Regarding Grandma Sun's question, Qin Yun could only smile helplessly, and he didn't know how to answer.

"If you don't say it, I know that it's offending people, right?"

How could Grandma Sun not understand what was going on, and watched Qin Yun's gaze soften.

She thought for a while and said: "It's not good for me to come forward to help you in this matter, even if I help you this time, I can't help you next time, although the winter guard mine is hard and dangerous, but it is also a grind for a young man like you." ”

As she spoke, she picked out a book from each of the two rows of bookshelves in the back.

"Although this book is only a high-level exercise, it is still very good as the basic exercise of the Light Body Lifting Technique, and you can learn it when you open up the meridians and acupoints of your legs. ”

"There is also a catalogue of demon spirits in Kyushu, which records hundreds of demon beasts and spirit beasts on the Kyushu continent, if you go to Manglong Mountain to guard the mine, you may encounter demon beasts, which will be useful to you. ”

"Thank you!" Qin Yun hurriedly took over the books, these two books were what he needed the most at the moment.

"You don't have to thank me!" Grandma Sun said coldly: "Thousands of miles of magic travel requires five family merits, and the demon spirit catalog needs two, but it was not given to you for nothing!"

Despite this, Qin Yun was still grateful.

This grandmother who guards the library is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and she can be regarded as taking care of him.

After paying for the seven family merits, Qin Yun took two books and left.

Grandma Sun watched his back disappear at the top of the stairs, as if thinking about something, and after a long time, a murmur sounded in the silent library.

"It's a bit like."

......

Early in the morning, when the sky is still bright.

Qin Yun quietly left the Qin Manor and followed a team of people from the Foundry Hall to leave Thousand Tides City and head to Manglong Mountain.

The majestic Manglong Mountains are like a huge barrier to the cold wind and snow from the north.

On the south side of the mountain range, the power of winter will not be felt until the end of November.

Therefore, the mines in the mountains must withdraw personnel before the heavy snow closes the mountain, otherwise once the mountain road is blocked, it will be very difficult to come back, and the family will not spend a huge price to clear the road.

The Qin clan has more than a dozen large and small mines in Manglong Mountain, and there are dozens of children who are sent to guard, and there must be more guards in important large mines, and naturally there are more people needed.

Almost all of these cousins, who were assigned the task of guarding the mines, were depressed and depressed, and from time to time they could be heard sighing on the back of pack horses.

All the people who enter the mountain have pack horses to travel.

The pack horse is a short-legged horse with stubby limbs, very good at climbing mountains and mountains, and has great stamina, and is best suited for transporting people and goods on rough and difficult mountain roads.

The children had to stay in the mountains for months, and although there were supplies in the mines, they would definitely have to bring some necessary equipment and supplies, and they would die of exhaustion if they did not have pack horses to carry loads.

"Everyone, cheer up, in fact, three months have passed very quickly!" said the leader of the Foundry Hall loudly, "As long as you take care of the mine, you will have a very good reward to get when you come back." ”

The steward of the Foundry Hall was a rough middle-aged man with a strong physique and a huge voice, and he constantly comforted Qin Yun and the others along the way.

But most of the time, his words of comfort only drew the eyes of his children—you can say it easily!

Since the mines were distributed in different places, after entering Manglong Mountain, the people in the team continued to disperse and leave, and in the end, only the team leader and steward were left with Qin Yun.

"Young man, the black iron mine you went to is newly opened up, and the location is the farthest," the team leader said meaningfully: "That place is not very safe, the surrounding beasts have not been cleaned up, maybe there are demon beasts." ”

"I see that you are a good person, and I also remind you, if you encounter any danger, run away, if you don't have a life, you will have nothing!"

"I understand, thank you for the reminder!" Qin Yun nodded.

Qin Yun had already been mentally prepared for possible dangers, but he would definitely not be intimidated by the danger.

The two rode pack horses in the mountains for almost three days, crossing at least a dozen mountains before finally reaching the black iron mine.

The mine is nestled in the middle of mountains, surrounded by dense primeval forests and snow-capped peaks, with a large cavern carved out under a steep mountain wall.

The woods within a hundred paces of the mine were cut down, and long rows of wooden houses and smelting workshops were built.

Due to the inconvenient transportation, the ore excavated from the mine is usually refined in the mining area, and then the smelted copper and iron are transported back to the Thousand Tides City workshop by pack horse.

The miners in the black iron mine had all been withdrawn early in the morning, and only a few people were left in charge of guarding.

Seeing the team leader and Qin Yun coming, these people all showed a relieved expression, and they almost couldn't wait to step forward to hand over the task to Qin Yun.

The team leader and steward didn't stay too long, and the matters that needed to be paid attention to in guarding the mine had already been told to Qin Yun on the way.

"I'll leave it to you!"

Before leaving, he patted Qin Yun on the shoulder and said, "After the ice and snow melt next spring, I will come here again to pick you up!"

After they left, Qin Yun was the only one left in the huge mine.

