There was an endless stream of shouting and quarrelling.

"You stinky child, how do you know you're hungry, you know how to cry, don't you know you're delaying your father and mother to make a lot of money?" said a woman as she slapped the child beside her twice.

Wow ~ Wow ~ Wow ~

The child was beaten and cried even louder.

This is just one of the women's representatives, and behind her, there are many other women who are also beating and scolding their own children, "how not to fight", "if it weren't for you to take care of you, I wouldn't have come back" and so on.

In a daze, Wu Yi was woken up by the crying of the child and the scolding of the woman. At first, Wu Yi didn't react, he only knew that he was sleeping well, but he was woken up.

Just when Wu Yi rubbed his eyes and scratched his braincase, he instantly became emotional. Why did a town that was still empty during the day suddenly come to someone? Wu Yi hurriedly called out to the drunk man who was sleeping soundly

"What are you doing, what are you doing?" the drunk man sat up in a daze. The smell of alcohol on his body has not yet dissipated.

"You listen" Wu Yi said nervously: "human voice"

The drunk man also woke up, and it was still quiet like a dead town during the day, why did he suddenly have such a noisy human voice now?

"Listen to what, it's getting closer, go outside the window and look," Wu Yi reminded.

The two hurried out of the second-floor window and looked at the children and women coming from the street to the west.

"You say, they're not real people. The drunk man asked.

"Why are there so many people all of a sudden, all women and children, where are the men?"

"Go down and ask, and you'll find out. Wu Yi said.

"Hey, wait, these people aren't ghosts. ”

"What the hell, didn't you see their shadows?" Wu Yi said

After saying that, Wu Yi jumped down from the window and stopped a woman holding a little girl and asked.

"Auntie, where did you go during the day?" Wu Yi asked

"Get out of the way, don't you see my children crying hungry?" The woman who was stopped by Wu Yi showed impatience and hurried away.

Wu Yi stopped the other women and asked, "Auntie, where did you come back from?"

"I don't want to come back yet, if it weren't for the hunger and crying of my children, I wouldn't have come back. One woman said

"You don't know, on the West Mountain, something big happened, the day before yesterday earthquake, a small dirt bag on the West Mountain collapsed, and the result was ......"

"Don't, don't tell the outsiders, don't you see that there are enough outsiders on the West Mountain. ”

Before the woman who was about to tell Wu Yi the details could finish speaking, she was pulled away by another woman.

When they left, Wu Yi also made an appointment to hear, "If it weren't for Lao Litou's stupid son shouting and letting the whole town know, how much benefit could the outsiders rob us of?"

Next, Wu Yi stopped several people, but they were unwilling to tell Wu Yi the specific things on the West Mountain.

Wu Yi returned to the inn and told the drunken man about Xishan and the earthquake.

"Since the villagers didn't want to say anything, we had to go on our own. The drunk man said

Wu Yi also nodded in agreement.

Although it was already dark, Wu Yi and the others had just woken up and were in good spirits, so they went overnight. Although it was night, the moon was round and bright, shining white light, and it was not at all like night, but like when the day was just dawning.

The two walked out of the town, in the direction west of where the woman and the child had come.

Because they were not familiar with this place, and did not know which mountain to the west of the women were talking about, and how far away it was, even this could not stop their curiosity to explore.

After walking for about an hour, the two of them finally knew that they were about to reach the western mountain that the woman had spoken.

A hill in front of it had collapsed halfway down the middle due to an earthquake, and the area around it was brightly lit. Almost half of the town's inhabitants come here.

Residents set up makeshift tents and campfires. It is surrounding the section of the mountain bag, to be precise, around a stone cave leaking out of the section. It is said to be a stone cave. Not entirely true, because around the cave, there is a glittering white light, and this is a mining cave.

"That's, Darkmar. The drunk man squinted at the mouth of the cave in the distance and said.

Wu Yi was only sixteen years old and had never seen such an ore.

The drunken man explained: "The Xuanyu stone is a white crystalline stone with a slight magic power contained in it. The Phantom Beastmaster can absorb the magic power inside for his own use, but the Phantom Beastmaster disdains to use Xuanyu, because the magic power contained in it is more mixed, which will disturb the Phantom Beastmaster's own magic power. ”

"However, this stone is not loved by phantom beast masters. But it has other uses, and the white pink stone on the periphery of the Imperial Gold Coin is made of this stone. Therefore, this stone has other other names, called circulation stone, the currency between the various empires can not be circulated normally, which makes the jade stone a currency that can be used by all countries, and now 100 grams of jade is equivalent to 10 imperial gold coins. ”

"It's kind of valuable. ”

"No wonder, encountering such a mine is like a treasure born out of nowhere, and it is also an ownerless thing, no wonder so many people don't rob it"

"That's why it's ownerless, it's because this is the border of the empire, and the laws of the empire can't be fully enforced here. ”

Although it was ownerless, there was no looting around the mine, or the chaos was over for the time being.

There are people coming in and out of the mine, but they are not panicked. A stone table was set up at the entrance of the cave, and the person who came out of the cave handed over most of the jade stones to the bamboo basket behind an old man behind the stone table, but he only took the smile part of the jade stones. Whenever someone handed in jade, the old man wrote something on the table and handed the person who handed in the ore a wooden sign.

There were two high-level phantom beast masters behind the old man, maintaining order and preventing anyone from causing chaos. That's all there is to know from afar, and the only way to know more is to get up close. Everything was in order, and Wu Yi and the others felt that there was no danger, so they walked towards the mine.

Coming to the vicinity of the entrance of the mine, Wu Yi saw the bloodstains at the entrance of the mine, it seems that in the early days, there was still chaos here, but it has been quelled. Wu Yi found a strong man who was resting nearby and asked, "What's going on here, why did everyone give the ore to that old man." ”

As he spoke, Wu Yi also handed the strong man a water bag. The strong man was not polite, and took the water bag and drank it.

Grunt

After taking a big sip of the water in the water bag, the strong man said: "I don't know what's going on, this mine was shaken out, that is, the day before yesterday." At first, no one knew about it, but a fool who had discovered the mine ran to town and shouted that he had found a treasure. At first, no one believed it, and a few children were bored, ran to see it, and deducted a few ores back to the town to show off, which is amazing, the people in the town have exploded, isn't this kind of ore at your fingertips just a pie falling from the sky?"

"As a result, everyone came here to mine, and at first it was okay, each taking his own, but a few phantom beast masters came later, wanting to swallow it alone. Rather than saying that they discovered the hole first, the others were not happy and fought hard, resulting in deaths. If it weren't for Mr. Hong, I don't know how many lives would have been caused?"

The strong man said, casting an upward gaze at the old man who was collecting stones.
