...

In this way, Ou Chuyang's injury was just seven or eight minutes earlier, and he became a miserable miner.

Yunzeling is located outside the Yundu Mountains. It was originally full of barren mountains and wild marsh, and it was deserted. More than ten years ago, after Mu Haoran moved his family to Yunchuan Valley more than ten miles away, he actually found a blue crystal mineral vein here.

From then on, the Mu family took off their feet and built a city. Over the past decade, they have developed rapidly. Now they have gathered more than a dozen guests and sword masters, plus thousands of servants and tens of thousands of slaves. They are strong and have become one of the few powerful forces in the Yundu Mountains in northern Ningzhou.

The Yunzeling mine vein can be said to be the most important lifeline of the Mu family, so Mu Haoran sent four guest sword masters to garrison here, and two stewards and eight hundred clans supervised thousands of mine slaves to mine crystal mine day and night.

"Take it!" The housekeeper He Shiren threw two sets of mine slave clothes and a few things to Ou Chuyang, and ordered a servant to "take him down to start work."

Ou Chuyang looked at the three guys in his hand:

A metal nameplate engraved on it: "Mining Slave: 6266", which is probably his code name.

A small chisel, a wire brush, a linen bag... Is this a mining tool? Ou Chuyang weighed these small "toys" in his hand, confused.

"Go away! Wait for the New Year?" The servant pushed Ou Chuyang hard and urged him to enter the mine cave.

Since he came, he would be at ease. As long as there is no life danger, Ou Chuyang will not care about that much for the time being.

The mine was very deep. After walking along the winding tunnel for more than ten minutes, the servant seemed too lazy to go too far. He called an old mine slave and ordered: "Old Sun, this kid will follow you in the future. If he doesn't understand anything, you will be responsible for teaching him; if he wants to cause any trouble, you will be responsible for it."

After the servant said that, he left. Old Sun pointed to a clearing space beside him and said to Ou Chuyang: "You just dig here. In fact, it's not complicated. Just dig slowly and don't damage the sword crystal."

Ou Chuyang walked to the edge of the rock wall as he spoke, imitating Lao Sun's head, and carefully used the pocket steel chisel to dig the rock wall slowly. The rock wall was very crisp and not very hard, and Ou Chuyang quickly dug a small hole.

"Be careful!" Old Sun's head suddenly stopped Ou Chuyang, walked over and used his hand to peel off the gravel lime soil, revealing a little misty blue fluorescence.

"If you chisel down again, it will be a bad thing. If you chisel this sword crystal, you and I will have to be in vain this month and you will have to be whipped." Lao Sun said, gently knocking the rock around the blue fluorescence with the steel chisel, and then carefully digging out a blue bead with his hands.

"Then it's simple." Lao Sun said, pinning the chisel on his belt, taking out a wire brush, and brushing off the stone skin on the surface of the blue beads one by one.

Gradually, a crystal clear blue gem with faint fluorescent light appeared in Lao Sun's palm. This was the sword crystal stone that Ou Chuyang had seen before.

"Hold it." Old Sun handed the sword crystal stone to Ou Chuyang, "If you learn it, start work quickly."

Ou Chuyang refused: "You dug this one out, so you should keep it."

"Young man, do you think sword crystals are everywhere? It's common for you to not dig one in a day. When you finish work, those who don't have sword crystals handed over will have to be whipped." Lao Sun grinned and pointed to the burlap bag on his waist. "I have avoided the whip today. If I have luck, I will dig another one and I will eat a meat bun at night."

"Then thank you Mr. Sun." Ou Chuyang did not hesitate anymore, put away the sword crystal stone, and officially began his career as a mine slave in a copy.

Sure enough, sword crystals were not everywhere. After this day, Ou Chuyang only dug another one, but Lao Sun lost the luck. However, more people were frowning in their pockets.

After finishing the work, the mine slaves, exhausted from dust, lined up in several long queues and stepped forward to pay the sword crystals they dug out in turn.

"One three one four, one one."

“One, three, one, five, no.”

"One, three, one, six, no."

The mine slave who handed over a sword crystal stone received a white flour bun as big as a vegetable bowl and a bowl of broth. The mine slave who didn't handed over a sword crystal stone had only a black steamed bun, one by one, lowered his head and walked to the side to line up. In front of the line was a stone platform, and a mine slave stood on it with his neck shrank and his whole body trembling.

