Beginning to practice immortality as a refugee

Chapter 140 Digging a Hole

Now that everyone has recovered, some sharp-eyed monks noticed that there were caves opened by predecessors on the mountainside, and they immediately rushed over one by one.

The cold wind accumulating on the ground is mixed with the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth with the yin attribute. If he is not a monk who is practicing demon cultivation, he would have to stand in the wilderness with no shelter. If it blows all night long, it will cause harm.

Among them, the sloppy soup, Bu Lao Tong and Du Tu Tuo were the fastest and had already taken over three caves near the Taoist temple.

Xiao Huanxi rode on Ren Xingyun and forced him to lie on the ground.

However, Ren Xingyun was not used to running on all fours yet, so he fell behind the three monks in front. Xiao Huanxi took out a pink leather whip from his storage bag and whipped him several times, causing blood and flesh to fly everywhere.

The monks looked at him with fear.

This little Huanxi is so charming and beautiful, but she is actually also a vicious devil. Being her Huanxi's slave is quite bearable.

Some people secretly laughed in their hearts, letting that man take the limelight, how could Mo Ruyan's reward be so delicious?

I'm afraid that sooner or later, I will die in Xiao Huanxi's hands and be sucked dry.

Ren Xingyun took a few whips, and the pain was piercing his bones, and then he hurriedly lay down on the ground. He was a master after all, so he crawled very fast on all fours, and soon found a nearby cave.

The four or so people below were the dozen or so inner sect disciples accepted by Wu Feng. They were all in the middle stage of Qi training. They controlled the escape light one by one and quickly divided up the cave halfway up the mountain.

Further down, there were more than twenty outer sect disciples who were in the early stages of Qi training, and they also used their own methods to seize the caves under the mountainside. At this time, the caves were no longer enough, and some even started taking action because of this.

It's just that everyone just entered Xuanmo Sect today, and they didn't have the intention to fight to the death. They made a little effort to estimate the strength and weakness, and the weak ones quickly backed away.

They could only use their magic power to use their magic tools, and began to dig holes in the mountains and do hard work.

Everyone cursed in their hearts, who would have thought that they would dig holes on the first night after joining the sect, which is really not the behavior of an immortal cultivator.

They all greeted the eighteenth generation of Wu Feng's ancestors in their hearts, but the bold ones dared to secretly scold Mo Ruyan a few times in their hearts.

The worst thing is those martial arts slaves who don't know magic. The Eagle falls on the mountain top and is blown by the Yin attribute spirit all the year round. The stone is as cold as ice and as hard as iron.

When I dig with the sharp knife in my hand, sparks suddenly come out, and only a small hole is dug out. I am afraid that even if I dig until tomorrow morning, I won't be able to dig out the cave.

The agile and fast warrior ran along the road to test and found that the wind at the foot of the mountain had become lighter and the rocks were much softer, so he ran towards the foot of the mountain, and the other warriors hurriedly followed.

Down the mountainside.

Lu Ye and the two brothers finally met together, and the three nodded to each other without saying much.

They are all people in troubled times, and they are used to turbulence in the mortal world. Such a dangerous situation is just a worse environment. The three brothers are lucky to have survived, and there is hope for being alive.

However, the three of them only have spiritual roots. Wang Hu has just finished laying the foundation stone, while Lu Ye and Zhang Cunyi have not even finished laying the foundation stone. Among the outer disciples, his three brothers are firmly locked in the first, second, and third place.

It's a pity that it's the last one.

Naturally, he couldn't compare with other sect members, so he didn't get the cave.

The three of them chose a leeward spot and prepared to dig.

Wang Hu and Zhang Cunyi took out the big guns and swords from their storage bags, used up all their energy, and hit the rocks with sparks, leaving only a small crater.

The two of them tried their best to fight.

Bang bang bang!

The big gun and sword were shattered!

Wang Hu took out the mace again, used his magic power, and smashed it down, causing a bowl of big rocks to fall. However, he only hit it a few dozen times before his magic power was exhausted, and he only smashed out a doghouse.

