Chapter 113: What I Saw and Heard in the Mine
A few months after Lu Sisi left, Li Xuanxuan went out of the customs and broke through the five-layer Yujing wheel of fetal breath, ranking third in the family in terms of strength, followed by two right-hand men Li Qiuyang and Chen Donghe, both of whom are fourth-layer fetal breaths.
The momentum in the Qingwu mine became lively day by day, and Li Xuanxuan gathered a group of strong Shanyue to go to work in the mine, and the wages of the four towns who were degraded day by day due to surplus labor suddenly rose a lot, and the negative impact of the people in the four towns due to overpopulation was greatly reduced, and their lives were much more comfortable.
A large hut is located along the ore vein, and the three families have built a decent town in the past few months, and in the first year, the Li family sent Qi cultivators to guard the Qingwu mine.
According to the agreement, each of the three families sent a fetal monk to the mine to supervise each other, Li Xuanxuan had already sent Li Qiuyang out, and it seemed that it had been several months.
When Li Xuanfeng landed on the mine in the wind, the three fetal breath monks were already waiting on the ground, and the surrounding miners fell to their knees.
"Welcome seniors!"
The three of them shouted in unison, Li Xuanfeng just waved his hand, nodded towards Li Qiuyang, and called:
"Uncle Clan."
Only then did he look at the fetal rest monks of the Lu An family, nodded and said:
"No need to be polite."
With a sweep of spiritual sense, the two people in front of him were only three or four levels of cultivation, and they were all around forty or fifty years old, waving his hand to disperse these two people, Li Xuanfeng said in a low voice:
"Uncle Clan, how has the veins been in the past few months, hurriedly call me here."
Li Qiuyang arched his hand, the boy who swallowed the snake Jiaoguo in the mountains is now in his thirties, and he has already hugged his grandson, with a dignified appearance, holding a long knife in his hand, with the posture of a family elder, and replied:
"I just started digging, and seven of them were mined in March, and the production should be gradually increased in the future, but since the past few months, there have been miners who have lost their voices, and last month there were still one or two, and this month there have been dozens more, so I had to send someone to deliver the message home."
"Aphasia......
Li Xuanfeng was carrying a longbow behind him, frowned, and replied:
"Take me to see these people."
Li Qiuyang nodded again and again, led Li Xuanfeng for a while, walked through the large and small tents where he was sitting, and came to a large courtyard.
There are many mountains on the mine, and most of the architectural styles have Shanyue characteristics, most of this large courtyard was built by the Lu An family, and there are more than a dozen people squatting against the wall, most of them are Shanyue miners who moved from the Li family, and they are all uneasy.
Seeing Li Qiuyang and Li Xuanfeng coming, the steward in the courtyard was very nervous, and called up the squatting Shanyue miners one by one, knelt tightly on the ground, and stared at the ground full of loess worriedly.
Li Xuanfeng put his hand on the shoulder of a Shanyue miner in front, Zhenyuan turned around a few times, but he didn't find anything abnormal, his face was slightly weird, but he found the qi that swallowed spiritual energy in this middle-aged manly sea hole.
"It's a pity that I have a spiritual mind."
These words were like a thunderclap, which shook the middle-aged man and babbled twice, his expression was excited and sad, looking at the middle-aged man's slightly white sideburns and complicated expression, Li Xuanfeng turned his head and ordered:
"Take this person back, find a lady who looks at the right eye, and marry."
Li Qiuyang nodded, and suddenly a few clan soldiers stepped forward to grab the person who was crying and laughing, and took him down, Li Xuanfeng picked a few more inspections among more than a dozen people, but found nothing, and asked:
"Did these people have anything unusual before they lost their speech?"
"I have never ......"
Li Qiuyang shook his head and replied:
"But four of these dozens of people have mined Qingwu mine......"
Li Xuanfeng nodded thoughtfully, his eyes stayed on the few people in front of him for a while, and took the blue-black blue black ore rough stone handed over by Li Qiuyang.
"It's mostly because of this green black mine...... Uncle Trouble summoned the two men. ”
Li Qiuyang nodded when he heard this, and found the monks of the Lu An family, and the two of them stood in front of Li Qiuyang nervously, estimating in their hearts that most of the Li family's qi practice was going to find their own mistakes and omissions, and they were all frightened.
"The people in this mine often suffer from aphasia, can you know it?"
The two of them were stunned when they heard Li Xuanfeng's words, and they only agreed, and said in their stomachs:
"Qi cultivators still care about mortals' illnesses, old age, life and death? Aphasia is not a disability, as long as he can work, who cares if he lives or dies......"
