Wendao Mountain is inaccessible and the climate is extremely harsh. As a slave, the living environment here is not even close to normal. The officers and soldiers deprived the slaves of most of their daily necessities. To them, the lives of slaves are compared to ants. It's better, even if they die, there will be a large number of slaves from the rear to supply them. In Yunchuan, wherever slaves are needed, there will be a death budget. As long as it does not exceed this standard, no one will care about the death of slaves.
Although the harsh winter is coming to an end, it is still cold in the mountains. Lu Yu and the others have lived in thatched huts since they came to Wendao Mountain. At night, the mountain wind howls and the huts are ventilated. They cannot withstand the severe cold at all, and the ones they build are also very thin. The sheets and food were porridge made from coarse grains and naked seeds. It was as thin as water. Several slaves had died in less than a month. After the slaves died, their companions would strip off their clothes and throw them to the back of the mountain. , if you want to survive, you must lose some humanity. This is the way for slaves to survive.
But fortunately, there is still a chance to survive here. Scar Si was the leader of the sergeants responsible for supervising the construction of the tomb. When he first arrived at Wendao Mountain, Scar Si gathered all the slaves together and announced an iron rule that could not be broken. If any slave dug up any kind of stone during the construction of the mausoleum, he must hand it over, otherwise he would be executed immediately if discovered. After the announcement, Scar Si revealed a stone from his arms. It was a round stone the size of a palm. It was fiery red, crystal clear, and very eye-catching.
Of course, in order to stimulate everyone to turn in such stones, Scar Four has also set up a reward system. Depending on the number and quality of the stones turned in, you can get various living materials, such as quilts, velvet quilts, roast ducks and even women. This is undoubtedly a huge temptation for the slaves, especially when some lucky ones taste the sweetness, and it sets off a frenzy among the slaves.
"That bastard Scar Si is really despicable. He took the Yuanyang Stone so cheaply." Yun Kongchou couldn't help but watch the slaves around him working hard, hoping to find a stone that could improve their lives and never tired of it. said angrily.
"Yuan Yang Stone? Xiao Yunzi, are you saying this stone is Yuanyang Stone?" Lu Yu asked in surprise.
He was once a servant of the palace, and he had a lot of knowledge and knowledge. Once he entered the secret realm, he could absorb the vitality of heaven and earth for practice. If he only absorbed the vitality of heaven and earth by himself, after absorbing, recycling, and tempering, it would be obviously efficient in practicing. It takes a lot longer, and the heaven and earth are beautiful. In some mountains and swamps, over time, a kind of mineral vein will be produced. This mineral vein is nourished and moistened by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth all year round, thus forming Yuanyang stone. Yuanyang stone contains pure The vitality of heaven and earth can be directly absorbed for practice, so the Yuanyang Stone is a necessary item for monks in the secret realm.
"I asked you, can you stop calling me that?" Yun Kongchou couldn't stand still, swayed a bit, and gave Lu Yu a helpless look. During this period of time with Lu Yu, the relationship between the two became closer and closer. Yun Kongchou could see that Lu Yu had a sad past, but he hid it with a coat of perseverance and optimism. Not only that, Lu Yu also always teased himself from time to time. , maybe he wants me to forget some painful things. Every time I think about it, Yun Kongchou always feels warm in his heart.
Lu Yu smiled and said nothing. Seeing that he didn't care about his protest at all, Yun Kongchou could only helplessly shake his head and said angrily: "Isn't that right? Do you know? Yuanyang Stone can be sold by mortals outside, but It's more expensive than the same weight of gold. That bastard Scar Si actually exchanged some quilts for meat.
"Pop" There was a loud noise, and Lu Yu felt a pain on his back, like a menstrual fire. On the other hand, Yun Kongchou fell to the ground at this time, his whole body huddled up, and the pain on his face was clearly evident. Big beads of sweat rolled down his face, and the single shirt on his back was torn, leaving a shocking bloodstain.
"Two bastards dare to chat here instead of working hard. Are you tired of life?" Scar snorted coldly with a long whip in each hand, with a playful look in his eyes, looking at him as if he was watching a dog. Lu Yu and Yun Kongchou.
When Lu Yu saw this, he felt resentful in his heart. He rushed to Yun Kongchou and asked eagerly: "Xiao Yunzi, how are you?"
Yun Kongchou lay on the ground, speechless for a long time. Seeing that his face was pale and unable to speak, Lu Yu couldn't help but feel a sinking heart. If his magical power was still there, he would have already made Scar splash with blood at this time, so how could he let him slaughter him.
