Chapter 4 I'd rather die standing than live on my knees
"Huh?"
The murderous machine suddenly disappeared, and the frightened Xiao Nu and the three of them were sweating and staring at the chief steward Uncle Qin in shock. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Xiao Nu saw that Uncle Qin's golden eyes seemed to have electric light flickering from time to time, falling on him, and he actually had a terrible feeling that all his internal organs had been thoroughly penetrated.
The black-robed Grand Steward of Wind and Smoke Castle appeared ghostly beside the beautiful girl, whispering a few words to her, and the girl stomped her feet fiercely, her eyes spitting fire at one of Xiao Nu's three people.
Xiao Nu sighed in his heart, followed his gaze, and found that the girl was glaring at Khotan Xiaoluo.
"Could it be that Xiao Tianluo has offended this short-tempered eldest lady?" Xiao angrily squeezed his eyes at the dazed Khotan Xiaoluo.
"What do you mean, why are you blinking, Brother Deer?" asked Khotan Xiaoluo stupidly.
Suddenly, the beautiful girl Nie Jiyue angrily pointed at Khotan Xiaoluo and said to Uncle Qin beside her: "No, I must teach this villain a hard lesson today!"
Khotanese Xiaoluowa screamed: "Little girl, where did my brother offend you, he wanted my life as soon as we met?"
"The thief is presumptuous!"
finally seized an opportunity to show his overseer Huer, and in the angry shouts, he kicked Khotan Xiaoluo fiercely.
"Bang!"
I don't know when, Xiao Nu appeared in front of Khotan Xiaoluo, Hu Er kicked Xiao Nu in the chest with full anger, but Xiao Nu didn't move at all, let out a miserable scream, and it was the overseer Hu Er who flew to the ground.
"Shhh
"Uncle Qin, what are you talking about, are these thieves actually monks?" Miss Nie Jiyue opened her mouth in surprise, unable to believe what was happening in front of her.
"Young master, what Yuan Chun said is right, these little guys are really interesting. One has just lit the star lantern, maybe he hasn't found a suitable exercise yet, and the other has actually opened the nine veins, which is higher than your realm. As for the kid you want to teach, in my opinion, no more than three Dian Xing Dan will be successful. Uncle Qin said slowly.
"Hey, old man, do you mean it? I really have three Star Pills to light a star lantern. "The words of the chief steward Uncle Qin, Khotan Xiaoluo seems to only remember these things related to himself, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but smile with joy and asked happily.
Tang Buyi quietly glanced at Xiao Nu, who was silent, lowered his head, and didn't know what he was thinking, maybe he thought that if it was not him who took the star pill that day, but Khotan Xiaoluo himself, I am afraid that Khotan Xiaoluo would also successfully light the star lantern. Hearing that Xiao Nu was already a one-star late-stage monk, his joy was suddenly diluted a lot, and his mood became abrupt.
The eldest lady of the Nie family had a beautiful face that could wring out ice water, and said with a cold snort and disdain: "Even if I don't settle the old account of them stealing the pill today, they won't be able to pass the level of Master Xu alone, stinky little thief, what are you having fun there, if you want to light the star lantern, you have to have that life!"
"Master Xu, who is it?" Xiao was puzzled, frowned and turned his head to ask Khotan Xiaoluo.
"Master Xu, you don't even know? Oh yes, you just came to our Eastern District, and it's understandable that you don't know Master Xu. Master Xu is the best three-star alchemy master in our Eastern District, and he is also a visiting professor in the Fu Medicine District of Qingxi Academy, but I heard that Master Xu has a bad temper and has the nickname of Unreasonable Master. Hey, little girl, what did you just say that Master Xu won't let us go, what do you mean?
Khotan Xiaoluo patiently explained to Xiao Nu, and then asked the eldest lady of the Nie family disapplaudedly.
"Fool! Hu'er, keep an eye on these three people, their tasks will be tripled, and they must be completed for me within two years, otherwise, I will only ask you!" Nie Jiyue turned her head and shouted to Hu'er, who was still holding his feet on the ground and screaming in pain.
