Chapter 3 Breaking through the Mountains
The little white-faced Qianhu said that the seven killings were strict, and he also brought a hundred Tsing Yi to urge the horses into the team, and he also took care of a thousand criminal households, which happened to be Liang Xin's team.
The commanders of those ordinary soldiers handed over the roster, street signs and other affairs to Tsing Yi one by one, and after confirming that they were correct, they closed the team and left.
After the army left, the hundreds of households gave orders: "Set up camp, start at dawn." ”
At this time, the little white-faced Qianhu, who had never stopped talking, let out a sneer, and said without raising his head: "Yin Funeral Filth, you have been waiting for a long time!"
Liang Xin was shocked, and his whole body was involuntarily ready to go!
Usually at this time, the wind and customs should have arrived a long time ago, it should have been that the officers and soldiers did not dare to show up, and quietly hid aside, but I didn't expect the little white-faced Qianhu to find him a long time ago.
The little white-faced Qianhu sneered, stretched out his finger lazily, and gently touched the northwest.
His guidance was powerless, only Feng Xi knew that people had clearly pointed to his hiding place. The air trembled, and Feng Xixi's sad face appeared, and he bowed down and whispered to Qianhu: "My lord, spare my life, I, I ......"
The Kowloon Tsing Yi behind Qianhu saw that there was indeed a little ghost appearing, and he was about to step forward when he pulled out the embroidered spring knife, but after seeing the money spots on Feng Xi's face, Xiao Bai raised his eyebrows imperceptibly, waved his hand to stop his subordinates, and said lightly to Feng Xi: "This official shoulders the heavy trust of the imperial court, and he doesn't want to make extraneous branches, you leave quickly!"
As he spoke, Xiao Bai's face paused for a moment, and he sneered: "There are many cultivators in front, if you get a few miles closer, only your soul will be scattered!"
A few Kowloon Tsing Yi who followed behind Xiao Baiyan quietly glanced at each other, their eyes full of doubts, and they didn't understand how their adults had become so kind.
Feng Xixi wanted to say something, but in the end, he just stomped his foot unwillingly, carefully swept Liang Xin with the corner of his eye, turned around and left quickly......
Liang Xin really breathed a sigh of relief, dispersed the strength in his body, and followed the other sinners to drive piles and set up tents.
After the wind left, the little white face frowned slightly.
Behind him came a fat black and fat man with big ears and a fat man, who was Qu Qingshi's henchman, and whispered: "My lord, when the little ghost appeared, that kid was about to attack. He pointed to Liang Xin's back with his hand
Xiaobai smiled and said, "I know." It's none of your business!"
The black fat man Tsing Yi immediately bowed down and retreated......
Early the next morning, the brigade set out on the road again, and when they were on the way, there were few prisoners in the guilty household, thinking that they could run away. As a result, all those who tried to escape were mercilessly killed, and after hundreds of deaths, the criminals really understood that these Tsing Yi guards were like eagles and falcons, eared civet cats, and each of them had a dog's nose!
Two days later, Liang Xin finally followed the team to the place where the strange stone was, although he had been prepared in his heart, he couldn't help but gasp with his mouth long, and the companions around him, without exception, all made a move with him, and the strange sounds of sucking and sucking came and went for a while...... From a distance, everyone looked in a circle.
The mountains are all over the wilderness, densely packed with blue-black tents, and countless ragged sinners carry earth and stones, like busy ants.
A huge hole had been dug in the ground, and in the middle lay a gray and white, disgusting stone vein. The stone veins are in the shape of bamboo shoots, and the further west they extend, the thicker they become, until they reach the end of the line of sight, turning to the bottom of Kunai Mountain. Wooden shelves have been erected around the excavated stone veins to prevent anyone from accidentally touching and dying.
A team of Kowloon Tsing Yi patrolled around, strictly preventing criminals from escaping or slacking off; there would often be sword light flashing in the air, this is Zhu Li's dojo's cultivation master Imperial Sword patrol, not looking at mortals, only probing the demon arrogance!
Boom! Boom!
With the tremor of the earthquake and the earth-shattering loud noise, the sinners who dig the stone veins are using fire and thunder to open the mountain......
Liang Xin swallowed with difficulty: "This won't collapse the mountain, right?"
The little white-faced Qianhu was at the head of their team, not far from Liang Xin, and when he heard his muttering exclamation, he turned around and laughed unprecedentedly: "How many times have it collapsed a long time ago! After it collapses, it will be dug again, reinforced, blown up again, and then collapsed and ......dug again."
Liang Xin didn't dare to answer, closed his mouth and pondered in his heart: Is this a lie?
After a while, Qianhu's subordinates completed the formalities, and Liang Xin and the others, who had not yet come to their senses, were driven to work.
Every 1,000 criminals were detained by 100 Kowloon Tsing Yi, and this 1,100 people were a big camp that 'opened the mountain and broke the evil', and at this moment, there were more than 20 large camps working hard in the Kunai Mountain.
----------------------
20,000 sinners opened the mountain to break the trouble, and not all of them came to dig the roots of the mountain.
There are almost 10,000 people who are usually stationed around the fierce stone veins, and the rest of the dozen or so large battalions are on the surrounding mountains, some are responsible for digging ditches and leading springs, and some are cutting wood and making firewood, all busy in the surrounding mountains......
Liang Xin's camp was left next to the stone veins and was responsible for opening the mountain.
The sinners dig the roots of the mountain, first burn the rocks with fire, then splash them with cold water, and the rocks will crack apart with the rapid alternation of hot and cold, and finally the rocks will be strengthened and the rocks will be chiseled with hoes, so that the danger of landslides will be much smaller. Fire and thunder will only be used when encountering extremely hard and indestructible rocks.
