I am a fairy

Chapter 118: Suanni (Additional Update)
Many days ago.

As the Tiangong clan's actions became more and more powerful, more and more people came to worship him and ask for Yunzhongjun's protection, praying for good weather and no disasters.

These scenes were all seen by Jiang Chao as they were broadcast on the screen.

Jiang Chao said: "These people don't know that praying to gods is unreliable. You have to work hard yourself, right?"

Wangshu looked at Jiang Chao and said, "The gods are indeed unreliable."

Jiang Chao pondered for a moment and said, "We need to think of a way to get them to take action themselves. They need to know that they have to save themselves from disasters with their own hands, and not just rely on the gods for help."

Wangshu looked like he saw through Jiang Chao: "You just don't want to move."

Jiang Chao's face was stern and serious: "I am telling them the truth of this world."

Although the identity of Yun Zhongjun was initially used to assist in achieving the goal of restoring technological power, it was also to make it more convenient to collect resources.

However, seeing so many people coming to worship Yun Zhongjun and time running out.

Jiang Chao also felt some pressure.

Jiang Chao asked Wangshu: "Are the current lime, sand, steel bars and bricks sufficient?"

Wangshu: "It's enough for the mid-term project, but the later stage is not ready yet."

Jiang Chao: "What's the problem?"

Wangshu: “Coal can only be shipped out in small quantities at the moment.”

The Black Asphalt Hell has already started construction and operation, but currently there is a problem: how to transport the coal?

Wangshu: "The Black Lithops Hell is far from the Yangtze River, but not far from the swamps and tributaries of the Yangtze River. As long as it can be transported there, it can be transported by ship."

Jiang Chao asked: "Then how do we solve this distance problem?"

Wangshu: "We still have a dragon, we can just send it out."

Jiang Chao: "What dragon?"

Wangshu: "Suanni?"

Suanni is an ancient mythical beast in legend.

It looks like a lion and is said to like fireworks. It is also one of the dragon's sons.

Just like when he went to the Iron Sand Hell before, Jiang Chao once again headed towards the Black Asphalt Hell, changing his lazy style.

Jiang Chao would be lazy if he could, but he would still try his best to do the things he had to do.

Especially some relatively important things.

He felt that it would be better to see it with his own eyes, not only relying on Wangshu's report, but also the pictures and information sent by the gods.

"Ba is coming down."

Jiang Chao trained for many days under Wangshu's guidance. The courses became more and more arduous day by day. Jiang Chao's waist was sore, his legs were painful, and his arms were weak.

I boarded the boat and went out for a stroll, and suddenly I felt that it was quite nice to go out.

Jiang Chao followed the Yangtze River all the way up.

On the way, passing outside Lucheng, he could see the county town, Luyang County and the port. It was his first time here.

Jiang Chao suddenly thought: "I don't think I've ever been to the city to take a look."

Wangshu: "When the time comes, hang a 1,000-watt headlight behind your head, and I guarantee that no one will dare to look directly at you. Then bring a legion of generals with black helmets and ponytails, and I guarantee that no one will dare to stand and greet you."

Jiang Chao: "Can't I just enter the city in an ordinary and unremarkable way?"

Wangshu: "What if he was stabbed to death by an ordinary dung fork on the roadside?"

Jiang Chao: "Can you hope for me to be well?"

Wangshu: "Danger is everywhere, be careful."

Next to a lake deep in the swamp, a small ferry was built at some point. There was a cement dock for mooring boats on the ferry, and there were a lot of black-looking things falling on the dock. They were coal slag that fell during transportation.

Get on the ferry and head towards the shore.

On the way, Jiang Chao saw a square area surrounded by wood, and he didn't know what it was used for.

After getting ashore, Jiang Chao saw a mandrill squatting on the ground, and next to it was a rickshaw that looked like a converted dump truck.

Jiang Chao sat on it. It was of course good not to have to walk.

The dump truck was not suitable for riding, but it was not the first time Jiang Chao had ridden one, and he looked very skilled when he sat on it.

On the way forward.

Jiang Chao saw obvious traces of the intelligent engineering vehicle, and a road appeared directly where the engineering vehicle plowed.

In the middle of the road, Jiang Chao also saw a track connecting from the ferry to the depths.

Jiang Chao: "It is indeed a train."

Wangshu: "It's Suanni. Don't say we've been exposed. We are gods and we need to have a sense of ceremony."

Jiang Chao looked at the track, which was made of wood.

Jiang Chao: "Why are the tracks made of wood again? Aren't they the same as the tracks for mine carts, just a little wider?"

