Half a month later, in the middle of the Xijiao Mountains in the territory of Huang Shengzong's vassal state "Nanliang", three transport ships were shuttling through the clouds and mist, two large and one small, with the scorching sun on the head, and three stood side by side on the edge of the ship under the scorching sun and chatted.

One is a long-faced Taoist person, who is Shangguan Ming, the chief steward of Beiluan City, and the other two are tall and burly, strong as oxen, and they are members of the Tuoba family of the royal family of Nanliang Kingdom.

"Brother Shangguan, I heard that the "Hong Pharaoh Monk" has led people to the "Northern Jin Dynasty", I don't know if it's true or not?" asked worriedly, with a beard on his face and eyes like copper bells.

Shangguan Ming nodded silently, and replied with a solemn face: "We have arrived at the border of the "Northern Jin Dynasty" this morning, and there is not much time left for us. ”

Huang Shengzong's main force withdrawn from Woma Lake rushed to Anyang City, the capital of the Shang Kingdom, and waited in Anyang City for the 2,000 disciples who had withdrawn from the northern line and led by the sect master "Shengyi Zhenren" to come to rendezvous.

Shangguan Ming and others were ordered to rush to the "Southern Liang Kingdom" with several transport ships to assist the Tuoba family, one of the top ten families of the sect, to evacuate.

There is a large spiritual stone mine in Nanliang, located in the hinterland of the Xijiao Mountains, called Xiling Mine, which is an important mineral of Huang Shengzong and the focus of this evacuation.

This time, it is necessary to transport all the finished spirit stones mined in the mine during this period to Anyang City, and several small resource deposits, such as cold iron, spirit jade, red copper and other finished spirit ores, also need to be transported out of Nanliang Kingdom.

"Although the 'Northern Jin Dynasty' is still a few days away, this time the Tianluo Tantra is menacing, we really need to be cautious, it is better to evacuate as soon as possible!" Tuoba Shu frowned and nodded.

"Second brother, you take a boat to Banping Mountain first, load the "Spirit Iron Ingot" mined in the mine onto the ship, and then rush to the Xiling Mine to meet. Tuoba Shu thought about it, turned to Tuoba Yan on the side and said, in this way, there is no need to take a detour when evacuating, which can save a lot of time.

"Got it, big brother! Senior Brother Shangguan, Yan is going to Banping Mountain! See you tomorrow!" Tuoba Yan, who was full of meat, replied happily, and then flew to the small transport ship on the side.

Half a day later, Tuoba Yan led a small transport ship to Banping Mountain, Banping Mountain looks bare, few trees, scattered with some messy dead grass, there is a cliff in the middle of the mountain, under the cliff is a cold iron mine, a piece of wooden houses, factories are built outside the mine, large boulders, debris and so on piled up on both sides.

Below the cliff is a huge mine hole, there are miners constantly pushing various sizes of wooden carts in and out of it, from time to time there is a burst of "ding bell" knocking sound in the hole, obviously it is in full swing busy, this iron ore is rich, has been mined for nearly 100 years, can mine "pig iron", "fine iron", "cold iron" and other ores.

"Pig iron ore" can be smelted into ordinary "wrought iron" used in secular agricultural tools, swords and weapons, and the mined "refined iron ore" is also called "spiritual iron ore", which can be smelted into "refined iron ingots" after sintering and smelting, and these "refined iron ingots" are a kind of basic spiritual material for refining various magic weapons.

The least output in the mine is "cold iron ore", which is also the most valuable ore, which can smelt the semi-finished "cold iron ingot" of the rare refining tool spiritual material "cold iron", and the "refined iron ingot" and "cold iron ingot" accumulated in the mine are the purpose of Tuoba Yan's trip.

The transport ship hovered in the middle of the mine, and the miners who came and went looked up one after another, with envy in their eyes, these miners were strong and strong, most of them were martial arts practitioners, mining spiritual iron ore, but they were individual workers.

These people are hired to mine spiritual iron ore here, and the sect will not only issue a martial arts mastery for them to cultivate, but the diligent can also be rewarded with elixirs, once they recover their free body and return to the martial arts, they will be a hero.

