Volume 1: The Conquest of the Four Directions Chapter 44: Out of the City
Ye Wuyi heard about the ore vein, and immediately came to his senses, although he had received a lot of news about the ore vein in the past few months, but after checking it, he found that those mines either could not be mined, or they were linked with other people's mines, and he could be said to have returned in vain in the past few months.
"What? You have a clue about the ore vein?" He stepped forward and grabbed Sanxi's hand, a glimmer of gold flashing in his eyes.
"Ahh It's not a vein, is it? Here's the thing, young master, a few of us found a very strange stone in a cave on the outskirts of the Nanzhou Plain. Sanxi said.
After speaking, I saw him open the cloth bag hanging on his waist, take out a white cloth from inside, and respectfully hand it over.
"We brought it over to the people here for identification, but the people here couldn't tell what the stone was after looking at it for a long time. He added.
Ye Wu opened the white cloth and saw a palm-sized black diamond-shaped stone lying inside, and he took the black stone in his hand without even thinking about it.
"Young master, be careful, this stone he..."Sanxi wanted to remind Ye Wu.
"What's wrong?" Ye Wu looked at Sanxi.
"It's... Young Master..."Sanxi looked at Ye Wu in a daze, speechless for a while.
Seeing this, a man beside him stepped forward, hugged his fists and said, "Uh... That's the case, when we first saw this thing, we also wanted to get it, but I don't know what's going on, this stone suddenly shone brightly in our hands, emitting bursts of white light, which made us numb, even the appraiser just now, but the young master was fine..."
"Oh, there is such a thing..."Ye Wu looked at the thing in his hand, a little interested.
To be honest, he doesn't know what this thing is, the shape of this thing is like the shape of two regular triangular pyramid bottoms combined together, the color is very similar to the crystal in his previous life, but when he touches the material of this ore, it is not a crystal.
Ye Wu looked at the thing in his hand with interest, and when he touched it with both hands and pinched the head and tail of the ore, he only heard a burst of electric arc generated, and his fingers were extremely sore.
"You're in luck. Wuye said.
"What? Is it possible that such a small piece can still electrocute people?" Ye Wu looked at the egg-sized black stone in his hand, he could hardly imagine that this ordinary-looking stone could have so much power.
"The thunder stone is not judged by the volume, but according to the year, the concentration of the thunder aura in the environment, and the absorption efficiency of the thunder aura in it, fortunately, this is a year's thunder stone, and the electric spirit is not large, which is within the tolerance range of mortals. Wuye explained.
"Oh. Ye Wu suddenly, this time he has grown knowledge again, he looked at this black stone, and his heart blossomed.
I didn't expect there to be such a magical thing in the world, it would discharge...... If it is used properly, it will save me the need to make batteries. He thought.
Indeed, in the past few days, Ye Wuwei has been making batteries, which can be described as a numb scalp, and he has searched the entire Nanzhou region but finally failed to find the materials needed for the battery, so he had to retreat to find alternative materials, and found it, but the battery capacity and utilization rate are too low, and even the most basic incandescent lamp can't be moved, so it's good now.
"Where did you find it?" he asked.
"A cave three hundred meters west of the Nanzhou Forest. Sanxi said, "There are a lot of these things in it, even bigger than this." β
"Yes, I bought this news, you will go to it with me to register it later, as for the place you reported, I will send the money to you after I verify it, you don't have to worry. Ye Wu took this thing into his arms and said with satisfaction.
"Thank you, young master, thank you, young master!" Everyone was overjoyed when they saw this, and hurriedly thanked them repeatedly, followed Ye Wu into the courtyard, and left after receiving the money.
"Wait," Ye Wu stopped Sanxi, "I see you're not bad, are you interested in following me?" Ye Wu asked Sanxi.
Sanxi looked at the few people who accompanied him and hesitated.
"Let me think about it later. He declined.
Ye Wu did not force it.
After these people left, Mo ruthlessly put down the pen in his hand, stretched his waist, and asked, "Young master, is this thing really worth those gold bars?"
"It's worth it. Ye Wu looked at the black stone in his hand, "Have you got what I want?"
"It's been done a long time ago. A hearty smile suddenly sounded outside the door, and a man walked in, this person was none other than Mo Wuyi, only to see that he threw the thing in his hand forward suddenly.
Ye Wuyi grabbed it in his hand and opened it, and what was inside was a shiny pistol.
The size is about two palms, and the surface is polished smooth.
Ye Wu nodded, he couldn't put down this gun, to be honest, this was the only one he was satisfied with since the blacksmith shop had made a finished product in the past few months.
"Where's the ammunition?" he asked.
"Here I am. Mo Wuru took out two wooden boxes from the drawer and handed them to Ye Wu.
After Ye Wu took the wooden box and read it one by one, his heart twitched violently, this ammunition was really pitiful, only more than thirty rounds.
When he thought that he had used nearly three times as many materials to make this little thing, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, but after thinking about it, he was relieved, after all, this is something forged by hand, it is definitely not as good as mechanical manufacturing, and he should be content to have so many finished products.
He sighed lightly, if he was given a few more months, a large processing factory would be built in a few months to replace these handmades, and he would have as many finished products as he wanted, and he would grab a handful.
