Chapter 277: Circle
p1()
Combined with the fact that there are traces of artificial excavation everywhere, coupled with the difference in the petrification process of the four people, Fang Ling felt more and more that this mine itself was weird. 35xs||
Perhaps, the repeated collapse accidents in the mine were all because someone wanted to cover up the secrets of the mine, and the four prominent clans, who were already suspicious of each other, mistakenly thought that the other party had done it.
If this is really what he expected, then there must be some ulterior secret hidden in this mine, and the person who guards this secret will not hesitate to kill him.
It's just that, judging from the exploration just now, the route of the entire mine is very complicated, and it will not take a few days to find and fully explore this cave.
Fang Ling thought for a while, but decided to leave first, he knew very well in his heart that even if these two stone men were found, it would not be enough to resolve the contradiction between the four great families, judging from the bodies of the two stone men that he had just 'touched', the hearts of these two people also had a slow flow of heaven and earth qi, and they should also have the possibility of survival.
Quietly out of the gold mine, the sun had just risen from the mountains, the guards of the two camps were still asleep, Fang Ling quietly melted all the chains, and then left.
Riding the red flame, Fang Ling rushed to Jinsha County at the foot of the mountain. Although the Jinsha River is rapid and turbulent, it has fertilized the land on both sides of the river, making agriculture developed here, and the river can salvage aquatic products in the moderation place, Jinsha County is also quite rich.
Fang Ling dismounted outside the city, and saw a group of people gathered in front of the city gate, and leaned over to take a look, but it was a wanted warrant for the arrest of Jiangyang thieves.
Since the "chaos" of the eight kings, the entire Chu country has fallen into a chaotic "chaos" situation, and many bandits and bandits have begun to blatantly commit crimes, and even wave their flags to occupy the mountains, making the people's lives miserable. A land of abundance like Sands County is like a piece of fat to them, how can they not touch it?
After finding an inn and instructing Xiao Er to take good care of Chiyan, Fang Ling came to a more lively steamed bun shop on the street, although this steamed bun shop is not big, but the business is very prosperous, there are more than a dozen tables and stools outside the shop, almost all of them are full of people.

Fang Ling ordered a basket of steamed buns and sat down peacefully, of course he had the intention of eating in this place, seeing that the diners here seemed to be nearby neighbors, all of whom were born and raised in Jinsha County, and they might be able to get some clues from the chat.
After sitting and listening for a while, the people around him talked about some short topics in the family, and there was nothing important, but Fang Ling was not in a hurry, finding the two stone figures had already made things a little more eyebrow-raising, and the pressure in his heart was not as great as before he came.
The owner of the steamed bun shop shouted at the sale of steamed buns, and a basket of hot steamed buns was quickly sold.
A middle-aged man wearing a fast clothes walked over from the end of the street, walked to the front of the bun shop, and Nunu said, "Boss Zhu, here are four buns." ”
"Jiang Zhutou, you wait a minute, it will be steamed soon. Boss Zhu said apologetically.
Jiang Zhutou nodded, found a place to sit down, and a young man with a horse's face came over from the side seat, and said with a shy smile: "Jiang Zhutou, I heard that something big happened to Liao Ji Qianzhuang last night." ”
Jiang Zhutou yawned, glanced at him a little tiredly, and said, "Ma Yuan, your ears are quite well-informed." ”
Ma Yuan smiled and said, "Next door to my house is Qianzhuang, the people in the county government made such a big noise last night, can I not know?" After speaking, he deliberately lowered his voice and said, "I heard that what happened in Qianzhuang is very strange, the treasury is guarded on all sides, and a box of gold ingots was replaced by stones by Jiangyang thieves." ”
Fang Ling's heart thumped, and he immediately stared at the two of them, if this thing usually sounds strange, what kind of rich people and money houses are the targets of Jiangyang thieves' robbery, but in this situation, the meaning of the word stone is very different.
"If you know, don't 'mess around', in case you startle the snake and let the Jiang Yang thief run away, but you ask!" Jiang Zhutou's face sank, and he reprimanded in a low voice, then picked up the bun sent by Boss Zhu and left. Flash Dance 35xs
Ma Yuan spat at the mouth and muttered in a low voice: "What's the big deal, you can't even catch a Jiangyang thief, you can only make Lao Tzu angry." ”
Fang Ling walked over with a plate and asked with a smile, "This big brother, I heard you mention the Jiangyang thief just now, can you tell me about it?"
Ma Yuan saw the young man's expression of curiosity, and his heart was greatly applied, so he said: "I just fell asleep last night, and suddenly there was an exclamation from Liao Ji Qianzhuang, and after I was woken up, I carried a ladder to the fence, looked towards the Qianzhuang, and found that the capture was about to arrive, and Boss Liao asked the guy to carry a small box to the open space, saying that there was a Jiangyang thief who replaced a box of gold ingots with stones. ”
"Did you see the contents of the box?" Fang Ling asked.
