Chapter 32: The Steward of the Rocks
Chu Tiannan was shocked in his heart, he didn't understand why Chu Yi would react like this when he used the 'Blood Refining Technique' that was not dangerous, and he was very anxious but didn't know how to help. The "Gege" of the two fists rang out, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down on his forehead.
After a while, I saw Chu Yi open his eyes with a pale face, and his breath seemed to have weakened.
Chu Tiannan saw that his son was fine, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and asked with concern: "Yi'er, what happened just now, causing you to be so miserable?"
Chu Yi looked at the purple gold dragon ball that had fallen to the ground, and his eyes were full of horror and disappointment. He sighed lightly and said, "Dad, there is something strange in this dragon ball, and the child doesn't know exactly what the situation is." I only felt that when the body consciousness entered the Dragon Ball with the essence blood, before the inscription rune array could be imprinted, that part of the body consciousness suddenly lost contact with the body. It was as if I had been swallowed by something, and because of this, I was in terrible pain all over my body. ”
Recalling Fang Cai's scene, Chu Yi's face showed a look of horror again.
After Chu Tiannan listened, his brows furrowed, and his face was full of doubt. After a long time, he spoke: "It's strange, using this 'blood refining technique' to refine the magic weapon of the spirit weapon, as long as it is unpresiding, it can often succeed in one fell swoop." This will never be the case. Speaking of this, he glanced at the Purple Gold Dragon Ball again, and said in surprise: "Could it be that there are some evil spirits sealed in this Dragon Ball?"
Chu Yi's face also changed when he heard this, could it be that the part of his body that he had lost contact with was swallowed up by the sealed thing? What kind of world-shattering demon was sealed in this? That is, in the seal, he could still devour the body of others?
The more I thought about it, the more shocked I became, and my face became cloudy when I looked at the Purple Gold Dragon Ball.
At the same time, in a room at the headquarters of the Blood Wolf Gang, a short and fat man in red was saying something to Yan Shaotian.
Yan Shaotian's brows were furrowed at first, and then his face was happy, "Xuemang, is the news you found reliable? That kid is going to the Black Tiger Gate to work in that vein in the Troubled Stone Valley this time?"
"Young Master, this news is true, and my subordinates also accidentally learned about it from a disciple of the Black Tiger Sect who has a close relationship with me. The short and fat man in red said with great certainty.
Yan Shaotian looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, "Ha Luha, God really helps me." Chu Yi, you are in the 'Garrison Department', this young master can't do anything to you, and now that you are killing yourself, you can't blame me. Then he said with a look of anger on his face: "Hmph! That bloody stab boasted in front of me last time, but he messed things up." It's up to you to go this time, I hope you won't disappoint this young master!"
The short and fat man in red felt a pang in his heart, and replied respectfully: "Young master, don't worry, this time that kid can't fly out of my Five Finger Mountain." ”
As he spoke, he shook his five fingers, licked his lips, and smiled evilly, as if Chu Yi had become a thing in the palm of his hand.
"Young Master, judging from the last time the Blood Thorn fought with Chu Yi, that kid is at least a two-star low-level body refining cultivator, and the exercises he cultivates seem to be quite extraordinary. This time he went out to hunt demon beasts and killed a four-star low-level demon tiger, so it seems that that kid's strength is probably stronger than that of a five-star soul disciple, and it may not be appropriate to send only one person to go to the blood!"
A red-haired man sitting next to Yan Shaotian said worriedly.
"Hmph, what do you mean, Blood Spirit? Do you just look down on him like this? Even if he Chu Yi is a genius of the heavens, he is at most a four-star low-level body cultivator, and my Blood Mangtang Burning Six-Star Soul Disciple can't deal with him?"
The short and fat man in red snorted coldly when he heard this, glared at the red-haired man with an angry face, and asked sharply.
The red-haired man's eyes flashed with blood, and the short and fat man who looked at it trembled in his heart, and then said in a low voice: "I don't mean to look down on you, it's just that Chu Yi's kid has repeatedly made amazing moves, which is not simple, and it is just for the sake of everything." ”
The short and fat man in red snorted coldly, and said to Yan Shaotian with a fist: "Young master, don't worry, if your subordinates can't complete the task, they are willing to suffer the punishment of ten thousand ghosts devouring blood!"
