Xue Gu stayed for lunch, Tian saw that he was dressed brightly, and he had some valuable things on horseback, thinking that he was a rich little master, so he kept circling him, and even kept asking him who he was from Yinghe Mansion, which family's son, etc. However, although Xue Gu is young and looks like he is walking the rivers and lakes for the first time, his vigilance is not low, Ren Tian asked him when he saw the sky, he only lowered his head to eat and find some crooked questions to fool around. After Tang Lichuan ran forward and ran alone, he saw that the old gentleman had been sitting in the window position, and he was worried that he was worried that the ghost devouring group would go and return, thinking about how to save his life. Tang Lichuan looked for an opportunity and walked over and asked him if he wanted to rest in the room.

This old gentleman is also strange, his face is dark, his eyes are deep, and he looks sleepy, but he still laughs at Tang Lichuan, saying that young people have a bright future. Tang Lichuan was also unclear and asked him why. The old gentleman lowered his voice and said, "The old man saw the movements of the little brother last night. Even if you haven't studied art, the old man can still see the trick you use a rolling pin to beat people. ”

Tang Lichuan smiled shyly and said, "I used to see others make a move, and this move is called ......."

"The phoenix wears Danyang. The old gentleman smiled at him again as he spoke, and said, "It is really tangible but not substantial, this is the sword technique of the Fengxian Sect of Wucheng Mansion." ”

Tang Lichuan nodded and said, "The younger generation doesn't quite understand, but I thought about it and made a stick out of my hand, which made the old gentleman laugh." ”

The old gentleman said that it was okay, and no one from the Phoenix Immortal Sect saw it here, and their door rules were not strict enough to allow others to learn sword moves. So Tang Lichuan asked him his name, and the old gentleman smiled mysteriously and lowered his head and said to him: "Old man, my name is real wine, and I ask the little brother to keep it a secret!"

Tang Lichuan paused for a moment in his head before he remembered, isn't the real wine the palace master who has been in charge of the real power for more than 20 years in the Zhengfa Palace? Is it the same name or himself? He was thinking so, but the old gentleman who claimed to be the "real wine" suddenly lowered his body and pointed out the window, and whispered to Tang Lichuan: "If those people are looking for me, they will say that I left one day earlier." ”

Tang Lichuan looked up and looked out, only to see that there were indeed a few people outside. At the head was a black-robed man with a sword hanging from his waist, long arms, and steady and vigorous footwork. He was followed by a slightly shorter man and several strong men as they approached the inn. Tang Lichuan lowered his head to ask if those people were with the ghost swallower last night, but the old gentleman's whereabouts were gone. He turned to the door of the inn, and was met by the men who wanted to come in and order something to eat, when a girl greeted him with a smile before he could go away.

Although these people looked fierce, they were quiet, and the man with the sword at the head asked the old gentleman about it after ordering his food. The girl said that there were more guests in recent days, and she may have seen it, but where do you remember. It's just that there was some trouble last night, and I don't know what the fight was for, so they didn't dare to approach, and I don't know if it was the person they were looking for. I never mentioned the old gentleman.

When Tang Lichuan went to the backyard to look for the old gentleman, he was stopped by Tian Jiantian and asked him why he was panicking. As soon as Tang Lichuan said that someone in the front store was looking for trouble with the old man, Tian Jiantian shook his head and said, "I think those people are from official families." Why don't you get drunk with him?"

Tang Lichuan was surprised, and asked rhetorically: "How can Brother Tian say that the old gentleman is real wine?"

Tian Jiantian held his chin and said that he had seen real wine when he was young, and if it weren't for the long time, he wouldn't have thought about it for so long before he remembered it. It was the Ghost Devourer who was looking for trouble for him last night, but today it is the official family, which is a little strange.

Tang Lichuan nodded yes, and asked where those people looked like officials. When Tian saw the sky, he said: "Boots! Don't think it's just a pair of boots, you see that the waist of the boots has a gold buckle commonly used by the officers and soldiers of Tiancheng, I have seen it before." And the belt with the sword, the ornament is also the same as the officers and soldiers of Tiancheng, if you are not from an official family, can you be from a martial arts background?"

Hearing what he said, Tang Lichuan believed it. When the people had eaten and left, the real wine appeared next to the stable, apparently wanting to leave. Tian Jiantian said that he wanted to find a good job for his younger brother, so he went up to stop the real wine, and asked with a smile and implicitly, where is the old gentleman.

I didn't look at the real wine, but said, "I've stayed a little longer, and it's time to leave." Seeing that Tian was tightly entangled, he said, "The old man doesn't owe money for wine, does he?"

Tang Lichuan was really afraid that Tian would see the sky again, so he squeezed over to help untie the horse rope and lead it outside. Tian Jiantian stopped him and said, "Mr. looks unwell, where are you going? Do you want to hire a little attendant? Let's talk about the salary! You can eat some......

Tang Lichuan listened and turned around and said, "Brother Tian, don't beat the old man's idea." ”

Tian Jiantian waved at him and told him not to talk too much, and asked with a smile what the real wine meant. The real wine suddenly said, "That's a good proposal!"

