"What are you?" Changqing asked warily.
"Everyone calls me the Grimace Devil. I am responsible for most of the cells in the prison. I can also be regarded as a jailer in addition to the Fanlin Town Prison Director."
The Grimace Demon's voice was full of sincerity and kindness, which was in stark contrast to his appearance.
If you only listened to his voice, you would never dream that he looked like this in your nightmares, and you would even think that he was a gentle scholar.
However, every bone spur on his body and the bloody muscles wrapped around the bones all declared that he was not a good person.
Changqing narrowed his eyes, pointed his left hand like a sword on the black ruler, moved his lips slightly, and said silently in his heart.
Not long after, a bright golden light swirled around the fingertips, extending to cover the Black Ruler Sword, and the golden light shone.
When the golden light lit up, the entire prison cell was filled with howling ghosts and wolves.
All the imprisoned demons and monsters seemed to be greatly stimulated and frightened.
Even the Grimace Demon kept retreating, raising his hands in front of him, waving repeatedly: "Sir, spare my life!"
Changqing looked at the Grimace Demon carefully again and snorted, "Stop pretending to me!"
"Don't dare to deceive your lord, I am really the jailer who works as a superintendent of the jailer in Fanlin Town!"
"How could the Prison Controller allow someone like you to be a jailer?"
"The demonic energy here is chaotic, the demonic energy is raging, and the ghostly energy is intruding. Ordinary people come in and are just disturbed by this aura. It will take several days to recover even if they are not injured. The prison guards and warriors are not willing to come in, but there must be someone here. Guard, someone must bring them out for interrogation.”
"Interrogation for what?"
"The nest is a den with strong characteristics, which will make it easier to kill demons and eliminate harm for the people in the future."
Changqing's face became complicated. How could this thing that looked like a demon but not a demon, a ghost but not a ghost, speak in such a human-like tone?
"Really a jailer?" Changqing put away the black ruler sword and said: "Don't call me sir, I was imprisoned, I am a prisoner."
The Grimace Demon still said respectfully: "The prison guards and warriors who have just joined the Prison Department will be sent in for a formality. There are also many unruly and domineering young men in Fanlin City who will also be thrown here and locked up for a few days. .”
"Then do you think I was sent in or thrown in?" Changqing simply walked deeper into the prison.
The Grimace Demon hurriedly followed, "I dare not make any wild guesses."
The cell doors on both sides of the corridor are also covered with runes.
The prisoners, including demons, demons, ghosts, monsters, and humans, were all covered with bruises and were huddled weakly in the corner.
As Changqing and the Grimace Demon passed by, they trembled all over and did not dare to look up.
There were also fierce ones who rushed against the cell door, bared their teeth and claws, and seemed to want to eat Changqing alive.
Until the end of the prison, near an empty cell, the ground was covered with thatch and a table was placed next to it.
On the table, a large pile of books were neatly stacked, and there was an open booklet.
Changqing walked over and looked at the freshly dried handwriting on the booklet and the brush ink next to it.
"Did you write it?" Changqing asked.
"Exactly." The Grimace Demon cupped his hands, and his ghost-like face showed a bit of the pride of a scholar.
Changqing suddenly discovered that the "jailer" who looked like a demon but not a demon, a ghost but not a ghost in front of him looked more like a scholar.
"Miscellaneous Tales of Wild History."
"Qingyun Travels."
"Eight ways to govern a city."
"Ten Strategies for the Military Formation."
Chang Qing flipped through the books one by one and was immediately surprised that this grimacing demon was so knowledgeable!
History and culture, customs and customs, governance strategies, war between the two countries...
"You wrote all of these?" Changqing couldn't believe it, and even directly launched a hundred-year dream to digest all these books.
However, Changqing was even more shocked.
These are all real talents! Even Changqing was eye-opening!
Many deductions, guesses, and thinking directions are also correct!
Not only that, it also includes analysis of monsters, how to deal with them, and even how to discover hidden monsters, and how to track and capture them...
"Why are you writing these?" Changqing asked.
