Chapter 1191 Ghost Cave Master

It seems that Master Guixia doesn't want to take care of this matter. This road should be deadlocked. In desperation, Qingyang can only leave Guixia Cave, leaving Ge Dagen to figure out his own solution.

Qingyang didn't have a close relationship with Ge Dagen, but this incident was caused by him after all. It was really unjustifiable to ignore him, but Qingyang didn't intend to have a head-on confrontation with the real Guiyun. He planned to go and take a look first. In each case, you just act according to the situation and save as much as you can. If you can't save or you don't have the ability to save, then you can't blame yourself.

After leaving Guixia Cave, Qingyang did not return to Keqing Courtyard. Instead, he left Ghost Valley directly and headed towards the mine mentioned by Fang Liang. He had already inquired about the location before coming.

The mine is located in the same mountain range as Ghost Valley. The distance is very close, only more than 20,000 miles away. It is said that it used to be a large mine, which provided a large amount of resources for Ghost Valley. In its heyday, only the people employed by Ghost Valley There are thousands of monks who mine the caves.

However, after countless years of excessive mining, fewer and fewer resources were produced there, and the mine gradually declined. However, a small amount of resources are still produced every year, because the mine is relatively close to Ghost Valley, and Ghost Valley He was reluctant to give up the annual output of the mine, so he turned it into a place to punish disciples who made mistakes.

Ghost Valley is a super sect with hundreds of thousands of disciples. The larger the base, the more disciples who make mistakes. There are at least a hundred or ten disciples every year. After all, monks are different from ordinary people. Many punitive measures, such as imprisonment, are not applicable. For ordinary people, they will lose their freedom, but monks often stay in seclusion for more than ten years. Imprisonment cannot achieve the purpose of punishment at all.

Therefore, the Xiuxian sect punishes disciples who make ordinary mistakes and usually makes them do hard labor, which can not only achieve the purpose of corporal punishment, but also create benefits for the sect.

Although Ghost Valley is reluctant to part with the output in the mine, it is only a semi-abandoned mine after all, so the sect invests very little energy there. The conditions in the mine are extremely harsh, and people disappear in the mine for no reason every year. There are so many disciples in Ghost Valley.

It is said that less than half of the Ghost Valley disciples who were punished in the mine finally came back alive after the punishment was over. People like Ge Dagen, who had offended others, would definitely suffer even more there. Four years have passed. I really can't guarantee that Ge Dagen is still alive.

Thinking of this, Qingyang couldn't help but quicken his pace. After arriving at Ghost Valley, he made several friends with Ge Dagen. He really didn't want to see the other party get into trouble because of his own affairs.

The journey of more than 20,000 miles, for Qingyang now, is only four or five days. Qingyang drove the Yufeng Gourd and quickly reached the destination.

This is a continuous valley, the entire area is no less than a thousand miles in diameter. Looking down from the air, there are abandoned mines everywhere, so densely packed that you can’t see the edge at a glance. On the edge of the mines, there is a large stretch of dilapidated buildings. More than a dozen miles away, you can see from this how large this mine was in its heyday.

As soon as Qingyang approached this building, two foundation-building monks flew over with spiritual weapons, stood in front of Qingyang and said: "This is the forbidden area of ​​Ghost Valley, no one can stop here."

Qingyang raised his fists at the opponent, then threw his identity token over and said, "I am Qingyang, assistant pharmacist of the Ghost Valley Keqingyuan. I am here to handle some private matters."

Hearing that Qingyang was also from Ghost Valley, the expressions of the two foundation-building monks softened. Although Qingyang only had the identity of assistant pharmacist, he was a golden elixir monk after all, and he was not someone that a foundation-building monk could mess with casually. Check it out After Qingyang's identity token was confirmed to be correct, the two of them became more respectful and said, "It turns out to be Assistant Qingyang. It's a pleasure to meet you. What's the matter with you here?"

Qingyang said: "I have been in seclusion recently. After I came out, I learned that a friend committed a crime four years ago and was punished here. I wanted to find out how he is doing recently."

After listening to Qingyang's words, the foundation-building monk nodded and said: "So, according to the rules of Ghost Valley, disciples who commit crimes and are punished in the mines are allowed to be visited by their friends, but this matter requires the chief master who is resident here. Uncle approves, Deputy Qingyang, please come with us."

After finishing speaking, the two foundation-building monks led Qingyang towards a courtyard. Among the dilapidated buildings, this courtyard seemed slightly newer. The courtyard was very large, and it was subdivided into several small courtyards. The three of them arrived at a quiet small courtyard at the end, and met the uncle in charge who they had said was always here.

The master uncle in charge is called Gui Ku Zhenren, with a cultivation level of the seventh level of the Golden Core. After listening to the report of the two foundation-building monks, he looked at Qingyang and said: "I have regulations in the Ghost Valley. The disciples who are punished here every year Only one person is allowed to visit, and the time is no more than three months, and you will be searched when you enter and exit. I wonder if fellow Taoist Qingyang is willing to accept this condition? "

Qingyang understands these regulations. After all, this is not a good place. For the convenience of management, of course, outsiders are not allowed to visit without restraint. Once a year, no more than three months at a time, so as not to cause trouble if too many people come. As for body searches, It is also related to the situation here. If someone smuggles out the ore dug out by the punished person, wouldn’t the sect suffer losses?

These conditions are the rigid rules of the sect. If you can accept them, you can go in and see the person. If you can't accept them, you can only go back home. Qingyang put most of his good things in the Drunken Immortal Gourd. He only put some conventional things in the storage talisman on his body to cover up his tracks and not be afraid of being checked. So he nodded and said, "I can accept this condition."

"I wonder who Daoist Qingyang wants to visit?" asked the Ghost Cave Master.

Qingyang said: "I have a friend who is also a fairy cultivator. His name is Ge Dagen. He was punished here by the senior four years ago. I wonder which mine he is in now?"

Hearing Qingyang mention Ge Dagen, the Ghost Cave Master smiled meaningfully and said: "There are more than a thousand disciples in the entire Ghost Valley who were punished here. I may not know much about the others, but I have some impression of this Ge Dagen. I heard that he is well taken care of in this mine."

Qingyang's face turned cold and said: "What does this mean? Although Ge Dagen made a mistake, he is still a member of the Ghost Valley anyway. Could it be that someone is taking revenge on him?"

Ghost Cave Master said: "It's not a matter of revenge. We are all law enforcement officers sent by the Ghost Valley. At least we have to maintain fairness on the surface. It's just that the situation in the mine is too complicated. Many things that happen in the mine are beyond the control of those of us outside."
