Chapter 490 Tit for Tat

With a wailing cry, the body of a monk who was dragging the iron ore mine to old age slumped and fell to the ground. This mine road happened to be a downward slope. His body tilted and the iron chain slipped from his shoulders. The iron ore cart immediately lost its traction and slid down the road. After sliding down for more than ten feet, the mine cart hit the rock wall and capsized. Both the cart and the mine cart fell into the deep ditch beside the mine tunnel.

One of the supervisors, Yaksha, hissed angrily, raised his hand and shot a blue light at the monk. The blue light went straight to the monk's temple. Looking at the castration, it was clear that he was going to pierce the monk's head and kill him.

Standing in the distance, accompanied by several Yakshas, ​​Wu Qi was watching the whole shape of the mine and suddenly shouted: "Stop!"

The Yaksha was startled and hurriedly waved to the blue light. The blue light had already touched the monk's skin, and almost printed a shallow blood mark on the monk's temple. The blood flowed down his cheek, and the blue light returned to Yasha's palm. The Yasha turned around, cupped his hands towards Wu Qi and said, "Deputy Manager!"

Shaking his head, Wu Qi waved his hands and said calmly: "Let this fellow Taoist have a rest and give him some food and water!" Looking at the few Yashas around him who looked puzzled, Wu Qi sighed: "You killed everyone so fast, who will dig the ore for us in the future?"

Several Yakshas rolled their eyes and looked at each other. One Yaksha lowered his waist and said carefully: "Deputy General Manager, the General Manager said that these monks must be strictly disciplined. The General Manager said that the amount of Linhai Xuan gold and copper in this mine is It’s limited. Thousands of monks have been digging for several years and it’s hollowed out. There are still people being sent here for 66 consecutive years. It doesn’t matter how many people are killed or injured!”

Looking at the Yaksha coldly, Wu Qi suddenly pulled out the sword from the waist of the other Yaksha next to him, and chopped off the Yaksha's head with one sword stroke. Blue blood spurted out from Yasha's broken neck, and the sound was like a fountain. Wu Qi wiped his face that was sprayed with blood, and threw his sword to the ground with a clang.

Countless monks appeared in the surrounding mines, and they watched the movements here cautiously. The Yashas who oversaw the work looked at Wuqi in horror, and their huge bodies backed away in panic. Especially the few yakshas around Wu Qi." They fell to their knees on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly, and loudly begged Wu Qi for his life.

Raising one arm high, Wu Qi shouted sternly: "Fellow Taoists, I don't care why you came to Beiming or why you got stuck here. But now that the poor Taoist can make the decision here, we can't let another Taoist friend lose his life innocently! "

With a hint of crying, Wu Qi wailed: "All fellow Taoists have worked hard for hundreds and thousands of years to achieve what they are today. The poor Taoist himself is also a cultivator." Naturally, he knows that every day there are dragons and tigers. Meeting each other, blending water and fire, and tempering a trace of true energy is not easy. Only then do we know how hard we cultivators have endured until now! "

There was a glimmer of light in the gray eyes of those monks, and a strange life suddenly emerged on their numb bodies.

Wu Qi shouted loudly: "I am lucky that Fairy Meng took me under my sect. Although I am an outer disciple," I am also the deputy general manager of this mine! I will be bold today. As long as everyone works hard every day, food will be provided. I must make sure that all my fellow Taoists are well fed and drunk! Fellow Taoists, just let go and work hard. "When all the veins in this mine are mined, Pindao will definitely urge Manager Lu to fulfill his promise!"

After a brief pause, Wu Qi shouted loudly: "From today on, the supervisor Yasha is no longer allowed to kill anyone rashly. Anyone who dares to do anything wrong will be killed by the poor Taoist!"

The night heads all knelt on the ground and said respectfully. The thousands of monks who were trapped here stayed for a while, and then I don’t know who was the first to cheer, followed by other monks who applauded and cheered, and some even [Excited] jumped up excitedly, and for a while the cheers and cheers shook the mine slightly." Everyone was [excited] and their cheeks were red with excitement.

Especially the monk who had just been rescued by Wu Qi's scolding was even more grateful as he knelt down in the mine tunnel and kowtowed to Wu Qi.

Looking at the thousands of cheering monks, Wu Qi just smiled faintly.

Lu Buwei is like the dark night in the cemetery, ruling these monks with endless terror and death threats. Wu Qi, on the other hand, maliciously tore a big hole in the dark curtain deliberately constructed by Lu Buwei, "let a faint light shine through."

One, Wu Qi gained the gratitude of these monks. Among these monks, there are always some who have not lost their conscience. Maybe Wu Qi can capture them and make them his strength in the future.

"Two" Wu Qi ruined some of Lu Buwei's plans. No matter what Lu Buwei wanted to do, Wu Qi confronted him and left.

Three, Lu Buwei would always react to Wu Qi's naked enrichment and interference. Once there is a conflict between Lu Buwei and Wu Qi, this conflict, good or bad, will be spread to Fairy Miaoxin. Wu Qi felt that Fairy Miao Xin was happy to see Wu Qi making such a fuss.

This was Wu Qi's third day in this mine, and he began to deliberately break the rules set by Lu Buwei.

