Chapter 1: The Long Night
In the dimly lit workshop, ten assembly lines rumbled and operated, and all kinds of magic weapon parts flowed down from above. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The info practitioners were standing or sitting in front of the assembly line, preparing with full attention.
Whenever a part passes by, the casual repair next to it will start to act, the front one is responsible for cleaning and smearing, the middle one is responsible for patchwork and lamination, and the lower one is tempering and polishing. At the end of the assembly line, the female cultivators are testing the magic weapons that have been formed one by one, and any flaw will be pointed out on the spot, and then the price of the finished product will be shared by the scattered cultivators of the whole line.
Line 4 stopped, which attracted the attention of the scattered repair of the two nearby lines, the stop line is a very rare thing in the workshop, the owner once said that each of his assembly lines is thousands of spirit stones in an instant, people can die, the line can not be stopped.
From entering the workshop to the present, it has been four years, and this is the first time that Han Sheng has violated discipline during his work.
In order not to disturb the nearby management residence, the entire weapon workshop was designed to be airtight, looking like a huge black brick from a distance, and no sound could be heard.
But because of this, any movement inside will have an echo, as long as you listen carefully.
When Line 4 stopped, most of the casual cultivators did not respond, while the casual cultivators of the two nearby lines glanced up and continued to work numbly, only Han Sheng quietly took off one earbud and listened to the movement over there.
Sobing, choking, and pleading, a female casual cultivator in charge of quality inspection on Line 4 squatted on the ground with her face covered, allowing their team leader to insult her.
"Are you a pig? Are you blind? Can't you see that the sword patterns of those two Red Flame Swords are one less than the others? Did I say that the sword patterns on each Red Flame Sword must be 666, and all other sword patterns will be scrapped! This is the workshop rule, do you understand the regulations? I can't control so much, this loss will be deducted from your salary, and you will be covered and left immediately. ”
Han Sheng was shocked, each Red Flame Sword was worth at least five thousand spirit stones, and two Red Flame Swords were ten thousand spirit stones, but the monthly salary of the female cultivators they inspected was only eight hundred spirit stones at most!
How long will this be paid?
What's more, once he is expelled from the workshop, there will be a stain on his resume, and no sect workshop is willing to recruit the expelled casual cultivators.
The surrounding cultivators were also alarmed, and they all cast sympathetic glances at the female cultivator who was squatting on the ground and crying.
"No...... Don't ......" The female cultivator gripped the robes of their group leader tightly, her beautiful face stained with tears. She said intermittently, "Team leader, I'...... I may be too tired, I will bear all the losses this time, please don't fire me, I have a family of five, only I can earn money. I promise, I promise I won't make another mistake. ”
The leader of Line 4 is a fat monk who has built a foundation for more than ten years, and his clothes were pulled in public, and his belly, which he tried to hide, was also exposed, making his face extremely ugly.
"It's my business. The fat friar waved his hand, "Inspector, get this woman out of here!"
"Please, please!" cried out the female cultivator, dragged out of the gate by several inspectors.
The fat monk straightened up his robes, raised his head and shouted viciously: "Why are you still stunned? Start work! A bunch of fools who are lazy if they don't look at it, you still want to save spirit stones to cultivate immortals? Do your job well first!"
The sound of a thud rang out again, but in ten seconds the entire workshop was back in normal operation.
No one could help the crying female cultivator, and the pressure of life had taken their breath away.
That's it, the most common thing that casual cultivators say, this is fate.
The bright moon is in the sky, and it's time to get off work. Han Sheng moved his muscles, which had been a little stiff from swinging the hammer for a long time, and the joints in his body crackled. Just as he was about to pack up his things and go downstairs, a white shadow suddenly jumped out from behind and hugged Han Sheng's waist, Han Sheng didn't look at it, he took a step to the left at will, and the white shadow suddenly jumped into the air, and he was about to be planted on the ground. Han Sheng sighed, stretched out his hand, and the white shadow shook a few times before standing firmly, it turned out to be a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy in white.
