Beiyin Great Sage - Chapter 587
Chapter 587 Gold Rush
“Crack!”
With a crisp sound, the brand-new handcuffs were clasped around his wrists.
This is the symbol of a gold digger.
It also declares that the owner of the handcuffs belongs to Batu Caves, and life and death are involuntary.
The whole body of the handcuffs is forged from refined iron and weighs tens of kilograms, which is quite a burden for a strong barbarian.
Thinking that he may not be able to untie it in the next ten years, his complexion is even more ugly.
“Brother Zhou.”
Kang Rong said in a low voice:
“Let’s not be too far away later, and we will take care of each other.”
“it is good!”
Although he doesn’t know the reason, but in this unfamiliar place, he can only choose to believe in the only other party he can communicate with.
And he was penniless and had nothing to worry about.
Walking across the square, not far ahead, the sound of the rumbling water has already entered my ears, and as the distance approaches, the sound of the water becomes louder and louder.
“Wow…”
Turn ahead.
A waterfall with an unknown height came into view.
Under the waterfall,
is a river.
On the river channel about 20 to 30 feet wide, a simple, huge and heavy double-decker dragon boat was waiting quietly.
“Get on board!”
Han Leyed let out a muffled snort, tapped the wooden stick in his hand on the ground, and the whole person flew straight and horizontally for more than ten feet as if he was walking on the air.
Floating down on the boat.
Good light work!
Zhou Yi’s eyes lit up.
Although he is not good at lightness kung fu, he can outshine many masters in the true energy state with all his strength, but he can jump six or seven feet away at most.
And bursting out with full force, it will naturally not be elegant.
Even the two innate masters he met had never revealed such a means of walking like riding the wind.
“Clatter…”
A ladder was thrown from the boat and landed on the river bank. A group of “gold diggers” were driven onto the boat one after another by the Batu Cave disciples.
Wait until there is no one below, the ladder is put away, and the giant ship drives down.
…
“Gerzy!”
“exist.”
“You are in charge of this paragraph.”
“yes!”
“What’s your name?”
“Hurulah!”
“The next paragraph is up to you.”
“yes.”
…
There was constant drinking on the boat.
Accompanied by a personal name being registered, one by one ‘gold digger slaves’ were kicked off the ship and were responsible for panning for gold in this area.
Zhou Yi watched the scene thoughtfully.
What the ‘gold digger slave’ has to do is really digging for gold.
It’s just that this gold is not that gold. In this river named Jinyuan River, there is a kind of red gold sand called “Chi Jin”.
This object is extremely important to Batu Caves.
Because the red gold sand is mixed in the sediment, it is very inconspicuous, and it is not easy to extract it from it, so there is a saying of a gold digger.
Every gold digger can receive two things when they disembark.
A shovel and a dustpan.
Things that seem to be very ordinary are also mixed with the methods of a gas refiner. The shovel is extremely hard, and the dustpan can last for a long time.
but…
Since Chijinsha flows downstream, it must be the upper reaches where the water flow is relatively gentle.
Same reason.
Where the waterway bends and twists, there are often red gold sands stranded, and such places are relatively more advantageous.
Many people understand this truth, so all the gold diggers who are arranged in the winding places with many waterways show joy on their faces.
The person arranged downstream has a dull expression.
The Jinyuan River does not go straight south, but is distributed in the mountains and forests like a spider web. It is said that there are golden sands in the waters of three hundred miles.
So every other period, someone will choose the upstream, and someone will choose the downstream.
“you!”
“what is it call?”
The voice sounded, Zhou Yi’s brows tightened subconsciously, and he walked out of the crowd when he heard the sound:
“Zhou Yi.”
“Ok.”
The Batu Cave disciple nodded expressionlessly, and with a wave of his hand, the two-piece set of shovel and dustpan was thrown at Zhou Yi’s feet, murmuring.
Although Zhou Yi couldn’t understand, he could guess the general meaning. It was nothing more than a warning to hand over Chijinsha on time, otherwise he would be punished.
