Aspiring to the Immortal Path

After the conversation, Qiu Shuyu led Tang Jie Zhang Taixu up the mountain.

As early as in the school, the Shimen faction set up a rich lunch for the two of Tang and Zhang to entertain them with great hospitality.

After drinking for three rounds, Tang Jie also gradually learned some local conditions.

There were originally three Cultivation Schools in the Yongsui Mountain area, but since the discovery of the mineral veins, the Shimen School became so powerful that they gradually suppressed the other two schools, and one of them was simply forced out of this place. It's just that with the depletion of the mineral veins, the good days of Shimen School are about to end.

At the banquet, Qiu Shuyu was even more embarrassed when he said this, and said to Tang Jie: "Relying on this vein in the past few years, the Shimen faction has indeed gained a lot of benefits. But in order to protect the vein, it also offended many villains. Yuhua back then The pie wanted to steal the mine. My Shimen faction fought with them for three games, killing and wounding countless disciples. Even I myself was badly wounded, so I can hold the mine. My Shimen faction’s heart of the moonwashing pie is a lesson from heaven and earth!"

The Yuhua faction was the one that was forced away by the Shimen faction. Tang Jie knew that the Shimen faction had indeed fought a few games against the Yuhua faction. As for whether it was to guard the mines, it was hard to say. From the actual situation, it is more like a fight for control of the Yongsui Mountain area.

From the perspective of the Moonwashing Sect, everyone in this mine is the same, anyway, they only need to give them 80% of the income. Even if the Yuhua faction really seizes the mineral vein, it will only take the Shimen faction's share, and they dare not wipe out the Xiyue faction's share of the courage. Therefore, even if the Shimen faction is fighting for mine defense, it is not fighting for the moonwashing faction, but for themselves. Qiu Shuyu's words are just showing loyalty and taking the opportunity to ask for a price.

Sure enough, Qiu Shuyu said: "But recently I heard that the Yuhua faction is not dead, and has been waiting for opportunities to retaliate. Now that the veins are exhausted, the Shimen faction will probably find it difficult to maintain the existing family business. It is bound to shrink. It is time to give these thieves a chance."

He said with a sigh on his face.

Tang Jie was amused, and said, "The defeated general is not brave enough. He is definitely not a Shimen party player if he wants to come. Head Qiu taught Qian."

But it did not reveal anything that could be caught by Qiu Shuyu.

Seeing that the other party was unmoved, Qiu Shuyu could only smile in embarrassment and stopped speaking.

Tang Jie wiped his mouth after being full of wine and food for a moment, "I have eaten before, so let's do business. Please also ask the palm to take me to the mine."

Qiu Shuyu hurriedly said: "Why the son should be in a hurry, it's not too late to play with my Shimen faction for a few days before going to see it."

Tang Jie shook his head, "No, I still have work to do, and I'd better finish it today."

He stood up as he spoke.

Seeing his resolute attitude, Qiu Shuyu could only agree. Before leaving, Qiu Shuyu stuffed Tang Jie with a mustard bag. Tang Jie opened it and saw that it was filled with spirit stones. Estimate the value, no less than 100,000.

Tang Jie smiled, but returned the mustard bag back.

Qiu Shuyu hurriedly said, "This is just a little bit of the Shimen School's intentions, and there is absolutely no intention of buying it."

Tang Jie only shook his head resolutely, Qiu Shuyu could only take it back, and took him to the mine vein.

The Lingshi vein is located at Baile Peak of Yongsui Mountain, only five miles away from Shimen Peak. Qiu Shuyu, Tang Jie and others flew all the way, very quickly, they came to the mine, and from a distance they saw crowds in the mine vein.

Qiu Shuyu was about to fall there, but Tang Jie said with a smile: "Don't worry about alarming them, I think about it first to see the situation."

When Qiu Shuyu heard him say this, he could only nod his head in agreement, and everyone fell far away and approached on foot.

———————

The entrance of the mine is always the most lively place.

A middle-aged scribe with three-handed rat whiskers is sitting behind a book case. There is a long line in front of the case, full of ragged miners holding mining picks, and some of them are only ten years old. Teenager.

