Volume 1 Gods and Demons in Troubled Times Chapter 31 The Mine.
Crouching Tiger Mountain, the ruined seven-star dart game.
Wu Niang Zhen did not carry the burden, stepped over the collapsed door wall, and gently fell on the stone lion that was smashed off half of his head at the door with one hand rubbed back and forth, and looked back, there were several temporary sheds in the ruins of a broken wall, but no one came to see him off.
Wu Niang Zhen did not step on the stone road down the mountain, Pi Yixia and Zhao Qiliang on the hillside in the distance looked from afar, and saw the figure of Wu Niang Zhen Bu disappearing under the hillside, Pi Yixia said: "I hope Wu Niang will live a good life in the future!"
Zhao Qiliang was silent, and a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes.
After a long time, Zhao Qiliang was a little unwilling, and suddenly asked, "Third brother, did you say that the eldest brother will come back?"
Pi Yixia, who still looked like a scholar, pulled the corners of his mouth, licked his lips, held the half-burned pu fan in his hand, looked at the seven-star dart game that was waiting to be revived, and said softly: "Yes! Big brother, they will come back!"
Zhao Qiliang's eyes were hazy, even if he was clear in his heart, he still wanted to keep a little hope.
Pi Yixia shrugged his nose and said to Zhao Qiliang: "Sixth brother, in the future, the two of us will rebuild the seven-star dart game, so that no matter where the eldest brother goes, if they hear that the dart game is up again, they will definitely come back!"
Zhao Qiliang nodded with a wry smile and said, "Third brother, where do we start first?"
Pi Yixia looked at the sky, looked to the north, and said with a smile: "Let's build a garden on the open space in the north first, so that the eldest brother can enjoy the scenery when they come back!"
In a trance, a gust of wind blew, and the two people on the hillside felt nervous, and they didn't know what the wind would bring to the two, and the two of them looked at the dilapidated dart game, maybe it was a better seven-star dart game!
Wu Niang Zhen on the way down the mountain was melancholy, walking fluttering under her feet, only to feel a little uncomfortable but there was no place to vent, and she couldn't help but want to scold. Halfway through, a young man in front of him was lying on the dirt slope next to him, dressed in a green shirt of arrowroot, holding a dog's tail grass in his mouth, swinging up and down, a straw hat covering the upper half of his face, one foot on the ground, and the other foot was stepping on the dirt slope, humming an unknown folk song in his mouth.
Wu Niang Zhen didn't even look at it, so she walked straight over, but after walking for a while, the young man appeared on the dirt slope in front of him again, still in the same posture just now, without a trace of change, Wu Niang Zhen didn't have any doubts in her heart, but she didn't want to care, but her steps became faster and faster.
Approaching the foot of the mountain, when the young man reappeared, Wu Niang Zhen took out the willow knife hanging with him without hesitation, and shouted to the young man: "Who are you? Why do you block my way again and again?"
The young man didn't respond, as if it was just a joke, Wu Niang Zhen didn't point at the motionless young man without the tip of the knife, moved under his feet, and slowly leaned down the mountain, and after a few feet away from the young man, he put the knife into the sheath and ran quickly towards the bottom of the mountain.
Wu Niang Zhen Bu just walked out of a hundred and ten steps, but saw a tall young man with his back to him, blocking the middle of the road, and the slightly exposed dog tail grass made Wu Niang Zhen not angry, and scolded loudly: "What's the matter with you? Do you see that the old lady is easy to bully? Have you not asked who the old lady is? Or do you want to lay on the edge of the pit and look for death?"
The tall young man turned around, put a straw hat on his head, and read softly: "Seven Star Dart Bureau, Wu Niang Zhen No, it really deserves its reputation!"
"Since you've heard of the old lady's name, don't hurry up and get out of the way!" If you keep dissuading me, don't blame me for being ruthless," Wu Niang gestured and was about to draw her knife.
The tall strange young man, with his hands spread, showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, and said: "Wu Niang, don't worry, I was ordered to come to look for you, and there is no malice, can you listen to me talk to you first?"
Wu Niang's eyes were full of anger, and her suspicion was unabated, and she held the handle of the knife with her right hand and walked around the young man, and only when she walked behind the young man did she say it: "Then you can talk about it first!"
The tall young man cleared his throat and first introduced himself: "My name is Ruoxin, I am from Ximingzhou. ”
"Then what are you looking for me for?" Wu Niang interrupted impatiently.
"Wu Niang, do you have a torn blue page, and you happen to be able to read it?"
Wu Niang Zhen was about to nod unconsciously, but before she fell, she hurriedly shook her head and said loudly, "Why are you asking this?"
Ruoxin smiled, tilted his head and spit out the dog's tail grass in his mouth, and said: "My duty is to bring the people who are destined to get this blue page in this world to Ximingzhou. ”
"What are you doing in Ximingzhou?"
"When you arrive, you'll know!
"I... You... Wu Niang Zhen didn't want to refuse, but was waved by Ruoxin, who had his back to him, and was directly fainted inexplicably, Ruoxin immediately called out a wooden boat, picked up the fainted Wu Niang, placed it on it, and then drove the wooden boat to the sky, with the wind whistling.
Luoxiazhou Quchi Ling Gold Mine.
