After coming out of Nan'an Temple, Zhan Zhao quickly went to the Imperial Academy and told Gongsun that the two heads might have been found.

Gongsun took Dynasty Mahan and the government servants to Lao Liu's house first.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang took Suoli, who kept complaining that he was hungry, to Taibai Residence.

Asking for a private room on the third floor, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang ordered some food for Suoli and sat aside to observe him.

Suoli seemed to be in a good mood after eating, so he looked at Zhan Zhao, "The warden said I will do whatever you ask me to do, tell me what you want me to do!"

"Warden?" Zhan Zhao asked, "That old man just now?"

"Yeah." Suoli nodded.

"Do you...Do you think Demon Prison Island has anything to do with my grandmother?" Zhan Zhao has been curious since just now. Could he be a relative?

"Grandma?" Suoli scratched his head and seemed puzzled, "What grandma? The Demon Prison Island is a male prison, and there are no women."

"Is it really a prison?" Mr. Wu always thought it was just the name of an island. There are names like "Alcatraz Island, Monster Island" in the sea, but he didn't expect it to be really a prison.

"Then how do you say the warden is a relative of my grandmother?" Prisoner Zhan Zhao muttered.

"Warden... Oh, I seem to have heard that the niece of the second daughter of the third aunt's family later became the wife of the Immortal King..." Suoli patted his head.

Zhan Zhao has no place to complain. What kind of seniority is this? His relatives are too far away!

"Aren't all prisons under the jurisdiction of the imperial government?" Zhan Zhao couldn't figure it out. "Where is this Demonic Prison Island? Does it belong to my Song Dynasty? Which sea area is it in? To the east or south?"

Suoli tilted his head and looked at Zhan Zhao, "What does the Demon Prison Island have to do with the Song Dynasty? When there was the Demon Prison Island, the Song Dynasty was not yet there, and the Demon Prison Island is in the west."

"Where is the sea to the west?" Zhan Zhao was even more confused, "Could it be an island in the lake?"

Suo Li looked at Zhan Zhao speechlessly, "Aren't you a descendant of the Eagle Dynasty? Why don't you understand anything?"

Zhan Zhao blinked - is there anything about the Eagle Dynasty here?

The fifth master held the wine glass and listened while shaking his head - Mao'er's relatives actually don't worry too much...

"The Demon Prison Island belongs to the Eagle Dynasty and was built by the Eagle King." Suo Li said, "And the Demon Prison Island is not an island, it is a sand island."

"Sand island?" Zhan Zhao was surprised, "So it's an island in the desert? Is there no water?"

"There is water, real water and fake water. There is sea around the island, but it is a mirage on the desert. There is water underground, and there are springs on the sandy islands."

"Is it similar to the Sea of ​​Ghosts?" Bai Yutang thought of the lost city in the Sea of ​​Ghosts. Although there was nothing left at the moment, only a turtle shell mountain was split in two.

"Ghost sea?" Suoli showed a look of disdain, "How big is the ghost sea? The sand sea is at least ten times as big as the ghost sea. There is only desert in the ghost sea, but there is hell in the sand sea!"

"Hell?" Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both looked at Suo Li, "A place of hell?"

"Yes, Demon Prison Island is the entrance to Hell, so it is the safest prison in the world." Suoli said proudly, "In front is the endless sea of ​​sand, and behind is Hell. As long as you are locked up on Demon Prison Island

The prisoner has no possibility of escaping..."

"But the Eagle Dynasty has been destroyed for so long. Is the Demon Prison Island still operating?" Zhan Zhao felt that he knew too much at once and it was a bit difficult to understand. "Then who will pay the salaries to the jailers?"

Suo Li was speechless, "I have said that Demon Prison Island is isolated from the world. When the Eagle King built Demon Prison Island, he did not expect that the Eagle Dynasty would be destroyed so quickly. It was all planned to exist for eternity.

.So the Demon Prison Island is self-sufficient in everything, and it is not a problem to maintain it for hundreds of years... Moreover, being isolated from the world also has the advantage of being isolated from the world. No matter how chaotic the outside is, it will not affect the inside."

"Are there still prisoners there?" Zhan Zhao felt that the problem was serious.

"Devil Island was destroyed by a man a hundred years ago." Suoli was dissatisfied, "Didn't I just say that!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang shook their heads together, "You didn't say..."

"Didn't you say it?" Suoli scratched his head, "Then I don't know very well. I'm still young...I don't even know what happened in the past."

"How old are you?" Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at Suoli up and down. This guy must be in his forties or fifty?

"I...eighteen?" Suoli clapped his fingers.

"Who are you lying to?" Zhan Zhao snatched the wine glass from his hand and asked him to finish his sentence first.

Suoli said "Alas" and waved his hand, "The four seasons on Demon Prison Island are chaotic and reverse day and night, and it is impossible to tell the time. We all regard the gentian tree as one year old when it blooms and bears fruit. From my birth to this year, I am exactly eighteen.

The first time it blossomed, so I am eighteen!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang didn't care how old he was, they were just more interested in the gentian tree.

"What kind of tree is the gentian tree?" Bai Yutang held the green gentian, "An evergreen gentian tree? What does it look like specifically?"

