It seems simple, but in fact it is complicated, because the world of cultivation, like the secular world, is a world where interests come first, and monks also want to gain more benefits.
Those who are in charge of the mines also want to obtain more benefits, so they try to get more benefits from the miners. In fact, it is very simple, just to collect bribes.
Maybe, you would say, what good things would a mortal have to bribe the monks?
If you say this, you are totally wrong. There are also ordinary people who have unexpected encounters and obtain the magical herbs of heaven and earth.
, cultivation materials, but they can’t use them, the monks can, thus forming a bribery link.
However, these are all potential transactions, and monks have to choose trustworthy people, so the number of miners will ultimately be controlled by such people.
If Li Qing wants to enter the Sky Burial Mining Area, he must go through this kind of people.
To this end, he worked hard.
The ancient city was a city that prospered due to the sky burial mining area. It had a population of no less than one million. Li Qing came here in a dark residential area in the city.
Boom!
He knocked on an ancient courtyard door.
"Who are you looking for?"
Soon, an old man's voice came from the hospital.
"There is a sky in the stone." Li Qing said. This was the secret code given by the middleman he found, otherwise the person who controls the number of miners and so on would not see him.
With a creak, the old door opened, and the old man's voice came out: "Come in."
Li Qing walked in and saw an old man appearing in his eyes.
This old man had a wrinkled face and was wearing a patched linen garment. He was sitting on the threshold, smoking a dry cigarette. He looked at Li Qing with his old eyes and asked, "Why do you want to enter the Sky Burial Mining Area?"
"The boy's family is in decline, and his mother is seriously ill and needs a large sum of money for medical treatment." Li Qing was wearing a long gown that had been patched again and again, looking like a down-and-out scholar.
"Bring the letter," the old man said.
"Old Shi, please read it." Li Qing resisted a letter and was grabbed by the old man Shi Zhongtian to check. After a while, he said, "I think you already know the situation of entering the mine. Since you still want to enter the mine, I
I'll give you a spot and come here in three days.'
"Thank you, Mr. Shi. I'll take my leave." Li Qing practiced scholarly etiquette and left the courtyard.
The old man Shi Zhongtian narrowed his eyes and continued to smoke his cigarette.
Three days later.
Li Qing came to this courtyard and saw that there were already many people inside, most of them were middle-aged people, some looked honest and honest, some looked ferocious, and they were all different and different, there were more than twenty people.
When these people saw Li Qing coming in, some looked indifferent, some responded with smiles, and some looked lukewarm.
Li Qing ignored it and chose a corner to stand.
I saw the old man Shi Zhongtian still sitting on the threshold, smoking a dry cigarette and exhaling smoke. His posture had not changed. From a distance, he looked like a sculpture.
He was just an old man, with no trace of his true energy on his body, but Li Qing felt that this old man was not as simple as he seemed.
Of course, maybe he is overthinking.
He came here just to enter the sky burial mining area, obtain spiritual veins, and revive Xuanqi Kongmeng Mountain and Yunji Demon Palace. After completing these, he left here.
Everything here, including this old man Shi Zhongtian, has nothing to do with him.
After a cup of tea, some more people came one after another.
The number reached forty-nine.
The old man Shi Zhongtian put away his cigarette and stood up from the threshold. His old eyes were dull and his voice was old and without any strength: "It's time, come with me!" After saying that, he turned and walked into the room.
Seeing this, everyone followed him.
It turned out that there was a tunnel in the house, which was very secret. Everyone followed Shi Zhongtian and walked step by step into the depths of the tunnel.
Along the way, no one spoke.
After walking for about two hours, there was finally light in front of them. Soon, everyone walked out of the tunnel and came to the ground. They saw that they were surrounded by extremely desolate mountains, with not even a single plant or tree. It was extremely desolate.
"Is this the sky burial mining area?"
"It's so big!"
"Mother, you must hold on at home. Your son will come back with money to save you." Li Qing saw a dark-skinned young man in his twenties clenching his fists and saying with tears.
"Everyone, be quiet." At this time, Shi Zhongtian walked to the front, faced everyone, and said with a gloomy expression, "I will only say it here for the last time. Remember, when you come here, don't talk nonsense, just do things."
, Otherwise, don’t blame me for not reminding you if you die. After one year, if you are still alive, you will be able to get the compensation you deserve. Now I will take you to see the stewards here, and they will arrange what you need to do next.
'After saying that, Shi Zhongtian glanced at everyone, and his eyes paused on Li Qing for a moment.
The Sky Burial Mining Area has existed for endless years, is vast, has countless barren mountains, and is a desolate scene. There is a primitive and ancient flavor flowing through it.
Behind Shi Zhongtian, Li Qing and others climbed over several barren mountains, and a huge mining area appeared in front of them.
