The next day, Jiang Chengyun got up early in the morning and practiced in the room for a little time, until the sun rose, he opened the curtains and looked, downstairs there were already a large number of workers dressed in blue clothes began to gather, it seemed that Liu Mingde's hands and feet were very sharp, and after a while, he saw that the disciples of Shumen also came over one after another, organizing the workers to stand in line.

After a while, Ling Lu also came back, with a lot of mud on her body, but her face was still good, she said: "The matter is done, they really secretly opened a warehouse in the middle of the night to transfer most of the spirit stones, and the transfer location is in a cave in the front mountain." ”

Jiang Chengyun nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Then let's go down and see how Liu Mingde acts." ”

Zhang Nan has also been waiting outside the door, accompanied by the three of them, taking the elevator downstairs, Liu Mingde is standing on the first floor waiting, after last night's dismount, the indifference and arrogance in his expression have receded a lot, and now there is a trace of caution on his face.

"Sect Master, the personnel have been assembled neatly, you can speak."

Jiang Chengchan bowed slightly, walked out of the hall on the first floor, at this time the sun was rising, the warm light was falling, and there were more than 200 workers standing on the flat ground in front of him, and even a row of cooking aunts wearing aprons, who also came to stand in line and wait for his lecture. These people, old and young, are all special workers of the Heavenly Machine Hunting City, and they are just mortals, but they know that there are monks in this world, but they have signed a confidentiality agreement, and the consequences of violating the agreement are not bearable to them, so they can rest assured that they can use these people to work.

This group of people looked at Jiang Chengyu's immature face, and couldn't help but whisper for a while, they were all curious about whether this was the new sect master, it looked like a high school student, they had only been lectured by the great elder of the sect Liu Shouyi before, it was an old man with gray hair, who looked extremely majestic.

Jiang Chengchan stood in front of the Sifang Dading, looked at the workers in front of him, cleared his throat, and said: "Everyone, first of all, let me introduce myself, my name is Jiang Chengchan, and I am the newly appointed sect master of Shumen, and from this moment on, I will have full authority to command Shumen." ”

He paused, Zhang Nan stood aside, immediately understood, and hurriedly took the lead in applauding.

"Whoa."

Countless people in the audience began to applaud and shouted in unison: "Welcome the new sect master to take office." ”

Jiang Chengchan raised his hand, and after the audience was silent, he announced: "Everyone, I will only say three things. ”

"First, from this moment on, Gushu has entered a state of full martial law, and all workers who ask for leave and go out, including normal vacations, must ask Liu Mingde for leave in person, and everyone must not leave their posts without permission, otherwise they will be fired immediately."

As soon as this order came out, the people below were agitated, obviously a little dissatisfied, on weekdays, they were on time off, they were all free, and they didn't have to be restrained at all, but this sect master came up and did it. Jiang Chengyun's eyes were like electricity, he looked carefully at the workers below who were whispering, and continued to announce: "The second point, during the construction period, everyone has full authority to obey my command, no matter what work in hand, they must be put down immediately, listen to my transfer, even if the gold is dug up, I ask you to withdraw, you have to withdraw, and the violator will be fined one month's salary." ”

At this time, the old workers were even more dissatisfied, and the leader of the squad took the lead and asked: "In case of a collapse, can't even the machine drive away?" Who will bear the loss? ”

"Me." Jiang Chengyun said: "No matter what machine is damaged, I will bear it myself, and I don't need you to worry." ”

The squad leader lowered his head and didn't say anything more, Jiang Chengyun glanced around, and continued to announce: "Third, everyone, regardless of the size of their official position, will receive a salary increase of 1.5 times. ”

"What?" All the workers were boiling instantly, they had been grinding foreign workers in this ancient Shu mine for half a year, not to mention spirit stones, gold, and even ordinary iron ore had not been dug out, seeing that this mine was about to go out of business, it was impossible for the sect to continue to lose money and dig, in this case, whether their jobs could be kept or not, as a result, the new sect master waved his hand, and actually had to raise wages?

Jiang Chengyun smiled, he expected this situation, and no matter how dark Liu Mingde's face was, he directly ordered: "All orders will take effect immediately, with a period of one month, and a temporary trial operation." ”

Then, to the cheers of the workers, he dismissed the crowd. The workers put on their hard hats and set off happily towards the mine deep in the mountains. Although the mine is still spewing a thin layer of sneering gas, it is difficult for people to approach, but the surrounding area is peaceful and can continue to dig.

