Chapter 3 White Hosta

How can those bastards scold Zhou You behind his back?

Zhou You handed over the Lingshi to the overseer, and after registering, he returned to his residence.

Back to his place, in the empty thatched hut.

There was nothing in the room except a bed.

However, it would be nice to have a place of my own.

Sitting on the bed, Zhou You looked at the black rings on his hands in a daze.

What is this thing called a spirit lock ring?

I don't know what material or method it is made of.

Even with a hard and sharp hoe, no marks can be left on it.

Sighing, Zhou You collapsed on the bed, there was nothing he could do about this thing that could lock spiritual energy and locate it.

……

Zhou You didn't leave the room until roll call at dinner.

After queuing up and punching the card to get the food.

He sat down at the lunch place again, and began to chew on the steamed buns.

"Brother Zhou, I heard that the group of people came to you this afternoon?" Zhang Yuan came over and asked Zhou You while eating.

"Who told you?" Zhou You took a sip of water, turned around and asked.

"Someone in the mine saw it secretly, you knocked them away this afternoon!" Zhang Yuan gave a thumbs up to Zhou You.

"Didn't I tell you how to deal with them?" Seeing Zhang Yuan's excited expression, Zhou You shook his head and said.

Zhang Yuan scratched his head, but he really couldn't imitate the appearance of a cold-blooded killer.

Seeing that Zhou You was staring at the ring in his hand in a daze after eating, Zhang Yuan couldn't help asking: "Brother Zhou, what are you thinking while staring at this spirit lock ring?"

"What magic weapon is this?" Zhou You stretched out his wrist, and slammed the rock beside him twice.

He had very little knowledge in his previous life, and he only had a half-knowledge of the magic weapons used by monks, and he didn't even know how to distinguish them.

"There is a formation engraved in this spirit ring, and it cannot be broken." Seeing that Zhou You was about to smash the stone into pieces, Zhang Yuan hurriedly dissuaded him.

Zhou You also heard from other people that there are many formations engraved on this spirit lock ring, which are said to be reinforced, spirit-locked, positioned, and messy, and it is impossible to remove it with ordinary power.

But, he just wanted to smash it!
"boom blah blah"

It wasn't until the stone beside him was smashed that Zhou You stopped, paralyzed there, looking up at the sky, motionless.

"Brother Zhou, you don't want to stay here?"

"nonsense!"

"I have a solution!" Zhang Yuan said confidently.

"What way?" Zhou You sat up straight immediately, and instantly lost the lifeless look just now.

"When we finish digging this spiritual mine, we will definitely have to change places!" Zhang Yuan didn't pay attention to Zhou You's face, and continued:

"I think ten years will be enough. By then, we should be sold to other places to do other jobs."

Zhou You turned sideways, raised his leg, and kicked Zhang Yuan to the ground.

This damn kid is here to show off his experience of being sold!

Zhang Yuan sat on the ground, as if he still didn't understand why Zhou You kicked him, with a somewhat confused look on his face.

I have been resold three times, this is all true!

Zhou You got up and left, he was too lazy to talk to this kid, if he had time to listen to those nonsense, he might as well go to bed earlier.

……

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, Zhou You got up, carried his hoe, and entered the mine again.

Holding the lamp, he still walked the familiar route.

Zhou You was going to dig further today, the remaining spirit stones by the wall were all in small pieces, it was laborious to dig out, but not enjoyable.

The solid soil on the ground was mixed with large and small gravel, which was dug down bit by bit by Zhou You wielding a hoe.

Don't take care of the soil and gravel on the ground. Afterwards, a supervisor will carry a storage bag to collect it and dump it.

In less than half an hour, Zhou You dug more than a foot deep.

Suddenly, there was a "clang".

The traveling hoe hit something hard.

This counter-shock force made his hands numb.

He has never seen anything so hard in this mine!
If I swung my hoe, the spirit stone would probably be crushed, but the hoe in my hand was still stuck?

"what?"

Zhou You shook his hands, and came forward in doubt, pawing at the dirt next to the hard object with his hands.

As the dirt was cleaned up bit by bit with his hands.

The thing that blocked his way appeared in front of his eyes.

It was a palm-length hosta, and I don't know how long it had been buried in the soil.

Zhou You wiped off the dirt on its surface. This white jade hairpin, one end is thick and the other end is thin, without any special patterns. Under the reflection of the spirit lamp, it is white and moist, flawless, without any impurities and lines, and its appearance is excellent.

The white jade hairpin happened to be stuck on top of two small stones.

As soon as the hoe went down, the hairpin was unscathed!

He looked at the hairpin, and then at the spirit lock ring in his hand.

"As expected of the world of comprehension!" Zhou You said with emotion, and put the white jade hairpin into his pocket.

