Chapter 4: Four Hundred to One! [Ask for investment! 】
Tempus fugit.
The sun and the moon are like a shuttle.
Flash.
Three more days passed.
The miners in the Death Mine continue to attrition and have fallen below the 400 level. More and more miners are being taken away, and more and more are falling to their deaths.
A few days ago.
Zhao Zhuo in the North Sixth District set himself on fire and burned to soot. Wang Ding in the North Ninth District was cold and frozen into ice.
One more case in the past three days.
It was Zheng Dagen in the North Fifth District, who turned into a puddle of pus in the cave, and died in a miserable state.
This sensational way of death fell into the ears of Chen Jichuan and Chen Shaohe, and it also made the brothers afraid for a while.
I didn't know.
Now that I think about it, Zhao Zhuo and the three of them should have failed to survive the awakening level, so they had this tragic situation.
Of course, there is a high probability that it may be because of the mine where the spirit stone is stored, and the radiation is too violent, which makes Chen Shaohe awaken too violently. If the flesh cannot hold on, it will be burned to ashes and turned into water.
More deaths.
More spooky.
Money to wait for the overseers to increase their violence.
It also caused the remaining miners to fall into extreme anxiety and despair, and they could not live in fear.
In such an atmosphere.
Chen Jichuan and Chen Shaohe carefully disguised themselves, and went to report to the supervisor every day, but they all pretended to be tired.
Said it was pretended.
Not strictly speaking.
Chen Shaohe controls the flames every day, although he doesn't need much physical exertion, but after a long time, his energy is a little poor, and he has to sleep all night to recover.
As for Chen Jichuan.
He used 'Creation and Insight' to find the spirit stones, and easily found four on the first day.
But as the easy-to-obtain spirit stones were mined by him, the remaining spirit stones were buried deeper, and the five spirit stones dug up in the next two days required Chen Jichuan to dig up more soil and chisel more iron-disgusting ore in order to get the spirit stones buried deeply.
At the end of the day.
It's not light, it's tired.
But because of this, Chen Jichuan discovered the great use of source power.
As it is now.
Jingle bell.
Chen Jichuan wielded the iron pickaxe with all his strength. The arms and palms have long been sore, even hot. The lower back and back are also sore.
This feeling.
Chen Jichuan has been familiar with it for six years, and he doesn't blink his eyes.
But this is a different time.
"Whew!"
"Whew!"
Chen Jichuan was panting like a cow, and he couldn't swing the iron pickaxe anymore, his strength was exhausted, and he sat on the ground with his ass. Panting, his chest rose and fell, but instead of resting, he closed his eyes and came to the 'Qinglian Jade Pendant' where the 'Dao Fruit' lived in his mind.
"Come!"
"Come out!"
Mind as you like.
Pull out a few of the silver threads that flutter smartly.
The source force followed the mind and body, came to the arms and waist respectively, and then the heart was relaxed, and the silver filament and the source force were no longer restrained, and turned into a trace of coolness, as if the lover's little hand caressed, and instantly drove away all the fatigue.
Chen Jichuan closed his eyes and felt quietly.
Not much.
Stand up.
Wave your arms, twist your hips, stretch your back, and suddenly rejuvenate again.
And that's not all.
Chen Jichuan also felt that the muscles in his arms and back seemed to have become tighter and stronger. Chen Jichuan optimistically guessed that in the long run, he might become stronger.
It's a pity.
All he lacked now was time.
"Whew!"
Strength restored.
Fatigue dissipates.
Chen Jichuan didn't think about it and continued to struggle.
Bite~
A bang.
In the past three days, the tenth spirit stone was dug up by Chen Jichuan.
[Source Force: 1024]
Cools into the body.
"It's full!"
Chen Jichuan glanced at the column of the source force after the beating, and he couldn't care about being happy, put down the iron pickaxe, and went straight to his mind.
But seeing that Qinglian Jade Pendant is still up and down.
