Chapter 656: Riot (I)
Among the four main peaks of Longkong Mountain, Dongxie Peak has the richest and easiest gold reserves. The whole peak slopes down from west to east, and the outer height and inner low form a huge bowl shape.
The Heavenly Golden Waterfall that leaked from the void was affected by the wind all year round, and gradually deviated to the east side in the process of falling, and the strong waterfall rolled and slapped on the abrupt rock, making a deafening roar, splashing a huge golden red wave.
Most of them will be slammed back by the hard mountain, and they will melt into the unfathomable abyss for thousands of miles. However, a very small part of it will jump over the towering boulders and flow down the mountain into the "bowl" on the east side of the peak, and then continue to wash the rocks, while quickly freezing and solidifying, condensing a thick layer of dark gold rough on the surface of the mountain. So as long as the Golden Waterfall continues to flow, the gold mines here will never have to worry about running out.
The work of the gold miners is actually very simple, all they have to do is to use the special equipment in their hands to dig out pieces of rough gold that blend with the mountain rocks, and then put them into boxes and seal them, and then transport them by camel eagles to the craftsman village at the foot of the mountain, where they are handed over to goldsmiths for smelting, and finally refine a finished gold with an equal amount of ingots and a purity of more than ninety percent.
However, it is not easy to get the job done. When solidified, the waterfall becomes extremely hard and inextricably bonded with the rocks. To mine them, even if they are equipped with special equipment, a skilled and capable gold miner can only chisel out more than 100 catties of rough stones after a whole day's hard work, and after being smelted and purified by a goldsmith, only four or five ingots of gold can be refined.
Therefore, the more than 700 gold miners on the summit had to work day and night, and only two hours a day could be used to rest and meditate. Many people became cripples within the first month of their arrival, and the guards would collect their souls and send them to Jinse Palace to be washed by Tianxiang Niangniang, and the corpses naturally became the most popular flower fertilizer in the Hundred Herb Garden.
But fatigue was far from being the worst enemy of the gold miners, and they had to be on the lookout for the catastrophe that fell from the sky at all times.
The Heavenly Golden Waterfall bestowed Longkong Mountain with not only amazing wealth and treasures, but also terrible disasters.
Almost every month, it will burst out like a fidgety and irritable child without warning, setting off a golden-red storm out of thin air, instantly engulfing the peak, and most of the time Dongxiop Peak is the first to bear the brunt.
The gold miner slave who had no time to escape would be swallowed by the golden-red frenzy in the blink of an eye, and the violent golden qi was enough to crush the bones and veins of the Xuan Immortal and even the internal organs, killing it mercilessly, and finally turning it into a piece of primordial stone.
But in the face of such a treacherous situation, all the gold miners had no choice but to throw their lives to the heavens. There have been more than one escape of gold mining slaves, and they were all captured by the guards without exception, and died tragically after suffering the most cruel **** destruction for a full hundred days.
The most recent one happened not long ago, when a new gold miner who had only been here for a few days managed to break the seal on his body, kill four guards in a row and escape.
Prior to this, there had been no escape of gold mining slaves in Dongxie Peak for more than four months. This incident undoubtedly made Jin Chengfeng, the second leader of Dongxie Peak, who was in charge of life and death in the mining area, very angry, and immediately led his troops to launch a search and arrest.
No one believed that the gold miner would survive, and most people even resented her.
Because of the evasion incident, the alert level of the peak was immediately raised, and the guards who might be punished for this incident were naturally not in a good mood, and they would inevitably vent their anger on the heads of the gold miners.
The guards used a special soft whip, and the black whip was covered with golden runes. When the soft whip is raised, the seal on the gold miner within a radius of ten zhang will immediately be induced, and even if you have the magical power to move mountains and seas, it will also be paralyzed into mud in an instant.
The only way they can escape the pain of flesh is to work as hard as possible, trying not to attract the minds of the guards.
Even so, screams and begs for mercy continued to sound from time to time, interspersed with the sharp whistling of the soft whip breaking through the void.
Long Chu was naked, deaf to everything that was happening around him, and intently waved the pickaxe in his hand, slamming it on the dark gold rough stone.
He wasn't very fast, but he was rhythmic and far more efficient than the other gold miners.
So although he was still a newcomer, he was not overly harassed by the guards. On the contrary, they were very relieved of the honest and honest Long Chuyi, and focused more on certain violent gold miners.
However, they never dreamed that the person who unlocked the seal on Long Chuer's body and helped her kill the guards who successfully escaped from Dongxie Peak was the hard-working young man in front of them!
According to the original plan, he should flee with Long Chuer and try to find Diao Xiaosi and Xiaoya.
It's a pity that an accident disrupted Long Chuyi's plan, and the initiator was Lu Zhisheng, who was pestering him at the moment.
Lu Zhisheng is not ugly, on the contrary, it can be said that he is quite delicate, especially the snow-white and crystalline skin is as smooth as velvet, with a natural long brown-red hair, she can be regarded as an eye-catching beauty in the poor mountains and rivers of the void and wilderness.
The only drawback is that I am fatter, which is like a combination of Xi Shi and Bao Xi, Diao Chan and Feiyan.
