The sound of the chair collapsing alarmed Phoenix Girl.
She rushed in, "Sir, what happened?"
Looking again, Qin Fan held a strange sword hilt in his hand, without a sword blade.
Qin Fan quickly moved the sword away.
I'm afraid this woman will charge at the tip of the sword.
Phoenix Girl looked at the chair and saw that the cut was as smooth as silk.
She was shocked and horrified, "Sir, this is..."
"Haha, Yanni, you didn't expect that the secret is this sword."
"sword?"
No matter how she looked, she couldn't tell that it was a sword.
Qin Fan pulled out a sword flower in the air. Immediately, he waved his hand, and an erratic sword shadow flashed past, and the half of the chair was cut open again.
In an instant, Phoenix Girl was so surprised that she could stuff an egg into her mouth.
"What kind of sword is this? It has a shadow but no form."
Qin Fan was quite proud, "It should be the legendary Chengying Sword, also known as the Sword of Elegance. It was once the sword of Emperor Shang. It is recorded in "Liezi. Tang Wen"."
"According to legend, it was made by Qin Shiyan, who combined the essence of the sun and the moon with the water from the Tianshan Mountains, as well as the souls of dragons and wild geese."
"When it comes out of the oven, the dragons separate themselves into shadows, and the geese fall and forget to return, so it is named Chengying."
"This is an invisible long sword, which was later hidden by Kong Zhou, a Weiguo man during the Spring and Autumn Period."
The Phoenix girl was overjoyed and held Qin Fan's arm with a smile on her face, "Congratulations, sir, you are sure to have a drink and a peck."
Qin Fan was stunned, "How can you say this?"
Phoenix Girl smiled sweetly and let go of Qin Fan.
"Sir, if you don't look for fire jade for Mr. Lan, you won't come to Wa City. If you don't go to the market, I won't bet on stones."
"You can't find this famous sword either."
"Uh... that's right." Qin Fan reluctantly agreed with Phoenix Girl.
No matter what, Phoenix Girl is really happy for Qin Fan.
Strangely enough, after the sword was sheathed, except for Qin Fan who could pull it out, Phoenix Girl could not pull it out.
Qin Fan thought: "This may be because of the power of merit."
In the afternoon, Sister Yao came over and all the passes she had been entrusted with were processed.
They also brought a local man named Li Bing, who was in his thirties.
Li Bing is familiar with the people at each venue and will serve as Qin Fan's guide for a fee of 10,000 Chinese coins.
"Mr. Li, I will trouble you along the way. If you do well, I will increase your commission." Qin Fan said.
"Thank you, boss. Don't worry, I bring people in all year round and nothing has ever happened to me." Li Bing assured, patting his chest.
Sister Yao also nodded and said: "Li Bing is a well-known guide in this area, and he is familiar with the people at the entrance of the mining area."
"Just follow him along the way and cooperate with the soldiers' inspection."
Later, each person was given a pass to enter the mining area for inspection in the name of a jade merchant from Guizhou and Guizhou Province.
Among them are Zuo Lanruo, who is proficient in raw jadeite, and Zhou Jingtian, who is familiar with jade processing.
From a professional perspective, this name couldn't be more appropriate.
Several people spent the night repairing it.
The next day, we took a minibus to the mining area.
This kind of small minibus has been running this route for a long time, picking up businessmen and miners from both places.
In order not to attract attention, Qin Fan found a piece of green cloth to wrap the Shadow Bearing Sword.
The road to the mining area is better, it is a simple asphalt road.
The minibus was speeding along, kicking up dust in the sky behind it.
It took about three hours of driving to arrive.
The river water in the mining area has long been drained artificially, and large-scale mechanical equipment was used to excavate the river bed.
Large-scale mining can also be seen in the mountains on both sides of the strait.
The locals call these mines jade factories, also called field entrances.
The mining area that the minibus arrived at is the oldest Changkou Mameng. It is said that this is the earliest birthplace of jade.
When we arrived at our destination, several people got off the bus.
There are potholes everywhere in the mining area, and you can see some workers working here and there.
Several large excavators roared to dig up some river sand, and workers immediately pumped water to wash it away.
Pick out the stones in the sand and gravel, and finally have them preliminary identified by professionals.
After Li Bing got off the bus, he contacted the person in charge here by phone.
He bowed slightly and said: "Bosses, please follow me. There are soldiers checking in front. Just cooperate."
Everyone nodded and followed behind.
After walking a few hundred meters, we climbed over a small slope and saw a row of simple white board houses built next to the road ahead.
