Chapter 35 Duty
When Sun Hao and Fang Zhan were chatting happily, a crisp female voice came from outside the house: "Senior Brother Fang Zhan, we are back." ”
Fang Zhan smiled when he heard this, and said to Sun Hao: "A few of them are back, let's go, I'll take you to introduce you." ”
The two of them went out of the house, and Sun Hao saw four people standing in front of him, two men and two women. When they saw Sun Hao, they were all a little surprised, looked at Fang Zhan, and asked him to explain.
Fang Zhan smiled and said to Sun Hao: "This is all the members of our team, let me introduce you, the junior disciple on the far left is named Gongsun He, and he has seven layers of condensation." He was the first to come here with me, and the two of us have been here for almost a year. ”
Gongsun He nodded towards Sun Hao and didn't say anything.
Fang Zhan pointed to a man with an awl face in the middle and continued: "Senior Brother Liu came here half a year ago, the sixth layer of condensing qi, called Liu Zhan, is a quick temper, if there is anything offended in the future, I will make amends for you here first." ”
This Liu Zhan is indeed not an easy person, it is estimated that when he saw Sun Hao's cultivation as low, his nose made a snort, and he regarded it as a greeting, which caused Fang Zhan to be embarrassed.
Next were the two female disciples, one of them, a female disciple wearing a green palace dress and a baby face, jumped out without waiting for Fang Zhan's introduction, and said to Sun Hao in a crisp voice: "I don't need to be introduced by Senior Brother Fang Zhan." The little woman's surname is Qin, her name is Ning Yu, and she has six layers of condensation. This junior brother is new here, so follow me from now on, and I will definitely take care of you. ”
She has a natural expression, coupled with a lovely face, and her speech is very easy to trust, Sun Hao couldn't help but smile when he heard it, and gave a salute with his fists.
In the end, there was only the last female disciple left who was dressed in white, with a delicate figure and a veil on her face.
When a few people were talking, she kept standing aside coldly, as if she didn't want to talk to anyone. Fang Zhan looked at her, and seemed to be a little presumptuous, and whispered: "This is Song Ling'er, Senior Sister Song, the ninth layer of condensation, and her temperament is a little indifferent, don't take it to heart." ”
When Sun Hao heard that her cultivation turned out to be the ninth layer of condensing qi, he couldn't help but take a few more looks. Song Ling'er didn't pay attention to Sun Hao, and kept standing in place coldly, silent. Sun Hao had no choice but to touch his nose in embarrassment and saluted Song Ling'er.
After several people were introduced, Sun Hao also introduced himself and said: "In the next Sun Hao, he was sent here by the head of the family by chance, he was new to the school, and his cultivation was inferior, I hope that you brothers and sisters can take care of it more in the future, Sun Hao is here to thank you." After speaking, he clasped his fists and bowed.
When several people saw Sun Hao like this, whether it was Gongsun He or Liu Zhan, they all returned the salute, but only Song Ling'er was still standing in place and ignored it. Sun Hao couldn't help frowning, and said in his heart that this woman's temperament was really weird, and he secretly noticed it in his heart.
After everyone said hello, they all went back to their rooms to meditate and practice, leaving only Sun Hao and Fang Zhan. However, the cultivator was like this, seizing all the time to cultivate, not being moved by external objects, Sun Hao had long been used to it, he didn't speak, and waited for Fang Zhan to arrange a place for him.
There were a total of six wooden houses in the station of Team No. 6, and one for each person was originally empty, so Sun Hao was arranged by Fang Zhan to the vacant room. It was uninhabited for a long time and was full of dust, but the simple living utensils were complete, Sun Hao simply cleaned up and stayed.
Soon, it was getting late, and a round sunset hung on the western horizon, without the glare of the day.
Just when Sun Hao's meditation was just getting better, there were suddenly several knocks on the door of his room. Sun Hao calmed down the churning aura, opened his eyes and asked suspiciously, "Who is it?"
Fang Zhan's voice came from outside the door: "Senior Brother Sun, it's me, come out quickly, I'm on duty with our team tonight." ”
When Sun Hao heard this, he got up and opened the door, and saw that several people had changed into strong clothes and were ready to go, so he hurriedly stepped out, hugged his fists and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Sun doesn't know that he needs to be on duty tonight, and I'm tired of waiting for you." ”
Fang Zhan smiled lightly and said, "It's my fault for this matter, I didn't tell you about the duty." The duty here is rotated, and each squad needs to be on duty for one day or one night at a time, which is exchanged at sunrise and sunset, and one rotation for four days, and the order of black and white is changed once a month. Occasionally, the five elders will also assign some other tasks, but there are very few them, generally only on duty, Senior Brother Sun should keep it in mind in the future. ”
Sun Hao hurriedly said yes, and everyone didn't say anything, only Liu Zhan let out a sneer, which made several people frown a little.
The few people didn't delay any longer, and then set off and went straight to the mining point of the spirit mine.
The mining point of Qizhumen was located in the south of this spiritual mine, not far from the station, and several people quickly arrived there, and Fang Zhan entered the mine.
When he arrived in the mine, Sun Hao found that the mining of this spiritual ore was not at all what he thought.
Originally, he thought that the cultivators would naturally use some immortal method to mine the spirit ore, and at the worst they should also take care of the spirit grass in the door, one person and one magic weapon for mining.
But who knew that when he really arrived at the place, Sun Hao found that all the people who mined the spirit ore were some mortals who had no spiritual energy, and they all held the most ordinary mine hoes in their hands, and under the light of the torches, they smashed the ordinary stones wrapped in the spirit stones little by little, and picked the spirit stones, which was slow and terrifying.
