Chapter 184 Being Threatened
The night passed, and the morning light faded.
Wei Wenxin finished his training, stood up, and went out with Du Zhen. They arrived at the place where they had agreed to meet last night, and saw that Grandmaster Minglu and Grandmaster Qingxu had already arrived, as well as the venerable who had given them the gift yesterday.
In addition to him, there are eight Nascent Souls and two Spiritual Transformations, all of whom are managers of the mine.
Wei Wenxin paid his respects to Du Zhengang and then received a new task.
"What? Witness your oath? Or this kind of oath?"
Someone at the mine handed her a piece of paper. She took a quick glance at it and couldn't help but widen her eyes!
Because this oath is too vicious for monks!
Not only can they not ascend to heaven, but they also have no place to be buried after death. The most gentle ones are plagued by inner demons and bad luck. Anyone who has even the slightest guilty conscience would not even dare to open his mouth.
There are so many people here. What if someone doesn't want to swear and is beaten to death for treason?
Wei Wenxin felt unwell!
Du Zhen peeked at it secretly, and Wei Wenxin stuffed the oath into his arms.
Then he gasped and seemed to be even more shocked than her!
Seeing this, everyone smiled faintly.
I think they were like this back then, right?
He is easily startled and loses his temper over the slightest thing.
"Don't worry, it's okay. After all...you two have to swear this oath too."
As people who have all been through this, Taoist Qingxu can guess what she is thinking.
The words were meant to comfort people, but when they were spoken they carried a strong sense of gloating.
Wei Wenxin felt as uncomfortable as if his meridians were blocked, but he didn't know what to say.
"Okay, now all the people in the sect who are at the Nascent Soul stage and above are taking this oath, and it's not specifically targeting you and me. Let's get this done quickly, because we still have to set off to the next mine."
Seeing her inexperienced look, Minglu Daozun couldn't help but sigh.
Don’t you think about it? Once one has cultivated to the level of a spirit being, who wouldn’t want to ascend to heaven?
Who is really willing to die in the lower world without taking a look at the fairyland?
The person in charge of Flame Mountain encountered such a thing because he was careless and lacked strength, which gave the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of him. In the entire sect, this is an isolated case.
The inner sect elders, and even the supreme elders, are all old hands, and no one will touch matters that are truly capital crimes.
No matter how much they have embezzled from the sect, they can just make up for it. After all, no matter how severe the punishment is, it is impossible to execute them.
There is really no need to betray the sect.
Otherwise, even if you are lucky enough to ascend to heaven in the future, you will be strangled to death by the ancestors above.
Why bother?
It's just pruning a big tree.
In a sect as big as this, there are always areas that cannot be managed.
Over time, many sins will arise.
This kind of thing happens once every thousand years or so, and he has long been used to it.
Only these children take it as a big deal.
Wei Wenxin agreed embarrassedly.
Seeing that she had no experience, a nun with curly hair gave her some advice:
"Follow this content strictly, not a single word can be omitted or added, and you must see with your own eyes every pattern being created. We are a team now, and being responsible for others is also being responsible for yourself, because we will have to stamp our respective seals on this document and then hand it over to the sect for archiving. If anyone else commits a crime, we will also be implicated, do you understand?"
Wei Wenxin understood.
No wonder the Wanjian Sect has the best public security among the nine sects and eighteen schools.
I have to say, these dirty tricks are really effective.
Last night I was wondering what a clever solution the sect's leaders would come up with, but I didn't expect it to be like this.
Seeing that other people didn't seem surprised, I thought there must be precedent.
According to the sect's convention, in order to prove the validity of something, three people with unrelated interests need to be present.
Now that everyone was present, both sides quickly got the job done.
It looks like a child's game, but it's very effective.
He kept issuing oaths one after another. When it came to which one he didn't dare to issue, he was very frank and honestly stated what problems he had in that regard, and motioned Wei Wenxin to write it down.
As for what the punishment should be, it is governed by the sect’s rules.
"Isn't there anyone who cheats?"
When they set out on the road again, Du Zhen was still pestering Master Qingxu with questions.
Wei Wenxin has already taken out the information and started organizing it.
"It doesn't matter if you cheat! The sect will only lose some resources. We have a big family and a big business, so it's not surprising to have a few bad people. But if you do something and insist on saying you didn't do it, and swear an oath with a clear conscience, the law of heaven will not forgive you!"
Du Zhen let out a long "Oh" and said, "No wonder you didn't let your little disciple swear with you."
The young disciple was young and did not have sufficient understanding of the Way of Heaven. He thought that the Way of Heaven could be deceived. In the end, he discovered that his own path had long been ruined by the lies he had heard in his youth.
When you think about many things carefully, you will find that they are cruel but also full of warmth.
Perhaps this is the real reason why the Wanjian Sect, an iron-blooded and powerful sect, can stand firm in the world of cultivation.
Wei Wenxin felt that being born in the Wanjian Sect and growing up in the sect was a very lucky thing. The Wanjian Sect solved the problems within the sect in a straightforward manner and immediately turned its attention to those outsiders who dared to make trouble.
Once the internal thief is found, he will be sentenced according to the sect rules. If we encounter an external thief, it will be either you or me.
In this matter, the Wanjian Sect's approach received strong support from all forces.
