Old Man's Begging Stick
Chapter 46
In fact, Leopard's limbs no longer hurt a long time ago, and he discovered that he can transform into a human form a few days ago.
To be honest, Leopard has complicated feelings for Wen Heng and his group. He once imagined that when his limbs recovered, he would immediately kill Wen Heng and his apprentice friends!
But in the past few days, he has never thought of this at all. He goes to the spirit beast garden with Gouzi every day to frighten those weak spirit beasts that want to play tricks on Gouzi.In the evening, he returned to the cave, watching the dog Chuyue and the others being tortured to death by Lian Wushang, weeping bitterly, he was very happy in his heart.
Following Wen Heng and the others all the way, Leopard's heart was not filled with resentment.He was also worried because of the sad levels he encountered on the way, and he was also happy because everyone left a piece of food for himself.
He originally wanted to keep this secret and wait for Wen Heng to come back, and then everyone could continue laughing and joking on the road again.He always felt that Wen Heng was stupid, and that no difficulties would trouble him. It wasn't until he saw this family letter that he realized that the man who looked stupid actually knew everything.
Leopard is indeed Wen Heng's least talked disciple.Wen Heng could talk to Chu Yue and Shen Rou for hours, even talking about the women's embroidery workers.Wen Heng can also be honest with Gouzi Zhuo Bufan, Gouzi and Zhuo Bufan will tell Wen Heng and Shao Ning straightforwardly if they have any needs.
Leopard had always felt that Wen Heng was very patient with their disciples, but with himself, Wen Heng never said a few words, and the conversation couldn't go on.But it's not Wen Heng's fault, it's Leopard's own fault.Because every time Wen Heng wanted to talk to the leopard, the leopard would choke on Wen Heng.
Because Leopard knew that even if he didn't give Wen Heng a good face, Wen Heng would still talk to him in a nice voice.Even if Leopard greeted Wen Heng's [-]th generation ancestor, Wen Heng would never take it seriously.Among the monsters and humans that Leopard had contacted before, no one had ever treated him like this.
Leopard sometimes thinks that this is because Wen Heng humiliated him, Wen Heng broke his leg!But Leopard thought carefully, if he wanted to humiliate someone, he would only use bad words and rough actions to make his life worse than death.
Leopard thought again, this must be Wen Heng's flattery, he must be guilty of himself, who made him break his leg!But... who would go out of their way to please an unreasonable leopard? It's not because they care
Wen Heng cared about Leopard. In his heart, Leopard was a rebellious disciple.Leopard also knew this very well, that's why he unscrupulously lost his temper at Wen Heng.Once in the clan, he had seen many cubs lose their temper at their parents. Those behaviors seemed childish to him, but he was doing the same thing now.
If he was really determined to fight Wen Heng, Leopard would have committed suicide when he realized that he couldn't fight Wen Heng.He didn't commit suicide, but he kept provoking Wen Heng's bottom line of patience.Actually... how is he different from those cubs who expect parental affection
Now Wen Heng said that he might die in the mine vein, he had already arranged a way out for Shen Rou and the others, but his own way out was not arranged.Leopard was actually very angry when he saw this.Why!Shen Rou and Gouzi are so weak, why did Wen Heng do this for them?
Why don't you arrange the way out for yourself? He was the one who forced himself to be his disciple, and now he is the one who wants to let go and give himself back his freedom!Leopard felt angry and anxious at that moment.This old villain, he didn't even say sorry to himself, there is no way to think about dying now!
The leopard turned into a human form in a fit of rage, he squeezed the letter paper and stared straight at the eyes: "The old man is too bad, I don't agree! He said if he wants me to be his apprentice, I will do it. If he says he doesn't want me, he really doesn't want me." It's beautiful!" Lian Wushang, who was calm and breezy, almost choked on a mouthful of water, he had seen awkward people before, and he hadn't seen many awkward people like leopards.
Leopard grinned and showed his bright teeth, he squinted his eyes: "Hey, I just won't let him do what he wants." Lian Wushang blinked, then he put down the teacup and said slowly: "Don't forget, you still have more than 1000 yuan on you. life."
Leopard didn't care: "Don't say how innocent they are, if you really wanted to take my life, you would have taken it long ago, and you wouldn't keep using this to blackmail me. Let me tell you, I'm Wen Heng's apprentice now, I'm out The whole sect will help me with this matter, you have the ability to make Wen Heng pay for those scumbags."
The leopard has learned to play tricks, it must be affected by being with the dog for a long time!Lian Wushang narrowed his eyes: "I still have to do the appearance." The leopard said disdainfully: "It's hypocrisy, it's because you are still a demon god."
The leopard is the ferocious beast that slaughtered the wolves of the Yuanling Realm. The leopard that has already transformed has already half-stepped out of its body.He slaughtered a race for a feather clan, even though Lian Wushang knew that leopards were justifiable, but as a demon god, he still had to put on a show.
"I, Wen Bao, have been Wen Heng's third disciple from today onwards, and it's useless to persuade anyone." After observing this period of time, Leopard didn't know that the relationship between Wen Heng and Lian Wushang was unusual. Lian Wushang was afraid that he would be the first to refuse.
Lian Wushang put down the teacup and looked at Wen Bao fixedly, as if surprised by Wen Bao's thick skin.After a while he sighed and said, "When your master was here, you didn't have a good word to say. Now that you have taken his surname, he must be very happy to know."
In fact, Wen Heng's surname was all taken from the old Wen Tou. In order to make himself appear different among many disciples, Baozi shamelessly added a surname to himself!
"Wen Heng... I mean my master, this state is not right, Hei Xinlian, you have to go and see him? If he really died in the mine, you will feel bad." Leopard suddenly realized that the word master said Exporting doesn't seem to be that difficult.
"Well, Wen Heng has always been very optimistic. I didn't expect to be so depressed as soon as he arrived at Lingkuang. Something must have happened that we don't know. I really need to go and see, but here..." Lian Wushang hesitated, if he I left, what if someone comes to trouble these young disciples?
The leopard volunteered and said: "Let me come, my cultivation base should be the highest one so far, and I will help them practice." So there was a dog named Shen Rou. scene.
Shen Rou and the others were slightly surprised by the addition of Kong Wu's powerful junior, and then happily accepted the existence of the leopard.Zhuo Bufan also took out his own wound medicine to the leopard, and a group of people were very concerned about this junior who came out.Surrounded by the leopards, they felt that the love of senior sisters and senior brothers was like the wings of the Yu clan, warm and warm.
Lian Wushang looked at Leopard and the others expressionlessly, he raised his hand to touch the flowing cloud-like long sleeve, in which lay the sixth letter from home from Wen Heng.Now he especially wants to know what happened to Wen Heng, what made Wen Heng, who was originally silly, optimistic and naive, become so depressed
Wen Heng has indeed encountered trouble, and it is still a big trouble.After flying in the sea of clouds for a whole month, the flying boat finally stopped on the shore of Guixu.
Guixu is the nearest berth to the Wuji Glacier, and it is currently a city shared by the Yuanling Realm and the Yuling Realm.When many major events happened, the powers of Yuling Realm and Yuanling Realm would come to the palace of Guixu to discuss.Guixu is surrounded by a huge enchantment, and the enchantment is like spring all the year round, and countless human cultivators and demon cultivators come and go in it.
Outside Guixu, it is surrounded by endless glaciers, and there are countless spiritual mines and ruins that have been developed or are yet to be developed in the depths of the vast snowfield.The spirit mine that I am going to go this time is among them. It is said that this spirit mine was discovered by several human and monster race experts who experienced in the Wuji Glacier, so the mining rights of this spirit mine are shared by everyone.
Crossing the glacier is not an easy task, not to mention the temperature tens of degrees below zero and the erratic climate of the Wuji Glacier, and the long cracks hidden under the snow layer can silently swallow countless lives.
