MTL - Beiyin Great Sage-Chapter 591 spy
Chapter 591 Spy
The cultivation of five poisons and eight evils is to exchange for the loss of one's own lifespan in exchange for a great increase in strength. Whether it is the five poison pills or the eight evil pills, it is accelerating this process.
One day of practice may cost several days of life.
Man and beast are completely different.
However, to practice five poisons and eight evils, you need to admit from the heart that you are a poison and a beast, so that you can truly cultivate.
As soon as he started practicing, Zhou Yi noticed something was wrong.
Although the progress is not bad, the internal organs are all worn out to a certain extent, and even the hard-to-touch spiritual consciousness is showing abnormalities.
If it wasn't for him to have a strong base of cultivation and a fair disposition, it would be inevitable that his temperament would change and his face would be distorted.
The current impact is not significant.
But how long it can last is still unknown.
However, if you don't cultivate the five poisons and eight evils, there is no way to solve your body problems for the time being, which is really distressing.
"Next!"
Drinking sounded.
Zhou Yi regained consciousness after hearing the sound, and moved forward along the flow of people.
This is the day when the red gold sand is handed over once a month. Dozens of people from nearby gather in one place, and the Batu Cave disciples take turns to weigh it.
A device similar to a weighing pan is placed on the table, red gold sand is poured on it, and the scale of the weighing pan moves to show the weight.
"Shanbo, two catties, three, two, six money."
Ma Yu glanced at the scale and waved his big hand lightly:
"Next person."
I didn't see him making any movements, the red gold dust on the weighing pan flew up by itself, and sank into a wooden box behind, which was already full of gold sand at this time.
Red gold sand, shining with seductive light.
Na Hai took off the cloth pocket around his waist, carefully poured the red gold sand onto the weighing pan, and finally even rolled up the cloth pocket to avoid leaving any residue.
"Fourty two seven cents a catty!"
Ma Yu lowered his eyebrows, and said with a blank face:
"Next person."
Na Hai opened his mouth, with a bitter expression on his face, but finally he retreated obediently.
not long.
It was Zhou Yi's turn, and he followed suit to take down the red sand.
"Nine taels of money."
Ma Yu's complexion darkened, showing obvious displeasure:
"Don't be negligent just because you are a rookie. What is missing now must be made up after passing the rookie stage."
"in addition…"
"Don't let me find out who of you is selling red gold sand privately!"
Chi Jinsha can be bought and sold, but that is based on the completion of the task, and both buyers and sellers have strict regulations.
Buy, and can only buy from specific people.
This is the exclusive business of Batu Caves.
otherwise.
Once discovered, it is a capital offense!
Zhou Yi pursed his lips, his eyes fell on the scale of the weighing pan.
He could see clearly that the red gold dust he put on it weighed two cents a catty, not nine taels and two cents as the other party said.
Be greedy for one or two!
The other party's corruption was aboveboard, and everyone withheld more than 10%, which had become a practice, and everyone dared not speak out.
Why!
He sighed softly in his heart, but his face remained unchanged, he nodded obediently, and bowed to retreat.
Zhou Yi has been quite diligent this month, and he has learned some skills. The production of Chijinsha has increased a lot, but there is still a big gap between the two catties and the full amount.
It seems that it is impossible to complete the task by panning for gold alone.
Once the novice period is over, if you fail to complete the task, you will be punished. If you miss a penny, you will be rewarded with a whip.
Even if you are a congenital master, you can't bear to be short of half a catty.
Every year, gold diggers die because of this.
Fortunately,
He wasn’t planning on panning for gold for a living, either.
"Zhou Yi."
After handing over the task, just as he was about to go back, the voice of the sea sounded.
The two knew each other on the way here, and the water area they are currently in charge of is not far away, and they often communicate with each other.
"The sea."
Zhou Yi stretched out his hand to signal:
"Go back together?"
"Yes." Na Hai nodded:
"I happen to have something to do with you."
"Oh!"
Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows. The other party had been taciturn, but today he seemed a little excited, which made him a little curious:
"What's up?"
"Talking while walking." Na Hai glanced left and right, and said in a low voice:
"Good job!"
"..." Zhou Yi glanced at the other party and nodded silently.
After walking far away and no one was around, Na Hai lowered his voice and said softly:
"Brother Zhou, do you plan to sell Chijinsha?"