"Triple the mission, completed in two years, chick, do you want to be so ruthless? Damn, are we going to give your Nie family a lifetime?" Xiao Nu and the three of them had a feeling of being completely trapped in the bottomless dark abyss.
But at this moment, the chief steward Uncle Qin suddenly bent his fingers and played continuously, and the three golden lights sank into the chests of Xiao Nu and the three of them, and the clumsy Khotan Xiaoluo and Tang Buyi didn't notice it at all, but Xiao Nu's hands and feet were cold all of a sudden, almost sluggish.
Uncle Qin, the chief steward, looked at Xiao Nu and the three of them and said indifferently: "Although the three of you are from the market, your potential can still be carved, if you can complete the triple mining task within two years according to the instructions of the young master, the old man will promise you, as long as you can step into the Wind Smoke Castle for half a step, the old man on your body will help you lift the ban, and will also give you a great opportunity." ”
Khotan Xiaoluo and Tang Buyi looked at Xiao Nu with blank eyes, but when they saw Xiao Nu's calm clothes, they said to the chief steward without humility or arrogance: "Dare to ask the seniors their names?"
"The old man is uninhibited. Let's go, young master. ”
Qin Wuji's voice did not fall, he stretched out his hand and rolled up, and fled in a flash with the eldest lady of the Nie family, and Khotan Xiaoluo screamed.
"Damn, remember, Xiaobu, did you say that chick just now was the one we bumped into in Wuhuiling?"
Tang Buyi frowned, and said in shock: "Don't say it, it's really similar, no wonder she wants your life as soon as you meet, who told you not to listen to my advice that day, you have to ......"
Khotan Xiaoluo's face was red, and he nervously covered Tang Buyi's face, and when he saw Xiao Nu's meaningful eyes, he laughed a few times.
Xiao Nujing walked up to Hu Er, who had already stood up, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Overseer, there is a lot of offense in Shicai, and please atone for your sins." However, the small one has one more thing to ask for. ”
Hu Er snorted hatefully in response, Shicai almost broke his leg by Xiao Nu's spiritual power, and then listened to the chief steward's words and Xiao Nu was already a one-star late-stage cultivator who had opened the nine veins, and he was almost half scared to death.
Hu Er was severely frustrated by Xiao Nu twice before and after, and Xiao Nuye had left a huge shadow on his heart that could not be erased.
"My lord has also heard about it, the eldest lady has tripled the amount of our task, we just want to successfully complete the task and get free to leave here, I believe the adult also dislikes a few of us very much. Why don't you do it well, communicate with the top management of the mine, and make an exception to send us to the high-end mining area where the three-star miners stay, how about it?"
Xiao Nu said slowly with a harmless expression on his face, but Hu Er hated to fan it with a big-eared scraper, and Hu Er instantly had 10,000 unknown star beasts running over in his heart, and scolded secretly: "Little thief, if Lao Tzu can beat you, I will kill you into scum now, I rely on it, who do you think you are, how can you enter the area where the three-star miners stay?"
As soon as he finished scolding in his heart, Hu Er's eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought about it, and barely squeezed out an ugly smile without smiling: "Since you have been regarded by the young master and the chief steward, I, Hu Er, am not an unkind person, so I will make an exception to help you today." You're just waiting for news here!"
As soon as Hu Er left, Khotan Xiaoluo almost blew up: "Brother Xiaolu, what are you doing? Don't you really know how dangerous the mining area where those three-star miners stay? There are many and fierce underground star insects, comparable to human monks, hey, it seems that the old man who coaxed the cow before said that there is a guy who has opened the nine veins among us, hey, it's you who won't talk about it, Brother Xiaolu?"
Khotan Xiaoluo, who realized it later, slammed his fist on Xiao Nu's shoulder, with an expression of disbelief.
