Chapter 048: Red Iron Ore Deposits Lead to Monkeys
Two days later, Wang Ruoli arranged Jingyang affairs, left Yu Lao to preside over the overall situation, and rushed to Luoshui Town alone.
At noon, Wang Ruoli was wearing civilian clothes, riding a horse, along the official road, and walked to a tea shed.
Wang Ruo left the journey, and his mouth was a little thirsty, so he tied his horse, squeezed in, and shared a table with the other travelers.
Although the tea shed was full of customers, there was only one Xiao Er who was busy before and after, and he obviously couldn't take care of it.
Wang Ruoli wiped his sweat, and while patiently waiting for Xiao Er to serve tea, he listened to the conversations of the travelers around him.
"Brother Lin, have you heard? someone has dug up a treasure in the Red Maple Mountain Range!"
"Treasure, what treasure? Brother Li, tell me about it!"
"I've heard that there are so many pieces of gold that they are piled up as high as several mountains!"
"So many, then there must be at least tens of millions of taels!
"Don't talk nonsense if you don't know, where is the gold, it's obviously a red iron ore!"
"Ferrite?
"You're lonely and unheard of! Red iron is a rare treasure, a material for forging spirit swords!"
"Spirit sword? That's incredible! Isn't every piece of red iron worth a thousand gold?"
"Brother Zhao, think about it, it's a spirit sword, a spirit sword!
"It's shocking! If you are lucky, you will get such a piece and a half, and you will make a fortune!"
"What you said was all news from two days ago! I heard that what was dug up was not a red iron ore, but a thousand-year-old sword mound! It stretched for dozens of miles!"
"Dozens of miles, how many spirit swords can be buried!"
"Who knows! In short, my trip is to go treasure hunting, if I am lucky and dig out a spirit sword, then I don't have to worry about the rest of my life!"
"How can it be so easy to dig, I heard that this sword mound is the mausoleum of a spiritual realm powerhouse!"
"What? The mausoleum of the spiritual realm powerhouse, isn't that full of traps and dangers!"
"What are you afraid of, there will definitely be a strong man to open the way at that time, as long as we follow behind and pick up some remaining treasures, we will be of infinite use!"
"That's right!"
“......”
Wang Ruoli drank tea, while listening to the boastful talk of the surrounding travelers, he couldn't help but think that someone should be deliberately spreading the news, but when he heard the back, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, and he had to admire the ability of the rivers and lakes to spread falsehoods, this from gold to red iron, to the sword mound, and then to the mausoleum of the spiritual realm powerhouse, and then pass it on, is it going to dig out a spiritual realm powerhouse!
"What do you know? I heard that a strong man has gone deep into the mausoleum and dug up a green pine jade coffin, which contains a thousand-year-old female corpse!"
"A thousand-year-old female corpse, is it a spiritual realm powerhouse?"
"Eighty percent of the way! I heard that it is stunningly beautiful, better than a fairy!"
"Brother Huang, is it really fake? Then I must go and see it!"
......
Wang Ruoli only felt that his throat couldn't hold back, and the sip of tea he had just drunk choked out directly, and all his brains were sprayed on the tea table.
Several travelers at the same table made a sound and dodged one after another, but the tea still happened to splash some into the tea bowl of the young man sitting opposite.
"Boy, you are looking for death!" the young man shouted angrily as he stood up angrily, and was about to draw his sword at his waist.
"Senior brother is angry, angry, he shouldn't have done it on purpose!" Fortunately, he was tightly held by a little girl next to him.
"I'm sorry! I didn't hold back for a while! I'm really embarrassed!" After all, Wang Ruoli quickly stood up to make amends, and said in a sneering manner.
"Hmph!" the young man sat down stupidly, glanced at Wang Ruoli again dissatisfiedly, and took a new tea bowl to pour tea.
Wang Ruoli sat down again, and couldn't help but take a closer look at the circle of travelers at the same table: an old man, and two men and two women.
The old man sat on his left, about sixty years old, in good spirits, and quite healthy, and the two people sitting opposite him, one was a young man who had just been angry, with a Chinese face, a tall figure, and seemed to be very powerful. The other is the little girl who helped herself out just now, she looks fourteen or fifteen years old, lively and cute, and her eyes will peek at herself a few times from time to time.
As for the man and woman sitting on the right side of the table, although the appearance of the man is clean, he looks a little wooden. And the woman has a feeling that no one is allowed to enter, and she doesn't talk much, which makes people feel very cold. Looking at the clothes of these five people, they should be from the same sect.
