235, The Heroes of the Hunt, the world is beautiful
Mu Qingxue was suspended in the air, leaning forward with her upper body, and her wings flapped lightly, like gold casts, like gorgeous feathers condensed by light, creating elegant tassel-like traces of light in the night.
Her soft and delicate, white and slender hands held Shen Lang's palm, and she unfolded her faceplate, revealing a pure, sweet, and incomparable jade-like face. The corners of her lips were raised, revealing a touching smile, and stars were shining in her clear and bright eyes.
Like a glow.
"I succeeded."
"I know. Congratulations."
"I wanted to be the first to share it with you, but I didn't see you after I came out of quarantine. I was a little unhappy."
"Sorry. But I have something to check."
"So I was just a little unhappy, but not angry."
Mu Qingxue smiled lightly, folded her golden wings, and slowly landed on the ground with her feet.
Then, the golden armor on her body first turned into layers of thin gold foils, quickly folded and compressed, and then turned into gold solution, flowing towards her wrists.
Finally, the entire seemingly thick and heavy golden battle armor turned into two golden wrist guards that were no more than two inches long and glowed with a faint purple light.
Shen Lang, of course, how good is the malleability of gold.
But the transformation of the entire armor into two small and exquisite gold wristbands was a bit beyond his imagination.
It’s almost like Iron Man’s Nano Suit!
Seeing Shen Lang's exclamation, Mu Qingxue smiled brightly and explained:
"This is a wristband forged with black gold sand. When I returned to Yingzhou from Jiange Island last year, didn't I pick up a small jar of black gold sand on the sea? After returning to Beijing, I asked Lord Yan to help me forge it.
I got this pair of wrist guards and activated them with Gang Qi to turn them into battle armor. As for the wings, I can directly use Gang Qi to manifest them."
Mu Qingxue, who had taken off her battle armor, was wearing a black men's suit.
By the way, the uniform of the God Catcher Hall is black, and the chief officers also like to wear black casual clothes.
This is because black is more solemn and solemn, and the second reason is that the arresters are on the go and black clothes are more likely to get dirty.
Thirdly, it is not easy to see blood splattered on black clothes, so there is no need to change or clean them frequently.
Of course, if one has reached Mu Qingxue's level of cultivation, even if he kills everyone in and out of a crowd of thousands of soldiers, he may not get a drop of blood on his body.
Shen Lang let go of Mu Qingxue's hand and raised his hand to caress her cheek:
"You came over to support me just after leaving the quarantine. Thank you for your hard work."
Mu Qingxue smiled sweetly, gently pressed the back of his hand with her palm, and rubbed her cheek against his palm:
"It is our duty to do so. By the way, how is the investigation going?"
Now that he got down to business, Shen Lang put down his hands and said seriously:
"Have Master Yan told you all the information I reported before?"
Mu Qingxue nodded slightly:
"I already know everything about this incident."
"Then I won't introduce the past, and just talk about the investigation after I came to Wuyang Mansion..."
Shen Lang started from the time when he went to investigate the "Wind Chasing Faction" and continued until he felt that there was something wrong with Member Hu, or the mines in Tongshan County as a whole.
When he was talking about his love story, he was also sighing in his heart. He couldn't even think about falling in love with Mu Qingxue.
The two of them usually practice separately, but when they get together, they talk about things other than practice.
But having said that, Shen Lang feels that this kind of relationship is quite good, at least more fulfilling.
After listening to Shen Lang's introduction, Mu Qingxue put one hand around her chest and the other against her chin, pondered for a while, and said:
"Is the situation at Hu's mine confirmed?"
"I'm waiting for you to come. I haven't gone to check it myself yet. But I have sent Xiaogu to check it out."
Mu Qingxue already knew that Xiaogu was a goblin raised by Shen Lang's family. She was not surprised when she heard this. She nodded slightly and looked at Shen Wu, who had his back to them all the time:
"Is he Shen Wu, the chief disciple of the Wind-Chasing Sect?"
"Yes." Shen Lang nodded and called to Shen Wu: "Brother Shen, this is Mu Qingxue Mu Baotou, the Divine Catcher."
Shen Wu was slightly shocked, and turned to look at Mu Qingxue, his eyes full of shock that could not be concealed.
"Ruthless Iron Judge" Mu Qingxue, one of the third-rank divine catchers of the Divine Catcher Hall, is the youngest third-rank warrior in the contemporary era. His talent is as dazzling as that of the last dynasty of the previous dynasty, when heroes were competing for hegemony. They emerged one after another and left their mark in the history books.
