Chapter 1017 Mysterious Prison
"That's right. What's your problem?"
Wu Taoist looked at Zhaoyan and the disciples at the Dan Formation stage with an indifferent expression, but did not explain much.
"But Xuan Prison is an important place of our mission and has always been guarded by the senior brothers of Xuantian Department. I'm afraid it won't be right if I wait to go, right?" Zhaoyan's eyes flickered, with a look of hesitation on his face, as if he was telling Wu Dao what he said. The so-called "mysterious prison" is kept secret.
Ye Chunyang frowned secretly, and became a little curious about this "mysterious prison". It seemed that Yan Chen's information did not mention this, and he didn't know if it was related to the ban on Luo Qingcheng?
"The Xuan Prison has always been guarded by the Xuantian Department, but now that all the factions have gathered at the foot of the mountain, and the sect has mobilized manpower, the position of the guard of the Xuan Prison is vacant. You can go and take over for a while, and we will make a decision after the matter here is over. "The Wu Taoist said calmly.
"this……"
Zhaoyan was embarrassed.
"Why, are there any other questions?" Wu Daoren didn't frown, and his expression was a little colder. "The duty of guarding Xuan Prison is an important task assigned by me. There is no need for you to go there. It's just because of the extraordinary period at present. If you go to guard you, your basic monthly salary will be doubled, which is something no one else can even dream of doing. "
Zhaoyan lowered his head as if he wanted to say something else, but when he saw Wu Taoist's gloomy face, he immediately fell silent and hurriedly saluted, "Yes, we obey your order."
The Wu Taoist nodded and waved his hand indifferently.
The group of people decided to retreat.
After leaving the main hall, Ye Chunyang glanced at Zhaoyan with his peripheral vision, his eyes flashed a few times and then he showed a look of joy, and said to himself: "I didn't expect that Uncle Wu actually arranged a good errand for us this time. Just It’s really wonderful that you can get twice as many spiritual stones as a guard.”
"What a good job? Junior Brother Chen Qi is very naive!"
Before he could finish his words, Zhaoyan looked over sideways and sneered coldly.
"Why, it seems that senior brother is slightly opposed to this job. Is there something special about this mysterious prison?" Ye Chunyang said pretending to be surprised.
Seeing this, other people also looked at Zhaoyan with puzzled faces, as if they were also puzzled by this.
Zhaoyan paused, looked at everyone and then looked away, hesitating for a long time and then said: "It seems that you all don't know where this mysterious prison is yet, it doesn't matter, I, as a senior brother, will tell you, this time This place has always been a place where our sect detains serious criminals. In addition to some disciples who have violated the sect's rules, there are also foreign monks who have been enemies of our sect. Most of these people have deep grudges against our sect. They are all lunatics with eccentric temperaments. Do you still think it’s a good job to be on guard duty with these people?”
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.
One of them twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "We once heard Master say that our sect does have a place where serious criminals are detained. Unexpectedly, it was this Xuan Prison. This place has always been guarded by senior brothers from the Xuantian Department. Now If we are sent there suddenly, I'm afraid the consequences will be bad..."
"Hmph, now you know why I am unwilling to accept the task of guarding the Xuan Prison?" Zhaoyan's face was gloomy, as if he had eaten a fly.
Everyone looked extremely ugly.
The person who spoke earlier smacked his lips and said, "But Uncle Wu is worth less than ten thousand people. Except for the great elder who is in seclusion, even our master has to obey his orders. Since he asked us How can we violate it if we go to guard Xuan Prison?”
"That's all it can do now. I hope that the people who come here to take over the Xuantian Department will guard the Xuan Prison and there won't be any trouble."
Zhaoyan's face was full of bitterness, he shook his head and sighed before silently walking forward.
The others were equally dejected, but had to go along.
"A place where felons are imprisoned?"
Ye Chunyang's eyes flashed. If it was true as Zhaoyan said, Luo Qingcheng would most likely be imprisoned here. Being assigned to be guarded here would be an excellent opportunity for him to investigate.
With a calm expression on his face, he followed Zhaoyan and others slowly in the clouds.
Looking down from the air, Ye Chunyang took in the entire Qianxu Sect.
The structure of this sect is generally consistent with the information Yan Chen gave him. However, in order to prevent Wu Taoist and other sect masters from discovering it, he did not release the spiritual detection hastily. He just kept the various deployments of this sect in mind for future actions. .
Not long after, Zhaoyan led them to a mountain with dense cold air. The cold air here was not the cold of wind and snow, but was caused by some kind of magic circle that forcibly gathered underground Yin Qi. These Yin Qi were mixed together. To the extreme, it cannot be absorbed into practice, otherwise there is a danger of shaking the foundation. ,
After the auspicious clouds dispersed, Zhaoyan took out a talisman from his arms, recited a few spells and turned it into a flash of light that quickly flew to the top of the mountain. After that, he ordered everyone to stay here quietly.
No one in the group said anything because they were interested. After about half a quarter of an hour, a stream of light sped down from the peak, and a handsome young monk appeared in front of them. This man had an unusually deep demonic aura, and he actually had the late stage of pill formation. Cultivating power, as soon as he fell down, he looked at everyone.
"Uncle Wu asked you to come?"
After watching for a long time, the handsome man asked expressionlessly. Although he didn't show anything, there was a look of aloofness between his eyebrows.
