Chapter 22: The Charm of Conscience

Three days later.

Chen Ping woke up from his meditation, his spiritual power was vigorously rising, his breath did not dissipate for a long time, and he obviously made small steps of improvement.

Counting the days, today is the deadline for the payment of copper crystals.

After changing into clean clothes, Chen Ping immediately left the cave.

The platform where the Overseer lives is on the perimeter of the mine, with only one access point.

Chen Ping ran quickly along the bumpy road, and soon came to the platform.

In the huge space at this moment, only Meng Yan was sitting alone at a jade table, and Meng Gui and Yu Meichang were nowhere to be found for the time being.

"That's him!"

At the moment when Chen Ping was about to step onto the platform, a familiar exclamation came into his ears.

He turned his head and saw that it was Zhuo Qi, the eldest of the Zhuo family brothers who had fought with him a few days ago.

In front of him, a middle-aged male cultivator stood upright.

He wears a dragon crown on his head, has a serious appearance, and looks full of nobility.

If you want to describe it in one sentence, it is probably like the prince who holds military power in the secular world.

"The head of the mine, it was he who robbed our copper crystal and killed the second brother!"

Zhuo Qi screamed through gritted teeth.

Chen Ping was slightly stunned, then smiled, and said coldly: "Zhuo Qi, I didn't expect you to be so frustrated, even your own brother won't let go!" ”

"Fart!"

Zhuo Qi's face was pale, he took a few steps back, and said grief-stricken: "Okay, obviously you killed the second brother, and you actually framed me, I and the second brother have been supporting each other for decades, all the way through ups and downs, how many life and death catastrophes have been experienced, and you have long been entrusted with your life, how can you be slandered by an outsider!" ”

Good embryos!

A good embryo for acting!

Chen Ping smiled coldly, he didn't bother to get involved with this kind of person at all, and walked straight towards the platform.

"Stop!"

The noble male cultivator stopped in the middle of the road and said coldly: "In the lower section of Gaojing, Lu Daoyou ignored the regulations of the ore vein and killed the miners under my command, so you want to expose it so simply?" ”

"Oh, how are you doing? I didn't kill the person, Lu just cut off one of his legs. ”

Chen Ping said calmly.

The corners of Duan Gaojing's eyes were clamped, and he said unhappily: "Daoyou has the courage to kill, but he doesn't dare to admit it, which really makes Duan look down on him." ”

Between the strange Chen Ping and his subordinate Zhuo Qi, he must be biased towards the latter.

Moreover, since Zhuo Qi and Zhuo Han took refuge in him, they have always advanced and retreated together, and they have a deep brotherhood.

Duan Gaojing didn't believe that the two of them would kill each other at all.

"Why are you gathering in the hallway?"

Meng Yan had already discovered the situation here, so he moved over and asked sternly.

"Master Overseer is in charge of me, he killed my second brother!"

Zhuo Qi seemed to have found the backbone of the heart, and cried out heartbreakingly.

He was deliberately yelling.

The monk is deaf and clear-sighted, so he can naturally attract the overseer not far away.

"Do you think I'm deaf?"

Meng Yan yelled at him, stared at Chen Ping with a stern face, and said coldly: "Meng should have said that day, killing is strictly forbidden in the mine, and if there is a disobedient, he will be held accountable!" ”

"Lu said again, Zhuo Han was not killed by me."

Chen Ping said calmly.

Duan Jinggao hugged his fist towards Meng Yan and said, "Meng Daoyou, this person snatched the copper crystal of the Zhuo family brothers, Zhuo Qi made special marks on several of the ores, you can order him to open the storage bag, let me wait to see if it is true." ”

"Duan Daoyou's words are reasonable."

Meng Yan nodded in approval, and his ugly features squeezed out a smile.

Duan Jinggao is highly powerful and has many miners under his command.

He is also a delicate person with eight faces, and he often goes up and down to honor their group of supervisors, so that Meng Yan also sells him some face on weekdays.

"If you want to see it, you can see it!"

Chen Ping simply shook the storage bag upright, and a large piece of copper crystal was scattered on the ground.

"Lord Overseer, please see, this is the ore that my second brother and I have worked so hard to collect!"

Zhuo Qi flipped to a fist-sized copper crystal with a conspicuous "Zhuo" engraved on it.