Ma Yuan puffed up his chest and said: "Of course I saw it, it is indeed a stone, but it is a little strange." ”
"Strange?" Fang Ling said in surprise.
Ma Yuan frowned and said: "Because after the box is opened, there are no broken stones inside, and the stones are neatly placed in the box, all in the shape of gold ingots, you say that this Jiangyang thief is really strange, just exchange stones for gold, and make stones look like gold ingots, this is definitely a master among masters." ”
As soon as he heard this, Fang Ling felt that something was strange, even if the Jiangyang thief could use crushed stone in order to show off his strength, why did he have to use a stone like a gold ingot.
He opened his mouth and asked, "Is this box of gold ingots Boss Liao's?"
Ma Yuan shook his head and said, "It's not, it was brought by two young men yesterday, and there were about ten gold ingots in a box, which were exchanged for ten silver tickets of one hundred taels." Speaking of this, he couldn't help but envy, "These two boys don't look like the sons of a rich family, I don't know where to get so much gold, I happened to pass by at the time, and I heard them talk about the red card that they were going to Bao Hongyu Building at night." ”
What is the top card of Hongyulou, Fang Ling knows without asking, he deliberately said: "It's hard to say, there are too many bandits and bandits these days, even if there is gold and jade, they are all hidden, people dress ordinarily, maybe they are afraid that people will remember it." ”
Ma Yuan recalled, shook his head and said: "I don't mean what they are wearing, but the feeling they give people, these two people are tall and short, they both have a pair of mouse eyes, and they still reveal a bit of evil when they squint, and the tall one still has a scar on his head, if it is not covered by his hair, it is estimated that it is a scar when he 'touches'." ”
After Fang Ling finished inquiring, after eating the buns, he walked towards the Hongyu Building on North Street.
Since ancient times, whether it is the peace of the world or the chaos of war, there is always no shortage of business in Qinglou, as the best Qinglou in Jinsha County, Hongyulou is built on the most prosperous north street in the county, the courtyard is vast, magnificent, it is the favorite place of dignitaries and nobles, if you want to wrap a red card woman here, you have to ask for at least a few hundred taels of silver.
It was still early in the morning, whether it was the girl in the Qinglou or the guests were asleep, the door was not opened, only passers-by hurriedly walked by.
Smelling the rouge smell coming from the building, Fang Ling stood at the mouth of an alley, his eyes not leaving the gate of the green building.
After a long time, the door of the Qinglou finally opened, and a middle-aged bustard twisting the waist of the water snake sent the two young men out, and kept waving handkerchiefs to call the two to come back next time.
These two young men are the two people Ma Yuan said in his mouth, both of them are only 22 or 3 years old, but they have some cultivation, and from the estimation of the qi of heaven and earth that they exude, they can almost reach the level of the peak stage of the Rigid Force Realm.
Fang Ling was secretly taken aback, and had a feeling that a premonition had been confirmed, mortal martial artists had to be about 30 years old to enter the Rigid Force Realm, not to mention that it was still at its peak?
Even if they cultivate the Little Divine Classics, they can't improve so quickly, unless the two of them are cultivating the True Cultivation Method!
Fang Ling quietly followed behind the two, raising his five senses to the strongest, and taking all the words they said into his ears.
The short man stretched his waist with a satisfied face, and said with a smile as he walked, "Fifth Senior Brother, the red card of this Qinglou is different, that's what a flattery." ”
The fifth senior brother smiled and said, "Seventh junior brother, senior brother didn't tell a lie, you promise to come next time after you taste it once." ”
The seventh junior brother laughed with Mei, and couldn't help but worry: "But fifth senior brother, the master has already ordered us not to use the gold in the gold mine, in case the master knows about it......"
The fifth senior brother patted him on the shoulder and said with relief: "Don't worry, the gold ingot turned into stone, and the people in the government will only think that Jiang Yang did it, and they will never think about it elsewhere." What's more, the master has been cultivating in the cave, how can he not know what is going on outside, besides, those gold are idle and idle, what does it matter if we use it, with gold, aren't we the uncle?"
Fang Ling was stunned when he heard this, listening to this tone, the gold ingots were made of gold from the gold mine, and the gold was just like a person, and it turned into stone after leaving the gold mine?
The seventh senior brother heard the red light on his face, and then said with a smile: "The fifth senior brother is right, then let's come back next time?"
The fifth senior brother laughed and said, "Of course I'm still here, but it's about the same time now, let's go back to the cave first." ”
The two of them found a restaurant, and after breakfast, they came to the inn, and rode a horse to carry a few bags of supplies to the outside of the city, and Fang Ling rode Chiyan to follow far behind.
The two brothers walked slowly and leisurely all the way, and finally got into a remote valley, and then rode to a mountain wall that stood as straight as a mirror.
The fifth senior brother "touched" a bell and shook it slightly, and a hole ten zhang long and wide immediately appeared on the mountain wall, and the two of them rode into it and disappeared without a trace, and then the hole immediately disappeared and became a stone wall.
Fang Ling was secretly taken aback, and two words popped up in his heart - magic circle!
