Volume 1 Chapter 73 The Dilemma
"If you don't have a spirit stone, you dare to come to our Xianhong Building to eat, this meal is all Linggu, can you poor people afford to eat?!Dare to eat and drink here for nothing, break your dog's legs, and let Xianwei arrest you to go to the mine to be a mining slave!"
Several strong shopkeepers shouted loudly, beat the two down-and-out warriors with sticks, and drove them out of the restaurant, attracting the sideways of pedestrians on the street.
"I don't know where the hillbilly came from, I don't even understand the rules, Xianhonglou, the premier fairy building in Donglai Immortal Village, dares to enter!"
A passing warrior sneered and said something disdainfully, eliciting a burst of laughter from onlookers.
The two down-and-out warriors had blue noses and swollen faces, and their faces were red with shame, and one of the younger warriors was very angry and wanted to argue a few words, but was hurriedly stopped by another companion.
At this time, a small group of Xiancun guards were patrolling by, and the shopkeeper of Xianhonglou hurriedly called for them to go over and arrest people.
"Dare to eat and drink in Xiancun for nothing, pick quarrels and provoke trouble, and live impatiently!"
"Let's go, go to the mine and stay honest!"
Those immortal guards asked the reason, and they were immediately furious, and rushed up to detain these two down-and-out warriors.
The two warriors' faces were as pale as dirt, and they didn't dare to resist the immortal's confinement, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to move.
Ye Mo was standing not far away, and when he saw this scene, his face couldn't help but be ugly.
These two down-and-out warriors were "captive slaves" who had just disembarked from a pirate ship, and they could be seen only by their shabby clothes.
"Ye Xianshi, help, the villain doesn't know the rules here, thinking that he can eat with gold! Ye Xianshi begged the immortal guard, let the villain go, and the villain didn't dare anymore. ”
One of the down-and-out warriors saw Ye Mo and hurriedly struggled and shouted.
"Eat the overlord meal, and dare to quibble!"
One of the immortal guards snorted coldly and kicked out, kicking the warrior to a staggering ground and falling to the ground.
Several other immortal guards stopped, looking at Ye Mo and the others with unkind eyes.
Ye Mo's heart froze, and the gazes of several immortal guards made him feel a lot of pressure. Each of these immortal guards has a stronger momentum than him.
"What do you do? What do these warriors have to do with you, are they your subordinates?"
The leader of this team of immortal guards asked coldly.
"In Xia Yemo, the new owner of the ship. These warriors were all warriors who came from the same boat, not subordinates. I don't know, what kind of punishment they will receive for their crimes?"
Ye Mo's heart sank, and he frowned and said.
Xianwei is the most powerful cultivator in the Immortal Village, who dares to offend easily. He's just coming here now, and he hasn't established himself yet, and he doesn't want to get into trouble.
"Oh! It turns out that you brought these warriors to Donglai Immortal Village! They ate the overlord meal in Xianhonglou, and according to the previous practice, they were to be hung up at the gate of the village and whipped in public, and then killed to make an example!
Recently, however, there is a new rule in Xiancun, as long as it is not a serious crime of murder, the warriors who pick quarrels and provoke trouble in the village can leave their lives and be sent to the mine to work as mining slaves! Why, do you want to pay spirit stones for them for them? In that case, you can let them go. ”
The captain of the immortal guard looked at Ye Mo and saw that Ye Mo was an immortal cultivator, so he was a little polite.
"They are not my subordinates, they make mistakes, and they naturally have to bear the consequences. Ladies and gentlemen, lightweight. ”
Ye Mo endured his breath.
He has no spirit stone now, where can he afford it. Even if he had spirit stones, he wouldn't pay for the food of two warriors he didn't know for no reason.
"It turns out that you have nothing to do with them. Okay, take people away!"
The captain of the Immortal Guard smiled coldly, waved his hand and led the team, escorting the two frustrated warriors away.
Looking at the back of a team of immortal guards leaving, Ye Mo held back a wave of anger in his heart.
"These immortal guards are too much, they ate a meal in vain, such a trivial matter, and sent the two warriors to the mine as mine slaves. How are we going to stay in this fairy village?"
Wang Hu scolded in a low voice.
Ye Mo, Mo Ling, Wang Hu and the others left the immortal village and hurriedly returned to the pirate ship moored at the dock.
Deputy Captain Chang learned that Ye Mo was back, and hurriedly came out to greet him.
"Chang Fei, I'm back so early. ”
Ye Mo glanced at the permanent deputy shipowner lightly.
"Immortal Master, what's the situation in the village? ”
Chang Fei smiled awkwardly.
He had already returned, and he had not stayed in the Immortal Village for long. He has not come to East Lailing Island once or twice, and he has long been familiar with the situation here.
"It's weird to be good. You already knew about the situation in this immortal village, so you didn't stay in the immortal village for long, right?
Ye Mo said.
"Only by experiencing this will it be unforgettable! The villain just talks, and everyone can't listen to it!"
Chang Fei said with a wry smile.
The martial artist who came from the Kyushu Continent, this kind of humiliating feeling of low status and shouting in Donglai Immortal Village, he had already experienced it, how could he not know the way.
"That's it, you go and warn all the warriors on the ship that you must not pick quarrels and provoke trouble in the fairy village. The Zou City Lord of Donglaicheng Village is now thinking of a way to get a mining slave. There are already people who have been escorted to the mine as slaves by Xianwei because they ate the overlord meal in Xianhong Building. Let them be careful, otherwise, I don't know how many people in the road will be inexplicably reduced to slavery. ”
"Yes, Immortal Master, there is not much food on the ship."
