Chapter 411 The person in charge of the Ministry of Justice
There was a wailing in the prison. Just by hearing the sound, I thought I was in purgatory on earth. But when I opened my eyes, I found that it was full of greenery and even the air was exceptionally fresh.
With the immortal's body as the soil for growth, and the careful care of Li Xiuchang, the great spiritual plant master, these plants grew exceptionally lush.
Liang Daocheng looked carefully at the miserable state of those shadows and couldn't help but turn pale.
Li Xiuchang's interrogation method is less friendly to people who are further back in line.
The people in front have explained everything that needs to be explained, and the people behind have to supplement it and provide valuable information so that their punishment can be lighter.
So the luckiest person was actually Duanmu Huai, who was the first to be interrogated. He was the one who suffered the least among all the shadows. He had countless small wounds on his body, and grass seeds were sprinkled in each wound, causing his body to A layer of turf has grown.
The shadows at the back were each more exaggerated than the last. Some had bushes growing on their bodies, some were covered with vines, and many had several trees growing directly on their bodies.
Liang Daocheng even saw some people with mushrooms growing on their bodies.
Some of these plants took root in the wounds on Shadow's body, while others grew out of the body's orifices.
Li Xiuchang force-fed them to swallow the seeds, and then germinated the seeds in their bellies...
The shadows at the back were the most unlucky. The people in front had handed over all the information. They racked their brains but couldn't come up with any useful information. They could only be tortured repeatedly. Each one of them carried a piece of greenery. bring.
Liang Daocheng took a deep breath and once again doubted Li Xiuchang's identity.
Is this really a native disciple of my Xianchen Sect?
Didn’t you go to the Demon Sect for further study?
He thought of Motu, the last demon lord, and suspected that Li Xiuchang must have learned these methods from Motu.
If Motu finds out, he will definitely cry out for injustice. Their demon sect doesn't have such means!
Li Xiuchang didn't think there was anything wrong. He felt that his interrogation method was good, green and environmentally friendly.
He turned around and saw Liang Daocheng walking in, so he picked a red fruit from the fruit tree next to him and handed it over:
"Sect Master, eat the fruit."
Liang Daocheng glanced at the shadow pierced into a honeycomb by the roots of the fruit tree, his face darkened, and he shook his head: "I won't eat it."
Li Xiuchang simply threw away the fruit in his hand and he refused to eat it.
He went straight to the point and said: "Sect Master, the situation is not optimistic."
Liang Daocheng opened his mouth and said, "Let's talk after we go out."
In this prison, he could not communicate with anyone normally.
Li Xiuchang felt that the scenery in this prison was pleasant and suitable for chatting. However, the sect leader said that if you want to go out, then go out. He said again before leaving:
"I have donated all the spiritual plants in this prison to the sect, and I can do whatever the sect does with them."
I thank you on behalf of the sect... Liang Daocheng's mouth twitched. He knew that the efficacy of these spiritual plants would not be affected, but he could not help but feel uncomfortable in his heart. He thought for a while and said:
"Let's call some first-level talisman masters to come over and take care of it later."
When the two came outside the prison, Liang Daocheng breathed a sigh of relief, and the three Supreme Elders, Chu Ya and others gathered around them.
A Supreme Elder said: "The information you asked this time is of great significance. Should we convene a high-level meeting immediately?"
This time Li Xiuchang asked for a lot of information, but overall it was bad news. The only good news was probably that the key to the sermon list was lost in the shadow world, and the chance of being brought back was low. Everyone in the Xianchen Sect did not have to worry about the death of the society. .
Liang Daocheng said: "Convene a meeting with all the Supreme Elders. The elders will not come."
When it comes to matters in the shadow world, those elders who have not yet become immortals are actually unable to contribute much and cannot get involved.
However, there are exceptions. Liang Daocheng looked at Li Xiuchang and said, "Xiuchang, please come with us."
Li Xiuchang is not an ordinary elder, and the interrogation just now has proven his ability.
And he is very likely to be promoted to Supreme Elder in a short time.
When Chu Ya and others saw this, they knew that they could not participate in what happened next, so they decided to resign.
But Li Xiuchang stopped them and said to Liang Daocheng: "Sect Master, didn't you always ask me what kind of work I want to be responsible for? I think the interrogation work will be left to me exclusively in the future. Our sect can be dedicated to Establish a 'Department of Punishment', led by me."
Liang Daocheng was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said: "The sect already has a law enforcement hall, wouldn't it be redundant to have more criminal departments?"
