This is an underground cave. The ground has obviously been artificially repaired and has its own pattern.
The fiery red magma slowly flows along the cracks, dividing the ground, forming a complex and huge array.
The second elder stared at those white-white eyes, sat on the ground, and said sadly: "There seemed to be more than one stranger on Niutou Mountain last night."
The Bone Messenger stood aside. Hearing this, he just whispered: "So what? Except for wrong clues and murder traps, there is nothing left on the side of Niutoushan."
"Jie Jie Jie...that boy from the Fang family, you just let him go back?"
"if not?"
"Do you really think Dong Ah will protect him?"
"If Dong A doesn't protect him, we will lose nothing except Fang Heling's death. If Dong A protects him, we can see the Taoist Academy arguing with the Criminal Division. Why not?"
The second elder laughed strangely again and patted the seat next to him: "Come and sit with me."
There is magma under your feet, and the hot and terrifying power is contained in the slow surge.
"I'm still used to standing." The Bone Messenger said.
"Today's young people are more intelligent than the last. Looking at you, I often feel old."
"You were born with dark eyes. You were born to be able to communicate with yin and yang. Of course you don't understand the suffering of mediocre people like us." The face of the Bone Messenger is always hidden under the mask: "If you don't have enough talent, you can only use your brain more."
The second elder looked up at him with a smile: "Messenger, do you also think that I am an arrogant fool?"
The Bonebringer avoided looking at each other intentionally or unintentionally, and responded softly: "Of course you are not an arrogant fool. But you should know that I am not either."
"You and the saint have the same attitude."
"Really? It would be my pleasure."
"When Daozi awakens, she will be the Holy Queen. Now that you are on an equal footing, you will always be lower than her. Are you willing to do that?"
"There is nothing to be unwilling to do." The Bone Messenger smiled softly: "They are all working for our religion, how can they be superior or inferior?"
After saying this, he turned and left.
What needs to be said has been said, staying here and always being wary of those eyes is not a good experience.
When the Bone Messenger walked away, the second elder suddenly opened his hands, as if hugging something: "Who would have thought that the Nine Evils Mysterious Yin Formation left behind such a pure Yin Evil? Zuo Guanglie's death was worthy of his death, it was really the will of the gods!"
The magma in the cracks in the ground suddenly flowed back, barely gathering into a skull shape at his feet.
"So, Lu Yan." The magma skeleton spoke, his voice low and hoarse: "Who is the arrogant fool?"
"Jie Jie Jie Jie, of course it's you! Isn't it arrogant enough to provoke Ye Lingxiao?"
The second elder, whose real name is Lu Yan, lowered his head and cast his dark eyes towards the cracks in the ground.
"The plan has reached this point, don't make any more mistakes..."
The skulls dispersed instantly, and the magma continued to flow slowly.
It was as if nothing had ever happened.
…
"Dean! It's not good!"
As soon as Jiang Wang walked to the door of Dong A's courtyard, he saw a senior brother rushing into the courtyard.
Standing in the courtyard, he panted and reported: "The Criminal Investigation Department came to our Taoist Temple to arrest someone, but was stopped by Dean Song, right at the gate of the Taoist Temple! Dean Song asked me to inform you immediately!"
"I know." Dong A stepped out of the room and walked out slowly.
Criminal Investigation Department? Jiang Wang's heart moved.
He guessed that he might be here to catch Fang Heling. Their secret whistle was just gone, so they had to give an explanation.
He lived in Pegasus Lane and always entered the temple through the back door, so he didn't know what happened at the front door.
The senior brother who reported the news led the way, and Dong A walked behind, asking what happened in an orderly manner.
Infected by his indifference, the senior brother's mood stabilized and he told the story exactly.
The matter itself was not complicated, but the Criminal Investigation Department suddenly came to the door and said that a secret sentry responsible for tracking Fang Heling was missing and wanted to take Fang Heling back for investigation.
Xiao Tie, who was teaching, stopped the person in front of the class and asked the Criminal Investigation Department to present evidence first before talking about arresting people.
The two sides were in a stalemate, and later the deputy dean Song Qifang was alerted, and Shan Cha, the executive director of the Criminal Division, also came over personally.
Because the situation escalated to this point, Dong A had to be called out.
There was no emotion on Dong Ah's face. After asking what happened, he had already arrived at the front door.
