Things in Qingshu Village tend to become more and more troubled. When Yang Junshan entered the mine the next day, there were still few miners willing to hand over the mining money. Although Yang Junshan was no longer alone, there were still many miners in the mine. There are many mine tunnels, and only a few people are scattered among them. The mine tunnel Yang Junshan found was originally abandoned, and few people were willing to go there, so there was no chance of being discovered.
Originally, Yang Junshan went to the mine every two days, but he told Han Xiusheng that there were few people in the mine anyway, and he was about to take the opportunity to extract more concentrate, so Han Xiusheng joined him.
It took more than half a day to completely refine the vitality contained in the Wutu stone. The moment the egg-sized stone ball lost its vitality, it turned into a ball of Xisha and fell from the fingers. Yang Junshan had already It can be noticed that the spiritual power condensed in the bone marrow spiritual orifice has increased by one point. At this rate, Yang Junshan estimates that it will only take ten days and a half for him to fully reach the peak of the third level and begin to solidify the spiritual orifice. The roots of immortality have been laid.
In the remaining time, Yang Junshan dug deep into the mine tunnel again and found a small stone cave again. This time, the Wutu stone ball inside was smaller than the previous one.
The strike in Qingshu Village will obviously not last that long. Once the miners resume work, Yang Junshan¡¯s days of digging and practicing in the mine tunnels will be gone.
When I returned to town with Han Xiusheng after work today, I overheard Han Xiusheng talking about what was happening in Qingshu Village.
"Today Hu Siping went to Chu Chuang's home. He didn't want to be ambushed. If he hadn't surrendered at the opportunity, I'm afraid the village chief of Qingshu Village would have to be replaced."
Yang Junshan was startled and said: "Why, is it possible that Chu Chuang can still win over a martial arts monk like Hu Siping?"
Han Xiusheng looked slightly worried and said: "It's not Chu Chuang, it's the other two martial arts monks in Qingshu Village. They were sure that Hu Siping would use his cultivation to cause trouble for Chu Chuang. Chuang's house was waiting for him, and Hu Siping was also reckless and ran right in. Although he saw the opportunity and immediately agreed to lower the mining price of three stone coins and escaped unscathed, his reputation in Qingshu Village was completely ruined. It stinks.¡±
Yang Junshan said in surprise: "How could Chu Chuang be able to make the martial arts monks in this village support him, a mortal monk?"
Han Xiusheng sighed and talked to Yang Junshan about the reason, but it turned out that the mine owner of Qingshu Village was concurrently held by Hu Siping, the village chief, and the miners were also villagers of the village, but other than the managers and bosses, They are all from other villages. This is also a rule set by Shaking Tian Sect. It was originally intended to monitor and restrict each other and avoid self-stealing.
But the bad thing is that Hu Siping is too greedy. In order to line his own pockets, this guy did not hesitate to collude with the various bosses and managers in the mine. Although he did not dare to touch the things he handed over, the amount of money collected from the mine dug by the villagers was They have the final say.
According to what Han Xiusheng said, only 80% of the concentrate turned over to the Shaotian Sect and other forces at all levels in the mines, while Hu Siping and the managers at all levels secretly increased the amount to 90%. The extra amount was naturally divided among them; Tianzong's set mining fee of seven stone coins was also increased to ten without authorization. The extra money was the welfare of each of them.
Hu Siping used this method to pull all the managers from other villages around him to bully them. But in this way, Hu Siping had made enough for himself, but the miners and other martial arts monks in the village were In the eyes of the Qingshu villagers, Hu Siping's typical elbow turned outward at this time, and he would rather distribute the benefits to those from other villages than take care of the interests of his own villagers.
In particular, the other two martial arts monks in Qingshu Village complained about this, because according to the rules of Shaking Sky Sect, the mine owner can only be Muramasa. Hu Siping had no choice but to treat these two warriors who might threaten his status. The Realm monks were already on very tight guard, and it was impossible for the two Martial Realm monks to work as miners like ordinary villagers, so the two of them had been unable to put their hands into the clay mine.
Therefore, during this miners' strike in Qingshu Village, the two martial arts monks from Qingshu Village gave Chu Chuang the greatest support.
"So that means the miners in Tianqingshu Village will resume work?"
Han Xiusheng said with a hint of worry: "I hope, if we don't resume work, sooner or later things will happen in the town and county. By then, not only Hu Siping, but also people like us will be in trouble."
Yang Junshan¡¯s eyes flickered, and he didn¡¯t know what he was thinking about.
However, the miners in Qingshu Village still did not resume work on the third day. Naturally, Yang Junshan would not miss this opportunity. This time he dug out two adjacent small caves at the bottom of the mine tunnel and obtained two small caves. Unfortunately, Yang Junshan still had no way to take out the extra stone balls, so he could only hide them in the mine first.
It would be great if there was a storage bag!
Nowadays, Yang Junshan has more and more treasures on his body. Whether it is the carefully made waist bag or backpack, it has gradually become insufficient. What¡¯s more, carrying so many things on his body has really affected Yang Junshan. action.
