A week is about to pass, and the day after tomorrow is the day when the spirit stones are distributed, and the victims of the immortal law rely on these spirit stones distributed every week to survive. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Midnight.

A faint beam of fire shined through the crack in the room and hit Gu Cheng's eyes, Gu Cheng woke up, rubbed his eyes, put his head against the crack in the firewood room, and looked out.

The next picture surprised Gu Cheng quite a bit.

The melting pot in the distance was still operating, and the dark red slurry gushed out, and this dark place was illuminated with red fire, and at this time, many C-class students were still cultivating weapons.

Gu Cheng walked out of the door and observed, only to know that they were in a hurry.

As for the reason for rushing to work, Gu Cheng couldn't figure it out, they had been working diligently, how could they worry about not meeting the standard?

Gu Cheng was not worried about this, he was very quick to get started, and the weapons he cast far exceeded expectations, and it was not a problem to meet the standard.

He had plenty of time to do something else.

The next morning, when others were still worried about reaching the standard, Gu Cheng had already found time to smelt the sword fan that was left behind

In order to ensure the secrecy of the sword, last night, Wu Ting proposed to personally protect Gu Cheng's Fa, and Gu Cheng couldn't shirk it.

At this time, Wu Ting had already put on a costume and laid a witch array next to the furnace.

Outside this witch array, ordinary people could only see Gu Cheng working hard.

In fact, inside the Witch Array, Gu Cheng was mixing materials and putting them into the furnace for smelting.

The purpose of smelting is to melt the material into a molten liquid, and at the same time, it also further removes impurities from the inside, making the cast sword more pure.

The most important thing in this step is to have the appropriate proportion of raw materials, which will largely determine the quality of a sword.

Gu Cheng naturally knew this, so he distributed the materials very carefully.

Gu Cheng relied on a little memory to find the initial feeling, and gradually began to get started.

According to that feeling, Gu Cheng's technique became quite superb, and every detail was not missed, there is no doubt that this is body memory.

The human body acquires memories very slowly, but once they do, they forget very slowly. For example, some professional athletes on the planet, even if they retrain after 20 years of retirement, they can quickly return to good athletic condition, which is body memory!

Gu Cheng couldn't remember the details of the sword casting in his mind, but his body couldn't forget these memories.

In the end, Gu Cheng also threw those stones with huge energy into the furnace, this energy is the way to activate the spirit of the sword, without this energy, the sword cast can only be a waste sword.

As for the energy, he really didn't need to worry, there was too much energy, and it all came from the corpse qi floating in the air.

Soon, the solution was ripe, and Gu Cheng poured the liquid that had been smelted into Jian Fan. He was not in a hurry, if he wanted the solution to cool and solidify, he would need to bring a few more days before the sword could be half-formed.

........

A night has passed, and today is the day to distribute spirit stones, and Gu Cheng has not had time to rest, so he has to rush to the square.

Square!

Gu Cheng hurried to the square where the spirit stone was issued, and Wu Ting couldn't let go of Gu Cheng, so he also followed.

Gradually, more and more people gathered, and one after another continued to pour in from the entrance, and there was a black crowd of people everywhere they looked, and they were in an uproar.

At this moment, the crowd suddenly gave way to a way.

On the vacant road, a figure walked up to the high platform of the square, and it was a big man.

The big man has a round and full body, his black face is covered with a dense beard, and he is covered with animal fur, which is obviously not Jin Wuwei.

"Who is he?" Gu Cheng lowered his voice and approached Wu Ting to ask.

"He is the staff behind the elder, and he is responsible for distributing spirit stones to C-class students. Wu Ting explained.

"Quiet!"

As soon as Dahan walked on stage, he looked around and shouted.

There was no threat in this shout, because it was not a threat, but it made the noise of the whole square suddenly disappear. Gu Cheng looked at the big man, it was hard to imagine that even the staff who dealt with the general affairs had such a great deterrent power, but if you think about it, it is right, after all, the spirit stone is the only means for the victims of the immortal law to continue their lives, so it is not difficult to imagine.

The big man looked proud, and glanced at the children in the audience with disdain.

"You've wasted too much material this month, and the attrition tax has increased! Everyone's weapons have to be deducted forty percent!"

The next moment, there was an uproar in the audience.

The so-called attrition tax, Gu Cheng has also heard from some attendants, that is, when the copper and iron are melted and forged, the copper and iron will inevitably produce losses, and this loss will be used as a part of the tax to levy a part of the weapon.

Many of the staff members have very small incomes, so most of them take advantage of the loopholes in the rules to embezzle and deduct weapons in the name of attrition tax. In fact, whether the amount of loss is large or small is completely up to them, and this is just an excuse to detain weapons. They are so public, it is impossible for the elders of Yueren Mountain not to know, in the final analysis, it is because the staff is the one who helps the elders deal with general affairs, so as long as the staff does not go too far, the elders will not come forward.

But this time it was too much!

Once more than 30% of the weapons are deducted, they will have to face the consequences of not meeting the standard, not to mention the 40% deduction?

Gu Cheng really didn't expect that there was such a thing as a deduction, thinking that it was no wonder that every disciple was staying up late to work, it turned out that they all knew that they had to exceed the task, but now that they think about it, if they are deducted, they may even fail to meet the standard.

As for the question of whether he met the standard, Gu Cheng didn't care, after all, the spirit stone didn't have much effect on him.

