Chapter 7 - Wuliang Mountain Veins
At this time, Mu Yan jumped out of the house, saw Lin Yang in the courtyard, had a smile on his face, and stepped forward to hold Lin Yang's arm.
A little coquettish said: "Brother Lin Yang, accompany me to the beach and find me some beautiful stones, the green stone I found last time is so beautiful." ”
Mu Yan and Lin Yang have been getting along for the past few months, and the two have become familiar with each other.
Mu Yan is no longer as shy as he was when he first met Lin Yang.
At this moment, he has long regarded Lin Yang as his own brother, sometimes coquettish, sometimes naughty.
When Lin Yang saw Mu Yan like this, he also regarded Mu Yan as his little sister, and went to the reef near the sea in his spare time to find some beautiful stones for Mu Yan.
Every time I saw Mu Yan get the stone, she was happy.
Lin Yang will remember the scene of giving the little sister a stone on Chiyan Island.
At this moment, Lin Yang has regarded Mu Yan as his sister Lin Hui.
Three days later, Lin Yang and two other members of the Mu clan, escorted by the patriarch, left the island where the Mu family was located in a small boat and boarded a large ship dedicated to transporting miners.
There were dozens of people on board, all mortals living on nearby islands.
Like Lin Yang, they are all young adults who were selected to be miners this time.
The speed of the big ship was very fast, and it arrived at the Tianyi Continent half a month later.
The big ship was docked at a pier on the shore, and there were many people bustling on the shore, most of them loading and unloading the cargo of the merchant ship.
In the far middle of the dock was a beast cart.
This beast chariot is very beautiful, a kind of golden wood grain carriage, glowing with golden light, the carriage is full of three zhang in size, it looks very magnificent.
What caught Lin Yang's attention the most was the beast like a cow pulling the cart.
The beast had the head of a bull, a single horn on the top of its head, dark and shiny, bulging dark blue eyes, and strong limbs.
The outline of the muscles can be clearly seen, and the body is blue-gray without a single hair, as if carved in stone.
Lin Yang had never seen such a strange-looking beast, and his eyes always stayed on this beast.
At this moment, someone whispered in my ear.
"The ox cart, the one that pulls the cart is the bull, I heard that this bull is very powerful, and the speed of running is very fast, faster than a horse. ”
"Ramming the cow. ”
The first time Lin Yang heard this name, a person walked out of the ox cart.
This person is dressed in a white robe, with a ruddy complexion, bright eyes, and a lock of beard, looking majestic, and a bit of a fairy-like style.
Could it be that this person is an immortal?
The miners on board all stepped off the ship one after another, and there were people on the dock who arranged for them to pedal into the ox-tamping cart.
Lin Yang also followed the crowd and entered the carriage, and everyone squatted on the floor together.
Although the ox cart is not small, it still seems a little crowded with dozens of people sitting in at once.
At this time, the box shook, and the ox cart left the dock.
The atmosphere in the carriage was somewhat dreary, and no one dared to speak loudly.
Occasionally, someone whispered, and the wind whistled outside the car was heard.
The speed of the ox ramming cart was very fast, and from the crack in the door of the carriage, it was clear that the surrounding scenery was flying backwards.
Lin Yang's eyes were fixed on the outside, and there was an indescribable excitement in his heart.
He had also heard that the continent where the Eastern Song Kingdom was located was called the Tianyi Continent, and this continent was very large.
Through the rush in the past few days, Lin Yang also realized that the Tianyi Continent seemed to be as huge as the sea area around Chiyan Island.
In the evening of that day, the car stopped on the side of the road as usual.
Everyone got out of the carriage, and there happened to be a forest beside the road.
The white-robed immortal who was sitting on the back of the rammed ox jumped down from the back of the rammed ox, distributed some rations and water to everyone, and rested here for a while.
After a few days, what made Lin Yang strange was that he had never seen this person eating.
Doesn't this immortal have to eat?
Aren't immortals hungry if they don't eat?
Lin Yang couldn't figure it out.
Half an hour later, everyone entered the carriage again, and the ox cart continued to run forward
As soon as he walked out of a distance of more than ten zhang, the ox cart suddenly stopped.
