Chapter 714 The Immortal at the Bottom
There were still many immortals in the mining area who saw the suffering before them. Thinking of the life they had lived over the years, they felt something in their hearts. They gathered around the shouting immortal and raised their heads to listen to him.
At this time, an elder among the immortals shouted: "What are you gathering here for? Have you dug the mine? Have you made any money? Don't give up your life! Let's go, let's go! Let the heaven know and chop your heads off!"
The crowd gradually dispersed.
But many people still stayed and asked the young immortal about the Immortal Court.
"We immortals should have our own fairy court, not the heavenly court of the gods."
The young immortal was still very excited and said, "The earthly immortal world was opened by immortals, not gods! We ascended, not to eat chaffy vegetables, or to risk our lives to dig mines for the gods. ! Join the Immortal Court, why should you be oppressed by the gods? "
Chen Shi passed by and looked at the young immortal, and saw that this man was full of enthusiasm and impassioned, and his expression did not seem to be hypocritical.
He should really want to overthrow Heaven and change the world.
This kind of heart is innocent, but it is easy to be exploited.
"Looking at the many dynasties in the ancestral court, the prosperity and change, most of the noble families became the emperors of the dynasty. Now they are just the noble families in the earthly immortal world. Seeing that the immortals at the bottom cannot survive, conflicts are triggered, like burning oil cooking in a fire."
Chen Shi said silently in his heart, "They wanted to change the dynasty. They wanted to add fire to the hot oil and overthrow the Heavenly Court to become the Emperor of Heaven and become the master. However, they did not change the way of the world. Those who control the resources of the Holy Land still control the resources of the Holy Land. The immortals just put the resources of the Holy Land controlled by the Gods into their own pockets. But how can we truly change this era?"
Suddenly, a ray of sword light flew past him, piercing the young immortal with a whoosh, and blood immediately spattered!
An ape-like figure leapt to the side of the young immortal, grabbed the sword that shot away, held the sword in one hand, and grabbed the young immortal's neck and lifted it up.
「Mouth!」
With very quick hands and feet, he cut off the head of the young immortal. His eyes flashed with excitement, and he said with a smile: "This rebel head can be taken to the Yamen for reward! Another profit! What are you looking at? Are you going to become rebels too?"
The immortals who just listened were not frightened by his words and dispersed, but stared at him, with hatred shining in their eyes.
"Heavenly lackey!" A middle-aged immortal said coldly.
The ape-like immortal was startled. Knowing that he had offended the public, he immediately flew up and fled deep into the mining area.
piece of fairy weapons followed closely behind, making sharp sounds that broke through the air, and everyone rushed to kill him.
Chen Shi did not chase after him, but looked at the headless body of the young immortal, silently.
Guan Qinshuang followed up and said: "Master, stop looking. This kind of thing is very common in Beihai."
Chen Shi calmed down and asked, "Do these people always fight?"
Guan Qinshuang said: "I have never been to the mining area, nor I don’t know. But the Immortal Court and the Heavenly Court often fight.”
Chen Shi found out after asking that the Fairy Court had a lot of people in places like Beihai, preaching everywhere and recruiting immortals who were not living a satisfactory life, and the Heavenly Court also noticed the Immortal Court’s intentions, so they issued a killing order.
· Guan Qinshuang said: "Beihai can often see the gods of the Heavenly Court searching for the Immortals of the Immortal Courtyard, and it is common for the two sides to fight each other. The immortals of the Immortal Courtyard are wanted by the Heavenly Court, and the price of one head is clearly marked. The Immortal Courtyard also offers a reward for the heads of the Immortals of the Heavenly Court.
Beihai is close to Beiju Luzhou and is a lawless place. "
Chen Shi did not continue to ask and walked forward.
They soon reached the depths of the mining area, where immortals had already started mining.
Chen Shi stopped to watch and saw that these immortals were mining far apart from each other, and it was rare for two or three people to mine together.
The first step in mining is to select a site, observe the mine with magic eyes such as the divine eye and celestial pupil, or use strange beasts such as treasure-hunting rats to search, or use methods such as fortune-telling to calculate.
After choosing a location, you must first set up a killing array. This killing array is not used to deal with the dangers in the mines, but to guard against outsiders.
Chen Shi saw some people setting up sword arrays, and some people refining treasures with demon blood to make flags and placing them in different directions. There are also weird things like eyes, bugs, mirrors, altars, and all sorts of strange spells.
