Chapter 9: Undercurrents

At this time, it is almost the spring equinox, the spring mud on the bank of the Lishui River is damp, the tender green branches have sprouted, the scenery on both sides of the verdant green is pleasant, the mist is thick, and the distant mountains are looming, which is more beautiful and tranquil.

However, Willow was obviously not in the mood to enjoy such a view, she held her hands on her knees, sat on a hill on the bank of the Lishui River, looked at Baiyun City in the distance, pursed her lips, and looked very sad and angry.

She looked very thin, eight or nine years old, and her fair and round face was childish, like a porcelain doll, and she was endearing.

It's just that she looks sad now, her little face is constantly sobbing, the pear blossoms are raining, and her big bright eyes have begun to become red and swollen.

Stretched out her hand and wiped her cheeks, only then did she find that the cuffs were already black, she opened her eyes wide, and found that not only the cuffs, but also the white dress had already been stained with mud and became messy.

"Woo...... Woohoo......"

The crisp crying sound was intermittent, and it spread far away, making the originally peaceful mountains and forests instantly become messy.

......

......

At the foot of Yunwu Mountain, the group suddenly stopped.

The man at the head was dressed in coarse linen clothes, supported a wooden stick, and carried a backpack, dressed as a person who went into the mountains to collect medicine.

"What's wrong?" someone asked later.

The man was silent, coldly examined the lower mountain forest, and finally shook his head.

"I could hear a woman's cry. ”

"Cry?" The group behind them instantly became vigilant.

"Don't be nervous, maybe I heard it wrong. ”

"Don't be careless, this cloudy mountain is high and dense, and there are no mountain spirits and ghosts. We have important things to do, and we do everything carefully. ”

"Hmm. The man nodded.

"How far is it from that place?" someone asked.

"Less than forty miles, if there is no accident, you can reach it in half an hour. ”

"Okay, speed up your journey. ”

"Whoosh!"

The group walked like a fly, quickly passing through the steep mountain forest.

Half an hour later, under a steep mountain.

"This is it?"

"This is it. ”

The people in the back looked at the rushing river below the mountain peak, and couldn't help frowning.."What the hell are we going to do up there?" ”

"Good. The man in charge knocked on the ground with a wooden stick and drew a circle.......

He pointed to the circle, and a dozen people behind him all gathered around.

And then......

"Boom!"

The sticks exploded and sawdust flew up!

"Ahh

Some people covered their eyes and screamed, some people had their skulls pierced, and the blood stained a square square circle, but the still vigilant people dodged the sneak attack with their hands leaning on the meat pads.

"Zangfeng, what do you want to do?" someone shouted.

The man who led the way before was silent, his eyes were like lightning, and he rushed up in a hurry, and when he approached, a short sword suddenly appeared in his hand.

With a "buzz", the sound of the air being cut, the sword light ended into his body, he stretched out a hand and pushed the person away, blood splattered, and the latter's body staggered a few steps and fell into the turbulent water.

"Ahh

Someone shouted, and the remaining six or seven people pulled out the long knife hidden in the back basket, and the Dao power worked, and it was transmitted to the knife, and the dazzling sword was full of tigers, slashing towards the man out of thin air.

"Boom!"

The sword light was extinguished, and it was silent.

But then, more dense sword light surged out like a tidal wave.

"Poof!poof!"

The fragile skin was easily pierced, the man's wrist flicked, blood spurted out along the sword body, the sword light flashed, and another terrifying arc was drawn in mid-air, sending out a fierce fight.

"Ahh

The sound of fighting began to permeate the entire mountain forest.

......

......

As if sensing something, the willow stopped crying, and looked at a mountain peak in the distance with slightly swollen eyes, looking dumbfounded.

The clouds and mist obscured the view.

She frowned and looked at it carefully, but finally couldn't help but be curious, drove the Dao Fa, flew over like a cloud, and finally, landed in a dense mountain forest.

In the mountains and forests, she is like a fish in water, the breath of the grass and trees, the echo of the mountains and rocks, and the keen spiritual sense ripples like ripples, and finally condenses into a clear picture in her mind.

