Chapter 10 Named Disciples
He kowtowed heavily, making a dull sound on the ground.
Wu Feng didn't stop him, and let the kid kowtow nine times before letting him stop.
Ai Xiaojing raised his head, his black and white eyes staring straight at Wu Feng, his face full of expectancy, and the blood on his forehead flowed down his cheeks and poured into his clothes.
"From now on, you will be my [Sword Sect]... the sect leader's named disciple. It's up to you when you turn into a full member."
After saying a few words, Wu Feng brushed off his clothes and walked away. He didn't take away a single cloud, leaving only Hua Xixue, who looked confused, and Cheng Fei and others with big eyes and small eyes.
Shaking her head vigorously, Hua SiXue confirmed that the ancestor had designated a disciple for herself, even though it was by name.
So he had to smile bitterly and help Ai Xiaojing up.
"Come, come, let me teach you how to get started..."
Wu Feng was not prepared to force his way. He wanted to make a decision on the [commissioned people] of Changle County, but he did not mean that he would fight to the death.
"Too dangerous!"
Several people with the right to know felt that it was too risky after hearing Wu Feng's plan.
"Ancestor, let me go!"
Cheng Fei volunteered, thinking that Wu Feng was still in charge of the overall situation, and as for sneaking into the mine and contacting the [people who donated], it was better for him to do it.
"This matter can only be done if I go."
Wu Feng shook his head and said, "Only I can control the Soaring Cloud Flying Boat. At the critical moment, none of you can do anything as easily as me."
"Besides, we must take these people away this time. We can only succeed, not fail."
"Otherwise, even if a mountain gate is erected in the wild ridge, the success will fall short due to manpower."
The reasons given by Wu Feng are very good, and the biggest reason is that if his ancestor is in danger, then who of the few present is not in danger?
Western suburb of Changle County
There are many mineral veins here, but because of the dense forests, dangerous terrain, and numerous ferocious beasts and poisonous insects, the output has not been high.
As the private mine of Princess Changle, no matter how favored King Li was, he would not be able to use the power of the court to do personal things for her.
Until now, only a small number of death row inmates from Changle County were undergoing treatment, and the progress was slow.
But things are different now. The court and the sect have turned against each other, and the "devoted people" who were protected by the practitioners in the past have all become mourning dogs.
Since these [contributing people] only paid tribute and did not pay taxes, they had a lot of savings. Compared with good people, most of them were nutritious and strong, and some were even proficient in fists and feet, making them excellent laborers.
Princess Changle gave the order, and although these people no longer had to wander around, their lives became more miserable.
In this harsh place, people worked day and night, and the people sent by the princess to supervise the work allowed the original death row prisoners to bully and exploit these "consecrated people".
They didn't have enough to eat, they didn't have enough clothes to wear, they had endless work to do, they were oppressed, they were whipped at every turn, and their dead bodies were even thrown to the dogs.
He is a human being and wants to run as long as he has arms and legs.
But here, not only are there guards sent by the princess, but there are also countless poisonous insects and ferocious beasts in the mountains and jungles outside.
There is really no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth. Even if I want to die, when I think of becoming the food of animals after death, I don't even dare to die. I can only try my best to live without people or ghosts, and live one day at a time.
Such a group of people did not expect that someone was actually plotting against them, trying to snatch food from the tiger's mouth and get rid of them.
Wu Feng's clothes are ragged, his hair is messy, like a chicken coop on top of his head, his face is pitch black, and his hands covered with dirt are leaning on a bamboo pole. He looks like a beggar. At first glance, he looks like a desperate man.
[the people who contributed].
"stop!"
He was walking on a village road at this time, but he didn't expect that at the intersection of the road
There are still soldiers patrolling.
Wu Feng was startled, turned around and ran away.
"Get him!"
There was a shout, and then he was picked up by someone like he was flying in the clouds.
Wu Feng was walking in the procession, surrounded by surrendered people who were in the same embarrassment as him.
There are more than 500 of them in total, and they were all caught scattered. Now they are gathered together to be sent to the princess's mine.
Many people still don't know what it means to go mining, and they think that if they have work to do, they will have food to eat.
You and your family can survive!
There is hope on their faces, and they even walk faster, hoping to get to the place faster, work early, and get paid to fill their stomachs.
There are also some people whose eyes are full of despair and don't want to move a step. These people must have heard about where they are going and know that it is the land of the King of Hell where bones are torn apart and marrow is sucked out.
But there were soldiers escorting him all around, so he couldn't escape even if he wanted to.
What's more, there are several practitioners in black robes who have been following the team.
Practitioners who submitted to the court and the king of Li were allowed to keep their own mountain gates. Even some outstanding sects were given other people's mountain gates, which were far better than their original mountain gates.
Being clear about rewards and punishments has always been the virtue of kings.
But some practitioners are not satisfied with this. They hope to get closer to the court and King Li.
So they left their sects and volunteered to become King Li's eagle dogs.
King Li organized these practitioners together, gave them black robes, and gave them the name Black Crow Army. He ordered them to go to various counties to coordinate with the court on errands.