Wen Heng and the others were not qualified to stay in Guixu. After they disembarked from the flying boat in Guixu, they were asked to walk to the Spirit Mine.Under the premise of being escorted by Da Neng, it will take at least two full days of walking to get there.
When Wen Heng got off the flying boat, he felt that his condition was very wrong. He felt that every bone and every muscle was stiff.He was very hungry, he ate up the food everyone prepared for him in the storage bag within a few days on the flying boat, and he also ate the Bigu Dan given by the Zongmen.But it was like eating two soybeans without stirring up any ripples.
He was so hungry that he even took a lot of Lingxi's pills.His face was pale, obviously hungry.Ling Xi was particularly worried, for fear that Wen Heng would fall on the way.But Wen Heng wasn't the only one like this. Many handymen, or ordinary people, got off the flying boat with pale faces.
There are also some handymen who failed to survive on the flying boat. It is said that it is because of the spiritual pressure difference between the Yuanling Realm and the Yuling Realm.Guixu belongs to the Yuanling Realm. On the way to Guixu, you have to pass through the Endless Sea and the Canglang Yunhai. The difference in spiritual pressure between them will make many monks uncomfortable, let alone delicate human beings.
Wen Heng and the others didn't stop for a long time after getting off the airship, and they were driven to the Spirit Mine.Yin Hongfei took the lead and stood in front of the servants and monks. He set up a transparent barrier, and each barrier can hold about 1000 people.The transparent barrier envelops the person like a huge bubble or a transparent pouch, slowly moving towards the spirit mine.
Yin Hongfei's enchantment was given priority to the Zongmen servants and allies. Because of the large number of people he was engulfing, he couldn't fly with the sword, so he could only walk step by step on the ground.Some impetuous casual cultivators have rushed out of the barrier of Guixu with their swords, and they turned into gorgeous streamers and disappeared in the snow outside the barrier of Guixu.
There are many flying boats on the shore, and many sects set up barriers like Yin Hongfei, and then lead the monks and handymen to the spirit mine step by step.At this time, you can see the difference between demon cultivators and human cultivators. The physical fitness of demon cultivators is obviously better than that of human cultivators. Demon cultivators hardly use this huge time-consuming and labor-intensive enchantment. A group of them rushed to the In the wind and snow, incomparably chic and wanton.
Ling Xiao gave the Wuji Immortal Sect [-] spirit stones and mixed them into Yin Hongfei's enchantment. Besides Yin Hongfei, several monks set up an enchantment to help transport the servants. There are too many servants and monks here. Already, there are more than a dozen barriers being set up in the Guangwuji Immortal Sect.
In this way, there are at least hundreds of thousands of people mining this time.This is an extremely huge number, at least the Yuling Realm has an overwhelming victory in terms of numbers!
Of course, this is of no use.As soon as he got out of the great enchantment of Guixu, Wen Heng felt that he became more stiff, and then he watched some weak handymen fall down.Once I fell down, I couldn't get up again.
The weather was so cold that those who fell curled up into a ball, and white frost soon formed on their faces and bodies, and finally froze into stiff stones.But no one came to help them, everyone was struggling hard, and they were powerless to manage others.
When a person fell, the people behind him bypassed him, leaving him forever on this icy land.No one spoke, and even though there were thousands of people walking around, only the sound of footsteps could be heard.
Wen Heng felt lonely like never before, his legs mechanically walked on the ice and snow, but he began to miss Lian Wushang and the others crazily.He misses his apprentices, his friends, the scooter, Xiaoyan Town... he misses those warm and beautiful times and old people in the past.
He couldn't stop, he was afraid that once he stopped, he would never have the courage to move on.
77
This is a desperate journey, every minute someone dies, but there is nothing to do.Wen Heng staggered forward in the ice and snow. If he hadn't held a begging stick in his hand, he would have fallen down long ago.
Unexpectedly, it was Ling Xi, the old man with a hunched back, when others thought he would fall down, he stood up tenaciously like a weed and continued to move forward.
Ling Xi and Wen Heng walked from left to right, Yin Hongfei's barrier isolated the raging wind and snow, but it couldn't isolate the bone-piercing chill.People's hair and beard were covered with icicles formed by the condensed breathing. Everyone was terrified and helpless, and no one had the extra energy to help others.
The weak people in the team gradually fell down, Wen Heng didn't understand why Wuji Xianzong was so cruel, and let mortals with no strength to restrain chickens come to this bitter cold place to mine.But seeing the barriers of other sects around him, he understood that all the cultivation sects did this.
This is also a two-way choice, and it's not that the cultivation sect forces these mortals to work as handymen.When Yin Hongfei took away the group of handymen, he said clearly that mining is not an easy task. Although the subsidy is higher than other handymen, the risk is huge.At that time, this group of handymen came here without hesitation for those subsidies.
Some people originally thought that Yin Hongfei had just exaggerated the difficulty, and it was only now that he was in a real dilemma.Some people looked calm, even if they died, their families would still receive a sum of spirit stones, enough to get through the most difficult times.
The latter is better, and they have already moved forward with the consciousness of going to death. They gritted their teeth and persisted all the way, and they might still be able to persist until they reached the Spirit Mine.But the former is not right. Some handymen on the flying boat could not bear to cry before, but they were suppressed by force.After walking for a long time, the tranquility of the team was broken when they saw an iceberg in front of them.
It is not clear which sect's handyman started to riot first, anyway, Wen Heng heard a loud noise, and when he looked around, the handyman in several enchantments around him became a mess.Some servants wanted to break through the monk's barrier, and some servants were fighting each other.I can't say why, but after seeing this group of handymen so crazy, the same situation also appeared in several sect enchantments that were walking quietly.
The barrier where Wen Heng and the others were located also started to commotion.
"It's not good, the camp is screaming!" Ling Xi dragged Wen Heng to the edge of the barrier without saying a word.Then he quickly hit the ground a few times, and Ling Xi punched a big hole in the hard ground that could accommodate two people.Ling Xi was extremely fast, he pulled Wen Heng and hid in the ice and snow cave.
Wen Heng and Ling Xi huddled in the cave, they heard chaotic footsteps and screams from above their heads.The air was filled with the smell of blood and howling. For some reason, the servants who were originally calm suddenly became hysterical.Even the companions who had no grudges around him began to attack.
Yin Hongfei let out an angry 'tsk', his voice was as cold as ice: "You want to die here." Someone in the handyman responded: "If you give it a try now, there may be a way out. I don't know how I died!"
Wen Heng asked Ling Xiao in a low voice: "What is Ying Xiao?" Ling Xi said: "It is not accurate to say that it is Ying Xiao, but when the handymen raised by your sect come out together, it is like an army of ordinary people. If people If you are in a state of tension or anxiety for a long time, or live in a place with a small space, once there is a small outbreak, such as someone crying...it will spread quickly, and people who are usually gentle will become irritable .”
Wen Heng nodded knowingly.They flew on the spaceship for more than a month, and were locked in a small room with only a small window and nothing for more than a month.No food, no company, no freedom to move around.After getting off the flying boat, they were rushed to the Spirit Mine non-stop. All they saw along the way were their fallen companions. Under such high pressure, many people's spirits were extremely tense.
Wen Heng breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, I was the one who came." If it was Gouzi who came, Gouzi's lively temperament would have been choked up long ago.Wen Heng was still a little thankful, but Ling Xi didn't give him a good look: "Yeah, fortunately, you should be thanking me, otherwise there would be chaos at the top, and you wouldn't know how you died!"
Wen Heng smiled and bowed his hands to Ling Xi: "Thank you." Ling Xi snorted a few times, and he said slowly: "Listen, these handymen are hopeless, as long as they do it, there is no way out."
