My Xiuxian script went astray

Chapter 59 Newcomers have just arrived. We will take good care of you in the future.
Many monks set out one after another and came to the square, dividing themselves into teams. Those were the old guard teams, while Chen Lang and the others who had just joined had not yet formed a team, so the situation seemed messy.

Many people did not deliberately conceal their auras. He made a brief investigation and found that many of them had cultivation levels similar to his, but there were only a handful of cultivators at the foundation-building stage. Overall, they were much worse than the Black Mountain Spiritual Mine.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, the scene ahead gradually quieted down, and a monk in bright white clothes appeared. Chen Lang recognized him at a glance as the local mountain master, because his clothes were almost the same as those of the man from the Black Mountain Spiritual Mine.

Could it be that the mountain master also has uniform work clothes? Chen Lang wondered.

"Everyone."

The mountain master stood in front of the white jade statue, with a strong true energy, and began to speak.

From this speech, Chen Lang roughly judged the mountain master's cultivation level, which was at least in the middle stage of foundation building.

As countless eyes gathered, the mountain master continued:

“My surname is Zhang, and I am the owner of the Four Mines in Yanxi. I am responsible for guarding this place and maintaining the sovereignty of the mines.

This place is thousands of miles away from the Tianjian Sect. Although the sect controls the lifeline of the spiritual mine, it is unable to govern it, so it has handed over everything to me. Alchemists are rampant nearby, and bandits are frequent. The Tianjian Sect gives the responsibility to you, which means it gives you trust. You and I both need to work hard, try our best to kill the enemy, guard the territory, and prevent the spiritual mine from falling into the hands of the enemy.

Of course, your efforts will not be in vain. Each person has a guaranteed monthly salary of 200 spirit stones, with no upper limit. It all depends on your luck. If there are those with great talent, I can recommend them to the elders of the sect and grant you the position of inner disciple, which will ensure your rapid advancement.

What I say today is a testimony to the heavens and the earth, and the lord is listening here, and I will never go back on my word."

The mountain master stepped aside, revealing a white jade statue behind him. Then the many cultivators realized his identity.

They had long heard of the Tianjian Sect's great name, and heard that the Sect Master had been a great cultivator at the Nascent Soul level nearly a hundred years ago. Although they could not see the true appearance of the Tianjian Sect Master today, they could take a peek at the stone sculpture, which was worth the trip.

"Inner sect disciple."

There was a glimmer of hope in the eyes of many monks. Most of them were locals. Although they were always called bumpkins by outsiders, they also had some knowledge.

They knew that the owner of the mine was away on an expedition, almost a vassal king, with the same power as the elders of the sect, so they did not doubt that he was bragging.

If I went to a big sect, I could discuss the Dao with the Son of God, have in-depth exchanges with the Holy Ladies, have famous teachers to guide me, and innocent little brothers to follow me, it would be so wonderful just to think about it.

Chen Lang also looked over. He had never seen the Tianjian Sect Master before, but he guessed that he was busy getting beaten and had no time to listen.

When he thought of the sect leader, Chen Lang felt a little ashamed, but then he thought that compared with the generous rewards, the old man’s grievance was nothing.

Seeing so many hopeful faces, the mountain master was very satisfied. However, he raised his voice:

“Pay attention, there is another matter to be said today, which was ordered by the Sect Master himself.

The sect leader recently went to the Black Mountain area for an inspection. He felt sorry for the hard work of the miners and was willing to help the people with compassion. However, the Black Mountain Spiritual Mine had seriously violated regulations and violated the foundation of the sect, so it had been sealed off personally.

In addition, the sect will increase the miners' salaries in the future, but the sect is short of money, so 30 spirit stones will be temporarily deducted from your salaries.

Also, those of you who often deal with miners, you are not allowed to embarrass them from now on, let alone whip them at will. Those who violate this will be fined for one month!"

When these words were spoken, many monks felt displeased.

"Why?"

What do you mean by being so merciful and deducting our salaries?
Earlier, some people were discussing the matter of the Black Mountain Spirit Mine, and vague inside information was coming from there. At that time, the huge hand made countless cultivators feel horrified and sighed that the power of the Yuanying old monster was unfathomable.

But now there is no time to discuss these things, everyone is cursing the sect leader for being a son of heaven.

Anyway, the mountains are high and the roads are long, so he won’t be able to hear you even if you scold him.

