[The book continues from the above, the last book said that Mu Qingming and Mo Han talked about the night before going to bed, and casually talked about the strange things that happened during this day, and when it came to the efficacy, it was suddenly a lot more broad-minded and clearer. Mu Qingming had probably guessed who broke the formation to take the dragon's tooth and what he was going to do. And the next day, the East and West Protectors of the Immortal Dao acted again. This time, they were going to help Liu Yang find another material to create the evil soldier. The East Protector was full of confidence, and was not worried about the search for iron, and explained some of the characteristics of the Sealed Dragon Iron to the West Protector, telling the other party that as long as he mastered these characteristics, he would use this to find the Sealed Dragon Iron. And said to the Western Protector that it won't be long before Liu Yang can get his wish. 】

The entrance and exit of the Immortal Dao stronghold slowly opened when the guard's hand was pinched out.

Wisps of bright and warm sunlight poured in along with the howling wind on the top of the mountain.

The two Dharma Protectors took the disciples, handed them the hats, and put them on their heads. The wide eaves of the hat were slightly hidden, and their faces were only dark purple and black skin after they had been resurrected from the dead.

The shadows under the hats shrouded the facial features of their faces, and if they didn't look closely, the two of them seemed to be tanned by the strong ultraviolet rays of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, not like there was anything strange and worth fussing about, and it was not eye-catching.

A strong wind rushed in, blowing the robes on the two Dharma protectors, and the corpse qi on their bodies fluttered with the wind, quickly diffusing towards the secret passage in the stronghold behind them.

The East and West Protectors stepped forward in unison and walked towards the outside of the stronghold.

Soon, they walked out of the dim stronghold of the Immortal Dao, and came to the small stone forest on the top of the West Mountain, where the wind was howling and the sun was shining.

The rugged and strange rocks are of different heights and strange forms, standing proudly on the top of the mountain in the wind, bathed in the sun. The coldness that had accumulated in the stones after the night gradually dissipated as the sun rose.

"In the vast middle of Yunnan, there are 500 miles of Dianchi Lake alone." The West Protector held the hat on his head with one hand, so as not to be blown by the wind, and turned to face the foot of Xishan Mountain, where the pond was surrounded by fragrant rice in the sun, thousands of acres of clear sand, and the blue waves and silver waves in the lake were rolling non-stop: "Central Yunnan is bigger, the land is vast, and the mountains are innumerable, how to find this dragon iron?" ”。

The East Protector, who was standing side by side with him, did not answer, but silently watched around the mountain.

"West Protector, as an old-timer, you should know Taibai Jing, right?" After a moment, the Eastern Protector said this and moved his gaze to the sparkling Dianchi Lake at the foot of the mountain.

On the Dianchi Lake, which has thousands of sails, there are all kinds of waterway transport ships, there are sailboats and small steamers with black smoke, carrying all kinds of materials to and from the east and west banks of Dianchi Lake.

"Isn't that the essence of Taibai Xing (Taibai Xing is Venus)?" The old man obviously knew about this, and blurted out an answer without thinking.

"There are thousands of qi on the ground, all of which are precious to gold. And all the spirits in the heavens are honored by Taibai. The East Protector, who nodded, continued to overlook the lake at the foot of the mountain, and said slowly: "Wherever the Taibai essence gathers, there will be purple qi that is difficult to see with the naked eye, and it will not disperse. ”。

As soon as he finished speaking, the Western Protector, who was still holding the hat, grabbed the words a little impatiently: "Yes, but we are not here to find Taibai Jing. ”。

"That's true; However, the Sealing Dragon Iron will absorb the spirit of heaven and earth, and in the aura of heaven, the noble Taibai essence is very obvious. Once it landed, it was bound to be a purple pillar of light falling from the sky. Where the sealed dragon iron is, there will be a pillar of purple light of Taibai essence rising into the sky, connecting with the Taibai star in the night sky to form a line. The East Protector raised the corners of his mouth and said confidently to Naxi Protector: "Dozens of miles or even hundreds of miles away, our eyes that are not the naked eye can see clearly. ”。

"Can the Sealed Dragon Iron still absorb the breath of the stars in the sky?" The Western Protector obviously didn't know this effect of the Sealing Dragon Iron this time, and when he turned his head to look at the Eastern Protector for a while, his face showed surprise.

