Chapter 54: Everything is ready
Liu Mingde looked at everything in front of him dumbfounded, while Jiang Chengyun didn't think so, he stood with his chest hugged, his face was flat, and he couldn't help asking, "Sect Master Jiang, what is this blade?" ”
"It's just a treasure at home." Jiang Chengyun said lightly: "Rule 3, don't ask more." ”
Liu Mingde immediately closed his mouth, but he couldn't help muttering in his heart, is this kid really the gentleman shown in the information, the arrogant and domineering rich second generation, why are there surprises one after another? I guess it's really a picket sent by the headquarters. Thinking of this, there was a hint of caution and awe on his face.
Zero Dew walked all the way to the front of the mine, and in front of this huge black hole, she looked very small, like a small vegetable leaf in the mouth of a giant beast. She observed the edge of the mine, the rock here was slowly corroded by the red evil qi, and from time to time the rock liquid dripped down, and the mine in front of her was as black as an abyss, and the evil qi was getting thicker and thicker. She raised her hand and condensed a ball of light, which entered the mine, illuminating the darkness, and it could be seen that this place went straight underground, but unfortunately the ball of light was quickly eroded by the evil qi and disappeared into the darkness.
She turned around and shouted, "Sect Master, I'll go down and have a look." ”
"Stay safe." Jiang Chengyun shouted: "Within ten minutes, come up." ”
Zero Lu nodded, firmly grasped the Great Dao Glass Blade, and walked towards the depths of the mine step by step, this is a passage that slopes deep underground, very steep, her left hand ignited a cloud of divine light, to illuminate the front, in the darkness, she saw a misty cloud of evil qi floating underground towards the outside world.
She quickened her pace and quickly sank into the depths, and in front of her there appeared a lot of broken boulders, which had fallen when the mountain collapsed, and had been corroded like tofu slag, and she kicked them to pieces. She continued to explore along the mine road, and when she descended to a depth of 100 meters underground, the evil aura suddenly intensified, and the red fog everywhere surrounded her like water, and the road in front of her was almost unclear, and the avenue glass also made a buzzing sound, and the three-meter vacuum zone opened up for her was quickly suppressed, and only one meter was left in the blink of an eye.
She's been down for about five minutes, and she should have turned back at this point, in case the Great Dao Glass fails, she will instantly corrode into dry bones, and then turn into a pool of blood and mud. In the end, she decided to continue descending, and after descending another hundred meters, the isolation function of the avenue glass was almost gone, and the evil qi almost stuck to her clothes, and the corners of her clothes that were accidentally exposed quickly carbonized, as if they had been burned by flames, but she had already come to the deepest part of the mine, and something new appeared in front of her.
"That's?" Her eyes froze, and at the end of the mine there was a huge black pit, which was vertical, leading directly to the ground, and she looked at the endless darkness, but she had the illusion that the darkness in front of her did not seem to be static, as if there was a huge and incomparably large thing slowly wriggling.
This pit is very much like an outlet, all the evil qi comes from here, standing in front of it, so that Ling Lu is very uncomfortable, seeing that ten minutes have passed, she hesitated again and again, and decided to strike a blow and then go, casting a thunder method that has not been used for a long time, and five thunders descended into the world.
I saw her bite the glass blade in her mouth, her hands kept changing and pinching, and the surging divine power light burned between her fingers, and with the change of her fingerprints, the divine light around her body began to slowly turn purple, and there was a snake-like arc flashing constantly, and an invisible qi swept away from her body, and even affected the flow of evil qi, and her hair danced without wind.
"The first form of the five thunders, Puzhao!"
Zero Lu silently recited the move, condensed a shining and dazzling thunderball in her hand, its internal purple electricity was surging, containing violent power, she slammed on the ground, and shot fiercely towards the depths of the mine, the thunderball was like an arrow, and it shot quickly into the depths of the darkness, but it did not reach the bottom of the pit at all, it was damaged by the evil qi, and exploded like fireworks, but this time, it briefly illuminated the situation in the pit.
With a shock of her pupils, she quickly turned around and ran, using all her spiritual power to protect her body, and the whole person rushed out, and it only took fifteen seconds for her to quickly rush out of the ground and return to the ground. She quickly detached herself from the confines of the mine's entrance.
"Roaring ......"