He got off the boat obediently with his things, watched the giant ship go away, glanced around, and couldn’t help sighing.
here.
Still going to settle down temporarily.
According to Kang Rong, the Batu Caves have supreme authority in this area of thousands of miles, and there is almost no possibility for escaped slaves to survive.
No one dared to take in escaped slaves from Batu Caves.
And the handcuffs on the hands have the effect of tracking and positioning. Once they are damaged or leave the designated area of the Batu Caves, they will be known to the Batu Caves disciples.
The inner disciples of Batu Caves are all Qi refiners.
Exterior doors.
There are also many Tianman comparable to the innate master.
so.
Zhou Yi’s plan to escape as soon as his health recovered came to nothing.
However, being a gold slave is not without benefits. Many of the people who came here voluntarily came here to seek a future.
Be able to be a gold digger with good physique.
Don’t you see that the weak ones were directly swallowed by Hanle Yede’s spell, which can also understand why the barbarians who are traveling with him are so good in physique.
Those with poor physique can’t be a gold digger.
As the ruler of the Wanli region, joining the Batu Caves is the dream of many barbarians, and becoming a gold digger is one of the ways.
And it is the least demanding one.
As long as the physique meets the requirements and insists on paying Chijinsha in full for ten years, no matter how high or low the cultivation level is, you can become an outer disciple of Batu Caves.
But is it really that simple?
Batu Caves recruits gold diggers at least twice a year, and the number is at least 500, but very few can become outer disciples.
Why is the attrition so severe?
What happened during?
Zhou Yi has no way of knowing, but he can guess that getting money is not as simple as imagined.
“That’s all!”
“If you come, you will be safe. I have been looking for the fairy fate. Now that the fairy fate is in front of me, there is no reason to take the risk of running away.”
“I don’t know, when will the so-called inheritance of skills be given?”

One mile of waterway.
It is about two feet wide, with a thirty-degree bend in the middle, which is Zhou Yi’s complicated waters.
The terrain is not good.
I can tell.
This curved zone was not formed congenitally, but was formed by someone digging waterways day after day, so that it is convenient for gold panning.
There are also sieves and wooden frames for filtering sediment on the river bank.
Not even far away, there is a simple thatched cottage, fully equipped.
Zhou Yi inspected the vicinity, came to the river beach barefoot, randomly grabbed a handful of sand and rubbed it in his hands, and actually saw a grain of golden sand.
The red sand, which is more golden than ordinary sand, has a unique beauty.
It doesn’t seem hard to the touch.
“Shua!”
The sword flashed.
Red Sands split into two.
The fact that the red sand, not much thinner than a strand of hair, was cut open from it, is enough to prove the extent of Zhou Yi’s saber skills.
But it can also show that Chijinsha is not hard to be rare.
…
Hold a shovel in hand, dig a shovelful of mud and put it on the dustpan, hold the dustpan in each hand while shaking in the water, and use the water to wash away the mud.
After a while.
A few grains of reddish-yellow red sand were picked out.
“Dah la la…”
A little bit of sand rolled back and forth in the stone mortar, Zhou Yi knelt down and twisted it, shaking his head speechlessly.
“Three days!”
“I got so much red gold dust in total, at most one catty a month, unless I take away the rest time, otherwise it is impossible.”
“Could it be that there is something wrong with my skills?”
This is the greatest possibility.
Compared to growing mushrooms, he seems to have no talent in panning for gold, and panning for gold is purely physical work, and the level of cultivation has little effect.
As long as you can endure loneliness, ordinary people can do the same.
Zhou Yi has enough patience, but he doesn’t want to waste time on this.
“Da da…”
Footsteps sounded.
Zhou Yi raised his head when he heard the sound, and saw two barbarians walking out of the forest.
Compared to the gold digger slaves I have seen before, these two dresses are more regular, and in some respects they are no different from the people of Liang State.
The two looked at each other, and one of them stepped forward and reached out to grab the red gold sand in the stone mortar.
Ok?
Zhou Yi’s face darkened.
