The fifteenth round of recruitment
Walking back along the original road, the two groups of people guarded each other intentionally or unintentionally, keeping a certain distance, Xie Ling and the old man in gorgeous clothes walked together.
"You are disciples of the Cangyue Sect, how did you get here?"
"We came to deliver the batch of goods ordered by Qinglingmen, and I heard that there are good things here, so let's take a look. But I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing!" Xie Ling was thinking in his heart that the 'fried pool' in the mouth of the six crutches this time might have something to do with these people around him.
"So that's 61616161"
"You are a disciple of the Cangyue Sect, why are you interested in the underworld weapon?" The young monk named Rong Fang was a little unconvinced.
"What's so strange about this, I originally came from the refining academy in the sect, as long as it is a magic weapon and a material, I am interested!" Xie Ling didn't have a good impression of him, and he wouldn't be polite when he spoke.
"The Refining Courtyard of the Cangyue Sect was very famous five hundred years ago, and it is not comparable to your current Yang Fu Sect!" said the old man in Huafu in a deep voice.
"Oh, is it that powerful, but how did I hear that they don't even have a refiner now!" Rong Fang sneered.
The old man in the costume smiled and did not speak.
The handsome young man on the side frowned, his junior brother is too arrogant, and it is very easy to offend people, he is a little better in the master's sect, and he will suffer a big loss sooner or later if he goes out. But he knew his temperament, and if he said it directly, he would be self-defeating, so he coughed a few times and said: "Xie Daoyou, how far is it to go down here, we are about to go thirty zhang away!"
"There is another twenty zhang or so to get to where we were before!" Xie Ling was such a smart person, knowing that he was diverting the topic, he smiled and then said: "There are still two passages there, and the other side is also sealed and cannot be passed." ”
As they spoke, the group finally reached the first narrow passage.
The old man in the fancy costume looked at it, just like Xie Ling said, there were two passages on the side. After a while, he said, "Xie Daoyou thinks that one leads to the underground?"
That Rong Fang was about to speak again, and the handsome young man saw it and pulled him with his hand, the old man in Huafu is not a good person, and it is not a wise move to interrupt him when he speaks three times or twice!
"Both of them are downward passages, and I don't know which one will communicate with the air duct of the mine!" Xie Ling said.
"Have you noticed, the smell of corruption here is very strong, six crutches, you are familiar with this place, have you smelled it before?" Jingyi said with a nose.
At first, everyone was busy running for their lives, and they didn't feel that since they went up and back from the passage, they suddenly felt that there was a big difference between the top and the bottom.
The faces of the old men in Chinese clothes changed slightly, and they looked at the six crutches who were very nervous.
"I haven't been working on 'ideas' for a long time, but I haven't smelled this smell before, maybe it was caused by a landslide, there are many rats, snakes and insects below, rotting inside, and the passage leaked out after it was shaken open!"
"The smell comes from the middle aisle. Xie Ling stepped forward and sensed it for a moment before saying.
"He has a point, maybe the landslide has opened up another passage and the one in between, let's go out of the middle!
Jiang Qiao was arrogant, and he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, Xuanshi Kai patted him when he saw it, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Xie, then let's go first?"
"Well, Senior Sister, let's do it together!" Xie Ling looked at Jingyi, his face full of concern.
"Okay!" Jingyi saw him say this in front of everyone, his face was a little hot, but his heart was sweet.
The strongest three young men walked in front, with Xie Ling and Jingyi in the middle, and Xue Bing and Shen Conghu in the back.
The passage was just as Xie Ling expected, it was parallel at first, but after moving forward for a distance, a cave caused by a collapse appeared in front of it, Xuan Shi Kai and the others stopped, turned around and said: "There is a cave that has been shaken open, and the smell of corruption comes from inside, shall we follow the original passage or enter through this shaken hole?"
"Go to the cave that shook open!" the voice of the old man in Chinese clothes came, and there was no room for negotiation in his words, and he could not refuse.
"Do what this senior says!" Xie Ling said after sighing.
Xuanshi Kai continued to move forward, for him, the opportunities on both sides were the same, the old man in Huafu was very strong, and he was not willing to turn his face with him here.
After entering the cave that had been shaken open, the group began to descend, and the slope was very large, like a slope plunging straight down the mountain peak.
