Chapter 3 Stone Painting
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Wen had been opening a new mine tunnel for more than a month. Even with his body, it was too much for him. He secretly cursed more than once that opening a new mine tunnel was really not a human job.
In fact, the remuneration of miners in the Tianji Fairyland is quite high, precisely because the work is too tiring and does not help improve one's realm. Xiao Wen came out to work more than five months ago, intending to find some work first
To make a living, Qian Fu's mine happened to be recruiting people. However, Xiao Wen was far from making up his mind to work here. As he was talking to the other party, he was knocked unconscious from behind. When he woke up again
, we have already arrived here...
Everyone in the Tianji Immortal World has a Dao foundation, and the difference is only in the morning and evening of awakening, so everyone is qualified to cultivate immortality. In such a general environment, its system of cultivating immortals is becoming more and more complete and mature, and at least on the surface it is still harmonious.
of.
The largest organization in this world is called Xianji Mansion. Its nature is somewhat similar to that of the imperial court, except that there is no such person as an emperor. Its highest decision-making power is in the hands of the five major sects in the Tianji Fairy World, and lower-level decision-making powers are
It is divided into the hands of medium and small immortal cultivation sects in various places, and is uniformly supervised by the five major sects.
The history of the five major sects is longer than that of Xianji Mansion, and their reputations are all top-notch. Under their control, the large organization of Xianji Mansion is quite popular among the people and manages the entire fairy world in an orderly manner. But in this world, there are always
There are places where the sun doesn't shine, and it's the same in Xianji Mansion. There are still some shady things in this world, which people talk about after dinner.
Fortunately, Xiao Wen caught up with him as soon as he came out to hang out.
More than five months of hard work were wasted, especially the last month of opening the new mine tunnel. It was really exhausting. However, this kind of life is finally coming to an end, because the new mine tunnel has reached an advanced stage.
, it will be completed in less than half a month.
As for the idea of taking the opportunity to escape, although Xiao Wen did not give up, he did not dare to act rashly for the time being, because someone had already tried the law a few days ago, and the two mine slaves who escaped died miserably...
That afternoon, Xiao Wen was digging forward in the small mining tunnel that he was solely responsible for. As long as nothing unexpected happened, at least ten mining slaves would be assigned to this small mining tunnel in half a month for official mining.
However, what he was thinking about was not these, but the sinister plan he had planned long ago.
Kill an overseer secretly, then put on the overseer's clothes and escape!
He has a clear grasp of the route of the mine and the activities of the supervisors, but there is a big problem that is really difficult to solve, and that is the speed of escape! Without a suitable means of escape, even if he escapes from the mine
Will also be caught up...
He cultivates weapons. It would be best if he could get a suitable magical weapon for running around. It would also save Dao energy. But the problem is that there are only a few supervisors with such magical weapons. Moreover, supervisors
They are all mid-level immortals, but the immortal weapons they can use, Xiao Wen, a junior immortal, may not be able to use them.
Everything is easy to think of, but when it comes to putting it into action, there is only one word: difficult!
This is a business that may cost you your life if it fails, so Xiao Wen will be cautious and cautious again!
"Dang! Crash!"
Xiao Wen subconsciously said "Huh" because he felt powerless when he hoeed just now, and more gravel was knocked away than before. When he looked up, he saw that the stone wall in front of him was actually dim.
, seems to be turning into ordinary stone. However, this is a rich mineral area, and light alumite ores are everywhere, so it should not suddenly disappear.
Is it possible that this small mining tunnel has come to an end? If this is the case, Xiao Wen knew that he would be transferred to other small mining tunnels immediately to support other mine slaves. However, this actually has nothing to do with him. Relationship, where is it not work?
Work?
When this word flashed through Xiao Wen's mind, he couldn't help but get angry. He suddenly remembered Zhang Hu's original words: I have seen many people like you. Within a year, you will be like them. Sample.
Xiao Wen found that he seemed to be getting used to the life here!
Taking a deep breath and holding it back, anger kept simmering in his chest. Then when he exhaled suddenly, Xiao Wen slammed the mining hoe in his hand towards the stone wall in front of him! He knew how important it was to save energy, but At this time he needs to vent.
"Crash!"
Ordinary stones simply couldn't withstand the cutting of a mining hoe, even if the mining hoe was just the most inferior magical weapon. A large number of stones flew out, leaving a large hole in the stone wall.
It took no effort at all to smash it, and Xiao Wen also smashed it smoothly. He picked up the mining hoe and another guy started to dig in!
"Bang!"
More gravel flew out, almost all broken into small pieces the size of a fingernail. Afterwards, there was even a sound of "sand, sand" on the stone wall, and some fine particles were sliding down from the stone wall.
Xiao Wen finally realized that something was wrong. There was something weird about this stone wall! The rough alum ore that was originally supposed to be covered with it had now not only turned into ordinary stones, but the ordinary stones were getting softer and softer, as if they were decayed.
What's going on?
Xiao Wen thought of many possibilities for a while, but no matter which one it was, in the end his curiosity and desire to break the boring life prevailed. After all, he was only a young man who was almost twenty years old. Man. Even if it is confirmed in the end that he is overthinking and wasting his efforts, it is still better than working in the same way!
A "bang, bang" sound immediately sounded deep in the small mine tunnel, and the frequency was very high.
The stone wall rotted more and more as it went inward. In the end, Xiao Wen no longer had to use a hoe and could just smash down large rocks with his fist. In fact, it no longer looked like a stone. In terms of feel, To put it bluntly, it even looks a bit like earth.
