Sword of Punishment

At around [-]:[-] p.m., Ji Yuan’s convoy finally came to the foot of a majestic and majestic mountain. Overlooking this mountain, it stretches for thousands of miles. Climbing is not only majestic, but also gives people a very depressing feeling.A person standing at the foot of this mountain is like an ant, looking so small and insignificant.

Through visual inspection, the highest peak of this continuous mountain is as high as three or four thousand feet, and the lowest peak is also one thousand fourteen to five hundred feet high, and the color of this mountain is even more strange. It's strange because the soil all over the mountain has a crimson color, and even the plants on the mountain are all crimson in color. Looking at it from a distance, it looks like a sea of ​​fire, red, It is spectacular!

This majestic mountain is the famous Chishan Mountain in Jingzhou. Chishan is famous for its richness in copper, iron, holmium, aluminum and other ores. The copper and iron extracted from the copper and iron ores mined here are as high as tens of billions of catties every year. Therefore, Chishan has also become an important source of economy for Jingzhou and even Xilu Kingdom.

At the foot of the mountain with a radius of more than 1000 miles around Chishan, there are thousands of mines, large and small, and the mine owners who mine these mines are all overlords of this side.

Not only that, but each of these forces has a group of experts around them. According to the regulations of the Xilu Kingdom, these ore mining overlords only need to hand over [-]% of the mined ore to the imperial treasury every year. Forty percent has become the private property of the miners, so these mine owners have made a lot of money, and they are so rich that it is not an exaggeration to describe them as rich as the enemy. [

However, a rule has been established since thousands of years of mining in Chishan, that is, the top [-] high-quality mines will be redistributed every ten years. The principle of distribution is very simple. Whoever has a hard fist can get high-quality mines, otherwise they have to mine poor-grade mines.

Therefore, in addition to fighting openly and secretly, these mining bosses have to form cliques to find experts to continuously consolidate their power and strive for high-quality mining rights for a ten-year period.

The government also turned a blind eye to the struggle between these forces. No matter who runs the business, it only needs to smelt the ore mined from their mining area every year and hand it over to the state treasury according to the regulations of the Xilu Kingdom court regulations.

In the entire Chishan mining area, every mine will have agility, guards with strong martial arts guarding day and night, it can be said that the security is tight, and it is not easy for outsiders to come in and out casually.

The reason why the security is so strict has a lot to do with the ore mined in the mining area. The ore is divided into grades, one, two, three, four, and five grades. Generally, the ores mined are mostly grades four and five. If any mining area can mine The third-class ore will make the mine owners in other mining areas jealous, not to mention the second-class ore. It is said that the first-class ore has never appeared in the entire Chishan.

According to records, in the past hundred years, only second-class ore was mined twice, and then a bloody incident was triggered.

Although there is a rule to distribute ownership rights every ten years, in the past 20 years ore there have been occasional snatches of high-quality ore between various mining areas, so the entire mining area appears to be calm on the surface, but in the dark it is turbulent and undercurrent.

For this reason, deep hatred among mine owners abounds. If you don’t like me, I don’t like you. Once everyone doesn’t like you, you will feel uncomfortable again. If you kill each other, if you kill a few more people, it will reduce the strength of the opponent.

In addition to the above-mentioned competition, there is also a secret attack, just like the countless things that happened in the Zhujia Mine today.

In order to know the situation of other mining areas clearly, the owners of each mining area will also send some undercover agents to other mining areas to do spying in order to grasp the situation of other mining areas.

The middle-aged man named Zhu Yuetian is one of the mine owners who obtained high-quality mines in the Chishan mining area. The high-quality mines he obtained the mining rights ranked third among the high-quality mines in Chishan. He has been mining for 37 years. Among them, two high-quality mines ranked fourth in the past decade.In the session 17 years ago, he was promoted to the third-ranked high-quality mine, and has remained so until now. Even in the session seven years ago, he still monopolizes the mining rights of the third-ranked high-quality mine , because it also makes many mine owners jealous, jealous, and hate!

And Fan Zhong, who had a quarrel with him in Jingzhou City, got the fourth-ranked high-quality mining rights. Fan Zhong has been operating mines in Chishan for 47 years, and has been ranked third in operating mining for the past 30 years. However, in the competition 17 years ago, Zhu Yuetian won the mine that belonged to him. Zhu Yuetian was originally ranked behind him, but after that session, Zhu Yuetian became the latecomer. Keeping him on top made him very upset, so Fan Zhong was very jealous of Zhu Yuetian and always wanted to find a way to find fault with Zhu Yuetian.

Zhu Yuetian can be regarded as a ruthless character to the outside world, but he has a characteristic in the inside that he is extremely protective of his weaknesses. Whether it is a miner he bought or his subordinates, as long as someone messes with him, he will never make it easier for you.

He also has another identity as a relatively well-known master in Jingzhou martial arts, known as "One Gun Locking Throat" Zhu Tianwang, and Zhang Yudan, "Shadow Death Sword" in the world, Li Lanzhou, "Red Phosphorus Sword", "Han Li" "Blood Halberd" and Zhao Yiming are collectively known as the Four Heavenly Kings. When Zhu Yuetian was in him, he defeated many well-known masters in the martial arts world with a long iron spear in his hand, and became famous all over the world for a while.

The martial arts of the four of them, except for Zhu Yuetian, the other three have reached the initial stage of the ninth level of internal martial arts, and Zhu Yuetian himself has reached the peak of the ninth level, the Dzogchen state. It is said that only the breakthrough is said to be the martial king in the legendary innate state master.

Because of this, Zhu Yuetian will stand tall in Chishan and even the entire Jingzhou for decades.

For the top [-] mines, every mine owner will have two or three masters with eight or nine levels of skill around him, otherwise he will not be able to obtain mining rights, let alone be able to control the place.Otherwise, even if they were killed, they would not know how they died.

……

Zhu Yuetian not only has the internal strength of the ninth level, but he also has a brother who has reached the early ninth level. He is the mine manager of the Zhu Family Mine—Wu Kouzhong. Brothers who have reached the eighth-level peak realm, apart from Zhang Wei and Tu Meng, there is also a brother named Shen Bao who has also reached the eighth-level realm. Zhu Yuetian divided his four brothers, Wu Kouzhong and Wu Kouzhong. Tu Meng guarded the mining area, while Zhang Wei and Shen Bao guarded Zhujiazhuang in Jingzhou City. [

In addition to these four brothers who are all masters, he also has more than 200 guards, all of whom are at the sixth or seventh level. This kind of strength is ranked within the top ten in the entire mining area and Jingzhou. Becoming a brother made him even more powerful, and became famous for a while.

Zhu Yuetian's mining area in Chishan has a radius of about [-] li, just under Chijian Peak, the highest peak of Chishan.The geographical location is good and the feng shui is good, even compared with the first and second ranked mines, it is not inferior.

This also made many other mining area operators jealous, but the forces who coveted Zhu Yuetian had no choice but to watch him earn more and more money and become stronger and stronger.
