There is a corner at the end of the staircase, and after the corner, you can see a glimmer of light after walking no more than twenty feet.

"There's something wrong with this passage, be careful. Di Yunfeng reminded.

There is a very rare phenomenon in the corner passage, at least in the distortion world, and the double walls of the passage are covered with green vines.

Among the five elements, wood is the most fundamental and the most important source, where the wood is born, there must be water and soil, water and soil, one side of the water and soil to raise one person, if the water and soil is the source of life, then wood is the transmitter of life.

Di Yunfeng and Duan Qianyang cautiously stepped through the vines, and when they got closer, they found that it was a black 'cloth door' that separated the passage from the firelight.

The two gently lifted the curtain and slipped into it one after the other.

The light after darkness was always so dazzling, and although Di Yunfeng and Duan Qianyang were prepared, they were still stabbed by this strong light, and they covered their eyes for more than ten breaths before they eased up slightly.

"How are you?" Di Yunfeng said.

"It's fine, it's just that the light is so fucking flashing. Duan Qianyang said.

There is no deliberate lighting in the pit, because the stones in the pit are glowing, or it is this kind of luminous lighting stone that is mined.

The Illumination Stone is so bright that the light source is embedded in the entire cavern from beginning to end, and in addition to the lack of heat, it emits enough light to pass a small sun!

The cave is very large, and if it weren't for the black "cloth door" and two railroad tracks as a mark, you would have gotten lost when you first entered the cave.

There are about 200 workers in the mine, and the division of labor is very clear, each in place, each in his own business, dozens of people with shovels to keep digging lighting stones, dozens of people carrying stones onto mine trucks, dozens of people coming to transport ...... I don't know if they were too serious, or if their consciousness was long gone, Duan Qianyang and Di Yunfeng's visit did not attract their attention.

This is a good thing for Di Yunfeng and Duan Qianyang, at least their Qi Condensation Bead and Stealth Technique have passed.

"Are you like me, do you think they are missing something?" Di Yunfeng asked Duan Qianyang.

Duan Qianyang said: "They have no life, no consciousness, slow movements, like machines, and they are no longer human. ”

"Let's do an experiment. ”

Di Yunfeng picked up a luminous stone from the ground and smashed it at a worker by the way!

"Smack!" the stone hit the back of the worker's head, accidentally smashing his head and breaking the bleeding. The worker, however, was completely unconscious, throwing stones at the shovel and shovel, and never looked up at anyone from beginning to end.

Those absenteeism in the empire who throw high prices and collect unlimited people are roughly the people in front of them, who think that they will be uprooted from their hometowns, and as long as they can make money, they will grit their teeth and pass. It's a pity that the employer is more greedy, he needs a kind of empty man who is tireless and will not rest, so the puppet is born.

Duan Qianyang sighed: "If I were a black-hearted miner, I would also purchase a batch of tireless puppets like this, which can save a lot of capital." ”

"But the human body is not a machine, and even a machine will break down one day, let alone a person made of flesh and skin?" Di Yunfeng said, and pointed to the worker who had just been stoned by himself: "Look"

The worker whose head had been smashed was apparently slower and more sluggish, and his head was bleeding so much that even his red and white brains were leaking out...... Eventually, he went down and died completely.

Di Yunfeng sighed: "It's not gossip behind your back, the people in the ghost world, except for those monks above the immortal bones, everyone else is a pitiful worm." Although these puppets can work endlessly, their lifespan is only one month at most, and without the blessing of the human pill, their physical bodies will rot, and finally only a pitiful remnant soul remains. ”

"And what about those remnant souls?" Duan Qianyang asked.

Di Yunfeng shook his head: "I don't know, but I can be sure that the remnant soul will definitely not end well, the corpse can be used to refine the corpse, the soul can be used to refine the soul, and the smart businessman will always know how to use waste." ”

Duan Qianyang was secretly sad: "Labor to death, after death, the remnant soul cannot be freed, and it has to be reused as waste......

Di Yunfeng said coldly: "In the eyes of these black businessmen, there are only eternal interests, there is no so-called sympathy, even if the remnant soul cannot refine the soul, they will find a way to reuse the remnant soul, even if it is used as fuel, so the old wood ghost must be eradicated, and the way of heaven will not allow it!"

"And what kind of puppets are these puppets? Gu corpses, sick corpses, or soul corpses?"

Duan Qianyang rubbed his skull: "Alas, it's really big." ”

When Duan Qianyang complained about his big head, Di Yunfeng had quietly walked up, and for Di Yunfeng, any guess was not as strong as actually walking.

"You wait for me. Duan Qianyang shouted, and was about to catch up with Di Yunfeng's pace, but at this moment, he heard a "boom", the speed was extremely fast, and a black shadow flashed from Duan Qianyang's ears!

"Be careful!" Duan Qianyang reminded.