"Huh?"

She let out a soft "huh", and her pale blue eyes looked at the mountain peaks miles away.

There, a grim human seemed to be doing something odd, and she saw the human kill her companion and poke her weapon a few times at each of its dead kind, and then the human threw her fellow off the hill and into the rushing water.

After all this, the man looked up at the peak, and with a volley, he rushed halfway up the mountain.

"Human beings are really as complicated and terrifying as my mother said!"

She wrinkled her nose and snorted heavily, and the crisp children's voice came out, and the flowers and trees of the entire mountain forest swayed slightly, as if in response.

......

......

Machon Town, Mine.

Steward Zhang took a sip of tea slowly, then glanced at the middle-aged man who was looking down, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Shopkeeper Wu, it's not that someone in my chapter doesn't want to help you, but there's really nothing I can do!" he sighed and pointed to the endless carriage outside.."Look at these people outside, there are people from Qingshui City and Gaoyang City, they have been waiting here for several days, at most even half a month, my miners here are only these, even if they rush to work day and night, they are in short supply!"

"Steward Zhang! It's not that I'm a strong man, but I've already burned my eyebrows, you know, Nanbian has been fighting again recently, and I've been urging five or six times in half a month, and the stove in my shop is already burning red, just waiting for this batch of Mithril to start working." Seeing that Steward Zhang was unmoved, Shopkeeper Wu's heart moved, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

"Besides, who doesn't know that you are a man of his word in the mine, as long as you say a word, the allocation of this bit of goods is just a drizzle, as long as you are willing to help, I Wu will be grateful." The man laughed, gritted his teeth and handed over something.

"Huh?"

Steward Zhang raised his eyebrows, glanced at it obliquely, and his eyes lit up. Pretended to take it and pinched it casually, good guy, full of purple gold!

"Shopkeeper Wu, what do you mean by that?" he left his things still on the table.

"Talk about your heart! Just talk about your heart!" Wu's shopkeeper's posture was very low.

"You take the things back, I won't accept them, as for the goods......" He glanced at the shopkeeper Wu and paused...

"Hey, thank you for taking care of Zhang, then I'm going to prepare?"

Shopkeeper Wu secretly glanced at a small piece of purple gold on the table, but found that Steward Zhang did not return it at all, and secretly scolded a few words, he endured the pain in his flesh, turned around and walked out.

"What you send out, how can you return it. ”

Watching someone leave, Steward Zhang sneered and put down the teacup.

He stretched out a hand and touched the small piece of purple gold, "What a good thing......"

Shaking his head, his expression became more and more relaxed.

Just, the next moment

"-Boom!"

The whole earth shook violently, the tables and chairs shook, and the porcelain was scattered all over the ground.

Steward Zhang's face changed, and he hurriedly ran the Dao method to stabilize his shaking body.

It's just that the ground shook more and more, and even the walls showed the slightest crack.

With a "pop", the beams suddenly broke, and the entire roof sank.

His face changed greatly, and in a hurry, he used his strength, slapped out his palm, broke through the roof and ran out.

The tremors continued for several breaths, and he stood on a high ground, and when he looked up, the mine was in shambles, with black smoke oozing from cracks in the ground.

"Not good, Mine!"

He hurriedly took the purple gold into his arms and swept in the direction of the mine.

......

......

"Everyone is coming?"

"Here, the message sent yesterday, presumably at this time, has arrived at the dock. ”

"That's good. ”

"Just ......"

"What?"

"Isn't it too rushed?"

"No hurry, just right. ”

There was silence in the room for a moment.

......

......

"Ready?"

"Almost. ”

"What's going on over there?"

"Uh...... It was quiet. ”

"What I told you to check!"

"I checked, but in a short time, I couldn't find anything. ”

"Forget it, it's too late. By the way, does that guy have any news?"

"Yes, he said, as you wish. ”

"Hmph, don't dare to show the ghost. ”

"Lord, we do this in the same way as ...... Seek skin with the tiger!"

"Do I have a choice? From the moment I stepped on that boat, there was no turning back for me to choose. ”