"Good boy, you really dare to rob my people!"

Duan Jinggao grimaced and said word by word.

He has been the leader for several years, and it is the first time he has encountered such an arrogant rookie miner.

"What's the matter, grab some property and acquiesce that Lu killed someone?"

Chen Ping sneered, and the Biwen Sword slid down his sleeve silently.

The current situation is not favorable to him, if Meng Yan and the others really take advantage of him, Chen Ping will never be restrained.

These few people on the platform can be slaughtered cleanly at will.

The only thing that was difficult to deal with was that Meng Lingqiu.

You can't beat it, you can only muddy the water and wait for an opportunity to escape.

"It's not, but now that Daoyou is the most suspicious, you still have to think about how to prove your innocence."

Meng Yan's afterglow aimed at the Biwen Sword in Chen Ping's hand, faintly revealing a trace of greed.

Then, he suddenly seemed to remember something, and said with a smile: "By the way, Meng almost forgot that there was a heart talisman on his body, Lu Daoyou, are you willing to give it a try?" ”

"Charm of Conscience!"

When Zhuo Qi heard this, his shoulders trembled involuntarily.

"Meng Daoyou still has such good things?"

Chen Ping's heart moved, and he said in surprise.

Asking the heart talisman, a first-class best talisman.

Crushing and pasting it in the divine court can make the monk fall into a psychedelic realm, so as to go straight to the heart.

However, the Mind Charm only works on Qi cultivators, and its duration is only ten breaths.

After ten breaths, the person being questioned will be awake instantly.

The refining cost of the Asking Heart Talisman is high, and even the Yuanying Sect rarely uses it on a large scale when recruiting disciples.

Therefore, the Question Charm is one of the most unpopular talismans.

No one would have thought that Meng Yan would have a piece of stock in his hand.

I saw Meng Yan rummaging in the storage bag for a while, and finally took out a white talisman like a jade slip between his two fingers.

"This talisman of conscience is still a reward given by an elder after Meng completed a family mission a long time ago."

"I have been in the corner for many years and have not had a chance to use it, and I have almost forgotten it."

Meng Yan's eyes were sharp, and he said calmly: "Lu Daoyou, have you thought about it?" ”

Although he was smiling, he had a tacit understanding with Duan Gaojing when he spoke.

But whenever he says a "no", the two will definitely be resolute and resolute.

Chen Ping smiled indifferently, threw the blue pattern sword, threw it at Meng Yan's feet, and said calmly: "This sword must be more than enough for Meng Daoyou's heart talisman." ”

There is no doubt that a high-grade magic weapon can improve a Qi cultivator.

However, Chen Ping has many hole cards, and the loss of the Biwen Sword has little impact on the overall strength.

"Haha, Lu Daoyou is really not afraid of shadows, how can Meng not be your beauty!"

Meng Yan was overjoyed, picked up the Biwen Sword and carefully observed it several times, before he smacked his lips with satisfaction and handed the Question Talisman to Chen Ping.

The price of this talisman in the market is about three hundred and fifty spirit stones.

And the Biwen Sword is a high-grade magic weapon, at least worth five hundred spirit stones.

Meng Yan not only easily got rid of the difficult seller's heart talisman, but also made a lot of money with spirit stones, which really made him feel very comfortable.

"Don't worry, fellow Daoists, Meng will only ask about the cause of Zhuo Han's death, and never ask more about other irrelevant ones."

Meng Yan arched his hand and reassured, and his eyes when he looked at Chen Ping eased a lot.

The corners of Chen Ping's mouth raised, a strange color flashed in his pupils, and he said coldly: "Lu didn't say that he wanted to use this heart talisman by himself. ”

Meng Yan was slightly stunned, and suddenly understood, and said tentatively: "What do you mean?" ”

"He'll use it!"

Chen Ping pointed at Zhuo Qi and said with a cruel smile: "Zhuo Qi! Since you deliberately framed me, it is reasonable for Lu to turn around and suspect you. ”

Zhuo Qi's face changed, and he said with a blue face: "Good thief, you spew blood!" ”

"I'm afraid that's not right. If Zhuo Qi didn't ask for the result, Meng Daoyou wouldn't have a second heart talisman to spare. ”

Duan Gaojing objected with a cold face.

