I don’t know how long it took, but the old beggar stood up with his back to us.
He slowly turned around and walked up again step by step.
The steps are slow and heavy.
"Is everything you said true?"
The old beggar looked at Jiangyuan, and his face, which was originally full of ravines, seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.
His originally sharp eyes became a little hollow and sad.
"I personally saw her looking for the keepsake you left in the Chief Celestial Master's office, and then I heard her call someone and say -" Jiang Yuan answered word for word.
The old beggar closed his eyes and raised his hand to stop Jiang Yuan from continuing.
Jiang Yuan shut his mouth knowingly.
"She didn't find it."
After a long time, the old beggar slowly opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Half a month ago, the chief heavenly master came to Zhao Prison and told me that the token was accidentally dropped."
At this point, the old beggar suddenly made a gurgling sound from his throat, which seemed to be laughing or crying.
"There is no token. When I gave the token to the Chief Heavenly Master in front of everyone, the Chief Heavenly Master stuffed it back into my pocket. He told me that it would be better for the token to stay with me than with him."
The old beggar raised his head and let a drop of turbid tears slide down the ravine on his face to the ground.
"The chief heavenly master said at the beginning that the token between me and him is that there is no token." The old beggar said in a dull voice.
Therefore, the biggest illusion in the Jiujue illusion that few people in Zhao Prison can break is the bronze pillar that seems to have always been there.
There are no bronze columns in the bronze tower.
Thinking of this, I was suddenly shocked and thought of a point that we all ignored.
This Zhao Prison is originally a bronze tower. Except for the ground under our feet, it is all made of bronze and made of mortise and tenon knots.
I was so complacent that I happened to bring the black gold compass given to me by Grandpa Bai Qi, and used it to smash the last put together multicolored crystal Bagua disk.
It's a pity that I destroyed that black gold compass in vain.
In fact, as long as the colorful crystal Bagua disc is smashed directly on any wall in the bronze tower, the black gold compass will be broken.
As I walked, my face felt a little hot without realizing it.
Lu Xiaohong, who was standing next to me, suddenly pulled my arm.
When I came back to my senses, I saw my father, Coffin Xiaoen and Jiang Yuan walking behind the old beggar toward the steps hidden underground.
Bai Yao and Shi Shi followed them.
Every few steps he took, Bai Yao couldn't help but turn his head and look at Shi Shi.
Zhang Yiqiu glanced at us and followed us.
"Senior Ruan said he would take us down."
Lu Xiaohong said to me softly: "But whether we can convince the Lord God below to let him go depends on how we convince the Lord God himself."
I nodded, and Xiaohong and I followed up.
Coffin and his wife followed us.
The spiritual energy in Tianshi Mansion is very sufficient. In a short period of time, the true energy in their bodies has almost recovered, and their complexions have also improved.
The steps are very long. When you stand on them and look down, it seems like there is nothing there. Everything below the tenth step is hidden in darkness.
The old beggar led us down slowly, and the speed was actually not slow. I counted in my mind, there were about a thousand steps, and it only took about one stick of incense to walk.
Finally walking out of the long steps, my eyes suddenly opened up.
The steps obviously go all the way down, but we seem to have entered another world.
Surrounded by a chaotic fog, in front of us is a stone gate in the form of an archway.
The door is carved with auspicious clouds and auspicious animals, which somehow reminds me of the stone door carved with a flying dragon that I saw in the Jimingshan Ancient Tomb with my father a long time ago.
As soon as the old beggar walked to the door, the stone door creaked open, allowing only one person to enter and exit.
A little fairy boy with exquisite features and dressed in red walked out of the door, clasped his hands and saluted the old beggar and said: "Mr. Ruan, the Lord asked me to tell you that I want to go into the Hall of Nothingness to save people.
Yes, but you need to come back another day. No one is allowed to enter the Hall of Nothingness today."
After saying that, the stone door behind the little fairy child slowly closed again, and the beautiful and delicate little fairy child turned into a scroll and burned spontaneously in front of us.
Not only us, but even the old beggar was stunned, watching the painting slowly burn to ashes in front of us.
Dad and Jiang Yuan looked at each other. Jiang Yuan walked up to the stone door, cupped his hands and said: "Please forgive us for coming here to disturb us. It's just that the shady person locked inside is related to the future of Tianshi Mansion. If
The Lord God really doesn’t want me to enter the Hall of Nothingness, but I hope the Lord God can release the evil spirit and allow us to take him away.”
After waiting for a long time, there was no movement from the stone gate.
The old beggar stepped forward, stretched out his hand to pull Jiang Yuan, and said: "The Lord Shenjun has never changed what he said. How about you guys come back another day?"
"Today's commotion has been very loud. If we can't bring that evil spirit out of the Hall of Nothingness, I'm afraid all the real people in the prison won't believe that we have a reason for what happened, let alone someone who will believe Zhou Ying's conspiracy."
Dad looked at the old beggar and said in deep thought: "I'm afraid not only us, but also Senior Jiang will be imprisoned by Zhou Ying because he covets the position of chief heavenly master."
The old beggar lowered his eyes and slowly said: "There is indeed no clue about the chief heavenly master's appearance or cultivation aura. Although I was frightened and suspicious when he mentioned the token last time,
But there is no other reason to doubt.
What's more, only Chen Chaoran and I know that there is no token, and I did give him the token in front of everyone back then."
The old beggar's meaning is very clear. Even if he believes and knows that what we say is true, he has no evidence to prove that the chief heavenly master is fake.
Jiang Yuan lowered his head in frustration.
"How did you find out that the chief heavenly master was——"
The old beggar paused, as if it was very difficult to say that name from his mouth. He turned to Jiang Yuan and asked: "Is the chief heavenly master being faked?
How did he find out and hurt you?"
Jiang Yuan sighed and spoke slowly: "Three years ago, on the third day after the Chief Celestial Master's wife died of illness, I heard the news that the Chief Celestial Master came to the Celestial Master's Mansion, so I went to his office...
…”
Three years ago, Jiang Yuan was still the guardian spirit of Tianshi Mansion in Dongyue Pavilion Prison.
Because he couldn't stand Dongyue Zhenren's use of power for personal gain, the prison guard system in Dongyuege Prison became increasingly chaotic, so he wanted to expose Dongyue Zhenren to the chief heavenly master.
But who would have expected that first it was reported that the chief heavenly master Chen Chaoran was seriously ill, and then it was reported that Zhou Ying had passed away.
The matter of exposing the real person in Dongyue was delayed again and again.
Until one day, he unexpectedly heard Master Dongyue talking on the phone to the Chief Celestial Master, saying he would be there soon, so he quietly followed Master Dongyue to Chen Chaoran's office.
Tianshi Mansion has abundant spiritual energy, and he is a spirit body, so he followed him all the way, but Master Dongyue did not notice the tail behind him at all.
When they went there, Chen Chaoran was rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the office, as if he was looking for something.
