Above the Five Elements Sect Spiritual Mine, everyone continued to sit in each other's arms in silence, but the atmosphere was full of weirdness and weirdness.
After a long time, Pei Ji slowly said:
"Everyone, if I failed to do what the adults told me, I will only die now, while you guys have two options to choose from."
Seeing everyone looking at him, Pei Ji was neither sad nor happy, and continued:
"The first way is, you can join forces to kill me and my second uncle now, and then report your fault to Elder Zheng. You can distort the facts as you like, as long as you can avoid Elder Zheng's detection."
Waving his hands slightly in response to Pei Shihai's confused eyes, Pei Ji said again:
"The second way is that when Elder Zheng punishes me, I tell the truth about everyone's performance today, and Elder Zheng decides everything."
Everyone was also depressed, and they were still thinking of making a fortune in spiritual stones. However, they failed to get the spiritual stones, and instead got themselves into trouble.
These are not two roads, they are both one road, a dead end.
They wouldn't be afraid of just having a fight with Pei Ji, but if the Bihai Chaosheng Sect angered them, the sect behind them would definitely not be able to step in.
Moreover, the boy named Zhang today was too cunning. He first deliberately provoked Pei Ji and aroused everyone's resonance, and then openly discussed the teleportation array, breaking the previously defaulted rules. Once the rules are broken, it will be difficult to establish them again. .
Sure enough, the message transmission and discussion were all aimed at irritating Pei Ji, and eventually led to the flash in the pan of thousands of spirit stones. However, because everyone was restrained by each other, it was difficult to take action. Zhang Xiaosheng timely said that he would go to fetch more times to guide everyone's goal, and proposed to Everyone was given 500 middle-grade spiritual stones, which was a big pie. But after seeing the thousands of spiritual stones before, no one had any doubts.
In addition, he exchanged 500 medium-grade spiritual stones for a small storage bag, which made those who did not exchange it worry about the loss, fearing that the subsequent spiritual stones would also suffer losses, so he lured everyone step by step into the bag he had already buried. trapped.
In terms of responsibility, Pei Ji's responsibility is not big, but no matter what, Elder Zheng will not let them go lightly.
"Brother Pei Dao, I don't believe you weren't tempted just now, but there's no need to say these things now. We're all in the same boat. What do you think we should do?"
Pei Ji felt slightly relieved. The reason why he said it deliberately was to give everyone some preconceived notions.
If these people really joined forces to kill himself and his second uncle, and then just put all the blame on himself, Elder Zheng Ze might not risk angering so many sects to vent his anger on him.
And the fact that he said this matter inadvertently increased everyone's speculation on this possibility. Seeing that everyone was staring at him closely, Pei Ji smiled and said:
"You have all been waiting here for several months. It has been extremely hard, but fortunately, nothing has gone wrong. It didn't happen before, it doesn't happen now, and it won't happen in the future... am I right?"
Everyone quickly realized that they wanted to suppress this matter completely.
"That's right, that's right."
"Oh, I've been so bored these past few months, there's not even a stranger here."
A few people answered, but more people remained silent, which was regarded as acquiescence.
Soon, silence returned to the scene again, and Pei Ji sighed slightly, let this matter be forgotten.
As for what everyone is thinking at this time, it is unknown.
If Zhang Xiaosheng saw this scene, he would definitely be filled with emotion. Many major events in history were delayed by the cleverness of these little people.
Of course, Zhang Xiaosheng couldn't see it, because he was in a daze in a stone room at this time.
It had been half an hour since he woke up. Zhang Xiaosheng was startled at first and thought he had traveled through time again. However, he felt relieved when he discovered that the system and cultivation were also there.
It was just that he was trapped in this stone house, surrounded by formations. It was impossible to get out, but he did not dare to shout loudly. After all, in a strange environment, the longer he was alone, the longer it took to prepare.
The dizziness in my head finally disappeared, but my level was still too low. Sitting in such a long-distance teleportation array was really unbearable.
The previous things slowly came to mind.
After he and the man in black robe jumped into the mine, they naturally ran away with all their strength, and soon arrived at the teleportation array. At this time, Pei Ji and the others were approaching, and the man in black robe stood directly into the teleportation array, and the metal rubbed against it. The harsh voice sounded again:
"Two thousand middle-grade spiritual stones, hurry!"
Zhang Xiaosheng didn't care much and hurriedly threw out the spirit stone and stood up.
I saw the black-robed man making secrets with his hands quickly, the spirit stones spinning rapidly around the formation, the entire stone chamber shining with light, and a huge suction force suddenly appeared above the teleportation formation. Zhang Xiaosheng hurriedly started to use the skills, and his mental power was greatly unleashed, protecting him. Live in your own body, and then...then you don't know anything anymore.
I was groggy before and seemed to hear something about miners. What was the situation? Didn't I pass through the teleportation array? Why was I still in the spiritual mine?
Aren’t all the Five Elements Sect’s spiritual mines destroyed?
And where did the man in black robe go?
Just as he was thinking about it, the formation in the room disappeared, and two people walked in. They were in their twenties, one tall and one short. They both had the aura of the ninth level of foundation building.
"Wake up, listen carefully, I will only say it once, then come with us."
