Beiyin Great Sage

  Chapter 41 Brain collapse

"breathe…"

  According to the formula of Sanyuanzhengfa, the source force is carried in an orderly manner in the body, and during the ups and downs of the chest and abdomen, countless strands of force flow along the muscles.

"drink!"

  Drinking in a low voice, Zhou Jia's body tensed up.

  The strength scattered among the muscles condensed, like thousands of steel wires condensed into one strand, rushing along the fascia and towards the arm.

   Shield strike!

   "Hoo..."

  The shield clasped on the arm rushed forward suddenly, and the ground changed from static to rapid in a few feet, and even afterimages appeared, and it hit the wall heavily.

   "Peng!"

  A wave of air visible to the naked eye came out from the contact point between the shield and the wall, sweeping across the surroundings, and pots and pans rattled for a while.

  The huge power also makes the wooden thorns and unevenness on the wall smooth and flat.

  Zhou Jia moved his position, bowed his body again, retracted his back, charged up and exploded, using the shield as a heavy hammer to continuously bombard the wall.

  After cutting with a knife and axe, the walls will definitely be uneven.

  Such a shield strike is to flatten the wall.

  In the tree house, there were constant crashing sounds, and the huge force caused the giant sycamore to tremble slightly, and a lot of snow fell from the treetops like rain.

I do not know how long it has been.

"Well…"

   Zhou Jia's eyes moved, thoughtful, his arms suddenly turned, and the shield hit his side.

   "Peng!"

   This time, his movements looked quite relaxed, but the wall sank silently, and there was no violent collision sound.

   Sure enough!

  Shield Attack Proficiency (1/120)

   "Finally..." Zhou Jia breathed out a long breath, his spirits uplifted:

   "Shield attack has finally reached proficiency."

   As for the martial skill Shield Reverse, it also broke through proficiency and reached the proficiency level a few days ago, and it can be used flexibly and freely.

  The promotion of these two martial arts also gave him a certain sense of security.

   "Brother Zhou!"

  Outside the house, Zhao Gang’s voice came:

   "Are you at home?"

   "Here!" Zhou Jia said in a voice, put on a fur coat and cotton cap to keep out the cold, and pushed open the door:

"How did you come?"

  Although the cold moon is about to pass, it is still the time when the mountains are covered by heavy snow. Huojiabao will not be affected except for the inner city, and people in the outer city hardly go out.

   One by one, they are like wintering animals, living on the supplies they have stored in advance.

   "Crackling...creaking..."

  Zhao Gang wore thick leather boots, step by step in the snow:

   "I have an errand, Deacon Wei asked me to ask, would you like to go?"

   "Oh!" Zhou Jia stepped aside to let the other party in:

   "What errand?"

   "Few things, more money, closer to home." Zhao Gang shook off the snow on his body in front of the door, and said with a smile:

   "Isn't this what Brother Zhou has always wanted?"

   "Really?" Zhou Jia's eyes lit up.

  In order to store enough food and cultivation needs for Han Yue, he has very little savings left on hand, and he really needs an emergency.

  Originally, there was a wish, but he wanted to join Liurentang.

  The relationship between Liurentang and the Fish and Dragon Society has always been at odds. In the end, Fatty Han persuaded him to stay and promised to introduce him to an errand before he gave up.

   And this wait is now.

   "Really." Zhao Gang entered the room, drank a bowl of hot water to warm up his body, and then said:

   "Brother Zhou also knows that we Yulong will mainly do... that convenient business, but there are also some other businesses."

   "This time, there is a lack of a guard at the black jade mine, and there will be two source stones per month."

   "Guard?" Zhou Jia took out the jug:

"tell me the story."

   "Some people go to the mine to mine ore every day. For the convenience of management, there is a supervisor and two guards in charge." Zhao Gang said:

   "A few days ago, someone found a guard dead in his tree house. He didn't know who offended him and was killed. Now the mine will start immediately."

"so…"

   "Deacon Wei asked me to come and ask you."

   The Deacon Wei Zhou Jia he was talking about had seen people who came from the earth more than ten years ago and were at the same time as Situ Lei. Fatty Han and Zhao Gang followed his path.

  Zhou Jia squinted his eyes, thought about it and nodded heavily:

"I do!"

  If possible, he would rather stay in the room and practice until the next time a newcomer from the earth appears, but he is so shy.

