"Oh, the patriarch and the two elders don't need to exalt us, in front of you, what can we praise for our little skills that have advanced after learning. Besides, we came here on the orders of the master this time mainly to have more experience, and I hope that the two elders can take more care of them at that time. ”

"By the way, since the two elders have returned, why don't you tell us about the latest situation in the mine?"

Yu Lingfeng was a little surprised, she didn't expect this Xu Patriarch to be so familiar with their situation, and immediately opened the topic with a roll of her eyes, and at the same time complimented them a few words openly and secretly.

"What the Jade Fairy said is reasonable. ”

When it came to the main matter of the mine, the patriarch Xu Mingyuan couldn't be tempted anymore, he nodded again and again while turning to look at the two, "Mingyue, it's up to you to tell me, what happened to those ghosts in the past half a month?"

In fact, he, as the patriarch, also didn't know how well he had progressed in the past half a month to eliminate ghosts.

Because Xu Mingyue and Qiao Ye would come out at least once every five or six days every time they entered the mine, and sometimes they didn't hear back for eight or nine days in order to hunt down a ghost. This time, it took half a month to return.

"Big brother, three fellow Daoists. The situation inside the mine is still not very rosy. ”

Xu Mingyue arched his hand, and said with a solemn expression: "But Brother Qiao and I have not gained nothing in the past half a month, and there is good news and strange news at present." ”

Good news vs. 'weird' news?

Everyone was stunned, they had only heard the 'good news and bad news' before, but they never knew what the 'strange news' was.

None of them, however, asked any questions, and continued to listen quietly.

"The good news is that after the efforts of Brother Qiao and me, I finally succeeded in killing an early Yin Soul a day ago, which not only eliminated a ** annoyance, but also avenged the fourth sister. ”

"Eh, that's the best news I've heard these days. ”

Xu Mingyuan laughed first, and the rest of the stewards also applauded.

In the past few months, more than fifty miners and elite disciples have been killed by that ghost pawn ghost, and now they finally have a chance to raise their eyebrows.

Lin Quan also praised a few words without hesitation, but in his heart, he couldn't help but feel that this matter was too coincidental.

"As for the strange news. ”

Xu Mingyue modestly hugged his fists, glanced at everyone without a trace, and then said:

"Just a few days ago, Brother Qiao and I suddenly felt that the yin qi in the mine was getting stronger, and then many newly formed ghost slave early and middle stage ghosts and skeletons were found in each section of the tunnel. ”

"Is it just that the yin qi is heavier and there are more ghost slaves?"

Xu Mingyuan frowned, and said very carelessly: "After all, our Xu family's mine cave is an old mine inherited from thousands of years ago, and it is normal for the yin qi to be heavier, and it is a matter of course to produce some ghost slaves for this. I don't think even the miners will be afraid of those garbage ghosts. ”

"That's what the eldest brother said, and that's why the younger brother said it was strange news and not bad news. ”

"Haha, Ming Yue, Ming Yue, I didn't expect you to play word games with me. ”

Xu Mingyuan scolded with a smile, and turned to look at Lin Quan, "Three fellow Daoists, do you have anything else you need to ask, the two elders happen to be present right now." ”

"May I ask Elder Xu, I don't know how many ghost pawns there are in this mine, and what about their types and cultivation?" Lei Ruolan was not polite, and wanted to confirm the strength of the ghost creature one last time.

"Thunder Fairy invited, most of the current mine cave is some newborn ghost slaves. As for the ghost pawns, oh no, there should only be one black zombie and one skeleton left in addition to the Yin Soul that was killed. ”

Black zombies and skeletons? It turned out to be this kind of rough-skinned and thick-skinned ghost thing that can burrow into the ground, no wonder.

Lei Ruolan knew in his heart, and nodded without words. These creatures were far easier for her to deal with than swift ghosts, and the only thing she had trouble with was how to capture them alive.

Yu Lingfeng also thought the same way, but for Shengjiao, her wind spell was obviously more advantageous than the thunder method.

Lin Quan originally wanted to ask about the location of the two ghosts, but after thinking about Du Hongbo's matter, he gave up. So he smiled and shook his head, indicating that there was no more doubt.

"In that case, let's go to the mine now. Xu Mingyuan looked at the sky and gave the order to set off without hesitation.

............

The real mine of Xujia is called "Black Mountain Mine", located in the Black Mountain hills of more than 40 miles north of Xujiazhuang, although it has long been a waste mine thousands of years ago, but it does not mean that a spirit stone can not be dug up, but it takes more work. For the Xu family, this mine is still the most important resource production area.

More than forty miles of land didn't take much time for the immortal cultivators who flew the imperial weapon, and after a while, everyone came to the sky above the Black Mountain hills.

