Chapter 143, Black Tiger Mountain

Xue Jian immediately looked at Sen Hu, Gu Wuwen, it was the first time he had heard of it.

Everyone else also looked at Senhu with curiosity, and even Muda, who was also a wizard, looked puzzled.

Senhu squatted down, looked at the golden plaque, and explained.

"Ancient Wuwen is the script used by our ancestors a long time ago, before the establishment of the Southern Ming Empire.

Today, this kind of writing is only used by our tribe, but it has also been simplified and developed, and it is not the same as the writing of thousands of years ago. ”

Mo Jiuweng, who was originally drunk, seemed to suddenly remember something when he heard this, and his drunkenness immediately dissipated and said.

"Don't you say I haven't noticed, this kind of writing seems to be somewhat similar to the text I saw in the temple. ”

The temple he spoke of was the most important sacrificial temple in the Witch King's Palace, a place dedicated to the witch god.

Xue Jian looked at Mo Jiuweng, then at Senhu, and asked.

"And which of you knows the words?"

Both of them squatted beside the golden plaque, carefully observed, and after a while, Mo Jiuweng said.

"The word in the middle is 'God', and I can be sure that there is a plaque in front of the Witch God Temple, and the word 'God' in the middle is not much different from this word. ”

Immediately after, Senhu said again.

"This last word should be 'palace'. ”

He was brief and did not explain.

Xue Jian nodded, like this kind of plaque hanging on the door, it is generally not a palace, a palace, or a mansion, and it doesn't mean much.

The most important thing should be this first word.

It's a pity that the two looked at it for a long time and didn't recognize what the first word was.

But it is certain that this first word is not "witch", that is, it is a shrine plaque that has nothing to do with the witch god.

In this world, the word "God" can be crowned, which is enough to show that this plaque is not simple.

Moreover, Xue Jian and Sen Hu both tested the hardness of this plaque, and it was obvious that it was not made of a piece of gold, and neither of them could break this plaque.

After studying for a while, they didn't come up with any results, Xue Jian put the plaque into the space belt, looked at the miners and said.

"The ore veins below, I have opened a channel, if you are willing to stay here, stay here, I will not force you, if you stay, I will give you a salary every month.

In addition, for every hundred catties of spar dug up, I will give you some rewards, the more you dig, the more you earn. ”

After hearing Xue Jian's words, those people all showed expressions of disbelief.

They used to mine here, and the people of the Black Tiger Gang never paid their salaries, so they only paid three meals a day, and just like that, these people still couldn't eat enough.

The old miner turned to look at Chen Shiwen and Mu Da and asked.

"Is what this boy said true?"

Chen Shiwen and Mu Da both nodded, Xue Jian had told them about this before.

Since it is already a formal chamber of commerce, it is naturally impossible to do anything to strengthen the coolies.

Xue saw a look in his eyes, and Chen Shiwen took out a bag of gold coins, handed them to the old miner, and said.

"This money is the wages we owe you before, and now we will make up for it, and you can take a cent. ”

The old miner took the heavy bag, opened it, and suddenly burst into tears.

He had never seen so many gold coins in his life, and for a moment he couldn't believe it was real, as if he was living in a dream.

The old miner's hands trembled and he asked again.

"Master Chen, these are all for us?"

Chen Shiwen smiled and nodded, for some reason, looking at the appearance of this group of people, he felt quite a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

The old miner immediately knelt down, and the others also knelt on the ground and thanked Chen Shiwen and Xue Jian.

"Thank you Chen for being in charge, thank you for this son. ”

Xue Jian hurriedly helped him up and said.

"You deserve all this, take the money and go home to see your family, and after a while, you will come again.

When the time comes, if there are relatives and friends who also want to make money here, they can be introduced, as long as the water is good and can endure hardships, I will guarantee that you all have money to earn and do not worry about eating. ”

Dozens of tanned miners were grateful to Xue Jian and thanked him again and again.

After that, the group returned to the warship and let the fishing boat sail back to Mooncliff Town.

After the matter of the ore vein was temporarily settled, Xue Jian planned to capture the Black Tiger Mountain and pocket all the treasures of the Smiling Tiger.

That money is the start-up capital of the White Tiger Chamber of Commerce.

After discussing a strategy on the boat, early the next morning, Chen Shiwen led a group of more than 70 brothers, Xue Jian and Senhu hid in the team, and headed towards Black Tiger Mountain.

Du Xiaoqing, Mo Jiuweng, and Mu Da stayed on the warship for the time being, guarding the vein.

Black Tiger Mountain is not far from Moon Cliff Town, it is a steep mountain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and everyone walked all morning before rushing to the foot of Black Tiger Mountain.

The two minions guarding the gate of the mountain saw that Chen Shiwen had come back with a large team, so they hurriedly greeted him with a smile.

They didn't notice anything wrong at all, and one of them, a young man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, smiled flatteringly.

"Master Chen, why did you come back today, and you brought so many brothers. ”

Chen Shiwen smiled and said with a festive face.

"Some time ago, the helper took us out to fight a big victory and gained a lot of benefits.

In the past few days, the helper plans to go back to the mountain to set up a banquet for a few days to celebrate, so he sent us back to prepare first. ”

The two minions suddenly smiled happily and slapped Chen Shiwen's sycophants again and again.

A group of people walked towards the mountain unimpeded, and everyone knew all kinds of dangerous mechanisms along the way, and easily avoided them.

All the way to the halfway up the mountain, Xue Jian saw that a high fortress had been repaired between the narrow mountain crevices in front of him.

This is the only way to the top of Black Tiger Mountain, and if someone comes to attack this mountain, there is no other way than to storm the fortress, unless someone can fly up from the cliff of the back mountain.

Where is this easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is simply guarding a moat.

As long as twenty men took bows and arrows and stood at the head of the city, let alone seventy or eighty of them, even if they came seventy or eight hundred, seven or eight thousand, they would not even think of going up the mountain.

Xue Jian's heart moved, such a good place, if he occupied it, no matter how many people the Five Poisons Sect brought him, he would not be afraid.

Unless the opponent has a Grand Master who can fly in the sky.

When everyone came to the city, Chen Shiwen immediately shouted loudly.

"Brothers above, quickly open the gates of the city, and we have come back to prepare a feast on the orders of the helper. ”

After the words were spoken, it didn't take long for two people to appear in the city.

There is a person on the left, with big shoulders and a round waist, a fat head and big ears, and a fat body that keeps shaking with his movements, just like a mountain of meat.

The person on the right is a little normal, the average burly man's body type, but he is blind in one eye and has an eye patch on his face.

The fat man on the left glanced coldly at the people below and sneered.

"Celebration feast, I think it's your guillotine feast. ”

As his words fell, a row of archers immediately appeared on the head of the city, all bending their bows and drawing arrows, murderous.
