I can strengthen infinitely

Chapter 123 [122] Gold Mine

Yunmengjian is a relatively deep place in Meteorite Mountain.

This place shows the original landform, the ancient trees are flourishing and dense, the branches are as dense as a canopy covering the sky, and the trees are more than ten feet high, which is extremely shocking.

At the same time, there are naturally many poisonous insects and beasts.

Everywhere you can see rare strange birds combing their feathers with their beaks on the treetops, or looking for lice on their companions.

Palm-sized centipedes wriggled on the ground, but it wasn't long before they were sucked into their mouths by a large toad that was the size of a washbasin and lay in the dark.

It can be said that this is a harsh place that is completely impossible for mortals to survive.

Snapped!
A dead branch broke under Qin Yuesheng's feet.

"How far is Yunmengjian?" Qin Yuesheng asked Zhao Ding who was leading the way.

"Hurry up, as long as you pass the hurdle in front, you will be Yunmengjian." Zhao Ding responded by slapping a spider that landed on his shoulder with a slap.

"I used to live in this kind of place when I came here. No wonder he has been doing evil for so long, and no one can find him. Normally, even the bandits in Meteor Mountain would not come here in this poor country." Qin Yuesheng thought to himself.

Although Meteor Mountain is huge, not every place is suitable for setting up a camp. Naturally, there are harsh terrains and environments. Even bandits are reluctant to approach, and Yunmengjian is one of them.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a wolf jumped out from the bushes and bit Qin Yuesheng's body.

Qin Yuesheng slashed with a knife, and the wolf was split in half before it even got close to his body.

Along the way, the two encountered many attacks like this, but none of them posed any threat to Qin Yuesheng.

After several hundred steps forward, when he really passed the hurdle that Zhao Ding mentioned, the scenery in front of Qin Yuesheng suddenly changed. The dense forest had come to an end. Behind this ridge, there was actually a small stream of clear water flowing slowly.

The stream flows from the upper reaches, and many deer and beasts are drinking by the stream.

"This is Yunmengjian. I really don't know where I live, so I can't show you the way." Zhao Ding said sincerely.

Qin Yuesheng nodded: "I believe in you."

"Then I can leave now..."

boom!
Before Zhao Ding could finish speaking, Qin Yuesheng slapped him unconscious, then took off his clothes, tied him up, and hung him on the top of a big tree.

"After I've found Laiye, I'll let you go again." Qin Yuesheng left a sentence before running up the Yunmeng Stream.

Zhao Ding had forged and hammered his tendons, his skin and flesh could already block swords, but the beasts and poisonous insects in the forest had nothing to do with him.

……

The water stream in the forest has a pleasant scenery.

But Qin Yuesheng didn't pay attention to this. After running along the upstream for a while, a very simple wooden house immediately caught his attention.

It is definitely impossible for ordinary people to build a wooden house in a place like Yunmengjian, associating with the information Zhao Ding said, so it is very likely that the owner of this wooden house is me.

Qin Yuesheng walked directly towards the cabin, while concentrating on listening to the movement around him. Under Qin Yuesheng's 100.0 spirit, he heard all the troubles and grasses.

When I came outside the cabin, I could see a large amount of dried meat strung by straw ropes, and then hung one by one under the eaves. Next to the dried meat, there were vegetables such as radishes and bamboo shoots, which looked a bit like a farmhouse.

It's hard to imagine a flower picker living in such a place.

Just as Qin Yuesheng stretched out his hand to push open the door, he heard a sudden sound of breaking through the air behind him, and he immediately turned around and slashed out, hitting the object.

Keng!
Sparks burst out, and it turned out to be a cross-shaped dart!

"I'm coming too?" Qin Yuesheng shouted to the surroundings.

From behind the trees not far away, a one-eyed man slowly came out. He stared at Qin Yuesheng fiercely: "No guests are welcome here."

"I didn't come here to be a guest." Qin Yuesheng observed the other party once, and the information on this person and the information given to him by Minminfang had a different posture in the description of "I'm here".

The one-eyed man pulled out the two swords in the scabbards behind his waist, and rushed towards Qin Yuesheng quickly without saying a word.

Qin Yuesheng saw that this person was quick on his feet, so he was a good player.

It's just that for him now, warriors who have not yet reached the realm of internal strength...

All are ants.

The one-eyed man instantly unleashed both swords, all killing moves.

Qin Yuesheng swept out the knife horizontally, the energy of the knife was like a flood, and the strength of the knife was astonishing.

The one-eyed man couldn't resist Qin Yuesheng's strength at all, he only felt his arms shake in an instant, and he couldn't help taking a few steps back.

"Where am I coming from?" Qin Yue asked forcefully after taking a step forward.

But this person is like a wild beast, knowing that his strength is not as good as Qin Yuesheng, he still keeps slashing with his two swords, Qin Yuesheng frowned, swung his knife and slashed, the one-eyed man's arms were cut off by Qin Yuesheng in an instant, but there was no way to do it again attacked.

