Chapter 15: Unexpected
Following.
In the central open space of the Dragon Prison Prison, a high platform was erected on the ground. On both sides of the platform, knives, spears, swords, axes, hooks, spears and other weapons are inserted. Under the high platform, a certain range of open space is separated by prison guards on all sides, especially in the opposite direction of the stage, which is decorated as a VIP seat.
The high platform is used as a ring for the competition, and the VIP seat is a good seat for the elders of the Xianmen to come to watch. Although the competition meeting was more of a pleasure for the elders of the Xianmen who came. But for the prisoners of the Dragon Prison, it is more like a festival where they can rest for a while. On this day, all the prisoners did not have to mine, and all the prisoners gathered around the high platform and watched from afar.
Qin Zhan was too, Qin Zhan, Feng Beifeng and Bai Sheng at this time were also gathered in the crowd. Among the prisoners who surrounded the high platform, Qin Zhan and Song Zhenxiao were undoubtedly the most eye-catching. Song Zhenxiao stood on the north side of the high sea, while Qin Zhan was on the south side. Song Zhenxiao was majestic, while Qin Zhan rose like a comet, and the people on both sides were faintly in a confrontational situation.
At this time, on Song Zhenxiao's side, Liu Qingzhi, Qu Wushi and Xie Kezhuang were all standing next to Song Zhenxiao. And Song Zhenting was on crutches, standing on the side, with a look of resentment.
After a long time, I heard only an uproar in the crowd, and then a few people came out in a majestic manner.
One of them was the Prison Captain, who everyone recognized. In addition, among the other three, the leader was a middle-aged man dressed in Taoist robes with a ruddy face like a baby. On the right side of the middle-aged man, an old man and a young man walk side by side. The old one is no more than five feet long, and the young face is like Fu powder, young and straight. Although the old and the young do not wear Taoist robes, they are also well-dressed.
Facing the sudden arrival of several people, Qin Zhan saw it for the first time, and his heart was also quite shocked. In his opinion, the one with the deepest cultivation is none other than the middle-aged man in a Taoist robe. The image and temperament of the middle-aged man immediately reminded him of the gods who fought in the sky when he arrived at Ruyifang that night.
Just when Qin Zhan was moved, the prison captain and the others had already arrived at the VIP seat. Several people still respected the middle-aged people, and the prison captain still accompanied the last seat, flattering and talking.
However, until this time, the middle-aged man seemed to be tired of listening to the prison captain's whiskers and horses, and suddenly spoke to him:
"Xiao Zheng, how many years have you been in this dragon prison. ”
The middle-aged man couldn't hear the slightest hint of grandeur in his words, let alone felt that there was anything wrong with his words.
But if the prisoners in the prison listen to it at this time, whoever it is, they will definitely laugh off their big teeth. Because no one would have imagined that the usually majestic and old prison captain would be commanded by others at this moment, and he didn't even have a name, just called "Xiao Zheng".
But after hearing this, the warden of the prison guard also accepted it calmly, and humbly replied:
"My nephew came here when he was forty years old, and now he is sixty out of fifty. ”
"Well, this prison is under your management, and it is also in good order. If I can gain something from these prisoners this time, I will definitely report the credit to the palace master when I go back. When you reach the age of Jiazi, you will be able to get the longevity pill. It is easy to live to be more than 100 years old. ”
The middle-aged man pointed out rather blandly.
"Thank you Uncle Qingyuan for your love, my nephew will definitely do his best for the Taishang Palace, and he will die. ”
As soon as he heard the reward, the warden of the prison guard, who was originally panicked, hurriedly got up again and thanked him.
But at this moment, if Qin Zhan and the others were listening from the sidelines, they would definitely understand why the prison captain would treat the prisoners of the high-level cultivators differently, and they would definitely scold him again for being an out-and-out old fox. It turned out that the merits and demerits of the prison guard were actually related to whether the prisoners could worship the immortal gate.
"You deserve it. Although you are not good at cultivation, you have managed the Dragon Prison for so many years, and you have no merit and hard work. Tell me, this time there are people with good qualifications in the prison, and they may be able to enter my palace. ”
The middle-aged man who was called Uncle Qingyuan asked again with concern about the recruitment of disciples. At this time, the warden of the prison also hurriedly replied solemnly:
"Uncle Yu, there are only four or five prisoners in the prison who have stepped into the Qi Eating Realm recently. But although the number of people is small, the master and nephew think that there are still one or two who can enter the eyes of a few people. ”
When the prison captain said this, the figures of Song Zhenxiao and Qin Zhan flashed in his mind. When he thought of the two of them, as soon as he finished speaking, he secretly thought about it again, and he also felt quite confident. But just as he was thinking so, he suddenly heard someone next to him interject with disdain:
"Oh, Brother Zheng's words, is there any suspicion of exaggeration. As far as Lin knew, in previous years, there were only a handful of prisoners who were fortunate enough to be recruited by the major immortal sects. Why are there as many as two this time, isn't it that Brother Zheng was confused by the Longevity Pill and wanted to use it to invite credit?"
