Chapter 6 The Spirit Stone of the Pit Daddy
Hua is not big, only has five counties and one royal city, and has a population of more than 9 million.
Among them, Qiyun County has jurisdiction over six counties and is adjacent to the impoverished Yunshan.
In Lushui County, the most remote county in the southeast, a hunter got lost in the mountains and picked up a crystal clear pebble by a small stream. I thought it was jade, and I dedicated it to the county order.
Although Li Xianling is not a monk, he has read a lot of books, and he feels that it looks like the legendary spirit stone. So he rewarded Orion with three taels of silver, and told him not to spread the word, and to go into the mountains again to find out where the stone was found. At the same time, he repaired a letter and told the county guard.
Heaven and earth vitality, gather and live.
The so-called aura is the most condensed and pure vitality.
The Yuan Qi between heaven and earth is mixed, and even if a martial artist refines a large amount of Yuan Qi, he often only stores a little bit of True Qi, but it is still confused and dirty. The monk's Cave Heaven Blessed Land is rich in spiritual energy, and it can almost be directly transformed into true qi.
There is a huge difference between force and mana, and it has a great relationship with aura. Even a peerless military general, in the face of a great monk who flies into the sky, he is only equivalent to a slave.
The spirit stone is a stone that contains spiritual energy, which is more expensive than gold.
If this stone in Lushui County is a spirit stone, it means that there may be a vein nearby.
That's a big deal!
Not only is Qiyun County developed, but the strength of the entire country of China has to be improved a lot.
The letter was sent for five days, but no instructions were received from the county warden. The hunters who entered the mountain again did not turn around, and it is estimated that something happened to them. The stakes are serious, and Li County's order cannot wait. The secret order was to rush to the county seat with stones to explain the situation.
The spirit stone will emit aura, and in order to prevent snatching, Li Xianling came up with a wonderful method. A cart of pickled salted fish is used to disguise the smell, and a tin foil is wrapped in a stone and hidden in a pickle jar.
The masked boss is the right-hand man of the giant "A Gust of Wind".
The tall man is called Lu Gui, and he only obeys the boss's orders. I heard him mysteriously mention that the head is an extremely powerful monk.
Jukou has been crisscrossing Yunjun for many years with a gust of wind, and no one has seen his true face. I don't know where to get the news, and ordered the three of them to rush to Lushui last night to kill Li County and order the mouth to be extinguished. After the incident, the three of them learned that Ma Kong had rushed to the county half a day in advance, so they chased after him.
Next, there is the scene that happened in the mountain temple.
After Lu Gui finished speaking, the temple was silent.
The crowd turned pale and looked at the boy in horror, waiting for the verdict. If he also came for the spirit stone, he might kill people.
"Oh, I see."
Xintianyou was not alarmed, and ordered: "Go and find out the spirit stone." ”
Lu Gui was confident and went straight to the pickle jar. But I took out a lump of mustard and crushed it, but I didn't find a stone. Crying and mourning, scratching his ears and cheeks, and running to the side hall to search.
Ma Cuihua kindly reminded.
"My dad wants to simmer the pickles and eat them, and there's a lump buried in the ash pit, you can plane and see."
When Ma Kong heard this, he was so depressed that he almost vomited blood, and glanced at his daughter.
Is this still biological, it's just a cheat!
The girl gave him a blank look, and said in her heart, hmph, even if I don't say it, Xiaotian will know.
Sure enough, the black mustard that had been cut out of the ashes was broken, revealing a silver glittering thing, and I couldn't tell what it was.
Lu Gui looked at the young man and asked:
"My hands are dirty, go outside and wash them, okay?"
Mr. Xi snorted coldly, stepped forward to stop Lu Gui, and took the initiative to ask for help.
"Shaoxia, the stakes are very high, and we can't let him escape secretly. And you are accompanied by Xi, how about watching it? ”
Xintianyou shook his head and said:
"No, he didn't dare to run. Your young lady's acupoint doesn't seem to have been unlocked yet. ”
Xi Qianli was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly got out of the way and went to solve Dong Shumin's acupoints.
After a while, Lu Gui turned back from the apse and carefully peeled off the tin foil. A stone slightly larger than a pigeon's egg was immediately revealed, and the quiet atmosphere overflowed.