Then comes mining.
The mining of this kind of open pit vein is also different from Penglaixi. Xi soil needs to be dealt with first. The soil will expand rapidly when it encounters air, and can crush people to death if they are not careful.
The Five Elements Stones are also extremely heavy and even somewhat unstable. If it is hit, it is very likely that the five elements will lose control, which is very dangerous.
The wonderful thing is that the rigid Five Elements Stones form a stable and balanced situation with the soil. The soil wraps the Five Elements Stones and will not expand. Even if the Five Elements stones are wrapped in soil, the Five Elements will not be confused.
Therefore, miners must be careful to ensure that when mining, they do not let the soil fall, nor do they use brute force to mine the Five Elements Stone.
The fourth step is to identify whether the stone wrapped in the soil is a five-element stone, a treasure, or some other strange thing. This is also the time when the mortality rate is the highest, because there are also many other ancient remnants in the fairy mine.
Of course, it is also possible to mine the waste gas sealed in the veins. At that time, it is basically a mining disaster.
Fifth, after mining the treasure, quietly put away the treasure, look for the next vein, and then leave quietly when no one is paying attention, and hand the treasure to the mine head in exchange for money.
Chen Shi observed for a long time to make sure he was familiar with the process here before going to mine.
Guan Qinshuang originally thought that after the young master had suffered enough, he would give up the idea of understanding the people's sentiments, reveal his identity and take her away. However, she did not expect that Chen Shi actually started digging in a decent way.
He also chose the location for mining and set up defensive formations. He was also careful when mining, lest he release soil. After collecting the stones, he carefully tested whether the stones in the soil were ordinary five-element stones, treasures, or things from ancient times.
It's just that the stones he dug were all ordinary stones, and no real treasures were found.
In fact, with Chen Shi's cultivation and Taoism, it is easy to tell whether the abnormal smell emitting from the veins is treasure ore or the skeleton of a great demon,
or something from the ancient era.
He is proficient in the heretics. Whether it is the heretics contained in the bones of the great demon or the strange objects of the heretics in ancient times, he can clearly distinguish them. As long as these things are eliminated, the thing that emits abnormal aura is a treasure.
He did not use this ability, but mined like a normal immortal.
The purpose of his coming here is not to mine. He does not pay attention to the fairy mines and jade produced here at all. Penglaixi is one of the best holy places in the world. The fairy ore and jade produced from the mines there are truly superior treasures.
His purpose here is to follow the path that Immortal Wen Cheng walked.
He wanted to see what was the reason that made Immortal Wen Cheng do such evil.
"This young master only feels that everything is new. After a few days of hard life, he will leave." Guan Qin Shuangxin said.
What she expected was that Chen Shi stayed in the mining area for half a year, doing nothing but mining every day and paying no attention to other things.
Occasionally Chen Shi can dig out jade or fairy ore of good value, but when he exchanges it for money, the price given by the mine head will be greatly reduced. Moreover, after exchanging money, he still had to buy fairy spirit liquid to replenish his cultivation level, and the remaining money was used to buy magic weapons for setting up formations.
——
—In the mining area, because the place is filled with the atmosphere of outsiders, magic weapons will break down quickly, especially the magic weapons in formations, which need to be replaced every once in a while.
Hence, the money he has left is really not much.
Other mining immortals were similar to him. They worked hard to mine, even risking their lives. In the end, they only got a few Tianyuan Jiaozi.
Some of them will save carefully and plan for the future. They plan to save enough money to buy better exercises, achieve success in the future, and stay away from this place.
Some people are dissipated and spend the money they have. After squandering it, they will return to the mining area and continue mining.
There are also people who get addicted to gambling, hoping to double their fortunes at the gambling table and win all the money from other people, but they often end up in poverty.
The place where Chen Shi lives is called Yinxianju. It has a nice name, but it is just the place where the bottom-level immortals who work in mining live.
This is a 480-story building with a strict formation, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
The place where the mining fairy lives has a living room that can accommodate two or three people. The fairy family will have children accompanying them to live in it.
There is a public alchemy room in Yinxian Residence. You can go in and make alchemy for a little money.
There is also an immortal master's workshop that specializes in puppet training. The puppets are like real people, lifelike and charming. If you can't help your desires, you can spend a small amount of money to vent them.
Yinxianju also set up a magic circle to gather the spiritual energy near Beihai, making it very livable.
