There is no airtight wall in the world. Who knows if the deacons in the task pavilion have spies from the Holy Land of Maitreya.

It's hard to say that if he accepted the mission here, Maitreya Holy Land would know about it.

He is ready to destroy the mine.

Over there at Maitreya Holy Land, they might also be preparing to assassinate him.

"Would it be too risky?"

"You are ranked higher than Yun Lingzhi on the assassination list. If possible, Maitreya Holy Land will not mind sacrificing several Nascent Soul monks or even God Transformation monks to destroy you."

"Maybe, I'm not that easy to kill. It's not certain who will be the knife and who will be the fish."

After accepting the battle mission.

Zhang Heng found his cheap master, Elder Cui, and told him that he would accompany Zhang Yitong on his mission.

Elder Cui was a little worried.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Zhang Heng, he thought about it and said, "Don't worry, I'll contact the family and see if I can name a Fusion Stage monk to protect you."

"Fusion monk!"

Zhang Heng was a little surprised.

If he remembered correctly, the guardians around Cui Min were only monks in the integration stage.

Seeing what Elder Cui meant, he was ready to enjoy the treatment of a core heir of the Cui family.

"No need."

Zhang Heng thought for a while and said: "I rescued a seriously injured casual cultivator in the integration stage in the early years. This time I will ask him to come out and protect me."

"Is there anything else?"

Elder Cui was stunned for a moment.

The Cui family has long investigated all eight generations of Zhang Heng's ancestors.

Where did the casual cultivators in this combined period come from?

Just looking at Zhang Hengsan's tight-lipped expression, he probably couldn't ask anything. He could only nod and said: "In that case, I won't advise you anymore. I have three Thousand Miles Escape Light Talisman. Just hold it. If you encounter someone who can't resist,

In case of crisis, immediately activate the talisman to escape far away. As long as the other party does not have the magic weapon and magical power to seal the space, it is expected that they will not be able to catch up with you."

"Thank you, Master."

Zhang Heng did not refuse.

It is a gift given by the elders and cannot be declined.

If he doesn't need the light-escape talisman, he can give it to the eldest lady. For him, as long as there is no old monster in the Holy Land of Maitreya who personally takes action, no one can keep him.

Even if an old monster comes out of the mountain, the chance of killing him is very small.

He is a rare man. If an old monster comes out to find him, it will definitely not be to kill him.

"This is the Thousand Mile Escape Light Talisman, take it."

Return to the cave.

Zhang Heng directly gave the light escape talisman to Zhang Yitong.

Zhang Yitong held the talisman and asked subconsciously: "What about you?"

"I have no use for this thing."

Zhang Heng answered while packing his things: "Let's set off in the afternoon, take a flying boat to the border, then find a local guide, find out the specific location of the mine, find it, destroy it, and then leave. It's very simple, right?"

Zhang Yitong looked strange.

To put it lightly, I hope it goes so smoothly.

Early the next morning.

After a night's flight by flying boat, Zhang Heng and the two arrived at the border.

This place is called Yanchuan.

It is said that it was very prosperous in the past and many salt mines were found.

With over-exploitation, the salt mines have disappeared and the place has become dilapidated.

Yanchuan now.

It has become a no-care zone. The land contains high salt content and most places are not suitable for farming.

Everyone who could move had moved away, and the remaining people, like lonely ghosts, were struggling to make ends meet in Yanchuan.

Smuggling, crime.

There are so many here.

"Old man, have you ever heard that there is a mine that has reopened deep in the saltlands?"

Zhang Heng was not in a hurry to find a mine.

Instead, he took Zhang Yitong and first found a small village in Yanchuan to make a living.

"never heard of that."

The old man glanced at Zhang Heng and the two of them and shook his head without thinking.

Zhang Heng was not discouraged. He looked at this small and very poor village and said, "My name is Zhang Heng. I want to know something about the mine. If anyone knows, you can come to me. I have a lot of living supplies."

And drugs, it’s a good deal.”

Said.

Zhang Heng took out some beef jerky from the storage bag and distributed it to the children who were watching the fun: "Take it and eat it, I am a child and I am innocent."

The children ran away shouting and jumping for joy.

Looking at their appearance, Zhang Yitong felt a little worried: "This is already the year of the disaster in 2004. It's hard to imagine that there are still people living in such misery."

Zhang Heng replied: "There is no way. The settlements that rely on mineral deposits will inevitably become desolate as the mineral deposits are exhausted."

"The mainland is okay, there are people taking care of it."

"But this is a border area where no one cares. Who will take the trouble to control them?"

Zhang Yitong also had nothing to say.

The long war and the boundless borders have created countless zones of neglect.

Yanchuan is just a microcosm. If you want to blame it, just blame your own bad luck.

"What are you doing looking for a mine?"

After a short wait.

There was a little girl of 12 or 13 years old who found Zhang Heng and the others half out of fear and half out of desire.

"We want to eliminate it, but we are not familiar with its situation, so we need to ask someone."

Zhang Heng looked at the thin, helpless and malnourished little girl in front of him: "Do you know the situation in the mine?"

The little girl bit her lip and nodded slightly: "I know, my brother was sold to the mines by the villagers, and I want to rescue him."

"Don't be in a hurry. Speak slowly."

Zhang Heng gave the little girl some snacks and listened to her story.

The mine is not far from this village, just two hundred miles away.

Mining requires workers.

There are two types of workers in the mines. One is those who can no longer survive and voluntarily go to the mines to earn a living.

Another one is like the little girl's brother. After his parents died and there was no one to take care of him, he was sold to work in the mines.

The little girl was not sold because she was a girl and the mine did not want her.

Another point is that when you grow up a little, you can stay in the village and be a wife.

"It was a medium-sized mine, with more than a thousand people working on it."

"After entering the mine, few people can come back. Many people are exhausted, and some who escape will be captured. The year before last, two miners escaped and were captured by a man named a monk."

The little girl looked at them expectantly: "I can help you lead the way. Can you help me rescue my brother?"

"When was your brother Dadu sold to the mine?" Zhang Yitong asked from the side.

The little girl replied: "My brother is a few years older than me. He was sold two years ago."

The two looked at each other.

A place like the mine is too much for adults.

The little girl's brother was a few years older than him and was sold to the mines two years ago. He is probably dead now.

"Do you know how many monks there are in the mine?" Zhang Heng asked again.

The little girl shook her head slightly.
