When everyone heard this, they were shocked and surprised. The fifth elder immediately asked eagerly: "Senior Gu, what is the problem?"
Gu Qingxi put his hands behind his back, with a calm expression on his face, and his tone was full of pride: "The monster deep in the mine is indeed an extraordinary monster, it has the blood of a snake.
Because your mine was opened too much in the past few days, the ore veins were damaged, and a large amount of heat from the warm crystals escaped, which attracted it to come here to hatch eggs.
I have persuaded the monster, and after its eggs hatch, it will leave.
After ten days, the mine can resume operations. However, mining needs to be gradual in the future. If mining is continued on a large scale, a large amount of heat will flow out and other heat-loving monsters will be attracted."
Hearing Gu Qingxi talk about persuading the monster, doubts flashed across everyone's faces.
Convince the monster?
How can this be?
The monster deep in the mine is vicious by nature and attacks people whenever it sees it. It is impossible to listen to people. How can it possibly negotiate with humans?
This is simply a fantasy.
Gong Qiufeng even thought that this senior Gu never went deep into the mine and never fought against the monsters, right? He just hid somewhere for a while, and then came out and pretended to have solved the problem?
He was so suspicious but didn't dare to ask.
After all, the feeling of being struck by the thunder and lightning generated by those weird talismans is still vivid in my mind.
The fifth elder and the sixth elder also looked at each other with some doubts in their hearts.
"I will set up a barrier at the entrance of the mine to prevent people from getting out. You can send people to stay and observe from a distance. After ten days, when the monsters leave, the mine will start working again. During this period, I will be in the city lord's palace.
If you have any questions, please let Gong Moyu pass them on." Gu Qingxi's words dispelled the doubts of the two elders.
Especially when they heard Gu Qingxi say that she would set up a barrier that only allowed people to go out and not enter, everyone present was even more frightened. They didn't expect Senior Gu to know such an advanced formation.
Who is this Senior Gu?
"Your mine needs to be cleaned up. You can find out the reasons for over-exploitation on your own. If the same problem occurs again, I will not take action again." Gu Qingxi said sternly.
The Fifth Elder and the Sixth Elder froze, and subconsciously raised their hands and responded respectfully.
Everyone returned to the entrance of the mine together. After Gu Qingxi quickly set up a barrier that only allowed people to leave and not enter, he took out the flying boat and asked Gong Moyu and Miao Xin to get on the flying boat.
After the Fifth Elder and others looked at Gu Qingxi's gorgeous and exquisite flying boat, they felt that Gu Qingxi had an extraordinary origin.
After Gu Qingxi and the others boarded the flying boat, Shen Zhengqi also climbed onto the flying boat.
"Senior Shen?" Gong Qiufeng looked at Shen Zhengqi's movements in confusion. Although he was confused, he still said, "Senior Shen, you solved the problem in the mine. I haven't thanked you again yet. Please feel free to do so.
I'll go back to the City Lord's Mansion next time..." He also wanted to please Senior Shen and give him some help. Senior Shen is leaving now?
Before Gong Qiufeng finished speaking, Shen Zhengqi waved his hand: "No need, it's a trivial matter. Besides, you have already given me a thank you gift. Senior Gu and I still have important matters to discuss, so we will take the first step."
Gong Qiufeng watched blankly as Shen Zhengqi boarded Gu Qingxi's flying boat, then stood beside Gong Moyu, and finally flew away with Gong Moyu and the others.
Why does he have the feeling that a chicken is flying and an egg is lost?
--------------------------
After the flying boat took off and flew a certain distance, Gu Qingxi turned to look at Shen Zhengqi: "Okay, you can go."
Shen Zhengqi cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much, Fellow Daoist Gu."
Shen Zhengqi was of course thanking Gu Qingxi for not exposing him.
Gu Qingxi nodded, indicating that he could leave with his sword.
As a result, Shen Zhengqi stood on the side of the ship and looked at it, then turned to look at Gu Qingxi sheepishly: "Can you lower it? I can leave on my own."
Gu Qingxi: "???" Why do you need to land on the ground and then fly with the sword?