After the excavation project enters the underground of the mountain roots, because the stone veins hurt people, when excavating, every time they take a step forward, they must be paved with wood to isolate the ferocity of the stone veins, so that the criminals can work back and forth.
Even if there were no landslides, many criminals died every day, who were already in very poor health, and after a long journey, they had to carry rocks on their backs, and often people did it like that, and suddenly they rolled their eyes and fell to the ground......
It is estimated that the governor who governs this place feels that sooner or later there will be no one to use it, and the food of the sinners has been improved a lot, not only eating rice, but sometimes picking out a trace of meat from the vegetable leaves.
Three or four months passed in a blink of an eye, and Liang Xin worked in the well every day.
Over time, Liang Xin gradually got used to the current servitude, and this strange stone vein, in addition to not being able to be touched, did not seem to be so dangerous...... The little white-faced Qianhu is not as insidious and vicious as the rumored Kowloon Tsing Yi, most of the time he just stays aside with a stinky face, and does not beat and scold the criminals at will.
The progress of the project is extremely slow, you can step thousands of miles, the stone vein is digging longer and longer, digging more and more thick, the part dug out so far is nearly a thousand zhang long, and the stone vein foundation at the end is two hundred steps wide!
On this day, Liang Xin's camp went down to work. In front of them, there were two large battalions responsible for digging mountain rocks, Liang Xin and others kept transporting cold water and firewood to the front, and Xiao Baimian and his men also followed the team to supervise the work.
When he was busy, a Tsing Yi commander who was originally in the front camp frowned, and hurriedly came to find Xiao Baimian.
The little white face is a thousand households, and at the moment in the well, it belongs to his highest official position.
There was a strange look on the commander's face: "My lord, something strange happened ahead, and the brothers are a little bit bad, I want to hear what you have to say." ”
The little white face did not shy away from the sinners who were working around him, and asked himself, "What's the matter?"
Liang Xin rubbed his footsteps and took the opportunity to be lazy, listening to the story with his ears stunned.
The little white face is not evil, and pretends not to see it.
The first two battalions were responsible for digging the stone wall, first burning the stone wall with firewood, and then pouring cold water to make the mountain rock burst, which was no different from the past, but digging and digging, the stone wall suddenly burst out with a crackling sound, and the seemingly hard mountain stone was crawling full of fine cracks in a blink of an eye, and the entire mountain wall that pressed the fierce stone veins became mottled and broken like a spider web.
In the cracked cracks, there is still a faint glossy color that shines through.
The workers are very strange, under the command of Tsing Yi, carefully hoe off the gravel, it turns out that digging here, the stone wall is only left with a thin layer of palm thickness, under the attack of water and fire, the entire stone wall began to crumble.
Xiaobai's face raised his eyebrows: "So, digging your head?"
The commander shook his head with a wry smile, and said in his heart that I was going to dig the end and I would still look for you?
"After the rubble is gone, the dust is wiped off...... What stopped in front of us was a huge white jade!" The commander was still afraid that others would not believe him, so he accentuated his tone: "There is no flaw, let alone cracks, the whole jade is in front of us, and the fierce stone veins are submerged under the jade!"
Hiss......
Everyone around, whether it was Tsing Yi or a sinner, all took a breath of cool air.
Now the cave has been dug up, not to mention the height, the width of a single one is hundreds of steps, which is not inferior to ordinary rivers. Gold is priceless and jade is priceless, such a big party has no time to make jade, I am afraid that it will not be able to get it back!
The commander looked at the surprised expression on Xiaobai's face, seemed quite satisfied, and continued: "This jade is too big and too valuable, we don't dare to call the shots, and now that the work has been stopped, send me to ask for advice." ”
Xiao Baimian muttered: "You don't dare to call the shots, I dare to call the shots?" Then he returned to normal, and asked coldly: "That jade is also part of the stone vein?"
The commander shook his head: "We have carefully investigated, the jade bi and the stone vein should not be the same and symbiotic, the stone vein passes under the jade bi, and there is a palm-wide gap between them, and there is no contact between the two. ”
The little white face didn't bother to ask: "Take me over to see ......"
Unexpectedly, before he finished his words, there was a sudden bang, and all the bright lights and torches under the mine were extinguished at the same time without warning!
Liang Xin only felt that his eyes suddenly darkened, and the moment he lost his eyesight, he was almost a little unsteady, and the fellow criminals around him also erupted in exclamation, and they were about to be in chaos.
The little white face and tongue bloomed with spring thunder, and he shouted sharply: "Everyone must not act and speak in vain!
Kowloon Tsing Yi has accumulated power for a long time, and the sinners immediately quieted down under the big drink, followed by the sound of rubbing, and the Tsing Yi in the crowd took out fire folds and flints, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't even knock out a spark!
Liang Xin couldn't help but move closer to the little white face......
There seemed to be another strange sound under the rapid beating of the flint, and it sounded as if something was gently approaching.
The little white face's broken drink sounded again: "Silence, distinguish the direction, Tsing Yi listens to the order, if there is any abnormal noise, kill immediately!"
Before the words fell, a sudden exclamation came from the front!
Angry shouting, screaming, screaming, and the sound of drawing a knife and waving through the air, all kinds of terrible sounds converged, like an invisible angry dragon, roaring all the way through the mine, rampage! In addition, there was a creepy chewing sound, low but clear, creaking, creaking, creaking......
Liang Xin only felt a gust of wind passing around him, something rushed to the side, and he didn't want to think about it in a hurry, he sat on the horse and punched it out, bang, muffled, Liang Xin continued to exclaim, his punch seemed to hit a stone, and his wrist was about to break.
"Hmph, the fist strength is too bad!" In the familiar voice, a faint light slowly lit up from Liang Xin's side.
