"Tick."

The cold droplets of water dripped on his face, causing Su Yi, who was originally groggy to wake up suddenly.

Before he could come back to his senses, a rough burst rang in his ears.

"Damn, get up and work for Lao Tzu."

Then the whip sounded, and wails echoed in the enclosed space.

Su Yi tried to stay away from the leather whip as much as possible, but it was pitch black all around, and he accidentally touched a sharp stone on his forehead, and a stream of warm blood flowed down his forehead.

I don't know who lit the kerosene lamp, but in the dim light, the surroundings gradually became visible.

It was a dimly lit underground tunnel, and in the tunnel, dozens of ragged, skinny miners looked at a tall head with a look of fear.

Su Yi didn't know what the name of this leader was, but he only knew that the miners called him Master Zhang.

Master Zhang held a leather whip in his hand and looked at the miners with a fierce face: "We all dig hard for Lao Tzu, if we don't dig out the exit, we will all die here." ”

A few days ago, there was a mining disaster, the tunnel collapsed, and this small mining team was trapped underground.

The original road was blocked by a 10,000-pound boulder, which was extremely hard, and the iron pickaxe used for mining could only sporadic sparks when smashed on the boulder.

Lord Zhang was unwilling to sit still, so he gave an order, and the miners had to dig from the side, hoping to dig a way out.

There is no night or day in the cave, and everyone digs every day when they wake up, and they don't know how long they have been digging, but they have never dug through the tunnel.

Seeing that the rations were not much, and the lighting oil was about to run out, Master Zhang became more and more anxious, and his attacks became more and more ruthless, and several emaciated miners were beaten to death by his leather whip.

Jingle bell.

It was the sound of a pickaxe striking on the rock wall.

The miners were silent, working hard, and seemed to be calm, but Su Yi knew that this was the calm before the storm.

Among the miners, dragons and snakes were mixed, and some were the children of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the children of the poor families in the vicinity became miners because of their forced labor.

Some were felons of the imperial court and were forced to mine here in order to have their sentences reduced.

Su Yi's predecessor was a homeless man whose parents died, and he was captured by officers and soldiers as free labor when he was begging on the street.

Trapped in this dark underground, Su Yi and the other poor children have nothing to do, just hoping to escape as soon as possible.

But the group of felons had a crooked mind and wanted to take this opportunity to escape from prison.

"Old Five, how long do you estimate how long the lamp oil can last?"

A scar-faced man with fierce eyes beside Su Yi whispered to the short and thin man on the side.

"I took a peek while Master Zhang was asleep, there wasn't much, and the kerosene lamp would be extinguished in a few hours, and when the time came, no matter how high his martial arts were, hehehe..."

Su Yi guessed that this group of felons wanted to take advantage of the darkness.

At this moment, a cold gaze swept over, and the scar-faced man looked at Su Yi suspiciously.

Su Yi only felt a chill on his back, and his hairs stood on end, then he grabbed a handful of dirt, stuffed it into his mouth, and grinned at the scar-faced man.

"He's a fool who can't even speak. Don't worry. The short and thin man comforted the scar-faced man softly.

As the scar-faced man looked away, Su Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The original owner was indeed a fool who couldn't even speak, which was well known among the miners.

Su Yi found that after he crossed over, he realized that something was wrong, and in order to protect himself, he kept pretending to be stupid, which did not arouse the suspicion of others.

"Smack!"

At this moment, a crisp sound caught the attention of Master Zhang.

He walked quickly to the source of the sound, lifted the kerosene lamp and looked at it carefully.

Years of mining experience told him that this crisp sound meant that the back of the stone wall was empty.

He snatched a pickaxe from a miner's hand and struck it hard.

With a bang, the stone wall collapsed, revealing a dark stalactite cave.

Master Zhang took the lead, picked up the kerosene lamp and walked into the stone cave, and the rest of the people also plucked up their courage and followed in.

Su Yi finally walked in with a smirk.

As soon as he entered the cave, Su Yi found that the cave was very open, and dozens of people stood in the cave and did not feel crowded.

The wall of the cave is very flat, and at the end of the stone cave, there is a statue of a demon god with a hideous face and a fierce god.

Underneath the statue, there is a futon, on which sits a skeleton.