But before Zhuo Qi's heart was put down, he listened to Chen Ping's convincing words: "If it weren't for Zhuo Qi's doing, Lu would be willing to bow down and be arrested." ”

"Okay, according to the meaning of Daoyou."

Meng Yan hesitated for a while, and finally nodded in agreement.

just took advantage of Chen Ping, and he naturally had no reason not to allow this trivial matter.

"Duan Mine Head!"

Zhuo Qi pleaded helplessly.

"Shut up!"

Duan Jing's expression sank, since Meng Yan had spoken, he couldn't obstruct it in a grand manner.

To put it bluntly, he is just a small mine head, and the Meng Yu family is the heaven of Fujishan Island!

At this time, Yu Meichang, who had a deep friendship with him, didn't know where he was.

Moreover, it was even more impossible for him to brush Meng Yan's face for Zhuo Qi.

"Now that everyone agrees, let's get started!"

Chen Ping smiled gloomily, holding a heart talisman in his hand, approaching Zhuo Qi step by step, his sharp eyes staring at his every move.

Zhuo Qi's face was sweating profusely, his blood was gone, and his legs trembled.

"Zhuo Qi, why did you kill your second brother!"

Chen Ping's words were clear, mixed with a few wisps of divine power, and they violently shook on Zhuo Qi's eardrums, piercing the clouds and cracking stones.

"You... You nonsense, I didn't! ”

Zhuo Ping's forehead was covered with red spots, and he argued pantingly.

Chen Pinghe was furious, and he no longer had the patience to entangle with this "veteran actor".

The right hand was clawed, crushed the Question Talisman, and slapped it directly on Zhuo Qi's Divine Court Acupoint.

Zhuo Qi screamed, instinctively wanting to resist.

But Chen Ping was faster, and after several consecutive beats on him, the latter was paralyzed and sat down straight.

"Zizi"

The effect of the heart talisman appeared instantly, and I saw Zhuo Qi's tightly closed eyes, but the next moment they suddenly opened, and the pupils were already full of confusion.

"Say, who killed Zhuo Han!"

Chen Ping went straight in with a single knife and shouted angrily.

The duration of the Question Charm is so short that it should not be missed.

"Ahh Yes! Yes! ”

Zhuo Qi grabbed his head, a look of pain appeared on his face, and then transformed into boundless hideousness, and said faintly: "I killed the second brother." ”

"Why did you kill him?"

Chen Ping sneered and continued to question.

"His limbs are mutilated, and his path is hopeless......"

Zhuo Qi struggled for two breaths, and then said: "I don't want to carry a burden, I want to go further on the immortal road, I want a lot of immortal cultivation resources." ”

Under the question talisman, Zhuo Qi could not avoid it, and finally said the darkest answer hidden in his heart.

"You idiot, damn thing!"

Hearing this, Duan Gaojing suddenly changed color, his pupils twitched terribly, and at the same time, an uncontrollable anger flashed.

It doesn't matter how Zhuo Han died, but Zhuo Qi shouldn't have deceived him and lost all his face!

"Ahh

Ten breaths of time passed in the blink of an eye, Zhuo Qi woke up from the illusion, and when he saw Duan Gaojing's thunderous appearance, he immediately realized that he was finished......

"Lu Daoyou, it's all my fault in this matter, just assume that Duan owes you a favor."

Duan Jinggao's face turned pale, and he hugged his fist apologetically at Chen Ping.

The favor of a Qi cultivator?

Chen Ping snorted in a nasal voice and smiled contemptuously.

He walked up to Zhuo Qi indifferently and said indifferently: "Meng Daoyou, this person ignores the rules and kills, how to deal with it?" ”

"When the cultivation is abolished, thrown outside the island, and left to fend for itself."

Meng Yan said indifferently.

"I, Zhuoqi, am just a miner you recruited, not a house slave!"

"Why do you punish me?"

Zhuo Qi's eyes were red, and he roared with all his might, and the turban that was tied up collapsed, and his hair was scattered, like madness.

It's just that no one paid attention to him.

In the cultivation world, strength is respected.

The Meng family is a foundation building family, and compared to these low-level loose cultivators, it is like an emperor and a commoner in the mundane, and life and death are decided in a word.
