Chapter 113: Unlucky Defection
Although everyone is eager to go back to Dongshi to eat and drink immediately, and then go home to sleep a lot, they still need to deal with the "scene" before that.
First of all, you need to dig a passage, otherwise how to explain to the master how they came out?
Then the corpse needs to be disposed of, especially the body of a girl surnamed Meng, her grandfather is a real person, and he will come to investigate it more or less.
In the end, the ceiling of the immortal mound needs to be repaired, and there is no trace of it, on the one hand, to avoid the investigation of the division, and on the other hand, to prevent the three from escaping.
And this work must be completed as soon as possible, and it is best to be able to do it before dark today, otherwise after a long time, the division will definitely send someone to investigate.
Dong Xiaoping had already purchased the tools for digging the hole, so he didn't have to use spells to dig the hole like in the hole. Shovels and shovels are much more efficient and safer, much easier than before.
"It's so tiring, I don't know if I can dig it through before dark...... Boss, although there are a lot of us, there are a few men!" the yellow dwarf complained.
There were only six men in the men, and they took turns digging in groups of three, which was really tiring because they were in a hurry. Although the women also have a certain amount of strength, they can only be responsible for carrying earth and rocks, and it is too slow for them to dig.
The boss refers to Dong Xiaoping, because he is the head of the mutual aid association, and in this group of people, except for a few who are close to him, everyone else shouts like this.
Dong Xiaoping smiled bitterly: "Then what can be done?"
"If you want me to say, let's let those three people dig too, I see that Zhang Chunhua is quite stout, and the strength must be not small, just the three of them form a group, so that we have three groups of people, and the progress can be much faster." "Huang Xiaozi already had a plan in his heart.
"Senior Brother Huang, this method is good!" Gu Changsheng stopped digging, wiped his sweat, and said, "Why should the three of them enjoy Qingfu?"
Immediately afterwards, a number of people spoke out in agreement.
Dong Xiaoping pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "That's okay, but you have to take care of them, after all, they are not really their own people...... In this way, the resting group will be in charge of them, and you women will also help to watch them. β
After saying that, he used the Tianya Technique to return to the immortal mound, brought the three of them out, and let them participate in the work of digging holes.
Due to the addition of new forces, the progress of digging the hole has suddenly become much faster.
Xie Shihui pretended to work hard, while constantly looking around, from time to time to look at Chen Tieniu in front of him and Zhang Chunhua on the right.
He pondered in his heart: "Although it is said that there is a place to cultivate, but that person surnamed Dong is too naΓ―ve, how can a whole twenty people keep secrets all the time? Everyone has their own thoughts, even if no one informs them, who can guarantee that there will never be infighting? You must know how precious those treasures are!"
"If you want to cultivate quietly in the immortal mound, it is a fantasy! Once there is civil strife or someone informing, others don't know, and I and the other two will definitely die if I am under house arrest.
"The best way is to report to the master, and I haven't done anything against the rules, the master will only give me a reward, and there will be absolutely no punishment!
"Therefore, we must not be placed under house arrest, we must take advantage of the opportunity to escape now! Today is the only chance, we must seize it!
"It's just that the arrangement of the surnamed Dong is quite orderly, and there have been several pairs of eyes staring intentionally or unintentionally, even going to the toilet, it's not easy to do......"
Dong Xiaoping, where did they know his thoughts, and they were still excitedly discussing where to go to have a good meal after everything was done.
It was their turn to rest, but Xie Shihui still didn't come up with a way to escape.
Chen Tieniu beside him suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "Hey, there's a pheasant there! Haha, the food delivered to the door! You wait, I'll catch it and make a chicken for everyone!"
Everyone followed his gaze, and there was indeed a pheasant not far away, and they immediately became greedy. Although Dong Xiaoping brought food before, it was all some easy-to-carry flatbread and the like, which could not satisfy hunger!
