Beiyin Great Sage

Because he had some impromptu business, he went to the inner city and wasted some time. By the time Zhou Jia arrived at the mine, it was already noon.

"you are late!"

The speaker was wearing close-fitting leather soft armor, with a curvy figure, extremely hot, sharp features, and cold and cold eyes.

Samuel, the new mine director, is a master of level six marrow cutting.

Unlike Cao Honglai, who is a pampered sixth-grade man who doesn't do much, the people in the outer hall often fight with monsters and are proficient in martial arts.

The strength must be stronger!

She looked directly at Zhou Jia coldly:

"Why, I just came to the mine, and Deputy Director Zhou is going to give me a slap in the face, right?"

"I don't dare." Zhou Jia lowered his head:

"I went to the inner city for something..."

"Is that the reason for going to the inner city?" Samuel snorted coldly, evil spirits emerging in his eyes, and waved his hand to interrupt Zhou Jia's explanation:

"Or is Deputy Director Zhou trying to tell me that you have friends living in the inner city who I can't afford to offend?"

"No." Zhou Jia shook his head:

"I didn't mean that."

"It's better not to have any!" Samuel's eyes seemed to have substance, and it felt like needles pricking his body, which made people feel a chill coming from their hearts:

“As the deputy director of a mine, how can I convince the public if I’m the first to arrive late?”

"I'll fine you half a month's money first!"

"Supervisor." Zhou Jia was shocked when he heard this and said hurriedly:

"Isn't this a bit excessive? Besides, I'm also the mine manager. Even if I'm the deputy, you shouldn't be the one to decide the salary."

Although there are different levels of seniority between the chief and deputy supervisors of the mine, they are considered to be at the same level and they are all responsible to the higher ups.

It’s okay to say a few words.

Penalty!

Samuel really doesn't have the qualifications.

"Um?"

Samuel's face darkened and he strode closer:

"do you have any opinion?"

Although she is a woman, she is 1.8 meters tall. She has one hand on the hilt of the sword at her waist, and she is ready to take action if she disagrees with her.

An invisible sense of chilling came to his face.

"You..." Zhou Jia clenched his teeth and his eyes flashed back and forth:

"The deacon should make the decision on this matter."

"Hmph!" Samuel sneered, with disdain in his eyes:

"If you don't plant anything, you can rely on people named Wei to show off your power. Go back."

Zhou Jia's eyes changed and he clenched his hands suddenly.

"What?" Samuel raised his eyebrows:

"You're not convinced and you want to fight with me?"

Zhou Jia had bulging veins on the back of his hands. He took a long breath before he took a long breath, suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart with an expressionless face, and spoke in a muffled voice:

"Don't dare."

"I knew you didn't dare." Samuel sneered:

"The elder asked me to come here this time. One is to supervise the output of the mine, and the other is to find out the secret passage that may be hidden in the mine. You go down and find the secret passage."

"They say you are a lucky star. I believe it won't take long to find the secret passage."

"Really, Deputy Director Zhou?"

Zhou Jia turned his head and looked at the dark mine, his face darkening again.

…………

After watching Zhou Jia and a group of miners go down the mine, Samuel smiled coldly, turned around and walked towards the wooden house.

"Head." A new guard came closer and whispered:

"Isn't it a good idea for us to do this? After all, the person named Zhou is from Wei Zhixing, and that guy Lao Wei is not easy to mess with."

"So what?" Samuel snorted coldly:

"He's just a useless person with only fifth-grade cultivation. If he dared to do something just now, I would have given him a high look. As for Old Wei, do you think the Second Elder will let him go?"

"Yes, yes." The guard responded repeatedly, with a wry smile on his face.

It's easy to say that. If Zhou Jia had dared to resist just now, he would have been disabled. He is a ruthless master.

…………

The mine is narrow and cramped, the road is rugged and bumpy, and there is a strange smell permeating it.

There will be a torch every ten meters in the passage. The torches are relatively sparse. There are many distances in the middle where it is completely dark and you can't see your fingers.

In some places there is rock phosphate, a mineral that gives off a faint light.

The halo is not big, just better than the dark night.

In addition, the cold air continues to corrode the body. If you stay in this place for a long time, whether your body can bear it or not, your eyesight will definitely be affected.

Many miners have eye problems.

"Director Zhou." In addition to Zhou Jia, there was also a guard who followed him down the mine. He was also indignant towards Samuel:

"That woman actually came here not long before you, but she brazenly said that she would deduct your monthly payment. How can she be so shameless!"

These words are both a complaint and a way to bring the two of them closer together.

"Forget it." Zhou Jia's eyes drooped and his voice was indifferent:

"People under the eaves have to bow their heads."

"Yes, yes." The guard named Heisan nodded repeatedly:

"Just bear with him for a while, until..."

"Why!"

He shook his head and swallowed back the harsh words that came to his lips. He knew very well that it was almost impossible to get revenge on Samuel.

"Just right here."

At a corner of a relatively spacious passage, Zhou Jia stopped.

"Here?" Hei San was stunned:

"Aren't you going to go down?"

"No." Zhou Jia shook his head and glanced at him again:

"You don't really think that we can easily find the secret passage that so many people who are familiar with the mine haven't discovered, do you?"

"Uh..." Heisan smiled awkwardly, stretched out his hand and scratched his head:

"makes sense."

He finally understood Zhou Jia's plan. Although he had no choice but to enter the mine, he had no intention of finding a secret passage. He just came in to kill time.

That's not bad either.

Save yourself the trouble.

"Two... two people." Just as Zhou Jia was about to take out his ax and shield to practice one or two, several miners approached cautiously:

"There's some movement down there."

"Oh?" Zhou Jia's eyes moved slightly.

I am not so lucky. I entered the cave for the first time and discovered the secret passage?

Hei San on the side also looked suspicious.

Is it possible?

Is this really a lucky star?

The truth was obviously not what the two thought.

Near the bottom of the mine, a plant similar to a bloodthirsty vine covered an area of ​​about ten feet, wrapping something tightly.

Splitting the bloodthirsty vine, a mutated corpse with bloody flesh came into view.

The corpse was wearing miner's clothes, and the skin seemed to have been removed by life, and its limbs were covered with frightening traces of torture.

"The talisman... the talisman head?"

"Fu Gu?"

Zhou Jia raised his eyebrows thoughtfully.

"This is offending someone." Hei San narrowed his eyes and said solemnly:

"This man was skinned and cramped when he was alive, and no less than eighteen kinds of punishments were imposed on his body. After his death, he was trapped with bloodthirsty vines."

"I won't let him go even if he becomes a mutated corpse. How much hatred and hatred is this!"

"Deacon Lu must have done it, and Fu Tou will be offended..." a miner said.

"Silence!"

Zhou Jia slowly shook his head.

At Wei Zhixing's suggestion, Fu Gu 'framed' Deacon Lu. Although he did save his life afterwards, he still ended up like this.

As a low-class person, he tried his best to resist, but he only let Deacon Lu go to the outer hall.

And he...

There is no peace after death.

"Forget it." Zhou Jia waved his hand and threw out the torch in his hand:

"Give him a good time."
