Chapter 179 Then here comes the problem
The couple knelt in front of the stone slab and prayed sincerely to the flickering fragrance of grass.
Suddenly, a streak of flowing red appeared in front of him, and it was particularly bright against the faint light of the Wanjian Sect's mountain protection formation.
Wei Wenxin doesn't care about dressing up. Ever since her master gave her a set of high-end goods, she has been wearing them. As a result, rumors have spread that she loves red.
When the two saw the hem of the skirt, they immediately guessed it was her and their breathing stopped.
Their sight slowly moved upwards, and sure enough, they saw an extremely beautiful woman, looking at them with a smile on her face.
Fortunately, I was kneeling.
The two men trembled, but still kowtowed in a standard manner.
When he was dug out, he thought he was dead, but unexpectedly he managed to escape.
Now that I think about it, it must have been done on purpose by the senior sister.
The male cultivator had a slightly higher level of cultivation. As soon as he regained consciousness, he sensed that his wife was in the base. At that time, he didn't dare to bet whether the person who dug him out was a good person or a bad person. When he got the chance, he immediately slipped away.
When he slipped away, he didn't forget to take his wife with him.
When she found out he was still alive, the female cultivator followed him without hesitation. Only after they boarded the flying boat leaving the Flaming Mountain did she take out the necklace, saying it belonged to Wei Wenxin, the eldest senior sister of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and she had not had time to return it.
The male cultivator had something on his mind, and warned his wife not to speak or pass on any message. Only after he got off the flying boat and returned home, where he picked up the three children from the neighbor's house and tied them up one by one, did he hurriedly leave the market town and enter the forest. Only then did he dare to pass on any message to his wife about what he had encountered.
After hearing this, the female monk followed him without hesitation and hid with the child.
Unexpectedly, he was encountered by the magic sword of Wanjian Sect and was brought to this ravine.
At first, the couple were terrified and were still trembling while holding their child. Later, they found that the flying swords were just flying around them from time to time, not allowing them to leave the ravine. They immediately felt relieved.
The life of a low-level casual cultivator is not easy.
Both husband and wife are contradictory people who are both timid and adventurous. They were busy taking the baby away and had no time to exchange more information. When they had some free time, they found out that it was the eldest sister of the Wanjian Sect who saved him, and that the eldest sister also helped his wife a lot. The male cultivator's mind immediately became active.
Honestly speaking, the reputation of the eldest sister in Wanjian City is first-rate. They have been captured here, and any magic sword can chop them like leeks, but they were not touched. Maybe it was because of the eldest sister.
So the male cultivator came up with a crooked idea and directly worshipped Wei Wenxin.
High-level cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation have long lifespans, and are usually worshipped regardless of whether they are before or after death. Therefore, the two of them did this without worrying that Wei Wenxin would cause trouble for them if they found out.
On the contrary, now that they are under the protection of the Wanjian Sect, as long as they don't encounter the enemies of the eldest sister, they can live a better life with this trick.
As expected, they couldn't find any spiritual beasts around at the beginning, but after they started to worship the eldest senior sister, those thin-skinned and tender little cuties kept falling into their crude traps.
I did this at the beginning, perhaps just out of a keen desire to live a better life, but as time went on, I couldn't help feeling uneasy about accepting the kindness from my senior sister.
So the feeling of gratitude became even stronger.
In the end, perhaps people are always greedy, they began to make wishes, wanting to trouble the senior sister for all kinds of trivial matters...
Hiding in the mountains, unable to contact outsiders and carrying tremendous psychological pressure, they were able to keep their emotions together. To be honest, it was all thanks to the fact that they had three children.
When I saw Wei Wenxin appear, I couldn't hold it anymore!
"Once I dropped my pickaxe into the mine. I was afraid someone would pick it up, so I went down to get it overnight. I didn't expect to run into a group of strangers who were secretly mining. They were using a machine that caused a large area of the mine to collapse as soon as they dug. I was so scared that I immediately used the escape technique passed down from my ancestors to sneak back to the barracks."
