"Luo Xiao, a disciple of the hall, came to deliver the task of No. 17. ”

In a spacious and bright hall in the Eagle Yang Hall where the task was issued, Luo Xiao handed a jade slip to the young man behind the counter.

This young man's attire was different from that of ordinary disciples, wearing gray clothes and a blue rope girdle, and this type of person was the servant of the Xiuwu Hall, and was responsible for all kinds of chores and document management. They are not Shuwutang graduates, but graduates recruited from Wendeokkan. This is also normal, even the army has civilian personnel, let alone a martial arts academy like Xiuwutang.

The young deacon took the jade sign of the task, saw the words "A Seventeen" engraved on it, and then opened a booklet, searched down with his fingers, and whispered in his mouth: "A Seventeen...... Well, Longyuan Mountain vigilance mission, the time is two months, and the merit points are three...... This junior, this task needs to be reported to the prison first, before you can cancel it and receive merit points. ”

"Supervisor?" Luo Xiao frowned, but he didn't feel surprised, such a big thing happened in Longtan in the deep valley of Longyuan Mountain, as a disciple on duty, it was impossible for him not to ask him. However, it was actually the supreme supervisor of the Xiuwu Hall, which made him beat a drum in his heart.

Xiuwutang is the official office of the imperial court, with the six products "supervising the zheng" general regent affairs, and the seven products "supervising the assistant" as the vice. Therefore, the prison in the mouth of the young deacon is equivalent to the head of a school. Luo Xiao has been in the Martial Arts Hall for nearly three years, and every year when he recruits new students or some major festivals, he has seen this supervisor, but he has never had close contact.

"Yes, and the task marker has been changed to red superlative, please go to the Supervision Institute immediately. The young deacon looked at Luo Xiao's eyes with some surprise, when did a Qingdai disciple be able to have something to do with the red task that at least a high-level disciple could take over?

"Okay, I'll go. Thank you for telling me. Luo Xiao saluted and turned away. Unexpectedly, an ordinary third-level blue task was actually promoted to the highest red level, and he talked directly to the supervisor...... Anyway, the prison is just the prison, but it is just an inquiry, not an interrogation. Even if it is an interrogation, with the psychological quality he has trained harshly, he can resist the psychological pressure of high-level samurai.

Walking out of the task hall, Luo Xiao went all the way to the north, climbed the stairs, and went higher and higher, but the direction was the main peak of the Thousand Feet Peak.

As the administrative place of the supreme supervisor of Xiuwu Hall, it is naturally at the highest place of Thousand Feet Peak, the Supervision Yuan.

Luo Xiao has never been to the Supervisory Office, but that doesn't prevent him from knowing where and how to get there, just like a student who hasn't been to the principal's office but must know where it is.

When Luo Xiao was marching all the way, the young man who received Luo Xiao in the mission hall rolled two small pieces of paper and stuffed them into two small jade bones, turned around and walked into the inner room, came to the carrier pigeon room, opened the two pigeon cages, tied the jade bones to the feet of the two carrier pigeons, and raised his hands to fly.

The highest level of red tasks, once the executor returns, must report to the prison as soon as possible, and the supervisor also needs to be notified at the first time, after all, the supervisor has to deal with a lot of affairs every day, all kinds of inspections and entertainment, etc., it is impossible to stay in the prison for twelve hours a day.

The Supervision Institute is the office courtyard of the supervisor and the supervisor, and there are few pedestrians on this road, and there are only fifty or sixty guards, guards and supporting personnel in the courtyard. If there are only so many people in a large courtyard, the whole courtyard is very quiet.

Luo Xiao walked all the way along the bluestone path, with white walls and red tiles on the left hand, green trees on the right, and concave and convex bluestone polished smooth as a mirror by the years.

Luo Xiao had just walked to the gate of the Supervision Academy, and before he could make a report, the door of the courtyard creaked open, and a young disciple with a black belt around his waist stood on the side of the door and nodded to Luo Xiao: "But Senior Brother Luo?"

Luo Xiao hurriedly bowed and saluted back: "Exactly, this senior brother ......"

"I am Ji Ping, the attaché of Lord Jianzheng, and my lord is waiting in the middle hall, junior brother, please come with me. Ji Ping smiled and made a gesture.