Everyone suddenly felt refreshed, every pore was extremely comfortable, and their eyes were curious. Most people have only heard of it, but they have never seen a spirit stone.
Dong Shumin was unlocked the acupoint, and her legs and feet were a little weak. Pushed away the maidservant, walked forward like a willow in the wind, picked up the stone and looked at it, closed his eyes and clenched his fist, and said:
"It's really a spirit stone, even better than the quality I've used. Mr. Brook, come and take a look. ”
Xi Qianli stepped forward to take the stone, studied it, and said:
"It is indeed a low-grade spirit stone, and the aura is pure. It was ground into an oval shape, presumably washed down from the upper reaches of the stream. The time of exposure should not be short, and the aura has not run clean. At the beginning, it may have been the best, or even the best. If the vein is large enough, the young man escort is meritorious, and thousands of households can be sealed after the imperial court is played. ”
After speaking, he handed the spirit stone back to Xintianyou, ripped off Lu Gui's face towel, pointed at his nose and scolded:
"Thief embryo, An dares to kill the court officials. You, you, deserve a thousand cuts......"
Xi Qianli's eyes widened, the fierce light was revealed, and he raised his slap violently. But seeing that the young man looked over with a smile, his palm suddenly froze in the air, and he stroked his beard and sighed heavily.
Lu Gui lowered his head and muttered:
"Li County's order was killed by the boss, and I just want to watch the wind. At night, the county magistrate's wife and the maid brought soup to the study. It was I who knocked them out halfway to save the lives of two people. There is also a way to steal, I don't kill the weak......"
Xintianyou interrupted the conversation and said disdainfully:
"Cut, you're less. A robber is a robber, so what? Don't pretend to be a saint. ”
Miss Dong is a self-acquaintance, and she is bolder than the sky. He looked at the boy with a smile and said:
"Hey, Miss Ben really didn't misunderstand you, the living dead......"
The boy frowned and said:
"My name is Xintianyou, not the living dead."
Dong Shumin covered her mouth and chuckled, and suddenly remembered something. He tiptoed out a few steps, climbed the door frame and looked for a while, then stuck out his tongue and retracted, and asked:
"Xintianyou, you're not afraid of the big tiger outside."
Seeing that the young man was silent, she didn't feel bored, so she squeezed to Ma Cuihua's side to roast the fire, and muttered: "I hate the spring cold the most, it rains at every turn, and I die of cold." ”
Xintianyou glanced at everyone and spoke coldly.
"Everything you see and hear today will rot in your stomach. The spirit mine is not ordered by Li County, it is not a gust of wind, and it is not the imperial court...... Comments? ”
Everyone looked at each other, who dared to have an opinion?
Xi Qianli thought that he wanted to monopolize the spirit mine, so he took the lead in expressing his position and said:
"Born with spiritual creatures, naturally inhabited by the strong. Let the young man send out the spirit mine, we will never confide a word to the public. ”
Xintianyou snorted and said:
"I won't live in it, it originally belonged to Yunshan. If a large group of men and horses go into the mountains to mine, how many beasts will have to die? Flowers and trees have lost their spiritual energy, how much will they wither? ”
Everyone was puzzled, thinking, aren't wild beasts just for people to kill, and aren't flowers and trees for people to cut down?
Xintian Tour:
"There are people entrenched in the mountains, and they have engaged in a sixteen-year tug-of-war with the Zhennan army. In my opinion, it may not be possible to dispatch troops to conquer the country, so how can it be good to mine? Mr. Brook, don't you say? ”
Xi Qianli nodded frequently like a chicken pecking rice, and said, exactly, exactly......
Xintianyou continued:
"What's more, are spirit stones so easy to find? The terrain of Yunshan is complex, with fierce beasts and poisonous insects entrenched, and countless streams. Although Orion has been to the creek, I am afraid that he cannot describe the direction clearly. Rushing to go deep into the prospecting is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and you will die for a lifetime. It's better to bury those ores in the mountains. Mr. Xi, do you think it's okay? ”
Xi Qianli smiled, okay, it should be like this.
Xintianyou didn't wait for the other party's voice to land, sped up the speed of speech, and then said:
"I guess even in the letter of Li County's order, the location is not clearly marked. Mr. Creek, are you right? ”
"Yes, it does...... Hahahaha......"
