Chapter Eighty-Seven: Spirit Stone Mine
The spiritual world, the mountain and sea realm, the Xishan mountain system, the flooded riverside, the birds and mice are in the same cave mountain
"Ah Jing, did you dig up the spirit ore today? If we can't dig it up again, the black pig-headed overseer will be angry, and we will be killed! A skinny young man with sharp beaks and monkey cheeks, his eyes looked around with a hint of worry and fear, and he gathered the tattered clothes on his body, and looked at the equally ragged young man in front of him with a look of hope.
"Race monkey, don't worry, I think there should be goods in our pit, I have a hunch! And the world is so big, I feel like I'm going to go out and see it someday! Maybe I shouldn't belong here! "The man has a pair of black eyes that seem to be able to see through everything in the past and this life, and a dirty and tattered clothes cannot hide the arrogance that comes out of his bones, he is like gold in the sand, always inadvertently shining with that unusual brilliance.
"Brother Mirror, are you sure there is really a spiritual mine in it? If we don't hand over the spirit mine again, the black pig-headed overseer won't be able to spare us! I heard that the lame man's leg was broken by him! The monkey looked at the limping and moving cripple in the distance with a frightened face, and became more and more frightened.
"What are you afraid of, the black pig-headed overseer is my offense, and it has nothing to do with you! You can rest assured, if you really can't dig up the spirit ore by then, I'll give him this mirror" Ah Jing took out a tattered cloth bag from his arms, opened it carefully, and took out a simple bronze mirror.
Ah Jing carefully rubbed the simple patterns of flowers, birds, fish and insects on the bronze mirror, as well as the coolness from his fingers, and his mind couldn't help but have a little memory, in fact, this mirror is really not a very important thing for him, even if it is really a magic weapon as expected by the black pig's head builder.
Because even if it's a magic weapon, Ah Jing won't use it. He just wanted to keep recalling more memory fragments by touching this cool mirror, about the One Qi Dao Sect, and who were the few beautiful women who appeared in his memory like those fairies of the Immortal Cultivation Sect!
His name is Ah Jing, and he was not born with Ah Jing.
That time, he appeared in the pit of the race monkey, it can be said that the race monkey dug him out of the mine, and he was clutching this bronze mirror at that time, so everyone called him A mirror. According to the regulations of the black pig's head, each mine must hand over a piece of spiritual stone mine every year, and if it can't be handed over, there will be no good fruit to eat. Originally, the race monkey had already handed over a low-grade spirit stone mine in the first half of the year, but the last time the race monkey saved A Jing, it was seen by the black pig head builder, and fortunately, he took a fancy to A Jing's bronze mirror, and felt that it might be a magic weapon that he wanted to swallow privately, so he asked the race monkey's mine to hand over another piece of spirit ore, because they are not a person, counting A Jing should be two people, or they can exchange the copper mirror, otherwise......
"No, you can't! This is the only thing you want to live in, and you must not give it to a black pig's head! Let's keep digging, as long as we dig out a piece of spirit ore, everything will be fine! The monkey patted Ah Jing on the back and comforted him, and handed Ah Jing a very smooth and pulped hoe with a wooden handle that had been rubbed!
"Good! Let's keep digging hard! No matter how hard we've been digging for the rest of the day, I have a feeling that our pit has a big surprise just around the corner! Ah Jing took the mine hoe and tried it in his hand, which was very convenient, so he continued to work hard.
"Well, Brother Mirror, let's work together, I also believe that we can, if we dig a little more every day, the chance of getting the spirit stone mine will be much greater! It is said that Brother Liu has already gone to report the black pig's head supervisor, and I think the good days of the black pig's head should come to an end! "The monkey said a little bit of gnashing of teeth.
"The black pig head has been the soil emperor near this bird and mouse mountain for too long, and he has forgotten the glory of the mountain god, and one day he will be punished by the mountain god!"
The hard and boring mining work has unconsciously lasted for a day and a night, Sai Monkey and Ah Jing dragged their tired bodies out of the mine and rushed to the thatched hut at the foot of the mountain, Sai Monkey is a devout believer in the mountain god, and when he left the entrance of the mine, he did not forget to put down a rice ball made of rice on the white thatched futon at the entrance of the cave, and muttered to himself: "I hope the mountain god will bless, the boy is poor and can't afford to buy white chickens, so he will sacrifice his only ration to the mountain god, When the kid is developed, he must sacrifice the most majestic and mighty white rooster in the world to the mountain god! ”
When all this was done, Sai Monkey carefully divided the rice ball in half and handed the larger part to Ah Jing.
"Brother Ajing! When do you think we'll have enough to eat? The monkey looked at Ah Jing with a look of hope while devouring the rice balls, and said vaguely.
"Yes, it's not far off!" Ah Jing took a bite of half of the rice ball handed over by the monkey, and he couldn't say what it tasted like, but deep down in his heart, he felt that eating should be a very simple thing. In his memory, he seems to have lived in a world where you can always live without worrying about food and clothing......
The two of them ate rice balls and walked down the mountain, passing through the flood, this is the place where they bathed, no matter how cold or hot it is, they always have to wash their bodies when they go back after digging, although the clothes are tattered, there is no way to change it, after all, they are so poor that they can't afford to eat, let alone buy a set of clothes. However, personal cleanliness and hygiene, whether it is clean or not is a person's own quality problem, although Ah Jing is not a person with a habit of cleanliness, but also not a dirty and sloppy person, since coming here every day to pull the monkey to the river to wash, but also the monkey from a sloppy dirty miner to a clean miner in tattered clothes.
There are a lot of mackerel in the flooded river, this kind of mackerel is shaped like a big hoe turned over, but it has a bird-like head, but the tail and fins are the same as ordinary fish, its cry is like the sound of striking a chime, this kind of fish is extremely flexible in the water, but as long as they catch them, they will spit out a pearl from their mouth. Although these jewels are not large, they are worth a few dollars. Sai Monkey and Ah Jing catch some mackerel every day when they take a bath, and use the pearls they spit out in exchange for some food for their stomachs, otherwise he would have starved to death in the morning, because there is no other source of income from mining.