What he wants to say is that the Xianchen Sect has not had a "Punishment Department" for so many years, which means there is no need for it at all. If a Punishment Department is specially established to be responsible only for interrogation work, will it be too free and have nothing to do?
Liang Daocheng still hopes to train Li Xiuchang more and let him become the leader of the sect in the future.
Maybe in the future, his position as the sect leader will be handed over to Li Xiuchang.
Li Xiuchang said: "The Punishment Department and the Law Enforcement Hall are not the same thing. The Law Enforcement Hall is for the inside of the sect and punishes those who violate the sect's rules, while the Punishment Department is for external enemies and obtains useful information from the enemy through punishment.
"In the past, our Fairy Dust Sect had no external enemies, so of course there was no need for the existence of the Criminal Department. But things are different from the past. We will have to fight the shadows for a long time in the future. We will definitely catch more shadows in the future, and interrogation work will be commonplace."
Liang Daocheng thought about it carefully and found out that this was the truth.
There may be times when shadows are interrogated in the future, so we can't pull Li Xiuchang over to help every time, right?
It would be better to follow Li Xiuchang's wishes and set up a special punishment department to let him take full responsibility for this matter.
The reason why Li Xiuchang proposed this idea was because he knew that he, as an elder with real power, must be in charge of things. Instead of taking care of those tedious things, it is better to take the initiative to ask for the interrogation work.
No matter how busy the interrogation work is, it will not be too busy. Even if more shadows are caught later, how much new information can be asked?
And as the boss of a department, he must have people under him!
Once he teaches his younger brothers, he will not need to do it himself.
This is also the reason why he called Chu Ya and others. This ready-made candidate cannot be missed!
Liang Daocheng thought for a few breaths. He was absolutely confident in Li Xiuchang's interrogation ability, so he nodded and said: "I will discuss this matter with other supreme elders during the meeting later."
Li Xiuchang knew that this matter was basically settled, so he said to Chu Ya and others: "If the Ministry of Justice is established, we still need to recruit people. I wonder if you are interested in joining?"
Pang Yuanfu hesitated for a second and agreed at once.
Although he would instinctively resist those scenes just now, this is a good opportunity to rise to prominence!
Li Xiuchang is a newly promoted elder, and there is no one available under his command. If he joins him early, he will be his confidant in the future.
Moreover, the Ministry of Justice was just established, and he was the first member to join. Just with this qualification, he can be guaranteed to become a senior member of the Ministry of Justice in the future.
Looking at all the departments of the Xianchen Sect, those who can become senior members are all elders who hold real power.
Of course, the above are secondary. Pang Yuanfu really likes Li Xiuchang. Even a blind man can see Li Xiuchang's potential. If he follows Li Xiuchang, why worry about the future?
Song Yu thought for a few breaths and agreed to join.
He didn't have as many ideas as Pang Yuanfu. Song Yu was a traditional inner disciple who had no distractions and pursued the great way. He just felt that he had been practicing hard and lacked experience. It would be good to exercise himself in the Ministry of Justice.
Moreover, recalling the scene of Li Xiuchang interrogating Shadow just now, Song Yu felt that it could temper his Dao heart.
When he could face such a scene without changing his expression, and even his heart was calm, then his Dao heart would naturally rise to a higher level.
Chu Ya thought seriously for a moment. His background and his own qualifications determined that his future immortal path would be smooth, not to mention that he now had Ye Yuqiu as his Taoist partner, so he didn't have to consider what benefits he would get from joining the Ministry of Justice.
He only considered one thing, whether he was interested or not?
However, seeing that Pang Yuanfu and Song Yu had joined, he finally made a decision: "Then count me in."
"Okay!" Li Xiuchang smiled. Before the Ministry of Justice was established, he had already gained three generals.
...
The meeting of all the supreme elders of the Xianchen Sect began soon.
The six supreme elders of Donggeng District also attended.
As the only elder attending the meeting, Li Xiuchang also received frequent attention.
At the meeting, Liang Daocheng circulated the information obtained by Li Xiuchang's interrogation to everyone.
The faces of the great elders all became solemn.
"These shadows really had something to hide before." Zhang Wanzhi put down the jade slip, and his face was also rare and serious.
Before they interrogated those shadows, although the shadows finally spoke, they only said whatever they were asked, and never said anything without being asked.
They had never explained how big the shadow world was before.
Li Xiuchang and the others had always thought that the shadow world was as big as the Xianyin Realm, and that the shadow world was a projection of the Xianyin Realm.
