Chapter 289: Underground Hollow

This is a difficult question to answer.

Is it because of the social situation in this world and the backwardness of the social productive forces?

But in fact, even Hui Jue's previous life

Humanity has entered the interstellar age, and can build large colonial satellites in space.

Solar energy can be harvested using orbital energy towers.

Even the three most cutting-edge powers, including Huijue's motherland in his previous life, the Republic of Jean, possess the technology to make quantum furnaces.

But so what?

The ruling class, rich and powerful, naturally lives in abundance.

But the poor, still the poor.

The children in the orphanage are still suffering from cold and hunger.

"The history of human society seems to be a history of enslavement and exploitation. ”

Huijue remembered that in his previous life, a great man named Lu Xun said so.

Slave society.

The brutal ruling class, by virtue of its own strength, rules everything directly by force and terror.

Everything you have belongs to me, you don't belong to yourself, you are just things that belong to me.

You must follow my orders, no matter what I tell you to do.

Feudal society.

After the ruling class tasted the horrors of the slave rebellion of the lower classes, they changed their ways.

The lower class slaves were given the status of "people".

Strict social hierarchy to rule them.

Enjoy the food they bring from their labor.

In the context of this era.

The poor can starve, starve, freeze to death on the side of the road. The ruling class, however, still enjoys the food of the hard work of the lower classes.

After that, feudal society ended and entered the era of democracy.

Everything has changed again.

The ruling class has likewise changed its ways.

They use an invisible whip called the economy to whip these lower classes.

They work hard to survive.

But in fact, even in this era, there is still not much difference between these low-level people and the slaves of the past.

The value they create is far greater than what they get.

But it can only be exploited by invisible rules.

They thought their lives were progressing.

In fact, it is only the social productive forces that make progress.

Man's desires are endless.

And what is even more frightening is that exploitation is taken for granted.

It can be said that the people at the bottom of the pyramid of exploitation are the most miserable.

Huijue has always remembered the words of that great man.

Of course, Huijue remembered that the great man also had a famous sentence that went down in history.

"That's not what I said. —Lu Xun"

"I don't know how the social situation of human beings is subverted, this kind of thing. ”

"But, ah, I only know that these people, who have been born to do nothing wrong, have to suffer like this. ”

"This kind of thing is absolutely wrong!"

Huijue's heart was filled with a heavy feeling.

Under Wu Puqiao's guidance, Huijue soon found the entrance to the Cangzhou underground world.

Outside the village, inside a dry river.

There is a deep passage that seems to lead all the way down.

Under the leadership of Wu Puqiao, Huijue walked along this passage to the inside.

It's a very long passage.

And along the way, most of them are winding ramp steps.

Along the steps, Huijue felt that he had walked down for a long time before he came to the end.

A huge underground cavern.

Inside the hollow, it's not as dark as you imagined.

The cavity is very wide.

Even to describe it as broad is not correct at all.

It's huge, beyond imagination.

It's like an underground fault.

In the hollow ceiling underground, it was not pitch black.

Instead, there is a faint layer of moss-like stuff attached to it.

According to Wu Puqiao, this is glowing moss.

A special moss that glows with a silver glow.

It grows very well in a dark and damp environment.

Cangzhou's above-ground climate is dry.

But in this underground world, there is no shortage of water.

Although it is difficult to find an underground lake, the hollow air is filled with damp moisture.

In the faint fluorescence, Hui Jue's gaze could see that the surroundings were completely empty.

This is because, at this time, all those who have hands and feet and can work have been driven up.

At night, they went up to work for the people of Cangzhou.

Underground cavities, all over Cangzhou.

The monastic monastery, in the corresponding place of each village, opened up the passage to go up.

Of course, there is no point in running away.

The shackles around their necks are all prohibited, and under normal circumstances, they cannot be opened at all.

And the people of Cangzhou, as long as they see the shackles around your neck, they can judge your identity.

For the escaped slaves, the people and servants of Cangzhou saw it and could kill them.

Of course, in the underground cavity, at this moment, there is no one without it.

There are also some young and sick people who no longer have the strength to go up.

There are no old people in the underground cavities.

Because before they get old, they die.

Food underground, very scarce.

I couldn't find anything to eat, and everything I could eat had been eaten.

Those who can't go up will basically starve to death soon.

Huijue's gaze could see that there were indeed some, scattered people, lying on the ground, struggling, slowly moving towards death.

Others lie on their stomachs.

Scraping the glow moss on the ground with his hands, trying to put it in his chapped mouth.

Unfortunately, although glow moss is a plant, it is similar to sand and dirt, and is not edible at all.

These people are dying.

Hui Jue can feel it.

He stretched out his hand, and from his palm, the Buddha's light rippled, and all these poor people were directly accepted by him into the cave world.

However, Huijue's movements were very careful.

He can't be found now.

In the underground cavern, every large area is separated by a demon suppression pillar.

This underground world is also divided into small areas according to the Demon Suppression Pillar.

The Demon Suppressor Pillar is responsible for suppressing and monitoring the entire underground cavern.

If the movement here is too loud and the Demon Suppressor Pillar detects it, it will be terrible.

Of course, only a small number of people remain here.

Most people don't come back until it's almost dawn.

As far as Huijue is concerned, since he wants to make a move, he naturally wants to find a way to save more people at one time.

One night's time.

How short-lived.

But Huijue didn't wait in vain.

Instead, he cautiously moved forward and went to observe the Demon Suppression Pillar.

After carefully reining in his aura, Hui Jue went to the nearest Demon Suppression Pillar nearby.

On this demon suppression pillar, the seal is engraved with a star pillar of the book!

This demon suppression pillar, which symbolizes the star of the book, is pitch black, and the pillar body is covered with Sanskrit characters.

It stands in the hollow of the earth, running through the top and bottom.
