I can strengthen infinitely

Chapter 124 [0123] The open-pit mine under the stars
In addition to these three men, more than a dozen miners were also imprisoned here.

Basically, everyone is inhumane. If Qin Yuesheng hadn't come to save them, it is estimated that within half a month, these people would have to die of exhaustion underground, and no one would even know that they were dead.

The mine is more than two feet high from the ground. Without corresponding tools, ordinary people can't climb up at all. On weekdays, there are special supervisors outside to supervise. It can be said that these miners basically have no chance to escape successfully. of.

But with the arrival of Qin Yuesheng, the supervisor had already been beaten to death by him, and there were no guards left, so the door to this place was naturally wide open.

One by one, the miners were brought up from the underground of the mine, and these poor people who saw the light of day couldn't help but shed tears with excitement.

Originally, they all thought that they would stay underground forever for the rest of their lives, but they didn't expect to see the sun again one day.

"Thank you Eng."

"Thank you Eng."

Qin Yuesheng waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be so polite, you can't be regarded as completely dangerous at the moment, after all, we will still be in the Meteor Mountain."

"Don't Engong plan to leave?" a miner asked.

Qin Yuesheng smiled: "I have to find Liu Zhizhang before I can leave. Who of you knows where the main vein of the gold mine Liu Zhizhang mined is?"

A group of miners looked at me and I looked at you, and shook their heads blankly.

They are all just ordinary people, knowing that Liu Xian's illegitimate son Liu Zhizhang is secretly leading people to mine gold mines is already the limit.

Just when Qin Yuesheng was planning to let them stay here and go to search nearby by himself, a miner suddenly said: "When I was standing in the mine tunnel to pee, I heard Liu Zhizhang say something about the star before he left. Land, call more people or something like that."

"Land of stars?" Qin Yuesheng frowned.

The reason why Meteor Mountain is called Meteor Mountain is because an extraterrestrial meteor once fell here, and that meteor is called Tianxing by the common people. This is a very valuable clue.

"The guards here have been killed by me, and they should be safe for the time being. You just stay here, and I will take you away when I come back." Qin Yuesheng confessed, and then left the place.

More than a dozen miners got the long-lost freedom, no longer needing to stay in the dark underground to mine non-stop every day. Naturally, they began to vent their suffocation around the hut.

Thinking that they will soon be able to leave Meteorite Mountain and return home, everyone is very excited.

Not long after.

Suddenly there was a rustling sound in the dense forest in the distance, and it was suspected that someone was approaching.

The miners immediately looked in the direction of the sound, hoping that Qin Yuesheng had returned.

But the figure that walked out of the forest was very strange to them. It was not Qin Yuesheng, but a man they had never seen before.

He has only one arm, and his whole body is full of murderous looks, and his clothes are still covered with blood.

Seeing this man's appearance, all the miners immediately sensed that something was wrong, and ran back to the wooden house to take out various tools, and put on a vigilant posture to watch the one-armed man walking slowly.

In an instant, he moved.

At a fairly fast speed, this person rushed directly in front of a miner, grabbed the opponent's cheek with one hand, and immediately squeezed the miner's cheekbones hard.

There are no fancy moves, some just pick the dead spot and kill with one blow.

After a dozen or so breaths, the ground was covered with miners' corpses.

Some had their throats pinched off, and some had a blood hole pierced through their chests.

Some had their heads torn off from their necks, and some had their celestial caps shattered.

There are different ways to die, all of which are fatal in one blow.

Wu Shuai looked around, and suddenly asked to the air, talking to himself: "How can I find him?"

There was no voice to respond to him, so Wu Shuai nodded in satisfaction, and ran straight in a nearby direction.

Coincidentally, when Qin Yuesheng left, he was walking in this direction.

……

The place where the sky star fell was located in the deepest part of Meteor Mountain, which can be said to be the primeval forest in the primeval forest.

According to Qin Yuesheng's knowledge, many out-of-world experts and hermits like to live in this kind of place quietly.

After climbing over several undulating mountains and climbing up a steep and strange peak, Qin Yuesheng stood on the peak and looked into the distance.

I saw clouds and mist shrouded in the mountains, and taller mountains in the distance stood on the horizon.

If placed in other places, this scenery can be regarded as a must.

but……

But in front of the boulder, whose size can be felt even from a long distance, all the spectacular scenery disappeared.

In front of this boulder, the nearby peaks are all shorter by more than one head, which shows how big it is.

Looking from a distance, the boulder looks like a green pearl inlaid in the mountains, which is particularly conspicuous.

"This is Tianxing." Qin Yuesheng said in shock.

The Land of Stars, where a huge amount of gold mines are located.

Qin Yuesheng didn't stop, and immediately jumped down from the side of the mountain. Relying on Lingyan's ability to stay in the air, he stepped firmly on the top of a tree when he landed, and rushed towards Tianxing in the dense forest.

