Those little minions, when Wu Song and the strong man were fighting just now, also ran away. At this time, none of the people from the Red Lotus Sect were gone.

"Oh, you guys have a big disaster, that person just now is a captain of the Red Lotus Gate, after he goes back, he will definitely inform the master of the Red Lotus Gate about you, and someone will definitely come to deal with you again. ”

The old man came out of the house and said anxiously to Wu Song.

The Red Lotus Gate is under the door master, and there are three deputy door masters, and below each deputy door master, there are two captains. The three sub-door masters are the Tianzi Door Master, the First Character Door Master, and the Herringbone Door Master.

The stout man just now was a captain under the herringbone master.

After he goes back, he will inform his deputy master of the matter, and then ask him to deal with Wu Song and the others.

"Guard, old man, we wish they would come, and if they don't, we'll go to them. Wu Song said with a smile.

Everyone discussed, and finally decided that Wu Songgangfeng and Yang Shuang would go to the Red Lotus Gate to explore the truth. Zhang Yilu, Tan Ming and Xiao Shan went to find the location of resources, and the two sides acted separately.

At this time, it was evening, and after dinner at the old man's house, the two sides set off for various actions.

Wu Song and the three of them followed the instructions of the old man and went to the Red Lotus Gate.

The location of the Red Lotus Gate is on a mountain more than twenty miles away from the village. They built a dam upstream of the creek, cut it off, and built a stockade right next to it.

Wu Song and the three of them followed the dry river of the creek all the way up to the vicinity of the village of the Red Lotus Gate.

They crouched on a rocky hill and looked at the stockade from afar.

The stockade was built on a flat land and was very large. Next to the stockade there is a dam that is filled with water. The people of the Red Lotus Gate dug a waterway to bring water from the dam into the village.

The stockade was heavily guarded, with two teams patrolling back and forth on the high walls of the stockade.

Wu Song and the three of them observed for a while, and when the sky was completely dark, the three of them quietly came to the bottom of the high wall, Wu Song climbed on the high wall with both hands, and while a team of guards had just walked by, Wu Song quickly climbed the high wall and hid in a shadow.

At this time, another team of guards walked over.

When they left, Wu Song gestured to Gangfeng and Yang Shuang under the high wall and asked them to come up.

The three of them made it to the high wall, and then entered the stockade together.

The stockade was too big, and the three decided to go their separate ways. The purpose of their visit was to find out what the Red Lotus Sect was doing here.

There were quite a few people in the stockade, and they were still working shortly after nightfall.

Wu Song leaned against the shadow of the wall and came to a room, and when he saw that there was no light inside, he went in.

There were some hammers, steel drills and other things in the room, and it was supposed to be a room for storing tools. Wu Song found a piece of clothing worn by a worker inside, draped it on his body, disguised himself, and left the house.

He boldly walked into the crowd of people in the stockade, and before he had gone far, he heard someone not far away pointing at him and shouting, "What are you doing there? Why don't you go to work? Do you want to be smoked?"

As he spoke, the man walked up to Wu Song in a few steps, pulled him to a shed, and pushed him in.

The shed is about thirty meters long and more than ten meters wide. Inside, an oil lamp is lit every few meters to illuminate the inside.

In the middle of the shed is a huge pool of water, which is full of clear water, and there are many people squatting in two rows next to it, each holding a basket in his hand, busy with something.

After Wu Song was pushed in, a guard-like man came over and took Wu Song to a place by the pool.

On the ground lay a basket containing a pile of stones.

The people who wanted to come to the Red Lotus Gate recognized themselves as workers, so they squatted down by mistake and picked up the basket and pretended to work.

He peeked at the people next to him, trying to see what they were doing.

Beside her was a woman in her forties, who picked up the basket and shook it in the water with the stones inside, as if to wash away the mud and sand on it.

After draining the water, the woman began to rummage through the basket with her head down.

In the woman's footsteps was a bag with some stones in it, and the woman was constantly checking out the stones from the basket and putting them in the pocket.

Suddenly, the woman accidentally dropped a stone on the ground.

The stone just fell to Wu Song's feet, and he picked it up. The stone blocks are white all over and have a smooth surface. Wu Song recognized this kind of stone, it was a yuan stone.

"That's mine!" the woman snatched the stone from Wu Song's hand, put it back in her pocket, and then said to Wu Song, "Don't try to rob me of my stone, these are all I have worked hard to pick up, and one can be worth a lot of money." ”

Wu Song hurriedly said that he had no intention of snatching her stones.

But looking up, the people in this shed are all sorting Yuanshi. These people were both men and women, and they appeared to be villagers from the neighborhood. Judging by the appearance of the women, they should have been hired by the Red Lotus Gate.

He looked at his basket again, and turned it over roughly, and there were yuan stones and ordinary stones in them. Those yuan stones, the quality is different, there are lower grades, there are also medium grades, but in general, the lower grade yuan stones are the majority.

The Yuan Stone is buried deep underground, and after it is mined, it is necessary to separate the Yuan Stone from the ordinary stone, and now the people in the shed where Wu Song is located are doing this work.

