The county guard watched Lu Yang gritting his teeth, but there was nothing he could do.
He didn't want to reveal this matter from the bottom of his heart, but when the matter reached this stage, he would say it even if he didn't say it.
The head of the Mo family looked like he was watching a good show and was gloating about the misfortune.
The county guard sighed heavily: "Please come with me."
Everyone followed the governor to the ground and went straight to the mine.
"The mine collapse is false news announced to the outside world, and there is another hidden story internally."
The county guard was familiar with the roads and led everyone into the end of the mine. He pressed a mechanism hidden on the wall and heard a rumble. The stone door opened, leading to the inside of the mine.
This is an internal passage that only a few people know about. A formation is secretly set up to avoid divine scanning. If someone scans it with divine consciousness, what they see will be a scene simulated by the formation.
The head of the Mo family became serious. Just like the information he had found out, there was indeed a mysterious passage.
The further you walk into the passage, the more you can smell the pungent smell of blood, as if a major murder has occurred ahead, with corpses piled up like mountains and all the blood flowing out.
When Lu Yang walked out of the cave and came to an open area, the smell of blood was overwhelming.
Fortunately, Lu Yang quickly got used to the smell of blood and could clearly see the scene in front of him.
In the middle of the open space is a large pit. The pit is blood red, and countless stones protrude from the blood-colored lake. They are extremely bright, and they are all of similar quality to the Phoenix Blood Stone that Meng Jingzhou bought.
There were several people walking around on the edge of the pit, pouring blood into the bloody lake from time to time.
"This, this is..."
The county guard explained helplessly: "This is the Phoenix Blood Stone that is being produced."
"Is the Phoenix Blood Stone fake?" Meng Jingzhou was surprised. I bought a fake for 500,000 yuan?
Li Haoran shook his head: "No, the blood in the pit is all phoenix blood. I saw the teacher use it when he was refining the weapon, but the phoenix blood the teacher used was of higher quality than the one here."
"Master Sheriff, who are these people?" A young man with red eyes walked over and had red feathers around his neck.
He frowned and went to the county governor, dissatisfied with his approach of bringing outsiders.
The county guard sighed: "There is nothing I can do. If I don't bring them here, I will be the unlucky one."
The red-eyed young man was about to have a seizure. Bringing outsiders here meant that the matter would be exposed. How would he explain to the clan leader when he went back?
"These are Taoist disciples. This is my grandson, the head of the Mo family."
"roll!"
"Taoist sect?" The red-eyed young man looked at Lu Yang and others in surprise, his expressions constantly changing, as if he was recalling bad things, and his attitude was no longer arrogant.
"Who are you Yunzhi?"
"It's my senior sister."
"Who are you Gantian?"
"It's my third senior sister." Lu Yang replied.
The third senior sister I have never met is called Gan Tian, and she is currently training in the Demon Realm.
"It turns out that fellow Taoist monks are here for a visit and inspection. Please come here." The attitude of the red-eyed young man changed 180 degrees, and he put on a smile that was cordial and friendly.
The governor's eyes twitched. He had never seen the red-eyed young man be so kind to him: "Let me introduce, this is Jiang Shan, a member of the Feng tribe."
"Senior Jiang Shan, please know the senior sister and the third senior sister..."
"Oh, I'll call you Senior Jiang Shan. I don't see many people outside. Just call me Xiao Jiang from now on." I don't know why, but Jiang Shan's attitude towards Lu Yang is particularly good.
"As for Senior Yunzhi and Senior Gantian, they are very kind to our Feng Clan. They even come to our Feng Clan to learn from each other and give us guidance on our practice. I was also fortunate enough to be given guidance."
"Of course, if possible, and I mean possible, could you please go back and tell your senior sister and third senior sister not to come to our Phoenix Clan again? The Dragon Clan is a big place, so go to the Dragon Clan."
Lu Yang: "..."
Senior Sister and Third Senior Sister, what have you done in the Phoenix Clan?
The Sui people were also very curious. This behavior was different from the proud Feng clan in the legend.
"I came here just to know what the Phoenix Blood Stone is about."
The county guard said: "Jiang Shan doesn't know as much about this matter as I do, so let me explain it."
"The story begins four thousand years ago. Four thousand years ago, Senior Phoenix passed away here. His blood soaked the mines, and the first batch of Phoenix Blood Stones appeared. The ancients accidentally discovered the Phoenix Blood Stones and were ecstatic.
We set up camp here and took the prototype of Luofeng County."
"About seven hundred years later, the Phoenix Blood Stone became less and less and became more and more difficult to dig. The county guard at that time saw that the situation was not going to work. The Phoenix Blood Stone was gone, and the economic pillar of Luofeng County disappeared. The entire Luofeng County
Feng County will collapse."
"So he secretly came to the Phoenix Clan, hoping to buy some phoenix blood and make a new batch of phoenix blood stones."
"At first, the Feng Clan did not agree. They are proud and untainted, and they were unwilling to sell blood to the governor."
"When the county governor wrote down the income from selling the Phoenix Blood Stone over the years and promised to give 30% of the profits to the Phoenix Clan, the Feng Clan's attitude suddenly changed."
Everyone looked at Jiang Shan, the only Feng tribe member present.
Jiang Shan said confidently: "There are so many people in our Feng clan. We don't need spiritual stones for food, clothing, housing and transportation. What's wrong with us relying on our own abilities to earn some money to support our families?"
This was the first time Lu Yang heard that selling blood was so fresh and refined.
Lu Yang remembered what Li Haoran said, "The Phoenix Clan is the most arrogant race among the Monster Clan, and its blood is so precious that it would be difficult for humans to obtain their blood."
It's as difficult as climbing to the sky.
The county guard glanced at Jiang Shan: "If the Phoenix Clan is so upright, why do they still require the Phoenix Blood Stone to be aged? We must not let outsiders see that it has just been soaked?"
Jiang Shan's guilty gaze shifted and he did not dare to look directly at the governor.
"The Phoenix Clan is willing to sell the phoenix blood, but requires that the matter be kept secret and not allowed to be seen by others, so the senior county guard studied how to quickly make the phoenix blood stone old."
"like this."
The county guard picked up a piece from the pool of blood and cast a spell. The originally bright-colored phoenix blood stone became dull in his hand, as if it had passed hundreds of thousands of years.
"Every few years, Luofeng County will receive a batch of blood from the Phoenix Clan, soak the stones, and make Phoenix Blood Stone."
"This has been going on for more than three thousand years, and it is a secret between every county governor."
"I don't know what happened later, but a piece of phoenix blood stone that had not been worn was exposed. After several rounds of transactions, it was bought by the eldest young master of the Meng family."
"If an experienced weapon refiner sees the phoenix blood stone, he can guess that the phoenix blood stones currently produced in Luofeng County have just been produced, and thus guess the agreement between Luofeng County and the Feng Clan."
"If this matter is exposed, the faces of Luofeng County and the Feng Clan will not look good, so I have always wanted to recycle this Phoenix Blood Stone. As for this person named Mo, he has the same idea as me."
"It's just that now that the matter is here, you all know the truth, so there is no point in recycling it."
