The next day, Shi San knocked on the door early in the morning and said that the old patriarch was at the ancestral hall to invite him. Yuan Futu and Xiaodouzi immediately went there.
This ancestral hall looks weathered, with many traces of repairs visible. It is not big inside, and is filled with ancestral tablets. The old patriarch stands there with his back straight, and does not look sick at all. It seems that this second-grade elixir
The medicine is more effective on the mortal body.
Shui'er stood aside holding the old patriarch's hand. Seeing the two coming here, a smile suddenly appeared on her fair and tender face, and she said obediently: "Hello, brother Futu, hello, brother Xiaodouzi."
Yuan Futu cupped his hands and said, "It seems that the patriarch's health has improved a lot."
The old patriarch asked Shi San to move two stools, motioned for the two of them to sit down, and said: "It was the little old man who was reckless earlier. The reason why he survived this time was all thanks to the help of the two gentlemen. The most important thing is that the girl Shui'er didn't
Let that guy be ruined, so no matter what, please accept the little old man's respect."
"Clan leader, please get up!" Before he could bend down, Yuan Futu had already helped him up and said, "It's just a little effort. I just want the clan leader to do me a favor."
The old patriarch turned around, faced the spiritual tablets, and said: "If you still want us to move, please don't say it again. I succeeded as the tribe leader when I was twenty-three years old. Now I am already eighty years old. These things
I think about the tribe residents all the time, and I can do anything. There are only two things I can't do, one is to hurt my relatives, and the other is to plunder my land."
Seeing the old patriarch speaking righteously and resoundingly, Xiaodouzi said respectfully: "Old patriarch, this matter is of great significance to us, please do it."
The old patriarch shook his head, "Anyway, we can't compromise."
Yuan Futu frowned slightly and said: "Don't worry, I hope the old patriarch can consider it. I can help you solve any worries you have. I wonder if you can take us up the mountain to have a look now?"
The old patriarch said: "That's no problem, Shi San, just take the two nobles up the mountain and have a look."
Shi San nodded and said: "Okay, you two, please come with me."
The two of them followed Shi San out of the ancestral hall, followed the winding path on the left, and walked up the mountain road next to the stream.
In the ancestral hall, Shui'er pouted and said, "Master Patriarch, what do they want to do and why do they want us to move here?"
The old patriarch sighed and said: "Practitioners have always done weird things. Fortunately, they are not evil people, otherwise our place would have been razed to the ground long ago. But our ancestors have always taught me that even if I die, I will do it."
Protect the integrity of this land...and you."
As he said that, he stretched out his old and thin hand and touched Shui'er's head.
Shi San walked in front, broke a branch and pushed aside the weeds in front of him. Xiaodouzi followed Yuan Futu and asked: "Brother Futu, the old patriarch's attitude is so determined, it seems that he will not agree."
Yuan Futu smiled and said, "Putting meat in your mouth for you to chew. Nothing in the world is that simple. No matter how resolute his attitude is, there will still be room for change, but it will take some effort."
When he was in the Kunlun Mountains, the hunter's adoptive father once led him to lie in wait for three days and three nights in the deep winter snow, with no water or rice. When he was on the verge of despair, he waited for a reindeer and shot it.
He sold his fur goods and ate venison to survive the whole winter. Therefore, at a very young age, Yuan Futu understood that only by putting in enough effort would he be rewarded generously. He would never give up until the last moment.
.
After walking for more than an hour, the terrain gradually became higher and the bushes became denser. Shi San sat down tiredly, wiped the sweat from his head, and asked: "I heard from the old patriarch that you want to mine some here."
Are these things valuable?"
Yuan Futu said: "It may not be worth a penny to you, but it is of infinite use in the hands of us practitioners."
"Sir...are you talking about mineral veins?"
Yuan Futu frowned slightly, "You also know about the mineral veins?"
Shi San nodded and said, "I've heard of it, but I haven't even seen what the spirit stone looks like. I just know that the mineral veins are extremely valuable to practitioners, and there are many people who want to fight for them."
"You know a lot. Since you have lived here for so long, have you noticed anything different about this area?" Yuan Futu asked.
Shi San thought for a while and said: "That's not true. I just feel that things here are a little different. For example, the trees growing here even take longer to burn after being cut into wood than ordinary charcoal fires. The leaves of the bushes sometimes
It glows at night, and there are strong winds for no reason. One time it was even more exaggerated, and it suddenly started to burn. If some residents hadn't discovered it early, the mountain would have been burned down."
Hearing these kinds of strange phenomena, Yuan Futu became more and more certain that the mineral vein was here. The situation he mentioned was clearly the effect of the elemental power contained in the spiritual stone escaping.
It didn't take long for the three of them to reach the depths of the bush. Their feet were on soft soil, with dead branches and leaves everywhere, and there was a sweet smell of decay in the air.
Yuan Futu stood here and looked down along the ridge. He knew that the size of this vein was not very large, but the distribution of spiritual stones was not concentrated, so it was very wide, covering roughly a thousand feet in front of it.
Xiaodouzi asked: "Brother Futu, are you sure there are really high-level spiritual stones here?"
Yuan Futu smiled, seemed to have full confidence, and said: "If you don't believe it, let me see it." As he said that, he pointed like a sword, and a green sword light suddenly appeared on his fingertips, which contained a hidden meaning.
It possesses extremely strong wind element.
When one finger fell, the green light shot into the ground, making a muffled sound and crushing a few strands of cold mud.
The spirit stones of the veins are hidden nearly a hundred feet underground and are covered by strata formed over millions of years. No matter how powerful your spiritual consciousness is, it is difficult to detect them unless you can break through all the strata and remove the long-standing accumulation inside.
Elemental power is unleashed.
That green light contained the powerful essence of the Huanxu Realm, and was mixed with a bit of the secret of the brave sword. It was extremely powerful, and disappeared within a moment, leaving only a bottomless hole.
Xiaodouzi and Shi San both looked at it with their heads raised and couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Suddenly, the soles of his feet began to tremble, and large waves of elemental power suddenly emerged from the small hole.
These elemental powers escaped from the spirit stones. A small part penetrated from the stratum to the ground, causing the abnormal phenomenon Shi San said, but most of them were still blocked deep underground. Now they were all vented out, causing the ground to
They were all trembling slightly.
Bang!
As if being swept by the air current, two or three bright-colored spiritual stones were brought out and landed in front of Yuan Futu.
