Mrs. Qing's eyes were like electricity, and she looked at Wu Barrier for a moment, and said with a slight smile: "Isn't there any other purpose for your lord to come here?" This sentence is very clear.

Wu Ji smiled slightly: "There is really something to find." ”

"What kind of thing, can the old body help you find it?"

"Fairy tears!"

When Mrs. Qing heard this, she trembled slightly, looked at the barrier, and chuckled: "My lord said that I laughed, the tears of the fairy, how can there be here, my lord should go to the Heavenly Palace to find it." ”

"Fairy tears, is a rare medicinal material, it can only bloom for a thousand years, it has only been recorded in Bashu, it is not encountered in a hundred years, it is hard to find a thousand gold, Mrs. is well-informed, haven't you heard of it?"

"The old man sent someone to look for it, and saw if he could help the adults find it. Then he asked: "The cultivation of this girl brought by the adult is not weak, I don't know where the teacher is?"

Miao Xinying said: "The late life is a disciple of Taishan, and now he is responsible for protecting the safety of adults. ”

When Mrs. Qing heard this, she was surprised and said: "Oh, I heard that Bixia Yuanjun never asks about the government, and even sent disciples to protect the important ministers of the court, it seems that the face of the adult is really not small." ”

Wu Barrier said: "Madame, can you take the late life to the mine now?"

Mrs. Qing said with a smile: "It's okay, but the old man is old, and his bones are not strong, so he can't go to the mine with the adults to inspect it, so let Ting Lan go on behalf of the old man, I will prepare thin wine and vegetarian dishes in the mansion, and wait for the adults to return to the house to rest." ”

Wujian got up and said, "Then thank you, madam!"

As soon as the words fell, a gorgeous woman walked into the inner courtyard, dressed in a blue and white breast-length skirt, with a light posture, indifferent, and extraordinary, presumably a master of the world raised by Mrs. Qing's family.

Wu Barrier said: "Miss Lao is leading the way!"

......

The mine is hidden at the foot of the mountain on the other side of the valley, Tinglan with no obstacles, Miaoxin two, introducing the local customs, walking very slowly, no more strong men, pedestrians on the road, no obstacles and no breaking.

Coming to a fork in the road, Tinglan wanted to lead to the left, but saw that the ruts on the road were sparse, and the ruts on the other road were dense, and Tinglan went to the right with Tinglan, Tinglan smiled slightly: "The adults are really discerning, and everything is hidden from the eyes of the adults!" said and turned to the right.

Approaching the mouth of the mine, the strong sour smell was pungent, Tinglan took out three moist silk handkerchiefs and handed them to the two of them, "The sour smell is too strong inside, please use it to cover your mouth and nose." "Demonstrate how to put it on yourself.

Oil lamps are burning on both sides of the tunnel in the mine, springs trickle from both sides of the roadside, red spars can be seen everywhere, the air is suffocating, the temperature is not cooler than outside, there is still no strong man, Wu Ji asked: "Where have all the strong men gone?"

Ting Lan said: "Unfortunately, today I am stopping my cultivation and rebuilding, and the strong men are resting." ”

Wu Barrier said: "Oh, then I can open the refining furnace to check." ”

No more words, has been walking half a pillar of incense time, came to an open space, the four walls are Dansha ore, a diameter of three or four zhang spherical furnace is located in the middle, around there are more than a dozen strong men are indeed repairing the furnace, the furnace is divided into two parts, the lower part is used to put wood heating, the middle part is separated by an iron plate, the smelting Dan sand ore is placed on it, the upper part is a large cover, there are exhaust holes, for the discharge of steam cooling, turned into mercury.

He swept around and said, "Why is there only this one refining furnace?"

Tinglan smiled: "This one is enough!"

Wuxian said in a deep voice: "Miss Tinglan is exaggerating, if there is only this one refining furnace, how long will it take for ten thousand catties of mercury to be refined, why does the girl have to hide her words, is there something unspeakable?"

"If you don't believe in Tinglan, you can stay for a few days, and then come and check when this refining furnace is repaired. ”

"In a few days, I'll be able to see you now!" he said, walking quickly towards the stone wall gate that emitted a wave of heat on the opposite side.

Tinglan stopped: "My lord, the exit is here!" Seeing that there was no obstacle and ignored it, he flew in front of him.

