Seeing that the other party agreed to his request, Shanhe immediately thanked Su Qing.

And Su Qing waved his hand and said, "It's okay", pointing to a pile of papers on his desk and complaining:

"Alas, don't hide it from my junior brother, you see, these books and lists are all applications from dignitaries from various departments. The biggest of them is from the Jishi Academy, the alchemy and the refining room, and I am worried every day, and I don't know where to find someone for them. Therefore, I should thank you for taking the initiative to increase the number of working days. Su Qing nodded with satisfaction, and then opened his mouth to ask:

"But junior brother, I heard from Elder Li that the head of the sect has applied for you to practice in the secret room six times a year, which is twice as much as that of senior brother and me. Isn't it enough for you to use? Bidding for the secret room is not an easy task, for eight hours, spending four or five hundred contribution points, I'm afraid it's a bit uneconomical, right?"

"The auction room is indeed expensive, and what the senior brother said is true. But in order to improve his cultivation as soon as possible, there was no better way for the junior disciple except to buy the demon pill and bid for the secret room. Alas, blame me for my poor talent, otherwise I wouldn't have worked so hard. ”

After hearing Shanhe's heartfelt words, Su Qing also felt a little sympathy for this man who only had four points of talent, and nodded and said:

"The younger brother can have this enterprising heart, and it is really admirable to be an elder brother! Okay, don't worry, I will definitely help you arrange the work. Guaranteed six days a week, no shortage of days!"

"Then thank you Senior Brother Su!"

"Hey, what's polite to me, then I don't know if there is anything else to do with my junior brother?"

After talking about work, Shanhe was going to say goodbye.

But before leaving, he suddenly changed his mind, licked his lips and asked tentatively:

"Senior Brother Su, in fact, Senior Brother has something else to ask you...... Can you tell me about the Spirit Tower?"

Hearing the words "Zhenling Tower", Su Qing's face immediately showed a cautious look:

"Senior Brother Sanke, why are you asking this? That is a forbidden place for our sect, and disciples are usually not allowed to discuss it in private. ”

Hearing this, Shanhe replied with a smile:

"Hehe, it's because people don't tell me about it, but I'm getting more and more curious about it. The last time I asked my senior brother Zhiyun, he refused to tell me more, only told me that it was built by Dong Kuo's head more than a thousand years ago to suppress demon beasts, and now it is used to imprison prisoners. Senior Brother Su, are these true?"

It had been almost two weeks since Shanhe had been on the mountain, and this was the second time he had inquired about the Zhenling Tower.

Originally, he didn't plan to talk to this Senior Brother Su Qing about this matter, but after today's chat, he felt that this person was quite easy to talk to, and he was not wary of himself, so he temporarily decided to inquire with this person.

As soon as he heard that Zhiyun had already told Shanhe about the origin and purpose of the Zhenling Pagoda, and that the other party was a newly accepted apprentice of the master, Su Qing quickly put away his previous caution, nodded and said:

"What Senior Brother Zhi said is true, this tower was indeed built thousands of years ago to imprison demon beasts, and now it has locked up some important prisoners, and it is known as the strongest defense of my Nangong Gate. ”

"Oh! it's really used to imprison demon beasts!" After pretending to be surprised, Shanhe blinked and asked curiously:

"What kind of monster is it that?

"Well...... I don't know very well, I just know that the monster was a scourge in the world at that time, and people couldn't kill it completely, so they built this tower to suppress it. ”

"Oh, I see. ”

Shanhe nodded and touched his chin, paused for a few seconds, and then introduced the topic to the focus of the day:

"Hey, Senior Brother Su, who are the people in the tower now?"

"Now......"

Hearing this question, Su Qing's face obviously showed hesitation, and there was no sound in his mouth.

Seeing this, Shanhe was slightly disappointed, but he didn't give up, and after thinking about it, he said something to provoke the other party:

"Oh, if the senior brother is embarrassed, there is no need to say it, it seems that the senior brother still doesn't trust me very much? Hehe, it's okay, I'm just curious, senior brother doesn't have to take it to heart. ”

In this matter, Su Qing was reluctant to say more, not because he didn't trust Shanhe, but because there was indeed a rule in the sect that disciples were not allowed to discuss the matter of the forbidden land in private.

Hearing Shanhe say this, Su Qing also felt that there was a hidden dissatisfaction in the other party's words. If it were someone else, Su Qing would probably not care, but it was difficult for him not to care about this junior brother of Sanke.

On the one hand, this person is a disciple of the head of the sect, and on the other hand, he also holds two important positions in Jishiyuan and Beast Hunting Village, if he really offends the other party because of this matter, it is indeed worth the loss.

So after a secret sigh, Su Qing finally changed his mind, and replied with a smile:

"Senior brother has misunderstood, how can I not trust you? Of course I can tell you, senior brother, but you must not tell others! If you have to say it, don't say that I told you. In the matter of the Zhenling Tower, the Discipline Court has investigated very strictly, and if you betray your brother, I will be severely punished. ”

"Okay, senior brother, don't worry, I will never tell anyone, let alone betray senior brother. Shanhe assured with a sincere face.

"That's good, hehe. Hearing that the other party agreed, Su Qing opened his mouth and said:

"Actually, I don't know exactly what the identity of the prisoner in the Zhenling Pagoda is. But I've heard that most of them are traitors to the sect, or people who have committed the most heinous crimes in the cultivation realm, and once they are imprisoned in the tower, they will never see the light of day again. ”

Hearing the words "the worst crime", Shanhe felt very uncomfortable, and couldn't figure out how his senior sister had become a great villain? But in order to continue to find out the news, he definitely couldn't reveal it, so he had to nod and deal with it:

"Oh, yes, yes?"

"That's right! There are nine floors in the Soul Tower, and there are ten cells on each floor. The higher the number of detentions, the greater the sin of the offender. Since the Zhenling Pagoda is detained by important criminals with special status, this kind of person is actually rare, and in the past five years, there has been an additional prisoner in the tower, who has just entered not long ago. Su Qing recalled.

Hearing this news, Shanhe's heartbeat suddenly accelerated a little, and he pretended to be calm and asked:

"Oh, he just went in not long ago, who is he?"

"I haven't seen this person, but I've heard that it's a woman, who seems to be a disciple of a traitor, and who was personally imprisoned by the Winter Palace Lord. ”

"A traitor's disciple?"

"Well, it's said to have been decades ago, and I don't know the specifics. After saying this, I heard Su Qing add another sentence:

"Oh yes, that woman seems to have a junior brother. The Hermitage sent dozens of people to the secular world to search for them, but so far they have not been caught. ”
