The clouds in the sky were evenly packed, layer upon layer, and the wind blowing from afar swept over the entire mountain, like a giant snoring in its slumber.

Between breaths, there is a rhythm of its own.

At the foot of the mountain, thousands of people wielded pickaxes, clanging to dig the rocks in the belly of the mountain, a very primitive scene, drops of sweat swaying, dripping, and then evaporating, accompanied by a spark bursting on the rocks, it is really full of the greatest malice.

Or, just taunt.

――

"Hey, wake up, wake up, wake up, old Jiang, you really have a set of skills, you can sleep dimly here, and your saliva has been flowing for a long time without knowing it!"

Shen San's voice sounded suddenly, waking Duan Heng up from his sleep.

Squinting his eyes and wiping the saliva on his beard, Duan Heng said angrily:

"People often say that there are three evil guests in this world, one of them is uninvited, the second is that the dove occupies the magpie's nest, and the third is -- stirring people's dreams! ”

"Haha! I haven't seen you for a few years, old Jiang, your anger has really risen repeatedly, as for you, could it be that you are dreaming of spring?" Shen San laughed.

"Hmph, I really had a dream. Duan Heng muttered, but his eyes looked at the black, iron tomb-like mountain hundreds of miles away, and a trace of surprise flashed in his heart, yes, he was dreaming, and what he dreamed of was that he turned into that iron tomb mountain.

It's weird.

Standing up, Duan Heng looked around for a moment or two, and said impatiently: "What do you have to do? That dream just now is more charming, and I want to relive it." ”

"Come on, let's revisit, you're comfortable these days, don't you see that we all have to dig mountains like coolies?That Qiao Nan invited you over, they broke a crippled medicine garden before, you are an authority on this, go and see what is missing?" Shen San said as he put a jade plaque in Duan Heng's hand, this is a jade plaque, without this thing, you can't enter that ruin.

That's right, the ruins.

Two months ago, that Qiao Nan, that is, the core disciple of the Dao Sect who specializes in swordsmanship, got Duan Heng over, and he originally said that he would transplant the vine of life and death, but after arriving here, Duan Heng was told that they were coming to excavate the ruins of an ancient immortal.

Because of the secrecy, he Duan Heng is not allowed to leave until the excavation of this ancient immortal relic is completed, this time may be a few years, maybe decades, maybe hundreds of years, in short, it all depends on luck.

At present, this ancient immortal ruins have been completely blocked by the Dao Sect within three thousand miles of each other, and a Mahayana master is personally in charge, in addition, the Dao Sect has sent three thousand core disciples in one go, plus eight hundred outer disciples, and hundreds of miscellaneous servants.

This is what it looks like to fight a protracted war.

The Iron Tomb Mountain hundreds of miles away is the remains of the Gu Immortals, but so far, the excavation work has been very painful, and there has not been much progress.

The reason is also very simple, there are no prohibitions or formations outside the ruins of the cave of this ancient immortal, but it is purely sealed with rocks, but this black rock is not a substance in the heavenly domain, in short, it is very strong, and it is also very evil, anyone, including the master of Mahayana cultivation in the Mahayana period, will be greatly affected in front of these rocks, that is, he cannot cast spells, he cannot use magic weapons, spiritual treasures, and even immortal soldiers.

The only way to do this is to use a pickaxe to jingle and dig down little by little, like a mortal would.

Oh, there is another point, that is, the immortal cultivators whose strength is lower than that of the Yuan Infant Stage can't hold a pickaxe at all when they come to this rock, and this is also the reason why Duan Heng was able to survive the fate of coolies and sleep comfortably in the distance.

"Is there progress?"

Duan Heng asked with some surprise at this time.

"There is a fart progress, thousands of us take turns to dig, and in the past few months, we have chiseled out a depth of less than a zhang or so, but compared to the entire Iron Tomb Mountain, it is far worse, but the broken medicine garden that Qiao Nan and they found is outside the Iron Tomb Mountain, let's go, that guy's temper has been very bad lately, I don't want to be scolded by him." ”

Shen San muttered, and then pulled Duan Heng to get on the Royal Beast Mount, because around this Iron Tomb Mountain, it was impossible to perform the Escape Technique.

Soon, the two of them came to a place twenty miles away from the foot of the Iron Tomb Mountain, where from the ground to the air, there was a shimmering light cover, which was a prohibition personally laid by the master of the Mahayana period of the Dao Sect, isolating everything, and from the outside, nothing could be seen.

Of course, this is also the main reason why Duan Heng was very confused about the previous dream, you know, for more than two months, he had no chance to enter it, but he could dream of all the details of that iron tomb mountain very clearly.

A white light flashed over the two of them, indicating that they were allowed to enter, safe.

And when he stepped through that prohibition, Duan Heng really saw the details of Iron Tomb Mountain for the first time.

