Chapter Seventy-Three: Countless Hungry Victims The belly of the mountain is hard labor

"If true, the sound is coming from the bottom of this North Peak!" said Ge Hong, putting his ear close to the ground.

"It's just that this place is heavily guarded, and it's difficult for us to enter this cottage at all!" Lin Yi sighed. He and Ge Hong had been carefully searching around here for more than half an hour, and they didn't find the slightest abnormality, so it seemed that this underground entrance must be in this cottage.

"This north peak is backed by Weishui, and the other two sides are also high mountains and mountains, strange rocks are craggy, and it is difficult to fly with wings.

"This north peak is unclimbable, towering into the clouds, the most lacking thing on this mountain should be water, there are at least thousands of people living on this mountain, but I have not seen them go down the mountain to carry water, it can be seen that there must be a secret road to the Weishui behind this mountain! Besides, if the rebels are really digging in the belly of the mountain, how to transport this large amount of stone and soil, I am afraid that it is also borrowing this Weishui!" As soon as Lin Yi heard the word Weishui, his frowning brows suddenly bloomed, and he walked straight to a desperate ridge on the right.

The "murmuring ......" waves crashed on the shore, and the sound of the eastward flow of the Weishui River came to the face.

"Weishui, you are the mother river of the children of Guanzhong, you are the cradle of Chinese civilization, and you have given birth to countless Chinese heroes and daughters since ancient times. Jiang Ziya fished in Weishui, met King Wen, helped Zhou to fight the war, and was old and strong. Qin's ancestors cultivated and recuperated on this shore, and after several generations of operation, they unified Liuheyu and established the first full-time empire. If Gaozu didn't have the support of grain, grass, soldiers, and salaries here, how could he come to the world of the Han family for 400 years in the future!" Looking at the surging, rushing, and pouring Weishui for thousands of miles, Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh.

Suddenly, a trumpet sounded, and Lin Yi took a closer look, and countless boats were pouring into the water. This place is only nearly a hundred zhang away from Weishui, and it is pitch black, and there is a mist blocking it, if it weren't for Lin Yi's vision of Lu Liyuan, I am afraid that he can't see it at all. Looking at the cargo in these boats, they are piled up as high as a mountain, which should be the earth and rocks transported from the belly of the mountain. This Qi Wannian is really not an ordinary person, and it is really a good idea to borrow this current.

Although this place is full of strange rocks and very steep, it is naturally not difficult for people like Lin Yi and Ge Hong, and after a while, they have slipped along this cliff to this shore.

"Hurry up, the king has ordered that all the soil and stones in the belly of this mountain must be removed before dawn!" Lin Yi listened not far away, the sound of leather whips came, mixed with the wails of countless laborers.

Lin Yi followed the voice and saw that there was indeed a small pier on the shore not far ahead, and there was a mountain road above the pier that led directly to the depths of the mountain. The mountain road is winding and very dangerous, and there are several places that stand on the cliff, less than a zhang wide. The mountain road is full of teams of hard laborers, densely packed and unable to see the edge at a glance, men, women and children, sick and disabled, these people are all hungry, skinny, each carrying a big bamboo basket behind them, staggering, a few feet away from a supervisor, constantly smoking the leather whip, the mouth of the angry curse non-stop. From time to time, someone was overwhelmed and fainted directly on the ground, the overseer had no sympathy, and another heavy whip was whipped, if he didn't get up, he walked directly forward and kicked into the bottom of the mountain, and suddenly there was a loud noise in the water, and countless waves crashed on the shore.

"What a crime for the people, and suffer from it for a long time!" Lin Yi sighed, paused and said very angrily: "This Qi Wannian rebel army rampant in Beidi, Feng Yi, Fufeng, Shiping County, captured Han, Qiang, Di and other people, originally all plundered here for hard labor, I don't know what conspiracy Lu Dao had, it is really hateful to kill innocent people like this! The people of Guanzhong were already deeply injured by drought and plague, and now they are enslaved by the Qi Wannian rebels, and it is not enough to vent their hatred for the people of Guanzhong!"