"You dare to stop the investigation of the Great Qin Imperial History!" said Wu Jian coldly.

"Tinglan doesn't dare, it's not safe over there, Tinglan is thinking about the safety of adults. ”

With a 'snort', a one-foot-long blue fire sword suddenly appeared in Miaoxin's hand, the flames were swallowing, the cold air was overwhelming, and the blade of the sword was against Ting Lan's eyes, "Get out of the way, I'm responsible for the safety of adults." ”

Ting Lan was not afraid of the edge of the 'Haixin Burial Fire', slanted her eyebrows at Miaoxin, and said with a slight smile: "I have heard that Taishan's swordsmanship is famous all over the world, and I am fortunate to meet today, and I want to ask for advice." As he spoke, the figure flashed, took a step back, and with a 'bang', there was an extra seven-section whip in his hand, and the true qi was running, and the seven-section whip turned into a red snake when it landed, and he flicked his tail uncertainly.

"If you lose, open this stone wall obediently and let the adults go in and check it out. ”

"What if you lose?"

"I won't lose, so don't ask, you can make a move!" Miao Xin said coldly after avoiding the obstacles.

"It's really a decent family, even the tone of your voice is so loud, okay, let's see how much real skill you have today!" As soon as the words fell, the person jumped up, and the seven whips slashed out with red light, like a thunderbolt, splitting down in the air.

Miaoxin saw the red light coming menacingly, knowing that Tinglan's true qi was strong, not to be underestimated, one-legged to the ground, the figure flew out obliquely, how did you know that the red light fell halfway, suddenly turned sharply, the electric sweep chased after it, Miaoxin was calm, the fire sword flashed softly, and greeted it, 'snap', the seven-section whip and the fire sword collided, the sparks splashed around, the whip tip bypassed the fire sword, and flew up Miaoxin's eyebrows.

Miao Xin didn't expect Tinglan's move to change so quickly, and she was secretly surprised, and the fire sword shook with a sound, and with a 'buzz' sound, it shook the whip and swept it backwards towards Tinglan who was flying down.

Ting Lan was secretly frightened, she didn't expect this divine fire to be so flexible, and she easily dissolved this trick of 'beating birds around the tree', running the true qi around her body, and instilling the whip, only to see the seven-section whip flying in the air, turning into several fire snakes, and spiraling around the door of Miaoxin.

"It's so vicious!" Miao Xinjiao shouted, the fire sword danced, whistling and flickering, 'bang bang ......', and the red light burst out, killing Tinglan's 'chaotic snake and skeleton' all the moment.

Tinglan was unwilling, and wanted to continue the attack, at this time, I saw Miaoxin swinging his sword and stabbing him, the fire sword was erratic, and shot out a blue light, he didn't dare to slack off, he waved his whip to block, and before he could stop it, the blue light chased out another one, almost instantly, and there were sixteen more behind him, rolling and splitting.

Tinglan's body flashed quickly, the seven-section whip rotated rapidly, covering the whole body, the "bell ......" colored light shot at the same time, Tinglan's arm was numb, the whip handle almost got out of his hand, "whoosh", a blue light did not resist, flew over his shoulder, swept off a few hairs, and with a "bang" sound, hit the stone wall, splitting a crack, the coldness and electricity all over his body, and he hurriedly stopped, "I lost!" The gap between the heart and the wonderful heart is not small.

"Boom ......" The heavy stone wall door slowly opened, and the heat wave mixed with the pungent sour smell rolled out, and Wu Ji had found the mechanism to open the door, Miao Xin ignored Ting Lan, and fell to Wu Ji's side like a flying swallow, and looked in with him.

Inside is a wide tunnel, and the sounds of chiseling, hey, and burning come from the depths.

"Since the adults insist on entering, come with me!" Ting Lan led and walked in front of him.

The further in, the higher the temperature, the more light the fire, and the more sunlight penetrated into the mine, and the next scene was shocking.

The towering mountains in the distance were mined into a hundred flat land, and there were tens of thousands of naked strong men working in sweat in the whole mine, hundreds of large refining furnaces stood in front of them, the wind box was whirring and pulling, the flames under the furnace were rolling, the heat wave was boiling, the mercury flowed slowly along the furnace trough, was collected, packed in wooden barrels and sealed, the rock drilling and quarrying clanged, and the teams carrying wood, ore and slag were dense and noisy.

