Chapter 4 The Mine Prison

In the simple thatched hut, the dim butter lamp flickered, and the old wooden box was opened, revealing a short pale blue blade, a yellowed scroll, and a dark gray half-foot seal pen.

The sealer, the sculptor and the writer.

The so-called seal pen is actually a kind of thing that looks like a writing brush with a sharp tip, and it is the tool needed by the spirit pattern master to engrave the spirit patterns.

Therefore, the seal pen is also called the pattern knife.

Lin Xun personally prefers the title of Wen Dao, and the homonym of Wen Dao is to ask, to ask the world, who will compete with each other?

This feeling is indescribably exhilarating.

Lin Xun's eyes stayed on the [Yellow Scroll] and [Dark Gray Half-Foot Seal Pen] for a long time. These two things had extremely unusual meanings to him.

The yellowed scroll is about three fingers thick, the scroll has no name, and the cover is cut from animal skins, which is already very worn. It is obvious that this scroll has existed for a long time. Just a glance at it makes people feel a sense of age. breath.

The dark gray half-foot seal pen is also quite unique. It is quite different from the usual seal brushes. It is more like a sword, with a dull surface and a mysterious cloud pattern. The whole body exudes a chilling icy aura, reaching the depths of the soul.

These were the two most important mysterious treasures on Lin Xun's body.

In addition to the short blades, scrolls, and seal pens in the wooden box, there are also some bones, animal skins, plant stems, and ores, all of which are spiritual materials and can be used for refining tools. After the technique is smelted, it can also be used as the spiritual ink and materials for seal carving.

These spiritual materials were all collected by Lin Xun during his long journey in this period of time. If they were sold, they could also obtain a considerable amount of wealth.

At the farthest corner of the wooden box,

There is also a pile of hard wood that is only the thickness of a thumb, with bumps and bumps all over the body, like jade.

This kind of wood is called "stone pine silver wood", and it has no value. The only characteristic is that it is hard enough, as hard as a stone.

For spiritual pattern apprentices, stone pine and silver wood is an excellent practice material for learning seal carving spiritual patterns.

Lin Xun carefully took out the thick yellowed scroll and sat at the desk by the window.

Quietly looking at this scroll, Lin Xun did not open it, but fell into contemplation.

In a trance, Lin Xun's thoughts were flying, as if he had returned to the past.

...

It was a mine prison with many prisoners, isolated from the world.

Since the beginning of Lin Xun's memory, he has been staying in that mine prison, where the sky is black, dark and humid, and there is never sunlight.

The atmosphere there was also depressing, with prisoners dying every day and new prisoners being brought in every day.

In Lin Xun's memory, until the mine prison was completely destroyed, no one could escape from that prison.

Strictly speaking, Lin Xun is not a prisoner. He is an abandoned baby. When he was discovered, he was almost eaten by those ferocious prisoners as food.

This is what Mr. Deer told him.

And the reason why Lin Xun survived was, of course, being rescued by Mr. Lu.

No one knows the origin of Mr. Lu, but his position in that mine prison is very unique. Whether it is the guards who guard the mine prison or the prisoners, they are extremely respectful to Mr. Lu.

All because of Mr. Lu's other identity - the spirit tattooist.

Lin Xun has followed Mr. Lu since he was a child, and since he was sensible, he has been ordered by Mr. Lu to do various things.

Literacy, identification of spiritual materials, learning to make ink, practice seal carving, memory of spiritual patterns... At the same time, I also take care of chores such as serving tea, pouring water, washing clothes, cooking and so on.

Lin Xun thought that he was already a disciple of Mr. Lu, and so did the guards and prisoners in the mine prison.

But Mr. Lu never recognized Lin Xun as a disciple. According to Mr. Lu, he never planned to accept an apprentice in his life. Lin Xun can only be regarded as a chorus by his side, that's all.

For this statement, Lin Xun was also depressed for a while, but then he gradually forgot about it, but deep down in his heart, he always regarded Mr. Lu as a master.

Life in the mine prison is very boring and dark. As Lin Xun grew up, he began to slowly understand that there was a wider world outside the mine prison.

When Lin Xun was nine years old, Mr. Lu took Lin Xun out for the first time and left the prison mine.

But only three days later, he returned.

During these three days, Lin Xun was shocked. He saw the outside world, the sun, the blue sky, and the white clouds.

