Chapter 4 Four hundred to one! 【Please invest! 】
Time flies.
The sun and the moon fly by.
A flash.
Three more days passed.
The number of miners in the dead mining area continues to decrease and has fallen below the 400 level. More and more miners were taken away, and more and more miners fell to death.
a few days ago.
Zhao Zhuo from the North Sixth District set himself on fire and was burned into charcoal. Wang Ding from the North 9th District was so cold that he turned into ice cubes.
There has been one more case in the past three days.
It was Zheng Dagen from the North Fifth District. He turned into a pool of pus in the cave and died in a miserable state.
This sensational way of death fell into the ears of Chen Jichuan and Chen Shaohe, and the brothers were frightened for a while.
I didn’t know at first.
Now that I think about it, Zhao Zhuo and the other two people must have failed to survive the awakening stage, which is why they are in this miserable situation.
Of course, there is a high probability that the radiation in the mine where the spirit stones are contained is too intense, causing Chen Shaohe and the others to awaken too violently. If the physical body cannot survive the birth, it will be burned to ashes and turned into water.
More deaths.
More weirdness.
Qian Lai waited for the supervisor to become increasingly violent.
It also plunged the remaining miners into extreme anxiety and despair, and they were in constant panic.
In such an atmosphere.
Chen Jichuan and Chen Shaohe carefully disguised themselves and pretended to be exhausted every day when they reported to the supervisor "Qian Lai".
Call it pretending.
Strictly speaking, it doesn't really count.
Chen Shaohe controls the flame every day. Although it does not require much physical exertion, his energy seems to be a bit low over time, and he has to sleep all night to recover.
As for Chen Jichuan.
He used ‘Creation and Insight’ to find spiritual stones, and found four easily on the first day.
But as the easily obtained spiritual stones were mined by him, the remaining spiritual stones were buried deeper. The five spiritual stones dug out in the next two days required Chen Jichuan to dig more soil and chip away more iron ore. , to get the spiritual stone buried deep.
At the end of the day.
Not very tired either.
But it was precisely because of this that Chen Jichuan discovered the great use of Yuanli.
As now.
Ding-ding-ding-ding.
Chen Jichuan vigorously wielded the pickaxe with all his strength. My arms and palms have long been sore, even burning. The waist and back also feel sore and painful.
This feeling.
Chen Jichuan has been familiar with it for six years without batting an eye.
But today is different.
"Hoo!"
"Hoo!"
Chen Jichuan was panting like an ox. He could no longer swing the pickaxe. All his strength was exhausted and he sat down on the ground. Breathing heavily, his chest heaved, but instead of taking a rest, he closed his eyes, and his consciousness came to the 'Green Lotus Jade Pendant' where the 'Tao Fruit' resided in his mind.
"Come!"
"Come out!"
Follow your heart.
Make out a few of the dancing silver threads.
The source of power followed the mind and body, and came to the arms and waist respectively. Then as soon as the mind relaxed, the silver thread and source of power were no longer restrained, and turned into a trace of coolness, as if a lover's little hand caressed it and drove it away in an instant. All fatigue.
Chen Jichuan closed his eyes and felt it quietly.
Not long after.
Stand up.
Waving your arms, twisting your waist and hips, and stretching your back will instantly restore your energy.
Not only that.
Chen Jichuan also felt that the muscles in his arms and lower back seemed to become tighter and more powerful. Chen Jichuan optimistically speculated that if things go on like this, he may become stronger.
It's a pity.
What he lacks now is time.
"Hoo!"
Strength restored.
Fatigue dissipates.
Chen Jichuan didn't stop thinking about it and continued to work hard.
Ding~
A sound.
In three days, the tenth spiritual stone was dug up by Chen Jichuan.
【Source Power: 1024】
Cool into the body.
"Full!"
Chen Jichuan glanced at the jumping column of Yuanli, put down his pickaxe, and went straight to his mind regardless of his happiness.
