Volume 11 Chapter 25 The Iron-headed Essence Under the Severed Head Tree

In the territory of Miyun County, north of the capital, there is a place called Wuzhi Mountain, of course, this Wuzhi Mountain is not made by the palm of the Buddha, and there is no monkey pressed in it, but the five peaks are arranged together in a staggered manner, a bit like a human finger.

Wuzhi Mountain is just an ordinary place in the Yanshan Mountain Range, there is no special place, the special place is on the opposite side of it, and Wuzhi Mountain is also a continuous group of mountains across the river, however, there are many broken trees in the mountain, according to legend, there are goblins who practice there, so there are often lightning strikes, as for the fox spirit or the tiger spirit or the monkey spirit it is unknown, in short, the nearby villagers do not dare to enter the mountainous area.

On this day, Song Yingxing, a Qing official of the Ministry of Industry, suddenly came to Miyun County with a team of brocade guards and horses, and Miyun County ordered to run out of the city to greet him, this Lord Song is terrible, don't look at his position is not high, but he is a big celebrity in front of the emperor, if he is not just a person, I am afraid that he would have been promoted to the third or even the second grade by the emperor.

However, although he is now only a fifth-grade Gongbu Langzhong, when the idle third-grade officials see him, they have to politely call Lord Song, Miyun County Order, this little seven-grade sesame official, naturally does not dare to snub this monster of Ming officialdom, so he not only went out of the city to greet him, but also took the initiative to run to Song Yingxing, and bowed: "Weichen Miyun County ordered Shen Yuanlong to see Lord Song." β€œ

Song Yingxing was bluffed by him and almost fell off the horse, what is this for! He hurriedly turned over and dismounted, helped Shen Yuanlong up, and said politely: "Lord Shen, please get up quickly, it's time to torture Song." β€œ

Shen Yuanlong stood up and continued to say respectfully: "I don't know what Lord Song is doing here?" β€œ

What else can Song Yingxing do, looking for iron ore, the emperor said, there are often people near the capital who see thunder splitting trees, although he has not heard of it, but he can find someone to ask, but he really asked about such a place, so he hurriedly reported to the emperor and wanted to come and see in person.

Zhu Cijiong originally wanted to come in person, but it was too troublesome for him to go out of the capital, the Praetorian Guards and Jinyi Guards accompanying him did not exceed 100,000, he didn't want to go out of the capital at all, even if the ministers in the court didn't say it, his fifth uncle and the two queen mothers would try their best to stop it, and in the end, he could only send a team of Jinyi guards to come with Song Yingxing.

However, this team of Jinyi guards is a bit strange, and the weapons they carry are neither embroidered knives nor revolvers, but hoes and shovels!

Well, it was probably when he was experimenting with cement that Zhu Cijiong found that people with high martial arts skills were particularly good at physical work, so this team of Jinyi Wei masters was directly sent by him as coolies.

Song Yingxing was a busy man, he didn't have time to greet Shen Yuanlong, and asked directly: "I heard that you have a place called Wuzhi Mountain in Miyun, do you know?" β€œ

Shen Yuanlong hurriedly replied: "Weichen knows, it is in the Yan Mountain thirty miles east of the city. β€œ

Song Yingxing then asked, "Have you been there?" β€œ

Shen Yuanlong really went there, and he replied without hesitation: "Weichen has been there." β€œ

It's good to have been there, Song Yingxing directly arched his hand and said: "Then it's troublesome Lord Shen, you hurry up and find a horse and take us over to have a look." β€œ

Shen Yuanlong hurriedly replied: "No trouble, no trouble, Lord Song, please wait." β€œ

After that, he turned around and ran to the city gate guard, asked for a horse, and then led Song Yingxing and the others to gallop eastward.

Thirty miles of fast horses and whips only two quarters of an hour, less than half an hour they rushed to the vicinity of Wuzhi Mountain, but the horses in the mountains could not run in, Shen Yuanlong directly found the local Lizheng, deposited the horses, and asked him to find a few strong men to open the road in front, and the group walked up the mountain like this.

