Chapter 518 Watertight
The distance of five thousand miles is not big in the vast sea, but it is not small either.
In addition, along the way, Yu Changsheng and Wei Lao were not in a hurry to travel, but were very leisurely, so they came half-wandering and half-strolling.
In this way, it was already twenty days after arriving at Lingkuang Island.
In the past twenty days, perhaps because of the flag of the sea beast Tiandao, the road was calm and there was no mistake.
Finally, at noon on the twenty-first day, under the bright sunshine, the coastline of an island was exposed at the end of the sea level.
The island is not big, only a few hundred miles in range, standing abruptly above the sea. At a glance, there are sparse trees and no mountains. There are more hills, showing a gray and black color.
The rocks are jagged and randomly scattered around the island. Looking down from the sky, you can see that there are hills and Gobi on the island, and there is a faint cloud and mist lingering around the entire Lingkuang Island. These are the materialized spiritual energy.
In the hazy and blurred air, the entire Spirit Mine Island was full of shadows, not silent, going in and out of the mines that were flickering with fluorescent lights, and sometimes carrying out huge pieces of spiritual stone raw materials.
On both sides of the island, a layer of light curtains rose, turning into a formation that covered the entire island. The pattern unique to the Sea Beast Sky Island emerged on the light curtain, silently declaring the sovereignty of this island.
Therefore, although the level of the formation was not high, no one dared to be greedy. The spiritual mine directly under the Sea Beast Sky Island, no matter how much outsiders coveted it, at most they would just think about it in their hearts.
Across the formation, on both sides of each mine entrance, there were groups of monks holding swords and guns and wearing armor, guarding on both sides, ready to fight, with solemn expressions. The meaning of their existence was not only to protect the safety of this place and ensure the normal production of the spiritual mine, but also to play the role of supervisors.
There are not many buildings on Lingkuang Island. A whole row of them are obviously the accommodation for miners. At the end of them is the most luxurious and high-rise three-story attic, which is made of Lingyu bamboo. With the special formation, the spiritual energy here is the most concentrated.
This is where the managers of Lingkuang Island live.
"We're here."
As they approached Lingkuang Island, Yu Changsheng on the deck stretched his waist deeply, yawned, looked at Lingkuang Island, and said with a smile.
"Well, let's go up and take a look. People in their positions must seek their duties."
Old Wei nodded, stood up from the recliner, and drove the spiritual boat towards the shore. Not long after, the two of them got ashore.
On the shore, the light curtain of the formation rose up. After noticing the arrival of Yu Changsheng and Wei Lao, it gently probed towards the two people, and finally stretched out the two people to take out their identity tokens and press them on the light curtain. Suddenly, the light curtain of the formation rolled up waves, rippling gently, and let the two people in.
Yu Changsheng and Wei Lao stepped forward, and they crossed the formation and officially landed on the island.
On the other side of the formation, a man was waiting with a smile on his face. After seeing the figures of Yu Changsheng and Wei Lao, he walked over quickly, clasped his hands and bowed to the two of them, and said with a chuckle:
"You two are the new Elders Yu and Wei, right? I am Liu Yun, and I am very polite to meet you two fellow Taoists."
Yu Changsheng raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at them. He was wearing a dark robe with fluttering sleeves, embroidered with unknown spirit beast totems, and on the sleeves, gilded patterns surrounded like clouds. His face was slightly vicissitudes, and the fine lines at the corners of his eyes betrayed that he was not as young as he looked. His eyes were deep and restrained, and his eyebrows were slightly frowned, but he gave people a cunning look.
His hair was neatly combed, but it was mixed with a lot of silver hair. The straight nose and tightly pursed lips give people a serious and unsmiling feeling, and it is difficult to get along with him. However, when he saw Yu Changsheng and Wei Lao, he smiled, bent his upright posture at the right time, and spoke in a humble and courteous tone.
He is the manager of this Lingkuang Island, Liu Yun.
Hearing this, Yu Changsheng and Elder Wei looked at each other. Elder Wei smiled and said:
"Manager Liu, don't be so polite. You and I are both outer sect elders, and we are both serving the sect. I have troubled you all these years. You have lived alone in a remote place. The third elder couldn't bear it, so he sent us to help."
