Chapter 713 Beihai Mining
Beihai is a broad geography, located in the north of the Earthly Immortal Realm, and all the worlds in the sea area from Beiju Luzhou to the Earthly Immortal Realm belong to the North Sea.
These worlds are very close to each other, and some worlds are even connected by land bridges. The mountains on the land bridge are undulating, and people from different worlds can communicate with each other.
There are many mineral veins and mines here, rich in gold, stone, precious jade, and a kind of sacred bird called Ling Ling, which is edible, has a good taste, and can cure diseases.
Beihai can often see a sudden light shining into the sky at a certain place, which is often caused by the leakage of a certain mineral vein.
At this time, people do not run towards the place where the light reaches the sky, but flee in the opposite direction.
Due to the leakage of the mine veins, there is an unknown amount of waste gas stored underground for tens of thousands of years. This waste gas looks charming under the sunlight, but in fact it is extremely dangerous. Even an immortal can hardly survive in the waste gas.
Hence, the place where the exhaust gas leaks often means a mining disaster. If you are slow to escape, you will die in the exhaust gas.
The first day Chen Shi came to Jingzhou, Beihai, he was targeted by the enthusiastic black Taibao.
"Where do fellow Taoists come from? I ascended from Xiniu Xinzhou. I am also from Xiniu Xinzhou, and our accents are very similar." A pretty woman approached Chen Shi and said with a smile.
Hello Taibao is the collective name for Immortal Traffickers.
They are not the miners, but the middlemen who sell the miners to the miners.
Outside the West Tiandang of Heaven, there are black eunuchs wandering around. Those immortals who leave the heavenly barracks after ten years are often lured by the black eunuchs with promises of high monthly salary and high-quality magic weapons, and are deceived into Beihai and sold to miners.
There are also some black eunuchs who are active outside the important yamen of the Heavenly Court such as Doube, Leibu, and Wenbu. They wait for the immortals who have expired to leave these yamen, and then use their clever tongue to trick these immortals into Beihai.
Beihai is notorious for this, but the number of immortals who ascend every year is extremely large. Most of the immortals do not know about the Beihai mining area, so many people are still deceived into working as miners in Beihai.
Hai Taibao calls this kind of business giving away heads, because the mine head gives money according to the head. If you send an immortal, you will get a head and a share of money.
Of course there are some black-hearted black eunuchs who seek out the immortals who practice three heads and six arms to try to collect more money. This kind of black Taibo is often beaten up by the mine boss and thrown into the mining area to mine, where life or death is uncertain.
There are also some immortals who are desperate and come to Beihai to look for opportunities to make a fortune. They sell themselves to the mine owners, hoping to find the rare treasures in the fairy mines and become prosperous.
"What do you call fellow Taoists?"
Chen Shi asked the handsome woman and said in surprise, "There are very few immortals from Xiniu Xinzhou. I didn't expect to meet fellow Taoists here. It's just that your accent is a bit different."
"I've been away from home for a long time, and I have long forgotten my hometown dialect."
The handsome woman imitated his accent, which was 70% to 80% similar, and said with a smile, "My surname is Guan and my name is Qinshuang. You are new to Beihai and don't know the rules here. Scammers are rampant here. You may be betrayed when you first come here!"
Chen Shi Hao Ran said: "Senior Sister Guan, to be honest, I am here to sell myself this time. Isn't this because I have left the Lei Department and am desperate? I thought I would be able to make a difference after walking out of the Lei Department, but I didn't expect to ask for money everywhere, and I was deceived in Beidi Province..."
Guan Qinshuang felt sad and said: "There are more liars in Beidi Province than in Beihai. They are deceitful and deceitful. The Buddha has to peel off his skin when he goes in and comes out!"
She looked Chen Shi up and down and said with a smile: "You are not from the Lei Department, are you? You are dressed in an extraordinary way, you don't look like a heavenly soldier from the Lei Department."
After all, Chen Shi was the marshal of the world's military forces. He was originally dressed in bright and beautiful clothes, but he was worried that his clothes were too gorgeous and looked like a young child who had just emerged from heaven, so he changed into simple clothes.
But his simple clothes were still too luxurious in Guan Qinshuang's eyes.
"To be honest, I am Zhong Wuwang, Chief of the Heavenly Punishment Execution Court of the Thirty-Sixth Inner Court of the Lei Department. Under orders from my superiors, I came to the ground floor to inspect the people's situation and experience life."
