In this way, Lin Quan groped in the mine for three days.

It wasn't until I was really dizzy by the cluttered underground labyrinth that I reluctantly walked to the nearest passage to the ground.

He knew that this kind of thing was in a hurry, so instead of wandering around around vigorously below, it was better to go back to the surface to rest for a while, calm down smoothly, and sort out the map of the mine road that he had explored in the past three days.

Only by determining the scope of that place can he search with peace of mind, otherwise it is unlikely that even if it takes a year or two to find the deliberately hidden secret room in such a large mine.

"Tick, tick......"

This section of the mine is quite damp, and a large drop of bean water keeps dripping from the top, and it makes a crisp sound when it falls to the ground.

It didn't take long for his expression to suddenly move, and his powerful spiritual sense returned to a fork in the road in front of him.

"A rookie with a fifth-layer condensation touched the skeletons of the middle stage of the three ghost slaves? Hmph, knowing that there are many ghosts in the mine, he actually dares to go deep into this mining alone, he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead!"

Lin Quan snorted disdainfully, and continued to walk towards the ground regardless of it.

He understands that ordinary casual cultivation is not easy, but he has always thought that everything needs to be done according to his ability, and he has no interest in saving a guy like this who has no self-knowledge, and is ready to let him fend for himself.

But after only a few steps, he stopped again.

After muttering on the spot for a moment, Lin Quan suddenly turned into a black shadow and silently entered the forked path.

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

He Xiaowu has always boasted that he knows everything about the Black Mountain Mine, and in order to earn more spirit stones, he often goes into the depths of mining alone.

With his many years of experience in mining and his fairly smart mind, he has always mined a lot more spiritual ore than others on weekdays. Even if there have been ghosts in the mine for the past few months, it has not scared him.

It's just that he didn't expect that his luck would be so bad today, and he was unknowingly blocked in a dead end by three skeletons. After a hard battle, his spiritual power was exhausted, so he had to close his eyes with a bitter smile and wait for death.

At this moment, two dark golden rays of light suddenly flashed and disappeared.

With a crisp "click" sound, the three skeletons that were originally like urging Yama to die instantly became shattered, and countless bone sticks were scattered all over the ground.

He Xiaowu looked at Lin Quan who suddenly appeared in shock, and gasped for breath several times before coming back to his senses.

With the soft glow of the moonstone, he immediately bowed respectfully and deeply after a brief glance at the person's appearance:

"Xiao Wu visited Senior Lin and thanked him for his life-saving grace. ”

"Hey, how did you recognize Lin? Well, let's get up and talk first. ”

He Xiaowu only felt a strong surge in front of him, and his body was held up, and at the same time, there was a light sigh in his ears.

"Qi Yulin's seniors, juniors have been mining in the Black Mountain Mine for many years, and they have always been well-informed on weekdays, so as early as two days ago, we all knew that the Xu family had invited three seniors. ”

"I see. ”

Lin Quan nodded slightly, secretly saying in his heart that luck was not enough.

The reason why he suddenly changed his mind and saved this man was because he wanted to find some experienced miners. After a few days of exploration, it suddenly occurred to him that every miner who has been mining here for a long time must have his own specially drawn map.

That kind of thing will definitely be updated than the map provided by the Xu family, and the map of the mine road they often go to will be more detailed. If you can collect more of these miner-made maps, you might be able to find the secret room faster and more accurately.

"Boy, since you have been mining here for many years, you should understand that there are many ghosts in the mine during this time, why did you come here so recklessly? If those two ghost pawns appeared this time, even Lin would not have time to save you. ”

"If you go back to the seniors, if it is one or two ghost slaves, the younger generations are confident that they still have the ability to escape. As for the two ghost pawns, according to the observation of the younger generations during this time, they generally have a few fixed activity locations, as long as you don't go to those places, you won't encounter them. ”

"Oh, those two ghost pawns still have a fixed range of movement, you don't lie to each other, do you?"

Lin Quan was stunned for a moment, he had never heard the two elders of the Xu family mention this matter beforehand.

But if what He Xiaowu said is true, then this matter is a little strange. He didn't believe that even a condensation miner like He Xiaowu could be sure, and the two of them who had been circulating in the mine for a few months would not know.

The seniors laughed, how could the juniors talk nonsense about this kind of thing that concerns their own lives. After all, the younger generation has been mining in the deeper part of the mine every day in the past few months, and they have never encountered a ghost pawn so far. ”

He Xiaowu's face turned pale with fright, and he explained again and again.

It turned out that he and several other old miners were the oldest in the Black Mountain mines, and since it was reported that there were ghosts wreaking havoc in the mines, they would explore the victims' areas in detail every time. After this mutual calculation and communication, they gradually discovered a pattern, it turned out that those ghost pawns had a fixed range of activities, and all the miners who were killed were unfortunately killed when they strayed into that area.

