Chapter 174: The Last Choice
Everyone looked at Momo together.
"Elder Peng forgot something?" Xiaomi asked first.
Mo Mo forgot something, but he was stepped on by Zhang Meng just now, and his instep hurt a little, so he suddenly slapped his thigh again and said, "Oh haha, it's nothing, I remembered it again." ”
Everyone looked at Mo Mo suspiciously, feeling that this "Elder Peng" was a little different recently, but they couldn't say anything different.
In order to hide his embarrassment, Mo Mo asked Zhan Jianneng: "Brother Xiao Neng, can you still pick one person on the fifth floor of the basement?
Zhan Jianneng grinned smugly and said, "Hehe, I've thought about it for you, there is indeed a treasure on the fifth floor of the basement, although his cultivation is not as high as the two martial saints he just selected, but he is a wizard." ”
"Wizard?" Xiaomi also looked at Zhan Jianneng suspiciously.
Zhan Jianneng led everyone to another place, and whispered: "This kid is a person from Xiangshui City's Wanruo Palace, and he was arrested because he made trouble in the Fengshen Empire. Later, the people above the palace said that he was an undercover agent in Xiangshui City and had to be imprisoned, so they arrested him to the fifth basement. Later, it was said that nothing was found, but no one had ever ordered him to be released, so he was kept here for several years. ”
Xiaomi smiled and said, "Cut, this kind of thing must be not just him, the empire has captured so many people in a year, who can remember these prisoners every day." ”
Zhan Jian could echo and said: "Yes, yes, there are fewer such things on the fifth and sixth floors of the basement, after all, there will be people above who will come to check on a regular basis." But there are too many prisoners who have been forgotten by the empire above the fourth floor, some of them have been locked up for more than ten or twenty years, and they have not been taken out for questioning, and some people have died of illness in their cells, which is very pitiful to think about. ”
When Mo Mo heard these words, his eyes flickered for a while, his mood was slightly heavy, and he said, "Anyway, after selecting people on the fifth floor of the dungeon, it's almost the same." In addition to these people who have been selected, it is enough to have a hundred prisoners at random, of course, we will not select those people one by one, and we can only trouble Brother Xiaoneng when the time comes. ”
"The elder is polite, and the rest of the people will naturally help you think about it, but the order from above says that this time you can only let the Shadow Palace select a maximum of fifty people, and if there are more, you can only wait for the next time. Counting the wizards who were seen right away, plus Kuang Rou, Sang Yizhuang, and Mu Baoben, there may be forty-six places left on the Shadow Palace's side. Zhan Jian said embarrassedly.
Xiaomi frowned and said, "Brother Xiao Neng, why are there so many places, when I came to select prisoners in the past, I would often give one or two hundred places, why are there fewer places this time?"
"Hey, hey. Zhan Jian laughed dryly, "Special envoy Xiaomi, elder, you have also seen that the prisoners this time are different from the past, in the past, even if you selected two hundred prisoners, there was only one and a half martial idiots, and sometimes there was not even a single martial idiot. The most critical reason is that in the past, the emperor ordered that the Shadow Palace could only choose people in the dungeon, and it could only be above the third floor of the dungeon, and finding a high cultivation there was like finding a young eagle in a chicken coop, how could it be so easy. But this time it's different, this time the emperor ordered that the Shadow Palace select prisoners, and they can go down to the fifth floor of this dungeon, so you understand, right?"
"That's just as well. Zhang Meng, who didn't intervene for a long time, came up and said, "Although the combat power of a martial saint may not be comparable to a hundred martial artists, the role of a martial saint is not something that a hundred martial artists can replace." ”
"Yes, yes, Elder, think about it, how many Martial Saints there are in your entire Shadow Palace, and this time there are two more. If the two martial saints make good use of it, it will be like a tiger with wings. After all, there aren't even a lot of silver guards in the Empire, so you have to cherish them. Zhan Jianneng was afraid that Mo Mo and the others would be dissatisfied, so he hurriedly comforted.
Actually, Mo Mo is not dissatisfied, it's just that he came here with his own ideas, and when he picks people, he doesn't focus on cultivation. Although Sang Yizhuang and Kuang Rou are both top martial arts masters, these two people are not normal people no matter how they look at them, Mo Mo is afraid that after these two goods arrive at the Shadow Palace, they will do evil and not listen to the call, and then they will waste such a good opportunity to choose people.
"Brother Zhan, we understand your hard work, let's stop gossiping, hurry up and take us to meet that wizard, right?" Mo Mo reminded.
Zhan Jianneng pointed to the front of him and said, "It's two steps away, oh, this is it." ”
Mo Mo walked to Zhan Jianneng's side and looked into the cell, a middle-aged man who was almost forty or fifty years old was standing in it, and when he saw Mo Mo and the others coming, he smiled politely at everyone.
Mo Mo also subconsciously smiled at the Ju Zi inside, I don't know why, after seeing this Ju Zi Kai, Mo Mo felt a little familiar with this person.
"You're on your own, aren't you?" asked the middle-aged man Momo straight to the point.
"Exactly, may I ask what the seniors are doing here?" Ju Zikai is very generous, and when he speaks, he is polite, not like a person who does evil.