The young man in white grinned, and took out a few books from behind his back like a trick: "Brother Han, I've finished reading these books, and I'll return them." ”
"Oh," Han Sheng smiled, "how do you feel after reading it?"
"I don't like it," the boy replied crisply. Seeing Han Sheng's frowning brows, he hurriedly changed his words, "Just kidding, the Bright Moon Heart Sutra is biased towards femininity, and the Wind Decision is too domineering, I originally liked the Dragon and Tiger Fit Decision, but its cultivation conditions are too harsh, and the third realm requires tiger liver and dragon scales, which is incredible." ”
"Alas," Han Sheng shook his head, "Jiang Lin, you are too picky, just pick a random exercise and practice it first, and wait until two years later to go up the mountain gate to test, you can have a better chance of winning." ”
Jiang Lin clapped his hands and said nonchalantly: "My dead ghost father said that a person like me who is a genius must have a high starting point, instead of practicing a bunch of messy stall exercises, it is better to insist on breathing and breathing until the day comes." ”
Han Sheng was amused: "You, you, why are you still so bad-tempered after working in the workshop for two years?"
Jiang Lin said triumphantly: "I am very single-minded, either I don't practice, or I will practice for a lifetime." Of course, it can't compare to Brother Han's all-encompassing, and all laws can be used. ”
Han Sheng smiled: "Wow, Jiang Lin, you actually turned around and scolded me." ”
Jiang Lin laughed: "This is what you said yourself, and it has nothing to do with me." ”
The laughter of the two diluted the oppressive atmosphere in the neighborhood. It's good to be young, and the corners of the surrounding Sanxiu's mouth gradually raised, as if he had returned to his teenage years.
In the underground of the weapons workshop, there is a dormitory built for casual cultivators, many of whom usually fall asleep in bed after work, and occasionally those with excessive energy will run out to gamble or double cultivate. But Han Sheng rarely went out, in addition to meditating and practicing qi, he also read books and realized the Tao.
It has been four years since I went up the mountain, more than 1,500 days and nights, and it has never changed.
"Han Sheng!" Lao Li shouted at the lower bunk: "Tomorrow is the day of paycheck, busy for a month, the brothers are ready to go down the mountain to the town to be chic, let's go together." ”
"No," Han Sheng shook his head, "I still have a lot of things, you guys go play." ”
"There's a!" The old Wang on the other side sneered: "I said Xiao Han, why don't you give up? Yunhai Sect is a place where we can enter the scattered cultivation? No matter how can the Yunhai Sect be said to be a sect with a head and a face in the Ten Thousand Immortals League, how can you be accepted as a disciple of a wealthy and noble family who wants to enter the sea, how can you be accepted as a disciple of a small scattered cultivator who has no money, no power, and no relationship?"
"Yes," Lao Li persuaded: "Brother, I am also from here, I have worked in this weapons workshop for more than ten years, and I have seen everything through." It Yunhai Sect said nicely, and it has been tested once every three years in the workshop, but in fact?" Lao Li spat fiercely at the ground, "I'm going to test 30,000 spirit stones once, and the money earned in its workshop was taken away by a few monks when they opened their mouths! ”
"That's right," Lao Wang also became excited, "I have also been working for eight or nine years, and at the beginning, I was like Xiao Han and you, thinking about worshipping the mountain gate to learn the immortal method and ascending to the sky in one step, but then I realized that it was a pit person in the Yunhai Sect! In recent years, how many of the casual cultivators admitted by the Yunhai Sect are casual cultivators? The relationship of the eight aunts and nine aunts of the whole mother! Not to mention far, Xiao Han, you participated in the disciple test of the Yunhai Sect last year, and met a lot of talented casual cultivators, but the last one to enter the mountain gate was a little old man. Let me tell you the truth, that old man is the brother-in-law of the chief disciple of the Yunhai Sect!"