Li Xuanfeng thought for a few breaths, Qingwu Mine is a spiritual mine after all, the qi of gold and stone is afraid that it will be harmful to the mortal body, and the aphasia is light, Li Xuanfeng is afraid that these thousands of people will work in the mine day and night, and within a few months, their vitality will fail, and thousands of people will die in vain.
"How are shifts arranged in the mine today?"
"There are more than 4,000 miners, and this mine can accommodate more than 1,000 people, and it is used to work back and forth in two shifts and three days...... Responsible for mining and construction of facilities. ”
Li Xuanfeng waved his hand and said:
"Divide into four shifts, don't let the miners stay in the mine for too long, and then I will send people to work in multiple shifts in the Hui clan."
Seeing that the two of them should say yes in unison, Li Xuanfeng shook his head and drove back to report to Li Tongya, but Li Qiuyang looked at the two of them and waited for Li Xuanfeng to leave with a respectful face, and looked quite disapproving in private, secretly frowned, and secretly said:
"No wonder the population of the two families is only twenty or thirty thousand, and my Li family has risen to more than sixty thousand in the past few decades, these people clearly don't treat people as human beings, I'm afraid they haven't even supervised farming, let alone maintaining any livelihood, these two or thirty thousand people are all people who support his family......"
"Brother Qiuyang!"
The two greeted them with a smile, and the Lu family monk frowned and smiled:
"Your seniors are still entrusted to you in this matter, and I will leave first when I have important matters."
Without waiting for Li Qiuyang to respond, he left with his shoulders on his back and laughing, seeing that Li Qiuyang's eyelids jumped slightly, and he was a little annoyed.
"These two people are singing in this mine every night, and the woman is sent into the house every day, and they can't do anything but eat, drink and have fun, what a waste of cultivation! In my Li family, even if it is a monk, it will be arrested and held accountable by the clan, it is really not a thing! ”
Turning his head and walking towards his small courtyard, Li Qiuyang was relieved for a while, smiled coldly, and said in a low voice:
"Let's have fun, stay for a few more years, and I'll see what your two families use to stop my Li family."
————
Li Qiuyang returned to the house and finished his orders, and practiced cross-legged, but the large courtyard at the other end was full of silk and bamboo, and the monks of the Lu An family were drinking wine and laughing.
"What a job in the mines! You don't have to look at the face of the person in the family, everything is done by Li Qiuyang of the Li family, so uncomfortable! ”
"That's it!"
The monk laughed, took a sip of the spirit wine in his hand, smashed his mouth beautifully, and replied:
"After all, the Li family is a nouveau riche, the rise is too fast, the Qi cultivator is too young, and he still has mortals in his heart, who in this entire Guli Road doesn't use mortals as items? Only mortals serve monks, how can monks think about mortals! ”
The monk of the Lu family nodded, his expression was leisurely, and said with a smile:
"Look at this Li family, although the strength is strong, but it is dragged to the west by Shanyue, as a barrier for us, it is said that there are more than a dozen Qi practitioners in Shanyue, and there is a king at the peak of Qi training, but you can't deal with it!"
Selling this news that he had gotten, the Lu family monk raised his head slightly, but he heard the An family monk ask:
"I heard that your Lu family has a high cultivator who cultivates in the Qingchi Sect, but he is a big backer."
The Lu family monk shook his head, his expression was a little depressed, and replied:
"You and I have been in-laws for many years, everyone knows the roots, that person practiced on the Moon Lake Peak, he was the peak of Qi cultivation in his early years, and he failed to die when he broke through the foundation, and it has been more than eighty years since then! In addition to the fact that the Moon Lake Peak Lord in the sect still has some incense with my family, how can he be regarded as a backer elsewhere. ”
Yan lowered his head and said to the monk of the Anjia family:
"Where can I compare to the genius of your family!"
Monk An sighed slightly, and said indignantly:
"The one in my family really loves An Jingming very much, and the cultivation resources of the whole clan are at his disposal! It is said that the rice I eat every day is spiritual rice, and I am jealous of it, and if my family is so attentive to me, I may be able to rush to practice qi. ”
"Hey."
The monk of the Lu family sighed in a low voice, his expression was a little more depressed, and he was particularly abrupt in the sound of silk and bamboo in the courtyard, and hung his head and said:
"You and I are in our fifties, but I haven't even cultivated the Yujing Wheel, where is there any hope of practicing qi in this life! But the rest of my life has been more than fifty years of pleasure, and it is worth walking in this world! ”
When the monk heard this, he was also greatly mourned, drank the wine, choked up, and said:
"Life is not as expected...... I've long been down-looking. ”
The two of them raised their glasses and cried in the sound of silk and bamboo, hugged their heads and cried.