But in fact, the area of the shadow world is hundreds of times larger than the Xianyin Realm!
Chen Changsheng said: "It seems that the shadow world does not correspond to the Xianyin Realm, but to the former Xiuxian Great World!"
Most of the great elders present were at a loss, and they did not know that the hundreds of worlds today were formed after the destruction of a great world.
This is also a secret, and only some old antiques know it. Li Xiuchang and the others learned it from Tianxiang.
Chen Changsheng popularized this long history for everyone. The great elders thought for a moment and expressed their understanding.
"Can we understand it this way? The shadow world projects the past Xianyin Realm. At that time, the Xianyin Realm had not yet been broken and was much more vast than it is now."
"That's right, and the Tongtian Immortal Tree that existed in the former Xianyin Realm also appeared in the shadow world, which means that the Tongtian Immortal Tree in the past was also projected over."
Zhang Wanzhi shook his head and said, "This can explain some things, but the people in the two realms are synchronized. The cultivation of the main body and the shadow is synchronized. Once the main body dies, the shadow will die immediately."
Everyone pondered and really couldn't find a very reasonable explanation.
It doesn't make sense that the former Xianyin Realm was projected, but the people in the current Xianyin Realm were projected over.
There is still a difference between dead and living things?
Li Xiuchang reminded: "Not only the people in the Xianyin Realm were projected, but also the strong people in other worlds were projected over, including those who have ascended."
All people in the entire world of the heavens and the worlds, no matter which layer of the world they are from, can find their shadows in the shadow world.
And there is no such thing as ascension in the shadow world. Everyone is in the same world.
This also makes the shadow world so powerful that it is terrifying!
After all, it is a gathering of all the powerful people in the heavens and the worlds.
This also made everyone present feel unprecedented pressure.
How can they use the power of one world to fight against the shadow world that gathers the powerful people from all the heavens and the worlds?
Even the power of the Xianyin Realm is incomplete, because a large number of strong people have ascended to the upper realm and cannot come back.
Seeing that everyone was silent and the atmosphere was a bit dull, Liang Daocheng had to speak to ease the atmosphere and said:
"In fact, you don't have to be so pessimistic. Although the gap in strength between the enemy and us is too large, in fact, no matter how many strong people they have, it doesn't affect us if they can't come to the Xianyin Realm.
"In short, if we only want to defend, we can completely ignore this gap in strength, but if we want to take the initiative to attack, it will be more difficult than we thought at the beginning. "
Everyone nodded, it was true.
No matter how many powerful people there were in the shadow world, they could not come to the Xianyin world.
Because the original bodies of those shadows were in other worlds, as long as their original bodies did not come to the Xianyin world and did not enter the Xianyin, then those shadows would never have the opportunity to leave the shadow world.
Looking back at the past countless years, every shadow that came to the Xianyin world, their original bodies were basically native people of the Xianyin world.
If it was just defense, it was actually very simple, blocking the Xianyin, not letting others in, and then slowly cleaning up the remaining shadows.
But if you want to counterattack, want to enter the shadow world to rescue those trapped in the shadow world, that would be hell!
Be more rational, maybe you should give up saving people and focus on defense.
It's just that the Xianyin is still gradually expanding, and at that time you can only abandon the entire Xianyin world and move to other worlds.
But if people can be rational in everything, they will not be like humans.
There are always people who are unwilling to give up and are unwilling to admit defeat.
Chen Changsheng said: "At present, we should focus on defense, and wait until the situation stabilizes, and then slowly plan to attack. ”
In the final analysis, we still have to attack and take the initiative!
Some people nodded, and some remained silent.
Those who remained silent did not disagree with the attack. They also wanted to rescue those fellow disciples who were replaced.
They just lacked confidence.
Liang Daocheng said: "I will discuss with the other three major immortal sects, gather the strength of our four families, and then mobilize other forces of all sizes in the Xianyin Realm to fight against the shadow together. You can also say what good ideas you have. ”
Someone said: "Even if our entire Xianyin Realm is united, we cannot narrow the gap in strength. The shadows themselves are very united."
Someone echoed: "Yes, the union of several families is just to gather the existing forces. The key is how to strengthen our strength?"
Li Xiuchang, who had been listening, had an idea and said: "What if we can find a way to invite those predecessors who have ascended to the upper realm back?"
They had successful cases before. During the Dark Heaven Realm War, several senior brothers had ascended, and then returned to the lower realm through the formation. (End of this chapter)
