Walk through the bamboo forest.

Qiu Fei came to this large area, although most of the houses were bamboo houses, there were still one or two brick and stone buildings in the middle.

Qiu Fei saw that there was a bamboo sign hanging at the door of all the houses, with the words A, B, C, D written on it, and there were people working in each room.

Qiu Fei wondered in his heart, wasn't Gu Xuanmen a sect that focused on cultivation? Why do these people look like migrant workers one by one?

Along the way, Qiu Fei made a new discovery, and the bamboo sign hanging at the door of the house was no longer the words A, B, etc., but directly turned into numbers.

These numbers ranged from thirteen to one hundred, and there were people in every room who were busy, and there was no time to take care of Qiu Fei, a newcomer.

Qiu Fei walked all the way, and when he came to the brick and stone house, he finally saw a bamboo sign of "deputy owner".

The door was open, and two strong men were sitting inside, and at this moment, there was a casual conversation without a word.

One of them had a dark face, not angry and arrogant, and quite imposing, while the other had a white face and a beard, and looked very elegant.

Qiu Fei knocked on the door.

The two of them turned their heads to look at Qiu Fei, and in an instant, a strong aura erupted from both of them at the same time.

What a powerful coercion!

Qiu Fei's heart froze, and he hurriedly shook the report letter in his hand, "Disciple...... The newcomer who has just been assigned to the mining workshop ......"

As soon as the words fell, these two powerful auras disappeared immediately.

The swarthy strong man stood up, a smile already on his face, "It's a newcomer, welcome!" ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward to take the report letter in Qiu Fei's hand, glanced at it casually, and looked disappointed when he saw the information on it.

"This realm is a bit low!"

As he spoke, he handed the report to the other person, and there was a look of hesitation on his face.

The white-faced and elegant man took it and glanced at it, nodding silently.

"The mining workshop is short of manpower."

This person put down the report letter and raised his eyes to look at Qiu Fei, "Qiu Fei, your realm is a bit low, you just turned sixteen, right?" Can you endure this suffering? ”

"Returning to my predecessors, I am not afraid of hardship."

Qiu Fei replied firmly.

But I thought in my heart that we workers are not afraid of hardship and fatigue, but are afraid of poverty.

The white-faced and elegant man nodded, very satisfied with Qiu Fei's answer.

Immediately, he pointed to the wall behind him and said to Qiu Fei: "You are a newcomer, and you can't be sent to the new mining area according to the regulations."

Pick any of these mines from thirteen to fifty, and then I'll send someone to send you there. ”

Qiu Fei looked at the wall behind the other party, and posted a hand-painted color drawing on it, which was the overall mining map of the mining workshop.

In the mining map, the mining workshop is located in the very center, and around it, there are many small red dots densely distributed.

These small red dots are clearly marked with numbers, and the more they expand, the more sparsely distributed the red dots become, and the larger the values marked on.

Among them, the largest number has reached one hundred and fifty-six.

"Returning to the owner."

Qiu Fei looked puzzled, and said cautiously: "This...... Any beneficiation area, the disciple is not very clear, can you explain it? ”

The elegant man chuckled and said, "These dozens of mining areas from the thirteenth to the fiftyth belong to the old mining area, and the main minerals in them have been mined, but there is still a margin.

Let you choose because you are a newcomer, and you have a process of adapting to it when you first arrive.

Another reason is that these old mining areas are relatively safe, there is no danger, and they are more suitable for new disciples. ”

Qiu Fei listened, and his eyes stayed on the distribution map of the mining workshop for a long time.

Finally, he pointed to the small red dot marked with the eighteenth number and said, "Disciple...... Let's choose the No. 18 mining area. ”

The elegant man glanced at the dark-faced man, and a hint of complexity flashed in his eyes.

"Are you sure?"

The elegant man asked.

Qiu Fei nodded resolutely, "Back to the deputy owner, I'm sure." ”

The dark-faced man said: "Zhong Mouchun, the captain of the eighteenth district, happens to be in the fangbu, so I will call him over." ”

As he spoke, the man took out a talisman from his bosom and said to it, "Captain Zhong, come to the mining workshop." ”

With that, he threw the talisman into the air.

I saw the white light in the void flicker, and the talisman disappeared.

Soon.

A rough voice came from outside the door, "Deputy Fang Master Huang, Lao Zhong and I are about to go back to the mining area, you are urging your life, what is the urgency?" ”

As soon as the words fell, a tall, stout body appeared in the sight of the three of them.

He stood at the door of the room, like a huge tower, the whole door was blocked by him, and the light in the room was much dimmer.

Don't look at him as tall and stout, but his face is very immature, and he will never be more than thirty years old.

"Captain Zhong is still so impatient."

The dark-faced Huang deputy owner happily beckoned Zhong Mouchun into the house, pointed at Qiu Fei and said, "Qiu Fei, new disciple, go to your eighteen mining area." ”

"Newcomer?"

Zhong Mouchun looked at Qiu Fei with an indifferent expression.

Qiu Fei hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "New disciple Qiu Fei, I have seen Captain Zhong. ”

Zhong Mouchun spoke very directly, "Since you have chosen my mining area, then follow me, as long as you don't regret it."

I just received a report that there was another homicide in the mining area. Eggs! This is the second one this month. ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand at the two deputy owners, "Two senior brothers, let's go!" ”

Qiu Fei was slightly stunned, is there such a danger in the mining workshop?

