Xu proverbs stands in a clean and other courtyard of the Xu family.

This yard is the yard where Xu Tianwang, his father and supervisor of the criminal division, talked with him a few months ago.

There is a tall pomegranate tree that has been growing for many years in the yard.

At that time, the pomegranate fruit on this pomegranate tree was not mature, but now the pomegranate fruit on this pomegranate tree has been mature, no one picked and some of the black and dry hanging on the branches.

Xu Zhenyan looks at this pomegranate tree for a long time. At that time, Xu Tianwang eats an immature bitter pomegranate in front of him, and then drives him to biluoling mercilessly. After he is stabbed by the subordinates of Cang Yue, many nightmares, he dreams that the immature pomegranate juice, like the brain marrow, drips from Xu Tianwang's mouth.

At that time, he only felt fear, but at this time, looking at the pomegranate tree, his eyes concealed some imperceptible coldness. In his heart, some things were thought more clearly.

The footsteps passed through the outer court and approached the courtyard. With some cool wind, Xu Tianwang, dressed in the long gray brown cloak of senior officials of the Department of criminal justice, crossed the high threshold again, walked into the courtyard and appeared in front of Xu proverb again.

Without any hesitation, Xu proverb bowed deeply to his father, who was gentle in appearance, but with strong authority, and respected him: "father."

Xu Tianwang looked at Xu's maxim of saluting himself without any warmth and Indifference: "why, do you forget what I said? I remember I told you that if you didn't reach the cultivation of a high-level great soul master, you won't appear in front of me again."

Xu proverb lowered his head a little bit and said with more respect, "of course, I can't forget my father's lesson."

"You have nothing to build in the peace and order of the blue falling mausoleum. On the contrary, Lin Xi, the enemy in your eyes, although he failed to protect the crown prince and caused the wrath of the Holy One, was saved after all. His name has already sounded in the hall of Jinluan. And everyone knows that he killed Qin Qinghuang, and that his commander's men and army were the least injured. Compared with him, you are still a waste. " Xu Tianwang looked at Xu Zhenyan and sneered: "at this moment, the military of biluoling is cleaning up. Next, it may be a good time to officially set up biluoling province and stay in biluoling. Although you have made progress in your cultivation, you are far away from my requirements. I would like to hear the reason why you dare to leave biluoling and come back to Zhongzhou city to see me. "

"Of course I understand that what my father needs is not my little accomplishments."

Xu Zhenyan still bowed down and said: "it's because the difference between him and wenxuanyu is too big. Even if I stay in biluoling, I still can't catch up with him. My help to my father is still small. So I came to see my father and wanted him to help me I want to ask my father to let me go to the ghost prison. "

Xu Tianwang looks thoughtful, and looks at Xu's proverb lightly. "Dare you go to the ghost prison?"

Xu proverbs saluted again, saying, "if you dare not, you dare not come back to see your father."

Xu Tianwang's face is still on, but his tone is more gentle: "it seems that you have learned something this time when you go to biluoling."

There is no change in Xu's expression, but he is still waiting with his head lowered.

"Good." Xu Tianwang looked at him, looked at him respectfully and calmly, and nodded slowly, "I will arrange it."

Xu proverbs show some sincere smile, "thank you father."

Xu Tianwang didn't say anything more, just looked at him once more, then took his hand and walked out of the yard.

Xu Zhenyan looks at the figure that gives him great psychological pressure. Strange excited scarlet appears on his pale, waxy face, and all the sweats in his hands are excited, nervous and oozing.

Ghost prison is one of the deepest and darkest dungeons in the dungeon of the city of the emperor of the Qin Dynasty. There are many strong willed practitioners, or many major secret criminals. In order to break up the will of these criminals, not only do they use punishment day and night, but also they don't give some criminals time to rest, and some of the torture is beyond the imagination of people outside.

So the ghost prison in the deepest part of the prison is like crying day and night. Even experienced prison guards can't stand it. To be in charge of this kind of place is as unbearable to ordinary people as if they are constantly tortured.

Even if a real sadist stays in a ghost prison for a long time, he is very easy to become a madman. In the end, he is inexplicably self mutilated. It is not one or two things to kill himself in the most cruel way. So the general officials of the Department of criminal justice mentioned that they were all aware of the changes, not to mention taking the initiative to take charge of the ghost prison.

However, this step is of great significance to Xu proverbs.