Everyone also carried a basket on their backs, and the miners took out pieces of jade-colored stones of different sizes from the baskets, which were spirit stones. These are only rough stones and need to be polished and processed before they can be used. Nevertheless, through the thin stone clothing, one can still feel the energy fluctuations contained in it.

The miners handed the rough stone to the middle-aged scribe, and someone next to him stepped forward to weigh it.

"Twenty-four catties of low-quality mines, and one catty of medium-grade mines can get two silver coins and nine cents." The middle-aged scribes said, counting out some copper coins and handing them to the other party.

The miner exclaimed with dissatisfaction: "This medium-quality piece obviously weighs two catties, so why does it become one catty?"

The middle-aged scribe coldly snorted: "Shut up, useless things, no matter how loud they are, I will let you go!"

Lingshi mines are also divided into quality. According to the standards set by the six major schools, they are classified as the highest, middle and lower four grades. Mine harvesting is also based on this standard. Among them, the lower-grade mines are the cheapest, with only one silver per ten catties of rough stones, the medium-grade ore is five cents, the high-grade ore is three taels, and the top-quality ore is twenty taels.

However, in the world of repair, ten catties of low-grade rough stones can produce about one low-grade spirit stone, and the price of a low-grade spirit stone is about two hundred lings. Even if the black market price is not taken into consideration, the conversion ratio is still one to two thousand.

This is the difference between the cultivator and the mortal. Between the immortal and mortal, the former will always exploit the latter's labor.

Finding spirit mines is extremely tiring and dangerous. Mines are never safe, and there are always various risks hidden in them. Even if the practitioners enter, they will often encounter unpredictable disasters. That's why the mining is all done. Give it to a mortal. For most of the poor, mining is dangerous, but the benefits are not low. If you are lucky enough to get one or two good mines, you will probably get rid of the poor fate, so you are willing to go to the mines at risk, but even so, they will still be exploited from all sides.

The deduction of middle-aged scribes is one aspect, and the deduction of the foreman in the mine is also indispensable.

Under normal working conditions, it is not a problem for miners to get five cents a day on average, but three deductions and two deductions often leave only two or three cents.

At this moment, the miner knew what he could not do, so he could only leave in anger. After the miner was a young man, also carrying the mine basket, came to the scribes case and dumped the mine basket, but he rolled out a lot of rough stones.

I can't see that this kid is thin and weak, but he dug out a lot of mines.

The scribe saw an unprecedented smile: "Remnant, today's harvest is okay."

The boy just looked at the scribe coldly and did not speak.

The scribe's face suddenly sank. The person weighing next to him has not yet spoken. The middle-aged scribe has already said, "Ten Jin for the lower grade, and one coin for the silver."

As soon as this word came out, there was an uproar in the crowd.

The rough stone poured out by this young man can be found to be at least 30 catties or more, and two of them have special luster, which are obviously medium varieties. They were wiped out by the middle-aged scribes in one bite, and only counted as ten catties. This is beyond the reach of darkness.

There were already miners irritated behind: "This is simply not giving people a way to survive."

"Who said that he wouldn't give people a way to survive?" The middle-aged scribe snorted coldly: "A penny, at least enough for his brothers and sisters to eat and drink for three days, offended the golden son, who could have lived until now. There are not many people. Xizhanhen, you should go back and think about it. Send your sister to Mr. Jin as soon as possible. Things will turn around. Otherwise, I can use a penny to collect your mine today, but tomorrow. Even a penny may not be given to you!"

The young man just glanced at the middle-aged scribes coldly and said, "Wu Heixin, you are dreaming."

"What did you say?" The middle-aged scribe was furious.

He presided over mining in this vein. He has always been greedy for ink. He didn't know how much hard-earned money the miners had. Unexpectedly, I was called out by this young man. I was furious. I wanted to teach this young man, but I remembered the young man's reputation. I knew that he was bold and never afraid of death. I had worked with the foremen as early as in the mine. Fight against him and gain some prestige. Now those foremen who specialize in exploitation are not willing to provoke him, and he is also the least to search. That's why they can surrender more ore every time.

I am too close to this kid now, I really want to fight against my own disadvantage, and bear with me.

The middle-aged scribe thought, glaring at him, and the young man had already left with his own money.