A sword master next to him shook his wrist and a sword light "bang!" pulled the slave to the ground.

The little slave cried out in terror, turned over and rolled down the stone platform, and struggled to climb out.

"Is this a whip?" Ou Chuyang asked in a low voice.

"That's right. The whipping in the mine is personally controlled by the Sword Master. The Sword Master has mastered the strength very accurately. This sword will not hurt people, but it can make people feel pain in the bone marrow and will never forget it for the rest of their lives..." Lao Sun said as he shivered, as if he still remembered it freshly.

"Then I dug two today and secretly hid one. If I can't dig one tomorrow, what if I can't dig one again?"

"Privately hiding the sword crystal stone?" Lao Sun looked at Ou Chuyang like an idiot, "Are you willing to get a whip or will you lose your head?"

"Next!" It was Ou Chuyang's turn as he spoke.

Ou Chuyang received a white flour bun as big as a vegetable bowl and a bowl of meat soup, and a meat bun as big as a fist. He followed Lao Sun to a big tree outside the mine and sat down to enjoy their dinner.

This white flour steamed bun weighs about half a pound, and it is extremely tough when bitten. It is difficult to swallow; and this so-called broth is simply a ray of meat smell floating in a bowl of light salt water. It is estimated that the soup stewed with a ton of tap water and a barrel of bone is much thicker than this.

In comparison, this meat bun is really a delicious dish. No wonder the three or five groups of mine slaves around were staring at the meat bun in Ou Chuyang's hand and swallowing their saliva.

"Old Mr. Sun, I'll give you this." Ou Chuyang handed the meat bag in his hand to Lao Sun. "If it weren't for you today, I might have been beaten with ten whips, and you dug out that sword crystal stone."

"That won't happen." Old Sun pushed Ou Chuyang's hand away, "It's yours, it's yours. Young people are just growing up, so they have to eat more meat."

"That person is half, stop talking about it." Ou Chuyang said as he broke the meat bag in half, and the meat smelled everywhere in an instant, and Ou Chuyang couldn't help but salivate himself.

Alas! Just a meat bag... Ou Chuyang smiled self-deprecatingly: Never thought that one day I would fall into this field... I must unlock the secret of the Sword Sect as soon as possible. It is absolutely impossible to make me a slave forever!

...

Three days later, Ou Chuyang became more and more skilled in mining skills, and he basically didn't have to worry about damaging the sword crystal and getting ten whips. Moreover, he and Lao Sun were both lucky. Not only did he not get the sword whip, he also ate two meat buns.

"Crack!" Ou Chuyang chiseled down, the rock wall cracked, and a dazzling crystal light suddenly shot out from it.

"What's going on?" Ou Chuyang said frantically.

"Sword Crystal Jade!" Old Sun screamed and rushed over, excitedly snatching the gravel on the side. "This is a rare treasure. A sword crystal jade is worth ten thousand sword crystals!"

"Ah?" Ou Chuyang was surprised and hurriedly helped.

A blue jade lay quietly in Ou Chuyang's palm, and a vague light flowed in the crystal light. Ou Chuyang couldn't help but exclaim in secret: It's more beautiful than the "heart of the ocean".

"I handed over a sword crystal jade, and the head of the family gave me a banquet and rewarded 100 taels of silver! I can take a day off and go to the city to have a happy night." Old Suntou was shocked, "I have been digging here for more than ten years, but I haven't seen it a few times."

The surrounding mine slaves also surrounded him, admiring him.

"You kid is really lucky. You dug up the sword crystal jade in just three days. What a fate!"

"Don't forget us if you get the silver reward. At least bring some wine and food to everyone for the teething sacrifice."

"Don't worry, I will take out half of the reward silver to invite everyone to drink and eat meat!" Ou Chuyang held the precious sword crystal jade tightly and prepared to go out to receive the prize immediately.

"The head of the family gives you a banquet, are you worthy of going to eat?" A yellow-bearded man and two followers crossed the tunnel, blocking Ou Chuyang. Judging from the style of his clothes, he was a servant.

"He Luming!" The mine slaves next to them took a few steps back at the same time.

"What do you want?" Ou Chuyang asked calmly.

"What do I want? Ah haha!" He Luming laughed wildly, "Don't worry, I won't snatch your baby in vain in front of everyone. Then go and make two pots of wine."

A few pieces of scattered silver were thrown at Ou Chuyang's feet.
