After returning tens of thousands of miles underground, Lao Mai saw that Yu Mu's life was still three points and one line, the securities department, his family and occasionally playing with former colleagues, basically nothing changed, and he still kept hugging the bonsai around morning and night.

The reason for Lao Mai's sudden return, in addition to the fact that his cultivation has come to an end for the time being, and he needs to straighten out the steps to attack the middle stage of Jindan, there is another thing that is that the underground exploration of the Wuxiang Mountain Range has been completed, and a geological structure map has been drawn, waiting for him to come back and review.

After he took a brief look, he summoned the three teachers and nephews and the Zhongsheng Daoist, the master of the Sanqing Pavilion, to hold a meeting, and only studied how to arrange the layout of the main hall cave mansion on the underground structure of the Wuxiang Mountain Range.

From the geological data, it is found that in addition to the surface wood resources, surface soil and gold resources, there are also abundant groundwater resources, and finally the earth fire resources are also found in the depth of more than 10,000 meters, which can completely build a standard Five Elements Cave Mansion, plus the surrounding Five Elements Spiritual Qi resources for spirit gathering and extraction, which can support the survival of the Cave Mansion and the daily cultivation of the people in the foundation building period and below for hundreds of years.

After several days of research and discussion, several high-level people of the Jinshi Sect naturally based on Lao Mai's opinions, and basically determined the pattern of the cave mansion based on one hall and four pavilions.

The next is the excavation project, the excavation of the cave in the cultivation realm is completely different from the practice of building a large number of civil works in the world, it is all dependent on a few people of the earth system cultivators to be able to do it, basically every sect is the same, the earth system cultivators cast a spell to excavate the main project, and then the disciples of other departments do the specific decoration and arrangement.

In the end, the matter of excavating the cave was determined, and it was implemented by the two earth masters of the sect master, Lao Mai, and the master of the monastery pavilion, Xu Zhongxian.

Of course, Lao Mai is a coolie, but with such a large area, if he drills into it by himself, he will not be able to figure out the surrounding conditions, and someone needs to position him, and Xu Zhongxian, who is so partial to the soil, is the first candidate.

Lao Mai made a special trip to refine a pair of induction talismans, each of them held a talisman, Lao Mai took the sub-talisman, Xu Zhong took the mother talisman first, he needed to sense the location of Lao Mai's existence, in order to point out which direction to excavate.

After everything was ready, Lao Mai and Xu Zhongxian immediately went into the depths of the Wuxiang Mountain Range and began to work, Lao Mai moved in the rock and mud layer, Xu Zhongxian sensed his position and followed, and still held geological data in his hand to guide him on how to take the route.

The first thing they are looking for is to open the Fumen, which is the dense forest valley determined by many research surveys, this is the Qianfumen, just in the Wuxiang Mountain Range, and there is a Houfumen, ready to open at the bottom of the deep valley that used to take the rattan basket cable car up the mountain.

After the location of the front and back doors of the cave was determined, Lao Mai began to dig, he drilled into the rock and soil layer of the front door, and quickly pinched the spell with both hands, carrying all kinds of soil and rocks, and opened out a series of roads, caves and stone rooms.

After a few days and nights of sleeplessness, the Jinshi Sect Cave Mansion hidden deep in the belly of the Wuxiang Mountain Range gradually took shape, and the front and back doors were naturally connected, and there were reserved places for setting up formations and prohibitions inside and outside the cave gates.

The passage inside is nine curves and eighteen bends, the four pavilions of the main hall, the stone room of the residence, and the storage place are all available, but it is still a prototype, and the final carving has to rely on the post-processing of all the disciples of the sect.

Standing at the entrance of the front cave in the dense tall forest, looking at the basic cave mansion of the sect that took many days to make, Lao Mai's heart was full of a sense of accomplishment, just like when he drilled the entire underground of the city and absorbed the earth aura to achieve Jindan.

The front and back two cave gates, hidden in the middle of the bushes and vines, the front gate to pass through a very tortuous mountain road to reach, the back door is more hidden, open in a very deep valley like a sinkhole-like valley bottom, need the original valley of the rattan basket cable car to go out, to reach the back of the Wuxiang Taoist view of the mountain gate.

According to the original layout plan designed according to the inner layer of the terrain and mountain, the prototype of the structure of all the caves has been completely opened, the stone chambers, warehouses, halls, corridors, steps, high platforms, etc. in the caves have all the facilities and foundations, and the high and low curved passages lead to the two gates, and there are two roads leading to the underground river and the place where the earth fire is located.

Lao Mai Chuanyin asked Xu Zhongxian to come over, and he first cast a spell to clean up the mud and dust on his body, and took Xu Zhongxian, who flew over, and walked into the cave mansion that was still very deep and dark.

The cave was pitch black, there were no lights, and I couldn't see anything, so I could only watch with my divine sense.

Xu Zhongxian walked all the way in, and what his divine sense showed was that a large area of majestic and magnificent underground palaces, although it was still in a rough state, the scale was extremely breathtaking, and it was obvious that the skills of the Jindan period and the foundation building period could not be compared, and if he wanted to do it himself, he would not be able to do it for a few years.

There is no abnormality inside and outside the Wuxiang Mountain Range, not even a single soil has come out, the ground has changed greatly, as if there is a natural criss-crossing natural cave, and the passages and stone chambers are all moved out of the stratum rock and soil structure, showing Lao Mai's superb soil control skills.

What he didn't know was that when Lao Mai used to drill into the underground of the urban area to absorb the soil aura, he finally compacted the rock and soil layer and worked hard once, and he had experience in opening holes and compacting the soil.

