Chapter 325: Confession of Crime

“Zhou Peng, you take the three of them back and teach them how to mine. You won't mine anymore today. "Shen Mang Xing looked at an old man with a sad face in the crowd and ordered..

After speaking, he turned around and left, without any intention of communicating with Zuo Qinghui and the others..

Seeing this situation, Zuo Qinghui was a little different, but the other monk prisoners under Shen Mang Xing seemed to have already seen it..

The old man Zhou Peng stepped forward and arched his hands to the three Qinghui on the left: "How do you call the Taoist friends?"？”

“Zuo Qinghui.”

“She Yu. "Behind Zuo Qinghui, a thin but black-faced woman said..

Among the three of them, the remaining young man who looked as if he had just passed fifteen with a tender face lowered his head and did not answer Zhou Peng's meaning..

However, Zuo Qinghui learned that this person's name was Xu Che when he just registered his name..

Seeing him like this, Zhou Peng didn't force him either, nodded and said, “It's not convenient to talk here, please follow me back to the dormitory..”

Zuo Qinghui and She Yuzi had nothing to do, and Xu Che followed silently..

It didn't take long for everyone to arrive at Zhou Peng's dormitory..

This is a low earthen room. When the door is opened, there is a room with a long table on the left and right. There are five seats next to the long table, and there are water bottles, cups and lamps on the table, all of which are a bit old..

Further inside are ten narrow bedrooms, five on the left and right, except for a bed, there is only a low table and a lamp..

As soon as they entered the house, everyone except Zhou Peng went back to their rooms. They all seemed to be the same as Shen Mang Xing, with no intention of communicating..

When Zuo Qinghui and the three of them saw such conditions in the house, they were all shocked..

Seeing this, Zhou Peng suddenly smiled bitterly.：

“Two Taoist friends, we are now both lower-level prisoners, and this kind of treatment is already good. In the early years, there was even only a big shop with a dirt bed. Some Taoist friends couldn't bear it. There was a lot of noise and many people died before they got the current treatment..”

Hearing this, Zuo Qinghui frowned and asked, "How long has Daoyou Zhou been here?"？”

“Counting it up, it should be almost seventeen years old. "Zhou Peng sighed..

“Seventeen years? After such a long time, didn't Fellow Zhou Daoyou ever think about running away? "She Yu asked.

“Why don't you want to, you're just bound by this neck ring, and you don't have a magic weapon next to you. Let alone dealing with the guards of the mine, I just escaped. Where should I go in the long yellow sand? Zhou Peng shook his head.

“In the past 17 years, I have seen a lot of Taoist friends. Some who recognize the reality, and some who are unwilling to be slaves, have disturbed one after another, and have experienced several riots, but in the end, I have never seen anyone really escape alive..”

At this moment, Xu Che, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked, “Is there really nothing you can do?" Can we only be mine slaves here for the rest of our lives?？”

“Don't blame me for not speaking well. Xiuxian Realm is originally a world of the law of the jungle. We were caught here. To put it bluntly, we are still inferior to others. It is a fluke to be able to leave a life. No matter what the prosperity of the world is, Xiuxian Avenue is just adding to our troubles. It's better to just be honest.If you go on doing it, Quandang's past is just a big dream. After all, it's better to die than to live. "Zhou Peng sighed and said.

His words were full of depression and twilight, Xu Che obviously couldn't listen, and immediately lowered his head again..

Seeing this situation, Zhou Peng sighed for a long time, and then changed his words: “If you don't want to be a mine slave, it's not that there is no way at all. We mine here, and we have an indicator every day. If we fail to complete the indicator, we will be punished. At the end of each month, we will conduct an evaluation. The person with the least amount of mining will also be punished, but in contrast, the person who mines the most will also be rewarded. If you can continue to mine for several months, you will be rewarded.After reaching the maximum total mining amount, you can get the opportunity to accept the slave seal and become a member of the Guiyuan Sect. After that, you can leave here. You only need to trick other monks into coming every month to gain temporary freedom..”

Hearing him say this, Zuo Qinghui and She Yu both frowned, while Xu Che raised his head angrily and shouted..

“You want me to harm people！”

“A few of them have already fallen to this point, so stop holding on to the pride of the past. In this shithole, you don't want to be a slave or harm others. What other choice can you have? Do you think I don't hate the person who deceived me in the first place, but even if I hate it, what's the use? Seventeen years later, among all the prisoners, I am not the oldest group, but I have some qualifications. If you really want to harm others, you won't be here to talk to you for a long time. You may think I am servile, but it's just because I have long recognized the facts. "Zhou Peng said with a wry smile helplessly”.

In Xu Che's resentful gaze, there was also a little more blankness. He opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, but in the end he lowered his head..

Seeing this situation, Zhou Peng said no more, turned around and took three magic weapons that looked like rakes, and put them in front of Zuo Qinghui and the three of them..

“This thing is a magic weapon for mining Yanlin ore. It can easily break through the sand and does not damage the ore. Now I will teach you the method of urging, you have to remember it well..”

With that said, he started teaching. Both Zuo Qinghui and She Yu listened carefully, but Xu Che kept his head down..