Seeing that the young man was far away, the middle-aged scribes shouted: "You gang of **** are blind? Didn't you see that kid insult me? Don't take him down!"

Behind him, several big men with round waists and bladder rushed at the young man at the same time.

The young man named Xi Canhen turned his head and ran away. Several thugs saw that he was about to run and chased him tighter. Just when he was about to catch up, the young man suddenly flashed and grabbed an iron pillar beside him, his body in the air. Swirling, kicking a brawny man in the face head on.

This round of kick was not light, and knocked the strong man directly to the ground.

The boy had landed lightly, turned around and ran again, suddenly grabbed a small stone platform next to him, slammed it back, and smashed it on the foot of another strong man. There were only two of the four brawny men who were chasing, but this blockade also put the boy in a dangerous situation.

A brawny man caught the teenager first, and said with a grinning smile: "Good boy, let's see where you are going this time!"

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, the young man turned around and a two dragon grabbed the pearl, poking him in the eye. This was anxious and ruthless, completely in a posture that he wanted to dig out his eyes. The painful man covered his eyes and screamed, closing his hands and backing away.

At the same time, another brawny man had punched the young man in the back.

The boy was staggered by the strong man and fell out, blood was already bleeding from his mouth. The black-skinned man hugged the boy with his arms wide, and his arms hugged the boy like an iron hoop. He could no longer move, and kept tightening. , It looks like he was going to strangle the young man.

Here, the two strong men who had been favored earlier also greeted him, seeing that the angry look almost tore the young man to pieces. At this moment, a ray of brilliance flashed across the boy's body. It was at the same time when this brilliance emerged that the arms of the brawny man who held him were stretched out, and at the same time the young man flew his legs and kicked them on the two people who were approaching him. Another pair of flying feet knocked them down. , Hitting his head back, hitting the bridge of the brawny man's nose that hugged him, the painful man wailed and covered his face.

All four of them were cheated on their faces. At this moment, they covered their faces with pain, and everyone was stunned.

The young man walked back to the middle-aged scribe again, and said coldly: "Wu Heixin, before Young Master Jin kills me, I can actually kill you first. So..."

He beckoned to the scribe, the middle-aged scribe shivered, already offering the embezzled silver again.

The young man looked at the silver, nodded in satisfaction, and said, "For the sake of collecting mines, I won't knock you out."

"What?" The middle-aged scribe was in a daze. The young man had already hit the middle-aged scribe's stomach with a punch, and his face was deformed because of the pain.

Wu Wenshi twisted his face and said, "You...Hello..."

He hissed, "Guard, guard!"

Several miners have already pushed the boy one after another: "Remnant, hurry up, you have committed a crime after hitting Wu Heixin, and the iron guard is approaching."

The boy nodded, turned his head and ran.

Out of the mine, two black armored puppets have already appeared, they are the Xuan armored war pawns of the Washing Moon faction.

Along with the Xuanjia war pawn, there was also a Shimen disciple who saw the young man and snorted coldly: "Xi Canhen, it's you again. You really will cause trouble."

With a wave of his hand, the two Xuanjia war pawns were already chasing the young man.

When the young man saw this, he turned his head and ran.

The Shimen disciple gradually became impatient in his eyes, took out a big sword without a sharp edge, pinched the Yin Fa and pointed at the boy: "Go!"

The big sword screamed in the air and chased away eagerly.

Although this sword has no edge, it has a mighty force. Once it hits, even a stone can smash into powder, the young man will never survive.

The young man was also shocked when he saw this, but he couldn't hide it anyway. He was about to lose his life under the sword, and a flower suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and a figure appeared in front of him.

A hand that appeared horizontally was grasping on the sharp sword without front, strong and steady, the sword body swelled out of an unwilling whisper, but could not get rid of the entanglement of that hand.

The young man escaped from the dead, already lying on the ground panting.

Only then did he find a young man standing in front of him, smiling at himself.

"What kind of person, so courageous!" The Shimen school disciple was very annoyed when he saw someone attempting to sabotage him.

I was about to step forward to teach, but I saw a few more people appear, and the head of the Shimen disciple was even more dazed on the spot.