Two monks from the Criminal Investigation Department were escorting Fang Heling, but Xiao Tiemian stopped in front of them and did not allow them to leave.
There was a circle of black and blue on Fang Heling's right eye, which looked like he had suffered a lot.
On the other side, the old dean Song Qifang, surrounded by a group of teaching students, was also in a confrontation with a large group of people led by Shan Cha.
"Mr. Song." Shan Cha said respectfully, but there was no respect on his face: "I wonder what your intention is in obstructing our law enforcement?"
Song Qifang, who was already old, raised his eyebrows and was about to speak.
The crowd suddenly dispersed.
"Dong Yuan is here!"
"Dong Yuan makes the decision for us!"
Even Shan Cha himself suddenly regained his composure.
"Shan, where do you want to take the students of this college?" Dong A asked calmly.
"Dean Dong." Shan Cha said with a smile on his face: "The Criminal Investigation Department suspected that there was something hidden about the Bing-W mission that had caused heavy losses to Taoist students, so they sent a secret sentry to monitor Fang Heling day and night. But just last night, A secret sentry from the Criminal Investigation Department, a monk from the Zhoutian Realm, suddenly disappeared. The students of the City Taoist Academy are the future pillars of our Zhuang Kingdom. For the safety of the Taoist Academy disciples, we decided to take Fang Heling back for investigation first."
"You say that Fang Heling is related to the disappearance of your secret sentry. Is there any evidence?"
Shan Cha felt ridiculous: "The secret sentry disappeared while monitoring him. What other evidence do we need? If it has nothing to do with him, we will find out after taking him back for a first trial!"
"Then are you going to torture him to extract a confession, or are you going to just search for the soul?"
Shan Cha forced a smile and said: "Dong Yuan is joking. The Criminal Investigation Department has always enforced the law fairly and followed the regulations. How could it be possible to do this?"
However, Dong Yuan showed no mercy: "You are just a small executive. Are we kidding you?"
Speaking of which, the director of the City Daoyuan, the chief executives of the major cities of the Criminal Investigation Department, and the city lords all occupy high-level positions in the major cities. In terms of position, the city lord is slightly higher by half a level, and the dean and the executive should be on the same level.
But there are differences in each major city area. It's just that whoever is stronger has more say.
Just like when Song Qifang presided over the Taoist Temple in the city in the past, it was not uncommon for Shan Cha to break into the Taoist Temple and arrest people. But now Dong Ah is in charge.
How could Shan Cha, a monk at the pinnacle of Soaring Dragon Realm, hold his head high in front of Dong A?
"Taoist disciples may also be my colleagues in the Criminal Investigation Department in the future. This department will never torture to extract confessions." Shan Cha gritted his teeth and promised.
Dong A looked around: "Which teacher has no classes later? Please accompany Fang Heling to the Criminal Investigation Department. Our Zhuang country has its own laws, and we will cooperate with normal inquiries. But if you dare to use the dirty tricks in the prison, I will The court will never allow it!”
"Dean, I'll go. Fang Heling was taken away in my class, and I should come forward." Xiao Tiemian said. He has always been known for being strict, and he also has great respect for Dong Ah, the dean who has a similar personality.
A tense confrontation ended like this. The people from the Criminal Investigation Department didn't dare to restrain Fang Heling any more, they just surrounded him.
Xiao Tiemian was by his side.
From beginning to end, Fang Heling lowered his head and said nothing. But his eyes were very complicated.
Before leaving, Shan Cha suddenly said: "By the way, Ji Sishou will come to Maplewood City in the near future. He has dealt with Dong Yuan in Xin'an City, and he might come to visit his old friends by then."
"Okay." Dong A said expressionlessly, "If the swelling on his face goes away, then feel free to come."
Shan Cha: "..."
He originally wanted to show off his power. But suddenly I felt like I knew something I shouldn't know.
He had no choice but to leave in a hurry with his people.
…
Dong A is like a needle that calms the sea, calming the morale of the Taoist army. From beginning to end, smooth yet domineering.
Only Jiang Wang, who had been following Dong A since outside the small courtyard, noticed that his hand behind his back clenched his fist at a certain moment.
The place "Xin'an City" was specially mentioned, which may have hurt him.
This upright old man was stabbed.
