I am a ghost messenger, why do I need a long life?

Xu An's heart moved slightly, and he immediately guessed what the old man meant.

In the Yin Court, where prisoners are detained and interrogated, it is a secretive place with too many techniques.

How to make all kinds of living ghosts who have committed crimes and violated the law confess honestly here is basically the daily work of most of the ghost messengers here.

Over the long years, through countless accumulations and attempts, no matter whether the means used were good or bad, they must have accumulated a lot of effective methods.

And at this moment, the old man actually asked him to perform. It was obvious that to a certain extent, he wanted to see what was so special about him, the Yin Ting, a living ghost who was now in the limelight.

Xu An was not surprised by this situation.

He knew in his heart that compared to the powerful and capable old man, he had no qualifications and not much ability, just like an airborne leader who appeared out of nowhere.

Although Yang Wei said that everything was left to them, it was not easy to get these ghost cultivators who were always respected to obey his orders.

Thinking of this, Xu An looked at the old man and smiled:

"Senior, you're joking. I'm here on assignment from the magistrate. I'm already bothering you, so how dare I ask you to do it yourself? Of course, I have to handle this interrogation."

At this point, the subject suddenly changed:

"However, there are too many ghost eyes after all. The weaker ones among them are probably just suspicions and don't know much about the inside story. It is better to ask the colleagues in the prison to do some work. As for the stronger and stubborn ones, I will leave them to Xu."

As soon as these words were spoken, the ghost officials who stepped into the prison and were guarding the living ghosts could not help but glance sideways.

They obviously didn't expect that Xu An would show no fear at all.

What? Could it be that you, Lord Xu, besides being able to catch ghosts and cultivate land for construction, also have some tricks up your sleeve for torture?

Even if you are a genius, a rare ghost body suitable for cultivation, it does not mean that you are a jack of all trades.

Beside them, the Red and Green Impermanence, as well as the Yin soldiers and generals, all looked at each other, and then couldn't help laughing in their hearts.

In their eyes, Xu An is still the same, always willing to be a conspicuous person.

They had served in the underworld for many years, and they did not dare to show off their torture methods in front of this person.

Although we have to admit that Xu An did several things well.

But at the same time, they don't believe that you can be a jack of all trades.

"Oh? Mr. Xu actually grasped this. This old man is really going to open his eyes today!"

Facing the small difficulty he faced, Xu An not only did not lower his posture and humbly ask for advice, but instead took the initiative to agree.

The dungeon guard suddenly felt a trace of disdain in his heart.

You're just looking for quick success, so what if I let you give it a try?

If you still can't get the answer from asking, won't you have to use all sorts of methods to make these ghosts speak?

As I was thinking about this, a group of people had already walked deep into the dungeon.

The living ghost imprisoned in the black iron cage began to wail and cry out for injustice when he saw Xu An and the others.

The general idea is that Xu An and his men caught the wrong ghosts. These ghosts are all innocent. Even if they were given eight more courage, they would not dare to collude with evil ghosts and attack the ghost messenger.

Xu An frowned slightly. He knew that there must be a large number of innocent ghosts among them.

But there is no way.

He and Yang Wei had already discussed a countermeasure. If they were to perform a show, they had to do it completely. At this moment, he could only put them in an inconvenient situation.

When they reached the deepest part, Xu An looked at the four innate living ghosts that were captured in the Zhao family mansion. They were staring at him with their eyes wide open.

He chuckled at first, then pointed at the living ghost among the four ghosts, who was the calmest and just sat there without saying a word, and said:

"Everyone, how about we each lead a ghost and see who speaks first?"

"Since Mr. Xu has such intention, then I will do as you say!"

Beside him, the Red and Green Impermanence, as well as the Yin soldiers and generals, looked at his confident look and cursed in their hearts.

He's acting like he's sure of winning when trying a criminal. What the hell, why are you pretending?

It's just that Yang Wei values ​​him and he has some ability, but he's so arrogant that he doesn't even know his own last name.

Xu An was a little surprised to see that they agreed so readily.

All along, these people have been sarcastic and harmonious on the surface, but in fact they all hope that he will make a fool of himself. Why are they so easy to talk to today?

It can't be that he is really holding back and trying to suppress himself during the interrogation so that he can stand out, right?

Well, let's create the impression for them that there is disunity among the Yinchai and that they are not united.

Only in this way can you catch big fish!

Thinking of this, the black iron door of the prison was unlocked, and Xu An and the other three each led a living ghost into a separate torture cell.

After entering, Xu An sat down slowly, looked at the living ghost wearing the soul-suppressing lock, and then said:

"Tell me, your master left the Yinting Ghost Hero as he is, didn't cherish the family business he inherited, and tried every means to carry it forward, but chose to become someone else's dog. Why is that?"

The ghost being questioned held his head high, his back straight, and was not moved by Xu An's words at all. He refused to cooperate and said:

"I don't understand what the adults are saying."

"You don't understand, right? It doesn't matter."

Xu An reached out and took out the Yinting file he had retrieved last night from his sleeve and said:

"The master of your family has been in the Yin Court for eighteen years. His reincarnation was supposed to be sixty-five years later, but because he has accumulated enough incense and paid enough, and actively cultivated, coupled with his family wealth, he has decided not to enter the cycle of reincarnation for the time being and has remained in the Yin Court."

"Based on what he's done over the years, he might have some business skills, but he doesn't know the key to cultivation. Yet, a living ghost like him has managed to reach the Purple Mansion realm. Don't you find it strange?"

Most of the ghost cultivators in Yinting do not master advanced cultivation methods. If it were not for Meng Po's premonition that the great catastrophe of the Three Realms was approaching and they needed to improve their overall strength.

The vast majority of ghosts will not practice cultivation throughout their lives while waiting to be reincarnated.

Moreover, during his time in Yinting, Xu An also discovered that it was because ghosts had long lifespans that as long as there was Yin Qi, it was constantly nourished and almost never exhausted.

Therefore, most of the ghost cultivators working in the Yin Court basically do not practice much.

The complexity of trivial matters is one aspect.

It is another reason why it is more difficult for a ghost to cultivate than for ordinary people or even monsters.

Moreover, even if one has lofty ambitions, after breaking through to the innate realm, every step a ghost cultivator takes is much more difficult than that of other cultivators.

Amidst so many difficulties, it is indeed not easy to reach the stage of becoming an immortal.

Therefore, under the premise that one can pass the exam purely by spending time to improve one's cultivation.

Yang Wei had been in the position of Tongpan for a thousand years before he finally achieved divine perfection. This seemed increasingly reasonable.

But this Zhao Guixiong is really powerful.

In just eighteen years, he quietly cultivated to the great perfection of the Purple Mansion under the noses of a group of living ghosts, and also gathered so many innate living ghosts to serve as his subordinates.

How awesome!