Lao Mai just hurriedly took him around, and then asked him to implement it, all the people who have the right to enter the cave mansion will come here to decorate, including Liu Zhongming's group in the new headquarters of the world, they will also come here to set up a formation prohibition, and there is no need to guard it every day.

After Lao Mai returned to the city, he received a call from his old classmate Lan Xinbo, saying that he must come to a dinner party in the evening to help escort him, but did not specify what the reason was.

This meal was not set up in the international hotel that I used to go to, but in a game restaurant in the suburbs, in a newly opened leisure mountain resort.

He took Yu Mu with him by the way, since he retired early to be a member of society, it is not a matter to bring a chick, and it is not a matter to appear in public.

When I arrived at the scene, many of them were old acquaintances, old colleagues and old subordinates in Shizhong District.

There are District Mayor Liu, who was relocated to the secretary of the district party committee, the former deputy secretary of the party and the masses who was transferred back to the city, the former executive director who became the deputy secretary of the party and the masses, the former director of the political office Lu who was promoted to the standing committee member and director of the party office, the former director of the urban management bureau who was promoted to the deputy head of the district, and the former director of the finance bureau Tan who moved to the CPPCC as vice chairman and all kinds of people.

In the foyer of the restaurant smiling at Lao Mai is Lao Lan, as soon as he sees this formation, Lao Mai knows that he has been promoted to be elected as the executive deputy head of the district, has become the second person in the city government, the original four teams have been successfully completed, and the newcomers gathered together to celebrate.

Lao Lan introduced Lao Mai and Yu Mu to the new chubby, tough-looking female district head, and the other cadres were all old acquaintances, just say hello, at this time, the person waiting with him was no longer Director Lu, but the original short and fat director of the Environmental Protection Bureau, and he was transferred to the political office as the director this time.

Although Lao Mai is a retired cadre, he is also treated at the department level, and his level is not bad at all compared with everyone present, and he calmly greeted Yu Mu with everyone laughing and groaning.

He retired early, and no one believed that he was going home to retire, and they all asked him where he would get rich after he went out.

Lao Mai smiled dryly and took out a bronzing business card, circled around the dining table, and gave one to each person.

Lao Lan took it and looked at it, and immediately laughed, it turned out that the business card had the title of "Director of the Board of Directors of Jinshi Group" written on it.

Lao Lan smiled: "Lao Mai, the company you went to is trendy and dumb enough, and there is a board of directors, should I call you Dong Mai, or Director Mai?"

As for the Jinshi Group, everyone knows that the main business in the city is to do local products, although the company headquarters has its own office building, its building scale is not very conspicuous, to set up a board of directors is obviously not qualified, the board of directors is OK, the board of directors does not know what it means.

Secretary Liu also smiled and said: "I think it's better to call Director Mai, and District Chief Mai is also retired from the department, and he just enjoys the treatment of the department." ”

Since the leader of the first class spoke, everyone smiled and nodded yes.

Lao Mai explained: "What board of directors, in fact, is a think tank, in recent years, the company's transformation and expansion has been rapid, and the management organization has also made some changes. ”

The board of directors is actually the meaning of Lao Mai, it turns out that there is a board of directors on the surface of the Jinshi Group, Liu Zhongming is the chairman of the board of directors, after the actual controller Mu Qingzi returned to heaven, the Jinshi Group made a change in the ownership of assets, changed to Liu Zhongming, Fang Zhonghua, Xu Zhongxian and Yu Mu jointly held shares, of course, Yu Mu is on behalf of Lao Mai, Lao Mai does not want his name to be hung up.

Liu Zhongming is also the chairman of the board of directors, Fang Zhonghua is the vice chairman, Xu Zhongxian is the chairman, Yu Mu is the vice chairman, and Lao Mai has set up a backstage organization called the board of directors behind him, and he is the director himself, and he completely controls them, which is the ins and outs of this inexplicable director of the board.

At this time, the new female district chief also asked about the Luo Group's affiliation with the Jinshi Group, and explained that she had intersected with Boss Luo, and vaguely knew that the Jinshi Group, which had always been low-key, was actually involved in a wide range of areas, and it was not just as simple as making local products on the surface.

The female district chief took the initiative to toast a glass of wine to Lao Mai, and said with a smile: "Director Mai, it seems that you have a great say in Jinshi Group, can you do me a favor and persuade your boss to move the headquarters to our urban site, our current government team focuses on the development of the headquarters economy, and is formulating very preferential policies and measures." ”

Lao Mai is dry every time he drinks, and he waved his hand casually: "Jinshi Group Company is building a headquarters building in Wuxiang Garden, which can be opened before the end of next year, and the company's headquarters will be in the central district of the city at that time." ”

Secretary Liu told the female district chief who was a little dazed about the location of Wuxiang Garden, and the female district chief smiled and smiled and paid three cups of old wheat in a row.

Lao Lan suddenly realized: "The residential building that originally collapsed in Luo's Wuxiang Garden was later rebuilt by Jinshi Group. ”

After all, everyone is a person who mixes on a certain level, and although this meal is said to be a celebration wine, it is also in a warm and measured atmosphere, and it ends at about nine o'clock in the evening.

Lao Lan finally sent Lao Mai to the car, and chatted for a while by the way, the car was the Santana 2000 car driven by the female security guard, and the female security guard just went to the driver's table to eat, and then went back to the car to wait, waiting for Lao Mai and Yu Mu to come out.