Most of the prisoners in the ghost prison are powerful practitioners. From them, it is possible to extort some useful practices and secrets. The most important thing is that ghost prison has always been a place of great concern to the Jiang family. As long as we do well here, we will naturally become the confidant of the Jiang family behind the curtain.

In such a place, whether it's cultivation or position in the Imperial Hall, it should be much faster than he who is not good at Changzhi army staying in biluoling.

"Lin Xi, I heard that you are badly hurt Even if the injury is not serious, the death of the prince and the thunder and anger of the Holy One are destined to make you disappear for a long time in the Yunqin Dynasty hall. In this period of time, you can only watch me catch up. "

"Father, since I am going the same way, I may not be able to go better than you."

In this late autumn, after Xu Tianwang's back disappeared, Xu proverb looked at the pomegranate tree in front of him with satisfaction and said coldly.

He picked a dried pomegranate with black ash on the outside and peeled it off. The pomegranate seeds inside were also a little shriveled, but they were surprisingly bright red. He chewed a handful of pomegranate seeds indifferently, and the juice at the corners of his mouth was as red as blood.

……

Zhang Ping is sitting in a small classroom in the Department of natural engineering of qingluan University while Xu proverbs are chewing his opponent's flesh and blood and the bright red pomegranate seeds.

In front of him were several drawings with runes drawn and several ordinary steelworks with the same runes engraved.

Because only a few students come back to qingluan college in the meaning of the college, qingluan college, which was originally quiet and lonely, is now even more cool.

At this time, Zhang Ping looks at the drawings and steel pieces in front of him, but what he thinks is not the rune that attracts him most, but Qin Xiyue's almost flawless face.

What is she doing now?

It's just such a simple thought, like the tide in his mind, which is hard to contain.

There was a man who made some noise on purpose and entered the classroom where Zhang Ping was the only one.

Looking back Huo Ran, Zhang Ping saw the old man in a grey robe with a very old face but a very kind one armed black robe. He was stunned first, then shocked, then frightened, pushed away the wooden case in front of him, and saluted at a loss: "Vice President Xia."

"No need to be polite."

Even with the answer from vice president Xia, Zhang Ping's mind is still full of untrue feelings.

People like vice president Xia How could he have come to him alone?

"You all did a good job."

Vice President Xia's warm eyes seemed to penetrate his mind. He smiled and said, "I come to you because you are doing better than I thought. I want to ask for your opinions on something."

Zhang Ping's heart was shaking violently. Facing the old man, he just felt like facing a sun, bathed in each other's dazzling light. He tried to bear the tremor in his heart and said, "what's the matter, vice president Xia?"

"You may also have known that during the previous dragon and snake border war, there was a saint of purgatory mountain."

Vice President Xia said gently and slowly: "the armor and a soul soldier on the saint's body are of great value, and they are also of great significance to some researches of qingluan College Now there are some big changes in the thousand devil grottoes and the purgatory mountain. We have the opportunity to arrange people to enter the big Mang and the purgatory mountain. In short, we think you are a good candidate for this potential job, but you also know that it is more dangerous than going to biluoling, so we want to ask for your opinion first. "

Zhang Ping's body could not help being cold. He went to Da mang to hide and tried to enter the mountain to get some secrets. It was very difficult and dangerous. However, at this time, what appeared in his mind was still Qin Xiyue's face.

"Why me?" His hair was soon moistened by his own sweat. He raised his head, looked at vice president Xia, and asked in a trembling voice.

"Because your talent is not very good, and it is not easy to arouse suspicion But you have a very steady disposition and are well suited to do it. " Vice President Xia looked at Zhang Ping and said, "and you are very interested in runes. In my opinion, what determines future achievements is not talent, but other things. I think you will have great achievements like Li Kaiyun."

"Vice President Xia, do you really think I will make great achievements in the future?" Zhang Ping looked at vice president Xia in a trance and asked.

Vice President Xia nodded.

Zhang Ping thought of Gu Xinyin and Lin Xi Thought of the powerful and mysterious purgatory mountain, thought of Qin Xiyue He looked down at his hands.

His hands are as common as his people.

He thought to himself that without Lin Xi's reminders in the qingluan test by Lingxia lake, he would not have been able to enter qingluan college, let alone his beloved Department of astrology.

There was no silence for a long time, Zhang Ping raised his head, looked at the vice president Xia who was going to give him more time to think about it, and said: "Vice President Xia, I would like to, I will try my best to complete the task assigned to me by the college."
