Chapter 441 – The Misery of the Laborer
Chapter 441 – The Misery of Being a Laborer
It had been raining for three days, not only was it muddy outside where it had gathered into a small stream, it was also bad enough inside the room.
The rotting wooden boards on the roof folded another section, the hole was even bigger, the rainwater scattered all over his face, Xin Zhuo had to cut off a piece of the robe on Hidden Dragon and Against the Sky to plug it, although it was still leaking, but it was much better.
After Xu Wenyuan couple made a scene after that one, there is no more movement around, the opposite eighty-five windows have not been opened again, the nearby neighbors seem to go to work every day, and then get off work to practice martial arts, extraordinarily quiet.
For three days, Xin Zhuo’s trio faced a terrible thing – starvation.
That’s right! Everything here, including food, required merit pay, and it was their preference that they had used up their merit pay cleanly in exchange for martial arts techniques.
Xin Zhuo Zero, Zang Long Zero, Inverse Cang Tian II, Xin Zhuo had to take Inverse Cang Tian’s Merit Salary card to go to the meal hall to exchange for food, the result is that you still need to be able to do it yourself, so you have to drag the bruised and battered Inverse Cang Tian to go there once again, the result is that a steamed bun requires the II Merit Salary, and barely exchanged it for a single one, which the three of them shared, and then got even hungrier.
They suddenly understood why the girl Miaoer laughed and drank that day and scolded the three people for being stupid, this thing is really not expected ah, the martial artist is of course the martial arts as a priority.
Reverse Cangtian two people were injured twice in a row, it was really bad enough, but the good thing is that in the past few days has recovered some.
Early in the morning of the fourth day, the rain is small.
Three people lifted the broken quilt to climb up, face to face, today to work, how to work?
Zang Long moved his body, still slightly painful, angrily said: “This revenge is not a gentleman, the old man does not want to go out now, do not dry out this group of lowly things, do what a great man?”
Reverse Cangtian gave a dry laugh and whispered to Xin Zhuo: “Look, his eyes still reveal a clear stupidity!”
Xin Zhuo laughed and did not say anything.
“Dangang ……”
At this time, three hoes made of gold and jade and three bamboo baskets were thrown in, and a rough voice came from outside: “Against Cangtian, Hidden Dragon, Jiang Yuqing, get to work!”
……
“Get to work” was the daily work of the innate martial artists here.
Location Cangshan!
Walking out of the Wooden Walled City, there was an endless wilderness in front of us, and at the end of the wilderness, there was a continuous rocky mountain, which looked like a piece of metal jade that had been chiseled into many holes at a glance.
Lead Xin Zhuo three people is a coarse face, five big thick man, named Li Da, sub-five realm, practicing a similar light body skill to take the innate power, seemingly obese, footsteps but very light, force than Xu Wenyuan couple is too much stronger.
Xin Zhuo carrying a hoe carrying a bamboo basket, drenched in a fine drizzle, feel a little ridiculous, this is not absenteeism? In Western Qin, this was a treatment only for descended soldiers and enslaved people.
The big brothers who were rejected by the “Heavenly Dao and Immortal Rules” came down to do absenteeism?
The Reverse Cangtian and Hidden Dragon on the side were obviously thinking the same thing, their faces filled with frustration.
“Think of the year when I palmed the stars and trampled on the mountains and rivers, and in a fit of rage, thousands of miles of blood floated, my wrist was heavenly, and I was an absolute emperor, claiming to be the power to suppress an era …….”
Hidden Dragon let out a long sigh, “Now running to this hellish place to dig for minerals!”
“Sage brother Zang Long’s words are reasonable!” Reverse Cangtian tightened the bamboo basket, “How could I not be a hero of the world, and once thought that I was just a little bit short of fighting with the sky, fighting with the earth, and beheading the immortals, alas! I don’t know if those children and grandchildren of the old man miss the old man as a Gai Shi ancestor?”
In fact, the two men were just playing with their mouths, having been beaten twice in the past few days and half starved to death, they had already realized a lot, either to cut themselves off or to give in.
Obviously they had already succumbed, there was always hope in living.
Moreover, the two are deep-minded old yinbi, the world is full of conquest, so life is meaningful.
“Just don’t think about all this nonsense!”
