Song Xing: I am cultivating immortals in Qingcheng Mountain

"He is a death row prisoner in the prison."

At the Snowfall Villa, Ji Xue stood at the door, unconsciously revealing a trace of deep thought. The corpses in the south of the city were the death row prisoners in the Sky Prison. Was there something wrong in the Sky Prison, or was there someone who bribed the jailer who was guarding the Sky Prison and took the people away.

"Heavenly Prison~~"

Xiao Se's heart moved. Now that he knew where these people came from, he could investigate. He could follow the clues and find out the whole story.

"That man is dead."

As if she had guessed Xiao Se's thoughts, Ji Xue suddenly opened her mouth and continued speaking.

As soon as she learned the news, she sent people to the Heavenly Prison, but unfortunately, they were still one step too late.

"died?"

Xiao Se's face darkened. This situation might indeed happen in reality, but the other party's swift actions still exceeded his expectations.

Then Xiao Se looked at Ji Xue again, with something strange in his eyes.

Ji Xue shook her head.

"They are not our people. Although the population flow in the southern part of the city is complicated, it is still Tianqi after all. If we want to monitor that area, at most three or two people in the Mysterious Realm will be enough."

Ji Xue knew what Xiao Se meant. They had just discovered the body and the person died right after. In this situation, it was very likely that there was an informer among their family members.

In other words, there was a traitor among their own people.

Fortunately, this was not the case. When Ji Xue learned the news, she also thought of this possibility. Knowing Xiao Se's temper, she immediately ruled out this speculation.

"So, the clues have been cut off?"

Xiao Se's face darkened. This time, his opponent seemed to be a meticulous person.

"Not entirely, but the remaining clues cannot reveal the truth in a short time."

Ji Xue sighed.

Xiao Se nodded after hearing this, and then he spoke again: "During this period of time, let the people of Bai Xiao Tang pay more attention to the movements of Tianqi City. Since the other party has practiced the ghost way of martial arts, if they want to achieve something, there will definitely not be only these few people."

When Tang Lian, Lei Wujie and Sikong Qianluo heard this, they all nodded.

In the past, Gui Ya practiced ghost arts and sacrificed at least tens of thousands of people in Qianlan City. Although there are quite a few corpses appearing now, it is far from that number.

"Xiao Se, do you think it could be the Red King Xiao Yu?"

Lei Wujie suddenly remembered what Taoist Sword Immortal mentioned in Qingcheng Mountain. When he was fighting with the Ghost Crow, Lone Sword Immortal Luo Qingyang intervened. At that time, Xiao Yu was also there.

"It's possible."

Tang Lian pinched her chin. Although Lei Wujie's guess seemed absurd, it was no longer empty talk when the Ghost Classic became a reality.

When Xiao Se heard this, his brows knitted tightly. The ghost arts were inherently evil. If that art was really in Xiao Yu's hands...
"We'll have to think about this matter in the long term, but we have to be on guard against Xiao Yu. Let our people keep a close eye on him. Tianqi must not let the tragedy of Qianlan City happen again."

When Ji Xue heard this, she shook her head slightly.

"That's fine. These Half-step Return to the True Self and Wandering in the Mysterious Realm in Tianqi City are not for show. If Xiao Yu really possesses the ghost cultivation method practiced by Ghost Crow, they will definitely not sit idly by."

When the other people heard this, they were moved. Ji Xue was right. If Xiao Yu really practiced the ghost way, he might not be able to hide it from those people.

You must know that the Nine Nether Ghost Canon practiced by Ghost Crow has made many people jealous because of its extremely fast breakthrough speed and great power, and those in the Divine Wandering Profound Realm are no exception.

At that time, they would probably be the first to get restless. "Mr. Jun Yu is back?"

Xiao Se suddenly asked.

After the imperial examination cheating case, Jun Yu took Zhuge Jingxuan away and did not return to Xueluo Villa.

Now that the imperial examination fraud case has been exposed to the world and even the court has stopped pursuing it, Jun Yu can actually come back at this time.

"They've come back, and so has that scholar."

Ye Ruoyi spoke softly.

She had met Jun Yu and Zhuge Jingxuan in the backyard before. At that time, the two of them were having a pleasant conversation, criticizing current social ills, and showing a lot of scholarly spirit and the desire to make suggestions on how to deal with the country.

"Zhuge Jingxuan?"

Sikong Qianluo raised his eyebrows. This Zhuge Jingxuan was really good at hiding himself. It was a pity that he had helped him pick up books before!
"Ok!"

Ye Ruoyi was not clear about what happened between Sikong Qianluo and Zhuge Jingxuan. When Sikong Qianluo asked, she told him the truth.

"Mr. Jun also said to ask the Confucian Sword Immortal Xie Xuan to come over, the three of them want to have a drink!"

When Xiao Se and the others heard this, they couldn't help but shake their heads and smile bitterly.

But most people present admired Zhuge Jingxuan's character and deeds.

Not many scholars could do what he did, abandoning literature and taking up martial arts, using the sword in his hand to tell the court that if there was no justice in this world, he would seek it himself.

"He seems to be quite optimistic about you."

After hesitating for a moment, Ye Ruoyi spoke again and looked at Xiao Se. Although she didn't say who he was, she knew that Xiao Se would definitely understand what she meant.

"Yeah~~"

Xiao Se shook his head slightly, his eyes becoming somewhat distant. He had thought about where the main problem in the imperial examination cheating case lay before.

Is there something wrong with the system or with the social atmosphere? Methods such as covering names to prevent cheating have been used in our dynasty for many years.

There is nothing wrong with these systems. Ultimately, the problem lies in the atmosphere, or in people's hearts. Dong and Zhu's people formed gangs and factions and pursued personal gain. For an imperial court, this practice has already violated the bottom line. In the later period, in order to consolidate their power, they secretly manipulated the imperial examinations, which was an unforgivable crime.

"The imperial examination lacks the necessary means of supervision, and people's hearts are no longer as they used to be, so it is inevitable that some people will seek profit from it."

Xiao Se said in a deep voice.

When the other people heard this, they all nodded. The world is bustling with people seeking profit, and the world is bustling with people seeking profit.

"If we want to change the current situation, we need to take a long-term view. I plan to set up a separate official position to supervise the imperial examination. All county governments, prefectures and roads should be coordinated to severely punish those who cheat in the imperial examination, regardless of their background."

"In ancient times, people used a tree to establish trust and reassure the people. I want to follow their example and plant the words honesty and fairness in the hearts of all students, so as to subtly put an end to such phenomena."

Ye Ruoyi's beautiful eyes lit up when she heard this, but then she said, "This problem has been accumulating for a long time, and I'm afraid it won't work in a short time."

Xiao Se narrowed his eyes, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. The reform of the imperial examination was the first sword he swung at the world. Moreover, those who passed the list would have to govern the world in the future and serve as role models. He would absolutely not allow any problems to arise.

"If three years doesn't work, then five years. If five years doesn't work, then ten years. We should use these two methods simultaneously. Kill one and warn a hundred. We must reverse the current situation!"
