Another hour passed, and Wu Blame carried the jade to the place where Zong Bao rested.
He had already put two pieces of jade into his skin, and then had to give them up. The skin is very strong, it can completely hold two pieces of jade, and the weight of more than 100 catties is too heavy, not to mention that it is difficult to move, and it is difficult to move. He had to move the ants and come piece by piece.
Zongbao has changed from lying down to sitting, cultivating with peace of mind and not being moved by external objects.
Wu blame moved the two pieces of jade to one place, and was so tired that he was panting. Seeing Zong Bao meditating with his eyes closed, he couldn't help but ask: "Brother Zong, don't be busy working hard, I have something to ask for, if you complete the mining, can you leave Yujing in advance?"
He didn't want to stay in the jade well for a moment, he just wanted to get rid of the darkness and cold as soon as possible and see the light of day.
Zong Bao slowly breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he was collecting his work, and then blinked his eyes, and said curiously: "Why did you leave early?" He was afraid that he would be puzzled, so he said: "Yun Shengzi is enduring humiliation at that age, what are you for? It is a great opportunity to have spiritual soup to nourish one's body every morning, to have spiritual flesh to satisfy one's hunger, and to be able to cultivate in the jade well with rich spiritual energy......
As the saying goes, his Qiong Yao, my arsenic 0 frost. You have a chance, and I have become a trapped beast!
Facing the mottled jade light around him, as well as Zong Bao's young-looking, but slightly vicissitudes of life, he was speechless for a while.
Zong Bao still smiled understandingly, and said, "You have a spirit stone cultivation to get twice the result with half the effort, naturally you don't have to work hard in the jade well, hehe!" He took out a booklet and looked at it, and said: "Brother, there is no precedent for you to leave early." When the work is finished, ask the steward...... "The booklet in his hand was made of animal skins, and it was thin and had few pages. By the light of the pearl, it can be seen that there are the words "Immortal Dao Collection" on it.
No more questions, nodding knowingly.
Today, in front of everyone's eyes, the spirit stones, jade slips and talismans were searched, and the family background trembled, and he seemed to have suddenly become a rich man, which attracted everyone's attention. Regardless of whether those stones were worth or not, it can only be said that the monks were too poor.
In the evening, the disciples returned to the surface, and under the supervision of Xiang Rong and Gou Jun, each handed over a sufficient amount of jade, and then called it a day and returned to their residences. Among them, there are exceptions, Yun Shengzi is empty-handed, and said that the punishment he will accept is that there will be no soup to drink and no meat to eat tomorrow morning. For him, a centenarian, the weight of 100 catties of jade was a bit too heavy!
He handed over the jade without blame, and did not leave in a hurry, but asked the two stewards about the doubts in his heart. The other party glared at him in surprise, but still agreed that as long as the jade was mined enough, it was up to him to stay in the well or not.
Every morning and evening, it is the most beautiful time of Lingxia Mountain.
But seeing the clouds and light, the sky is sparse, and then there are peaks, and the colorful glow is moving, just like the picture scroll of heaven and earth and beautiful!
Wu Yi looked at the top of the mountain for a moment, and hurriedly walked down the mountain. At this time, although he was hungry, he was in a good mood. Ming'er doesn't have to work hard, just wait for the jade to be mined and then be alone. If you have free time, you might as well inquire about the news of Ziyan, and since she knows that her son is coming, why don't she show up to see her, so people are so concerned, hehe!
From the top of the mountain to the valley, a stone staircase of hundreds of feet winds down. The disciples followed it, and one by one the figures added a few different kinds of vividness to the Yujing Peak in this dusk.
Zong Bao took a few steps early and turned around and beckoned.
Blameless wanted to chase after him, but an old man stood in the way.
It was Yun Shengzi, the back of the green shirt was a little lonely, and the skin on his waist was also swaying back and forth. He noticed something, slowly stopped and moved aside, opened the wrinkles on his face and smiled: "Sure enough, he is young and carefree, which makes people envious and jealous......!"
Blameless grinned, passed by, and asked out loud, "Old man Yun, shouldn't you be begging for food every morning?"
Yun Shengzi replied casually: "People are old and frail, and it is only natural that they should be punished! In the twilight of life, who is not begging for food and drink." And what you are asking for is either the way of heaven, or it is fate!"
Blameless glanced back, only to see the old man smiling as before, but his heart sank slightly for no reason, and without thinking too much, he casually took out two pieces of meat in his skin bag and handed them over. The other party smiled even more, and sighed continuously: "Whenever I see my little junior brother, I think of my little grandson, the same filial piety, the same righteousness......
This old man is still awe-inspiring, and in a blink of an eye, the old state sprouts again!
Wu Yi turned around, and then heard Zong Bao laugh and said: "Old Yuntou, your grandson is not the age of the sixtieth year, and he should be half a hundred, how can he be compared with Wu Junior?"
Yun Shengzi said apologetically: "What you said is extremely true! My grandson died of illness and is long gone!"