Shen Zhengqi noticed Gu Qingxi's confusion and scratched his head in embarrassment: "Actually, I don't know how to fly with a sword, but I have a magic weapon that can fly three times a day, and I have flown three times today. So..."
Gu Qingxi: "..."
Gu Qingxi really admired this old man.
You can fly with a sword by building a foundation. Therefore, this old man doesn’t even have a foundation building skill, yet he still dares to cheat everywhere!
Gu Qingxi silently landed the flying boat on the ground. Shen Zhengqi cupped his hands towards Gu Qingxi, thanked him again, then threw off his legs and ran away.
The neat movements and the speed of running made Gu Qingxi and the others stunned.
Shen Zhengqi's legs moved back and forth quickly, running very fast!
Soon, Shen Zhengqi's figure disappeared from Gu Qingxi's eyes.
Shen Zhengqi ran far away, and then he stopped and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He looked back with lingering fear, thinking that he was finally far away from that fellow Taoist Gu.
There was inexplicably huge pressure around her.
It’s better not to encounter him in the future.
But at this moment, he didn't know that once some "evil relationships" were started, they couldn't be stopped.
"How can this old man run so fast with just his feet?!" Miaoxin said with wide eyes, "It's as if someone is chasing him from behind."
Gu Qingxi said with a complicated expression: "Perhaps he is afraid that Gong Qiufeng will reveal his secret if he catches up with him."
"What do you mean?" Gong Moyu and Miaoxin asked at the same time.
Gu Qingxi told the two of them everything about Shen Zhengqi.
After hearing this, Miao Xin shook her head in surprise and said, "What a talent, there is someone in this world who can deceive people better than me. That's amazing!"
Gong Moyu had a complicated expression: "So, he is not from the Qiongfeng Sect. And then he took Gong Qiufeng's generous deposit without doing anything?"
Miao Xin shook her head and said: "That's a bad statement. How can you say that he didn't do anything? Wasn't he whipped several times by the monster deep in the mine? He also received a beating before he got the deposit.
It’s not easy.”
Gong Moyu: "...it makes sense."
"Forget it, don't worry about him. I have opened my spiritual eyes on him. His soul is very clean and he has indeed not done anything bad. Let's go, Miaoxin, is your home nearby?" Gu Qingxi said
.
Miaoxin nodded: "Yes, my home is nearby. I want to go back to get some things, and then say goodbye to the people in this small town."
Gu Qingxi nodded slightly.
"It's a very important thing? Then why didn't you put it in the storage bag?" Gong Moyu asked smoothly.
Miaoxin sighed: "My storage bag is very small. I picked it up by chance. It is already full with the spiritual stones you gave me. I keep all the big things at home.
"
Only then did Gong Moyu understand. He said sheepishly: "I made a mistake. I'm sorry."
Gu Qingxi took off a storage bag from her waist and wiped off the divine brand on it, then handed it to Miaoxin: "Take it, this one is bigger, go back and put your things in it."
"Uncle Master is the best." Miaoxin happily accepted the storage bag. And this was not an empty storage bag. There were many good things in it. Uncle Master also gave it to herself.
Ah, my uncle is more generous than my master!
Just as the flying boat was about to arrive at the small town, several monks in uniforms flew in front of them.
After seeing Gu Qingxi and the others, these people came forward and stood in front of the flying boat. They raised their hands and saluted Gu Qingxi and the others: "Fellow Taoists, please stay. We are disciples of the Qiongfeng Sect. May I ask the Gong family?
Is the mine ahead?"
Gu Qingxi and the others also bowed their hands and bowed. Then they realized in their hearts that these people were probably the real helpers invited by the Gong family.
After the accident at Gongjia Mine, he first sent a letter to Qiongfeng Sect, and then Gong Qiufeng volunteered to pick him up, but was intercepted by Shen Zhengqi on the way and tricked him into returning.
"It is indeed ahead. However, the matter at the mine has been resolved." Gong Moyu stood up and said politely.
After hearing Gong Moyu's words, the faces of several people changed slightly.
