Today's Xianmen elegant pig slaughter

After smashing the gate of the Dayi Mine with a palm, Yunshang Xianzun, who obtained the result that "Nan Fuguang is fine and can sleep peacefully", temporarily left the Dayi Mine.

He left very decisively. Although he didn't show it on his face, Lu Sang felt that he was actually a little at a loss.
What’s new is that this word had nothing to do with Yunshang Xianzun in the past few hundred years.
And now, looking at the tall and straight back that seemed a little stiff, Lu Sang guessed that he left without hesitation, probably because he didn't know how to face his Taoist partner properly at this moment.

Nan Fuguang left the sect out of anger, and this "anger" was given to him by Yunshang Immortal Venerable himself.
In the current situation, it is not an exaggeration to say that "it's all our own fault".

When I returned to the tavern, I met the waiter again. Probably wanting to make up for his previous slip of the tongue, the waiter asked enthusiastically while arranging the rooms for me: "Excuse me, has the Immortal Venerable found the person you were looking for?"

Yan Jian raised his eyelids and glanced at the overly enthusiastic waiter. Lu Sang thought he would ignore her, but he actually replied, "Yes, I have found it."

The waiter was really lively. He glanced at the empty door of the tavern and said, "Oh, is she okay? If I've found her, why is there no one with her?"

Yan Ji'an replied: "I am fine, but I am sleeping for the time being and will not come back."

Lu Sang: "..."

Waiter: "Huh?"

Yan Ji'an: "I'm not sure, someone else passed the message on."

At this moment, even a waiter, who was a very insensitive mortal, felt that something was wrong. The bright smile on his face faded a little, and he hesitated for a long time without daring to ask who the "others" were... He lowered his head and started to work on the abacus faster. Unfortunately, before he could say "Turn left in front of the two Tianzi rooms and go upstairs, please hurry up", he heard a calm voice coming from above his head -

"The person who delivered the message was probably the 'lover' you mentioned earlier."

The person who spoke had such a calm tone that the waiter and Lu Sang were petrified.

It was not until he returned to the room and sat down on the bed that Lu Sang raised his hand to support the bedpost and found that his soul had not yet fully recovered from the horror of the previous moment.

……

Yan Ji'an certainly did not give up on asking for people from the Dayi Mine.

That night, he returned to the tavern with mixed feelings to rest for the night. The next day, he went to the Dayi Mine again.

The Immortal Master Yunshang has always lived in seclusion and rarely interacted with the secular people of the Three Realms and Six Paths. Even when he went out to travel, he mostly traveled alone in the mountains, rivers and seas. If communication was necessary, this would explain why he brought Lu Sang with him when he left the Yuntian Sect.
Everyone thinks that it is natural for the real dragon and the divine phoenix to be inseparable, but Lu Sang knows this clearly.
In this trip, she is most likely just a substitute.

So on the second day, when she was sent to negotiate with the guardian of the Dayi Mine, she didn't even have too many concerns or resistance.

The rest of the negotiation seemed to be done by her, about how to convince the Great Sun Mine to hand over the people they shouldn't have detained in a way that was comfortable for both parties.

Lu Sang was heatedly arguing about the theory that "You don't need this one person, and don't talk about contractual restrictions, which are set by humans and can be naturally untied by humans." At this time, Yunshang Tianzun, who was as steady as a mountain and sitting like a bronze bell behind her, suddenly stood up.

At this time, Lu Sang was almost crying because of the stubborn guardian of the Great Sun Mine. He turned around blankly and heard the latter say: "The star of life has fallen again."

Lu-san blinked in shock.

This isn't the first time this has happened either.

Sure enough, after one stick of incense, a miracle happened. Nan Fuguang's life star fell and then lit up again, as if they had just had a series of hallucinations before -
A person's star disk extinguishes and then lights up again, the zenith star hangs high again after falling, and the life star revives again after falling...
This kind of thing is not common even in the world of immortal cultivation.

Lu Sang didn't know what was going on until Yan Jian told her that Nan Fuguang had a time converter.

"Is this equivalent to a person having countless opportunities to start over, avoid wrong choices, and get back on the right path?"

"Not really." Yan Ji'an lowered his eyes and thought seriously, then said, "The time converter has a limited number of uses, and there aren't many left now."

These words were spoken in a calm and straightforward tone.

It seems too cold to use it on a future Taoist partner whose life star has just fallen.

Lu Sang was speechless.

Just as he was about to persuade Immortal Yunshang to take this matter more seriously and at least personally persuade this group of stubborn guardians, at this moment, the supervisor of the Dayi Mine fell from the sky.

