Chapter Seventy-One: The Southern Xinjiang Mine

Southern Xinjiang Mine

This is a Yuanlingshi vein bordering southern Xinjiang, which belongs to Huaqingmen and is an important asset of Huaqingmen.

At this time, Wu Tian was working hard with the mortal miners to dig the mountain stones in the mine, and occasionally popped out one or two Yuan Spirit Stones into the back basket behind him.

At this time, more than three months have passed since Wu Tianxiu was deposed, and after Wu Tian's golden pill was broken, he became a mortal, and under the arrangement of Elder Ye, he came to the Southern Xinjiang Mine.

Although he is a miner who works as a coolie, but fortunately, he is still under the protection of Huaqing Gate, which is safer than sending Wu Tian back to Shiyuan County, who knows if the unreasonable Pu Zhitian will do it to Wu Tian, who is already a mortal.

And Elder Ye, who sent Wu Tian to the Southern Xinjiang Mine, began to travel around, hoping to find a way to make Wu Tian re-take the path of cultivating immortals......

The Master of the Three Yuan also began to study various ancient pills, hoping that there would be an elixir that would allow Wu Tian to re-cultivate......

Wu Tian, who has been in the mine for three months, has gradually become accustomed to life here.

Every day at sunrise, like other miners, they go deep into the mine to work, and when the sun sets, they walk out of the mine with the day's harvest on their backs, and finish the day's work, and at noon they are fed with dry food brought into the mine.

The miners working in the mine are all mortals, some of them have violated the criminal law and have been punished to the mine for labor reform, while more are for survival, looking for a chance to survive in the mine.

Mine work is a dangerous job, from time to time there are landslides, gas explosions and other accidents, almost every few days to die, here life is cheaper than dogs.

There were accidents, dead people, buried on the spot, and even some serious accidents with landslides, the mine simply abandoned the mine, and the mortals buried in it were buried in it.

For a long time, there was a mass grave on the low hill next to the mine, and the best friendship between the miners was that after an accident to a miner, his friends were able to bury him in the mass grave.

And like Wu Tian, who used to be a high-ranking immortal cultivator, a dignified Jindan period monk, was thrown into the mine after being abolished and cultivated, Wu Tian was the first.

Due to the miners' long-term grudge against the high-ranking immortal cultivators, Wu Tian did not have a friend in the mine.

On this day, as the sun set, a piece of afterglow sprinkled and dyed the entire mine golden yellow, Wu Tian walked out of the mine with a basket full of Yuan Ling stones, blinked his eyes a few times, and slowly adapted to the light on the ground.

Wu Tian carried a basket on his back and lined up with a group of miners who came out of the mine to hand in his harvest for today's harvest in exchange for food for the evening and the next day.

Wu Tian was a little stiff, followed the team and walked forward slowly, inadvertently glancing at the mass grave not far away.

Perhaps, that's where I belong.

This thought surged up in Wu Tian's heart for no reason, and the mass graves were full of miners like him.

"Wu Tian, today's amount is not enough! It is one percent less than yesterday! The amount of food is thirty percent less!"

The overseer who was in charge of collecting the miners' Yuan Spirit Stones glanced at Wu Tian's back basket on the ground, and said in a very impatient tone.

"There was a small landslide today, so ......"

"I don't care if you have a collapse or not, and if you don't have enough food, you have to eat!

The overseer didn't listen to Wu Tian's explanation at all, and handed over two pieces of hard cakes as hard as stones very impatiently, under normal circumstances, no one would have three cakes a day, but today Wu Tian was deducted because the amount of Yuan Ling Stone mined was reduced by one percent.

Wu Tian did not answer, but silently took the two pieces of bread handed over by the overseer, and silently walked towards his shed.

"Hmph! I don't want to be a miner here now!"

"Eh, isn't the Jindan monk Bigu, what kind of cake do you eat~ haha......"

There was a burst of laughter from the overseers behind Wu Tian, Wu Tian was already numb to this, Wu Tian, who was once a monk in the Jindan period, had become the talk and joke of the overseers after tea and dinner here.

"Hey, Great Monk, have you been deprived of food again today? Look at your small body, you can't resist it for a few days?

Wu Tian was about to enter the shed, and a strong man with a pimple on his face leaned against the door and said in a somewhat playful manner.

Wu Tian didn't pay attention to him, and went straight back to his bed, saying that it was a bed, but in fact it was just a rotten wooden board spread on the ground.

Because the new miners were squeezed out by the old miners, Wu Tian was squeezed to the far corner of the shed, and the shed above the corner happened to have a hole with a large bowl mouth, and on a rainy day, it was a heavy rain outside and a light rain in the house.

However, Wu Tian endured all this silently, he didn't tell anyone, and even the phone was turned off all the time, so far, the people of the Wu family in Shiyuan County, far away, still thought that Wu Tian was cultivating in Huaqingmen.

In the past three months, Wu Tian has matured a lot, gradually seen this world of the jungle clearly, and learned to report good news and not bad news, no matter how difficult it is for him, he doesn't want to mention it to his family.

Let yourself die silently here, and your soul will return to the mass grave......

Wu Tian's heart is now like ashes, and his former ideals have been ruthlessly crushed.

Seek the path of immortals, seek longevity, and prove the avenue.

Everything is in tatters!

In this world where the weak eat the strong and strength is respected, Wu Tian, who has become a mortal, has no ideas.

Even...... I thought about it for the rest of my life, but in the end I didn't put it into action.

The Walking Dead, used to accommodate Wu Tian's current state, couldn't be more suitable.

