The two senior brothers holding Wu Baoru realized that he had completely fainted, and both of them nodded towards the headmaster. The elders were all experienced and sophisticated men. Usually, they can read each other's meaning with just one glance, so they naturally understand the meaning of both. They had suspected Yue Qianchou, and with Wu Baoru's cultivation, if he really wanted to kill him, he could still let him come here. Now the junior and junior brothers who cultivated in the Nascent Soul period were completely stunned, and the grievances they suffered could be imagined.
"Where are the law enforcement students!" shouted Liu Changqing. "Yes!" Several people appeared on both sides of the hall. Suddenly there was silence in the square, and they all looked in front of the hall, knowing that the chief had to make a decision.
"The disciples were not allowed to criticize right and wrong. Let this matter be put aside for now, and it will become clear when Elder Wu recovers. "Liu Changqing said first, then looked at the two who were complaining: "Older Wu chased after and beat up the disciples in public, everyone I saw with my own eyes, and everyone I saw, and I have been convicted and imprisoned to recuperate, waiting to be dealt with. Yue Qianchou insulted the teacher in public, and everyone heard it with their own ears, and I was punished for forced labor at the Lingshi Mine, waiting to be dealt with. Do you have an opinion? "No elder would object.
The disciples naturally did not dare to have an opinion on the Sect Master's decision. But everyone understood that this treatment was clearly a loss to Yue Qianchou. To find out where the Lingshi Mine was where the people lived, it was clearly a place where the Qingguang Sect exiled its disciples. The disciples who went to work there had very poor roots or had committed crimes. There was a quota to mine spirit stones every day, and those who failed to complete the task would be severely punished. I've never heard of a few people coming back alive from there.
In everyone's eyes, Yue Qianchou was clearly the ruler of suffering, but he received the harshest punishment instead. It was reminiscent of the last time he offended his grandfather and granddaughter, which was clearly a retaliation. No one dared to say anything, just shook his head and sighed in his heart. Liu Zhengguang among the crowd was delighted when he saw Yue Qianchou being punished for going to the Lingshi Mine, but he also felt that his grandfather was doing this in public.
“Nephew Yue, do you have any opinion on how to deal with it this way?” Liu Changqing said coldly.
“Murid was willing to be punished, but I dare not complain.” Yue Qianchou replied with a sad expression, making all the disciples feel sad. Little did he know that when he heard that he was going to the Lingshi Mine, his heart surged wildly.
With a wave of his hand, Elder Wu was taken away, and Yue Qianchou was also ushered into the Lingshi Mine by the law enforcement disciples. Qu Ping'er stared at that shocking and lonely back, biting his lips, he could not imagine the sight of such a talented person working hard at the Lingshi Mine.
……
Outside the Lingshi Mine, there were rows of stone caves on the left and right sides, all of which were the residences of the mining disciples. In the open space in front, nearly a hundred disciples in tattered clothes and dirty bodies were gathered in the pile at this moment. On top of the stone pillar in front of them, a disciple took off his shirt and tied his hands and feet with several iron chains.
"Whoops! Whoops..." A whip full of thorns fluttered, and the whip carried a thread of flesh and blood to splatter. Whipped down was a scream. The audience of disciples were all shocked.
A bare-chested cultivator walked back and forth with his hands behind his back. This person was a monk at the early stages of pill formation, his name was Gao Shiping, and he was the guardian of this Lingshi mine. He looked at these frightened students. I just heard him say viciously: "Do you see it! This was the end of stealing spirit stones. I'm warning you, listen to me, don't take any chances, no one can get muddy water under my nose, Uncle" who catches fish..."
As he spoke, he suddenly saw streams of light coming from a distance, and two law enforcement disciples fell down with a sad disciple. Gao Shiping put a smile on his face, ran over, and said with a flattering smile: "The two law enforcement brothers haven't seen each other in a long time, and they sent it to me again." He glanced in the depressed direction. This person was Yue Qianchou, who was punished for doing forced labor in the Lingshi Mine.
The two law enforcement disciples nodded and heard the whips and screams. They glanced at the execution ground there, and one of them frowned and asked, "Young Brother Gao, what is that person doing?"
"Back to Senior Brother, this fellow hates so much. He dared to secretly absorb the Lingshi that was dug in the Lingshi mine. When he came out, he was found by the sect's magic weapon, and he was whipped 500 times according to the rules. "Say Gao Shi Ping.
Another law enforcement disciple shook his head and sighed, "I've never heard that anyone can survive under Junior Brother Gao's 'wolf tooth whip."
Yue Qianchou glanced at that, and was secretly shocked when he saw the thorny mace carrying a thread of flesh and blood. I thought to myself: "What magic weapon? I still want to steal spirit stones, but I don't know if it's dangerous or not."
A law enforcement disciple shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Murid Mr. Hao, what else can you say."
