Chapter Fifty-six: There are mines in the mine, deception
Cao Xiu looked ahead and saw that the Yinfeng Valley had nine twists and turns. Not only was it extremely narrow, but also due to the erosion of the cold wind over the years, many holes appeared on the mountain wall. The places where the cold wind passed by were whimpering, like ghosts crying and wolves howling, which was extremely shrill and shrill. !
Moreover, the dark wind in the valley was strange and unpredictable. It only blew in the valley and did not affect the outside. Even though Cao Xiu and the others were on one side of the valley, they were not affected by the wind.
"You two, follow closely!"
Lin Qi led them to the outermost valley mouth, put away the flying boat, and turned to offer a gleaming orb.
As he activated it with his true energy, the orb floated three feet above his head, and released a five-color streamer shield to protect the three of them. He greeted them and walked ahead.
Of course, the moment we walked into the Shadow Wind Valley, we heard the howling wind around us, just like the shrill howls of ghosts.
And the colorful protective shield outside them suddenly shrank twice, almost sticking to their bodies.
This made Cao Xiu and Cao Xiu feel nervous, and they quickly followed Lin Qi's footsteps.
Otherwise, if an accident really happens, they won't be able to survive the cold wind for long with their strength.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for them to reach a shelter from the wind in just two cups of tea.
The light in Lin Qi's hand flickered, and a seal flew out and landed on the rock wall in front of him.
Rumble!
The huge boulder on the rock wall split to the left and right, revealing the dark hole behind it.
"who?"
Before they could enter, shouts and questions came from inside.
"It's me, Lin Qi!"
Lin Qi agreed. When he saw the person inside, he opened the door and quickly led the two of them in.
"What are you doing here at this time?"
Among the few people guarding this place, the young man leading the charge looked very dissatisfied.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense!"
Lin Qi pointed behind him: "These two are disciples sent by the Daluo Sect to explore the cold iron ore veins. Don't you think the people from the sect should report to you?"
"Ah, Daluo Sect disciple?"
The young man's face was startled, and then he quickly squeezed out a smile, saying that he was not accompanying him, and let a few people in.
"Okay, we're not here to listen to your nonsense."
Lin Qi waved his hand: "Hurry up and lead the way and take the two envoys to see the situation of the mineral veins!"
"Haven't we already explored it several times? Why do we continue to explore it?"
The young man frowned, but he just complained twice and consciously led the way.
"What do you call this brother?"
Cao Xiu looked at the young man and asked.
"I'm Lin Muyang."
"It turns out to be Brother Lin!"
Under the dim light in the mine, Cao Xiu's eyes moved slightly.
Why are all the people named Lin receiving them?
Coincidence?
However, this emotion was only fleeting, and he turned to: "Brother Lin, can you tell us about the situation in this mine?"
“There’s actually nothing much to say here, it’s just an exhausted mineral vein.
The Great Luo Sect sent the inner sect elders to investigate half a century ago, and the conclusion given is that the mineral veins have been exhausted, and it is very rare to be able to sustain it until now."
Lin Muyang seemed to be respectful and polite to them, but maybe he was young and vigorous, or his age and cultivation level were higher than those of the two outer disciples of Daluo Sect, so it could be heard from the tone of his words that he was actually towards them. The two of them were a little disapproving.
In particular, the monks sent by Daluo Sect to investigate over the years have become increasingly weak. This year, they even directly brought in two low-level outer disciples.
I'm afraid this so-called exploration is just a formality to see if we can continue to produce some resources.
"That's it!"
Cao Xiu didn't worry, after all, their strength was indeed not that great, and it was normal for them not to be recognized by others.
Now a group of people walked along several large mines as if they were just watching, and the young man planned to take them back.
"Eh……"
Cao Xiu reached out and grabbed his arm: "Brother Lin, don't you want to see those small mines?"
"What's so interesting about this?"
Lin Muyang was obviously a little unhappy: "The elders of the inner sect have said that they are exhausted, so why bother doing it?"
"Haha, since the sect has sent us senior brothers here, we have to do everything in a complete way."
Cao Xiu smiled and said: "If Brother Lin is not willing to lead the way, then you can arrange two miners who are familiar with the road for us!"
Lin Muyang's expression changed: "Forget it, since you two want to go through all the mines, I will accompany you. There is no reason to leave you alone halfway."
Now he led the way again, leading them towards the small mines.
It's just that some places are too narrow and difficult to walk. In the past, people who were not working for mining had to bend down or even climb in. Cao Xiu didn't push too hard in these places. He just scanned them with his spiritual consciousness and made sure that the situation was similar to what the other party said.
I won’t read more.
"Hey, what's going on in this mine?"
Cao Xiu pointed to a mine buried under rubble and asked strangely.
"Here, because no ore could not be dug, a steward forced the miners to dig through this place to see if they could dig out cold iron.
As a result, Hantie was not dug out, but collapsed, killing and injuring many people!"
"That's it!"
Cao Xiu looked at Lin Qi who seemed to be careless, then squinted his eyes at the narrow mine that was completely blocked, and nodded: "In that case, there is nothing interesting to see.
It’s so cold underneath the mine, let’s walk through the rest of the mine quickly so we can get out of here as soon as possible!”
"Yes, although there is no dark wind blowing in the mine, but if you are in the valley of the dark wind, how can you live a good life?"
Lin Qi smiled and stretched out her hand, leading them to another small mine not far away.
But he didn't notice that behind Cao Xiu, there was a faint and graceful figure disappearing.
Even though Cao Xiu and others were all monks, it still took them most of a day to visit all the mineral veins.
The last few people returned to the entrance to the mine and rested temporarily in the stone house.
Cao Xiu made an excuse to ask about the details of the mine, but did not leave immediately. He rambled for a long time before nodding with satisfaction: "Okay, thanks to Brother Lin today, we have a thorough understanding of the mine.
.
We will report the details when we return to the sect, and I hope the sect will not ask you to go to the mine again."
"That's great!"
A smile appeared on Lin Muyang's face: "It's really uncomfortable to stay in this dark and cold mine all day long. If the sect closes this abandoned mine, I can return to my family and practice well."
"Haha, Brother Lin will definitely get what he wants!"
Cao Xiu smiled, and suddenly a look of embarrassment appeared on his face: "Cao's cultivation is shallow and he has never made a living. He wants to find a place where grains are reincarnated to solve the problem. I'll bother Manager Lin Qi to escort us away later!
"
"Easy to say, easy to say!"
A smile appeared at the corner of Lin Muyang's lips, and he pointed towards the mine not far away: "Brother Cao, go over there!"
"Okay, everyone, wait a moment!"
Cao Xiu walked over, holding his stomach in embarrassment.
But when he entered the mine and turned the corner, no one saw him. He immediately straightened up and looked at the female ghost who appeared quietly: "How?"
"The master predicted it well, there is indeed a problem here!"
Bai Lian'er held a crystal clear stone in both hands and handed it over.
Cao Xiu stretched out his hand to take it, and after taking a look, his expression suddenly changed.
With a backhand, he took Bai Lian'er into the cave: "Be careful, the walls have ears. Let's talk about it after we go back!"
