After stepping down the dungeon stairs, a long corridor appeared in front of him that was more than ten feet deep.

On either side of this corridor are the cells with stone walls and iron windows.

Niu Yuanping, accompanied by his wife Yan Qianqian, slowly walked on the corridor.

As he walked, he looked around the dungeon.

After looking at it for a long time, I found that many of the cells were empty.

This shows that the criminal court will not easily accommodate prisoners......

After a general observation, Niu Yuanping felt that although the place was a little dark and damp, it was quite clean.

It's not like the kind of prison you imagined, dirty, straw all over the ground, snakes, insects, rats and ants scurrying around.

This dungeon is unusually neat.

made him a little suspicious, "At this moment, in this dungeon, isn't it true that Shen Long is only imprisoned?" ……”

Looking at this situation, there is really a possibility.

If that's the case, it's quite lonely and lonely to be alone.

It's not easy to stay here for a year or two.

Niu Yuanping and Yan Qianqian have been walking to the innermost.

Soon I saw an iron prison door in front of me.

A candle seeped through the crack in the door, indicating that there was someone in the cell.

So they stood still at the door.

Niu Yuanping looked through the gap in the cell door.

Sure enough, I saw a white-haired man sitting cross-legged on the stone couch with his eyes closed.

Gaze at the man's appearance carefully.

Immediately recognized him, he was Shen Long!

As if sensing that someone was coming, Shen Long opened his eyes and looked.

Niu Yuanping looked at him, smiled slightly, and greeted politely, "Lord Shen Long, long time no see."

The man sitting cross-legged in the cell now evoked a smile in the light and shadow.

He said lightly, "Oh...... It's you! Niu Yuanping. ”

"I didn't expect adults to remember me......"

Niu Yuanping was slightly surprised.

You must know that he and the former chief minister only have a one-sided relationship, and they also saw it in the chaotic situation where demons invaded the Demon Division.

Since that day, Shen Long has been taken away by the people of the criminal court, and there has been no news since then.

Unexpectedly, when they meet again now, the other party can still recognize him Niu Yuanping, and he can also call his name.

It's really extraordinary!

"Adults have a good memory."

Unexpectedly, Shen Long laughed after hearing this compliment, "You have been in the limelight recently!" Even though I'm in a dungeon, it's easy for me to hear the news. ”

After that, he nodded slightly, and said lightly, "Congratulations!" Lord Horse, Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

Niu Yuanping thought silently in his heart, "It turns out that I heard the news that I married the princess......

At this time, Yan Qianqian next to her spoke.

"My husband is going to the Demon Slayer Division on this trip, serving as the new director, and temporarily managing those demon slayers before Lord Shen's five-year prison sentence expires!" , Then she smiled slightly, "My husband and I look forward to your return to the Demon Town Division as soon as possible and re-preside over the overall situation."

After Niu Yuanping heard these words, he secretly admired his wife.

"He is so proficient in the way of dealing with people, and what he said is that he is not leaking......"

Who knows, Shen Long laughed and shook his head.

"Forget about the big picture again! …… As the saying goes, the back wave pushes the front wave...... The Demon Suppression Division does need some fresh blood! I have been Director for many years. To be honest, it's a little bit overwhelming! This time it is an unforgivable sin to let the demon invade and cause the lives to be ruined...... It should abdicate and make way for the virtuous! ”

Speaking of this, he stared at Niu Yuanping and continued, "Moreover, I have received a secret order from King Yan, and I am about to be invited to go to the Zugu Cave to accompany the ancestor of the Yan clan to practice the art of immortality!" Now staying in this dungeon can be regarded as honing the closed care in advance and enduring endurance. ”

After hearing this, Niu Yuanping's eyes flashed.

I couldn't help but think that the information I had never heard of before was now known from others one after another...... It's a weird thing.

I can't help but sigh that after becoming a horse master, the channels for getting news have also broadened......

"It turns out that the adults are also like the directors of the Demon Town Division in the past dynasties, and they are favored by the ancestors of the Yan clan and are about to cultivate the art of immortality...... That's a great way to congratulate. ”

However, Shen Long sighed, "Originally, Qi Fei was also qualified...... It's a pity that he can't stand the temptation, forgets his original intention, and will take revenge on the Yan family's old ancestor who taught the cultivation avenue! He even colluded with foreign enemies and plotted rebellion...... Let me, the person who entrusted him with the Demon Suppression Division, also lose face!! ”

Niu Yuanping had to comfort when he heard this, "It's difficult to draw dragons and tigers, and you don't know your heart when you know people!" That Qi Fei's rebellion was not the fault of adults. ”

Staring at him, Shen Long smiled, "You're very good!" …… Now that he has been appreciated by His Majesty King Yan and the heart of Her Royal Highness the Princess, the future is limitless! Maybe I'll be able to go to the Ancestral Cave to practice soon! Then we can meet again there! ”

Niu Yuan smiled indifferently, "I accept your good words."

After pondering for a moment, he continued, "The junior is now a colt and is about to become the director of the Demon Suppression Division, so he should have some rights in his hands...... So I want to help adults get out of this prison as soon as possible and regain their freedom. ”

Who knows, Shen Long shook his head when he heard this.

"I appreciate the kindness of the colt!! …… As I said earlier, I want to adjust my mind before entering the Ancestral Cave to prepare for a long-term retreat and to explore the path of immortality! So I'm going to stay here for the time being, and I ask the colt to stop worrying about me. ”

Seeing him say this, Niu Yuanping couldn't say anything more......

This time, I came to see him at the instigation of his wife and said some polite words.

If by the way, you can give him freedom, avoid crimes, and give back some favors, it is naturally the best.

But since he refused to leave the dungeon, there was nothing else to say......

So, Niu Yuanping pondered for a moment and said, "Since the adults have such plans, the juniors will not be reluctant."

Then he said goodbye to him, "I wanted to stay here for a few more days and have a long talk with the adults, but unfortunately the juniors have to rush to the Demon Town Division to deal with some things...... I won't bother here, I'll visit you another day. ”

Shen Long sat there and nodded silently, "Princess Pony!" Be my guest. ”

Yan Qianqian, who was on the side, said lightly to him, "Please take care."

Then the two of them turned and walked away, stepping out of the dungeon.

While walking, Yan Qianqian grabbed Niu Yuanping's arm and asked gently, "Husband shouldn't have anything else on his mind now, right?"

Niu Yuanping smiled, "No...... It's a lot of trouble for the princess......"

The two looked at each other and smiled, chatting all the way out of the bunker.

After bidding farewell to Liao Shen, the official of the criminal court, he stepped into the carriage again, left the boundary of the criminal court, and continued on his way.

However.

When Niu Yuanping left not long ago.

In the cell deep in the dungeon, a strange smile suddenly appeared on Shen Long's face!

After a while, his body began to change.

The skin and hair began to glow like bubbles.

Immediately, a puff of dry grass and rice leaves came out of the bubble......

After a few breaths.

Shen Long's body, which was originally sitting cross-legged on the stone couch, became a scarecrow!!

Through the light and shadow of the candlelight, you can see that inside the grass body of the scarecrow, there is a white skeleton, hidden inside......

And those white bones are the real Shen Long.

He's been dead for a long time.