The strange thing is that the skeleton of the skeleton appears in five colors under the faint kerosene lamp: yellow, blue, purple, black, and white, giving people a very strange feeling.

"Hell!"

I don't know who screamed, and everyone curled up in a corner of the cave, shivering.

Lord Zhang put his hand on the handle of the long knife at his waist and shouted: "Whoever is alarmist again, see that this official does not pick his skin." ”

Then, he pointed at the scar-faced man: "You, go over and check what kind of person is pretending to be a ghost here." ”

Rao is a scar-faced man who kills people without blinking, and he is also a little worried at this time.

However, due to Lord Zhang's obscenity, the scar-faced man didn't dare to say anything, so he had to walk tremblingly in front of the white skeleton, and kept chanting "Amitabha." ”

A moment later, the scar-faced man walked up to Mr. Zhang with a yellowed pamphlet and a small white porcelain vase.

"My lord, the villain has checked it, there is nothing special about the skeleton, it may be damp underground, and the color is a little weird, this is the treasure that the villain found in front of the skeleton. Adults, please smile. ”

As he spoke, he handed the porcelain vase and the pamphlet to Mr. Zhang.

When Master Zhang heard the word "treasure", the mustache on his excited lips trembled.

"According to the villain's view, this bottle is likely to be the elixir of the immortal family, my Dajin is called the holy land of cultivating immortals by those immortal families, my lord has obtained the immortal fate!"

The scar-faced man laughed and complimented loudly.

Several other people who were familiar with Scarface also stepped forward to congratulate them.

"Congratulations, congratulations."

"Adults have become immortals, don't forget the merits of the little ones."

"Please also ask the adults to take the elixir quickly, the adults' skills will improve, and the younger ones will have a better chance of surviving from this underground."

Several people kept coaxing and asked Master Zhang to take the pill.

Master Zhang was not stupid, and sneered: "Hmph, this official has his own measure, and it is not your turn to point fingers at this official." ”

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is something wrong with this skeleton.

Master Zhang has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and he knows that some people have been poisoned, and the skeleton will also turn into a strange color after the corpse decomposes.

What's more, this skeleton is buried deep underground, what kind of immortal will live underground?

But as the saying goes, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if, in case this bottle is really an elixir, wouldn't it be a pity to miss this opportunity to become an immortal.

Lord Zhang glanced at the booklet and found that it was written with several big characters [White Bone Immortal Sutra]. At the same time, he shook the porcelain bottle and found that there was more than one pill in the bottle.

"Who dares to test the medicine for the official, if it is really an elixir, the official will be rewarded."

Master Zhang glanced at the people in the stone cave and shouted loudly.

Everyone looked at each other, and no one wanted to eat the elixir of unknown origin.

Finally, the scar-faced man stepped forward and said, "The villain is willing to test the medicine for the adult." ”

When the scar-faced man found the porcelain bottle containing the elixir and the yellowed pamphlet, he had the heart to swallow it.

But under the intently watched eyes of Master Zhang, he didn't dare to make small moves.

The scar-faced man then thought that he would delay as much time as possible, and when the kerosene lamp went out and everyone killed Master Zhang, the pills in the booklet and the porcelain bottle were not in his bag.

At this time, Mr. Zhang proposed to let people try the medicine, and the scar-faced man naturally couldn't ask for it.

He licked blood from the knife all the year round, and his courage was a few points greater than that of ordinary people, and he thought that the porcelain vase might be an elixir, so he turned his heart sideways and wanted to touch the fairy fate.

Master Zhang sneered again, he knew that the scar-faced man was a prisoner who killed people without blinking, and if the elixir made the scar-faced man's skills greatly improved, he might not be able to restrain him at that time.

Lord Zhang looked at it, but he didn't find anyone he could trust, until his eyes swept to Su Yi, who looked stupid, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"It's just a fool, even if he is allowed to eat the elixir, he will not plot against him."

Thinking like this, Master Zhang walked a few briskly and walked in front of Su Yi.

Su Yi almost said "" in his heart.

He didn't want to be a guinea pig for testing medicine, so he covered his mouth and gritted his teeth and refused to let go.

Master Zhang pinched Su Yi's jaw, took out a black thumb-cap-sized pill from the porcelain bottle, and forced it into Su Yi's mouth, while pinching Su Yi's nose and forcing him to swallow the pill.