"If it can absorb the qi of heaven and earth and transform it into a special metal that strengthens itself, how can it only absorb the spirit of the earth?" The East Protector still didn't withdraw his gaze, his searching gaze swept over the Dianchi Lake under the mountain, and his mouth continued: "If it is cast into a magic weapon, without the drive of the master, the sealing dragon iron will automatically absorb the aura of heaven and earth slowly, and the traces of searching will naturally be difficult to detect. But what we are going to find is the dragon sealing iron that has not yet been forged into a magic weapon, and the wild iron that the dragon lockers call it. Once this kind of dragon sealing iron is set into the night, when the Taibai Star rises, the dragon sealing iron in the ground will begin to be unscrupulous, absorbing the Taibai essence of the Taibai Star without restraint, not to mention the vast land in the vast central Yunnan at that time. We just have to go all over the country to find it, and we can easily find this dragon iron, and the Western Protector doesn't have to worry or worry too much. ”。

After saying this, the Eastern Protector slowly withdrew his gaze, and looked up again at the blue sky and white clouds overhead.

Seeing that he was so confident, the Western Protector on the side was not anxious, so he simply said: "It's still early in the night, let's go, let's continue to go back to the stronghold and play with those disciples, why come out and suffer from the wind and sun?" ”。

After saying that, the West Protector turned around and was about to go back.

But before he took a step, he was grabbed by the East Protector and naturally shook his hand after he stepped forward.

The West Protector paused, turned his head back to look at the East Protector, and saw that the East Protector still had a smile on his face.

"Don't worry, don't worry." The East Protector glanced at the cuffs of the West Protector that were blown by the mountain wind, which was where the money was stored; Then he continued to smile and said: "It's out, don't you want to taste this Yunnan Chinese cuisine?" Let's find a place, a kind of tavern in the countryside, drink a good day's wine, order delicious side dishes and home-cooked food many times, pay a good tribute to the temple of the five organs, and stay until the evening in action. ”。

By the time he finished speaking, the East Protector had already let go of his hand.

The Naxi Protector slowly turned around, thought for a moment under the bright sun, and felt that this proposal would also allow him and the Eastern Protector to have a good time for a day, and save himself from going back to the damp and slightly musty Changshengdao stronghold.

So the West Protector also nodded happily and said, "Yes, anyway, Sect Leader Liu Yang and Liu gave a lot of money, let's go, let's drink." ”。

The East Protector smiled and didn't say a word, but after nodding his head, he walked down the mountain road with the Naxi Protector and headed down the mountain......

Down the mountain, in the middle of the city.

On the edge of Cuihu, in the southwest of Cuihu, there is a small street running north-south, connecting the streets of Cuihu South Road and Wenlin Street.

This small street with lush banyan trees and verdant bamboo bushes on both sides of the road is called Qian Ju Street.

Speaking of this street, there is also a story. It is said that most of the currency in the Qing Dynasty was copper coins, and most of the raw materials for minting copper coins at that time were transported from Yunnan to Beijing. Due to the long distance of transportation, Qing ** simply handed over the work of minting money to Yunnan. According to the records of the "Yunnan Tongzhi" during the Yongzheng Emperor's period, in the seventeenth year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1660 AD), the first time in Yunnan to start coinage, Kunming as the base for casting money, and in Dongchuan and other places to set up a casting furnace, Wu Zhou set up the Baoyun Money Bureau in Kunming to preside over the money-making.

The place where this Baoyun Money Bureau is located is this Money Bureau Street. Because the money bureau is located here, this road has been renamed as the money bureau street since then; The name is still in use today.