Where did the Red Lotus Sect get so many Yuan Stones, and what did they want to do?

Wu Song stayed in the shed for a while, and then found an opportunity to leave.

He wandered around the stockade for a while, some of the houses were too heavily guarded to enter.

Then, he left the stockade and came to the mountain rock outside, waiting for Gangfeng and Yang Shuang.

Soon, the two also returned. The three of them told all the clues they had found in the stockade. Gangfeng and Yang Shuang also made discoveries, Gangfeng found a cave, which was a Yuanshi deposit, and the people of the Red Lotus Gate were mining in it.

Yang Shuang found a room where the people inside were refining the Yuan Stone.

"Refining Yuan Stone?" Wu Song wondered.

Isn't it possible to use the Yuan Stone when you take it? What else do you need to refine?

"The Yuan stones we usually see are basically natural, mined, screened and cleaned, and then ready for the use of monks.

However, those yuan stones actually contain impurities, and some monks need to refine yuan stones with higher purity and less impurities for some reason.

The so-called refining of the yuan stone is to eliminate the impurities in the yuan stone through a certain method. Generally speaking, the impurities in the yuan stone are filthy gas. ”

Yang Shuang explained the refining of the Yuan Stone.

"So is there any connection between their refining of the Yuan Stone and the illness of the villagers in the valley?"

Wu Song asked.

"To refine the yuanshi, you need to dissolve the filthy gas that is expelled in clean water. The people of the Red Lotus Gate must have discharged the water containing filthy gas at will, and the water containing filthy gas seeped into the ground, polluting the well water in the wells dug by the villagers. ”

Rigid air ducts.

In this way, things are clear. The Red Lotus Sect needed water to refine the Yuan Stone, so they cut off the stream. Refining the Yuanshi caused the villagers' well water to contain filthy gas, which caused them to get sick.

"These people are really inhumane, and for their own selfish desires, they let everyone in a village suffer. Wu Song said hatefully.

"Hmph! Where did this chivalrous man come from, and he came here to meddle in his business. ”

Wu Song and the three of them were discussing, when suddenly a gloomy voice sounded.

The three of them suddenly turned around and saw a man coming out of the darkness.

The man was tall and thin, wearing a long robe. The night breeze began to rise, and the man's robe was blown up, making the man look like a flagpole.

As that person appeared, more than a dozen people walked out of the vicinity, surrounding Wu Song and the three of them.

"Who are you?" Wu Song stepped forward and said loudly.

"The contemptible person is the deputy master of the Red Lotus Gate, and the master of the herringbone gate, Qian Spear. You injured my men during the day, and now you come to my Red Lotus Gate late at night, I don't know why?"

Qian Mao said.

"You are the master of the herringbone gate, so that person is your subordinate during the day. He did evil, of course I have to draw a knife to help when I see injustice. We came here late at night to get justice for the villagers. ”

Wu Song said awe-inspiringly.

"Hmph, justice, when people die, there will be no justice. ”

Qian Mao sneered, his body flickered, and he suddenly made a move.

Wu Song greeted him, carried the divine blade without a shadow, and fought with Qian Spear in one place.

Over there, Gangfeng and Yang Shuang also fought with others. Qian Spear is a mid-stage cultivation of the Yuan Seed Realm, which is one level higher than Wu Song's cultivation, but Wu Song has a peerless technique and can attack people who are stronger than himself, so the two sides are equal for a while.

After a few more moments, the situation began to tilt towards Wu Song's side.

The technique of the money spear is called the fluctuation technique, a palm is slapped, the yuan force will form a fluctuation in the palm, if the enemy is hit by his palm, the yuan force fluctuation will shock the meridians.

Wu Song has basically figured out the exercises of the money spear, and the exercises have been changed to Tianxiang Boxing.

Qian Mao dodged to avoid Wu Song's attack, came behind him, and slapped Wu Song's back with a palm.

Wu Song stepped back, turned around and met Qian Mao's palm with his right fist.

The two sides intersected with their fists, and Qian Spear was staggered back by Wu Song's huge force, and only withdrew three or four meters before gaining a firm foothold.

He felt that his breath was disturbed in his internal organs, and it was obvious that he had suffered a lot of internal injuries.

"Good boy! But don't get too complacent!"

Qian Mao said sharply, took out a handful of things from his arms, and sprinkled them around.

Then, Qian Mao let out a loud shout and slapped his right palm on the ground. All this happened so fast that Wu Song didn't have time to stop it at all. After a while, I saw a bright light shoot out from the palm of Qian Spear's hand.

It was first hit a few meters to the right of the spear, and then the light folded to the back of the spear, and then to the left.

As it was true a few times, the bright light formed a circle of several meters, enclosing Qian Spear and Wu Song inside.

The light around him became stronger and stronger, and Wu Song suddenly had a very bad premonition.

He picked up his Yuan Li and was about to jump out of the circle, but it was too late. Suddenly, a white light shot from somewhere, hitting Wu Song's back.

Wu Song only felt as if he had been hit in the back by a huge force, and involuntarily threw himself forward.
