Although the blow failed, the child did not give up, but shouted three times, "Sword!"
It's just that the imagination is beautiful, but the air is filled with embarrassment, leaving only the ridicule of a group of immortal cultivators, all asking where is the sword?
But the curse seemed to come true in the next breath. A huge sword passed directly through the leader's chest and was inserted into a tree in the distance, making a buzzing sound. Lin Su already knew all this. There were several People with higher cultivation levels appeared, but they were only in the middle stage of Yuan cultivation.
The newcomers didn't talk nonsense. Before the dozen or so robbers could react, they killed each other in a few seconds. The originally arrogant gangsters were instantly lying on the ground.
However, Lin Su didn't think these people were good people. On the contrary, they might be worse. Just when Lao Qiao was about to go over and thank him, he heard one of them say, kill the old guy directly, and sell the kid and the mute to The third brother works as a miner.
"Mute?" These two words made Master Gou laugh.
"Boss, this old guy looks quite strong. Third brother's side is very short of people recently," another person reminded. After saying this, the person nodded, and the two of them immediately arranged for Lin Su and others. .
Lao Qiao was desperate this time. Unexpectedly, the waves of people who came were getting stronger and worse. Now he had to accept his fate. He met the gangsters not once or twice, but this time they made it clear that they didn't want money.
I learned from them along the way that this third brother is a mine owner who specializes in recruiting strong men for mining, or taking them away by force, even the elderly and children, and they all work as coolies. He is considered a tyrant in the east of the city. .
When he first entered the city, Lin Su's first thought was, I wonder which house Hu Wusi bought here? He suddenly smiled bitterly, which was really a conditioned reflex, and this expression fell into the eyes of Lao Qiao, who immediately comforted him a few times. This young man was also very pitiful.
Biandu City was not in chaos. As soon as they entered the city, several people were fighting each other. One of them actually blocked most of the attacks with his cloak. Lin Su knew that it was a magic weapon, but the next breath of the person was instantly Being killed from behind, the cloak was immediately snatched away, but the reversal was not over yet. Just after the late Yuan Xiu man got it, he was intercepted and killed again by an early Yuan Ling person. The latter disappeared instantly after snatching it. In place.
Although these scenes were quite lively, there were not many onlookers. They seemed to have become accustomed to such scenes. They just glanced at them and then lowered their heads and continued to do their own things. Obviously, such things are not a big deal in Biandu City.
After the carriage entered the city, it did not go straight, but went around another small alley. The sound of iron tools clanking could be heard in the distance, which sounded like a group of people reclaiming wasteland.
It was not until a few cups of tea passed that the carriage slowly stopped. Lin Su and others knew that they had arrived at their destination, and there were actually hundreds of immortal cultivators gathered nearby, covering the large courtyard in front of them.
The leader said hello to the guard and then passed through without any obstruction. After entering the door, the banging sound became more intensive. After passing two yards, he saw a group of naked coolies, all of whom were strong and carrying. There were bags of dust, and there was an overseer with a whip on one side. If anyone was slow, he would be beaten hard.
"Look, I have brought three more coolies to Third Brother, as well as so much good food," the leader of the convoy jumped down and said to the supervisor.
"Very good. Let Third Brother reward you later. You take them to the bottom front line. Several people died there today and they are short of people." The supervisor said with an unlucky look on his face.
Just after passing through a separate courtyard, Old Qiao suddenly began to beg, asking them how much money he wanted to let his grandson go. It was obvious that he was frightened by this scene. A person had just been beaten to death on the spot, and his body was already covered with blood. It's bruised all over.
"You old guy, why are you so shameless? It's a supreme honor to follow the third brother!" The leader immediately pulled him down and kicked him a few times to tell him to be honest.
