The Pingshi vein is located in the south of Xicheng, not far, but not very close, and finally the city lord agreed to accompany Su Jiu to take a look the next day. The stone spirit is really not dangerous now, so it doesn't hurt to take her to see it.

That night, the two of them were sleeping in the city lord's mansion.

It was late at night, Yun Huanling slowly opened his eyes, quietly took out the compass, and hung Senior Brother Tian's storage bracelet on the array plate again, only to see what he was muttering in his mouth, and the pointer on the Jiuqu compass began to rotate wildly until the pointer was fixed in the south.

Thinking of what the city lord said during the day, Yun Huanling couldn't help but feel sad when he looked at the bracelet. The compass told him that the location of Senior Brother Tian's bones was exactly the south. That is, the Pingshi vein.

If this is not a coincidence, Senior Brother Tian would have died at the hands of that stone spirit.

Yun Huanling's eyes darkened, no matter what, he had to take Senior Brother Tian's bones back to the sect.

At the same time, Su Jiu did not meditate, she took out the black stone that she had auctioned from the auction house during the day. Tried to use the aura to probe into this stone, but Su Jiu looked at it and saw that it was still an ordinary stone.

The corners of her mouth twitched, and just as she was about to throw the stone back into the storage ring, the buds that were longer than her knew the sea began to shake again.

Su Jiu used his divine sense to transmit the voice, "It's useless for you to tremble, my sea of knowledge is not a storage space, and there is no way to send things to you." ”

The bud couldn't speak, just shook the leaves, and Su Jiu felt that there was probably really no telepathy between her and it.

Seeing that Su Jiu couldn't understand its meaning for a long time, Hua Bao lost her vitality.

Su Jiu could only guess and asked tentatively, "I'll try it with my divine sense?"

Flower bud immediately refreshed.

This time Su Jiu understood.

She slowly concentrated her energy, condensed her divine consciousness, and gradually covered the black stone, allowing her divine consciousness to penetrate the black stone from all directions.

This time, it wasn't like she couldn't sense anything like she was tempted by her aura, she felt a very warm energy in the stone, slowly merging with her divine sense.

Three hours later, she slowly pulled the energy body that had fused with her divine consciousness back into the sea of consciousness.

Su Jiu closed his eyes the whole time, paying attention to the energy body, but he didn't notice that the originally black stone faded to black and became a transparent spar-like existence.

At the moment when the energy body was pulled back to Zhihai by Su Jiu, the bud sensed it, and the bud immediately emitted a chilling fragrance, and the energy body gradually melted into this fragrance.

Half an hour later, the color of the bud became a little brighter, and the cyan of its tail faded a little, turning to silver, which was not as silver as mercury, but had a sense of transparency, which was probably closer to the silver wrap that describes ice and snow.

In addition to the flower buds, Su Jiu felt that his divine sense seemed to have improved significantly, and the sea of consciousness had also become clearer.

What she didn't notice was that the sea of qi in her dantian had also faded a little blue, and had become a little more white than ice and snow.

Su Jiu woke up, opened his hand, and fifteen ice spikes appeared on his palm, standing upright, looking beautiful and dangerous.

The cultivation in the early stage of foundation building was completely solidified because of a stone. Ironically, she didn't know what that stone was yet. Thinking of the half-silver and half-green buds, Su Jiu pondered slightly, and he didn't know if he could speak after the flowers bloomed.

It's all about guessing, but it's too much trouble.

At the same time, in the Heavenly Machine Sect, an old man stomped his feet angrily, "I'll just say that she is a demon star! Look at the fate star that should have fallen, because it suddenly lit up again, it seems that this posture can live for a thousand years." ”

The young man next to the old man shook his fan, "You are always so irritable, maybe he should not die." ”

......

If you want to say that Xicheng is the most famous, it is the Pingshi vein.

Many people make a living from the Pingshi vein, but since the Pingshi vein began to have frequent accidents, there are many fewer people who appear here, mainly because it is too dangerous.

After all, no matter how good the spirit stone is, it is not as important as life.

The Pingshi vein is very large, and if it is only dug by manpower, I am afraid that it will take thousands of years. In front of the vein, there is a door, and in front of the door there are four guards.

Zhou Jin told her that she would only be allowed to come here to dig up the screen stone if she got the permission seal of the City Lord's Mansion. This is to prevent outsiders from wantonly digging up the property belonging to Xicheng, and also to provide a guarantee for the survival of the people of Xicheng.

