After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 557: Theft by an employer feels a bit weird!

"Okay, I have no objection."

Chen Yang nodded.

He doesn't even look down on ordinary things, and I don't think Tong Xin and his gang can get extraordinary things.

The group crossed the bridge and went up the mountain. It was already dark now. The evening breeze mixed with the fragrance of rape flowers caressed their faces gently, which was very comfortable.

Tong Xin and his friends had come here a long time ago, but they didn't dare to take action because this was the territory of the Zhao family in Luoshan, and Baoguang was located in the direction of the Zhao family's mine.

There is an open-pit iron mine on Wutong Mountain, which was bought by the Zhao family as early as the 1980s.

To this day, the southern slope of Wutong Mountain is probably completely hollowed out.

Under the leadership of Tongxin, the group quickly climbed up the mountain and followed a path under the ridge, quickly approaching the southern slope.

In fact, in order to facilitate mining, there is a highway on the mountain, but the highway is winding and not as fast as the small roads.

On the southern slope, due to mining, the vegetation is relatively sparse. After walking along the trail for about twenty minutes, there are almost no large trees to block the view.

After walking for another ten minutes, you will see a stretch of wasteland with huge mine pits clearly visible. They are like acne pits on a giant's face, so big and deep that they look quite exaggerated.

After walking around one mine after another for more than ten minutes, a valley appeared in front of Chen Yang.

The entrance to the valley is about ten meters wide, with a large iron gate and a guard booth next to it.

At this time, lights were on in the guard booth and in the valley, especially inside the valley, where the lights were dazzling.

Hundreds of meters away, several people stopped and hid behind a large rock under the cover of night.

Tong Xin said, "This place is called Wutongping. After iron ore was discovered, it was bought by the Zhao family. There used to be a mountain god temple in the valley, and the nearby villagers have a tradition of offering sacrifices to the Wutong God..."

"Wutong, isn't he an evil god?" Jiang Feifei asked in a low voice beside him.

Tong Xin said, "Some places also worship you as a mountain god. The common people don't care about evil gods or righteous gods. Anyway, we worship you, so just don't invade us..."

Wutongshen is indeed an evil god in many places.

In ancient times, some places regarded some mountain spirits, wood goblins, elves and evil spirits as the five gods. These things often came down the mountain to cause trouble. In order to avoid disasters, people either asked strong people to kill them, or worshipped them as mountain gods, built temples to worship them, and sought psychological comfort.

There is no historical evidence to prove when and why this mountain temple on Wutong Mountain was built. There are only some oral traditions among nearby villagers.

It is said that a hundred years ago, a certain monk built a small temple here in order to suppress the evil spirit in the mountain. After the monk died, the temple was abandoned. This temple originally had no name, but it was passed around and was regarded as a mountain god temple by the villagers nearby.

This temple is very remote, so naturally there aren't many worshippers. After the monk died, people were worried that the Five Spirits in the mountain would come out to cause trouble, so they might still come to worship, but over time, nothing happened, so naturally there were fewer believers.

When the Zhao family took over the mountain, the nearby villagers had no objection. There were very few elderly people who voiced opposition, but no one took them seriously.

Since the 1980s, the Zhao family has begun to mine the iron ore on Wutong Mountain. Until recent years, if they continued to mine, the mountain would probably collapse. In addition, the Zhao family has other mines, so they stopped here.

It's not really stopped, it's just a small amount of mining. The machines in the mine are still running, but the output is much less than before.

……

"You guys, haven't you ever been in to take a look?" Chen Yang asked.

Tong Xin shook his head and pointed to the sentry box in front and said, "There are two people in the sentry box, both of them are good fighters of the second or third rank. We don't know if there are people in the valley, so we dare not act rashly. Chen Yang, aren't you in the spiritual realm? Use your mental power to explore first."

After all, this is the Zhao family's territory. Who knows what the situation is like in the valley? If you rush in rashly and get caught, it may cause a conflict between the Zhao family and the Tong family.

This is also the reason why Tong Xin wanted to invite Chen Yang. The strong people in the spiritual realm have mental power, which makes it easier to investigate.

Firstly, it can help us explore the situation in the valley, and secondly, it will make it easier to find treasures.

With a sweep of mental power, everything becomes clear.