Momo looked at Xiaomi and asked, "I said or did you say?"
In fact, Xiaomi is not interested in these things, she has been to several elders of the Shadow Palace many times before, and it doesn't matter who chooses someone, not to mention that Mo Mo has a good relationship with her recently, so she will not fight with Mo Mo for this meaningless right.
"Elder, you say, I'm also a token bearer, you are the elder of the Shadow Palace, as long as the time comes, the elder will divide a few neat people into our guard hall. Millet laughed.
Mo Mo nodded, turned his head to Ju Zikai and said, "I am the elder of the Shadow Palace, come here to recruit new people from the Shadow Palace, you have also walked the rivers and lakes for many years, you must be no stranger to the Shadow Palace, right?"
Ju Zikai was not surprised to hear this, and asked rhetorically: "I can join the Shadow Palace, but I don't know if the Shadow Palace can protect me?"
After listening to Ju Zikai's words, several people looked at each other, what is the meaning of whether the Shadow Palace can protect him thoroughly, and what kind of place does he regard the Shadow Palace?
"In that case, you won't think of the Shadow Palace as a place to retire and send you to the end of your life, right?" Mo Mo sneered.
Ju Zikai was good-tempered, and said without being surprised: "You may have misunderstood what I meant, what I want to tell you is that I have an enemy outside, and after joining your Shadow Palace, I will not be hunted down to the Shadow Palace by the enemy, right?"
"Hahahaha!" Xiaomi laughed regardless of her image, leaning back and forth in laughter, startling everyone, and then laughed for a long time before holding her stomach and saying, "I said dude, you're too funny, you really underestimate the movie palace." When have you ever heard of someone entering the Shadow Palace? Do you think the reason why the Shadow Palace has been standing for so many years is because the Shadow Palace has no enemies?"
Ju Zikai coughed embarrassedly twice, because his expression skills were not very strong, but he seemed a little at a loss, and when Xiaomi finished laughing, he said: "Don't laugh anymore, I just want to tell everyone that I have an enemy, if you don't dislike or be afraid, just take me to the Shadow Palace, otherwise, I think it's safer for me to hide here, how to do it, you still choose carefully, I don't care." ”
It was Xiaomi laughing just now, and now after listening to Ju Zikai's words, everyone laughs.
This thing actually told the elders of the Shadow Palace to choose carefully, and said something like not to dislike if you are not afraid. It's really unbelievable and incomprehensible.
After laughing for a while, Mo Mo said: "We don't have to think about it carefully, I have already decided to want you to join the Shadow Palace, and when the time comes, as long as you obediently eat a little bit of Evil Crystal Crystal, you know Evil Crystal Crystal, right?"
Ju Zikai said calmly: "I know, the Xun Jing is famous, like thunder, but I haven't eaten it yet." ”
I don't know why, as soon as Xiaomi saw Ju Zikai's way of talking with one board and one eye, she wanted to laugh, so she blushed on the side.
Ju Zikai looked at Xiaomi with an innocent face, like looking at a psychopath, and said: "This girl, please respect yourself, you laugh at me like this, it makes me feel that you are very rude." ”
Looking at Ju Zikai's mud without staining, and clear ripples without demons, everyone felt that this guy was very strange.
"I didn't laugh at you, it's just hard to imagine that you can still be so slow and methodical after so many years in prison, so I admire it in my heart. "Xiaomi is a little insincere, and the most important thing is to hide his can't help but be cheerful.
Ju Zikai saw that everyone looked at him strangely, the sweat on his forehead came out, and said: "You guys are really enough, aren't you just going to the Shadow Palace, I'm going to be over, what's so funny." ”
Mo Mo saw that the matter was decided, and he didn't want anything extravagant, so he stood up and said, "Okay, don't forget to eat the Evil Crystal Crystal, we are waiting for you in the Shadow Palace." ”
After saying that, he didn't plan to communicate anything with Ju Zikai anymore, so he turned around and left.
Ju Zikai was like a big nerve and a short circuit in the brain, and when everyone walked away, he suddenly shouted, saying, "Don't worry, Elder, I know." ”
......
......
At this time, Momo's second journey to the dungeon was also coming to an end. As he was about to leave, Mo Mo couldn't help but ask Zhan Jianneng, "Brother Xiao Neng, I have something I want to ask you about. ”
Zhan Jianneng was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's the matter?"
Mo Mo pulled Zhan Jianneng aside and asked in a low voice, "Is there a Gu family member in Fengshen City in the dungeon, the head of the family is Gu Luoqi, who has taught at the Fengshen Academy?"
Zhan Jianneng thought for a while and said, "Are you talking about Gu Liuqi, who was at the top of the list of gods and wizards before?"
"Exactly!" replied Mommer quickly.
Zhan Jianneng frowned and said, "The disappearance of the Gu family has been discussed by many guards in the palace, and it is no secret in Fengshen City. Legend has it that the people of the Gu family were captured by the officers and soldiers of the Divine Empire. But now I can tell you for sure that there are no Gu family members in the dungeon, and I don't know where they went. ”
Mo Mo nodded, finally determined the truth of this matter, and thought that he would have a chance in the future and tell Gu Jingbo.