The empty valley is lonely, and if it were another timid person staying here, I am afraid that I would be scared half to death.

Qin Yun felt very safe, although Qianchao City was good, he always felt depressed in the family, and he usually didn't dare to be a little willful.

And in this world, he can be as free as possible.

While it was still dark, Qin Yun walked around the mine to familiarize himself with the situation.

The scale of this black iron mine is not very large, but it is very well equipped, with dormitories, kitchens, warehouses, stables, etc., and there are special pipes to receive water from the side of the rock wall.

There was still a lot of grain in the warehouse, which was enough for Qin Yun to eat until the spring of the next year.

He picked the best house in the dormitory and lived in it.

This time when he entered the mountain, Qin Yun brought all his belongings over, such as the Qinggang Sword, the Thousand Forged Black Iron Sword, the Hunting Bow and other weapons, and the winter clothes and leather armor purchased in the Thousand Tides City.

There is also a nest of needle bees.

With this nest of seventy-two golden needle bees in his hands, Qin Yun was much more confident.

After settling down, Qin Yun cooked dinner by himself to fill his stomach.

Back in his room, he closed the door and took out the beehive and a white porcelain medicine bottle wrapped in a duffel bag.

Carefully poured a few drops of liquid medicine from the medicine bottle into the palm of his hand and applied it evenly on his face, then Qin Yun picked up the honeycomb, reached out and slapped three palms at the bottom.

Airplanes!

With a creepy hiss, dozens of bee bugs quickly flew out of the hive.

Each bee was nearly two inches long, bright gold, and a sharp bee sting flashing with cold light peeked out from behind its swollen body.

The golden bees that poured out of the nest circled and flew around the room, but none of them came within three feet of Qin Yun.

These golden thorn bees were cultivated by the old man in black who was killed by Qin Yun into countless painstaking efforts, although they were not yet fully mature, but seventy-two golden stinger bees came out together, and it was not a problem at all to kill a few Qin Yun.

Although he did not yet have the ability to use the golden needle bee as an arm, he had already learned the basic tips of feeding and releasing the enemy from the books left by the old man in black.

Due to the special medicine applied to their bodies, the golden thorn bee did not dare to approach, but if an outsider suddenly broke into the room where Qin Yun was, then these bee worms would attack the intruder at the end of their lives.

With their care, Qin Yun could cultivate with peace of mind.

He sat cross-legged on the bed, Qinggang sword crossed in front of his knees, closed his eyes and silently performed Xuangong.

Driven by the mental method, the pure true qi is injected into the sea of knowledge from the martial vein.

The Qiankun Heaven Replenishing Stone was brilliant, and the golden runes suspended on the Divine Stone instantly turned into powder!

Qin Yun shuddered and reopened his eyes.

He was no longer in the room, surrounded by endless grasslands, and hundreds of millions of verdant grasses formed a huge green carpet, which fluctuated with the blowing wind.

In this vast green sea, there are no mountains, hills, streams, trees, birds, beasts, insects and birds, and the scene is terrifying.

The sky above the head is gray and chaotic, and there is no sun, moon, stars or clouds in sight.

But Qin Yun didn't have the slightest surprise or doubt.

Because it's not the first time he's entered this strange space.

In fact, this space does not exist in reality, but comes from Qin Yun's own sea of consciousness, and what is in it is only his divine soul consciousness.

At the beginning, Qin Yun flipped through the true solution of the sword path and triggered the Great Freedom Sword Intent to break through the prohibition of the Qiankun Mending Heaven Stone, and while obtaining the core secret of the Divine Stone, he also obtained a great divine power.

This great supernatural power is called the Qiankun Secret Realm, and once the supernatural power is activated, it can form a small Qiankun world in Qin Yun's sea of consciousness.

The Qiankun Secret Realm was the most peculiar and mysterious of the thirty-six great divine powers of the Qiankun Heaven Replenishing Stone, and it could not make Qin Yun immediately possess some kind of powerful ability like the Wisdom of the Heart.

Once the Qiankun Secret Realm was activated, Qin Yun's Divine Soul Consciousness would enter the Little Qiankun World, which was the space he was in now.

After exploring, Qin Yun found that he could practice the swordsmanship and internal qi heart method he had learned in the small Qiankun world, and the Qinggang Sword could be brought in as long as it was placed on his body, and it was exactly the same as the external body.

The wonderful thing is that the time in the small world is different from the outside world, staying in it for twelve hours, and only half an hour has passed in the outside world!

Although no matter how hard he practiced inside, he could not enhance the strength of his true body, but the experience and experience in the cultivation process could remain in his memory.

This is equivalent to saying that the cultivation experience he can gain in half an hour is equivalent to an entire day before!

What's even more powerful is that in the small Qiankun world, Qin Yun can cultivate the inner qi heart method without any scruples and according to his own understanding, and he will not affect the main body if he goes mad, and he can start again if he fails.

It was precisely because of the existence of the Qiankun Secret Realm that Qin Yun was not worried that the Winter Guard Mine would delay his cultivation.