Yin Hongfei sneered: "In this case, anyone who wants to give it a go will come out, and I will let you go free!" A handyman said loudly: "Even if you let us go in the ice and snow, we can't go back alive! Brothers! We Control this monk!"
Not only Ling Xi, but even Wen Heng are stunned. Is this person a fool? He probably doesn't know how powerful monks are. To be honest, it is Yin Hongfei's barrier that protects this group of handymen until now. Looking at them, without Yin Hongfei, a mortal body would not be able to survive the extreme cold!
Yin Hongfei smiled coldly, he didn't say anything, he just raised his hand.The handyman suddenly exclaimed, his body flew up uncontrollably.In addition to the handyman, the bodies of several instigating or waiting for revenge also flew into the air.
Yin Hongfei said: "Being protected by me, you still want to command me. You have no ambition but no corresponding strength. You idiot." As the barrier opened, the dozen or so people were thrown out of the barrier.There were only dozens of 'puff puff' sounds, and several people were smashed into a puddle of rotten meat on the spot.
A few of the dozen or so people didn't fall to their death on the spot, and I don't know whether it was luck or misfortune. The severe cold quickly attacked them. They wanted to open their mouths to beg for mercy, but the weak cry was quickly covered by the sound of wind and snow.The rest of the people were frozen into ice sculptures in front of everyone.
"Before I came here, I said that mining is not easy. Since you have become a servant of the sect, you should know that a servant should devote himself to the sect. Even if you die in the mine vein, as long as you do things for the sect, the sect will not I will treat your family members harshly. But if you want the benefits of the sect and don’t want to pay, there is nothing so good in the world.” Yin Hongfei’s voice was colder than the ice and snow outside the barrier.
"I'll give you one last chance. If you want to leave, I'll let you go now, but you will be responsible for the consequences regardless of life or death." Yin Hongfei coldly swept over the orderlies. Also injured.
Ling Xi and Wen Heng crawled out of the ice cave and sneaked into the crowd.The handymen looked blankly, the light in their eyes flickered, and finally everyone resigned to their fate.If you leave the enchantment, you will die. If you move forward, there may be a glimmer of life.
Yin Hongfei's barrier continued to set up again, and the large army began to move forward again, leaving dozens of corpses and blood frozen into ice crystals.
The following journey was very hard, and Wen Heng's boots finally got stuck in the ice and snow and failed.Ling Xi tore a pair of boots from the downed handyman by the side of the road and gave him a pair of boots. Wen Heng looked at the boots and hesitated to wear them.
Ling Xi scolded him directly: "You want to freeze to death here, but you don't want to eat human flesh. That person is dead, and it's useless to follow him with boots. You can still wear them to save your life! You want to be like them Frozen to death in the ice and snow, I don't understand you, where did you come up with so many weird ideas, I can't live anymore, and I still want to be a gentleman!"
Wen Heng still didn't want to wear it, one of his feet turned bruise from the ice.Ling Xi scolded angrily, then squatted down and pulled Wen Heng's feet: "Stupid! I've been in trouble for eight lifetimes when I met you. I expected you to help me, but I ended up being a troublemaker!"
The handymen walked past Wen Heng, seeing that Wen Heng and the others were about to automatically fall out of Yin Hongfei's barrier.Wen Heng gritted his teeth and put his feet in the shoes.The feet have lost all feeling, and Wen Heng didn't feel how warm the feet were.
"Hey, that's right. I picked up a lot of boots, and the things given by the sect were not enough. Experienced people picked up things from the beginning. You are such a stupid person, and you are stubborn." Ling Xi chattered Nagging, Wen Heng didn't say anything but wrapped his clothes tightly around his body.He looked up at the long wind and snow, and something shattered in his eyes.
After walking for two full days and two nights, when they finally arrived at the Spirit Mine, only half of the handymen survived.Everyone described themselves as being in a mess.
The Spirit Mine is located in several surrounding snow-capped mountains. You Da Neng has added a barrier to the Spirit Mine. There is a deep pit surrounded by the barrier, and there are dots of flames everywhere in the pit. If you look carefully, those flames There are caves in the back.Standing on the edge of the spiritual mine and looking around, the shock is so shocking that one's scalp tingles.
Yin Hongfei led the group of handymen straight to the position of the Wuji Immortal Sect.It's easy to recognize, each sect will mark the place where its sect is located.In the position of Wuji Xianzong, there is a picture of Taiji Pisces floating in the air, and besides that, there are hundreds of logos, large and small, floating in the air.
The bigger the logo, the bigger the position and the stronger the sect's strength.The Wuji Immortal Sect's logo is huge on Renxiu's side, and it is next to the Zhang family's camp. The Zhang family's logo is a purple five-petal flower, which is easy to recognize.
But even for the Wuji Immortal Sect and the Zhang Family, their logos are not worth mentioning compared to the Yaoxiu Sect in Yuanling Realm on the opposite side.There are a few logos on Yaoxiu's side that are particularly huge, especially the sect with the logo of a three-legged chicken, which is so golden that it is almost blinding people's eyes.
"I should go, I'm a casual cultivator, and I can't enter the mine veins of your sect." The old man Lingxi pointed to the land not occupied by the sect, where there were only sporadic lights shining.More caves don't even have lights. "I'm mining over there, and that's the site of casual cultivators. If you want to go find me, you can."
Wen Heng nodded gratefully to Ling Xi: "Thank you." If Ling Xi hadn't been there along the way, he might have died on the way.A smile broke out on Ling Xi's old bark-like face: "You're welcome, you have accompanied me all the way here as an old man."
Ling Xi stuffed a lamp in Wen Heng's hand: "This lamp can be used in the spirit mine, as long as you add spirit ore, it will light up and work well." Wen Heng was very grateful: "Thank you, Mr. Ling." Ling Xi waved Waving his hand: "The old man is getting old and useless. It's rare to meet a few people who are pleasing to the eye. I'm leaving. See you by fate."
As he spoke, he hunched his back and left the large team of handymen.Wen Heng looked at Ling Xi's leaving back in a daze for a while, he always felt that he could see Ling Xi again.
78
The ore veins excavated by the Promise Immortal Sect are huge, and the caves, which are not as big as a bowl from a distance, are astonishingly large when approached-even if five or six flying boats are parked at the entrance of the mine veins, they can stop.
Yin Hongfei raised his voice: "Rest at the same place for one night, and leave the mine tomorrow morning." As soon as the voice fell, many of the handymen collapsed on the spot. They can persist until now because of their perseverance.Immediately, some people burst into tears. They did not expect that the road to come would be so difficult.
Yin Hongfei and the monks who came out from the mine to respond nodded, and they were speechless after hearing the cry.I'm crying now and it's not time to cry yet.
The temperature in the barrier was much higher than outside, black soil was everywhere, and green grass even sprouted in some damp places.
Wen Heng found a rock, and half-lyed on the other side of the rock.He first put the begging stick beside the stone, and then kneaded his stiff arms and legs.After his body calmed down a little, he flipped through the storage bag, and he had already eaten all the food in the storage bag.
He flipped through the storage bag and took out a cute little round bird of Yuxue.With the sign that it can brighten the blind outside, Wen Heng began to write the sixth letter to Lian Wushang.This time he didn't write about what he saw along the way. He had thought a lot along the way, and it was time to make proper arrangements for his funeral.If he really deserved to die here, at least he should not leave any regrets.
After Wen Heng finished writing, the white jade bird swallowed Wen Heng's letter paper with one mouthful, then made a small 'chirp', and flew straight into the sky.Wen Heng watched the bird disappear with a smile, and then took out a stack of reply letters from the storage bag.
The replies were all from Lian Wushang, and he received Lian Wushang's reply the same night after the first letter was sent.Lian Wushang ruthlessly criticized his handwriting, saying that even dogs would not want to read his handwriting.The next reply time will be slow, it is estimated that the distance is long, and the time for the bird to fly is long.