At this time, the top soil and rocks at the foot of the mountain on this side were stripped away, revealing that special black rock, and thousands of people were sweating like rain waving pickaxes and digging hard, even with the strength of these immortal cultivators, they had to bear tremendous pressure here.

Fortunately, the abandoned medicine garden was just outside the foot of the mountain, otherwise Duan Heng really didn't know what he should do?

When Duan Heng and Shen San arrived there, they found that there were no less than dozens of people gathered here, except for a dozen core disciples such as Qiao Nan who looked depressed, the others were all miscellaneous servants of the Medicine Garden, and at this moment, they were squatting on the ground with small shovels one by one and cleaning up carefully, just like the archaeological site.

When Qiao Nan saw Duan Heng from a distance, he snorted coldly, he was already desperate for Duan Heng's treacherous and lazy nature.

"Now is the time to use you, this medicine garden has been abandoned for a long time, the whole is covered with mud and gravel, the preliminary estimate, the time can be at least half a hundred thousand years ago, before it gets dark, you have to give me a preliminary conclusion. ”

Duan Heng didn't answer, but began to observe carefully, this medicine garden was obviously destroyed due to external forces, and the speed was so fast that all the spirit grass here didn't have time to be harvested.

If it was an ordinary weed, or an ordinary spirit grass elixir, it would have rotted a long time ago.

But that kind of special spirit grass elixir born from the qi of heaven and earth is not so easy to destroy, at least Duan Heng knows that there are hundreds of kinds of spirit grass that are not afraid of water and fire, are not afraid of swords and soldiers, and are not corrupt for hundreds of millions of years.

And in this medicine garden here, I am afraid that there are at least a dozen such precious spirit grasses.

At this time, there was more than one medicine garden handyman who knew how to do it in this abandoned medicine garden, so there was not much time, and before Duan Heng could make a move, those medicine garden handymen had already taken turns to shout excitedly.

The names of rare elixirs that can only appear in legends are constantly converging.

made the onlookers swallow their saliva, and even Qiao Nan rarely smiled.

It's a big profit, just relying on these dozen or so rare spirit grasses that are still alive, this excavation will not lose money.

Duan Heng didn't do anything next, he didn't need him, and the other medicine garden miscellaneous servants who had been mobilized from the Dao Sect or from other places were all masters of the Spirit Grass Identification Technique.

So, half an hour later, Duan Heng was driven out again.

He didn't care about it, but when he was leaving, he seemed to inadvertently pick up a rock chip the size of his finger on the ground, which was cut down from the iron grave mountain, this thing is everywhere, and it is estimated that someone has already checked it, but nothing has been found, so no one stopped him.

However, Shen San noticed Duan Heng's small action, but he didn't pay attention to it, because in the past few months, each of them had racked their brains and tried every way to study this strange rock, but no one could crack it.

What can a Duan Heng who is almost a waste person do?

When he came, someone picked him up, and when he went, only Duan Heng himself was left, because Shen San, Mo Yi and they all had to take turns as coolies to dig rocks.

Duan Heng was not in a hurry, and walked back slowly, while walking, he occasionally stretched out his tongue and licked the piece of gravel chips, looking like he was relishing.

But to be honest, Duan Heng couldn't see anything special about this black rock, he just felt that it was necessary to study it, and the dream he had before didn't seem to be for no reason.

In the following time, Duan Heng resumed the days of waking up and eating, eating and sleeping, because he was neither qualified to be a coolie nor leave, so he had to be so rotten.

After he had studied it for a few hours, he found nothing, so he threw it to the ground and ignored it.

And the dream he had hoped for didn't come back again.

In this way, in a blink of an eye, three full years have passed, and the excavation project of the Iron Tomb Mountain is as good as ever, and it is only chiseled into less than fifteen zhang at present.

And from top to bottom, whether it is the core disciples of the Dao Sect or the outer disciples, they are all miserable, this is too pitiful, according to this progress, and then referring to the entire huge iron tomb mountain, they will probably have to chisel for a lifetime, who can stand this?

As a result, the upper echelons of the Ask Sect finally relented, they needed more coolies, and most importantly, the news of this ruin was finally leaked out.

After negotiations unknown to outsiders, including the Dao Sect, the top ten sects in the entire Eastern Regions, including the five major city forces, united and sent a full 20,000 people to take turns digging the Iron Tomb Mountain.

That Shen San, Mo Yi and a few other guys were also temporarily released because they had always performed well.

Only Duan Heng, as if he had been completely forgotten, still had to be placed under house arrest here.

Who made him a little guy now?

Duan Heng didn't think much of this, he was still waiting, waiting for that strange dream to reappear.

It may not be without a reason!

Finally, at the end of the sixth year, when the alliance for the excavation of this relic expanded several times again, the entire Iron Tomb Mountain, southeast, northwest, and four directions were excavated at the same time, and the excavation force exceeded 100,000 people.

That strange dream suddenly appeared in Duan Heng's sleep again.