Zong Bao shook his head and said: "This old man likes to take advantage of others, don't pay attention to him without a junior brother......" He and Wu Yi walked down the stairs side by side, and the two talked and laughed and walked through the valley to the place where they came.
When the hut appeared ahead, the people who were with them had dispersed.
Wu Yi was about to break up with Zong Bao, but the other party offered to take him to the front mountain where he was. He agreed, and put the bag back in the hut. And the moment he stepped into the shack, he couldn't help but lose his voice.
Zong Bao didn't know why, and then followed.
No blame took out the pearl and ran straight to the place where he lived. I saw that the bed was overturned, the fragments of the jar were everywhere, and several deep pits had been dug in the ground, and even worse, the whole shack could be seen everywhere in the mess.
Zong Bao said suddenly: "No junior brother, you have been stolen, have you lost it......" He said halfway, and stopped talking.
Wu Yi was stunned for a moment, then waved his hands and said bitterly: "My spirit stones, jade slips, and talismans are gone, who did this......
Zong Bao was still lucky, and then he became depressed, and sighed: "The so-called wealth is not exposed, and the ancients are honest and do not deceive me!" He pondered for a moment, and then calmed down: "Forget it, the right should be to destroy wealth and eliminate disasters!"
Blameless said categorically: "That can't be done, if you let it go, you won't have to let others knead it and swallow it in the future, I'll go to the Goqi steward to report it!" He said goodbye again, turned around and hurried out of the shack.
Zong Bao was inconvenient to stop him, so he was silent for a moment, shook his head helplessly, and said to himself: "Who did it, why do you need to ask more......
After leaving the shack without blame, Xu was in a panic, and went directly through the mountains and forests, but when he was gasping on the way, he looked up at a big tree beside him, and then walked all the way, looking very anxious.
By this time it was already twilight, and from a distance, the torches lit under the eaves of the row of houses were very bright.
But the work of the tea, without blame, has come to the front of the row house. He didn't hesitate, and went straight to the house where Gotch was. As he stepped up the stairs, the door opened, and Gotch appeared from it, and asked sharply, "What is the hurry?"
"Steward ......"
Wuyi retreated a few steps back, returned to the bottom of the steps, and when he bowed his hand, he glanced at it, but saw three more people walking out of the room. He didn't dare to ignore it, and then bowed: "I've seen the steward, the steward, the steward...... And the middle steward!"
It was really surprising that the four major stewards of Yujing Peak gathered in one room. And these four seemed to have expected the arrival of Wu Blame, and they all looked indifferent and unusually calm.
Blameless glanced at it, bowed his head and said: "After returning to the shack, the place is chaotic, and after checking, I will know that it has been stolen......;
Gooch didn't respond, but looked at the three companions beside him. The left and right looked slightly stunned and shook their heads. He folded his arms and put his chin in his hands, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "What have you lost?"
Without thinking about it, he blurted out: "A beast skin map and a jade slip, as well as four spirit stones, and two talismans." ”
Gochi said with a calm face: "I already know, go ......"
"The theft is still inconclusive, how can I recover the lost treasure?"
Gotch's expression became impatient: "You also point out the thief, or there is a judge!"
Blameless spread his hands and said aggrievedly: "I have been mining jade in the well all day, how can I testify against the thief?"
Before Ge Qi could say anything, Xiang Rong beside him sneered: "Since this is the case, why bother with it, and don't spoil our Yaxing, who is eating and drinking, get out of the ......"
Only then did he realize that there was a burst of aroma of wine and meat emanating from the house, not only secretly swallowed his saliva, but he refused to give up, and complained angrily: "I didn't expect that there was such a dirty thing in this Lingshan Immortal Gate. Heaven is dim, thieves are arrogant......"
Xiang Rong's face changed slightly, and he scolded angrily: "Nonsense! Yujing Feng has always been orderly, why did he steal?"
"Shut up!"
Goqi finally couldn't bear it anymore, and waved his hand to stop drinking: "No blame, since you have no evidence, you can't believe it, and if you dare to talk about it for half a sentence, don't blame me for driving you down the mountain." Even if the Xuanyu Dao Leader and Chang Xian Dao Leader are here, no one can be so presumptuous!" Xiang Rong hurriedly followed, as if whispering something. The remaining two stewards exchanged glances at each other, and their expressions were inexplicable.
In the open space in front of the house, there was only one person left who was not guilty, as if he had been abandoned, quite pitiful and helpless, but he looked around, and walked to the eaves in a hurry, stretched out his hand and pulled out a torch, and said as a matter of course: "The shack cannot be lived, I will move overnight!" The four stewards of the house ignored him, and swaggered away with his torches.
On the table in the room, there are barbecue meat and sake cups. The four stewards sitting around had different expressions.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I really didn't see that kid's things, and I won't leave any traces of my hands, it must have been done by the disciple who called it a day......"
"Senior brother, if you leave a few spirit stones, how can I ...... the talisman to send me?"
"Senior Brother Xiang, I don't want anything, I'm only interested in that jade jian......"
"Thinking about the friendship between you and me, you can't ...... to swallow the treasure alone"
"Don't look at me like that, I ...... I really didn't have ......."