Inside.
One thousand and twenty-four silver filaments flutter smartly, which is pleasing to the eye.
As soon as Chen Jichuan saw it, there was a stream of information -
[Does it consume a thousand source power and bloom a realm?] 】
A thousand source forces.
The blue lotus blossoms.
See a realm.
Chen Jichuan's heart was pounding, he waited for three days, worked hard for three days, and waited for this moment.
I just went to report today.
There was a whole day for Chen Jichuan to explore the other world.
Chen Jichuan couldn't wait.
Open your eyes.
Summoned Chen Shaohe.
"Fourth brother."
Chen Shaohe waved his hand to disperse the flames and trotted over. In three days, he went from being in a state of fire when he first spoke, to now being able to control the flames from his heart, starting and extinguishing his thoughts, like a god of flames.
Even if it's still a little hunchbacked, it looks old.
But the spirit of the whole person is completely different. If it is seen by others, it will be suspicious.
Fortunately, there is a lot of iron-disgusted black oil, which sticks to the body, face, and head, which is the best to hide. And because of the stench, the overseer didn't want to look at it at a glance.
Don't worry about being seen through.
Chen Shaohe came to Chen Jichuan and saw another spirit stone, he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "Fourth brother, are you ready?" ”
"It's all right."
Chen Jichuan nodded.
Chen Shaohe was overjoyed when he heard this.
Regarding the fourth brother's 'golden finger', Chen Shaohe didn't ask much. He had long heard the fourth brother say that once he got the golden finger, he had to keep his mouth shut, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better, so as not to leak it out unknowingly, which became the way to die.
So.
He doesn't ask, and he doesn't want to know. In his heart, the fourth brother will definitely not forget him if he has benefits, and he will not forget the fourth brother if he has benefits.
It's all rightfully deserved.
Therefore, I don't know much about what 'Dao Fruit' is.
I only know that after the fourth brother has saved enough spirit stones, he can travel through his consciousness and enter another world, a strange world.
At this moment, I heard that the spirit stone was ready.
Chen Shaohe was also a little excited, but then, he was a little worried: "Fourth brother must be careful." ”
He didn't dare to say something unlucky.
also knows that the fourth brother will definitely pass.
But he was still afraid, afraid that the fourth brother would be over there, what if he couldn't come back. Leaving him alone, what kind of feeling it was like, Chen Shaohe didn't dare to imagine.
"Don't worry."
"I can come back with a thought, and my body is still here."
Seeing his younger brother's rare expression of attachment and reluctance, Chen Jichuan's heart warmed and comforted him warmly.
Chen Shaohe is not ignorant.
Seeing that the fourth brother wanted to comfort him in turn, he blushed for a while, turned around and took two steps towards the entrance of the cave: "Fourth brother, don't worry, I'll stay outside and promise not to let anyone harm you." ”
Chen Jichuan smiled.
Lie down under the quilt.
……
[Does it consume a thousand source power and bloom a realm?] 】
[Yes.] 】
Qinglian jade pendant, a thousand silver filaments flying, blending into the budding flower bones, disappearing.
And the delicate flower bones, but in an instant, visible to the naked eye, bloomed, growing into a cyan lotus, filled with a faint mist. Among them, there are twenty-four silver threads fluttering, which is the only source power left by Chen Jichuan.
Flowers bloom to see me.
I saw it at the time—
In the middle of the cyan lotus, a villain is born out of nothing, without a wisp.
If you look closely, the villain's facial features are familiar, and his skin is puffy white, as if he has not seen sunlight all year round. The figure is ugly, the back is bulging a lot, and the hunched back is hunched over, making it look not tall.
Hands are full of calluses.
Overworked and looking old.
Chen Jichuan was fascinated.
He recognized this 'person', and his heart was full of mixed tastes, and there was an indescribable sourness -
"I...."
"How did I end up like this!"