He looked pale and had not yet recovered from the serious injury from Yan Ji'an's blow yesterday. This time, perhaps the appearance of Yunshang Xianzun made everything an exception. On the reset timeline, he obviously didn't know that Nan Fuguang had died again in his territory. He appeared only to tell Yan Ji'an the correct way to redeem the miners of the Dayi Mine -

That means the contract is signed one-on-one, and all you need to do is find a willing scapegoat.

Even if it is to go to a paradise, people will hesitate for a while due to the restriction of "never leaving", let alone a mine with nothing in it, which sounds like they will have to do hard labor for the rest of their lives?
You can’t find a lamb like this even with a lantern.
What the supervisor said sounded like an unfunny joke in order to avenge yesterday's defeat.

Lu Sang hesitated for a while, then turned to look at Yan Ji'an. Seeing that the latter remained silent, he thought that Yan Ji'an was embarrassed to speak again. So he advised him, "Master, how about forcing your way in?"

With the power of Yunshang Xianzun, it would not be difficult to level the entire mine and rescue a person.
What's more, Nan Fuguang had just died again, so Lu Sang naturally thought that he was planning this.

Duan Nan probably didn't expect that someone would try to force his way into the Sun Mine right in front of him. He looked her up and down as if he had just discovered Lu Sang's existence, pointed at her and said, "The Immortal Venerable is as old as the heaven and earth, knows the three realms, and knows the laws of the six paths... The Sun Mine's replacement rules are naturally within his knowledge, so isn't this person here to replace her?"

Lu Sang: "..."
Lu Sang: "?"

What? About my past life partner wanting to sacrifice me to save his current life partner?
Staring at Duan Nan, Lu Sang pointed at himself blankly, and in an instant, he saw countless melodramatic and familiar stories in his mind -
Bloody, physically and mentally abusive, by chance you accidentally end up in an extraordinary place to fight monsters and level up...
If she were to enter the Dayi Mine this time, she didn't know what kind of stories or accidents she would encounter. Just thinking about it made her heart tremble. She was only in the initial stage of foundation building. If the script started to follow the route of "killing monsters and upgrading by chance", with her current silent look in her sea of ​​​​qi, she might not be able to enjoy it.

Unfortunately, Yan Jian looked like the kind of person who would really sacrifice her.

At this point in this life, this man has become cold-hearted and is no longer the man who smiled at her under the Shatuo Likong Tree in the last life and hung the marriage sign on the tree with his own hands.

Lu Sang didn't know what her expression looked like at this moment. After leaving her identity as a divine phoenix, she was just an ordinary farm girl in this life. By chance, she saved Yunshang Xianzun who was seriously injured after the battle with Queen Mother of the West. From then on, she was able to escape from the mortal world and become a disciple of the immortal sect. She saw everything that she dared not even think about in the first half of her life -

She had resentment towards Yan Ji'an, but naturally she was also grateful to him.

She blamed him for clearing up their past life's friendship and severing it, leaving her alone to indulge in memories;
She was also grateful that he had saved her from the chaotic world in which demonized beasts and other living beings were devastated, and given her a place in the Yuntian Sect.

She can repay the favor.

She is not the ungrateful type.

Thinking of this, Lu Sang took a deep breath, and the little girl's fair face turned red. She dug her nails into her palms tightly, took a deep breath, held her head high and took a step forward: "Okay, I can--"

Before he could finish his words, his wrist was grasped by a pair of slightly cold, slender fingertips.

A force neither too strong nor too weak pulled her back, and she was easily brought back to where she was. While Lu Sang was stunned, she heard the calm voice of Yunshang Xianzun from above: "Only she can't do it."

Her eyes slowly widened in shock, and even though she knew that this emotion was wrong, she couldn't help but let ecstasy sweep over her heart. The tears that were about to burst out of her eyes blurred her vision, and she lowered her head to look at the slender fingertips that were holding her wrist.
"Master, it's okay. I believe if I replace my senior sister, you will still -"
Do whatever it takes to rescue me too.

"shut up."
Yan Ji'an said calmly, but didn't look at her.
"That's not the purpose of bringing you here."

Looking up at the sharp and angular jawline of the Immortal Venerable beside her, Lu Sang felt a bitter feeling in her heart. With such an answer, she felt mixed feelings of sadness and joy.
He did not abandon her.

"What about Senior Sister?"

"I have the same doubt."
Not far away, Duan Nan, the highest-ranking person in charge and supervisor of the Dayi Mine, asked curiously.
"The one inside, according to his self-introduction, is the Immortal Venerable who is about to form a Taoist partner? In order to uphold the laws of the Immortal Alliance, the Immortal Venerable is willing to abandon his Taoist partner's life and death?"

If Nan Fuguang was here, he would have praised Duan Nan for his innocent tone. Unfortunately, the target of the anger was none other than Yan Ji'an.

After a few moments of silence, he quietly let go of Lu Sang's wrist. The warmth on his wrist was still there, and the next moment, Lu Sang heard him say.

