The fourth day of the first lunar month of the calendar year 25101!
The gray space was so quiet that it was a bit scary. Fang Qing, who was in ragged clothes, was lying quietly in the empty space, breathing weakly, and his heartbeat was coming and going.
At this moment, if Fang Qing was still conscious, he would see that this place was only about ten feet in size, but it was filled with unknown and extremely mysterious gray air currents.
The gray air flow is mixed with scattered seven-color light spots, like thousands of stars, dotted under the starry sky, mysterious and magnificent.
Looking inside again, there was a silver-gray bead about the size of a baby's fist suspended in the center of the space.
Mysterious seven-color light flows on the entire surface of the bead. It rotates continuously, emitting a faint seven-color light, illuminating a space of about ten feet.
The gray airflow in the void was constantly flowing and changing, revealing dark mysterious cracks, which were quickly repaired by invisible forces, and the cycle continued.
The silver-gray bead rotated slowly. Suddenly, the silver-gray bead glowed brightly. The gray air flow in the void flowed towards the bead like hundreds of rivers converging into the sea, and disappeared in an instant.
At this moment, the entire mysterious space suddenly became extremely dark, and there was no longer any light.
Fang Qing, who was still lying on the ground, was shaking suddenly and his face was twisted, as if he was suffering from great pain. After an unknown amount of time, Fang Qing slowly calmed down and his breathing became stable.
In the darkness, countless dark red and foul-smelling impurities oozed from the surface of Fang Qing's body, filling the entire space and making people sick to smell it.
The strange thing is that there is no air in this strange and mysterious space, but Fang Qing can still breathe smoothly, and his vitality is quickly recovering.
Outside, everyone in the Fang family and the miners were digging hard, still holding on to a glimmer of hope. Fang Buqi's brothers all looked ugly.
His brother's only son had just been handed over to him, and within less than two days, something like this happened. No one would think in a good direction if he told it.
"This is the second brother's only son. If he really dies here, I'm afraid the second brother will go crazy, or even..." Fang Buqi was carrying the stone while talking to Fang Busan beside him.
"Who would have thought that something like this would happen? I hope Qing'er is lucky enough to escape this disaster." Fang Busan said with an ugly face at the moment.
"Brother, third brother, I think we should report it to the family first. Digging like this is not the way to go!" Fang Buyi and Fang Buyi began to make suggestions. This kind of thing must be reported to the family.
"Report to the family? But what should I say? The old man just handed over Qing'er to us, but this happened in the blink of an eye. How should I explain to him if I don't regret it?" Fang Buqi was extremely embarrassed.
Everyone was silent for a while, all aware of this embarrassing problem.
"Oh, this is also the fate of that child. As a monk, ever since he started practicing, he has already prepared for the worst!" A deep voice of a middle-aged man sounded from behind.
Fang Buqi turned around and looked at the people in front of him. They were cousins from Fang Shanhai's lineage.
The person who spoke was the eldest son of Lao DaFang BuWai and uncle Fang YouZhi. The others were Lao Er Fang Bu Wai, Lao San Fang Bu Xian, Lao Si Fang Bu Wei, Lao Wu Bu Lao and Lao Liu Fang Bu Fan.
"Brother, why are you talking like that? It was your idea to have Qing'er become a miner. He is a descendant of our Fang family after all. If word spreads, what will outsiders think of us?" Fang Buqi said angrily.
"Don't give up. As descendants of the Fang family, we don't want to do this either. But as you have seen over the years, we are twelve years old and in the third level of the body refining realm. It is simply a joke to our Fang family. You know how outsiders evaluate us. ?"
This is the second brother, who is the most mean and vicious person. Except for his own children, he cannot tolerate the children of other brothers in his eyes.
"Fang Busan, you are going too far. Don't talk about the family reputation. Isn't it because of your father that you have diverted some resources? Why are you pretending to be a saint!" Fang Busan has a hot temper and has nowhere to vent his anger. It just so happened that Fang Busan bumped into him. .
"Fang Busan, you are so presumptuous. How dare you call your second brother by his first name? You are so brave. Where do you put the family rules?" This is the third oldest brother Fang Busan. He is the same age as Fang Busan. How much older is Fang Busan? months.
The others watched indifferently, noncommittal, and happily watched the excitement. They were all competitors. The family resources were limited. Everyone coveted more cultivation resources, and no one was willing to fall behind.
It's best if some people compete with each other. It would be more perfect if both sides lose and reap the benefits. This is the current situation of the cultivation world. It is not the Fang family who does this, but the entire cultivation world.
"Okay, stop talking. Let others see the joke. It's more important to save people." Lao Dafang just tried to smooth things over. As the boss of the family, he must set an example, at least on the surface.
Everyone's cultivation level was very high. They started working together and quickly cleared a passage directly into the collapsed mine.
The collapse inside was even more serious, and all the stone pillars supporting the mine space collapsed. It was too laborious to clean up.
Just as everyone was clearing the passage, Fang Qing, who was lying in the space, woke up.
"Where is this? Am I not dead?"
In the darkness, Fang Qing touched his chest, which was still a little painful, and slowly got up. He groped around and found the hole where the impact originally occurred. The desire to survive supported him as he walked out with difficulty.
Just as he walked to the place of impact, the space behind him suddenly collapsed and was completely buried by boulders, leaving only a narrow passage as high as a person.
Fang Qing broke out in a cold sweat, thankful that he woke up in time, otherwise, he would have been completely buried inside.