Chen Yang looked at the valley ahead and the surrounding environment.

Iron ore, the energy of gold and iron, can trap the [zodiac tiger].

This place might really be the hiding place of the Zodiac Tiger.

But if this is the hiding place of the [Zodiac Tiger].

The Zhao family is mining here, and I'm afraid they have destroyed the earth's veins. Moreover, as the ore is continuously dug away, the gold and iron energy here is becoming increasingly thinner. Can it still suppress the zodiac tiger?

In addition, if we dig in this way, perhaps we would have already dug out the [Zodiac Tiger].

"Can you still see the black light now?" Chen Yang asked.

Tong Xin shook her head, "I can't see it now, but I saw it with my own eyes last night. The precious light came from this valley."

He said firmly.

Chen Yang released his mental power and probed towards the valley.

……

-

At the same time, in the valley.

Bright lights.

The so-called Wutong Mountain Temple has long been destroyed, and replaced by a huge mine pit on the ground.

There are many machines parked on the edge of the mine.

There were more than a dozen people standing at the edge of the pit. If Chen Yang were here, he would definitely be able to recognize them, as they were basically all acquaintances.

The leader was Qiao Hongjun, and next to him were five senior monks sent by Baoguo Temple to assist.

Wang Yuanchao, Zhang Zhaoyun and others were also there, and the rest were some association staff.

At this moment, everyone was looking at the pit below, and the expressions on their faces were very solemn.

Next to Qiao Hongjun, an old man in his sixties was trembling with fear.

Zhao Xiangdong, the second master of the Zhao family in Luoshan, is in the middle stage of the spiritual realm. The young man from the Zhao family who was captured in Pangpoling is his son.

At this moment, Zhao Xiangdong's face was pale, as if he had encountered some devastating disaster.

He stammered, "We had not touched this valley before, until more than a month ago, when we decided to dig on a whim, and we found something..."

"It just so happened that a master was visiting our Zhao family, visiting my father and second uncle. After learning about this, he came to the scene to take a look. We then realized that we had unearthed a demon..."

……

"Why didn't you report it at that time?" Qiao Hongjun said with a gloomy face.

This happened more than a month ago. If the Zhao family had chosen to report the matter at that time, there wouldn't have been so many difficult problems later.

If the General Association had known about the [Twelve Zodiac Tai Sui Chaotian Scheme], they would have started taking action more than a month ago. The matter would have been settled long ago, so how could the people of the Gu God Cult take advantage of it?

Zhao Xiangdong was trembling with fear when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "At that time, we knew how to deal with the situation. We wanted to report it, but that expert stopped us. Second uncle and my father were also afraid that this matter would bring trouble to the family, so we listened to that expert and handled it privately..."

"The expert said that the energy of gold and iron can suppress this evil, so we appropriated a large amount of refined iron and buried it here..."

……

"Ah."

When Wang Yuanchao heard this, he sneered, "So, the so-called theft of Zhao's fine iron turned out to be your doing? I was wondering why we couldn't find any clues after searching for so long."

The Zhao family's warehouse must be heavily guarded, and it is located in the city center. What kind of extraordinary means would be needed to steal such a large amount of fine iron without anyone noticing, avoiding all eyes and surveillance?

It turns out that from the beginning to the end, there was no theft of fine iron. It was a staged and staged incident by the Zhao family, who embezzled the property. It would be a miracle if this could be found out.

Zhao Xiangdong laughed dryly and said, "We have no other choice. After all, we have signed contracts with many forces. The matter of the evil spirit in the mountain cannot be exposed. We can only resort to this last resort. It can also be regarded as an explanation to the partners of various factions, and..."

“And you’re also trying to get insurance fraud and ask for some compensation from the government, right?” Wang Yuanchao rolled his eyes, showing his undisguised contempt.

Zhao Xiangdong paused and was speechless.

Qiao Hongjun asked, "Who is the master you are talking about?"

"This……"

Zhao Xiangdong stammered and hesitated, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Qiao Hongjun frowned, "It's already this time, and you still dare to hide it?"

"No, I dare not."

Zhao Xiangdong hurriedly shook his head, "That man is the guardian of the Gushen Cult, his name is Xiao Sanjue, he is from the Raojiang Ancient Huai Village, and it is said that he is in the realm of creation!"