But I saw that the green lotus jade pendant was still ups and downs.
Inside.
One thousand and twenty-four silver threads are dancing smartly, which is a feast for the eyes.
As soon as Chen Jichuan saw it, a message came——
[Does it cost a thousand sources of power to bloom a world of flowers? 】
A thousand sources of power.
The green lotus blossoms.
Got to see a world.
Chen Jichuan's heart was beating fast. He had been waiting for three days and working hard for three days, just waiting for this moment.
I just checked in today.
There was a whole day for Chen Jichuan to explore another world.
Chen Jichuan couldn't wait.
Open your eyes.
Call Chen Shaohe.
"Fourth brother."
Chen Shaohe waved his hand to disperse the flames and trotted over. In three days, he went from being in a state of getting angry whenever he spoke to now being able to control flames according to his heart's desire, rising and extinguishing with one thought, like the God of Fire.
Even though he is still slightly hunched over, he looks old.
But the spirit of the whole person is completely different. If someone sees it, they will definitely be suspicious.
Fortunately, there is a lot of smelly black grease in the iron ore, which sticks to the body, face, and head. This is the best way to hide it. And because of the stench, the supervisor Qian Lai was unwilling to take another look.
Don't worry about being seen through.
Chen Shaohe came to Chen Jichuan and saw another spiritual stone. He was immediately overjoyed and asked hurriedly: "Fourth brother, have you gathered it all?"
"It's all ready."
Chen Jichuan nodded.
Chen Shaohe was overjoyed when he heard this.
Chen Shaohe didn't ask any more questions about his fourth brother's 'golden finger'. He had long heard from his fourth brother that once you get a golden finger, you must keep it secret. The fewer people know about it, the better, lest it be leaked unknowingly and become a recipe for death.
so.
He didn't ask, and he didn't want to know. In his heart, if the fourth brother has good things to do, he will never forget him, and if he has good things to do, he will not forget the fourth brother.
It's all as it should be.
Therefore, I have only a partial understanding of what the ‘Tao Fruit’ is.
I only know that after the fourth brother accumulates enough spirit stones, he can travel consciously and enter another world, a strange world.
At this moment, I heard that the spiritual stones were gathered together.
Chen Shaohe was also a little excited, but then he became a little worried: "Fourth brother must be careful."
He didn't dare to say something unlucky.
I also know that Fourth Brother will definitely pass by.
But he was still afraid, afraid of what would happen if the fourth brother couldn't come back when he got there. Chen Shaohe couldn't imagine what it would be like to leave him alone.
"Don't worry."
"I can come back just by thinking about it, and my body is still here."
Seeing his brother's rare display of attachment and reluctance, Chen Jichuan felt warm in his heart and comforted him with a gentle voice.
Chen Shaohe is not ignorant.
Seeing that Fourth Brother wanted to comfort him in turn, he blushed for a moment, turned around and took two steps towards the entrance of the cave: "Fourth Brother, don't worry, I'll stay outside and promise not to let anyone harm you."
Chen Jichuan smiled.
Lie down covered with quilt.
……
[Does it cost a thousand sources of power to bloom a world of flowers? 】
【yes. 】
The green lotus jade pendant, with a thousand silver threads flying around, merged into the budding flower bones and disappeared.
But the delicate flower blossom bloomed in an instant, visible to the naked eye, and grew into a blue lotus, filled with a faint mist. Among them, there are twenty-four silver threads floating, which are Chen Jichuan's only remaining source of power.
Flowers bloom to meet me.
See you then——
In the middle of the blue lotus, a little man was born out of nothing, without a trace.
If you look closely, you will see that the villain's facial features are familiar and his skin is pale white, as if he has not been exposed to sunlight for a whole year. The figure is ugly, with a lot of bulge in the back and a hunched back, making him look short.
The hands are covered with calluses.
Overworked and looking old.
Chen Jichuan looked fascinated.