There was an inexplicable roar from the underground mine, thick and muffled like a cow's bark. Jiang Chengcheng and Zhang Nan's faces changed at the same time, but Liu Mingde was not nervous, and explained: "Sect Master Jiang doesn't need to be nervous, the underground structure is complex, and many cavities will be formed between the rocks, and the air flow will make this sound like a cow's roar, and the ancients also called this sound as the ground cow turning over." ”
Jiang Chengyun hurriedly checked Ling Lu's body and found that only some of the corners of his clothes were damaged, and there was no major problem on his body, so he was relieved. Liu Mingde came up and asked, "Miss Linglu, is there something going on underground?" ”
Ling Lu had a cold face and did not answer, Jiang Chengyun thought for a while and said, "Xiao Liu is not an outsider, you can rest assured." ”
Then she spoke: "At the end of the mine, there is a deep pit that leads to the depths of the leyline, and in it, I saw a huge black snake, about five zhang thick, and the length can stretch across the entire underground tunnel. ”
"That should be the snake vein that the Great Elder said, I can't imagine that it has already condensed and formed." Liu Mingde's face was happy, if even the underground ore was condensed into a snake shape, it is estimated that there must be treasures inside.
Ling Lu shook his head and said solemnly: "I think you misunderstood what I meant, I didn't mean a stone snake, it was a giant snake, it showed signs of wriggling." ”
Liu Mingde was stunned for a moment, and denied it repeatedly: "Impossible! ”
"Even if this snake vein is not dead, it is impossible to wriggle, if it is really a creature, something five feet thick, then it is not a snake, but a real dragon."
Jiang Chengyun also frowned and asked, "Did you really see the giant snake wriggling?" ”
Ling Lu nodded: "There are indeed signs of squirming, but it may also be a phantom illusion, I remember that before the excavation of this mountain, there was also a woman in white on the top of the mountain, maybe the two are the same thing." ”
It seems that if you want to find out the truth, you can only wait for all the evil qi to dissipate, otherwise it will be difficult to go deep into it with the Great Dao Glass Blade in hand. Jiang Chengyun asked if the whole mountain could not be blown up, so that the evil qi could quickly dissipate, Liu Mingde explained, if the explosion is not good, the mountain will collapse, and the evil qi will accumulate in the ground and cannot be discharged, and if the time comes to go to construction, it may turn a stone casually, which will cause the evil gas to gush out, and it will become a slaughtering ground full of mines.
And so it is. Liu Mingde took Jiang Chengcheng and began to walk around, this ancient Shu mine has several mountains, not like a volcano, the mountain exists independently, so this mountain has a total of three mountains, the main peak is currently dug, and there are two small hills in the north and south, they climbed the small hill in the south, looking at the main peak that was blown up by the previous businessman, it is rumored that there was a golden light here, shining in the world, and then there was a woman in white playing the flute across the sky.
Jiang Chengcheng looked at the dilapidated mountain, where a big pit was blown out, since then there is no golden wonder, but through its pit, you can still imagine the magnificence of the mountain when it is complete, this mountain is really like the small Mount Tai, although it is not high, but the mountain is majestic, the position of the mountain has cliffs and mountains, there are ancient pines standing still, although it is destroyed, but can not cover up its extraordinary atmosphere.
"Sect Master Jiang, now that I've arrived at the mine, I have to talk to you about some things." Liu Mingde sighed and said, "Although this mine was bought by our sect, Gu Shu is close to the border region after all, and our sect is not the only one active here, so it is inevitable that some robberies will happen." A month ago, the workers had dug up thirty grams of spirit stones, but because our group of monks were not there, they were snatched by those people, and more than a dozen workers were injured. ”
"Why didn't you say anything like that yesterday?"
"On the first day of the new official's appointment, he generally doesn't talk about the difficulties of the sect." Liu Mingde said on his lips, but he slandered in his heart, last night Jiang Chengcheng was like a bully, he turned around and left after announcing the three orders, and he didn't give him a chance to say it.
"Who did that?" Jiang Chengcheng asked, "Do you have any information?" ”
"Those people were wearing hoods and didn't have a registration number when they robbed, but if you guessed correctly, it should have been done by someone from the Dongxu Mansion." Liu Mingde explained, "The Great Elder had felt the unique mana attribute of his sect on the construction site. ”
"Then why don't you snatch it back?" Jiang Chengyun wondered, the sects of the Heavenly Machine Hunting City are all over the country and have huge power, is it possible that they are still afraid of this so-called Cave Ruins Mansion?
"First, there is no evidence, and second, there are seven Qi refining stage masters in the Dongxu Mansion, and they can't win at all with the existing strength of Shumen."