Xi Qianli only spoke, his face stiffened and stopped again, and he hit a few inexplicable dry babas in a row.
The boy stopped talking, and walked straight back to the place where the fire was burning and sat down.
Everyone didn't react, but Dong Shumin was smart, stood up and stared at Xi Qianli suspiciously, and asked coldly:
"Mr. Xi, did you withhold the letter and didn't show it to my father?"
Xi Qianli smiled:
"Miss Dong, how is this possible? The official letters submitted by the counties, the notices issued by the royal city, plus the salt transportation, political affairs, agriculture, water conservancy, and military affairs...... And so on, dozens of letters a day, and I will classify them and present them to the county keeper according to their priority. After he confessed, it was handled by the various yamen. Xi has served as a staff member for many years and has never made a mistake. It's impossible to demolish it privately, so let's see it first, right? Unless there is an unknown prophet, the letter can be withheld. ”
Xintianyou turned the spirit stone between his fingers, stuffed it into Ma Cuihua casually, and said:
"Mr. Xi's performance, the more you watch it, the more interesting it becomes. Master said that people's hearts are deceitful, but I have never understood it. On the first day of the descent, you learned a vivid lesson, worthy of a gust of wind. ”
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was shocked, and the dejected Lu Gui raised his head suddenly.
Xi Qianli reluctantly smiled:
"Haha...... How could Xi be a robber? The joke is a bit big, and the young man is really good at joking. ”
Everyone held their breath and waited for the following.
Xintianyou stirred the fire with a stick, stacked two dry firewoods, stood up and slapped the dust on his palm, and said:
"Li Xianling can't distinguish the spirit stone, and it's inconvenient to ask, so he will definitely put it on the desk for research, and the letter is contaminated with aura. Ordinary people can't notice it at all, but Mr. Xi is a mage of the Nether Realm, and he is extremely sensitive to aura, and he knows that it is very unusual. A noble mage, disguised as a down-and-out scholar, diligent, hard-working, what kind of mental illness is this?
"If you want to improve your strength, you can't do without cultivating resources. So he was a staff member in the open and a giant in secret. I dare to assert that a gust of wind must have appeared after Mr. Xi arrived in Qiyun County. He is at the center of the government and knows the action well, so of course it is impossible to be captured.
Mr. Xi withheld the letter, ordered his subordinates to kill Li County, and rushed to Yunshan in person. Today, instead of hunting mandrills, he is looking for the creek mentioned in the letter. Unfortunately, I finally entered the mountain, and it rained again, so I had to withdraw in a hurry. Why didn't you unlock the acupoint for Miss Dong as soon as possible just now, because I was afraid of exposing my strength in front of me.
"I picked a rainy day to sneak out, the little flowers, little black, little green, little yellow in the mountains, I must be reluctant. When the rainstorm washes away the smell traces, they can't figure out the direction and don't chase after them. I didn't expect to encounter a good show here, and I could easily solve the hidden dangers of Yunshan......"
Everyone's faces became more and more gloomy, and even the guard Zhao Jia quietly reached out and pressed the hilt of the knife.
Xi Qianli didn't wait for the young man to finish speaking, his face was solemn, and he arched his hand:
"Let's live...... Xin Shaoxia must be a disciple of the hermit master, but he can't be innocent with red lips and white teeth. Let's ask, if a certain prospecting in Ruoxi, why do you want to bring people from the county guard, isn't it very inconvenient? If there is a gust of wind, why did he fight with the bandit leader at the cost of life and death and was seriously injured?
"In Qiyun County, who doesn't know that Xi has a clear name, and a little bit of his meager salary is used to help the poor...... In last year's flood, Xi stubbornly guarded the river embankment, and he didn't fit his eyes for three days and three nights. The year before last, there was a severe drought, and the grain harvest was lost. Xi personally escorted grain to all counties, townships, and villages to crack down on the hoarding of gentry ......"
Syllable!
There was a crunch.
Everyone thought that the bamboo in the fire had exploded, and they were shocked. When I looked at it again, it was Xintianyou twisting his fingers.
They had never seen "snapping their fingers", thinking that they had cast a spell, similar to the Taoist handicraft and the Buddha's mudra. Even the surging stream Qianli immediately stopped, pedaling and retreating several steps.
Fortunately, there was not a single golden light coming out of the boy's hand.