"Elder Wei is right," Liu Yun was stunned, then laughed and waved his hand, saying, "But it's far from hard work. It's all for the service of the Holy Land, so it doesn't exist."
"But you two have come all the way here to help me manage this mining area. It's really a waste of talent."
As Liu Yun said this, he looked at Yu Changsheng calmly, with a surprised look, as if he was surprised by Yu Changsheng's youth.
In his opinion, how could someone as old as Yu Changsheng be an outer sect elder? Shouldn't he still be an inner sect disciple?
Those inner disciples were so arrogant that they would not commit themselves to come to this remote place to control the spiritual mine. But Yu Changsheng was arranged like this...
For a moment, many guesses flashed in Liu Yun's mind, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he had an idea in his mind.
"Such a genius can become an outer sect elder. His cultivation must be purple mansion. This cannot be wrong. Such a genius was assigned to this remote place..."
"It seems that someone in the holy land squeezed him out..."
Liu Yun sneered in his heart. In just a moment, he guessed a lot, but on his face, he was still smiling. He couldn't see any clues. Instead, he turned slightly sideways, got out of the way, and walked beside the two of them. His attitude was He continued calmly:
"The two elders have just arrived. I have already settled in your residence. It is definitely one of the places with the richest spiritual energy on this spiritual mine island. In this way, the speed of your daily cultivation can be faster."
"Manager Liu, you are serious."
Yu Changsheng sighed and glanced at Liu Yun with surprise.
Liu Yun patted his chest, raised his eyebrows at the two of them, and laughed loudly: "From now on, we are all colleagues working together on the same island. This is what we should do. Come on, I have arranged a good drink at my residence." It’s a good dish for these two fellow Taoists to take a good rest.”
"Um……"
Mr. Wei pondered, finally nodded, and clasped his fists in a deep voice: "Just follow what you said, Manager Liu."
"Hey, thank you two fellow Taoists for being willing to give me such a generous noodle, Mr. Liu."
Liu Yun chuckled, with a smile on his face, seemingly very happy, and led the two of them towards the depths of the island.
The island is not big. After bypassing some abandoned mines, it didn't take long to reach Liu Yun's residence. This is the core of the entire Spirit Mine Island. Huge mines are abruptly lined up in the center of the island. At a glance , the mine is deep and huge, and despite the darkness, there are also faint fluorescent lights dotting it.
Looking from top to bottom, the huge mine looks like a soul-eating beast with a big mouth, which is breathtaking. The fluorescent lights in it are like dots of will-o'-the-wisps, but from it, some monks come and go intermittently, full of excitement. He came out exhausted carrying huge pieces of ore. After taking a short rest, he continued to move into it.
And the spiritual energy, which can be called fog, is continuously flowing out of the mine, and attracted by a certain force, flowing towards a group of buildings not far away.
There are three lofts, arranged side by side, with similar size and scale. They are all surrounded by formations. The loft in the middle is older and older than the lofts on both sides. The two lofts on both sides are as new as ever, obviously just built recently.
The middle building is Liu Yun's daily residence, and the two attics on both sides have obvious owners.
"Elder Yu and Elder Wei, those two buildings will be your daily living and training places in the future. They have all the necessary facilities and use the spirit gathering formation to gather the core spirit essence of the entire Spirit Mine Island. It will definitely make your practice more effective."
Liu Yun walked in front of the two of them, pointed to the attics on the left and right sides, turned back and said to Yu Changsheng and Mr. Wei with a smile.
Mr. Wei nodded lightly, and Yu Changsheng was slightly surprised in his heart, and took a deep look at Liu Yun calmly.
"Manager Liu has arranged everything carefully, but it doesn't have to be like this. We all live in the same place anyway. It doesn't matter where we are. Thank you for your hard work, Manager Liu."
Mr. Wei chuckled, and Yu Changsheng looked at Liu Yun and couldn't help but feel more pleasing to the eye.
Although the two of them were appointed, in terms of positions, they were both at the level of outer sect elders, just like Liu Yun. It didn't say who was bigger than whom.
