Dongyuan Realm, Seventh Prefecture, Xundi.

One of the mineral veins was listed as a forbidden place by King Cang, but it suppressed the news, and even the Great Chu Bachelor's Mansion did not notice it.

However, this forbidden land is listed in the veins developed by Zhuang's firm.

King Cang acquiesced in this?

Or is it something else?

"Is that an iron mine?" Zhuang Ming asked.

"An ordinary iron mine. Bai Qing said: "There was nothing unusual before, and it was normal." ”

"But something so unusual was born. Zhuang Ming stood with his hands in his hands, said in a deep voice: "The Great Chu Dynasty may not know about this place, but King Cang does. ”

In the Dongsheng Dynasty, salt and iron were extremely important, so at first, they were all run by officials, and later for various reasons, commercial houses were allowed to get involved in the salt business, but iron ore has always been tightly controlled.

However, for the Great Chu Dynasty, gold and silver must be strictly controlled, but the flow of copper and iron is not strictly controlled, only such as iron essence, copper and other things, or can be refined magic treasures, it is extremely strictly controlled.

This iron mine is no more ordinary, and it has not been included in the prohibited categories of Dachu.

But King Cang had already marked such a fierce place.

"This is the ore vein that I have obtained in the early years of Zhuang's firm, and I have purchased it from the government before Feng Lun was used as the palm seal of the mansion, and bought the right to mine the vein with a lot of money, and there are as many as sixteen places in the land of the three mansions. ”

Fu Lao said: "It's just that in the past, there has never been such an abnormality. ”

Bai Qing paused and said, "Maybe it's just because the people who mined the mining veins in the past and the people who guarded them never exceeded the boundaries of ordinary people, and the strongest skills of my Zhuang family's business house are only martial arts masters, and there are no gods and demons who are refined." This time, it was the drought that made me frightened and took it very seriously. ”

Zhuang Ming nodded slightly, groaning slightly, he wanted to send a message to King Cang and ask clearly.

But King Cang may not be willing to tell him.

What's more, there is no need for King Cang to inform.

Besides, if there is something, he will seek out the King of Cang to solve his doubts, and he, the disciple of the Holy Mountain, is not the personal disciple of the King of Cang.

"Childe ......" Liu He said in a low voice: "To be able to instantly injure a horizontal refining god and demon like Wen Han who has almost half a foot into the True Xuan, and make him seriously injured and dying, even if he is a great monk in the True Xuan Initial Realm, it is difficult to do it, and the power contained in that stone statue is only afraid that it has the level of a high realm True Xuan or even a supreme True Xuan." ”

"You're right. Zhuang Ming's eyes were condensed, and he responded: "You should be cautious." ”

"Do you need to go to Xundi to explore?" Bai Qing asked out loud.

"For now, it's best to explore the Xun place where the stone statue was born. Liu He replied.

"My outer incarnation has gone to Xundi. Zhuang Ming paused and said, "As for this stone statue, these are the only ones you found before?"

"Yes, in my Zhuang family's trading house, whenever the gods and demons are close to each other, they will feel frightened, but under the gods and demons, ordinary people, even martial arts masters, will not have such oppression. Bai Qing Zhengse said: "At present, the guards of the stone statues are only ordinary warriors, and the people who explore the stone statues are not cultivators, but it is precisely because of this that they have no cultivation, their vision is limited, and the way of exploration is also limited, so they can't find any traces...... The results of the investigation so far are that the material is no different from ordinary rocks, there are no traces of artificial carving, and it does not look like a real creature, just an ordinary stone statue. ”

"But after hearing about the drought, everyone knows that this stone statue is anything but ordinary. Fu Lao replied.

"When the gods and demons approached, they felt terrified and couldn't detect it, but ordinary people couldn't detect any signs, so to speak...... I can only let my cultivation of the True Xuan level go and explore it in person. Zhuang thought for a moment and said.