"Could it be that there is some secret treasure in the belly of this mountain!" Ge Hong also said.

"Two fellow Daoists, you've been sneaking around for so long, why don't you come out and show up!" Lin Yi suddenly turned to a strange stone behind him, and after a while, the strange stone finally walked out of the two of them, both of them were dressed in night clothes, and they couldn't see their faces clearly, but looking at their figures, one was about a young man who had just passed the weak crown, and the other was only afraid that he was more than half a hundred years old, and his sideburns were half white.

Although these two people are hiding very hidden, Lin Yi is no longer what they used to be, and his five senses and six senses are extraordinary, especially if he is only an ordinary immortal cultivator. Therefore, as soon as they slid from the cliff to the shore, they found these two people, since these two people were so sneaky, they would never be fellow rebels, but I am afraid that they would also accidentally visit this place like them. Since they were not enemies, Lin Yi greeted them first.

"Daoist friends are really extraordinary, although the cultivation of the two of us is not high, but this ability to conceal the body, I am only afraid that there will be a rare opponent in the same rank!" Although his age has already exceeded 100, he is in good spirits, his face is full of red light, and his voice is like a bell, which is afraid that ordinary young people can't compare.

Since the two of them were discovered, they naturally didn't hide anything at all, and a rushing spiritual pressure came to their faces. Lin Yidan looked at this older person, his cultivation was similar to his own, and he was also in the realm of refining himself and building a foundation, and the weak crown young man was almost the same as Ge Hong's cultivation, which was probably the realm of refining himself and building a foundation.

"Seeing that Daoyou's cultivation is not swordsmanship, and his aura is even more incompatible with the five great sword immortal families or their affiliated sects, it seems that Daoyou and I are all loose cultivators!" the weak-crowned young man also spoke. Looking at his extraordinary appearance, he has a bookish atmosphere, if it weren't for the aura of a cultivator just revealed, I am afraid that he would still think that he is a noble son of an official family. But his mouth was very approachable, and he was not a few years older than Lin Yi, and Lin Yi immediately had a good impression of him.

"Yes, in Xia Lin Yi, it is also a loose cultivation, this young man's surname is Ge Minghong, and the word is Zhichuan. Lin Yi also took the initiative to show favor and introduced himself. These two people turned out to be non-enemies, and they were not the disciples of the Five Great Immortal Sword Families, and Lin Yi tried his best to win over the two of them.

"The two turned out to be the famous Lin Shaoxia and the little divine doctor Ge Shaoxia, the two young heroes in the suburbs of Chang'an City in addition to the zombie essence drought, for the people of Guanzhong to get rid of the plague and drought, the Central Plains Kyushu cultivation world is already known to everyone, it is really for us to lose face!" When these two people heard the names of Lin Yi and the others, they were really thunderous, and hurriedly congratulated.

"Where, where, that drought cultivation has already reached the realm of refining and refining qi, if it weren't for Senior Zheng's own strength, the two of us would have already fallen...... Lin Yi hurriedly said. After a moment of communication, Lin Yi finally understood the names and origins of the two.

This old man's name is Xu Xun, the word Jingzhi, his ancestral home is Runan (now Xuchang, Henan), and his father Xu Su led his family to avoid war and moved to Nanchang in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Later, he was born here, and was filial piety and honesty in the first year of Jin Taikang (280), and was called Xu Jingyang. The weak crown young man is called Guo Pu, the word Jingchun, a native of Wenxi County, Hedong (now Wenxi County, Shanxi Province), and the son of Guo Ming, the Taishou of Jianping. Lin Yi was really surprised in his heart, the origin of these two people is too big, although they may be unknown in the cultivation world, but the great names of the people of Sheji Li are like thunder, one is one of the four great heavenly masters of Taoism by later generations, and the other is the originator of Chinese feng shui.
