After leaving Chen Guogong's mansion, Pan Long went to the prison of Dali Temple again.

Dali Temple is a transitional institution between the local yamen and the criminal department.

According to the laws of Bactria , the punishment is divided into five grades, in order: beheading, exile, imprisonment, imprisonment, and punishment. The death penalty, exile (10 to 20 years of hard labor in a desolate and remote penal colony), imprisonment (up to 10 years of hard labor), imprisonment (imprisonment for less than three years), and fines and public recitation of confessions.

In addition to these five punishments, there are also attached punishments such as cane punishment and wooden planks, but they are generally not used - Emperor Jiazi set the rule back then, unless tortured, there is no need for corporal punishment. Even if it is torture, closing the small black room is actually much more effective than simple beating.

Among the fifth-class punishments, the second punishment of beheading and exile must be reported to Gyeonggi for review. The person responsible for the audit is Dali Temple.

The crime of exile shall be examined and determined by the Dali Temple; the death penalty shall be examined and approved by the Dali Temple and then submitted to the Criminal Department for review.

Therefore, generally speaking, when the local government sentences a prisoner to death, it often sets the execution time a few months later, which is to facilitate the two rounds of review by the Dali Temple and the Criminal Department.

In judicial practice, Dali Temple often escorts some prisoners sentenced to exile to Gyeonggi for personal retrial, so in the prison of Dali Temple, there are always a large number of people who will be escorted to the land of poor mountains and rivers to serve hard labor, and it is estimated that they will not return to their hometown in this life.

Hard labor is not a dinner party, and most prisoners usually die of illness after three or five years of hard work. Only the strongest can survive the hard labor of 10 years or 20 years, and finally be released from prison.

And the reason why Zhao Xianda went to the prison of Dali Temple was to select people who could be trained as secret guards and take them for secret training.

Such people are destined to be impossible to truly trust and reuse, and may even be brainwashed before training. Even if they complete their training, they are still engaged in some of the hardest and most dangerous jobs among the Dark Guards, and to put it bluntly, they are cannon fodder.

Zhao Xianda, as the head of the secret guard, is also responsible for brainwashing, of course he will often go to the prison of Dali Temple.

But Pan Long didn't meet him here either.

So he went to a third location.

A Secret Guard Training Camp.

The four locations given to him by Zhao Xincheng were Chen Guogong's Mansion, Dali Temple Prison, Secret Guard Training Camp and Zhuzhao Cemetery.

According to Zhao Xincheng, Zhao Xianda is either in his own home, or in the prison of Dali Temple or in the secret guard training camp to select and train secret guards, or in the Zhuzhao Cemetery to sweep the tomb and nostalgia.

This man's life is very simple, as simple as a plant.

If you want to find him, unless he is out on the field, as long as you go through these four places, you will definitely encounter him.

Zhuzhao Cemetery is a little far away from the gods, and Pan Long wants to visit everywhere, so naturally he comes one by one from near to far.

The secret guard training camp was very special, but it was under a theater building in Dongchun City.

The theater occupies a large area, and there are three main and secondary stages alone, and it can accommodate more than 6,000 people to watch the theater together at the most, making it the largest theater in the entire Gyeonggi area.

For a while, it was even the venue of the Mid-Autumn Festival moon viewing ceremony, and it also had a certain status in the cultural history of Daxia.

There is a large excavated basement under the theater to store sundries.

But few people know that underneath the basement, there are actually two basement floors.

The two-story basement is one of the training camps of the dark guards, which is responsible for "ideological education" - to put it bluntly, it is to brainwash people with the Great Freedom Heavenly King Mantra.

It's brutal, but it works.

When Pan Long arrived at the theater, a big play was being staged.

He is quite familiar with that play, which tells the story of the murderous demon hidden in Duwang Town, and the hero Hai Chengkong sent by Xinghai to come here to find relatives and friends, and led the young heroes to fight wits and courage with the devil, and finally killed them one by one.

Well, it's the volume of "Brilliant Jewels" in "The Legend of the Demon Warriors".

As for why this story is so similar to a famous anime work he watched when he was young in his previous life - don't you understand that the author is "Wen Chaogong"?

Looking at the stage, the flower-faced man who played Hai Chengkong and the handsome martial artist who played the demon Ji Liangzi sang and played, with various special effects of magic illusion, the audience applauded endlessly.

Pan Long smiled, like an invisible shadow, and quietly walked into the basement without alarming anyone.

But when he entered the basement, he was a little embarrassed.

In this basement, there is no road to the second and third basement floors.

Even if he scanned it with his divine sense, he couldn't find that there were two or three floors underground.

If it weren't for the affirmation that Zhao Xincheng wouldn't lie about this matter, he was afraid that he would have left long ago.

Because he trusted Zhao Xincheng, Pan Long stayed in the basement and searched carefully.

He searched for more than half an hour, until the opera above had temporarily come to an end, and the actors and the audience had rested for the time being, and finally found some clues.

On the walls of the basement, there are several inconspicuous pieces of copper.

At first glance, the copper flakes may seem fine, but behind the copper flakes is a cavity and a thin copper wire is buried in the wall and extends downward.

Pan Long searched down a copper wire with his divine sense, and suddenly, the copper wire suddenly "disappeared".

He didn't laugh back.

(Zhao Xincheng is not wrong, there is really another mystery below!)

The copper wire may be broken, but if it is broken, there should be a broken head, and it should never be directly "missing".

There is only one explanation for this situation.

Underneath this basement, there is a formation that can isolate the divine sense.

Except for the dark guard training camp, where else is there a need for such a formation?

He smiled slightly, leaned over to the copper, and listened intently.

After a long while, he heard an extremely small sound, faintly coming from the copper plate.

"It's my turn, is there any movement up there?"

"How can there be any movement? There has been no movement in so many years. ”

"The head of the sect said that there may be trouble these days. So we have to keep an eye on it. Hasn't he been here these days? ”

"What trouble can we have?"

"How do I know...... Anyway, just execute the order. You go and rest first, and I'll take over. ”

Listening to this voice, the corners of Pan Long's mouth curled slightly.

Now he can be completely sure that the following is indeed the training camp of the dark guard, and the head of the dark guard, Chen Guogong Zhao Xianda, is really here!

Taking a deep breath, a cold light flashed on his hand, and with Ao Jin and Taibai essence as raw materials, the divine weapon "Platinum Star" created by Immortal Buddha Bi Lingkong appeared in his hand.

Swing the knife towards the ground, heavy stone slabs, rammed earth ground...... All of them were cut, as if they were cutting paper with a quick knife, without encountering any resistance.

Pan Long's blade turned twice, and the ground suddenly centered on him, breaking a circle more than two feet wide, and then he lifted his foot and stomped on it, and this circle fell directly downward.

Below was a rather large room, where dozens of black-clad people were training in techniques such as grappling and assassinating against dummies, and they were all stunned to see the ceiling above their heads suddenly crack and a large piece falling.

In the blink of an eye, the wind blew away the dust, Pan Long looked around, nodded, and then roared.

"Zhao Xianda, get out of here!"