Ji Ping is also in his early twenties, white-faced and gentle, modest and polite, if it weren't for the black belt around his waist, Luo Xiao would almost think that he was from the Wende Pavilion. Ji Ping didn't say much, but his expression was gentle and intimate. Luo Xiao chatted with him for a while while walking, only to learn that Ji Ping had been practicing in the Xiuwutang for eight years, and he was transferred to the Supervision Yuan at the beginning of the year, becoming a close follower of Qin Qianqiu, the superintendent, and implementing a two-year trainee warrior training.

The so-called "trainee samurai" is not a true samurai, but a cultivator who has reached the peak of the fifth order, tempering his body to the extreme, and is only one step away from entering the ranks of real samurai. At this time, there is no point in cultivating penance, what is needed is continuous practice and accumulation, and a glimpse of martial intent. Most of the students in this realm will go out to practice, and those with an identity background can become attachés of the city guard, supervisor, and supervisor to increase their knowledge and accumulate contacts. For these elite disciples with deep foundations and the backing of the big clans, it was only a matter of time before they broke through the fifth order and became warriors.

Luo Xiao nodded secretly, judging from Ji Ping's words and deeds, he does have the demeanor of everyone's children, no wonder the supervisor will choose him as his follower.

From the gate to the middle hall, after passing through the two courtyard gates, only a few guards were seen along the way, and the whole courtyard was as quiet as the outside of the courtyard.

When a thick and simple hall appeared in front of Luo Xiao, his heart jumped slightly, knowing that it was the central hall of the Supervisory Courtyard - although he had never been here, but at that time, all buildings in the world had regulations and regulations, and the location of this hall was in the middle of the central axis of the entire courtyard, and it must and could only be the central hall.

Ji Ping walked up the stairs, first nodded to the two guards under the pillars, and then said in a loud voice: "The disciple of the green belt Luo Xiao has come to see you." ”

A calm voice came from inside the hall: "Enter." ”

Ji Ping turned around and made a salute to Luo Xiao. Luo Xiao nodded, took a deep breath, and strode in.

As soon as he entered the middle hall, Luo Xiao suddenly felt that four sharp gazes swept in, making people breathe suffocating. Looking up, there are two people sitting in the middle hall, the top is a middle-aged Confucian scholar, wearing a square gauze hat, wearing a green robe, in the middle of the chest robe is a green biao complement, long eyebrows and phoenix eyes, three locks of long beard black and shiny, elegant expression, it is Qin Qianqiu, the supervisor of Yishui Xiuwutang.

Seeing the appearance of this person, Luo Xiao immediately understood why he chose Ji Ping as his follower.

Another man in his fifties sat on the left side, dressed in the same attire, except that the bore-tunic was a picture of a leopard. This old man has a mediocre appearance, but his breath is deep and his eyes are sharp, but anyone who has a little eyesight will not despise him because of his ordinary appearance - Pang Yuanfeng, the superintendent of Yishui Xiuwutang, is also a local warrior and the oldest powerhouse in Xiuwutang.

Luo Xiao's eyes only glanced at the faces of the two of them, and his gaze immediately fell on the belt buckle of the two of them - it was a buckle in the shape of a coiled dragon, and the surface of the dark cyan jade was faintly visible with strips of silk-like dark gold textures, revealing a mysterious and noble atmosphere. This is the golden dragon buckle made of lapis lazuli, and only two people in the entire Yishui Martial Arts Hall are qualified to wear this buckle, because this represents their identity, the ninth-order high-level warrior - the Qinglong Warrior.

Luo Xiao's eyes swept away, he looked at his nose, and bowed his hand: "Human-level Ding Bu, disciple Luo Xiao, see Lord Jian Zheng and Master Jian Zuo." ”

Qin Qianqiu and Pang Yuanfeng's eyes were burning, staring at the young man in the hall. But seeing that although this young man is not handsome, his silhouette is sharp and angular, and his facial features are deep, giving people a sense of calm and perseverance.

"Good looks, the kind of person who is reliable and can do great things. Qin Qianqiu nodded secretly, he was born in a big family, Yunwen Yunwu, he had studied a little bit of the art of people, and he was quite able to understand people, so he had a good impression of this Qingdai disciple.

"Are you Luo Xiao?" Pang Yuanfeng's gray eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a pair of thin and narrow eyes revealed a prismatic coercion, and suddenly roared, like Jiao Lei exploded in Luo Xiao's ears, "You are the first person to enter Longtan!"

