The big man at the head turned around and shouted, calling a man named Yue Guang and asking him where the key was. The people inside shouted and shouted who knew where the keys were, and threw a string of seven or eight keys hanging from them. The man named Yue Guang looked back and asked them if there was still silver ore in the mine. Xue Yin said that he would naturally not know until after the inspection. Then Yue Guang jokingly said: When you have a silver mine, you must find a place to play. Later, I listened to the big man who handed over the key and complained disdainfully, why did he die in vain, so many people guarded an empty mine and the like, and the one called Yue Guang didn't pay attention to it, and just told him not to worry about it.

There are three entrances under the cliff directly opposite the wooden house, and all of them have been fenced. Xue Yin grabbed the key and tried it one by one, and advanced the first door. Masaka asked him if he had ever been in these abandoned mines, and he said that he hadn't been in them, but that his friends had done so. Zhenjiu asked who it was, Xue Yin glanced at him and said, "I am also the same as Yi's predecessors, and my predecessors don't need to be suspicious." ”

But the real wine said: "I was just thinking, this matter is not trivial, you are just a nameless son, why do you jump into the fire pit?"

Xue Yin glanced at him again, took a heavy breath and ignored him, only urged: "Let's go!" Then he locked the door and took out the fire. Tang Lichuan asked him why he locked the door, and he said with a heavy heart that he didn't want a person with a slasher to appear on his back. Seeing Tang Lichuan's worried face, he stared at the real wine and said, "Don't worry, with the seniors here, you will definitely be able to get out alive." ”

When the real wine looked up, he saw the oil lamp hanging on the stone wall, and then he took it down and lit it and added a sentence: "The predecessors are not immortals. ”

This mine was excavated by the officials of the old dynasty Huadu, and the wall of the cave is very smooth. The silver mine itself is more than ten zhang deep, and there are many vein holes in the interior. In the early days of silver mining in this Qingshui Pond, some people wanted to give up because they did not find the root cause, but at that time, some people persisted for two years to excavate silver ore with a silver content of less than 20 zhang. But before they could be happy, Luanzhou was broken by Emperor Chengwu. Emperor Chengwu didn't get much silver out of here, and it was stolen by unknown people. Originally, the process of silver mining, silver smelting, and silver cake casting was meticulous, and it took more time. After the silver cake was weighed, it was sealed and transported to the Heavenly City, and no one could have the ability to wash the entire silver mine.

When this incident happened, don't say how shocked Emperor Wu was, it just happened to coincide with the mutiny at Emperor Yongguan, and Emperor Wu put it aside for many years before he could ask. When Emperor Wu remembered, who had the means to start from the beginning? Zhenjiu didn't know why Xue Yin wanted to start inquiring about this matter.

And Xue Yin knew that the people sent here by Emperor Chengwu one after another a few years ago were all killed in the middle of the road. Tang Lichuan looked up, and some of the wood chips on the top of his head were already old, and they looked like they would collapse at any time. Xue Yin was in a bad mood, and scolded all the way, scolding those who robbed the silver mine that they should be arrested one by one. But the road in this mine is not easy to walk, there are a lot of gravel on the ground, large and small, and it is going down, Xue Yin wants to fall a few times after walking a few steps, so he scolds even more fiercely. Then they walked over to a blocked earthen wall. There were still rusty iron tools thrown on the ground, which were completely unusable. I had to change lanes and look for it again. Just go inside, and the oil lamp on the stone wall can still be used, so it is lit to facilitate lighting.

As soon as the light came on, the real wine was found in front of it and continued to walk forward. However, there are a few stone caves in four or five zhang, which are very open. The cave was empty with only a stone case, and in front of it there was a pile of black ash deposited, like something left behind after it had been burned. Tang Lichuan has been following the real wine, and when he saw that his predecessors were contemplative and melancholy, he looked back. I saw Xue Yin standing on the stone platform in the distance, looking at them coldly.

The light was dim, especially the bright light behind Xue Yin, who was covered in the light, and the black made people feel frightened. Tang Lichuan asked him if he felt uncomfortable, and Xue Yin said, "Do you feel that there is any voice in your ears and roaring in your heart?"

Tang Lichuan was puzzled, so he only listened to the real wine and asked him casually: "Who are you?"

"Like the people killed here, they have a blood feud!"

"Killed, heh!" said Masake, with a long sigh, "The information related to the silver mine has turned to black ash. This silver mine should have had 5,000 people at the same time at its most active time, right?"

"It's more than 9,000 people. Xue Yin said.

"So many people...... How did the silver mine suddenly disappear? They ......"

"The corpses were all thrown into the furnace of the silver smelting field!" Xue Yin said extremely indifferently, and suddenly heard Tang Lichuan's exclamation. The two of them looked back, and Zhenjiu asked, "What's wrong?" I saw Tang Lichuan sitting on the ground, frightened. And in front of him was a well seven feet wide. Xue Yin jumped off the stone platform and ran to see it, and patted his chest in fright.

Half of the bones were piled up in the well, because there were clothes on the bones, and the real wine looked at it and said that it was a worker in the silver mine.

