Looking forward following Guo Xiong's gaze, what appeared in front of Duan Lingtian's eyes was a vast and boundless valley. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the middle of this valley, there are islands in the sky, and buildings stand on them, surrounded by clouds and mist, far apart, and it is difficult to see clearly.

Looking down, you can see the busy people coming and going in the valley again.

Every once in a while, you can see a lot of people getting into some 'mines', and at the same time, there are also many people coming out of the mines.

When these people come out, they go to the same place.

"What we see in front of us is the 'penal area' of the No. 1 mining area. These people you see are all disciples of the Four Elephant Altar who have made mistakes and been expelled to serve here. ”

Guo Xiong said to Duan Lingtian in a timely manner: "In the punishment area, every disciple of the Four Elephant Altar has a specific task every day, and only after completing the task can he go back to his respective residence to rest. ”

"Why do they come in and out so often? Could it be that those who come out have already completed their work today?"

Duan Lingtian asked curiously.

"How is that possible!"

Guo Xiong shook his head, "Those who came out were all going to hand in the holy stones that had just been mined...... Because they didn't have the 'Acceptance Ring' in their hands, they could only frequently send the holy stones they mined to the designated places, and they could not rest until the amount of mining in the day was enough. ”

"Behold, they all carried a basket on their backs, and in it all the holy stones they had mined...... This is also the rule of the penal district, and the holy stones mined must be packed in the baskets distributed by the penal district. ”

Guo Xiong said again.

When Duan Lingtian heard this, he carefully observed it, and really found that:

Those who came in and out carried a large basket behind them.

If you look closely, the baskets behind the people who enter the mine are empty.

As for those who came out, the baskets behind them were full, and they were full of 'holy stones'.

As for why these Four Elephant Altar disciples who served in the 'Punishment Zone' didn't take the precepts, Duan Ling Tian could also guess some reasons:

It must have been when they first came that the penal district took their ordination.

If you keep the vows, wouldn't anyone be able to keep the holy stone privately?

Although it is possible to get them to lift their vows and confess to the Lord for examination every time, it is also impractical to do this every day.

It is the best choice to put away the ring and use a basket in a unified manner.

Sou!

Duan Lingtian and Guo Xiong walked forward for another distance, and not far in front of them, a figure quickly swept over, but it was a middle-aged man wearing the exclusive costume of the Zoroastrian Bronze Flame Elder.

However, looking at the pattern of the robe on his body, it can be seen that he is the bronze flame elder of the Xuanwu Altar.

In this regard, Duan Lingtian was not surprised.

On the way here, Guo Xiong also mentioned to him the composition of the elders of the various mining areas of the Four Elephant Altar.

Except for the Golden Flame Elder and Silver Flame Elder who were the 'Holy Land Elders', the rest of the Bronze Flame Elders were all from each of the Four Elephant Altars, including the 'Xuanwu Altar'.

"Elder Guo Xiong!"

This Xuanwu Altar Bronze Flame Elder happened to be on duty recently to patrol the southern area of the first mining area, and as an elder of the Xuanwu Altar, he naturally knew Guo Xiong.

When facing Guo Xiong, this Xuanwu Altar Bronze Flame Elder also showed a very humble posture.

Even if it was an ordinary Silver Flame Elder in the Xuanwu Altar, he had to treat it respectfully.

Not to mention the law enforcement elder of the Xuanwu Altar in front of him!

"I remember you...... You seem to be called 'Peng Hua'?"

Guo Xiong nodded at this Xuanwu Altar Bronze Flame Elder, and then asked with some uncertainty.

"I'm 'Peng Hua', I didn't expect Elder Guo Xiong to remember me. ”

Hearing Guo Xiong's words, Peng Hua was suddenly a little flattered.

Guo Xiong, as a law enforcement elder, can freely enter and exit the various mining areas of the Four Elephant Altar...... Therefore, after Peng Hua recognized Guo Xiong, Guo Xiong and Duan Lingtian were not hindered.

"This young man...... Could it be the thorn 'Duan Lingtian' who has recently risen in our Xuanwu Altar?"

Looking at the back of Duan Lingtian and the two leaving, suddenly, Peng Hua's pupils shrank, staring at Duan Lingtian's back, as if he had encountered something amazing.

I can't let him not be surprised!

Although he is usually in the 'punishment area' of the first mining area of the Four Elephant Altar, because every once in a while, the disciples of the Four Elephant Altar who make mistakes come to the punishment area, so he also knows something about the outside world.

Among them, there are deeds about 'Duan Lingtian'.

Three months ago, some of Duan Lingtian's 'deeds' had been widely circulated in the altars of the Four Elephant Altars.

After all, it was a new disciple of the Xuanwu Altar who dared to turn his face with the first Silver Flame Elder 'Li An' of the Xuanwu Altar, and it was difficult for the people of the Four Elephant Altars not to pay attention to it.

Of course, what really made Duan Lingtian's reputation spread to the first mining area of the Four Elephant Altar was because of the incident three months ago.

That time, Duan Lingtian killed two Vermilion Bird Altar disciples, but he was not executed, but was only punished to serve in the first mining area of the Four Elephant Altar for ten years.

This incident can be said to have alarmed the entire Sixiangtan, including the 'First Mining Area' and other mining areas.

