The hilly terrain of southwest China offers many beautiful scenery due to its rolling hills, but poor transportation has also made it unwell developed, and in some places barren.

In this group of mountains, rich flora, fauna and mineral resources are preserved, waiting for the arrival of those who know treasures.

Of course, most of these treasure-savvy people are greedy and crazy, and they love to take risks.

The sky is not yet fully bright, and the mountains in the morning light seem to have not yet awakened, and somewhere in the mountains, black spots are like scars of lesions, which are small coal kilns opened by private bosses on the mountains. It is in these ugly and humble coal kilns that many people have exploded, accumulating in a short period of time wealth that others cannot get in their lifetimes, but this wealth is built on the blood and tears of many more people.

There were a lot of people standing outside a mine in the clouds, and there seemed to be a lot of commotion.

"It's out! It's out! A young miner shouted hurriedly, his voice a little hoarse.

"Prepare to rescue!" The one who spoke was a middle-aged fat man, and he knew at a glance that he was the mine boss.

The commotion of the crowd intensified, and several miners emerged from the mine, carrying out three dying men, one of whom was older.

"I found three, and the others didn't see them."

"It's still angry, hurry up!"

"Woke up one! Come on! ”

“……”

The onlookers began to roar, and the local dialects were mixed in, and a bald man in a clean jacket rushed over when he heard someone wake up, and then asked anxiously, "How is it?" What about the others? Where are the others? ”

Aking up was the older miner, his eyes wide open, as if he had been greatly frightened, and the man next to him brought him some water, but he coughed a few times and squirted the water out, and then shouted in panic.

"Ahh It's too old...... It's too old to ......"

He struggled with his hands and feet, and the miner next to him looked at him inexplicably, not knowing what to do.

"Dead...... All dead, breaking ground on Tai Sui's head......"

At this time, the bald man ran to the fat boss's side while wiping his sweat to report the situation, and the fat man also looked panicked after hearing this, but it was only a moment of panic, his small eyes turned quickly, and he pulled the bald man next to him and began to whisper.

"This is a dozen lives, send someone to look for it quickly, and ...... Spend a little more money and keep this thing down. ”

……

"It's so hateful, I don't take human life seriously!" Li Shan angrily threw the newspaper on the table.

"What's wrong?" Mo Jiangnan on the other side asked strangely.

"It's not the private mine owners, and unregulated mining will kill a lot of people." Li Shan sighed compassionately.

Mo Jiangnan looked at Li Shan, and suddenly smiled: "You forgot, didn't your family also buy a few mines abroad, you are now the chairman, and you are also a mine boss, but you are much better than them." ”

"How can it be the same, I'm a regular miner, how can it be like this garbage for quick success." Li Shan took a sip of tea angrily, and suddenly remembered something and said to Mo Jiangnan: "By the way, you asked me to come out for dinner, and I haven't said anything yet." ”

Mo Jiangnan frowned, thinking about how to phrase it, Li Shan asked again: "Why is it difficult to speak?" Short of money to spend? ”

Mo Jiangnan smiled bitterly and said, "That's not it, it's just that I don't know where to tell you." ”

"Then talk slowly, I'll see if I can help you solve the trouble." Li Shan said boldly.

"You can be like me as a boss, it's quite a friend." Mo Jiangnan said with some gratitude.

"Don't be like this, I'm for talent, to be honest, the first time I saw you, I thought you were extraordinary." Li Shan laughed and said, "What to say, help you grab a girlfriend, it's easy to talk about the rest." ”

Mo Jiangnan smiled bitterly, shook his head and asked, "Are you familiar with Hong Tiansheng?" ”

Li Shan thought for a while and said, "I have had dealings, so I can understand something." ”

"Is it a work relationship? I mean, everyday life ......."

At this time, Li Shan's eyes flashed wonderfully: "What do you want to ask?" ”

"Do you know about Xiuzhen?"

"This ...... It is found in many classics. ”

"I'm not talking about books, realistic, Hong Tiansheng."

Li Shan's expression froze, he tilted his head slightly to look around, and then lowered his voice and asked, "Did you see something?" ”

Mo Jiangnan nodded.

"What the hell do you see?" Li Shan asked.

"I saw him ......" Mo Jiangnan hesitated for a moment, and decided to hide the fact that Hong Tiansheng sent people to besiege and kill an old man, "He is very powerful, he can fly." "He still saw the ability to fly from the sword technique.

Li Shan's expression was already very serious, "Who else have you mentioned this matter to?" ”

Mo Jiangnan said: "There is no one else, I only told you." ”

Li Shan breathed a sigh of relief: "You'd better not tell anyone about this, just treat it as if you haven't seen it, and don't mention it in the future." ”

"Why?"

Mo Jiangnan didn't want to bury this matter in his heart from now on, especially after seeing that earth-shattering knife. He read all the exercises left by the sword last night, and he couldn't understand and wasn't interested in those mysterious things such as the aura that led to heaven and earth and cast the root of all things, but there was a part of it called "refining tools" that made his eyes shine.