The peerless warrior whose name——
In troubled times, the struggle for hegemony is full of murderous intent, destiny is boiling, disputes are fierce, and blood is pouring into the sky.
Among warriors who have been tempered by long-term battles on the battlefield, the probability of a top-notch strongman emerging is much greater than in peaceful times. In just thirty years, five great masters of martial arts have appeared one after another.
As for third-grade warriors who are eighteen or nineteen years old or in their early twenties, there are even more.
Of course they die faster.
All of them are like shooting stars. They just rose up today and achieved amazing results. Tomorrow they might be surrounded by a bunch of people and beaten to death, or they might be killed by stronger people.
Mu Qingxue did not have as many bloody and cruel training opportunities as in the war years, but she reached the third level at the age of eighteen. Such a unique talent made countless people in the world envious and jealous.
There are also countless young warriors who regard her as their idol.
Of course, what Mu Qingxue is most famous for is not her martial arts talent.
But she is hard-headed and ruthless.
She was obviously a woman, but her attacks were extremely cruel and ruthless. She once wiped out twenty-seven bandit villages in Baiyan Mountain overnight and beheaded nearly a thousand bandits. She even had the term "Ruthless Iron Sentence".
It's a very unfriendly title for women.
Of course, after Shen Wu came into contact with Shen Lang, he felt that the title given by the Jianghu people was most likely to smear and slander him.
Shen Langchen arrests the head, a person who is so eager for justice and has a heart of Bodhisattva, is actually given the title of "cold-blooded massacre". Mu Qingxue's "ruthless iron judge" obviously does not represent her true character.
Character.
but……
Mu Baotou is really beautiful and strong!
Shen Wu felt that he might never forget the scene of Mu Qingxue falling from the sky.
That majestic golden battle armor, those gorgeous and majestic golden wings, that god-like aura...
Shen Captou is so lucky!
To show affection in front of me, a bachelor, or to show affection to Mu Baotou, I really want to give him a knife!
Shen Wu thought to himself and bowed his hands to Mu Qingxue:
"Shen Wu from the Wind Chasing Faction, pays homage to Mu Baotou."
In front of outsiders, Mu Qingxue returned to her habitual cold and majestic look, and said calmly: "No need to be polite."
Then he said to Shen Lang:
"Cheng Xin, you were the first to discover the murder of Guan Yue and investigate it all the way, so the rest of the investigation will also be led by you. I am only responsible for doing it."
Shen Lang nodded:
"Okay. Next, let's find out the problems in the mining area."
After a pause, he said again:
"Xiaogu is back, let's first ask it what it found."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a transparent skeleton floating in the night ahead.
After floating in front of Shen Lang, the ghost-like phantom of the skeleton suddenly turned from virtual reality to a small skeleton with bones as crystal clear as jade and glowing with glazed luster.
When I first saw this little skeleton, even with the courage of Shen Wu, I couldn't help but be slightly frightened.
At the same time, he also remembered that when he exited the valley before, Shen Lang waved his hand towards the valley, as if he had released something.
Now it seems that what he released was exactly this little skeleton that can turn into a shadow.
"As expected, all the head catchers of the Divine Catcher Hall have great magical powers! No wonder there are rumors in the world that every head catcher of the Divine Catcher Hall has the ability to defeat four or five of the same realms!"
When Shen Wu sighed secretly, Shen Lang said to the little skeleton:
"What did you see?"
The small bones and teeth opened and closed, and they clicked twice habitually to communicate with the mind what they saw to Shen Lang.
Shen Lang's eyes darkened and he looked at Mu Qingxue:
"Xiaogu said that the mine is still under construction, and both the miners who are working in the mine and those who have taken a break have shackles on their feet. There are supervisors underground, and they all look fierce. If the mining movement is slightly slow, there will be no trace of it.
Beat without mercy.
"Xiao Gu was still deep in the mine when he found a sinkhole. There were hundreds of corpses at the bottom of the sinkhole. Some had decomposed into skeletons, and some were newly dead. The newly dead were all as thin as skeletons.
, covered with scars, either starved to death, exhausted, or whipped and tortured to death."
Hearing this, Mu Qingxue's cold and bright eyes were filled with anger, and she said:
"The Hu family mine is a private mine. According to the law, slaves who have committed serious crimes and were sent to the mines for hard labor are not allowed to be used. Prisoners of war are also not allowed to be used."