Liu Mingde's face turned black like the bottom of a pot, walked up to him, and asked, "Sect Master Jiang is so good, I don't know where the money for the salary increase comes from?" ”

"That's your problem, Tianji Hunting City issued a year's subsidy, this is just June, I believe you have enough cash flow in your hands, first go to the top, and I will solve the hole in the back."

Liu Mingde was silent and continued: "Doesn't Sect Master Jiang want to open the Shumen warehouse, it is under this building, and we can start opening it now." ”

"There's no hurry." Jiang Chengcheng took a deep breath, as if feeling the fresh air in the deep mountains. He said lazily: "The weather is so good, the scenery in this deep mountain has a different flavor, I don't know if the mountain in front of me has a name?" ”

He pointed to the mountain ahead, which was not high and beautiful, full of ancient trees and vines, and bright flowers blooming on the sunny slope.

Liu Mingde shook his head and said, "It's just a barren mountain, nameless." ”

Jiang Chengyun nodded and said, "I see that this mountain is several miles longitudinal and horizontal, and there are barren mountains embracing each other in front and back, so why don't I give this mountain a name, it will be called Jubao Mountain." ”

"Okay, then this mountain will be called Jubao Mountain." Liu Mingde said lightly, although he didn't know what he meant, his eyebrows were still calm.

"Look, there seems to be a cave on the mountainside." Jiang Chengyun said quietly: "It's a good day, how about going shopping with me?" ”

Liu Mingde's heart jumped, he frowned, and said with a dodge in his eyes: "That's the elder's retreat, so don't bother." Aren't you going to the warehouse, let's get going! ”

"That's great." Jiang Chengyun grabbed his hand and said with a smile: "It just so happens that my new official has taken office and needs to visit his seniors, so it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, so let's go up the mountain at this time!" ”

Liu Mingde knew in his heart that it was probably known by this kid when he transferred the spirit stones last night, otherwise he would not have to go to this cave in the mountain, he sighed and said: "Let's say it bluntly, Sect Master Jiang, my sect currently only has thirty-five catties of spirit stones, this is the accumulation of three generations of my family, what are you going to do?" ”

Jiang Chengchan thought about it, and it took fifteen thousand money to exchange for "Tomb Miscellaneous", that is, fifteen kilograms of spirit stones.

He opened his mouth and said, "Then I only need thirty catties, give them to me, and pay you sixty catties in a month." ”

Liu Mingde wants to cry without tears, what kind of hairy boy is this, he is simply a bandit, and he will move people's lives when he comes up. He didn't believe in Jiang Chengyun's promise at all, he hadn't even been to the mine, so he was sure that he could dig out sixty catties of spirit stones, and no one would believe it.

"It's really not good, every sect has a spirit stone reserve index, if it is all lost, the headquarters will also track it down."

Jiang Chengchan smiled, raised four fingers, and swore: "I, Jiang Chengchan, make a blood oath here, if I can't make my promise, a month later, I am willing to make a self-determination in front of Dading and exchange my words with blood." ”

Liu Mingde lowered his head, the expression on his face was uncertain, and finally said: "Sect Master Jiang, I understand your young and frivolous, in this way, let's go to the mine first to check the situation, if you read it, you still think you can do it, at night, I will send all thirty-five catties of spirit stones to your room." ”

"Good!" Jiang Chengyun patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's leave now." ”

Liu Mingde sighed, went to find an off-road vehicle, pulled the three of them, and set off towards the deep mountains, the location of the mine is very remote, in the place where the mountains meet, although there are transportation roads opened up on the road, but it is still rugged, the roadside is full of thorns, and many signs of wildlife activities can be seen from time to time.

Go to the depths of the mountain bay, this road is only a dirt road, scattered full of muck and gravel, rugged and abnormal, so pull over and stop the car, the four began to set off on foot towards the deep mountain, can already hear the sound of the roar of the machine in the distance, it seems that the construction has started, over the last mountain beam, there is a majestic mountain in front, not how high, the mountain is extraordinarily majestic, but the mountain has been blown down a lot, the top of the mountain has also been blown off, it looks very broken.

At this moment, countless workers are working along the mountain, and all kinds of machines are taking turns to dig mines in the mountain. Liu Mingde pointed to the western mountain pass, where there were no workers or machines, and he said: "That is the location of the ancient Shu mine, and now the evil qi is not so strong, but it is still thin and cannot be entered." ”

"Let's go down and have a look."

