Chapter 91: The Root of Yan County
As soon as the four of them stepped out of the gate of Nie's house, Nie Hua chased after them from behind, "Sister Youlan, where are you going?"
"Go to the mines!"
"What about the three of them?" Nie Hua pointed at Yuanwei and the others, his tone full of disdain.
Since Nie Youlan and Yuanwei came together, she has gradually pounced on Yuanwei with all her heart. In addition, Nie Hua taught Nie Cai, Feng Rundong and injured Yuanwei a few days ago, she was already very dissatisfied with Nie Hua, so her tone of voice was not very polite, "Of course they will follow me to the mine, do you have any opinions?"
"Uncle said before that the mine is the lifeline of the Nie family, and outsiders are not allowed to enter, so how can they go to the mine?" Nie Hua said heartbrokenly.
"That was before, the Nie family's mine was occupied by Haoyang hunters in the Haoyang disaster, and the spirit stones in it were almost completely mined, and we just went to collect worthless associated ores, which is also worth making a fuss about? Besides, Little Tail is my father's apprentice, Nie Cai is his own grandson, and Rundong is his apprentice, who do you think is an outsider?" Nie Youlan was angry, if it weren't for Nie Hua's much higher realm than her, she would have kicked him away.
"I don't care, anyway, the uncle said that you and Nie Cai can go to the mine, but the other two can't. Besides, the ruins of Yanjun City also need to be cleaned up, it is said that the Qiao family has already started work there, Yuanwei, you'd better clean up the ruins, don't go to the mine to find yourself ugly. Nie Hua said and turned to Yuanwei, which meant to let him retreat.
"What Senior Brother Nie Hua said makes sense, why don't I take Rundong to the ruins, maybe I will help. Yuan Wei stroked Nie Youlan's hair, calming her down. Studying the paper pattern is Motoo's biggest interest at the moment, and if he cleans up the ruins, he may be able to find more ancient bricks with paper patterns.
Nie Youlan smiled, "Okay, then let's go clean up the ruins together." Then he took Yuanwei's arm and walked away, leaving Nie Hua behind him to beat his chest, eager to tear Yuanwei to pieces to relieve the hatred in his heart.
Inside the city of Yan County.
New buildings have sprung up all the time, such as general stores, spiritual weapon shops, tailors' shops, elixir shops, inns, and the courtyards of the immortal cultivators' own residences that have survived the disaster. And those huge buildings such as the Hall of Elders, the guard camp, the county guard's mansion, the commercial port, and even the city wall and city gate are still in ruins, and it is precisely these buildings that are directly related to the foundation of the existence of a Xiuxian City, if the Nie family can rebuild these buildings by themselves, then the Yan County City will be the city of the Nie family. It's a pity that the Nie family doesn't have such financial resources, and other immortal cultivation families and sects don't allow the Nie family to do this.
In front of the ruins of the Hall of Elders in the center of the city, Qiao Mai, a child of the Qiao family, was directing several little brothers to clean up the broken bricks and tiles. After nearly three years of intermittent sorting out by various forces, the foundation of the Hall of Elders at this time has been cleared. Those broken bricks and tiles are neatly piled aside, and some people may want to be able to reuse waste and save some manpower and financial resources when rebuilding.
I haven't seen him for a few years, Qiao Mai is already in the realm of the Four Heavens of Gathering Spirits, this kind of cultivation speed is indeed strange, and Qiao Mai is indeed recognized as the number one young talent in Yanjun City.
Seeing the arrival of Yuan Wei and the others, Qiao Mai was not surprised, and greeted warmly with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "I have long heard that Senior Brother Yuan has returned safely, but I have never had the opportunity to see Senior Brother Yuan's demeanor." When I saw it today, Senior Brother Yuan was really a genius, and he had cultivated to the Gathering Spirit Realm in just a few years, and he admired and admired him. ”
"Senior Brother Qiao has won the award, if he can't reach the realm of Senior Brother Qiao, how dare Yuanwei be called a genius. Yuanwei also smiled and greeted him, in order to save Nie Tianlei back then, Yuanwei once took Qiao Mai's trick, so he was deeply impressed.
"Sister Youlan is getting more and more beautiful, a few years ago, my sister liked to follow me, but at that time you were still a little girl who didn't grow. Looking at my sister's current beauty, I really regret it. Qiao Mai turned to Nie Youlan again.
Before befriending Yuanwei, Nie Youlan liked to chase young and handsome young talents, and naturally she would not let go of Qiao Mai, who was known as the genius of the first day of Yanjun City, but Qiao Mai at that time ignored her, which used to be a pain in Nie Youlan's heart. Qiao Mai mentioned the past at this time, and naturally had bad intentions.
