After a night of feasting, all the disciples went back to their cabins to sleep. When I woke up the next day, the flying boat had stopped. The place has arrived. Zhao Hong washed and dressed under the service of the virgin sent by his master. When I came out again, I saw a group of simple wooden houses below. There was a large open space next to it. The snow had been cleared away, and I knew that this was used to park the flying boats. "Let's go down and say hello to the fellow disciples who are staying behind." Zhao Hong ordered. Taoist Ruiming immediately recited a spell and controlled the flying boat to land steadily in the open space. A group of disciples immediately began to carry various magical instruments and equipment needed for mining, as well as various supplies and daily necessities needed to establish a permanent settlement. Zhao Hong also got off the flying boat at this time and greeted the prospectors who stayed behind. The ones who stayed here and built these wooden houses to live in for a short period of time were the explorers who discovered this mineral deposit this time. After seeing the flying boat docked with the banners of the Sixteen Morning Stars of the Snow Jade Sky Ridge, they all came over. Seeing Zhao Hong, the leader, approaching, they also went up to meet it. The two of them greeted each other, and after greetings, Zhao Hong asked: "My fellow disciples have discovered such a large vein of cold iron ore this time. It is really a great achievement for your hard work. I wonder if after returning to the mountain gate, Brother Xuanxin will reward you well. I will go ahead here." Congratulations." The prospectors had already gotten the news and knew Zhao Hong's identity. The leader heard the words and said repeatedly: "I don't dare. This prospecting is not too difficult. The second thing is to use the treasure-seeking rat to search for it in detail. The strength I exerted is really not too great, so I can¡¯t deserve such praise from my uncle.¡± ¡°The magic of searching for spiritual veins, as well as the treasure-seeking rat. Don¡¯t you all need me to wait for the monks to operate? And trekking in this wilderness day and night is very unbearable. It can be said that you all deserved to be treated with more courtesy. Then he bowed again: "Besides, if you hadn't found this mine, it wouldn't have been easy for me to find a suitable job. In this way, you are also kind to me, and I am naturally grateful." Everyone likes to hear good words. , this is especially true for Zhao Hong¡¯s kind words with great emotion. After hearing this, all the prospectors were very happy, and they looked at Zhao Hong much more pleasing to the eye. So, after the mining people arrived, they could take the flying boat back to resume their lives. Because of Zhao Hong¡¯s words, dozens of them stayed here for a few more days. The colleagues who helped with the mining had all settled down, and then they were ready to leave. Zhao Hong held another farewell banquet for this purpose. Zhao Hong has a small number of 300 people in charge, and including the prospecting staff, the number exceeds 300. At this moment, the mineral deposits have not yet been mined, and there are no buildings on the ground that can accommodate so many people. So Zhao Hong made further arrangements and arranged the banquet in the flying boat. Seeing that this very good treasure was going to carry the prospecting disciples away tomorrow, Zhao Hong felt a little reluctant to part with it. Fortunately, this flying boat can come once a month to transport supplies to the mining disciples. Will be able to see it again soon. But what happened next made Zhao Hong¡¯s reluctance quickly dissipate. At this banquet, under the influence of alcohol, the leader of the mine exploration, Taoist Xin Ming, said this to Zhao Hong with a smile. Because there are too many vague whispers and gibberish with unclear meanings mixed in. So Zhao Hong filtered it in his mind and left only some useful ones: Where the Xueyu Tianling earth veins meet, the place with the strongest spiritual energy is the Xueyu Immortal Mansion. Originally, the areas too close to Xueyu Immortal Mansion had not been explored much, and the people in power in Xueyu Tianling still had a sense of sustainable development. So this exploration was very surprising. And it is not too far away from the intersection of the earth veins of Xueyu Immortal Mansion, and a mineral vein has been discovered. It should have contained better mineral deposits, and the reserves should not be so small. The current situation is very strange. They wanted to continue exploring, but Shanmen rejected their application and asked them to go back as soon as possible. This one is even stranger. The last point should be the most important. Generally speaking, where these earth veins pass, dragons and tigers meet, and the spiritual energy is rich enough to produce spiritual vein mineral deposits, there are usually some strange beasts and spiritual beasts living there, who use this as a basis for cultivation. Snow Jade Tianling is a vast area with few people, and practitioners of this lineage are not concerned about themselves. They even have their own industry and management, which is enough to be self-sufficient and still have a surplus. Therefore, Xueyu