Chapter 263: Entering the Mine
Surrounded by the stewards and supervisors of the No. 9 Mine Cave of Qingtie Mountain, he couldn't use his strength in front of them, in order to bring Xiahou into the cave, Erdong began to secretly promise Xiahou that he would provide him with various benefits.
Xiahou is not a person who sees money, and he will not risk his life for that little benefit, so after Erdong hinted that he would give Xiahou Tianda benefits, Xiahou still followed him into the mine.
After receiving a mine hoe and a large bamboo basket from the steward, Xiahou and Erdong entered the No. 9 mine, where there was no steward or supervisor.
Anyway, there are all Qingcheng Sect disciples who have made small mistakes, if they didn't want to come here to accept the punishment of hard labor, they would have defected and fled a long time ago, and they would not obediently wait until now to enter the mine and then run away.
Besides, the cave was dug in all directions, and no matter how many stewards and supervisors went in, it was useless, so they took the approach of watching the only hole and urging them to accept the mining punishment by no one measuring it.
And whether there will be such a thing as snatching each other's iron ore inside, it is not their responsibility, after all, the inside of the mine is too complicated, and they really don't have the energy to care about it.
And they just have to keep a daily record of the people who come in and out, and the ore they dig up.
After all, the disciples who were punished in the No. 9 Mine Cave were all relatively light, and at most one of them had less than half a year's labor period, plus everyone was in the same family, and all of them had not made any trouble in the No. 9 Mine for more than ten years.
Unlike the No. 1 and No. 2 mines in the front, there are some mining accidents from time to time.
Because the No. 9 mine has always been relatively safe, the management is also relatively lax, which makes Erdong have the idea of doing it here.
Seeing that Xiahou was so easy to be deceived, he thought that he looked like he wanted money and didn't want his life, even if he gave him all the things on his body, and then he killed him, those things would not be returned to the original owner, this is really a death for money. Seeing that Xiahou agreed to go in with him, Erdong thought contemptuously in his heart.
As soon as they entered the mine, their figures were still in the sight of a few stewards outside, and Xia Hou stopped and refused to leave, he wanted Erdong to cash in on the benefits before he was willing to continue walking.
This place is still in the sight of the steward, not a place to do it, but Xia Hou refuses to go in now, and he can't do it himself, and he will be exposed as soon as he calls.
Seeing that Xiahou chose to stop in this place and fulfill his promise first, Erdong realized that Xiahou was actually not stupid, as soon as he received the things, he would not go in here, and there was no way to take him by himself, so he didn't dare to hand over the things he had just promised to Xiahou.
And Xia Hou is just thinking that if he can deceive a little, he will deceive a little, if it is so easy to go down with Erdong, if he doesn't dare at all after he enters, won't he lose a lot of money?
So, when it comes to their own vital interests, two people who don't trust each other are arguing quietly here, trying in every possible way to force each other to make concessions to themselves.
They stopped talking here, which immediately made the steward outside feel strange, and asked them what they were standing here for.
"My junior brother is afraid of the dark, standing here and not daring to enter, now I am encouraging him, it will be fine immediately, you don't have to worry about us." After listening to the questions outside, Erdong replied before Xiahou, using Xiahou's timid excuse to perfunctory them.
It's not a way to block here, there are people in charge outside, and there are brothers who dig a basket full of iron ore inside at any time with a big bamboo basket on their backs, Erdong knows that he can't stay here, so he takes a step back and reaches a temporary agreement with Xiahou.
After deciding the matter, Erdong took out the unique martial arts cheats of Qingfeng Guan "Qingfeng Jue" and handed it to Xiahou, after Xiahou took the cheats, he took a step and followed Erdong to the depths of the mine.
Because they didn't trust each other, Erdong was afraid that Xiahou would not keep his word after getting the things and turn around and go out, so he didn't dare to hand over all the things he had promised to Xiahou.
Xiahou didn't believe in Erdong either, and refused to agree to Erdong's suggestion to give him all the treasures after going deep into the mine.
So after the discussion just now, they reached a tentative agreement that for every five hundred steps, Erdong would give Xiahou something.
If Xiahou is not satisfied with what Erdong has taken out, then he can ask Erdong to change it, and when Xiahou is satisfied, then they continue to walk inside.
Until Xiahou is not satisfied with everything that Erdong took out, or Erdong refuses to give Xiahou more things, then this agreement is terminated, and they break up and act separately.
The first thing Xia Hou received was the internal strength "Qingfeng Jue", after putting it in the backpack, he used the system's own viewing system to take a look at the introduction to it, and found that it only added 10 points of strength at the first layer, 2 points of physique, 10 points of agility, and the increase in attributes was neither high nor low, just average.
If you haven't practiced "God Hunting Hidden Prison Decision" before, or your root bones are not only 3 points, but you can get a few points higher, then you will learn this "Qingfeng Jue" yourself.
But now that he can only learn one more internal skill, Xia Hou doesn't dare to learn it, in case he can get a better internal skill than "Qingfeng Jue" in the future, he won't lose a lot.
After giving Xiahou "Qingfeng Jue", Erdong didn't feel much distressed, he knew that after killing Xiahou, he could get back as many things as he wanted, so now as long as Xiahou can follow him, go deep into the mine, and find a fork in the road that is inaccessible, this is more important than anything else.
They didn't go far, but before they reached the distance of five hundred paces, Erdong and Xiahou had a disagreement, because they encountered the first fork in the road, so they each chose a different mine path to go down, and no one could convince anyone.
Xia Hou chose the main mine road, and from time to time people walked by, some of them went out with the iron ore they dug up, and some of them hurriedly ran in to find a place to continue digging iron ore after handing over the iron ore.
Anyway, Xia Hou chose the main mine road that someone walked, and he did it all to walk a little longer and scavenge some more things from Erdong.
He didn't know how deep the main mine was, how many people walked back and forth on this road, if there were always people on the main mine, he wouldn't have a chance to start.
What's even more tragic is that if he gives all the good things on his body to Xiahou, and then meets the senior brother who came out to hand over the iron ore on the main mine road, and then Xiahou hides behind the senior brother, then he will be a bamboo basket to draw water, and he will lose his wife and soldiers.
So in order to avoid encountering the time bomb of the senior brother, Erdong decided to take Xiahou to the small fork in the road as soon as possible, and quickly enter this small pit that seemed to have been abandoned, so as to understand this matter as soon as possible.
As a result, their disagreements arose, and they were at loggerheads over which way to go, and no one could convince anyone.
It's a matter of life, Xiahou won't compromise so easily, no matter what Erdong says, no matter how reasonable he says, he insists on taking the big road, until Erdong takes out the second cheatbook and gives it to Xiahou, he follows Erdong into the fork in the road - the small mine that looks almost abandoned.
