Chapter 32: This is a great irony
A few months ago, he had held a banquet to thank Steward Liu, and at that time, there was also a young man surnamed He who was traveling with the shopkeeper of Liang, and that person was a disciple of Xuanfu Sect.
Zhou Yang suddenly thought of the He brothers, could it be that the young man was also a member of the He family?
It shouldn't be wrong, it must be the young man who has fooled himself. At the wine table that day, he only asked one sentence and confirmed his identity, and the motive was nothing else, it was because of He Dongcang!
This is really happy and sad, everything went smoothly before, and I made a lot of spirit stones, but I didn't expect that I only invited a guest once, and it fell to such a point. also blame yourself, if you ask the identity of the other party and respond early, it won't be like this.
"It's the damn He family again, it's really ghostly!" When Zhou Yang was secretly annoyed, his angry brain jumped up, and his hatred was monstrous. After a while, he secretly wondered: "When did He Dongcang arrive in Anping City!"
He carefully recalled the days when he was on the run, and soon he cleared up the context and roughly understood the cause and effect.
According to the time, only in the cave of Fenghuanggou, during the seven or eight days when he took care of the red tiger, He Dongcang could have been to Anping City. And he should not know his secret yet, and he has not found himself. If Gao De arrived in Anping City, then he would not only be sent to be a mining slave, but also thanks to the beast tide in a certain sense.
Since the young man surnamed He secretly did not kill himself, but still went to the mine to be a mining slave, there should be two reasons, one is because the Xuanfu Sect urgently needs a cultivator mining slave. The second is to fend for himself in the mine. This is not only to squeeze the value of oneself, but also to die by oneself in the end, which is really vicious.
Knowing this, the more Zhou Yang thought about it, the more scared he became. What kind of big family is this He family? Why do they have their children everywhere? And why do they send their family children to the major cities?
These problems are a little far away from him for the time being, but there is no way to get out of it at present, and now there is really no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth.
"Alas, in the future, we can only take one step at a time. Zhou Yang sighed secretly.
After eating, all the low-level cultivators were sealed by the black armor guards, but those mortals did not have this treatment.
The beast's roar in the night was so loud that all mortals were too frightened to sleep.
Early the next morning, the team continued to set off, but the speed of the journey in the forest was noticeably not as fast as it could be.
After walking for another three days, they gradually reached the edge of the forest. At this time, you can already see the mountains in the distance.
These three days were the most thrilling of the three.
Even if they were unlucky, not only did they experience seven or eight demon beast attacks, but also two fifth-level high-level demon beasts appeared in the last time! In the entire battle, five black-armored guards were torn apart by demon beasts, and more than ten people were seriously injured, even the old man of the Tianyuan Realm was also embarrassed. In the end, he had to use the formation, spent a lot of spirit stones, let the magic weapon soar in the formation, and let the spirit runes fly all over the sky, before the two demon beasts were severely damaged, and then they were forced to escape.
In the final victory of this battle, it was the old man of the Tianyuan Realm who played a decisive role. This made Zhou Yang even more impressed by the combat power of the Tian Yuan cultivator, especially the magic weapon he used.
The magic weapon used by the old man is completely different from the black armor guard, it is not at the same level at all, it almost goes beyond the category of magic weapons, but it is very different from the legendary magic weapon, as for how it is different, he is a small Kaiyuan cultivator naturally can't say clearly.
This battle also caused nearly half of the Black Armor Guards to suffer casualties, and suffered heavy losses, while the cultivators and mortals on the back of the Earth Walking Dragon were unharmed.
"If this is spread by the Xuanfu Sect, it will definitely deduce a vigorous and touching drama in which the disciples of this sect do not hesitate to sacrifice their own lives and desperately protect the weak. Hmph, this is really a great irony!" The above thought flashed through his mind, and Zhou Yang secretly shook his head.
Through this battle, Zhou Yang finally saw the strength of the Xuanfu Sect, which was worthy of being one of the three major sects in Anping City, and the formation formed by only a few dozen middle and low-level cultivators completely suppressed the strength of the two high-level demon beasts. What's even more wealthy is that those middle and high-level runes don't need spirit stones, which is extremely extravagant, even if the fake pill master encounters it, he will have a headache.
The more the team moved forward, the more frightened Zhou Yang became, if he went on the road by himself, his life would definitely be in danger.
Finally walked out of the forest, and a group of people entered the thousands of miles of Cangbeast Mountain.
For several days, the miners had not eaten a single meal, and only after entering the mountains did they barely eat again. The cultivators were better, some of those mortals had already fainted from hunger, and they fell on the back of the Earth Walking Dragon, and they didn't even have the strength to get up. What's more, several mortals with weak physiques starved to death after unsuccessful attempts to seek food.
The corpses of those people were thrown into the woods at random, and it shouldn't be long before they became food for the beasts.
This may be the revenge of the disciples of the Xuanfu Sect. They are desperate with the demon beasts, but those mine slaves are hiding behind without danger, and their hearts will definitely not be balanced. There should be another reason, that is, I am afraid that these mine slaves will have other ideas after they are full of food and drink, and it will be difficult to control at that time.
