Sword of Punishment

That night, laughter and noise resounded throughout the Zhujia mining area for five or six miles. Everyone opened their hearts to drink and eat meat in large bowls.

This is the first time in the Zhujia Mine in decades, including the miners who have worked in the mining area for more than ten years. It is also the first time that they have such a big bowl of drinking and eating meat. Many people can already foresee the future of the Zhujia Mine. It is strong, and it is already faintly number one.

Because it was the first time he drank alcohol, Ji Yuan also got a little dizzy tonight, but because of the special kung fu he practiced, he evaporated the alcohol with a little luck.

After the banquet, Ji Yuan explained some things to the people in the same room, and finally only asked Zhou Hua to live with him in "Yingxiangju". They got along best because they were not much different in age, and he also sympathized with Zhou Hua's experience. Second, he could tell him to do something when he lived there. It was better to have an errand runner around than no one.

Yingxiangju was specially built by Zhu Yuetian to entertain some friends who came to visit the mining area. It has been idle all the time. This Yingxiangju is five or six miles away from the mining area. It is built next to the mountain. It is quiet and natural, and it is very suitable for cultivation. The purpose of Zhu Yuetian letting Ji Yuan live in Yingxiangju is also to let him have a good cultivation environment. [

When Zhou Hua heard that Ji Yuan asked him to live with him, he felt extremely happy, and was so excited that he couldn't help himself. He knew that as long as he followed Ji Yuan, his destiny would change from now on, so he also secretly made up his mind. Serve Ji Yuan well and don't let him worry about the things in life.

Zhou Hua, who is only 16 years old this year, has both died of his parents since he was a child, and has been begging for a living. When he was 14 years old, he was arrested and served as an ordinary soldier. I took a prisoner of war, and then was trafficked to a mining area to become a miner by accident. I thought that I would never have a bright future in my life, but I didn’t expect to meet this era, and this era is also full of many mysteries. Hue, if I guessed correctly, this era is definitely not an ordinary person, maybe he is a master, and his ring is not an ordinary thing, as long as I follow him, I may get some benefits in the future.

It's just that he didn't think that he would have today, and it would come so fast, that his fate would be rewritten from now on. Just when Zhou Hua was thinking about it non-stop, they had already arrived at the gate of "Yingxiangju".

Zhou Hua looked up and was stunned immediately. This Yingxiangju was so luxuriously built, with a wide area, covering an area of ​​at least ten mu. They were all painted so brightly with maroon paint that they could be used as mirrors, which made them look even more luxurious.

Yingxiangju is built on the mountain, with Chishan behind it, so a 10-foot-high wall was built in front with thick red giant wood. The strength and defensive ability of this wall are no less than those built with stone or brick structures. .From the outside, it would cost at least [-] taels of silver to build this Yingxiangju.

A gate to enter Yingxiangju is actually made of fine copper, and there are three big characters "Yingxiangju" on the door.

This copper door is about four feet wide, and its height is about five feet high like the wall. The buckle on the door is made of two monsters made of refined copper, which looks very mighty and terrifying. , Entering the door is a courtyard with a radius of about forty or fifty feet, which is filled with various flowers and plants and artificially carved rockery, which looks pleasing to the eye.

The two of them entered the gate only to find that the main building of Yingxiangju actually has four floors, and next to it are patchwork bungalows, all of which are also made of wood.

Just when Zhou Hua was dazzled, Ji Yuan's voice sounded next to his ears: "Brother Zhou, let's find a room! This place is too big, beyond my imagination."

"Ah! Young Master, that's right, that's right, this place is so beautiful, I like it very much." Zhou Hua woke up suddenly, and his words were a little coherent, because he was too excited. I just didn't have the chance to go in and take a look. I didn't expect to be able to live in it now.

"I like this place too. It's so quiet and the air is good." Ji Yuan also said happily. From the smile on his face, it can be seen that he really likes this place. He then said to Zhou Hua:

"Brother Zhou, you should call me brother when there is no one else. Calling me young master sounds weird, and I'm not used to it."

"Well, that's good! I'll listen to my brother. When there is someone, I will call you young master." Of course Zhou Hua was happy to hear Ji Yuan's words, and he was very willing.

Just as the two of Ji Yuan were about to choose a house, there was a knock on the door, and then a voice called:

"Master, I'm Wu Kouzhong, and I've brought you clothes."

"Ah! Is it mine manager Wu? Come in quickly!" Ji Yuan was a little surprised when he heard that Wu Kouzhong had come, and he was even more surprised when he heard that he was bringing clothes.

