Lilac Town is more than 200 miles away from Ding Qin's current location.

Ding Qin had been there once before.

It was a medium-sized town, and it was doing fairly well because of the minerals all around.

Such places are often the places where there are the most copycats of the ugly Yuan Sect. Therefore, Ding Qin visited three sects in a row there, one of which changed back to its original name, and the other two were directly dismissed.

And these three, just Ding Qin asked about the news of Romon. Their answer was quite unanimous: they had heard of Rohmon in the early days, but had never met him.

The implication is that everyone doesn't know that the person who once asked them to change their name or build a new sect is the legendary Luomen.

Ding Qin really didn't expect that the wife of the He family was there.

Ding Qin was moving at full speed. He ran for more than four hours in a row, walked nearly 100 miles, and faintly felt tired. It was just around noon, so he found a place to rest, ate something, and moved on.

It wasn't until late evening that he finally reached the top of a hill northeast of Lilac Town.

From here, Lilac Town is brightly lit. However, about ten miles to the north of it, it was pitch black.

For the sake of insurance, Ding Qin still went to the town first. In a small inn, Ding Qin asked the shopkeeper about the copper mine.

It is said that the copper mine was the original source of income for Lilac Town, which was about a hundred years old. The mine was excavated diagonally downward, perhaps for tens of miles, and is by far the largest mine in the area.

However, as time went on, fewer and fewer mines were mined there, and new deposits were discovered in other directions, so the copper mine was abandoned more than ten years ago.

Over the past decade, there have been some collapses in the pit, and every time it rains, water will pour in, and the damage to the underground copper shaft will be more serious. Now, the entire mine has completely lost its use value, and few people have gone there anymore. As for the drawings of the mine at the beginning, because the family that first developed it all died of infectious diseases, and they did not stay.

Ding Qin calculated in his heart that in this way, this is indeed a good place for Tibetans. Moreover, if it was Lomon who was also hiding here, with his skills, the people here would not have noticed it at all.

Ding Qin was not in a hurry to prospect. In such a strange place, he must ensure that he is in a safe environment. Once, he had encountered a situation where even Xiao Er in the inn was the enemy's eyeliner.

After eating something in the hall, Ding Qin booked a room. After resting in the room until midnight, Ding Qin got up and jumped out of the window while it was dark outside.

Lilac Town is lit on all sides, except for the north direction. It was the lights that were lit while the mines were still working. And only in the north, it is pitch black, giving people an eerie feeling.

Ten miles of road, for Ding Qin, is just a very short period of time.

However, as soon as he entered the scope of the copper mine, Ding Qin's speed slowed down.

The terrain here is complex, and there are no less than ten mine entrances alone.

Standing in the open space, looking at the hole dug up against the hillside, Ding Qin really didn't know which one to go from.

After hesitating for a long time, he picked up a branch from the ground and threw it into the air as if at random.

When the branch hit the ground, he walked directly into the cave pointed to by the root of the branch.

The bone soul kept laughing in his sea of knowledge, "Ding Qin, Ding Qin, I didn't expect that you would also use this method." ”

Ding Qin replied to him angrily, "You have a way, do you want to?More than a dozen holes, which one do you let me drill?"

The bone soul still looked overjoyed, "Okay, let's see how your luck is." ”

After walking more than 50 meters, the width of the mine gradually narrowed, and some of the supporting wooden poles began to decay and break. After turning two corners, the mine began to fork.

Ding Qin chose one of them based on his feelings. As a result, after a few more forks in the road, and a few more waterholes, the passage in front of me became wider and wider, and then there was gradually a light.

Ding Qin was slightly happy. After a few steps, he was a little disappointed.

That's right, it's light, and there's quite a bit of light. However, it was not in the mine, but in Lilac Town.

In this, it actually came out!

The bone soul smiled even more happily now, "Hey, it seems that you are lucky not to go to the end of your life, hahaha." ”

Ding Qin was a little annoyed in his heart. How could it be so coincidental?

He chose another hole and walked in again.

It was still a fork, a turn, a lot of effort to go around various pools or cliffs, and he actually came out again!

This time, the bone soul did not laugh or speak.

Ding Qin's heart became more and more angry. He marked the two openings and chose the one on the most marginal part.

And so, after a while, it's still the same!

"I don't believe in evil yet!" Ding Qin said, choosing a hole to walk through. This time, he was in it, choosing a different fork in the road.

It can't be so coincidental, is it, did I meet the unlucky fork in the road?

He meditated in his heart and made some marks on the other. But then, he suddenly felt a little cold.

Because he felt that he had seen the light again.