The whole scene is even more cruel than the construction of the Great Wall, and the environment is even worse, but there is no angry scolding and reprimand from the officials, and most of them are the servile sweat of the struggle for life.

Miaoxin hurriedly turned her face away, not daring to look directly at those strong men, a little shy, mostly sentimental, silently reciting the mantra of purifying the heart.

Someone died violently, it was very simple to deal with, someone was responsible for carrying it to the slag truck, and it was buried in the valley not far away with the slag, the valley had been filled in, and he had watched it for a long time.

"The adults have also seen it, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, and the lady is still waiting for the adults to go back!" Ting Lan said leisurely.

......

There was nothing to say all the way, and when I returned to the virgin's house, the banquet had already been prepared, and Mrs. Qing changed into a peony skirt, which was even more luxurious, and when she saw the unobstacle returning, she got up and greeted her: "Look at this, your lord should now know how this mercury is refined, but there are undead in chaos?"

Wuji smiled slightly: "Late Sheng really found a clue." ”

Mrs. Qing let the lord sit and said, "Then please sit down and come and listen!"

After sitting down, he said calmly: "This mercury is too resentful, and it is to attract the indignation of the undead on the way to escort it, how many unjust souls are buried in this mine, Madame?"

Mrs. Qing sat down slowly, her face was calm when she heard the words, she poured a bottle of wine, looked at Wuji, and said softly: "Didn't the adults see it, naturally it is like a sea of corpses and bones, but it is not a soul, they are all voluntary, before entering the valley, they all signed the contract of life and death, we all paid a lot of money to their families, they know that they are going to die, what can the old body do, is the adult compassionate?"

"Madame thinks that by paying them, she can decide their life and death?"

Mrs. Qing said with a smile: "My lord has seen the fight on the battlefield, who will decide their life and death?" Raising the gold bottle, his beautiful eyes flowed, and he looked at the obstacles, "My lord still tastes the wine brewed in the old body first, and takes a sip, and Lord Zhun Bao will be relieved of everything." ”

Wu Jian lifted the golden bottle and said: "It's so magical, that night I want to take a sip to see if it works." As he spoke, he drank a small sip of sweet and fragrant Fenjiu, and rarely drank alcohol, and after a sip, he immediately felt warm in his abdomen and his spirit was uplifted, "It is indeed a good wine!"

Mrs. Qing smiled and said, "If the adult likes it, the old man will order someone to send a car to the adult." ”

"In fact, the late life has no interest in wine, and the lady does not need to give it away. Wuji put down the golden bottle, looked at Mrs. Qing and said lightly.

"Oh, what are you interested in?" The autumn water flowed, and said slightly to Miao Xin, who was sitting beside Wu Shu, "Miao girl, come and taste it too!" The maid reached out and filled the gold bottle in front of Miao Xin.

Miaoxin said: "Mrs. Xie is kind, but Miaoxin doesn't know how to drink!"

Mrs. Qing pointed to a few small plates of pastries on the table and said, "I forgot, Taishan disciples don't drink alcohol, but this is specially prepared for girls, please feel free!"

Wuji asked calmly: "Madame, aren't you afraid that I will participate in the performance of His Majesty when I go back?"

Mrs. Qing was stunned when she heard this, and suddenly showed her posture, and said with a coquettish smile: "Do you know who the old man is doing things for?"

"Naturally, I know, but Madame doesn't just seem to be doing things for him!"

"Oh?" put down the golden bottle and asked, "Then the lord said, the old body is not for him, so for whom?"

"Madame has no children under her knees, what do you want so much money for?"

"It takes a huge amount of money to recruit strong men, and the small profits obtained are also accumulated and donated, where will too much money be saved, and besides, the old man is short-sighted and likes the worldly things, and adults should also see it. ”

"If you want to investigate carefully, you will always find out, do you still need to say more about the juniors? Madame's business is indeed wonderful, not only has it been recognized by His Majesty, its name has been passed down through the ages, but it has also obtained money, and more importantly, tens of thousands of mercenaries, but it has only suffered those desperate people, can the resentment after death not be heavy?"

Mrs. Qing listened to the unobstructed point, and her face suddenly turned cold, "My lord, I really came to embarrass the old man, what do you want?"
