It was impossible to carry four million taels of silver with them casually, so that afternoon, they took the flying ship to Linhai City again. This time there were four people, including an old miner. The ship was very crowded, and many people were unwilling to work anymore when they learned that a new mine had arrived.
Once on the boat, Xie Xiaoyu and Captain Su were still the same as before, each occupying a corner, one kept playing with a sword talisman, and the other concentrated on warming up the sword talisman. Su Mingcheng had already refined a natal sword talisman, but he didn't convert his true energy into sword energy like Xie Xiaoyu. Of course, Xie Xiaoyu couldn't tell him that this was another training method. He only said that it was a transition method that he had conceived so that he would not waste time.
Su Mingcheng had no doubt that he was there, but now he had been fooled by the series of attacks from Xie Xiaoyu and his own hall master. He also wanted to enrich himself, so when he was in Linhai City, he bought Buddhist and Taoist classics such as the "Tao Te Ching", "The Book of Changes" and "The Prajna Sutra". Unfortunately, he only read it for one night and he couldn't stand it anymore. Early the next morning, he threw these scriptures to Uncle Chang and used them as fire starters. From then on, whenever Xie Xiaoyu asked him to practice, he followed it and was more obedient than his apprentice.
The uncle accompanied the old miner at first, but when he saw the other two working hard, he couldn't sit still anymore and simply ran to the cargo hold to practice strength while holding the iron box containing the spindles.
The old miner saw these three people practicing hard with his own eyes and refused to waste any time. He became more and more determined and he no longer worried that these people would cross the river and burn the bridge. While he breathed a sigh of relief, he was also envious, and the old man's mind also became active.
Two days later, the spaceship landed.
This time it was very early, not even noon.
After getting off the boat, Xie Xiaoyu took a bag, handed it to the uncle, and then said: "You and the mine leader go to the club together, treat those important people to a meal, and take care of things. I mainly leave this matter to the mine leader."
That bag is full of money.
He has dozens of ingots in his hand, each of which weighs about a hundred catties. Red Fire Copper is copper in name, but it is more expensive than gold. This bag of red fire money was made by himself using a mold from the mine.
"When will you come over?" The uncle was unsure. If something big happened, he couldn't decide without thanking Xiaoyu.
¡°I went to Xinle Hall to borrow money, it won¡¯t waste much time.¡± Xie Xiaoyu said.
The uncle was silent. Borrowing money was a big deal. Four million taels of silver was not a small amount. He had never dared to dream of that much money before.
We stopped two two-wheelers on the street. The uncle sat on them with bags in his hands. Although he had become a monk, he was still a bit rustic. There was a storage bag hanging on his waist, but he refused to put anything important in it. I always feel like it¡¯s not safe.
Xie Xiaoyu shook her head helplessly. It was impossible for her uncle to change his temper. Even if he succeeded in cultivation in the future, he would not look like a monk.
"Are you interested in Shingle Hall?" Captain Su was a little surprised.
"I sent them away just to discuss with you where to locate the mining area?" 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 filled with mud again. He shouldn't ask him about this kind of thing.
"Do you think I am someone interested in mining?" Xie Xiaoyu asked.
"It doesn't look like it." Su Mingcheng shook his head.
"I want to take this opportunity to find a place suitable for practicing. It is best to have a high-quality spiritual vein, more medicinal materials nearby, and some monsters that I can use to practice my sword." These words must not be said in front of others. The old mine manager said, otherwise he would have some ideas.
Su Mingcheng was not surprised. Mining was not something that monks should consider. Using the name of a mining area to find a good place for cultivation was in line with what monks did.
"How do you know where there are spiritual veins? It's impossible to go through all of Tianbao Prefecture, right?" Su Mingcheng knew that Xie Xiaoyu knew the art of looking for spiritual veins, so he was not worried at all about finding spiritual veins, but no matter how powerful the psychic Qi magic also requires on-site investigation. It is impossible to find spiritual veins from a map.
"It's very simple. Wherever the evil spirit is strong, there may be spiritual veins. The heaven and earth produce all things, and there is a balance of yin and yang. There must be detoxification products next to highly poisonous things, and medicinal materials that are hot and dry must be produced in bitter and cold places."
Xie Xiaoyu¡¯s casual reasoning made Su Mingcheng have no idea at all, and only felt that he had read too little.
If you want to know the evil spirit branch, it is too simple. All the gangs in Tianbao Prefecture have a set of maps, which were left behind when the various sects surveyed this place in the early years. They were added and revised every ten years. Never stopped again.
??A lot of stuff came over.
First, he slapped a thick stack of banknotes on the table. Captain Su said, "Count them. After counting, help me write an IOU."
Xie Xiaoyu likes this very much. Everyone is just doing business and does not owe each other any favors. He also put himself first as a villain and then as a gentleman. He picked up the banknotes and started counting them.
