Chapter 7 Once upon a time there was a mountain, and there was a man in the mountain

Qingyu Village is a village of more than 100 households.

It is located fifty miles south of Baining City.

Su Ming rushed over overnight, and when he arrived at Qingyu Village, the genius was slightly bright.

Qingyu Village, he and Hu Hu came to ask once before, but they didn't ask for any useful information. But he felt that there might be something missing. Originally, I planned to come back and ask again if there were no clues.

Although it was only dawn, there were already many people working in the fields.

That's how it is in this era.

You must work early, otherwise when the sun comes out, it will be too sunny.

Follow the route of memory into the village, and soon come to the door of the village chief's house.

The door is open.

The village chief's name is Li Changxi, an old man in his sixties, who is in good health, and he cleans the yard early in the morning.

Seeing Su Ming appear at the door, Li Changxi was startled at first, then hurriedly dropped the broom, clapped his hands on his clothes, and greeted him, "Master Su, what kind of wind blew you over again?" ”

Su Ming replied: "Ask something, it's still something related to Old Man Han's case." ”

"Didn't you ask last time?" Li Changxi accompanied the smiling face, and then seemed to realize that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly said, "I'll go and gather the people in the village." ”

Su Ming shook his head: "You don't need to gather others first. Last time, we only asked if anything special had happened in the last five or six days, and I think we misled you. ”

As he spoke, he followed Li Changxi into the house, "I came here this time to ask a little more clearly...... Was there anything particularly different about the month ahead? ”

Li Changxi frowned slightly, thought for a while, and replied, "If there is something special, it is that the girl from Li Ergou's family married in the next village." ”

"Nothing else?"

Su Ming asked.

Li Changxi shook his head.

"Further on?"

Su Ming said again.

"The baby of Li Siwang's family is engaged to the daughter of the king of the next village."

Li Changxi replied.

Su Ming was silent.

The red and white wedding in the small village is a big deal, but it has nothing to do with the affairs of Old Man Han.

Or is it not people, but places?

Thinking of this, he said, "Are there any strange mountains or places near your village?" ”

"The Baitou Mountain at the back of the village is a strange place, and people often get lost in it."

Li Changxi thought about it and replied.

Su Ming said: "Take me to see." ”

Li Changxi hesitated and nodded.

The two of them walked together in the direction of the back of the village.

When you walk to the middle of the village.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of suona blowing and beating, a lively and joyful tune.

"What is this doing?"

Su Ming turned his head and asked.

"The kiss is back, is the baby of Li Siwang's family engaged? Today is the day of marriage. Li Changxi explained.

"Oh!"

Su Ming nodded and didn't care.

The two continued their walk into the mountains.

"Village chief, I can be regarded as looking for you, my cow's happy day, I can't miss you."

A voice suddenly sounded, Su Ming looked back, and saw a fifty-year-old farmer running over.

"Li Siwang, I don't have time today, I want to accompany the adults from the city to investigate the case." Li Changxi waved his hand at Li Siwang.

Li Siwang heard Li Changxi's words, looked at Su Ming next to him, his face changed, and he hurriedly said: "Village chief, you are busy, don't bother." After saying that, he quickly walked away.

There is a problem with this Li Siwang......

Su Ming frowned slightly, after reaching the first layer of the Qi cultivation period, his eyesight was much better.

He could see Li Siwang's expression clearly just now, and when he came to find the village chief today, he didn't wear an official uniform. It's because Li Changxi doesn't say it, but few people can recognize him.

Li Changxi revealed his identity, and Li Siwang found that he was a little panicked at most, but just now he obviously saw a weakness in Li Siwang's eyes and expression.

It's not the kind of fear that is weak, it's the kind that is a thief.

This is the experience he inherited from his predecessors, and it is very unlikely that he will be wrong.

"That Li Siwang's family, what abnormal situation has happened recently, such as suddenly having an extra sum of money, or something else?" Su Ming turned his head and asked.