Chen Shi's face turned gloomy and he said, "I am here to act in secret. Fellow Daoist Qin Shuang cannot "I want to make a statement."
Guan Qinshuang felt awe-struck: "The Lieutenant Commander of the 36th Inner Court of the Lei Department, the Superintendent of the Tianxing Execution Court? What a big connection!"
She didn't know that the chiefs and even the deans of the 36th Inner Court of the Lei Department had to line up outside Biyou Palace if they wanted to see Chen Shi.
But for an immortal like Guan Qinshuang, it is really difficult to meet a big shot like Zhongsi Yasi.
Chen Shi asked: "Fellow Taoist Qinshuang, my clothes don't look like a newly minted immortal?"
Guan Qinshuang knew that he had a noble origin and did not know the world, so he quickly said: "My lord's clothes may seem simple, but every stitch and thread is meticulously crafted by heaven, and the silk threads used have also been tempered thousands of times. The ordinary immortals cannot see the nobility, but in the eyes of those of us who travel around the world, we know the origin of your lord. Extraordinary. "
"That's it."
Chen Shi said angrily, "How can I understand the sentiments of the people? The superiors said that I am not down to earth and don't know the sufferings of the people below, so they asked me to come to Beihai for a trip. Can fellow Taoist Qinshuang help me get some clothes worn by the people below?"
Guan Qinshuang smiled and said, "What's the difficulty? Come with me, sir."
Chen Shi said seriously: "Fellow Taoist, I'm here to understand the sentiments of the people. Don't call me sir. If you don't care, call me Zhong Wuwu, or Erniu."
Guan Qinshuang hesitated for a moment. She didn't dare to call him Erniu, but said: "Friend Zhong Dao."
Chen Shi reluctantly nodded: "Don't be special, as if I am different from these poor indigo."
Guan Qinshuang found a set of clothes for him that belonged to a low-level immortal and placed them in front of Chen Shi.
Chen Shi looked at it and showed disgust: "These are the clothes of the lower-level immortals? It's disgusting, take them away quickly."
Guan Qinshuang was about to take them away, but Chen Shi said again: "That's all, let's keep it for now. I'll just wear it."
Guan Qinshuang left the clothes behind. Chen Shi picked up the clothes with two fingers, but still didn't have the courage to wear them. He sighed: "This is what poor people wear? How can you go out wearing these clothes?"
Guan Qinshuang said with a smile: "Master Zhong is a local of the Earthly Immortal Realm, right?"
Chen Shi nodded: "I was born in the Zhong family in Thunder City, the Earthly Immortal Realm. My ancestors were immortals who followed the Three Pure Ones and ascended to the Earthly Immortal Realm." This is the son of a noble family!
She did not dare to be negligent and said with a smile: "No wonder. Mr. Zhong, these clothes are already very impressive for the immortals who have ascended to the lower world. The clothes are made of gastrodia elata produced in the Huosang Valley. After soaking in vinegar for forty-nine days, the hemp is extracted and given to the Weaver Girl. After being compiled by them, they were imprinted with different defensive patterns and spirit-gathering arrays, and coupled with the Light Body Talisman Seal and the Xiaguang Talisman Seal, it also looked like a Taoist Immortal."
Chen Shi was surprised. Said: "These poor people are so well-dressed? They are still crying every day that they can't survive. It's really lawless!"
Guan Qinshuang explained: "It's not so elegant. This kind of clothes is very extraordinary for mortals, like heavenly clothes, but it is a bit useless for immortals. It can't improve much defense, and it can't gather much spiritual energy. It can't completely lighten one's body."
"That's it."
Chen Shi took a few Tianyuan Jiaozi and stuffed them into her hand and said, "I want to experience the people's feelings in Beihai. You and I will leave here." It's inconvenient for you to do things here, so why don't you let me accompany you and take care of you along the way?"
Chen Shi hesitated and said, "I won't delay your affairs?"
"No delay, no delay."
Guan Qinshuang followed him, and Chen Shi observed the people's sentiments in Jingzhou City, bought a lot of Jingzhou's specialties, and spent a lot of money.
· Guan Qinshuang laughed secretly when she saw this: "Why is this young master here to understand the sentiments of the people? He is obviously here to have fun. If I can get close to him, I don't have to hang out in the cesspit of Beihai."
