"Ho-ho-ho-"

Wu Tao woke up from the nightmare, propped his hands on the hardwood bed, and opened his mouth wide, like a drowning man, gasping for air. Cold sweat dripped down his forehead and smashed against the hardwood bed, making a low, dull sound in the dark and cramped cabin.

That nightmare, he seemed to be in endless darkness, overwhelmed by panic and fear. Suddenly, an inexplicable horror struck in the darkness...... devoured everything, including him.

"Ahem......"

Gradually, he began to cough violently again, his whole body was shaking, and there was a kind of formation that wanted to cough out his heart and lungs.

After a while, Wu Tao calmed down.

At this time, the sound of miners speaking sounded outside.

"It's right."

Wu Taoxin said, tucked the quilt and got up from the bed, "hiss", he gasped, only to find that his single clothes had been wet with cold sweat, leaving the warmth of the quilt, the biting cold air was like cold water pouring through the whole body.

He hurriedly put the quilt back, trembling and touching the oil lamp and the fire fold, and when he blew it, the light of the fire fold brought him some peace.

The lights were like beans, dispelling the darkness of the miner's room.

He tightened the quilt on his body, sat on the bed with a bow, and casually took a bronze mirror on the table, in which an emaciated face appeared, and the black mark on his forehead seemed to be more spread than yesterday. Putting down the bronze mirror, Wu Tao looked at the jumping bean fire in a daze, and unconsciously, he felt two lines of warmth slip through his cheeks.

"Damn, why did you wear it?"

Wu Tao wiped his tears indiscriminately, and his heart was full of despair.

A day ago, he was also one of the thousands of 996 social animals in Bluestar, born in the countryside, came to the big city alone, conscientious, thirty-two years old, finally survived to a monthly salary of 13,000, bought a house in his hometown county in full, scraped together enough 100,000 bride price, and was qualified to marry his older blind date girlfriend who worked in a convenience store with a monthly salary of 3,000.

The victory of life is in sight, the game is about to be cleared, and the goal is almost a shot, why is it worn?

"Damn, thief, what did I do wrong to punish me like this?"

Wu Tao was strongly unwilling.

After absorbing the memories of the original owner, Wu Tao knew the situation of this body with the same name and surname as him. It can be described as 'terrible, life hangs by a thread'. Although he is an immortal cultivator, he is a casual cultivator at the lowest level of the immortal cultivation world, but he is a second-level cultivator of qi refining.

Loose cultivation, no background, low cultivation; In this demonic and evil world of immortal cultivation, it is difficult to control even one's own life.

Not to mention the cultivation resources.

Some territories with aura and resources are occupied by the immortal cultivation faction.

Therefore, casual cultivators like him mostly work for the immortal cultivation faction and earn cheap spirit stones to live their cultivation.

The original owner is mining in a spirit stone mine under the Qingling Sect, and every day Yin is getting up to go down to the mine, Hai is finishing work, so a month, to complete the task of the month, only to get three lower grade spirit stones. If the task is not completed by the quota, the spirit stone will be deducted.

Rent a house, eat and wear, and only have one spirit stone left for cultivation.

If you want to buy Dharma instruments, if you want to buy good exercises, if you want to get married...... Don't even think about it, it is recommended to go to bed early every day.

The original owner is twenty-five years old this year, and he has been in the mine for ten years before he has cultivated to the second layer of qi refining. At this pace, he may not be able to cultivate until he dies in the late stage of Qi refining.

Many years ago, in order to get out of this predicament, the original owner planned to learn a technology.

Therefore, he had been thrifty for more than a year, only absorbing the meager spiritual energy that was free between heaven and earth to cultivate, and finally saved enough twelve lower-grade spirit stones, gritted his teeth and bought a basic book on refining, in an attempt to become a refiner who was worshiped by the Immortal Cultivation Sect.

Even if it is not good, if you learn some fur, it is enough to make a living, and you will not end up in this mine.

Dreams are sexy, reality is skinny.

For many years, the original owner couldn't even depict the first-order first-order prohibition, so it was conceivable that he had no talent for refining. The refiner's dream seems to be farther away than immortality.

But more recently, the accident happened.

Three days ago, the original owner went down to the mine, and the evil in his body was full of evil spirits, and the yin and evil qi spread in his body all the time.

As for why the original owner died early and let Wu Tao pass through, it is unknown.

In fact, this level of evil can be cleared with only a first-order intermediate evil breaking talisman, but in order to learn the refining weapon, the original owner will not take advantage of the ordinary spirit stone, which is enough for the spirit stone to buy the evil breaking talisman.

A first-order intermediate evil breaking talisman twenty low-grade spirit stones.

He's fifteen bucks away.

"How can I change this situation?" Wu Tao sighed in his heart, it was even worse than his previous life, at least there was no danger of his life in his previous life.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

"According to the "Miners' Regulations" signed with the same mine, the evil in the mine belongs to the category of work-related injuries, and if you declare it, you can completely receive the spirit stones for the purchase of evil charms." Wu Tao remembered from his memory that the original owner had already declared to the mine manager, and three days had passed, and the approval process should have been completed.

Thinking of this, Wu Tao got dressed and opened the door, but there were no miners outside, and they all went down to the mine. He tightened his collar, and with tongues of fire in the braziers on both sides of the mountain road, he went to the steward's dwelling.