"I can't count on the food in the food fairy village, so I find a way to catch some sea fish. I remember that there were some small boats on the ship, and the warriors were arranged to hunt sea fish near Ling Island, and they always had to find a way to fill the stomachs of the hundreds of people on this boat. Fishing isn't forbidden around this Spirit Island, right?"
"There is no fishing around Lingdao, so I'll arrange it. ”
After receiving the order, the permanent deputy owner left in a hurry.
Ye Mo sat alone in the cabin for a while, feeling heavy. Not to mention an ordinary martial artist, even if he is an immortal cultivator, it is not easy to gain a foothold in this Donglai Immortal Village.
A few hours later, Gao Yan, Lin Fei and others also returned to the sea boat.
Ye Mo summoned Gao Yan, Lin Fei and other accomplices on the island.
"This must be the order of the Zou City Lord. ”
Gao gradually looked angry.
"Brother Ye doesn't sell the slaves on the ship, so he finds a way to use the rules of the Immortal Village to let the Immortal Guard arrest those warriors who have committed trivial matters. This Donglai Immortal Village is similar to all countries in the Kyushu Mainland, they are all forcibly plundered, and the weak eat the strong!"
"It's not easy to gain a foothold in this immortal village, let's take it step by step. We have our own sea boats, and the cabins are cramped, but they can accommodate hundreds of people. The top priority is food. The food on the ship could not be eaten for ten days, and once the food was exhausted, the hundreds of warriors on the ship would definitely make trouble. ”
Lin Fei's face was gloomy and he said lightly. He doesn't usually talk much, but he is a thoughtful person.
"I've asked the deputy owner to arrange for some of the people to go to sea to fish, and to reduce the amount of food for each person, which can barely alleviate the urgent need to run out of food! The real trouble is how we can gain a foothold in this Donglai Xian Village!
Dozens of us, plus hundreds of 'captives' and 'pirates' on the ship, all have to find work in this immortal village and find ways to earn spirit stones. ”
Ye Mo thought about it and said calmly.
Lin Fei shook his head and said, "I have been asking around in the Immortal Village before, and it is not easy for us martial artists to find suitable jobs in Donglai Immortal Village. The jobs in the village suitable for martial artists, such as shopkeepers and handymen, have long been occupied by the relatives of those immortals.
There are only two kinds of tiring and heavy work outside the village that are suitable for martial artists, one is mining, and the other is cutting spiritual wood. However, the people who did this work were slaves.
The things carried by the sea ships on the docks outside are actually their own warriors on each ship, and they are generally not hired. The income is only food and gold and silver.
The most important thing is that no matter what work a warrior does, he can only get gold and silver as a reward, and there is no way to get spirit stones at all. Only immortal cultivators can earn spirit stones, alchemy, refining weapons, domesticating spirit beasts, planting spirit valleys, etc., there are many ways to earn spirit stones. ”
"Warriors can only get gold and silver when they work?"
"In this way, we have no chance of getting the Yuan Qi Pill at all. ”
When everyone heard this, their faces were hard to look at. Most of them, except for Ye Mo, were martial artists.
"In this way, we martial artists have no chance of getting ahead in the Immortal Village!"
Gao gradually patted the table with a blue face and said angrily.
"Let's observe for a few more days! In the past few days, everyone has been walking around more and inquiring about the details of the situation in the fairy village. No matter what, you have to think of a way to earn spirit stones. ”
Ye Mo was helpless, stood up, and said to everyone.
Although Ye Mo was an immortal cultivator, he was only one person, and he couldn't help the dozens of accomplices on this ship who had been suffering on the island, let alone the hundreds of martial artists on this ship.
Everyone looked at each other, and now it was all the same.
It's getting dark.
On the pirate ship, most of the warriors returned to the dock one after another.
The warriors looked depressed, and there was no surprise or excitement when they first arrived at Donglai Immortal Village. After a lot of hardships to cross the sea, when I came to this spirit island, I thought that the fairy fate was in front of me, but I found that it was difficult to even survive in the fairy village.
I can't even live in the Xiancun Inn, so I can only go back to the crowded sea boat and stay aggrieved. Hundreds of warriors were crowded in the cramped cabin of the sea ship, and the embarrassment could be imagined.
If you want to gain a firm foothold in this Donglai Xian Village, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
Especially when they learned that Xianwei was trying to find a way to arrest the martial artist who committed the crime and became a mining slave, all the martial artists showed a look of horror, and many timid martial artists did not even dare to enter the immortal village again, so as not to be arrested for no reason.
That night, the food of all the warriors began to be reduced by half, so that the food on the ship would not run out too quickly. This made many warriors indignant and dissatisfied, but because of Ye Mo's order, they didn't dare to say it clearly.
Some of the warriors were arranged by the permanent deputy owner to go out to sea to fish.
However, there are still a small number of warriors who do not give up, and go into the village early the next morning to explore around, hoping to gain something.
Poison master Lin Fei and several of his henchmen entered the fairy village at dawn, and they didn't know what they were busy with, and they didn't return to the sea ship until dark.
Ye Mo, Gao Yan and others were not idle, and went into the village to find out how to earn spirit stones, and tried to find jobs suitable for martial artists.