……

There are countless strange people and talents in the world, all of whom have mastered the essence of a certain industry or special skill.

What these people do may not be regarded as the mainstream righteous way, but as long as they are used well, they can also produce unimaginable effects.

Those who have geomantic omens can find dragon veins and identify treasure places.

There are people who do divination and fortune-telling, who can know the future and test the secrets of heaven.

Those who go to the tomb to find the mausoleum can open the imperial tomb and steal secret treasures.

As the governor of Yangzhou Prefecture, Liu Xian has hundreds of followers, all of whom are strange people.

Among them, Fang Xuanling, the 'district master', is the most special. This person is good at finding ore and distinguishing veins. He once discovered many iron ore veins and copper ore veins for Liu Xian, but Liu Xian reported them to the imperial court and asked the imperial court to send people to manage them. Mining, but I dare not intervene in the slightest.

In Datang, iron ore, salt, and gold are all resources that are strictly prohibited from private mining, and it is a crime of beheading if you dare to touch them.

It has been unknown how many years since the star fell in the Meteor Mountain. Its surface is covered with various plants and trees. If we wait another thousand years, no one will be able to see that this thing was once an extraterrestrial star. .

At the foot of Tianxing, an open-pit mine is very conspicuous. Dozens of shirtless and strong men with leather whips are patrolling the mine. Draw hard to show punishment.

In the middle of the mine, there is a tall wooden tower, and there is only one road to the tower. This building can be used by the watchmen to monitor all the hard workers in the mine, and it can also be used for rest.

The wooden tower has two floors. At the entrance of the first floor, there are a large number of guards with knives standing. Judging by the protruding temples, they should be experts.

"Master, the recent harvest is really good, eight hundred catties of gold ore." An old man with a mustache said with a smile, shaking his fan.

In front of his eyes, a young man was lying comfortably on a bamboo chair, and two young girls were fanning him while the other was feeding him grapes.

This person is Liu Xianzhi's illegitimate son, Liu Zhizhang.

It is also the lewd thief that everyone fears in Qingyang City, and everyone can't wait to devour his flesh and blood, "I'm coming."

"Don't always tell me the good news, bring some bad news." Liu Zhizhang said lazily.

"In the past three days, according to your order, young master, we have reduced the sleeping and eating of the hard laborers. The time saved is all spent on mining. Although they have obtained a lot of gold ore, it is exhausting. More than 20 hard laborers died."

"What kind of bad news is this?" Liu Zhizhang didn't care: "This man is worthless. If he dies, he will go to the Meteor Mountain and catch some farmers to make up for it. I also tied my daughter back together."

The old man couldn't help showing a trace of worry: "Master, this Qingyang City is not Yangzhou Prefecture after all. We operate secretly, and it is difficult for adults to reach out to help us. Is it too dangerous to rob the surrounding farmers so frequently?"

"What are you afraid of? We are not alone in Yangzhou Mansion." Liu Zhizhang turned his head and smiled at the man sitting in the corner who was hugging a woman and said, "You say so, Mr. Xiang."

I saw that the man was actually Qingyang City's City Defense Captain, Xiang Quan.

"Hey, Mr. Liu, just arrest people. Recently, people in the yamen said that there are many strangers in Qingyang City. The adults from Chang'an are chasing them. They don't have time to care about these trivial matters of missing people. Just worry about it." Catch it, when the time comes, I'll just push it all over those strangers, and I promise there won't be any major problems."

"You heard it, this is reliable." Liu Zhizhang looked at the old man: "This time, catch more people and come back, don't make it look like a purchase."

There was no other way, the old man had no choice but to respond: "I know, young master."

"Recently, the situation in central Beijing has been a little unstable. The emperor has not been in court for five days. The big and small officials from all over the country have some opinions in their hearts. In addition, there have been successive droughts and locust plagues in central Sichuan, and there is a serious shortage of food. , The imperial court didn’t allocate much food, so there must be some changes, and you should hurry up and mine it for me. In this kind of world, people have to have money in their hands to be confident.”

The old man nodded again and again: "I understand."

There were nine people in the house.

In addition to Liu Zhizhang, the old man, Xiang Quan and the three women, there were also three silent guys who hadn't made a sound from the beginning to the end.

One of them was a youth in a blue robe.

The remaining two are big men in well-dressed clothes. These two look ordinary, but in fact they are extraordinary. They are the personal guards specially assigned by Liu Xian to Liu Zhizhang.

Two warriors of the first level of internal strength.

This configuration is not without luxury.

Liu Zhizhang asked the middle-aged man who was reading a book: "Mr. Fang, have you arranged everything over there? We can't delay the good time."

The young man raised his head: "One hundred catties of black powder has been distributed and can be used at any time."