Flying in front of the monk who kept kowtowing, Wu Qi helped him up, patted his shoulder vigorously, and encouraged him in a deep voice: "Fellow Taoist, keep at it. Pindao promises that as long as Pindao can still stay in this mine, With the slightest bit of power, a poor Taoist will never let a fellow Taoist die unjustly!"

The cheers of the monks around him became louder and louder.

Wu Qi waved his one arm to greet the monks around him. Then he glared and yelled at the yakshas: "What are you doing standing around? Go and prepare food and water. Hurry, hurry! Which fellow Taoist will ask for it in the future?" Drink water, you hurry up and bring it to any Taoist friend who has an only son who is hungry, you hurry to bring it to any Taoist friend who has a headache, you are filial sons and grandsons, give it to the Taoist Master with great respect!"

Many monks puffed up their chests. Half of them looked at Wu Qi with gratitude, and the other half looked with disdain at the Yashas who were kneeling on the ground but did not dare to raise their heads. Under Wu Qi's loud scolding, these Yashas ran out of the mine in embarrassment, and soon brought a large amount of clean water, as well as food made from seaweed, sea fish and other raw materials, and distributed them to the many monks in the mine.

Several exquisite stone caves were specially dug in the mine, with left and right sides and front and rear entrances in the style of suites. The layout of the cave is also very complete, including stone tables, chairs, beds, etc. There are even bookcases cut out of the walls, which actually contain several books introducing the topography, various specialties, and customs near the Beiming Abyss.

These caves are used by the steward disciples under Lu Buwei's command. Steward disciples often come to the mines to watch and supervise the work of the monks. Since they are disciples of Miaoying Palace, their treatment must not be the same as that of monks. These caves are equipped with all living facilities, which is what they should enjoy.

After ordering the yakshas to provide the monks with sufficient food and water, Wu Qi chose a stone cave with the most luxurious furnishings, stretched out on a stone bed, and read the books provided in the cave. These books were compiled by Miaoying Palace themselves, and the information in them is very detailed, even including the topography of the north, northwest, and northeast directions of the Beiming Abyss.

According to the books, the north of the Beiming Bottomless Abyss has now become a large and densely populated state. Right on the front and back, almost the same distance between Zhou and Beiming, is the seat of another first-class Dazhou Banner of Dayu.

However, because the distance is too far, there are not many contacts between Henzhou and the state. Mortals have never negotiated for generations, and the monks who came to Pangu Continent rarely traveled between Henzhou and the state. . Except for the chamber of commerce that went to Lingban Island to purchase aquatic treasures, few other monks were willing to wander around the Beiming Bottomless Abyss. It was really not a good place.

I recorded the information in these books word by word. I had just finished flipping through a few books when there were rapid footsteps outside Beqishi Cave. Lu Buwei, who was green-faced with anger, rushed over with a group of Taoists in Qingyi. With a heavy palm, he pushed open the door of the cave.

"Deputy General Manager!" Lu Buwei shouted, emphasizing that, Deputy, General Manager.

"Manager Lu!" Wu Qi lazily stood up and threw the book on the stone bed. He tilted his head and looked at Lu Buwei and sneered: "Doesn't Mr. Lu only come down once a month to search for treasures? Why did he just leave yesterday and come back today?"

Lu Buwei took a few steps closer to Wu Qi. He pointed at Wu Qi and shouted sternly: "How dare you! How dare you break the iron law set by me?"

Wu Qi stood up, stared at Lu Buwei without fear and sneered: "What kind of bullshit rules are you talking about? I don't like it! You are deliberately trying to harm the people in the world! Although I am not a good person, I have the slightest kindness. Kind heart! Mr. Lu, could it be that you are a demon immortal cultivated from jackals, tigers and leopards? Otherwise, how could you be so hard-hearted and use all kinds of means to kill your comrades?"

Lu Buwei's face became even more ugly. He sneered with a straight face: "What a compassionate deputy general manager!"

After laughing three times, Lu Buwei turned around and left. The many deacon disciples behind him looked at Wu Qi with pity, then turned around and followed Lu Buwei away.

Wu Qi walked to the door of the cave, smiled and waved to Lu Buwei: "General manager, walk slowly, walk slowly, be careful of slippery feet!"

Wu Qi laughed loudly, but his eyes were full of cold air, without any heat at all.

He raised his head and looked at the yakshas overseeing the work. The yakshas lowered their heads in fear and bowed to Wuqi one after another.

On the second and third days, Lu Buwei did not show up, but from time to time a few of his steward disciples came to the mine occasionally.

On the fourth day, the leader of the overseer Yasha came to Wuqi timidly and whispered something.

"Deputy General Manager, in the past few days, the output of ore has suddenly dropped by twice, to less than 30% of the previous level! If this continues, we will all be severely punished by Elder Miaoxin! It doesn't matter if you offered the elixir and fairy grass, but we will die. deal!"

The leader of the Yaksha fell to his knees with a bang, kowtowed like garlic, begged not to beg.

Wu Qi was startled and shouted sternly with a green face: "Everyone gather together! I'll give you some time for a cup of tea!"

Thousands of monks poured out of the surrounding mines.