Zhou Peng didn't care about him anymore. After confirming that Zuo Qinghui and She Yu had both written down the magic tricks, he told them which rooms were empty and they could live on their own. Then he turned around and wanted to go back to his room to rest..

However, Zuo Qinghui stopped him at this moment: "Fellow Zhou Daoyou, wait a minute. I once had a good friend named Ulu who was from Southern Xinjiang. His whereabouts were unknown after participating in a mission that year. Maybe he was also caught here. I wonder if you have heard of it? Zhou Peng shook his head: “People from Southern Xinjiang are more able to endure hardship and are very popular here. Shen Mang Xing, who is in charge of us, is a dull temper and doesn't fight with others very much. Therefore, no Southern Xinjiang people have ever been to us. You may have to go to other lodging houses and ask, but now they should.”It's still in the mine, you have to wait for it to get dark before they come back, you can see it.”

Zuo Qinghui nodded, thanked Zhou Peng for telling him, and then picked a room to live in, as did She Yu..

Soon, Xu Che was the only one left in the room. He kept his head down and didn't know what he was thinking..

……

At the same time, in front of the four-story high-rise building.

The one-horned man looked up at the top of the high-rise building, was silent for a moment, took out a note, and before he could do anything, he saw that the restrictions in the building had spread out on their own..

Seeing this, the one-horned man put away the music note without saying a word, beckoned to Liao Zhong who was standing behind him, and then walked straight into the building..

Liao Zhong quickly caught up, followed by the one-horned man, and asked anxiously.：

“Friend Fang Daoyou, this time we have suffered a lot of losses. The red gold centipede was also taken away. I don't know if Elder Hai will blame me for this..”

The one-horned man didn't answer his head: “I will explain this to the elders myself, you don't have to say much. If you fail this time, the responsibility is not on you. You have contributed a lot to this sect before, but now you can't go back. It is excusable to want to officially join this sect..”

Hearing this, Liao Zhong squeezed out a smile, but the worry in his eyes was still there..

The two walked up the stairs and soon came to the pavilion at the top of the high-rise building..

On the edge of the pavilion, an eight-foot-tall, sturdy middle-aged man with his hands behind his back looked at everything in the mine. He didn't look back when he heard the movement of the one-horned man coming up..

“On this trip to capture slaves, the disciples were unfavorable. Only fourteen people were captured, and Elder Hai was also asked to punish them. ”The one-horned man knelt on one knee and lowered his head..

Behind him, Liao Zhong also knelt down in a hurry, lowered his head, and didn't dare to say a word..

“What is the reason for the defeat? "Elder Hai asked lightly..

“It was the disciples who were too careless. When they ambushed and rounded up the monks in Shacheng, they failed to expect that some of them were stronger than expected, causing them to break through the siege and flee. In the end, not only one person was captured, but the red gold centipede was also taken away by them. ”The one-horned man explained.

Hearing this, Elder Hai suddenly turned around and revealed his face..

His face is square, his eyebrows are pale, his blue eyes are as sharp as an eagle and a falcon, and there is a circle of light gray goatee around his mouth. He takes care of it carefully and doesn't look old..

Liao Zhong accidentally caught a glimpse of Elder Hai's appearance, but he didn't dare to look more, so he hurriedly lowered his head..

But Elder Hai didn't care about Liao Zhong, but frowned and looked at the one-horned man: “That red gold centipede is something I have cultivated for many years. It was only brought out by your guarantee, but now you tell me what the crime is to lose it.？”

“The disciple is willing to be punished. ”The one-horned man lowered his head and said.

Elder Hai was silent, staring at the one-horned man for a long time, then turned his gaze and glanced at Liao Zhong: "Who is this person behind you?"？”

The one-horned man immediately explained: “This person is Liao Zhong. He was originally the steward of the fallen sand City and contributed a lot to the sect. After this defeat, the moon steward of the fallen sand City knew his identity, so he wanted to completely join the sect and never return to the fallen sand City..”

After listening to the explanation of the one-horned man, Elder Hai didn't say much, but nodded slightly and uttered a single word lightly: "Okay..”

Hearing this, Liao Zhongru was pardoned and quickly kowtowed his head to thank him..

After that, Elder Hai stopped speaking, and the pavilion fell into a weird silence. Liao Zhong lay down on the ground, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead again, and in the end, the one-horned man took the lead in breaking the silence..

He turned his head and said to Liao Zhong: "All right, go find Senior Sister He, she will arrange the rest for you“.”

Liao Zhong hurriedly nodded and said yes. Seeing that Elder Hai had no objection, he immediately got up and left, and retreated from the building..

After he left, Elder Hai looked at the one-horned man deeply, waited for a while, and said helplessly when he saw the one-horned man without saying a word.：

“The crime of losing the red gold centipede is not small, you are really willing to be punished？”

“It all depends on the elders of the sea. ”The one-horned man still lowered his head.

“Alas, Fu'er, why are you so stubborn? Although the Chijin centipede is precious, it is nothing more than a monster after all. As long as you are willing to ask for a word, you can forgive you for your father, but why don't you refuse? Is it that after so many years, you still hate being a father?Is it? "Elder Hai sighed.