He first rubbed his eyes to confirm that he was not mistaken, then pushed Jinshan down to his knees and shouted: "The disciple Chu Junyu has seen the master teacher, the second uncle, the third master, and the fourth uncle!"

With this call, everyone around was shocked.

Was it the head teacher of the Shimen faction who arrived in person?

For those mortals, Qiu Shuyu is no different from a godlike existence.

The next moment there was a sound of hula la, and a crowd of people knelt down.

Then I heard two bangs.

However, the two puppets were still chasing the young man. They were beaten by Tang Jie with two punches. By the way, they closed the black armor war pawn's control circle, making it impossible to move. Then he said: "Before you kneel next time, remember to stop. Stop."

Then Chu Junyu blushed and said angrily: "Who are you, how dare you..."

"Shut up!" Qiu Shuyu has already scolded: "This is the envoy to wash the moon, Tang Jie Tang, the son of Tang, has not seen the courtesy yet."

"Admiral Washing Moon?" Chu Junyu was taken aback, and hurriedly said to Tang Jie: "I have seen Young Master Tang."

Tang Jie Shi Shiran came over: "You don't need to be polite, it looks like you are quite busy."

Chu Junyu hurriedly said: "Don't dare, it's true that these unsophisticated people are too fond of making troubles. They know that they are making trouble all day long. If there is no thunder, they will repeat themselves at every turn."

Tang Jie nodded: "If there is no thunder, I would recognize this repeatedly. The more people there are, the easier it is to make trouble. This is not false."

Chu Junyu was overjoyed when he heard him agree with what he said.

"but……"

However, Chu Junyu's heart immediately fell to the bottom.

Tang Jie said leisurely: "Is it really the way to solve the problem, regardless of whether it is green or red, whether it is right or wrong, and regardless of the root cause?"

Chu Junyu and the middle-aged scribe were trembling with fright. The meaning of Tang Jie's words clearly meant that the middle-aged scribe was the source of the problem.

Sure enough, some active miners shouted when they heard this: "Yes, this is Wu Heixin, who exploits me every day, scraping the ground three feet, and is extremely unscrupulous."

Then Wu Hei was shocked, thinking that it was broken and was about to sue, but Tang Jie raised his hand: "I am not Master Qingtian, and I am not here to be ordered to investigate the lives of miners. If you have any grievances, you don't need to shout to me. ."

When these words came out, everyone felt cold, but Wu Hei felt relieved. Even Qiu Shuyu couldn't help but admire Tang Jiehui's handling of things and his lack of authority.

In fact, the deduction of miners is common everywhere, and it is not necessarily surprising here.

A storehouse of rice grains must contain moths; a storehouse full of grains must grow large rats.

As far as the Xian family is concerned, the lower people are not honest, and it is inevitable to be greedy for ink. In this case, instead of looking for the one who is not greedy, it is better to find the useful one, not to mention that there is another magical effect at the critical moment.

This Wu Xiucai is flexible and easy to use. He never forgets to make a confession every year, so he has been using it till now.

Although Tang Jie is not responsible for the affairs here, Qiu Shuyu will certainly not protect Wu Xiucai for the face of his envoy, and offend Tang Jie for a mortal, but he must despise his excessive justice in his heart.

Now that Tang Jie hasn't done this, Qiu Shuyu's affection for him has greatly increased.

"But..." I didn't expect Tang Jie to add these three words in a prolonged tone.

Wu Heixin was surprised when he said this, and even Qiu Shuyu couldn't help but smile. Can't you speak well if you miss you? Can you stop panting so much?

Tang Jie already said: "Anyway, the miners are also the people under Wenxin's rule, and are blessed by my baptismalists. If the people's lives are too poor, wouldn't it also appear that my baptismalists are incompetent?"

As soon as this big hat came out, everyone changed their colors.

Tang Jie already said: "Besides, this kid is greedy. There must be a lot of it. If you send someone to check it, you will find that the family wealth is huge..."

He didn't go on, Qiu Shuyu understood what he meant, and laughed loudly: "What the son of Tang said is that sometimes he has to give the people an explanation. When I look back, I will appoint another person to take up the post of mine collectors. As for this person. , Look back to find out how much benefit he got, and just punish him."

Then he lowered his voice and said, "The young man sent me to find the corrupt giant moth. He has made great contributions. I must be grateful for it."