Lian Wushang's handwriting is elegant and indifferent, very much like him.Wen Heng felt a little regretful. Maybe he shouldn't have been so Meng Lang in the letter just now. If he really died, that's all. If he didn't die, how should he face Wushang in the future?
Immediately Wen Heng smiled, he probably wasn't too tired, and still had some fantasies about it, first of all, he had to live.
Wen Heng read and read Lian Wushang's reply letter again and again, remembering the position of the punctuation in each letter clearly.Wushang said that Gouzi has already practiced Qi to the second level, and he and Chu Yue have made rapid progress recently; Wushang said that Ah Rou was transferred to the Lingcao Hall by the steward of Lingcao Garden to help; Standing up on crutches...
In the end, he folded the letter carefully, put it on his chest carefully, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, the handymen who had been trimmed were ready to go.Wen Heng queued up to receive a frame of unknown material, inside which was a tool with a wooden handle.One end of this tool is pointed, which should be convenient for digging, and the other end is long and flat, which should be easy to search for.
The handymen lined up and walked into the deep mine one by one. The mine became narrower and darker.The temperature is not bad, compared to the ice and snow above, the mine is considered warmer.
The leading monk repeated to the group of handymen as they walked: "Each person pays ten spirit stones or two thousand catties of spirit ore every day. If you pay enough spirit ore for [-] spirit stones, you can leave. If you don't pay enough spirit stones , it will be superimposed backwards, when you have paid enough, when will you go back. If someone dug up a rare mineral, after handing it over to the Zongmen, the Zongmen will give you a generous reward and let you leave early..."
Wen Heng lowered his head and made the calculations. If an ordinary handyman is lucky, he can dig up thousands of spirit stones a day and he will send them out.If you are unlucky, you can only use spirit ore instead. Two thousand catties of spirit ore is not a small number. Leaving aside the time of excavation and selection, it has to be transported back one after another.
With two thousand catties of spirit stones per day, it would take at least three years to make up [-] spirit stones.If something happens and it is too late to complete the task, then the return date will be postponed indefinitely.
"The frames for you, each frame can carry two hundred catties of spirit ore..." The lead handyman was very chatty.A lively handyman joked: "How many spirit stones can that basket hold?" The leading handyman immediately said, "Naturally, it can hold two hundred catties of spirit stones. I'll wait for you to tell me how many spirit stones it can hold." .""Hahaha……"
The originally dreary atmosphere turned into a bit warmer, and the eyes of the handymen were rekindled with anticipation.Some are for Lingshi, some are for going back as soon as possible.
Every few kilometers, there is a relatively large mine. There is a monk standing in front of the mine. From time to time, someone will come to the monk with a spirit stone or spirit ore on his back and put down the frame to register something.
"Each newly opened mine can accommodate 50 people to mine at the same time. If you mine enough, you can register with the brother in front of the mine. You can also use your own ore to replace daily necessities with him..." Zheng Zheng As they said that, everyone saw a disheveled handyman carrying half a box of Lingshi to change into a new set of clothes and a few bigu pills.
Wen Heng immediately understood the routine of Wuji Xianzong. The handyman has to live, even in the mine, he has to eat and drink. The sect is afraid that the handyman will hide the spirit stone privately, so he uses this method to make the handyman spit out the extra spirit stone .For example, the daily quota is ten spirit stones, and a set of clothes is worth five spirit stones...
Wen Heng felt that this trick...well...although it was shameless, it was useful.Only now did he understand the use of collecting boots and the like along the way, as expected of Old Jiang.Even if Ling Xi doesn't wear it himself, he can sell it to others. For example, when someone buys a pair of boots from Zongmen, they need two spirit stones, Ling Xi can sell one spirit stone.
Wen Heng felt that the door to a new world was opening before his eyes.
Wen Heng walked slowly, and some handymen along the road had already been assigned to the mine.When we got to Wen Heng's place, there were only a dozen people left.The leading handyman led them straight to a mine, where a monk with a round face stood in front of the mine.
"There are already 18 people in this mine, you go in and choose a direction to dig. Just be careful when digging, try not to dig with several people at the same time, it will easily collapse the mine tunnel." Round-faced monk Smiling and saying something that wasn't funny at all.
"By the way, is there anyone among you who can read and write?" Hearing this, Wen Heng and a scholar-like person stood up.The round-faced monk said: "I'm short of a bookkeeper, you two write a letter to see."
Wen Heng and the scholar wrote a word, and the round-faced monk looked at the writing written by Wen Heng on the ground in doubt: "This word...is written... I can't understand it..." Then the scholar was hired.Wen Heng touched his nose, causing good-natured laughter.
After tossing for a month, it can be counted as the real destination.After Wen Heng drilled into the mine, he found that except for a little bean-sized light at the entrance of the cave, the rest of the place was completely dark.Fortunately, Zongmen assigned them a small lantern with a white candle inside.By the way, white candles cost money to buy, and when they are used up, they need to spend fifty catties of spiritual ore to exchange them every day.By the way, ten catties of spiritual ore are needed to exchange flint for lighting candles.
But everyone is newcomer, Zongmen is very 'generous' to provide a full set of new products.Wen Heng followed everyone's example and lit the candles, everyone dispersed, Wen Heng stood still and turned around.Um……
He didn't know where to dig, he felt like an earthworm standing in the winding tunnel.The other handymen scattered in all directions, and voices could be faintly heard in the mine tunnel.Wen Heng felt that since he wanted to mine, he should dig places that no one else had dug.
Facing the thick soil layer, he put down the lantern and the basket, and put the begging stick in the basket.As soon as the hammer head went down, the mud and stones in the wall fell to the ground in a mess. Wen Heng squinted his eyes and looked around. They were all useless stones, not even spirit ores.
Wen Heng was very strong, and he dug a hole in the wall before long, and then he burrowed into the hole like an earthworm.At the beginning, we could still see the candlelight lit up in the cave where Wen Heng was located. Later, Wen Heng just digged and cleared the mine tunnel, and then the mine tunnel he dug out was blocked by falling earth and rocks.
"Hey, it looks like a novice at first glance..." The old handyman with a basket on his back looked at the covered mine hole on the mine road and sighed, "When you have suffered enough, you will know what to do." Said the old handyman quickly left.
In fact, Wen Heng is quite comfortable with things like mining. He has great strength, and he can smash a lot with a hammer.It didn't take long for him to dig out a shiny spirit stone.
Wen Heng held the spirit stone in both hands, feeling that it should be a gift package for beginners from the mine.He rubbed the spirit stone on his clothes carefully, and squinted his eyes for a long time under the dim light of the candle.This is the first time he has dug a spirit stone!so beautiful!
Before Wen Heng had time to look around, the spirit stone flickered twice in his hand, and then it turned into powder.Wen Heng:! ! ! !He forgot that he would absorb the aura in the spirit stone!
Wen Heng's heart ached unceasingly, but he felt that his already hungry and colic stomach hurt even more. This situation was like a very hungry person who ate something, and then his body couldn't help but want to eat more and more.
Wen Heng was stunned for a moment, he seemed to understand something.What his body needs may not be flesh and blood, but aura. All along, he has tried his best to suppress the instinct of his body. If what he needs is aura, does it prove that his body knows where there is aura better than his consciousness?
Wen Heng turned around, and he found that when he faced one direction, his body's sense of hunger would be stronger.He held up the tool and dug a few times in that direction, and he turned over a shiny spirit stone!
Wen Heng stretched out his fingers to touch the spirit stone, and with just one click, the spiritual energy in the spirit stone was absorbed by him.He felt like his stomach was going crazy and began to growl, but Wen Heng's eyes were bright.The candlelight burned out, and the entire mine cave was darkened. Wen Heng's eyes glowed red in the darkness, and he slowly touched his belly: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm in the spiritual mine, slowly
To be honest, Leopard has complicated feelings for Wen Heng and his group. He once imagined that when his limbs recovered, he would immediately kill Wen Heng and his apprentice friends!
