Chapter 25 Take a step back, the sky is brighter 3
It was impossible to carry 400 million taels of silver casually, so that afternoon, they took the spaceship to Linhai City again. This time there were four people, including the old mine head.The boat was very crowded, and many people were reluctant to work when they knew that a new mine was coming.

Once on the boat, Xie Xiaoyu and Su Ruozhu remained the same, each occupying a corner, one kept playing with a sword talisman, and the other concentrated on warming the sword talisman.Su Mingcheng had already refined a natal sword talisman, but he didn't turn his true energy into sword energy like Xie Xiaoyu.Of course, Xie Xiaoyu couldn't tell him that this was another way of training, he just said that it was a transitional method that he had conceived so that he would not waste his time.

Su Mingcheng has no doubts about him, but now he has been fooled by the serial blows of Xie Xiaoyu and his hall master.He also wanted to enrich himself, so when he was in Linhai City, he bought Buddhist and Taoist classics such as "Tao Te Ching", "Book of Changes" and "Prajna Sutra". Unfortunately, he only read it for one night and couldn't stand it anymore. Early the next morning, he threw these scriptures to Uncle Zhang as a fire starter.From then on, no matter what Xie Xiaoyu asked him to practice, he would do it right, and he was more obedient than his apprentice.

The uncle accompanied the old mine owner at first, but after seeing the other two practicing hard, he couldn't sit still anymore, so he simply ran into the cargo hold and practiced his strength holding the iron box containing the ingots.

The old mine head saw with his own eyes that these three people practiced penance, and he refused to waste any time. His heart became more determined, and he no longer worried that these people would cross the river and tear down the bridge.While he was relieved, he was also envious, and the old man's mind became active.

Two days later, the spaceship landed.

This time it was very early, before noon.

After getting off the boat, Xie Xiaoyu took a bag, handed it to the uncle, and said, "Go to the clubhouse with the mine head, invite those important people to have a meal, and take care of things up and down. This matter is mainly left to the mine head."

That bag is full of money.

He has dozens of ingots in his hand, and each ingot weighs more than a hundred catties. Red fire copper is copper in name, but it is worth more than gold.This bag of Chihuo coins was made by him by stealing the mold from the mine.

"When will you come over?" The uncle had no idea, in case of a major event, Xie Xiaoyu could not make a decision.

"I will go to Xin Le Tang to borrow money, and I won't waste much time." Xie Xiaoyu said.

Uncle kept silent, borrowing money is a big deal, 400 million taels is not a small amount, he never dared to dream of so much money before.

I stopped two two-wheeled vehicles on the street, and the uncle sat on them with bags in his hands. Although he became a monk, he was still a bit rustic. He had a storage bag on his waist, but he refused to put all the important things in it. Always feel unsafe.

Xie Xiaoyu shook her head helplessly. It is impossible for the uncle to change his temper. Even if he succeeds in cultivation in the future, he will not look like a monk.

"Are you interested in Xinletang?" Su Duozhu was a little surprised.

"I sent them away, just want to study with you, where is the mining area located?" Xie Xiaoyu couldn't say this when he was in the mine and on the flying ship.

"I'm not familiar with mining at all." Su Mingcheng felt that his head was in a mess again, and he shouldn't ask him such things at all.

"Do you think I am someone who is interested in mines?" Xie Xiaoyu asked.

"Not like." Su Mingcheng shook his head.

"I want to take this opportunity to find a place suitable for cultivation. It is best to have a high-quality spiritual vein, more medicinal materials nearby, and some monsters that I can use to practice swords." The face of the old mine head said, otherwise he would have an idea.

Su Mingcheng was not surprised. Mining is not something that monks should think about. In the name of opening a mining area, it is in line with the practice of monks to find a good place for themselves to practice.

"How do you know where there are spiritual veins? It's impossible to go all over Tianbaozhou, right?" Su Mingcheng knew that Xie Xiaoyu knew how to look for qi, so he didn't worry about finding the spiritual veins at all, but no matter how powerful the hope was, Qishu also needs to go on a field survey, it is impossible to find out the spiritual veins from the map.

"It's very simple. Wherever the evil spirit is strong, there may be spiritual veins. All things are born in the world, and a balance of yin and yang is emphasized. There must be detoxifying things next to highly poisonous things, and hot and dry medicinal materials must be produced in bitter cold places."

Xie Xiaoyu's random reasoning made Su Mingcheng lose any thoughts, and only felt that he had read too little.

If you want to know the evil spirit branch, it's really too simple. All the gangs in Tianbao Prefecture have a set of maps, which were left when the major sects surveyed here in the early years. After that, they will be added and revised every ten years. Repeatedly without interruption.

Xie Xiaoyu would definitely not go to the headquarters of Xinletang, so he sat down in a teahouse near the headquarters of Xinletang, and after a while, Master Su came over with a lot of things.

First, he slapped a thick stack of banknotes on the table, and Su Duo said: "Come count it, and write an IOU after counting."

Xie Xiaoyu likes this very much. Everyone is purely trading and buying and selling, and they don't owe each other favors.He was also a villain first and then a gentleman, and he picked up the banknotes and counted them.