The fairy opened the door of the trunk and glanced into the carriage, then a sarcastic smile appeared on his face.
He didn't speak, but pointed behind him, and a sword more than a foot long flew out of his hand, and in the blink of an eye, the sword grew to more than three feet long.
The sword swirled, lightning fast, towards the grove behind him, followed by a scream.
The screams were heard by the people inside the car.
Although I didn't see the specific scene, I also guessed that the scream just now should be that the immortal on the back of the rammed ox killed a mortal.
At this moment, the sword flew back into the white-robed immortal's hand again, shrinking to more than a foot long.
I saw this immortal wiping the blood stains on the sword with a white cloth, and at the same time said to these people in the carriage: "You honestly don't be smart, that person just now wanted to take advantage of the rest to try to escape.
As a result, you lost your life, and if any of you tried to escape, it would be worse than this man's death. ”
There was no sound in the carriage, it turned out to be one of them, and when he was resting just now, he took advantage of the others' unpreparedness and secretly hid in the grove next to him.
thought that in this way, he could avoid going to the mine to be a miner and save his life.
I didn't expect to be discovered by that immortal and lose my life.
Among the people in the carriage, he may be the only one who holds this idea.
So, I was secretly glad that I didn't have the first try, otherwise I might have died.
Many people saw the scene where the immortal used his sword to kill that person just now, and most of these people were children in their teens.
Knowing that the immortal had just killed someone, he didn't dare to look at the immortal anymore, and his heart was full of fear.
Half a month later, the ox truck successfully reached the halfway point of a hill.
This is a square that has been artificially carved out to be hundreds of zhang in size.
It is said to be a square, but it is actually a slightly flatter and empty place.
Near the belly of the mountain, there is a swarthy cave several zhang in size, which must be the entrance to the mine.
At the entrance to this mine, there are two stone houses, which are about the size of ordinary wings.
At this moment, several more ox-tamping carts rushed along the mountain road, and the drivers parked the ox-tamping carts on the side of the square.
There were dozens of people walking out of each car, and these people were also ordinary mortals.
It seems that they are also miners recruited by Tsing Yi Gate.
Lin Yang looked into the distance, the mountains here were not very high, overgrown with weeds and some low bushes.
Occasionally, a few birds fly up from the weeds, making a squeaky sound.
The sight here makes people feel empty and desolate.
Three hours later, two or three hundred people had gathered in the square.
At this time, a person with the cheeks of a sharp-beaked monkey stood on top of a flying sword, suspended in mid-air.
The man coughed lightly, and everyone in the square looked at him.
Seeing that this person could actually stand on top of a sword, suspended in mid-air, they were all amazed.
Seeing this person, he swept his gaze to everyone present, then nodded and began to speak loudly.
"Welcome to our Wuliangshan vein, I am the steward of this vein, and several of them are deputy stewards. ”
As he spoke, the man pointed to the people on the side.
The sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man continued: "My name is Wu Yunshan, and you can call me Wu Steward in the future."
Now that you've come here and know that your mission is mining, let me announce some of your specific tasks and precautions:
First, each person will dig up two hundred low-level spirit stones every month, hand them over to your captain, and exchange them for next month's rations.
If you dig up two intermediate spirit stones, even if you complete this month's mining task, you can also receive the next month's rations.
If anyone can dig up a high-grade spirit stone, I can guarantee that person will have three years of miner labor, and he will be able to expire early and go home freely.
A few words made everyone present a little excited in their hearts, and they saw hope in each other's eyes.
Many people think that if they are lucky enough to dig up a high-grade spirit stone.
Then you can go home early, and you don't have to suffer here.
At this time, this steward Wu also saw what everyone was thinking.
The corners of his mouth twitched, and he said with a sneer: "High-grade spirit stones, it's not so easy to dig up, I've been here for five years, and I haven't seen any miners dig high-grade spirit stones."
Today I warn you not to try to escape from here, for your every move is under our control, and no one has ever been able to escape from here.
After three years of hard mining, each of you can receive sixty taels of silver and go home.
Do you understand everything?
Okay, let's divide you into teams, and each of you can go to the captain to get this month's ration, and go down to work. ”
