Chapter 137: Getting Started First
Elder Hu landed in a large building with Bai Slash, and after a few words of explanation, he left in a hurry.
Bai Chu didn't know why these elders were in such a hurry, but some matters in this place had already been explained on the way, and there was no need to ask anything more.
This building is a branch of the Deacon's Pavilion, and there are not only disciples in the hall, but also a large number of loose cultivators, who are lining up to be searched by the disciples in the hall.
Before entering the mine, every casual cultivator must hand over the storage bag he carries with him and hand it over to the Tianyin Sect Pavilion for safekeeping, but there is no need to worry about what someone will do, because each storage bag will be sealed in a stone box one by one, and he will not be able to open the stone box for storage at all.
Then the disciples in the pavilion handed over a storage bag marked Tiger Face Hall to Sanxiu, and after coming out of the mine, hand over the storage bag, no matter what the harvest is, half of it must be handed over, this is the rule here.
Bai Slash's duty is to maintain order in the area, and from time to time he will patrol the mines to avoid large-scale fights among the monks in the mines, which will affect the mining and prevent the mines from collapsing.
The person who received Bai Zhu was a monk in his fifties, surnamed Zhang, named Huan, with a thirteen-story cultivation, and he looked very capable.
"The junior brother has just arrived, and he may not have a special understanding of the situation here, so I will rely on the old and sell the old, and then explain it to the junior brother, and the junior brother will please. Zhang Huan first said a few polite words, and then invited him to sit in the private room upstairs.
"Thank you, brother, please. Bai Chu clenched his fists and followed Zhang Huan to the elegant room on the second floor.
A small table of eight immortals, with some fruits on it, plus two lamps of tea floating with leisurely and elegant tea, as if it had been prepared a long time ago.
After the two of them sat down, Zhang Huan smiled and said bluntly: "The monks who can pass the Trial Valley are all famous figures in the local area, forgive Senior Brother for being clumsy, Senior Brother Guanbai is very born, shouldn't he be a local monk?"
"Yes, the junior brother was originally a monk from Youzhou, and he came here half a year just to join the Tianyin Sect. ”
There is nothing to hide about the issue of identity, if it is fragmented, it will make the other party look down on it.
"Haha... , if this is the case, you can appear in Youzhou with a young talent like a junior brother, and it can also be said to be an outstanding person. ”
"Senior brother praised falsely, it was pure luck that the junior brother was able to pass the trial. Bai Shu said politely.
"Hehe, junior brother is too modest, I have still seen the list of this trial, who can participate in the trial with monks such as Ghost Lantern Star and Mu Bo, and pass the three levels, which one is not an extraordinary person.
But then again, we are no more casual than the outside world, and as deacons here, we have to have a heart. Zhang Huan picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip gently, while the corner of his eye was aimed at Bai Shu, as if observing his expression.
"The junior brother has just arrived, and I hope that the senior brother will give me some guidance. Bai Chu looked solemn and said sincerely.
He is not a fool, the other party is obviously playing his own tone, and he can't see it, if he shows an attitude of being separated at this time, he is afraid that he will be isolated, and he can't say when he will have to be plotted by these people, anyway, he is not a drunkard, and it is not harmful for him to be good friends with the other party.
"Haha, the junior brother is really the dragon and phoenix among the people, in this case, then the senior brother has something to say. Zhang Huan saw that Bai Qi was so acquainted, with a smile on his face, and said that he did not regard himself as an outsider.
"Senior brother, please speak. ”
"Hehe, in fact, it's nothing, I believe that the junior brother joined the Tianyin Sect, and eighty percent of it was also to build a foundation, otherwise who would want to be constrained by all parties.
Since it is to build a foundation, if we wait for the recommendation of the elders, then we don't know the Year of the Monkey, so as the 'masters' here, we naturally want to reap some benefits.
For example, some casual cultivators came to mine, and they shouldn't have been allowed to bring ghost weapons into the mines, but when I waited, it was better to turn a blind eye, after all, among these casual cultivators, some characters are also difficult to provoke.
Of course, they will naturally not lose the benefits of our waiting, and in a month, how can we get this number. ”
After speaking, Zhang Huan separated his two fingers and gestured, of course Bai Shu could understand this gesture, which meant two hundred.
In fact, for Bai Shu, this number was actually not very tempting to him, but he still showed a look of shock, "Senior brother means... , two hundred Stygian Stones. ”
"Hey, yes, it's just a little more, and that's only part of it. Seeing Bai Shu's surprised expression, Zhang Huan smiled proudly, so he continued.
"Sometimes, we have to go down to patrol the mine, in fact, it is a patrol, and there are any loose cultivators who make a big fuss in the mine, if it really makes the mine collapse, they don't want to come out alive.
Let's go to the mine, more often than not, it's to fill in some welfare for ourselves, so there is no need to make a fuss about mining the dark stone in the mine, junior brother, right?"
Bai Chu sneered in his heart, "These people are really old foxes. ’
Originally, he didn't come to cause trouble, even if Zhang Huan didn't say it, he would treat it as if he didn't see it, but he couldn't show it immediately, so as not to make others suspect that his motives were impure.
After a little hesitation, Bai Chu said embarrassedly: "But there are clear rules in the door, so it's a bit too risky to do this, right? ”
Zhang Huanyi waved his hand and interrupted Bai Shu and said: "Eh, junior brother, you have just arrived, there are some things you don't know very well, the door rules are the door rules, we here, as long as Elder Qian is comfortable, his old man will not pursue anything."
Senior brother, I have been here for a longer time, and I have been to a lot of other mines, and I have done this elsewhere, the so-called mountain is high and the emperor is far away, as long as we don't dismantle the stage internally, there is no such thing as door rules, junior brother, although you put your heart in your stomach, when you stay for a year and a half, you will naturally understand. ”
Bai Chu showed a sudden look, with a slight expectation in his eyes.
After that, Zhang Huan introduced the 'customs' of this place, and handed over a storage bag to Bai Shu, which contained two hundred dark stones.
Bai Chu first deliberately pushed the other party, and then put away the dark stone with a little embarrassment.
Zhang Huan saw that Bai had collected the Immortal Stone, and a knowing smile appeared on his face, which showed that the other party had already boarded the 'thief ship', and the relationship between the two instantly became a lot closer.
After both parties were satisfied, Zhang Huan took Bai Chu to a temporary residence and signaled him to rest for three or five days to familiarize himself with the situation here, and then arrange affairs for him.
Bai Chu thanked him gratefully, sent Zhang Huan out, turned around and returned to the cave, and immediately opened the ban on the temporary residence, and then snorted coldly.
"Hmph, sure enough, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps. ”