Chen Tieniu held a shovel in his hand, cautiously touched the pheasant, and saw that there was meat to eat, and the hearts of other people also rose, for fear that an atmosphere would alarm the pheasant, and a bunch of people drooled, but they didn't want the chicken in their mouths to fly.
Their worries are unnecessary, Chen Tieniu Orion was born, and he is no stranger to catching pheasants, until he almost touched the pheasant's butt, it has not yet been discovered.
Now is the time!
Under the gaze of everyone, Chen Tieniu suddenly rushed forward with strength.
The pheasant was so frightened that it flapped its wings and fled to the side. However, Chen Tieniu didn't care about it, but threw down the shovel and ran frantically down the mountain.
"Oh no! he's going to run away!" Ge Xiaoyue stood up and shouted.
Everyone was shocked, and a few who reacted quickly had already chased them out.
Xie Shihui was also dumbfounded, he didn't expect Chen Tieniu to look honest and honest, he actually had the same idea as him, and came up with such a way, but if he was the first to tell the truth, he would also be punished by his master.
But from another point of view, this is also his chance, everyone else has gone after Chen Tieniu, and he can take advantage of the chaos to escape.
"Don't panic!" Dong Xiaoping, who was digging a hole, stopped what he was doing and calmly ordered: "One group and two groups will chase after each other! The others will stay and supervise each other, and no one is allowed to leave here!"
After speaking, he immediately beckoned Gu Changsheng, Huang Xiaozi, Yang Aniu, Liu Ye, and Lao Jin to chase after Chen Tieniu.
Everyone suddenly woke up to the fact that there were still two people who were not completely trusted!
Xie Shihui heard Dong Xiaoping's order, his heart was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, he understood that he could no longer take advantage of the chaos to escape, and with Chen Tieniu's precedent, Dong Xiaoping would take more strict precautions in the future.
But if he doesn't take the opportunity to run, he is now in a dilemma.
Dong Xiaoping said as he ran: "We have rested the longest and have the most physical strength, so we will definitely be able to catch up with him!"
"Yes, don't kill him for a while, this bastard!" Gu Changsheng gritted his teeth.
However, Chen Tieniu is good at running, although the distance between them and Dong Xiaoping has not been lengthened, but it has not become shorter.
"Oh no! we have to catch him quickly, and sooner or later we'll run into someone else!" said Huang Xiaozi worriedly.
"Damn, I'll try to shoot a fireball!" Gu Changsheng suddenly stopped and fired a fireball.
Since it took a certain amount of time to condense the fireball, when the fireball was launched, Chen Tieniu was already more than twenty steps away from him. At this distance, the Fireball Technique basically doesn't have much of a hit rate against a running target.
Sure enough, the fireball missed unsurprisingly.
The rest of the people saw that this trick didn't work, so they had to run desperately and hang behind Chen Tieniu.
It didn't take long for a group of people to run to the bottom of the mountain.
"Oops! there are three monks in front!" the yellow dwarf's sharp eyes first spotted three monks in the distance walking in their direction.
Chen Tieniu shouted in surprise: "Help me from the same door!"
"Don't panic, everyone, it's likely that those three people will walk away, after all, not everyone likes to mess with right and wrong!" Dong Xiaoping comforted everyone.
Hearing this, the three monks did not hesitate, and directly accelerated and ran towards Chen Tieniu.
Dong Xiaoping's face sank, and the pace of progress slowed down invariably.
This is in trouble!
Although it is six against four, they may not be able to win the battle, they are all first-level cultivators, and those three monks will not be lower than them in any case, and even if they win, it is absolutely impossible to annihilate them all.
Not being able to completely annihilate means that the secret is exposed, and their group can only leave the Qingbo Gate and become a loose cultivator, and they may not be able to escape the pursuit of the division.
After Chen Tieniu and the three monks converged, he took a breath and said quickly: "Three fellow disciples! These people have discovered the immortal mound and plan to steal the treasure!"
His language was very concise, in order to tie the three men to his chariot in the shortest possible time.