Lu Ye did not believe in evil, so he took out the long spear left behind by the master's black army. At the beginning, this treasured spear could be penetrated by the true energy and was regarded as a treasure among ordinary soldiers.

"what……"

He shouted sharply, and his whole body's true energy surged, his figure surged, and his body was filled with energy and blood.

"go with!"

Lu Ye stabbed hard with a spear.

hum!

The tip of the spear penetrated the stone half an arm's length deep.

it works!

Wang Hu and Zhang Cunyi were overjoyed, but they only heard a click sound, and the metal gun barrel actually broke.

This black stone limited Lu Ye's strength, and all the huge force was concentrated on the barrel of the gun, and it actually broke this precious soldier.

Lu Ye was also confused.

He doesn't have as much magic power as Wang Hu at this time, and even if he uses it, it can only turn the doghouse into a big doghouse.

How good is this?

At this time, a faint sound suddenly came from the mountainside, but it came from the Little Joy Cave. It was also mixed with Ren Xingyun's voice of half pain and half enjoyment.

The three brothers immediately turned dark.

Wang Hu was so angry that he threw away the mace in his hand.

"This kid Ren Xingyun relies on women to enjoy his happiness, but we three brothers are still here digging holes to death!"

"This is too unfair. Is that woman blind? How can I, Wang Hu, be inferior to that Luo Guo?"

Zhang Cunyi glanced downward without leaving any trace.

"Second brother, maybe we could compare before, but now we really can't."

Wang Hu was furious and was about to argue with Zhang Cunyi, but Lu Ye shouted and shut up.

If you have the strength to argue, it's better to save your energy and dig in a few more times.

Or, just take shelter at the foot of the mountain?

The stone there should be soft, and I have already watched the master chip away large chunks of stone.

But he saw a short figure jumping over in the distance.

"Benefactor!" The man bowed to Wang Hu, then turned to Lu Ye, and saluted again hurriedly, "Brother Lu..."

"I look like you two from a distance. Are you two worried that the cave is difficult to open?"

"Leave this job to me."

This man has a sharp mouth, thin cheeks, and a long beard. He is the rat demon Shu Chitu who ate a lot of steamed buns from Wang Hu, escaped from Huanxi's mouth when he was a child, and was pinched by Lu Ye.

Wang Hu was still a little embarrassed.

"I just ate a few steamed buns, so I shouldn't thank you so much. Your body is so small, how long will you have to eat?"

"Forget it, if we brothers can't do it, we can go to the foot of the mountain and open a cave."

Shu Chitu shook his head hurriedly.

"That's wrong. My benefactor has only been practicing for a short time, so I don't know anything."

"I see that the Black Cave Mountain veins are like a waterfall falling straight down. The further you go to the source, the purer the yin energy becomes, which is conducive to practice."

"There is a first-order spiritual vein below this mountain range. The eye of the pulse is in the Taoist temple where the sect leader is located at the top of the mountain. The place is locked up by an array. I am afraid it has the level of second-order spiritual veins. Below the pulse eye, the spiritual energy gradually weakens. .”

"That's why the elders who are in the late stage of Qi training are trying to grab the nearby caves under the Taoist temple."

"As we get to the foot of the mountain, the spiritual energy becomes thinner, which is not conducive to practice. The environment of this Black Cave Mountain is bound to give birth to a large number of beast ghosts. Although they have not really developed their spiritual wisdom, they are very powerful. A little carelessness can cause casualties. That mountain It’s not safe underfoot either.”

The three Luye brothers immediately felt chills down their backs after hearing this.

Shu Chitu smiled.

"I am the root foot of the rat demon. This cave is built for my magical power. It is nothing. Please wait a moment..."

"Let me pick a good place for you."

As soon as he swayed on the spot, a thick earthy light appeared on his body, and even his beard grew much longer in an instant, almost hanging to the ground.

The ends of the many beards are tangled together in the end, like pointed spindles, but with a little yellow light, falling in the wind.

Shu Chitu followed the yellow light and walked quickly, abandoned the stone, and walked a hundred steps diagonally downwards. The three Lu Ye brothers had no idea why and could only follow.

Although Shu Chitu was short in stature, he was very fast and soon found a place among the rocks.

