that last voice to say something to others? But no one cares about her ending.
The Ninth Prince slowly walked down between the bell towers. The copper bells exploded around him, and the broken copper pieces clinked to the ground. Outside the bell tower, a dark wind was blowing, and dust and sand were everywhere. Ye San had already been beaten by Ye San. The ghosts and gods of the ghost market who had been forced to retreat appeared again.
This time, they did not bring their own stalls, but gathered around the street and stared at the empty clock tower.
The Ninth Prince gently unfolded the folding fan: "The disciples of the Qi Sect are here, and the gods will avoid them."
Someone roared: "Do the disciples of the Qi Sect even have to take care of the fight between ghosts and gods?"
"Ghosts and gods are not allowed to enter the clock tower of the ancient city for a hundred years, and any offenders will be killed!" The Ninth Prince shook his fan and slowly walked towards the ghosts and gods. Hundreds of ghosts and gods automatically made way for the Ninth Prince.
It wasn't until the Ninth Prince walked away that the ghosts and gods guarding the street rushed towards the clock tower after looking at each other.
As soon as the scurrying figures rushed to the edge of the bell tower, there was a strange sound like a sharp blade cutting through the air. Dozens of human heads flew into the air at the same time and exploded into phosphorus fire. The miserable green fire seemed to be hanging in the air. The lanterns illuminated half of the street and scared the ghosts and gods away from taking another step beyond the thunder pond.
Someone cursed in a low voice: "The disciples of the Qi Sect are too lenient. He personally forced Zhong Ling to death and did not let anyone else take the position. This bell tower was banned for a hundred years, but Zhong Ling came back to life. He is sick. ?"
The ghosts and gods scolded and hated, but no one dared to go up to the bell tower anymore.
Later, when Ye Sanqi told me about this, I also felt that there was something wrong with Lord Ninth Prince’s mind? Ye Sanqi just said lightly: Don't forget, he is the Ninth Prince.
Ye Sanqi didn't explain anything to me, and I didn't bother to pay attention to the Ninth Prince's thoughts. It was enough for me to know the scene at that time.
When the Ninth Prince forced Zhong Ling to death, Ye Sanqi was sitting in the warden's office drinking tea. The warden sitting opposite him was staring at Ye Sanqi as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
It wasn't until the bell outside rang that the warden said, "Mr. Ye, you've been sitting here for an hour. If you have anything to say, just say it."
Ye Sanqi put down the tea cup and said: "Jiang Leyou, Xing Gucheng Ancient Bell Sanling, don't you feel nothing?"
The warden forced a smile and said: "Mr. Ye, you are really good at joking, how can I be Jiang Leyou?"
Ye Sanqi looked at the other party and said: "The secret of Xinggu City is in the prison. If you don't personally guard the prison, can you rest assured?"
The warden's face instantly darkened: "Ye Sanqi, I have been guarding this secret for more than ten years, and you just want to take it away. Isn't it too arrogant?"
Ye Sanqi looked at the other party with a half-smile, "I'm sorry, I really don't take you seriously. If it weren't for training my disciples, you would have been dead for a long time."
Jiang Leyou jumped up, stared at Ye Sanqi and roared: "Ye Sanqi, I have never seen such an arrogant person like you. If you can walk out of Xingugu City, I will take your surname."
Ye Sanqi said: "I will give you five minutes to run out. After five minutes, I will chase you. You'd better run out of Xinggu City."
Jiang Leyou was so furious that he scratched several marks on the table with his hands, but he did not dare to fall out with Ye Sanqi rashly.
Ye Sanqi looked up at the clock in the office: "You still have four minutes."
Jiang Leyou glared at Ye Sanqi fiercely, turned around and slammed the door. The moment the office door closed, there was a sound of locking outside the door.
Not long after, Jiang Leyou's voice came from the yard: "Ye Sanqi, do you really think that I only have clothes that can kill people? Every piece of cloth and every thread that passes through my hands can kill people. See for yourself Look at how many pieces of cloth there are in the house!”
As soon as Jiang Leyou's voice fell, any place with cloth in the office looked like waves on the water blown by the wind. Soon, the outline of a human face appeared under the cloth, especially the bulging figure on the curtain. , like an evil ghost walking into the room through the glass, approaching step by step, gradually revealing its ghastly and terrifying form.
Ye Sanqi, however, didn't seem to know that ghosts were appearing behind him. He was still sitting on the chair, tapping the armrest of the chair with his fingers, waiting for the time he and Jiang Leyou had agreed on.
The hands of the clock were still turning slowly, the human figures in the room became clearer and clearer, and the ghostly hand stretched out from behind the curtains was also inch closer to Ye Sanqi's back.