"Sell Chijinsha?" Zhou Yi narrowed his eyes:
"If it wasn't for the lack of money, I would have bought red gold sand to complete the task. How can there be any extra red gold sand for sale?"
"Hey!"
Nahai held him, looked around again, and said in a low voice:
"I'm talking about selling it to outsiders. Their bid is three times the market price. If we change hands, we can make twice as much for nothing."
"do not."
Zhou Yi's expression froze, and he said:
"Na Hai, I advise you not to have such an idea. Every time you hand over Chijinsha, Ma Yu will make repeated orders on this matter."
"Once discovered..."
"It's death!"
"I understand." Na Hai said bitterly:
"But there are too few red sands in my place, and it is almost impossible to complete the task in full every month, and there is still pressure from above."
"If you don't want to think of a way, you will be dead after the novice period!"
Like Zhou Yi, he also joined a force, but unlike Zhou Yi's kind treatment, he needs to make offerings every month.
More pressure!
Nahai continued:
"What's more, in addition to panning for gold, you also need to practice five poisons and eight evils. Otherwise, strange beasts and fierce fish can kill you. There must be a way to make money."
"Is there no way out there?" Zhou Yi frowned:
"Kang Rong has a way to sell wood, especially the century-old bitter wood, which is very valuable."
The style of the Batu Tunnels has always been the survival of the fittest. As long as they do not commit taboos, they will not be punished even if they fight each other.
To gold diggers,
Even more so, they are treated like livestock, free-ranged, life-or-death, and they are replaced in batches every year, but they never feel distressed.
This is completely different from the imperial court outside. After all, the outside still pays attention to benevolence and morality, and will not put oppression on the bright side.
But it doesn't mean that people have no way out. The novice period and the sale and purchase of Chijinsha are all for the sake of allowing more gold diggers to survive.
After all, it is difficult to produce much output if people are driven to a dead end.
Many gold diggers report groups to keep warm, and they all have their own way. Everyone is doing their best to complete the task and survive the ten-year period.
become,
is a fish jumping over the dragon's gate.
failed,
Naturally, it is a dead end.
"My way is to hunt and kill strange beasts."
Na Hai lowered her eyebrows:
"People like me will definitely be sent out as bait to set traps to lure out strange beasts. Whether they can survive depends entirely on luck."
Zhou Yi shook his head.
Although the other party said it was pitiful, he did not intend to participate in it. Even if the relationship between the two is good, they still have to part ways.
Seeing that he could not move, Na Hai had to give up, turned around and called another person to stop him.
The person was also an acquaintance of the two, her name was Fu Rong, she was a barbarian woman with short stature and great strength, and the water area she was in charge of was adjacent to Zhou Yi.

Separated from Nahai, just returned to his residence when two unexpected guests knocked on the door.
Opening the door, Zhou Yi was taken aback:
"Director Horse."
The person who came was Ma Yu.
The other one seems to be Tao Nie. Like Ma Yu, he is an outer disciple of Batu Cave, but his strength has not proved to be wild.
Instead, after ten years of gold mining, slaves entered the outer door.
"Ok."
Ma Yu put his hands behind his back and said lightly:
"Have Hai looked for you?"
"This..." Zhou Yi paused slightly, and nodded:
"yes."
He left with the sea, this cannot be concealed from others, and there is no need to lie.
"Huh!" Ma Yu showed disdain, hummed lightly, and said:
"He should have invited you to sell Chijinsha privately, right?"
"No." Zhou Yi shuddered, shook his head and replied:
"Director Ma is too worried."
"Whether there is, you know very well in your heart." Ma Yu glanced coldly, and said in a muffled voice:
"I advise you to think clearly."
"Director Ma said yes." Zhou Yi lowered his head:
"Let's not say that Na Hai didn't invite me to sell Chijinsha privately, even if there was one, Zhou would never agree to it."
"Ok."
Ma Yu slowed down and nodded:
"I've been paying attention to you for a long time. You have a calm temper, neither arrogance nor impetuosity, and you are very well-behaved, which is very good."
Zhou Yi didn't say anything.
"But..." Ma Yu glanced at him and said:
"This time, you promise him."
"Ok?"
Zhou Yi raised his head.
"I need someone to find out who is selling Chijinsha privately, and who dares to buy things from our Batu Cave." Ma Yu said in a muffled voice:
"You're a good fit."
