Chapter 91 Mission
After only one meal of sword control, he had already arrived at the Zangdao Hall. He greeted Mr. Mo, who was still careless under the cabinet, and Chang Xi turned around and came to the other end of the Zangdao Hall.
In front of him was the side wall of the hall, and Chang Xi kept rushing straight towards the wall. But the moment the steps he took touched the edge of the wall, the surface of the wall was rippling like a calm lake. Chang Xi did not doubt that he had him and stepped into it in one step.
A brief flower in front of me was then suddenly enlightened. I saw a very long counter in the wide hall. There were countless green jade slips hanging on the high wall behind the counter, like stars in the sky. All kinds of disciples of various peaks walked and stopped in front of each counter, some hesitant, and some hit it off. The buzzing voices came into my ears, and Chang Xi smiled and joined it.
This is the place where inner disciples use to take over sect tasks, also known as inner hall.
Different counters have different sect tasks, each performing its own duties. Chang Xi only took a look at the tasks such as taking care of spiritual plants and alchemy and refining weapons and no longer paid attention to them. Although these tasks are not only not dangerous but also rewarding quite generously, he was a sword cultivator and asked him to trick the spiritual plants or refining weapons, so he was afraid that he would jump off the cliff with all the elders assigned to these entrusted ones.
The sword master naturally wants to find a bloody task.
Chang Xi walked past several counters, but still did not find the right task. At this time, a inconspicuous blue jade slip swept across the corner of Chang Xi's eyes, suddenly stopped and walked towards the counter.
Amu leaned against the counter and was about to doze.
"The demons killed this day will not harm you too sooner or later. But I chose the young master to harm you when he was on the inner palace. Today is almost over and a complete task has not been taken over. Now my contribution point is going to be halfway."
Amu muttered, and flipped his eyes and looked at the green jade slips on the wall behind him. Then he looked at the long queues that were almost lined up in front of the counter of others. The depressed look on his face became a little stronger.
No wonder the front door of his counter is deserted. Looking closely at the green jade slips on the wall behind him, almost most of the tasks are related to fighting, and the rest are even more niche. The situation in Huizhou has not been peaceful recently. A few days ago, there were even tragedies in which no Qingyun Mountain disciples participated in the encirclement and suppression of the Ten Thousand Demons, among which there were also Jindan cultivators. Under such a haze, this task of going out to the sect is very likely to fight with the Ten Thousand Demons, is naturally rare to be interested in.
"But the senior sister who came to take over the mission this morning is so beautiful. I wonder which disciple is from which peak? She looks and looks so silly for a few times."
Just as Amu Xian was thinking, a black shadow blocked the light in front of him. Amu immediately raised his head and looked at Chang Xi in front of him as if he was watching a series of beating contribution points, and quickly gave him a smile attentively.
Chang Xi pointed to a place on the wall, "Take that task down and let me see."
Amu knew the number of each green jade slip. He knocked out a string of rhythmic notes with his fingers. He saw that the green jade slip was led by Amu's fingers and floated to Chang Xi.
Chang Xi grabbed the jade slip and a wisp of spiritual power penetrated it. After digesting all the details in the jade slip, he raised his head and a look of hesitation appeared on his face.
The explanation in the jade slip is very clear.
There is a spiritual jade mine to which the sect belongs more than 5,000 miles west of Qingyun Mountain. Although the scale of the spiritual mine is not small, the class of the ore produced is mostly low, so it is not considered an important sect industry. Half of the disciples in the mine who are responsible for mining ore are registered disciples who have been delegated to the sect's affiliated industries, and the other half are disciples who are exiled here for crimes or other reasons.
The rules of the mines are simple. You only need to ship the minerals needed by the sect on time and in quantity every month, and nothing happens during the rest of the time. However, in recent times, several horrifying incidents have occurred in the mines that have been peaceful.
About a month ago, a disciple in charge of patrolling the Lingyu Mine found a corpse with blood sucked from the body in the surrounding forest. After some investigation, it was determined that the corpse was an ordinary disciple in the mine.
Because the mine is located in the deep mountains and forests, there are fierce monsters appearing from time to time. After several investigations, the murderer in this case was blamed on the monsters, and no longer investigated in depth, and the case was closed in a hurry. Although the other disciples had complaints, it was not up to him after all, so who would have tried to talk more about a dead person? Of course, this incident did not cause much trouble and was soon destroyed by everyone.
But I never thought that after this incident, more victims began to appear one after another, and all of them were sucked away from the essence and blood of the body. What's even more terrifying is that those mummies who were sucked only had skinny and bone-bone left with chilling and weird smiles on their faces.
Some disciples even claimed that when they were relieved late at night, they saw their already sleepy friends getting up like sleepwalking, losing their souls, and staggering into the dense forest, and never came out again.
All the disciples in the mine were panicked for a moment, afraid that the next one would be their turn to be trapped by the murderous ghost to suck the essence and blood. This extreme depression finally broke out after the body of a foundation-building cultivator was discovered. All the disciples who were afraid to the extreme gathered all their contribution points together and jointly issued this task of seeking help to the sect.
"The level of danger is only below level C..."
Chang Xi stroked the jade slip in his hand and carefully considered the interests. After all, it was the time of turmoil in Huizhou, and the practice of sucking out other people's essence and blood was indeed like an evil way. If this secretly covets the essence and blood of a monk, it is still easy to deal with. If it is a human, it is not a monster, then it must be considered whether there is still a possibility of more than one enemy.
Just when Chang Xi was thinking about it, he suddenly saw two small avatars in the lower right corner of the information explained in this jade slip, one of which had already lit up.
Chang Xi couldn't help but be stunned. What does this mean?
Amu looked along the position where Chang Xi pointed, and slapped his head: "Sir, I'm so embarrassed. Look at my forgetfulness. This task has actually been set by a senior sister earlier today. The two avatars below were strongly requested by the commissioned publisher, which means that at least two people are needed to take on this task."
Chang Xi couldn't help but frowned and said, "At least two people? Do you know the senior sister you are talking about?"
"Where can you forget the senior sister who looks like a fairy? But you just need to use your spiritual power to check the lit avatar, we can't talk too much." Amu touched his head and resolutely implemented his professional ethics.
A wisp of spiritual power penetrated again, and looking at the lifelike portrait that appeared in the jade slip, Chang Xi smiled: "It turned out to be her."
Amu said in surprise: "Senior brother knows that fairy sister?"
Chang Xi nodded undeniably.
"Senior brother is amazing. As long as the senior brother takes this mission, there will be a beauty along the way. Wouldn't it be beautiful?" Amu's eyes suddenly admired at Chang Xi, and his thumb was even more upright.
Chang Xi smiled and shook his head, not wanting to explain more, took over the task, took off the disciple's nameplate and handed it to Amu to register. After a while, another black avatar in the task jade slip lit up. As the jade slip trembled slightly, a faint connection seemed to arise between the two avatars.
Amu handed the disciple's nameplate and mission jade slip back to Chang Xi. Chang Xi put away the jade slip and prepared to go back to set a departure time with the man on the other end of the jade slip. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he accidentally glanced at an inconspicuous mission jade slip in the corner and stopped.