"Oh," Han Sheng said lightly, and the book turned to the next page.
"Why aren't you angry?" Lao Li looked at him in surprise.
"Of course I'm angry, but now that the tragedy has happened, all I can do is not let it happen again. Han Sheng didn't raise his head, and replied casually.
"This kid is hopeless," Lao Wang and Lao Li glanced at each other and came to a conclusion.
When the footsteps of Lao Wang and Lao Li gradually faded away, Han Sheng put down the book in his hand and rubbed his face vigorously.
His heart was nowhere near as calm as it had been before.
Angry, how can it just be angry?
Since coming to this world unexpectedly, in order to be able to achieve immortal paths, he has traveled thousands of worlds and met his family and friends as soon as possible. Han Sheng did not hesitate to be young and frail, went up the mountain gate, entered the workshop, and worked hard to forge his body, just hoping to pass the test and soar to the sky.
I thought that the true qi in my body had been tempered for thousands of years, and my own cultivation knowledge was like a stream, and I was determined to win.
was pushed down by an old man who couldn't even read a word.
As soon as he remembered that the Yunhai Sect disciple who tested said that the old man had an immortal fate, Han Sheng couldn't help but laugh wildly in his heart.
What is Immortal Fate?
You say there is a fate, but there is no fate, and if you say there is no fate, there is no fate.
Han Sheng had already seen it through, and when he failed the test, he had asked Uncle Zhang, who had been in the workshop for the longest time, a question: "Do you remember the winners of all the Yunhai Sect tests from the time you entered the workshop to the present?"
Uncle Zhang's expression was complicated when he heard it, and he only said: "Why bother to get to the bottom of it, let's work hard." ”
Han Sheng understood at that time that the scattered cultivators in the workshop were all pulling and grinding donkeys with fresh grass hanging in front of them.
Run as hard as you can, standing still.
But no matter what, the work still has to continue, after all, the spirit stones distributed every month are real.
For example, today's aura is not as good as before, and the headlines of the daily newspaper of the Wanxian League are discussing the aura of the land of Shenzhou, from being diligent and thrifty and using less spells, to seriously studying the new generation of aura for sustainable development, and recently banned the mining of spiritual stones near Kunlun, which directly led to the price of spiritual stones soaring all the way, and the low-level monks fought all by hand-to-hand combat, for fear that a mana would run out and they would immediately go bankrupt.
Nine out of ten low-level cultivators like Han Sheng worked hard in sect workshops or spirit stone mines. Some are for eating, some are for their wives and children, and some are for the future promotion to team leader. The least kind is to accumulate spirit stones and practice.
Han Sheng had calculated that he was now in the Qi cultivation period, and his realm was probably below average. As long as you practice diligently, you will be able to reach the peak of qi cultivation in less than two years. He can get 1,500 spirit stones every month, and a Tsukidan probably needs 2 to 50,000 spirit stones, and the more expensive the price, the better the effect. Han Sheng didn't intend to treat himself badly in cultivation, it was a big deal to cultivate for a while and accumulate a lot.
Wait until the moment when he builds his own foundation, and see what kind of face the Yunhai Sect still has to say about immortal fate!
The sun rises and the moon sets, and in the blink of an eye, the lives of the scattered cultivators have not changed much, they are still in a mess going to and from work, working and sleeping, and it is a carnival when they distribute spirit stones every month.
They will only be happy on the day they send the spirit stones.
The original days passed like this, like a pool of desperate stagnant water, numbly sinking to the bottom, unwilling to struggle. Until one day, the owner announced that he had received an order from the Four Great Immortal Sects, and he must make 8,000 pairs of Purple Gold Yaoguang Armor within three months. So, in the never-ending work, under the overwhelming pressure, in front of the coldness of life and death, when one after another loose cultivation fell in pain.
The chapter of a new era has begun.