Yan Shaotian nodded, and waved his hand to intercept the red-haired man, "Okay, this time is different from the past, that kid is the inner disciple of the Black Tiger Sect after all." If there are too many people involved, I'm afraid it will attract the attention of the Black Tiger Gate, so I'll leave this matter to you alone. This young master heard that the ore vein is very evil, and the head of the ore vein will inevitably disappear every half a year night. In order to be in order, you wait for him for half a year, and if that kid escapes a catastrophe, it's not too late for you to take action. ”
"Obey the young master's decree!" the short and fat man in red bowed in response.
Chu Yi naturally didn't know that Yan Shaotian was calculating him again, and at this moment, he was looking at the Purple Gold Dragon Ball with a frown, and sighed lightly: "Dad, it seems that this thing is not something that children can sacrifice for the time being!
Chu Tiannan nodded solemnly.
The three days passed in a flash, and the fourth morning was still hazy. A two-zhang long silver-white flying boat shot from the backyard of Chu Mansion to the southwest of Yueyang Town, and disappeared into the sky with a few flashes.
After a stick of incense, the Silver Soul Flying Boat came to the sky above the Troubled Stone Valley, trembling slightly, and then shot down towards the valley, and the white light showed Chu Yi's tall figure.
I saw a natural cave about two feet high not far in front of me, and in front of the entrance of the cave stood two men, one tall and one short, dressed in white and carrying a long sword.
As soon as they saw Chu Yi appear, the two of them looked at each other and hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down and asked, "Dare to ask Your Excellency, but Senior Brother Chu Yichu, who came to serve as the head of the ore vein?"
Chu Yi smiled and said, "It's here, I don't know what the two junior disciples are called?"
The two of them looked at each other intently, and the short and fat man smiled and said, "Junior brother Jiang Tao, this is Senior Brother Tian Litian." The two of us received a summons from the young master three days ago, and learned that Senior Brother Chu will come here to take up his post in the next few days, so he is waiting here every day, Senior Brother Chu, please!"
The two bowed as they spoke, and Chu Yi was not polite to take the lead.
Entering the mine, Chu Yi found that what Wang Ding said was true. I saw that there are many slightly narrower mines densely distributed on both sides of the main mine road, and there is a rope that exudes crystal light at the mouth of each mine road, which extends to the depths of the mine road, and from time to time there is a "clanging" sound from it.
Tian Li saw Chu Yi's gaze sweeping to the mines on both sides from time to time, so he said knowingly: "Senior Brother Chu, this ore vein was abandoned by the ancient monks, and I don't know how many years it has been mined when it was abandoned. Inside, it is like a labyrinth. The abundant ore on the surface has been mined, so the miners of Nianbenmen are mining dozens of miles underground. These ropes are the markers, and they can follow the ropes back the way they came, and even then the miners often get lost in them. ”
Chu Yi nodded slightly when he heard this, it seemed that the Black Tiger Sect was benevolent and righteous in treating the miners! Before that, he had heard that many cultivators only cared about their own interests and never cared about the life or death of the miners.
While the three of them were talking and laughing, Chu Yi learned that there were about fifty outer disciples stationed at the entrance of the mine, while the others were guarding the middle of the mine. As the head of the vein, he has an independent stone chamber located in the deepest part of the vein, which serves as his usual cultivation place.
A quarter of an hour later, the three of them came to a closed stone door at the end of the vein. Tian Li stepped forward and stretched out his hand to push, and the stone door slowly opened, revealing a stone room three feet square.
I saw that the stone room was quite poorly furnished, and there was nothing but a stone bed.
Chu Yi paced in and sat on the stone bed, and instructed Tian Li and the others: "Bother the two junior disciples to gather the other junior disciples here, I have something to announce." ”
Jiang Tao and the others bowed down and turned away. A quarter of an hour later, more than 100 disciples of the Black Tiger Sect who were here as overseers gathered in clusters in the depths of this vein.
Everyone was talking to each other, and they didn't know what new rules the newly appointed senior manager would make, and they were all quite apprehensive.