Tang Lichuan didn't know whether to say that this matter was good or bad, in short, he didn't have time or room to speak at all, so he was put on a big hat by Tian Jiantian. If it was the palace master of the Zhengfa Palace, there was probably no need for a follower like him, right? Although he was confused and even a little nervous, he still traveled with real wine. In the words of real sake, young people should take care of the older generation.

However, Tang Lichuan didn't know the road after Yanliang, so he inexplicably followed the real wine around and went to [Luanzhou].

South of the flower capital of the old dynasty, Luanzhou. Although it has been returned to the territory of the Wu Dynasty, its name has not changed. It's just that there are many checkpoints on the way back and forth, which is very complicated. According to legend, the reason why Emperor Chengwu wanted to capture Luanzhou was because there was [Qingshuitang] in the south of Luanzhou, and there were three silver mines. However, only a year after Luanzhou was captured, the three silver mines were emptied, and the million taels of silver that were supposed to be paid tribute were also missing.

Three hundred years ago, the highest output of silver ore was in the cloud region at that time, and even the highest output was only 400,000 taels per year. The cloud region is also rich in gold mines. At that time, the most famous woman in the cloud region was a woman, known as the "Queen of the Clouds" in history, this Queen of the Clouds was actually the sister of the ruling empress, and her title was [Princess Longzhen]. During her lifetime, she has been committed to the mining and smelting of gold in the clouds. But it wasn't until the sixth year of her death that two new high-quality gold mines were discovered in the clouds.

Over the next 40 years, most of the old dynasties quickly became the country with the highest gold and silver production. In the following 100 years, the silver smelting content of most of the capital also became the basic standard of silver money between currencies of various countries. In the 50 years before the establishment of the Wu Dynasty, the annual output of silver smelting in the highest silver mines in Dadu had risen to 4 million. However, during this period of time, the iron ore and jade ore in the cloud region were also mined one after another, and the amount was considerable, and the scenery was for a while.

Tang Lichuan ran for half an hour before he found a farmer's house in the small mountain outside Luanzhou, and he exchanged two copper coins for three corn buns and took them back to pay the errand. When he realized that he was not going to the Dharma Palace, he was already near the Qingshui Pond.

A section of the road to Tsing Shui Pond was artificially blown into a piece of rubble, because it had been abandoned for a long time, and tenacious weeds grew between the rubble. The Qingshui Pond originally had a pond of more than 20 acres, but there was only more than one acre left, which looked lifeless. Standing on the edge of the scattered stone pile, Mashu looked down and said to himself, "Even if the annual tribute is already millions, it can't fill the greed. "It is because the current Emperor Chengwu also spread his wings for the silver mines of the whole country to go to various provinces to investigate the affairs of the ore veins.

There are a few wooden houses on the edge of the green pond, which look dilapidated. But as night fell, lights could be seen inside the hut and some figures flickering. The real sake went around the path and walked up a slope with overgrown weeds on the side. Tang Lichuan followed behind, but gradually smelled some blood.

"Someone. He shouted.

Masaka glanced at the wooden house in the distance, and then stood up from the grass two feet in front of him. The man said, "You're finally here." Why did you bring someone with you?"

It was a low-headed, odd-voiced man with a worn straw hat, dressed in shabby clothes, and with what appeared to be a sword weapon hanging from his waist. The sky was a little dark, and Tang Lichuan couldn't see clearly. But listening to that tone, he could probably guess that the reason why the real wine came here was because of an appointment with this person.

"Yes!" said the real wine helplessly: "Life is like this, unexpected!"

The other party didn't say much, just bent down and picked up a bag from the ground and threw it to the real wine, telling him to change it. After that, he turned to look at the wooden house and said, "There was a scuffle just now, and you can smell blood." ”

Zhenjiu put on the shabby clothes he had given him, sneezed several times, and asked absentmindedly, "Who is it?"

"I don't know, but the garrison of the silver mine has changed hands. Oh, my surname is Xue, Xue Yin. ”

"Oh? Cain is not hidden, most of the reason why he appeared in the rivers and lakes, right?"

Being said by the real wine, Xue Yin turned his head and stared at him and said, "Life is like this, full of accidents!"

After listening to the real wine, he laughed, and then introduced Tang Lichuan to him. It's just that Xue Yin seems to be meaningless to people other than real wine, and he doesn't pay attention to it.

"Today they have a feng shui master who is coming into the old mine, and the people in the wooden house have not seen the feng shui master yet. Later, we will go in and get the key to the mine, senior, you play the role of a feng shui master, me and Tang Lichuan, the two of us are apprentices, understand?"

Tang Lichuan nodded a little confusedly.

There were only seven people in the cabin, all seven of whom were tall men. The person named Xue Yin went to knock on the door, but although Tang Lichuan was behind, he smelled a strong smell of blood. Then someone opened the door, and in addition to the fishy smell, there was a strong smell of alcohol. A mighty man stood at the door and asked them angrily what they were doing. Tang Lichuan unintentionally saw that the belt around this person's waist was quite similar to the people he saw during the day, so he looked down again to see the boots of those people, but he felt that it was not.

Xue Yin smiled awkwardly, and reported his name, which was naturally made up temporarily, and said that he was a feng shui master who had made an appointment a while ago and wanted to come here to inspect the mine. The real wine also pretended to smile, and when he looked up, he could see several bloody corpses in the corners of the room, as if he hadn't seen them.