Su Jiu couldn't help but think of the little boy he met when he first entered Xicheng, his father seemed to make a living by digging ping stones, but later the little boy said that his father was bitten to death by a demon beast, and Su Jiu began to doubt this sentence.

I have to say that judging from the time of the appearance of the stone spirit and the time of the death of the little boy's father, the time is too coincidental, but the little boy doesn't need to lie to her, it can only mean that someone lied to him.

A few people guarding the gate saw that the city lord's mansion had brought people and let them go directly. Zhou Jin took the lead and walked in, and then Zhou Qingshu and Yun Huanling also followed, and when it was Su Jiu's turn, she stopped.

"It is said that you first discovered the death of a person in the Pingshi vein three years ago?"

When Su Jiu said this, the three people in front of him also stopped, and Yun Huanling listened a little more seriously than everyone else, as if he had something on his mind.

The gatekeeper apparently did not expect the young girl to ask such a question, and he replied, "Yes." ”

Su Jiu's eyes darkened, "That... What you said and did to the families of those who died? ”

Sweat stains had gradually begun to appear on the gatekeeper's forehead, and he secretly glanced at the city lord who was standing not far away, and whispered with a little weakness, "Just tell them the truth, pay some spirit stones, and help the deceased settle their families." ”

Su Jiu's pupils were as black as ink at this time, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth gradually flattened, "Is it..."

Immediately, Su Jiu looked at the city lord, "But what you said is different from what I saw." ”

"The day I first came to Xicheng, the first place I went to was the slums, and I saw that the families of the deceased lived in houses made of grass, and I didn't know how many would freeze to death after the winter. A little boy told me that his father had been bitten to death by a monster. ”

Speaking of this, Su Jiu smiled, "This is what you are talking about, is this what you are talking about?"

Zhou Jin also reacted at this time, usually he would hardly manage these things, because there would be a special steward, and he would come to the City Lord's Mansion to receive the spirit stones, he thought that these spirit stones were in the hands of those poor people, but he didn't expect to be greedy by these people?

"Call your stewards. Zhou Jin said to the janitor.

And the steward didn't know that the city lord had woken up at this time, he thought it was the acting city lord, and he pursed his lips disdainfully when he thought of the acting city lord, but he still felt that the acting city lord was much better than the city lord, because he could be honest and greedy, and the acting city lord didn't care about these little things at all, it was just a straw bag, basically he wanted to give as much as he wanted, and the reason didn't need to be too complicated, he could deceive the spirit stone.

"The lord of the city, please come over and ask questions. ”

The steward rolled his eyes with a pair of rat eyes, come to him, come to him, he can deliberately sell miserably, saying that the spirit stone is not enough to subsidize the families of the deceased, and continue to deceive.

It's just that he was dumbfounded when he passed, why didn't anyone tell him why the city lord woke up.

The city lord looked lightly at the somewhat obese steward whose body had already been raised, "Bring me the account book of the Pingshi vein." ”

The steward's face froze. Zhou Jin has never checked the account books for decades, resulting in the fake accounts he made at the beginning have long been abandoned, and he would never have thought that the first thing Zhou Jin would do when he woke up was to check the accounts.

The steward rolled his eyes in a bit of a panic, trying to stabilize his mentality.

Zhou Jin didn't need him to answer, and commanded his son, "Take a few people to his room to find the account book." ”

This time, the steward was completely frightened, and a lot of his things were piled up in the room, if this was searched...

The steward wriggled his fat body and threw himself at Zhou Jin's feet, howling dryly, "City Lord, what did I do wrong?"

Zhou Jin looked at him coldly, "What did you do wrong, you will soon know." ”

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Zhou Qingshu to take a few people to search for the account book and a large number of spirit stones in the steward's room.

When the steward saw the account book and the things found out of the house, he wanted to defend himself, but he was muted by Zhou Jin.

Zhou Jin was a little tired, "Qingshu, you look at the account book, compare it, and send the spirit stone to the families of the deceased, from today on, the Pingshi vein will be taken over by you." ”

The steward was taken down, but when he was taken down, there was still a deep unwillingness on his face.

Su Jiu thought, with these spirit stones, maybe the mother and son would have a better life in the future. 2k reading web