Little did he know that just after the gray beads disappeared, the original space should have collapsed. The reason why it collapsed now was entirely because the gray beads were self-sustaining. When he left the space, the space would lose its support and would naturally collapse.
"You can't advance or retreat. Do you really want to die here?" Fang Qing was a little unwilling. He finally escaped from death, but fell into this predicament. He was really unwilling!
After an unknown amount of time, Fang Qing began to have difficulty breathing, his head began to feel dizzy, and he was so hungry that he fainted.
After Fang Qing passed out, without his knowledge, a faint halo appeared strangely on the surface of his body. The halo protected his whole body and kept him alive.
"Qing'er, Qing'er, wake up, wake up quickly!"
Drowsily, Fang Qing felt someone calling him, and cool water entered his mouth, replenishing his dry body.
Opening his heavy eyelids, Fang Qing saw the sunshine from the outside world shining on him. A warm feeling flowed throughout his body, and his physical strength was slowly recovering.
"Good boy, this desire to survive is really amazing. I managed to survive three whole days and three nights. Even I may not be able to do it!" Fang Buqi said with a smile.
"If you survive a disaster, you will be blessed later! It's a pity that his qualifications are a little inferior, otherwise, he would definitely be no worse than the second brother." Fang Busan also sighed at Fang Qing's willpower.
It turned out that when everyone dug the tunnel, they were frightened when they saw Fang Qing's lifeless body, even his breathing and heartbeat stopped.
If his body wasn't still warm, everyone would have thought he was dead and hurriedly took him out. After a full quarter of an hour, his heart beat slowly, surprising everyone.
"Why did the mine suddenly collapse? There has never been a problem in the past three years, which is strange!" Fang Butai asked in confusion.
"Nothing happened after so many years, but this little guy made such a big mistake when he came here. The faces of several old men turned green with anger, alas!" Fang Wuyi pointedly said.
Everyone understood what he meant, which meant that Fang Qing was a disaster star and could not do anything.
Fang Buqi and others frowned. Although Fang Jue's words were aimed at Fang Qing, what he said was not unreasonable.
"The mine collapsed, but the ore is still there. As long as it is reopened, there will be no loss."
"Besides, the collapsed mine saves a lot of effort. As long as it is transported away, the copper can be extracted directly."
Fang Buqi did not directly speak for Fang Qing, but what he said was very reasonable and no one could refute it.
While everyone was arguing, Fang Qing was already fully awake. Except for his extremely weak body, other external injuries had been bandaged by everyone in the Fang family, so there was no big problem.
"It's definitely not possible to stay in the mining area. The second brother will definitely not agree. It's better to go back. The second brother doesn't know about this yet, but how long can it be kept secret?" Fang Buqi looked at Fang Qing and said with some guilt.
At this time, no one objected anymore. After all, he was a direct disciple of the Fang family. It would be great luck to escape death. If he were to stay here, not only would Fang Bugui not agree, but he would also make people laugh.
"It's okay to go back, but he has to support himself. The family can no longer provide for him as before." This is what Fang and others mean. What is the meaning of letting Fang Qing come out? Isn't it just to allocate Fang Qing's cultivation resources?
Fang Qing was lying on the ground, listening to the arrangements made by everyone in the Fang family, with an ugly expression on his face. He had really become a thorn in their side. Is this really true?
Fang Qing is not a fool. Ever since he heard what Fang Buqi and others said, he has also realized that Grandpa Shanhai's ambition is to seize the power of the Fang family. He is just the reason for them to attack.
"Let's talk about it when we get back!" Fang Buqi said coldly.
"Load the truck and transport all the ore away!" Fang Busan and others arranged for the miners to load the truck together with the escorts.
Fang Qing slowly got up and accidentally glanced at the miners, only to find that Sun Zhi and the others were subconsciously avoiding his gaze and were very afraid of him. Their bodies were trembling and their faces were a little frightened.
Um?
Fang Qing's mind turned quickly, and he quickly thought of the dispute between Sun Zhi and himself. Could there be something behind the collapse of the mine?
He quickly analyzed in his mind, glanced at Sun Zhi again, and found that this guy was pretending to be calm, looking like I'm not afraid of you.
This made Fang Qing even more suspicious, and he whispered a few words to Fang Buqi. Fang Buqi looked at Fang Qing in surprise, and looked at Sun Zhi and others thoughtfully, and immediately discovered the problem.
"How dare you to tell me what's going on? If you don't tell me, you'll die!" Fang Buqi shouted loudly. His cultivation at the peak of Qi Yi Realm suddenly exploded, and a huge aura oppressed and enveloped several people. A miner.
"Ah, it's none of my business, it's really none of my business! Have mercy on me!" Finally someone couldn't bear it anymore and collapsed. It was a miner with black spots on his face. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately.
"Tell me, tell me in detail, if there is anything to hide, kill!" Fang Buqi was furious.
The miner immediately explained the cause and effect in detail, which made all the direct members of the Fang family become murderous. It was really courageous. To play such a trick on the Fang family would lead to death.
Captain Wang slumped to the ground at that time, his body was trembling, and his heart was filled with fear. He knew that he was finished, and he had ruined his life for a few taels of silver.
As expected, Sun Zhi and others were all killed, with the intention of murdering the direct disciples of the Fang family. Their family members were not implicated, which was considered extremely merciful by the Fang family!
"You are really a disaster, but you have made great contributions. Go back!" Fang Buqi was also a little speechless. It was just a trivial matter, but it caused such a big mess and almost caused him to be buried alive.