Chu Yi stood tall in front of everyone, and collected everyone's whispered discussions. swept around, smiled slightly, and said loudly: "Senior brothers, please love Jing!"
The sound was like a torrent of thunder, which instantly overshadowed the "buzzing" discussion, shaking everyone's blood and blood. Everyone's hearts froze, and they all kept silent, looking at Chu Yi with a shocked face. I didn't expect that this young new senior brother's cultivation was so good, and this roar alone was already much higher than the previous heads!
Chu Yi smiled slightly, and said loudly: "In Xia Chu Yi, he is the new head of the ore vein. I have already seen the previous accounts of this vein, and Chu has no other requirements, I just hope that you can ensure the performance of the previous senior brother during his tenure!
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, and they responded loudly: "Obey the orders of my senior brother!"
Before he came to this position, Chu Yi had already learned that the amount of ore actually produced by this vein each year was more than recorded in the accounts. This extra amount was naturally detained by everyone, which is a normal thing in all veins.
Besides, the head of this vein is still in danger of his life, as long as it is not too much, the high-level of the Black Tiger Gate will turn a blind eye and let it go!
Chu Yi naturally didn't want to break the rules inside, so he pushed the boat down the river and chose his predecessor's performance as the standard, which naturally swept away the doubts in everyone's hearts and was pleasantly surprised.
After Chu Yi gave a few more commands, he waved his hand and let everyone disperse. He returned to the stone house, his eyes flickering as he pondered his next move. There is still nearly half a year before the strange disappearance happens, just in case it really comes, he will follow Wang Ding's advice to go out to avoid the limelight for a while.
After all, it was so strange and abnormal at this time, and even the elders of the Black Tiger Sect didn't figure out what it was. Although he is confident, he does not want to risk his life. After the plan was established, he sat cross-legged on the stone bed and closed his eyes to run the 'Four Elephants Mysterious Spirit Technique', concentrating on refining the spiritual power transformed by the red lotus seeds in his body.
Meanwhile, in a hidden cave at the edge of the Rocky Valley, a stocky man in red is observing the entrance to the mine through a bronze mirror. At the same time, he muttered in his mouth: "Chu Yi! Hmph! Hong sees that you don't have three heads and six arms, but that's it!"
Then he put away the bronze mirror, and at the same time, a few more colorful array flags appeared with the palm of his hand. As soon as the detective raised a few array flags, they were inserted at the entrance of the cave in a flash, and the spiritual light disappeared without a trace, and the already very hidden cave entrance disappeared under a wave of invisible fluctuations!
The short and fat man in red sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, motionless, as if an old monk had settled down.
On this day, as usual, Chu Yi, who was sitting cross-legged on the stone bed with his eyes closed and refining qi, suddenly opened his eyes. A moment later, a deep voice sounded outside the stone room, "Escort Zhou Ren in the Lower Black Tiger Gate, meet Senior Brother Chu!"
"It turns out that Senior Brother Zhou has arrived, and I hope Senior Brother will forgive me if I am disappointed!"
Chu Yi's figure flickered, and he stood in front of the stone gate, and the stone door opened with a wave of his robe. I saw a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears standing outside the door, with a smile on his face.
"I've heard of Senior Brother Chu's name for a long time, and when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary!" the middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly.
"Senior Brother Zhou has a good reputation, please!" Chu Yi waved his hand slightly and bowed to give way.
The two of them sat cross-legged on the stone bed, and the middle-aged man said with a smile: "Senior Brother Chu must know the intention of his brother, so I won't go around the bush, I don't know how the senior brother is prepared?"
Chu Yi smiled slightly and said, "I have long heard that Senior Brother Zhou is a punctual person, so Senior Brother has already prepared it early, and I also asked Senior Brother to take a look!"
After finishing speaking, he took out a storage bag and an account book from his arms and handed them over, and then took out a storage bag and put it in the middle-aged man's hand, and said in a low voice: "This is a little bit of the brothers' thoughts, Senior Brother Wanwang smiles!"
After the middle-aged man turned out, he said repeatedly: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say!"
After looking at the accounts and storage bags by the way, he nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, the junior brother is really a fine person." As a brother, he will not stay again, he will have leisure in the future, and he will have a good time with his junior brother!"