The two of them had just arrived, but Liu Yun had already taken root in this Lingmine Island for a long time. His prestige was far beyond what Yu Changsheng and Mr. Wei could compare with, but the other party was able to be so humble and the arrangements were perfect.
This surprised Yu Changsheng and Mr. Wei, and they also had some other opinions about Liu Yun.
"This person, whether it's a face project, a superficial act, or whatever... he is at least a person who knows how to deal with things. He needs to pay attention to it."
Yu Changsheng muttered in his heart and suppressed other thoughts in his heart.
Liu Yun chuckled, glanced at the people coming in and out of the mine, then turned to the two of them and said:
"Let's go, please give two cents of thin noodles to the two elders. In Liu's attic, we have prepared fine wine and food to welcome the two elders."
"good."
Wei Laowei pondered and nodded.
………
………
Looking at the figures of the three people, at the entrance of the mine, a group of young monks who were struggling to move bricks lowered their heads and communicated in low voices, and there was a lot of discussion.
"It seems that the news is true. We have indeed arranged for two outer sect elders to come to our Spirit Mine Island to take charge of the island's affairs together."
Someone spoke in a low voice, exhaled a long breath, and silently wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"In this case, doesn't Liu Yun have two more people to check and balance him? In the future, on this island, he will no longer cover the sky with one hand and do whatever he wants?"
Someone's eyes lit up and he whispered with suppressed excitement.
"Bah, I'm afraid that the two elders who are still checking and balancing him are the same as Liu Yun. Seeing how close they were just now, I'm afraid they are just colluding with each other and oppressing us even more!"
Some people spat and spoke angrily, with a hint of resentment in their tone.
"If I had known that the task of collecting the spiritual mines was actually handled by Liu Yun, I would never come here. I would just work hard every day. From time to time, I would be oppressed by Liu Yun, a sanctimonious dog, and my salary would be deducted."
"Forget it, the key is that this bitch is worse than a beast that rides on horses. With a little power and cultivation in his hands, and being so high in the sky and far away from the emperor, he can even..."
Someone yelled angrily in a low voice, raised his eyebrows, and his tone was a little excited, and his voice couldn't help but get a little louder. The person next to him quickly covered his mouth and spat:
"Don't forget where we are. It doesn't matter if you complain. I don't want to kill you? If this accidentally gets to the ears of that bitch Liu Yun, someone will get the good news."
"snort!"
The man's tone was stagnant, and his face showed a hint of stiffness and anger that had not yet been completely eliminated, but he also pursed his lips and did not dare to say more.
"Keep on holding on, just live well for yourself first. It will only take three years. Once this task is completed, we can leave."
Someone sighed and said with a bitter smile, his tone full of bitterness.
"Three years... I'm afraid it will be even more difficult after these two elders come..."
Someone snorted coldly, with a tone of disdain but full of helplessness.
………
………
At the corner of the mine entrance, few people noticed, three figures covered in dust and covered in black, suddenly froze on the spot, looking at the direction in which Yu Changsheng and the others disappeared, looking at each other for a long time, until one of them took the lead to exit, The peace had just been broken.
"Did you just...see those two people? Those two new elders?"
Wu Xufei searched his eyes and exhaled a long breath. His gray face was full of surprise and disbelief.
"I saw it, it seemed like..."
Yang Ling swallowed his saliva, hesitated, and said after a while: "It seems to be fellow Taoist Yu Changsheng and his master, Mr. Wei... Isn't that our savior back then? Wanxiang Sect?"
"How is it possible? Why are they here? Could it be that I'm hallucinating? This place where birds don't shit is still the elder..."
Shi Huishan murmured in a low voice and remained silent for a long time. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and took a long breath.
The three of them looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
"It shouldn't be wrong. We have spent such a long time with them on a ship. It's just the two of them. Except for fellow Taoist Yu Changsheng, there is no such young True Lord of Zifu."
Shi Huishan once again murmured in a low voice as if talking to himself. After saying that, he smiled bitterly, his eyes flickered, and a brilliant light flashed past.
"It turns out that it was true that they said they did not go to Sea Beast Island to be disciples. They did not go to be disciples, but to manage the disciples. Now they have become elders, haha..."
"This world is so crazy!" (End of chapter)