Quchi is an unknown town in Luoxiazhou, surrounded by deep mountains and old forests, and diplomacy is extremely inconvenient, outsiders are difficult to find the way into the mountain, and the mountain road is rugged, often out of the mountain for a day or two, so the local villagers here basically do not go outside, in this town can be self-sufficient only by relying on the thousands of miles of mountains and forests around them.
In a ravine a hundred miles away from Quchi Town, thorns and thorns are everywhere, and there seems to be nothing unusual on the surface, just like the deep mountains and old forests that are rarely visited, but the ripples on the magic circle from time to time are not so simple. At this time, the ripples from time to time are stimulated by someone when they enter and exit this magic circle, if you leave this gate magic circle, there will be a lot of articles inside, but ordinary mountain people will only go around by themselves without knowing it, and they will not be able to perceive that there is another world a few steps away.
Within the magic circle, the aura was dense, and a huge mine came into view, and constantly colorful light erupted from all over the mines, falling in the air for a long time, condensing into a colorful glow. Fifty steps away from the mine hole, there are several bases buried in the ground, the three-legged bronze molten tripod that is higher than half of the body, the tripod body is engraved with gluttonous patterns, floating with divine light, the bottom of the molten tripod has this blazing earth fire burning, in the tripod in the original mineralization of the spirit gold into "water", and then the top purified "water" will flow out along a small mouth around the tripod, through a "water" channel, to a stone hall not far away where the doors and windows are closed, but there is a knocking sound non-stop.
On the other side of the mine, there is a binding circle built of magic weapons and chains, and many staggered sheds have been built with trees in the magic circle, and it can be seen that a row of thin miners wearing shackles and feet are slowly walking out of the sheds with hoes and dustpans, and after walking through a short silent stone road, they finally walk into the colorful mine cave in turn.
At the same time, there are also miners who are coming out of the mine on the side, most of them are floating on the ground under their feet, and the dustpans they carry on their shoulders are filled with some large and small glowing spiritual gold, and the miners line up to a fixed melt tripod, pour the spiritual gold in the dustpan into it without reservation, and then shine up and down a fist-sized colorless gem in the hands of the fierce black-clothed guard on the side, and then return to the wooden shed to rest for a while without any abnormality.
Just as everything was going on, suddenly a miner with the head of a deer passed by the guard, his eyes flashed back and forth, and when the guard held the gem in his hand, he hurriedly raised his head and pretended to look into the distance, but the gem was still glowing with misty fluorescence, and suddenly the miner "plopped!" and fell to his knees, spat out people's words, and begged for mercy loudly: "My lord, spare me! I don't dare anymore!"
The black-clothed guard directly slapped the deer in the face with his backhand, and immediately the deer-headed miners fell out, and the antlers on the head that were already mutilated were directly broken at this moment, leaving only the roots, and there were blood stains oozing out of it, and then flowing to the face, but the miners didn't care about it so much, and hurriedly got up, knelt down on the ground, and kept knocking their heads on the rocky road, "Bang!"
The black-clothed guard muffled, "Hand it over!"
"Spare me, sir! I don't dare again!"
"Hand it over!! the black-clothed guard took off the whip from his waist and threw it on the ground, and a terrifying sound resounded through the mine.
The kneeling miner was extremely frightened, so he had to grit his teeth and endure the pain to tear open a piece of fur on his flank, and took out a small piece of bloodstained spiritual gold hidden under the fur, the guard took the spiritual gold without looking at it, and threw it into the molten ding, and then with a wave of his hand, two low-level guards in green clothes and hair stepped forward to clamp the miner, and after removing the shackles of his hands and feet, he threw it into the nearest molten ding, and a non-stop roar and wail sounded in the ding, and after turning into a wisp of green smoke, it returned to quiet, and the spiritual gold in the molten ding, with a pair of frightened eyes of the miners on the side, flowed into the distance。
But there were also a few miners at the top of the shed, staring at all of them with cold eyes.
Xiluo, who left from Wohu Mountain, put Lu Xiao at the staggered trunk of the plum blossom spirit branch, let him fall aside, and grabbed the branch by instinct, but he was still standing at the front of the plum blossom spirit branch, his clothes fluttering, full of heroism.
When he came to this Quchi mine, a spiritual gold token flashed in Xiluo's hand, which was made by the secret method of Shui Xuanzong, and the token flashed dazzlingly, and Xiluo immediately controlled the plum blossom spirit branch to pass through the barrier of the magic circle without hindrance, and after an instant, the ripples on the magic circle also disappeared.
Everywhere the stream fell, the mine guards all smiled, their eyes showed reverence, but those miners did not dare to raise their heads, if once they were seen by the guards, it would be disrespectful, and they would be whipped by the guards, and they would not die or live.
Entering the mine, the stream did not take his eyes off and went straight to a resting place across the mountain from the mine, where there were several courtyards, rich in vegetation and the fragrance of birds and flowers, which were completely different from those in the mine.
When he landed, Lu Xiao woke up slowly, as if in a dream, and when he saw the stream walking by, he hurriedly asked, "Senior nephew, how is my brother?"
The brook didn't look back, but a voice came: "He didn't die, he was rescued." ”
Lu Xiao held his forehead and sat up, before he could sit comfortably, the plum blossom spirit branch under his buttocks disappeared suddenly, and Lu Xiao fell to the ground with his buttocks, but Lu Xiao instantly crouched down and stood up, stood up, and looked at the surrounding scenery worriedly.