Sure enough, coming out of the hole, the lights of Lilac Town appeared in front of me again.

"Not quite right. Bone Soul muttered, "For a mine, it shouldn't be so complicated. People have a mine mouth every day, and it must develop in different directions, and the bifurcation should also avoid intersecting with other existing channels. How can you come out after walking a few in a row?"

Of course, Ding Qin thought the same thing. Standing in front of these mines, he didn't move for a moment. After a while, he said, "Possibly, the mine has been altered." Those collapses, water accumulation, may just be an illusion, to prevent people from entering. ”

The Bone Soul agreed with Ding Qin's inference. It's just that, even with such a conclusion, they still can't find a way to get in.

Ding Qin walked around in front of these caves, and slowly, the fish belly white appeared in the east.

Finally, he looked up, "Possibly, I have a way." ”

With that, he took out the silver moon and poured spiritual power.

Under the urging of the water blade, a layer of white frost quickly condensed around Yinyue's body.

"What are you doing? You want to dig a hole yourself? This mine is too old to collapse. Although the bone soul said this, there was still a bit of joking in his tone.

Ding Qin didn't say anything.

He controls psychic power to limit the power of the Water Blade. At the same time, he carried the Water Trick in his left hand, causing the frost around the Silver Moon to become thicker and thicker.

Finally, he swung hard.

A thin blade of water sliced straight through the holes. Thanks to Ding Qin's control, this water-breaking blade brought the cold of Silver Moon to the extreme, leaving a thick layer of ice on the cut surface.

"That's enough. After speaking, Ding Qin walked directly into one of the holes.

Every time he reaches a fork, Ding Qin will try to use the water trick. If this fork of the road was connected to the outside, Ding Qin would keenly feel the chill coming from outside the hole.

Although the further this method went, the longer the wait was, the ice that Ding Qin left outside was thick enough.

This method is wonderful even for the bone soul.

Finally, at one of the forks, there was a hole without any chill.

"That's it. Ding Qin did not hesitate at all and stepped in directly.

After walking out forty or fifty meters, Ding Qin found that this passage had been specially reinforced. Some of the supporting timbers here are new and painted with antiseptic paint. The drainage channels on the ground have also been trimmed so that there is no flooding of the mine.

I walked in for no less than ten miles, and a fork in the road began to appear again. And this time, the fork in the road seems to be more complicated.

However, Ding Qin had a vague feeling that the fork in the road here was very likely to lead to a hall. Just as it prevents outsiders from entering, the fork in the road here prevents others from entering.

Before entering the fork in the road, he took out a ball of thread from the Lingna stone belt and pulled it along the path he was taking. In this way, no matter what, as long as the line is there, you can go back the way you came.

After walking a long way in the constant forks and waterholes, Ding Qin saw a hall.

To be exact, it should be called a big hole. The diameter of this place can be about 100 meters, and there is a large puddle in the middle, and there is a circle of flat land about 20 meters on the side.

The flat ground is paved with a layer of sand and gravel, which is obviously post-processed by hand. On the other side of the big hole, there are several smaller holes.

What made Ding Qin a little excited was that there seemed to be some clothes scattered outside the small hole.

Someone?

He was slightly happy in his heart, and quickly leaned over there.

Approaching the small cave, Ding Qin found that the clothes were all women's. And next to the small hole, there are several fishing rods and a large number of fish bones, some of which are still fresh.

Sure enough, there are people!

However, Ding Qin's vigilance was also completely raised at this time.

No one knows if it will be a trap here!

Standing more than ten meters away from the small hole, Ding Qin asked directly, "Is there anyone?"

There was a cracking sound from the cave. A short time later, a woman with messy hair poked her head out of the hole.

Her hair covered half of her face, but the exposed side was visibly haggard.

She is now very thin, her complexion is not good-looking, and she feels malnourished.

Because of these, Ding Qin couldn't judge what she looked like. However, from her eyes, Ding Qin can see a kind of kindness and an expectation.

Her body was shaking, I don't know if it was because of fear or excitement.

When she saw Ding Qin, she seemed to be startled, and then instinctively shrank back, "You, who are you?

Ding Qin tried his best to make his voice sound softer, "Excuse me, are you Mrs. He from Xinyi Hall?"

Her body shuddered, her lips trembled, but she couldn't speak.

She raised a hand and pointed at Ding Qin, "You, you, who are you?"

From her performance, Ding Qin can basically determine her identity. "If you are really Mrs. He, please come with me. I'm here to save you. ”

"Who are you? Why are you here to save me? I won't go with you if you don't make it clear!" a kind of caution began to flash in her eyes, "I won't be fooled again!"