In the eyes of others, there is often a particularly heavyweight beauty around you, which is pleasing to the eye and refreshing. But for Long Chuyi, this red-haired young lady is really a big trouble.
From beginning to end, she chirped like a sparrow, and let out a long series of merry laughs when she was happy, which made the guards around her look sideways.
In this case, even if there is no confinement of the seal, there is no way to escape Dongxiop Peak anyway.
If possible, Long Chuyi would not hesitate to kill Lu Zhisheng and solve the biggest obstacle preventing him from escaping.
But he never acted rashly, and waited patiently for the opportunity.
"Hey, do you really want to die here like a man, okay?"
Lu Zhisheng didn't notice the murderous intent and anger that Long Chu was trying to hide at all at all, and he didn't mind the other party's coldness, and said to himself: "As long as you go with me, you don't have to worry about anything else." ”
Long Chuyi almost agreed, but after all, there was still no response. The hellish trials of the South China Sea have long made him no longer trust anyone, let alone a girl he doesn't know.
At this moment, a guard came over and saluted Lu Zhisheng respectfully: "Fairy Lu, one of our brothers was accidentally injured, can you please help take a look?"
Lu Zhisheng didn't want him, asked "where is it", and hurriedly went east with the guard who asked for help.
After walking a few steps, she suddenly turned back to Long Chuyi and said, "You think about it and wait for me to come back." ”
After a while, Lu Zhisheng's petite back disappeared in the rich golden-red haze.
The peak is the place where the atmosphere of Longkong Mountain is the thickest, and even if you open the magic eye, you can't see the scenery outside a hundred zhang.
Long Chuyi continued to work silently, secretly thinking about what to do next.
He couldn't pin all his hopes on Long Chuer, he had to rely on his own strength to get out of here.
"Huh!" a soft whip tore through the void and slammed it towards Long Chuyi's back.
Long Chuyi was like a cheetah sensing danger, his body suddenly tensed imperceptibly in an instant, but it suddenly relaxed.
"Smack!" the soft whip slammed into his ****'s back, tearing open a shocking blood groove.
Long Chu staggered forward a few steps, supported the ground with the pickaxe in his hand, and barely stabilized his body without falling.
"Slap, slap, slap!" The soft whip rained down on Long Chuyi's body, and suddenly the skin and flesh were covered with blood.
Long Chuyi fell to the ground, and he already knew who Lu Dao was whipping him with a whip - not the guards here, but Jin Mancang, the adopted son of Jin Chenglong, the peak master of Dongxie Peak.
"****, actually **** the woman that this son likes, you don't want to live?"
A cruel smile appeared on his face, and he stepped on Long Chuyi's waist and waved his whip non-stop.
The surrounding gold miners did not react to this, and continued to bury their heads in their work, not even looking here at all.
In order to hide the secret that the seal had been opened, Long Chuyi could only carry it hard, and soon the flesh and blood on his back were blurry and miserable.
Jin Mancang obviously didn't want to beat Long Chuyi to death like this, not because he had pity, but because once he was killed, he would inevitably lose a coolie who mined gold.
After being whipped like this, Jin Mancang's anger subsided slightly, and he said, "Today is just a warning. If you let Ben Gongzi see it again, I will let you taste the taste of 'Dongxie's Eighteen Tortures' from beginning to end!"
"Jin Mancang, what are you doing?!" Lu Zhisheng's angry shout suddenly sounded in the distance.
Jin Mancang didn't expect Lu Zhisheng to come back so quickly, and couldn't help but look at her in shock.
Just when his mind was divided, Long Chuyi's figure suddenly touched the ground, like an arrow from the string passing under his crotch.
Jin Mancang was taken aback, and before he could react, he felt a chill in his neck, and Long Chuyi stuck to his back like a ghost, and reached out with his right hand to choke his throat.
The guards on the side changed color in shock, and shouted one after another: "Hurry up and let go of Jin Gongzi, do you want to rebel?"
Long Chuyi straightened his body, and the hot cone on his back was piercing, but this little injury was really nothing to him.
While paying attention to the movements around him, he silently used his left palm to suddenly light up with a silver-white star, cutting a foot-long bloody hole on Jin Mancang's chest like a blade.
Jin Mancang usually relies on the ferocity of the Jin Chenglong brothers, never treats the gold mining slaves as people, and commands and beats them wantonly, but once he faces a threat to his life, he is so frightened that his face turns pale, and he screams: "Don't kill me!"
Long Chuyi vigilantly swept the circle of guards who were about to move, and said in a deep voice, "Do you want to die or want to live?"
"I want to live!" Jin Mancang shouted without hesitation, "I—I can let you go immediately!"
Long Chu nodded, held Jin Mancang hostage and slowly retreated, and said, "Let all your people stand in place and not move!"
Jin Mancang hurriedly shouted: "You all stand and don't move, let him go!"
The guards did not dare to disobey, and formed an encirclement from afar, closely monitoring Long Chuyi's every move.
Long Chuyi retreated all the way, getting closer and closer to the Heavenly Golden Waterfall, and a golden-red film gradually appeared on the surface of his body.
Seeing this, Lu Zhisheng shouted: "Stop, there is a dead end behind ......"
Before she could finish her words, she was drowned out by a whistling sound that suddenly exploded above the clouds—