Zhou Yang was also hungry and had no strength in his body, sitting on the back of the terrain dragon and not bothering to move, he couldn't stop cursing the Xuanfu Sect in his heart.
Cangbeast Mountain is really worthy of its name, the peaks are undulating, there is no end in sight, and it is many times wider than the Great Qingshan.
After a short time, the mountain road they walked gradually rose and became more and more rugged and difficult to walk. In the end, there could only be one demon beast in the middle of the road, and nearly twenty huge demon beasts formed a long dragon and meandered through the mountains.
After turning over a few peaks and passing through a dense forest, Zhou Yang thought that he was almost there, but he didn't think that there was still a high mountain with no end in sight, and the roar of the beast was getting louder and louder, which showed that the number of demon beasts in the mountain was extremely large. In this case, even the well-trained monitor lizards and earth-walking dragons trembled with fright.
With the little combat power they have left, if they go any further, they will have to be wiped out.
The Celestial Patriarch drank the monitor lizard, released a bird to deliver a message to the mine, and then the whole team camped under a mountain peak, waiting for reinforcements.
About three hours later, it was already completely dark, but from a distance came a group of black-armored guards, sixty or seventy men. These Xuanfu Sect disciples did not ride on a monitor lizard, but each had a green wolf.
The leader was an old man in gray, and judging from his breath, he was almost the same as the Tianyuan master in the team. The green wolf under his seat is obviously taller and more powerful than the others, with green hair and a high head, which should have reached the fourth level or above.
The two Tian Yuan masters talked a few words, and the team began to light torches, and then followed the Blue Wolf Brigade towards the deep mountains.
There is a difference between the mountains and the forest, and the high-level demon beasts here are very afraid of the marching brigade, especially the one with torches. If you camp in place, you will be vulnerable to attack, so after the two teams converge, they set off immediately, not daring to delay.
After walking for about another whole night, Zhou Yang was groggy and numb all over. At this time, he felt that he had entered a cave, which was very large and deep, very cold, and from time to time there was the sound of water falling and dripping. He couldn't help but feel excited, sobered up, looked around, but it was black, and he couldn't see his five fingers.
After walking through the cave for two or three hours, I saw a bright light in front of me, and it was the exit of the cave.
Zhou Yang suddenly felt comfortable, and the big * road was opened. However, the aura here is very strong, although it cannot be completely absorbed, but surrounded by the aura, the fatigue of the whole body is suddenly reduced a lot.
In front of it is a flattened mountain, and above the mountain is a whole flat land, and there are rows of stone houses on the flat ground.
It is only where there are veins that the spiritual energy will be so strong.
When they arrived at the flat land on the mountain, the old man in black gathered all the miners together, and the black-armored guards distributed some food and water, and the miners began to eat heavily. The food given this time was relatively sufficient, and I was basically able to eat enough. It seems that it has really arrived at the place, and the people of the Xuanfu Sect are also relieved.
After eating, the miners were housed in stone houses with locked doors. However, all the low-level cultivators were not sealed in the acupoints, and they were finally able to move.
After seven days and seven nights of nervous travel, I can finally take a break. Although the stone room was full of the smell of sweat, Zhou Yang still slept beautifully, and his tired spirit recovered a lot the next day.
In the morning, the Black Guards let them out of the room.
A captain-like black-armored guard said loudly to the miners: "From today on, you are the miners of my Xuanfu Sect, and your task is to mine spirit stones. The work is a little tiring, but I can eat enough every day, and I can take turns to rest at night, without any danger to my life. Of course, this is on the premise of abiding by the rules, otherwise you will only have one end, which is death!"
He bit this dead word very hard, intended to deter.
After looking around at the crowd, he said: "Don't try to escape, whether you can escape or not, even if you escape from the mining area, do you think you can get out of this mountain? Take 10,000 steps back, can you walk out of the mountain, can you break through the wasteland of more than 2,000 miles? That is definitely not possible." As long as you mine obediently, don't be lazy, and abide by the rules, you can ensure your safety. Okay, now let's start the division of labor, a team of ten people, each team is led by a cultivator, leading nine mortals into the mine, do you understand?"
After speaking, the captain's grim gaze swept towards everyone again. Whoever he looked at, whose heart trembled, subconsciously responded.
The Black Guards then led them out of the flat and into the mines. The mine is very deep, and it seems that it has been mined for a long time.
The first time Zhou Yang saw the spirit stone mine, he was very curious and full of doubts: how are the spirit stones formed? Is there a natural spirit stone in the mine? How is each spirit stone polished and regular?
With these questions, Zhou Yang walked quickly with the crowd.
The further you go in, the brighter the cave becomes, the more intense the aura becomes, and from time to time there are mining slaves coming out of the depths. The men were pushing a kind of wooden wheeled cart with pale green stones, which were much larger than the spirit stones, but lighter in color.
Zhou Yang's eyes lit up, and his heart said that this is the spirit ore.