She has often proposed to offer herself a pillow, but Chen Shi lacks interest.
· Guan Qinshuang wanted to climb up, but seeing that he had no interest in this aspect, she thought to herself, "Well, let's sell him to the miner and make some money."
· The two of them took a car to the countryside of Yanzhou. Guan Qinshuang was not familiar with this place, and planned to sell Chen Shi to the miner when they arrived in Yanzhou City.
When he arrived in Daowang County, Chen Shi sold her to the mine in Heishui Mountain.
When the mine head came to collect the person, Guan Qinshuang realized that something was wrong and immediately tried to escape using the fairy light. Unexpectedly, just as she took off, a bundle of fairy ropes flew over and tied her up on all fours, face to the ground, and she fell down.
Guan Qinshuang shouted: "I am the Black Taibao! I am the Black Taibao!"
The miner stepped forward, lifted her up, gave her two mouthfuls, and shouted: "What's your name? A death seeker! So that you know,
You have been sold to us in Heishui Mountain by your man!"
Guan Qinshuang cried: "I am really a seller, not the one being sold! He is not my man, I am here to sell him!" You go to Jingzhou to do some digging. My aunt sold a lot of immortals to mine in the mountains!”
It’s countless times better than working hard outside. 」
Guan Qinshuang smiled and said: "Sir, I know that the slaves in the mine have a hard time surviving for more than five years. I can sell myself -"
"Pa!" Pile. Go to work! "
Guan Qinshuang secretly said something bad: "Grandma, I met someone who practices white bones to become an immortal! I don't care about hard and soft things."
The white bone view is a method of visualizing the human body as white bones. After you have achieved this, you will see that any beautiful woman has a white skeleton. When you look at others, you will also see yourself as a white bone. Therefore, he behaves ruthlessly and is not confused by emotions.
Not long after, Guan Qinshuang was taken to Heishui Mountain, where a dragnet was set up above and below the entire Fairy Mountain mine to prevent the slaves from escaping.
This mine slave is not just a torturer. He also gives money when he digs good mines. He will have a lot of friends from Tianyuan, and he can also manage enough fairy spirit liquid.
The real danger comes from the depths of the mines. People often dig out unknown ancient objects or skeletons in the mines, or the abnormal spaces in the mines, and die unexpectedly.
Guan Qinshuang was escorted to the No. 4 mining area, following a group of immortal miners preparing to enter the mountains.
At this time, she saw a familiar figure and couldn't help but feel inexplicably excited. She rushed forward, grabbed the man's sleeve, and shouted: "Zhong Wuwang! What a thief, you sold me here to be a slave in the mines. Today, you and I are at odds with each other!"
That person was Chen Shi. He broke away from Guan Qinshuang and raised his eyebrows: "Does the girl want to be violent?"
Guan Qinshuang was startled and did not dare to be violent with him. She suppressed her anger and sneered: "Why did you come in to be a slave in the mines? Could it be that you were also sold?" Chen Shi shook his head and said, "I came here to experience the people's sentiments, so after I sold you, I sold myself to the mine boss."
Guan Qinshuang complained endlessly and begged for mercy: "Master, this mine will be replaced by a group of immortals every five years! Even if the Daluo Immortal comes, it will be difficult to live for five years! You should quickly reveal your identity and take me away. This hell!"
Chen Shi smiled and said: "Don't worry, if you encounter danger, I will reveal my identity and take you away."
Guan Qinshuang felt hope in her heart.
The two of them entered the mountains together with the large army. The mineral veins in Heishui Mountain were different from those in Penglaixi. Penglaixi's fairy mine was in the mountains, and they needed to dig through the mountains to enter the mines. The mineral veins of Blackwater Mountain are mountains on both sides of the Blackwater River.
These mountains are made up of fist-sized stones and soil. They are extremely steep. The mining immortals must enter the mountains from both sides of the Blackwater River and search for treasures in the mines along the way.
The stones in the mountains mostly contain jade, which contains immortal spiritual power, but the outer veins have basically been hollowed out, leaving only the inner veins.
Chen Shi looked at the mountain and saw that most of the ordinary stones here were Five Elements strange stones, which contained the Five Elements Taoist power. Unfortunately, most of the Five Elements Taoist power had died and could no longer be used. Otherwise, it is an extremely precious five-color stone that can be sold to Nuwa Palace for a lot of money.
