Chapter 50: The Bell Ringer
"No, if it goes on like this, it definitely won't work. Lin Xiqi thought secretly in his heart.
If you don't eat well here, you can't sleep well, and you will be beaten all kinds of times, and in the long run, the damage to your body will be too great, and you can't bear it at all.
Especially this kind of leather whip with barbs, every time he was whipped, Lin Xiqi's back was bloody, and now his back was a blur of flesh and blood.
Some people around also noticed Lin Xiqi, who made him a small child, and was taken care of by these overseers.
"Where did you come from, it seems that you have offended someone who shouldn't be offended. The people around him thought to themselves.
entered here, and then there were more people who were killed, and they were all surprised by this kind of thing, mainly because of Lin Xiqi's young age, which made them take a second look.
The surrounding prisoners were all far away from Lin Xiqi, for fear that they would be affected.
Lin Xiqi carried the 'Dark Ice True Sutra', and the true qi began to operate.
The cold true qi made the hot pain in the back quickly dissipate a lot.
He couldn't think of any way to escape now, because there were too many guards outside and their strength was too strong, and it was impossible with his current strength.
After so many years, there are very few prisoners who can escape from the Chiyan Mine, but if they do, most of them will be hunted down by the Chiyan Sect and the Seven Star Sect, and there is often no good end.
Therefore, the prisoners here basically admit it, and only hope that they can survive and escape, so they don't dare to think about it.
It was getting dark, but Lin Xiqi and they had to continue mining, and a bonfire was lit around, which was really a day and night work, and the ore dug out was pulled away and then refined.
Whether it is casting weapons or forging armor, it is a large source of money.
This is one of the financial resources of those big sects, otherwise such a big sect has no financial resources, wouldn't it be to drink the northwest wind.
It wasn't until midnight that the day's mining schedule was over.
Those old people were fine, as soon as they entered the small courtyard, they found their own place and slept when they lay down.
Most of the newcomers can't sleep, each of them has injuries on their bodies, and the newcomers are often taken care of and beaten a little more.
Also, they were hungry, and they regretted not eating those moldy and rancid buns at this time.
Lin Xiqi sat down against the wall, he found that his 'Dark Ice True Qi' had been running on its own, even if he hadn't deliberately operated it in the process of mining at that time, the True Qi was still running every day.
This surprised him in his heart, he hadn't heard of true qi working on its own.
Those true qi operate on their own, and they are generally going mad, and the true qi is not controlled.
However, for now, Lin Xiqi doesn't feel that he has gone mad, it should be because of the 'Ice Sutra', and it can only be said that this exercise is very magical.
At night, it became very cold in the mines, but it was July, and during the day in the mines, the sun was extremely hot, this is the cruelty of the Dead Mountains, not everyone can easily survive.
Such a change in temperature, coupled with various injuries, even if these people in the rivers and lakes have internal strength, they can't survive for long, no wonder most of the people who enter here will not live long.
An hour later, everyone around was asleep.
And Lin Xiqi's eyes opened suddenly, and he found that someone was approaching him.
It was pitch black all around, and Lin Xiqi's true qi was condensed in his eyes, so that he could barely see the movement in front of him.
I saw Boss Yang slowly walking towards him.
Lin Xiqi quickly understood what Boss Yang wanted to do, he wanted to seize his jade pendant.
"Look for death!" Lin Xiqi said secretly in his heart, he closed his eyes again, pretending to be asleep.
If Boss Yang is on guard, he may not be able to kill him, so he can only take advantage of his unpreparedness.
Seeing that Lin Xiqi didn't move, Boss Yang felt in his heart that this kid must be tired and paralyzed, plus he had suffered a lot of whips, not to mention a small child, even he couldn't stand it.
"This jade pendant belongs to me. Boss Yang was very excited in his heart.
He is going to secretly steal the jade pendant from this kid, if he makes a big fuss, this jade pendant may not be his turn.
The only way to live comfortably in the mine is to have a good relationship with the overseers, especially the stewards.
But they don't have any good things here to honor these overseers and stewards, and now when they see Lin Xiqi's jade pendant, no matter how you look at it, it is a good jade pendant.
When he squatted down and stretched out his hand to tear off the jade pendant on Lin Xiqi's neck, Lin Xiqi suddenly burst out, and the 'Dark Ice True Qi' in his body condensed on his fingertips, and then a finger poked directly into Boss Yang's heart.
Boss Yang didn't have time to react at all, he was even more defenseless, he was just a ten-year-old kid in front of him, how could he not have thought that the other party could threaten him, and even take his own life.
The 'Ice Finger' finger directly invaded his heart, his heart shattered, and Boss Yang's eyes widened, and he collapsed without even screaming.
Lin Xiqi hurriedly reached out and held Boss Yang's corpse, and then carefully placed the corpse in the center of the aisle a foot away from him, without making any sound.
If Boss Yang's body was beside him, he would inevitably be suspected.
After eliminating the traces, Lin Xiqi carefully probed the surroundings and found that the people around him did not seem to wake up, so he closed his eyes and continued to practice.
When it was dawning, a voice sounded: "Ah? Boss Yang is also dead." ”
"Shhh
"Boss Yang is dead. The man said in a low voice.
"What?"
Immediately, everyone present was surprised and gathered around.
The boss of this small courtyard died, and naturally a new one was to be elected, and just when everyone was not giving in, the bell rang for the start of construction.
There was no way, no one dared to delay, and the boss was not elected yet, so he went to work directly.
As for Boss Yang's body, it will soon be disposed of.
The life and death of these people, those overseers will not care.
Lin Xiqi was taken care of by those overseers again, and the whip kept whipping.
During the day, when Lin Xiqi was mining, his true qi was running at the same time, and in addition to resisting the scorching heat, he could also improve his strength.
Lin Xiqi wanted to attack the second level of the 'Dark Ice True Scripture', but unfortunately now he found that he couldn't do it now, and the second level was not so easy to break through.
The prisoners here are all working, but Lin Xiqi also found an exception.
It was an old man who looked to be seventy or eighty years old, with gray hair, sitting under a large clock, and he was the bell ringer who started and finished work every morning and evening.
Lin Xiqi also heard some news about this old man from the prisoners around him, it is said that this old man has been here for more than fifty years, and few people know how many years he is, and no one knows what his name is, and no one knows what he is, everyone calls him Old Man Zhong, which means the old man who rings the bell.
Since the old man had been here for too long, and because he was old, the overseers no longer embarrassed him, so they arranged for him to ring the bell every day, and there was no need to do anything else.
When Lin Xiqi stared at Old Man Zhong, Old Man Zhong seemed to be aware of it and looked at Lin Xiqi with his eyes.
