The Si family discovered gold mines in Silang Mountain, which was not seven years ago, but seventy years ago.

At that time, the Chen Dynasty was in turmoil, and chaos occurred in various places, and they were suppressed one after another, and famines were everywhere.

Although the ancestors of the Si family discovered a gold mine, in order to keep this secret, the Si family began to plan to build a bunker in the mountains on the excuse of the chaos in the world.

The first gold mine entrance was found underground in Sijiabao.

The stone fort was built, and the guards were very strict. The servants of the inner fort were allowed to enter and not leave. They secretly mined gold mines.

However, mining is not that simple. They are all newbies. The tunnel was originally dug randomly. I thought it would be digging wherever there was more gold. The tunnel collapsed several times before the Si family began to strengthen the tunnel and did not dare to dig deeper rashly.

Because underground excavation damaged the root system of the trees, the woods near Sijiabao began to die in patches.

The Si family simply cut down all these trees. It was said to the outside world that the woods blocked their views and might be used by bandits.

The gold ore was dug out, but the ore was ore after all, not gold. If you want to extract the gold, you have to work harder. The Si family devoted themselves to the gold mine and did not have the energy to participate in the world's disputes. Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, Sijiabao was indeed a bunker that was mainly defense-oriented. In the later stage, it captured two or three county towns, but it was determined not to make progress.

In order not to attract attention, the Si family had to hide secrets. People who were sent to mine and withdraw gold were never able to come out alive. In the chaos in the world, they had gold and food, and could buy prisoners of war and slaves. After the establishment of the Chu Dynasty, the Si family lost the jurisdiction of Qiuling County and could not buy people. The mining matter could only be temporarily stopped.

This stop lasted for more than 30 years.

The Chu Dynasty had extremely strict administration, and even if the Si family was a local tyrant, it would be difficult to deal with it.

The Si family cannot stand out in the officialdom, and they are in a declining state. The more they fall, the less it is possible to spend gold and silver every few days. The Si family guards the warehouse full of gold left by their ancestors, and can only smash the big pieces into small pieces. The small ones have to calculate their days and dare not use them frequently. That's all, there are more gold mines underground!

In order to prevent leaks, only the head of the family knows these things.

If you are open-minded, it would be fine if you are money like dirt, otherwise you would be unable to endure day and night.

There are few people who do not value money, and there are not even those of the Si family. Si Zhuan's father dreams of squandering the gold.

As a result, he really caught up with a good opportunity. Shortly after he took over the Si family, the Qi Dynasty established itself in Chu, and the world was in chaos again.

War disasters, severe droughts, locust plagues... there are refugees everywhere, and you can just find a name for land reclamation, and you can coax and deceive them and bring in a group.

At first, he did not dare to make a big fuss. He had to stumble through the transactions of those people, and compared the records of mining and refining gold left by the ancestors of the Si family, he stumbling.

The head of the Si family is very obedient and has no close responsibilities, but his son is very capable.

Si Zhuan found that his family suddenly became rich, and even outsiders were talking about it. He was very suspicious. After several verifications, he found the secret of the gold mine. He looked at his father and was furious.

In order to conceal the sudden increase in the Si family's wealth, Si Zhuan thought hard and decided to use spiritual medicine to make a fuss.

Speaking of spiritual medicine, the Si family has indeed dug up a lot.

It’s strange that there are no prosperous plants and trees near the mine veins, but Silang Mountain is an exception.

From outsiders, the plants and trees in Silang Mountain are neither sparse nor dense, similar to other mountains. If they knew that there was a gold mine here, it was still such a huge gold mine, they probably wouldn't think so.

There are often spiritual medicines in the deep mountains, and they are all good things for more than a hundred years.

It's strange that whenever the Si family dug a new tunnel, they will definitely find secretly growing elixirs nearby soon. Although the number is not large, it is enough to deal with it temporarily.

The Si family sold spiritual medicines and used them to bribe the powerful and nobles.

This is not a long-term solution. Si Zhuan proposed to do business, and he had to do a large business. The caravans came and went, not only did the wealth have a legitimate source, but outsiders did not look eye-catching in Qiuling County.

The head of the Si family was very reluctant, but Si Zhuan was very polite. He only cared about gold and silver, and he could only squander gold and silver happily. How could he do business at will and do something big? Businessmen are so easy to do, so why don’t everyone in the world do business?

As a result, when the head of the Si family came back to their senses, Qiuling County had changed its appearance. Everyone in the Si family was convinced by the young master. The young master's prestige was far superior to the head of the family in the Si family.

The head of the Si family was very dissatisfied and could only hold the gold mine and deliberately refused to let his son intervene.

However, what Si Zhuan likes is not the position of the head of the family, his ambitions are in the world.

"...The gold mines are all in charge of the master of the hometown, and the young master only cared for the business of the Si family." Si Zhuan's subordinates tried their best to defend themselves and pushed the blame to the master of the hometown who was buried in the stone castle without any trace.

It’s not that they are loyal to Si Zhuan, but that in the current situation, if they want to survive, they must pick Si Zhuan cleanly.

Si Zhuan was clean, and those who obeyed others' orders would be less guilty.