When he was just abolished, he still had illusions in his heart, fantasizing that one day he would be able to rise again, grasp the authority of the world, and deal a fatal blow to those who hurt him!

Pay back all the sins you have suffered now!

But as he spent more and more time in the mine, Wu Tian gradually erased this illusion.

Cultivation has been abolished, and it is no longer possible to embark on the path of cultivation, and without strength, it will lose the capital to compete for power.

Accept the reality!

What if you don't accept it?!

Wu Tian sighed heavily in his heart, shrank in the corner of the shed, and gnawed on the dough cake as hard as a stone.

Soon after, he fell into a deep sleep......

I have to go down the mine tomorrow to mine, and I must hurry up to replenish my strength!

The next day, a morning sun in the sky sprinkled light on the earth, Wu Tian had already carried a basket on his back, carrying a leftover cake from yesterday in his arms, lined up in a group of miners, and went down to the mine one after another.

Not long after Wu Tian and the other miners went down the mine, a violent shaking shook the gravel in the mine and flew around.

"It's a landslide! Run!"

I don't know who shouted, and a group of miners quickly ran towards the exit of the mine, and Wu Tian was also caught in the crowd fleeing for his life.

"Ahh

Suddenly, a cry for help sounded, Wu Tian turned his head and saw that it was an elderly miner who was crushed by a large stone under the strong shaking, and the surrounding miners only cared about running for their lives and didn't even look at him.

Wu Tian struggled slightly in his heart, resolutely returned to the mine, and ran towards the elderly miner.

"Thank you...... Thank you! help me...... I don't want to die!"

When the elderly miner saw someone running towards him, he shouted loudly at Wu Tian as if he was grasping a life-saving straw.

"Don't worry, this stone is a bit big, I'll find a tool!"

Wu Tian ran to the old miner and saw that the stone pressing his leg was a little big, and he couldn't move it by himself, so he went to the neighborhood to look for tools, such as a shovel or something, to pry the stone open.

Soon, Wu Tian came back with a shovel, and with all his might, he finally pried the stone open, and the old miner was freed.

"Let's go!"

Wu Tian greeted the old miner and ran towards the exit of the mine, and at this time there were only two of them left in the entire mine.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, a violent collapse occurred in the depths of the mine, and a huge cloud of smoke and dust poured towards the exit of the mine.

"Wow!"

There was another small sound of rocks collapsing, and suddenly the mine was plunged into darkness.

"Oh no! the exit is buried!"

The old miner shouted, and Wu Tian next to him was stunned at this time.

Am I going to die here?

Looks like I don't even have a chance to go to a mass grave......

"It's okay! It's not very deep, dig together, there should be hope to dig up!"

The old miner who stepped forward to check the situation turned his head and shouted to Wu Tian, but Wu Tian stood in place in a daze at this time and did not move.

"What's wrong?!Are you hurt?!"

Because it was dark in the mine, the old miner couldn't see the situation behind clearly, thinking that Wu Tian had been injured by the rocks just now, so he quickly retreated to check.

"Hmm, it's good if it's not hurt! Come and dig together, there should be hope! Don't expect the people up there to come and save us!"

The old miner retreated and grabbed Wu Tian, who was stunned there, stretched out his hand to grope on Wu Tian's body for a while, and after making sure that Wu Tian was not injured, he pulled Wu Tian towards the exit, wanting to dig up the gravel at the exit.

"The ...... that can't be dug up"

Wu Tian followed Wu Tian to the exit as if he had lost his mind, and the entire exit was blocked by rubble, and even the light could not leak in.

"How do you know if you can dig it up if you don't try?!"

The old miner was also a little excited, shouted, then ignored Wu Tian, grabbed a shovel and began to dig up gravel.

"Sonorous...... Sonorous ......"

The sound of the old miner's shovel digging gravel smashed into Wu Tian's heart, and Wu Tian's heart also beat with the sound of the old miner digging gravel......

Yes, this is such an old miner, who is trying so hard to survive!

What reason do I have to give up?!

As long as you live, isn't there hope?!

"Sonorous...... Sonorous ......"

Finally, Wu Tian's heart was smashed by the sound of the old miner digging gravel again, and Wu Tian was 'alive' again!

Wu Tian grabbed the shovel next to him and dug up the gravel with the old miner.

At this time, Wu Tian had only one thought in his heart, to live!

There is hope if you live!

No matter how bad it is, it's not as bad as dying!

As long as you live, you will definitely be fine!

Wu Tian dug the gravel all the time, and his heart gradually became firm with the sound of digging!

In the dark cave, he couldn't feel the passage of time, Wu Tian kept digging, and his hands were grinding out blood blisters, but he still didn't stop.

The old miner was already tired and lay down to rest.

"Wow!"

As Wu Tian's shovel went down, a beam of light suddenly shot in.

Wu Tian, who looked at this beam of light, trembled in his heart.

This is the light of life!

It's dug up!

Wu Tian was ecstatic, and the old miner on the side saw that there was light coming in, and immediately turned up from the ground, grabbed the shovel with excitement, and dug hard with Wu Tian again.

After a long time, with Wu Tian's last shovel going down, he finally dug a hole that a person could drill through.

"Dig up! We're saved!"

The old miner hugged Wu Tian excitedly, Wu Tian felt the old miner's idea of survival, and two lines of tears rolled out of his eyes.

Are miners bitter?

But this is how the old miners who live in misery have such a strong sense of survival.

Stay alive!

And live to the fullest!

It's okay if you can't practice! Mortals can live very well!

Isn't your previous life a mortal?!