Wangshu: "Where can we get the resources to build rails now? We'll just have to make do with it!"

Jiang Chao: "Can this wood bear it?"

Wangshu: "Let's try it first."

As we walked, we entered a valley.

Surrounded by mountains on all sides, there is a mountain pass in the distance, which is also the only road, and the track extends into it.

Wangshu spoke again: "Wait, wait."

Jiang Chao: "What's wrong?"

Wangshu: “It’s coming.”

Jiang Chao asked knowingly, "What's coming?"

Wangshu said with a hint of showing off: "The little train is about to start!"

Jiang Chao said again: "You also said it was a train!"

Wangshu said, "It's boring."

Jiang Chao got off and stood beside the track looking inside.

Under the moonlight.

A dark and rugged steam locomotive came from a distance, passed through the mountain pass covered with green plants on the cliff, passed through the valley with laid tracks, and slowly drove towards Jiang Chao.

The locomotive engine, which was made like a lion's head, had a pair of eyes that seemed to be full of anger. There was only one chimney, but two were made, one on the left and one on the right, which looked like two ears.

Smoke was coming out of both ears and flames could be vaguely seen burning inside the locomotive.

Inside the front of the train, a monkey could be vaguely seen sweating profusely as he drove this Suanni-type steam locomotive into the distance.

Behind it were the buckets of dump trucks, connected together, rising and falling, and bumping away into the distance.

At first glance, it really looks like a dragon.

It was just so bumpy that one was afraid it would fall apart at any second.

Just like this, the mythical beast "Suanni" slowly passed in front of Jiang Chao, at least it seemed slow to him.

At the same time, he made a voice like an old man.

“Praise, praise, praise, praise!”

Although the noise was loud and large, enough to scare people of this era out of their wits, in Jiang Chao's eyes it felt like an eighty-year-old man coughing.

Although he had expected this, Jiang Chao knew that this time it would definitely be another beggar version.

But this beggar's behavior was still beyond Jiang Chao's imagination.

The huge head that seemed extremely ferocious to ordinary people seemed a little miniature to Jiang Chao. Moreover, the cargo box connected to the back of the small train seemed familiar to Jiang Chao. Wasn't this the cargo box that was discarded in the Huangquan base? They were all brought here for recycling.

Later, when the shaman saw "Suanni", he was shocked and frightened. He stood there speechless for a long time, looking at the departing back of "Suanni".

At this moment, Jiang Chao also stood there for a long time looking at the departing figure of "Suanni", but his state of mind was completely different.

After a long time, Jiang Chao finally spoke.

"Wangshu!"

When Wangshu heard Jiang Chao calling his name, he responded immediately.

"what happened?"

Jiang Chao: "As I recall, we fell from the space station in the sky, right?"

Wangshu: "Your brain is acting up again, have you forgotten all this?"

Jiang Chao shook his head: "I think we are also people of the future, the kind that belongs to the sea of ​​stars."

"Why, all you get are things like this."

To be honest, Jiang Chao had never had such a crappy train. This thing only existed in textbooks and movies. Even the steam locomotives in the movies were not as crappy as this one.

Wangshu: "Because of poverty."

Jiang Chao: "How can I get rich?"

Wangshu: "Send more villains to hell (factory)."

Jiang Chao: "I think it's possible that your weather forecast AI skill points are all wrong, and your thinking model is also weird."

Wangshu: "I don't want to be told this by an abnormally lazy administrator who steals my computer all day to play games and has no ambition to make progress."

Jiang Chao: "This is normal for me."

Next.

Jiang Chao did not move forward, but waited there.

Soon he saw the "Suanni" train unloading the cargo at the ferry, then it started its return journey and came to him again.

Although Jiang Chao said he disliked this little train, he still wanted to get on it and take a ride.

Finally, we took this train to the Black Asphalt Hell.
-
In the deep mountains and wilderness with no one around.

A pitch-black passage opened up on the hillside, dark as a gaping mouth of a god or demon.

The wooden frame extends from the outside to the inside, going down continuously.

"Zizzsssssssssss!"

"Dong dong dong dong."

“Bang… bang… bang bang bang…”

in the dark.

All sorts of strange noises continued to be heard until the end, where you could see lights coming from below.

Some strange things are moving inside. There is no one inside, but they are constantly operating.

Both noisy.

And quiet.

There is an extremely weird atmosphere.

However, in another level of the world, this place seems extremely lively, and some things that cannot be called human are whispering in the darkness.

Inside is the hell called black asphalt.

The virtual world created by Huangquan Base.

In this dark world, a group of evil ghosts dressed in ragged clothes and with ferocious masks on their faces that they cannot remove are controlling the magic tools given to them by ghosts and gods and working day and night.

