Chapter 409 Mine

Mo Hua wanted to find out about the disappearance of the mine repairman, but he had to wait for Situ Fang to ask clearly.

In the next three days, Mo Hua continued to look for Yan Jiaoxi in Nanyue City every day, but there was still no clue.

On the contrary, it was Situ Fang who had the news first.

Still in the small teahouse, Situ Fang invited Mo Hua to drink tea, and then said to Mo Hua:

"I went to ask the family of the missing mine repairman what happened, but they didn't tell me. Instead, they insisted that Daotingsi and the Lu family were colluding to oppress good people..."

"The Lu family?"

"The mine belongs to the Lu family."

"Oh." Mo Hua nodded.

Situ Fang continued: "I locked them up for a few days, and they realized they were scared, so they told the truth."

"What did they say?" Mo Hua asked curiously.

Situ Fang sighed:

"These missing mine repairmen disappeared because they were trying to steal the mines..."

"Stealing the Lu family's mines?"

"Yes." Situ Fang nodded, "It is said that before they disappeared, they told their families that they would get rich and no longer have to live a hard life."

"Then he went out at night and never came back..."

Mo Hua understood, "Are they afraid that the Lu family will know about this and the Lu family won't compensate them for their spiritual stones, so they don't dare to say anything?"

"Yes."

Situ Fang was a little helpless.

I'm afraid that the Lu family will not only refuse to compensate for the spiritual stones, but also seek compensation from the families of these missing mine repairmen.

Because stealing mines is a taboo for mine repairmen.

The mine they stole nominally belonged to the Lu family.

"No wonder..." Mo Hua nodded.

That's why they mess around and don't want to tell the truth.

Of course, part of the reason was that they saw that Situ Fang was soft-hearted, so they pushed a little further.

"Sister Situ, what are you going to do?" Mo Hua asked.

Situ Fang thought deeply: "I don't need to tell anyone about the mine theft... The most important thing now is to find a way to find these missing mine repairmen. No matter whether they are alive or dead, there must be an explanation."

Situ Fang sighed, "And if these mining cultivators really die, we need to find a way to ask for some compensation from the Lu family. Otherwise, the families of these mining cultivators will not be able to survive without their income."

Mo Hua also felt a little emotional and couldn't help but ask:

"Will the Lu family compensate?"

"I asked about it, and the Lu family said that unless the bodies of these mine repairmen are found in the mine, they will not pay compensation."

Mo Hua frowned, "Has the Lu family always done this before?"

"Yes," Situ Fang nodded, "If you don't see the body, you won't pay for the spiritual stone."

She further explained:

"It is indeed a bit unkind for the Lu family to do this, but because there has been a case where a mine repairman faked his death to get compensation, so it's hard to blame them."

Mo Hua thought for a moment and then asked: "Are there any clues about these missing mine repairmen?"

"Yes." Situ Fang took out a map and handed it to Mo Hua.

"These missing mine repairmen, when they left the door, and from which hill they entered the mine, I have marked them on the map."

Situ Fang sighed again:

"At first, their family members were unwilling to talk about these things, but now they know they are afraid, so they spoke out."

"After all, once these things are told and let the Lu family know, there will be a handle."

"Even if these missing mine repairmen died, they died in vain. Their families will not receive any compensation."

"Then let's investigate secretly without letting the Lu family know." Mo Hua whispered.

Situ Fang nodded, but halfway through, he suddenly realized and corrected:

"I'm checking, not us. Why are you, a little kid, interfering in such a thing?"

Mo Hua rolled his eyes and said with a smile:

"Sister Situ, you are so kind to me, and I want to help you too."

Situ Fang felt warm in her heart, and then she realized something was wrong and looked at the ink painting suspiciously:

"real?"

"Really!" Mo Hua nodded seriously.

Situ Fang still refused:

"No, this matter is a bit strange, I can't involve you."

Mo Hua said: "A fence has three stakes, and a hero has three gangs.

"I, my senior brother and senior sister will all help you. Besides, there are formations in the mine, and you may not be able to find them in some places..."

Situ Fang frowned.

Formation is indeed a problem...

There are indeed many formations in the mine. Without knowing the formations, it is easy to overlook some key points.

She knows a little about formations herself, but not much, so she probably can't figure out the way inside.

It doesn't seem possible to invite other formation masters.

The Lu family in Nanyue City is the most powerful and has good relations with other formation masters. She went to the mine to find someone, but no formation master would help her.

As for Mo Hua's formation, although she didn't know how good it was, Zhang Lan had praised it.

He was born in the Zhang Lan family and has a very good vision. He praised the ink painting formations for being good, so the ink painting formations should be really good...

Situ Fang hesitated for a long time before making up his mind:

"Okay, but you must pay attention to safety. It is very important in the mine and you must not be negligent."

"Sister Situ, don't worry."

