Chapter 04: The Messenger Arrives
"Don't resist, stay calm. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Li Dang quietly reminded Wuyan and Tie Ge, and stuffed the little crow Zhentian into his underwear.
Fortunately, Li Dang was thin to the limit, and the little crow was very well-behaved, sticking to his chest and hiding, which also made Li Dang look a little strong, but it couldn't attract the attention of those fierce guards.
Soon, everyone was assigned, Li Kang, Wuyan and Tie Ge were all assigned to the same group, and the guards gave the three of them the same black short clothes, put a heavy handcuff on their hands, blended into the group, and lined up in an orderly manner.
After everything was ready, under the command of the guards, we walked in the direction of the city gate in front.
Boulder Ridge, although it is a mountainous area, has everything here, and the streets are very neatly built, similar to towns, and on both sides of the streets, there are several free hotels, entertainment halls and gladiatorial arenas. The so-called entertainment hall here is no different from the real Qinglou, the only difference is that it is free, but it is not open to slaves, only a place for the guards to relax. The so-called gladiatorial arena is completely a place where slaves fight to the death, allowing the guards to see the easy game.
As soon as he entered the town, he heard the screams and the wanton laughter of the guards, and the shouts of some fists and drinks, and from time to time a few strong men would gather on both sides of the street, and they would take up the emaciated slaves and beat them with iron whips, and the wails of the slaves made everyone's bodies tremble, and even the flagpoles outside the hotels and entertainment halls were full of dead people's heads.
This is a mine, and it's clearly a sin city.
All the slaves bowed their heads obediently and marched through the town in a procession, and in front of them was an endless mountain, and under the corner of the mountain, a bottomless pit was particularly conspicuous.
"Stand, stand!" the guards pushed the slaves in an orderly manner beside the pit.
Li Dang smuggled up his spiritual power and turned it into his eyes, looked towards the big pit, and it was black and went straight into the ground, and he couldn't see the bottom at all, and he could only vaguely see a ray of red light flashing in the depths of the big pit.
"Here, you have completely lost your freedom, you don't need to speak, as long as you are obedient and work hard, there will be good food and drink, if anyone dares to resist, look at this ......" The giant man stretched out his finger and pointed to several iron rods erected next to the big pit.
Everyone followed his fingers and looked towards the iron rod, and saw countless dry corpses hanging from it.
"Are you watching?" The giant man showed a hideous smile: "I know that there are several Heavenly God Stage cultivators among you, I will say hello to you in advance, if anyone dares to resist, I don't need to say anything about the end, it will definitely make your life worse than death." But, if you behave well, you'll have a chance to become a guard here for two years, but only if you survive these two years! Okay, let's stop talking nonsense with you, let's get to work now!!Everyone follow me down the mine!!"
All the slaves, escorted by the guards, walked towards the cave, and the fine flint mine cavern went deep into the ground, and walked for a full day, and the team only had the intention of slowing down slightly, but the clouds and mist under the cave added a little fear.
Li Dang took advantage of the faint firelight to look around, within a radius of dozens of miles, it had already been hollowed out, and the layers of dust and mist could not only see the range of tens of meters at all, tens of thousands of slaves were still opening the mountain with iron pickaxes. The guards were swinging their iron whips and whipping the slower slaves. The screams in the cavern never stopped.
Only occasionally would slaves dig up fine flint from the mines, which is a very rare material for forging weapons. However, the mine is extremely hot due to the ultra-high temperature of this material, and even on both sides of the road, there will be deep fire pits, and the earth fire is burning in the pit, making this place really become a purgatory on earth!!
It is precisely because of the rarity of this kind of fine flint stone that it has become a priceless treasure on the market, so the Jinlin Holy Sect does not hesitate to consume a lot of manpower to mine it. If any of the slaves were lucky enough to pick up a piece of flint, they would get three days of rest, and if the flint stone was dug up to a sufficient standard, they would even have the opportunity to go to the entertainment hall for an indulgence!
These conditions are absolutely imaginary temptations for slaves who have lost their freedom to work every day.
"The three of you will follow Qiao to supervise the work in the future!" the golden-armored guards pushed Li Kang, Wuyan, and Tie Ge in front of a man with a meaty face.
"Well, it's good......" Supervisor Qiao looked at Li Kang and the three of them coldly, and danced the iron whip in his hand from time to time, showing his unique majesty: "Listen to the master, give you half a day to rest, and then start working, every day to complete the tasks assigned to you by the master on time, who dares to have the slightest intention of slacking off, I found out, not only will I not give you food, but also let you continue to work, remember, 202, it will be your room in the future." ”
After Supervisor Qiao finished speaking, he pointed to a dark room not far away and said, "I heard that you are all masters of the Heavenly God Stage, but I can warn you, under my hands, you must learn to be obedient, go in and rest!"
"Yes!" Li Dang hurriedly moved, and it was not until after Supervisor Qiao left that he approached his black room. Inside, there were three simple slab beds side by side, with no bedding at all, just a pile of blackened straw that smelled of strong must.
