Chapter 327: A Word Is a Certainty
According to Yi Xiao, there is a cliff to the north of the central mining area, and there is a no-man's land below, and the terrain is so steep that few people usually step into it.
Some people once called this area the Land of Corpses, because even across the cliffs, the central mining area could occasionally smell a stench of rotting corpses.
It was originally a large mountain, but it was split open by a certain great power, resulting in the current cliff and the land of corpses.
It is said that beneath the ground of the land of the corpses has sealed a man who has opposed the power for tens of thousands of years.
As the saying goes, thieves are bold, and Yixiao relies on this natural terrain to dare to use his brains to steal Ruyi stone gall.
And it turns out that Yixiao's judgment is very correct.
After Sun Tie stole the Ruyi stone gall, he escaped from this place out of Peng's sight.
Although Yu Peng also led the official errand to go around the cliff, he didn't know what the reason was, and all of them returned in vain.
Not only did he not retrieve the Ruyi stone gall, but even Sun Tie did not catch it.
Since the whereabouts of Ruyi stone gall are unknown, it is very likely to fall into the place of corpses.
And Sun Tie's successful escape also shows that the land of corpses may not be as terrible as the legend.
If you sneak into the land of corpses, get rid of the pursuit of officials, and search carefully, you may be able to see Ruyi stone gall.
With Yi Xiao's cultivation strength, he is much better than Sun Tie, and he has the confidence to deal with officials in the land of corpses.
After all, the official errand is just a paid errand, and everyone is very life-saving, unlike an outlaw like Yi Xiao, who dares to do anything when he is pressed, and the terrain is complicated, which is easy to hide, and it is not too difficult to get rid of the official errand.
The question is to rush through the guards to calmly reach the cliff, tie the rope, and go down to the place where the corpse is crossed, which Yi Xiao will never do. I'm afraid that before I reach the place where the corpse is crossed, I will already be dead on the spot.
He once surveyed the terrain of the cliff and found a stone wall with a crack the thickness of a wrist, about five feet deep.
Above the location of the crack, it has an inverted triangle shape, and the whole cliff looks top-heavy.
If you can get gunpowder, pour it into a crack and detonate it, you can knock the top of the cliff down.
In this case, the fallen rock just blocked the only passage from the central mining area to the land of the corpses.
As long as he can delay for a moment and a half, Yixiao will have enough time to go down to the place where the corpse is strewn and carry out his own treasure hunt.
In order to successfully collapse the cliff, at least 30 catties of gunpowder are needed, and the gunpowder in the central mining area is managed by special personnel, and Yixiao has no way to get it.
So the task of stealing gunpowder naturally fell to Xianxiang and Haofeng.
Because Lao Zhou was lazy, the fat brother took on the job of carrying gunpowder, which gave Xianxiang the opportunity to steal gunpowder.
If the fat brother had been following the workers, Xianxiang would not dare to take it lightly.
It just so happened that on the way back, the fat brother was in a hurry, so he found a slightly remote place and solved it on the spot.
Xianxiang and Haofeng took the initiative to stay, endured the smoky smell, and waited for the fat brother on the side.
In fact, when the fat brother and put the gunpowder bag on the ground, Xianxiang used Haofeng to block the fat brother's sight, and transferred the loess bag that had been prepared for a long time.
And Yi Xiao, under the cover of the two, took away the gunpowder bag by Shun LĂŹ, and just kept the honest fat brother in the dark.
"My master hasn't gathered thirty catties of gunpowder yet, and he will come out to find ...... next blasting day."
Hao Feng used the last of his strength, and his voice became softer and softer, until it stopped completely.
After dinner, 177, that is, Xianxiang, said to the foreman for leave, saying that he would go to pay tribute to Haofeng.
"Where did you bury Haofeng?" Xianxiang threw at Yichen with a look of resentment and a hint of fear.
Yichen pretended not to know anything, just lazily pointed to his hand: "Oh, it's about five miles from here, you can go by yourself, I'm going to get ready to sleep." â
"Hmph... Someday, I'm going to settle accounts with you. Xianxiang said hatefully, carried a basket, and walked outside alone.
Following the direction Yichen pointed, Xianxiang followed the mountain road and found a newly raised grave.
Xianxiang squatted on the ground, took out a bowl of rice from the basket, gently placed it on the grave, took out a knife of yellow paper, and lit it with a fire fold.
The sky was getting darker, and the fire from the yellow paper swayed on the dim side of the mountain, which looked a little gloomy.
"Poor Haofeng, I've come to see you for the teacher. Xianxiang's voice was soft, but not a little choked.
When the yellow paper was about to burn out, Xianxiang slowly stood up, bent down slightly, and bowed to Haofeng's grave.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the gradually dimming firelight rose from the ground and hovered in front of Xianxiang's eyes.
The firelight flickered on and off, flickering with a terrifying light, as if a pair of ghostly eyes were blurred, and actually brought out a ghostly sound.
"Master~~"
"Who?" The sudden voice made Xianxiang, who was already worried, explode, and cold sweat broke out along his pores.
"Master, I'm Haofeng, I died so miserably......" The voice was like crying and complaining, fluctuating.