From then on, Mr. Lu would take him out every once in a while, ranging from ten days to three days, before returning to that mine prison.

The purpose of going out is quite simple. Mr. Lu has carved spirit patterns and needs to go out to collect more spirit materials.

And as he went out again and again, Lin Xun finally had a better understanding of the world.

The only thing that puzzled Lin Xun was why Mr. Lu would rather stay in the dark mine prison than stay outside?

Unfortunately, Lin Xun did not get a definite answer until the mine prison was destroyed and disappeared.

The mine prison is broken...

Thinking of this, Lin Xun, who was sitting in front of the desk, suddenly felt a pain in his heart, and the tragic picture from three months ago could not be restrained in his mind——

That day, he was practicing seal carving a "green wood spirit pattern" pattern. Mr. Lu was smelting a furnace of spirit materials, and he was muttering something in his mouth.

Outside the room, a group of guards were waving the blood-stained iron whips in their hands, constantly beating the prisoners who were not doing their best, and shouting and wailing echoed under the dark sky.

Such a day is no different from the past. Lin Xun has long been used to it, and he will not even sympathize with those prisoners who seem pitiful, but are actually vicious in their bones.

On that day, the only person who seemed a little strange was Mr. Lu.

Lin Xun knew from an early age that Mr. Lu had a bad temper, was irritable and impatient. He didn't know how many times he was yelled at by Mr. Lu since he was a child, and he was used to it.

Because Mr. Lu scolded and scolded, but never hit anyone, and when he scolded Lin Xun, it was often when Lin Xun made a mistake.

It's just that Mr. Lu's temper was particularly irritable that day, and he broke many things in the house, and even his favorite seal pen "Qingqiong Burning Gold" was twisted and broken by him.

Just when Lin Xun felt a little strange in his heart, he saw Mr. Lu take out an old wooden box and threw the yellowed scroll, a short pale blue blade, and a dull half-foot seal pen into it. In the wooden box, it was handed over to Lin Xun who was stunned.

Lin Xun still remembers that Mr. Lu's expression at that time was cloudy and uncertain, extremely complicated, with hatred, helplessness and unwillingness, but in the end, it all turned into a serious and solemn look.

That kind of seriousness and Zhuang Su was something Lin Xun had never seen before, and he would never forget that scene in his life.

At that time, Mr. Lu held Lin Xun's shoulders tightly with both hands, very hard. When Lin Xun felt that his bones were about to be crushed, Mr. Lu opened his mouth.

"From today, you have to learn to live alone, so you must live well!"

At that moment, Mr. Lu's voice was hoarse and firm, his eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, full of madness as if he was dying.

"Remember, I finally rescued you, and you must not die!"

Then, Mr. Lu pointed to the [yellowish scroll] and the [dark gray seal pen], and said in an unprecedented solemn tone, "Keep them safe in the future! Whether you can successfully practice in the future will depend on them! Especially in that pen, there is a secret hidden in it that even I have not revealed yet, as long as you can decipher it, even if you are dug out of the original spiritual vein, you can change your life against the sky!"

"Also, haven't you always wanted to know who deprived you of the original spiritual vein that originally belonged to you? I tell you, the answer lies in the Zi Yao Empire!"

"You have to live to find it, so you can't die!"

"Remember!?"

In the almost hysterical voice, Mr. Lu's expression has become faintly hideous, Lin Xun was completely shocked at that moment, and nodded subconsciously.

Then, Mr. Lu grabbed Lin Xun's thin and frail body and rammed all the way to a secluded mine crossing that Lin Xun had never seen before.

"Go!"

The mine road was deep and deep, like a bottomless abyss, but Mr. Lu did not hesitate to push Lin Xun into the depths of the mine road entrance.

At that moment, Lin Xun didn't even have time to react, the whole person was like falling from a cliff, and his head was blank.

It was also at that moment that he saw an old palm in his field of vision, tearing apart the darkness above the mine prison, and rumbling down.

The old palm is so big that it covers the sky, every knuckle is like a pillar of the sky, every palm pattern is like a ravine, and terrifying purple flames permeate the surface of the old palm, like pouring from the outer starry sky. A sea of ​​purple flames, burning the darkness, burning the sky, filled with terrifying aura of destruction.

Lin Xun never knew, whose hand in this world can... cover the sky!
