Chapter 907 Pingling Mountain Spirit Mine ([-])
Tangning asked about some specific matters in detail, and then left the peak with Jiang Xinquan and came to the guard hall.

Huang Gansheng, the disciple in charge of guarding affairs, rushed to greet him with several people, and led him into a stone room inside.

In the slightly dim room, a huge black conical object stands in the center, projecting a dazzling light onto the black stone wall.

The above pictures are condensed.

There is a picture of the storage hall.

There are pictures of mining areas.

There is a picture of the south gate of the city outline.

There is a picture of recruiting disciples' lodgings.

"There are pictures of the stone room."

Huang Gansheng explained: "This is the area projected by the Eye of Heaven and Earth. There are five places in total. We can directly observe every move of these places in the background."

"Is there someone on duty in this room at twelve hours every day?"

"Yes, there are at least two people on duty to monitor these areas."

"Why is the Eye of Heaven and Earth placed only on the south side of the city wall? What about the east, west, and north?"

"Uncle Master, the entire mountain range is surrounded by a city wall for two thousand miles, and only the south side is open. All personnel must enter and exit from the south wall, so only the Eye of Heaven and Earth was installed in the south of the city, and two monks were sent to guard it."

"How many people are in your guard team?"

"Including the disciples, there are fifteen people in total. The other fourteen people are casual cultivators recruited, including two Golden Core monks. My uncle has met them both in the meeting hall before."

Tangning nodded, and then left the Hall of Guards with Jiang Xinquan, and went to the Hall of Finance.

Yang Qiushui, the disciple in charge of the team's finances, led the two into the stone room on the second floor of the attic.

"I'll bring Junior Brother Tang to find out about our team's financial situation, Qiu Shui, please introduce to Junior Brother Tang!" Jiang Xinquan said.

"Yes." Yang Qiushui replied, taking out a stack of files from under the desk and handing them to Tangning with both hands, "Uncle Tang, this is all the financial income and expenses of the team this year, please have a look."

"This year, the team has spent a total of [-] million spirit stones. So far, [-] million spirit stones have been spent, including the salaries of [-] recruited disciples, a total of [-] million spirit stones. The total cost of items is more than five million yuan."

Tangning took the file and flipped through it page by page. The account details on it were very clear, and the source of each transaction was signed and stamped by the corresponding personnel as evidence. There were hundreds of items of expenses in total.

After a while, Tangning closed the file and returned it to Yang Qiushui.

The real financial facts are not what can be seen in the files and reports, this is just waste paper to perfunctory the people above.

Only Jiang Xinquan really knows the team's expenses and income.

"Are all the funds of the team drawn from you?"

"Yes, small expenditures can be collected from me, but large expenditures of more than [-] spirit stones must be reported to Uncle Jiang and approved by him."

"Do you personally approve every expense for the team?"

"The disciple also recruited four monks to assist in the management of financial affairs. Expenditures below [-] spirit stones can be withdrawn after they have approved it for the disciple to review. Disciplines will only approve expenditures of more than [-] spirit stones or the expenses of the senior brothers in the team. .”

Tangning casually asked a few questions about the financial situation. After leaving the hall, the setting sun had already set in the west.

Jiang Xinquan said: "Junior Brother Tang, you have a general understanding of all the affairs of our Ling Mine, I think this is the end of today! The future is long, don't rush for a while. I will take you to the resting place first!"

"it is good."

The two escaped from the light, and after a short walk, they came to a majestic cave.

The entire Dongfu covers an area of ​​about five or six miles, which is extremely majestic.

Jiang Xinquan smiled and said: "I know that you are about to go to work, so the special person built this cave, and you will live in it for now. If you don't like it, it doesn't matter if you change it at that time."

Tangning didn't expect Jiang Xinquan to be so enthusiastic. She was both surprised and vigilant. The so-called being courteous for nothing means adultery or robbery.

He is a disciple of the sect who is about to die and takes the initiative to retire. He has never had any contact with him, has no relatives and reasons, why is he showing such enthusiasm?

Tangning was puzzled, but her expression remained calm, "Thank you, Senior Brother Jiang, for your concern."

"Small things, not worth mentioning, should be done, let's go! Let's go in and have a look."

The two entered the inner room, which extended in all directions, with criss-crossing roads and many courtyards.

There are pavilions, terraces and pavilions, gardens and waterside pavilions, lakes and peach forests, palaces and palaces, everything that one expects to find.

"How is it? Brother Tang, are you satisfied with this cave?" Jiang Xinquan asked as they sat opposite each other under the pavilion beside the lake.

