This was the first time Xia Sheng had walked into the Adjudication Division, because five hundred years ago, there was no such institution in Jinguo, but he could still clearly feel that the little official had been taking him around in circles.

It has been almost half an hour since he walked into the gate of the Adjudication Division, and Xia Sheng has not yet reached the black prison.

It has to be said that the architecture of the Adjudication Division itself is like a giant labyrinth, surrounded by eight or nine feet high bushes, which completely obscure the view, making people in it, and can hardly see the roads on either side, only the winding path ahead.

On top of that, the corridors and pavilions that appear at intervals are also very confusing, at least from the outside, each corridor is exactly the same, and each pavilion is much the same.

Whether it is the material, length and width, style, or even a subtle pattern, a raised stone, half an inch and a little grass, it is difficult to distinguish between them.

Not to mention the ubiquitous mist that permeated the entire Adjudication Division's mansion, making it impossible to see the scorching sun overhead, even in broad daylight, and could only vaguely see a somewhat dazzling halo.

And under such circumstances, Xia Sheng still took the shortest time to write down those correct paths, and secretly drew the floor plan of most of the adjudication division in his brain.

That's why he knew that the little official in front of him had been taking himself around in circles.

"Maybe it's to cover up the real location of the Black Prison. ”

Xia Sheng thought so, but he also calmed down, and didn't say a word along the way, let alone complain about how the black prison was so far, because he knew that no matter how much the other party detoured, no matter how huge this maze was, it would eventually come to the end.

Sure enough. Just a quarter of an hour later, the little official of the Adjudication Division, who had been walking in front of Xia Sheng, suddenly stopped, turned back a little mechanically, and said two words to Xia Sheng.

"It's here. ”

Looking up, there was a dead end in front of me, and a huge mountain rock blocked in the middle of the road. All the space where you can move forward is sealed, and there are some mottled dead vines hanging on it, and a large field of bright red flowers, which has a terrifying beauty.

The flower stem is about ten inches long, five flowers are in a group, arranged in an umbrella shape, born at the top of the flower stem, the petals are inverted-lanceolate, unfolding and curling backwards. The edges are wrinkled and wavy, and the tepal tube is extremely short, which looks very enchanting.

This is Manju Sahua.

Also known as the other side flower.

It is recorded in the ancient scriptures that the flowers on the other side bloom for a thousand years and fall for a thousand years, and the flowers and leaves will never meet. Love is not cause and effect, fate is destined for life and death.

Xia Sheng didn't expect it. I can actually see this kind of flower in the adjudication department.

What made him even more strange was that the little official who led the way told him that the black prison had arrived. But where?

The next moment, Xia Sheng looked down at the little official's gaze and found that there was a dark and deep gap on the ground not far ahead.

It turned out that the black prison of the Adjudication Division was a dungeon.

The little official just stood there. Holding the oil lamp with a dim yellow glow in his hand, it seemed that Xia Sheng was invited first.

Seeing this, Xia Sheng simply came straight to the side of the little official without hesitation at all. Climb down the cork ladder that extends from the gap.

As soon as he entered the black prison, a damp and musty smell couldn't wait to burrow into Xia Sheng's nose, but surprisingly, there was not too much blood in it.

From the entrance of the cave to the ground, it is about three zhang high, and it is pitch black all around, and there seems to be a trace of fluorescence in the distance, which is cast on the stone wall, making people feel a chilling coldness.

Xia Sheng did not act rashly, but waited quietly in place, and after a while, the dim oil lamp appeared behind him, also illuminating the road in front of him.

Immediately, I didn't know what the little official of the ruling division did behind Xia Sheng, so I heard a dense rumbling of machines, echoing in this narrow corridor.

After the deathly silence was restored, the little official walked in front of Xia Sheng again and said coldly, "Let's go." ”

Xia Sheng bowed slightly, and continued to follow behind the other party, walking towards the unfathomable netherworld.

After a while, when he came to the place where he saw the light before, Xia Sheng realized that it was not an oil lamp, but a rare jade, which was shining with a sparkling cold glow, which was breathtaking.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the two of them came to a heavy gate one after the other, and the little official took out the key from his arms, inserted it into the lock hole, and twisted it gently, and the next moment, the large iron door made of fine iron slowly opened, revealing the true face inside.

Different from Xia Sheng's imagination, inside the gate is a very clean room, spotless, although the light is a little dim, but people can still see that the people who live here have a special taste.

There is even a pot of pothos next to it, a few herring fish in the water tank, and the bookshelf on the left is full of ancient books, arranged neatly and not cluttered at all.

There is a middle-aged man sitting in the room, his body is slightly fat, but not sloppy, his long hair is neatly tied behind his head, and he has a bun with a simple wooden hairpin inserted on it, at this time he is sitting at the table reading, judging from the cover, it should be the "Miscellaneous Treatise on Spiritual Weapons" written by Mr. Tao Zhiqian.

The little official walked up to the middle-aged man, bent down respectfully, and said, "Sir, I brought the person." ”

The middle-aged man nodded, as if he was a little reluctant to put down the scroll in his hand, and then raised his head to look at Xia Sheng.

At the same time, Xia Sheng was also carefully looking at the owner of this black prison.

Ding Zhong, if I remember correctly, it should be this name, although it is a bit ordinary, but I have to say that in this first meeting, the other party did make Xia Sheng feel a little surprised.

Because he didn't expect that the rumored most ruthless evil official in the Adjudication Division would look like this.

It's not hideous at all, it's not scary at all, it's more like an uncle next door.

With a broad forehead and high cheekbones, although his complexion is whiter than ordinary because of the fact that he rarely sees sunlight all year round, other than that, it does not make people feel that this person has the slightest speciality.

But what made Xia Sheng extremely vigilant was the other party's eyes.

Clear and transparent, as if shining in the dim light, but also as if you can see through the darkest secrets in everyone's heart at a glance, and the edge is extremely strong.

The next moment, Ding Zhong stood up from the table and smiled gently at Xia Sheng: "This is Xia Gongzi, fortunately." ”

Xia Sheng bowed slightly, and said lightly: "I've seen Lord Ding." ”

"Heh......" Ding Zhong came to Xia Sheng's side and laughed at himself: "What an adult is not a big person, but it's just a mixed meal, Xia Gongzi, please come with me." ”

As he spoke, Ding Zhong took the oil lamp from his subordinates and led Xia Sheng towards the secret door on the other side, looking like he was going to take Xia Sheng to meet the three demon clan spies in person.

In this regard, Xia Sheng didn't know if he should feel honored, until he inadvertently found the kitchen knife that Ding Zhong straddled around his waist, and the cold light was shining.