There are two kinds of bank notes, one is 20, a total of [-] sheets, and the other is [-], which has a thick stack.All banknotes are stamped with Chase.

After counting and putting it away, Xie Xiaoyu asked Dr. Cha to fetch a pen and paper, and quickly wrote down an IOU, which stated [-]% interest payment and half-year settlement.

Dry the note and hand it to Master Su.

Su Ruozhu folded it carefully and stuffed it into his pocket.In the future, I will return the money to him. If I still don’t pay it, I will burn the IOU, which is a great favor, so this thing is very important.

After collecting the IOU, Master Su spread out all the volumes of albums in his hand.

These albums are finely drawn on yellow silk with fine brushwork. They are not big but very long. Tianbao Prefecture is divided into more than 700 small blocks according to a radius of one hundred miles. Each block has a picture. There are dots of red marks on the mountains, rivers and rivers. Some of these marks represent barbarian tribes, some represent the gathering of monsters, and some represent the gathering of miasma.

Xie Xiaoyu looked very carefully, and what he was most interested in were the places where the scarlet letters were densely packed.

From noon to dusk, he seemed to have completely forgotten what he had said to the uncle before, and he had no intention of rushing to meet him at all.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, the figures of the uncle and the old mine man appeared on the street. One of them stood at the other end of the road, and the other stood at the other end of the road. When they passed a shop, they poked their heads to look, their faces full of anxiety. color.

When the old mine head saw Xie Xiaoyu first, his face immediately beamed with joy, and then he yelled across the road.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Xie Xiaoyu was startled, and he put down the Kanyu Atlas in his hand.

"Good thing, good thing, we met another mine head in the clubhouse. He is in a hurry and doesn't plan to stay in Tianbaozhou anymore, so he wants to sell the mine. His mine was opened five years ago, and it is still an old mine. New mine. Originally he asked for 300 million yuan, but Uncle He talked for a long time, and finally cut it down to 200 million yuan. We are looking for you everywhere, just waiting for you to pass, and the guarantor and circumstantial evidence are already waiting." The uncle said dryly, He picked up the teacup on the table, poured a glass of water, and drank it all in one gulp.

Xie Xiaoyu had no expression on her face.

He had already made up his mind. What the uncle said has nothing to do with what he needs. What he wants is not a mine, let alone a big mine, but a place for cultivation.

But he didn't intend to persuade, he was sure that the uncle and the old mine boss would listen, but there would always be a grudge between these two people.

It is more convenient to use deception than waste of words.

He casually took out three copper coins from his pocket, and threw them on the table with a clatter.

The three copper coins spun around a few times and lay flat on the table.

Glancing at the copper coin, Xie Xiaoyu frowned, and asked coldly, "Have you ever inquired about the authenticity?"

Seeing this posture, the uncle and the old miner lost their previous joy. Although they didn't understand the meaning of the three copper coins, they could guess that they were divination and asking for good luck.

"I asked, I even checked the output of that mine over the past few years, and I also asked people I know. It is definitely a big mine. I was also worried that that person owed someone a debt and had paid out the mine. Already? But these can be written clearly on the document, the document stipulated by the government is more effective than any debt." The old mine owner thought that he had taken precautions against all possibilities, and nothing big would happen.

"Have you ever asked, has there been a large number of dead people in that mine recently?" Xie Xiaoyu took the copper plate back.

The faces of the uncle and the old mine boss suddenly changed. Compared with their own lives, any big mine or new mine is worthless.

"Brother, what did you see?" The uncle became nervous. He was also a little skeptical at first, and always felt that it was impossible for the pie to fall from the sky, but then he thought again. Good things happened again and again, and he himself became a monk. It can be seen that his fortune was very prosperous during these days, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

"This is an extremely vicious hexagram, and there is no return for a hundred deaths." Xie Xiaoyu didn't explain much, he turned his head to Su Tuozhu and said, "Can you do me a favor and find out who that person is?" What's going on? It seems like a bit of a coincidence to leave in such a hurry, could someone have made such a game specially?"

Hearing the extremely vicious hexagram, there is no return to death, the faces of the uncle and the old mine head were already pale, and after hearing the words that followed, they lost all thoughts.

Su Mingcheng also knew nothing about divination, and he couldn't understand it either, but he knew something more than the other two, so he understood the meaning of the second half of the sentence.

Seeing that the uncle and the old mine head were frightened, Xie Xiaoyu said slowly: "There is no need to believe what other people say, I have already found the place, and it is not far from Linhai City, and it only takes five days to take the flying ship. "

He looked at the maps all afternoon, and he already had several choices in his mind, and he planned to choose again, but now that he encountered such a thing, he no longer hesitated.

As he spoke, he pointed to one of the pictures.

The uncle couldn't understand it, Su Mingcheng didn't care at all, but the old mine head looked at it carefully, and after finishing it, his originally pale face turned a little paler.

"This...isn't this Valley of Lost Souls? I know there are mines there, and it's still a rich mine, but when I was young, no one dared to go there. The place is extremely dangerous, full of poisonous insects and monsters, miasma It's heavy, and the danger level is third class." The old mine owner thought that this kind of place could be called extremely vicious, and there was no return for death.