Tianling is not like other cultivation sects who like to hunt around, kill spiritual beasts, skin and bones, and then refine medicine and make weapons. And these spiritual beasts practice in the vast snowy mountains, where the spiritual energy is rich, and their strength is relatively strong. They can also play a certain role when the Xuanbingyang evil invades once every thirty years. Logically speaking, there should be a community or more spiritual beasts living around this kind of mineral deposit.?, perched. However, they prospectors searched around and found nothing. Did they move away? Hiding? Or was he killed by someone? Don't know this. No trace at all. "So, Uncle Hanshui, you have to be careful and make sure you don't make a big mistake. It doesn't matter if the mine fails, but don't risk your life!" After saying these words seriously, Xuan Xinzi's ninth disciple , Taoist Xinming, who had been getting along well with Zhao Hong for a while, got drunk and fell to the ground unconscious. ¡ª¡ªWith these words, Zhao Hong¡¯s kindness to these prospecting disciples these days is worth it! "Go, send your senior brother away and have a good rest." Zhao Hong waved his hand and ordered several outer disciples of Taoist Xinming to carry him away. It was already the second half of the banquet, and most of the people either left the table or drank too much and were confused where they were sitting or lying down. Although Zhao Hong drank a few more drinks, he had a good drinking capacity and was not drunk. He actually listened to what Taoist Xinming said. "This matter is not simple. Could it be that Senior Brother Xuanxin wants to harm me? No, I have no enmity with him. If we have a grudge in two months could it be that boy Song Renshu?" He thought about it. I couldn't figure it out, but it was hard to wake up Taoist Xinming again and ask again. Then he walked away from the banquet. It was already late at night. Zhao Hong looked up at the sky and saw only stars in the sky. He didn't know which one was his original home. He raised his neck and looked at it for a long time, then he remembered that his master had said that the obscure star he lived in was obscure and generally invisible in the Xuanyuan world "It's really forget it, the car must be in front of the mountain." There is a way." After Zhao Hong finished speaking, he shook his head and left. By the next day, Taoist Xinming and his gang left after all. There was no chance for Zhao Hong to ask him any questions. He even said: I drank too much yesterday. If I said something wrong, please forgive me for denying it intentionally or unintentionally. Seeing him like this, Zhao Hong knew that he would not answer if he asked him anything else, so he simply stopped asking. I just wish you a safe journey. Then these people were sent away. Maybe it was an illusion or something, Zhao Hong felt that Taoist Xinming relaxed a little after the flying boat started. "Of course it's not an illusion. I just want to comfort myself when I say it - that bastard really looked relieved." In the simple wooden house, Zhao Hong and his only close confidant, Taoist Ruiming, told him just now that he My thoughts after seeing Taoist Xinming¡¯s expression. Then he told Taoist Ruiming what he told him last night when he was drunk. Taoist Ruiming took a breath after hearing this: "If this is really the case, our current situation is a bit bad." "I know it is not good, the question is what should we do now." Zhao Hong slightly He asked looking a little impatient. Then Taoist Ruiming shook his head: "I don't know." Taoist Ruiming answered simply: "We don't even know who our opponent is. What else can we do?" "Just be more careful." Zhao Hong thought about it for a while. That's it, so he told me. It can be said that there is no other way to say such things under such circumstances. So, in the next few days, Zhao Hong organized people to put up many alarm talismans around the expanded residence. These talismans can easily distinguish the nature of mana and spiritual energy. Those who have practiced and refined their mana will be fine if they pass by. However, those born and raised only absorb spiritual energy and do not convert magical energy into spiritual beasts. When the monsters pass by, they will explode as a warning. After that, continue the search. Xinming Daoren and other explorers had already explored the area around the mining area, and also drew a map for Zhao Hong. It marked the mountains and rivers and the places they had patrolled - "already patrolled", not "no danger". This point needs to be clearly distinguished. However, there are only a small number of them, and this mining area is too big Just a shallow mineral vein that has been explored is already more than ten miles long. If you include branches, I am afraid it can cover hundreds of miles. In the range. The surveyors have patrolled only half of them. But for some demons that can fly or run fast, hundreds of miles are nothing, they can be there in a moment. In other words, even if we are stationed in the mining area now, it cannot be considered absolutely safe. After understanding these situations, Zhao Hong felt even more uneasy. Looking at the vast snowfield, it seemed as if there were invisible murderous intentions lurking everywhere.
