Chapter 43 Asura Son, Daqingshan
Volume 1 Chapter 43 The Great Green Mountain
Qin Ming continued on his way after dawn, avoiding all spirit demons and hunting teams that could be avoided, as well as avoiding the occasional mercenary team. He was trying to hurry, and he was trying to adapt to the environment of the forest.
Two days later, he traversed the area of the Priestess Mountain and rushed into the denser and more dangerous depths of the forest, all the way to Daqing Mountain.
The further you go, the more danger there will be, and you will also see some strange spirit monsters.
He came across the mysterious white deer, took a glimpse, and disappeared into the jungle; met a monster more than ten meters high, running wildly in the ancient mountains; also saw more than ten black apes worshiping the moon in the middle of the night, even cultivating. I have seen strange monsters roaming the rivers and raining clouds.
Qin Ming persisted in danger and adapted to the survival of the forest.
On the eighth day of the hunting event, he finally came to Daqingshan!
This is a mountain cluster located in the northeast of Yunluo Forest, and it is also a large-scale mining area, stretching 20 to 30 kilometers.
There are five large-scale mines, which provide Qingyunzong with a surprising amount of spar every year. Part of it is used for the cultivation of the disciples of Qingyun Sect, and part of it is used to exchange other precious spiritual herbs or medicine pills with the outside world.
Before Qin Ming approached Daqingshan, he could feel the hot atmosphere in the mining area from a distance.
More than 200,000 laborers work day and night, providing abundant resources for Qingyunzong. They are all people from the ancient city of Thunder. They originally had a happy and prosperous life, enjoying peace and comfort. Because of the accident that year, they became slaves in the mines and worked hard in this isolated mining area.
Eight years! Eight years!
Qin Ming stood on the top of the mountain and watched silently. Suddenly, he was a little afraid to approach, and he didn't want to see the tragic scene.
What the hell happened eight years ago? Qin Ming is actually still unclear.
"Because the tribute that Thunder Ancient City gave to Qingyunzong was robbed, it attracted the wrath and punishment of the elders of Qingyunzong." This was the explanation Tu Wei gave him at the beginning, but now thinking about it, it will definitely not be so simple.
Qin Ming climbed to the high mountain in front and hid in the canopy, waiting for night to fall, and was also secretly vigilant for the danger that might appear at any time. There are a lot of spirit monsters in the dense forest around the mining area, and many mercenaries and bandits are active. They all covet the precious spar inside, and occasionally forcefully rush into the mining area to loot, or sack the team that escorted the spar to leave.
Therefore, Daqingshan has its own escort team, some from the disciples of Qingyunzong, and some from the escort team formed by Tuwei himself, which are warriors selected from the city residents. The escort team led by Tu Wei had a very low status and had a very heavy task. While trying to protect the suffering people, they had to patrol outside and faced the threat of spirit demons and bandits.
late at night!
Qin Ming calculated the time, left the mountain, and approached the mining area carefully.
He had never been here before, but the map given by Ke Caiyi described the layout of the mining area in detail.
The mining area has a luxurious manor in the east. It is the residence of the elders and the main warehouse of the spar mine. .
The place where Qin Ming was going was the small courtyard next to the manor, and the map marked the residence of their Qin family.
The map made by Caiyi is very detailed and attentive, and the patrol routes and time points of the guardian team are listed.
Qin Ming sneaked into the mining area carefully, avoided everyone safely, and approached the yard next to the manor.
This place is simpler than I imagined. They are all houses made of stones and wood, arranged in a compact arrangement. It is very quiet and there is no bright light. I don’t know if they are all asleep or no one is there.
Qin Ming climbed over the wall and came in, standing in the shadows, looking at the dark yard, he didn't know what to do.
Thinking of the grand and splendid City Lord's Mansion back then, and looking at the shabby and dilapidated courtyard now, he felt lonely for a while. Although he knew that his relatives had not had a good life these years, he was still very sad when he was standing here.
Where is uncle?
Where is auntie?
Is your sister there?
And other cousins, relatives...
Want to wake them up? Qin Ming's hands tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened.
Suddenly there were hurried footsteps outside, as if someone was coming here.
"You're back?" Qin Ming hurriedly sorted out his clothes, calmed down, and tried his best to smile.
Bang! The courtyard door was rudely pushed open, and a group of people walked into the courtyard with torches.
"Qin Ying! Qin Ying! Get up!"
"You dare to sleep late before midnight?"
