Chapter 22: The Donglai Mine is Haunted
Before you know it, a month has passed like this.
The turmoil of Gu Cheng becoming the head of the sect gradually subsided in the Yaoyang Sect.
Except for a very few people, no one will stare at this thing, everyone has their own thing, and once they are busy, who will always remember it.
At the same time, everyone also accepted this fact and accepted Gu Cheng's identity as the head of the sect.
And in this month, Gu Cheng also lived in a simple place, and spent most of his time in the single courtyard he had newly moved into, concentrating on studying his newly acquired exercises and sword techniques, not causing trouble, and being quite peaceful.
"Your yard is really good, I've been here a few times, and the more I look at it, the more I like it."
It was none other than Gu Cheng's friend Tan Wu who said this.
He looked around at this exquisite courtyard, and kept admiring, Cui Ying stood aside, and when he saw his hillbilly appearance, he couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.
But then again, although the residence of the inner disciple is far better than that of the outer disciple, there are several people living in the same courtyard, and even if it is a core disciple, it is just an ordinary single courtyard. Gu Cheng also got special treatment because of his status as the head of the sect, and really speaking, the place where he lives now is actually an elder-level person who is qualified to move in.
Not only is it a unique courtyard, but the environment is quiet and elegant, and at the same time, it is close to the core of the main vein, and the aura is far richer than other places, almost more than twice as much as his original residence.
It is precisely because of this that in the past month, Gu Cheng's cultivation has also increased a lot by relying on his own cultivation, although he has not broken through the realm of the first layer of condensate, but his experience value has also increased by more than half, and it is not far from reaching the second layer of condensate.
"If you like it, just live here, and I didn't say I wouldn't let you live in."
"And Ah Ying, if you like it, you can also move in together, as long as you don't dislike living with our two big men." Gu Cheng walked out of the courtyard and took over the topic with a smile.
"Who wants to live with you and make a lot of love for himself...... Are you ready, let's go. Cui Ying shook Gu Cheng's eyes and said angrily.
"It's not like I didn't live together when I was a child, and we still sleep in the same bed......" Tan Wu couldn't help but muttered in a low voice.
Cui Ying immediately turned around, so frightened that Tan Wu hurriedly ran away and hid behind Gu Cheng.
Although Tan Wu is burly and majestic, among the three, he is the weakest one, and he has been like this since he was a child.
For a while, the three of them laughed.
It's like going back to the days when I was a kid in Tokai County.
……
Half an hour later, a spaceship took off and left the Radiant Sun Faction's sphere of influence.
The person on the spaceship was none other than Gu Cheng and the others.
They were on a mission to carry out a sect.
Compared with the outer disciples, the inner disciples are much better-treated, not only do they no longer need to work every day, but their cultivation conditions have also been greatly improved, and the share of spirit stone pills they receive from the sect every month has also increased several times. However, correspondingly, the inner disciples need to go out to perform a sect task every once in a while.
Complete a mission on a low difficulty that lasts for a month.
Complete an intermediate difficulty quest for three months.
And if you complete one task of advanced difficulty, you don't need to worry about it again within half a year.
What Gu Cheng and the three of them did next this time was a sect task of intermediate difficulty, which was not easy, but it was not too difficult, and the three of them could just practice together.
Although Tan Wu and Cui Ying entered the inner gate a few days earlier than Gu Cheng, they were not a few months earlier, and the new inner gate disciples did not need to complete the task for the first three months, so this was also the first time they had a mission.
However, although it was the first time to go on a mission, several people did not have too much worry and sorrow, but were full of confidence.
"The location of this mission is in Donglai County, not too far from our Yaoyang Sect Sect, with the speed of our spaceship, we can arrive in about two days."
"The specific situation is that our Yaoyang Sect's hematite mine in Donglai County was attacked by unknown ghosts, not only a large number of ordinary miners were slaughtered, but even the disciples stationed there were several people whose whereabouts were unknown, so the person in charge of the mine immediately sent the news back to the sect, hoping that the sect would send someone to solve it."
Cui Ying took the scroll of information related to the mission and spoke to Gu Cheng and Tan Wu.
They can only see the general situation when they receive the task, and as for the detailed information, they must wait for them to take the task before giving it to them, which is not only to prevent their disciples from picking and choosing, but also to prevent the leakage of information.
"According to the current situation, there are several possibilities."
"One is deep in the hematite mine, where a ghost's lair is hidden."
"Either that, an alien ghost inadvertently breaks into the mine, and then this series of things happens."
"There is another possibility, that is, it was done by the people of the Corpse Refining Sect."
"What did the people of the Corpse Refining Sect do?" Hearing this possibility, Tan Wu's eyes suddenly widened, and he said, "If a certain elder of the Corpse Refining Sect deliberately made trouble, then wouldn't the three of us little minions go over and deliver food?" ”
Among the eight major sects of the Wei State, the three major sects of the Dongxuan Sect, the Hundred Beast Sect and the Yaoyang Sect are on good terms, while the Demon Rock Sect, the Corpse Refining Sect and the Hundred Poison Cave have always been very close, as for the remaining Taixuguan and Jindan Sect, they are all neutral forces, and no one is biased or fighting.
This can be regarded as the general pattern of the entire Wei state's forces.
As for the Yaoyang Sect alone, the Corpse Refining Sect was the biggest opponent, because the two sides had a lot of contact with each other, and they had been fighting with each other for many years. I think that at the beginning, there was even a matter of the Corpse Refining Sect refining the elders of the Yaoyang Sect into corpse puppets, and the Yaoyang Sect had also entered the mountain gate of the Corpse Refining Sect in one fell swoop, and there were many contradictions between the two sides, although there have been no large-scale conflicts in recent years, but there are still a lot of small fights.
If you encounter a strong person from an ordinary sect force, even if it is a strong person from the Hundred Poison Cave and the Demon Rock Sect, the other party will not do anything to the three of them regardless of their identity, but if it is replaced by a certain elder of the Corpse Refining Sect, then it may be possible.
That's why Tan Wu asked.
Thinking of this possibility, Gu Cheng's heart couldn't help but feel a chill, if there was a choice, I am afraid that ninety-nine percent of the monks would rather commit suicide than be refined into corpse puppets.
"Don't worry, there are only some low-level ghosts, and there are no elders from the Corpse Refining Sect who have appeared in Donglai County recently, otherwise, how can this task be set as an intermediate difficulty task. In this regard, the sect has always judged very accurately, and there are few mistakes. Seeing the appearance of the two, Cui Ying couldn't help but roll her eyes, and explained helplessly.
"Oh, that's it, then I'm relieved."
Tan Wu immediately grinned.