Shen Lang nodded:
"Private mine owners can only recruit regular miners."
Mu Qingxue sneered:
"But according to what Xiaogu has seen, the miners in the Hu family copper mine are simply more ruthless than the slaves in the official mine who serve felons and prisoners of war."
For official mines, felons and prisoners of war do not deserve sympathy, but they are important free labor and can greatly save mine operating costs.
Besides, there are also strict regulations on the loss rate of felons and prisoners of war. If the loss exceeds the upper limit, the mine supervisor has to spend his own money to replenish manpower.
Therefore, although the government officials and mines also exploited felons and prisoners of war very harshly, at least they would not torture them to death easily.
Shen Lang said:
"It seems that regardless of whether Yuan Hu is related to the deaths of Cheng Xin and Guan Yue, his family's mines should be severely rectified. The entire private mines in Tongshan County should also be rectified."
Hearing this, Shen Wu looked ashamed:
"I introduced Junior Brother Cheng and Junior Sister Guan here because I didn't know the person well and I didn't conduct any on-the-spot investigation, so that they acted as an accomplice and made a big mistake..."
Shen Lang patted his shoulder lightly:
"Although Brother Shen made an oversight, it is excusable. After all, although you once wandered and begged when you were young, after you went up the mountain ten years ago, you were highly regarded by the head of Zhou and respected by your junior brothers and sisters. You lived a good life for ten years.
I'm afraid that I have gradually forgotten the sinister nature of people's hearts.
"Executive member Hu is a businessman, the kind who does shady business. Cheating is his instinct. Brother Shen is a warrior, and it is normal for him to be deceived by a shady businessman."
In fact, until now, Shen Lang still remains suspicious of Shen Wu - this is not a suspicion, but the basic qualities of a head catcher.
However, he somewhat believed that Shen Wu really didn't know the true situation of the Hu family's mine.
As the disciple with the highest martial arts among the younger generation of the Fengchai Sect, Shen Wu will definitely inherit the mantle of the leader and take charge of the sect in the future as long as he does not die prematurely.
The Feng Zhui Faction is at least the largest sect in Wuyang Mansion. It has many properties under its name. It wants money and land. It is also a Baidao sect that pays taxes according to regulations and obeys government management.
Why should Shen Wu, who has a bright future, collude with Hu Yuanwai to open a dark cave and stain himself?
Besides, if Shen Wu was really greedy for money, he would have saved Miss Hu's family the year before last. When Mr. Hu wanted to marry a daughter, he should have agreed. In Shen Lang's view, the logic behind Mr. Hu's marrying a daughter was by no means simple.
To repay Shen Wu's kindness of "hero saving beauty".
I am afraid that they want to use Shen Wu's identity as the leader of the Wind Chasing Faction to hook up with the Wind Chasing Faction and attract the Wind Chasing Faction as an ally.
It's a pity that Shen Wu was preparing to condense the Qi seeds and attack the fourth level at that time. Maybe he felt that women would only affect his speed in chasing the wind, so he declined Hu Yuanwai's kindness.
However, Hu Yuanwai did not become angry because of his "open-minded nature". He just wanted to maintain a friendly relationship with Shen Wu and slowly win over Shen Wu and then the followers of the storm.
Cheng Xin and Guan Yue took Shen Wu's recommendation letter and worked for only three months and immediately "made a lot of money". I'm afraid it was precisely because Hu Yuanwai had always had plans for Shen Wu and the Wind Chasers.
Shen Lang always likes to deduce various "possibilities".
At the beginning, Bai Shishi was overwhelmed by his "possibilities" one after another, which caused her confidence to collapse and her faith to collapse. She finally got on his boat and abandoned the darkness for the light.
And now, after confirming that there is indeed a ghost in the Hu family's mine, Shen Lang couldn't help but think about Yuan Hu over and over again, deducing various "possibilities" and trying to combine these possibilities with Cheng Xin and Guan Yue being captured and fed to the monsters.
Things are connected in series.
The four-winged demon owl's bird's nest is filled with bones...
Among those skeletons, although there are many warriors with tough and strong bones and at least the ability to "refining muscles and bones", most of them are ordinary people...
Member Hu opened a black kiln and illegally used slaves in the mines...
They didn't treat the mining slaves as human beings, exploited them arbitrarily, and threw them into the sinkhole when they died...
So, will all the mine slaves be tortured to death?
