As Cai Min went deeper, he faintly began to hear the voices of people talking. The voices were many and mixed, like many people.
At this time, the tunnel that had been extending had reached the end, but there was a door on the side. Cai Min pushed the door open and heard the faint sound that had just been heard, suddenly amplified dozens of times.
Following Cai Min into the door, I saw a street about six or seven meters wide, with many people setting up stalls on both sides of the street and shouting.
Although the light here is not as bright as the outside world, it is still clear. It seems that some kind of light refraction method is used to guide the natural light from the outside world underground.
Chu Yuan discovered that there were some lenses hanging in the sky above the underground city. These lenses refracted the sun's rays into a beam of light, which finally shined on a astigmatism mirror.
"This is an underground city." Cai Min explained: "The workers live underground, and we rebels are also hiding in this underground city."
Walking through the crowd, Chu Yuan found that most of the people here were wearing tattered clothes, some were even naked, and their private parts were exposed casually without caring.
These people seem to be beggars, or refugees.
"Refugees are not allowed to appear on Flower Island, so they all rushed here." Cai Min looked at those people with sympathy and said.
These people were lying on the ground in twos and threes. Even if the crowd passed by, they didn't care. After walking for a while, Chu Yuan saw several groups.
I thought to myself: "These people have hands and feet, can't they be self-reliant?"
"Hey, they were all forced to come here because they couldn't afford the exorbitant taxes." Cai Min looked at Chu Yuan and said, "Do you know how many spiritual stones those bastards from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance need to practice? The fixed amount of taxes every year has already been
It makes it unaffordable for most people, and sometimes even increases taxes.”
Chu Yuan still doesn't know much about the distribution of forces in Piaomiao Sea. When he was on Liufang Island, he heard Shi Zhu say that this area belongs to the sphere of influence of Tianji Sect, but what about the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance?
"You also know that the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is a world government formed by the union of seventy-two top sects. Their demand for spiritual stones is like a glutton's demand for delicious food. They are insatiable."
"Under the dictatorial rule of these people, ordinary people who could have been self-sufficient have to work hard to collect spiritual stones that they cannot use."
Hearing what Cai Min said, Chu Yuan thought to himself: "It seems that this world is still dominated by monks."
It is not difficult to understand when you consider that monks use spiritual power to power energy weapons, and the damage caused is much greater than that of ordinary people using demon pills to power energy weapons.
Ordinary monks have never learned any exercises or martial arts, so their spiritual power can only play a role in strengthening their bodies and prolonging their lives.
This type of monks usually have pure spiritual roots and do not even have dual spiritual roots. This shows that the restrictions on monks in the Misty Sea are also very strict.
Chu Yuan had secretly observed that as long as there were spiritual power fluctuations in his body, they were all pure spiritual root monks, and Zhao Jiuyue also discovered this.
Because of this, the number of monks is not large, coupled with the strict control of the martial arts by the upper echelons of the cultivation sect, resulting in low-level monks being unable to possess martial arts and martial arts, so that these monks, in front of ordinary mortals, are not very capable.
Many advantages.
But there are also people who have witnessed the horror of monks, such as Cai Min, who once saw with his own eyes the high-level monks of Tianjimen using spells to attack. The power was not less than that of energy weapons, but the attack range was wider and more precise.
"For us ordinary people, the spirit stones are useless, but we have to pay for them. This is simply exploitation." Cai Min said with such indignation that Chu Yuan even felt moved and sympathized with the refugees here.
In Kyushu, although monks and mortals live together, there is not much communication between them. The mortals live the lives of mortals, and the monks live the lives of monks, often without interfering with each other.
But in this misty sea, because of the violent chaotic spiritual energy, there is no spiritual energy from heaven and earth that can be directly absorbed. The monks can only rely on spiritual stones to absorb spiritual energy. However, their personal abilities are limited and the spiritual stones they can harvest are also limited, so they want ordinary people to help find them.
.
In the beginning, the relationship between monks and ordinary people was still a cooperative relationship. The two made transactions to get what they needed, but later it turned into monks just asking for it, legalizing this behavior, and turning spiritual stones into universal items.
currency.
This makes people in the entire Piaomiao Sea rush for the spirit stones.
"Indeed!" When Chu Yuan was on Liufang Island before, he felt that Shi Zhu was worried about handing over the spirit stones. He also saw that Xu Shijie and others were willing to risk their lives to rob the spirit stones. If not for the sake of living a more dignified life.
, who wants to do this.
However, these refugees lying in the underground city at this moment, did these people choose to lie down? Or are there other reasons?
Seemingly sensing Chu Yuan's doubts, Cai Min said: "These refugees originally went to work in the mining area, but they were unable to continue working because they were sick."
Chu Yuan found that these people's breathing was weak and their faces were extremely ugly. It must be what Cai Min said.
"Since I got sick due to work, why is there no one responsible for treating the disease?" Zhao Jiuyue suddenly said.
Cai Min shook his head and said: "Instead of spending money to treat these workers, it is better to drive them away directly. This saves worry and effort. Besides, there are so many people in Piaomiaohai, there is no shortage of labor, so just go and rob them if there is no labor."
"Where to grab it?" Chu Yuan was a little confused.
"Of course you can't rob openly. These jobs are all operated by an underground organization, which secretly buys and sells people." When Cai Min said this, her face was full of resentment, as if she was the one being sold.
"Every year, many people disappear mysteriously, and most of them are kidnapped by people from this underground organization and sent to other places to work as coolies."
"That's too much." Zhao Jiuyue said suddenly.
Chu Yuan knew that Zhao Jiuyue's compassion was overflowing, but compared to the cruelty of the world of cultivation, what was this?
In Kyushu, monks draw swords against each other if they disagree with each other, and people die every day because of this. Isn't this too much?
It can only be said that there is evil everywhere, but there is also good.
Chu Yuan is not a philosopher, he seems to have a thorough understanding of these things, but from the perspective of a bystander, he is more rational than others.
Cai Min looked at Zhao Jiuyue and said with a smile: "Yeah, it's too much, so we set up a resistance army with members all over the world. As long as the time is right, we will resist and overthrow these bastards."
"Well, it must be overturned." Zhao Jiuyue seemed to be brainwashed.
Or when you see those pitiful refugees, you feel angry.
"Junior brother, what do you think?"
"It doesn't matter what I think, as long as you think it is fine!"
Zhao Jiuyue was amused, and the gloom on his face disappeared.
I followed Cai Min for a while, passing through the busy city, and then came to a secluded alley and entered a lonely courtyard.
Chu Yuan felt that this underground city was so big, and he didn't know how many years it had taken to develop to reach such a scale.
"This was originally a spiritual mine. It was slowly mined and an underground city was formed." Cai Min said and opened the door of the small courtyard. This chapter has been completed!