Especially for evil cultivators, no matter where they flee to, the local people will provide them with convenient services.
What is evil cultivation?
According to the universal values of the world of immortal cultivation, those who massacre innocent people, offend the corpses of the dead, have no ethical morals... all cultivators who commit evil acts are counted.
No one pursues the one-on-one killing for treasure, because it is due to lack of strength and it is what you deserve.
But any decent force would not allow such a thing as bullying the weak and slaughtering other people's mines.
The Wanjian Sect launched an all-out attack and everyone fled.
The pursuers were soon gone.
I don't know when those tightly closed cabins were opened.
It's like no one has ever been there.
Wei Wenxin knew that her personal crisis was over for the time being.
The task of inspecting the mine has not been completed and it has to continue. I don’t know how long it will last.
Wei Wenxin has never been a person who just lies down and does nothing. No matter what the time is, she will always work hard to enrich herself.
Wei Wenxin finally had the opportunity to follow his great-grandmaster Minglu and watch him explore for spiritual mines up close. He was so enthusiastic about learning!
Taoist Minglu was not stingy with his advice on unimportant matters and would give her some pointers from time to time, but he never mentioned the key points once.
Wei Wenxin was smart and understood most of it just by looking at it. However, he was still confused and felt hesitant. When asked, he refused to tell her.
Knowing that these were the core heritage of their branch, he was not too disappointed.
But Wei Wenxin is a thick-skinned person. Even if there is no opportunity, he will create one to try. Now that the opportunity is right in front of him, there is no way he will just give up.
On this day, Wei Wenxin followed Minglu as usual and helped him. When he was done with his work, she started to talk to him in a high-pitched voice:
"Uncle Master, can you teach me how to find veins and prospect for minerals? If I learn it, with my mining skills, whenever I'm short of money, I'll go to the Wanfa Sect to look for minerals, and when I find them, I'll dig, and then I'll run away."
Just because of a cup of Wudao tea, after so many years, he still hates the Wanfa Sect so much.
I have to say, this person is really not that kind-hearted.
Ming Lu couldn't help but glance at her: "Which of my disciples do you like? Become my disciple, and I will teach you everything!"
If it weren't for the confusion of generations, it would not be a bad idea to just accept a disciple.
Ok.
Wei Wenxin licked her lips, blinked, and muttered softly:
"Then if I'm short of money in the future, I'll just steal their mines, dig them up and run away, and I don't have to look for them myself. Really, there are mines everywhere, why should I learn to be self-reliant?"
Ming Lu couldn't stand it anymore: "You want to move to Siguo Cliff! If you do that, can you be responsible if the two sects fight?"
Wei Wenxin had his own train of thought: "We Nascent Soul cultivators are not restricted by any region. If we go to other forces to train, any gains will belong to us personally..."
"But that's called stealing!"
"That's true. Oh, it would be great if I could find mines myself. If I find one that has no owner, that's a good opportunity."
"Isn't this easy? Come with me to the Boundless Sea. I know a lot of ownerless mineral veins."
However, we don’t have enough manpower to dig it back, and we are reluctant to give it to the sect for nothing.
"Forget it. My grandmaster is about to ascend to heaven. She must know a lot. She will definitely leave a few for me when the time comes."
Among all Mahayana cultivators, how many of them don’t know about the number of ownerless mineral veins?
Generally, people are reluctant to spit it out until before they ascend to heaven or pass away.
Wei Wenxin once suspected that a lot of the information they knew about the mineral veins might be overlapping, or even passed down from generation to generation.
However, mining in the boundless ocean is too difficult, so even if everyone knows about it, there is nothing they can do.
Thinking of this, Wei Wenxin slapped his thigh!
"It didn't cost much spiritual stones to repair the Cliff of Repentance, but the sect used this to offset my mining machine? This is not fair!"
So angry!
Countless old guys secretly took mining machines and went to the Boundless Sea to mine!
She has no part in any of this!
"The sect owes me a blessed land!!! You must give it to me! Otherwise, I won't bring it out when I have something new in the future!!"
Wei Wenxin pinched her thigh hard, and tears started to fall.
"The sect is sorry for me! They bullied me!!"
Ming Lu looked very uncomfortable. He gritted his teeth and slapped his thigh, "Don't you just want to learn how to find veins and minerals? Swear an oath not to teach it to others, and I will teach you!"
It would have been fine if he pretended to be ignorant before, but when someone pointed it out to his face, he still had to save his dignity!
Wei Wenxin immediately wiped away her tears and climbed up.
"I'm still young, and the blessed land is not that important. I can't let my master be despised by others and be said to be a freeloader for his apprentice. Come on, Uncle Master, will you start teaching me now?"
Compared to a small mining machine, this kind of skill that can be relied upon is the most important.
Because my kid can't eat spicy food, I often buy a kind of Northeast soybean paste. It tastes good, but it's not in bottles. Today, when I was cooking, it was almost gone. I squeezed the bag hard and accidentally touched the edge of the pot with the back of my hand, which burned a big red spot. Then I watched a video and saw a dog fell into the soybean paste jar of a Northeast aunt. The aunt was so angry that she cried. I felt so sympathetic, but my mind was full of "Soy sauce, soybean sauce, I didn't expect that you would have this day!" Oh, I felt really bad.
