"Northern Wilderness?" Mo Yiming looked up and looked into the distance, although he still saw the mountains, but when he said the word 'Northern Wilderness', he seemed to be able to cross the mountains and see the endless desert. His eyes didn't show any fluctuations, but his expression was extremely tired, especially the heavy hammer he was still holding in his hand, which made his thin waist unable to fully straighten.

Mo Yiming is now sixteen years old, due to perennial fatigue, hunger and cold, and his bones are as thin as firewood. With his cloak scattered, he is even more prominent.

"Yes, Northern Wilderness...... It is said that the people there are barbarians, not only barbaric, but also brutal. If it weren't for the fact that they were waging war against Nanshan, we wouldn't have fallen into the way we are now, living such a life of hunger and cold. Alas, when I think of this, I feel especially nostalgic for the time when we were in Tucheng. ”

The person who spoke was about fourteen or fifteen years old, and his figure was in stark contrast to Mo Yiming, and his name was Lei Xiao. It is said that some people will gain weight when they drink water, and Lei Xiao probably belongs to that kind of person. If it weren't for the chains on his feet, coupled with the tattered clothes on his body, I don't know how many springs, summers, autumns and winters he had experienced, he would really think that he was a rich kid.

Anyway, he's fat, how can you say it? It's indescribable.

"yes." Mo Yiming took a deep breath, and the exhaustion on his body was relieved a lot. My mind then returned to the place of laughter and laughter four years ago.

It was his hometown, Tucheng.

A clear stream passes through Tucheng, and he, Lei Xiao and other friends often strip naked to play in the water and catch fish. There is a hundred-year-old ginkgo tree in front of his house, and at dusk, he lies in his mother's arms, looking at the red glow in the sky, and listens to his mother tell the sensational deeds that once happened in Nanshan.

I still remember that when he was nine years old, he had his current name, and his mother gave him such a name at that time, so that he would be a blockbuster when he got ahead in the future.

Looking back now, it's as if my mother knew it was going to happen now......

Even he remembered that whenever his father came back from ploughing, he would always leave a deep kiss mark on his face at the first time. At that time, he would still pretend to be disgusted and wipe the saliva left on his cheeks by his father.

Whenever he thought of this, Mo Yiming's heart would be filled with sourness. This kind of sourness, at the moment when it came to his heart, was covered up by his firm eyes. He believes that one day, he will definitely make a blockbuster!

But immediately, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he recalled that at noon that day, the officers and soldiers entered the village and captured all the people in Tucheng, some were dragged to the battlefield to serve as cannon fodder, while some were caught here to mine all day, and some were missing. After that day, Mo Yiming never saw his parents again.

It wasn't until he came here that Mo Yiming discovered that it was not just the people from Tucheng who were arrested.

The people who came here from Tucheng, in addition to themselves, Lei Xiao, and a young man who was staring at them at the moment. The young man was dressed in black armor, which made his not-so-strong body much stronger. He wore a hat on his head, probably because it was raining at dawn, and he had not yet had time to take it off. His eyes were fixed on the thunder, motionless, full of pride, like a hunter looking at the prey in his hands.

In fact, when he was in Tucheng, he had a good relationship with Mo Yiming and Lei Xiao. It's just that after coming here, he quickly changed. Power made him lose himself!

His name is Zhang Xun, he is the same age as Mo Yiming, and on the first day he came here, he was like Mo Yiming, carrying a hammer, constantly knocking on the big stones on the mountain, mining even a little bit of iron here. The iron would be smelted by the guards and cast into weapons. The next day, he talked to the chief worker here, and then on the third day, he rubbed the shoulders and backs of the sitting chief worker, and after about half a month, he became the overseer here.

Li Xun, who was the overseer, seemed to be a different person, and his eyes flashed with hatred. When he looked at Mo Yiming and Lei Xiao, his expression was very strange.

At this moment, Li Xun was slowly walking towards Lei Xiao's position, holding a rolled leather whip in his hand, and patting his palm from time to time. There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and there was an indescribable evil pleasure in that smile.

