After returning to the inn, Qingyao came back with a worried look on her face after sitting for a short while. It seemed that her plan to surrender was not going well. However, Li Mu did not care too much about it. The people in Black Wind City had been brainwashed too seriously. It was not easy to change their minds in a short period of time, and it would easily arouse their vigilance.
The most important thing is that he has just recruited more than 2,183 people through the Mad Dog Show. Now he has sufficient reserves for proving the truth, so there is no need to take the risk of touching the people in Black Wind City.
"Palace Master, I'm sorry to disappoint you. There is only one person willing to see you." Qingyao looked guilty.
"Huh? When?" Li Mu was surprised. He didn't expect that Qingyao would actually pull someone along.
"One month later, Pier 117." Qingyao said.
"Pier 117?" Li Mu wondered.
Qingyao then started to explain to Li Mu.
There are a total of 1,000 docks in the Black Wind City mine, leading to various areas of the mine. Pier 117 is one of them. The person who agreed to meet Li Mu was a miner in the mine. Strictly speaking, it was not Qingyao who found him, but he took the initiative to find Qingyao.
No one knew how he found out about Qingyao's deeds, but he asked someone to send a letter to Qingyao, expressing his desire to meet Li Mu.
The reason why the time is set at one month later is that the miners work in the mine for 100 years each time, and only after they have mined for 100 years are they allowed to come out of the mine to rest for two days. However, it does not mean that the miner has one month left to complete the 100 years. On the contrary, he has not come out for 3,000 years, and each time he can rest has been saved up. He can take a leave to rest at any time, but he needs to apply one month in advance.
After listening to Qingyao's story, Li Mu frowned and thought about it. He was weighing the pros and cons. Is this person trustworthy? After all, this is Heifeng's territory, and the miner is Heifeng's man. Was it Heifeng's signal or the miner's own initiative to see him?
"Do you know the person who delivered the letter?" Li Mu asked.
"I know him. He is also an old miner, and I am quite familiar with his sister." Qingyao explained.
"What kind of person is he?"
"That's not clear. After all, he has been working in the mine for many years and looks no different from other miners." Qingyao smiled bitterly.
"Take me to see him." Li Mu said.
"OK."
He then left the inn in a hurry, and when he appeared again, he was outside a dilapidated courtyard, which was a typical dormitory for the residents of Black Wind City.
Through Qingyao's communication, the gate of the courtyard opened and a woman dressed as a maid appeared at the door.
"Qingxue, this is the master of our Lingxiao Palace." Qingyao introduced.
The woman named Qingxue bowed to Li Mu and said, "Please follow me, my guest."
Qingxue's full name is Lin Qingxue, and the miner who delivered the letter is named Lin Xiangwen. Qingyao told Li Mu these on the way.
Following Lin Qingxue, the two entered the courtyard. A skinny monk was sitting in the courtyard meditating. This was Lin Xiangwen, the miner who delivered the letter. For him, after two hundred years of working day and night, he finally had two days of rest to adjust his condition. He dared not delay for a moment. If he could not adjust his condition within these two days, the next 100 years would be difficult.
When Li Mu and the other man came in, Lin Xiangwen opened his eyes and said to Li Mu, "Senior, feel free to ask me anything. I can spare five minutes to answer your questions."
"Brother, you guys talk, I have to go back to work, otherwise I will be fined again." Lin Qingxue said and left.
Lin Xiangwen shook his head slightly and sighed.
Li Mu narrowed his eyes slightly and inquired about this person carefully. Although this person's cultivation was only in the late stage of the God of Creation, he lacked the timid feeling of most Black Wind City cultivators. There was even a hint of unwillingness in his eyes.
"Who wants to see me and what is your relationship with him?" Li Mu asked.
"He is a senior in the mine and is highly respected by us in the mine." Lin Xiangwen said.
"Then why did he want to see me? How did he know me?"
"Some time ago, a few new people came to the mine, and your story came from them. As for why he wanted to see you, I don't know."
"A man who hasn't left the mine for three thousand years wants to come out to see me just based on some rumors? And you don't know the reason? You dare to help him deliver the letter without knowing the reason. What you said is a bit too far-fetched, isn't it?" Li Mu frowned.
Lin Xiangwen did not intend to explain Li Mu's suspicion. Instead, he said to Li Mu, "Sir, I really don't know what the senior wants to see you about. I am only responsible for delivering the message. Now the five minutes are almost up. Please give me a reply as soon as possible, so that I can go back and report back."
After a moment of silence, Li Mu took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I can see him."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiangwen nodded slightly at Li Mu, then closed his eyes again and began to meditate.
Qingyao frowned and was about to say something when Li Mu said calmly, "Let's go!"
Then he turned around and left the yard. Seeing this, Qingyao hurriedly followed him.
On the way, Li Mu asked Qingyao: "Qingyao, tell me what you think."
"Qingyao doesn't dare to make any assumptions."
"Just say what I ask you to say. Just say whatever you think."
Qingyao thought for a moment and said to Li Mu, "Palace Master, I think this matter is a little strange and it is not advisable to take risks. As for recruiting people, I will try my best to think of a solution."
Li Mu did not immediately reply to Qingyao after hearing this. Instead, he stroked his chin and thought about it. Then he asked, "How much do you know about the mine?"
"The mine is the most confidential place of the Black Wind Emperor. Ordinary citizens like us have no access to the information inside. If the miners are found discussing things inside the mine in private, it will be a serious crime." Qingyao explained.
Li Mu nodded slightly, and then said nothing more. They walked in silence along the way, and soon they arrived at the inn again.
Qingyao hesitated for a while and said to Li Mu: "Palace Master, there are two monks who were close to me in the past. I haven't visited them yet..."
"No need, don't worry about this matter for now. Recruiting people is not urgent at this moment."
"This... do you still see that miner master?"
"Haha, of course I have to meet him. Didn't I promise him?" Li Mu said with a smile.
After meeting the miner who delivered the letter this time, Li Mu became even more interested in the person who wanted to see him. Moreover, the mine was the core of Black Wind City and the location of the Chaos Beast. In the future, they would have to go in to capture the Chaos Beast. However, these foreign cultivators knew nothing about Black Wind City now. If they could really win that person over, it would be like placing a chess piece in the mine, allowing him to learn about the internal news in advance. Moreover, if it was true as the miner who delivered the letter said that the person was respected by many miners in the mine, then recruiting him might bring even greater gains.