Han Xiusheng's face became worse and worse in the past two days. After the miners in Qingshu Village successfully forced Hu Siping to lower the mining fee by three stone coins, Chu Chuang and others made another request on the third day. Reduce the share of concentrate turned in each time by half, from 90% to 85%, otherwise you will still not be able to work.
The miners in Qingshu Village seemed to be targeting Hu Siping. In fact, the blood extracted from the miners not only fell into the hands of Hu Siping, but also included more than a dozen managers and leaders at the mine. Why did Han Xiusheng ask Yang Tianggang to get this job for him? Wasn't it because there was oil and water to be harvested? Now the miners' behavior was undoubtedly robbing them of the oil and water that belonged to them, so Han Xiusheng was naturally angry.
On the fourth day, Yang Junshan and Han Xiusheng had just arrived at the mine in Qingshu Village. Today, the villagers still did not go to work. Yang Junshan was about to go down to the mine when suddenly he hurried to the mine and shouted: "No. It¡¯s bad, there¡¯s going to be a fight, there¡¯s going to be a fight outside the village!¡±
Han Xiusheng¡¯s expression changed and he said, ¡°Who is going to fight with whom? Let¡¯s make it clear!¡±
The leader said: "Who else could it be? The people from Qingshu Village stopped the people we found outside the village. They are now confronting each other and are about to start a fight!"
Han Xiusheng looked panicked and said: "Where are Hu Cunzheng and the other warrior-level monks? Where have they gone? No, this matter is going to cause a big fuss. Leave, all go. Go outside the village to stop them. We must not let them fight. , otherwise once the town and county know what¡¯s going on here, let¡¯s not even think about making money, our jobs may be ruined!¡±
After hearing what Han Xiusheng said, all the stewards and foremen in the mine panicked, and followed Han Xiusheng swarm out of the village. Only one steward and one foreman were left in the mine to watch the scene.
Seeing this great opportunity, Yang Junshan hurriedly rushed towards the Wutu Mine Road with all his strength. This time, he didn't care about saving energy, crushing the ore, hoeing, etc., thinking about Han Xiusheng It took the others a short time to rush to the outside of the village to stop the dispute, calm the situation, and return to the mine. When they arrived at the bottom of the mine, they used all their strength to smash the rock veins with their hoe.
When his spiritual power was exhausted, he directly held a Fayun Pill in his mouth, not even caring about the erysipelas remaining in his body after refining the elixir; when the mining hoe was smashed, he directly replaced it with a new one; when his physical strength was exhausted, he only had time to drink it. Take a sip of water slowly, then continue to hold on.
A small stone cave was dug out again, and the second Wutu stone ball rolled out. After the third, fourth, and fifth Wutu stone balls were dug out, Yang Junshan finally exhausted his last bit of energy. A little spiritual power and a final hoe.
Within an hour, under Yang Junshan's frantic digging, the entire mine tunnel advanced almost half a foot. Five earth stone caves were dug out before and after, including the two remaining from yesterday. At this time, Yang Junshan There are seven Wu earth stone balls in his hand.
He squatted on the ground and drank all the water in the kettle. Then he didn't dare to stay in the mine at all. He quickly stood up and walked quickly outside the mine, while trying his best to calm down the breath all over his body. , making yourself look the same as usual.
When I just came out of the mine, I happened to see the leader who was left behind standing boredly on the high platform at the exit of the mine. I saw Yang Junshan come out of the mine empty-handed and said with a smile: "Hey, this is not Manager Han's nephew." Well, why did it come out so quickly? Didn¡¯t you do any mining today?¡±
In the past two days, because of Manager Han, Yang Junshan became familiar with the most common super manager and boss in the mine, and knew that the person in front of him was named Cui.
Yang Junshan forced a smile and said, "Uncle Cui, hasn't my uncle come back yet?"
Boss Cui was obviously worried about things outside the village. After all, it was related to his family's livelihood. If someone had not been required to stay at the mine, he would have rushed to the outside of the village: "Not yet, I don't know what is going on outside the village. I hope not to It¡¯s really a fight.¡±
Yang Junshan said: "Uncle Cui, I was worried that something would happen to my uncle. I didn't want to dig in the mine, so I came out. Look, there is nothing in the backpack, so I didn't go to the formation road. I had to hurry to the village. Go see my uncle outside!"
The array is a set of simple surveillance arrays set up by the mine to prevent anyone from hiding their secrets. After the miners come out of the mine, they must walk out of the array and hand over the ore for settlement.
Cui Bangtou smiled and scolded: "What kind of mine can you mine after only one hour? You, the children of big families, are just hypocritical. You insist on doing some training. If you ask me, just use jade coins to buy a bunch of concentrate from the mine and go back to refine it yourself." It¡¯s done, it¡¯s done, it¡¯s done.?Come out quickly. It costs money to activate this formation. Is it possible that I have to activate it just for you? "
"Thank you, Uncle Cui!"
Yang Junshan came out directly from the entrance where the miners went to work, said hello to another steward who stayed behind, and ran towards the outside of Qingshu Village.