They expertly mined the underworld substance called black asphalt, whispering to each other in hoarse throats.

"When will it be over?"

"How many years of hard labor do I have to do?"

"How long have we been here?" "Ten days, a month, or longer?"

"There is no sun, moon or stars here, so who knows how much time has passed."

"Aren't we ghosts?"

"They said that they would make up for our sins, and then they would let us pass through the gates of hell and enter the real underworld."

"Can you believe what ghosts say?"

"That's not a ghost, it's a ghost."

in the dark.

They can't even see other ghosts, or they are far away from each other.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, the other evil ghosts in this small hell could hear him, which was unbelievable.

But gradually, I got used to it.

This also seems to prove that they have truly become ghosts, and this is the real underworld, the realm of lonely ghosts and the gods of the underworld.

A ghost asked: "What is your sin?"

Someone responded from the darkness: "Murder for life, sentence of 100 years."

The ghost asked again: "What about you?"

A ghost cried and laughed: "I have three lives on my hands, three hundred and fifty years."

The ghost was very surprised: "A human life lasts 100 years, how come you only live 350 years?"

The ghost who was crying and laughing said, "The ghost said that I was notorious for my evil deeds, so I was punished for several crimes and sentenced to an extra fifty years."

A lamenting voice was heard: "Three hundred and fifty years, I'm afraid my soul will be scattered and I won't be able to survive. It's better to be dead than to live like this."

The ghost sneered and said, "When the ghosts and gods asked you if you wanted a wish, what did you choose?"

We couldn't continue the conversation today, and the topic was simply over.

The laws in hell are very strict, and their every word and action seem to be constrained by some unknown power. They cannot do anything, and as soon as they take action, they are immediately bound by the laws of the underworld.

Even under the rules of the underworld, they couldn't even say some words.

But it is precisely because of the strict laws that they have mastered the rules.

As long as they don't make mistakes, the ghosts and gods have not appeared randomly recently. They no longer appear to whip and punish them like before, allowing these people to feel a little freedom.

"So what if we enter the netherworld? What's there?"

"Maybe you can enjoy happiness?"

"It could be reincarnation."

"Can we really wait for hundreds of years?"

The evil ghost who was said to be dead before was named Ghost Six. He was also the first evil ghost to come to this black asphalt hell.

In other words, he is the first real ghost.

Since this ghost disciple named Gui Liu was thrown into the black asphalt hell as a true evil ghost and managed to maintain his life and survive, it also meant that Wangshu's experiment was successful.

So, next.

One after another, the ghost disciples were interrogated by the judge of ghosts and gods, and were asked whether they should die or pay for their sins.

The ghost god raised the whip of thunder and said, "Would you like it?"

The ghost knelt down and kowtowed: "I wish!"

These ghost followers all speak nonsense, but they are all strong-willed.

But when death really comes.

But they were unwilling to be torn apart and chose to go to hell.

Now, more than twenty evil spirits have been imprisoned in this small black asphalt hell. However, the term "imprisonment" does not mean imprisonment in the conventional sense. No one knows how big this black asphalt hell is. They cannot see the exit and do not know the way out.

Even if I wanted to escape, I had no direction.

That's it.

These evil spirits controlled the "magic tools" and became more and more skilled under the guidance of the system. They dug, mined, and washed coal up and down, and they were doing a booming business.

"Clang."

With a crisp sound, the elevator went up.

Gui Liu controlled the magic weapon and transported the black asphalt dug out from the ground to the upper layer little by little, and then piled the black asphalt on the upper layer to form a mountain.

All the black asphalt they dug out these days was piled up there, and they didn't know what to do with it.

Or is this simply to punish them and has no meaning?

In the past, this was a boring and monotonous job.

There was no one there, and nothing had changed. The entire black asphalt hell and its prisoners seemed to have been completely forgotten.

But this time is different.

Guiliu pushed the cart up there, his eyes suddenly widened, and then he fell to the ground.

"what?"

“Monster…monster…monster…”

Guiliu crawled backwards.

The eyes reflected a monster spewing flames and thick smoke, coming from afar with tremendous ferocity, and wherever it passed, there was fire and smoke.

Fire burst from its mouth and thick smoke billowed from its ears.

From his ferocious appearance, one can tell at a glance that he is a formidable demon. He would probably kill a little devil like him in one bite.

However, before he could say the word "魔" after "妖魔", Gui Liu covered his mouth.

"Woo~"

Because he saw a figure of a god emitting spiritual light coming riding on something that was spewing fire and thick smoke.

He understood instantly.