When he recognized this ‘person’, he felt mixed emotions and indescribable sadness——
"I"
"How could I become like this!"
Chen Jichuan looked at the villain.
Recognize it.
This is who he is.
It's just that he has been in the dark prison all year round, and the black grease from the iron ore has blocked his face. Apart from the reflection in the stream, there is no full-length mirror to see his appearance. Therefore, the sudden appearance of such a villain made Chen Jichuan feel strange.
Just guess.
Only then did I ‘recognize’ myself.
This is also the first time that I can see the body that has been tortured so much in this life.
As he thought.
No.
It was uglier and worse than he imagined!
"Did you copy my real body?"
Chen Jichuan sensed the message and couldn't bear to read any more. With a thought, he entered another world.
……
【bite! 】
【Arrived in the new world, under detection】
[Detection completed. 】
[The time flow rate ratio between the current world and the master's world is 400:1]
[The Dharma Master is releasing, 54321]
Think into the lotus.
The world is spinning.
When Chen Jichuan opened his eyes, he found himself standing on a road made of rammed loess.
call!
call!
The strong wind blew up the dust, making him look gray and gray.
Chen Jichuan was not angry but happy.
"400:1."
"Great!"
He is most in need of time right now. He didn't expect that when he got sleepy, he would give him a pillow, and there would be such a big time difference in the first world he opened.
Four hundred to one.
What is this concept?
It's like Chen Jichuan has spent a year here, but not even a day has passed in reality. This is even more exaggerated than the myth and legend of "one day in heaven, one year on earth".
Of course Chen Jichuan was extremely happy.
"In this case."
"Even if four hundred miners die in only ten and a half days, I will have at least ten years to deal with it."
Chen Jichuan smiled from ear to ear.
The tense mind relaxed a little.
Only then did he stop thinking and look around. At a glance, my heart felt even more joyful and full of emotion.
Six years.
In the dark prison that is groggy and shrouded in fog all day long, dampness and darkness are the main themes. The wind blowing is cold and dusty. Therefore, when Chen Jichuan saw his face covered with yellow sand, he immediately felt as if he was from another world.
The sun is shining in the sky.
The flowers are smiling.
The sun shines down.
The sun warmed Chen Jichuan's body, dispelling a lot of the haze buried in his heart. Chen Jichuan raised his head and stretched out his hands to cover it. Through his fingers, he saw the scorching sun and the white clouds.
Momentarily crazy.
……
Lingnan Road.
Langning Mansion City.
It was September in Wei, and the weather was sultry. There were a few lazy soldiers guarding the city gate, asking for a few copper coins from the vendors and farmers who came into the city to have tea.
Chen Jichuan is dressed in short game.
There was no cargo on the shoulders, so several soldiers glanced at it and ignored it.
Along the official road, the closer you go to Langning City, the more people you walk. But when it comes to liveliness, it has to be in the city.
Chen Jichuan strode into the city without showing any timidity.
Just like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, she looked left and right and couldn't get enough of it. She just moved in wherever there were many people.
Not just for fun.
Outside the city, the greenery is lush, the grass and trees are fragrant, and the insects and birds are chirping.
Chen Jichuan could abandon the beautiful scenery he had not seen in the black prison for six years, so how could he get lost in the noise of people.
Although he is obsessed with a world that is completely different from the black prison.
But I also remember in my heart that in reality, there is still an imminent crisis, and my brother Chen Shaohe is waiting.
Even if there was a time difference of four hundred times, Chen Jichuan only gave himself the time to look at it three to five times more. Next, we still have to cheer up and find a way to improve our strength and escape from the prison as soon as possible.
Going to crowded places is also to get more information.
Because the world is different and the language is different, Chen Jichuan could not understand what the people here were saying.
Good thing.
He had an idea and thought of 'Creation·Insight'. This insight technique claims to be able to discern time, space, and cause and effect. It should not only be able to discern tangible things such as tourists and spiritual stones.
