Chapter 0765 - Thirty Years of Gathering
In another room, Xu Bansheng saw a lot of shark suits that were the same as the newly changed clothes on the knife maniac just now, but there was no one in this room, and even in the entire courtyard, except for the room just now, there was no one in any room. It seems that the two people outside the door are right, this deep-sea kingdom created by Lu Hanyu has already existed in name only, and it may fall apart at any time.
Without hesitation, Xu Bansheng smoothed out two sets of shark suits and put them into the storage ring on his body.
After taking a turn in the courtyard, Xu Bansheng found a place where mana fluctuations were more special, he approached and carefully inspected it for a long time, and smiled toothily, this is a teleportation array.
Although he didn't know where the teleportation array would send it, combined with what the two guys outside the door said, and no one else was found here, there was no doubt that this teleportation array must be the palace leading to the Lu Heavenly King.
At least, also near the royal palace.
As for the guy sleeping soundly in the room, Xu Bansheng did not have the slightest doubt that he might be the contemporary Lu Tianwang.
That person is more than a hundred years old, and even if Lu Hanyu's descendants don't succeed, they can't be more than a hundred years old and only have the cultivation of the foundation of the Triple Heaven. Moreover, no matter what, even if it is a puppet, it is also a contemporary king, and it is impossible not to have even a guard by his side.
Unless there is a hidden room here, the "inside" that the two of them are talking about must be referring to the place where they can go together from this teleportation array.
Of course, Xu Bansheng would not enter the teleportation array recklessly. The activation of any teleportation array requires the interaction of mana, but I am afraid that as soon as he walks into the teleportation array, the fluctuating mana will alarm the three people here.
There was the sound of footsteps behind him. Xu Bansheng turned his face and saw that it was the guard who claimed to be convenient just now, but actually didn't know where to hide and sleep, and walked out.
Xu Bansheng secretly followed behind this person, although it caused great fluctuations in mana, but the person in the house came out and saw that it was this guard, and went back to sleep without saying a word.
Following that person closely, Xu Bansheng easily left the White Tiger Hall.
The two guards were scolding and chatting with each other again. Xu Bansheng took advantage of the fact that they were fighting with each other and causing the mana to stir here, and quickly left the range of the formation.
Originally, Xu Bansheng didn't plan to leave now. After discovering the teleportation array inside, Xu Bansheng estimated that the two people must have left through the teleportation array, and when these two people walked on the teleportation array, Xu Bansheng could completely stealthily follow. Silently followed the two to the heart of the Trench Kingdom. However, the conversation between these two people made Xu Bansheng know a message, that is, there is a change of guard here every month, and there are still ten days before these two people change their guards. For such a long time, of course Xu Bansheng will not stay here, this short half day is enough for Xu Bansheng to analyze many things, he knows. It will not be difficult to obtain the Spirit Cold Spring to complete the mission.
After leaving the White Tiger Hall, Xu Bansheng casually dived into the depths of the trench.
Along. He had encountered a lot of loose cultivators, but all of those casual cultivators were focused on the surrounding springs that might erupt at any time, and they didn't notice his presence.
After diving for tens of thousands of feet, I passed many buildings similar to the White Tiger Hall along the way, and I also saw many overseers who were the same as the original two, and I also saw how they bullied those ragged loose cultivators. I simply don't treat them as human beings, and I am a little unsatisfactory. It was the whip that greeted, and those who smoked were wailing.
Finding a place far away from the overseer, Xu Bansheng saw a loose cultivator curled up in the corner of the trench cliff, his body trembling, his eyes closed, and he seemed to be in pain.
Xu Bansheng took out a set of shark suits from the storage ring, showed his figure, and after changing into the shark suit, he swam towards the loose cultivator.
"Don't hit me, don't hit me......" Feeling someone approaching, the man didn't even have time to open his eyes, and a voice begging for mercy came out of his mouth.
Xu Bansheng said in a low voice: "I'm new here, they said let me come here to collect the Spirit Cold Spring......
The man calmed down a little, but he didn't even seem to have the strength to open his eyes, and his body was still shaking.
Xu Bansheng walked up to the man, squatted down, stretched out his hand and grabbed the man's arm.
A wisp of true qi probed in, and Xu Bansheng found that this person was seriously injured, and his vitality was leaving him little by little, and it seemed that his life was not long in coming.
Took out two pills from the storage ring, one was the Guyuan Pill and the other was the Qi Replenishing Pill, which were all refined when Xu Bansheng was on the earth, and he had not used them since he arrived here, but he didn't expect them to be used on this person's body.
The two pills were stuffed into the man's mouth, and a wisp of true qi appeared in Xu Bansheng's palm, helping him swallow the two pills, and then using the true qi to help him dissolve the medicinal power, and whispered: "Don't be afraid, I gave you a pill with low potency, and I don't know if it can help you, but at least it can ease you a little." ”
After the medicinal power dissipated, the man obviously felt better, although it didn't make much difference, his body no longer trembled as before, and his eyes finally opened slowly.
