She made fire by setting up a stall

Chapter 198
"No, this mountain is not yours. Why can't I dig it?" The man's nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and his speech was a little vague, "It's my bad luck that I met you."

"Several good guys, anyway, I didn't get your things, and I was beaten by you. Shouldn't this be offset? Can you let me go? If I can't make money, my family will starve to death. "

"You're lying." Shi Luo glanced at him.

The man covered his face, full of anger, but he didn't dare to let it out, "Why did I lie?"

He thought Shi Luo was talking about emeralds.

"You lost your father when you were young, and lost your mother when you were middle-aged. Because you are lazy, you are still alone. I would like to ask you, where did your family come from?" Shi Luo bluntly skinned this man.

"You, how do you know?" The man turned around and wanted to run away, "Are you really ghosts?"

Zhang Jia punched him again and sneered, "You are the ghost!"

The man knelt down with a plop, "I was wrong, I have no parents, but I have to eat myself, it's hard to find a job now, if I don't go to the mountains to dig some emeralds to sell, I will really starve to death of."

"What kind of emerald?" Shi Luo asked him.

The man's eyes rolled around, but he didn't answer.

He was worried that Shi Luo's group would also rob him. There were not many emeralds on this mountain, and if they were robbed by these people, he would have to go back empty-handed today.

"Miss, please do me a favor and let them let me go!" The man begged Shi Luo with his hands clasped together.

In his eyes, dignity is not worth mentioning, the most important thing is to be able to fill his stomach.

"Answer whatever Miss Shi asks you, don't talk nonsense." Zhang Jia punched him in the stomach again.

Then Zhang Jia said to Xue Cheng, "Brother Xue, come here."

Among them, Xue Cheng looked the most like a villain when he had a cold face.

Xue Cheng stepped forward and lifted the man from Zhang Jia's hand. He tightened his grip on the man's collar. The man was strangled until he couldn't breathe. His face turned red and then purple, just when he thought he was going to die. At the moment, Xue Cheng let go.

Breathing fresh air, the man narrowly escaped death, he clutched his neck and coughed desperately, tears streaming down his face.

"Anyway, there is no one else here. Even if I kill him and bury him on the spot, no one will know about it." After Xue Cheng finished speaking, he drew out his dagger and gestured at the man's heart, as if he was looking for a place to cut the knife. .

The man pissed in fright.

"Emerald is a kind of green stone. Some people come here to collect it. If you are lucky and find a good one, one piece can be sold for tens of thousands, and the cheap ones can be several thousand." Everyone who knows has said, "But this kind of emerald is very strange. It can run underground. It is not easy to find a piece. Only those who are lucky can dig out the stones with tens of thousands of pieces."

"The emerald you mentioned is not emerald?" Zhang Jia asked.

"No." The man shook his head hastily, "The gemstones are not very big, I only dug up two pieces, and they were not very green, so they sold for a few hundred yuan."

"What kind of person came to collect this green stone?" Shi Luo asked.

Shi Luo can often grasp the key issues.

"An old man." The man's expression was extremely exaggerated. "He is rich, and all he takes is cash, which is packed in a bag, in bundles."

"Your local government agrees that private individuals can go into the mountains to dig this kind of emerald at will?" Ming Xun asked following Shi Luo's words.

He seemed to guess what Shi Luo was thinking.

"That's impossible." The man's voice was much softer, "We all came here secretly. The old man said that we should not let others know about it. He also met us secretly in the mountains when he collected the emeralds from us."

There are many mountains here. If someone comes to arrest them, they will drill into the mountains and no one will be able to find them.

Zhang Jia and the others also heard something was wrong.

"If you can dig out a piece today, no matter what the quality is, I will give you 10,000 yuan." Ming Xun threw out a bait.

"One, 10,000 yuan?" The man tremblingly raised a stick to clean it up.

For a person like him who can't even eat enough to eat every day, 10,000 yuan is a huge sum of money.

"The condition is that one piece must be dug up within one hour." Mingxun asked.

"No problem." The temptation of 10,000 yuan was too great, even though his whole body hurt, the man was full of strength.

But he is still not at ease, he has forgotten the fear when he was dying just now, and now he only has one word "money" in his heart, "How do I know you are not lying to me?"

Ming Xun took out a wad of money from his bag and handed it to Zhang Jia.

Zhang Jia took it, shook it in front of the man, and shook it loudly, "We have a lot of money. If you want it, you can dig it quickly. We will find someone else to buy it when it is out of date. You should buy it here." Many people have emeralds, right?"

The man ran away with the tools, "You wait, I will be back within an hour."

After the man left, Zhang Jia asked worriedly: "He won't run away?"

"No, in the eyes of this kind of person, money is more important than life."

"Luoluo, are you worried that there is spiritual power in that emerald, someone bought it specially to absorb the spiritual energy in the stone?" Shi Luo was still staring at the direction where the man left, Ming Xun asked her.

Shi Luo looked at Ming Xun in surprise.

"Why did you guess right again?" Shi Luo didn't hide it from him, and said, "That's probably the reason why the couple on the top of the mountain were buried here. The mountain is full of spiritual energy, so that stones with spiritual power can be bred, and these stones It also feeds back the heaven and the earth, so the spiritual power in this deep forest will be endless, if the stone is really full of spiritual power and is dug away by someone, this layer of mountains will lose the protection of heaven and earth."

The consequences could be disastrous.

"The person who bought the stone should be from the same lineage as Lian Yunshan who used the forbidden technique." They are not on the path of serious cultivation.

Zhang Jia and the others also understood.

They thought about it, if there is no aura in these mountains and forests, there will be no nourishment from the sky and the earth, and sooner or later the creatures here will disappear.

The environment has a huge impact on human beings.

Once the mountains and forests disappear, it will also be a devastating blow to human beings.

"Those people are really inhumane." Zhang Jia scolded.

"In their eyes, ordinary people are just ants. If they can become immortals and step on the ants on the ground, they won't feel guilty." Shi Luo said.

The old man said that in the eyes of many cultivators, the lives of ordinary people are not worth mentioning to them.

If you can help them build roads, let alone let this piece of life go extinct, even if they let them destroy human beings with their own hands, they will not be merciful.

"The so-called Taoism and immortality is nothing more than taking the lives of tens of thousands of people to fill his path to immortality." Shi Luo's voice was extremely cold.

"The water on the road of cultivating Taoism is so deep?" Zhang Jia and the others were shocked.

"Luoluo and Master are naturally different." Ming Xun interrupted the deep thinking of these people, and he said: "Luoluo never plunders, what she absorbs is the aura scattered in the world, and even if these auras are not absorbed, they will gradually dissipate."

"Mr. Ming, we know what Miss Shi is like." So you don't need to explain.