Tie Ge walked directly to the innermost bed, directly put the black clothes like prison clothes on his body, and sat on the bed to close his eyes and recuperate.
Li Kang also put on his prison clothes, took out half of the straw on the bed, threw himself under the bed, put the little crow Zhentian under the bed, looked at Wuyan, and both of them lay down on their beds.
Perhaps because of their tiredness, the two of them unconsciously fell asleep.
......
In the glittering palace just outside the very center of town in Boulder Ridge.
The strong financial resources of the Jinlin Holy Sect have decorated this palace extremely luxuriously, although this palace is located in the purgatory of the world, but it is the most famous boudoir in Tongzhou. Because of the sister of the head of the Jinlin Holy Sect, the private residence of the largest beauty in Tongzhou.
In the depths of the palace, the wide white jade bed was covered with a thick brocade quilt, and a sultry figure, wearing a thin layer of pink pajamas, a bewitching woman was lying on her back, looking from a distance, this woman's skin was as transparent as white jade, and her long black hair covered half of her face, but half of her face was exposed, which was enough to make any man fall for it.
This woman is none other than Shangguan Ying, the first beauty in Tongzhou and the sister of the leader of the Jinlin Holy Sect
"Dangdang Dang!" came a soft knock on the jade door.
"Come in!" Shangguan Ying lightly opened her lips.
A handsome slave girl walked in outside the door, and walked quickly to Shangguan Ying's bed: "Qiqi Holy Aunt, the left hall master asks to see him, saying that he has something important to discuss with you!"
"Bring him in! I'll wait for him here. Shangguan Ying was served by the maid, and her soft and boneless jade body leaned on the head of the bed.
"Yes!"
The pretty slave quickly retreated, there was not much time, a middle-aged man with a heroic appearance strode in, this man's face was slightly blackened, but next to the resolute face, showing the handsomeness of a mature man, the tiger's back and bee waist, just made him show the heroic and extraordinary, even that every move, there was any girl's infatuated spirit.
The middle-aged man was followed by two powerful Golden God Stage powerhouses, and then followed by more than 20 golden-armored guards, after these gold-armored guards walked into the main hall, they all knelt on the ground and shouted respectfully: "See the Holy Aunt, wish the Holy Aunt eternal youth, and the magic power is boundless!"
"Hmm! get up!" Shangguan Ying waved his hand casually, and the gold-armored guards stood up and respectfully stepped aside.
Shangguan Ying looked at the middle-aged man coldly, and her round lips stopped talking.
The man naturally saw his eyes, looked back at the two golden gods beside him, frowned slightly, and made a look, the two hurriedly lowered their heads and retreated to the side of the golden armor guard.
"Zuo Fengyang, why are you here?" Shangguan Ying beckoned to the slave girl on the side, and the slave girl hurriedly took a white robe and gently draped it on Shangguan Ying's body.
"Hahaha, Sister Ying, can't I, as a cousin, come and see you?" Zuo Fengyang sat on the jade chair beside him.
"Seeing that I don't need it, you can tell me if you have something! For the sake of these slaves, I have never rested for half a year. ”
"I know you've worked hard, that's why I came to see you. ”
"That's not necessary, let's just say it!"
"Okay, Sister Ying'er is straightforward, then I'll be straightforward, I heard that there are frequent accidents in your mine now?"
"What?" Shangguan Ying gently raised her jade hand and supported the hair on her forehead, another beautiful woman's style, which made people reverie again and again: "Zuo Fengyang, you know, the mines in Jushiling have been mined for more than 3,000 years, and some accidents are inevitable, do you still want to ask me about my crimes?"
"That'...... Isn't that ......" Zuo Fengyang's eyes stared directly at Shangguan Ying's jade arm, and after a long time, he swallowed his saliva: "Where do I dare to ask Ying'er about the sins of Ying'er's sister?!" It's just that this incident has alarmed the sect leader, and the sect leader is also afraid that the slaves in the mine will suffer too many casualties, coupled with the difficulty of supply, will delay the production of our fine flint. ”
"Hmm?!Zuo Fengyang, you can go back to the errand now, tell my brother, don't worry about him, this time, I brought back 18,000 slaves, it won't take long, the next batch will be delivered immediately." ”
"Okay, Sister Ying'er has always been clever in handling things, in fact, when I saw you, I already knew how to answer the sect leader's questions. ”
"Then you're still here?" Shangguan Ying glared at Zuo Fengyang coquettishly.
Zuo Fengyang perked up, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip: "Actually, there is one more thing that is the most important, I didn't want to speak, but the sect leader's order is difficult." ”
"What's the matter?"
"Sister Ying'er should have heard of the Five Permanent Sect, right?"
"Naturally, I've heard that it's just a second-rate gang. ”
"Today's Five Permanent Sect is no longer the Five Permanent Sect of other days, in recent years, the Five Permanent Sect has developed rapidly, and their sect leader inadvertently got a very peculiar special supernatural power, directly broke through into the true god level, some time ago married the pearl of the palm of the Wuji Pavilion Lord, in terms of overall strength, it is already the third largest gang after our Jinlin Holy Sect. ”