Liu Mingde reluctantly explained, in this kind of border area, there is no so-called territorial division, this is the public area of all sects, who wants to make benefits, it is bigger than a fist, this kind of small friction is frequent, it is impossible for the headquarters to send many masters to come, otherwise it is a violation of the rules and will be besieged by many sects.
I see, Jiang Chengyun nodded and continued to ask, "Are there any other sect forces around here?" ”
"Yes, but the other sects are very far away, like the Taixuanmen and the Lonely Cang Cave, which are all active hundreds of miles away."
After understanding these situations, Jiang Chengyun inevitably had a big head, no wonder they all said that the sect master was difficult, not only internal worries, but also external troubles, and these things were difficult to deal with, so he could only deal with the spirit stone first, and after getting a large amount of money, he could improve the overall strength of the sect to deal with it. A few people had nothing to do, so they let Liu Mingde continue to walk around the mining area, during which there was also a blasting, the workers buried the explosives in the cave drilled in advance, and then ignited, so that the explosion power can be multiplied geometrically, only to hear a loud bang, a layer of mountain skin has been overturned, and it is also mixed with countless boulders, this is a real landslide, many workers are hiding behind another mountain, and they only come out after the smoke clears.
Jiang Chengcheng stayed at the construction site for a day, and before leaving, he decided to leave Zhang Nan at the construction site and let him be a team leader of the workers.
"It's also a good place to exercise, you don't have to use a forklift, you have to use your physical strength to carry rocks." Jiang Chengyun patted him on the shoulder and said, "If you feel that it is hard, you can not participate in the labor, you can just inspect and supervise the work every day." ”
Who knew the excitement on Zhang Nan's face, and said: "No, I'm just here, so many boulders, this is the perfect place to exercise." ”
With that, he strode forward, aimed at a boulder that was more than a man high, grabbed it with his bare hands, raised it above his head, cheered himself up with a soft shout, and then walked to the minecart that was transporting the material, and put the boulder on it. Jiang Chengcheng smiled with satisfaction and advised: "You have to listen to the opinions of the old miners, and pay attention to safety when blasting." ”
"Okay, no problem." Zhang Nan aimed at a boulder again, and walked over again as he spoke. Last time in the laboratory on the outskirts of Jiangbei City, he only fought against Jiang Chengcheng for three days, and he increased his strength by more than 100 catties.
It was not early, Liu Mingde took Jiang Chengyun and Linglu to prepare to return to the base, they re-climbed the mountain beam and got on the off-road vehicle, Liu Mingde had a bad feeling in his heart, he originally intended to let Jiang Chengcheng see the horror of the ancient Shu mine, who knew that he missed a hand, this time, he will definitely take all the spirit stones in the warehouse.
"Sect Master, let's smoke a cigarette." He handed Jiang Chengcheng a cigarette, and the two of them lit it slowly, silently swallowing the clouds and spitting out the fog, the car was silent, the sky was getting dark, and the eyes of the two men were very bright, thinking about their own things. Linglu got out of the car and silently looked at the bright moon in the sky, there were many birds and beasts in the barren mountains, and bats crossed the sky from time to time.
"Sect Master Jiang really wants to be stubborn?"
"Do you want me to swear blood again?"
Liu Mingde's heart was extremely hesitant, these spirit stones were all his family resources, if he bet on this hairy boy, he would go bankrupt if he lost the bet, but he was the sect master and had the power to mobilize the resources of the sect. And there is a treasure on his body that can go deep into the depths of the mine full of evil energy, he looked at Jiang Chengyun with a complicated expression, maybe this person can really change Shumen.....
In the end, he gritted his teeth and decided: "Okay, thirty-five catties of spirit stones, I will personally deliver them to your room tonight." ”
The car started again, they returned to the white building of Shumen, at about ten o'clock in the evening, he knocked on Jiang Chengyun's door, held an iron box, put it on the floor without saying a word, and then said in a deep voice: "Sect Master Jiang, this is the accumulation of three generations of my Liu family, if it is really lost, I think someone will ignore the rules of the sect, and will play with you!" ”
Jiang Chengyun pushed open the iron box, and there was a pink light blooming inside, very bright, more dazzling than gold, and there were countless large and small spirit stones lying quietly in the box, some were comparable to a baby's fist, and some were only the size of a broken diamond, they gathered together, exuding a strong vitality, making people feel like a spring breeze, this is the spirit stone, which stores a large amount of spiritual power, which is the crystallization of the essence of heaven and earth, and only needs a small ten grams, which is enough for a master of the Qi refining period to replenish all the divine power and restore complete combat ability.