The person who suddenly interjected was the old man who was walking side by side with the middle-aged man. The old man's name is Lin Beitui, and he is a small sect attached to the gate of Taishang Palace, the palace master of Wuming Palace.
The reason why Lin Beitui came to the Dragon Prison this time was not to recruit disciples for his sect, but to take this opportunity to send his son Lin Baichuan to the Taishang Palace. What Lin Beitui planned was to see if the Taishang Palace could not recruit suitable disciples in the Dragon Prison Prison, so as to recommend his son to the Taishang Palace Elder in front of him in a timely manner.
But before he could speak, he heard that the prison guard was urging the prisoner. As soon as he heard the prison captain's remarks, Lin Beitui immediately thought that this would hinder his son's plan to worship the Taishang Palace, so he naturally spoke out in a disparaging manner at the moment.
"The palace master Lin laughed, how can he have such courage below, in the end, everything is based on Uncle Qingyuan's will. ”
Seeing Lin Beitui speaking in front of the middle-aged man and embarrassed, the prison guard was suddenly covered in cold sweat and fell down. Although he was trembling and explaining to Lin Beitui at the moment, he was constantly cursing secretly in his heart.
Because in the past, the immortal sects that came to the Dragon Prison to recruit disciples in the name of the Great Prison actually came here to have fun. In addition, under such difficult conditions as the Dragon Prison Prison, it is indeed difficult to have any seedlings with good qualifications. Therefore, the disciples recruited by the major immortal sects from the prison of the dragon can be said to be very few.
The warden was only doing his best to do this. But among the sects that came to recruit disciples this time, there was also an uncle from the sect to which he belonged, and the uncle asked many times. This is a matter of merit, so how can he not pay more attention to it.
Just when the atmosphere was quite embarrassing, the middle-aged man led by him also saw this and spoke again:
"Brother Lin, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding. I think that back then, my ancestor of the Taishang Palace, with a heart of great compassion, overrode public opinion, and established a dragon prison in the hinterland bordered by the righteous path of the three immortal gates. Although this prison has indeed saved some talents for the major immortal sects, the real meaning is to give another path for the unfortunate. As for whether to exaggerate or not, it depends on what kind of standard is used. I don't know how sure your son is capable of suppressing the four or five prisoners in this prison?"
When the middle-aged man said these words, his tone was still relatively calm. But in his words, he seemed to be protecting the prison captain, but in fact, at the end of his words, he also seemed to point out that he had already understood Lin Beitui's intentions.
And when he heard the middle-aged man ask this, Lin Baichuan, who was handsome and upright on the side, was immediately displeased.
Although Lin Baichuan is not a prisoner, his cultivation is only the same as Song Zhenxiao, and it is the realm of food and qi. But since Lin Baichuan has never taken any prisoners in his eyes from beginning to end.
Just when Lin Baichuan wanted to refute the middle-aged man, Lin Beitui on the side immediately waved his hand to stop it, and immediately defended to the middle-aged man on behalf of Lin Baichuan:
"Oh, I see. It's just that although Brother Zhao is reasonable, Lin still thinks that he looks down on these prisoners. Most of the immortal cultivators in this world are good and bad, not to mention the prisoners in this dragon prison. Although the dog is not talented, no matter how bad it is, it will not lose in the hands of these people. According to Lin, if Brother Zhao wants to find a good talent for the Taishang Palace, why should he go far. ”
Facing Zhao Qingyuan, who was the mainstay of the Taishang Palace in front of him, Lin Beitui already knew his character. Zhao Qingyuan is a bright and upright person who likes to go straight. Lin Beitui saw that he had lost the most appropriate opportunity, so he immediately pushed the boat down the river and directly explained his intentions, so as not to make Zhao Qingyuan dissatisfied.
"Hehe, since Brother Lin has directly stated his purpose, it is not easy for Zhao to avoid something. In this way, let's see the real tricks under your hands, and after seeing these prison methods later, if Lin Xian's nephew is still sure to suppress others, then follow Brother Lin's wishes. Xiao Zheng, you can get started. ”
After Lin Beitui personally explained his purpose, Zhao Qingyuan was not angry, but also stated his position, and then instructed the prison guard.
At this time, the prison guard also felt that he was in a dilemma. With his sleek personality, he is also afraid of being obedient to his brother's affection and losing his sister-in-law, which is really embarrassing. As soon as he heard Zhao Qingyuan's order, he hurriedly got out and went to the stage to explain the rules in person.
After coming to power, the warden of the prison made a series of high-sounding remarks. It's just that there is only one rule in the final analysis. That is, as long as you think you have enough strength, you can participate in the war. But if you are incompetent, it is not a pity to die.
After the prison guard finished his explanation, he was about to call the two prisoners to the stage first, when he suddenly saw that one of them had jumped to the high platform after him. All I could hear was a blatant shout:
"Qin Zhan, the enmity of the past, we will take this opportunity to clear it up today, and if you have a seed, come up and compete with me. ”
It was no one else who said this, it was Xie Kezhuang who was supposed to deceive the good and fear the evil!