There are two types of banknotes, one is for 200,000 yuan, with a total of fifteen pieces, and the other is for 10,000 yuan, which is a thick stack. All the banknotes were stamped Chase.
After counting and putting it away, Xie Xiaoyu asked Dr. Cha to get a pen and paper, and quickly wrote an IOU, which stated that the interest would be 20% and the settlement would be half a year.
Dry the note and hand it to Captain Su.
Captain Su carefully folded it and stuffed it into his pocket. Pay him back the money in the future. If he still can't pay it out, burn the IOU. It's a big favor, so this thing is very important.
After putting away the IOU, Captain Su spread out all the volumes of atlas in his hand.
These albums are finely drawn on yellow silk using gongbi techniques. They are not large but very long. Tianbao Prefecture is divided into more than 3,700 small blocks based on a radius of a hundred miles. Each block has a picture. There are mountains, rivers, and dots of red marks. Some of these marks represent barbarian tribes, some represent the gathering of monsters, and some represent the gathering of miasma.
Xie Xiaoyu looked at it very carefully. What interested him most were the places with dense red letters.
From noon to evening, he seemed to have completely forgotten what he had said to his uncle before, and had no intention of rushing over to join them.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, the uncle and the old miner appeared on the street. One of them stood at one end of the road, and the other stood at the other end of the road. When they passed a shop, they looked around, their faces full of worry. color.
The old mine manager saw Xie Xiaoyu first, and his face suddenly beamed with joy, and then he shouted across the road.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Xie Xiaoyu was alarmed, and he put down the Kanyu Atlas in his hand.
"Good thing, good thing. We met another mine leader in the club. He was in a hurry and didn't plan to stay in Tianbao Prefecture anymore, so he wanted to get the mine out. His mine was opened five years ago, and it was still a mine. The new mine. He originally offered three million, but Uncle He negotiated for a long time and finally got it to two million. We are looking for you everywhere, and we are waiting for you to come over. The guarantor and the evidence are already waiting." Uncle He said, his mouth was dry. Feeling dry, 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 has 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 to practice.
But he had no intention of persuading him. He was sure that the uncle and the old miner would listen, but these two people would always have a grudge in their hearts.
Rather than wasting a lot of words, it is better to cheat.
He casually took out three copper coins from his pocket and threw them on the table with a clatter.
The three copper coins rolled around a few times and lay flat on the table.
After taking a look at the copper coins, 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 did not understand the meaning of the three copper coins, they could guess that they were doing divination to ask about bad luck.
"I have 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 the person owed someone a debt and had used the mine to pay it off. But these can be written clearly in the documents. The documents drawn up by the government are more effective than any other debt." The old miner thought that he had taken precautions against all possibilities and nothing big would happen.
"Have you ever asked whether a large number of people have died in that mine recently?" Xie Xiaoyu took the copper plate back.
The expressions of the uncle and the old mine manager suddenly changed. Compared with their own lives, all big and new mines are worthless.
"Brother, what do you see?" The uncle became nervous. He was a little skeptical at first, always feeling that it was impossible for pie to fall from the sky, but then he thought again, since he came to Tianbao Prefecture, he met the brother as soon as he got off the boat, and then Good things happened one after another, and he himself became a monk. It can be seen that his luck was extremely good during these days, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
"This is an extremely evil hexagram, and there will be no return to death." Xie Xiaoyu didn't explain much. He turned to Captain Su and said, "Can you do me a favor and find out who that person is?" What's going on? It seems too much of a coincidence that he left so urgently. Could someone have made such a move? "
Hearing the extremely evil and evil hexagram, there will be no return to death, the uncle and the old miner turned pale, and when they heard the next words, they??There are no more thoughts.
Su Mingcheng also knew nothing about fortune telling, and he couldn't understand it either. However, he knew a few things more than the other two, so he understood the meaning of the second half of the sentence.
Seeing that the uncle and the old miner were frightened, Xie Xiaoyu said slowly: "There is no need to believe what others say, I have already found the place, it is not far from Linhai City, and it only takes five days by flying spaceship. "
He had been looking at the Kanyu map all afternoon, and he already had several choices in his mind. He originally planned to choose again, but now that he encountered such a thing, he no longer hesitated.
As he spoke, he pointed at one of the pictures.
The uncle couldn't understand. Su Mingcheng didn't care at all, but the old mine manager looked at it carefully. Once he saw it, his originally pale face turned a little whiter.
"Thisisn't this Valley of Lost Souls? I know there are mines there, and it's a rich mine, but when I was young, no one dared to go there. The place was extremely dangerous, filled with poisonous insects, monsters, and miasma. It's heavy, and the danger level is level three." The old mine manager thought that this kind of place is extremely dangerous, and there is no chance of recovery.