As the most favored princess in front of King Li, commanding a few black crows is really nothing. These black crows are probably still feeling complacent about being able to do things for His Highness the princess!
This mining team was led into the mountains and forests and walked for three days before they reached their destination.
【Liuyun Crystal Mine】
This is a low-grade crystal mine, but its advantage lies in the huge reserves of the veins.
Therefore, five hundred people were gathered together and escorted over.
The few black crows that followed did not leave, but stayed with the soldiers.
These people who donated themselves were driven into the mines, and the dark mines, like the mouths of ferocious beasts that chose people to eat, swallowed up all of them.
"Seal the cave!"
The heavy iron fence was lowered to seal the entrance, and no one could get out unless the fence was raised again.
Looking back at the sealed cave entrance, many people finally came to their senses.
"No...no, sir, please let me go..."
A man threw himself in front of the fence, stretched out his hands, and begged the soldiers. But before he could finish his words, his arm was cut off with a knife, and he fell to the ground rolling and howling.
In just a short while, the person's breath quickly weakened, and if he didn't get timely treatment, he would be dead.
However, these people who donated their money were in panic and could not care about saving others.
Moreover, outside the fence, the soldiers were looking at them fiercely, with blood still dripping from the knives in their hands.
There were those who were cowardly by nature. Their legs simply gave out and they sat down on the ground, dejected and muttering to themselves unconsciously.
"It's over...it's over!"
"Finish you...!"
Suddenly, a thunderous cry shook countless people out of their minds, and all of them looked at him blankly.
A strong man with a full face and short beard, glaring eyes and shouting loudly.
"There are so many of us. I don't believe that these people who have killed tens of millions of people can still kill everyone!"
"Kill them all...who will mine for them?"
The strong man's words woke up the dreamer, and everyone suddenly came to their senses.
No longer as scared as before.
Thinking of the unlucky guy who was injured just now, some people were about to lend a helping hand, but they found that someone had already squatted next to the guy with a broken arm.
The blood on the severed arm had obviously stopped.
"Come here and help, move him to the wall."
In front of the soldiers in the mine, it was not appropriate to reveal too much, so Wu Feng just used ordinary [Hemostasis Powder] and applied it on the broken arm to stop the bleeding of the injured, and then fed him an [Analgesic Powder].
He won't die of pain alive.
Noticing the strong man's performance, which was a breakthrough, Wu Feng called the guy over to help.
Although the strong man had an evil appearance and a voice as loud as a gong, he had no resistance to Wu Feng's call.
He walked forward quickly and worked with Wu Feng to move the man with a broken arm to a flat place against the wall, so that he could sit leaning against the wall.
"These beasts are too cruel!"
The strong man was still aggrieved and said: "My name is Longbao. I was caught accidentally. You dare to step forward to save people. You are also a good man!"
"Just call me Wu Feng!"
Wu Feng looked at the injured who were in slightly better condition, and secretly thought it was a pity. Although his life was saved, some methods could not be used in order not to reveal his identity, and the man's arm could not be restored.
Unless he could meet a heaven-defying power in the future that could give birth to human flesh and bones, and get him a procedure to attach his arm, it was unlikely even if he thought about it.
"Brother, you have quite a personality with your name!"
Long Bao is a rough and arrogant person, but he fell in love with Wu Feng at first sight, saying: "If anything happens in the future, let me say hello. In this crystal mine, everyone will inevitably encounter difficulties. They are all common encounters. If we don't stick together, we will die faster. Don't do it."
Sorry."
Wu Feng nodded, seeing that Longbao's temperament and behavior could be used to his own advantage.
The dragon and leopard walked into the middle of the crowd again and talked about the principle that unity is strength. Regardless of what others thought, he walked to an open space and said loudly.
"If anyone is willing to team up with our old dragon, please come here. From now on, we will live and die together below."
"If there is food, let's share it together."
"If there is danger, let's all fight it together."
"Don't abandon, don't give up!"
Immediately, with a "hoo!", most of the people gathered around. Thinking that this dragon and leopard usually has a lot of prestige and is trusted by others, he responded to the call.
There were still a small number of people, but they were looking here, hesitating for a long time, and finally did not move.
This is the case in any situation, there are always people with different thoughts, and it is also difficult to choose to trust someone.
Unless necessary, you are not willing to entrust your own safety, etc., to the control of others.
Even what Longbao is doing now is more like a temporary grouping for warmth in the face of unknown dangers.
"Count me in!"
Wu Feng raised his hands and shouted loudly.
Seeing Longbao turning around, Wu Feng grinned and pointed at the man with a broken arm sitting next to him.
"And him!"
Going in from the entrance of the cave, the path became narrower and more rugged, until finally only two people could pass side by side, and they had to lower their heads to pass.
After walking about three or four kilometers, it gradually became spacious again.
However, Longbao and others encountered trouble here.
They were stopped!
The person who stopped them was a prisoner on death row who had been in this mine before.
"Listen up!"
A ferocious bald head scanned the people who had just arrived here as if they were looking at prey.
"If you want to live here, you must obey the rules."
Chapter completed!