"Master asked you to accompany you to the wine, hurry up."
A man shouted loudly, and the people who followed behind slammed the wall and beat the weapons.
They wore first-class embroidered robes and hung the waist badge of Qingyunzong, and their attitude was arrogant.
Candles were lit in the stone houses, and people pushed open the door drowsily. Each stone house was not big, but there were more than ten people living there, all of them were women, from children to the elderly, watching with fear and anger. The disciples of Qingyunzong.
"It's already early in the morning, why do you still want to accompany the wine?" An old woman came out on crutches and looked at them angrily.
"Smelly old lady, you have more things to do, hurry up, where is Qin Ying? The young master misses her." The man smiled wickedly.
"Don't go! Qin Ying is already asleep!"
"Don't go? It's easy to handle! It's an old rule. Tomorrow, all the slaves in the five major mines will be processed for one hour, and they will be given one less bottle of water and one less piece of dry food. Oh, by the way, the east is unstable recently, and some mercenaries are making trouble. Do you want to? Arrange more of your guards to come and see?"
"You... shameless!" The old woman coughed angrily, hitting the ground with her crutches.
The other women were very angry, but they were all numb, and no one dared to resist.
"Auntie, let me go." A thin girl walked out behind the woman, her face was haggard, and she could see that she was very tired. She tried her best to smile and comfort other relatives.
aunt?
Is she an aunt?
Qin Ming looked at the vicissitudes of the old man in disbelief, two tears rolled from the corners of his eyes, and his chin twitched.
Is this old man an aunt?
She is clearly under fifty years old!
In her memory, she was graceful and luxurious, and she was beautiful, how...how could...
The girl changed her clothes, gave everyone a reassuring smile, and followed the Qingyun Sect disciple out of the courtyard.
The people in the courtyard were very worried, but they had no strength to resist, so they could only watch Qin Ying being taken away.
The woman tapped the ground lightly with her cane. "Go and inform Tu Wei! The bastard of Qingyunzong is uneasy and kind!"
The girl is Qin Ming's younger sister, Qin Ying! She is two years younger than Qin Ming, she is already slim, beautiful and refined, and she is full of delicacy. It's just that the long-term hard work has made her complexion dull and her mental state is very poor.
She was taken into the luxurious manor next to her, her hands in her sleeves clenched subconsciously, and her eyes were full of tension and vigilance.
Deep in the manor, in a wide courtyard, there is a scene of extravagance and wealth.
The sound of the piano is rustling, smart and crisp.
A group of dancers are dancing gracefully, with enchanting poses and light gait.
Every woman was dressed revealingly, with white tube tops and trousers on the inside, and a thin red veil on the outside, showing their perfect figure to outsiders.
There are many Qingyun Sect disciples inside and outside the courtyard, and they are admiring their graceful posture unscrupulously.
Although they danced lightly, like a willow in the wind, their faces were expressionless, and their eyes were full of exhaustion.
In the yard was a large table and reclining chair, and a teenager under the age of 20 was reclining there, holding a delicate jug in his hand, shaking his head drunkenly. There were also a few pretty girls kneeling beside him, who gently shook his feather fan and massaged his legs. He half-squinted his eyes and enjoyed the beauty in front of him.
"Master, Qin Ying brought it here." The group of Qingyunzong disciples brought Qin Ming to the yard and left in no hurry, all greedily admiring the swaying dancer.
"Little Ying'er, go take a shower first and change your clothes." The young man hooked Qin Ying with a smile.
"What did you ask me to do?" Qin Ying was full of grief and anger every time she saw the scene in the yard. These women used to be the maids of her Qin family, who were only responsible for daily life, but now they have been reduced to dance girls, doing shameful things.
"What do you do? What do you say. You are the maid of the manor, and I am the master of the manor. You have to come when I tell you, and you have to do what I tell you to do."
"Leng Yuliang, our Qin family are employees of the manor, not your slaves."
"Tell this to the first elder, it's useless to yell at me. I don't care what happened to your Qin family or who you are, I just know... You have to listen to me now." Leng Yuliang swayed He stood up and walked towards Qin Ying drunkenly. This little girl deliberately didn't groom herself, she looked ordinary, but he could see that she was a beautiful embryo, and...hehe...he started to develop.
I like this kind of green and half-ripe fruit.
"What are you doing?" All the women who were playing the piano and dancing stopped and stopped in front of Qin Ying to protect their young lady.