Lei Xiao didn't notice Li Xun's arrival.

"Smack!"

The leather whip whipped on Lei Xiao's back hatefully, and suddenly left a deep blood mark on Lei Xiao's back.

The sudden bone-piercing pain caused Thunder Roar to scream violently, which alarmed all the people who were mining, and they all turned their eyes to Thunder Roar.

"Let you be lazy and not work!"

"Smack!"

As he spoke, another whip fell, and it hit the same position, and the moment the whip touched the thunder, blood suddenly came out, and where the whip fell, the flesh and blood were already cracked.

Thunder screamed and rolled to the side.

But Li Xun, who was holding a leather whip, did not let go of the thunder in the slightest, and the viciousness in his eyes erupted like flames. It made his face look hideous and distorted at the moment.

Before the words "let you ......" were finished, the leather whip had already taken the momentum, and when the leather whip passed through the air, it even brought gusts of wind, and the strength was so great that you can imagine it.

fell to the ground and Lei Xiao was about to dodge, but suddenly found that Mo Yiming on the side caught the falling leather whip.

After this whip fell into Mo Yiming's hand, Mo Yiming trembled slightly, gritted his teeth, and endured the pain in his palm, he looked at Li Xun, who was extremely displeased, and said: "Li Xun, for the sake of us all Tucheng people, let go of the thunder." ”

Li Xun was stunned at first, he didn't expect that Mo Yiming would catch the leather whip he swung off with his bare hands, he also knew how much strength he used for this whip, and he understood that at this moment, in Mo Yiming's hands, there must have been deep blood marks, even if Mo Yiming's palm was already covered with calluses accumulated over the years!

"Tucheng? I'm not from that place anymore...... Am I familiar with you? Why let him go? Besides, my name is Supervisor Li, not Li Xun! ”

When Li Xun spoke, he suddenly pulled out the leather whip that fell in Mo Yiming's hand, causing Mo Yiming to shrink his hand and take two steps back, his expression showing pain.

Even so, Mo Yiming was afraid that in the next second, Li Xun would swing the whip at Lei Xiao again, he had learned Li Xun's methods and knew what kind of person Li Xun was. Hurriedly said: "Yes, Supervisor Li, please let go of Lei Xiao." ”

Li Xun smiled lightly, showing disdain, but compared to the previous yin and evil, it was much better. He deliberately leaned his head closer to Mo Yiming and said, "I didn't hear what you said clearly." ”

Mo Yiming understood the meaning of Li Xun's words, he didn't want to let himself speak louder. Instead, he wanted to beg him, which would make him feel proud.

"Supervisor Li, please spare Lei Xiao."

Even though Mo Yiming didn't want to beg Li Xun very much, he couldn't wait to give Li Xun a few hammers in front of him, but he knew that if he did this, not only would he die here, but Lei Xiao would also bury him. He knew better that as long as he had the slightest hesitation, the leather whip in Li Xun's hand was very likely to fall on Lei Xiao's body again. So his voice was loud and he fell very decisively.

"Zhang Xun! No wonder the immortals said back then that you had a bad mind and no cultivation of wisdom. You have the ability to bully us, why don't you go to the battlefield and kill the enemy! You deserve not to be taken away by the immortals! ”

Lei Xiao clenched his fists, his body was half-squatting and couldn't stand up, whenever he saw Mo Yiming pleading with Zhang Xun, there was infinite anger in his heart. He knows what kind of person Mo Yiming is usually, and he knows his unyielding and tenacious. But now, for his own sake, he has begged Zhang Xun countless times. Therefore, his voice was very loud, fell into Zhang Xun's ears, roared into his ears like thunder, echoed in Zhang Xun's mind, and even made all the miners' bodies tremble violently, thinking that thunder was not far from death. They knew very well what would happen to the overseers here.

They have seen those who once resisted being beaten to death, and those who had escaped were captured and their legs broken and abandoned in the wilderness. They didn't even dare to shake their heads in a sigh.

