Chapter 2631 Towering Ancient Tree
Now things are in trouble.
Qin Cheng frowned slightly.
The house has become a prison. How can I get in and find the orb hidden by Bai Zhanqi?
He had expected that this trip might not go smoothly, but he did not expect to encounter such a change.
"I remember that this wasn't a prison before," Qin Cheng said.
"But senior, it seems that it has always been here since I can remember."
Li Li was also stunned and didn't understand why Qin Cheng asked this.
"Oh, I remembered. I really wanted to hear what Deacon Zhang said when he was drunk. More than five thousand years ago, there was a robbery in the ancient city prison. The incident was so big that the city lord took action."
"Although all those people were wiped out in the end, the ancient city prison was destroyed. Senior is right, they did move here later."
"Li Li, how many years have you been practicing?" Qin Cheng said with a strange expression.
"Senior, it's been more than a thousand years." Li Li said honestly.
Qin Cheng shook his head, no wonder. What happened to Bai Zhanqi happened 20,000 to 30,000 years ago. How could Li Li know the changes in the ancient city.
Not to mention Li Li, even the oldest guide in this ancient city may not know what happened tens of thousands of years ago.
However, according to the memory of the three demons, this should be the house that Bai Zhanqi bought under a pseudonym.
Could it be that the Bai family discovered this place when they were following up on Bai Zhanqi's clues, and what happened next?
If this is the case, are the treasures left by Bai Zhanqi still there?
"Then have you ever entered this prison?" Qin Cheng asked.
"Don't talk about seniors, I have actually been in there." Li Li saw that Qin Cheng seemed to be very interested in this place, and he nodded knowingly.
"If you want to talk about other people, they may not have been here, but I served a senior who came into the city to rescue a junior brother who had committed a crime and was caught in prison. It was me who led the way, and I was lucky enough to enter one of them."
"Is there a towering ancient tree in this prison?" Qin Cheng's eyes moved slightly.
"Yes, senior really knows about the ancient city back then." Li Li nodded immediately.
"The most eye-catching thing in this prison is the big tree. I heard it almost turned into a tree spirit. It is really a tree I have never seen before."
"When was the last time you entered this place?"
"It must have been more than fifty years ago."
When Qin Cheng heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The place where Bai Zhanqi hid the orb is quite hidden. If the ancient tree is there, then the orb must not have been taken away by others.
After all, the ancient city does not allow spiritual exploration.
It doesn't work for other monks, and it does the same for various buildings.
Here, no matter what level of cultivation the monks have, they live like mortals. Although it restricts the search in Qincheng, it is also good for hiding items.
"Okay, you don't have to follow me anymore. These few purple gold spiritual coins are fine with you. My affairs must not be told to outsiders."
Qin Cheng took out a few purple gold spirit coins and threw them to Li Li, who was filled with joy.
"Thank you, senior. Don't worry. I've always been very tight-lipped." Li Li's face was filled with joy. He had been working as a guide for a day, but he only had five spirit coins after being busy.
Even when encountering monks who like to take advantage of small things, they will find excuses to take advantage of them. This is also among the rules of the ancient city.
But Qin Cheng gave six or seven purple gold spirit coins at once, and it took less than an hour to get them all. It was a huge profit.
You know, except for the fixed spiritual coins handed over to the ancient city, the rest is yours.
"Of course, I know that the seniors may be worried. It's okay. The ancient city has long expected this situation. I can make a written oath and be supervised by the ancient city. If I violate it in the future, I will be severely punished."
Li Li said, taking out a piece of paper that could be imprinted with the soul, and then pulled out a thin thread of his own soul and put it into it.
Then, the paper burned and was instantly sucked into the ground.
Qin Cheng looked on and felt quite magical.
After Li Li left, Qin Cheng stood there, looking at Baiwu Prison with a thoughtful look on his face.
Finally, he walked towards the prison.
Since the treasure is in this prison, I must go there and take a look.
As for the method, let’s try it first before talking about it.
"He who comes, stop there."
Walking in front of Bai Wu, a majestic voice sounded.
Then a tall man wearing light blue clothes and over three meters tall slowly walked out of the mist.
The man's eyes are like copper bells, his shoulders are broad and his body is broad, standing like a mountain. His face is covered with scars, and from the aura on his body, it is obvious that he has achieved the level of transcending tribulation.
"What's the matter?" The man looked down at Qin Cheng, his voice like thunder.
"Fellow Taoist, I have a friend who made some mistakes and was imprisoned here. I want to redeem him with spiritual coins." Qin Cheng said with a smile.
"Do you understand the rules?" the man frowned.
"Those who are imprisoned are those who have made serious mistakes or have no money to pay for their punishment. Once they enter this place, they can only be redeemed with spiritual coins if they have served more than half of their sentence."
"There are still such rules."
Qin Cheng raised his eyebrows, but nodded as if nothing had happened.
"Okay, tell me his name." The man said.
Qin Cheng suddenly smiled, as if he was a little embarrassed.
"Fellow Taoist, that's it. I really don't know what my friend's name is. Because we haven't known each other for a long time, I usually call him the white-bearded old devil."
"Old devil with white beard?" The man frowned and said, "You only have a name, I can't find it for you."
"Then I think otherwise, you take me in and I can find him by taking a few glances across the cell," Qin Cheng said.
"That's not okay. You can't tell the other person's name. I know what your purpose is? So it's impossible to let you in. Fellow Taoist, please go back."
The man sneered, turned around and walked back.
"Fellow Taoist, please don't leave. My friend has understood the origin of wood and likes to stay under trees. I heard that there are towering trees in the prison. He might stay there. Just let me go and take a look."
"You mean the ancient tree near the river? Don't even think about it. Even if we let you in, we won't let you get near the ancient tree."
An attendant following the man heard this and couldn't help but mock.
"Fellow Taoist, if I want to find this friend of mine but don't know his name, what other methods are there?" Qin Cheng saw that several people were about to disappear, so he pretended to be panicked and shouted.
"It's simple. When you are taken into prison, everyone can see it. Then you can just look for it by the ancient tree." The attendant teased.
This sentence caused a burst of laughter from several people around him, and all of them disappeared into the white mist again.
Qin Cheng stood outside the white mist, his expression gradually returned to calm, and his expression flickered a few times.
Although the matter was not completed, the other party's words also gave me a lot of useful information.
"If you want to enter the prison and get close to the ancient tree near the river, is the only way to be arrested and become a prisoner?"
Qin Cheng turned his head and thought secretly as he walked.