"Well..." Suoli crossed his arms and seemed troubled, "How can I explain it to you? If you have the chance, it would be better to take a look for yourself... The Demon Prison Island is a sand island or a suspended island.

"Xuankong?" Zhan Zhao had no imagination.

The Fifth Master is quite familiar, and sounds close to "The Island in the Sky".

Suo Li reached out to dip some wine in the glass and drew a picture for the two of them on the table.

"Have you ever seen a desert?"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both nodded.

"The desert is one dune after another, right?" Suo Li drew on the table, and the continuous sand dunes got higher and higher. "The terrain of the sand sea is actually lower on both sides and higher in the middle, so the process of entering the sand sea

, it’s an uphill process.”

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at the watermark on the table.

"There is the highest dune among them, called Devil's Ridge." Suoli tapped his finger on the table and made a row of water marks. "On the ridge of this dune, there are traces blown by the wind.

Just like the human backbone, it looks like the arched back of a thin man lying on the ground from a distance. There is a legend that an evil ghost had his head cut off before entering hell, so he crawled at the entrance and was covered with yellow sand.

, formed this mountain.”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang began to imagine that scene.

"Go to the top of Devil's Spine and you will reach the first level of Devil's Prison Island."

"Does the Demon Prison Island have many levels?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"We have already said that this is the Demon Prison Island, the entrance to hell. How many levels are there in hell?"

"Eighteen floors..." Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were both surprised, "There are eighteen floors on Demon Prison Island?"

"Yeah!" Suoli nodded, "It's a cone-shaped black stone mountain with a big top and a small bottom, like a suspended island."

After being described like this, Fifth Master had a clearer picture. After all, Bai Yutang had lived on the island for a long time and had seen many pictures of the island... Only a small part of it was actually exposed on the sea, and most of it sank under the sea.

, it is an inverted cone shape.

"The Devil's Prison Island is divided into an island and a prison." Suoli couldn't draw it at the moment, so he could only draw it for the two of them, "The upper part is the top part of the Devil's Spine, which is the part of the island. The jailers basically live there.

There, the area is like an island. It is very hot and has many palm trees. When you sit on the island and look around, you will see mirages. To the naked eye, it looks like a vast ocean... but in fact there is nothing around.

Entering the 'sea', there are sand dunes or tens of thousands of heights beyond the sand dunes, and you will fall to your death."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang could only imagine and sigh at this moment, "That's it..."

Below the island is the Black Stone Prison, which is divided into eighteen floors. Prisoners are imprisoned according to their level of danger. Each floor has its own dedicated jailer. The higher the floor, the more powerful the jailer.

"The gentian tree is a kind of vine. Generally, tree vines grow upward, but the gentian tree grows downward." Suo Li seemed not too sure when he said this, "This gentian tree grows on

Outside the devil's prison, there is a vine from top to bottom. There are colorful leaves on the vine. It will bear fruit, but it only takes a long time to bear fruit. Sometimes it only blooms but does not bear fruit. The gentian tree is very magical. Everywhere in hell

The first layer will bear fruits of different colors, which is said to be related to the evil spirit and hostility of the prisoners in the devil prison. And at the bottom, close to hell, there will be that leaf..."

While talking, Suoli pointed at the amber in Zhan Zhao's hand, "Just this little leaf."

"Is there anything special about this leaf?" Zhan Zhao took out the amber and looked at it.

"There is often amber under the gentian tree. It is formed by the sap of the gentian tree sliding down the vines. Occasionally, there will be this kind of amber that just wraps the leaves." Suoli asked Zhan Zhao to put it away, saying that it was very precious.

, "Look carefully, there is a white bead under the leaf."

Zhan Zhao picked up the amber and looked at it carefully, and Master Wu also leaned over to take a look.

Indeed, there was a small leaf wrapped in amber, and underneath the leaf was a lavender ball.

"This is the seed of the gentian tree." Suoli said, "You need this seed to cultivate the gentian tree, which is to bury the whole piece of amber in the sand."

"So can gentian trees grow from this amber?" Zhan Zhao was surprised.

"It's not that easy." Suoli held out three fingers, "If you want to plant a gentian tree, you need to meet three conditions."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both listened carefully.

"First of all, there must be strong sunshine and strong temperature difference." Soli said, "It is a desert environment."

"Oh..." Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both nodded. It was difficult to meet just one condition.

"The second is that it requires a lot of groundwater. The gentian tree is also called a water-absorbing tree. It needs a lot of water. Without enough water, it will not bear fruit." When Suoli said this, he coughed and said seriously, "Finally

One condition, which is the most critical condition, is that the seeds of the gentian tree need something to grow. Without this thing, even if the first two conditions are met, it will not germinate."

"What conditions?" Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang felt that the legend was starting to become increasingly outrageous.

"Need the blood of the undead royal family."

Zhan Zhao raised an eyebrow - it was indeed unreliable.

"It's true!" Seeing that Zhan Zhao didn't believe it, Suo Li raised his voice and emphasized, "There are only two gentian trees in the world, both of which are in the Demon Prison Island. The big one was planted by the Eagle King himself.

, I watered it with my own blood. The second tree is smaller..."