So try to understand what people here are saying.
After this try, I discovered that the Insight Technique is not just a combination of the 'Identification Technique' and the 'Exploration Technique', it is also equivalent to having its own translator.
Although it's only one-way.
Can listen but not speak.
Commonly known as mute foreign language.
But as long as you give him enough time and let him listen and learn more, he will be able to communicate with others normally in no time.
As for now, just listen to what others say.
Walk and listen.
Chen Jichuan also knew more about the current world and knew that this was Langning Mansion, Dayanling South Road. This Langning City, the southern half of where he is located, is Fucheng. Half to the north is Xuanhua County.
There are many residents and many vendors.
It is the largest and most prosperous city among the eight counties of Langning Prefecture.
Walk among them.
Pedestrians talk and hear a lot of information. Most of them just listened casually, and Chen Jichuan was also looking for information that would be helpful to him.
Emperor Tian pays off his conscientious people.
Chen Jichuan finally heard it when he was walking past two young men with beaming faces.
"I have practiced Tien Niu Kungfu so well that my whole body is filled with air and the silk is tight. If I encounter a cactus again, I will definitely lose the fight immediately."
"Master Lu is really in trouble this time."
"No, that's right. You know that the new Master Yang has practiced 'Golden Shovel Finger' for many years and is the nemesis of his family's 'Iron Bull Kung Fu', yet you still dare to fight him. Now he is not the only one to be beaten. His reputation was ruined and he was bedridden, and was stepped on by Master Yang. ”
"If you ask me, this Master Yang is also cruel and ruthless. He can obviously hold back, but he has to beat Master Lu to death."
"You can't say that. Fists and feet have no eyesight. If Master Yang shows mercy, he may be the one who loses."
……
Chen Jichuan used his insight skills to hear the words of the two people clearly, and his heart moved: "Golden Shovel Finger! Iron Ox Kung Fu!"
It sounds great.
He entered this world not to learn a foreign language, nor to learn anything else, nor to make money, nor to gain power.
These are useless.
Can't help him, can't help Chen Shaohe.
The only way he can get out of prison is by force. Whether it's martial arts, Taoism, or anything else.
‘Golden Shovel Finger’ and ‘Iron Ox Kung Fu’——
“Looks very reliable.”
……
Half an hour later.
Chen Jichuan came to the south of the city and stood outside the 'Lu Family Martial Arts Gym'.
There were shouts and the sound of heavy objects rising and falling from the yard.
Chen Jichuan stepped in.
Seeing the huge courtyard, there were only eight people, each doing their own thing.
Either carrying stone locks, standing on horseback, or lying down on their backs, hitting them hard on the abdomen with fists or wooden hammers.
But the most eye-catching thing is a short but stocky martial artist.
Oops!
I saw this martial artist holding a stone drum weighing four to five hundred kilograms with his arms flat. The stone is heavy and slippery, and it is easy to fall off when holding it. However, this man is steady and can walk freely. The only thing he makes is a "bang" sound, like the ground. All were shaken.
So powerful.
Intimidating.
Chen Jichuan took a quick look and landed on this person——
Name: Lu Xiong
Age: 25
Level: 3
Spells: Iron Ox Kung Fu (third level), Jade Belt Kung Fu (third level)
"It turns out that the Lu Family Martial Arts School not only has one 'Iron Bull Kung Fu', but also one 'Jade Belt Kung Fu'."
Chen Jichuan was secretly happy.
On the way here, using the poor Langning Mansion dialect that he memorized word by word, he asked people that there are three most powerful martial arts schools in Langning Mansion, namely the Zhao Family Martial Arts School, the Ge Family Martial Arts School, and the Lu Family Martial Arts School. .
Among them, the first two also have real skills.
Zhao Tiezhi, the master of the Zhao Family Martial Arts School, is known as the "Crouching Tiger" and has great footwork and leg skills.