I saw five people coming in from the outside, Wu Kouzhong walked in front, and there were four guards behind, carrying large bags, small bags, and weapons in their hands. The five people nodded slightly in front of Ji Yuan: "I have seen the young master."

"Brothers, don't be too polite! What are you?" Ji Yuan hurriedly raised his hand to return the salute, and asked with some doubts.

Seeing this, Wu Kouzhong smiled and explained: [

"Master, in fact, when Master Zhu left yesterday, he had already found the best tailor shop in Jingzhou City to make clothes for the young master. The sewing was completed this afternoon, and it was these four brothers who rushed to send it here."

"Thank you four big brothers. You have worked hard. When you go back, thank my master for me." Ji Yuan was very moved when he heard it.

"Master, you are welcome!"

The four replied immediately.Then Wu Kouzhong asked again:

"Master, where do you want to put these things?"

"It's more convenient for us to live on the first floor of the main building." Ji Yuan thought for a while and said.

Then Ji Yuan chose the largest room on the first floor of the main building, and asked four guards to put all the things in the room. Wu Kouzhong saw that the things were delivered, and then left with the four guards. After Wu Kouzhong and the others left, he checked with Zhou Hua what his master had brought him. The more Ji Yuan looked at it, the more moved he was. He didn't expect his serious-looking master to be so thoughtful.

Except for clothes, shoes, socks, underwear, and even headgear, the things I brought this time are all in good order, and the fabrics used are all the highest-grade silk. It was custom-made for Ji Yuan's figure. In addition to these, he also brought him a spear and a sword, and everything in the room is also readily available, all of which are the best facilities and daily necessities. to describe.

Afterwards, Ji Yuan let Zhou Hua live in the room next to him, so that he could get there as soon as he called, and he also gave Zhou Hua several sets of those clothes.

Since he came to the mine, the mining area only issued two sets of clothes, and one of his own clothes was already worn out. This time, the clothes sent by Zhu Yuetian were really delivered in time.

From then on, Ji Yuan and Zhou Hua lived in Yingxiangju.

And the No. 78 mine is now under the management of Era, so he didn't need to mine ore, but in order to reduce the burden of other companions, he would mine three or four days' worth of ore in one go every time he went, so that others would The ore he mined was split into small pieces, and then transported to the ground, and he himself had more time to practice.

And the red metal sphere he found was also quietly brought back by him that night. The reason why he went to get it back at night was because he couldn't bring it out during the day, and the rule in the mining area was to go down to the mine. Everyone was not allowed to wear clothes, and Ji Yuan didn't want to break this rule. In addition, he didn't want others to know about the red metal sphere. This was his own secret, and even Zhou Hua didn't let him know.

Since he lived in Yingxiangju, except for the time to mine ore, he usually practiced martial arts in Yingxiangju, and sometimes went to the stone room in Chishan to see the white seven-leaf spirit grass, but it was him. I went there quietly, but every time I went, I didn't find any changes in the spiritual herb.After that, the time he spent there gradually decreased.And spend most of the time on cultivation.

Except that Zhou Hua went to the mine with Ji Yuan when mining ore, he usually took care of Ji Yuan's daily life and food. Now Ji Yuan has a different status, so someone cooks for him every day and delivers it to Yingxiangju on time.

Half a month passed quickly, Ji Yuan, who was practicing in the room that night, suddenly frowned, his ears moved slightly, his face showed a slight look of surprise, and then a faint sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he stopped immediately After practicing, he immediately lay down on the bed and pretended to be asleep, and snored softly on purpose.

After a while, an almost negligible sound of footsteps came to the door of the room where Ji Yuan was located. He said that it was almost negligible because the footsteps were so soft that there was no sound at all, and only Ji Yuan could tell that it was a very Others would not be able to hear the approaching footsteps of a formidable master, but Ji Yuan knew that the person coming was actually a congenital master as soon as he heard the sound.

Who is this innate master?But it is by no means Zhu Yuetian's people. If it was the three masters invited by Fan Zhong last time, it would be unreasonable. After all, those three knew that there was a mysterious master beside Zhu Yuetian. They would never have the guts to come again. Forged a good relationship, it is impossible for the three of them to come.

In this case, it can only be said that it was sent by other forces, but did they send this master here to do something shameful?

Immediately afterwards, a very slight sound sounded by the door. When Ji Yuan saw it, a sharp blade protruded from the door latch into the room. With two soft clicks, the door latch was opened, and a black shadow was like a civet cat. With a light leap, he appeared beside Ji Yuan's bed without a sound. The black figure looked at Ji Yuan who was sleeping soundly, with a cruel sneer on the corner of his mouth, and then he raised the sharp knife in his hand to aim at Ji Yuan's head and stabbed him fiercely. Chop down.