Unknowingly, Xiao Wen had dug a large pit half a foot deep in the stone wall. After another punch with a "bang", debris fell one after another, and Xiao Wen was finally moved!
The stone behind became hard again! There was only a thin layer of floating soil in front of the hard stone behind. Xiao Wen stretched out his hand and wiped the floating soil directly back and forth a few times, then completely wiped away the floating soil, revealing the The hard rock comes from behind.
There are clear lines on the hard rock!
Stone carving? Mural?
How come there is such a thing deep in this mine?
After all, only part of the hard rock was exposed. Xiao Wen couldn't tell what those lines were for the moment, so he put more force on his hand and smashed it at a faster speed.
At this time, his whole body was already nervous and excited, and his heartbeat was racing, because he felt that behind it was probably the immortal mansion left by a high-level immortal!
There are too many legends about a certain lucky boy who suddenly received the inheritance of a certain senior immortal and soared into the sky. There are so many legends about this in the Tianji Immortal World!
However, Xiao Wen is not free now. Even if he discovers the Immortal Mansion, he cannot always keep the secret. All he can do now is to enter the Immortal Mansion as quickly as possible to gain as much benefit as possible!
In less than a cup of tea, the "Immortal Mansion" was completely dug out. At this time, Xiao Wen really didn't know what to say...
What kind of fairy mansion is that? It's clearly a mural! And it's the kind that's directly carved into the stone wall. It's about three feet long and one foot wide horizontally. What makes Xiao Wen laugh and cry the most is that this mural was carved into the wall.
Two scrolls were cut out of the mural, as if they were afraid that people wouldn't be able to tell that it was actually a scroll mural.
The lines on the painting outline a hut in the near distance and a mountain range in the distance. The painting is simple and realistic, far from beautiful. Apart from the hut and the mountains, there is nothing else in the entire mural.
What is this?
It’s so baffling!
Just when he felt slightly disappointed, Xiao Wen suddenly felt something in his heart and reached out directly to grab the two axes of the mural. The reason why he did this was because he could not imagine that if this was just an ordinary mural,
What is the meaning of its existence?
Then something magical happened. Xiao Wen lifted the two scrolls from the stone wall, and then the painting in the middle left the stone wall! If the scroll painting was made of paper or cloth, what happened now
It doesn't feel strange at all, but the problem is that it looks like it was carved into the stone wall!
It is absolutely easy to find a carver to carve random things on a stone wall, but who can take off the carved things like a painting? Xiao Wen has done it now!
The painting in Xiao Wen's hand is generally blue-gray, and it looks like the texture of stone. However, except for the two axes, the middle part is not as hard as expected. Following Xiao Wen's movements, the scroll painted
The main part can actually be slightly bent!
This was really the strangest thing Xiao Wen had ever encountered in his life. He could no longer tell whether the scroll painting was made of paper or stone, or a combination of the two? But, is there such a thing in the Tianji Fairyland?
?
Xiao Wen raised his head in confusion, and quickly confirmed another thing, that is, the reason why the stone wall is in decay is entirely caused by this strange painting. With this painting as the center, the stone wall is decaying in all directions, and it feels like
, it’s as if this painting has sucked out the aura from the nearby stone walls.
It was this inference that made Xiao Wen immediately confirm that this strange painting was a treasure!
But, what magical effect does it have? And how to use it?
Xiao Wen was already a little anxious, because the painting was really big, and he couldn't hide it privately while wearing only a pair of linen shorts! In this way, it would be impossible for him to study the painting slowly.
.
When he thought that he might be discovered by the supervisor soon, Xiao Wen forced himself to calm down and figured out the situation in a short time. Then he rolled up the scroll, stuffed it directly into the gravel under the stone wall, and lifted the mine.
The hoe hit the stone wall again. In just two strokes, the traces left by the painting on the stone wall completely disappeared. However, he did not stop, but continued to dig forward until he dug out rough alumite again.
.
A supervisor came to see it once. Although he didn't find the scroll, it really made Xiao Wen worried.
Xiao Wen then continued to work hard and completed the day's task ahead of schedule. After that, he hid alone deep in the mine tunnel and studied the scroll again.
From previous excavations, he had already deduced that the scroll had probably absorbed all the spiritual energy within a one-foot radius. This was obviously not a great achievement. However, due to its magical texture, Xiao Wen did not dare to underestimate it at all.
it.
Xiao Wen tried to pour Taoist power into the painting, but it was like a cow drowning in mud and there was no reaction at all.
Then came the common method used by the beasts and underworld in the Tianji Immortal Realm, blood sacrifice, but there was still no response.
Seeing that the work was about to end, if there was no progress, he could only temporarily hide the scroll in this mine tunnel, but there was no guarantee that it would not be discovered by the inspection supervisor. In addition, what if he was not allowed to be in charge of this mine tunnel tomorrow?
?
It has been half a year since I was caught in this black mine, but there is still no sure way to escape. When I left my hometown, I was very ambitious and vowed to carve out a world of my own in the Tianji Fairyland. Now, there is no hope of realizing it?
I finally got lucky and came across a treasure, but I didn’t know how to use it, and I might even lose it! Those damn overseers and the black-hearted Qian Fu forced themselves into this situation! And he, originally
Should be a free man!
Anger, unwillingness, and a strong desire for revenge, these emotions suddenly rose from the bottom of Xiao Wen's heart, getting stronger and stronger, almost overwhelming his reason!
After all, he was just a young man under twenty years old. At this moment, he could hardly suppress the emotions in his heart. He even had the urge to kill an overseer immediately and start escaping!
However, at this moment, without any warning, the scroll in his hand shimmered!
Chapter completed!