Ge Daqi, the master of the Ge Family Martial Arts School, is known as the "Eagle Claw King" and has sharp claws.
Lu Peng, the master of the Lu Family Martial Arts School, is known as the 'Iron Bull' and is said to be invulnerable.
These three were originally the strongest and most famous boxers in the entire Langning City.
But yesterday, Yang Xu, the 'Cactus' from Wuyuan County, went to the Lu Family Martial Arts Hall to compete and beat Lu Peng until he vomited blood. The reputation of the Lu Family Martial Arts Hall was tarnished.
It just so happened that Yang Xu was opening his shop today to accept disciples.
Therefore, the Lu Family Martial Arts School may only be ranked fourth in Langning City in the future.
And even though the world in Dayan is currently unstable and martial arts is prevalent, one city cannot accommodate too many martial arts schools. Being squeezed out of the top three and losing its reputation, the Lu Family Martial Arts School will definitely be in ruins.
But Chen Jichuan's mind changed slightly.
Neither went to the Zhao family nor the Ge family.
Instead of going to the Yang Family Martial Arts Hall where Lu Peng had just been beaten to vomit blood, he went straight to the Lu Family Martial Arts Hall.
Not because he likes to burn cold stoves.
It's just because the other three martial arts schools charge a lot of money, but Chen Jichuan is penniless.
……
Chen Jichuan stood in the yard for a moment, watching everyone practice. When he was entranced, he saw the martial artist named 'Lu Xiong' holding a stone drum. He gently placed the stone drum in his arms on the ground, making a loud 'bang' sound. Walked forward: "What's the matter?"
Others in the courtyard also looked at Chen Jichuan.
Yesterday, Master was injured by 'Cactus' Yang Xu and is still bedridden.
Even the martial arts gym that had been open in the city for more than ten years also suffered a huge decline in reputation. There were more than thirty apprentices in the Lu Family Martial Arts Hall yesterday, but today there were only six left, and these six were all disciples of the master of the hall.
As for the other apprentices.
Some stopped studying, some found other schools, and some even went to the newly opened Yang Family Martial Arts School.
The martial arts gym is open to accept disciples.
If you have money, you can come in.
It can't be said that they are powerful.
If you spend money to practice martial arts, you will naturally go to whichever one is good. Master Lu was beaten to the point of vomiting blood by 'Cactus' Yang Xu. When these apprentices saw it, who would still want to stay here?
So these people were surprised when they saw Chen Jichuan coming.
"Me."
"Yes."
"Cure."
"Okay."
"Lu."
"Teacher."
"Fu."
Chen Jichuan didn't talk nonsense, he opened his mouth and said every word.
This was one of the few sentences he learned together on the way to the Lu Family Martial Arts School.
"Cure my dad?"
"Then please come inside."
Another martial artist in the courtyard, who was lying on his back and repeatedly hitting his abdomen with a wooden hammer, heard this and suddenly turned over.
Chen Jichuan looked at him——
Name: Lu Rong
Age: 24
Level: 2
Spells: Iron Ox Kung Fu (second level), Jade Belt Kung Fu (first level)
This man looked very similar to Lu Xiong. Looking at their names, Chen Jichuan guessed that these two people must be brothers. Master Lu lying on the bed should be the two of them.
In terms of level, Lu Rong is not as good as his elder brother in martial arts.
But his filial piety is not bad, and he is even more impatient.
When he heard that Chen Jichuan could cure his father, he was very polite.
The eldest brother Lu Xiong glanced at Chen Jichuan. Chen Jichuan was wearing shorts and didn't look like a doctor. But because of years of hard work, Chen Jichuan looks older, which actually helps.
Lu Xiong thought that no one would come to the martial arts gym to show off and cheat.
Isn’t that seeking death?
then.
"Please."
He immediately put on a smiling face, and together with his younger brother Lu Rong, took Chen Jichuan to the back room.
Let’s give it a try.