"That is, among the more than a hundred cultivators among us, who has not left his own sect and come here? Just to hang out with the third brother, we have given up cultivating immortals in the sect. What is the use? It is better to live in this world. Be free and at ease!" Another person in the crowd persuaded with kind words, but this also made Lin Su slightly stunned. So many immortal cultivators are actually from the righteous sect, and they left their own sect just to do this? Shock!
"You people are the scum of the righteous way, Qingxuanmen will not let you go!" The child suddenly became angry, because this is different from the righteous way he imagined, they are just a shame of the righteous way.
"Haha, this little kid looks exactly like me when I was young. I don't know if Qingxuanmen will let me go, but now you have to go mining, otherwise there will be no dinner tonight," the man said He grabbed the child with one hand and threw it to the entrance of a passage in the distance.
Lin Su was treated as a transparent person throughout the whole process, and he was a little surprised by the rebellion or depravity of so many immortal cultivators. At this time, he remembered what the grass-planting devil said, maybe there is no so-called absolute justice and justice in this world. Evil, good and evil are often just a thought.
This passage was tall enough for a person, but the smell was very unpleasant. As soon as he entered the passage, Old Qiao coughed hard several times. This was worse than he imagined; but there was no supervisor down there, only two people guarding the door. There are dozens of miners, and that's just what you can see.
And Lin Su found that several people were lying on the ground lifeless and even emitting an unpleasant corpse smell, but no one paid attention to it? Just some straw mats.
"They didn't complete the task on time and starved to death. Are they new here?" A strong man came over with three shovels. Apparently he met many new people.
"Complete the mission?" Lao Qiao took the shovel and asked shakily.
"Huh? Don't you know what you are going to dig for?" This man's nickname is Lao Dai, and he was also arrested. He has been here for a year, and he is the longest-serving person who has not died yet, so he knows a lot about it.
After his explanation, Lin Su was slightly surprised. The mining here actually involves digging for gems, and they are primitive gems. After they are dug out, they are transported to a special processing factory for deep processing, and then sold to some nobles to make money. Those nobles are the most likely to make money. I really like this stuff, red, blue, green, yellow, and even pink, it’s all available.
"Then how much did you dig?" Lin Su asked calmly.
"It's quite a lot, but it's too tiring, and landslides happen from time to time. If it gets serious, people will be killed, but just be careful. We haven't found one today yet. We have to hurry up, otherwise we won't have anything to eat," said the old man. Dai sighed.
"Have you never thought about resisting?" Lin Su asked softly.
These words were so frightening that Lao Dai dropped the shovel in his hand. He looked around in a panic and found that no one was looking this way. He immediately made a hissing gesture and large beads of sweat fell from his forehead. Come down; because if this word reaches the ears of the overseer, he will be beaten to death in front of everyone as a warning to others!
But Lin Su snorted at this. He came here to get some information. If he couldn't get any effective information, he would leave in a matter of minutes. How could those vegetables outside stop him?
However, Lao Dai lived up to his expectations and revealed some useful information while mining, which surprised Lin Su; this third brother's original name was Zhang San, and he was nicknamed Outlaw Zhang San. The reason why Biandu City is able to thrive is entirely because of his collusion with the Demon Sect, or in other words, his boss is someone from the Demon Sect.
But at this point, Lao Dai stopped talking, because he felt that he had said enough, and if he continued talking, he was afraid that the news would leak out, and he would be in trouble.
So the air fell into silence again, until a miner shouted, which immediately attracted everyone. Whenever this sound was heard, it proved that someone had mined gems, which meant that everyone's dinner was secured. Thinking about it makes me excited.
After a few shovels, a pink stone was revealed, which shocked Lao Dai. Could it be a pink gemstone? I have been working on it for almost a year, and today I finally saw the most high-end pink gem. There may be meat in the meal tonight!
Lin Su could feel that this pink gemstone was definitely more than just a small piece in front of him. Following the lines, it weighed hundreds of kilograms. If converted into gold coins, it would be at least millions. The miners' shouts were also Attracted the two guards above.