Seeing the yellow light fall, he suddenly became energetic and said happily.

"This is it. Under the mountainside, this place has the heaviest Yin Qi."

"If a person is buried here, it must be a geomantic treasure place..."

The three Luye brothers immediately turned dark after hearing this. Shu Chitu turned around and saw that the three of them looked wrong and quickly apologized.

"Don't worry guys, I used to work part-time as a Feng Shui master for a while."

"That's easy to say. This place is considered a node in the spiritual veins. It's not bad at all. It's enough to open a three-eyed cave." "It's not as good as the four elders, but it's not worse than the caves of the inner disciples."

"In this mountain range, it belongs to the third level."

Luye was overjoyed.

The pulse eye occupied by the sect master and deputy sect master is the best first class, the four elders outside the pulse eye are considered second class, and those with intermediate qi training skills occupying the mountainside are third class.

As outer sect disciples, I and others are already at the foot of the mountain. They should be considered fourth class. Now it is certainly a good thing to be promoted to a higher rank.

As for the servants and servants further down, I'm afraid they won't be the same.

Being able to sit back and watch two people is already very satisfying. This demon sect acts so coldly, and I am afraid that the competition in the sect will also be cruel.

Just when Lu Ye was thinking.

Shu Chitu took out two short-toothed rakes from the storage bag. The yellow light on the rake head flashed and he cut into the hard black stone wall. Strangely enough, these hard black stones were so soft under the rake. But it is no different from loess.

After just a few clicks, a large hole was dug in the wall. Shu Chitu got into it, waving his arms in the air and leaving an afterimage.

Lu Ye picked up a piece of gravel and squeezed it hard, only to find that the previously hard stone had now turned into an ordinary stone and broke into pieces.

Shu Chitu turned around and smiled.

"Brother Lu, this is the slough of my demonic body, and I made a short rake out of the teeth."

"Compared with other magic weapons, it lacks sharpness and toughness, but if you are digging rocks and drilling holes, it is the most suitable."

"Brothers, wait a moment."

He turned around and got into it. A pile of rubble was thrown out, and soon a pile of rubble gathered outside.

Lu Zhiyi sighed, he really has a specialization in the art, and as long as his magical powers are matched, he will be really sharp at work.

It only takes a moment.

Shu Chitu simply dug out a square cave of about twenty square meters.

"Haha, it's done!" Shu Chitu came out of the cave with great pride, waiting for the three Luye brothers to praise him.

However, although the three brothers looked dumbfounded, there was no praise for them.

Just as he was hesitating, Wang Hu handed him a steamed bun from the storage bag.

"Brother Shu, it's not too late for you to eat before you start working."

Shu Chitu ate several steamed buns and was about to move to another place to continue digging.

Wang Hu held him back and said.

"Brother Shu, since you are full, please open this cave a little higher."

"Otherwise, my eldest brother will have to go in lying on his stomach, and he won't be able to sit up straight."

Shu Chitu suddenly realized it and smiled sheepishly.

"Oh, but I'm used to digging holes for myself. I forgot the height. Please wait a moment."

He got back into the short cave again, but this time he used magic, and his body became taller step by step. At the same time, he kept waving two short-toothed rakes. It took him an extra stick of incense, but this time he really opened the cave.

Not only is the height sufficient, but a circular skylight is also opened on the top of the cave using exquisite techniques.

"Brother Lu," Shu Chitu came out with a dusty face, "When things stabilize, I just need to find a fellow Taoist to exchange for a piece of crystal, and I can polish it to cover the skylight for easy lighting."

Lu Ye and others hurriedly thanked them. Wang Hu smiled from ear to ear. What he took out this time was Roujiamo.

Shu Chitu ate ten in a row, working harder and harder.

He took out a magic weapon in the shape of an oil lamp from his storage bag, and directed his magic power toward a pile of gravel, and strange fire flew out, capable of burning black stones.

The blazing flames burned the pile of stones in the blink of an eye, and Shu Chitu used magic to cast two stone gates directly in front of the cave.

The red soil of Shu wipes away the sweat.

"Finally done!"