It was Yue Qianchou who offended the sect master? ”Gao Shiping said in shock, seeing that the senior law enforcement brother had nodded his head to confirm, and said with a full smile: “Hei! Dare to offend you I will definitely comfort you, Lao Gao." After speaking, he turned around and shouted, "Someone!"
Yue Qianchou knew that he was very famous in Qingguangzong, but he did not expect that even the Lingshi Mine was so far away known. Then a supervisor ran over and took Yue Qianchou away with Gao Shiping's arrangements, and faintly heard a law enforcement disciple say: "Young Brother Gao, you cannot kill this person. Some elders specifically explained that he was still useful to keep.. ."
The supervisor brought him among the mining disciples, and first, he showed him what it meant to have a heart-wrenching flow under the whip. Yue Qianchou did not react after seeing it, and did not think there was anything unfortunate about the executed disciple. In his words, since you dare to steal, you must be prepared to be arrested, and the matter of death is not worthy of the sympathy of others.
He looked around at the surrounding mining disciples. Everything is skinny and skinny. Except for the horror that was "revealed" during the execution, the rest of their dirty faces were all submissive and indifferent expressions. With a deep breath in my heart, it seems that these people have been living under oppression for a long time.
This group of overseers were truly ruthless, the disciples who were beaten on the stone pillar were already dead, and they still did not release the corpse until the corpse was smashed to pieces by the mace. Seeing that Yue Qianchou's eyes narrowed slightly, a cold light flashed, did they have hatred, and they wanted to whip the corpses to spill their hatred.
After which, the miners were pushed back into their respective caves, and Yue Qianchou was taken somewhere by the supervisor. There was not much space, only the ground floor was inside. There were already three people lying down, and it seemed like four people would be crowded. The supervisor said coldly, "You live here. Shi Xiaotian, tell him what to do next." The last sentence was spoken to a young man lying on the ground. The young man named Shi Xiaotian heard the watchdog's words. He hurriedly got up to answer. The supervisor said nothing more, turned around and left.
Shi Xiaotian's face was dirty, but he could vaguely see that he was a handsome young man.Of course, Yue Qianchou had also been dabbling in the cultivation world for a long time, so he could not judge his age based on his appearance. The former's big eyes stared blankly at the newcomer.
Yue Qianchou smiled kindly at Shi Xiaotian, but they didn't seem to appreciate it, they just said come with me and didn't say anything more. He carried mining tools, very simple items, a special pickaxe, and a basket that could be carried in the back. After doing this, Shi Xiaotian slowly told him some rules, and the two returned to the cave. Actually, Yue Qianchou really wanted to ask her what was called a checkable magic weapon, but they never answered that question.
The rules of mining do not sound difficult, but I do not know how to do it. Everyone should hand over one high-tier spirit stone each day, which means you can take a hundred middle-tier spirit stones, or 10,000 low-tier spirit stones. If you can't complete a task, don't take a break or eat. To a cultivator, this was not the most important thing, even if he was able to inedia before reaching the potion formation stage, he said, it didn't matter if he hadn't rested or eaten for the past day or two. Worse, the difference that cannot be completed today will be doubled tomorrow and accumulated to the next day, if the task cannot be completed within three days, the report said, the severity of the punishment will be determined by the difference.
As for tasks that get too much done, the advantages can be accumulated to make up for when you fail to complete the next task, in order to avoid punishment. Or you can enjoy an extra 1% spiritual stone, and the miners can choose between the two methods. If someone chooses the latter, then you should be 100% guaranteed to complete the task each time in the future, otherwise you will still be punished for your previous excess has been exhausted.
The strictest thing was that if one dared to steal spirit stones, or secretly absorb spirit stones in the mine, as long as it was discovered, it would be a dead end.
To this rule, Yue Qianchou remembered that he was not worried about whether he could complete the task and be punished, but was thinking about how to steal the spiritual stone without being found while ensuring the completion of the task. This way, he could stay in the Lingshi Cave forever, and then continue to steal.
In his current situation, if he wanted to increase his cultivation base, he needed spirit stones too much. Now that the opportunity was near, it was impossible for him not to steal. Since his way of thinking was no different from his previous life, the truth that horses had no night grass and were not fat, and one could not get rich without a windfall was deeply imprinted in his consciousness. What worried him the most was what kind of magical weapon Gao Shiping had said.
A snoring rang out within the cave, making Yue Qianchou extremely shocked. How could a cultivator sleep so deadly? What is the difference between this and humans? He's a little confused. I really wanted to hide in Jinzhu's world, but I was afraid that she would suddenly disappear, so I had to endure the snoring of the three of them one after another.
The next day, Yue Qianchou realized that everyone here was looking after themselves, and no one would care about you. Then there were three of them imitating, carrying baskets on their backs and pickaxes, and following them to the entrance of the Lingshi Mine. He stood among the crowd and looked around, looking completely different, especially the clothes that were many times cleaner than the others, which were extremely dazzling.