Chen Jichuan looked at the villain.
Recognize.
That's who he is.
It's just that he has been in the black prison all the year round, and the black grease of the iron ore hides his face, except for the reflection of the stream, there is no full-length mirror to see his appearance. Therefore, the appearance of such a villain in Leng Buding made Chen Jichuan feel strange.
Even guessed.
to 'recognize' yourself.
This is also the first time to see the devastated body in this life so clearly.
As he thought.
No.
It's even uglier and worse than he imagined!
"Is it a replica of my real-life body?"
Chen Jichuan sensed the information, couldn't bear to look at it more, and his mind moved, and he entered the other world.
……
【Ding! 】
[Arriving in the New World, testing....]
[Testing completed.] 】
[The ratio of time flow between the current world and the Dharma World is 400:1]
[In the process of being put in by the legal master, 5..4..3..2..1]
Recite the lotus flower.
The world is spinning.
As soon as Chen Jichuan opened his eyes, he found himself standing on a road made of rammed loess.
Call!
Call!
The wind blew through the dust and blew him to the dust.
Chen Jichuan was not annoyed but happy.
“400:1。”
"Great!"
He is most short of time now, he didn't expect that drowsiness came to send a pillow, and the first world he opened had such a big time difference.
Four hundred to one.
What is this concept?
It means that Chen Jichuan has lived here for a year, and not even a day has passed in reality. This is an exaggeration compared to the myth and legend that 'one day in heaven and one year on earth' will come.
Of course, Chen Jichuan was happy to death.
"That's it."
"Even if 400 miners die in only ten days and a half, I have at least ten years to deal with it."
Chen Jichuan couldn't close his mouth with a smile.
The tension of the mind relaxed slightly.
Only then did he put his mind down and look around. At a glance, my heart was even more joyful and full of emotion.
It's been six years.
In the dark prison of drowsiness, fog all day, dampness and gloom are the main themes. The wind that blew was cold and dusty. Therefore, when he saw the yellow sand flying on his face at first glance, Chen Jichuan suddenly felt like a world away.
The sun shines in the sky.
The flowers are smiling.
The sun is shining.
Chen Jichuan's body was warm, and the haze buried in his heart was dispelled a lot. Chen Jichuan raised his head, stretched out his hand to cover it, and from his fingers, he saw the scorching sun like fire and white clouds.
Momentarily stupid.
……
Lingnan Road.
The capital city of Langning Mansion.
In September, the weather was hot and humid, and a few lazy soldiers guarded the city gate, asking for a few copper coins to eat tea from the vendors and farmers who entered the city.
Chen Jichuan was dressed in a short dress.
There was no goods on his shoulders, and a few soldiers glanced at them and ignored them.
Along the official road, the further you walk towards Langning City, the more pedestrians there are. But if you want to talk about liveliness, you have to count the city.
Chen Jichuan did not show timidity and strode into the city.
Just like Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden, looking left and right, no matter how you look, you can't see enough, where there are many people, you can get together.
It's not for the sake of excitement.
The greenery outside the city is lush, the grass and trees are fragrant, and the insects and birds are singing....
The beautiful scenery that he has not seen in the black prison for six years, Chen Jichuan can give it up, how can he get lost in the noise of people.
Although he is obsessed with a world that is completely different from the black prison at the moment.
But I also remembered in my heart that in the real reality, there was still a crisis imminent, and his younger brother Chen Shaohe was waiting.
Even if there is a time difference of 400 times, Chen Jichuan only gives himself the time to look at three or five more eyes. Next, we still have to cheer up and find a way to improve our strength and get out of the black prison as soon as possible.
Gathering in crowded places is also to get more information.
Because the world is different and the language is not comprehensible, Chen Jichuan couldn't understand what the people here were saying.
Fortunately.
He had an idea, and he thought of 'Creation and Insight'. This insight technique is claimed to be able to perceive time and space, cause and effect, and should not only be able to perceive tangible things such as tourists and spirit stones.