But these C-class students are different, the spirit stone is their means of continuing their lives, they have to stay up all night to work, in the final analysis, just to live, but in the end, they have to be squeezed dry by these staff, so that there are destined to be some people who do not meet the standard, and even will be removed, without the source of the spirit stone, there is only a dead end.

Those who can't decide their own fate can only be slaughtered by others!

"Deduct forty percent! How can this live?"

"The elder came out and gave an explanation!"

"My lord, I beg you to reduce your taxes a little. ”

.........

......

...

"Now let's start seizing weapons immediately!" Dahan shouted completely ignoring the commotion in the audience.

Immediately afterwards, the attendants next to Dahan shouted: "Now start handing in your weapons!"

The children in the audience were very dissatisfied, but who dared to make a heckle with it? As long as this is still Yueren Mountain, and this mountain still bears this name, they will not dare to rebel.

The so-called "reading people" is to be able to see a person's qualifications, temperament, and potential, and in Liancheng, only this mountain is qualified to use this name.

This mountain belongs directly to the imperial court, and the disciples in it are all selected from the people, and the disciples who perform well in the mountain will stand out from it and become Jinwuwei. Over the years, it is these Jinwuwei who have gone forward to purge the immortal cultivators, and this Liancheng has been sheltered, which shows that the status of Yueren Mountain is unshakable in Liancheng, and no one dares to move.

They don't dare to have distracting thoughts, all they have in their hearts is worry.

Waiting is like suffering.

Soon, a group of children were finally removed.

"I'm not leaving!"

"Why are there so many deductions this time!"

"As long as you don't drive me away this time, I will definitely make more weapons next time! Please, don't drive me away!"

.......

.....

..

Driven out by the attendants, the men were herded into an isolated clearing, even though their cries and bitterness were ineffective.

With the first batch, soon there were second and third batches to be evicted.

In the past, only a few lazy people were expelled at a time, but this time hundreds of people were expelled.

Gu Cheng vaguely sensed something, and there was an uneasy thought in his heart.

"It seems..... Increasing the attrition tax is just a trick. Gu Cheng's eyes flashed with a hint of meaning, and he said in a low voice.

"Tricks?" Wu Ting said with an expressionless face.

"If I didn't know the truth about the bone fragments, I wouldn't have thought so deeply. Gu Cheng's eyes were sharp.

Immediately, Gu Cheng's words changed: "Have you found that these expelled people have something in common?"

"There are two things in common. Wu Ting took a closer look and said, "One is that they are relatively old, and the other is that their bodies seem to be much weaker than ordinary disciples. ”

"Then did you notice anything?" Gu Cheng pointed to the attendants who were liquidating.

Wu Ting subconsciously looked at the attendants who were liquidating, and the next moment, she immediately noticed that the entire liquidation process of these attendants was so-so.

"The attendants didn't calculate the amount of weapons carefully at all, they were just perfunctory. Wu Ting replied.

"That's right. ”

Gu Cheng said: "These disciples don't know whether they can meet the standard, as for the standard of reaching the standard, this is basically up to the attendants, but in fact, these attendants are not seriously liquidating at all, but those disciples can only blindly follow the statements of these attendants." ”

"But... Isn't that big man supervising the attendants?" Wu Ting wondered.

"You're right, think about it, as an ordinary attendant, how dare you be sloppy in front of your staff?" Gu Cheng asked rhetorically to Wu Ting.

"The only explanation is..... This was what the staff had asked the attendant to do. Wu Ting looked at the big man on the stage and suddenly understood.

"Yes, but you need to look a little deeper. ”

Gu Cheng said: "If you look deeper, you can know that this increase in taxes is just a trick to hide the eyes, releasing a smokescreen, the purpose is to make the disciples have an illusion, I don't know if they can meet the standard after being deducted, and then expel these children in the name of not meeting the standard." ”

"Why do you want to expel them?" said Wu Ting.

"Do you remember the corpse qi?" Gu Cheng said solemnly.

"Could it be.... Are the two connected?"

Gu Cheng nodded and said, "Who are the people who usually suffer from infectious diseases?"

"People who are weaker in body. ”

The next moment, Wu Ting suddenly understood, "Some people with weak physiques are prone to plague and will leak out the corpse qi, so they have come up with this strategy to expel these people. ”

"Moreover, the person who came up with this plan is quite careful, as for how careful, you can keep an eye on the disciples who have been expelled. Gu Cheng pointed to the isolated place.

Gu Cheng said: "Normally, people who are expelled will be trapped in prisons, but this time is different from the past, there are too many people who have been expelled this time, they will definitely fight back when they are cornered, and the reputation of Lingwu Pavilion will inevitably be shaken when the time comes, so.... Now, those disciples have only been driven to an open place in the square, and they still have a hint of luck, and they will never rebel rashly!"

"It seems that the people who read the mountain are really not simple. Wu Ting said with a solemn face.

"We may have to deal with a tricky enemy. Gu Cheng's eyes flashed with a gleam.

"Get out your weapons!"

At this moment, a cheer came from the side of the high platform, which interrupted the conversation between Gu Cheng and Wu Ting.

"I'm going to test it. Gu Cheng gave Wu Ting a look, "Later, cooperate with me." ”

"I see. Wu Ting adjusted the coordinates of the radio compass in his sleeve and nodded.