In a short time, he arrived at the steward's house.

The king's housekeeper's house was shrouded in the faint moonlight, and when he looked into the courtyard, there was no lamp on the house. At this time, he suddenly realized that Steward Wang was different from them miners, after all, and he had to sleep until Chenzheng to get up.

Sure enough, there is a difference between people and people, no matter what world they are in.

Wu Tao stood outside the royal steward's courtyard and waited.

Time passed slowly, at first it was a ray of light, and then it gradually expanded, like the eyelids of a sleeping man, which opened and dawned.

The sun poured down and fell on Wu Tao's face, and the black marks on his forehead seemed to be distorted in the sunlight. At this moment, his ears moved, and he quickly stood up, listening intently to the small sound of speech coming from the courtyard.

The male voice was the voice of the king's steward, and there were two female voices, coquettish, as if they were blaming the king's steward for refusing to stop during the day.

As everyone knows, Steward Wang raised two mortal girls of twenty-eight years old in the mine to take care of his daily utensils.

Wu Tao couldn't help but feel emotional, and his mood instantly fell, thinking about his previous life, trying to earn a down payment and a bride price, but he never even entered the door, and her ex-boyfriends could come and go at will with just some cheap sweet words.

The original owner is twenty-five, and he is also a chick.

Two miserable lives!

Who else?

"From today onwards, Master Ji's diary is my life motto." Wu Tao secretly swore in his heart that in this life, he would never do it himself.

After waiting for about three quarters of an hour, the door opened, and the Wang steward came out, and when he saw Wu Tao, he was stunned, and said sharply: "What are you a miner in your district, you don't go to the mine early in the morning, what are you doing here?" If you don't complete the task, you have to deduct the spirit stone. ”

"Lord Steward, I am Wu Tao, a miner in District 3, I met an evil in the mine three days ago, and I have already reported to Lord Steward at that time, I came here today to ask, has the result of the declaration come down?" Wu Tao hurriedly nodded, squeezed out a flattering smile, and explained in detail.

Steward Wang was dressed in brocade clothes and was obese, and when he heard the explanation, he withdrew his stern face and glanced at Wu Tao: "It turned out to be you, come with me." ”

Wu Tao immediately followed Steward Wang, came to the place where he did his daily work, Steward Wang handed over a piece of paper, Wu Tao took it, and at a glance, his heart was very angry, this was actually a voluntary contract to leave the mine normally.

Wu Tao suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at Steward Wang with a smile like a grandson, and said forcefully: "Lord Steward, did you take it wrong?" I went to the mine and was evil, and the work injury report ......"

Steward Wang interrupted Wu Tao's words with an expressionless face: "Wu Tao, I didn't make a mistake, you are now evil, you can no longer go to the mine, leaving the mine is your best choice." Sign this voluntary contract, and you can also get this half-month spirit stone. ”

"As for your work-related injury declaration, the Qingling Sect General Affairs Hall did not approve it. This is the best choice I have made for you from your standpoint. ”

"Impossible!" When it comes to life, Wu Tao still wants to fight for it: "According to the "Miners' Regulations", it is impossible for the Qingling Sect General Affairs Hall not to approve it. ”

Steward Wang snorted coldly: "What? Do you still want to go to the general affairs hall to appeal? ”

This cold snort made Wu Tao completely calm down, he looked at Steward Wang in a daze, and he understood the threat contained in the other party's face.

Steward Wang ate his work-related injury compensation into his stomach.

He dared to do this, he must have colluded with the General Affairs Hall, and he was not afraid to appeal himself. Even if the appeal is really made, the general affairs hall will not do its best to contribute to a mere miner, it will inevitably be delayed again and again, and when it must be implemented, the Wang Steward will excuse himself that he does not have a spirit stone, and the general affairs hall will ask Wu Tao to provide evidence that the Wang steward has a spirit stone on his body to the general affairs hall.

Steward Wang is the steward of the mine, he is a miner, his status is low, how can he have the ability to provide evidence of Steward Wang's spirit stone?

Wu Tao had comprehended this set several times in his previous life.

Seeing that Wu Tao was silent, Steward Wang smiled and said slowly: "Wu Tao, sign it." ”

Wu Tao knew that he had to sign if he didn't sign it, and he had no ability to resist in the face of the king steward in the late stage of qi refining.

No matter how unwilling you are, what can you do?

Thinking of this, he took the brush, signed his name, and put his handprint.

"Lord Steward, I signed, can you give me the spirit stone for half a month?" In today's situation, a half-spirit stone is better than nothing.

Steward Wang looked at the name and handprint on the voluntary contract with satisfaction, and then heard Wu Tao's words, and suddenly snorted coldly: "Wu Tao, you haven't been in the mine for three days, which has brought great losses to the mine, I don't blame you for this loss, it's my kindness, you still want spirit stones?" ”

"You?" Wu Tao clenched his fists, eager to smash his disgusting pig face, but the so-called mature reason that he had experienced made him never move.

"Get out!"

Steward Wang flicked his sleeves.

Wu Tao gritted his teeth, there was no sadness or joy on his face, and finally glanced at Steward Wang, said nothing, and turned to leave.

"Sanxiu, dog-like thing." Looking at Wu Tao's embarrassed back, Steward Wang sneered.