And there is also a local saying in Kunming, saying: "The chimney of Qianju Street - Erqi", "Erqi" is the dialect of Kunming people, describing someone's words and deeds are not normal and reasonable. And the reason why this word can be associated with Qianju Street is because there was a Yunnan mint on Qianju Street very early on, with two chimneys in it, and the smoke was constant.

Once the furnace is minted, the two chimneys must be thick smoke billowing up, and it is indeed two gases, no more, no less, but it is also very appropriate.

But Kangqian was short-lived, and soon dissipated like a cloud of smoke, and the Qing Dynasty was about to run out, and in the Guangxu years, this storm was shaky, and the emperor and the queen mother themselves were a little precarious, and they had no time to take care of too much, and the coins of the Qing Dynasty were naturally a mess. In the 33rd year of Guangxu (1707 AD), the Qing Dynasty changed the Baoyun Money Bureau to the Yunnan Mint Branch of the Degree Branch, hoping to re-mint fine coins to save the economic crisis.

Not to mention, Yan Mou, the general office of the Mint at that time, really achieved this purpose, but he created this "political achievement" method, so this coin-made coin also began to buy raw materials on a large scale regardless of the cost. After the local people in Kunming knew, everyone just smiled and stopped, and they all knew that the money was cast, and the officials also ate fat.

A few years later, the Kunming Chongjiu Uprising broke out, and the Republic of China renamed the Mint Yunnan Mint. There are coins such as "Tang Head" and "Half Open" printed on the coins with the head of Tang Jiyao flowing from here to the whole of Yunnan.

Therefore, the people of Kunming also think that this money bureau street is the place of wealth gathering in Kunming, and there are often people at the end of the road who bow on the side of the road, not asking for children or seeking peace, just for money.

The disciples of Mu Qingming, Jiaoyun and Long Gu, were standing at the end of the street at this time, watching a few people gather together, inserting incense on the side of the road, and constantly kowtowing to the fragrance, and there were words in their mouths, I don't know what they were chattering?

"Senior sister, look, what are they talking about?" Long Gu, who didn't know that the people were begging for money, tugged at the cuffs of Jiaoyun beside her and asked in a low voice.

Although Long Gu is much older than Kyaukyun, the rule of the dragon lockers is that the first to enter is the elder sister, and it has nothing to do with age. In addition, her Long Gu is indeed well maintained, and there is not much difference between her appearance and that young Jiaoyun, so there is nothing awkward about this senior sister shouting.

At this time, it was early spring, and between the canopies of the banyan trees on both sides of Qianju Road, which had not yet flourished, the beams of sunlight shone on the few people who worshipped sincerely, and the shade of the trees became a mottled silhouette.

When the clouds looked around, the people were not only bowing and burning incense, but also a small bronze statue of a god on the side of the road. The statue was the size of an adult's fist, and it stood under a banyan tree by the side of the road.

The image is wearing an iron crown, holding a whip, a black face and a thick beard, and a black tiger with a hideous face.

Kyaukyun is a child from the ghost market, what god has not been seen, as soon as he sees this statue, he knows that it is the legendary god of martial arts Zhao Gongming.

According to the classic book "Three Religions Sou Shen Daquan", which narrates the biographies of ancient folk religious figures and the deeds of immortals, Zhao Gongming is miraculous and versatile, with infinite changes, able to drive thunder and electricity, call for rain and wind, reduce plague and cut malaria, and save life and solve disasters. Therefore, it is called "the great merit of the marshal".

Before Jiaoyun could answer, Miao Le, who had already walked on the slope of the Qian Bureau Street, found that the master and nephew had not followed, so he turned back, stood beside the two teachers and nephews, glanced at the people who were worshipping the God of Wealth not far away, and said: "What is there to see about worshiping the God of Wealth, follow me to the Qian Bureau Street to check the matter." ”。

What are the people going to check on Qianju Street? Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.