It may be that seeing the shark suit on Xu Bansheng's body made this person sure that Xu Bansheng was here to pan for gold like him, and his cloudy eyes revealed a little pity for Xu Bansheng.
"How old are you? Why did you come here? It's not what you think it is. ”
That person probably knew that his life was short, so he didn't care about telling the truth, but he couldn't help but feel sorry for him when he saw that Xu Bansheng should be very young.
Xu Bansheng's heart was gloomy, he didn't need that person to explain much, he also understood what that person wanted to express.
"My name is Xu Bansheng, what about you?"
"My name is Zhao Tiezhu...... Alas, why do you ask this, I don't have much to live. Those people must know that, and that's why they let you come to my area. Anyway, I'll tell you all about the springs I'm responsible for. As he spoke, Zhao Tiezhu raised his hand. Point to the surrounding springs.
He drew a circle, although it was far away, but it was enough for Xu Bansheng to see clearly what the area he was responsible for. Then he said, "These are the eleven springs...... Alas, you really shouldn't have come. ”
Xu Bansheng asked, "What's the matter? Aren't you also here to pan for gold? As long as we help them collect enough Linghan Spring, they will give us three days to collect it ourselves." If you're lucky, you can at least get tens of thousands of spirit stones when you go out. By the way, how could you be? There shouldn't be any danger here, right?"
Zhao Tiezhu sighed again, and his eyes were full of pity when he looked at Xu Bansheng. He whispered, "Well, how would you know...... You guess. How many years have I been here?"
"How many years? They say that if you're lucky, you'll be able to collect enough Linghan Spring in two months, and even if you're unlucky, half a year should be enough, right?"
"Two months, half a year, hum," Zhao Tiezhu coughed twice. With a sad look on his face, "I've been here for thirty years. ”
"How is that possible? Aren't these springs going to spew out cold springs anymore?"
"There is a Linghan Spring, and as you said, it can be as short as two months, as long as half a year, and you can collect the amount they specified. ”
"Then why have you been here for thirty years, and have ended up like this?"
"Once you've collected enough of the Chill Spring, they'll indeed give you three days to collect the Chill Spring on your own. But. They will never allow you to take away the cold spring you collected, this is no longer the place it used to be. According to what I've found over the years, the current production of the Linghan Spring here is less than one hundred and two, and these guys will never let anyone other than them take the Linghan Spring out of this trench. ”
This is a situation that Xu Bansheng did not know, and the Linghan Spring was close to drying up. He had heard from the two guards just now that he would not let Sanxiu leave......?
Xu Bansheng couldn't help but think of Qian Ji's words on the flying boat before. Qian Ji said that the guardians here have come to regard Sanxiu as their slaves, collecting the spiritual cold spring for them day after day. At that time, Chen Yuanliang also asked why the scattered cultivators were still flocking to it, and Xu Bansheng knew at that time that this was because the scattered cultivators did not know the truth, they thought that everything was still the same as before, and it was the major sects that knew the truth, but in order to continue to obtain the Linghan Spring, the major sects would not inform any scattered cultivators of the truth. This led to the tragic fate of the loose cultivators.
But Xu Bansheng never thought that the situation here would be so bad, the scattered cultivators all came and went, and the Linghan Spring couldn't be taken away at all.
He frowned, and then asked, "But aren't they afraid that the Inquisition will trouble them?"
"No one can get out, who will go to the Inquisition to denounce them? Moreover, I suspect that the Inquisition has known about the situation here for a long time, but they also need the Spirit Cold Spring, and if the truth is revealed to the world, there will never be a loose cultivator like you and me to send them to death. When the time comes, do you want the people of the Inquisition to come here to collect the Spiritual Cold Spring?"
"Why do you say that the Linghan Spring can't be taken away? They can't rob it openly, so why should they sign any contract with us, and after they come, they just force us to help them collect the Linghan Spring without limits. ”
Zhao Tiezhu shook his head, his eyes full of hatred and anger, and he said, "The contract still has to be signed, and they also have to deal with the inquisition. However, in the current spring, there are very few spiritual cold springs spewing out, and it is said that you will be given three days, but you will not be able to collect many spiritual cold springs in three days. However, although it is not much in three days, it is better than nothing. And when you leave with the Spirit Cold Spring and want to cancel the contract, they will tell you that you need to pay for all the resources you consume to collect the Spirit Cold Spring here. Then, you will find that no matter how you settle the account, in the end, not only will you not be able to take away the Linghan Spring that you collected in those three days, but you will also owe them an account. So, you have to sign a second contract. Of course, when you know that there is a clause on the contract that you will pay for the resources consumed during the contract time, you will definitely save the consumption of resources as much as possible, and hope that you can at least leave the next time you complete the contract. However, the second contract, the amount of Linghan Spring required, you will never be able to collect it without two or three years. ”
Xu Bansheng was stunned. To be continued