Mo Hua nodded.

…

The discussion was completed two days later.

Situ Fang took Mo Hua, Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi to the Lu family's mine.

The mine repairman disappeared and the Daoting Division inspected it. The Lu family had no reason to refuse, and they did not dare to refuse.

It's just that the Lu family supervisor in charge of the mine didn't look good.

So Situ Fang took the three Mo Hua people and an accompanying Lu family monk into the mine.

This is the first time that Mo Hua has entered a mine.

Before, on the road, he only watched from a distance, only heard the clanging, feeling noisy and busy.

Now that he saw it up close, he realized the hardships of the mine cultivators.

In the Xiaohuangzhou realm, the weather is hot, and the rocks are all scorching hot.

These sunburned mine cultivators, with bare arms and bent waists, revealing the whip marks on their bodies, are trying their best to mine ore under the supervision of the supervisor.

The mine here produces bluestone iron ore.

This type of iron ore is cheap and hard, and it takes a lot of effort to dig it out.

These mine cultivators need to dig for a day to earn a spirit stone.

Those who are not body cultivators can't do this job at all.

Even many strong body cultivators may not be able to hold on.

This is just the outer mountain. If you go to the deep mine, it will be dark and damp, and full of foul air. It is not only hard, but also more dangerous. If you are not careful, you will lose your life.

Mo Hua felt uncomfortable.

Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi also frowned as they watched.

Bai Zisheng couldn't help but say to Mo Hua:

"These mining cultivators are too miserable..."

The Lu family cultivator who was accompanying him snorted coldly, "What do you mean miserable? People are of different ranks, but this is their fate, and they should do this."

"On the contrary, they should thank my Lu family. Without my Lu family, they would not be able to earn even this one spiritual stone after working hard for a day."

After that, the Lu family cultivator warned in a yin-yang tone:

"My little brother, please be careful when you are in my Lu family's mine."

Bai Zisheng glanced at him coldly, "I don't like the tone of your voice. If you talk to me like this again, I will knock your mouth crooked."

The Lu family cultivator was a little angry.

Bai Zisheng showed the spiritual power pressure of the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining.

The Lu family cultivator's face turned pale, and he had to shut up in anger.

Situ Fang next to him was also a little surprised.

This junior brother of Mo Hua looks only a few years older than Mo Hua, but I didn't expect his spiritual power to be so profound...

It seems that Mo Hua's master is indeed extraordinary.

Then his formation level is estimated to be not low.

"I hope he can see something and find the missing mine cultivators..."

Situ Fang said silently in his heart.

The few people walked around the outer mountain and asked a few mine cultivators. They didn't find anything, so they decided to go into the deep mine to have a look.

The Lu family cultivator said with a fake smile:

"You can enter the mine, but don't blame me for not reminding you. The mine is very dangerous. It's not something you outsiders can do casually..."

Bai Zisheng gave him a knife-like look.

The Lu family cultivator stopped talking and didn't dare to say anything else.

Then everyone entered the mine.

The so-called mine is the general term for the shafts, caves, and stone chambers inside the mine.

The inside of the mine is cold and damp, and the air is suffocating.

There are formations carved on the stone wall. Generally speaking, these formations are not only used to reinforce the stone wall and prevent the mine from collapsing, but also to provide lighting, ventilation, and decontamination.

Mo Hua glanced at the formation and shook his head.

The formation on it is indeed extremely crude.

It is only used for some reinforcement and weak lighting effect.

In this way, the outer stone wall is not solid, and the foul air inside is stagnant, which is indeed easy to cause accidents.

It seems that the Lu family does not care about the life and death of these mine cultivators.

"The life of a casual cultivator is not a life..."

Mo Hua sighed silently in his heart.

Several people walked along the mine, step by step.

As Mo Hua walked, he studied the formation and reconstructed the layout of the mine in his mind.

These formations are extremely crude.

Mo Hua saw through it at a glance, and he didn't even need to use his spiritual consciousness to calculate. He took a few glances and saw it clearly.

Seeing through the formation, he naturally mastered the layout of the mine.

The shaft will deceive people, but the formation will not.

At first, the Lu family monk led the way. As they walked, Mo Hua walked in front.

The Lu family monk frowned.

This little monk, it was obviously his first time here, how could he be more familiar with this place than him?

Situ Fang also looked suspicious and a little surprised.

Mo Hua led a few people and walked along the mine for a long time, but still found nothing.

The Lu family monk was a little impatient, "It's almost done, the mine is so big, no matter how hard you look, you still..."

Before he finished speaking, Mo Hua stopped.

He looked at the stone wall in front of him, his eyes fixed, took out the pen and ink, and outlined a few array patterns.

Then the array patterns flashed and disappeared.

The stone wall trembled, fell off, revealing a dark hole.

Situ Fang was slightly distracted.

The Lu family monk also looked pale.