"But that stone statue, at least in the True Xuan Level, Gongzi personally probed it, it may not be safe, why don't I explore it first?" Liu He said.

"You are also a god and demon who is refining horizontally, and most of them will also cause the stone statue to repulse. Bai Qing reminded.

"It's okay, just a little temptation. ”

Zhuang Ming said this, and said: "Fu Lao's cultivation has not been completed, stay here, Liu He will watch and smell the drought, if he has an accident, you can calm it, Frost Ling is good at pharmacology, and he will stay here." Bai Qing...... You are familiar with the statue, so go with me. ”

Bai Qing was busy responding.

Zhuang Ming said: "Let's leave today, you go and clean up." ”

Bai Qing immediately said hello.

——

Half an hour later.

Zhuang's firm prepared a carriage.

Bai Qing drove the horse, and Zhuang Ming sat inside.

"These two horses are extremely rare treasure horses in the Eastern Yuan Realm, very spiritual, and they are rumored to be the bloodline of the Great Demon, and they are also the best horses in our trading house. ”

Bai Qing said this, and said: "At that time, it cost a lot of money to buy, but now it seems that after all, it is still a mortal horse, for the prince, if he can submit a demon king as a mount, he can be regarded as worthy of the identity." ”

Zhuang Ming said flatly: "Don't pat yourself on the back, it's time to leave." ”

Bai Qing immediately answered yes and rode away.

But before the carriage left the ten miles, Bai Qing could hear Bai Qing's voice.

"Childe, in fact, these days, I still have a guess, but I always feel that this guess is a bit ridiculous, and it is not good to say much in public, so as not to laugh and be generous, but in front of Childe, Bai Qing has no scruples. ”

"What are your guesses?" Zhuang Ming asked.

"That stone statue, when it meets a person above the boundary of the mundane, has great power and oppression. Bai Qing said in a deep voice: "In my business house, everyone who refines the body of gods and demons feels frightened, but under the gods and demons, they don't feel too much power. I originally guessed that it should be a force beyond the boundaries of the mundane that triggered the vigilance of the stone statue, but in the Xundi of the Seventh Mansion, could it be that no Jindan real person passed through there in all these years? If there really was a Jindan real person passing by there and being shocked by the power of the stone statue, then the reputation of this stone statue would have already spread......

"So what is your guess now?" Zhuang Ming's gaze froze slightly.

"Perhaps, it's not the power above the mundane boundary, but this stone statue is just hostile to the gods and demons of Henglian. Bai Qing's tone gradually lowered, and he whispered: "In more detail, maybe it's just the bloodline that is hostile to the true dragon. ”

"Oh?" Zhuang Ming paused, he also had such a guess, but he didn't expect it, Bai Qing also took this into account.

"Our firm has not been established in Dachu for a long time, and there are very few martial arts masters recruited, and the real people of the Jindan level are already like immortals, which is unattainable for the previous Zhuang firm, so there are no real people at the level of people. Bai Qing continued: "Now that the business house has grown and grown, there are already many powerful existences, but these brothers who are comparable to real people are all gods and demons who are refining horizontally, and they are all descendants of the dragon guard of the ancient true dragon. ”

"So you think that it is not the power above the mortal boundary that makes this stone statue feel undaring, but the body of the gods and demons, and even the bloodline of the ancient true dragon, is hostile to that stone statue?" Zhuang Ming asked.

"Bai Qing has such a guess, what does Childe think?"

"Not without reason. ”

If this is the case, Childe himself will have to be more cautious in the past. ”

"I've always been cautious. ”

Zhuang Ming said this, and he had roughly guessed the origin of this stone statue in his heart.

He had recently flipped through the library of Jusheng Mountain, and he had also roughly flipped through some of the classics that Master Bai Shengjun cared about, all of which involved ancient secrets.

This statue is supposed to be a product of antiquity, not of modern times.

"It'...... Maybe it's a living ......"