"Nothing to do." The Grimace Demon replied.
"Why are there no signatures?"
"These are useless knowledge, and there is no meaning in signing them. Lord Fang Lin is not willing to issue them for me."
The Grimace Demon was a little lonely.
Useless knowledge? How could it be useless!
Chang Qing has no doubt that if this grim-faced demon is allowed to leave prison and given a hilltop, he will be able to rise up!
If the leader of the Black Sand Gang that Li Qianfan originally hid was the Grimace Demon, even if the Grimace Demon had no cultivation, ten Wu Youwei would not be able to destroy the Black Sand Gang!
Changqing looked at the desk, books, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, then at the thick dry thatch, and then glanced at the terrifying body of the Grimace Demon.
This body and living environment are so incompatible.
"Were you a human before?" Changqing asked casually, "How did you end up like this?"
The Grimace Demon's expression showed sadness, and he said slowly: "I was originally a scholar."
Changqing had already expected it, but when he heard the Grimace Demon talking about it, his expression immediately turned weird.
"I have no talent for cultivation. I have read a few poetry books and taught people how to read in the town, and I can make ends meet."
"Later, I was lucky enough to meet her."
The unforgettable figure seemed to appear in front of his eyes. The grimace demon's face was full of nostalgia and he couldn't help but smile warmly.
"She doesn't think I am poor and useless, and often comes to listen to my teaching. We have agreed that we will have a broad life-and-death bond, and we will talk to Zicheng."
The Grimace Demon suddenly felt pain and clenched his fists.
His whole body was full of ferocious aura, but he quickly regained his composure.
The Grimace Demon squatted feebly by the cell door and continued to tell in a low voice: "I'm sorry for her. I should have known that I was not worthy of her. I didn't expect that she came from the Xiao family. Although the Xiao family has declined, it is not something I can do." Climb high.”
"She disobeyed the family and wanted to elope with me, even if she gave up everything, even if her reputation was ruined."
"I don't want her to break with the family. I want the Xiao family to recognize me. I don't want her to be with me and not get the family's blessing. I asked her to wait for me in Bailin Town. I want to go to the Imperial City to seek a future."
"I swear, no matter whether I succeed or not, I will definitely come back and marry her!"
"I definitely will!"
"I definitely will……"
The Grimace Demon murmured repeatedly, his voice hoarse and full of tremors. He stretched out his hands to rub his eyes and cover his cheeks, but he could no longer cry a single tear.
"The Liu family of the general does not accept disciples, has no heirs, and has no relatives. The general Baili is at the peak of his power. I went to seek refuge with him, but I was unable to enter because of my lack of cultivation."
"The Prime Minister Shangguan, the head of the civil service, also shuts himself up because I have no talent for cultivation."
"The Nangong family, relatives of the emperor, is engaged in trade and business, and is as rich as the country. But, it's the same."
"It's not that I claim to be noble, but without cultivation, I am useless. In the imperial city, I encountered obstacles everywhere, and I even went to a teahouse to tell stories."
"After all, he is just a clown trying to please others. He has a strategy, but he is just talking on paper."
"On the way back, I fell off a cliff..."
"I failed her after all..."
"I'm sorry for her."
Chang Qing looked at the Grimace Demon quietly, Dongfang Lan had come out of the jade pendant.
Neither Changqing nor Dongfang Lan expected that the scholar He Qing was really alive!
However, it looks like this now!
He Qing wiped his face and laughed again, "But fortunately, Master Fang Lin told me that she did not wait for me, but got married not long after I left Bailin Town. She is living her life now I am very happy and have a son and a daughter. My son is about to get married soon, and my daughter is about to get married soon."
Changqing and Dongfanglan looked at each other, Changqing frowned, and Dongfanglan suddenly became angry.
He Qing continued: "I look like this now, I will scare people, and they don't dare to walk around. The prison department and the military will do justice to God when they see me. But I don't want to die, I really want to see it again One look at her..."
"Even if you look at her secretly and from a distance..."