Is there a possibility that most of the mining slaves will be tortured to death and thrown into the sinkhole, while a small number of strong but extremely unruly mining slaves whose management costs are too high will be sent away?
other places?
Cheng Xin and Guan Yuexin have not been here for a long time, and they are also amateurs in the world of martial arts who have just started their careers. They are still young and may not be that vicious in character.
They may have only done security work outside the mine before and had never been into the mine. They knew a little about the miserable experience of the mine slaves, but they did not feel the same way. For the sake of money, they could turn a blind eye or close one eye.
.
But on the first or second day of the Lunar New Year, they returned to Tongshan County to work. In the mine or at the Hu family, they accidentally discovered something that was beyond their bottom line. The two conscience-stricken people decided to
What I did was accidentally exposed...
Well, Cheng Xin and Guan Yue thought too well about this possibility.
However, Shen Lang still preferred to believe in the glory of human nature.
After all, even among pirates there are heroes and there are people worth saving.
The storm chasers are more decent than the pirates, right?
Since it is a Bai Dao sect and it is not a demonic heretic, it will not teach disciples who are inhumane.
Although Cheng Xin and Guan Yue are eager to change their family situation, as eldest brothers and sisters who are willing to work tirelessly and work hard for their parents and younger siblings, they have a kind side that pities the weak in their nature.
It is possible to suddenly realize your conscience.
However, Shen Lang did not express this inference verbally.
There is no conclusive evidence, just based on few clues, and it is a bit unreliable to make wild guesses.
Even with the situation reported by Xiaogu, Shen Lang had to go into the mine to witness it with his own eyes and see how vicious these black hole diggers could be.
At that moment, Shen Lang said to Shen Wu:
"Brother Shen, please stay here and help us look out. I and Mu Captou sneaked into the mining area to investigate for ourselves."
Shen Wu nodded in agreement and watched Shen Lang and Mu Qingxue leave side by side under the guidance of the little skeleton that turned into a shadow again. Shen Wu didn't notice at all. When Shen Lang patted his shoulder to comfort him, he used a "Water Mirror to Identify Shadows"
The curse mark of "spell" was left on his shoulder.
He also didn't notice that after Shen Lang and Mu Qingxue walked forward for more than ten feet, a kitten silently jumped out from Shen Lang's palm, jumped into the woods beside the road, climbed to the treetops a few times, and stared at it eagerly from a distance of more than ten feet.
Staring at him.
"You don't trust him?"
After Mu Qingxue was promoted to the second level, the insight obtained by condensing the "Tianmu Point" became stronger, and he could see that Shen Lang had tampered with Shen Wu's shoulders.
As for releasing Xiao Zhao and monitoring Shen Wu, they did not hide it from her.
"I just have reasonable doubts about him. At present, Shen Wu's suspicion is relatively small, but it still cannot be said that he is completely without suspicion. I want to know if he will do something inappropriate when we are not around him."
"Well, that's how it should be."
"By the way Qingxue..."
"What did you call me?"
"...Muda people?"
"Well. When your strength surpasses mine, you can call me Qingxue, Sister Qing, Sister Xue, or Xue'er as you wish. You can also call me Xiaomu."
"..."
"By the way, what did you want to say before?"
"Already forgotten."
"Are you having trouble?"
"How could it be? I'm not a child. If you interrupt me, I really forgot what I wanted to say."
"Not a kid, but younger than me."
"..."
After a brief conversation through voice transmission, Shen Lang and Mu Qingxue gathered their energy and, under the guidance of Xiao Gu, easily avoided the Takou Fort Tower sentry and entered the valley.
Inside the valley, there are scattered houses, with a few regular wooden houses housing supervisors and guards. Inside the simple shacks, there are mine slaves who are half-clothed, covered in dirty skin, skinny and shackled, and their feet are shackled.
Almost every mining slave has old and new whip marks on his body.
Naturally, there are guards patrolling the valley at night. They are basically low-level third-level warriors. With Shen Lang and Mu Qingxue's cultivation, they can easily avoid their eyes and ears and sneak around in the valley at will to check the situation of the mining slaves.
After seeing the situation of the mine slaves, the two continued to sneak deeper and saw a three-story wooden building surrounded by a courtyard wall in the center of the valley.
Shen Lang was more than ten feet away and scanned the small building with his mental power. He was slightly startled:
"A sixth-grade warrior is guarding the door? Is there still a 'big shot' living in the building?"
