Chapter 182 Mining competition
"Come again."
Kou Zhong wanted to catch up with the snake, but Zhang Baisui suddenly reminded him: "Someone is coming."
The three of them subconsciously restrained their auras and hid among the branches and leaves of the dense trees.
After a few breaths, about 200 meters away, there was a young man wearing a monk's robe rushing towards the northwest.
Every time he steps on the branches and leaves to use force, he can jump nearly 100 meters away. The frequency of jumps is not low. The overall movement speed is very fast. The large robe hangs in the air like a big flag in the strong wind.
, was pulled straight.
Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling and Zhang Baisui winked at each other and hid in the jungle in a tacit understanding, following the young man in Taoist robes from a distance.
About two-quarters of an hour later, the trees and vines in the jungle began to become sparse, and many obvious signs of cutting could be seen, which should be near human settlements.
The young man in Taoist robes seemed to have seen something, and his speed increased again. Zhang Baisui, Kou Zhong, and Xu Ziling stopped in the jungle, preparing to take a look at the situation first.
"Help me protect the law." Zhang Baisui sat cross-legged on the ground, and his thoughts turned into a warm wind, which passed through the gap in the forest invisibly and followed him.
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were on guard, guarding Zhang Baisui's body.
Among the 30 people selected by Yang Xuangan, except for the three people who were recruited by Shen Wansan's Chamber of Commerce through connections, there must be someone in each group who practices the magic of ghosts and immortals, and all of them have passed the Rizhao level.
It is convenient for various tracking and sneak exploration.
After Zhang Baisui followed the young man in Taoist robes for about half a quarter of an hour, the front suddenly became clear.
It is a large piece of flat land. At the other end of the flat land, there is a mountain ridge directly in front. If you look to the side, you can vaguely see the city wall not far away. On this flat land, there are currently many carts parked with oxen and horses tied to them.
, some carts are already filled with stones that are dark gray and dark red in color.
Between these carts, there were about thirty or forty people standing in an orderly manner, and besides these thirty or forty people, there were hundreds of people forming a circle, all facing inward.
Although there is no significant difference in the clothing of these people, they are clearly divided into two parties, the besiegers are on one side, and those guarding the carts are on the other side.
The two sides were now at war with each other, and some people still had blood on their bodies. When they saw the young men in Taoist robes approaching, the party guarding the cart seemed to suddenly have greater hostility. After a few angry curses, they started to take action.
.
"It turns out that you have already notified Wudang to call for reinforcements. It seems that you have already set your sights on our mine."
"Nonsense, this mine should clearly belong to us." The side surrounded by the outside had a numerical advantage, but they did not show any weakness at this time.
Weapons such as swords and shovels from both sides were swung at each other. During this fight, Zhang Baisui, who was hiding on one side in the form of a soul, couldn't help but let out a sigh in his heart.
The people on both sides are all powerful. It is normal for them to make a whirring sound when waving the weapons in their hands. Some of them have obviously practiced martial arts. A faint light covers their skin and pours into their hands.
weapons.
That is also the feeling of inner energy that Zhang Baisui is very familiar with.
But the next performance of these weapons made Zhang Baisui feel very strange.
These weapons, which are infused with a small amount of true energy, can only enhance the cutting power when striking, and are not even enough to release the first-rate air-striking sword energy.
But in fact, after being transformed by weapons, these people's shallow Qi directly transformed into extremely lethal elemental Qi, such as fire, electric current, ice needles, etc.
This doesn't look like an ordinary weapon, but more like a magic weapon from the Liaozhai world.
But Zhang Baisui's thoughts were swept away, and it was clear that these weapons did not have any signs of runes or spells inside and outside. They were just forged with the simplest iron forging technique. This technique
The crude ones are not even as good as the weapons forged by machine tools in the final travel world, and they are even less likely to have the ability to increase innate energy and turn decay into magic.
Then there is something special about the materials of these weapons themselves.
Zhang Baisui had no way of directly detecting the abnormality in the material, so he just silently wrote it down.
At this time, the young man in Taoist robes finally landed on the ground and shouted loudly.
"Stop!"
At the same time as he made this shout, he placed his right hand on the hilt of the sword and drew it. Suddenly, thirteen streams of light danced wildly in the air like lightning and flying pythons.
The attacks launched by the more than one hundred people, no matter which side they belonged to, were swept by the stream of light. Then their wrists were violently shaken, and their weapons fell to the ground. Everyone grabbed their wrists and screamed in pain.
"Song Qingshu, a disciple of the third generation of Wudang, is here only to distinguish right from wrong. He has no intention of being biased. Please be patient and calm."
Thirteen rays of flying light, like returning fish, fell into Song Qingshu's scabbard one after another. As the hilt of the sword was pressed down, the last bit of light was sealed.
"The Thirteen Swords of Shenmen, a good trick." A sharp sound similar to the roar of a golden eagle suddenly came from the distance.
A middle-aged man with a long and thin face wearing a cloak came flying from the mountains in the distance.
This man said he was running, but in fact he jumped down from the top of the mountain. His feet only waved in the air a few times, without touching the ground at all, and he glided across a distance of nearly a thousand meters to the foot of the mountain.
"It turns out to be Senior Yin Ye Wang." Song Qingshu clasped his hands in his fists and said with some courtesy, "Since Senior is also here, I think we can have a good talk about today's matters."
The people guarding the trolley saw that there were experts coming to their side, and they immediately started shouting.
"What's there to talk about? We discovered this mineral deposit and worked hard to open the mine. You people in Pingcheng asked us to hand over the ore and drove us away without any reason. Where in the world
Does this make sense?"
Song Qingshu frowned slightly and said: "That's not what I heard, Deputy City Lord Han."
Among those who carried out the siege, a wealthy middle-aged man who had not done anything just now hurriedly came over and said: "Qingshu, the thing is like this. Although they discovered this mineral deposit, it is on the boundary of our Pingcheng.
They dug holes and mined here without notifying the people in Pingcheng in advance. When we found out, we asked them to stop mining and leave Pingcheng's boundaries, but they refused, and that's when the dispute started."
King Yin Ye turned to look at the person responsible for mining here and said, "Is that so?"
The bald man with squinting eyes shook his head repeatedly and said: "The boundary monument of Pingcheng is eighty steps away from our mine. This mineral deposit is not on their boundary at all."