Di Yunfeng's skills are good, his toes lightly touched the ground, flew up seven or eight feet, and the volley flashed the attack of the black shadow.

Duan Qianyang was shocked, he didn't think of Di Yunfeng's light exercises, he only felt that there was a long green strip in his ear that was so straight that it was terrifying.

"It's the vines, it's not us. ”

Di Yunfeng landed beside Duan Qianyang lightly, pulled him aside, and pointed to the end of the vine and said, "Its target is Fang Cai's fallen corpse." ”

The vine was a blood-sucking vine, and it plunged straight into the back of the corpse's head, and it sucked heartily with a "grunt" sound.

"As I said, it must not be a good thing to grow vegetation in this place, it turned out to be for bloodsqueuring. After Duan Qianyang calmed down, he scolded.

Di Yunfeng shook his head and said, "It's not just for bloodsucking, you're watching." ”

Even if the corpse has been sucked to the point that only skin and bones remain, the vine still has no intention of "loosening its mouth", on the contrary, it tears and expands the large mouth as thick as an arm more than ten times, and swallows the corpse with its mouth open If you have ever seen a python swallowing a cow, then the scene is about the same!

"Seeing that Lao Tzu's scalp is numb, why don't you chop it up together?" Duan Qianyang scratched his head and proposed.

Di Yunfeng shook his head and said: "No, this vine is very spiritual, I suspect that these worker puppets are controlled by it, if we cut it down and startle it, it will mobilize workers to retaliate against us." ”

"Is it feasible for that fire to burn it?" Duan Qianyang said again.

Di Yunfeng pursed his lips and nodded: "This method is feasible, but it has to be left in the end, this harmful thing will have to wipe it out sooner or later, but we are just exploring now, and before we figure out the pattern of the mine, don't act rashly, so as not to affect the overall situation." ”

"Lao Tzu thinks, I haven't seen you for a long time, you have become fucking smarter, after we left, haven't you been intoxicated in Gentle Township?" Duan Qianyang praised with a smile.

Di Yunfeng said awe-inspiringly: "Even if Lao Tzu has a woman sleeping in his arms, isn't he still thinking about you in his heart?

Duan Qianyang said with a smile: "That's not necessary, if you don't come, I may still be happy in Jiuyou." ”

Di Yunfeng sighed lightly and asked, "Friends and wives can't be bullied, you said it yourself, did you bring a green hat to the Nine Emperors?"

Duan Qianyang thought about it, but asked, "Does it count if you have hugged it?"

"You, you, ......," Di Yunfeng shook his head and sighed softly.

Duan Qianyang hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't think about it, we are just hugging after a long absence, and it was she who hugged me, although I know that she has the same feelings for me, but I also take the initiative to resist...... The words he said in the carriage before were all jokes with Lao Jiu, you must not take it seriously. ”

Di Yunfeng smiled indifferently: "Hehe, why are you nervous? I don't worry about your personality, I just feel sorry for the woman called 'Long'er', her heart can be divided into two, but her body can't do it." ”

Duan Qianyang sighed, sad and helpless: "Long Er is afraid that she is the happiest woman in the world, Lao Jiu loves her very much, I love her very much, and I believe that she has already made a choice in her heart, otherwise she will wait for me even if it is a thousand years." ”

"How much courage does it take to give up a woman and wish her happiness?" Di Yunfeng's eyes rolled, and he said, "Anyway, I won't, never." ”

Duan Qianyang said: "Don't talk about your romantic history, Hua Damei is not a good stubble, you show mercy to her everywhere, and in the end, it depends on how you end." ”

Di Yunfeng only said four words: "Go with the flow." ”

The two of them walked along the railroad tracks, and after learning that the puppet was unconscious, their steps were quite easy.

"Bang ......" minecart drove down the railroad tracks behind the two, dozens of long carriages, full of glowing stones.

"Get in the car. ”

Di Yunfeng grabbed Duan Qianyang's arm and jumped lightly to sit on the first carriage of the minecart.

Duan Qianyang checked the front of the car up and down, left and right, and finally praised: "After living for more than 100,000 years, it's the first time I've seen these strange things, no driver can run by himself, and he can run fast." ”

Di Yunfeng said with a smile: "The principle of these minecarts is actually the same as that of Xianzhou, and giving them energy and transmission mechanisms can make them run. ”

Duan Qianyang was puzzled, "But do you know where it's heading?" ”

Di Yunfeng pointed to an opposing iron track: "This one is forward, the opposite one is backward, let's take the car, and then take the car back, it won't be delayed for long." ”

"Bang bang!" Sure enough, the minecart began to roar, and its speed increased significantly.

It took about a quarter of an hour for the minecart to drive from light to darkness, paused in the darkness for about fifteen breaths, and then drilled into the light again to reach the second pit.

The light of the second pit is less noticeable, with glowing stones embedded in the walls

On the wall, it was completely used as a tool for illumination.

