Copper mine through the valley.

As soon as Fang Zhuo's figure appeared at the mouth of the valley, there were bursts of surprised shouts from inside. Then, several figures dressed in the costumes of outer disciples quickly greeted them.

"May I ask which senior brother of the sect is in front of you?" In the distance, a middle-aged monk shouted with his fists clenched.

Fang Zhuo knew that he needed to identify himself at this time, these outer disciples stationed here had the responsibility of protecting minerals, and it was inevitable to be on guard.

Holding the jade card in his hand high, Fang Zhuo smiled and said, "Fang Zhuo, a disciple of the Heavenly Rune Palace, has been appointed by the sect to disturb a few senior brothers. ”

"Heavenly Rune Hall disciple?"

"Why aren't you from the Temple of the Craftsman?"

The three people who greeted him slowed down, and there were already doubts in their expressions.

However, after inspecting Fang Zhuo's task jade plate and the identity jade card of the inner disciple, the three of them didn't say anything more. Now that Fang Zhuo's identity had been proven, as for why the sect sent a piece of garbage from the Heavenly Rune Hall instead of the Craftsman God Hall or the foreign affairs department's on-duty disciples, it was not something they could speculate.

"I'm sorry, it's our duty to wait, and I have to be cautious. "Return the two jade medals to Fang Zhuo, and the older one apologized repeatedly.

Fang Zhuo smiled and waved his hand. If he is guarding this place and a stranger comes, even if he is wearing the clothes of the sect, he needs to check it carefully to rest assured.

When the two young outer disciples saw that Fang Zhuo only had the strength of the fifth layer of the Qi cultivation period, their faces naturally showed a look of disappointment. And the middle-aged monk who had already cultivated the sixth level of Qi cultivation was very polite in his words, but the faint disdain in his eyes was still revealed.

Fang Zhuo didn't care about these either, and casually asked about the situation of the copper mine.

Although the three of them didn't value Fang Zhuo's strength, they didn't hide or make things difficult, and 1510 told them about what had happened recently. The tighter Fang Zhuo's brows furrowed, then He Zhan said very vaguely, just saying "accident" and "demon beast", without specific information. Listening to these three people one by one at this moment, it seems that the problem is not as simple as imagined.

There is a lot of copper produced in the Chuanxi Valley Copper Mine, and among them, white crystal copper and green grain copper are good materials for refining. Therefore, the disciples of the sect guarding here will always be no less than three, and there must be one of them with the best strength.

You must know that a pure sword cultivator like the one cultivated by the Bitter Sword Sect is always one or two small levels higher in strength and combat power than other cultivators. The middle-aged monk named Gu Chengshan in front of him, although he only had six levels of qi refining, was actually enough to top the previous monk of the seventh and eighth layers of qi refining. With such a level to protect the copper mine in the valley, it should not be much of a problem.

The most important thing is that this place is very close to the Bitter Sword Sect, and it can be said that it is within the range of the Bitter Sword Sect's potential.

A few months ago, there were many unusual landslides at the Piercing Valley copper mine. Several stationed disciples went down to look at it many times, but nothing unusual was found.

Later, several mine roads collapsed and blocked, which directly affected the progress of mining, which made Gu Chengshan and others annoyed. But they went down a few times, but still didn't find anything abnormal, so they could only urge the miners to work harder.

This continued to cause some trouble, and it lasted until a month ago. A month ago, at the end of one day, suddenly one of the miners did not come out on time. Everyone went into the mine to look around, but found nothing, and this person mysteriously disappeared.

This incident aroused Gu Chengshan's vigilance. So in the following days, the three monks took turns to follow the miners into the mine and constantly patrol around.

Then, another seven or eight days passed, and this time two miners disappeared at once.

Most of these miners were hired from Bitter Sword City, they did not cultivate their physique, but they were strong enough to engage in heavy physical work. Mining for the Bitter Sword Sect, the income is still very rich. But this frequent accident finally caused panic among the miners.

Finally, one day, several miners reported that they had found traces of monsters in the depths of the mine.

"What kind of demon beast is exactly, can they see it clearly?" Fang Zhuo asked.

"The monster is extremely fast, and the mine is very dark. The miners encountered it twice, but they didn't see it clearly. Gu Chengshan said: "Afterwards, we went down to check, and judging from the traces left by the demon beast, it should be some kind of rat with a large size." ”

"Rats?"

Rats are not very large, and this type of monster beast is usually timid, and rarely takes the initiative to attack humans.

"Yes, we brought a couple of miners who were proficient in hunting down to see it, and they thought so too. ”

"So, have you tracked it?"

"Naturally, it's tracking. Gu Chengshan said: "It's just that those traces eventually led to the old mine cave deep in the mine, and we didn't dare to trespass, so we asked the sect for help." ”

"Old Mine Cave?" Fang Zhuo didn't know.

Gu Chengshan explained, Fang Zhuo only knew about Lu Dao, it turned out that no one knew how many years this copper mine had existed in the Piercing Valley Copper Mine. When the Bitter Sword Sect discovered it, it was an abandoned mining area. Later, some people speculated that this may have been the mining area of the Golden Rune Gate at the earliest, but after the Golden Rune Gate was destroyed by the Bitter Sword Sect, this mining area was abandoned.

Due to the long time it had been abandoned, most of the mines had collapsed and were unusable, and it took a lot of effort for the Bitter Sword Sect to re-excavate them. Thankfully, it was a bonanza, so they redirected the excavation. And those old mine holes that will staggered from time to time have been abandoned or even blocked.

The old mine cave is very complex and huge, and I don't know how many years the Golden Rune Gate has been excavated here. The disciples of the Bitter Sword Sect who have always been stationed here often enter it with curiosity to explore. However, apart from a few who had lost their way in the mines, there were no special finds.

Due to the intricacies of the old mine caves, it is very easy to get lost after entering, so the most difficult sect ordered that no one should enter at will.

It is indeed a troublesome thing to get lost in the extremely deep underground, not to mention that you may encounter demon beasts at any time in this darkness. No wonder Gu Chengshan and the others wanted to ask the sect for help.

It's just that these three people didn't expect the sect to actually send a disciple who only practiced qi at the fifth level, or a Fu Xiu from the Heavenly Fu Palace! In the Sword Cultivation Sect, Fu Xiu's combat effectiveness can be said to be unprecedented, how could such a person be sent?

"It's getting late today, and I've had a hard time walking all the way. After listening to Gu Chengshan's story, Fang Zhuo didn't say anything, and directly asked to find a place to rest.

Regarding Fang Zhuo's reaction, the three of them were very disappointed. But they had no choice but to arrange food and lodging for Fang Zhuo and retreated.

"How could such a person be sent?"

The three people outside the door were drifting apart, but Fang Zhuo's keen ears still caught their voices.

"Maybe it's the disciple or descendant of a big guy in the sect who uses these tasks to add points to himself. "This is the voice of one of the young people.

"Don't gossip!" Gu Chengshan said: "Anyway, people are inner disciples. Let's see what he does. It's a big deal that we'll be careful to serve him for a few days, and let him be gone. ”

"But then our business ............. ”

"Things here have to be resolved sooner or later. If he doesn't succeed, the sect will send someone else again, what's the use of us being in a hurry?"