"Which sect is the little brother from, and how can he be alone?" the old man on the left glanced at Wang Ruoli a few times, and asked with interest.
"Back to the old man, he is not a member of the sect. Wang Ruoli replied calmly.
"Oh?" the old man was slightly surprised, glanced at Wang Ruoli again, and said lightly, "The breath on the little brother's body should be a cultivator, I don't know how many periods of cultivation it is?"
When several young men and women heard this, they looked up one after another.
"I'm fortunate to have entered the Qi training period two years ago!" Wang Ruoli didn't lie, he had indeed just entered the Qi training period two years ago.
Hearing that it was the Qi training period, several men and women lowered their heads to drink tea again, only the lively girl on the opposite side still looked at it and said happily: "Then we are the same!
Wang Ruoli responded with a slight bow, and his face was a little embarrassed.
"Hmph, it's just a qi training period!" the young man with a Chinese character face snorted coldly.
"Dare to ask Brother Tai for what period?" Wang Ruoli didn't pay attention to this kind of ridicule, just took a sip of tea and asked in a clear voice.
"Hmph! The contemptible person has entered the condensation period three years ago!" The young man with the national character face looked proud, and pointed at the cold woman and said, "My second junior sister is even better, she is already at the high level of the condensation period at the age of nineteen, and she is expected to break through the qi cultivation period before the age of twenty!"
"Awesome! I admire it very much!" Wang Ruoli said with a humble compliment on his face.
The disciples can have such a level, it seems that this sect is in Jingxiang Kingdom, and it can barely be regarded as a midstream grade.
It's just that the woman is still holding the tea bowl and sipping lightly, her eyelids are not raised, and she doesn't seem to hear the conversation between the two.
At this time, a traveler at the side table noticed the old man here, and leaned over with excitement on his face: "Dare to ask this gentleman, but is the foundation building master of the Mianjiang Sword Sect, the fifth elder Shen Jingong?"
"Exactly!" Shen Jingong stood up and replied with a salute, "Your Excellency?"
"I have admired the name for a long time!" the visitor happily introduced himself as if he had met a confidant, "Qin Dazhi is the 'Flying Owl' under the 'Flying Eagle'! Today, I am really fortunate to meet Elder Shen!"
"Where, where!" Shen Jingong said humbly.
......
After Wang Ruoli finished drinking the tea, he stood up at the moment and said, "After drinking the tea, let's hurry first, everyone, there will be a period later!" After speaking, he stepped on the horse and galloped out.
"That's right!" the lively girl seemed to react, and trotted out and shouted, "Little brother, what's your name?"
It's a pity that the king is galloping away from the horse, and he is gone.
The lively girl returned to the tea table with a slight disappointment, and the young man with the Chinese character face next to her retorted: "Wen Jing, it's not that I want to talk about you, that kid is just handsome, born whiter, eighteen or nineteen years old before practicing qi, even you are not as good, at first glance it is a silver gun wax head, and it is useless!"
"Hmph! I want you to take care of it!" the lively girl snorted.
"Don't say a word, we come out on this trip, mainly to experience!" Shen Jingong held the tea bowl and said heavily, "This trip to the Red Maple Mountain Range, there are many people and disputes, everyone must not be greedy for merit, everything is based on safety!"
"Yes, remember the teachings of the five elders!" the two men and two women replied in unison.
By the time Wang Ruoli arrived at the Red Maple Building, the captain of the guard, Kou Xin, had been waiting at the entrance of the courtyard for a long time.
Wang Ruoli walked into the Ning Red Hall and asked, "How is the situation in the mining area over there in the Red Maple Mountain Range?"
"Young Master Hui, Liang Zhangshi and the six escort captains have been stationed in the mining area to patrol two days ago, but the news of the red iron deposit has somehow spread to the whole city for several days! Kou Xin frowned slightly.
Kou Xin glanced at Wang Ruoli's expression, and then said: "These are just horse thieves and rogues gathered from the neighboring military towns, and their strength is weak, as the news spreads farther and farther, the subordinates are worried that not only will there be more and more people who will hear the news, but also the strength will become stronger and stronger, and the mining area may be difficult to hold!" Now that they have heard the news, the people with the idea of treasure hunting, just like rushing to the market, have already stayed at the foot of Hongfeng Mountain, or in the nearby villages, and the number of people is only afraid of no less than a few thousand, among which there are not a few masters of the three paths of Jitian, and there may even be masters of the Danyuan Sanhua (Hua Dan, Hua Yuan, Hua Ling) have arrived!