There is a concierge on the first floor of the small building. In the concierge are two sixth-grade warriors. Their skills are quite profound and they are not far from the fifth-grade.
There were only two people on the third floor of the small building, one was just an ordinary person, and the other seemed to have an ordinary person's body and energy. However, when Shen Lang's mental power swept over that person, he noticed a faint fluctuation of his spiritual power.
Is he still a Taoist monk?
But a serious Taoist cultivator, even if he is only at the ninth level, as long as he practices formal visualization methods, he can control his spiritual power very well and will not easily escape and be noticed by others.
So, is he a wild monk?
Shen Lang informed Mu Qingxue of his discovery.
Mu Qingxue could sense the Qi of two sixth-grade warriors and two "ordinary people", but she could not sense the weak fluctuations of Yuanshen power.
Only by seeing it face to face with the naked eye can we see the clues with the insight given by the "Tianmu Point".
"Are you sure he's a monk? Even if he's just a wild monk, I'm afraid he won't be willing to help people guard the mines in this deep mountain and old forest. Unless he is originally from the Hu family."
"Not sure, just doubtful."
"Is it possible to judge the level of his cultivation?"
"No. But I can't even control my spiritual power well. I was spying on him from a distance but I didn't realize it. My cultivation level is only the third level."
"Then go to the mine to check first, and then come back to arrest this person for questioning?"
"good."
The two of them left the three-story wooden building for the time being and sneaked towards the entrance of the mine, guided by Xiao Gu, who transformed into a shadow.
Of course there are people guarding the wellhead.
Moreover, the wellhead is narrow and there is no room for detours.
But Shen Lang just casually cast a "soul-destroying curse", which made the two seventh-level warriors guarding the well entrance become stupid. Even though Shen Lang and Mu Qingxue swaggered past them, the two people did not make any reaction.
"The Hu family's mine is too strong to guard. There are four sixth-grade warriors, and more than ten seventh-grade warriors. There is also a monk who seems to be a wild man... The Hu family does not smelt in the mine.
The ore is all shipped out, and there are only a few natural copper nuggets in the mine. Is it worth being so heavily guarded?"
Regardless of the sixth-grade and seventh-grade warriors, they were vulnerable to Shen Lang and Mu Qingxue, but the sixth-grade warriors in a mere county were already considered to be strong men in the middle and upper classes.
You know, at the time there was not even a single arrester with sixth-level martial arts in the Changsheng County government office.
Even though there are copper mines in Tongshan County, which is far richer than Changsheng County and can afford to support more seventh- and sixth-grade warriors, is it necessary for Hu Yuanwai to use such a strong force to guard the mine?
Even those skinny miner slaves, even if hundreds of people swarmed them, could not defeat a sixth-level warrior in perfect condition.
Four sixth-grade warriors, more than ten seventh-grade warriors, plus one Taoist monk.
Can those who open copper mines stop treating money as money?
Mu Qingxue also felt suspicious and sent a message saying:
"Perhaps this is not an ordinary copper mine."
Shen Lang nodded:
"Xiao Gu's vision is different from that of living creatures. It's easy to find people, but he can't distinguish the ore. We will know the root cause once we see it ourselves."
The two of them went down into the mine, followed Xiaogu and sneaked along the mine tunnel, and came to the depths of the mine. As expected, they saw many mine slaves who were mining all night. There were also many vicious supervisors who patrolled everywhere with whips and whipped them.
After seeing the mine slaves working with their own eyes, Shen Lang and Mu Qingxue finally understood why the Hu family's mine was so heavily guarded.
I saw a mining slave go down with a pickaxe and knock off a stone. After the stone fell, a pit appeared on the wall of the mine, and suddenly, under the light of the hanging lamp, little golden lights flashed out.
This is not a copper mine, this is clearly a gold mine!
"No wonder the Hu family has to use such a strong force to guard the mine! No wonder they rush to start work on the second day of the Lunar New Year. No wonder the wages for the supervisors and guards are so high...it turns out to be a gold mine!"
Of course, this is not a pure gold mine. After all, there is a large amount of copper ore piled on the dock and in the yard outside the wellhead. The shallow layers of this mine should be copper mines, while the deep layers are gold mines.
After discovering the big secret of the Hu family mine, Shen Lang and Mu Qingxue did not alert the supervisors. The mine slaves, led by Xiaogu, continued to sneak deeper into the mine, and witnessed several gold ore being dug out, and
After digging out a small piece of nugget gold, I followed Xiao Gu into an abandoned mine tunnel.