The second pit was much larger than the first, and the number of workers in it alone showed that there were at least five or six hundred people in the pit, and it was a dull yellow stone, and the stone had a very pungent smell of gunpowder, and it should not be wrong to be sulphur.

The minecart stopped on its own, and the workers began to carry the sulfur stone onto the minecart, and when the three carts were filled, the minecart drove slowly again.

This time the minecart traveled for about half an hour, and the dark time was a quarter of an hour, and when the light returned, it was as if it had traveled through time and space to another world, where there was no more noisy mining sound, and there were no dazzling glowing stones, and the number of rails had increased from two to a dozen, and there were as many as seven or eight minecarts parked here.

The minecart is parked in the third pit, where the ore is sorted and reloaded onto the minecart, which is transported to its final destination.

In the third pit is a towering tree with leafy branches and roots that stick into the ground and pierce into the wall. The corpses of the workers on the trees were fishermen, and the fishing tools were the blood-sucking vines seen earlier, which dug deep into the workers' spines as if providing nourishment.

"The corpse is like a fruit, cultivated by the mother tree at this moment. The fruit is ripe and used on the ground. The fruit dies and is re-absorbed and turned into nutrients to supply another 'fruit', so that the real waste utilization can be realized," Di Yunfeng couldn't help but admire: "I have to say, although this practice is cruel and hateful, I still have to say: wonderful, wonderful!"

Duan Qianyang looked at the towering tree coldly and said, "I don't care how it works, this tree is the source of evil, and it must be uprooted." ”

"No hurry, let's do another experiment to see how the tree works. Di Yunfeng grabbed another stone and threw it at a worker. This time he happened to break the worker's spine, and the worker was no longer able to move, so he lay on the ground, convulsed for a while, and stopped moving.

Soon, the tree detached a vine, which, as it had seen in the first pit, first sucked blood and then swallowed the man whole like a python.

If you eat a person, you will naturally vomit out a person. The worker hanging from the tree was put back on the ground by the vine, and the vine was removed from the worker's spine, and the worker instantly opened his eyes and took over from the previous man and began to sort the ore.

"Don't you think it's incredible?" Di Yunfeng couldn't help but admire.

Duan Qianyang said indifferently: "If the person who cultivates this demon tree can put the Fa on the right path, I believe that no matter which realm, they will compete for it...... Hmph, it's a pity that he chose the wrong camp, even if he is a talent, Lao Tzu will never spare him. ”

"Yes, a tree is just a tree after all, and the people who nurture it, the people who manipulate it, are our most important targets. ”

Di Yunfeng cautiously walked to the bottom of the big tree, took out a dagger and a small bottle, and used the dagger to gently cut the stem veins of the big tree, and the stem veins were actually as red liquid as blood.

He put the "blood" in a small medicine bottle and put it away, and said, "Bring these things back to Master Wuzang for study." ”

The sorting mine is criss-crossed, it is a post station, and the train is a fast horse, which can be reached wherever you want to go.

"Let's go back first, and then come down together when the situation is determined. Di Yunfeng jumped onto the overturned mine lane.

Duan Qianyang jumped on the minecart and proposed, "Why don't we just go and find out for ourselves? ”

Di Yunfeng shook his head and said helplessly: "Do you think they will be willing to wait where they are?" I'm afraid that if we go back late, they will all have to find it." ”

Duan Qianyang sighed: "Let's not talk about the frost, that flower is not low in cultivation, and there is a big white crane tower under his hand, why can't he see the light in his brain?"

Di Yunfeng said with a smile: "The White Crane Tower is different from the noble generals Bai, Wen Xun and other parties, they are mainly business-oriented in the imperial capital, and there are many Qingqi, Hongqi, jewelry stores, and clothing stores...... It can be said that half of the imperial officials' fortunes came from the White Crane Tower. The women of the White Crane Tower are good material for business, but they have to rely on men to fight and kill. ”

Duan Qianyang hammered Di Yunfeng's arm and persuaded: "Hey, then you kid don't lose, if you obey her, with your ability and her money, it will only be a thousand years at most...... Oh no, a thousand years is too early, two thousand years! If you precipitate two thousand years, I will let Lao Jiu help you again, pack the ticket, you will be the next Emperor of Hades!"

Di Yunfeng hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I don't want to be an emperor, even if I am an emperor, I have to be the kind of soil emperor, regardless of men, only women and sons." ”

Duan Qianyang stroked his chin, and said: "You can also accept this woman by the way, she is no worse than the woman you found in the fairy world, and she is rich and powerful, it doesn't hurt to marry her." ”

"Shhh...... I said, are you worried about Lao Tzu's affairs?" Di Yunfeng rolled his eyes at Duan Qianyang.

"Cut, Lao Tzu doesn't want to see someone follow Lao Tzu's old path, so Lao Tzu persuaded you to accept her, man, I'd rather do something wrong, don't miss it!"

Good sentence, men would rather do it wrong, and don't miss it.