Li Da in front of him smiled blandly, “Which one who came here is not the head of a clan, the king of a country, the head of a sect, or the generation of demons? Xu Wenyuan, who fought with you guys a few days ago, is the Lord of Sacred Word Mountain, with tens of thousands of disciples under his door!
His wife, Hu Niang, is the empress of the White Crane Kingdom, with the power of life and death in her hands, and an outstanding talent for martial arts. How did it turn out? She’s just a pathetic creature to be bullied and used by others.
I am the Master of the Heavenly King Palace, at the age of seventy, I entered the Nine Revolutions of the Earth Immortal, and I have suppressed an era, so I am afraid that this talent is not weaker than yours, right? As a result, when I arrived at this place, I have been languishing for ten years, but I am only a small supervisor.
In this world, people are divided into groups, once everyone’s status and talent are similar, then there is no difference, everything starts from the beginning. You have to recognize yourself, put down your stature, and work in a low profile in order to live. Live, climb up, climb to the top, only then is the true hero of heaven and earth!”
Xin Zhuo three people looked at each other, can not help but respect this Li Da, this talk is not much technical content, but attracted introspection ah.
This guy is a person who can be handed over, the three people think so.
Then, heard Li Da said: “In the future you are under my control, the above has been set amount, you three need daily crystal 30, cold iron 30, yellow white 30, do not do a hundred flogging, did, overflow for the merit salary, every more five for a merit salary, and so on!
Merit salary is a good thing ah, want to cultivation refinement, want to climb up, must use the merit salary in exchange for pills, no pills everything is off, this place can not be absorbed by the true qi.
But let’s say it in advance, I require you to have forty pieces of each type of crystal iron per day to be considered qualified, and only the overflow will be counted as merit salary!”
“Why?” Reverse Cang Tian asked.
This is obviously very unreasonable, why do we need ten more pieces?
Li Da turned back, a hint of cunning smile on his obese face: “The extra ten pieces are for filial piety, otherwise, I’ll screw you guys oh!”
Shit! This grandson is not a good person.
Xin Zhuo three people thought as such.
Xin Zhuo frowned, this haunted place seems to give people a feeling that no one can be trusted, whoever has a big fist, whoever has the power, whoever is honored.
Hopefully, these mines are good to dig.
The front is already close to the mines, facing only a strange overpowering atmosphere.
This “stern atmosphere” from the Kurama Mountain, seems to be these crystals are something extraordinary.
Arrived at the foot of the mountain, already can see the mountain is full of mining holes, mining holes a innate martial artist in and out, outside there are a lot of guards, supervision of people.
Farther away from the foot of the mountain, there was a huge hideous strange big car, pulled by five fierce tigers with horns, around the car stood seven soldiers, wearing shining armor, their aura was overpowering for a few minutes, all of them were above the innate small sect master realm.
This cart, it seemed, was loaded with crystal iron.
“Second Master Sun!”
When he arrived at the mountain, Li Da smiled fawningly at a man sitting cross-legged in meditation who was guarding and supervising him.
The man swept a glance at Xin Zhuo’s trio and waved his hand impatiently: “No fighting, killing, or bullying newcomers in the mine, violators will be killed without amnesty, otherwise feel free to go!”
Li Da then led Xin Zhuo into a mine cave, the light inside was a bit dim, but not dark, and there were quite a few sparkling crystals on the stone walls.
Resumed traveling for more than ten miles, the temperature in the depths was already very high, on the face came a man and two women, the man was a forty-something years old man, two women looked young, but a fat and ugly, a small family.
The three men scanned Xin Zhuo’s trio and saluted in unison: “Greetings to Steward Li!”
Li Da nodded his head and pointed at the pretty woman: “Mu Ji, leave your business to Jiang Yuqing, you only need to count!”
Turning back to Xin Zhuo, he said: “By the way, I forgot to tell you, your share today is eighty pieces of each type of crystal iron, a total of two hundred and forty pieces, not even one piece less!”
Reverse Cangtian and Hidden Dragon looked at each other.
Xin Zhuo lightly laughed, “Please ask Steward Li to give an explanation.”
“Explanation for what? It’s not like I’m going to target you as a self-brother.”
Li Da patted his shoulder: “There is an explanation from above, you have a good talent, your gongfu is very outstanding, and you even crossed the level to defeat the Xu Wenyuan couple, this is a recognition for you, understand?”
Recognition is fucking more digging?
