Chapter 735 We are both fallen people at the end of the world
Many years later, Black Ginseng will always think of that distant afternoon when he and the miners went to visit the newcomers.
At that time, Haoshan was a snow-capped world, and everything was covered with a layer of ice. Everyone has to break through the ice, pry open the thick frozen soil, and then dig down to find ore. Often overnight, the holes that were finally dug out will be sealed by snow again.
So everyone is asked to relay each other. As long as the mines and tunnels don't freeze, they can continue to dig out mines containing almighty stones.
The person who supervises the local area is King Haoshan. He is a huge demon shaped like a mountain and likes to talk everywhere.
It always says to everyone: "If you work harder, you will be promoted to a higher position in the future, and a lifetime of glory will be just around the corner!"
However, no matter how hard the miners work, they can at best become overseers supervising other miners.
And the job of the supervisor is to find trouble. The problem must be found, otherwise there is something wrong with the supervisor himself. And there are constant problems, which means that the supervisor himself has problems. In short, this is also a very difficult job.
This is the situation in Haoshan under the rule of the **** [Golden Hoop Immortal].
This is how the newcomer Xisuo was sent to Haoshan with iron hoops and became a member of the new miners.
Hisoka carried a wooden table on his back and cherished it very much.
If someone touches his desk, he will immediately warn the other person with a serious look on his face.
"This is the Queen Mother's Platform. Do not offend the majesty of the Queen Mother of the West. If the Queen Mother of the West is angry, the consequences will be serious."
Comparing to this weird behavior, its lizard face, broken tail, and bruised nose and face are all very normal.
The miners were so nervous when they saw it at first, they thought it contained some secret. However, everyone looked around and found no hidden power in the table.
Once, Hisoka carried the table on his back and swung the pickaxe, and two table legs fell off on their own. He quickly picked it up and put it back carefully, muttering "Forgive me, forgive me."
It was a very old wooden table with many scratches and damage on it.
Hisoka always wiped it clean and meditated in front of the table whenever he had free time.
Black Ginseng asked the mine soldier who sent it here: "Brother, what's going on with the table?"
“The tradition of their family.”
The mine soldier said: "It's nothing special. This lizard man's head was smashed. We picked it up from a fragment of the world nearby. Sometimes it is nagging. You greet it and let it mine well. Don't If you cause trouble for us, remember."
“Yes, yes, understand.”
Black Ginseng lowered his head and said.
The reason for asking about Hisoka was not because Heisen had a good impression of the lizard man, but because Hisoka was assigned to partner with him. It had been more than a year since his last partner died, and Black Ginseng had not enjoyed a single life for long before they started working together again.
Haoshan's mines are always in groups of two. The miners are always wearing "iron chains", which are connected to each other and must move together to be able to walk. As long as one of them stops, the other person cannot move, and both parties have to cooperate.
Once the iron circle lock is removed, King Hao Shan will be alerted. Once it is put on, it must be worn at all times unless promoted to overseer.
This trick seems to affect mining efficiency, but its real purpose is to prevent miners from escaping.
As long as one of the two miners changes his mind, it is impossible for the other to escape.
Everyone is suspicious of each other, and it is difficult to keep the same mind at ordinary times.
Hisoka's first words to Black Ginseng were: “You are still a child, why are you here to mine?”
Black Ginseng held his hands behind his back and told it: "I am a ginseng spirit. I am one thousand two hundred and sixty-five years old this year. I am indeed not very old. It's just that I looked like this when I was born. I always look like a child."
He asked back: "How old are you?"
“Two hundred and forty-six years old.”
“Then you are a kid.” Black Ginseng smiled faintly: “No matter your age, experience, or seniority here, I ask you to call you brother. I hope everyone can cooperate with each other.”
“No problem, bro.”
Black Ginseng's smile froze.
This guy is a bit prickly.
On the first day in the mine, something happened to Hisoka. He dug out the Almighty Stone and ate the ore directly.
The black ginseng next to me was shocked. Although it is true that everyone is always hungry here to avoid thinking and running away, the mine you eat directly contains all kinds of messy rocks and unpredictable things.
Soon, Hisoka was rolling around on the ground, his body twisted in pain. The overseers and mine soldiers beat him in a group.
After being beaten, the lizard's mouth and nose were covered in blood, but it seemed to be a little clearer.
“Sorry, I can't eat it. I'm a miner and I have to mine.”
It stood up unsteadily, began to pick up the pickaxe and continued to participate in mining.
Black ginseng is confirmed.
This lizard man does have a brain problem.
Black Ginseng said half-jokingly and half-warning: "Brother Xisuo, please don't mess with the ginseng seeds and leaves on my head. Before, my partner secretly ate my ginseng seeds and died."
It pointed to its own head.
Ginseng essence will have a bun on its head, surrounded by a bunch of small bright red fruits, accompanied by green leaves.
