At night.

The miners and slaves were receiving their food, and the people in the mining area where the teenager was located were only getting half of their usual food, because they had only been mining for half a day.

It's not enough to wrap your stomach, but no one dares to complain.

The boy was already accustomed to the feeling of hunger, and as long as he couldn't die, nothing mattered.

Occasionally, there are elderly and weak people who do too little work to get enough food to survive.

These people either starved to death, or they fought for food and were dragged by the Oniyan to feed their mounts.

This is probably the end of the miner slaves.

As they devoured it, a powerful aura suddenly descended from the sky, pressing these people to their waists, and then dozens of figures broke into the mine, killing all the overseers in the mine cleanly.

Only two people were left to guard, and the rest of the people rushed to the mining area where the teenager worked.

The boy didn't know what was going on, and it seemed to have something to do with the anomalies in the mine, but none of that was his supposed concern.

These people only left two people to guard, and those two people were talking and laughing at the moment, and they didn't pay attention to the miner slaves, which was a perfect opportunity, and the mine supervisor had been killed, and it was easy for him to escape.

Without hesitation, the boy quietly blended into the frightened crowd, walked briskly through it, and escaped from the crowd with the help of some minecarts and boulders.

The boy found the abandoned mine, took the bag given to him by the old man, took out half a healing pill from the bag, ate it, and walked along a path he was familiar with, at the end of the road was the edge of the mine, and all in front of him were steep cliffs, the top of which was undulating and full of strange boulders.

At a glance, the entire cliff wall looks like a sleeping monster, which may turn over at any time, causing a huge movement of landslides and ground cracks, which is daunting.

The boy looked up at the sky, although he didn't see the bright moon, but the bright moonlight had already shot from the sky behind the cliff, the reason why he chose this time and this place was because in the cloudless night sky, the bright and bright light of the bright moon slanted over, which would make the cliff face that was already shrouded in night even darker, and then he was able to climb to the top of the cliff and escape from this mine without being discovered.

The boy adjusted slightly, and in about half an hour, his arm was completely restored. Just as he was about to climb, he suddenly heard two light coughs and was immediately taken aback, but after careful identification, it seemed to be the voice of the old man.

At this time, a person walked out of the dark corner, and the young man suddenly felt vigilant and hostile, but after seeing that face clearly, all vigilance and hostility disappeared in an instant.

"Old man, why are you here? Do you want to get out of here too? The boy couldn't help but be surprised.

"No, no, no, the old man's skeleton can't afford to toss at all." The old man shook his head and said.

"What about you...... But what do you have to say? ”

The old man's face became serious, and he said: "Baby, although the world outside is wonderful, but there are more dangers, and you must remember that no matter what kind of people you meet, no matter how good others are to you, you can't completely trust them!" ”

"Well, I see." The teenager responded.

The old man could see that the boy did not take his words to heart, and he continued: "Do you know the reason why you escaped three times and were captured three times and were still alive? In addition to the fact that you still have a little value, the biggest reason is that the life of the mine supervisor is too boring, and if you run out, they will have an excuse to go out and have fun. It's easy for them to kill you, and you can only survive based on their filthy desires, do you really understand? ”

"Life is very cheap, in this treacherous world, the only thing you can trust is yourself!"

The old man's words struck the boy's heart, reminding him of the time when he had not been a slave in the mines.

Ten years ago, he woke up in a hellish sea of fire, and after leaving the fire, he wandered in an endless red land until hunger hit his whole body, and finally fainted.

When he woke up again, it was in a big cave, and there were about thirty people, and when they saw him wake up, they all had a simple smile on their faces.

Since then, he has lived with these people, who have taken care of him, taught him the skills of survival, the principles of life.

This life lasted for less than two months, and several Ghost Yan people appeared, killing all the old, weak, sick and disabled, and those who would rather die than obey were also killed, leaving only a dozen of them who were terrified, and were taken to this mine and assigned to different mining areas.

What the boy longed for was the carefree and happy life of ten years ago, but the old man told him that the outside world was as cruel as this mine, but it was not as cruel as this mine.