   Can't help it at all!

  ...

  The mine is not big, covering an area of ​​just over a thousand square meters. There are a few wooden houses standing under the trees, and a flat area for placing ore is all.

certainly.

   Mainly mines.

  The dark hole goes deep into the mountain, and the black jade ore produced inside is a rare bonding mineral, which is necessary for forging many weapons.

   There is also a black black jade, which is very valuable.

   "Brother Zhou, what we have to do every day is to see if there are any monsters intruding around, and by the way, check whether the absenteeism is hidden."

   "Other registration and delivery are done by dedicated people."

  The speaker has a simple and honest face, short stature, and a large leather jacket that is very uncoordinated on his body. He is introducing the mine with a smile:

   "This place is not big, and it is close to the station, so there are not many people, except you and me, Director Cao, who usually rest."

   "Now that the cold moon has not passed, work has just started, and there are fewer things to do."

  This person's surname is Lu Mingshan, he is a fifth-rank cultivation man, and he has great hard work. He is another guard.

   "Cao Guanshi." Zhou Jia lowered his voice:

   "Don't you usually come out?"

  There is one supervisor, two guards in the mine, and more than a dozen other people doing miscellaneous deliveries, and the most absenteeism is as many as two or three hundred.

   As a guard, Zhou Jia's status is not low.

  But just such a person came, and the steward didn't even show up, so casual?

   "This..." Lu Shan opened his mouth, with a strange expression on his face:

   "Guan Cao likes to be quiet, so he really doesn't come out very often."

   "Of course, you and I are subordinates, and we just do our job well. It's not our turn to talk about what the manager is going to do."

  He seemed to mean something, more like a warning, making Zhou Jia more confused, he would not be played by Zhao Gang.

   "That's right." After thinking for a while, Lu Shan continued:

   "Cao Guanshi likes to knock people's brains out, especially whoever does something wrong or offends him, usually will be knocked out."

   "Uh..." Zhou Jia laughed dryly:

   "This hobby is quite unique."

   "Really?" Lu Shan's eyes sank:

   "It's better not to try."

  While speaking, it was time to quit work, and one by one, black-clad absentees came out of the mine, each carrying a cloth bag.

   Someone came forward to count and register.

   "Beate, thirteen catties!"

   "Lao Yangtou, nine catties, a little less today!"

   "Fu Gu, twenty one catties."

   "..."

  Zhou Jia's eyes moved slightly, and he paused for a while on the body named Fu Gu. A total of absenteeism was more than ten catties, but he weighed twenty-one catties, which was nearly twice as much.

   "He is a mine owner, and the mine is very messy when he gets out. With him, he can save a lot of trouble, and this is also acquiesced by Cao Guanshi." Seeing that his expression was different, Lu Shan introduced in a low voice.

"Um."

  Zhou Jia nodded. He was new here, just curious and didn't think too much about it.

"Wait a moment!"

  At this time, a hoarse voice sounded from behind the two:

   "The young man just now, come here."

  The two turned around and looked over, and saw a thin middle-aged man walking towards him, dressed in a Confucian shirt and holding a long-stem cigarette holder.

  Lu Shan bowed and greeted him hastily:

   "Steward!"

   "En." Cao Guanshi nodded, ignored Zhou Jia who was greeting him, and stood still in front of the tense young absentee.

"Ah…"

  The corner of his mouth was slightly raised, and he patted the young man lightly with one hand.

"Snapped!"

  A shiny black ore fell out from the young man's crotch.

   "Black Xuanyu!" Lu Shan's complexion changed drastically:

   "What courage!"

   "Forgive me! Forgive me!" The young absentee turned pale, knelt down on his knees and kowtowed desperately to Guanshi Cao, his forehead was bruised:

   "The villain's younger sister caught cold in the cold moon, and urgently needs money to buy medicine to save her life. The villain...the villain really has no choice. Cao Guanshi, please forgive me!"

   "Don't be nervous." Guanshi Cao chuckled:

   "The pain will be gone soon."

   As he spoke, he tapped the young man on the head with the cigarette stick.

   "Peng!"

  A depression appears in the middle of the forehead.

  The young man's body froze, his eyes lost all intelligence, and his lifeless body slumped to the ground.

   Brain collapse?

  Zhou Jia's heart sank, just in time to see Cao Guanshi looking coldly in his eyes.
