Chapter 356 Doing this delicate work is too hard on my back, and my female boss is throwing a tantru
After the message talisman flew away.
Mo Chengyue felt a little more at ease.
It wasn't because his master would come to his rescue immediately.
It's not because there's one more person in the world who knows he's still alive.
What are living people most afraid of?
I'm afraid of dying quietly.
In particular, those who died in the line of duty were ultimately registered as "normal wear and tear during temporary field work".
That would be a huge loss.
Leng Yuexin watched the streak of light disappear into the clouds.
"You certainly know how to find a backer."
Mo Chengyue immediately said, "Elder, you misunderstand. This disciple is merely maintaining the relationship between master and disciple."
Leng Yue thought to herself, "Your relationship with Yan Chenyu is maintained by asking if the wine tastes good?"
Mo Chengyue said, "Qingquanfeng expresses his emotions rather subtly."
Leng Yuexin looked at him indifferently.
Mo Chengyue added a sentence.
"Moreover, economic exchanges are relatively clear."
Xu Shan lowered his head and coughed.
Han Xiaoqiu couldn't help but ask Zhao Li in a low voice.
"Senior Brother Zhao, is this how it is on Qingquan Peak?"
Zhao Li said in a low voice, "Don't ask, the customs of the different peaks of the Hehuan Sect are very different."
Han Xiaoqiu nodded seriously.
"I've learned something new."
Leng Yuexin turned away.
"Walk."
Mo Chengyue was taken aback.
"Elder, are we really going to the next place?"
Leng Yue thought to herself, "Didn't you hear me clearly?"
Mo Chengyue said, "I heard you clearly."
Leng Yue thought to herself, "Then why even ask?"
Mo Chengyue said sincerely, "This disciple clings to a sliver of unrealistic hope."
Leng Yue thought to herself, "It's gone now."
Mo Chengyue sighed.
"Hopefully, this kind of thing isn't suitable to be taken out."
Seeing that Mo Chengyue's face was still somewhat pale, Xu Shan couldn't help but ask, "Elder, should we let Senior Brother Mo rest for a while?"
Leng Yuexin had not yet spoken.
Mo Chengyue looked at Xu Shan with emotion.
"Senior Brother Xu."
Xu Shan asked, "What?"
Mo Chengyue said, "Your words are just like the faint light of righteousness in the world."
Xu Shan: "..."
Leng Yuexin said coldly, "He only suffered a tremor in his meridians, he did not die."
Mo Chengyue said, "Elder's judgment is very accurate."
Leng Yue thought to herself, "If you wish to die, I can grant your wish."
Mo Chengyue immediately stood up straight.
"The disciple suddenly feels quite well."
Han Xiaoqiu whispered, "Senior Brother Mo recovered so quickly."
Zhao Li said in a low voice, "That's called the will to survive."
Han Xiaoqiu asked, "Can I learn it?"
Zhao Li remained silent for a moment.
"You have to meet a boss like Elder Leng first."
Han Xiaoqiu thought for a moment, then quickly shook her head.
"Then forget it."
The western branch has just stabilized.
But the fog over the mining ridge did not dissipate.
In the distance, nestled in the mountain valleys, faint beams of light could be seen flickering on and off.
Those were warning lights from the sealing formations in various places.
Under normal circumstances, the aura should be as steady as a lamp.
Now it's like a candle flickering in the wind.
Xu Shan's expression grew increasingly grim.
"Elder, there are also fluctuations in the North Third, South Sixth, and the abandoned well old vein areas."
Leng Yue thought to herself, "Which spot is closest to the fissure in the earth?"
Xu Shan immediately replied, "An abandoned well with an old vein."
Mo Chengyue's heart sank.
"Abandoned well?"
Xu Shan explained, "That was an abandoned branch of the Frost Crystal vein in the early years. It was sealed off after the spirit mine was depleted, leaving only an old array to prevent the cold air from flowing back in."
Mo Chengyue asked, "Is there someone guarding it on weekdays?"
Xu Shan hesitated for a moment.
"There is no dedicated person; they just patrol once every seven days."
Mo Chengyue remained silent.
Leng Yuexin looked at him.
"What comes to mind?"
Mo Chengyue said, "If I were the one to take action, I would also choose the abandoned well."
Han Xiaoqiu was puzzled.
Why?
