The prison robbery was actually not simple, mainly because the battle between Ximen Chuixue and the demons was so loud that the capital became full of soldiers.
Every day, you can see a large number of government officials questioning passers-by on the streets, and even the procedures for entering and leaving the inner city have become cumbersome.
Qin Bai felt that this was a manifestation of Emperor Zhao Ji's own insecurity, especially since two masters, Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng, had disappeared one after another, and the Capital Daolu Academy could no longer be reused.
Under such influence, it is obvious that there is a feeling of anxiety permeating the capital.
If the prison was forcibly robbed, it would probably cause too much noise, which would further cause chaos in the government.
Just like a butterfly flapping its wings, many inadvertent actions may cause unexpected changes in the situation.
So he planned to make similar fake bodies to replace the Li family and his son in prison, as long as no flaws could be seen in a short time.
After Qin Bai was ready, he sneaked into the prison deep in the capital's Yamen overnight.
What is completely different from Gusu City is that the prisons in the capital are huge. In addition to ordinary prisoners, there are also children of high-ranking officials, and there were even relatives of the emperor.
From the outside, this prison looks like a more heavily guarded house.
But this is not the case. The prison extends underground. According to Lu Xiaofeng's information, it has four floors.
Qin Bai didn't need to use any means. With the help of Changsheng Taoist, he easily found a government servant's outfit and changed into it.
There are hundreds of yamen servants performing their respective duties in the capital yamen. Even if he looks strange, it is not easy to detect him. Moreover, he has a superficial Buddhist aura that affects his mind.
And he is not afraid of the puppets of the faceless demon mixed with them. From the experience of two contacts, unless the demon appears, the influence will not be enough to control a large number of people.
So Qin Bai took advantage of the changing of the guard and walked in swaggeringly.
The first floor on the ground houses some petty theft prisoners. Most of them are not guilty of serious crimes and will be released after a while.
However, the prisoners were still tortured severely, and they could faintly hear howls, but they did not dare to make too much noise for fear of offending the ruthless government officials.
When Qin Bai walked into the prison, the prisoners saw his tall body through the dim light, and they immediately did not dare to make a sound, and the inside fell into a deathly silence.
"It's a bit unfamiliar. Which headcatcher are you from?"
The fat catcher, who weighed more than 200 kilograms, strode towards Qin Bai. He was out of breath after not moving a few times. The government servants beside him quickly supported him.
Qin Bai didn't say much nonsense. He stretched out his hand towards the Niwan Palace between the eyebrows of several people, and then walked past them towards the ground.
This method was also learned from the Dharma Seal. The Buddha's energy originally originated from the soul and was extremely confusing to mortals. However, it was difficult to tamper with the memory given his cultivation level.
The rotten smell in the air on the underground floor became even stronger, mixed with the smell of blood, and the prisoners could be heard moaning in pain uncontrollably.
There were not many government officials, only three or two, and most of them were executing executions.
Think about it, after all, the prison is underground, and it is impossible for any prisoner to escape, so the outermost part can be strictly guarded.
This level already involves lynching, in which prisoners with more serious crimes are ignored even if they die as a result.
Qin Bai rummaged through the fish bag and found a gas mask he had obtained from fishing before and put it on. However, because it was a crude version from the Middle Ages, it was somewhat similar to a bird's head and looked extremely scary.
A few prisoners lying on the iron railing couldn't help but complain. They were well-known villains in the world, and they had robbed houses and lost a lot of money.
It's just that because he didn't kill many people, he was imprisoned on the underground floor. When his guilt was clear, he would be sent to the border to join the army, so he was not lynched.
The strong man spat on the ground: "It's okay if this place doesn't have any shit. It doesn't even have windows. If this continues, I'm going to go blind."
"Speak softly and don't offend the official."
Another skinny prisoner reminded him, but the strong man groaned but stopped talking.
Although he is about to be assigned to the border army and will receive some preferential treatment in prison, it is not a free ticket. If he is unlucky, he will lose half his life in one whipping.
At this moment, footsteps sounded, and the two of them immediately shut up and stopped talking.
The strong man originally had Ming Jin's cultivation, but after he was imprisoned, he was given a special potion that destroyed his cultivation.
