The mines are deep underground, where there is no sunlight all year round, and torches and braziers are lit everywhere to illuminate the surroundings. That night, all the new slaves, including Wei Dong, were branded with plum blossom-shaped marks symbolizing the mark of the slaves of the Jin Kingdom. Everyone was dejected and ready to go to bed, only Wei Dong was still sitting on the bed and pondering. It is said that it is a bed, but in fact, it is some laid haystacks, one pile per person, and they are neatly stacked.

There is a rule for going to bed at night, and once the gong sounds, you must go to bed, because all the lights in the mine will be extinguished, and the whole mine will not be able to reach out to the five fingers. Since Wei Dong had already entered the late stage of the Pulse Refining Realm, he could still see the surrounding scene vaguely when he was in his eyes.

In the blink of an eye, it was already early in the morning, and the gongs sounded in the mine, and the torches and braziers were lit one after another, and a new day began.

As a newcomer, Wei Dong was assigned a master. It is an honest uncle, who is surnamed Wu, and the old people in the mining area call him Uncle Wu, and he has been in for many years. He took Wei Dong to the mining area and taught him how to distinguish between ordinary stones and ores, and where to dig more crystalline ore.

For lunch, I also listened to the sound of gongs and came to a large cave, and one person had a large bowl of rice and some green vegetables. These meals were quite good for civilians and slaves, at least better than the standard food in the prison, and at least the greens. This is what Wei Dong was thinking in his heart at this time, "It seems that General Chen is quite merciful to his subordinates and slaves."

After lunch, continue to the mining area. I heard Uncle Wu say that there is an indicator for mining in this Panlong Mine Cave, and an average of ten pieces of earth crystal ore are needed every day, and they are handed over once every ten days, that is, one hundred pieces of earth crystal must be handed over every ten days. If the indicators are not met, they will be whipped, and the remaining indicators will be accumulated, and if they can't be completed, they will be beaten again, and the indicators will be accumulated until they are killed.

"So, Xiao Weizi, you have to be careful of the other mining slaves around, they will come to rob the mine from time to time!" This is the last advice of Uncle Wu as a master. Wei Dong watched Uncle Wu hunched over and walked into the distance, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of sadness in his heart, "Once you enter the coiling dragon, it will be difficult to get out for the rest of your life!"

After digging for two days, only five pieces of earth crystal ore were dug up, and Wei Dong was very anxious. Here, the mortality rate as a newcomer is extremely high, because of the unskilled hands and feet, and the lack of experience, they will often be beaten at the beginning. Once beaten, due to the injury, the mining efficiency will be greatly reduced in the next few days, and the beating will be repeated, and so on, and in the end, you will either die of exhaustion or be beaten to death.

After a few days of running-in, on the seventh day, the output of Weidong mining suddenly increased a lot. After lunch on the ninth day, Wei Dong already had one hundred and five pieces of earth crystal ore in his back basket, and there was still one day left, which was considered to be an overfulfilled task.

But it has also attracted the attention of some people. No, in the afternoon, Wei Dong was in the corner of a mining cave, humming a small tune while digging ore. "One hundred and nine yuan, hehe, good luck, digging a little more is enough for a day's more, I'll go to see Uncle Wu later, if he doesn't have enough, give him some even." ’

Wei Dong was thinking about where he was, when suddenly a gloomy voice came from behind him, "It's really leisurely! What's the matter, the production is done?"

"Who?" Wei Dong immediately turned around vigilantly and found two big men standing behind him, staring at him viciously.

"Hand it over! We won't embarrass you, hand over half of the output to us, and we'll let you go! How about it? Think about it? Tell you to be a man and be aware of current affairs!" The gloomy voice just now sounded in front of Wei Dong again.

Wei Dong narrowed his eyes and lowered his head to ponder for a while, then said, "You give me half of yours, and I can leave the past alone······!"

"What, you kid say it again!" the two men asked in unison, a little confused.

"Are you deaf?" I said, if you give me half of your money, I won't hold you accountable for what you did!" Wei Dong said casually.

"You kid have lost your mind, are you crazy, and you still dare to threaten us?" the two big men couldn't believe their ears at this time.

"Threaten you, this is what you brought on yourself!" Wei Dong finished speaking, he stepped in front of a strong man and punched his head, "Bang!" sounded, hitting the bridge of the strong man's nose, "Ah! You kid is looking for death!" Another strong man next to him raised his hand and slashed at Wei Dong.

Wei Dong raised his hand and pinched the palm of the split, the strong man's palm did not move, and he couldn't retreat even if he wanted to retreat, his face was flushed red at this time, and he finally wanted to stretch out his left hand to relieve the siege.

Wei Dong dragged back hard, "you!" The strong man was thrown backwards with a "whoosh", hit the stone wall, and fainted.

The big man with a fist in his nose was covering his nose and wailing, and blood flowed all over his body along his hands.

Wei Dong squatted down, knocked the man who was lying on the ground and wailed with his hand, and said, "Do you still want my share?"

"Oh, I don't dare, I don't dare!" said the man, slurring his words.

"For the sake of all companions, I spare you today, and if there is a next time, I will pinch off your arms and see how you live. Wei Dong said viciously.

"Don't dare, don't dare!" the man repeated.

"Go ahead, carry your companion back, heal the wounds, and work tomorrow!" Wei Dong said expressionlessly.

After this incident, Wei Dong has never encountered a similar incident again, and those bullies among the slaves will nod their heads and call "Brother Wei" when they see Wei Dong in the future!"

'In this world, the strong are respected!' Wei Dong clearly understood this truth.

In the mine, you can't see the sun rising and the moon setting, and you can't see the flowers blooming, but the days still go by. In the blink of an eye, Wei Dong has been living and working here for more than three years, and he is already fourteen years old this year.

In the past three years, a lot of things have happened outside, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there have been ups and downs. The emperor of the Dajin Kingdom died, and the Holy Empress Zhang Liru was pregnant with a posthumous son, and after being pregnant in October, she gave birth to a daughter and became the crown prince, and she herself relied on the protection of the 'gods' and ascended the throne as the first female emperor of the Dajin Kingdom.

But what is puzzling is that the female emperor once issued an order to canonize a mysterious person as the minister of state, and everyone only knew that his name was Marin, and no one saw his real face, because he always wore a mask.

The third major event was the defection of the 'peerless general' Wei Wouji, who surrendered to Beidi. After knowing the unknown situation of the life and death of his 'brother' Sima Bin and the dispatch of his nephew Wei Dong to Nanban, he chose to surrender to Cheng with grief and indignation.

Of course, this has nothing to do with the current Wei Dong, who is busy and hard working like a little bee every day. The heavy physical work of this mining is quite effective in the physical training. A year ago, Wei Dong had unknowingly stepped into the early stage of the fourth realm's 'Refining Dirty Realm'.

In the mine, because Wei Dong was hard-working, capable, and smart, he was appreciated by General Chen, and he overthrew Lao Guo and became the leader of Tianzihao Group C.

Wei Dong sometimes thinks that it would be good if he continued like this, and it would not be too late to wait for the realm to go up a few levels, and then find a way to get out, after all, he was still young now.

But sometimes, people are not as good as heaven, and a shocking event happened in the mine not long after, which once again changed Wei Dong's fate.