……

The old man told the story:

In order to get the sword in the young man's hand, the greedy man secretly followed all the way, and in a deserted place, he and a group of accomplices snatched the young man's sword and threw the young man into the lake.

Fortunately, the young man knew that disaster was coming, and he pretended to be dead and escaped.

……

One man and woman are in love, the other man and woman are from the same place, he also likes this woman, but he doesn't show it, he doesn't seem to hate this man, and even they have a deep friendship between them, and the three of them go together to roam the mountains and rivers.

However, after gaining enough trust, he used trickery to trap the man in a doomous situation, while the woman knew nothing about the truth, and finally became disheartened and chose to return to his hometown.

……

……

The old man told the boy seven stories, each of which made the boy realize how terrible the intrigue between people was.

But he had ever felt the most sincere care, and at least he could prove that there was real beauty in the outside world, even if it was insignificant in the face of danger, it was better than this dark mine.

Thinking of this, the boy became extremely determined.

The old man saw the young man's determined eyes, and remembered that the young man had escaped from the mine three times, and that the latter had an easy and unshakable will, so he was relieved.

"You can't go out without a name, you will be called Chihuang in the future." The old man gave the boy a name.

The slaves in the mines were stripped of their names, with only one number, and over time, the numb people could no longer remember their names.

"Old man, does the name mean anything?" Chihuang couldn't help but ask.

The old man replied, "A long time ago, this is the hero of the Red Demon Clan's folklore who rebelled against oppression, and he fought all his life to finally set the Red Demon Clan free. ”

"You are also Chihuang now, you have to complete your mission and turn this legendary character into reality!" As he spoke, the old man took out a piece of jade with a poor texture and a very rough carving technique and put it in the young man's hand.

The young man took the jade and looked at it, and saw that its surface was as smooth as a mirror, but the carving was extremely abstract, and he could vaguely see that it was the appearance of a moth fluttering.

"What is this?" Chihuang was puzzled and asked.

The old man told him: "Fifty years ago, there was a young man here, also named Chihuang, who, like you, was unwilling to be bound to this mine, and he carefully prepared an escape plan to help him escape. Later, he became a chivalrous man, traveled all over the world, and was captured back to the mine by the Ghost Yan people eight years later, abolished his cultivation, and became a waste. ”

"All his life, he has been fighting for freedom until death, this jade is his belief, giving you this, I hope you will carry his last wish and go on well."

The boy was somewhat sympathetic to this man's tragic experience, "Then what happened to this person in the end?" ”

"Dead, dead for decades...... It is better to destroy people's cultivation than to take people's lives, for him, death may be a kind of relief......" The old man lamented, "Don't be brave for a while, honor and dignity can be regained with strength, but once you lose your life, there is nothing." ”

The old man turned and walked towards the mine, trembling, his weak body as if he was about to fall at any moment.

After walking more than ten steps, the old man turned his head and glanced at the young man, the frost and the moon were cold, the white hair was shining, and the vicissitudes of life could not be seen at a glance. Remember, remember! ”

The rickety's back was stretched very long, and under the gaze of the teenager, it disappeared little by little.

"Thank you, old man. Take care ......"

Chihuang held the jade in the palm of his hand and prayed silently.

……

……

The difficulty of climbing the cliff in front of him is extremely high, and even if the boy has succeeded several times, he does not dare to underestimate it in the slightest.

It took the boy two hours to climb to the top of the cliff, during which he tensed his nerves and was cautious, but he still stepped on the air three times, almost breaking his bones.

Climbing to the top of the cliff, the boy immediately felt exhausted, so he lay down, gasping for breath, and he felt a little afraid when he remembered Fang Cai's thrilling encounter.

After resting for a moment and regaining some strength, the boy got up and looked at the mine that had bound him for ten years, when suddenly, he saw a strong burst of fire shining brightly, illuminating the sky.

It was expected, and it had something to do with the scorching spirit mine.

The boy turned around and walked on a bumpy road, heading in an unknown direction.

From today on, his name is Chihuang, and he wants to live.
