Chapter 104: Man-eating Cave
The days in the Shui family are peaceful, thanks to the identity of Shui Congyue, and then it is also comfortable in Huanjiang City.
Spring is a dripping silk rain, rushing to Huanjiang City. Wu Jian took Chu Ji and held two oil-paper umbrellas, wandering by the stone bridge carved with a lion cub, and strolling on the rain-soaked bluestone road.
With the swaying of oars and oars, there was a babbling and crispy Nanqu floating on the side of the canopy boat. Wu Yan stretched out his hand and stuffed a piece of maltose into his mouth, and glanced at Chu Ji, who was leaning against the window and quietly looking at the scenery on the shore, and a faint sadness spread.
In a few days, Wu Gen will leave Huanjiang City, accompanied by Wu Lao and Shui Congyue. Shui Congyue is iron heart wants to go out and be chic for a while, and even the ring ruler of Shui Xun Sword can't stop him.
Parting is approaching, and in the past few days, Wu Gen has to take Chu Ji to play around the city every day. But Chu Ji always looked sad, and his immature face was more resentful and less naïve.
After all, he was still a little younger, and he came from Xingluo Plain, left the protection of his grandfather, and went around all the way, and Wu Yan became the pillar in his heart. Now that this pillar is also leaving, it is inevitable that I will be depressed.
A few days ago, Wu Gen secretly handed over the Yin and Yang Combination Method to Chu Ji. If Chu Ji is backed by the resources of the Shui family, he can figure it out, and he can also add a boost to the disciples.
Unlike Zhao Guo, Zhu Juanguo's real qi practice is mostly inherited by the family, and the powerful characters are hidden in the major families. As for those large and small sects, to be honest, they are just some cultivators who can't enter the family system, and they are helpless.
The Shui family is a master of Qi practice, Chu Ji stayed here, with his amazing qualifications, coupled with the guarantee of water from the moon, the future can be described as bright.
Wu Gen himself is still a teenager, all the way up, there is no fixed place, Chu Ji can only suffer in vain with him, and having a place to live is the right way for him. As for the resentment in the little girl's heart, she can only understand Wu Gan's hard work when she is older.
The hull of the ship shook a little, but it was already on the shore. Wu Gen pulled Chu Ji onto the gangplank and walked in the direction of the Shui family.
Along the way, both of them were silent. Wu Yan thought about telling some jokes to relieve the sullen atmosphere. opened his mouth, but he really didn't have this state of mind, so he had to hold Chu Ji's little hand tightly.
A big umbrella and a small umbrella, one high and one low, gradually blended into the drizzle.
When he came to the door, Chu Ji suddenly looked up, "Brother, you want to come back to see me."
Wu Gan's face was gentle, "Definitely."
"Retractor."
"Hook."
"Hang yourself on a hook, and you won't change for a thousand years. Ha ha...... Giggle......"
Wu Yan was packing his luggage in the room, and his steps were very heavy.
Since he planned to continue to rob, no, continue to travel to Zhu Juan Country, Wu Lao disliked his people's cultivation as inferior, and if he ran away, it would be a burden, so he gave him a method of divine practice.
At the beginning, Wu Gen should move quickly on the surface of the water without sinking, and when there is a slight improvement, he will add heavy objects to his body, and finally he must walk on the water as if he is on the ground, and the dripping water will not stick to the body before it can be small. If you are more successful, you must step on the empty and move freely in the air.
In order to run smoothly, Wu Gen has been tormented by Wu Lonely these days. On the lake next to Shui's house, I often watched a thin old man, carrying a feather duster, constantly whipping the teenager who was fluttering in the water in front of him.
At the end of the day, Wu Gan's head was full of bags, and there were blood marks all over his body.
It hurts, and the feather duster is the nightmare of countless people when they are young. Because Wu Gen is an orphan, he has never enjoyed such thunder and rain since he was a child, but this time he has fully made up for this lesson.
got up and walked out of the house, Chu Ji was already waiting at the door, followed by two maids.