But in the past few days, he has never thought of this at all. He goes to the spirit beast garden with Gouzi every day to frighten those weak spirit beasts that want to play tricks on Gouzi.In the evening, he returned to the cave, watching the dog Chuyue and the others being tortured to death by Lian Wushang, weeping bitterly, he was very happy in his heart.
Following Wen Heng and the others all the way, Leopard's heart was not filled with resentment.He was also worried because of the sad levels he encountered on the way, and he was also happy because everyone left a piece of food for himself.
He originally wanted to keep this secret and wait for Wen Heng to come back, and then everyone could continue laughing and joking on the road again.He always felt that Wen Heng was stupid, and that no difficulties would trouble him. It wasn't until he saw this family letter that he realized that the man who looked stupid actually knew everything.
Leopard is indeed Wen Heng's least talked disciple.Wen Heng could talk to Chu Yue and Shen Rou for hours, even talking about the women's embroidery workers.Wen Heng can also be honest with Gouzi Zhuo Bufan, Gouzi and Zhuo Bufan will tell Wen Heng and Shao Ning straightforwardly if they have any needs.
Leopard had always felt that Wen Heng was very patient with their disciples, but with himself, Wen Heng never said a few words, and the conversation couldn't go on.But it's not Wen Heng's fault, it's Leopard's own fault.Because every time Wen Heng wanted to talk to the leopard, the leopard would choke on Wen Heng.
Because Leopard knew that even if he didn't give Wen Heng a good face, Wen Heng would still talk to him in a nice voice.Even if Leopard greeted Wen Heng's [-]th generation ancestor, Wen Heng would never take it seriously.Among the monsters and humans that Leopard had contacted before, no one had ever treated him like this.
Leopard sometimes thinks that this is because Wen Heng humiliated him, Wen Heng broke his leg!But Leopard thought carefully, if he wanted to humiliate someone, he would only use bad words and rough actions to make his life worse than death.
Leopard thought again, this must be Wen Heng's flattery, he must be guilty of himself, who made him break his leg!But... who would go out of their way to please an unreasonable leopard? It's not because they care
Wen Heng cared about Leopard. In his heart, Leopard was a rebellious disciple.Leopard also knew this very well, that's why he unscrupulously lost his temper at Wen Heng.Once in the clan, he had seen many cubs lose their temper at their parents. Those behaviors seemed childish to him, but he was doing the same thing now.
If he was really determined to fight Wen Heng, Leopard would have committed suicide when he realized that he couldn't fight Wen Heng.He didn't commit suicide, but he kept provoking Wen Heng's bottom line of patience.Actually... how is he different from those cubs who expect parental affection
Now Wen Heng said that he might die in the mine vein, he had already arranged a way out for Shen Rou and the others, but his own way out was not arranged.Leopard was actually very angry when he saw this.Why!Shen Rou and Gouzi are so weak, why did Wen Heng do this for them?
Why don't you arrange the way out for yourself? He was the one who forced himself to be his disciple, and now he is the one who wants to let go and give himself back his freedom!Leopard felt angry and anxious at that moment.This old villain, he didn't even say sorry to himself, there is no way to think about dying now!
The leopard turned into a human form in a fit of rage, he squeezed the letter paper and stared straight at the eyes: "The old man is too bad, I don't agree! He said if he wants me to be his apprentice, I will do it. If he says he doesn't want me, he really doesn't want me." It's beautiful!" Lian Wushang, who was calm and breezy, almost choked on a mouthful of water, he had seen awkward people before, and he hadn't seen many awkward people like leopards.
Leopard grinned and showed his bright teeth, he squinted his eyes: "Hey, I just won't let him do what he wants." Lian Wushang blinked, then he put down the teacup and said slowly: "Don't forget, you still have more than 1000 yuan on you. life."
Leopard didn't care: "Don't say how innocent they are, if you really wanted to take my life, you would have taken it long ago, and you wouldn't keep using this to blackmail me. Let me tell you, I'm Wen Heng's apprentice now, I'm out The whole sect will help me with this matter, you have the ability to make Wen Heng pay for those scumbags."
The leopard has learned to play tricks, it must be affected by being with the dog for a long time!Lian Wushang narrowed his eyes: "I still have to do the appearance." The leopard said disdainfully: "It's hypocrisy, it's because you are still a demon god."
The leopard is the ferocious beast that slaughtered the wolves of the Yuanling Realm. The leopard that has already transformed has already half-stepped out of its body.He slaughtered a race for a feather clan, even though Lian Wushang knew that leopards were justifiable, but as a demon god, he still had to put on a show.
"I, Wen Bao, have been Wen Heng's third disciple from today onwards, and it's useless to persuade anyone." After observing this period of time, Leopard didn't know that the relationship between Wen Heng and Lian Wushang was unusual. Lian Wushang was afraid that he would be the first to refuse.
Lian Wushang put down the teacup and looked at Wen Bao fixedly, as if surprised by Wen Bao's thick skin.After a while he sighed and said, "When your master was here, you didn't have a good word to say. Now that you have taken his surname, he must be very happy to know."
In fact, Wen Heng's surname was all taken from the old Wen Tou. In order to make himself appear different among many disciples, Baozi shamelessly added a surname to himself!
"Wen Heng... I mean my master, this state is not right, Hei Xinlian, you have to go and see him? If he really died in the mine, you will feel bad." Leopard suddenly realized that the word master said Exporting doesn't seem to be that difficult.
"Well, Wen Heng has always been very optimistic. I didn't expect to be so depressed as soon as he arrived at Lingkuang. Something must have happened that we don't know. I really need to go and see, but here..." Lian Wushang hesitated, if he I left, what if someone comes to trouble these young disciples?
The leopard volunteered and said: "Let me come, my cultivation base should be the highest one so far, and I will help them practice." So there was a dog named Shen Rou. scene.
Shen Rou and the others were slightly surprised by the addition of Kong Wu's powerful junior, and then happily accepted the existence of the leopard.Zhuo Bufan also took out his own wound medicine to the leopard, and a group of people were very concerned about this junior who came out.Surrounded by the leopards, they felt that the love of senior sisters and senior brothers was like the wings of the Yu clan, warm and warm.
Lian Wushang looked at Leopard and the others expressionlessly, he raised his hand to touch the flowing cloud-like long sleeve, in which lay the sixth letter from home from Wen Heng.Now he especially wants to know what happened to Wen Heng, what made Wen Heng, who was originally silly, optimistic and naive, become so depressed
Wen Heng has indeed encountered trouble, and it is still a big trouble.After flying in the sea of clouds for a whole month, the flying boat finally stopped on the shore of Guixu.
Guixu is the nearest berth to the Wuji Glacier, and it is currently a city shared by the Yuanling Realm and the Yuling Realm.When many major events happened, the powers of Yuling Realm and Yuanling Realm would come to the palace of Guixu to discuss.Guixu is surrounded by a huge enchantment, and the enchantment is like spring all the year round, and countless human cultivators and demon cultivators come and go in it.
Outside Guixu, it is surrounded by endless glaciers, and there are countless spiritual mines and ruins that have been developed or are yet to be developed in the depths of the vast snowfield.The spirit mine that I am going to go this time is among them. It is said that this spirit mine was discovered by several human and monster race experts who experienced in the Wuji Glacier, so the mining rights of this spirit mine are shared by everyone.
Crossing the glacier is not an easy task, not to mention the temperature tens of degrees below zero and the erratic climate of the Wuji Glacier, and the long cracks hidden under the snow layer can silently swallow countless lives.