Li Changxi was stunned for a moment, "A lot of money...... It seems that there is such a thing, but I forgot about it without saying it. About half a year ago, he said that he dug up a plant of orchid grass from the mountains and sold it in the city for twenty taels of silver, and the money for his baby's marriage came from this. ”

"Lan Xian Grass?"

Su Ming frowned slightly.

This grass is unique to this era, but he knows a thing or two. The key thing is that this grass only sells more than ten taels in pharmacies.

Li Siwang has no way out, and it is impossible to sell it for twenty taels.

It's greasy.

"Village Chief Li, you go and find Li Siwang, and I'll ask something."

Su Ming commanded.

"Hey...... Good! ”

Li Changxi originally wanted to say something, but when he saw Su Ming's expression, he shut up with interest, and quickly chased in the direction where Li Siwang left.

After a while, Li Changxi led Li Siwang over.

Before Su Ming could speak, Li Siwang hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed, and said, "Master Su, I didn't mean to hide it, but I was really scared!" ”

Belch......

Save trouble, don't use coercion and temptation.

Su Ming muttered to himself, and then said, "What did you do, you say it first." ”

"Half a year ago, I didn't sell Lanxian grass, but two stones, shiny stones. When I got to the city, I was taken by a lord and bought mine for twenty taels. ”

Li Siwang poured beans into a bamboo tube and said the same thing, "I went to the city a few days ago and heard that the old man's whole family was dead. In the end, the matter was suppressed, and it was said to be related to Old Man Han.

Later, when I heard that Mr. Han was coming to us, I felt that it had something to do with these two stones. The little ones are afraid of getting into trouble, so they really don't dare to say it. ”

Su Ming raised his eyebrows.

He had heard of this case, and the county order did not let him intervene, and Hu Hu handled it. In the end, the result of the investigation was a case done by a Jiangyang thief, but it was obvious that there were many doubts in the case, and they were all closed.

But that's not his focus.

The point is......

Spirit stone, this Li Siwang picked up is the spirit stone he found in the secret room.

If you can pick up two, there may be others.

If there are a lot of spirit stones, heh, don't worry about the case, first find a place to hide and cultivate for a while.

Thinking of this, his heart was a little hot, and his face was still expressionless, "Where did you pick up those two stones?" ”

"In a hill ten miles east of the village."

Li Siwang replied.

"Take me now!" Su Ming opened his mouth, thought about it, took out a tael of silver from his pocket, and said, "This should be the wedding money for your son." ”

"Thank you, sir!"

Li Siwang kowtowed like pounding garlic.

……

"This is the place!"

Li Siwang pointed to a place about a hundred meters in front of him and said.

Su Ming nodded.

Start looking closely.

At this time, they were halfway up the mountain, and the place Li Siwang said was a valley, about 300 meters long and 200 meters wide. Looking down from the mountainside into the valley, you can't see anything special.

"I'll have to go inside the valley."

Su Ming thought secretly, thought about it, and sent Li Siwang back to the village, while he went down to the bottom of the valley.

After going around, I didn't find the spirit stone.

"Is it really Li Siwang's occasional gain?"

Su Ming's brows tightened, and his gaze swept over the mountains around the valley, just as his gaze focused on the mountain peak in front of him. An unexpected word appeared on the golden paper.

【Spirit Stone Mine.】

Mineral Content: ??? (Analyzable)

Mining difficulty: ??? (Analyzable)

】

His heartbeat unconsciously accelerated, and he originally thought that he could pick up some spirit stones, but he didn't expect to find a mine directly.

At that moment, another message appeared on the golden paper.

【Tsuchizo Array.】

Formation Level: ??? (Analyzable)

Formation Method: ??? (Analyzable)

Breaking Method: ??? (Analyzable)

How to enter: ??? (Analyzable)

Formation Function: ??? (Analyzable)

】

"How can there be a formation?"

Su Ming was stunned for a moment, and then saw a person come out of the valley.