The three of them and three horses slowly walked out of the gate of the Shui family, and only Chu Ji and the housekeeper and servants at home sent each other. Shui Xun Sword will not care about his own rebels, as long as he does not die outside.
Wu Gan rubbed the iron arrow in his hand, looked at the slightly simple pattern on it, and was overjoyed.
These seven iron arrows were built with the help of the Shui family, and the iron arrows with the blood spirit rune painted last time had all been lost during the battle with Gao Cheng
son, I won't be patient to help him pick it up.
The Shui family is strong, and it is naturally easy to create such an iron arrow. After such a long time, Wu Gen also had some insights into the Blood Spirit Rune. After all, this talisman was made in a hurry by a real person, and the considerations were not too comprehensive, too complicated, and difficult to push away in large quantities.
With the help of Chu Ji, Wu Jian experimented many times, and finally simplified this talisman a little. When choosing materials, the water housekeeper provided a variety of choices, all of which were rare materials in the world, and Wu Gan chose the cheapest meteorite.
If the blood spirit rune wants to be used on a large scale in martial arts, the cost must be controlled, otherwise this hard-earned blood spirit rune can only be used for a few people, what is the use.
After adjusting the Blood Spirit Talisman several times, he finally succeeded in drawing it on the meteoric iron. Not only does the power not decrease, but the cost is greatly reduced. If there is really any war, it can also be equipped in large quantities for mortals.
This move provoked Wu Lone, who teased Wu Qian all day long for picking up rags. When people practice, which is not something rare, regardless of the cost, regardless of the gain or loss, I am afraid that there is less power. When I arrived at Wu Gan, I turned around and picked up bargains.
In the end, Shui Congyue couldn't stand it anymore, so he asked the housekeeper to use the most valuable Yu Jin to create seven long arrows and throw them to Wu Gan casually, love it or not, the Shui family can't afford to lose this person.
More than ten days later, on an unnamed hill in Zhujuan Country, Wu Yan and the three of them looked at a green mountain in the distance, their clothes blown up by the wind, and there was a little more smell of slaughter.
The three of them all wore a mask, originally Wu Gen and Wu Lao wore black and white, but after the water came from the moon, they couldn't help but snatch the white mask, and Wu Gen had to choose a red face.
This is where a refined iron mine in Feiyunmen is located, Feiyunmen is the third sect that the three people want to rob, and the other two are in the south of Zhujuan Country. This time he suddenly entered the northern frontier in order to catch the other party by surprise.
As a large sect in the Zhujuan Kingdom, Feiyunmen has more than 500 people, and its sphere of influence covers more than half of the counties. If it weren't for the secret interference of the royal family of Zhu Juan Kingdom, it would not have been possible to swallow the dominance of other sects in the county earlier.
This sect sits on two refined iron mines, and originally had the advantage of this location, so it would not be a problem to feed these five hundred people. However, over the years, Feiyunmen has been bent on occupying a county, and has continued to absorb the people, which has made the use of the door a little nervous.
Those who mine and dig holes are mortals, and cultivators who will do such lowly work. In order to reduce costs, Feiyunmen searched for displaced people and farmers who had lost their land, and sometimes some powerful people would sell them at low prices to some people who were caught from unknown sources.
Feiyunmen was extremely harsh on these miners, and as soon as they entered the mine, they were locked up, and there was no future for them. Mining is hard work, and there are many dangers in the hole, coupled with Feiyunmen's single-minded profit, only giving Weibo food, which makes the miner mortality rate extremely high, and the demand for new miners is endless.
As a result, a strange phenomenon appeared, and there was not a single beggar or homeless person in the county where Feiyunmen was located. The county guard even played to the imperial court, calling himself a beggar county. Of course, there are no beggars, they are all in the mine cave of Feiyunmen. In this way, Yu Feiyunmen is beneficial to the government, and both parties are happy.
Over the years, in order to expand its financial resources, Feiyunmen has even started to stop the rain and pray for sunshine, drive away evil spirits and suppress ghosts. Gradually, he ignored the government and other sects. It's just that because of its power, others don't dare to say anything.
