The four of them crouched on a cliff a few miles away from the Spirit Stone Mine Cave, staring at what was happening in the canyon below.

"Say, did you do it?" Deacon Chen stared viciously at the limp man on the ground.

"No, I didn't do it!" said the big man, dying. Since the morning, he has been pulled out of the guard room and thrown into this secret room. Without saying a word, Deacon Chen sealed the meridians with the "Meridian Soul Breaking Hand" and forced him to ask about the whereabouts of the spirit stone.

How did he know? He could only beg for mercy. When the "Meridian Soul Breaker Hand" attacked, all parts of the body were like ten thousand ants biting, and the pain was unbearable. Deacon Chen was anxious to find the whereabouts of the spirit stone, and he was a little more ruthless, this meridian retrograde, the frequency of spiritual power collapse, about to attack once in a quarter of an hour.

"Ahhhhh

Deacon Chen also began to wonder, "Is it really not him who did it?" But Yun Zheng and the others have also checked, and there are not so many spirit stones on their bodies. "Could it be that he was hiding somewhere in the cave and didn't have it with him at all?" his eyes suddenly lit up, and a thought came to him.

A clear light flew in, and Deacon Chen grabbed it. As soon as the spiritual power urged, a voice inside said, "He's going back again!"

Deacon Chen held the sound transmission jade talisman in the palm of his hand and secretly exerted force. The jade talisman turned into a piece of powder and sprinkled it down. He smiled coldly and said in a low voice, "Okay! It seems that you want to fight with Lao Tzu! Okay, then let's see!"

Yun Zheng took advantage of the night to slip into the valley, the night was deep, and no one found it. He crept to a wooden house, stretched out his hand and pushed, and the door creaked open.

"Who is it?" someone whispered. Follow the glimmer of light, and light the oil lamp.

"Don't light the lamp!" Yun Zheng pushed out with a palm, extinguishing the fire he had just polished. "Is it Zhou Yao? I'm the new sect walking Yun Zheng. ”

"Ah, Lord Yun, aren't you leaving?" Zhou Yao exclaimed. Although it was dark in the room, with his seventh-level Qi cultivation, he could naturally see Yun Zheng's appearance clearly. It was indeed Yun Xing, and he had secretly seen it that day, which made him very happy.

"Since you know that there is something going on here, how can you leave?" Yun Zheng said, "What do you know?"

"Lord Yun wants to hear it!" Zhou Yao was surprised and delighted.

"Naturally, what else would I do when I came back?" Yun Zheng said in a low voice.

"Okay, I'll tell you about it!" Zhou Yao gritted his teeth, knowing that if he didn't say it today, he would probably have no chance in the future. Then he took a deep breath and began to speak.

Zhou Yao also had a partner named Chai Wei before, who came to the Liuyun Sect from a small town with him. Since childhood, I have been a good partner, and when I came to the Liuyun Sect, I also supported each other, took care of each other, cultivated together, and looked forward to the future together.

In the sect for more than ten years, the two of them have only cultivated to the seventh level of qi cultivation. If you want to go out and practice, this cultivation is not very good, and besides, they can't even afford the cheapest primary magic weapon, so I'm afraid that there will be no return if they go out.

After picking for a long time in the deacon's courtyard, the two signed up to work as miners in the Lingshi Mine. Although it is hard here, fifteen spirit stones a month, and after three years of work, you can buy an intermediate or even high-level magic weapon, even if you have the capital to go to the depths of the Tiandu Mountain Range or the Misty Immortal Mountain Range to practice.

The two of them came to the pit and worked diligently, although they did not receive any preferential treatment, but they were also peaceful. Two years have passed, and in another year, they will be able to scrape together enough spirit stones to realize their dreams.

On this day, Chai Wei suddenly found him quietly and said to him mysteriously: "Ah Yao, I found something, and I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing?"

"What's wrong?" Zhou Yao was startled and hurriedly asked.

"Look!" he spread out his hand, and in his palm was a shard of shiny spirit stone. Although it was only the size of a fingernail, it exuded an aura that was not inferior to ordinary spirit stones.

"This is ......!" Zhou Yao had a faint guess in his heart. He looked at Chai Wei, who grinned and showed a mouthful of white teeth.

"That's right, that's what you think! This is a medium-grade spirit stone!" Chai Wei said with a smile.

"Then ...... are you going to do it?" Zhou Yao stroked his pounding heart.

"I'm going to give it to the deacon, maybe there's a bonus, so we don't have to work hard here!" he smiled. Since they entered the sect, they hadn't laughed so freely for many years.

"It's okay!" Zhou Yao thought for a while. Anyway, you can't take the spirit stones here, so if you hand them over, you can get some rewards.

"Then I'll go!" Chai Wei said with a smile.

The two talked for a while, and Chai Wei went with joy. Zhou Yao wanted to return this half of the spirit stone to him, he shook his hand and said with a smile: "I still have a few pieces, you can keep this and play!"

However, since then, I have never seen Chai Wei again. Because on the second day, there was a collapse in the mine, and the name of Chai Wei was among the missing people.

