Chapter 239: Wind Demon Cave
Yunhai Mountain, Wind Demon Mine.
This mine, which belongs to the sect, is not too far from Yunhai City, but because it is located between mountains and mountains, it takes half a day to walk along the narrow and rugged mountain road to reach it.
The core of the Wind Demon Mine is the Wind Demon Cave.
The Wind Demon Cave was originally a huge underground karst cave, which was accidentally discovered by hunters a hundred years ago, and the wind copper ore was found in the underground dark river in it, and was finally occupied by Yunhaimen and developed into a mining cave.
The Wind Demon Mine mainly produces excellent quality wind copper, black iron, and a small amount of silver, gold, star sand and other precious and rare materials, which is the most important mineral deposit source of the sect.
There are thousands of miners working in the Wind Demon Mine all year round, and the mine has a large workshop where the trees on the mountain are cut down and smelted charcoal, and the ore is refined into raw materials and transported to Yunhai City.
In order to ensure the safety of the Wind Demon Mine, Yunhaimen stationed strong masters and sect warriors in the mine, and due to the special situation of the Wind Demon Cave, the disciples of the sect were also sent to guard the cave.
These disciples, except for a very small number of people who sacrificed their lives in order to earn the merits of the sect, the vast majority of them were sent over for violating the rules of the sect, which belonged to severe punishment!
Because of the environment in the Wind Demon Cave, it can be said that it is very harsh.
"In the Wind Demon Cave, there are at least ten hours a day when the wind is constant, especially near the eye of the wind, @β The underground evil qi is the strongest"
The Tsing Yi warrior who walked with Wei Changfeng all the way said: "No matter how much clothes you wear, it's useless, you can only barely defend yourself by relying on the magic weapons issued by the sect, and then you have to guard against the evil beasts that come out of the eye of the wind." β
"The beast is easy to deal with. It would be terrible if there was a monster."
This Tsing Yi warrior was assigned by the torture hall to take Wei Changfeng to the Wind Demon Cave. Although it is a duty. His attitude towards Wei Changfeng was quite friendly, and he told Wei Changfeng a lot of situations in the Wind Demon Cave on the way.
Wei Changfeng asked, "Senior Brother Li, what level is the demon beast in the Wind Demon Cave?"
The Tsing Yi warrior replied: "Most of them are middle-level demon beasts, and there are also high-ranking ones, but very few will run out, it is said that a long time ago, a heavenly demon python appeared in the cave, and was killed by the seniors in the sect." β
He comforted: "You don't have to worry too much, in case you encounter a powerful demon beast, you can withdraw from the secret passage to ask for help, what is really difficult is the continuous evil wind every day!"
The Torture Hall Warrior said. There was a look of fear on his face, obviously having suffered hardships.
"We're here!"
Passing through the dense mountain forest, a valley surrounded by mountains appeared in front of you.
There were many houses built in the valley, and the trees on the hills on both sides had been cut down as if they had been neatly shaved by sharp blades, and many houses were built on them.
Thick chimneys stood in the valley, spitting gray-black smoke into the sky.
Outside the valley there was a large amount of ore residue, and the wind blew up countless amounts of dust and ash as you walked along the muddy road. There was a scorching smell in the air.
Many miners and handymen were busy in the mines, and no one paid attention to the two people who had just arrived.
"We're going to the mines!"
The warriors of the torture hall led Wei Changfeng directly through the messy and filthy mining area. Soon we came to the entrance to the innermost cave in the valley, where the environment was slightly better.
From the outside, the Wind Demon Cave is very large, the height of the cave entrance is five or six zhang, and the width is enough to accommodate four or five carriages driving side by side, which is obviously expanded.
There are many miners who go in and out of the mine with baskets on their backs, and their bodies are covered with ore powder, and they can't see their original faces, and they are hunched over and overwhelmed.
Wei Changfeng followed the warrior of the torture hall into the mine, and a cold air instantly hit his face!
The Wind Demon Cave was originally a natural karst cave, and the thick stalactites hanging down above the top of the cave, and the countless fluorites embedded in the rock wall emitted a pale green light, reflecting on the water-stained ground, forming a bizarre space.
The clanging sounds, the roar of the wind, and the faint voices of people are constantly diffused and amplified in the cave, making people feel extraordinarily eerie.
Following the stone-paved path, the two gradually descended into the Wind Demon Cave.
The further you walked inside, the more cold it became, and all the miners wore thick padded jackets and hats.
The torture hall warrior said: "It's not bad here, at least ordinary people can stay there, and it won't be the same if you go over!"
As if to confirm his words, after the two of them turned into a fork in the road, the wind blowing from the depths of the cave suddenly became violent, and the cold and bone-chilling evil qi penetrated through the clothes and quickly penetrated into the internal organs.
"Eat one!"
The torture hall warrior took out two pills, handed one to Wei Changfeng, and swallowed the other himself.
"This is the Yang Fire Pill, which can resist the evil energy. β
Wei Changfeng pinched the Yang Huo Pill in his hand, and he felt like he couldn't cry or laugh.