"stop!"
Sure enough, some soldiers with live ammunition raised their hands to signal to stop.
Behind him, there were seven or eight soldiers, all wearing jungle camouflage uniforms and fully armed.
Qin Fan and Phoenix Girl were fearless. They had even killed their enemies before, so they were no longer afraid of this attitude.
However, Lan Mei, Zuo Lanruo, and Zhou Jingtian were obviously a little nervous.
Especially Lan Mei, who couldn't help but lean towards Qin Fan.
Li Bing stepped forward to negotiate with the leading soldier, chatting in Burmese and throwing a few packs of cigarettes to him.
The soldier nodded, walked over and switched to Chinese.
"Bosses, please show your passes."
With the help of the soldiers, the soldier's tone softened a lot. He looked at the IDs of several people and raised his hands to let them go.
After passing the checkpoint, you enter the mining area's office and warehouse.
As soon as Li Bing approached, he shouted loudly: "Wuxiang, Wuxiang, are you there?"
I heard someone respond.
A middle-aged man of about forty came out of the wooden house.
"Oh, it's Li Bing. Who are you bringing here today?" The other party may be Wu Xiang.
"Wuxiang is from China. They want to inspect the mining areas along the way. They are jade merchants from Guizhou and Guizhou Province."
"oh…"
Li Bing threw a cigarette to the other party, "I knew you were staying here, and your mouth was wet with tears."
"Haha, you are still sensible."
"Have you seen all the mining areas?"
"After seeing it, that's all. They wanted to see the condition of the warehouse."
"Oh, no problem, come with me."
Wu Xiang put the cigarette back into the house and brought a bunch of keys over.
Several people looked at each other and followed Li Bing silently.
The warehouse is also a simple wooden building with six or seven rooms.
After Wu Xiang opened the door, Zuo Lanruo and Zhou Jingtian started chatting with him.
They are much more professional about jade and are very easy to talk to.
Qin Fan and Lan Mei entered the warehouse to watch.
It was dim and somewhat humid. Qin Fan glanced over and saw all the raw stone and wool materials at a glance.
Soon all six or seven warehouses were viewed.
Except for the normal jade, which occasionally has yellow and green colors, I didn't see the fire jade in Qin Fan's heart.
After leaving the warehouse, Qin Fan nodded slightly without leaving any trace.
Indicate that you have read them all.
"Thank you, Mr. Wu. We still need to evaluate it later, so that's it for now."
Zhou Jingtian was polite to the other party, shook hands and said goodbye.
After leaving Ma Meng, several people stopped a truck from the mining area and went to a nearby town to look for food.
"We will rush to Hpakant City in the afternoon. If it is early, we will go to the mine to inspect. If it is too late, we will stay one night in Hpakant City."
Li Bing gave Qin Fan and others advice.
"Okay, after a bumpy day and a visit to Ma'mon, everyone is very tired."
Qin Fan looked at Lan Mei who looked tired.
In comparison, she had the weakest physical endurance among the group of people, but she remained silent.
Pagan Changkou is just east of Pagan City, not far from the Wuyou River.
The jade material at this site is produced in conglomerate and is very hard.
Pagan City is equivalent to a county-level city in China.
When several people arrived, it was already 4pm.
Simply find a hotel to rest and prepare to go to Hpakanthangkou the next day.
As soon as I checked into the hotel, soldiers came to check the room.
It turns out that the area around Pagan and Mogok is now a restricted area, and foreigners are prohibited from entering in principle.
But they all come with passes, so there's no trouble.
In another room of the hotel, there was an old man wearing a black robe with fair hair and no beard.
He was talking to someone on his cell phone, and it turned out to be Wu Yi, "General Hachi, we have been friends for many years. I will invite the best doctors from China."
"Don't worry too much about your son's illness. Western medicine can't help it. The profound and profound Chinese medicine can definitely help."
The person on the other end of the phone named Ha Chi said with a strong voice, "Mr. Wu, I'll leave this to you."
"You're welcome, General Hachi, I saw a few people sneaking around in Hpakant today, as if they were heading towards Mogok."
"Oh, is this happening?" Ha Chi asked.
"Yes, you also know that there was a theft in the Mogok mining area last year. I will remind the general if I see it."
"Well, thank you, I understand." The other party hung up the phone.
Wu Yi's face was expressionless, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
Wu Yi looked through the peephole, opened the door, and a young man in his twenties came in.
He is Tang Sui, another disciple of Wu Yi, whom Wu Yi took with him when he was hiding overseas.