With the ending already decided, the one-eyed man bit his mouth hard, and saw blood gushing out of his mouth immediately, and then he completely lost his movement.

Qin Yuesheng stretched out his hand to touch his nose, and there was no breath left.

"I'm sick. I'm just asking a question. As for those who don't move, they commit suicide." Qin Yuesheng looked puzzled.

How stubborn this person's character is, it's unbelievable how strong he is.

There was no other way, Qin Yuesheng could only walk into the house by himself, intending to look for any clues related to my coming.

The wooden house was a little dark, but since it was still daytime, it was hard to see anything.

As soon as he walked into the house, he saw that there were a lot of tools in the house, such as hoes and iron picks, which were basically things that could be seen in the mine.

A strong earthy smell filled the air, as if someone had dug out the wet soil buried deep in the ground.

Looking for the source of this smell, Qin Yuesheng discovered that there was a big hole here. The hole was dark and deep, and he didn't know where it would lead.

There are obvious traces of soil transportation beside the hole. Someone should have transported the soil dug out of the ground to other places.

"What the hell am I doing here?" Qin Yue was curious, and then took out the fire folder and threw it into the cave.

After falling more than two feet deep, Huo Zhezi hit the ground with a thump.Thanks to such a high altitude, the torch was extinguished immediately after it hit the ground.

However, the light of the fire before it was extinguished was enough for Qin Yuesheng to see clearly the situation below, it seemed to be a mine-like existence.

Qin Yuesheng jumped down in one step.

Keng!Keng!Keng!
Entering the cave, I heard the clanging sound of iron tools coming from a mine not far away.

Qin Yuesheng hurriedly walked in that direction.

There was a faint fire in the mine, and shadows were reflected by the fire on the smooth rock wall of the mine. When Qin Yuesheng passed the first corner, three skinny men appeared in his eyes.

I saw these three men with unkempt hair and unkempt faces, holding iron picks in their hands and constantly beating against the rock wall. Several bamboo baskets were placed on the ground, and many ores of different sizes were stored in them.

These ores faintly exude a golden light under the firelight, as if they are... gold ores!

Boom!

Seeing Qin Yuesheng's appearance, the man who noticed him immediately dropped the pick in his hand to the ground in surprise, his lips were trembling, but he couldn't speak.

"Who are you, do you know that I'm here?" Qin Yuesheng still asked proactively.

"Help, help, help us, take us out."

The three men came to their senses, regardless of the gravel on the ground, they knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to pray.

Qin Yuesheng asked: "Don't worry, tell me what's going on, why are you digging gold mines here?"

A man immediately wept with joy, and told what had happened to him while crying.

It turned out that Liu Xian, the governor of Yangzhou Prefecture, had an illegitimate son among the people. Because of Liu Xian's wife's very strong relationship, he did not dare to take the illegitimate son home, so he had to put him in a civil servant's family to raise him.

Although Liu Xian couldn't make this illegitimate son recognize his ancestors, he treated him very highly and doted on him extremely.

Therefore, this illegitimate child has developed the behavior of being fearless and extremely licentious.

A few months ago, among Liu Xian's disciples was a strange person who specialized in geological survey. He found out that there was a huge gold mine underground in Meteor Mountain in Qingyang City. If he could get it, it would not be a problem to be rich.

Don't look at Liu Zhizhang's licentiousness, but his ability to handle affairs is excellent, and his personal ability is also very good. At the age of 16, he established a private gang with a pair of fists. The momentum is not small, and he can compete with many old gangs with a long history Do a contest.

In addition, the identity of this illegitimate child is rarely known except Liu Xian himself, so Liu Xian handed over the matter to his illegitimate son Liu Zhizhang, and asked him to come to Meteor Mountain to secretly mine the gold mine. .

These thin and skinny miners were secretly captured by Liu Zhizhang from the villages and towns near Meteor Mountain.

And the one-eyed man who just attacked Qin Yuesheng outside is a thug in Liu Zhizhang's gang, and he has the responsibility of 'supervising the work' if he stays here.

Qin Yuesheng also learned from these miners that this place is not the main vein of the huge gold mine, but just a small branch, but even so, the gold content is quite rich.

Liu Zhizhang is naturally lustful, and he has sex with women every night. Anyway, no one in this area of ​​Qingyang City knows him, so he added the identity of "I'm here".

"Secretly mining gold mines, the governor of Yangzhou Prefecture, Liu Xian, definitely has a lot of ambitions." Qin Yuesheng secretly thought.

Since ancient times, if you have money, you have soldiers, if you have soldiers, you have power, and if you have power, you can sit on the throne.

Once Liu Xian's little trick is discovered by the court, it will be a catastrophe, and it will not be a problem to implicate the nine clans.

"Where is that Liu Zhizhang, do you know?" Qin Yuesheng asked.

"I don't know. He doesn't have a fixed place to live. He occasionally comes here to see our results. I only see him once or twice a month." The miner said.

"Okay, then I will rescue you first. After this matter is out, you must remember not to publicize it, or your lives will be lost."