Ye Wu put the gun back in the holster and hung it on his waist, looked at the sky, although it was only two or three o'clock at this time, but the sun had a tendency to go down, he took the wooden box, loaded three bullets, and fired three shots at the unmanned target, and the gun hit the bull's-eye.
"The crosshairs are ok. Ye Wu nodded, and after loading the remaining bullets, he beckoned to everyone, "It's almost, let's go, let's go to the power plant." β
"Young Master... This..."Mo Wuru listened to this and looked at Ye Wu with some doubts.
"It's nothing, I plan to leave Nanzhou City and go to live in the power plant for a while, the people from the school have already moved over, and next week, I will send Shi Youshan to transport them and their families to the power plant one by one." β
Mo was ruthless and suddenly, no wonder he always felt that the yard was a lot cleaner, it turned out to be like this.
"There are so many people, is there enough space?" he said, a little worried.
When Ye Wu heard this, it was as if he had heard a big joke, he lined his chest and said loudly: "Don't worry, it's far bigger than you think." β
Mo Wuyi originally wanted to refuse, after all, this house was repaired by his brothers who worked hard to save money, so he could give it up, but he thought about it, but he dispelled this idea again.
"Brother, how about we go stay for a few days?" he stepped forward to advise.
Mo Wuru was not worried about the house, he looked at the workers who were working hard to make iron outside the house, and as soon as he left, what would those people do in the future, they all relied on ironwork to support their families.
"The workersβ" he hesitated.
Ye Wu saw the concerns in his heart.
"Don't worry, there will still be people employed here for the time being, when the time comes, you can pick a few people who have good jobs and are self-motivated, and you can move into the power plant after bringing them to Ye Ling for registration." He patted the other man on the shoulder and said.
After hearing this, Mo Wuru nodded and took his younger brother into the house to pack up his things.
"Young Master. A man's voice suddenly came from behind him, it was Qiu Kui.
"Are you here?, have they all been sent to the power plant?" Ye Wu turned around and asked.
"Hmm. Qiu Kui replied and then stopped talking.
"By the way, how is your manpower training?" Ye Wu asked.
"It's time to go into battle. Qiu Kui replied, it is true, Ye Wuqi's people are all black-clothed people who assassinated him before, their body foundation is good, and they are naturally quick to train, otherwise no matter how high his Qiu Kui martial arts are, it is impossible to train soldiers while taking time to monitor the patriarchs of the ten major families.
"After we leave, Nanzhou City will be handed over to you, as soon as there is any trouble, report immediately, you can start first when necessary, you must know that our time is running out. Ye Wu said.
Indeed, his current enemy is not the top ten families in Nanzhou City, but the immortal cultivation force that is entrenched in the country and whose number and strength are unknown.
"Yes," Qiu Kui nodded in response.
Ye Wu walked out of the courtyard.
"Are you all there?" he asked.
"It's all here. Shi Youshan stepped forward, clasped his hands into fists and replied respectfully, behind him, more than a dozen people were standing neatly.
It was a strange thing to say that this group of people was dressed strangely, not wearing long and heavy armor like the Imperial army, but all wearing short hair, white clothes and white felt hats, which blended in with the icy and snowy scenery.
At this time, they carried semi-automatic old-fashioned rifles on their backs, machetes at their waists, and stood motionless in the snow with straight colors.
Looking at the orderly team in front of him, he sighed in his heart, and couldn't help but recall the soldiers he led.
"Let's go!" Ye Wu said in a suppressed voice, and after that, he got on the horse and walked at the front of the team side by side with Shi Youshan.
The order had been given, and the group of people did not hesitate at all, and followed Ye Wu on foot.
The Nanzhou Plain, straddling the two countries, is located at the junction of the border between the empire and the Yan Kingdom, and the terrain here is flat like a giant sword slashing through the sky, with an endless sea of trees.
However, it is said that hundreds of years ago, this place was not what it is now, but a mountain towering into the sky, but suddenly one day, two immortals descended from the sky without warning.
Both of them wear different styles of clothing, and both of them look like they are at home.
The two of them just looked at each other and started a death match, sword light, sword shadow, immortal magic and other means are endless, but the style presented is different from the fancy spells that have been passed down from generation to generation in the world, the above spells are very concise, fast, and lethal, just one of them will be smashed down or a fire bomb will be smashed down this half of the mountain is gone.
The battle of cultivators is often fast-changing, and this battle also lasted less than half a moment before it ended, and from beginning to end, only two words were heard that resounded in the sky, a sentence of "Stay!" and a sentence of "Go!"
As for the specific battle process, no one knows, after all, it is a duel of immortals, once a mortal is accidentally affected by it, he will regret it, and it is too late to cry.
However, it is rumored that a woodcutter saw a man in black flying north from the side of the mountain, this man was scarred, his hair was messy, and only one arm of his limbs was intact, and the others were in a different place.
This person dragged a huge toothless tooth with one hand and walked through the air, and along the way he shed blood from all over the ground, the blood droplets were not large, and it fell on the ground with a loud sound.
A few drops of it fell on the man's face, destroying his face so that he couldn't even look at it, as if sulfuric acid had been poured on his face, which was terrifying.
After the end of the fight, the mountain and the immortal were long gone, leaving only this mess here, and then after the vicissitudes of life, the long years, this became what people see now.
And the purpose of Ye Wu's entourage is this forest.