However, he still vaguely sensed that something was wrong. The momentum of the visitor was far beyond that of ordinary people, and it was not at all comparable to those low-handed government servants.
The strong man couldn't help but look outside through the dim candlelight in the corridor. A tall figure was walking in his direction.
What shocked him the most was that the figure's face turned out to be like a bird's head, and the shape of a bird's beak could clearly be seen.
The strong man's first reaction was that someone from the underworld was coming. According to rumors, there was a soul-stirring bull-headed horse face, and maybe there were also bird heads among them.
He suddenly became frightened and did not dare to say anything, but the footsteps became heavier and heavier.
Qin Bai quickly walked around and found only Li Maochun, which made him feel strange.
The other party had already passed out, and many whip marks could be seen on his naked body.
But there was no trace of Li Lingfa. Prisoners convicted of capital crimes should not be imprisoned in the first two floors, so how could they be in the depths.
Qin Bai first put Li Maochun into the aquarium. This scene made the strong man who happened to see it even more frightened.
If you take it out directly, it will easily attract the attention of others, so be careful to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Then he put the prepared fake body back into the cell. The fake body was not much different from the real person, except that his eyes were dull, as if he had lost his soul.
Qin Bai looked around and saw the shivering prisoner in the distance. From his position, he should be able to see any prisoner coming in or out, so he planned to ask.
When the strong man saw Qin Bai coming to him, he couldn't help but fainted.
Qin Bai used Buddha's light to wake him up. As a result, the strong man fainted again as soon as he opened his eyes. After repeating this several times, the man stopped jumping sideways repeatedly.
"A great...man, but...are you here to ask for your life?"
Qin Bai ignored his question and said directly: "Did any prisoners be brought to the lower level yesterday?"
"It's...like...not like, there are some."
When the strong man heard that he was not here, he thought it was an opportunity to show off: "I heard those government officials said that they seemed to be imprisoned at the lowest level, and there were demons inside..."
"demon?"
Qin Bai raised his eyebrows. Although there was indeed Yin Qi in this prison, he did not feel the presence of demonic aura.
"Did you hear this from the Yamen servant?"
"Anyone with a discerning eye will know immediately. I have seen many prisoners being escorted down, but no one has ever come up, and..."
The strong man swallowed, lowered his voice and said: "Whether it's water or dry food, I haven't seen the government officials take it down, and I haven't seen the body. No matter what, it must be related to the demon."
Qin Bai nodded. Could this prison be closely related to the faceless demon? With its ability to create puppets, it would not be difficult to do so.
In order to clear up the doubts in his heart, Qin Bai quickly walked downstairs. The strong man looked at his back and his legs became weak with fear.
On the third floor, the lights became darker and darker, and it was so humid that you could clearly feel the water on the ground. The smell in the air could still be smelled even with a gas mask.
There are not many prisoners here anymore, less than a dozen in any case, and most of them have no hope of seeing the light of day again.
So even if there were a few more footsteps due to Qin Bai, they still didn't react at all.
Qin Bai glanced at the lifeless environment and continued heading downstairs.
As soon as he stepped onto the stairs, he could clearly feel the smell of blood in the air, which was so strong that it was almost choking.
At least there was a weak light on the upper level, but it was completely invisible here. In the deep darkness, there seemed to be man-eating beasts.
Qin Bai squinted his eyes, feeling a faint yin energy.
If you stay on the bottom floor of the prison for a long time, your mind may become crazy, and when the corpse is corroded by the Yin Qi, demons will indeed be born.
Qin Bai took out the flashlight. When the light shone on the bottom floor of the prison, there was a lot of movement in the darkness.
"Li Lingfa?"
He tried to call out, but only heard a faint cry for help not far away.
Qin Bai hurried over and found that there were no prisoners in most of the cells along the way, but there were a lot of corpses piled inside.
Under such circumstances, not many Inferi were raised, which made him doubtful.
The cell where Li Lingfa was imprisoned was not far away. Master Xing seemed to be fine and even drew strange mechanical drawings on the ground in his spare time.
Qin Bai took off the gas mask. Li Lingfa breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.
"Are you mistaken? Your lamp is also portable..." Li Lingfa couldn't help but say.
"Let's talk after we get out."