With this discovery, they had the courage to go back into the mines, and as a result, no one had encountered a ghost in the past few months, so he was naturally more sure of it. It's just for the benefit of a few of them, they secretly hide this secret, and each time they go down to the area of their choice alone to mine.

"By the way, since Senior Lin is here to help us clean up the ghosts, I think you must be in a hurry to find those ghosts. If the seniors don't dislike it, Xiao Wu is willing to dedicate the map he summarized to the seniors. ”

He Xiaowu is worthy of being a smart-minded person, and after some answers, he suddenly rolled his eyes, and casually took out a jade slip from his arms and respectfully handed it over.

"Very good, you are indeed a person with a heart. Thank you Lin. ”

Lin Quan glanced at He Xiaowu with a smile, and took the jade slip very calmly. Then he directly threw out more than ten spirit stones and moved his lips slightly, and then floated away after a few words of softness.

He Xiaowu held the spirit stone in both hands and froze in place, and his mind still echoed with Lin Quan's transmission just now.

After a long time, he hid the spirit stone close to his body with a happy face, and then he couldn't care about mining anymore, and quickly returned the same way.

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

Near the mine, there are rows of improvised houses built with earth spells, which are built by miners who are going to mine for a long time to work continuously.

Because most of the miners who need to earn spirit stones from mining are poor people who can't afford to buy flying magic weapons, in order to save time, many people who are far away from the mine will directly deal with these simple houses when they are tired.

On the other side, not far from here, there is a neat row of ashrams, where the deacons and disciples of the Xu family rest, and there are several small attics of two or three floors in the most conspicuous position in the middle.

Lin Quan walked towards one of the attics, and when he passed by several disciples of the Xu family, he casually asked a few words and entered the attic without looking back.

From the deacon's disciple just now, he learned that Lei and Yu had come back once a day or two ago. However, they both only had less than half a day's rest before going to the mine again, and they looked quite positive.

Hehe, it seems that those two stupid girls really took that guess seriously?

Lin Quan shook his head strangely, almost not laughing.

Let's not talk about whether there are really ghosts in this mine. Even if there were, how could that kind of ghost thing with an extremely ungodly intelligence be so easy to capture?

Come to think of it, if it didn't think that your cultivation was low and weak and could be bullied and took the initiative to find you, it would be impossible for even Monk Ning Dan to go out in person in a mine of this scale.

Not to mention that the guess itself could be wrong. Especially the conversation with He Xiaowu not long ago made Lin Quan have a bad idea. Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, and immediately took out He Xiaowu's jade slip and examined it carefully.

After an hour, his face had become extremely gloomy.

After repeated comparisons, he was shocked to find that the range of the two ghost pawns often covered the area he was looking for.

This will never be a coincidence!

Someone must have also learned about the secret room left by Xuan Wei's lineage!

Lin Quan quickly came to this conclusion that made him angry. Du Hongbo's voice and smile appeared in his heart for no reason.

No, I'm going to have to find that secret room as soon as possible!

Uncle Du, you must not have any trouble!

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

After a long day or so, He Xiaowu came to the retreat where the Xu family disciples lived with a worried face, and approached one of the small attics with a probing face, but was naturally stopped by the Black Eagle guard on the side.

After some explanation, Black Eagle Wei sent a transmission note into the attic in disbelief, and only after a moment did he wave his hand and let He Xiaowu walk towards the attic.

"Senior Lin, according to your wishes, the junior specially collected all the maps in the hands of all the old miners. Xiao Wu can guarantee that every route drawn here is the latest and most reliable. ”

He Xiaowu respectfully presented more than 20 jade slips.

Lin Quan was quite surprised by such an efficient handling ability, and he took two jade slips at random and nodded with satisfaction after a glance.

"You've done a good job! Now you can talk about what benefits you want to get from me? Whether it's a spirit stone, a magic weapon, a martial arts book, or an elixir to improve your spiritual power cultivation, Lin will never break his word. ”

Lin Quan's words made He Xiaowu happy, but soon he shook his hand again and again in trepidation:

"No, no, no, Senior Lin, you want the map to help us clear out the ghosts, it's too late for everyone to thank you, how can Xiao Wu receive payment? Not to mention that if you hadn't rescued me, I would have died in the mine a long time ago." ”

"Saving you and doing things for you are completely different things, of course I, as a senior, will not take your things for nothing, these rewards are all you deserve. ”

Lin Quan has also come step by step from a low-level monk to the present, so he naturally understands He Xiaowu's concerns.

But he didn't have time to talk too much now, so he smiled faintly and took out several sparkling items. These include exercises, elixirs, and spirit stones.

"You can pick any one now, remember, you only have one chance!"

"Thank you Lin, senior, junior...... The younger generation should choose this bottle of elixir to improve spiritual power. ”

He Xiaowu hesitated again and again, and finally chose a bottle of Qi Cultivation Pill that was suitable for the one he was using now. Then he bowed respectfully again and withdrew silently.