Then he quickly said: "The six of them are all first-level cultivators, if the three of them are defeated, we will flee separately, and they will not dare to chase them." β
This means that if the three of you are confident that we can win, we will fight, and if you can't win, we will flee separately.
The three monks were two men and one woman, a young man, a young man, and a young girl.
Chen Tieniu's words were mainly addressed to young men, generally speaking, age and cultivation are directly proportional.
"You don't have to run away. The little boy said calmly.
"Why?" Chen Tieniu looked at the young man.
The young man did not speak, and his expression was very strange.
"Run, everyone else is chasing after you!" the little girl said with a grin.
Although Chen Tieniu was strange in his heart, he didn't mean to be nervous at all when he saw these three people, so he put his heart down.
He turned around and saw that Dong Xiaoping had chased after him, and then the next moment, he felt a pain in his vest, and a small dagger appeared on his chest.
He looked back in disbelief to see the young man yelling at him, "Die!" and kicking him in the back.
The dagger was pulled out, and Chen Tieniu fell to the ground, blood gushing out of his back. As a result of the stabbing in the heart, Chen Tieniu was quickly killed.
"Dongfang Yan, Lin Jinshi, Huang Youyou, why are you here. Dong Xiaoping said with a smile.
These three people are Dongfang Yan and others.
Dongfang Yan also smiled: "This matter is a long story, but you guys are fine." β
It turned out that the tunnel on Yuling Peak was discovered, and Lin Jinshi came to Dong Xiaoping to report the matter, but Liu Xiaoyun told him that Dong Xiaoping had not returned home for several days.
Lin Jinshi felt that something was wrong in his heart, so he went to find Huang Qing and the others, but he didn't expect the others to disappear.
He was greatly alarmed, so he called Dongfang Yan and Huang Youyou to inquire about the traces of Dong Xiaoping and others everywhere, and finally found out that they were going to do the task of guarding the white karst cave, so he rushed to Bairong Mountain, and happened to encounter the scene just now.
"It's a good thing you're here, otherwise we would have to die in the world!" Dong Xiaoping said with a smile.
The rest of the people looked at each other and smiled in unison.
Due to the urgency of time, everyone only exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then carried Chen Tieniu's body back to the mountain, and the blood stains were also treated with fire.
The people who were restlessly waiting on the top of the mountain finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that they had successfully brought Chen Tieniu back.
But why are there three more strangers?
Most of the people waiting on the top of the mountain didn't know Dongfang Yan and the others, and they were uneasy in their hearts. Dong Xiaoping had no choice but to arrange for Ge Xiaoyue to introduce him.
If you want to keep it secret for a long time, you have to build a team that trusts each other.
Ge Xiaoyue was articulate, and in just a few words, she made the relationship between these people and Dong Xiaoping clear, and the outer disciples and Lao Jin quickly took off their guard against the three of them.
They are not stupid, the reason why they were able to trust these three people so quickly was mainly because of the guarantee of Dong Xiaoping and the nine people, and the three of them were the first to come to the rescue, doesn't this explain the problem?
Lao Jin waited for Ge Xiaoyue to finish speaking, and then talked about what happened at the foot of the mountain just now, and told Chen Tieniu about the unfortunate thing of asking three of his own people for help, which made everyone laugh.
In order to better integrate into the core of this team, he can be regarded as painstaking.
"Chen Tieniu's body must be placed in a white cave, not buried outside...... He didn't deserve to die outside. Huang Qing was ostensibly reminding everyone, but he looked at Xie Shihui and Zhang Chunhua intentionally or unintentionally.
Xie Shihui looked at Chen Tieniu's corpse, and the corners of his mouth twitched unnaturally. It's not that he doesn't want to run, but he doesn't find a suitable opportunity to escape, and he doesn't dare to try it easily.
After the turmoil passed, he continued to dig, and Dongfang Yan took Chen Tieniu's place.
Half an hour later, it was finally dug through, and the first work was completed.
But at this moment, another uninvited guest came.