Saying that he has stretched out three fingers, that means that after copying Wu Xiucai's home, 30% of the benefits go to Tang Jie.

Tang Jie smiled and didn't speak.

This time, he accepted the money unceremoniously.

Then Wu Xiucai's expression changed drastically: "Teacher Qiu, no!"

He collected mines for Shimen faction over the years. Although he has made a lot of benefits, a considerable part of it was given to Shimen faction, Zhang Taixu and others. Now Qiu Shuyu wants to collect it all at once, which is equivalent to let him recognize it. Sin.

He didn't know that in the eyes of Shimen faction, people like him are like a pig, and they can be slaughtered when they are fattened up. 80% of the benefits gained from the mines will be handed over to the Washing Moon faction, and the benefits gained by Wu Xiucai can be reaped, but they can be given to oneself.

In this respect, his Wu Xiucai is a useful tool. Through his greed for ink and sucking marrow down, the Shimen faction can get a lot of extra benefits, but at best, it will be charged with lax supervision and will not be caught. The Moon Clerk believes that it is due to the greed of ink.

Tang Jie's arrival only made Wu Xiucai unlucky earlier. Without him, this pig would actually have to be killed sooner or later.

At this moment, Wu Xiucai was dealt with. Tang Jie came to the miners and said loudly: "I, Tang Jie, came to explore the mine on the order of the Xiyue Sect. I need a guide. Here you can understand the situation of the mine and stand up. Good, you can get a reward of 100 taels of silver pattern."

As soon as these words came out, many people were immediately moved, saying that they could be a guide, and the young man also stood up before. He was right next to Tang Jie, so it was easy to speak, and he said directly: "No one in this mine is more familiar than me, but you have to use me as a guide. I have a condition."

Tang Jie looked at the young man: "Just as I saved you, will you negotiate terms with me?"

The boy's face flushed red: "I don't want your silver, and you have to promise me one thing. There are crises everywhere in this mine. No one is more familiar than me. If you don't believe me, ask them, in the past few years. Who mines the most mines here!"

If he says you ask them if I am the most familiar, most of the miners will yell that I am no worse than you, but he is calling out who mines the most. All the miners are dumb at once. Obviously, no one is in this matter. Can be compared to a teenager.

Tang Jie nodded: "It sounds like you really have two things, what do you want?"

The young man boldly said: "The Jin family has taken a fancy to my sister and wants to accept her as a concubine. You must be a great person. I want you to help me deal with the Jin family."

Tang Jie turned his head and asked loudly, "Who is the Jin family?"

Zhang Taixu replied: "A mortal family in this area, there are many shops in the nearby towns that are run by his family, and he has raised some thugs, including a spiritualist, which is considered to be some power and famous in the local area. One hegemony."

Although this last sentence was a bit superfluous, it was aimed at Tang Jie's needs.

Tang Jie nodded and turned to the boy and said, "I can only guarantee that he will not get your sister, and you have to promise me one condition."

The two of them are addicted to mentioning each other.

The boy asked: "What conditions?"

Tang Jie has brought the young man aside, and whispered in his ear, "Let you open the treasure or secret book of Yumen."

As soon as he said this, the young man's face changed drastically, and he immediately realized that his previous action when he was besieged by the four strong men revealed clues, and he was spotted by the person in front of him. If people knew that he could actually cultivate, it would be ruthless to **** and kill people immediately. When he thought of this, Tang Jie's face was full of fear.

Tang Jie still looked at him with a smile, as if telling him that he would not take his treasure, only exchange.

The boy settled down and finally said, "Then I have to add a condition."

This really adds to the cost of conditions.

Tang Jie asked: "What?"

"Teach me to cultivate immortals~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This is not difficult, but it also depends on the value of things. The higher the value, the more I can do for you."

The young man secretly stuffed something into Tang Jie's hands.

As soon as he got this thing, Tang Jie's mind was startled, and he asked in a low voice, "Where did you get it?"

"In the mine." The boy replied, "But only I know where that place is."

Tang Jie nodded, and put away the things calmly: "The matter of cultivating Taoism is on my body."

"What about the Jin family?"

"There won't be any more gold houses."
