In the late autumn morning, it was already very cold.

However, at the top of Yuanling, there were dozens of children and teenagers sitting.

"Look, immortals!"

I don't know who it was, and suddenly there was a shout.

Dozens of children, all hulala, stood up, their little faces flushed, and they all looked at the southwest sky.

I saw that above the southwest sky, a golden figure, driving a flying sword, greeted the rising sun, and came rising.

"It's coming! it's coming!" the teenagers screamed excitedly, and then they all knelt down, shouting "Grandpa Immortal, Grandpa Immortal......"

Not far from these children and teenagers, next to a mountain rock, there was also a young man wearing a thin cloth robe, about fourteen or fifteen years old, looking at the "immortal" in the sky with a longing on his face.

The immortal gradually flew closer, and looking at it, it was a middle-aged immortal in a yellow robe.

The yellow-robed immortal flew above everyone's heads and looked down.

All the children and teenagers were even more excited, and shouted together: "Grandpa Immortal, Grandpa Immortal give some treasures to the boys!"

The yellow-robed immortal's eyes swept down indifferently, he snorted in his nose, put his hands behind his back, and the flying sword suddenly accelerated, passing over the heads of all the children and boys, and in a moment, it disappeared into the distance.

The children and boys were disappointed, and they got up from the ground, talked for a while, sat down again, and looked at the sky, hoping that another immortal would appear.

The single-clothed young man beside the mountain and rock, looking at the place where the immortal disappeared, was silent for a while, then turned around and ran quickly down the mountain. After turning around and around, he pushed out a wheelbarrow full of slag in a bush and re-onboarded the road, making his way quickly.

This young man is not very old, but his strength is not small, this wheelbarrow full of slag, the weight is more than 1,000 catties, but it is a fast walk.

The time is short, and a small town is already in sight.

On the side of the road, there were several identical wheelbarrows parked there, and several men in tattered jackets were squatting there to rest.

Seeing the young man coming, a man smiled and said, "Lu Yu, why did you run to the back today?"

The young man Lu Yu smiled and said, "I had a bad stomach last night." ”

Another man said, "Xiao Yu, wear more clothes." On such a cold day, you are still wearing only a single coat, how can you not have a problem!"

"Thank you Uncle Shi, I'm not cold. Lu Yu said and subconsciously touched his waist.

A few people gossiped, rested for a while, got up and pushed the wheelbarrow, and walked into the town.

Entering the town, you can see a stone storage yard, surrounded by a stone wall, roughly estimated, the inner range is about more than 100 acres, several zhang high slag mountain, piled up in several places.

Several people entered through a gate, passed by several large men guarding them, and came to a gatehouse.

Outside the gatehouse sat a middle-aged man who looked like a scribe, and he was also protected by two big men.

When a few people came to him, the master glanced at the wheelbarrow, then threw out a piece of yellow paper and shouted, "Tested!"

Several people took the yellow paper, walked through the porter, and with the help of each other, pushed the wheelbarrow up a slope and dumped it on the slag heap.

After doing this, several people rushed to the gatehouse of another gate with a cart, handed over the yellow paper, exchanged it for two copper coins, and then left together.

Leaving the slag field, he hurried all the way to the mine, passing by the place where he saw the immortal in the morning, Lu Yu deliberately left behind, and looked up at the mountain.

This Yuanling mine is located in Jizhou Prefecture on the southern border of Liangguo. Dozens of miles further south from here, there is the Two Realms Gorge, and on the opposite side of the Two Realms Gorge, there is an endless reckless demon land.

Every three years, there will be a disciple of the Immortal Sect who comes out of nowhere and enters the Two Realms Gorge Trial. At this time, at the highest point of Yuanling, there is a chance to see immortals passing by.

It is said that more than ten years ago, a few children were playing on the mountain, and when they encountered an immortal passing by in the sky, they actually dropped a pill. After one of the children grabbed it and took it, he felt the aura that night and stepped into the threshold of the warrior. By now, that child is already a famous young general in Jizhou!

Since then, every time there is a triennial immortal trial, there are often children and teenagers who go to the mountains to wait hard, hoping to be like the young general, to win the favor of the immortals, and from then on soar to the sky.

Counting this time, it was the third time Lu Yu had seen an immortal in six years.

I still remember the first time I saw the immortals, the blood in the chest of the teenage Lu Yu was boiling, and he secretly swore that in the future, he would be like the immortals, the sword broke through the sky, and the sky roared proudly!

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Yu couldn't help but touch his waist again, and his belt was slightly raised near his navel, as if he was hiding something.

After looking around, seeing that there was no one in Siye, Lu Yu leaned the wheelbarrow on the side of the road, got into the bushes on the side of the road, sat down cross-legged, and then groped around the belt for a while, and took out a thumb and finger belly-sized, dusty stone bead!

This stone bead is Lu Yu's treasure! At least he thinks so.

Five years ago, Lu Yu, who was less than ten years old, had already come to work in the mine. At that time, Lu Yu was young, so he could only do some miscellaneous work such as watching the fire and adding firewood and smelting ore. In the second year of his arrival at the mine, he was adding firewood to burn stones, when suddenly a piece of ore burst open, and the stone bead rolled out of it.

The child was curious, Lu Yu picked up the stone bead and played with it, and immediately discovered the abnormality of the stone bead.

This stone bead fell from the hot ore, and it itself exuded a sense of coolness!