This roar full of Yuanli sound waves shook Luo Xiao's brain, his heart skipped a beat, and he blurted out: "Exactly." As soon as the words came out, his back suddenly fluttered, the powerful methods of the high-level samurai were really not what he could imagine, fortunately, the plan was made to tell the truth about this part, if he asked another question, it would be bad to leak the old bottom.

In just a moment, Luo Xiao's mind was racing, and he knew that he could no longer let this supervisor control the right to speak at this time, otherwise if he did this a few more times, he might reveal some flaws. immediately preemptively attacked, and without waiting for the other party to continue to ask, he quickly said: "On that day, a meteor fell from the sky, causing the Longyuan Mountain to shake, and it was the disciple on duty, and his duty was to go inside to investigate......

Luo Xiao basically stated what happened that day, and only hid his own gains - of course, he also knew that it would be difficult to be convincing if he said that he had nothing to gain, so he also had a follow-up move. After finishing speaking, he took off the cloth bag around his waist and presented it with both hands: "The disciple only found these." ”

The cloth bag was opened, and inside were three palm-sized, black-light scales and five Jiao teeth with obvious traces of high temperature melting, about a finger long, sharp and faintly revealing a palpitating pressure.

Qin Qianqiu and Pang Yuanfeng's eyes lit up, this kind of quasi-divine beast-level top-level spirit beast, even if it was only a little bit left, it was a priceless top-level refining spirit material, even if the two of them had such identity and strength, they couldn't help but be moved.

Pang Yuanfeng slowly withdrew his gaze from the Jiaoya scales, like a flash of knife light falling on Luo Xiao's face, his gray eyebrows raised, and his eyes were as sharp as Jiaoya: "That's all?"

"Yes...... Maybe you will find something else after careful searching, but at that time, the air was scorching and suffocating, and the disciple's cultivation was shallow, and it was difficult to stay for a long time, so he could only leave. Luo Xiao's expression was calm, and he met Pang Yuanfeng's sharp eyes without fear.

Of course, he is calm, he does not steal or rob, and he has handed over a part of the things he has earned with his ability, what do you want? Of course he is fearless, he has not violated any rules, and he is not discouraged, so what is there to fear?

Qin Qianqiu and Pang Yuanfeng also received reports from Deacon Tan Liu and others in advance, knowing that what Luo Xiao said was indeed the truth, and they didn't hear any flaws from Luo Xiao's narrative, and they could match other people's statements, basically he passed the test.

Qin Qianqiu said with a straight face: "No matter what you get, it is your chance." If you give these Jiao Ya Jiao scales to Xiu Wu Tang, you can get the corresponding merit points, and you can also decide whether to sell them to the refining workshop or not, or I can buy them with Pang Jian Zuo. ”

Luo Xiao didn't think about it, and immediately said, "The disciple is willing to dedicate this thing to the two adults." ”

Luo Xiao was so upright, Pang Yuanfeng was not good at staring at people anymore, his expression eased for the first time, and he nodded, which can be regarded as accepting his feelings.

Qin Qianqiu stroked his beard and smiled: "Thank you so much." Don't worry, we won't ask for your things in vain, I will send these Jiaoya scales to the Treasure Hall to ask Sun to worship the palm, and after the accurate value is identified, I will compensate you accordingly. What do you think?"

Luo Xiao did not allow anything, saluted and thanked him, and then said goodbye.

Pang Yuanfeng stared at Luo Xiao's distant back, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Qin Xian is good at knowing people, in your opinion, about the things on the dragon's body, does this disciple named Luo Xiao still have something to hide?"

Qin Qianqiu smiled faintly: "Cultivating martial arts and establishing a hall for thousands of years, there have long been hall rules and clear training, disciples go out to practice, and the master in the hall does not ask about the harvest, don't peep into the opportunity." Did Luo Xiao hide it, why should Brother Pang care?"

Pang Yuanfeng raised his eyebrows and laughed: "Exactly, exactly, I'm just curious...... Hahaha, come on, let's see what is so amazing about these teeth and scales......"

After Luo Xiao walked out of the gate of the Supervision Yuan, he gently spread out his palms, and his palms were full of sweat. Exhaled vigorously, glanced at the green belt on his waist, originally wanted to be promoted to the yellow belt after the report, but now it seems that it is impossible today, just remove the suspicion and go to the promotion level, it is too easy to make people have some associations, wait a minute.
