The storage bag contains several formation disks and several spirit stones.
The entire set of spiritual stone mining arrays, in addition to the condensing array, also has a sub-array, which is composed of several array disks and is distributed around the spiritual veins. It has many functions such as confining spiritual energy, stabilizing the mineral veins, and sorting out the yin and yang and the five elements.
It's just that these array disks have been used for a long time, and some need to be added with spirit stones, some need to be repaired for damage, and some have to be replaced directly due to various faults.
What Zhao Lian has to do now is to check these formation disks one by one within a day, replace those that should be replaced, and add spiritual stones to those that should be added.
This work is very hard. It takes almost hundreds of miles to complete all these dozens of formation disks.
This is no ordinary mountain road, but a tunnel deep underground!
Most of these corridors are dug when setting up formations. It is impossible to open up a spacious and accessible avenue for you, which is just barely passable.
The journey is rugged and difficult, and due to the mining of spiritual energy, there will be landslides and subsidence in some areas. If you are not careful, you will fall and your life will be difficult to save.
Therefore, this kind of dangerous and tiring work is naturally given to the most bullied person in the team.
What's more, Zhao Lian himself knows a little about formations, so sending him there makes sense!
…
Today looked no different from the past. Zhao Lian took the storage bag, turned around and left without saying a word.
Although he was angry in his heart, he did not dare to show it at all.
They don't even dare to do the mindless act of destroying the array to vent their personal anger.
Once, when a certain array disk he brought back was sent to the sect for repair, someone said, "There are traces of man-made damage."
This rejected the warranty and instead charged a fee.
When he came back, not only was he beaten half to death, but the cost of repairs was also deducted from his mother's meager salary.
From then on, he was careful not to break anything again.
Zhao Lian was familiar with the road and soon arrived at the place where the first array plate was placed.
He squatted down, fired a spell, took out the exposed formation disk and observed it. After confirming that everything was normal and the spirit stones were sufficient, he put it back to its original place. Stand up and walk to the next place.
Several hours have passed, and he has walked sixty or seventy miles of tunnels and inspected more than twenty array disks.
In the storage bag, there are also four missing spiritual stones with sufficient spiritual energy, and four more incomplete ones with dull luster.
These remnants, with at most 20 to 30% spiritual energy left, are worth about ten spiritual drops. They are the most important oil and water for the guard, and they must be handed over in full.
Two array plates were also replaced.
After walking such a long way, he only ate two steamed buns and was already hungry and tired.
The dim light illuminated a stone on the right side in front of it. It looked like a pillar where you could sit and rest for a while.
He stumbled over, sweating profusely, and feeling like he was about to collapse.
Being dizzy and having only one eye, he lost his correct direction.
Step by step, he stepped out of the corridor and headed towards the darkness on the right.
One step, two steps, there seems to be a long gap here.
His feet crooked and he fell to the ground. Before he could get up, his body was out of control and rolled towards the gap that was about a foot wide.
Bang, fall down.
…
When Zhao Lian woke up, the night pearl in his hand was still glowing dimly.
The pain all over my body was unbearable, and I didn't know how high I had rolled down.
He took a few breaths, then looked up and looked around, and found that he was in a natural stone cave, filled with upside-down stalactites and upright stone pillars like trees.
Three feet above his head, there was a dark shadow, which was probably the entrance where he fell.
However, looking at the smooth stone walls around him, he couldn't help but laugh miserably. In his current state, there was absolutely no way he could climb up.
Beneath him, there is a pool of shallow water. If not, he might have broken his bones just now.
However, the water was too cold, and all his clothes were soaked, making him shiver uncontrollably.
Zhao Lian struggled to get up and started looking for other exits along the cave.
After walking not far, I felt completely hopeless. Apart from the place just now, there was no other gap.
Do you want to be trapped in this place and die silently?
There was a strong feeling of unwillingness and resentment in his heart——
Why!
Why does God do this to me?
It seemed that God really heard his roar. He walked another hundred feet and suddenly found a piece of darkness about a foot in diameter under the stone wall in front of him.
Zhao Lian, who had lived underground for several years, could tell at a glance that this was a cave!
When he took two steps closer, his pupils suddenly shrank!
There are words on the ground!
He brought the luminous pearl to his eyes and saw two words engraved on it——
Hell!
These two words are somewhat vague, and I don’t know how many years they have existed.
Zhao Lian's heart was pounding: Could it be that down here is the legendary Hades?
I……
As he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard an emptying sound in his stomach.
Staying here will lead to death sooner or later, why not go down and take a look!
A trace of ferocity flashed across his face, and he was determined in an instant.
Turn around and lie on the ground, slowly insert your feet into the hole, loosen your hands, and slide in...
…
The wind was whistling in my ears, my body was bumping and rising, and I didn't know how deep I had fallen.
Gu Nao "Plop!" and finally fell into a deep pool, with water splashing up to Lao Gao.
The water here was even colder and biting. He swallowed several mouthfuls in a row, mustered up his strength and swam to the shore, gasping for air.
After regaining some strength, he got up and continued searching.
His intuition told him that there might be something in this place.
I don’t know if it’s a living person or a ghost?
Soon, he got his answer.
After groping for a few hundred steps, I turned around a stone wall and suddenly bumped into something in front of me!
Ten feet away, something like a skeleton was staring at him expressionlessly!
If you look closely, you will see that he is a haggard old man!
It's just that his appearance is too terrifying, his face is like a skeleton, and a pair of eyeballs are out of the frame. The cheekbones are protruding and the cheeks are sunken. If the upper and lower jaws were not wrapped by a layer of skin as thin as paper wings, it seems that it will fall off soon. The bones of the body are exposed, and there is no trace of flesh and blood.
