Devourer of the Six Realms

Chapter 29 The Miserable Apprentice

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Mi Zhugong?" Jin Bujie asked with a respectful salute.

"Huh? You know me?" Mi Zhugong seemed to be very wary of outsiders, even if they were very polite.

"Uh, that's how it is..." Seeing that the other party was so cautious, Jin Bujie felt a little uneasy, wondering if his purpose of coming this time could be achieved, so he immediately told the story.After Mi Zhugong heard the whole thing, he suddenly snorted coldly.

"This kid also got an incomplete devouring core? Hmph! Just wait for death, why do you need to find a way to prolong your life?" Mi Zhugong jumped from the top of the tower and landed on Jin Bujie and the others. in front of people.Seen from a close distance, this Mi Zhugong is probably in his fifties, with a thin and dry body, and even Jin Xiaokai is a head taller than him.

"This...you can't say that, everyone wants to live for a few more years."

Mi Zhugong stared at Jin Xiaokai with burning eyes, and said with a sneer, "Little fat man, your luck is really not very good."

Jin Xiaokai was terrified by his stare, forced a smile and said: "I, I don't want to do this either."

Mi Zhugong looked at Cheng Xue and Wei Xiaoyu next to him again, frowned and said, "What are you two little guys doing here?"

When Wei Xiaoyu saw this eccentric Mi Zhugong, he felt a little afraid, so he said, "We are friends of Brother Xiaokai...so let's come here and have a look."

"Hmph, I won't bother you about the fact that you came to me so casually, get out!" Mi Zhugong flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked towards the minaret.

"Wait, wait a minute!" Jin Xiaokai was in a hurry, if this guy just left like this, what would he do with his own life?Is it really necessary to live for a few years before dying? "Couldn't you help? It should be easy for you, right?"

"Wahhahahaha, who said it's easy?" Mi Zhugong turned around, his face twitched twice, and he didn't know if it was a smile: "For me, everything has a value. If If you say that this matter is worthless to me, then even if you kill me, you won’t be able to do it! Do you understand, little fat man.”

Seeing that Jin Xiaokai was still in a daze, Cheng Xue beside him asked for him: "Then why don't you just tell me, if you want to learn from you how to prolong your life, what kind of price will you have to pay?"

Although Mi Zhugong's face was calm, he was secretly happy in his heart: "That's right, the bamboo sticks were delivered to my door for me to knock... In this case, I have to think carefully about whether I can extract value from these guys." Come." Jin Xiaokai suddenly felt a little cold, and seemed to have an ominous premonition.

Mi Zhugong looked at several people repeatedly, and suddenly pointed to Jin Bujie and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Although he felt that the other party was really rude, Jin Bujie still swallowed his anger and said: "I brought Xiaokai here."

"So, you don't need to stay." Mi Zhugong nodded.

"What? What stays?" Jin Bujie was a little puzzled.

Mi Zhugong laughed a few times and said: "Hey, didn't you just say that you want to know what price you have to pay? It's very simple! You—" he pointed at Jin Xiaokai and said: "Stay here and work for me Half a year." Pointing to Cheng Xue and Wei Xiaoyu, he said, "As for you two, be my apprentice for half a year! After half a year, I will tell you how I can extend my life."

"Ah?!" Jin Xiaokai and the others looked at each other in blank dismay, completely unexpected that Mi Zhugong would make such a weird request.

"But... this matter has nothing to do with them? Why do we need them..." Jin Xiaokai didn't expect that his two friends would be involved in this matter, and he was very anxious in his heart.

"Hmph, didn't they say they were your friends? Now that friends are in trouble, it's only natural for them to help share the burden." When Mi Zhugong said these words, he seemed to be in a strange mood, as if he didn't quite believe Cheng Xue. He and Wei Xiaoyu would do so much for their friends.

Cheng Xue and Wei Xiaoyu looked at each other and nodded. "It's okay to agree to your request. However, what is the difference between a part-time job and an apprentice?"

Jin Xiaokai said in surprise: "You..."

"Brother Xiaokai, you don't need to say anything. If it weren't for you last time, we would have died in that lava cave long ago. It is only natural for us to come to help you this time."

Seeing their firm attitude, Jin Xiaokai was very grateful, but he could only keep this gratitude in his heart for the time being, and see if he had any chance to repay them in the future.

Mi Zhugong snorted and said: "Apprentice, just help me with some research work, delicate work, if you mess up, don't blame my old man for beating you half to death! As for part-time work, it's nothing, but it needs to be discovered. Some things in the ruins are just rough work.”