That thing is not a monster at all; it is clearly a god’s mount, a divine beast.

The immortal sat on the mythical beast that looked like a dragon and a lion, crossed the darkness little by little, and landed in the small hell of black lithosphere.

At this time, lights appeared in the eyes in the dark cave. The evil ghosts in the darkness heard Gui Liu's cry, and they also ran up one by one riding their magic weapons, but they did not dare to come out.

"Which great god is this? Is he passing through the Black Lithium Hell, or what?"

"What kind of beast is that? It looks so ferocious."

"Look at Ghost Six, he's so scared."

Although these ghost disciples are incompetent, they are all knowledgeable. Most of them can recognize words, and many of them have read the classics.

At this moment, one of them recognized what this mythical beast was.

"With a lion's head and a dragon's body, this is Suanni."

"Suyan?"

"Isn't that Longzi? A true divine beast."

"It really is a divine beast. How did such a divine beast end up in the netherworld?"

"It's a pity that such a mythical beast is nothing more than a mount for gods!"

Suddenly, the divine beast pounced towards the black lithosphere hell and rushed in front of Gui Liu.

This frightened Gui Liu so much that he ran away towards the cave.

Looking back again, he saw the lion opening its mouth wide and swallowing the mountain of black asphalt in one gulp.

"Hiss, it, the divine beast, ate the black stone fat we collected from the Netherworld."

"It's Suanni."
-
The Suanni model steam locomotive passed through the green mountain pass.

You can see that a huge gate is being prepared for construction at the mountain pass, but the gate looks more like a huge rock blocking the mountain pass.

Jiang Chao, braving the wind, finally arrived at the Heishi coal mine.

Sitting on the "Suanni", he stuck his head out and looked outside.

“It’s become like this?”

From Jiang Chao's perspective.

The hillside has been dug into many potholes and looks a mess. It can even be said that the entire hillside has been dug much shorter and is almost flat.

The coal was piled up into a huge mountain in the corner, but it could not be transported out due to limited transportation capacity.

But from now on, this situation will change.

Today is the first time that the Suanni model steam locomotive has started transportation. Before that, it had to rely on mandrill and evil ghost trailers for transportation.

In the future, it will begin to transport the coal here to the outside continuously, gradually driving other facilities. Cement, sand, bricks, steel, and glass will all be produced continuously, and there will be no need to worry about the materials needed to build the three dragon dikes.

Even the reservoir and dam behind have taken shape.

Jiang Chao looked at some simple facilities built on the ground, which were all various facilities supporting the mining plant. Jiang Chao looked at some machines piled up next to one of the factory buildings.

Jiang Chao pointed over there: "What kind of machine is that? Why is it prepared so early?"

Wangshu: "We are also planning to build a small coal-fired power plant here in the early stage. If it is overused, we will dismantle it and move it to other places when it is no longer needed."

Sudden.

Jiang Chao saw an unmanned mining machine being driven outside, then quickly turned around and ran back into the mine.

"Ok?"

Jiang Chao, with the divine appearance, changed his perspective and immediately saw the evil ghost that did not exist in the "world of the living".

"Look at that Guiliu guy. He's so scared that he's smoking. Hahahaha."

"If we can take advantage of the deity's unexpected mount and climb on it, can we escape from this hellish place?"

"who knows."

"If we can escape to the human world, we can be free and at ease again."

"How can I be free and at ease when my body is gone?"

"Maybe it would be more comfortable to be a ghost in the human world?"

"Try?"

"Try it, my brother. I believe you can do it."

Those evil ghosts looked around greedily and laughed at the ghost disciple who was running away madly in fear. Jiang Chao could even hear them whispering about whether they could use the power of this Suanni to escape from hell.

Jiang Chao: "I heard that you specially prepared sentences for these people?"

Wangshu: "I am a stickler for rules and I am very kind."

Jiang Chao: "Mercy?"

Wangshu: "Here, as long as you don't want to die, there will be no death penalty, and there is no life imprisonment."

At first glance, it seems to make some sense.

Jiang Chao: "The shortest sentence seems to have been one hundred years, and the longest one so far is over eight hundred years?"

Wangshu: “Yes.”

Jiang Chao: "Even if he is in a jar, it's not a freezer, and he hasn't been genetically edited. Can he live for a hundred years? Didn't you say that his yin and yang lifespans combined are a hundred and twenty?"

Wangshu: "That's not my business. They won't live to see that day because of their own failure."

Jiang Chao: "Did you hear that? They are trying to escape by hopping on the train."

Wangshu: "Their bodies are inside Huangquan Base, where did the train come from?"
