Chapter 91: Mission
The sword is only a meal, and the kung fu has reached the Tibetan Dao Palace. After saying hello to Mo Lao, who was still hanging under the cabinet, Chang Xi turned around and came to the other end of the Tibetan Dao Palace.
In front of him was the side wall of the main hall, and Chang Xi kept walking and slammed straight into the wall. But the moment the step touched the edge of the wall, the surface of the wall rippled like a calm lake. Chang Xi did not doubt that he had him, and stepped into it.
There was a brief flower in front of me, and then it suddenly brightened. I saw an extremely long counter entrenched in the vast hall, and the high wall behind the counter was covered with countless cyan jade slips, like a sky full of stars. All kinds of disciples of various peaks walked and stopped in front of the various counters, some with hesitant expressions, and some hit it off. The voices of boiling people came into his ears one after another, and Chang Xi smiled and joined in.
This is the place where the inner disciples take over the tasks of the sect, also known as the inner hall.
Different counters have different sect tasks, each performing its own duties. Tasks such as taking care of spirit plants and alchemy refiners, Chang Xi only glanced at them and stopped paying attention to them. Although these tasks are not only not half dangerous, but also pay quite well, how can he introduce sword cultivation and let him fiddle with spirit plants or go to alchemy refining weapons, I am afraid that when the time comes, all the elders who have sent these commissions will jump off the cliff angrily.
The sword master kills is naturally a bloody task.
Chang Xi walked through several counters again, but still didn't find a suitable task. At this time, Chang Xi's eyes swept an inconspicuous cyan jade slip, suddenly stopped, and walked towards the counter.
Amu leaned against the counter and dozed off.
"The ten thousand demons killed by this day will not be harmed sooner or later, but the young master who is selected will come to harm us when he is on duty in the inner hall. Seeing that today is almost over, and a complete task has not been undertaken, this contribution point will also be discounted. ”
Amu muttered in his mouth, rolled his eyelids, looked at a lot of cyan jade slips on the wall behind him, and then looked at the long queue in front of other people's counters, and the depressed color on his face became a little stronger.
It's no wonder that the front door of his counter is full of birds, and if you look closely at the cyan jade slip on the wall behind him, almost half of the tasks are related to fighting, and the rest are even more niche. Recently, the situation in Huizhou has not been peaceful, and a few days ago, there was a tragedy in which the disciples of Qingyun Mountain who participated in the encirclement and suppression of the Ten Thousand Demons did not survive, and among them there were also Jindan Realm monks. Under such a haze, this kind of task of going out to the sect is very likely to fight with the evil cultivators of the Ten Thousand Demons.
"But the senior sister who came to take over the task this morning is really beautiful, I don't know which peak is the disciple? ”
Just as Amuxian was thinking wildly, a dark shadow obscured the light in front of him. Amu immediately raised his head, looking at Chang Xi in front of him as if looking at a string of beating contribution points, and hurriedly offered a smile.
Chang Xi pointed to a place on the wall, "Take that task down and let me take a look." ”
Amu was familiar with the number of each cyan jade slip, and his fingers slid out a string of rhythmic notes, only to see that the cyan jade slip was led by Amu and floated to Chang Xi.
Chang Xi grabbed the jade slip, and a wisp of spiritual power probed into it. After digesting all the details in the jade slip, he raised his head, and a rare look of hesitation appeared on his face.
The explanation in the jade slip is very clear.
More than 5,000 miles west of Qingyun Mountain, there is a spiritual jade mine belonging to the sect, although the scale of the spiritual mine is not small, but most of the ore produced is of low grade, so it is not an important sect industry. Half of the disciples in charge of mining ore in the mine were registered disciples who had been sent to the sect's affiliated properties, and the other half were disciples who had been exiled here for criminal responsibility or other reasons.
The rules of the mine are simple, and the minerals needed by the sect only need to be delivered on time and in quantity every month, and there is no major event for the rest of the time. But recently, several horrific incidents have occurred in the mine, which has been peaceful.
About a month ago, the disciples in charge of patrolling the Lingyu Mine found corpses in the surrounding woods with their bodies drained of essence and blood. After some investigation, it was determined that the body was an ordinary disciple in the mine.
Because the mine site is located in the deep mountains and old forests, there are fierce monsters from time to time. After several investigations to no avail, the murderer of the case was blamed on the head of the demon beast, and the case was hastily closed without further investigation. Although the rest of the disciples have a whisper, after all, it is none of their business, who would bother to speak for a dead person. Of course, this incident did not make much waves, and it was quickly wiped out by everyone.
But I never thought that after this incident, more victims began to appear one after another, and the deaths were all sucked dry of the essence and blood of the whole body. What's even more terrifying is that those dried corpses that have been sucked only skin and bones still have a chilling weird smile on their faces.
Some disciples even claimed that when they were relieved in the middle of the night, they saw their already sleeping friend get up as if sleepwalking, lost his soul, staggered into the dense forest, and never came out.
All the disciples in the mine were panicked for a while, afraid that the next one would be their turn to be sucked dry by the soul of the desperate ghost. This extreme depression finally broke out completely after the body of a Foundation Realm monk was discovered, and all the disciples who were terrified to the limit gathered all their contribution points together and jointly sent this request for help to the sect.
"D-level missions, in terms of danger, are only below C-level..."
Chang Xi rubbed the jade slip in his hand, carefully thinking about the stakes. After all, this is a time of turmoil in Huizhou, and the practice of sucking out other people's essence and blood is indeed like an evil way. If this secretly coveting the essence blood of the monk is a demon and a non-human, then it is still easy to deal with. If it's a human or a demon, then you have to really consider whether there is more than one enemy.
Just as Chang Xi's mind was in a hurry, he suddenly saw that there were two small avatars in the lower right corner of the information in this jade slip, one of which had already lit up.
Chang Xi couldn't help but be stunned, what does this mean?
Amu looked at the position pointed by Chang Xi, patted his head and said, "This senior brother, I'm really embarrassed, look at my forgetfulness, this task has actually been set by a senior sister earlier today." The two avatars below are strongly requested by the commissioning publisher, which means that a minimum of two people are needed to take on the task. ”
Chang Xi couldn't help frowning and said, "At least two of you?"
"How can you forget the fairy-looking senior sister when she sees it? But that senior sister's information, senior brother, you just need to use your spiritual power to probe the light up avatar, we can't talk too much. Amu touched his head and resolutely implemented his professional ethics.
A wisp of spiritual power probed in again, looking at a lifelike portrait that emerged from the jade slip, Chang Xi smiled: "It turned out to be her." ”
Amu was surprised: "Senior brother knows that fairy senior sister?"
Chang Xi nodded undeniably.
"Senior brother is amazing, as long as senior brother takes over this mission, isn't it beautiful to be accompanied by beauties along the way?" Amu looked at Chang Xi's eyes and suddenly worshipped, and his thumb was even more slammed.
Chang Xi shook his head with a smile, and didn't want to explain more, so he took over the task, took off the disciple's nameplate and handed it to Amu for registration. A moment later, another black avatar in the mission jade slip lit up. As Yu Jian trembled slightly, there seemed to be a vague connection between the two avatars.
Amu handed the disciple's nameplate and the task jade slip back to Chang Xi, and Chang Xi put the jade slip away, ready to go back and set a departure time with the person on the other end of the jade slip. Just about to turn around and leave, out of the corner of his eye, he inadvertently glanced at an inconspicuous task jade slip in the corner and stopped.
"That piece of jade, take a look at it with me. ”