Wen Heng and the others were not qualified to stay in Guixu. After they disembarked from the flying boat in Guixu, they were asked to walk to the Spirit Mine.Under the premise of being escorted by Da Neng, it will take at least two full days of walking to get there.
When Wen Heng got off the flying boat, he felt that his condition was very wrong. He felt that every bone and every muscle was stiff.He was very hungry, he ate up the food everyone prepared for him in the storage bag within a few days on the flying boat, and he also ate the Bigu Dan given by the Zongmen.But it was like eating two soybeans without stirring up any ripples.
He was so hungry that he even took a lot of Lingxi's pills.His face was pale, obviously hungry.Ling Xi was particularly worried, for fear that Wen Heng would fall on the way.But Wen Heng wasn't the only one like this. Many handymen, or ordinary people, got off the flying boat with pale faces.
There are also some handymen who failed to survive on the flying boat. It is said that it is because of the spiritual pressure difference between the Yuanling Realm and the Yuling Realm.Guixu belongs to the Yuanling Realm. On the way to Guixu, you have to pass through the Endless Sea and the Canglang Yunhai. The difference in spiritual pressure between them will make many monks uncomfortable, let alone delicate human beings.
Wen Heng and the others didn't stop for a long time after getting off the airship, and they were driven to the Spirit Mine.Yin Hongfei took the lead and stood in front of the servants and monks. He set up a transparent barrier, and each barrier can hold about 1000 people.The transparent barrier envelops the person like a huge bubble or a transparent pouch, slowly moving towards the spirit mine.
Yin Hongfei's enchantment was given priority to the Zongmen servants and allies. Because of the large number of people he was engulfing, he couldn't fly with the sword, so he could only walk step by step on the ground.Some impetuous casual cultivators have rushed out of the barrier of Guixu with their swords, and they turned into gorgeous streamers and disappeared in the snow outside the barrier of Guixu.
There are many flying boats on the shore, and many sects set up barriers like Yin Hongfei, and then lead the monks and handymen to the spirit mine step by step.At this time, you can see the difference between demon cultivators and human cultivators. The physical fitness of demon cultivators is obviously better than that of human cultivators. Demon cultivators hardly use this huge time-consuming and labor-intensive enchantment. A group of them rushed to the In the wind and snow, incomparably chic and wanton.
Ling Xiao gave the Wuji Immortal Sect [-] spirit stones and mixed them into Yin Hongfei's enchantment. Besides Yin Hongfei, several monks set up an enchantment to help transport the servants. There are too many servants and monks here. Already, there are more than a dozen barriers being set up in the Guangwuji Immortal Sect.
In this way, there are at least hundreds of thousands of people mining this time.This is an extremely huge number, at least the Yuling Realm has an overwhelming victory in terms of numbers!
Of course, this is of no use.As soon as he got out of the great enchantment of Guixu, Wen Heng felt that he became more stiff, and then he watched some weak handymen fall down.Once I fell down, I couldn't get up again.
The weather was so cold that those who fell curled up into a ball, and white frost soon formed on their faces and bodies, and finally froze into stiff stones.But no one came to help them, everyone was struggling hard, and they were powerless to manage others.
When a person fell, the people behind him bypassed him, leaving him forever on this icy land.No one spoke, and even though there were thousands of people walking around, only the sound of footsteps could be heard.
Wen Heng felt lonely like never before, his legs mechanically walked on the ice and snow, but he began to miss Lian Wushang and the others crazily.He misses his apprentices, his friends, the scooter, Xiaoyan Town... he misses those warm and beautiful times and old people in the past.
He couldn't stop, he was afraid that once he stopped, he would never have the courage to move on.
77
This is a desperate journey, every minute someone dies, but there is nothing to do.Wen Heng staggered forward in the ice and snow. If he hadn't held a begging stick in his hand, he would have fallen down long ago.
Unexpectedly, it was Ling Xi, the old man with a hunched back, when others thought he would fall down, he stood up tenaciously like a weed and continued to move forward.
Ling Xi and Wen Heng walked from left to right, Yin Hongfei's barrier isolated the raging wind and snow, but it couldn't isolate the bone-piercing chill.People's hair and beard were covered with icicles formed by the condensed breathing. Everyone was terrified and helpless, and no one had the extra energy to help others.
The weak people in the team gradually fell down, Wen Heng didn't understand why Wuji Xianzong was so cruel, and let mortals with no strength to restrain chickens come to this bitter cold place to mine.But seeing the barriers of other sects around him, he understood that all the cultivation sects did this.
This is also a two-way choice, and it's not that the cultivation sect forces these mortals to work as handymen.When Yin Hongfei took away the group of handymen, he said clearly that mining is not an easy task. Although the subsidy is higher than other handymen, the risk is huge.At that time, this group of handymen came here without hesitation for those subsidies.
Some people originally thought that Yin Hongfei had just exaggerated the difficulty, and it was only now that he was in a real dilemma.Some people looked calm, even if they died, their families would still receive a sum of spirit stones, enough to get through the most difficult times.
The latter is better, and they have already moved forward with the consciousness of going to death. They gritted their teeth and persisted all the way, and they might still be able to persist until they reached the Spirit Mine.But the former is not right. Some handymen on the flying boat could not bear to cry before, but they were suppressed by force.After walking for a long time, the tranquility of the team was broken when they saw an iceberg in front of them.
It is not clear which sect's handyman started to riot first, anyway, Wen Heng heard a loud noise, and when he looked around, the handyman in several enchantments around him became a mess.Some servants wanted to break through the monk's barrier, and some servants were fighting each other.I can't say why, but after seeing this group of handymen so crazy, the same situation also appeared in several sect enchantments that were walking quietly.
The barrier where Wen Heng and the others were located also started to commotion.
"It's not good, the camp is screaming!" Ling Xi dragged Wen Heng to the edge of the barrier without saying a word.Then he quickly hit the ground a few times, and Ling Xi punched a big hole in the hard ground that could accommodate two people.Ling Xi was extremely fast, he pulled Wen Heng and hid in the ice and snow cave.
Wen Heng and Ling Xi huddled in the cave, they heard chaotic footsteps and screams from above their heads.The air was filled with the smell of blood and howling. For some reason, the servants who were originally calm suddenly became hysterical.Even the companions who had no grudges around him began to attack.
Yin Hongfei let out an angry 'tsk', his voice was as cold as ice: "You want to die here." Someone in the handyman responded: "If you give it a try now, there may be a way out. I don't know how I died!"
Wen Heng asked Ling Xiao in a low voice: "What is Ying Xiao?" Ling Xi said: "It is not accurate to say that it is Ying Xiao, but when the handymen raised by your sect come out together, it is like an army of ordinary people. If people If you are in a state of tension or anxiety for a long time, or live in a place with a small space, once there is a small outbreak, such as someone crying...it will spread quickly, and people who are usually gentle will become irritable .”
Wen Heng nodded knowingly.They flew on the spaceship for more than a month, and were locked in a small room with only a small window and nothing for more than a month.No food, no company, no freedom to move around.After getting off the flying boat, they were rushed to the Spirit Mine non-stop. All they saw along the way were their fallen companions. Under such high pressure, many people's spirits were extremely tense.
Wen Heng breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, I was the one who came." If it was Gouzi who came, Gouzi's lively temperament would have been choked up long ago.Wen Heng was still a little thankful, but Ling Xi didn't give him a good look: "Yeah, fortunately, you should be thanking me, otherwise there would be chaos at the top, and you wouldn't know how you died!"
Wen Heng smiled and bowed his hands to Ling Xi: "Thank you." Ling Xi snorted a few times, and he said slowly: "Listen, these handymen are hopeless, as long as they do it, there is no way out."
Yin Hongfei sneered: "In this case, anyone who wants to give it a go will come out, and I will let you go free!" A handyman said loudly: "Even if you let us go in the ice and snow, we can't go back alive! Brothers! We Control this monk!"
