Chapter 245: Scourge Map

? Dao Ling didn't expect to meet acquaintances here. Gu Tai brothers are all from the ancient sect, and they practice physical arts, majoring in it.

They were familiar with each other. They were chased and killed by the masters of the Fire God Temple that day, so they parted. They had made an appointment to meet at the alchemy conference next time, but they didn't expect Dao Ling to meet one of them here.

"Could it be that this is the mine vein of the ancient sect?" Dao Ling wondered in his heart, but he felt that this was not the case. This little fat man has a good talent, so it is impossible to watch the gate here.

Moreover, the silver-haired old man is the real ruler, and he scolded the little fat man, and the latter responded with a smile, which seemed to be quite helpful.

Dao Ling didn't reveal his identity, and silently followed the little fat man into the mine. There were quite a few people inside, most of whom were miners.

Basically, they are some strong men of five big and three thick, with bulging tendons all over their bodies, wielding minerals to dig rocks. When they saw a young man with thin skin and tender flesh approaching, there was a burst of laughter.

"What are you laughing at?" The silver-haired old man walked in with a gloomy face, exuding a cold air, which shocked a group of miners who dared not speak, and buried their heads in mining.

"Hmph, dishonesty, a group of mine slaves dare to laugh at me and dig mine honestly. If you can't get the amount together tonight, you will end up dead!"

The silver-haired old man waved a dragon whip and roared inside, which made Dao Ling speechless for a while, feeling that he came to the wrong place, this is the black mine!

"Let's go, or this old bastard is going to bite people. This old guy's hands are black, and he has killed many people." go inside.

Dao Ling rubbed his nose, followed him and asked, "Why is this old guy so overbearing, what is his background? Aren't these miners monks from their clan?"

"Huh, you don't know?" The little fat man was taken aback. He knew that these miners were basically suppressed by force, but this young man didn't seem to understand anything.

Dao Ling shook his head. Just now he saw that some people are veterans of mining and know how to avoid the dangers of some ancient mines. Such people are strong for mining, but this silver-haired old man treats them like this , indicating that this is unusual.

Seeing him shaking his head, the little fat man looked around, and said in a low voice: "This silver-haired old man is the clan elder of Tianyan Sect. He has a very violent temper. He has already killed countless people. You have to be careful." .”

"Tianyanzong!" Dao Ling's eyes sank. As soon as he arrived in Daozhou, he learned that Tianyanzong wanted to refine the treasure of the Tao clan, and was still chasing and killing Ling Yan. The door is disgusting.

He didn't expect that this mine vein belonged to Tianyan Sect,

His expression turned cold, wishing he could overturn this ancient mine.

But Dao Ling still suppressed the murderous aura in his heart. This mine is not simple. It stands to reason that Tianyanzong has some relationship with the inheritance of the Earth Master. They should be able to see the extraordinary terrain.

But Tianyanzong summoned outsiders to come in to mine. Isn't this a leak in the mine? Unless Tianyanzong's mind is muddled, or there is something wrong with this matter, Tianyanzong should have other plans.

"With such a strong influence in Tianyanzong, why did they invite outsiders to mine? I think this mine is a bit unusual." Dao Ling asked tentatively.

It was said that the little fat man's head was like a rattle away, and he looked like he would kill him without saying anything, leaving Dao Ling speechless for a while, there must be something wrong with this matter.

Soon, the little fat man brought Dao Ling to a mine, which was a newly mined mine, and there were some absenteeism in it.

Dao Ling's eyes looked around inside, staring at the textures on the rock, and he was startled. This newly opened mine is not unusual. There are mine holes, and the texture is very deep. It is estimated that it has been a long time.

"You stay here honestly, remember to pay three catties a day, if the amount is not enough, you will be in big trouble." The little fat man told him a few words, and left here suspiciously.

Dao Ling looked at the minerals that the little fat man handed him, pondered for a while, and then muttered to himself: "Let's have a look first, and we'll talk about it in a few days."

"You bastard, if you don't hurry up to mine, what are you doing here!"

There was a loud roar, and this was a young man with a straight figure striding forward, with a fierce look on his face, staring at Dao Ling with cold eyes, and a kind of domineering air was spreading.