If it weren't for the stone wall behind it, it seemed like it might be blown down by the breeze at any time.
When Zhao Lian suddenly saw it, he suddenly felt a sense of fear, and the luminous pearl in his hand clattered to the ground.
I don’t know if this noise alarmed this person, but an old voice sounded in the darkness:
"Who are you?"
His voice was dry and hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken for many years.
"I...I..." Zhao Lian stepped back step by step, too shocked to speak.
"Are you afraid of me?" the old man said angrily. Along with this anger, a powerful breath came out of the body inadvertently.
This aura even surpasses that of the head of the Zhao family in the later stages of foundation building!
Zhao Lian was trembling all over and looked at the old man involuntarily. But I saw that he was wearing a coarse linen robe. Although it was dilapidated, it could be vaguely seen that it was the same as what he was wearing!
A thought occurred to him, could this person have the same experience as himself?
"Junior Zhao, Zhao Lian, this is..."
"Your surname is Zhao?" Before Zhao Lian could finish his words, he saw the old man suddenly became furious. He stretched out his hand and a cane suddenly appeared and tied him tightly!
…
Half an hour later.
"You mean, you were framed and ended up in this hellish place?" the old man asked. At this time, he had put away the cane and his tone was much gentler.
"Yes, yes, cough." Zhao Lian coughed several times. The old man was so angry that the cane almost strangled him to death.
"Although this junior is a direct descendant of the Zhao family, my father has no spiritual roots and his status in the family is not high." Zhao Lian considered his words and continued:
"Later, the family checked the accounts and found that something was missing, so they blamed my father, causing my family to lose everything..."
"Maybe it was your father who was greedy." The old man sneered.
"Absolutely not! My father is not such a person!" Zhao Lian roared, even forgetting the terror of the old man at this moment.
Unexpectedly, the old man just chuckled and didn't argue with him.
"Later, during the sect selection, the person who harmed me slandered me in front of the great elder..."
"Later, in Langshan Secret Realm, I secretly changed his teleportation token. Unexpectedly, this person went to bewitch the monster monkey, killed a casual cultivator, took away a token, and ran out..."
"He killed casual cultivators at will just to get out on his own?" the old man asked solemnly.
"That's right," Zhao Lian nodded: "This person's cultivation is only at the fourth level of Qi training. If he doesn't persuade the demon monkey, where can he get the token?"
Zhao Lian told all the grievances and resentments between himself and Yang Zhen over the years. Many of them were his conjectures, and there were also many words to cover up his faults. But the general storyline is not bad.
Many of these words he had kept in his heart and had never spoken to anyone. At this time, under the pressure of the old man, he spoke out everything. I just feel a lot more relaxed in my heart. Even if I am going to die, I still feel cowardly.
"This man deserves to be killed!" the old man said through gritted teeth, his voice cold to the bone.
"Who are you, Zhao Yunya, and where is he now?" he asked suddenly.
"He, he is the fourth elder of the family. He and I are both descendants of Patriarch Yun Jun, but he has been out of the fifth server." Zhao Lian said in a trembling voice, and he could hear deep resentment from the old man's mouth.
Zhao Yunya was suspended as an elder back then. After all these years, the punishment has long expired and his status as an elder has been restored.
However, Zhao Lian would naturally not tell these trivial details to the old man in front of him.
"Hmph!" The old man's eyes were filled with fierceness. He suddenly stared at Zhao Lian and asked word for word: "That man treated you like this. Not only did the Zhao family not help you, but they also blinded you and distorted your face. They sent you to Do you hate them in this dark place?"
"Hate!" Zhao Lian replied without hesitation as veins popped up on his forehead as he thought of all the experiences he had experienced in the past few years.
He hates Yang Zhen, he hates Zhao Yue'er, he hates the eldest elder, he hates Zhao Ying who took away his opportunity, he hates Zhao Beiqing who is aloof, he hates the ten elders who didn't help him thoroughly, and he hates the clan members who avoided him after he was in trouble. ——
He hates everyone in the Zhao family!
"Okay!" A smile appeared on the old man's withered face, which was even more frightening: "Then, do you want to take revenge on the Zhao family?"
"Think!" After Zhao Lian shouted, he said bitterly: "Except for my parents, everyone else in the Zhao family can be killed!"
The old man stared at him for a long time. Seeing that his face was ferocious and emotional, and he didn't seem to be hypocritical at all, he couldn't help but nodded secretly:
"How pitiful I am, I never thought that before I, Ren Changsong, died, those two words left at the entrance of the cave decades ago actually sent me a disciple!"
"Having learned from my mistakes, this boy can definitely avoid my fate of being stiff and exhausted, and get out of this place!"
"Zhao Yunya, you took away my lover and brought me to this tragic situation! I, Ren Changsong, have no hope of revenge in this life, but someone will eventually avenge me, so just wait! Haha!"
"Okay," Ren Changsong's wrinkled and shrunken face was full of smiles: "You make a vow to your inner demons that if you escape from this place in the future, you will do your best to take revenge on the Zhao family, especially..."
His tone was cold: "Kill Zhao Yunya!"
"Yes!" Zhao Lian's heart was pounding. From the old man's words, he heard that there was a way to escape from this place, and he immediately said loudly: "I, Zhao Lian, hereby swear on my inner demon..."
"In this life, I will fight with the Zhao family until death. If you violate this oath, you will let your inner demons bite you and die!"
"Good!" The old man raised his head and laughed, very proudly: "Now, let me tell you a secret, about the secret of the heaven and earth magic circle..."
"Without the confinement of the heaven and earth magic circle, with your qualifications of the three spiritual roots, it is easy to attack the foundation building, and there is no need for foundation building pills at all!"
"Even Zifu, it's not impossible!"
