In the old Fengshan mine, outside Pit No. 7, the carriage was parked at the entrance of the mine pit. He wore a patched long gown and had hair-strapped scholar Jiang Ziheng was pulled down from the carriage by four or five big men wearing torn linen head covers.

He tried to reason with them.

But no one listened to him.

Shouting and screaming, the panicked mines spread far away in this dark night, and crows flew around and rattled.

"Bang"

He wanted to shout again, and the man with a face full of flesh behind him, wearing a short shirt and a bone-knitting knife on his waist hit him with a stick, and his hands were extremely fierce, making the second half of his words turn into a sob.

Shusheng Jiang was carried by three people and went down the mine.

Those people were very familiar with this place. They went all the way to the bottom of the intricate mine pit like a spider-web. The scholar was thrown to the ground and his head covered pocket was also unveiled.

There were shadows in front of me, and in the darkness, I saw a few lamps lifting in front of me, and a few people gathered in a group.

There are two people wearing long gowns, like the leader.

One is younger and the other is older and is whispering.

"Master Bao, I'm in charge, I've brought it."

The lower-ranking little scholar who tied up Scholar Jiang was very respectful and said a flattering sentence. The old man who was talking to the young master turned around and looked at Scholar Jiang who was lying limp on the ground.

He came over with a lantern, put the light down, illuminating the scholar's pale face, and said with a smile:

"Scholar, you have good luck today."

"The money you left from me has not been paid back for many days. The profit has been reduced, and the ten-day money has reached the point where you can't even pay it back even if you sell it.

In the past, in this situation, you would be thrown into the mine, sell yourself to work, and pay off your debts.

But today our Bao Master has opened up.

There is no need to pay back the money you owe.

Just do something for my Ruyifang, and the debt will be written off."

"Didn't you agree to the manager? You can settle the debt by using Wenmo to settle the debt, and you don't have to pay the salary. That ten yuan will only take half a month to pay it back... Woo woo"

Scholar Jiang, who was lying on the ground, said it was reasonable and well-founded, but now he just started to start and was throwing a rope behind him, and he was stying his mouth.

Pulling back hard, the argument turned into a whimpering whimper.

Although this has not been taught in the book.

But at this moment, he also knew that something bad was coming, and his face turned pale due to fear.

"help me!"

He shouted in his heart.

"Don't panic, be patient."

There was a voice in my mind, not panic at all, and there was a sense of curiosity:

"What's that in front? Have you seen it?"

At his reminder, the scholar who was pulled from his mouth looked forward and saw the young man called Baoye, who was luxurious and had a look of banditry, taking out a box from his sleeve.

He took out a stone from it, square, the size of his palm. In the depths of the mine where the torch burned and illuminated, the stone emitted a faint blue light as soon as it was taken out.

It's like a small lamp.

It also looks like some kind of highly radioactive raw material.

The light above it flowed like water, flowing in Baoye's five fingers. The latter bent down and placed the stone in the dent in the middle of the stone slab under his feet.

The right size.

It was not until the light lit up that Shusheng Jiang saw that the one carrying the light stone in front of him was a strange thing.

A few meters in diameter, pentagonal shape, is very exquisitely made.

It looks very old, with all kinds of unknown marks on it, like variants of gossip patterns, long and short, as if it has some pattern.

But it's more like a ghost-drawing talisman.

"Click"

When the strange stones come into contact with the stone slab, it will be like turning on the energy switch. The blue light follows the marks on the stone slabs, like mercury pouring into the ground, quickly filling every intricate line.

After more than ten seconds, the entire stone slab was lit.

The runes above are like a revolving lantern, shining and beating rhythmically, and rotate with double rings nested inside and outside, making a cracking sound, just like the way the password lock of the safe is opened.

No one spoke, everyone was watching the slab rotate. The rotating slab stopped at a certain scale, and then a light lit up in front of his eyes.

A ball of flying light gathered on the stone slab, like smoke being swallowed, gathered to a place half a person's height, and then opened little by little like a closed eye.

Finally, it became an upright oval light curtain.

The inside and outside are swirling light, which looks very beautiful.

Seeing the light curtain open, Bao Ye took a few steps back and wiped the sweat from the nervousness on his forehead. His eyes were staring at the beam of light in front of him, full of desire.

It was like watching a treasure house full of gold, silver and treasures that were opened, unguarded.

After a few breaths, Master Bao took a deep breath, shook his hand, and signaled that he could start.

"Hehe, Shusheng Jiang, don't you tell everyone that there are ghosts living in your body? If there are ghosts inside your body, this trip will keep you safe and worry-free."

Manager Huang smiled softly, and whispered to the provincial governor in a sarcastic manner. He stuffed a short dagger into the scholar's belt and untied the rope on his body.

"help me!"

Shusheng Jiang shouted in his heart, even if the waste was like him, he felt that the disaster was coming.

"Don't panic."

The voice in my mind was still calm, and there was a hint of eagerness to try.

He said to Scholar Jiang:

"Ask them first, what's this?"

"What is this?"

Shusheng Jiang was already panicked and shouted, but no one answered him.

Behind him, Manager Huang kicked him around the waist, but the old man was weak, so the scholar lay on the ground without falling into the light.

But he didn't need to give any more instructions.

A few big men around him strode forward, grabbed the scholar's limbs, shook them a few times, and wanted to throw him into the light.

"Fourth brother! Fourth brother, help me!"

The scholar saw a thin man in panic, as if he had seen a savior and shouted hurriedly.

The thin guy who was called the fourth brother, hid in the crowd, swallowed his saliva, and then peeked at the face of the businessman, as if he couldn't bear it, so he took a step forward.

Press the scholar's mouth and stop him from shouting again.

He stuffed his broken water bottle into the scholar's waist bag, then patted him on the shoulder, sighed, returned to the crowd, and turned his back.

This is the last thing he can do to this poor man.

Master Bao, who had been holding his figure and didn't speak, saw that Shusheng Jiang struggled, thought about it and said:

"My Ruyifang has rules in doing things, and it is not to let you die in ignorance and poverty. It is just to ask you to be a pioneer in the exploration of the way and go to this unknown secret realm.

If you have no father or mother or family, you naturally have no concerns. If you sacrifice yourself and fight, you may be able to gain a certain background.

This is an opportunity that many people can’t ask for.

You must be content!"

"After this star array, when you go to the secret realm there, you will follow the light. The star array is in both directions. If you open it here, you will also open it there.

Remember, that's the only chance you can come back.

Do things with your heart!

If you can come back by yourself, I will have great benefits for you."

This is a reminder.

But judging from the current situation, it should not be out of kindness.

Shusheng Jiang was panicked, and he could not remember these things.

He grabbed the short waist and tried to fight to the death, but the next moment, before he could throw out the dagger in his hand, the man pressing his limbs exerted force in unison.

It was like a flying swallow storm in the sky, or like a heavy object falling into the water. Scholar Jiang was dancing and was thrown into the light in front of him.

The cheeks of the body suddenly felt clear and crossing the water surface.

There is even a real sense of suffocation.

But that feeling was only for a moment. The next moment, the scholar opened his eyes and saw a vast yellow sand below, and the desolate scene kept getting bigger in his eyes.

The power from the earth pulled him down to the ground.
