Chapter 348: Zhujiazhuang
Mo Wuxian left the imperial capital on the fourth day and flew towards the southern part of the Martial Arts Empire.
The mysterious disappearance of Gongsun Yingying, some people linked the two of them together, and various rumors emerged one after another.
And our Young Master Mo didn't know about her disappearance, and was flying towards Zhujiazhuang in a hurry.
Zhu Ying's family is in Zhujiazhuang in the south. Zhujiazhuang is not a martial arts family, but a commercial empire, they operate the entire martial arts continent of the trade routes, including silk, spices, ores, weapons, etc., in the martial arts empire, is an important source of the treasury.
Mo Wuxian stopped in the air and looked down, revealing a complicated expression.
Below is Zhujiazhuang.
The architecture of Zhujiazhuang is very comparable to that of the Ruan family.
The area of hundreds of thousands of square meters is surrounded by the city tower of up to 30 meters on all sides, and the buildings inside are dense, there are countless pavilions in the air, and the palace locks the incense bridge. Pedestrians are in a hurry, the boudoir red cloth dyes the curtains, and the beauties lean on the windowsill to see the beautiful autumn moon......
The guards of the city tower are ten meters away, and the soldiers of the patrol posts in the city are cruising back and forth, smiling, and the civilians love to greet them.
This country is prosperous, comparable to the imperial capital, but it has a strong commercial atmosphere.
Mo Wuxie's divine thoughts covered Zhujiazhuang and searched it countless times, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared, revealing a heavy look.
The eldest brother and sister-in-law are gone, where have they gone? He frowned, and found that things were getting more and more unusual.
He looked at a massive building in the center, like the Golden Luan Palace.
Zhu Ying is the beloved daughter of the head of the Zhu family, and in this magnificent building, it should be the head of the Zhu family.
He floated down and landed in front of the building.
In the magnificent hall, an old man sat quietly on the main seat, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was closing his eyes to recuperate, and there were some traces of Zhu Ying between the outlines.
Mo Wuxian walked in and made a sound of footsteps, and the old man immediately opened his eyes, revealing a puzzled look.
"Mo Wuxian of the Mo family has seen his predecessors!" Mo Wuxian stood in the main hall and clenched his fists slightly.
The old man stood up and asked in surprise, "Are you Mo Xie's son?"
Mo Wuxian nodded and said, "Exactly!"
The old man hurriedly walked down the steps to Mo Wuxian, looked up and down, and asked, "Did you come to find your eldest brother?"
Mo Wuxian nodded and said, "The eldest brother hasn't returned for a few days, my father asked me to ask, I don't know if the eldest brother is still in the house?"
The old man could no longer maintain his usual expression, showing a trace of anxiety, and said, "Please take a seat!"
Mo Wuxian sat on the edge of the coffee table, and the old man sat down next to him, worried: "Recently, there have been some bizarre incidents in a mine we operate, and many people have disappeared. It just so happened that your eldest brother came to find Zhu Ying, I thought that Mo Yanxiu would let him investigate in order to get it, but I didn't expect that it would be half a month since he left!"
Mo Wuxian was suddenly surprised and asked, "What happened?"
The old man shook his head and said, "I don't know, I heard from the overseer that there are some mysterious black shadows in the mine, which later became a ghost area. This mine is an important economic lifeline of our Li family, so the mine cannot be broken, so your eldest brother and your sister-in-law went to check on it together, and disappeared at the same time! I am worried that they are in danger, if they fail to come back today, I plan to ask your Mo family for help, but I didn't expect you to come!"
Mo Wuxian looked thoughtful, feeling that this mine was very suspicious. With Mo Yan's cultivation not coming back, there must have been a major factor, which is enough to be highly valued.
Recently, the Heaven and Earth Alliance mysteriously disappeared, and he was worried that there would be traces of the Heaven and Earth Alliance in the mine, and at that time, the consequences would be unimaginable.
He immediately left Lijiazhuang, and the life of the eldest brother was more important than everything.
Fifty miles away from the mine. The mine is more than two kilometers high, covered with black stones, and an artificial tunnel goes straight into the depths. A large amount of ore is piled up at the ore mouth.
At this time, all the perimeters of the mine were cordoned off for a mile, and a large number of soldiers were stationed, and there were many, many absentees visiting the periphery, some looking for relatives, some carrying tools on their backs, apparently to see when the work would begin.
Most of them didn't know what was going on, and some of their absent relatives disappeared inside, naturally with a look of distress, and it was clear that they should know something about it.
Mo Wuxian stretched out his hand and put it on a person's shoulder, this person was startled, and when he turned around, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Mo Wuxie, and asked: "Little brother, don't suddenly pat me on the shoulder like this, I thought the ghost inside came out, scared to death!"
Mo Wuxian smiled and said, "Big brother, did you work in the mine before?"
The absentee nodded and said, "Yes, my wife has disappeared in it, it's been a month, I don't know if she's alive or dead now!
Mo Wuxian asked, "Have you seen the black shadow?"
Kuanggong shook his head like a drum, and said: "I haven't seen it, but one of the survivors has seen it, and when he came out, he also went crazy, claiming that there were black shadows and ghosts inside, and I was so scared that I didn't dare to go in to find my wife! ”
Mo Wuxian asked, "What about the people who went in to investigate the situation?"
The absenteeism was even more afraid, and said: "I come to see it every day, and there have been twelve waves of warriors and soldiers, but no one has ever come out!"
Mo Wuxian asked, "How long has this phenomenon happened?"
Absenteeism did not hesitate to say: "It's been a whole month!"
Mo Wuxian sighed, walked out of the crowd, and walked towards the entrance of the cave.
One of the soldiers immediately shouted: "This place has been blocked, and all idle people are not allowed to enter, please go back!"
However, Mo Wuxian ignored him at all, took another step, and had already reached the mouth of the tunnel. He glanced back and found that everyone was in a daze, and suddenly someone exclaimed: "Like, like it, it's amazing, he's the dark shadow, he is!"
Mo Wuxian showed a trace of sadness, this simple temptation had already explained something. These civilians have treated the peerless powerhouse as a ghost.
He was even more worried that it should be the evil forces that could do such a mysterious thing. I hope it's not a member of the Heaven and Earth Alliance.
Suddenly, he stood at the entrance of the cave, showing a thoughtful look, if it was really a member of the Heaven and Earth Alliance, then what did they want this mine to do?
Looking around, I saw a few rocks on the ground, and several minecarts were staying in them, some of them were full of ore, and they were about to walk out of the tunnel in a row.
This phenomenon is very indicative of the fact that these people disappeared suddenly, that is, they disappeared without resisting.
Entering the tunnel, after walking for 100 meters, the tunnel has reached the end and goes straight down.
A set of pulleys hung an iron basket at the end, falling to a depth of 100 meters.
He looked at the installation and not only sighed at the wisdom of the working people. Whether it's a person going down, or coming up, or a mineral or something, it's all achieved through the hanging basket below, and with this pulley, it won't take too much effort.
He floated down and landed at the bottom of the cave, where the tunnels stretched out from the front and back, to the left and right, and after reaching a certain distance, they spread out like cobwebs, forming a dense underground passage.
His divine thoughts covered him, and he immediately imprinted everything here in his mind, and gradually, he showed a puzzled look.
These caves are all passages left by mining ore, which are far away and even extend thousands of meters away, and some extend to the ground, at least tens of thousands of meters, like a bottomless pit, which is intimidating.