However, the situation of black ginseng is different. The fruit on the top of its head is black, and the green leaves are also covered with black veins. On the surface of his child-like white skin, there are also black lines that look like tattoos, like marks for prisoners in some worlds. Black ginseng is naturally different from its peers.
Originally, it was impossible for the ginseng spirits to be thrown into a place like this to work as low-level coolies. The last thing they did was to keep them well until the ginseng seeds appeared on their heads, and then pick the fruits and trade them.
Ginseng seeds are part of the body of ginseng essence and also a precious raw material.
The ginseng seeds on the head of black ginseng are quite special, with [poisoning] and [weakness] effects.
He is considered to have no value as ginseng essence. He is a black sheep among the same kind. He will also destroy the quality of the entire group and is difficult to sell and trade to outsiders.
So Black Ginseng was kicked to the mining area, where it has been mining since childhood.
"Will not."
While Xisuo was digging, he muttered: "The Queen Mother of the West, the Queen Mother of the West, will guide me... we must not eat each other, no, no."
It said to Black Ginseng: "My head has been damaged, and sometimes I go crazy. Don't worry about me. Just let me stay for a while."
Except for his intermittent speech disorder and unclear movements and postures, Hisoka is not difficult to deal with under normal circumstances.
What surprised Black Ginseng the most was that although this guy was not of a high level, only LV44, he was actually a divine descendant!
“It shouldn't be.” Black Shen was puzzled: “Gods are one of the noblest races. Even a **** like Mr. [Golden Hoop Immortal] should train you well. There is no problem in being an apostle.”
“That's what they said at first.”
Hisoka scratched his head: "My awakened ability is of no use to them, and my head was damaged. I don't have much normal time, and I can't do anything else, so they asked me to come over and mine."
That's when Black Ginseng knew it.
It turns out that we are both fallen people from the end of the world.
“What's wrong with your head?”
Hisoka recalled: "I was captured by many people, participated in military battles, worked as a servant, a slave, was hunted down, and was kept as a pet... I don't know when I started to have problems with my head. "
Black ginseng made me grit my teeth when I heard it.
It is too tragic for a dignified descendant of the gods to fall to such a fate, even in this bordering area forbidden by the gods.
He asked: "Why are you here?"
Xisuo said: "I am following the footsteps and guidance of our god, the Queen Mother of the West, and heading towards the Kingdom of Heaven. Our family was originally divided into two parts, one part continued to lay the foundation, and the other part began to fly outward, approaching the Kingdom of Heaven."
Black Ginseng shook his head: "The gods in this place cannot exert their power. You have been deceived."
“No, the Queen Mother of the West has always been with us, and she is looking at me even now.”
The lizard man has a firm gaze.
“Although I have always felt that I don't really need other people's advice in life, I really suggest that you have a clear head. You are already like this. If the Queen Mother of the West is really here, why doesn't she come out to get you?”
Black Ginseng sneered.
god?
It's just a group of extremely powerful advanced beings.
The border zone is the natural danger in front of the gods, which makes their divine power and the fire of faith insurmountable, and they can only use the power of ordinary life.
“We are the descendants of the gods, and we have the power to break through everything here and move towards our gods.”
Sisuo emphasized: "We are running to the heaven where the gods are, not because we can get anything, but because the Queen Mother of the West is calling us."
He raised his hand, and a picture slowly emerged in the cold air.
A simple building that looks like a conference hall, a pool with twinkling stars, and a building with cornices shrouded in mist, where floating pedestrians stroll.
"This is the kingdom of heaven I am looking for, Kunlun. Do you know Kunlun?"
Black ginseng said he knew.
The lizard man was overjoyed: "Can you tell me about Kunlun?"
"I only know the name Kunlun and that it is a mythical anchorage." Heisheng told the other party: "In our place, Haoshan belongs to [Penglai] Mythology. I am also from Penglai, and [Penglai] and [Kunlun] used to be the same. There is a grudge...or we can say we are old acquaintances for many years."
“I have heard the name of the Queen Mother of the West. She is indeed the famous main deity of Kunlun. She is similar to the status of the [warlord] Chi You in Penglai in the early ancient times, right?”
“But Kunlun has been in decline many years ago. It seems to have been destroyed and fallen by some evil spirit from outside. The gods inside are dying and trying to escape.”
Black Ginseng patted the lizard man on the back: "Young man, don't daydream. Your whims will only harm yourself. You won't be able to find the mythical anchorage. Don't bother, you are already struggling like this."
Hisoka stared at the projection in the air: "Kunlun is in that direction. If you keep walking forward, you can get to Kunlun."
Black Ginseng was a little irritated: "Then let me ask you, your clan has been wandering all this way and suffered heavy casualties. What will you get if you stand in Kunlun in the end? Is it worth it?"
The lizard man had a smile on his face and rubbed his paws excitedly.
“That would be great.”
Black ginseng is helpless.
This kid lives in his own world and has no regard for the real situation outside. It is strange that such a **** descendant can still survive to this day.