The male cultivator told the details of what happened and burst into tears.
"Because I moved back and forth quickly, my companions thought I went to the toilet. The group of ore stealers below didn't dare to chase me openly, so I escaped."
Thinking back to what happened, the male cultivator still feels scared: "In order to prevent leaks, the mine management became increasingly strict. We were not even allowed to go to the mountain market where the miners spontaneously formed. After that, the mine collapsed one after another, killing many people. I realized something was wrong, and prepared a shelter under the mine early on. Sure enough, this day finally came."
His method is very simple. As long as he pretends to be dead quickly enough, others will think he is dead.
After all, given the geographical environment and the fact that they were doing something that would offend the gods, these people couldn't dig out the people and finish them off one by one. It was also a stroke of luck that he really survived.
"Your turtle breathing technique is quite advanced?"
The male cultivator immediately took out an old jade slip and presented it to the emperor: "This is what our ancestor got when he went to the secret realm to train. He was also an inner sect disciple of our sect, but he died early and there was no one in the family to inherit his talent, so he gradually declined."
Wei Wenxin politely declined.
I want to say that she is a sword cultivator, and sword cultivators will fight if they are not convinced. Either they kill others or they will be killed by others. It is impossible for them to pretend to be dead and leave their life and death to the conscience of strangers.
But I felt that this was a bit ironic, so I didn't say it out loud.
Seeing that she didn't want it, the couple felt a little helpless. They rubbed their hands and knelt there, not daring to get up.
It was not until the three children started crying one after another that the two of them rushed over, opened the protective shield, and held the children in their arms.
Wei Wenxin sighed and didn't take the necklace when she handed it back to him.
"This is not a place for people to live. You guys follow me first."
After saying that, the male cultivator directly took out the shuttle without any hesitation.
His shuttle was very simple, the most common type on the market, and it was unknown how many hands it had been bought.
The seat has been modified and has a protective belt that can hold the child tightly in place.
Upon seeing this, Wei Wenxin did not make any further fuss. He simply sent a message to his uncle, obtained permission, opened a small hole in the sect protection formation, and brought the family back.
The family was actually very scared, but they knew that it was her good intention, so they rushed in without hesitation.
Only when they started to move forward did Wei Wenxin transmit the message to his uncle to tell him about the situation, and then he brought the family back to Lingsi Peak.
"The children are all sleepy. You two should coax them to sleep first. Stay here and don't walk around. Got it?"
On the way, I asked the monk if he knew who the group of people who stole the black iron ore were, but he said he didn't know them.
Wei Wenxin didn't expect to get more information from him, and he took them in only for the sake of their lives.
After settling the people down and quietly instructing Ziyu and Ganlu to keep a close eye on this family, she hurried to the Law Enforcement Hall.
There is a large circle of interrogation rooms on the second floor of the White Tower with excellent sound insulation. Wei Wenxin didn't know how the interrogation was going, so when he saw Taoist Qingfeng, he told him everything he knew.
Strangers, driving mining machines, stealing minerals?
Only the Wanjian Sect can manufacture mining machines now, and each one has its own number.
Due to its remote geographical location and harsh environment, as well as the sect's limited production capacity, reforms have not yet been implemented in Huoyan Mountain. Logically, there are no mining machines here.
But the result appeared.
Either a mine equipped with mining machines was robbed, or the mine was robbed, or the team that went out to work was hijacked. There are only a few options.
Based on the time when the Huoyan Mountain black iron ore was stolen, it would be very easy to find out the details.
The next afternoon, the investigation results were placed on Taoist Qingfeng's desk.
"The mining machine was stolen at the end of last year, but it has not been reported yet?! How dare you!"
Wei Wenxin was not afraid of the trouble. He touched his chin and expressed a few of his own thoughts:
“Then the question is, the miners were fired and the mining machines were stolen, so how did they produce this year?”
Good morning, friends!