Who is Mo Jiangnan? It is a sword-forging craftsman who has been passed down from generation to generation, and the "magic weapon" described in the "Refining Chapter" is a new realm for these people, especially for the crazy craftsmen in the Mo Jiangnan family who are willing to contribute countless generations of youth to the craft. Mo Jiangnan strongly felt that what was shown to him in the refining chapter was the Glorious Dao.

Li Shan frowned and thought about it for a while, so he said: "Xiuzhen is recorded in many classics that have been handed down, so many people have heard of it, but it is rare to see it. It is rumored that many Taoist sects have these cultivators, and they are not afraid of people talking about these, with the strength of those sects, who dares to find out? Even if you go, you will return in vain. ”

Turning the water cup in front of him, Li Shan sighed: "The family is different, it is those cultivation families that have been passed down from generation to generation, many of them are hidden and cultivated, just for fear that those fellow Taoists will attack them, rob them of the secret books of the exercises, grab the materials of the magic weapons, and even rob the true essence of people." Those big sects naturally won't start, but more of them are half-hung cultivators, and the cultivation world has a fatal attraction to them, which is why I told you to keep it a secret, and no cultivator family wants to be exposed to the world. ”

Mo Jiangnan nodded slowly, and suddenly asked Li Shan in a low voice: "Your family is also a Xiuzhen family, right?" ”

Li Shan looked at him for a long time before nodding and asked, "Do you know why I can become the chairman of the board of directors at such a young age?" ”

Mo Jiangnan shook his head.

"You think I want to do it, and the people in my family who are more qualified than me are cultivating, so you just threw this mess to me." Li Shan said with a wry smile, "For people like us, it is impossible to look at the money, fame, and status in the world, so it has been said that people in the hidden world have a noble character since ancient times. But you must not take it seriously, they don't want to look down on them, if there is really something that can arouse their hope, then they will be more ruthless than anyone else. ”

"Then why does your family still have such a big industry, and it's not better to cultivate?" Mo Jiangnan questioned.

"Are you one of those sects that have gone through thousands of years, we don't have complete exercises, we don't have the massive materials in stock, all of this has to be bought with money, although the people of the sect who bought things are not eye-catching, it is much better than nothing." Li Shan sighed and said: "Xiuzhen is really a money-burning sport, I tell you these are to let you know the sinister nature of Xiuzhen, look at you like a nerd, if you lose your life because of nonsense, it is not worth it, I treat you as a friend, I hope you keep it a secret." ”

Mo Jiangnan nodded, but said in his mouth: "I want to cultivate the truth, can you teach me?" ”

Hearing this, Li Shan was slightly stunned, and then said categorically: "No, first of all, the family's exercises cannot be passed on, these are the foundation of the family." Secondly, not everyone who wants to cultivate the truth can be taught, because the fight between people is inevitable, and the power of the cultivator is too great, you can imagine, if two people fight with fists, then most of the consequences are to suffer a little flesh and skin, if you give one of them a knife, it will hurt the muscles and bones, and if you give one of them a bomb, there will be no life at the end of the fight. ”

"I understand what you say, but I have another purpose."

Mo Jiangnan told Li Shan about the fate of his ancestors, hearing this kind of thing, even if Li Shan was knowledgeable, he couldn't help but sigh, but at the same time, he also sincerely admired Mo Jiangnan's ancestors.

"So you want to learn alchemy, huh? You even know how to refine tools, and you're very researched. ”

Mo Jiangnan didn't say that he saw it from the sword technique, that exercise was the entrustment of the sword master, although he couldn't understand it, he couldn't let others see it. Thinking of this, Mo Jiangnan regretted a little, the knife had already loosened his mouth after yesterday, it seemed that as long as Mo Jiangnan was willing, he could teach it even if he didn't need to apprentice, maybe he would pass on the hundred-year cultivation to himself all of a sudden, why worry about looking at the exercises now.

"If you want to learn refining weapons, don't learn from the Xiuzhen family, you have to go to those major sects to learn it." Li Shan explained, "Due to all kinds of defects in the Xiuzhen family, there are almost no people who can cultivate for two or three hundred years, and they have been cultivating for generations, and those who have really cultivated a famous hall have never heard of it, not to mention the ability to refine weapons, how can there be a regularity of the sect of the family." ”

Mo Jiangnan nodded deeply, but was struck by Li Shan and said: "However, the sects of thousands of years are not so easy to enter, all of them are guys with eyes above the top, and as far as I know, it is rare for these sects to accept an apprentice in a hundred years." ”

The two of them were silent for a moment of eye to eye, and Mo Jiangnan suddenly roared in a rough voice: "I have decided!" ”

Li Shan was stunned: "What did you decide?" ”

"I'm going to find these sects and see them." Mo Jiangnan said resolutely.

"But you're going to work tomorrow."

Mo Jiangnanqi said: "I thought you were a member of the Xiuzhen family and wouldn't care about this kind of worldly thing." ”

Li Shan was speechless, but if he wanted to know that Mo Jiangnan didn't plan to apprentice and wanted to learn things, he would definitely be even more speechless.