After winding around the abandoned mine tunnel, I came to a sinkhole. When I looked inside, I saw that the sinkhole, which was more than twenty feet deep, was indeed filled with corpses.
"With these corpses alone, the Hu family would be able to kill every one of them."
Mu Qingxue's eyes flashed with evil intent.
In fact, Mu Qingxue had seen similar tragic scenes many times.
But no matter how many times she saw her, her heart never became numb and indifferent. She was as compassionate and compassionate as ever, and she hated evil as much as she hated it.
It is precisely because of her consistent innocent heart that Yan Tianying, who also has an innocent heart, regards her as the successor.
Shen Lang didn't say anything, just nodded silently, stretched out his hand to hold Mu Qingxue's hand, led her away from the sinkhole, and returned the same way.
After sneaking silently for a while, Mu Qingxue suddenly said:
"I know why that monk is willing to guard the mine in this deep mountain and old forest."
Shen Lang said: "Why?"
Mu Qingxue said:
"Gold mines will be accompanied by black gold mines. Although under normal circumstances, only large gold veins will be accompanied by a small amount of black gold, there are not exceptions. Occasionally, there will be some medium-sized or even small gold veins, which will be accompanied by black gold mines.
Wujin.
"Wujin is one of the very few natural spiritual golds in the mortal world. It has natural spirituality and can be directly used to forge swords and swords, and even to refine magical weapons without the need for smelting and forging by Taoist monks. It can also be used to upgrade weapons and magic.
The miraculous effects of weapon-level power.
"If this gold mine is really accompanied by black gold, then the Hu family can hire a wild monk with black gold as a reward."
Shen Lang muttered:
"Don't the Hu family themselves need Wu Jin?"
Mu Qingxue said:
"If the Hu family were just ordinary black-hearted mine owners, then gold would be enough. But Wujin is of no use to them, and will only cause trouble for them. It would be better to use this to lure a strong supporter."
Shen Lang nodded and said:
"But what if the Hu family is related to those who feed demons and eat people? They must be monks who can raise monsters like the four-winged demon lord. Wujin should be useful to them, right?"
Mu Qingxue frowned, thought for a while, and said slowly:
"Then what if that wild monk was sent by the demon-hunting man?"
Shen Lang smiled:
"That would be interesting."
What Mu Qingxue said is of course only a possibility.
It's also possible that the Hu family has nothing to do with the demoniacs at all.
Maybe the Hu family is just a gang of illegal mine owners who run private gold mines with no regard for human life.
But even so, the Hu family must be investigated as soon as possible and the mine slaves who were mostly abducted and kidnapped must be rescued.
"Start directly, starting from the mine, arresting guards, overseeing workers, and rescuing the mine slaves."
"Yeah. But wait a moment. Xiao Gu, go check around the mine to see if there is any secret passage or anything. If there is, destroy it quietly. Then go to the entrance of the valley, join Xiao Zhao, guard the entrance of the valley, and don't let anyone
People escape."
With two clicks of small bones, he walked directly through the wall and walked straight out of the mine.
Shen Lang sat down on a stone, closed his eyes, and contacted Xiao Zhao:
"Xiao Zhao, is there anything unusual about Shen Wu?"
Shen Lang's "Monster Taming Technique" has advanced to the fifth level, and the distance of spiritual communication with the little demons has reached 1,600 meters.
This 1,600 meters is a straight line distance and can ignore all ordinary physical obstacles.
Xiao Zhao, who stayed outside the mouth of the valley, was within the distance of spiritual communication. There were no powerful formations or restrictions here, so he could naturally communicate with Xiao Zhao spiritually.
[Meow~, no. He has been hiding outside the valley entrance, staring at the fortress. 】
"Are you sure?"
[Of course! Meow is the king of the night, please believe in Meow’s eyesight!]
Shen Lang nodded with satisfaction:
"Very good. Xiaogu will come find you later. You guys block the entrance of the valley together and don't let anyone escape from the entrance."
Shen Wu didn't have a magic weapon on him, which both Shen Lang and Mu Qingxue were sure of.
Since he didn't have a magic weapon and didn't make any small moves, it was impossible for Shen Wu to get in touch with anyone else.
【Great!】
After contacting Xiao Zhao, Shen Lang opened his eyes and looked at Mu Qingxue. He saw her holding her hands behind her back and walking to a gray stone that was half a person's height and looked like a piece of waste. She gently touched the stone with her toes.