In the entire mine, except for the disciples on duty and a few stewards with low cultivation, there was not a single cultivator.
Fang Zhan probably saw Sun Hao's doubts, turned around and said to Sun Hao with a smile: "Senior Brother Sun saw the spirit stone mining for the first time, isn't it very unexpected, in fact, when we first came, we had similar thoughts to you. ”
"Everyone thought that cultivators could hardly do anything when they went to heaven and earth, but this small spirit stone mine made a group of cultivators helpless, and they could only use mortals to mine. ”
"It's all because there is a strange gas in the spirit stone mine, which cultivators call it Ryu Qi. They are born along with spirit stones, which will affect the spiritual consciousness of cultivators. If a cultivator is exposed to this kind of gas for a long time, his spiritual consciousness will be damaged at least and his cultivation will be greatly reduced, and at worst, his spiritual consciousness will be completely destroyed and he will become a living dead. ”
"There was once an unbelieving Yuan Infant senior who wanted to crack this gas, ran to a spiritual mine for half a month, and when he came out, his IQ became like a baby, which was outrageous. ”
"Therefore, the current mining of spirit stones in the cultivation realm is mined by a group of mortals who were captured from the mortal world, and they are rewarded every day according to the amount of their mining. When the spirit ore is mined, they will naturally be sent back, and the gold and silver given to them will be enough for them to spend the rest of their lives comfortably. ”
Only then did Sun Hao understand, but this qi was so terrifying, wouldn't it be very dangerous for him and others to be on duty in the spirit mine.
Fang Zhan naturally understood his concerns, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Sun, don't worry, although the Ryu Qi is poisonous, it will not cause much harm to people in a short period of time, on the contrary, if you are in the Ryu Qi for a short time, you can also exercise your spiritual sense." The team only rotates once every four days, so it won't have any effect, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to go down to the spirit mine. ”
Sun Hao understood, nodded, hugged his fists and thanked him, Fang Zhan waved his hand, and didn't say anything.
Soon, Fang Zhan encountered the team on duty during the day, but there were only three people. The two teams didn't seem to know each other very well, and no one said anything after Fang Zhan went up to say hello and change defenses.
After the team left, Fang Zhan spoke: "It's still the old rule, three people patrol outside the mine, and two people stay in the mine to prevent anyone from passing through the mine." Oh, yes, now that Senior Brother Sun is here, then the three of them will stay in the mine. Only then did Sun Hao understand that people needed to be guarded on the ground and underground, so it was no wonder that there were only three people in the team.
Fang Zhan continued: "Today it should be my turn, Senior Brother Gongsun, and Senior Brother Liu to patrol, so Senior Sister Song, Senior Sister Qin, and Senior Brother Sun, I will bother you more underground." ”
Several people nodded yes, Fang Zhan took the two of them to the ground, and Sun Hao and the three of them stayed.
Sun Hao was with two female disciples, and he didn't know what to say. Fortunately, Qin Ningyu is a self-acquainted character, and she eased the atmosphere in a few words, but Song Ling'er still had a veil on her face, and coldly told the two that she had gone to the front to investigate, and she should not be called if there was nothing to do.
Qin Ningyu stuck out her tongue and saw that Song Ling'er had walked away, so she smiled and said to Sun Hao: "Senior Sister Song is this kind of character, it's the same for everyone, don't take it too seriously." ”
Sun Hao smiled indifferently and said, "It's okay." ”
Qin Ningyu chatted with Sun Hao for a while, and then picked a mine road to inspect, Sun Hao saw that only two mine roads were picked up by the two of them, so he stayed in place to stay guarded.
After sitting for a while, he noticed a teenager not far away who was tapping ore. The young man's body was thin and weak, but his skills were extremely flexible, climbing up and down, and in a short time he knocked off a large piece of ore and mined a large piece of spirit stone.
Sun Hao suddenly became interested, walked up to the young man, and asked, "This little brother, where did you come from, did they force you when they arrested you?" ”
But who expected that as soon as the young man heard Sun Hao's voice, he was so frightened that he rolled down from the pile of stones, knelt down and said: "Shangxian spares his life, the little one must work hard, don't send me back, I still have to earn enough money to go home to support the old man, don't drive me away." ”
Sun Hao was stunned for a moment, shook his head with some interest, didn't say anything, and motioned for the young man to continue working.
He looked at the young man who almost bowed his head and retreated, and remembered his original scene with some distraction, and he didn't know how his wife was doing now, and whether he remembered his unfilial son.
He is also a "fairy" now, the young self back then has disappeared, he can't help but recall that back then, he was a little stupid.
Soon, the night passed, and a ray of sunlight from the skylight on the roof of the cave shone on his face, and it was only then that he came back to his senses and wiped the tears of longing from the corners of his eyes.
Fang Zhan and a few people had already changed their guards and came back, they looked at Sun Hao's reddened eyes, a little strange, but they didn't ask anything, and walked out of the mine together.
Out of the mine, the red sun on the horizon in the distance has risen very high, Sun Hao looked at the red sun in the distance, his heart was also a lot wider, he breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at the red sun, and secretly said to himself in his heart: Why bother so much, the world is boundless, the heart is infinite, just keep your heart. Since you have chosen this path, let's go on bravely.
The morning sun is red, rising higher and higher, and it seems to be looking at all kinds of things in the world, I wonder if it will know this young man's determination?
