Chapter 55: The dead soul is in the gorge, how can I be alone alone?
As the overlord of the Eastern Region, Qi State naturally has a strong reputation in the entire Eastern Region.
Not only does it occupy the most fertile land in the Eastern Region, it governs many vassal states, and it also secretly supports many sects on offshore islands.
But just here in the Eastern Region, not all the forces buy into the Jiang Dynasty.
Let’s not talk about the two places with transcendent status: the Sanxing Palace, the Holy Land of Legalism, and the Xuankong Temple, the East Holy Land of Buddhism.
The Diaohai Tower on the offshore archipelago and the Dongwang Valley, where both medicine and poisoning are cultivated, are like a country of their own, but they have not established a national system.
Another example is Qu State, Zheng State, etc., which are located at the junction of the Northern Territory and the Eastern Territory. They also have complete sovereignty and are independent and self-governing.
With the secret support of the Northern Territory Pastoral Kingdom and the Central Territory Overlord Jing Guo, he has really dared to bare his teeth with Qi State in recent years.
There is a huge canyon between Quguo and Dongwang Valley.
It's called Duanhun Gorge.
The length of this canyon even exceeds the straight-line length of the Dongwang Valley.
It starts from Rong State in the north of Yang State, and ends even deep into the northern desert. It is said that it is not far from the endless quicksand.
Just like the end of the east is the bottomless sea, and the end of the north is the desert and scorched land.
The endless quicksand is the most dangerous area in the desert that ordinary people know.
It is precisely because this canyon is so deep, so long, and it extends to such a mysterious and terrifying place. It is like walking through the netherworld and penetrating into hell.
Pedestrians passing by this place feel like their souls are broken every time. Hence the name.
This place has always been an inaccessible place.
But at this moment, there were seven people standing on the cliff in Duanhun Gorge.
It was a cross-section on the cliff. It was so high that it was impossible to reach the top, and there was no end in sight, and there was no place to fall back on.
But these seven people must be like green pines, wearing only their robes.
A man with a handsome face and eyes like cold stars stood in front of everyone, vaguely the leader.
If Jiang Wang were here, he would be able to recognize that this person is Yin Guan whom he knew in Youguo.
But I saw that he had long flowing hair and a tall and straight figure. He wore a green robe with a collar and a pendant hanging from his waist. He had sword-shaped eyebrows on his temples and had a unique temperament.
Among these seven people, others either covered their faces with scarves or masks, and they all covered themselves up in different ways.
Only he showed his true face and faced the other six people face to face.
After escaping from Youguo, time did not pass long, but Yin Guan obviously did not waste time.
His aura is more stable and powerful than before.
At this time, he summoned these six guys with different auras, but they were all tyrannical. Of course, it was not to see the scenery of Duanhun Gorge. There was no scenery to see here, and no one was willing to see the scenery.
"Since we have decided to get together, with your talents, it would be a waste to do anything else." Yin Guan spoke calmly, but no matter how strong the mountain wind was, he could not cover his voice. "The way to build a strong organization is from
The killing begins."
"So." Opposite him, a hoarse voice asked: "What is the name of our organization?"
"We are all people with no way out, even hell won't open the door for us, aren't we?"
Yin Guan stood in the wind, his long hair fluttering, and his gaze went over the heads of these people, looking to nowhere.
"It's better to call it hell without a door."
…
The scale of Jiacheng City in Rizhao County is almost the same as that of Fenglin City, or slightly larger.
The local Xi family has been in charge of this city for generations and can be said to be deeply rooted.
The Chongxuan family's lapis lazuli vein is in Qingyang Town under Jiacheng's rule.
Hu You, the pavilion chief of Qingyang Town, is the person in charge of the Chongxuan clan's affairs in Jiacheng. Because of this status, Qingyang Town is not actually controlled by Jiacheng.
As a vassal state of Qi State, many times the officials of Yang State really couldn't stand up.
The output of the celestite vein suddenly dropped. After Jiang Wang learned the general situation, his first judgment was that the problem might lie between Jiacheng and Qingyang Town.
There are only eight towns in the entire Jiacheng city area. The Chongxuan family established a mineral vein here, which effectively eliminated one town. It is impossible for the Xi family not to have ideas.
Although we dare not resist openly, it is very possible to secretly use means to dry up the mineral veins earlier and end the Chongxuan family's operations here early.
As for Hu You in Qingyang Town, he has been in contact with the Chongxuan family for so long, so he probably doesn't have the courage to cause trouble. In other words, he is not so stupid.
As long as the Chongxuan family is still operating this mine in name, Hu You will be the de facto emperor of Qingyang Town. How could he be so stupid as to destroy the Great Wall if he didn't think of ways to extend the life of the mine?
It's best if things are simple, but Jiang Wang won't be too optimistic.
The truth remains to be determined by personal investigation.
This is also the reason why he appeared here in disguise.
The celestite mine is equivalent to a village in itself, with monks stationed all year round and protected by a magic circle.
Many miners live here.
There is also an official road connecting the mine and Qingyang Town, but for the Chongxuan family's mine, there is obviously no need to expect the Yang State to take care of it.
The so-called official roads are not safe enough, and the beast-repelling magic circle is rarely maintained.
Precisely because of the dangerous wilderness, the miners here rarely leave the mine and are escorted back to the town by the monks stationed at the mine every month.
Jiang Wang came here for the job of guarding the mine here.
Hu's Mine is the name of this lapis lazuli mine.
Several large signs were hung precariously at the entrance to the mining area.
The guards in the mining area are mainly to guard against ferocious beasts, not people. After all, gangsters can't steal anything when they come to the mining area, so they won't go back with a pile of ore.
Moreover, there are extraordinary monks stationed here. The extraordinary monks rob this place to gain more than they lose. Ordinary thieves rob this place just to seek death.
Jiang Wang found the mine manager easily and expressed that he wanted to find a stable job.
The manager of Hu's mine is also named Hu, and he is from the same family as Hu You.
The reason why Jiang Wang knew this clearly was because in just a few sentences, he had already shown off three times.
"Ahem, Xie also knows that we are from the same family as Hu Tingzhang. Being in charge of this mine is a big responsibility." Manager Hu took two puffs of his dry cigarette and asked abruptly: "What's your name?"
"Dugu'an."
"Ever studied martial arts?"
"Wandering Pulse Realm Monk."
thump.
Guanshi Hu rolled onto the ground.
He quickly got up again, took Jiang Wang's hand in his, and said with humility on his face: "Master monk?"
Jiang pulled his hand out without looking at any trace: "Why, you don't accept extraordinary monks here?"
The miners in the mine can safely travel to and from Qingyang Town every month because of the extraordinary monks. Of course, it is impossible not to accept them here.
"Take it, take it, take it, take it." Manager Hu slapped his thigh, and with the cunning characteristic of a small person, he glanced at Jiang Wang and said, "I'm afraid the conditions are difficult, but Xie doesn't like it."
"Tell me about it." Jiang Wang said casually, looking around.
Not long after he entered here, he discovered something interesting.