Xue Yin patted Tang Lichuan and said kindly: "If you don't do anything that harms morality, why are you afraid of ghosts?" But after saying that, he himself turned around and folded his hands and said: "Famous uncle and big brother, I don't want to offend today, I hope you don't disturb each other." I'll go out and buy three pounds of paper money for you to burn. Amitabha Buddha ......"

The real wine asked again: "Can this silver mine be reused?"

Xue Yin groaned and said, "Is it possible that only the appraisers sent by Emperor Wu are qualified to speak, and none of them can live to tell Emperor Wu about this." When he said this, the real wine didn't seem to trust it all, he just looked back at Xue Yin, feeling that he didn't seem to have finished speaking. It's just that he knows that whether the mine is valuable or not depends on the ability of the person who smelts the silver. Then I heard Xue Yin say that on the ground to the east of the mine mouth, a year ago, there was a layer of three-foot-thick slag, from which copper and tin were said to be extracted. But today he found that there was a lot less slag in that layer.

Masaka lamented that if he wanted to take this silver mine in the fastest time, it would take a lot of people to complete the task.

Tang Lichuan looked at them, said a word, and said, "Could it be the collusion between the government and the people in the rivers and lakes?"

Xue Yin didn't answer, but Zhenjiu glanced at him and asked him why he was talking to himself. Tang Lichuan said to Dapeng Guangju, and the people who inquired about him may be people from the government. The real wine pretended to smile lightly when he heard it, and didn't say a word. Tang Lichuan looked at them and felt strange, but he didn't know how to speak for a while, and it was inconvenient to speak.

Majiu also looked at Xue Yin from time to time when inspecting the mine, and this man had always avoided being directly confronted by Masaku, as if he was not happy to let him know his true face. And he seems to have a lot to say, but probably for some reason he hasn't said it all the time. I don't know if he brought Tang Lichuan against his original intentions.

The mine was too deep for them to go too deep and left in the middle of the night. Outside, the night was dark, and a half moon hung in the sky, and the people in the wooden house opposite were silent. Xue Yin lightly went to open the lock, but because the lock was also a little rusty, it had to be repeated several times before it could be opened. Later, Zhenjiu asked him if he planned to report the matter here to the court.

Xue Yin immediately shouted when he heard this, "Do you want me to die early?" As soon as the others walked out, a cold sword fell on his eyebrows. Xue Yin couldn't help but be stunned, sighed secretly, took half a step back, and said, "Your surname?"

In front of him was a man dressed in black, but he didn't know what his face was because his back was to the moonlight. It's just that the height is average and the arms are slightly longer. Before Xue Yin could reply, he found that there were still a few people standing behind this person, and he couldn't help cursing in his heart, how could he be so unlucky, what are you afraid of!

But after hearing the real wine, he said to himself: "It's better to ask for others than to ask for yourself!" Before the words fell, Xue Yin felt that something flew behind his ear and was hitting the man holding the sword, but it turned out to be an iron lock. The man on the opposite side gently struck the broken lock back to the ground with a screeching sound. Zhenjiu took advantage of the situation to pull Xue Yin back and praised: "The young man is so handsome on the sword road!"

Xue Yin took a few steps back and said, "Old man, I didn't expect them to come to such a powerful role today." ”

Zhenjiu also smiled wildly and replied to him: "The world is unpredictable, so there are five flavors of life!"

Xue Yin looked at the man again: "You are also coming to rob the silver mine? Unfortunately, it is very empty!

In the night, I only heard a woman's voice coming, "Senior, I didn't expect you to come to see me in person." "This woman's voice is very beautiful. Xue Yin was surprised in her heart, thinking that what she was talking about might be real wine. Unexpectedly, as soon as the sword seal on his waist was loosened, Zhenjiu had already pulled out his matching sword to leap into the air, but the sword body that could be seen under the moonlight was black and shiny.

Although the sword was fast, what was even more appreciated was the light and unbiased size of the blade. Only that sword makes the opponent have no power to fight back, let alone retreat. Just heard the sound of "Ding Dang", and the opponent's sword had been cut in two. After that, I only heard the woman say something suspiciously, "Black Yan Mingfeng?"

The real wine fell back to its place, but it was fluttering like a spring breeze. Xue Yin grabbed the sword, complained that his legs and feet were too fast, and actually snatched his sword. Zhenjiu said complacently: "If your legs and feet are not happy, you will not become the soul of someone else's sword." As he spoke, he had retreated behind Xue Incognito, grabbed his arm, and said, "I think you may be good with a sword, but you are worse than the kid behind you!"

Xue Yin was unconvinced and said: "This is the reason why I never draw my sword easily! Once the sword is out, there will be nowhere to hide the flaws!"

When the real wine heard this, he laughed, drank softly, his hand tightened, and shouted: "The sword is out!" Xue Yin was still unconscious, his body was already controlled by the real wine, and the hand holding the sword waved and stabbed forward. Tang Lichuan also exclaimed in his heart! Although he was manipulating one person, his movements were brisk, and he did not see the slightest sense of burden, and his sword moves were still more than powerful. The black-clothed man's sword was broken, and although he received the real wine in time, the hand holding the sword that had been shaken was numb. The woman behind him let out a soft snort telling him to stand down.