Mo Chengyue said, "There are few people and the formation is old. If something goes wrong, we can blame it on years of disrepair."
Zhao Li's expression changed slightly.
"Moreover, the abandoned well is closest to the fissure between the earth and fire, so if it is blown up, the impact will be the greatest."
Mo Chengyue nodded.
"Junior Brother Zhao has a bright future."
Zhao Li gave a wry smile.
"I'd rather not have this future."
Leng Yue thought to herself, "Lead the way."
Xu Shan immediately took out a mining array diagram.
He tapped the diagram a few times, and a dark red path lit up the array.
"Taking the western path is the fastest, but it's close to the Dry Vine Valley, where the earth's energy is unstable."
Leng Yue thought to herself, "Let's go."
Mo Chengyue couldn't help but ask, "Is there a safer route?"
Xu Shan said, "Yes."
Mo Chengyue's eyes lit up.
Xu Shan said, "We'll take a detour for two hours."
The light in Mo Chengyue's eyes went out again.
"Never mind, I didn't ask."
The group hurried along the path on the west slope.
The road is getting narrower and narrower.
The mountain walls on both sides are towering, with gray-white vines growing in the crevices.
The vines had no leaves, and their bark resembled dry, cracked snake scales.
When the wind blows, it makes a slight friction sound.
Han Xiaoqiu rubbed her arms.
"Was this place always this eerie?"
Zhao Li said, "It used to be just wilderness."
Han Xiaoqiu asked, "And now?"
Zhao Li glanced ahead.
"It looks like someone deliberately staged this."
Mo Chengyue did not respond.
He was using the Yin-Yang Qi Observation Technique to observe his surroundings.
Amidst the gray vines, there was a faint scent of frost.
Very fine.
It's like someone sewed a few threads in the air with a needle.
These lines do not attack people.
It simply connects quietly to the direction of the abandoned well in the distance.
Mo Chengyue stopped in his tracks.
Leng Yuexin stopped almost simultaneously.
"Another problem?"
Mo Chengyue said, "The road ahead is not suitable."
Xu Shan was startled.
"Is there an ambush here?"
Mo Chengyue looked at the gray vines.
"It doesn't look like an ambush."
Han Xiaoqiu breathed a sigh of relief.
Mo Chengyue continued, "Like an alarm rope."
Han Xiaoqiu took her breath back.
Zhao Li immediately looked around.
"Have we already met?"
Mo Chengyue looked down at his feet.
A gray vine had somehow gotten around to the side of Xu Shan's boots.
It was only half an inch away from being stepped on and broken.
Xu Shan saw it too.
Cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead.
"When did this thing arrive?"
Mo Chengyue said, "It's not coming over."
Xu Shan asked, "What is that?"
Mo Chengyue said, "We're right up to its mouth."
Han Xiaoqiu's face turned green.
"Senior brother, can you please not speak so formally?"
Mo Chengyue said, "Images make it easier to understand."
Leng Yuexin raised her hand.
"Just kill him."
Mo Chengyue quickly said, "No."
Leng Yuexin looked at him.
Mo Chengyue explained, "These vines are connected to the trigger array over at the abandoned well."
"If we cut them off now, they'll know we're here."
Leng Yue thought to herself, "You think you can get around that?"
Mo Chengyue looked at the valley full of gray vines.
"able."
Han Xiaoqiu's spirits lifted.
Mo Chengyue said, "But it's quite hard on the back."
Han Xiaoqiu was stunned.
Zhao Li asked blankly, "What does 'fei yao' mean?"
Mo Chengyue took out a stack of talisman papers from his storage bag.
"It means you have to squat down to do delicate work."
Leng Yue thought to herself, "How long?"
Mo Chengyue said, "Half an incense stick's worth."
Leng Yue thought to herself, "A cup of tea."
Mo Chengyue remained silent.
Han Xiaoqiu whispered, "Is Elder Leng trying to bargain?"
Zhao Li said in a low voice, "It seems so."
Mo Chengyue sighed, "Elder, time is not a spirit stone; we can't bargain like that."
Leng Yue thought to herself, "You repaired the formation very quickly just now."
Mo Chengyue said, "That was forced upon us."
Leng Yue thought to herself, "It's the same now."
Mo Chengyue: "..."
well.
That's leadership.
Treat employees' limits as daily production capacity.