"Be careful that there are bugs in the river, don't get them in the water!"
An old miner said loudly, "If those bugs get on the skin and flesh, cut off the skin and flesh immediately, and you can still be saved. If you are slower, you can only cut the legs!"
"Don't touch the glow on the river, it is the light of the outsiders, and you will die if you touch it!"
"Mine The thing that radiates fairy light may be jade, or it may be an ancient relic or a remnant of a great demon. Bet on your luck! If you bet correctly, you won’t have to mine anymore for three years, and you will have enough spiritual energy every day, and you will have a beautiful wife and everything you need!”
Next to him was a young immortal who said: "You are with your companions. If you dig up treasures, your companions will be jealous and will kill you. There are many immortals who died in the mining area. If you die in there, no one will care about you. So be careful with your companions."
Chen Shi suddenly said: "I see. Fellow Taoist, were you sold in?" r/> The young immortal shook his head: "I have no money, so I took the initiative to come in and mine. There are still many good things that have not been dug out in the Blackwater Mountains.
Last time I dug a piece of beautiful jade here, and the mine head rewarded me with eight thousand jade pieces and thirty bottles of fairy spirit liquid. I stopped working. Now that the money has been spent, the spirit liquid has also been used up, so I came back to make another fortune."
There were several mining immortals nearby who came over and were very envious. One of them smiled and said: "I am a good luck saint and have extraordinary luck. I will definitely find treasures this time! Can we also be lucky?"
The young immortal glanced at them and sneered: "A group of four of you, are you going to kill me to seize the treasure when I find it? This is not the first time I have entered the mine!"
He speeded up and left these four people behind.
One of the mining immortals took a sip: "You little brat thinks so bad of us, you have an impure heart!"
He looked at Chen Shi and smiled: "Brother, there is strength in numbers, so why don't we get together so we can take care of each other."
Chen Shi was about to agree, when another mining fairy saw Chen Shi's face clearly and smiled quickly: "The four of us are enough, there is no need to recruit more people. Let's go!"
The four of them left quickly.
"Brother, this man is obviously a young child, why did he leave?"
"Shut up! He has killed many more people than us! I just made eye contact with him, and I can see that this man is ruthless. You listen to me, stay away from him, let's go plot against other immortals, don't provoke him!"
Suddenly, there was a loud bang in front, and a mountain made of five-element rocks was dug down, killing many people. Some nearby immortals were forced to fly back when the Five-Element Mountain was pressed down. Some people retreated into the Blackwater River and were immediately eroded by the insects in the river. The insects burrowed into their skin, muscles, and burrowed into their bodies!
The immortals who were quick to see the opportunity immediately peeled off their skin and flesh, or cut off their own legs. There were also immortals who were unwilling to harm themselves. Before they hesitated, the insects burrowed into their bodies. In just a few moments, they were eaten until only their bones, clothes and hair were left. It was horrifying!
There were some immortals who flew into the air, and when they encountered the glow of the outer path above the river, they immediately screamed and were polluted by the outer path. They fell down, their flesh and blood grew wildly, and turned into grotesque monsters.
Everyone used magic to kill these immortals together, but several more people died in the monster's mouth.
Chen Shi approached and saw that the situation had calmed down, leaving more than twenty corpses behind.
"What Immortal Wen Cheng wants me to see are these immortals who live at the bottom of the earthly immortal world."
Chen Shi's face was like an ancient well, without any ripples, but there was a voice in his heart that said, "If there was no godmother and no Tianji strategy, I would be struggling at the bottom like them now."
At this time, a sad and angry voice echoed on the river. It was an immortal from the lower world. Screaming: "Fellow Taoists, do we have to live like this? Why can heaven control the holy land, why can the gods be high above us? Why can the gods control our life and death? Why are the things we fight for with our lives so easy for them to get?"
He was inexplicably excited, and his voice became more and more passionate.
"It's the gods who are unfair! It's the heaven that has caused all this injustice! Only our fairy court can break this injustice! Fellow Taoists who are not willing to live like this, join our fairy court!"
Chen Shi heard this and moved slightly in his heart: "The power of the Immortal Emperor Supreme has begun to penetrate into the bottom of the Earthly Immortal Realm, and it is extremely bewitching."
