Chapter 409 Mine

Mo Hua wanted to find out about the missing mine repairman, but he had to wait for Situ Fang to find out.

In the next three days, Mo Hua went to Nanyue City to look for Teacher Yan every day, but still had no clues.

On the contrary, Situ Fang got the news first.

Still in that 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 say anything, and even made a fuss, saying that the Tingsi and the Lu family were in cahoots and oppressed the innocent 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 knew they were scared, so they told the truth."

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

Situ Fang sighed:

"These missing miners disappeared because they wanted to steal the mines..."

"Steal the mines from the Lu family?"

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

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

Mo Hua understood, "Are they afraid that the Lu family would know about this and that the Lu family would not compensate them for the spiritual stones, so they dare not say it?"

"Yes."

Situ Fang was a little helpless.

I'm afraid that the Lu family will not only not compensate them for the spiritual stones, but also ask the families of these missing miners for compensation.

Because stealing mines is a taboo for miners.

The mines they stole were nominally from the Lu family.

"No wonder..." Mo Hua nodded.

That's why they were so unreasonable and unwilling to tell the truth.

Of course, part of the reason was that they saw that Situ Fang was soft-hearted, so they were a little bit more aggressive.

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

Situ Fang pondered, "I can keep the theft a secret... The most important thing now is to find these missing miners, whether they are dead or alive, and give them an explanation."

Situ Fang sighed, "And if these miners are really dead, we need to find a way to ask the Lu family for compensation, otherwise the families of these miners will not be able to survive without income."

Mo Hua also felt a little emotional and asked:

"Will the Lu family compensate?"

"I asked, and the Lu family said that unless the bodies of these miners are found in the mine, Head, otherwise they won't pay."

Mo Hua frowned, "Did the Lu family do this before?"

"Yes," Situ Fang nodded, "No body, no compensation of spirit stones."

She explained:

"It is indeed a bit inhumane for the Lu family to do this, but because there have been cases of miners faking death to cheat compensation before, it is not easy to blame them for anything."

Mo Hua thought for a while and asked again: "Then are there any clues about these missing miners?"

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

"I have marked the missing miners on the map, when they left, and from which hill they entered the mine."

Situ Fang sighed again:

"Originally, their families were reluctant to talk about these things, but now they are afraid, so they are talking about them."

"After all, once these things are told, the Lu family will have a handle."

"Even if these missing miners are dead, they died in vain, and their families will not get any compensation."

"Then we will investigate secretly and not let the Lu family know." Mo Hua whispered.

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

"I will investigate, not us. You are a child, why are you intervening in such things?"

Mo Hua's eyes turned and smiled:

"Sister Situ, you are so good to me, I also want to help you."

Situ Fang felt warm in her heart, and then she realized something was wrong, and looked at Mo Hua suspiciously:

"Really?"

"Really!" Mo Hua nodded seriously.

Situ Fang still refused:

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

Mo Hua said: "Three stakes for a fence, three helpers for a hero."

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

Situ Fang frowned.

The formation is indeed a problem...

There are indeed many formations in the mine. If you don't know the formations, it is easy to overlook some key places.

She herself knows a little about the formation, but not much, and she probably can't see the doorway inside.

Asking other formation masters doesn't seem to work either.

The Lu family in Nanyue City is the most powerful, and they are also on good terms with other formation masters. If she goes to the mine to find someone, no formation master will help her.

Although she doesn't know how good Mo Hua's formation is, Zhang Lan has praised it.

Zhang Lan was born in an aristocratic family and had a good vision. He praised the ink painting array for being well drawn, so the ink painting array should be really good...

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

"Okay, but you must pay attention to safety. The mine is very serious and you must not be careless."

"Sister Situ, don't worry."

Mo Hua nodded.

...

After the discussion, 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. The Lu family had no reason to refuse, and they did not dare to refuse.

However, the Lu family supervisor who was in charge of the mine did not look good.

So Situ Fang took Mo Hua and the other two, as well as an accompanying Lu family cultivator, into the mine.

This was Mo Hua's first time to enter the mine.

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

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

In the small wasteland state, the weather was hot, and the rocks were all scorching hot.

These miners, who were tanned black, had bare arms and bent waists, revealing the whip marks on their bodies. Under the supervision of the supervisor, they tried their best to mine the ore.

The mine here produced bluestone iron ore.

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

These miners need to dig for a day to earn a spirit stone.

If you are not a physical cultivator who refines your body, you can't do this job at all.

Even many physical cultivators who are strong and healthy 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 looked a little uncomfortable.

Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi also frowned when they saw it.

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 by 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 dismay.

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. You outsiders can't just do it casually..."

Bai Zisheng gave him a knife-like look.

The Lu family cultivator stopped talking abruptly 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 for strengthening the stone wall and preventing the mine from collapsing, but also for lighting, ventilation, and decontamination.

Mo Hua glanced at the formation and shook his head.

The formation on it is indeed extremely crude.

It only has a little reinforcement and a 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 sense to deduce it. He saw it clearly after a few glances.

Seeing through the formation, naturally mastering the layout of the mine.

The shaft can deceive people, but the formation can't.

At first, the Lu family cultivator led the way, and as they walked, Mo Hua walked in front.

The Lu family cultivator frowned.

This little cultivator, who was clearly here for the first time, how could he be more familiar with this place than he was?

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 cultivator 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, the ink painting stopped.

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

Then the array patterns flashed with a faint light and disappeared.

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

Situ Fang was slightly distracted.

The Lu family cultivator also looked pale.