So I tried to understand what the people here were saying.
After this attempt, I realized that insight is not only a combination of 'identification' and 'exploration', but also a translator.
Although only one-way.
Can hear but not speak.
Commonly known as a mute foreign language.
But as long as you give him enough time to listen and learn more, it won't be long before he can communicate with others normally.
For now, let's listen honestly to others.
Listen as you go.
Chen Jichuan also knows more about the current world and knows that this is Langning Mansion on the south road of Dayanling. This Ronning City, the southern half of the city where he is located, is the capital city. Half to the north, but it is the county seat of Xuanhua.
There are many residents and many vendors.
It is the largest and most prosperous city among the eight counties of Langning Province.
Walking in between.
Pedestrians talk and hear a lot of information. Most of them just listened casually, and Chen Jichuan was also looking for information that would help him.
The emperor lives up to his wishes.
When he walked head-on with two young people dancing with flying eyebrows, Chen Jichuan finally heard it.
"The Iron Bull Kung Fu has been practiced well, and the mixed body is tight. If you still encounter a cactus, you will definitely not be able to fight immediately. ”
"Master Lu is really planted this time."
"Not really. Knowing that the new Master Yang's 'Golden Shovel Finger' has been practicing for many years, and he is the nemesis of his family's 'Iron Bull Skill', he still dares to fight others. At this moment, not only was he beaten and ruined, but he was also stepped on by Master Yang. ”
"If you want me to say, this Master Yang is also ruthless, he can obviously keep his hand, but he has to beat Master Lu to death."
"You can't say that. There are no eyes in his fists and feet, if Master Yang shows mercy to his subordinates, he may be the one who loses. ”
……
Chen Jichuan used insight to hear the words of the two clearly, and his heart moved: "Golden shovel finger!" Iron Bull Gong! ”
That sounds amazing.
He didn't come into this world to learn a foreign language, not to learn something, not to make money, not to be powerful.
These are useless.
can't help him, can't help Chen Shaohe.
He wants to get out of the black prison only by force. Whether it's martial arts, Taoism, or something else.
'Golden Shovel Finger' and 'Iron Bull Gong'——
"It's very reliable."
……
Half an hour later.
Chen Jichuan came to the south of the city and stood outside the 'Lujia Martial Arts Hall'.
There was a shouting sound in the courtyard, and there was the sound of heavy objects rising and falling.
Chen Jichuan stepped in.
Seeing the huge courtyard, there were only eight people, each doing their own thing.
Or carry stone locks, or stand on horseback, or lie on their backs, and hit the abdomen with fists and wooden hammers.
But the most striking thing is that he is a small but stocky martial artist.
Ooh!
I saw that this martial artist was holding a stone drum weighing four or five hundred pounds with both arms, the stone was heavy and slippery, and the holding was the easiest to fall off, but this person was steady and steady, walking freely, only making a 'bang' sound, as if the ground was shaken.
It's powerful.
It's intimidating.
Chen Jichuan looked at it and fell on this person-
Name: Lu Xiong
Age: 25
Level: 3
Spells: Iron Bull Gong (3rd layer), Jade Belt Gong (3rd layer)
"It turns out that the Lujia Martial Arts Hall has more than one 'Iron Bull Gong', but also a 'Jade Belt Gong'."
Chen Jichuan was secretly happy in his heart.
On the way he came, he used the broken dialect of Langning Mansion to memorize word by word, and found out that there are three most powerful martial arts halls in Langning Mansion, namely the Zhao Family Martial Arts Hall, the Ge Family Martial Arts Hall and the Lu Family Martial Arts Hall.
Among them, the first two also have real kung fu.
Zhao Tiezhi, the owner of the Zhao Family Martial Arts Museum, is known as the 'Crouching Tiger', and his footwork and leg skills are powerful.
