Chapter 1: Twelve Years of Slavery
Born skin and bones are not born, but are cultivated in the previous life. The word beauty and ugliness are read by mortals, and there are always heroes fighting for the country. The peony flowers are full of white bones, and the peach blossoms are blood-stained red. There is nothing in the world that can be taken away, only karma and souls.
......
The predecessors planted trees and the later people enjoyed the shade. The Son of Heaven fights the country, and the prince sits in the court. If the ancestors are slaves, their children and grandchildren will also be slaves for generations, which seems to be an iron rule that will not change through the ages.
At least, this is the case in the Immortal Cultivation Realm of the Liyang Continent.
Five hundred and twenty years ago, a great battle broke out in the immortal realm of the Liyang Continent. The Duanmu clan of the Liyang Immortal Sect unified the Immortal Cultivation Continent, and Duanmu Ke proclaimed himself the Immortal Emperor.
Since then, the winner is an immortal, and the loser is a slave.
Duanmu Ke became the first generation of immortal queens, signed a life contract with all ministers and slaves, and enjoyed the life of many subservants, and lived up to 10,000 years.
Immortal Emperor Duanmu Ke established a strict hierarchy. He selected the best from the victorious Immortal Clan Immortal Sect as his henchmen, Feng Immortal Cheng, Immortal Qing, Immortal Official, Immortal Official, and Immortal Lord.
The enshrined Immortal clan clan could not only enjoy all the cultivation resources, but also have countless slaves and sign a slave contract with them. Through the contract of slaves, the immortal race can absorb the life and life of the slaves and turn them into their own use, rob their energy, and control their life and death.
The defeated family of the immortal realm was reduced to slavery, and its descendants signed a contract of slavery with the immortals.
This kind of contract spell is very vicious, directly imprinted in the bloodline root bones, not only do the slaves obtain very few cultivation resources, but also because of the existence of slave bones, their own longevity, spiritual wisdom, and creation will be sucked up and exploited by the immortal family layer by layer through the slave contract.
People who have been forcibly branded as slaves have been weak and sickly since childhood, have a very short lifespan, and have a narrow life, and cannot turn over for the rest of their lives.
......
But among the slaves, there are also those who are not willing to be ordinary, and they do not want to die silently in the midst of toil.
In order to increase longevity and broaden the personality, some strong slaves will do everything possible to strengthen their physique.
Slaves do not have the qualifications to cultivate, but as long as they are diligent enough, lucky enough, and strong enough, they may stand out from the crowd.
If you finally have the strength to lift a thousand catties of stone locks through training, you can be promoted from a slave to a slave soldier.
To become a slave soldier, you no longer have to live in a filthy slave slum like a low-level slave, nor do you have to go into the Lingyu Mine to do dangerous hard labor.
Slave soldiers patrol the territory of the immortals on weekdays, guard the spiritual jade veins, and manage the mine slaves. They can live in the slave barracks with better conditions, and they can receive a piece of spirit jade and ten low-level pills for cultivation every month, and they can obtain low-level qi training methods.
If a slave soldier is fortunate enough to have the talent for cultivation under the constant exploitation of the slave contract, and finally cultivates one and a half combat techniques, he can participate in the biennial slave soldier selection.
Slave soldiers who pass the selection can be promoted to slave guards.
Nuwei can participate in the struggle and friction of territory, resources, and rights between the forces of the Immortal Family, and is a force that the Immortal clans rely on.
The slave guards can obtain ten pieces of spirit jade and one hundred mid-grade pills every month.
If you are talented enough, your combat skills are extraordinary, and you have established meritorious deeds for the immortal family by chance, you will reach the pinnacle among slaves, and you will be a slave general.
The slave generals who were enshrined by the immortal clan above the immortal official, even if the immortal officials and the immortal lord encountered it, they did not dare to make a mistake.
The treatment and resources enjoyed by the slave generals are almost on the same level as those of the immortals. You can have your own private mansion or call a large number of slaves.
But there is only one thing that cannot be changed, that is, there is no way to get rid of the slave bones, and you still have to continue to contribute your longevity and strength to the immortal family who signed the slave contract.
Even so, becoming a slave is still the dream of slaves for generations.
......
Today, in the spirit jade veins of Bainiu Mountain under the influence of Luo Yue Immortal Lord, the slaves are working hard in the depths of the vein lanes as usual.
Twelve-year-old slave thirteen is one of them.
Slave Thirteen is the thirteenth generation of slaves in his family, so he is named Thirteen. Slaves are not entitled to have a surname, hence the name Slave XIII.
Like most slaves, the ragged slave thirteen,
The body is thin, the hair is yellow and dry, and the skin is gray and black.
Twelve years old was supposed to be a vigorous age, but Slave Thirteen's body was surrounded by the dead air of decay.
This is because of the existence of the slave contract, the energy in the slave's body is exploited by the immortal clan indefinitely, and the lifespan becomes very short.
Neither of Slave Thirteen's parents lived past the age of thirty, and he was already the only descendant of the family.
Therefore, Slave Thirteen can't die too early.
He sometimes thinks, "At least I have to stay up until I reach adulthood, and find a slave and maid who are the right people to give birth to an heir together, so that the incense will not be cut off in my hands." ”
......
Bell, bell, bell......
At this moment, Nu Thirteen was raising the sledgehammer with both hands and smashing it into the stone wall containing the spirit jade veins again and again.
Beside him, other slaves smashed the stone wall with him, and the dull and regular sound of hammers was endless.
They smashed the raw jade ore from the stone wall, and the slaves who were responsible for carrying it moved the ore out of the tunnel, and the mined raw jade ore was stored in the sinkhole, and the slave soldiers escorted out of the ore vein in batches.
Then it was transported into the Immortal Family Clan, and the team composed of the Immortal Refining Immortals uniformly screened and refined the raw ore, and finally turned it into a spirit jade that could be used by the Immortal Cultivators.
In the process of producing spiritual jade, the slaves bear the most dangerous and arduous link. But in the end, when they enjoyed the benefits brought by the spirit jade, they did not have their share.
As soon as Slave Thirteen was born, he followed his parents to work in the mines. As soon as I learned to walk, I was asked to carry rocks, and if the big ones couldn't move, I would hold the small ones.
Later, his parents died one after another, and the stones he could move became bigger and bigger, until now, Nu 13 could swing a 100-pound sledgehammer and smash it for six or seven hours without stopping.
Twelve years have passed without realizing it.
......
"It's time to eat!"
A rough voice came from the mouth of the alleyway.
This sound of opening the meal made all the slaves, including Slave Thirteen, throw away the hammer in their hands almost at the same time, and frantically squeeze towards the narrow alleyway.
The physically strong will do everything in their power to knock the weak under the wall.
If you are lucky enough not to be trampled underfoot, you will immediately get up with a blank face after being knocked down.
No one had the heart to care about the lives and deaths of the other slaves, including Slave XIII.
Slave Thirteen not only had to use all the strength he had to run forward with the others, but he also had to be careful not to fall.
If a slave accidentally breaks his ribs by stepping on him, his fate is death. However, if you don't grab food, you won't have the physical strength to work, and you may be exhausted to death when you start work the next time.
Therefore, for these slaves, every time they have a meal, it is a war of life and death.