Liu Yu's more than 20 disciples who were escorting the same path jumped off the spirit boat with Tuoba Yan, and the two Tuoba family foundation building early stage monks stationed in the mine cave with more than 40 guard disciples had already gathered and waited aside, and as soon as everyone landed, they warmly greeted them.

"Brother Yan, it's you! Come and follow the little brother to the house to drink tea and have a good rest!" said a round fat Taoist happily.

"Hah, Brother Pastor, I won't drink the tea, it's important to get down to business, are all the things ready?" the round fat Taoist was obviously someone Tuoba Yan was familiar with, and Tuoba stretched his waist and said.

"Senior Brother Yan, don't worry! The 'Spirit Iron Ingots' smelted this month have all been packed, and they can all be loaded onto the ship in a while, without delay, and after so many days, let everyone rest! Another emaciated Taoist stepped forward and said with a smile.

"Okay, then first carry the "Spirit Iron Ingot" onto the boat, and then everyone will have a good meal, eat some pasta lumps these days, and talk about a bird in their mouths!" Tuoba Yan weighed a few breaths, then waved his hand and said proudly to the disciples accompanying him.

"Uncle Shi, great!"

"Every day coarse grain pancakes, I'm going to vomit!"

"Who said no, I haven't eaten meat for many days!"

In the past half a month, in order to rush back to the sect, there has been little rest, and I have been flying by boat, and I don't know how many meals of coarse grain pancakes I have eaten.

"Senior Brother Yan, wait here for a while, and Senior Brother will take someone to the warehouse. After the emaciated Taoist finished speaking, he led a group of mine guard disciples to the entrance of the huge mine cave at the cliff, and it was obvious that the warehouse was located in the mine.

After a while, these people walked out of the mine with a large silver box in pairs, a total of more than 20 boxes, and moved them one by one to the transport ship hovering in the middle of the air.

The "Spirit Mustard Box" is the same as the storage bag carried by the cultivator, all of which are storage instruments, but it is much larger than the storage bag, about the size of a chamber, and is generally used to transport a large number of goods, one box can store a lot of things, and the transport ship will generally prepare a lot of "Spirit Mustard Box".

"How many boxes of 'cold iron ingots'?" Tuoba Yan patted his cousin Tuoba Mu on the side and asked.

"There are only two boxes, and the others are "fine iron ingots", and the mine has been dug to the ground for nearly a thousand zhang, and the output has been decreasing in recent years. Tuoba Mu sighed and said, the mine has been digging for nearly a hundred years, the ground has long been hollowed out, the pit is full of twists and turns, forks and turns, like an ant nest, the new miners are not familiar with it, they can get lost.

"Senior Brother Liu, how many spirit stones are you saying such a box of "cold iron" is worth!" Liu Yu, a young sect disciple, said sourly.

"If this box is full of 'cold iron', as long as the quality is not too bad, it is worth tens of millions of low-grade spirit stones. Although Liu Yu didn't reply, he still couldn't help but think in his heart.

In fact, both of them thought badly, the "cold iron ingots" smelted in the mine were only semi-finished products, and when they were used to refine magic weapons, they needed to be refined again. But even so, the price of a box of "Cold Iron Ingots" is at least millions of low-grade spirit stones.

"Alert!" Just as Liu Yu was thinking blindly, Tuoba Yan's thick eyebrows curled, his face changed suddenly, and he shouted violently.

"Brother Yan, what's wrong?" Tuoba Mu on the side, his face trembled slightly, and he hurriedly asked.

At this time, two black clouds appeared in the sky, and they were drifting towards the mine at a high speed, and they saw that these black clouds were actually two flat spirit ships, with slender bodies and inky black.

The speed of the two ink-black spirit ships was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they flew over the mine, and from the spirit ships they streamed down, stringing out dozens of people, all of whom were in black robes and wearing demon masks on their faces, and they knew at a glance that they were the wicked people of the Reincarnation Palace.

The three leaders are three, one is a bald man, holding a ghost-headed thick-backed knife in one hand, and two are graceful women, one of whom holds a poisonous snake whip and one holds a green mang's sword.