However, in just six months, Chen Shi found that his neighbors had changed several times.
Those neighbors who disappeared, I don’t know whether they died or they dug up treasure mines and left.
Chen Shi continued to mine, and only 30% of the immortals who entered the fourth mining area of Heishui Mountain with him to mine together were left.
Guan Qinshuang is also still alive, but one arm is missing.
The last time Chen Shi met her, she had to tell Chen Shi that she accidentally aroused the soil while digging, and her hand was crushed.
"When will the young master leave?" She asked dully, her eyes dull.
"Just wait a little longer." Chen Shi said.
More than a month later, Chen Shi met Guan Qinshuang again. Her complexion was sallow and her manuscript was dry.
She said that she fell in love with a young immortal in the mining area, and she no longer wanted to work as a black eunuch, as it would hurt her morality.
「That’s a good thing.」
Chen Shi said, "After you get out, you and that immortal should live a good life and stop doing evil things."
Chen Zhengzhi was a little at a loss.
Suddenly, she looked at Chen Shi with a look of anticipation: "Master, when are we leaving? I can't stay here anymore!"
She started crying again, laughing and crying, and slapped herself with her good right arm.
"I sent so many immortals in! I've done so many sins! I've killed so many people! Haha, I deserve it!"
Chen Shi entered the mining area again. When he came to the deepest part of the mining area, around a corner, he saw a body lying on the ground.
He recognizes this person.
This young immortal can often mine good immortal minerals. Others say that he is the Holy Body of Good Luck and the Holy Body of Mining.
Some people say that he was born with great luck and was a mining prodigy who could turn danger into good fortune.
Only this time, the young man's luck seemed to have run out.
He died in the fourth mining area.
Chen Shi buried the young man's body in the mining area and walked out instead of continuing to mine.
· New mining immortals came to the mining area, and a veteran shouted to them: "There are bugs in the Blackwater River, don't touch the river water! If the bugs get on the skin and flesh, cut off the skin and flesh immediately, and you can still be saved. Slow down and you can only cut the legs!"
Some immortals said angrily: "Fellow Taoists, this is not the way of the world we want—to overthrow the Heavenly Court and build our own Immortal Court!"
He searched for it but couldn't find it. He went to the Hermitage again but couldn't find it either. The immortal who manages Yinxianju said that Guanqinshuang had not come back for several days.
"Do you know where she went?"
"Who knows? Maybe she left, maybe she died."
Chen Shi came to see the mine head and told him that he wanted to redeem himself.
The mine manager smiled and said: "Did you get enough money for your praise? You are a very good boy. You have survived to this day. I think you are born to be a mining saint. You will have great luck! You will definitely be able to dig up ancient treasures in the mining area! Don't leave. I will charge you 10% less for the stones you mine from now on!"
Chen Shi shook his head and said: "I saw too many dead people, so I dare not stay still."
The mine manager suddenly lost interest in him and said lazily: "What a pity." "
The mine head lazily fiddled with a piece of jade, without looking up at him, and said angrily: "You didn't find her in the mining area? That means she is dead. This kind of woman is dead when she dies, and she doesn't feel bad. She has harmed many people. Don't you think so?"
Chen Shi said: "Yes."
He walked out of the mining area.
The sun outside is dazzling.
As Chen Shi walked out, his eyes were sore, and he couldn't help but shed tears as he walked.
He swallowed hard as he walked, and raised his sleeves to wipe his tears, like a mining fairy who had been cheated out of all his money by the miner.
He walked to the roadside and couldn't stop his tears. He sat on a stone and cried.
"This is not how the world should be—" he lowered his head, eyes red, and sobbed.
After a long time, he cheered up his spirits and mustered up the courage to leave Beihai and rush towards Beiju Luzhou.
He did not ride on a starship, but flew on his way like an ordinary immortal, stopping to rest when he was tired. Two months later, he came to Beiju Luzhou and found the animal trapping team of the great state.
"Master, I want to sell myself to you."
Chen Shi's face showed a simple smile like other immortals who have just ascended, "I want to make some money and improve my cultivation."
The captain of the trapping team is a majestic man, Black Bear. Ordinary men smiled and said: "Are you desperate?"
"Yes. You are desperate."
"Come with us. The beasts we capture are for heaven. Although it is a life-threatening job, as long as you survive, you can make a lot of money!"