Fortunately, Wuzhi Mountain is not very far from the official road, so they soon came to the foot of Wuzhi Mountain, and when they arrived at the ground, Song Yingxing didn't speak, he directly took out a pocket telescope from his arms, and looked across the river, sure enough, there were a lot of broken heads, Song Yingxing excitedly pointed to the opposite side and said: "That's it, let's go." β€œ

After that, he took the lead and walked to the other side of the river, and the accompanying Jinyi Wei naturally followed without hesitation, but Shen Yuanlong shouted in horror behind him: "Lord Song, you can't go, you can't go, there are goblins on the other side!" β€œ

Song Yingxing didn't look back and quipped: "I'm just here to catch goblins, haven't you seen that I brought so many Jinyi Wei masters!" β€œ

Shen Yuanlong was stunned when he heard this, but he immediately followed, not that he was suddenly not afraid of goblins, but that this Lord Song's identity was too special, if something happened to him here, the emperor would definitely not spare him, it was better to die with him!

The river in the mountains is not very wide, and there are many stones exposed to the water in the middle, Song Yingxing jumped over a few times with the support of the master of Jinyiwei, poor Shen Yuanlong, his legs and feet were already scared, and he was even more frightened when he crossed the river, so he hung in the water.

After Song Yingxing came to the other side, he directly found a place with a dense number of broken trees, pointed to a severed head tree that was scorched by thunder and said inside: "That's it, dig down the roots." β€œ

The accompanying Jinyi Wei master was also unambiguous, and directly pulled out the shovel and hoe inserted in his back, and dug around the place where Song Yingxing pointed, but Shen Yuanlong stood behind Song Yingxing and asked tremblingly: "Lord Song, what kind of goblin are you going to catch?" β€œ

Seeing that he was about to find iron ore, Song Yingxing was in a good mood, and couldn't help but continue to joke when he heard the words: "Native gold, gold is born of wood, and there is naturally an iron head under this severed head tree!" β€œ

Ironhead? Is there such a goblin? Shen Yuanlong was stunned, but he forgot to be scared for the time being, and just stood behind Song Yingxing in dodge, watching Jinyiwei's movements curiously.

A group of Jinyi Wei masters dug that is called a fast, less than a quarter of an hour to dig down almost five feet, however, soon they encountered resistance, only to see a Jinyi Wei master hoe down, "ding" sound, the hoe where the spark flashed, it seems to have dug something hard.

A group of Jinyi Wei masters naturally knew what they were here for, after the Jinyi Wei master dug up the hard things, the two colleagues with shovels next to him immediately surrounded him, and pulled out a stone in three strokes, just the size of a human head, and the hundred households who led the team hurriedly picked it up and held it up to Song Yingxing, and asked respectfully: "Lord Song, do you think this is it?" β€œ

Song Yingxing wiped off the soil on it with his hand, looked at it carefully, and then took it in his hand, and immediately concluded that this was iron ore, and it was of good quality, he couldn't help but say excitedly: "The iron head spirit has been found, dig a few more times, and see if there is anything below." β€œ

Hearing this, a group of brocade guards hurriedly continued to dig down, and the iron ore they dug up was naturally more and more, and for a while, there was a clanging and sparks splashing, which really seemed to be fighting monsters.

Song Yingxing saw this scene and hurriedly raised his hand to stop, they are not here to mine, just make sure that there is still iron ore below, there is no need to dig it out.

He personally ran to the faΓ§ade of the dug pit and took a closer look, and sure enough, it was all excellent iron ore!

There are broken heads of wood everywhere here, I'm afraid that the whole mountain is iron ore, now it's okay, it's so close to the capital, so much iron ore, and even the problem of transportation has been solved by directly building a railway, he winked at Shen Yuanlong, and said in a chattering voice: "The goblin is finished, let's go, hahahaha." β€œ

After that, he turned around and left, and those brocade guards hurriedly threw their hoes and shovels into the pit and followed, leaving Shen Yuanlong alone to stand there stupidly and mutter: "What kind of iron head essence, it's obviously ordinary iron ore, when I don't know it, how can I drop it?" Is this Lord Song crazy! β€œ

When he came back to his senses, Song Yingxing and the others were about to cross the river, and he was so frightened that he chased after him like his butt was smoking, and shouted while chasing: "Lord Song, wait for me, wait for me...... β€œ