With a kick, the stone cracked and split in half, revealing a gold nugget as big as Shen Lang's fist.
Facing this windfall, Mu Qingxue's face remained calm. She grasped the piece of gold nugget into her palm with her fingers. Then she put her palms together and rubbed it for a while without any cherishment, turning it into a round golden ball.
Throw it casually towards Shen Lang:
"Give it to you."
"..."
Shen Lang caught the golden ball and was speechless for a while. He couldn't help but ask:
"How do you know there's gold in the stone?"
"Intuition." Mu Qingxue said calmly: "If you are like me and can pick up gold wherever you go, you can also be like me and have such intuition."
"..."
Shen Lang was speechless again.
Mu Qingxue raised her eyebrows:
"What, don't you want it? Then give it back to me!"
As he said that, he opened his palms to Shen Lang.
Shen Lang quickly hugged Jin Qiu into his arms:
"Of course I want it! How could I not want the gold given by the financial owner?"
Although Shen Lang's current net worth is as high as 60,000 to 70,000 silver dollars, and he has so much money that he doesn't even know how to spend it, but he has never owned such a big and round golden ball, and Mu Qingxue picked it up and rubbed it.
Yes, it is of great commemorative value, so of course it should be collected and collected.
The corners of Mu Qingxue's lips were raised slightly, with a faint smile appearing. She came to Shen Lang's side, raised her hand and patted him lightly on the shoulder:
"Sit over here."
Shen Lang patted his thigh:
"You can sit on this."
Mu Qingxue rolled her eyes at him:
"If you want me to sit on your lap, that's fine. You can beat me in an arm wrestling match."
Shen Lang spread his hands:
"Aren't you bullying people? I don't even have the fourth level of martial arts..."
Mu Qingxue chuckled:
"You can also bless spells."
Shen Lang is interested:
"Meaning I can use any spell?"
Mu Qingxue nodded: "Of course!"
"As long as it's my power, it doesn't matter martial arts or spells?"
"certainly!"
"Very good." Shen Lang smiled confidently: "After this problem is solved, I will arm-wrestle with you to see if I can beat you, a second-grade warrior."
Seeing his confidence, Mu Qingxue couldn't help but feel a little strange:
"You are not born with divine power, so where do you get the confidence?"
Shen Lang smiled:
"You will know when the time comes. As long as you remember, any power that belongs to me can be used."
Mu Qingxue folded her hands around her chest, frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly an idea flashed, thinking of Xiao Zhao's transformation into a white tiger, she suddenly realized:
"You want to include your little monsters?"
Shen Lang laughed:
"As expected of Mr. Mu, you reacted so quickly. But you have already agreed, so don't lie!"
Mu Qingxue said seriously:
"I will never go back on what I have done. But those little goblins of yours are so small, how can they help you? Xiao Zhao can transform into a big tiger, but the tiger's claws are not good enough to help you arm-wrestle."
Shen Lang smiled and said:
"Don't worry, Mr. Mu, I have a way."
As he said that, he moved to the side and gave up half of the stone he was sitting on.
Mu Qingxue sat down next to him, shoulder to shoulder and legs touching.
After sitting next to each other for a while, Mu Qingxue said:
"Martial arts practitioners should be strong and soft, but your bones and muscles are too hard. No wonder you can't practice exquisite sword skills. Have you practiced several hard skills?"
Shen Lang chuckled:
"I have indeed practiced several hard skills. I am a tough guy, and I should be so tough."
"No wonder...but did you know that if you practice hard skills too much, you won't be able to practice many subtle moves?"
"Master Yan, doesn't he also practice horizontal and hard kung fu?"
"So Lord Yan is not good at moves."
"Uh... Master Yan, can't you use your moves?"
"Well, he is only good at opening and closing, and attacking hard."
"You seem to be the same way?"
"I'm different. I don't practice hard kung fu. I just like to attack hard because of the characteristics of Tiangang's fighting spirit. But I can also master subtle changes at my fingertips, and I am good at small grapples and hidden weapon kung fu. As for Master Yan, all the moves are
It goes straight forward with almost no changes, and anyone can see through it at a glance.”
"Then how did Master Yan become number one in the world?"
"Because even if you see through his moves, you can't dodge, break or block them."
"...Actually, I'm on the same path as Mr. Yan. Although I can't practice fancy and exquisite swordsmanship, I have a unique move. It's also a simple move that I can see clearly at a glance, but I can't resist the ultimate kill."