"Replying to this senior brother, we are here to assist you senior fellow apprentices in guarding the Mysterious Prison in the name of Uncle Mingwu. I hope that senior fellow apprentices will take care of you in the future." Zhaoyan chuckled and took a step forward as he spoke. A spiritual light appeared in his sleeves. , secretly stuffing a few high-quality spiritual stones into the hands of the handsome man.
The handsome man's expression changed, and his gaze on Zhaoyan softened a lot, but he still looked at everyone indifferently.
These disciples were all Taoist people, and they fully understood what the other party meant at this moment. They took out the spirit stones one by one and handed them over to the handsome man.
Ye Chunyang also pretended to take out some spiritual stones.
Now his identity is just an ordinary disciple of the Qianxu Sect in the early stage of forming pills, so he naturally has to keep a low profile.
"Several junior brothers have good intentions. Don't worry, everyone. Since you are here, I will take care of you. For now, you just come with me. This Xuan Prison is an important place of my sect, and there are many restrictions. There are many restrictions. I will not wait for you. Let people come in, but don't rush in, otherwise a big disaster will happen. Don't blame me as a senior brother for not warning me." The handsome man weighed the many spiritual stones in his hands, feeling very satisfied, and waved to everyone.
"Thank you, senior brother, for your support."
Zhaoyan was overjoyed and used his superb skills to flatter the horse without hesitation.
The handsome man was very satisfied, nodded and took everyone up the mountain.
As this handsome man said, there are many restrictions on the mountain, and they are interlocking with each other. If they are touched, the whole body will be affected. If they are touched, the spiritual energy within a hundred miles will be pulled in and turned into incredible attacks.
There are so many restrictions, which shows that Qianxu Sect attaches great importance to this place.
Not long after following the handsome man flying up the mountain, Ye Chunyang saw a huge square with a thick layer of light covering the sky. There were stone pillars erected in the square, probably no less than hundreds of them. Each pillar was They are all two feet high, covered with strange patterns and chains, and emit bursts of jet-black demonic energy, implying the power of sealing.
Looking from above, the sealed demonic energy in these stone pillars was blocked by the light shield. Not only did not a trace of it escape, but it became increasingly dense under the compression of the forbidden light shield, carrying extremely strong spiritual pressure.
"This is the Mysterious Prison, and it is also the place where our sect has always detained felons. We are here to guard and we are not allowed to enter the Mysterious Prison Square without permission. Otherwise, if we make any mistake, we will die without redemption. Do you remember it clearly? "
The handsome man pointed to the square in front of him and said to everyone indifferently.
"Senior brother, don't worry. We must remember that we will only guard the outside and never enter the square." Zhaoyan said solemnly.
"That's good, but having said that, even if you have any evil intentions, you and your level of cultivation will never allow you to break through the square's restrictions." The handsome man nodded slightly and said nonchalantly.
At this moment, silhouettes of people flashed around the square, and several late-stage alchemy monks gathered, including men and women. Probably because they were used to guarding in this important place, everyone looked aloof and looked away from Ye Chunyang and his entourage indifferently after looking at them for a moment.
"Brother Zhou, are these the disciples sent by the sect to guard Xuan Prison together?"
A middle-aged man with a square face and sharp eyes glanced at everyone and asked indifferently.
"Exactly, they are here named by Master Wu himself." The handsome man named Zhou said.
"It seems that something has indeed happened within the sect. Our disciples who are responsible for guarding the Xuan Prison have never had to obey orders to go down the mountain to perform tasks. However, many of our fellow disciples were summoned a few days ago. Now it is they who are in the early and middle stages of the alchemy process and are being sent back. A disciple of Master Wu, aren’t you afraid of something going wrong in Xuan Prison?” a female disciple in the late stage of pill formation said dissatisfied.
"Thank you, junior sister, for being careful. After the great elder retreated, uncle Wu is the authority of our sect. If junior sister's remarks fall into the ears of our uncle, I'm afraid it will end badly." The handsome man frowned and quickly organized the female disciples to follow him. if.
The woman surnamed Xie glanced at her mouth and felt unwilling to do so. They had lived here all year round and did not understand the affairs of the sect. Naturally, they did not know that the Qianxu sect was undercurrent at the moment, and the mysterious prison was of great importance. To her, these disciples who were in the early and middle stages of forming the alchemy system were undoubtedly perfunctory, which really made her feel uncomfortable.
However, due to the authority of the Wu Taoist, after hearing what the man surnamed Zhou said, the woman surnamed Xie really kept silent.
"Okay, we are indeed short of manpower these days. Now that the sect has sent helpers, we will allocate one or two, each with two junior brothers on duty. What do you think?" The man surnamed Zhou waved his hand and moved. topic.
"It seems like this is all we can do now." The big man with a square face snorted angrily, glanced sideways at everyone, and then casually nodded at two disciples who were in the early stage of forming pills, "You two, come with me!"
The two disciples glanced at each other, but did not dare to say anything against them. They quickly followed behind the big man, and the three of them quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
"If I remember correctly, one of you is a disciple of Uncle Li, and the other is a disciple of Uncle Hao?"
After the square-faced man led the two of them away, the woman named Xie suddenly looked at Zhaoyan and Ye Chunyang with a strange look in her eyes.
"Senior Sister, you have good eyesight. I am Zhaoyan, who is a disciple of Master Li. This is Junior Brother Chen Qi and Chen, a registered disciple of Uncle Hao." Zhaoyan said flatteringly.
"Very good, you two can come with me!"
The woman surnamed Xie did not hesitate at all. She waved her jade hands at the two of them and flew in the other direction.