Xianxiang was afraid, but he still fought hard and searched for the source of the sound.
"Haofeng, it's all that 285, he killed you, and the teacher will definitely avenge you..."
When he was sure that the sound was coming from the grave, Hyunxiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's not 285, it's the master who deliberately stoned me to death with ore, just to kill people and kill ......"
Although the voice was very soft, as if it had been blown out of the grave by the wind, it was intermittent, cold and full of resentment.
"Nonsense... For the teacher to protect you everywhere, how can it harm you?" Xianxiang defended calmly.
"285 came to me, I didn't say anything, but you are afraid that I will not be able to hold on, and the matter of stealing gunpowder from you will be leaked out......"
Haofeng seemed to ignore Xianxiang's defense, and insisted that he was the one who killed people.
"You really didn't say, hahaha, okay..."
Xianxiang suddenly laughed wildly, gritted his teeth and said, "Fortunately, I started quickly, otherwise, you will say it sooner or later." â
"Master, you are so ruthless..."The voice in the grave carried a hint of helplessness and some sadness.
"If you don't be ruthless, I'll be the one who dies. Xianxiang lost his mind a little, almost roaring:
"I'm here to pay tribute to you, in fact, to see if you're dead, it's good, I didn't come in vain, this matter will never leak out again, haha......"
"You don't have to seek revenge on me, it's useless, ghosts are afraid of the wicked, you know, I'm the wicked man..."
Xianxiang lifted a kick and kicked the bowl of rice on Haofeng's grave away, and even brought up a pile of dirt.
Bang Dang......
The clay rice bowl fell from the sky and smashed against the stones on the ground, breaking apart.
But Xianxiang didn't care about it, he didn't even want the basket, he was not afraid of the miserable wind at all, and strode away.
The yin wind quickly dissipated, and Yichen also came out of the grave, flicking the dust off his body, revealing a sly smile.
According to the location provided by Sun Tie, which is basically the same as Yixiao's judgment, it seems that the place where the corpse is crossed is very likely to be the hiding place of Ruyi Shi Guts.
Yichen patrolled around the central mining area, but did not find a path to the land of the corpses, and in desperation, he used the escape technique of the "Great Five Elements Technique" to sneak underground.
However, it was found that below the ground level of the entire central mining area, it was not the usual soil at all, and it was still full of rocks, which was extremely difficult to walk through.
Originally, it was a large mountain, and the general's palace was blasted with gunpowder, which almost flattened the top of the mountain, and the central mining area was built on the mountainside.
Although it took a lot of effort, Yichen felt that he had only traveled half the distance, and there were at least three or four miles to the cliff of the land of corpses.
If you just pass through the rocks, you are afraid that you will be exhausted before you reach the end.
After two nights of on-site investigation, Yichen decided to try to enter the interior of the central mine and wait for an opportunity to get closer to the cliff.
"My lord, regarding the loss of gunpowder, before the end of the month, I promise to hand over fifteen catties of gunpowder, one or two, to the warehouse. â
The foreman knew that Yichen had left the shed in the past two nights and was about to inquire about the progress, but Yichen preemptively said: "However, I have a request, you must agree." â
"What requirements?" Hearing Yichen's affirmation, the foreman felt much more steady.
As long as Yichen's conditions are not excessive, even if he subsidizes a little, it is much better than holding him accountable.
"After this is done, I will go into the central mining area. Yichen didn't turn around and mentioned it directly.
"Central Mine?"
This requirement is not excessive, with Yichen's warrior general Wupin cultivation, according to the standards of the mining area, it should have gone to the central mining area.
However, at present, it is an extraordinary period, and the central mining area will not increase the number of miners for the time being, which is the meaning of the above, and he is a small foreman in the peripheral mining area, and he is not qualified to interfere in the affairs of the central mining area.
The foreman hesitated for a moment, and asked tentatively: "Let's change to other conditions, such as letting you do some light work, or increase the salary appropriately?"
"No..."Yichen replied without hesitation: "I work to make money, the salary in the central mining area is much higher than here, and everyone is a master of war, and it is easier to cooperate."
Also, the food in the central mining area is good, the sleeping place is spacious, and the face is bright......"
What Yichen said is high-sounding, but it is also real, he also works to earn money, and the status and income of the miners in the central mining area even exceed that of the foremen in the peripheral mining areas.
"But ......" If he refuses, in case Yichen is unhappy, the matter of fifteen catties of gunpowder will be suspended.
The foreman was ruthless and resolutely said: "In this way, I will go and beg Lord Ding, he is Lao Zhou's cousin, and if it really can't be done, I will tell him about the gunpowder and let him weigh it." â
Lao Zhou was introduced to the mining area by Ding Yuqiang as a warehouse keeper. Once the gunpowder matter is investigated, it will more or less cause some adverse consequences to Ding Yuqiang.
With Ding Yuqiang's position as the deputy commander of the General's Mansion, there should be a way to satisfy Yichen's desire to go to the central mining area.
So the foreman immediately made a decision, patted his chest and packed the ticket: "Okay, a word is a decision..."