When the four of them got down the mountain beam, crossed the rocky hill, and crossed the construction site, many workers greeted Jiang Chengcheng, obviously thanking him for his wage increase, he smiled and responded casually. When they passed through the construction site, the dirt under their feet had changed color significantly, from earthy yellow to dark red, and he grabbed a handful of dirt and pinched it, it was very wet, and although the water he grabbed was muddy, it was not red. It seems that this is not the legendary bloody mud field.

A few people bypassed the side of the mountain and came to the front of the ancient Shu mine cave, which really shocked Jiang Chengcheng, and collapsed into a huge black hole in the blasted mountain, with a diameter of forty or fifty meters, obliquely deep underground, like an abyss, pitch black and boundless, and like the mouth of a giant beast, spectacular and abnormal.

In the entrance of the cave, a dark red fog continues to float out, slowly rising to the sky, and all the grass and trees in the mountains above it are dead, this is the evil qi, this kind of thing is extremely corrosive, the steel touches, and it will melt into scrap iron in a few seconds, and in the open space in front of the mine, there are several piles of rusty and rotten steel frames, which are the forklifts that were eroded into slag by the most turbulent gas spray a few days ago.

"You see that the edges of the mine are very rounded, like polished." Liu Mingde said: "Originally, the mine was not so big, only 10 meters in diameter, but it was eroded by the evil qi, and the mountain rocks began to melt, and finally became such a big hole. ”

"What are your guesses about this mine?" Jiang Chengcheng asked.

"At first, I thought it was an ancient tomb, but the elders thought that although this mountain was extraordinary, it did not conform to the feng shui of the tomb, surrounded by barren mountains, and there was no wind or water, so it was a place of great desperation, and it was not suitable to build a tomb." Liu Mingde pointed to the mine and said: "The elders think that the depths of this cave are a dead snake vein, similar to the dragon vein, but not as good as the dragon vein, so it is called the snake vein. ”

He added: "The snake vein is also a very high-grade earth vein, which often contains heavenly and earthly treasures, or spirit stones, gold, and the like. ”

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that the dragon vein is the feng shui of the prosperity of the dynasty, and it is also the guarantee of the fortune of the dynasty, and they believe that the dragon vein has magical power to protect the country. In fact, the monks also had the same opinion, any formed leyline was a condensation of the general trend of heaven and earth, absorbing a lot of heaven and earth essence, and it was very easy to give birth to rich spirit stones and rare refining metals.

Jiang Chengyun nodded, he didn't really care if this was a tomb or not, he only planned to exchange for a copy of "Tomb Miscellaneous", and then use this mountain to complete the money laundering (washing spirit stone). But the cave is really remarkable and worth digging into, and he wants to walk forward.

But he was stopped by Liu Mingde and said, "Sect Master Jiang, although there is no red gas in front of you, if you take another ten steps forward, you will be attacked by evil qi. ”

Jiang Chengyun stopped and motioned for Zero Lu.

"Okay." Zero Dew nodded, her whole body began to burn with divine power, forming a layer of blue protective barrier, she moved her slender legs, and began to move slowly towards the evil qi, you can clearly see that she only walked ten steps, the protective barrier on her body began to twist and deform, she stomped her feet, increased the output of divine power, and her body ignited a more vigorous blue light, so that she resisted the evil qi.

She continued thirty steps forward and began to step into the visible range of red evil qi, at which point her protective barrier began to flicker violently, constantly deforming, as if she could no longer withstand the invasion of evil qi. Liu Mingde was also worried, and reminded him: "The masters of the Qi Refining Period can only hold on to this evil qi for three minutes, so it's better to quit as soon as possible!" ”

"It doesn't matter." Jiang Chengyun shook his head and shouted, "Take out the treasure to resist." ”

Zero Lu nodded, and took out a long knife made of glass from his cuff, which was the Great Dao Glass Blade, which he gave her to use. She took a deep breath, stretched this blade out of the range of the protective barrier, touched the evil qi, only to hear a buzz, its glass-like blade body, immediately flashed dazzling colorful light, like a holy light, temporarily dispelled the evil qi around her, so that within three meters around her, there was no red mist.

"Sure enough." Jiang Chengtao's eyes froze, and he laughed out loud in his heart, the Great Dao Glass is the exclusive refining material of the immortals, which is extremely sacred, and can drive away evil spirits and avoid disasters.

The colorful light flashed, and the glass blade returned to normal, but it still held up an invisible layer of protection for Zero Dew, isolating the evil qi. Liu Mingde, who watched this scene, was dumbfounded, he had never seen such a sacred light, nor had he ever seen such an artifact, it was like a legendary water-repellent bead, which could actually separate the evil qi and create a vacuum.
