Shuangjianfeng is a relatively famous area in the desolate land here. Firstly, because the terrain here is dangerous and the surrounding area is deserted. There is almost no trace of human activity as far as the eye can see.【】
The second reason is that there is a notorious gang here that has occupied the entire mountain range for a long time, making many people in the surrounding villages frightened but unable to do anything about it. This is because this has been a road in Huashan since ancient times. If you want to pass through this mountain range, you must start from this part of the central area.
It passes through a nearly thirty-meter-long area, surrounded by mountains and mountains.
This also caused the Shuangjian Gang to be arrogant and domineering. Not only did they occupy the entire hilltop for a long time, but they also set up checkpoints on the only road below. Everyone who wanted to pass through had to pay a poll tax. Enron started to take care of himself.
The earth emperor.
There is a row of buildings on the mountain. This is where the Shuangjian Gang is located. People can come and go from the checkpoints and squares standing guard all around. The number of people in this gang is not small.
Juyi Hall.
This is the meeting hall of the Shuangjian Gang. It is usually where the main figures of the gang discuss major events. Today, there are only three or four people in the empty hall, so the whole hall looks empty.
Sitting in the first place is a slightly fat young man. The hair on his head has been cut very short, standing up like a hedgehog. A scar on his forehead spreads to the corner of his eye like an earthworm, giving the whole person a
The momentum added a touch of fierceness.
The lower body is a pair of loose trousers, and the upper body is just a vest. The exposed muscles on the arms protrude like meat bumps, showing super explosive power everywhere.
There were three people sitting at the bottom of the hall, a young man who looked like a scholar, and two sturdy men. The three of them sat at the bottom with respectful expressions on their faces, as if they had great respect for the young man in the first place.
"Hu Zhuo, how did things go?"
The young man sitting at the top finally asked in a deep voice. His voice was low and sounded like muffled thunder in the hall.
A strong man sitting at the bottom suddenly stood up and clasped his fists, "Gang leader, half of them have been hollowed out, but the manpower seems to be a bit insufficient. The strong men we captured have lost too much during this time!"
The leader of the Shuangjian Gang frowned slightly, "How many young men have we captured during this period?"
"In the past month, we have captured a total of 849 strong men from several surrounding villages, but now they have died on the way out. Including the original ones, the number is less than 500! These few
Because we have to rush the process, many people can't hold on, and with a large number of people falling ill, the death toll is rising quickly!"
The young people nodded. It is true that all the overtime work for the sake of progress is filled with human lives. In their eyes, these laborers are no different from working animals.
"Gang leader, do you want to go to the surrounding villages to grab some more labor? I'm afraid the number of people will become less and less in the future!"
The young man waved his hand, "No need for the moment, that project will be completed soon. Speed up the progress again. Even if these people's lives are sacrificed for me, they must be completed by the end of this month. According to my estimate,
These days are very likely to be the day when that thing appears. You must get it then! I have been staying in this hellish place for nearly five years because of it. As long as I can get such a thing and hand it over to the people above,
By then my status will naturally skyrocket, and the status of my brothers will naturally rise with the tide. I have had enough of this damn place!"
The young man's words immediately made the emotions of the few people below rise. Since they followed the gang leader from that place a few years ago, and then traveled all the way to this desolate ghost place, living a life of chatting every day, everyone has already
We have had enough of this kind of life. If there was not a beautiful belief supporting everyone, I am afraid these people would have collapsed long ago.
Now I suddenly heard that these hard days are finally coming to an end. When the time comes, everything will be no longer a problem.
Thinking of this, everyone seemed to have arrived at the beautiful days in the future. Several people looked at each other and suddenly laughed, showing each other a knowing smile.
"I think, after filling in the lives of these five hundred people, I'm afraid it's about the time when that thing appears!" The scholar-looking young man said with a smile, "Sooner or later, they will be killed after this thing is completed.
If it falls, it will save us the trouble of doing it!"
"Well, that's good! Hu Zhuo, go to the scene again and let me know immediately if anything unusual happens!"
"yes!"
…
Stopping, Lin Yu forgot to take a look at the two peaks in front of him that were as sharp as swords and pointed vertically towards the sky. He couldn't help but sigh. Nature is really miraculous. It really looks like two swords soaring straight into the sky. They are called Double Sword Peaks.
It also deserves its name.
"The Shuangjian Gang should be on top of this mountain!"
After murmuring softly, Lin Yu stepped forward and continued to move forward, but his eyes carefully scanned the surrounding environment. He firmly remembered the surrounding terrain and environment in his heart.
Arriving at the foot of Shuangjian Peak Mountain, a checkpoint appeared in front of Lin Yu. A dozen people chatted casually around the checkpoint, and bursts of laughter occasionally broke out.
The few people who came over to Lin Yu had a non-surprised expression. Maybe it was because people passed by him often, or maybe it was because Lin Yu was just a teenager and didn't take it to heart.
"Stop!" A young man suddenly shouted loudly, and then came out of the hut on the side. Then he looked Lin Yu up and down, spit out the melon seed skins in his mouth, and then spoke with a smile.
"Pay the poll tax before crossing Twin Swords Peak!"
Lin Yu raised his head and glanced at the people around him, memorizing everyone's position, and then pretended to be confused and asked, "What's the head tax?"
The other party was stunned, "Hey! You are not from around here, so you don't understand the rules here?"
"5 If you want to pass the Twin Swords Peak, you must pay a poll tax? Twenty gold coins for adults and ten gold coins for teenagers! If you are responsible, you will not be able to pass!"
Lin Yu's face remained calm, he raised his head and asked in surprise, "So many? I don't have ten gold coins!"
"No! If not, please come back!" The other party waved his hand carelessly, not paying attention to Lin Yu at all.
"What should I do if I don't want to pay but want to go?" Lin Yu suddenly lowered his head and asked in a deep voice.
"Oh?" The other party was stunned and didn't expect Lin Yu to ask this. He glanced at Lin Yu and suddenly showed a sneer, "Then you don't have the ability! This is Shuangjian Peak. You can die alone. Shuangjian Peak. Is it possible?
Haven't you heard of it? It means that if you want to pass through this place alone, it is the same as seeking death!"
After saying that, he waved his hand, and several people who had been paying attention to this area immediately gathered around him!