Wu Gen and the others picked one of the iron mines in Feiyunmen, preparing to sack it. Originally, according to Wu Lone's idea, he directly hit his sect, but was categorically rejected by Wu Gan. c
The place of the sect is where the foundation of the sect is, and it must be the most heavily protected place. No matter how the three of them can fight, how can they be against the hundreds of people blessed by the geographical advantage, they can't do such a stupid thing.
The method given by Wu Gen is to divide and annihilate it, specifically to destroy its periphery first, and let Feiyunmen lose blood little by little.
Feiyunmen will not see that its own financial resources are exhausted, and will definitely send people to guard, and the three of them can take the opportunity to kill the reinforcements. Eventually, the power of the Feiyun Sect will drop to a low point, and then it will be possible to decide whether to enter the sect or not.
As for whether other sects or the government will interfere during this period. These days, traveling around the county, Wu Gan and the others also found that in fact, it was the above two that hoped that Feiyunmen would be unlucky. Feiyunmen is growing
It's too fast, it has destroyed the original pattern and upset the existing balance.
In this world, there are rules both on and off the mountain, although some rules are not found in words, but everyone will abide by them, which is the so-called convention.
At present, Feiyunmen is relying on its strength, but it has become a rule-breaker, and someone urgently needs to sanction it. Therefore, Wu Gen and others will not only not cause others to stop them, but will also get the help of Ruo Ming and the dark, which is also the reason why Wu Gen chose Feiyunmen after careful consideration.
Back outside the iron mine, the three of them glanced at each other, and one of them needed to dive in to explore the terrain first.
Wu Yan looked at Wu Liao, Wu Liao's triangular eyes glared, "If the other party has a powerful person, I still need to deal with it with all my might, so you don't need to look for me for such a trivial matter."
Turning his head to look at Shui Congyue, who was holding a stick, yes, now Shui Congyue has replaced the halberd with an iron rod, after all, that halberd is really a little conspicuous, so that people with a heart can see it, it will inevitably bring trouble to the Shui family.
Shui Congyue snorted and ignored Wu Gan.
With a sigh, Wu Yan had to change into ragged clothes and prepare to go to the mine in person. The helmsman in the village only needs to give orders, but he still has to do dirty work such as spies himself, which is really a bit miserable.
Pressing the mask on his face, taking advantage of the night, Wu Gan did not pass the intersection, but quietly sneaked into the mine from a hill at the entrance.
As soon as I entered the mine, I was greeted by a foul smell. I thought it would be quieter at night, but I didn't expect there to be torches everywhere. There are still miners who bite oil lamps in their mouths and keep going in and out of the mine.
It turns out that this mine is around the clock, which shows how much Feiyunmen profits from it in a year. Since no one else dared to make trouble here, the guards in the mine were sparsely guarded, and I didn't know where those people from Feiyunmen had gone.
A group of walking corpse-shaped miners carry freshly mined ore, with an overseer behind them. According to the method of hope of the Wulao Sect, this person is not a cultivator, just an ordinary mortal, but he is just a ferocious person.
The overseer wielded a whip made of wire, cursed and hurled at the sluggish miners.
Suddenly one of the miners fell, and the overseer went up and kicked him viciously, and the man on the ground did not respond, and tried his hand in front of his nose, but he was already dead. The overseer kicked his feet twice again, summoned two miners, and ordered the corpses on the ground to be thrown into a large pit.
After the two left, Wu Qian walked to the pit, looked inside, and couldn't help covering his nose. The pit was full of dead bodies, some of which had been rotting for days, and it turned out that the stench that permeated the mine was from it. Looking at the size of the pit, there were at least a few hundred corpses thrown into it.
Wu Gan's face was grim, and he slowly retreated and left, hiding in the dark and staring at the overseer who was still shouting.
After a while, the overseer figured that he had a stomach upset, and went to a dark place and squatted down. Just as I wanted to have a good time, a shadow suddenly appeared behind me.