As everyone descended, the air inside became thinner and dirtier, and the unpleasant smell came from below, and everyone took out something to cover their mouths and noses, which was more comfortable.
But the old man in Chinese clothes and the handsome young man in the back smelled the smell from below, but their faces showed a hint of excitement.
Xie Ling felt that the cold qi below was extremely heavy, so he simply stopped breathing through his mouth and nose, opened the two earth brakes on his shoulders, and breathed in the method of fetal breathing.
The passage is getting narrower and narrower, and only one person can be accommodated at the back, Xie Ling touched the cliff next to him, and found that the passage began to flatten, and after walking forward for nearly half an hour, suddenly a white glimmer of light appeared in front of him, and everyone began to get excited, and there was a bright light indicating that there was an exit, which made them excited!
However, the further they went, the more Jingyi and the others felt that the smell became more unpleasant, it was a corrupt smell, and their excitement became a little apprehensive.
As he continued to move forward, the light in front of him gradually widened, and when Xie Ling drilled out of the narrow passage, he found that he and the others were on a rock jutting out of the middle of the cliff wall of a huge cave. The white light came from below, but it was too deep to see what it was.
It didn't take long for the old man in the fancy costume to come out of the narrow passage, and he had a strange expression on his face when he saw what was going on.
Then the other six people also came out of the passage one after another, and the handsome young man looked down, his eyes flashed with blue light, and after a while, he said with a hint of joy on his face: "Senior, sure enough, they are all here!"
"Are you sure it's those things?" the old man in the Chinese costume looked very solemn.
"You can't be wrong, the things of the underworld can't escape my two yin eyes.
"Well, if we expected it, those guys should be hiding nearby, so be careful. The old man in Chinese clothes turned around and rushed to the next few people.
Xie Ling looked at him suspiciously, the old man in Chinese clothes smiled slightly, took out a silver token from his arms, Jingyi and the others also looked at it in surprise, only to see the word 'Alliance' engraved on the token!
"The seniors are from the Xiuzhen Alliance?"
Xie Ling was not surprised.
"Yes, we are from the North Branch of the Xiuzhen Alliance!" said the old man in Huafu.
"North Branch 616161616161"
The Xiuzhen Alliance has four branches in the Xuanwu Realm according to the region, the people of the northern branch are mainly responsible for the inspection affairs of the northern region of the Xuanwu Realm, and Qingzhou belongs to the western region in charge, how can there be people from the northern branch of the Xiuzhen Alliance here!
"Cangyue Sect and Qinglingmen are both members of the Xiuzhen Alliance, and now, as the chief inspector of the Northern Branch of the Xiuzhen Alliance, I will recruit the eight of you to jointly complete this task, do you have any objections?" said the old man in Huafu.
The Xiuzhen Alliance can recruit the disciples of the local alliance members to carry out urgent tasks, which is determined by the alliance member sects through mutual consultation.
"Can the junior confirm the senior's token?" Jingyi said.
"Of course you can!" the old man in Chinese clothes smiled and handed over the token in his hand.
Jing Yi bowed down to take it, took it in his hand and carefully identified it, nodded, returned it back to the old man in the Chinese costume, and bowed down again and said, "It turned out to be Li Xiuqian's predecessor from Haotianmen, and the junior Jing Yi lost his respect!"
There are several tokens of the Xiuzhen Alliance, the silver medal in the hands of the old man in Huafu is the 'Silver Immortal Order' with the authority to requisition, the token is refined by a special method, and the identity of the holder of the order and the law of the elders of the Seven Great Sects Alliance will be displayed after the spiritual power is entered.
The rest of the people bowed when they heard this, Li Xiuqian, as the chief of the northern inspection guard of the Xiuzhen Alliance, although his own cultivation was only in the late stage of foundation building, his status in the Xuanwu Realm was actually no less than that of the master of a sect of ordinary small sects.
"No need to be polite, the reason why I didn't tell you before is because I didn't know that I would find out about the situation here, and now that the situation has changed, I have to trouble a few people!" Li Xiuqian arched his hand.
"Don't dare, juniors and others must obey the orders of their seniors!"
Although Xie Ling and the others were unwilling in their hearts, they had no way, remembering the situation when they met him above, what was the collapse of the passage in front of them, and they had already intentionally used their own people to drive them, it was really unlucky, and they were stuffed with their teeth when they drank saliva!