The fear of pain and death, as well as the screams before death, made their resistance numb!

But no one seems to know that at this time, Zhang Xun's thoughts returned to the rainy night that he couldn't forget many years ago.

In the land of Nanshan, every five years, monks will enter various villages and tribes to select people who have cultivated Huigen, bring them back to the sect, and cultivate the Great Dao. But there is only one such place, among his peers, Zhang Xun in Tucheng has been extremely smart since he was a child, and he is as powerful as an ox, and he once hunted a tonnage of porcupines empty-handed. In everyone's eyes, he was the one who could enter the sect's cultivation avenue. The whole village is proud. Such an aura lingered in his body, never retreating.

It wasn't until the immortals came to Tucheng that he tapped the young man's head one by one, and when he shook his head helplessly, he pointed on Zhang Xun's head. His fingertips stayed on Zhang Xun's forehead for a moment, but then he frowned again: "You originally cultivated the wisdom root, but your mental technique will lead you astray when cultivating the Great Dao in the future. When I test the others, if none of them have cultivated the wisdom root, I will take you away. If so, don't blame the deity for being ruthless. ”

Zhang Xun nodded, his eyes showed a frenzy that he had never felt before, especially when there was only the last one left, he could clearly hear his heartbeat accelerating, this acceleration made him can't help but look at the last one, Lei Xiao.

In his opinion, this fat man, who usually only herds cattle, cannot have a cultivation of Huigen!

But when the immortal nodded at Lei Xiao's forehead, his body trembled slightly, his eyes showed a look of surprise, and a flash of essence flashed: "Little fat man, are you willing to go back to the sect with me to cultivate?" ”

However, after hesitating for a moment, Lei Xiao shook his head and refused in all the envious, jealous and hateful eyes. This place, if given up, will not fall to anyone else.

So when the immortal turned into Changhong and left, Zhang Xun begged the sky, and knelt for a day on a rainy night to show his sincerity, but to no avail. At that time, the hatred for Lei Xiao had already grown.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Xun didn't show too much hatred, but it had already entered the bone marrow. At this moment, he had a chance to take revenge, so his hatred surged out, and he said with an evil smile: "Even if you have Huigen, you are still my prisoner, an ant in your hand!" As the words fell, he slowly squatted down, approached Lei Xiao, and continued: "Whenever I want you to die, you will die. Tell me, what is the use of your wisdom...... But I don't want you to die so soon. ”

After speaking, Li Xun stood up, breathed a sigh of relief, and left with his hands. After taking two steps, his body suddenly paused, turned his head to look at Lei Xiao, and said gently: "I don't know, if I don't give you food, why are you still so fat...... If you are so fat, your body is not good, how can you work, tonight, you still don't eat. ”

Watching Li Xun leave, Lei Xiao gritted his teeth, the hatred in his heart did not decrease, during this time, if it weren't for the quiet relief of Xie Lao and Mo Yiming, I am afraid that he would have starved to death.

"If I had the chance, I would have to kill this son of a bitch." Lei Xiao gritted his teeth and said.

"Stay in the green mountains, don't worry about no firewood."

While speaking, Mo Yiming helped Lei Xiao to stand up. But his gaze was not far from the mine, where the sound of running water often sounded. Although he had never been there, he speculated that it should be a canyon, and it seemed to be the only way to escape. But it is extremely difficult to escape to that canyon, after all, the iron chains on your feet will alarm all the guards when you walk. As long as he is found by the guards and escapes, there is only one way to die, so what Mo Yiming has to wait for now is an opportunity, and this opportunity requires the right time, place and ......

His thoughts were spinning rapidly in his mind, and Mo Yiming didn't know if he would have his life after jumping into that canyon. But he knew that if he stayed here, he would only end up being tortured to death.

He looked up at the sky and saw the clouds gathering rapidly. Mo Yiming's eyebrows furrowed slightly, thoughtfully.