Standing on the flying boat, Lin Quan saw that this "Black Mountain Mine" was full of dark and strange stones. And every once in every passing distance in the whole hilly area, there will be an irregular hole that leads to the ground, and it is dark and I don't know how deep.

At this time, a large group of people were already focused near the various potholes.

Except for a few pit deacon disciples who wore Xu family clothes and had reached the late stage of condensation, the vast majority of them were miners in the middle stage of condensation. They all held special pickaxes and pouts, and waited anxiously in line.

Early this morning, they heard that the elder of the Xu family had killed a ghost-level Yin Spirit. Without the ghost that wanders around and specializes in killing low-level monks, it is a good time to enter the mine, although there is still danger, but as long as you don't go too deep, it is generally unlikely to encounter the other two ghosts.

"Look, Patriarch Xu is here in person, and the second and third elders of the Xu family are also here!"

Soon, a sharp-eyed miner spotted the crowd flying in the distance and shouted excitedly.

This voice immediately caused everyone to turn around and look into the air. Immediately after that, everyone exploded and talked happily:

"Great, Elder Xu and Elder Qiao have really worked tirelessly, we can rest assured with them!"

"yes...... Huh, there seem to be three strange seniors next to the two elders, are they also here to help?"

............

Soon, everyone flew straight to the largest mine under the leadership of Xu Mingyuan. When the nearby deacons heard the news, they directly persuaded all the surrounding miners to retreat and cleared out a large open space.

Xu Mingyuan first smiled and nodded to the children and miners around him, showing the demeanor and momentum of the head of the family, and then pointed to the mine with one hand:

"Three fellow Daoists, this is one of the largest tunnels, and it is also the oldest mine. From here, you can go down to any corner of the entire Black Mountain Mine. You guys...... Be careful!"

"Thank you Patriarch Xu for your concern!"

Lin Quan and the three of them should be in unison. Then without further ado, he walked towards the mine.

Xu Mingyue and Qiao Ye were not far behind, they each chose a neighboring mine to follow.

The nearby miners all watched with anticipation and reverence. The Black Mountain Mine is their hope, whether it is for themselves or for some relatives and children around them who are waiting for the spirit stone to be used, they all loyally hope that these condensate seniors can clean up the ghosts as soon as possible.

Since the spirit mine can only be mined by immortal cultivators, there are no ladders in the mine at all. After going down the uneven slope for more than 100 zhang, the terrain was slightly gentler, but in general, it was still inclined all the way down to the ground.

In the pitch-black tunnel, Lin Quan and the three of them took out the night pearl and moonstone that they had prepared long ago, and walked forward slowly. After a while, several forks appeared in a row, and Lei Ruolan and Yu Lingfeng each chose one and parted ways.

With the departure of the second daughter, Lin Quan couldn't help but speed up and lean forward.

This is only near the entrance to the mine, and generally there are no ghosts, even those who have just formed are unlikely to come here.

In this way, he ran along the widest main road for more than a thousand feet before slowing down. After casually taking a defensive talisman seal for himself, he took out a jade slip, put it on his forehead, and slowly examined it.

This jade slip was given by the Xu family, and it depicts in detail all the proven tunnels in this mine.

No way, this cave that has existed for thousands of years is so big that even the most experienced miners dare not guarantee that they will not get lost. What's more, in order to be able to mine more spiritual ore, after the Xu family took over the Black Mountain Mine, they re-excavated several new mines in all directions on the original basis.

With so many underground tunnels crisscrossing the ground, few people would dare to enter the depths of the mine without a complete map in hand.

Since he had just entered the mine, he looked at it for a while and found his location. But when he looked at the labyrinthine lines on the map, his head suddenly widened.

How do you find such a big cave?

He sighed in his heart, secretly slandering why the predecessors of the Weixuan lineage wanted to hide that place here, isn't it obvious that he is a pit person.

In desperation, he took out another jade slip, and there was also a map drawn here, but it was many times simpler than the cobweb-like map given by the Xu family.

At this time, he didn't care much, and while carefully comparing the similarities between the two maps, he slowly groped towards the general location.

Now the place he is going to is the secret place that Du Hongbo once confessed to him.

Originally, he wanted to follow Du Hongbo's request and wait for the middle stage of the advanced condensate to come back, but who knew that this mission happened to be Che Yueguo, and he found that this Black Mountain Mine was still the ancient mine controlled by the previous "Qian Cui Village".

Under this providential coincidence, of course, he had to come and explore. As for the cultivation problem that Du Hongbo repeatedly emphasized, he felt that although he had not yet broken through to the middle stage of condensation, he relied on many means to fight with the hole card of the Blue Dragon Battle Armor, even if he faced the late stage monks, he had the strength to fight.