"It seems that Brother Dan didn't cause too much trouble for the Tianjian Sect." Chen Lang pondered. He listened attentively and learned some information about the Black Mountain Spiritual Mine. As expected, the mine was indeed leveled.

Then, he pulled over the sweetest-mouthed person and asked carefully, and learned some details, such as the miners did not seem to be dead and were released in the end, and some people had seen them before, and that all the persons in charge of the Black Mountain Spiritual Mine had disappeared.

However, Mr. Jin and the four skinny monkeys did not travel with him. No one knows where they are now. They are probably malnourished for too long and are lying dormant to recover from their old injuries. After all, it is much easier to make a lot of spirit stones outside.

In the evening, someone arranged accommodation and a team, not in the "Songhu Mine", but outside Yanxi, responsible for patrolling a range of one hundred miles.

"Damn it, I haven't received the money yet, why are they deducting 30 more spirit stones?"

In the guards' dormitory, a dozen men came back, taking off their boots and armor, cursing.

"Don't talk about it. It's good to have some use. Our area is relatively stable. As long as there is no war, any money earned will be free." "What if there is a war?"

"Just run, how many people are you willing to risk your life?"

Some people sneered at this and said, "That's a good idea. Do you think supervising the war is just for fun? Others have already thought of what you thought of."

"By the way, there are always unexpected events. Have you heard about what happened to Team 3? They were fighting with the people from the Aoki Sect, and suddenly a weird guy came. He was very fierce and knocked them all down. They barely managed to escape.

Let's all be careful, even if we see someone alone, we should not take it lightly."

……

After a burst of noise, someone suddenly noticed that there was an extra person on the upper bunk, sitting on the bed and listening to their conversation.

"who?"

The guards were all shocked. They had been chatting for such a long time but no one noticed?
"Stop whining, I'm here."

Chen Lang sat at the end of the upper bunk, looking down at everyone, "Are you all veterans?"

"Let me introduce myself. My real name is Han Tianxiao. I just arrived today and have been assigned to your team. I will take good care of you in the future."

New recruit?

They were relieved, but someone couldn't stand the tone of his voice and waved, "Come down, come down and talk first."

Chen Lang was too lazy to move. He scanned the area and asked, "Who is your captain?"

"it's me."

A middle-aged monk stood up. He had been sitting on the bed in the corner resting, silent and taciturn. Chen Lang only saw him after he came out.

"What is your level of cultivation?" Chen Lang asked.

"Fuck, I ask you to get down." An old student couldn't help it and tried to pull Chen Lang's legs. He's our captain, and you're interrogating him here?

Chen Lang jumped down and looked directly at the taciturn captain, "Hello, what's your name?"

"Han Ling, early stage of foundation building."

The captain smiled faintly, "Having the same surname is fate, welcome to join Team Seven."

Chen Lang nodded and looked at the others, "You guys are a bit weak. Who are our enemies? How strong are they?"

Me?
The team member couldn't help it. If you don't want to come, don't come. What are you pretending for? He came up and was about to grab Chen Lang's shoulders, but he turned around, grabbed his collar, and threw him to the upper bunk, almost smashing a hole in the ceiling.

The team member screamed and covered his forehead, horrified. He felt that he could not even use his true energy after just the contact.

Chen Lang said, "Okay, you can sleep on the upper bunk. I'll take the window seat. You're welcome. Also, I don't sleep well. Forget about it during the day, but don't make so much noise at night. I might hit someone in my sleep."

When the other team members saw this, their faces changed slightly. It was obvious that this was a tough guy. The second-in-command of their team was close to building a foundation, but he was thrown out like a chicken.

The captain's eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled faintly, "Everyone says that our team seven is weak, but finally we have a strong team."

"I just got here and don't know the rules. Please be more tolerant. I also have something to ask you. Are you free now?" Chen Lang asked.

"When you're free, let's go out and talk." The captain extended his hand.

"Okay." Chen Lang went out with them, and looked back again. He found that his teammates were all looking at him, so he touched the human skin mask on his face, feeling a little guilty, and frowned, "Don't look at them anymore. Go to bed early, so as not to delay tomorrow's patrol."

After leaving the camp, Chen Lang asked directly:

"Where are we going to inspect? Can we change places? I want to go to Songhu Mine. Do you know where it is?"