The whole lake is about two hundred feet in size, with willows on both sides of the lake. Above the lake, the water is shimmering, there are egrets flying, and fish schools are occasionally seen.

To the east of the lake is a birch forest, and to the west is a maple forest. The golden maple leaves and the frosty birch complement each other, which is pleasing to the eye.

The breeze blows and shakes the willows, which is refreshing.

"To tell the truth, Senior Brother Jiang, I have never enjoyed such a spacious and magnificent residence since I practiced, and I am not used to it at this time."

Jiang Xinquan said with a smile: "It's just a cave, there is nothing to enjoy or not to enjoy, this is not a scarce cultivation resource, if you want, you can build ten or eight buildings at any time, Tang Junior Brother must have devoted himself to cultivation before I don't have time to worry about these chores."

"But having said that, you are no more free and unrestrained than before.

"Now that he has been promoted to the position of captain and is stationed in this pavilion city on behalf of our sect, he is at least a respectable figure in this pavilion. This communication is inevitable. There must be a place to welcome guests!"

"Otherwise, if the headmaster of other sects or the president of the chamber of commerce come to you, and there is not even a hall to entertain you, wouldn't it be a bit chilly?"

Tangning said, "That's right, thank you Senior Brother Jiang for your trouble."

"I'll find a few people for you to dispatch later. This is a large cave, and it won't work if no one takes care of it. There must be a gatekeeper!"

"Don't dare to bother Senior Brother Jiang anymore. In a few days, I'll find a few people myself." Tangning was suspicious of Jiang Xinquan's motives, so she was naturally unwilling to use the people he sent.

The two chatted for a while, and Jiang Xinquan left.

At night, Tang Ning sat cross-legged in the room and closed her eyes to practice. The stone room here is five or six feet in size, with carved beams and painted buildings, gold railings and jade bricks, and the decoration is very magnificent.

The whole house is made of JueShen stone outside and sound-proof stone inside, which can isolate the internal and external consciousness and sound.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Although the sound-proof stone can isolate internal and external sounds, the sound acting on the stone itself cannot be isolated, so the sound can be heard.

Tang Ning opened her eyes, stretched out her hand and twisted on the raised stone on the left side of the desk, the stone door opened with a bang, and saw a graceful woman entering from the outside. It was Yang Qiushui, who bowed and saluted. : "Disciple pays respects to Master Uncle."

"what's up?"

"Jiang Shishu invites you to come over to the house for a briefing."

"Okay." The two left the room and came to Jiang Xinquan's cave.

In the resplendent and resplendent hall, many young and beautiful women stand on both sides with their hands down. They are all female cultivators who have cultivated Qi. There is a table of banquets in the hall. All kinds of delicacies are served on jade plates. The red peaches and green willows are bright in color and fragrant. .

Tangning entered from the outside, and the women on both sides saluted together, "My respects, Senior."

"Junior Brother Tang is here, please sit down." Jiang Xinquan smiled and got up to greet him.

Tang Ning took her seat as promised, and Xiu, a beautiful woman next to her, immediately poured spiritual wine for the two of them.

"On behalf of the team, I welcome Junior Brother Tang's arrival." Jiang Xinquan raised his glass and drank it down.

"Senior Brother Jiang is too polite. I'm new here and I don't understand many things, so I ask Senior Brother Jiang to give me some guidance." Tangning said as she accompanied her for a drink.

"Go first!" Jiang Xinquan waved his hand, and all the girls retreated in a file.

"Senior brother Jiang, these nuns are not all your concubines!"

Jiang Xinquan smiled: "They were all sent by others, and they usually do some housekeeping work, such a big cave, if it is not popular, it will be a bit lonely.

"This man! As he grows older, he is afraid of loneliness. To tell you the truth, Junior Brother Tang, I was just like you in the early years. I devoted myself to cultivation and dismissed these foreign things."

"But since my cultivation has stagnated, I have grown older, and I have gradually accepted these things after knowing that the Dao is hopeless. Others naturally like me. The female cultivators just now were all sent by other forces in this pavilion."

"After I leave, if Junior Brother Tang doesn't give up, let them stay in your cave!"

Tangning waved her hand, "Senior Brother Jiang, this is embarrassing for me. I always like to be pure. Besides, I'm married. I'm afraid these female cultivators will not be blessed."

"Since they are not blessed to serve Junior Brother Tang, then let them go to their respective homes!"

Jiang Xinquan drank a cup and said, "Junior Brother Tang, I invite you here today because I want to have a heart-to-heart talk with you. I wonder if you would like to listen to my nagging."