The mining area is huge and spectacular, with hundreds of thousands of people working like ants, transporting spiritual stones containing embryos from countless mines.
Towers were built on all sides of the mining area, and monks checked the surroundings.
Shi Zhongtian brought Li Qing and others to an overseer, whispered something, and then saw the overseer hand something to Shi Zhongtian without anyone noticing, and then the old man left.
Seeing this, Li Qing felt more and more that Shi Zhongtian was not simple.
The supervisor is a strong man in his forties with short hair and a Chinese character face. He looks extremely rough. He said: "Now register the information one by one."
"Name?"
Soon, it was Li Qing's turn, and he replied: "Li Yang!"
"age?"
"twenty."
"Reason for becoming a miner?"
The registration information is like this. Li Qing told the reason again according to what he said to Shi Zhongtian.
"Next."
Soon, Li Qing stood on the other side.
After a while, the registration of forty-nine people was completed.
The supervisor came out and said loudly: "Remember, when you come here, do more, talk less, work honestly, and don't have any thoughts, otherwise you will die without knowing it. Do you understand?"
"clear."
Li Qing joined everyone in replying.
"You, take them to where they live and start entering the mine tomorrow." The supervisor asked a guard to take Li Qing and others down.
Whoosh!
At this moment, a figure rushed out of a mine. It turned out to be a monk with the fifth level of Danshui realm.
"If you dare to come to my Tianzhanmen to steal spiritual stones, you will die!"
A sharp shout rang out, and an old man in black robes came out of nowhere and hit the man with a palm. With a bang, his body turned into a ball of blood mist, which rained down like blood.
This scene made Li Qing's newcomers scream in fright, but the miners who were working were extremely calm and made no sound. They were obviously used to it.
"Lord Dragon Elephant?" Li Qing looked at the old man in black robes, his eyes narrowed slightly. A Venerable Dragon Elephant was sitting in charge. This mining area was indeed heavily guarded and valued by various sects.
Moreover, I wonder if there is anyone else besides this Venerable Dragon Elephant?
Faced with this situation, Li Qing did not dare to be careless and had to be careful.
"You will get used to it in the future. Come with me." The guard's face was expressionless, and there was no emotion in his words. In his eyes, it was as if Li Qing and others were already dead.
After walking for three miles, everyone came to the foot of a barren mountain, where cave dwellings were built one after another. They were extremely simple, and they were exactly where the miners lived.
"You, you, and you, room two." The supervisor began to assign.
Soon, Li Qing and the dark-skinned young man were assigned to room nine.
Inside, there were already several miners, all of whom were strong and strong, and one or two of them looked ferocious, which made people scared.
The supervisor seemed to have not seen him and said: "There happen to be three bunks here, you can choose for yourself!" Then he said, "Scar, he
The three of you will be under your charge, and you will take them to work tomorrow morning.’
"Okay, sir." A big man replied in an angry voice.
Li Qing glanced at him. This man was indeed worthy of his name. There was a scar on his face, stretching from the corner of his eye to the corner of his mouth. He looked extremely vicious.
The swarthy young man and the other man were afraid when they saw the scar.
The supervisor left, and Scar returned to the bed and said politely: "You three, come here."
Li Qing and the other three walked over. Except for him, the swarthy young man and the other person all looked frightened and did not dare to take a breath.
Scar was very satisfied with their expressions and said, "Tell me your names."
"Xu Li."
"Pang Yan."
Li Qing also said calmly: "Li Yang."
Scar gave Xu Li and Pang Yan a normal look, then his eyes fell on Li Qing and said: "Hey, from the look of you, are you a scholar?"
"I have been studying for a few years," Li Qing said.
"Hmph, I don't care whether you have read a book or not. When you get here, you are a miner, and so are you two. Remember?" Scar snorted.
"Yes." Xu Li and Pang Yan both nodded hurriedly in fear.
If someone dared to talk to him like this outside, Li Qing would definitely slap him to death, but when he came here, he couldn't reveal his identity, so he nodded.
"Go back to your respective beds." Seeing that the three of them were quite honest, Scar nodded with satisfaction.
Xu Li was as skinny as a stick. He glanced at Li Qing and found a bed in the corner to sleep, curling up together.
The dark young man is Pang Yan
Na said: "Li Yang, let's go over there."
"Yeah." Li Qing glanced at him and nodded.
The room was built in a barren mountain. It was a bit hot and stuffy. The bed was simple, made of dry hard soil. It was only covered with a black bed sheet and was covered with a lot of dust.
Seeing this, Li Qing frowned, but seeing Pang Yan's happy face, he smiled and lay down on the mud bed.
Pang Yan had dark skin, black hair, and tattered clothes. He was lying on the mud bed, with a look of pain on his face and tears in his eyes.