I bumped into my own hoe, but there was no way to leave even a trace?
If it is not a material problem, then this hairpin is very likely to be a magic weapon.

Zhou You temporarily suppressed his desire to explore, then swung his hoe again, and continued digging.

Don't care what the jade hairpin is made of, if you don't have enough spirit stones, you'll have to be whipped at night.

Zhou You was fulfilling his duties as a miner.

The white jade hairpin that he carried in his pocket emitted a faint white light, which faded in just an instant.

……

Mining, eating, and clocking out of get off work.

At night, Zhou You went back to the house, lying on the bed, playing with the hosta he dug out in the mine today.

In this mine, in fact, some messy things can often be dug out.

Someone dug it out last time. I don’t know how many years ago, a female monk’s underwear was handed over to the supervisor.

According to legend, he was rewarded with a meal of meat.

However, Zhou You didn't intend to hand over the jade hairpin.

The thing in his hand looks very valuable.

One day, if he escapes by himself, he might be able to sell it and exchange it for some money to escape.

Zhou You was holding a hairpin and dangling it above his head. It was really boring. He wanted to see if he could hypnotize himself with this thing.

Just when he felt sleepy, a female voice sounded in the room.

"What are you looking at!"

Zhou You's eyes widened immediately. Holding the jade hairpin in his hand, he stood up, walked to the side of the bed, and looked directly under the bamboo bed. There was nothing but dust.

I am not those supervisors, how could there be a woman in the room, it is really whimsical...

Although he didn't discover it, Zhou You didn't think he could hear hallucinations.

He squatted beside the bed, opened his right hand, stared at the white jade hairpin, swallowed, and there was a strange brilliance in his eyes.

"Are you talking?"

"Hehe." The girl laughed like a silver bell.

At this moment, Zhou You was very sure that it was Bai Yuzan who spoke...

"What are you?" Zhou You put the jade hairpin on the bed, while he squatted on the ground, trying to have a face-to-face conversation with the other party.

"This girl is a human and a fairy, not a thing!" The girl snorted and said.

"Let me think about it, is it because you were chased and killed by the enemy, and then died, and the Yuanshen or Yuanying hid in this jade hairpin, hoping to wait for someone destined to avenge yourself and reshape your physical body."

Zhou You directly made up a big show in his brain.

Yuhan was silent.

"I have no intention of seeking help from others to take revenge." After a long while, the girl's voice sounded in the room.

"Then do you want to leave a legacy that will last forever?" Zhou You asked again.

"If the fire is not extinguished, what does it have to do with me." Yuzan replied.

"Then you..." Zhou You was also silent.

"Then how much Lingshi do you think you are worth?"

"Hmm..." came the girl's muffled voice, as if she was really calculating something.

After a while, she seemed to finally give up on calculations and gave Zhou You an answer:
"priceless."

……

Zhou You lay on the bed, talking to the hosta beside the bed.

"What was your cultivation level during your lifetime?"

The girl's voice sounded: "That is a realm that you can never imagine in your little foundation building period."

Zhou You suppressed the desire to scold her, stretched out his wrist, and asked, "Then, is there any way you can get rid of this spirit ring?"

"You can chop off all your limbs and head, and then be reborn." The girl said in a teasing tone.

"If you talk nonsense again, I'll throw you into the cesspit." Zhou You said, staring at the hosta.

She shouldn't be able to destroy this jade hairpin, but she can still do it if it's disgusting.

"I can take this thing off for you, but I will remember what you said!" The girl's tone of the first half of the sentence was very flat, but the second half of the sentence was almost uttered through gritted teeth. .

"Then, what reward do I need to pay you?" Zhou Youcai doesn't care if you remember it or not, as long as you can get out of trouble, you can do whatever you want!

"First, [-] top-grade spirit stones will be used to stuff the gap between my girl's teeth." The girl said carelessly.

In the room, it was quiet for a long time.

One top-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for ten top-grade ones, one hundred middle-grade ones, and one thousand low-grade ones.

"If you can help me out of trouble, I will accept these ten thousand top-grade spirit stones!" Zhou You looked extremely serious.

For more than two months, he thought of countless ways, and actually did some, but there was no possibility of success.

If you can really get out of trouble, what about ten thousand top-grade spirit stones!

"Hahahaha." A girl's laughter came from the jade hairpin.

Through this laughter, Zhou You can even imagine that the other party is rolling on the ground laughing...

After laughing for a long time, the girl finally stopped, and her voice calmed down: "If I can't do it, I will never let it go, so, are you sure?"

The status of a young girl must be unusual, if Zhou You can't do it, there may be some terrible consequences.

"I'm sure!" Zhou You's eyes were burning.

That is the fire of hope, and it is also the fire of freedom!