Not only Ling Xi, but even Wen Heng are stunned. Is this person a fool? He probably doesn't know how powerful monks are. To be honest, it is Yin Hongfei's barrier that protects this group of handymen until now. Looking at them, without Yin Hongfei, a mortal body would not be able to survive the extreme cold!
Yin Hongfei smiled coldly, he didn't say anything, he just raised his hand.The handyman suddenly exclaimed, his body flew up uncontrollably.In addition to the handyman, the bodies of several instigating or waiting for revenge also flew into the air.
Yin Hongfei said: "Being protected by me, you still want to command me. You have no ambition but no corresponding strength. You idiot." As the barrier opened, the dozen or so people were thrown out of the barrier.There were only dozens of 'puff puff' sounds, and several people were smashed into a puddle of rotten meat on the spot.
A few of the dozen or so people didn't fall to their death on the spot, and I don't know whether it was luck or misfortune. The severe cold quickly attacked them. They wanted to open their mouths to beg for mercy, but the weak cry was quickly covered by the sound of wind and snow.The rest of the people were frozen into ice sculptures in front of everyone.
"Before I came here, I said that mining is not easy. Since you have become a servant of the sect, you should know that a servant should devote himself to the sect. Even if you die in the mine vein, as long as you do things for the sect, the sect will not I will treat your family members harshly. But if you want the benefits of the sect and don’t want to pay, there is nothing so good in the world.” Yin Hongfei’s voice was colder than the ice and snow outside the barrier.
"I'll give you one last chance. If you want to leave, I'll let you go now, but you will be responsible for the consequences regardless of life or death." Yin Hongfei coldly swept over the orderlies. Also injured.
Ling Xi and Wen Heng crawled out of the ice cave and sneaked into the crowd.The handymen looked blankly, the light in their eyes flickered, and finally everyone resigned to their fate.If you leave the enchantment, you will die. If you move forward, there may be a glimmer of life.
Yin Hongfei's barrier continued to set up again, and the large army began to move forward again, leaving dozens of corpses and blood frozen into ice crystals.
The following journey was very hard, and Wen Heng's boots finally got stuck in the ice and snow and failed.Ling Xi tore a pair of boots from the downed handyman by the side of the road and gave him a pair of boots. Wen Heng looked at the boots and hesitated to wear them.
Ling Xi scolded him directly: "You want to freeze to death here, but you don't want to eat human flesh. That person is dead, and it's useless to follow him with boots. You can still wear them to save your life! You want to be like them Frozen to death in the ice and snow, I don't understand you, where did you come up with so many weird ideas, I can't live anymore, and I still want to be a gentleman!"
Wen Heng still didn't want to wear it, one of his feet turned bruise from the ice.Ling Xi scolded angrily, then squatted down and pulled Wen Heng's feet: "Stupid! I've been in trouble for eight lifetimes when I met you. I expected you to help me, but I ended up being a troublemaker!"
The handymen walked past Wen Heng, seeing that Wen Heng and the others were about to automatically fall out of Yin Hongfei's barrier.Wen Heng gritted his teeth and put his feet in the shoes.The feet have lost all feeling, and Wen Heng didn't feel how warm the feet were.
"Hey, that's right. I picked up a lot of boots, and the things given by the sect were not enough. Experienced people picked up things from the beginning. You are such a stupid person, and you are stubborn." Ling Xi chattered Nagging, Wen Heng didn't say anything but wrapped his clothes tightly around his body.He looked up at the long wind and snow, and something shattered in his eyes.
After walking for two full days and two nights, when they finally arrived at the Spirit Mine, only half of the handymen survived.Everyone described themselves as being in a mess.
The Spirit Mine is located in several surrounding snow-capped mountains. You Da Neng has added a barrier to the Spirit Mine. There is a deep pit surrounded by the barrier, and there are dots of flames everywhere in the pit. If you look carefully, those flames There are caves in the back.Standing on the edge of the spiritual mine and looking around, the shock is so shocking that one's scalp tingles.
Yin Hongfei led the group of handymen straight to the position of the Wuji Immortal Sect.It's easy to recognize, each sect will mark the place where its sect is located.In the position of Wuji Xianzong, there is a picture of Taiji Pisces floating in the air, and besides that, there are hundreds of logos, large and small, floating in the air.
The bigger the logo, the bigger the position and the stronger the sect's strength.The Wuji Immortal Sect's logo is huge on Renxiu's side, and it is next to the Zhang family's camp. The Zhang family's logo is a purple five-petal flower, which is easy to recognize.
But even for the Wuji Immortal Sect and the Zhang Family, their logos are not worth mentioning compared to the Yaoxiu Sect in Yuanling Realm on the opposite side.There are a few logos on Yaoxiu's side that are particularly huge, especially the sect with the logo of a three-legged chicken, which is so golden that it is almost blinding people's eyes.
"I should go, I'm a casual cultivator, and I can't enter the mine veins of your sect." The old man Lingxi pointed to the land not occupied by the sect, where there were only sporadic lights shining.More caves don't even have lights. "I'm mining over there, and that's the site of casual cultivators. If you want to go find me, you can."
Wen Heng nodded gratefully to Ling Xi: "Thank you." If Ling Xi hadn't been there along the way, he might have died on the way.A smile broke out on Ling Xi's old bark-like face: "You're welcome, you have accompanied me all the way here as an old man."
Ling Xi stuffed a lamp in Wen Heng's hand: "This lamp can be used in the spirit mine, as long as you add spirit ore, it will light up and work well." Wen Heng was very grateful: "Thank you, Mr. Ling." Ling Xi waved Waving his hand: "The old man is getting old and useless. It's rare to meet a few people who are pleasing to the eye. I'm leaving. See you by fate."
As he spoke, he hunched his back and left the large team of handymen.Wen Heng looked at Ling Xi's leaving back in a daze for a while, he always felt that he could see Ling Xi again.
78
The ore veins excavated by the Promise Immortal Sect are huge, and the caves, which are not as big as a bowl from a distance, are astonishingly large when approached-even if five or six flying boats are parked at the entrance of the mine veins, they can stop.
Yin Hongfei raised his voice: "Rest at the same place for one night, and leave the mine tomorrow morning." As soon as the voice fell, many of the handymen collapsed on the spot. They can persist until now because of their perseverance.Immediately, some people burst into tears. They did not expect that the road to come would be so difficult.
Yin Hongfei and the monks who came out from the mine to respond nodded, and they were speechless after hearing the cry.I'm crying now and it's not time to cry yet.
The temperature in the barrier was much higher than outside, black soil was everywhere, and green grass even sprouted in some damp places.
Wen Heng found a rock, and half-lyed on the other side of the rock.He first put the begging stick beside the stone, and then kneaded his stiff arms and legs.After his body calmed down a little, he flipped through the storage bag, and he had already eaten all the food in the storage bag.
He flipped through the storage bag and took out a cute little round bird of Yuxue.With the sign that it can brighten the blind outside, Wen Heng began to write the sixth letter to Lian Wushang.This time he didn't write about what he saw along the way. He had thought a lot along the way, and it was time to make proper arrangements for his funeral.If he really deserved to die here, at least he should not leave any regrets.
After Wen Heng finished writing, the white jade bird swallowed Wen Heng's letter paper with one mouthful, then made a small 'chirp', and flew straight into the sky.Wen Heng watched the bird disappear with a smile, and then took out a stack of reply letters from the storage bag.
The replies were all from Lian Wushang, and he received Lian Wushang's reply the same night after the first letter was sent.Lian Wushang ruthlessly criticized his handwriting, saying that even dogs would not want to read his handwriting.The next reply time will be slow, it is estimated that the distance is long, and the time for the bird to fly is long.