Qin Bai didn't hesitate for a moment. He opened the cell door first, and then knocked Li Lingfa unconscious with a knife.
Then he opened his mouth and exhaled a breath of fresh air, rolled it up and swallowed it into his belly, and then threw the fake body into the cell.
The unconscious Li family and his son were suspended on the water. The dragon fish seemed to be interested and swam over very fast.
The dragon fish simply ignored Li Maochun and kept moving around Li Lingfa, as if it was about to devour him.
Under such circumstances, Li Lingfa woke up inexplicably.
After this period of expansion, the aquarium has grown to the size of more than a dozen football fields. It is divided into various areas and planted with different aquatic plants.
Li Lingfa's expression seemed a little dazed. Just now, he was in an abyss-like prison, but when he opened his eyes, he turned into a vast ocean.
Just when he was about to try to swim, he suddenly felt a shadow flash across the water. At the greeting of the dragon fish's tail, he fell into coma again.
Qin Bai ignored the strange things in the aquarium and focused on the prison on the bottom floor.
This is obviously related to the faceless demon, and it can also be seen that the demon's ability is not as terrifying as imagined.
It seems that as a puppet resident, the faceless demon can only control behavior in a subtle way.
Therefore, Qin Bai was very curious about the meaning of the existence of the underlying prison and what was being imprisoned in it.
He searched around by the light of the flashlight. Except for Li Lingfa, there was only one cell with prisoners.
Inside was an old man wearing monk's robes with disheveled hair. He was dying and about to die.
Qin Bai walked towards the old monk and could vaguely hear the other man's voice reciting scriptures.
But he used his spiritual mind to carefully examine the old monk, and found many things that were different from ordinary people. First of all, the old monk seemed to have not eaten food for a long time.
Although his body was on the verge of death, it still stubbornly retained a glimmer of life. I'm afraid it had been in this state for a long time.
Even though his consciousness was dim, the old monk was still reciting scriptures, which actually wiped away all the resentment in the prison, and no demons were born.
When Qin Bai got close, he simply used his spiritual thoughts to directly act on the opponent's body.
If you don't know it, the old monk's soul has dissipated and only three souls are left, and they are extremely weak.
The opponent's Niwan Palace seems to have traces of practice, but the Buddhist skills are closely related to the soul, so he became a mortal.
Qin Baigang wanted to put the old monk into the aquarium, but the old monk began to struggle crazily, and the vitality in his body was gradually disappearing.
However, after he released some Buddhist energy, the old monk suddenly stopped moving, but the slight breathing in his chest could still tell that he was not dead.
Being able to survive in such a state without completely ceasing to live shows how terrifying the old monk's original cultivation level was. Qin Bai guessed that he had at least achieved Arahantship.
The prisons on the bottom floor were all inhabited by monks, who seemed to have cultivated themselves before, but mortals like Li Lingfa seemed a bit out of place among them.
Qin Bai swallowed the old monk into the aquarium. The unsuppressed Yin Qi immediately began to riot, and the body showed signs of demonization.
And because there is a lot of water at the bottom, the demonized corpses are gradually moving towards the water ghosts. Their hair grows longer at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the bones of their bodies are also broken.
Within a moment, dozens of corpses turned into water ghosts. After feeling Qin Bai's aura, they swam to the corner and did not dare to approach.
Seeing this, Qin Bai suddenly thought, although the water ghost does look a bit scary, it is indeed an aquatic demon.
It should be fine to keep in an aquarium, just enough to enrich the species.
He opened his mouth and swallowed dozens of water ghosts into his belly. Fortunately, no one else saw this scene in the underworld, otherwise his title of Demonic Monk would have been lost.
Then Qin Bai chose to return the same way. There were still many things to do next, and the faceless demon might take action at any time.
A strange thing happened. After he stepped out of the prison on the bottom floor, the old monk's fingers suddenly trembled slightly in the aquarium.
Moreover, the water at the bottom of the prison began to boil, and the bodies gradually fell apart and merged into the water.
In just a few moments, the accumulated water had turned deep red, and the smell of blood became even stronger.
The water was obviously no more than knee-level, but a huge face emerged from the water. Its eyes were moving as if it was looking around.
It took a long time for the face to return to the water, and the trace was lost.
