Shading the sky: About my reincarnation as the emperor's son

Chapter 10 Mining Area
There are seven forbidden areas of life in the Eastern Wilderness. The ancient forbidden areas in the southern region and the ancient mines in the northern region are all among them.

When it comes to mystery, there is no doubt that Taichu can be ranked at the top.

It was originally a mine, but it has become a lifeless place. The Holy Lords of all ages have gone there and never returned.It is named after the "Taichu" of the five innate gods, which means it existed before the world was opened. It is difficult to imagine how long ago it was.

There is a legend that this ancient mine was not excavated by humans at all. It existed long before the birth of humankind.

Some people say that it was dug out by immortals. This legend is not widely accepted because it is difficult to tell whether there are immortals.

No matter how you say it, this place is a forbidden place. No matter how talented you are, you will never come back, and you don’t know how many important figures you have killed.

The most recent time, 700 years ago, an emperor from Zhongzhou broke into the Taichu ancient mine and disappeared without even making waves.

Outside the Taichu Ancient Mine, a large area is almost completely divided by major holy places, and it is the most productive mining area.

The Emperor of Heaven had seriously consulted with several ancestor kings, but even the oldest Ulu couldn't explain it clearly. He only knew that the ancient mine in the early days was already a forbidden place in the ancient times, and only the ancient emperors could not enter it!

The area where the Taichu Ancient Mine is located is a completely barren land with no grass growing on it.On the reddish-brown land outside the ancient mine, there stands a lonely city. Its name is simply Source City.

It is located within the source mining area and was built by monks. There are no mortals here, only disciples of major forces and people who transport source stones.

Of course, it is [-] miles away from the Taichu Ancient Mine, otherwise no one would dare to come.Source City is not very big, it is just a small city, completely made of red boulders.Most of the rice and grain needed by major mining areas must be purchased here, which is a transit hub.

The Prince of Heaven and the Saint of Yaochi came to this city after taking a short rest. The Son of Yaoguang and Yao Xi had been waiting here for a long time.The four of them arrived at the edge of the Taichu ancient mine together with some young disciples.

Of course, the so-called fringe area is at least thousands of miles away from the real Taichu Ancient Mine, and no one dares to take risks.

There is a busy scene in the mine. There is a desert near the ancient Taichu mine, and the climate is different from that in the southern region.The sun was shining brightly at noon, and the hot people were sweating profusely.It was midnight, but it was freezing cold again.It is really a test for the physical strength of mortals.

The low stone houses are arranged crookedly, and at first glance they look like the dwellings of mining mortals. Living in such houses is cold in winter and hot in summer, and 1 people feel uncomfortable.Pieces of mining areas are lifeless, with no living things except humans.

The mining workers had expressionless faces and worked in a dull manner. They walked in and out of the mines shirtless. Each one of them had a gray and gray face and could not see the original appearance. They transported out a square of ashlar.

Those huge rocks can often weigh thousands of kilograms. With only flesh and blood and simple tools, one can imagine the hardships involved.If you dare to be lazy, the supervisor's whip will not be spared.When the beef tendon is twisted, it becomes a knot at the tip of the whip, but when the whip is removed, it becomes a strip of meat!After being beaten, you have to get up and work quickly. Miners sign a contract of sale, and before the expiration of the term, life and death are determined by fate. If you die, you will be kicked by the rocks in the ditch and covered with it. If you wrap it with a straw mat, it will be considered a conscience. .

Day after day, year after year, monotonous work, repeated countless times, until it becomes like a walking zombie.There are very few people who are able to fulfill the ten years of their life contract and leave with gold coins. In addition to being tortured to death in heavy labor, there are also all kinds of weird and inexplicable things in the mines.Mortals don't understand the reason and generally call it evil.Basically, monks will not dig out the sources themselves, precisely because of these unexpected risks.Sometimes things from ancient times and even living creatures are unearthed in the source mines, many of which are extremely powerful.

Suddenly, there was a cry of surprise from the front, and the people in the mine ran out in despair. "There was something bad going on in the mine, and everyone who entered died. The old god Yaoguang turned into pus and blood without even saying a word!"

There was an evil aura in the adjacent mine, as if some creature was about to rush out.The mortals outside the well fell down in various shapes, and there were dead bodies everywhere.In that mine, wisps of gray mist overflowed, and one could feel the oppression even from a distance. "The aura of the ancient clan..." The Emperor frowned secretly.

It seemed that this was not the first time that Yaoguang's disciples had seen this situation, and they quickly sent mortals to go down the well to find out.In the end, it was a false alarm. It was not a living creature, but a broken claw in the source. It looked like a human hand, but was covered with fine blue scales.What hurt people just now was the evil spirit sealed in it. The old monk who was shaking light was beaten to death, and no bones were left.

The storm has subsided, but construction is still going on. The Yaochi grand meeting is coming soon, and the mines are working overtime in two shifts and cannot be shut down. "You guys, keep digging this vein, hurry up!" Yaoguang's disciples yelled. Although the miners' calves were spinning, they could only continue to work.As for the piece of divine source and the claws in it, they were carefully preserved and prepared to be transported away for study by the big shots in the Holy Land.I heard that the Taichu Ancient Mine has not been peaceful this year. In the past few years, evil things did not necessarily happen once, but this year there have been incidents every three to five.

"They come all the way here to mine, for what purpose?" The Emperor sighed.

"Although it is very hard and dangerous for them here, if they are still alive after ten years, they can return to their hometown with gold coins and have enough food and clothing for the rest of their lives." The face of the Saint of Yaochi was covered with fairy mist, and her expression could not be seen.

"How many people can go back after going through this?"

"No one in a thousand miles." Yaoguang Holy Son said.

"Is this also the case in Yaochi's mine?"

"Little fool, do you remember how many sources you have used?" Yao Xi smiled.

The Emperor was stunned. The amount of energy consumed by a monk in the two secret realms of Wheel Sea and Dao Palace was directly proportional to the strength of his body and bloodline. The amount of energy he used to reach the Four Pole was not a small number.

"Junior brother, not everyone has the same blessings as you. The life of a mortal is difficult and precarious. Therefore, you risk your life for wealth and do not care about yourself. If you feel guilty in your heart, practice to the extreme and do more good deeds. "It's rare for the Saint of Yaochi to say so many words.

The Emperor was silent for a long time. Beidou is an extremely cruel world, and there is no modern society with prosperous rule of law on the other side of the starry sky.Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimps.When the Supreme Being in the restricted area of ​​life stirs up dark turmoil, all the heavens become a hunting ground.

"What qualifications do I have to sympathize with others?" The Emperor laughed at himself.If you don't do anything, you will be killed by the man with the golden holy blood and the monkey, and the people of Zishan will die at the hands of Princess Shencan and Dou Victor Buddha.Even in the heart of the Immortal Emperor, he is a discardable son. His younger brother is the real genius, with a physique comparable to the innate holy body of Taoism, nourished by five eyes of creation, and protected by the Immortal Heavenly Sword.

But he was a cheerful person, and his mood soon improved. His father already gave him a lot of things, so why bother?He never believed in a predetermined destiny and that things depended on man-made efforts.