"Oh? You still have such a trick?"
"good."
"But I've never seen you use it."
"That's a killing move. It can't be used easily. If it is used, it will kill you."
"boast?"
"Tsk, if I have the chance, I'll let you see it."
As he spoke, Shen Lang unconsciously raised his arms and gently hugged Mu Qingxue's shoulders. Mu Qingxue did not resist. Although she thought his muscles were too hard before, she snuggled into his arms.
.
Mu Qingxue's body was soft and elastic, not like a martial arts practitioner.
However, Shen Lang had seen her in sleeveless outfits and knew that although her arms were slender, her muscles were really beautiful.
The reason why she is so soft is because she has already reached a state where she can be both strong and soft, and can control both weight and weight.
When necessary, her light and soft body can become extremely heavy and indestructible with the blessing of Gang Qi and gold.
"Why hasn't Xiao Gu come back yet?"
"It will not come back. After the inspection, it will go directly to the mouth of the valley."
"Then how does it notify you?"
"I can communicate spiritually with the fairies within a certain distance."
"I see... where's the little spider?"
"Are you still worried about it?"
"How can we really rest assured? That is the Star Demon God. Even if it is really a little demon enlightened by you and is different from the spider mother, I bet that it also wants to lure you into becoming a demon and make you become the Star Demon God.
.”
"..."
Shen Lang was speechless for a moment.
Because what Mu Qingxue said is exactly what the little spider has been trying hard, and it has never concealed its intentions...
"Are you wondering why I know this?"
"Why?"
"The Black Lotus Demon Cave, the torture chamber in the dream, was created by the little spider, right? It is exploring the darkness in your heart, and wants you to be completely unable to resist at that time, and can only be at the mercy of me, the six-armed snake demon, two
The Black Lotus Princess can do whatever she wants. And your majestic appearance on that lava ring... Oh, the great devil!"
"The little spider is messing around, but my heart is bright and open. There is no sneakiness or darkness. It is the light of the right path. I will never be tempted by it. On the contrary, under my guidance, it will get rid of the shackles of nature and gradually become good."
"Don't be too confident. You are a mortal, it is a demon."
"But I am the master of the demons. How can my little demon harm me?"
"Look, you are blindly confident again. The little spider will not harm you, but what if it thinks that it is good for you to lure you into falling into the Star Abyss and support you to become the Great Demon King? After all, the Star Abyss Demon God is also
The road to eternal life.”
"...Don't worry, the world is so beautiful, I won't go to a ghost place like Xingyuan to become the devil."
"Yes, the world is so beautiful...it would be better if there weren't those evil people."
"It is rare to be born purely good, and it is also rare to be born extremely evil. The vast majority of people are born gray, with good and evil in their hearts, gods and demons. No matter how perfect the law is, no matter how powerful the law enforcers are, it is impossible
Completely eradicate the evil in people's hearts. However, it is precisely because of the evil as a backdrop that all kinds of good deeds and benevolent hearts appear even more beautiful."
"Has anyone ever told you that sometimes you don't act like an eighteen-year-old?"
"Have it?"
"Well, you have an unknown origin and are extremely talented. You are not like a mortal. You can even enlighten the Xingyuan Demon God. I highly doubt that you are a projection of the demon and have descended to earth."
"The devil is not as good as me, right?"
"Devil's pretense."
"If I were really a demon descending to earth, how would you treat me?"
"I owe you my life, so I can only feed the devil with my body. If I can influence you with my heart, that would be a good thing."
"This joke is a bit heavy."
"It's not all a joke."
"...Don't worry, I'm really not a demon."
"I hope so."
While they were cuddling up and talking quietly, Xiaogu's heartfelt voice rang in Shen Lang's mind:
[Shen Lang, after checking, there are two secret passages leading to the outside of the valley. I will destroy the exit outside the valley. 】
"Well done!"
【I, now, go to meet up with Cat. You can take action.】
After ending the spiritual communication with Xiaogu, Shen Lang looked at Mu Qingxue with a smile:
"The ossicles are in place, we can begin."
Mu Qingxue nodded slightly and stood up:
"Let's go, starting from the mine, arrest all the overseers and guards, and rescue all the mine slaves."
Shen Lang walked side by side with her and asked:
"Aren't you going to kill a few?"
"Try to capture as many as possible alive and punish them properly to warn the world."
"All right……"
