Wen Xi snorted lightly, and the talisman in his hand flew mercilessly onto her arm.
White smoke rose up and flames with golden light burned. The female ghost rolled on the ground in pain, but she couldn't roll away the burning flames.
"Speak, I'll speak! Please let me go!"
The female ghost screamed and begged miserably.
Wen Xi looked at her coldly, and with a wave of his hand, the flames on the ghost girl's arm disappeared.
"Hurry up and tell me. I don't have much patience. If you lie again, I will make you disappear right here."
The ghost girl nodded hurriedly. "My master is in the main house in the inner courtyard. That's where he usually rests, but it's hard to find. He will only open the door if he wants to see you."
"Door? Where is the door?"
"I really don't know about this."
The female ghost was about to cry.
“Where did those who broke into the old house go?”
"These...some are dead, some have gone mad, and some have been imprisoned in dungeons."
"Dungeon?"
Wen Xi and Ling Feng exchanged a glance, and the latter asked, "Is the dungeon in the ancient well?"
"Yes, it's inside."
Wen Xi nodded slightly, "Just lock them up? What are you going to do with them?"
"this…"
"Are you going to keep their souls and refine them into evil spirits?"
"I don't know. You'd better ask the prison warden."
"Okay!"
Wen Xi didn't make things difficult for her. She turned around and planned to explore the ancient well. The moment she was about to jump into the well, she turned back to look at the female ghost and asked, "What about your Madam Pang? Where is she? Is she also in the main house?"
The ghost girl's face changed drastically, and she shook her head with trembling lips and said, "The lady has disappeared for a long time. In this Pang Mansion, she is a taboo. You can't mention her casually, otherwise you will be punished."
His eyes changed slightly, Wen Xi chuckled, and followed Ma Yingbei and Ling Feng into the ancient well.
The road was still pitch black. Ma Yingbei calmly took out a candle and lit it. Under the light of the fire, he could see that the passage was very simple, as if it had been artificially carved out not long ago.
"Where exactly is this dungeon? Isn't there just one passage?"
Ma Yingbei was a little impatient and couldn't wait to go to the dungeon to find his third uncle.
"Then look for it again!"
"There's another yard ahead."
Facing the light, Ma Yingbei saw a familiar courtyard and felt quite annoyed.
"It's like a ghost town, with passages, ancient wells and courtyards running back and forth."
"Ghost Wall?"
Wen Xi murmured to himself as he raised his hand and touched the wall of the passage.
The soil on the wall is loose and soft, and very fragile.
Wen Xi chuckled, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he kicked directly at a mud wall.
Bang!
The sound of collapse!
When Ma Yingbei turned around, he saw a big hole in the mud wall, and a road appeared out of nowhere.
“Awesome!”
Ma Yingbei was amazed.
“There were no roads on the ground originally, but as more people walked on them, roads naturally formed.”
Wen Xi said with a smile and walked through the passage first.
Unlike the passage to the ancient well just now, the air here seemed to be stagnant, and it was filled with a rotten stench and fishy smell.
"Ahem, why does it stink so bad?"
Ma Yingbei coughed twice uncomfortably and walked in holding a candle. In the light of the candle, he could see that there were rooms built on both sides of the passage, all blocked by iron railings.
Ling Feng said softly, "This is the dungeon."
Clack, clack!
Suddenly, heavy footsteps were heard at the end of the passage, and there was also the sound of something being dragged on the ground, as if the feet were tied with chains.
Puff!
Ling Feng extinguished the candle and said seriously, "Be careful, I smell the scent of a ghost."
"Go forward, or he will come over anyway if you don't move forward."
Wen Xi spoke in a calm tone, walking forward without looking around.
"Someone? Someone is coming! Help me, help me!"
"I haven't smelled a human scent for a long time. I'm so hungry, so hungry!"
"Give me some, human flesh smells so good! Come to me quickly!"
“…”
As they walked through the rooms, pale hands emerged from the iron bars, their sharp nails almost scratching them.
"This dungeon holds not only humans, but also ghosts!"
Wen Xi frowned and said, "Has this turned into an earthbound spirit?"
Ling Feng's eyes flashed with coldness. "These must be the tourists and Taoist priests who entered the Pang residence in the past and were left behind. Those who escaped went crazy, and those who didn't escape or disappeared became the earthbound spirits here! What do they want to do by creating so many earthbound spirits?"
"Who is it? Who dares to trespass into my jurisdiction? Are you looking for death?"
The temperature nearby suddenly dropped to a point where ice could form anywhere and at any time.
Following this cold voice, the hands in the cell retracted, obviously afraid of him.
"Ma Yingbei, light the candles!"
Wen Xi instructed calmly.
"good!"
Ma Yingbei relit the candle and saw at the end a man in jailer's uniform. He was disheveled and his face was pale, almost transparent, covered with scratches and bloodstains that had scabbed over. His cloudy eyes were filled with murderous intent and coldness.
"He has shackles on his feet. Is he a prisoner or the prison boss as the ghost girl mentioned?"
"It's the jailer, an SSS-level ghost who was forced to stay behind to guard the dungeon!"
Wen Xi knew the other person's identity at a glance.
"Even a gatekeeper is an SSS-level evil spirit? Is it really that awesome?"
"Hehehe! Are you trying to break into the prison? If you want to take people away from here, you have to get through me."
The jailer laughed strangely, stretched out his hand, and a huge axe appeared in his hand.
"Little ants, stay here and become earthbound spirits. There's still a cell that no ghost has moved into yet."
There was a glint of excitement in the jailer's eyes. He gripped the axe tightly and chopped it down at them in mid-air.
"Tsk, are you going to summon a big one so soon?"
Wen Xi sighed softly, "Liang Yuhui, come out. This jailer has a lot of blood on his hands. Don't kill him completely yet. Keep him for interrogation."
Black mist drifted out of the ancient copper coin. Liang Yuhui had an elegant smile on her lips. "Don't worry, Miss Wen. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
In a flash, black fog blocked their way. Liang Yuhui caught the murderous axe with one hand. Her relaxed look made the jailer's face change slightly, and he squinted his eyes and looked at her.
"Ghost?"
"Little ant, let me teach you what politeness and manners are."
Liang Yuhui smiled gently, and the next second, she crushed the huge axe in the jailer's hand out of thin air. The broken axe turned into a sharp blade and pierced into the jailer's body.
"Uhhhhhhh!"
The prison boss screamed in pain, but Liang Yuhui sealed his mouth with a blood mist. She stretched out her finger and pressed it against her lips. "Shh! It's too loud, it will disturb others."