The families of the other miners all went with some of the bereavement benefits sent by Liuyun. But Zhou Yao is different, he knows that Chai Wei's death is definitely not that simple.

Three years had passed, and he didn't leave. He found that Deacon Chen and the others had always been on guard against him, and if he really dared to leave the mine, Zhou Yao believed that he would not be able to return to the Liuyun Sect at all.

"Over the years, I've been trying to find an opportunity to talk about it! I know that there are people above Deacon Chen, but I am just unwilling, and Xiao Weizi died like this. Zhou Yao was in tears, and his voice whimpered.

"Okay, I know about this!" Yun Zheng said in a deep voice: "No matter whether this thing is successful or not, you can't stay here, so what are you going to do in the future?"

Zhou Yao's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "As long as you leave this ghost place, you can go anywhere!"

"Okay, then I'll take you away now!" Yun Zheng said.

Zhou Yao looked at the things in the room in embarrassment. Yun Zheng smiled and handed him an ordinary storage bag. "I've sent you, you try to make it, bring everything you want to bring here. ”

"This, isn't it okay?" Zhou Yao was embarrassed to take it, a storage bag cost hundreds of spirit stones.

"What is given to you, you will take. Yun Zheng handed it forward again.

Zhou Yao took it at this time, put his things into the storage bag one by one, and then said to Yun Zheng: "Okay, there is nothing else!"

"Okay, let's go!" Yun Zheng turned around and opened the door and walked outside.

"Hey, who's this in the middle of the night?" said a strange voice.

Yun Zheng sighed. This is Deacon Chen! It seems that he has been eyeing this place for a long time.

A few bright moon stones shone brightly, shining on Deacon Chen's long horse face.

"Isn't Deacon Chen here too?" Yun Zheng said coldly.

"I can't imagine that I have to take precautions, and there are still people who eat inside and out!" Deacon Chen looked at Zhou Yao and said with a sneer.

Zhou Yao was originally very afraid of Deacon Chen, but at this point, it was useless to be afraid, but instead turned his heart sideways and said coldly: "What do you mean by eating inside and outside? I work honestly, take the spirit stone as I do, and don't eat too much." Unlike some people, they communicate with outsiders, fornicate spirit stones, and assassinate the children of the sect. ”

"Hehe, you know a lot!" Deacon Chen looked at Yun Zheng and the others, with a smile on his face, but his eyes were cold.

"So far, I won't hide it from you! I just ask Yun Xing to help say a few good words in front of the master! Help the old man excuse himself. I don't have the shame to stay in the Liuyun Sect anymore, so let's go back to Xiangcheng and become a rich man!" Deacon Chen suddenly lowered his attitude and said pleading to Yun Zheng, a young man who was nearly a hundred years younger than him.

"Hmph, how can I help you speak?"

"Of course not!" Deacon Chen hurriedly smiled and said, "I have great news to tell Yun Xing! With this news, the head of the sect will definitely be impressed with you." With this credit, you will become the head of the sect in the future, and it will be enough to leave a big mark in the history of the sect!"

"How dare you! This is a bit too much!" Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, and hurriedly brushed it off.

"This is an obvious matter!" Deacon Chen said with a smile: "Yun Xing is the first-class young talent of our Liuyun Sect, who else will you choose if you don't choose?" Besides, if this good news is sent, it will be even more stable." ”

"Okay, okay, then let's go and see first?" Yun Zheng didn't know what else he was going to say, so he hurriedly said.

"Yun walks over here!" Deacon Chen said courteously, taking a step forward to help Yun Zheng show the way.

Zhou Yao looked at Yun Zheng with extreme disappointment, and the disappointment and resentment were overwhelming, making him a little unable to breathe. His eyes were on fire, and a breath rushed through his chest, but he couldn't find a place to spray out.

Yun Zheng took a step, suddenly turned around, looked at Zhou Yao and said with a smile: "You can come too!"

Zhou ** was about to shake his head, Yun Zheng stretched out his hand, and a strong spiritual power came from the wrist Zhangmen acupoint, and immediately sealed his spiritual aperture. gave Yun Zheng a belt, and he involuntarily followed Yun Zheng forward.

He was shocked and angry, but now he couldn't think of it. I had to sigh secretly, and scolded Yun Zheng's ancestors for eighteen generations in my heart.

"I came back today just to know the origin of this spirit stone. Yun Zheng took out the medium-grade spirit stone and showed it to Deacon Chen, "I still think that when I get the conclusive evidence, I will go to the senior brother in charge to sue you." However, I am also very happy that Deacon Chen can restrain himself from the precipice and make up for his mistakes. You can rest assured, in front of the senior brother in charge, I will not forget you, this skill, there must be a part of you. Yun Zheng smiled and patted Deacon Chen's shoulder.

Deacon Chen's body stiffened for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Don't dare, as long as the head doesn't remember my mistakes, I'll thank God! Where do you dare to ask for any credit? All the credit is yours." Deacon Chen's face was full of smiles, "Don't worry, when you look back and ask, I know what to say!" Deacon Chen patted his chest and promised.

"Then I'll thank Deacon Chen!"