Ge Daqi, the owner of the Gejia Martial Arts Museum, is known as the 'Eagle Claw King', and his claws are sharp.
And Lu Peng, the owner of the Lu Family Martial Arts Museum, is known as the 'Iron Bull', known as invulnerable.
These three were originally the strongest and most famous boxers in the entire Lonning City.
But yesterday, Yang Xu, the 'cactus' from Wuyuan County, went to the Lujia Martial Arts Hall to kick the gym, and directly beat Lu Peng to vomit blood, and the Lujia Martial Arts Hall was discredited.
It just so happened that this Yang Xu opened the museum today to accept apprentices.
As a result, the Lu Family Martial Arts Hall will only be ranked fourth in Langning City in the future.
And even if Dayan's world is not peaceful now, making martial arts prevail, there are not too many martial arts halls in a city. was squeezed out of the top three, and its reputation was greatly damaged, and the Lu Family Martial Arts Hall was bound to collapse.
But Chen Jichuan's mind turned slightly.
Neither go to the Zhao family nor the Ge family.
didn't go to the Yang Family Martial Arts Hall, which had just beaten Lu Peng to vomit blood, but went straight to the Lu Family Martial Arts Hall.
Not because he likes to burn the cold stove.
It's just because the other three martial arts halls charge a lot of money, and Chen Jichuan is penniless.
……
Chen Jichuan stood in the courtyard for a while, watching everyone practice, and when he was in a trance, he saw the martial artist named 'Lu Xiong', who was holding the stone drum in his arms, lightly put the stone drum in his arms on the ground, made a 'bang' sound, and stepped forward: "What's the matter?" ”
Other people in the courtyard also looked at Chen Jichuan.
Yesterday, the master was injured by the 'cactus' Yang Xu, and now he is still bedridden.
Even the martial arts gym that has been open in the city for more than ten years has also plummeted. There were more than thirty apprentices in the Lu Family Martial Arts Pavilion yesterday, but only six came today, and these six were all disciples of the hall master.
As for the other apprentices.
Some stopped studying, some went to other houses, and some even went to the newly opened Yang Family Martial Arts Hall.
The martial arts hall opened its doors to accept apprentices.
If you have money, you can come in.
It can't be said that they are powerful.
If you spend money to practice martial arts, you will naturally go to whichever one is powerful. Master Lu was beaten by Yang Xu and vomited blood, these apprentices saw it, who still wants to stay here?
So when they saw Chen Jichuan coming, these people were strange.
"Me."
"Yes."
"Governance."
"Okay."
"Lu."
"Division."
"Fu."
Chen Jichuan didn't talk nonsense, he opened his mouth and said word by word.
This is one of the few words he learned on the way to the Lujia Martial Arts Hall.
"Cure my dad?"
"Then please come inside."
Another martial artist in the courtyard who was lying on his back and constantly hammering his abdomen with a wooden hammer heard it, and suddenly a fierce man turned over.
Chen Jichuan looked at him-
Name: Lu Rong
Age: 24
Level: 2
Spells: Iron Bull Gong (2nd layer), Jade Belt Gong (1st layer)
This person looks very similar to Lu Xiong, and looking at the names of the two, Chen Jichuan guessed that these two people must be brothers. Master Lu lying on the bed should be the two of them.
In terms of rank, Lu Rong's martial arts training is not as good as that of his eldest brother.
But filial piety is not bad, and it is even more urgent.
When he heard that Chen Jichuan could cure his father, he spoke very politely.
The eldest brother Lu Xiong glanced at Chen Jichuan, who was dressed in a short beat, not like a doctor. But because of his perennial work, Chen Jichuan looks old, which helps.
Lu Xiong thought to himself that no one would come to the martial arts hall to deceive.
Isn't that looking for death?
Thereupon.
"Please."
immediately changed his smiling face, and together with his younger brother Lu Rong, he took Chen Jichuan to the back room.
Give it a try.
……