Lian Wushang's handwriting is elegant and indifferent, very much like him.Wen Heng felt a little regretful. Maybe he shouldn't have been so Meng Lang in the letter just now. If he really died, that's all. If he didn't die, how should he face Wushang in the future?
Immediately Wen Heng smiled, he probably wasn't too tired, and still had some fantasies about it, first of all, he had to live.
Wen Heng read and read Lian Wushang's reply letter again and again, remembering the position of the punctuation in each letter clearly.Wushang said that Gouzi has already practiced Qi to the second level, and he and Chu Yue have made rapid progress recently; Wushang said that Ah Rou was transferred to the Lingcao Hall by the steward of Lingcao Garden to help; Standing up on crutches...
In the end, he folded the letter carefully, put it on his chest carefully, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, the handymen who had been trimmed were ready to go.Wen Heng queued up to receive a frame of unknown material, inside which was a tool with a wooden handle.One end of this tool is pointed, which should be convenient for digging, and the other end is long and flat, which should be easy to search for.
The handymen lined up and walked into the deep mine one by one. The mine became narrower and darker.The temperature is not bad, compared to the ice and snow above, the mine is considered warmer.
The leading monk repeated to the group of handymen as they walked: "Each person pays ten spirit stones or two thousand catties of spirit ore every day. If you pay enough spirit ore for [-] spirit stones, you can leave. If you don't pay enough spirit stones , it will be superimposed backwards, when you have paid enough, when will you go back. If someone dug up a rare mineral, after handing it over to the Zongmen, the Zongmen will give you a generous reward and let you leave early..."
Wen Heng lowered his head and made the calculations. If an ordinary handyman is lucky, he can dig up thousands of spirit stones a day and he will send them out.If you are unlucky, you can only use spirit ore instead. Two thousand catties of spirit ore is not a small number. Leaving aside the time of excavation and selection, it has to be transported back one after another.
With two thousand catties of spirit stones per day, it would take at least three years to make up [-] spirit stones.If something happens and it is too late to complete the task, then the return date will be postponed indefinitely.
"The frames for you, each frame can carry two hundred catties of spirit ore..." The lead handyman was very chatty.A lively handyman joked: "How many spirit stones can that basket hold?" The leading handyman immediately said, "Naturally, it can hold two hundred catties of spirit stones. I'll wait for you to tell me how many spirit stones it can hold." .""Hahaha……"
The originally dreary atmosphere turned into a bit warmer, and the eyes of the handymen were rekindled with anticipation.Some are for Lingshi, some are for going back as soon as possible.
Every few kilometers, there is a relatively large mine. There is a monk standing in front of the mine. From time to time, someone will come to the monk with a spirit stone or spirit ore on his back and put down the frame to register something.
"Each newly opened mine can accommodate 50 people to mine at the same time. If you mine enough, you can register with the brother in front of the mine. You can also use your own ore to replace daily necessities with him..." Zheng Zheng As they said that, everyone saw a disheveled handyman carrying half a box of Lingshi to change into a new set of clothes and a few bigu pills.
Wen Heng immediately understood the routine of Wuji Xianzong. The handyman has to live, even in the mine, he has to eat and drink. The sect is afraid that the handyman will hide the spirit stone privately, so he uses this method to make the handyman spit out the extra spirit stone .For example, the daily quota is ten spirit stones, and a set of clothes is worth five spirit stones...
Wen Heng felt that this trick...well...although it was shameless, it was useful.Only now did he understand the use of collecting boots and the like along the way, as expected of Old Jiang.Even if Ling Xi doesn't wear it himself, he can sell it to others. For example, when someone buys a pair of boots from Zongmen, they need two spirit stones, Ling Xi can sell one spirit stone.
Wen Heng felt that the door to a new world was opening before his eyes.
Wen Heng walked slowly, and some handymen along the road had already been assigned to the mine.When we got to Wen Heng's place, there were only a dozen people left.The leading handyman led them straight to a mine, where a monk with a round face stood in front of the mine.
"There are already 18 people in this mine, you go in and choose a direction to dig. Just be careful when digging, try not to dig with several people at the same time, it will easily collapse the mine tunnel." Round-faced monk Smiling and saying something that wasn't funny at all.
"By the way, is there anyone among you who can read and write?" Hearing this, Wen Heng and a scholar-like person stood up.The round-faced monk said: "I'm short of a bookkeeper, you two write a letter to see."
Wen Heng and the scholar wrote a word, and the round-faced monk looked at the writing written by Wen Heng on the ground in doubt: "This word...is written... I can't understand it..." Then the scholar was hired.Wen Heng touched his nose, causing good-natured laughter.
After tossing for a month, it can be counted as the real destination.After Wen Heng drilled into the mine, he found that except for a little bean-sized light at the entrance of the cave, the rest of the place was completely dark.Fortunately, Zongmen assigned them a small lantern with a white candle inside.By the way, white candles cost money to buy, and when they are used up, they need to spend fifty catties of spiritual ore to exchange them every day.By the way, ten catties of spiritual ore are needed to exchange flint for lighting candles.
But everyone is newcomer, Zongmen is very 'generous' to provide a full set of new products.Wen Heng followed everyone's example and lit the candles, everyone dispersed, Wen Heng stood still and turned around.Um……
He didn't know where to dig, he felt like an earthworm standing in the winding tunnel.The other handymen scattered in all directions, and voices could be faintly heard in the mine tunnel.Wen Heng felt that since he wanted to mine, he should dig places that no one else had dug.
Facing the thick soil layer, he put down the lantern and the basket, and put the begging stick in the basket.As soon as the hammer head went down, the mud and stones in the wall fell to the ground in a mess. Wen Heng squinted his eyes and looked around. They were all useless stones, not even spirit ores.
Wen Heng was very strong, and he dug a hole in the wall before long, and then he burrowed into the hole like an earthworm.At the beginning, we could still see the candlelight lit up in the cave where Wen Heng was located. Later, Wen Heng just digged and cleared the mine tunnel, and then the mine tunnel he dug out was blocked by falling earth and rocks.
"Hey, it looks like a novice at first glance..." The old handyman with a basket on his back looked at the covered mine hole on the mine road and sighed, "When you have suffered enough, you will know what to do." Said the old handyman quickly left.
In fact, Wen Heng is quite comfortable with things like mining. He has great strength, and he can smash a lot with a hammer.It didn't take long for him to dig out a shiny spirit stone.
Wen Heng held the spirit stone in both hands, feeling that it should be a gift package for beginners from the mine.He rubbed the spirit stone on his clothes carefully, and squinted his eyes for a long time under the dim light of the candle.This is the first time he has dug a spirit stone!so beautiful!
Before Wen Heng had time to look around, the spirit stone flickered twice in his hand, and then it turned into powder.Wen Heng:! ! ! !He forgot that he would absorb the aura in the spirit stone!
Wen Heng's heart ached unceasingly, but he felt that his already hungry and colic stomach hurt even more. This situation was like a very hungry person who ate something, and then his body couldn't help but want to eat more and more.
Wen Heng was stunned for a moment, he seemed to understand something.What his body needs may not be flesh and blood, but aura. All along, he has tried his best to suppress the instinct of his body. If what he needs is aura, does it prove that his body knows where there is aura better than his consciousness?
Wen Heng turned around, and he found that when he faced one direction, his body's sense of hunger would be stronger.He held up the tool and dug a few times in that direction, and he turned over a shiny spirit stone!
Wen Heng stretched out his fingers to touch the spirit stone, and with just one click, the spiritual energy in the spirit stone was absorbed by him.He felt like his stomach was going crazy and began to growl, but Wen Heng's eyes were bright.The candlelight burned out, and the entire mine cave was darkened. Wen Heng's eyes glowed red in the darkness, and he slowly touched his belly: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm in the spiritual mine, slowly