Huanglong Wasteland.

The No. 18 mining area is located, and the radius is full of wasteland and Gobi.

The climate is dry and vegetation is scarce, and the gray-yellow wasteland is a stark contrast to the leafy mountains and forests in the distance.

The Huanglong Wasteland is more than 500 miles away from the mining workshop and is located in its northwest direction.

Qiu Fei and Zhong Mouchun took the spirit crane fed by the Feeding Workshop, and arrived here after an hour's flight.

The crane landed smoothly in the open space in front of the rows of houses, and the powerful impact of its wings splashed up the dust and sand in the sky.

"The captain is back!"

In the dust, someone shouted.

With a "hula" sound, more than a dozen strong men immediately ran out of the rows of houses, surrounding Zhong Mouchun and Qiu Fei, who had just jumped off the crane.

"Captain, you're finally back!"

Everyone shouted and gathered around Zhong Mouchun.

Qiu Fei was ignored and pushed aside.

A man squeezed in front of Zhong Mouchun with a crying voice, "Captain, Xiao Liuzi is dead, and in less than an hour after going down to the mine, the person will be gone."

Now, the brothers in the mining area are panicking, and they are looking forward to your early return and kill that demonic beast. ”

"Can you find the lair of the monster?"

Zhong Mouchun asked.

Someone replied, "Captain, we don't even know what the monster looks like, where can we find its lair?" ”

"Where's the corpse of the little six sons?"

Zhong Mouchun asked again.

"It's still in Cave 35."

A strong man replied, "I have sent a few junior disciples to protect the scene and prevent others from approaching, so that the captain can inspect it." ”

"Then go check it out."

Zhong Mouchun said and walked forward.

Thinking of something, he suddenly stopped, and his eyes fell on Qiu Fei who was outside the crowd, "Liu Xi, this newcomer, you can arrange it." ”

One person in the crowd responded, "Yes!" Captain. ”

As Zhong Mouchun and the others left, after Linghe sent the two to their destination, they also left on their own, leaving Qiu Fei and a short and fat middle-aged man at the scene.

This person must be Liu Xi in Zhong Mouchun's mouth.

Qiu Fei took a step forward and saluted Liu Xi, "Disciple Qiu Fei, I've seen Senior Brother Liu." ”

Liu Xi's fat face was full of smiles, and he waved his fat hand, "Everyone is the same brother and brother, don't be so polite." ”

As he spoke, Liu Xi pointed to a barren mountain not far away, "In the future, you will live there." ”

Qiu Fei raised his eyes and saw that the barren mountains were densely packed with caves of different sizes and sizes.

The bottom of his heart sank, and Qiu Fei had a bad feeling.

Unexpectedly, the living environment of the mining workshop was so bad, which completely subverted his inherent view of Gu Xuanmen.

"Give me the nameplate."

Liu Xi stretched out his hand to Qiu Fei.

Qiu Fei handed his nameplate to the other party according to his words, and there was already a sigh in his heart.

He thought of the hardships of the outer disciples, and he was fully mentally prepared, but he didn't expect that he still looked up to Gu Xuanmen.

Who would have thought that in the eyes of outsiders, the glamorous, powerful, and highly respected Gu Xuanmen would be supported by thousands of disciples of the outer sect who were as cheap as ants.

"Cave One Hundred and Thirty-Two."

After Liu Xi operated on the nameplate, he returned it to Qiu Fei, "This cave has not been vacated for a long time, the location is high, the light is good, and the aura is relatively strong.

This is a medium-to-upper cave house, and the effect of meditation and cultivation at night is good, and you are a newcomer, so it will be cheap for you kid. ”

Qiu Fei took the nameplate and looked at it, and sure enough, it clearly showed the number of the cave he would live in.

After thinking about it, Qiu Fei asked, "Senior Brother Liu, such a good cave mansion, why don't the other senior brothers live there?" ”

Liu Xi looked at Qiu Fei expressionlessly, "The former owner of the cave mansion has just died violently, and the senior brothers who know the inside story are all disgusted with it!" ”

I see!

Qiu Fei was relieved and didn't say more.

"It's a mine hoe."

Liu Xi took out a sharp-mouthed mine hoe from his storage bag and handed it to Qiu Fei, "Your mine cave is also No. 132, and you can go to mine tomorrow." ”

As he spoke, he pointed farther into the wasteland, "Twenty miles ahead, there is the mining area.

The mining workshop does not have high requirements for newcomers, you can hand in ten ores per month, you have completed the task, and the rest of the time can be arranged freely.

Of course, if you fail to complete the task, you will be punished accordingly, and the next month's task will be doubled, and the sect points will be deducted.

So, newcomer, for your own future, don't be lazy. ”

Liu Xi said, ignored Qiu Fei anymore, moved his short and fat body, and left with relief.

Qiu Fei walked to the barren mountain.

The barren mountains are no more than fifty zhang high, but they are four or five miles long, and they are all made of hard loess, and there is not a trace of vegetation on them.

In the mountains, there are criss-crossing paths up and down, and on the mountains next to these paths, many caves have been excavated.

There are many caves, far beyond Qiu Fei's imagination, and there are thousands of them.

In other words, there are thousands of miners in the Eighteen Mining Area alone, who work hard to mine ore for Gu Xuanmen and earn a small amount of sect points.