"There are eight time converters in total, and four are still available."

She could still wait for him.

She would definitely wait for him again.

……

At the same time, in the Dayi Mine, inside the mine.

"The Ninth Life of a Cat" takes them back to the beginning, to the entrance of the mine, to the moment when the butcher was about to hand a mining lamp to Nan Fuguang.

The two looked at each other in silence. Nan Fuguang knew that it was the butcher who touched the "Ninth Life of the Cat", so he asked him: "How did I die?"

The butcher stared at the bandage on Nan Fuguang's right eye, frowned for a rare moment, and showed an expression of wanting to say something but stopping himself. After a moment of silence, he touched the tip of his nose and said, "It doesn't look good. Let's not ask, okay?"

If you don’t ask, don’t ask.

Sensing the unusual movement here, the guardian at the gate turned his head and looked at her again. Just like last time, he recognized Nan Fuguang and He Ren, who were holding the miner's lamp and looking silent. He opened his mouth, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, and smiled with the same malicious smile.
"Go in. As a monk, you should quickly enter this mining area."

Nan Fuguang ignored him and dragged the butcher to a corner. At the cost of her own death, she almost figured out some of the conditions of the mine.

1: There is definitely something else in the mine, and it is a living thing with an eye brighter than the mining lamp.
Two: That thing is aggressive.
Three: That thing's aggressiveness, for some reason, only targets monks. This is also why there are almost no guardians the closer you get to the mine...
They are not too confident about the workers' self-discipline in the mining areas.
They knew very well what was in the mine and had no way to deal with it, so they didn't dare to come.
4: It is concluded from this that the ancestor in the cave is uncontrollable.

There are too many secrets in the Da Ri Mine.

The butcher folded his arms, lowered his head slightly and tilted his body towards Nan Fuguang, listening very attentively.

He paused after hearing this, and when he looked up again he was a little confused: "What about now?"

"I can't enter this mining area." Nan Fuguang frowned. "If I take the wrong road and encounter that thing again, I will die anyway without knowing what it is. I can't take this risk."

"Ok?"

"The mining area is set at three stones per person per day, and we are asked to find ways to complete this task."

"Uh-huh?"

"If I don't complete this, Duan Nan will probably take my life."

"Hmmmm? So?"

Nan Fuguang stuffed the creaking and shaking mining lamp in his hand into the butcher's hand and blinked, "So, thank you for your hard work. You are an old hand. It should be no problem for you to mine the six-stone mine by yourself, right?"

"..."
Holding the mining lamp that was forced upon him, the butcher remained silent.
After a while, he said leisurely, "Is this the result of your efforts? 'Try every possible means to enslave your partner'?"

Faced with the semi-sarcastic tone, Nan Fuguang adapted well.

Without even raising her head or paying any attention, she took out a two-sided mirror from her Qiankun bag and continued to stuff it into the butcher's pocket. Considering that he probably had never used this independently, she explained to the butcher how to open and use it.

"Once I figure out what's in the mines and figure out how to defeat it, I'll come back and do it myself - and I'll pay you back what you owe me."

"You should know that you have no credibility, right?"

"Nonsense, I am Nan Fuguang, the number one senior sister of the Yuntian Sect, and I keep my word!"

"The Yuntian Sect doesn't want you anymore."

"..."

"Your master doesn't want you anymore."

"..."

"He stood outside the door and wouldn't come in."

"..." Nan Fuguang asked, "Do you have to commit this crime?"

"Yes."

The butcher yawned, stretched himself, blinked away the tears that came out of his eyes from yawning, and stared at the broken miner's lamp in his hand in a daze.

After hearing no sound for a long time, he finally opened his eyelids and glanced at the person standing next to him with a gloomy face, a pouting mouth, like a sulky and stingy duck.

Very ugly.

The center of gravity of the standing posture is transferred from the left foot to the right foot, and the mining lamp is transferred from the right hand to the left hand.

"The limit is three days. You'd better hurry up."

The Miserly Duck's face turned from cloudy to sunny.
Oh.
He is a stingy duck who can change his expression in an instant.

……

After getting the butcher's promise, Nan Fuguang immediately turned around and walked out of the cave.

After taking two steps, she was stopped again. She stopped and turned around.

"You're going to find him?"

With his arms folded, the man leaned against the mine wall with a relaxed expression.

Nan Fuguang paused, wanting to deny it, but when the words came to his lips, he said, "I just want to know why he didn't come in. Yunshang Xianzun does not hold a position in the Immortal Alliance but has a special say. If he could just take a look at the real situation in the Big Sun Mine--"

The butcher smiled slightly.

Nan Fuguang asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." The butcher raised his lips slightly, as if mocking but also indifferent, and said calmly, "Go."