"Calculate the time...... Today is indeed the day when Duan Lingtian came to serve in our first mining area. This young man beside Elder Guo Xiong should be that Duan Ling Tian, right. ”

Soon, Peng Hua confirmed.

"However, how could an ordinary disciple with a 'Yellow Spirit Root' get the protection of Elder Guo Xiong and even the Holy Land Law Enforcement Hall?"

In this regard, Peng Hua was puzzled.

The news that the Holy Land Bronze Flame Elder 'Wei He' went to the Holy Land Law Enforcement Hall to accuse the Xuanwu Altar Law Enforcement Elder 'Guo Xiong' of using public affairs for personal gain also spread to the First Mining Area.

Even the results of the investigation of the Holy Land Law Enforcement Hall, and even the execution of Wei He three days ago, the first mining area also received the news.

Because of this, everyone realized that not only Guo Xiong was sheltering Duan Ling Tian, but even the Holy Land Law Enforcement Hall was also sheltering Duan Ling Tian!

Regarding the incident that happened in the Vermilion Bird Altar three months ago, there were not many people who really knew about it, and they also knew that if the regular procedure was followed, Duan Ling Tian would die!

But Duan Lingtian didn't die, and he was sheltered by the Holy Land Law Enforcement Hall!

This has to make people think about it.

However, no one linked the 'protection' that Duan Lingtian had received with Duan Lingtian's talent.

The reason for this situation was also because the news that Duan Ling Tian was carrying the 'Yellow Spirit Root' had already spread, and it had already made everyone preconceived that Duan Ling Tian's talent was average.

Otherwise, they didn't have to think about it, they couldn't figure out what Duan Ling Tian had relied on to get the protection of the Holy Land Law Enforcement Hall.

On the other side, Duan Lingtian, under the leadership of Guo Xiong, came to the place where the newcomers in the criminal punishment area of the first mining area were registered.

After bringing Duan Lingtian to the place, Guo Xiong said hello to Duan Lingtian and left again.

Sending Duan Lingtian here also meant that his task was complete.

The person in charge of the registration of the newcomer is a bronze flame elder of the Vermilion Bird Altar.

After learning that the person who registered was 'Duan Ling Tian', the Bronze Flame Elder of the Vermilion Bird Altar couldn't help but feel a spirit, and his gaze at Duan Ling Tian seemed to be a little more jealous.

Between the words, he was also quite polite, and he didn't hate Duan Ling Tian because he had killed the two disciples of their Vermilion Bird Altar three months ago.

In his eyes, Duan Ling Tian was very mysterious, and he seemed to have a 'background', otherwise he would not have been able to obtain the protection of the Holy Land Law Enforcement Hall with the talent of the 'Yellow Spirit Root'.

"Duan Lingtian, according to the rules of our punishment area, your 'acceptance ring' needs to be handed over...... Of course, you don't have to revoke the Lord! When the 10-year period expires and you leave, your vows will be returned to you. ”

The Bronze Flame Elder of the Vermilion Bird Altar said to Duan Ling Tian in a friendly manner.

At the same time, he took out a large basket and a few proprietary costumes and handed them to Duan Lingtian.

"This basket is used to store the holy stones when you mine them...... According to the rules of our penal area, all the holy stones mined must be placed in the basket and handed in, and the holy stones outside the basket are not counted and are not included in the daily task. ”

The Vermilion Bird Altar Bronze Flame Elder patiently explained to Duan Ling Tian.

Duan Lingtian nodded, he had already learned about this from Elder Guo Xiong before, so he was not surprised.

"But this basket ...... It seems to be a size bigger than the basket most people carry......! Few of the Four Elephant Altar disciples I saw who served in the penal area carried such a big basket!"

Looking at the basket in his hand, Duan Lingtian said secretly.

The current Duan Lingtian still doesn't know that in the penal area, baskets are generally divided into two types:

One of them was the ordinary basket, which was also the basket carried by most of the disciples of the Four Elephant Altar he had just seen.

The other is the extra-large basket in his hand, which does not exceed a hundred in the entire punishment area...... The volume of this basket is twice as large as that of ordinary baskets!

In other words, the disciples of the Four Elephant Altar with such a king-sized basket can walk half the distance less in the process of handing in the holy stone.

The number of sacred stones transported back and forth in this extra-large basket at one time is comparable to the number of sacred stones that can be transported back and forth twice in ordinary baskets.

Because of this, in the 'penal area' of the first mining area of Sixiangtan, the extra-large basket is also a very sought-after thing, and if you don't have enough strength, you may not be able to keep it.

This is also one of the tempering exercises of the Zoroastrian Four Elephant Altar for the disciples in the punishment area.

Only the strong are qualified to have a king-size basket!

Generally, the disciples of the Four Elephant Altar come here to register, and whether they can get the extra-large basket depends on luck, because the extra-large basket is only distributed once in a while.

In addition, the extra-large baskets in the penal area were often taken back when the disciples of the Four Elephant Altars left after their service had expired.

Therefore, the number of extra-large baskets in the penal area has always been controlled at 80 or 90.

And the disciples of the Four Elephant Altars in the punishment area are enough to have thousands of people!

This shows how precious the 'extra-large basket' is!