Nie Youlan's nose was crooked, she pointed at Qiao Mai and scolded loudly, "Qiao Mai, what nonsense are you talking about, how can I fall in love with someone like you who pretends to be tall!
Qiao Mai was not angry, "Sister, don't be in a hurry to leave, since you are here, it is better to clean up this Hall of Elders with us, and it can be regarded as contributing to the reconstruction of Yanjun City." Well, in this case, why don't you transport these broken bricks and tiles out of the city. I don't know who piled up this garbage here, do you still want to use this waste to rebuild the Hall of Elders? Our Qiao family has already collected a large amount of ore, and it is good to use new bricks and tiles to rebuild the Hall of Elders!"
Nie Youlan couldn't bear Qiao Mai's humiliation, she reached out and took out a slender green long sword, brandishing it to assassinate Qiao Mai. Yuan Wei turned his hand and pulled her into his arms and said, "Senior Brother Qiao can't be busy, why don't we help him." Supposedly, I still have to thank Senior Brother Qiao, if he had gotten along with you back then, where would I go to find another senior sister like you who is both beautiful and in love?"
Yuan Wei said, the snake staff poked heavily on the ground, and dozens of cyan dragon shadows roared out of the ground, sweeping away those broken bricks and tiles and bringing them into his five-grade Qiankun bag. In just a few breaths, the hundreds of thousands of broken bricks and tiles disappeared. Yuanwei pinched the bulging Qiankun bag, and his heart jumped suddenly, "Senior Brother Qiao, you continue to clean up, and when those broken bricks and tiles accumulate to a certain amount, I will help you again." After speaking, he pulled Nie Youlan and walked away calmly.
"Little tail, don't listen to Qiao Mai's nonsense, I've never liked him..."Nie Youlan pulled the corner of Yuanwei's clothes and carefully defended.
Yuanwei's mind was not on it at all, he led the three of them to a hidden place outside the city, the Qiankun bag was overturned, and the broken bricks and tiles were dumped on the ground.
"Nie Cai, Feng Rundong, there are things that the master needs in these bricks and tiles, you search carefully for me, find those with such patterns, pick them all out, if you find too much, I will forge a satisfactory weapon for each of you!" Yuan Wei bent down and picked up a complete wall brick from the ground, pointed to the shallow pattern on it and smiled to lure the two apprentices.
After following Yuanwei for a long time, Nie Cai and Feng Rundong naturally knew that he was good at forging spiritual weapons, so they had always wanted to get some good spiritual weapons from their master, but Yuanwei said that good spiritual weapons were easy to make people dependent and not conducive to cultivation, so they never agreed. Now Yuanwei's promise undoubtedly aroused the interest of the two of them to the greatest extent, and Nie Cai and Feng Rundong got busy without saying a word.
"Little tail, don't you forget me, you see that my sword is only a second-grade spiritual weapon, when will you forge a better one for me?" Nie Youlan said as she leaned over.
Yuan Wei was in a good mood and agreed without hesitation.
The reason why Yuan Wei was willing to come to Yanjun City and promised Qiao Mai to carry the broken bricks and tiles was because he found traces of mysterious paper patterns in the broken bricks and tiles of the Elders' Palace, and he saw that those bricks were the bricks at the foundation of the main hall. Yuanwei packed it and took it away, the purpose was to find more paper-patterned ancient bricks. He believed that if he found enough ancient bricks, he would be able to unlock the secrets.
"Paperclips... The root of Tsubame County... Does this ancient brick have anything to do with the root of Yanjun?" Motowei thought about it, and muttered involuntarily.
"The roots of Yan County, is it possible that Yan County City is a big tree, and the roots of the trees buried in the ground, and what are the paper patterns?" Nie Youlan couldn't help but ask puzzled after hearing a few words.
Yuan Wei was stunned for a moment, and suddenly ecstatic. The mystery of this confusion in his heart was solved at once, and the root of Yanjun is that Yanjun City has a foundation that can revive the city. Only such a secret can make the Great Elder and the county guard Zhu Zizi trust each other in life and death. Moreover, this root is definitely related to the paper pattern.
Yuanwei grabbed Nie Youlan's arm excitedly, "Sister Youlan, you are too smart." Give me a little time, and I can restore this Yan County City to its original state!"
Nie Youlan didn't understand, but Yuanwei didn't explain, but happily continued to look for treasure in the pile of broken bricks and rubble.
An hour later, under the gaze of Nie Youlan holding her cheeks, the three of Yuanwei and the apprentice actually found a number of broken bricks with paper clips. Yuan Wei put it together and finally got eight complete gray ancient bricks.