He was really familiar with this kind of elixir, when he first woke up, he was competing with others to refine the Yang Fire Pill, and he passed the first hurdle after being reborn.
Although he believed in the personality of this torture hall warrior, Wei Changfeng did not swallow the pill directly, but just pretended to stuff it into his mouth, and then silently urged the Qianyang True Qi to circulate his limbs and hundreds of remains.
As the true qi accelerated in the meridians, his whole body immediately became warm, and the yin qi that filled the cave basically had little effect.
The two of them continued on walking for about half an hour, and finally came to a grotto.
The terrain inside the Wind Demon Mine is very complicated, and there are countless large and small mine tunnels dug by the miners, and it is easy for unfamiliar people to get lost when they enter it.
But when they got here, none of the miners could see it, and the surrounding darkness and depth seemed to be like a ghost domain, and the evil qi was so heavy that Wei Changfeng had to use fifty percent of his true qi to resist it!
The grotto that the warriors of the torture hall brought Wei Changfeng to was carved out of the rock wall, and the surface was densely covered with traces left by iron chisels, and the entrance was not large, barely able to accommodate two people to enter and exit, but the space inside was not small at all.
To Wei Changfeng's surprise, there were all kinds of tables, chairs, benches and other furniture in the cave, oil lamps hung on the walls, and there was even a burning stove in the corner, which was simply heaven compared to the outside.
"This is the Wind Nest, and the Mine Supervisor lives here"
When he came in, the warrior of the torture hall lowered his voice and said to Wei Changfeng: "Everything you usually eat must be collected here, so remember to be cautious in your words and deeds and don't offend others lightly, otherwise you will have a bad time in the future!"
Wei Changfeng knew that he meant well, and said, "I understand, thank you for your advice." β
In this cave called the Wind Nest, six or seven people are drinking and playing dice around a wooden table, and one of them is a bearded man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist.
He held the dice bell with both hands, held it high and shook it vigorously, and then slammed it on the table, dumbfounded: "Bet on it, bet on it big and buy it and leave it, bet more and bet less!"
Surrounded by samurai in strong suits, some with sad faces, some gritted their teeth, and some sweated profusely, the gamblers showed their faces vividly.
The warrior of the torture hall whispered to Wei Changfeng: "This person sitting in the village is Guan Xiongfei, the head of the mine, you must not mess with anyone in the Wind Demon Cave, otherwise you don't know how you died!"
Wei Changfeng nodded silently, keeping the other party in mind.
"Open!"
The bearded man here opened the dice bell and laughed: "Four, five, six, the dealer takes it all!"
"Ahh
The samurai who had lost their bets were all mournful, and their sighs and sighs were endless.
The bearded man stretched out his hand and swept all the bets on the table in front of him, so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.
At this time, the warrior of the Torture Hall took the opportunity to step forward and said respectfully: "Chief Guan, I have sent the outer disciple Wei Changfeng over, I want to trouble you to arrange it." β
The mine manager named Guan Xiongfei raised his head and glanced at Wei Changfeng, who was standing not far away.
He reached out and touched his beard, and said angrily: "I have received the paperwork of the torture hall, let this newcomer come over!"
The warrior of the torture hall immediately gave Wei Changfeng a look.
Wei Changfeng stepped forward and saluted to the other party without being humble or arrogant: "Disciple Wei Changfeng, I have seen Chief Guan Guan!"
Guan Xiongfei snorted twice, and suddenly asked, "Can you play dice?"
Wei Changfeng was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"Then play two first!"
Guan Xiongfei waved his hand and said, "I'll talk about other things later!"
Wei Changfeng smiled and said, "Since the chief manager has an order, the disciple should obey it."
Hearing Wei Changfeng's answer, the warriors next to him all showed gloating looks, and they all looked at him as if they were all saying--You kid is dead!
Guan Xiongfei laughed and said: "It's fun enough! The rules of our game are very simple, you can bet on the size or the point, the big and small bets can be doubled, the points are bet ten times the loss, and the bets are no problem with silver taels, spirit beads, and Xunyu!"
Wei Changfeng nodded and said, "Understood"
"Got it, let's get started!"
Guan Xiongfei's gambling was extremely heavy, and he immediately picked up the dice clock and shook it, making a loud noise.
Boom!
The next moment, the dice bell slammed heavily on the wooden table.
He stared at Wei Changfeng like a wolf: "Bet!"
Wei Changfeng groaned slightly, took out the money bag from his arms, poured out a spirit bead and placed it in the "big" position of the gambling table.
The first bet, he is big!
The samurai next to him all stood by and watched, and none of them followed.
Guan Xiongfei stretched out his hand and opened the dice clock, and it was one, two, or three o'clock.
"Small!"
He swept the spirit bead with a smile, and then began to shake the dice bell: "Keep going!"
The second Wei Changfeng is still on the "big".
Is the result two, three, or three, or smallββ