"What?!" Jin Xiaokai asked with a bitter face, "Why do you want to do this? Only me..."

"Hey, brother Xiao Kai, we took the initiative to stay and help you, how could we be asked to do those rough jobs." Wei Xiaoyu saw that Xiao Kai was dissatisfied with the division of labor, and immediately threw aside the "loyalty" just now .

"That's what I said, but I always feel..."

Mi Zhugong coughed, interrupted Jin Xiaokai and Wei Xiaoyu, and said, "Stop talking nonsense! Whether you want to do it or not is a matter of one sentence!"

Jin Bujie felt that this condition was too harsh, so he persuaded him a few words, but Mi Zhugong was stubborn, no matter what others said, he would not let go, and at the end he was furious, the red light in his right hand suddenly flashed, and punched him. Banging towards a boulder next to it, there was a loud bang, and the boulder was completely smashed into pieces by this punch, the momentum was astonishing!
"Stop talking nonsense! Get out if you don't want to do it!"

Jin Xiaokai didn't expect that Mi Zhugong had such a violent personality, and although the red light in his hand didn't know what it was, it looked amazingly powerful.Jin Bujie was suppressed by such a punch, so he had no choice but to look at Jin Xiaokai, expressing his helplessness with his eyes: "I'm sorry, it's not that I didn't try my best, but that this old guy is really hard to talk .”

Jin Xiaokai also returned a "understanding" look.

"Since this is the only way to do it, then...hey!" In the end, Jin Xiaokai had no choice but to agree to this unequal treaty.

"Jin Xiaokai works for Mi Zhugong for half a year. He has to do rough and heavy work without complaint. There must be no complaints, or get out!"

"Cheng Xue and Wei Xiaoyu have served as Mi Zhugong's apprentices for half a year, assisting him in his experiments, and if they make major mistakes during this period, they will be fucked!"

Mi Zhugong felt that Jin Bujie was really useless, so he drove him away without mercy.In desperation, Jin Bujie had no choice but to agree with Jin Xiaokai that he would come back to pick him up in half a year—presumably after half a year, the limelight of wanting Jin Xiaokai should have passed, and there should be no danger in walking outside at that time.

After reluctantly saying goodbye to Jin Bujie, the three of Jin Xiaokai finally began their half-year painful life.It's just that none of them expected what kind of ordeal they would encounter here.

*******************************************************************
"The first thing I want to introduce to you is what kind of person I am." This was the first sentence Mi Zhugong said when he brought Jin Xiaokai and the others into the stone tower.

The gate of the stone pagoda is extremely wide and heavy, nearly six or seven meters high, and two or three meters thick. It is made of a whole huge stone. When it is opened, it rumbles, making people think that there is thunder rolling inside—but such a huge stone gate, He was pushed away by Mi Zhugong with both hands!And judging from his appearance, he seemed to be very relaxed, and Jin Xiaokai and the three of them couldn't stop talking.

"This Mi Zhugong doesn't seem simple, try not to make him angry in the future." Jin Xiaokai saw that Mi Zhugong was so brave, and he already made a decision in his heart.It's just that I don't know where the strength of this thin and dry guy comes from.Jin Xiaokai secretly concentrated his eyesight, using his own ability to see through other people's strength values, a shocking number appeared in his right eye: eight thousand six hundred!
"It's scary! This old guy looks ugly, but his strength is really scary. I'm afraid he will break through the second stage of awakening and enter the third stage, right?"

After the stone door was opened, a desolate atmosphere rushed over.What appeared in front of everyone was a dilapidated hall overgrown with weeds. The ground originally paved with stone slabs seemed to have experienced several violent earthquakes, and several huge and deep gaps were cracked. Blow upwards.

Mi Zhugong's voice echoed in the hall, and it sounded very empty: "I am a person who likes to say what I say. If anyone has any opinions, then get out as soon as possible. But if you do what I say, then you will I found that, in fact, I’m a very easy-going person.”

There is a spiral staircase at the edge of the hall, and Mi Zhugong led several people up.

Mi Zhugong went on to introduce: "This location is an ancient relic that I discovered many years ago. You don't need to know the specific situation. I have always lived here, constantly excavating things in the relic, and Research on those things - in the next six months, you will assist me in this area of ​​work."

Jin Xiaokai understands that in the future, the work of excavation will probably be handed over to himself.

Follow the stairs to the second floor of the stone tower, it's like a huge science laboratory!There are test tubes, flasks and some inexplicable instruments everywhere, some of which are still burning and gasping, and it is not known what they are doing.There are colorful lights flowing slowly in some tubes, Jin Xiaokai thinks this place is simply a magic laboratory!