"Pa" Another sound echoed in Lu Yu's ears, and the long whip passed in front of Lu Yu's eyes. Flesh and blood spattered, stinging Lu Yu's heart.
"Damn it, you dare to pretend to be dead." Another whip, Scar Si was like beating an animal, without the slightest mercy, Lu Yu's heart trembled, suddenly thinking of Yin Xue, thinking of Zi Yuegui, suddenly an unknown feeling The fire suddenly broke out and was about to break out.
At this moment, Yun Kongchou suddenly shouted loudly, like a clear sky splitting: ??Lu Yu, just stand still and don¡¯t move. "
Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, but then he heard Scar Si sneer and said: "Oh, I didn't expect that he is still a stubborn master. He is young and has quite a lot of style. How dare a dog-like thing dare to put on airs in front of me? Humph, today I Just teach you how to be a dog.¡±
"You, you, and you, come here." After saying this, Scar pointed at several slaves around him and ordered them to come over.
"Hit me, beat me to death. If you don't have the strength in your hands, hum" At this point, Scar paused, and a sinister look suddenly came out, and he glanced around. He held a long whip in his hand and said coldly: "I'll give him a big meal."
Several slaves looked at each other without struggling at all. Their fists were knocked down mercilessly, like a hammer hitting an anvil, pouring all their strength into it. It was as if they would be the next ones to suffer the pain of flesh and blood if they spared any effort. , these slaves living in this kind of environment have already lost their most basic humanity, and all they want to think about is how to survive. At this time, after listening to Scar Si's order, they even beat Yun Kongchou to death desperately, Yun Kongchou shrank into a ball and rolled to the ground, letting the slaves punch and kick him. The blood had already stained his whole body. The old wounds on his body had cracked and his skin and flesh were split open. It was horrible to see.
Seeing this tragic situation, Lu Yu clenched his hands into fists and dug his nails deeply into his flesh. His face was pale and his whole body was trembling. A ferocious aura in his eyes became stronger and stronger. He looked at Scar Si coldly, shrugged his shoulders, and wanted to take action.
At this moment, Yun Kongchou, who was surrounded and beaten by everyone, suddenly stretched out a hand and grabbed Lu Yu's ankle, and refused to let go. Lu Yu looked down and couldn't help but feel sad. He knew that even if he took action, it would only cost his own life. Even at this moment, Yun Kongchou was still thinking of himself and did not want to let himself take risks for him. Thinking of this, Lu Yu He even blamed himself and felt sad and angry, as if he had been poured cold water on him, and said in a harsh voice: "Master Jun, he is not sensible. I hope you, Master Jun, will not argue with him. I am here to help him."
After saying this, he took out a long whip-shaped object from his arms, and it turned out to be the long tongue obtained by killing the earth-devouring lizard in Xuanyuan Hill. Scar Si's eyes lit up. This thing is a good thing. Although the Yuanyang Stone is more expensive than gold, it is for the superiors. He is just a supervisor. This kind of benefit is not something he can get, but this kind of In the bitter cold land, there was no oil or water to be found, but the long tongue of the earth-devouring lizard was enough to keep him happy for a while in Piaoxiang Residence in Liuyuan.
Thinking of this, Scar's face softened and he looked at Lu Yu. Suddenly greed flashed in his eyes and he thought to himself: I heard that this boy used to be Princess Brigitte's favorite. It seems that he has a lot of good things.
When Scar saw Cai Cai, he took up Lu Yu's idea. However, Lu Yu was once Princess Brigitte's valet, and he heard that he even saved Princess Brigitte's life. There were so many people here, and if something happened in the future, his life would be at risk. , so he remained calm at the moment, took the long tongue in one hand and said slowly: "Stop it all."
The crowd stopped standing aside, and saw the scar four stepped forward, saying: "The dog is mixed, counting your luck, make a good dog in the future, and settle down."
After saying that, he turned around and walked through the crowd, gradually drifting away. Lu Yu hurriedly stepped forward, helped Yun Kongchou up, and asked with an anxious look: "Xiao Yunzi, are you okay?"
Yun Kongchou was carried on Lu Yu's shoulder, his face was as pale as a white paper, blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and he suddenly smiled: "Lu Yu, I'm fine, I'm almost gone, it won't be long"
After saying this, a fierce light flashed in Yun Kongchou's eyes, like falling into a deep spring, causing people to shiver!