Xiao Sanjue?
Qiao Hongjun's frown deepened.

Of course he knew who this Xiao Sanjue was.

Guhuai Village, Xiao Sanhuai's younger brother.

Could it be that what Chen Yang said was true?

……

-

Outside the valley.

Chen Yang withdrew his mental power and his expression changed slightly.

"How about it?"

Tong Xin asked immediately.

The people nearby also looked at him curiously.

The spiritual realm, where one can feel and use spiritual power, is the realm they have always been pursuing.

"Tongxin, why don't you just go down the mountain!"

Chen Yang said this out of the blue. After hearing this, several people were slightly surprised.

What do you mean? We're going down the mountain? You're not going down the mountain?
Have you discovered something good and want to keep it all to yourself?

There's no need to be so blunt, right?
"What do you mean?"

Tong Xin was stunned. He had come into contact with Chen Yang before, and he shouldn't be such a person.

Besides, didn’t we agree just now when we were at the foot of the mountain that no matter what we found, we would take it together and share it equally?

"You can't grasp what's inside."

Chen Yang left a word and ignored them, walking straight towards the valley ahead.

"Hey……"

Liang Shaojun reached out to pull him back, but his grasp was empty.

Why is this person like this?

There is no collective consciousness at all. They just ran away without any hesitation. Where does this put us?
Everyone looked at Tong Xin, as if complaining about the people he had called over.

Seeing Chen Yang walking away, is he trying to steal the treasure or something?
We all came here together, so how could we let you keep it all to yourself? Everyone followed after him in tacit understanding.

……

-

In the valley.

"What benefits did Xiao Sanjue promise you?"

Qiao Hongjun's eyes fell on the pit. The bottom of the pit was now buried by soil, and the bottom of the soil was filled with fine iron.

These fine irons were made into iron blocks and laid in a whole layer under the soil.

So much fine iron is worth a lot of money. The Zhao family can just throw it away, but it takes a lot of courage.

If they had chosen to report the matter at that time, nothing would have happened. At least the Zhao family would not be punished for discovering the evil spirit. They might even be given some substantial rewards.

Qiao Hongjun didn't believe that the Zhao family didn't realize this.

However, they did not choose to report it, but concealed it. Excuses such as insurance fraud and compensation fraud are totally untenable.

There must be huge interests behind this, for the Zhao family to choose to take such a risk.

After all, if the Zhao family knew about this kind of thing but didn't report it, and it led to serious consequences, they would definitely be held accountable.

Zhao Xiangdong didn't dare to look directly into Qiao Hongjun's eyes, and said, "Senior Xiao promised to help my second uncle and my father break through the Creation Realm. My father and my second uncle have been stuck in the late Spiritual Realm for many years, and their time is running out. Without external help, it may be difficult for us to enter the Creation Realm in this lifetime. Moreover, the power of the Gu God Cult is huge, and we can't afford to provoke them..."

He came up with a bunch of reasons, all of which were excuses for the Zhao family.

It seemed that they had no choice but to do this.

As to whether Qiao Hongjun listened to it, it is not clear.

Qiao Hongjun turned around and looked towards the valley entrance.

A young man walked in from the valley entrance.

It was Chen Yang.

"Hey, Chen Yang? Why are you here?"

When Wang Yuanchao saw Chen Yang, he was a little stunned. How come he could meet this guy everywhere?
He didn't remember notifying this kid.

"Accident, accident."

Chen Yang smiled awkwardly and walked towards Qiao Hongjun.

At the same time, Tong Xin and others also followed into the valley. They were all excited, but when they saw the scene in the valley, they immediately stopped and their faces were stunned.

so many people?

Tong Xin glanced at everyone. He didn't recognize the others, but he knew Wang Yuanchao.

Almost subconsciously, Tong Xin turned around and was about to run outside.

The other four people didn't understand the situation, and when they saw Tong Xin was about to run, they instinctively followed him.

"The boy from the Tong family."

Wang Yuanchao had already seen him and scolded him directly.

Tong Xin stopped and turned to look at Wang Yuanchao, with embarrassment written all over his face.

"Grandpa Wang, what a coincidence?"