Before Zhang Xiaosheng could react, the tall man began to explain:
"Congratulations, you have now become a senior miner in our No. 13 mine. You are responsible for mining high-grade spiritual stones. Your task is to mine one stone every three days. Now follow me."
Zhang Xiaosheng was led to a mine in confusion. After walking for a long time, he finally reached the bottom. The man said again:
"This is your work area, remember, don't leave without permission!"
After saying that, the two turned to leave.
"Hey, fellow Taoists, please wait a moment."
What's going on? This is, this is too hasty.
The two turned around, and the short man showed a little impatience and said:
"what happened again?"
Zhang Xiaosheng was helpless, what do you mean? It's obviously just the first time to talk, but the opportunity is rare. I was about to get some middle-grade spiritual stones to see if I could cast them to ask for directions, but I groped for a long time in my chest and couldn't find them. I was suddenly shocked.
Seeing Zhang Xiaosheng's actions, the tall man couldn't help but laugh and said:
"I almost forgot to tell you. Your two storage bags will be kept by us for the time being. You and your companions rashly broke into the spirit mine. You are lucky that we didn't kill you."
Zhang Xiaosheng sighed in his heart, you keep it, isn't this just like a meat bun beating a dog.
"Don't worry, I won't touch your things. After you have dug for ten years, I will let you go. Then the storage bag will be returned to you."
What?
ten years?
what's the situation!
"Two Taoist friends, I came here by chance. I don't know anything. I would like to ask these two Taoist friends to tell you something. That...the spirit stone in the storage bag will be used as a meeting gift for you two. I would like to ask you two Be sure to accept it!”
The two looked at each other subconsciously, and the short man said:
"But your storage bag has been handed over to the deacon..."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I'll count it as what I owe you. I'll give it to you when the storage bag is returned. Don't worry, I never lie to others."
"You have to have the ability to deceive people." The tall man chuckled, then glanced at the short man and continued:
"Forget it, let me tell you. Let's do this. You ask three questions and I will answer them."
Um...three questions, so we need to plan carefully.
Zhang Xiaosheng had an idea and said:
"Then let me ask you the first question, what happened after I appeared here?"
"You are quite clever."
Zhang Xiaosheng smiled sarcastically.
Fortunately, the tall man didn't care and replied:
"You and your companions should have been teleported here, and then you were assigned to our mine No. 13. Our spiritual mine will not kill monks like you who rush in and cause minimal harm, but you have to dig it for us. It takes ten years to leave the mine, which is considered as punishment.”
The answer was not as detailed as expected. Zhang Xiaosheng frowned slightly and asked again:
"Second question, besides digging for ten years, is there any other way to get out early?"
The short man said coldly:
"There are three ways. First, if you run out secretly, as long as you are not discovered by our people, you will be considered successful; second, if you kill everyone here, you will be considered successful; third... our sect has a foundation building period every year. In the competition between outer disciples, you can be considered as temporary hires. If you can get the top three, you can apply to become an outer disciple. If the elder agrees, you can leave the mine."
Well, the first two methods have been mentioned, but they haven’t been mentioned. Hearing that the top three in the Foundation Establishment Period are the outer disciples, Zhang Xiaosheng was secretly shocked, what kind of sect is this, is it so strong? The Bihai Chaosheng Sect also has the highest standard, right?
Seeing Zhang Xiaosheng's expression change, the tall man said:
"However, I still suggest that you don't consider these three methods. The top three of our outer disciples will not give in to ordinary second-level golden elixir monks. You should just dig mines for ten years! "
"Then I wonder when the next competition will be?"
"Is this your third question?" the short man asked with a raised brow.
"Well... of course not. The three methods mentioned by fellow Taoist just now, this can be considered as the third method."
"After a month, if you don't get a fake elixir, don't even think about it."
Zhang Xiaosheng was speechless. In a month... he might not be able to improve his realm even with the fake elixir, not to mention that his spell control was still very immature.
"Then the third question is, just now the two fellow Taoists said to mine a high-grade spiritual stone in three days, but I didn't see where there is a high-grade spiritual stone to be mined in this mine. How to operate this?"
The tall monk patted the cave wall and said:
"It's all here. The stones here are specially designed to breed high-grade spiritual stones. They all have the attributes of the five elements. You need to use spiritual energy to dissolve the stones wrapping the spiritual stones before you can collect them. With your ninth-level cultivation, you can only get one stone in three days. Bar."
"Okay, I've answered the questions. Don't forget what you promised us. We'll collect the spirit stones once every three days. If we can't collect them, huh." The short man didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was obvious.
The two turned around to leave again, but Zhang Xiaosheng interrupted again:
"Well, I forgot to mention it. I still have more than a thousand middle-grade spiritual stones in my storage bag. Please don't dislike it."
! ! !
The two of them turned around in a hurry. They thought they would just get dozens of spiritual stones, but they didn't expect there would be a surprise.
The short man said:
"You should not be judged by appearance. I didn't expect you to be mediocre in appearance but rich in assets."
God is so mediocre in appearance!
The tall man scratched his head in embarrassment and said:
"Thank you very much. In that case, I will talk to you again."
Zhang Xiaosheng couldn't help but sigh, his ability...
So delicious!