At that time, Xiao Lu Yu was inexplicably surprised, and in order to prevent the supervisor from discovering it, he quietly took the stone beads in his mouth and took them out of the mine.

Later, he gradually discovered that as long as he carried this stone bead close to him, he would be almost inviolable from cold and heat!

However, in addition to making him not afraid of cold and heat, this stone bead has been carried on his body for several years, and there is no other abnormality.

Lu Yu pinched the stone beads, and some thoughts did not belong.

If you want to cultivate, you must be able to sense aura. In this world, the aura is scattered everywhere, but the intensity is different. It is because many babies are born with a certain degree of spiritual fitness. And this kind of aura fit determines a person's cultivation talent!

How is his own cultivation talent, spend five taels of silver, and he can test it in Yuanxian County, which is more than 100 miles away. One tael of silver is equal to a thousand copper coins, over the years, Lu Yu has also saved more than four taels of silver, and it is estimated that by the end of this year, he can go to the county seat for testing.

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Yu put away the stone beads, carefully drilled out of the bushes, and was about to push the cart away.

A cold wind hit behind him, Lu Yu was taken aback, and instinctively flashed to the right. There was a crisp sound of "pop", and a whip shadow slammed the wheels.

Lu Yu looked back and saw a young man dressed in black, holding a whip, glaring at him.

"Good boy, you dare to be lazy in the blue sky and daylight, don't you want to do it?" The young man in black scolded angrily, and then raised his hand and whipped his head and face to hit Lu Yu.

Lu Yu's eyes flashed with anger, and he didn't dodge or dodge at the moment, grabbing the braids that attacked.

The black-clothed young man pulled back, but the whip was held in Lu Yu's hand but did not move at all, and he couldn't help but blush.

"Lu Yu, you still dare to resist!" The young man in black had no strength, but his voice was not small.

"At least two truckloads of slag a day, have I ever been less? Miners are not slaves, so you can't do whatever you want!" Lu Yu finished speaking, his hand pulled back suddenly, and the black-clothed young man with him stumbled, and the whip in his hand was also taken away.

"If no one offends me, I will not offend anyone. If anyone offends me, I will repay him tenfold! Li Pan, if you dare to provoke me again, I will break your dog's paws!" After saying that, Lu Yu broke the whip in his hand, threw it on the ground, turned around and pushed the wheelbarrow, and headed towards the mine.

The black-clothed young man Li Pan stood in place, trembling with anger, his eyes staring at Lu Yu's departing back, and his eyes seemed to be about to erupt into flames......

After walking a distance, Lu Yu stopped the wheelbarrow and raised his right hand to watch, only to see a red mark on his palm, burning pain.

This Li Pan was originally an ordinary miner, but later because his sister was favored by the mine steward, he was accepted as the third aunt, and he also turned into an overseer.

People from poor backgrounds, once developed, will have sympathy for the same poor people, and thus do a lot of good deeds. On the contrary, the other part of the people will draw a line with the original circle once they are developed, and even worse, they will even humiliate the original people from the same background in every way to show that they are superior and different!

This Li Pan undoubtedly belongs to the latter, after becoming a supervisor, he humiliated the miners in every way, beating and scolding them at every turn!

The miners were afraid of his brother-in-law's status, and often swallowed their anger and did not dare to resist, which also fueled Xue Pan's arrogance.

Lu Yu is a stubborn character, he never pretends to be sexual, and he has confronted him several times in public, because he has always been hated by Li Pan.

Clenching his fists, Lu Yu pushed the car and walked forward again.

By the time I got back to the mine, it was nearly noon.

Lu Yu looked at the sky and knew that it was impossible to transport it again in the morning, and after thinking about it, he put away the wheelbarrow and walked towards the depths of the mine.

The mine is divided into five mining areas, a smelting area, and a slag area.

After the ore is mined, it is transported to the smelting area, where most of the brass is extracted, and the remaining slag is sent to the slag area, where it is sold to the chamber of commerce outside the town.

This is the most stringent management in the fire refining area, and the slag area is the most lax.

His father was in the Fourth Mining District, and if he wanted to meet, he would have to go a long way over the mountains.

......

The fourth mine is located in a valley, and through the mouth of the valley, you can see a large bare mountain wall, which is very abrupt compared to the surrounding mountains full of wild trees and wild grass, and from a distance, it looks like a huge scar on the mountain.

On the mountain wall, there are some large and small mines, and hundreds of miners shuttle between these mountain walls, constantly transporting the ore and ore sent out of the caves.

An unkempt miner, hunched over, slowly walked through the low mine road, dumped the ore on his back on the wheelbarrow, coughed twice, and turned around to re-enter the mine.

"Lu Tianqing! A man who looked like an overseer outside the cave shouted.

The miner Lu Tianqing turned around, a trace of joy flashed in his gray eyes, and blurted out, "Is it my son?"

The overseer glanced at him, nodded, and walked away.

Lu Tianqing hurriedly put down the bag, followed the overseer, and walked outside the mining area.

"Woo", in the distance, there seems to be a strange roar!

Some miners with sensitive ears can't help but hear the prestige.

I saw that between the mountains in the distance, two shadows one after the other, swept towards here like flying!

"Demon beast!" I don't know who it was, and shouted hoarsely.

"Boom", the miners all over the mountains suddenly became chaotic.