Tong Xin forced out an awkward smile. He really didn't expect to meet these people here.

His family did not allow him to interfere in the Wutong Mountain incident. Now that he has been caught by Wang Yuanchao, he will definitely be punished if he tells his family about it.

"Get over here!"

Wang Yuanchao scolded again.

Tong Xin had no choice but to go ahead with it.

After a quick glance, it seemed that no one at the scene was simple. This kind of occasion was not the place for them to join in the fun.

"What are you doing here?"

Wang Yuanchao glanced at Tong Xin, then at the young men behind Tong Xin, and started scolding them directly.

The attitudes towards these people and towards Chen Yang are completely different.

The key reason is still the issue of personal strength. Chen Yang is strong enough, so he naturally has nothing to say, but these guys in front of him, who have no strength but are trying to force their way in, are simply courting their own death.

He has a hot temper to begin with, and he also has a good relationship with the older generation of the Tong family, so he has to scold them when he needs to!

"I, we..."

Tong Xin hung his head, not daring to breathe.

At this moment, he really regretted not listening to Chen Yang. It would have been better if he had just left.

He hesitated for a long time and couldn't say a complete sentence. He glanced at Chen Yang next to him, hoping that Chen Yang could help him out.

"Mr. Wang, please calm down."

Chen Yang tried to smooth things over and explained what had happened to everyone.

"Baoguang?"

Wang Yuanchao didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this. "Have you mastered the Qi-reading technique passed down in your family? Are you showing off? You're lucky you met us, otherwise you guys wouldn't even know how you died."

Tongxin froze and his face turned red.

"Grandpa Wang, I did see a black light shining in the sky..."

"Go back and ask your father and grandfather what kind of treasure emits black light."

Wang Yuanchao scolded him and interrupted him, "Get out of here and stop being an eyesore."

Tong Xin felt as if he had been pardoned. Without saying a word, he quickly fled with his teammates.

"It's really intimidating."

Wang Yuanchao still felt unsatisfied and looked at Chen Yang, "You too, he doesn't understand, don't you understand either? And you let them do whatever they want."

Chen Yang spread his hands and said, "Mr. Wang, please don't wrongly accuse me. It was Tong Xin who asked me to come here, saying that a treasure was born. How would I know what it is..."

Wang Yuanchao blew his beard and said, "You are the most dishonest boy. If you don't know what is here, I will write my last name backwards."

"If you turn your character 王 upside down, isn't it still 王?"

Chen Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He shrugged his shoulders without further explanation and turned his gaze to the mine below. "What's the situation now?"

Qiao Hongjun gave Zhang Zhaoyun a look, telling him that he didn't need to waste his breath on such matters.

Zhang Zhaoyun took Chen Yang to the side and explained the general situation.

Qiao Hongjun had already brought the senior monks from Baoguo Temple to the bottom of the pit, ready to dig up the fine iron covering the pit to see what was going on underneath.

Chen Yang was also shocked after hearing what Zhang Zhaoyun said.

The Zhao family is so bold. They even dare to hide such a thing. They are so brave.

Hasn't the Zhao family always been low-key? It's true that the dog that doesn't bark is the most likely to bite. They are usually silent, but you never know when they will suddenly give you a big blow.

Chen Yang stood at the edge of the pit and looked down.

The pit is not very big, about two or three hundred square meters, and has been trimmed to be very flat.

There was a layer of soil on top, nearly half a meter thick, and then a layer of fine iron, and then there was another layer of soil, and then there were the jars of the Tai Sui gods and evil spirits.

Chen Yang originally wanted to go down and take a look, but was stopped by Wang Yuanchao.

It is enough to have Qiao Hongjun and the others down there. There is no need for those in the spiritual realm to go down and join in the fun.

"Mr. Wang, why do I feel something is a little weird?" Chen Yang used the radar to explore for a while and always felt something was wrong.

"What's wrong?"

Wang Yuanchao turned around and looked at him, waiting for him to explain.

Chen Yang said, "Don't you find it strange? Murong Qian from the Gu God Cult came here for the Tai Sui Shen Sha Bureau. Since they had already found the Zodiac Tiger a month ago, why didn't they dig it out and take it away? Moreover, as far as I know, Murong Qian didn't know the existence of the Zodiac Tiger..."