Hearing this, Dao Ling glanced at him, then walked up with the minerals and started digging rocks.

"Hmph, little brat, if you don't scold you, you won't be happy!" Mo Shengrong said coldly, cast a contemptuous glance at the people around him, stared at them condescendingly, and sneered constantly.

There are a few middle-aged people and an old man in the mine, and they are full of anger. It has been a year since they entered the mine, and they have never gone out.

This is tantamount to imprisonment, but they dare not speak out, what is Tianyanzong? The current overlord of Daozhou is proficient in all kinds of deduction methods. If he offends their clan, is there a way to survive?

"Children, don't take it to heart. If you fight with them, you will die." An old man kindly reminded Dao Ling that he kept his voice down and did not dare to speak too loudly.

Hearing this, Dao Ling asked: "Old man, how long have you been here? Have you always lived like this?"

Dao Ling didn't take this Mo Shengrong seriously at all. On the contrary, the people inside were very miserable. This old man was gray-haired, very old, and his clothes were tattered. .

An old man of this age is still digging mines, and he has been insulted by a young man. Dao Ling is angry. He should enjoy the blessings and spend his old age when he is full of children and grandchildren. .

"Yes, old man, I have been here for two years and have been living like this." The white-haired old man sighed again and again: "It's better to die once and for all."

"Old man, there is a turning point in everything, don't commit suicide." Dao Ling comforted the old man and asked, "Where are you from? Who is there in the family, why do they want you to mine?"

"I'm in the village next to Qingzhou, and I have a little granddaughter at home." The old man smiled, with a look of reminiscence on his face, and said slowly: "This old man used to be in this business, and he has a rough knowledge of the way of harvesting. I used to rely on this to make a living, but unfortunately, I met a group of people who are not as good as pigs and dogs in Tianyanzong..."

The more the old man talked, the more angry he became. He was the original pioneer of this mine, and he experienced many life and death crises in it. The old man thought that he would get a good salary to enjoy his old age, but he did not expect to be imprisoned in it all the time and was not allowed to go out.

"Then why don't you resist?" Dao Ling frowned, feeling that Tian Yanzong had gone too far.

"Resist?" The old man laughed: "What do you know, child? Daozhou is no longer the Daozhou it used to be. Ever since the Taoist tribe closed the mountain, Tianyanzong has become the overlord of Daozhou. Once people have power, they will completely change. Over the years, they have enslaved many Caiyuan people, and if someone resisted, they would either be killed or buried alive, by the way, there was a large-scale riot a year ago, and they were all beaten to death by the Tianyan Sect!"

"How much do you know about the Tao race, senior?" Dao Ling interrupted abruptly.

"I don't know much about the Tao clan, but I know that the Tao clan has a very long heritage and is closely related to Taozhou." The old man shook his head, not knowing much.

Dao Ling was silent for a while, and then asked: "Old man, did any special things happen here? For example, people often die, and there are earthquakes for no reason?"

He always felt that there was a strange atmosphere here, which made Dao Ling want to know the answer, and Tian Yanzong's picture was not small, and the old man's answer surprised him.

"Yes!" The old man directly asserted: "I just eat this bowl of rice. I can conclude that this ancient mine is unusual. There are ominous things happening inside, and many people die every time, especially this time!"

The old man said in a low voice: "Just a few days ago, Tianyanzong died of several important people. It is said that they were all very powerful guys. However, the death is really good, and it is very satisfying!"

This incident happened just a few days ago. The people who shocked the entire ancient mine at the beginning died of a few strong men from the Tianyan Sect. This is not a small matter.

Dao Ling's face was full of surprise, could it be that the power of the crouching dragon has revived and shocked the strong to death?

"Could it be that they have gone deep?" Dao Ling asked.

The old man thought for a while, then whispered: "It's hard to say, I heard that Tianyanzong has been paying attention to the depths of this ancient mine for a long time, and it is said that it has something to do with the legendary map of scourge!"

"Picture of Heavenly Scourge, what is this?" Dao Ling was surprised, he had never heard of such a thing, but felt that it was a bit unusual.