"Everyone, wait until I regain my breath and dig two more places."

When the moon slanted up into the sky, there were three adjacent caves on the rocky wall under the mountainside.

The price is about half a sack, steamed buns, meat patties and eggs.

In order to express his gratitude, Lu Ye took out a bottle of wine from his storage bag. It was a gift from Chuangpo Tian, ​​​​to the newly-named princess and the fateful prince-in-law.

Shu Chitu was overjoyed when he heard it, saying that he hadn't drank the wine in the palace for many years, and it tasted so good.

"Brother Shu," Lu Ye couldn't help but remind him, "I see your digging skills are so superb."

"If you have spare energy, you might as well go around to the residences of the outer disciples and see who hasn't moved in yet, or whose residences are cramped and cramped and want to open up a bit more lavishly."

"I think you can charge some spirit stone hard work, and the asking price can be a little higher. After all, no one else can do this job except you..."

Shu Chitu suddenly understood and bowed.

"Thank you, Brother Lu, for reminding me. I also have some good advice."

"There are four elders who teach the technique, but there are more than twenty outer disciples."

"You three brothers should try not to be apprentices to the same master. After all, these elders were kidnapped. Even the master of the school cannot observe whether they are willing to teach or how much they teach."

"If they deliberately slack off, it will be a few years of useless work for us, and we can't afford it."

"It's best to spread out so we can take care of each other in the future."

Lu Ye exclaimed, he didn't expect that this rat demon actually thought as he thought. It seemed that this rat demon was not confused about important matters, but was just a bit greedy.

After sending away the rat demon, the three brothers all entered the Lu Ye Cave Mansion. They looked at each other and were silent at first.

Too many things happened on this day.

"Let me say it first..." Lu Ye sighed.

After he left Zheng Guoshi, he rode a yellow bamboo horse to the capital at night and chopped off the head of the Tengu. However, when he came back, the bamboo horse's magic weapon was scrapped and caught fire, which attracted the attention of the Xu family elders and forced him to pretend to be Zheng Tiancheng's slave.

Then he kept raising the fire, making Xu Guang think that Zheng Tiancheng knew the location of the cave and was bound to get the treasure, which aroused Xu Guang's murderous intention.

Then there is the story of three brothers escaping for their lives together. Everyone is together and knows each other.

The three of them discussed it for a while and finally decided to settle down in Xuanmo Sect and practice well.

As for other words, the three people communicated with each other through their eyes. There were all immortal cultivators around here, so speaking was not so safe.

"Second brother, third brother," Lu Ye did not forget to remind him, "When Xu Guang slashed through Zheng Tiancheng's Hundred Soul Flag, the ghost energy dispersed. You inhaled a lot, and you were all trapped in the sea of ​​energy by him."

"You must remember to practice diligently. If this ghost energy breaks out, you will be dead. Maybe the sect master can save you, but he may not take action for the two pawns wandering around inside and outside the Foundation Sect."

Wang Hu and Zhang Cunyi nodded to express their understanding.

The three brothers talked for a short time and decided to appoint an elder as their teacher tomorrow, and they came up with ideas on the spot.

After Wang Hu and Zhang Cunyi left, Lu Ye lay down on the stone bed blankly.

I feel confused today and not suitable for practice.

Outside the round hole in the skylight, there was a gloomy wind, black clouds were floating, and the bright moon was turned into a black moon.

I wonder what my Furong is doing now. Is she looking up at the moon like me? Is the moon over there bright, round and bright?

The next day.

A bell rang in the Taoist temple, and Lu Ye hurried out.

The servants of the outer disciples gathered together and went up the mountain. On the way, he heard someone say that at the foot of the mountain last night, two steel-framed martial artists who were not strong enough to dig out a cave froze to death.

There was a great Iron Zang martial artist who dug a hole and stuffed most of his body with the bone-shrinking technique. However, he encountered some evil thing at night. His internal organs were hollowed out and he screamed in agony, but no one dared to help him.

Only on the first night, one out of ten slaves died, which shows that survival here is difficult.

Lu Ye's steps up the mountain couldn't help but become heavier.

Today, I must pay homage to a good master.