Xiao Nu smiled bitterly: "Actually, I didn't mean to hide it from you, let's talk about this later." You two come here, and listen to me. ”
Seeing Xiao Nu's solemn face and extremely solemn expression, Khotan Xiaoluo and Tang Buyi hurriedly gathered around nervously.
Xiao Nu sorted out his thoughts for a while, and said such words in a deep voice with emotion.
"Xiao Tian Luo, Xiao Bu, I Xiao Nu began to wander when I was six years old, footprints all over the four major regions of the Dragon Slayer Territory, I don't know how many deadly dangers I have encountered, I have lived with great difficulty until now, during which I have no friends, I have not received help from anyone, until I meet you by chance. ”
"It is said that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, people die for money, birds die for food, my biggest dream is just to live one day at a time, as long as it is too ugly to die. But because of you, I suddenly became a monk, and I also opened nine spiritual veins, and my strength increased greatly. No matter what you think, I have regarded you two as my only brothers in life and death in this life, and I swear to heaven that I will never turn my back on you in this life and this life, no matter what the situation is. ”
Speaking of this, the six little hands had unconsciously clenched into a ball, and the faces of the three were already wet with tears.
"At present, Brother Xiao Bu and I have taken the first step as monks in advance, Xiao Tianluo, don't worry, Brother will soon be able to get you enough and good enough Star Pills, so that you can be the same as us!"
"I've thought about it, the old man surnamed Qin is unfathomable, and he secretly manipulated us before leaving, to be honest, I have now lost the ability to use spiritual power. But you don't have to worry, I will break the ban on you as soon as possible and protect you. We must rush to the opening ceremony of this Qingxi Academy, earn enough money to spend, and be admitted together. Remember, we can only enter the academy to learn the cultivation exercises and a series of basic knowledge related to cultivation, and in the future, we can go one step further, be admitted to a prestigious school, learn emperor-level secret arts, and dominate the world, and no longer have to look at other people's eyes to live!"
"The three of us brothers have to live as human beings! We would rather die standing than kneel! So, while the overseer is stopped by me and asked him to help us infiltrate the high-level mining area, we will have the opportunity to complete the task as quickly as possible and be free, this is just the first small step in the turning point of our lives, this step is quite dangerous, but I want to hear you say that it is worth the risk?"
Khotan Xiaoluo and Tang Buyi wiped the tears on their faces, and said in unison: "It's worth, we will always believe in you!"
Under Xiao Fu's guidance, the three of them gradually calmed down, and after discussing some more details, they saw the overseer Huer hurriedly returning, accompanied by two big men who were dressed as overseers equivalent to him.
Before leaving, Xiao Nu took away a mine hoe that Hu Er regarded as a treasure, which was a one-star mine hoe that had undergone a successful star refining.
When Xiao Nu and the three of them left with the two overseers of the high-level mining area, Hu Er was so angry that he smashed a few cups in a row and scolded angrily: "Three thieves, see how many days you can jump." It's better to die in the gold-swallowing centipede pile, lest Lao Tzu have to bother to deal with that unreasonable master. By the way, I almost forgot about a big thing. ”
Carefully turning into the secret room, Hu Er cautiously took out a thumb-sized piece of psychic jade from the secret place, bit his finger, and dripped seven drops of blood on the jade in a row, and in an instant, the psychic jade swelled at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into a "mirror" the size of a basin.
The mirror rippled like water ripples a few times, and suddenly the head of a middle-aged man appeared.
When the man's eyes opened and closed, a strong bloody breath came to his face, Hu Er was almost so frightened that he peed his pants, and he knelt down in front of the "mirror" in a hurry, and shouted softly with great respect: "My nephew Hu Er sees my cousin, I have something important to report!"
"The Nie family, the Nie family actually sent the chief steward of Qin and the eldest lady to investigate the nephew, please be more careful with your uncle, they seem to be very suspicious of you, and let me tell you that the Wind Eagle Deed Exchange Ceremony is about to be held!
The teleportation mirror in front of Hull suddenly went out.