They are so clever that they can't even deceive Mo Li, let alone Meng Qi.

Meng Qi sat by the tree, in front of him was a group of Si Zhuan's subordinates who were so painful that they wanted to roll all over the ground. They were not as ignorant as the people of Qinghu Town. They knew clearly that this severe pain was because a powerful spiritual energy leaped into their meridians. As long as they could be held back, there would be no substantial harm.

"Avoid the important and light." Meng Qi raised his foot and kicked the person who spoke back to Mo Li, and asked with a sneer, "I didn't mention a word I should say. Where did your young master's martial arts come from? And you?"

"...We, we were recruited by the Si family with gold, and we don't know the young master's martial arts."

Everyone's eyes dodged and hesitated.

Si Zhuan was lying in the mud, Mo Li cut his wrist, then tapped Si Zhuan's acupoint and threw the person there.

Neither digging or torture, Si Zhuan's appearance became more and more strange. His breath was heavy, his forehead was bulging, and his whole body seemed to be about to roar, but he couldn't move and could not make a sound.

General Liu's personal soldiers were frightened by the sight.

There is no way, the fields here are empty, and there is only a place to shelter from the trees.

Although Liu Dan wanted to leave here immediately, he had to stay when involved in the plot of the Si family. Even if he was drowsy and couldn't hear anything, his personal soldiers were there.

"Is this... a legendary Gu?"

Si Zhuan's intention to struggle was too obvious, but his eyes were empty, as if he could not see anything, his expression was ferocious, as if he was an evil ghost.

The wound on his wrist was not deep. Every time healed, the moli would condense his energy into a blade and then use a shallow cut on the wound.

Liu Dan and others survived the bloody battle on the battlefield. They knew very well how much blood a person shed before they could die. Si Zhuan's blood shed a lot, but he was still far from death. He was so weak that he was afraid of becoming like this?

"I don't raise a Gu." Mo Li suddenly said.

General Liu's personal soldiers covered their mouths and retracted.

"Tsk, doctor, your move is scary." Meng Qi had good eyesight, and he said slowly behind him, "Closing the acupoints, you can't hear or see them, and you can't move them. You can only feel your blood slowly flowing out, getting closer and closer to death."

"Birth, old age, sickness and death are common things for human beings. Except for those with firm will, most people are not afraid of death, just because they have not figured out what the process of death is, and doctors are the ones they see the most."

Mo Li looked at Si Zhuan's continuous bleeding wound. Every knife he slashed was accurate. The bleeding was drop by drop, neither too much nor too little.

"...He wants to kill someone to vent his anger, so I let him feel what 'death' is."

Mo Li wiped off the blood marks on the knife and said slowly, "It gradually went toward death, but there was nothing to do. This kind of anger and despair is the most suitable."

Meng Qi was a little dazed when he heard this, and soon came back to his senses. He subconsciously looked at the tree he was holding with his right hand.

The branches of this tree grow very strangely, but after the leaves are born, the dense canopy blocks the view of others. From a distance, it looks like a tree with a relatively large canopy and should not be prosperous in winter.

If someone stops and looks carefully, he will find that he cannot recognize what the tree is.

It's not like a camphor tree or a locust tree. It looks like it, and it doesn't rely on both sides.

The doctor said before that it is not safe to place trees here.

This description is very strange. Why should we ensure the safety of a tree? What's more bizarre is that I agree without thinking about it, and I think this tree is very important?

Meng Qi remembered the confession of the Si family that all the trees in front of the stone fort were cut down.

I dug up the mountains and cut down the trees...

Now they watched this tree grow up with their own eyes, not from the ground, but from half of the stump. Is this considered new life? In an instant, it became so dense, it was so illusory!

There is mud around and there is no grass on the ground.

It seems that after this tree grows, the momentum of crazy grass budding has also been curbed.

Meng Qi calmed down and reminded Mo Li: "We have something else to do."

The tree has only been dug halfway.

Mo Li simply cut Si Zhuan's other hand.

Meng Qi turned his head and looked at the Si family with a smile and said, "I don't have the skills as good as a doctor. I have been in the martial arts world for many years, so I can pick some hand tendons and pipa bones and other things!"

“…”

"I still refuse to say it? The Si family is over, and your young master will not leave Silang Mountain alive. What's the point of keeping a secret for the Si family? You are not the main evildoers, let alone we are the people of the Jianghu, the court cannot control it. Even if you follow the court's laws, you will be sentenced to exile for three thousand miles at most."

Meng Qi looked sarcastic and said condescendingly, "Think about it, if you are killed, if you are deprived of your martial arts and then taken away by General Liu, what will happen to you? Those who know the times are heroes!"

Everyone in the Si family looked at each other, and someone hesitated and said, "Young Master really can't hear the sound outside?"

"Closed the acupoint, temporary!" Meng Qi leaned his head and said, "You are so careful. It seems that it is not as simple as loyal to Si Zhuan."

The man gritted his teeth and said, "Si Zhuan is the closed disciple secretly accepted by the ancestor Qingwu."

"Ancestor Qingwu?"

Meng Qi and Mo Li fell into deep thought at the same time.

Thinking about it again and again, but still-

"I haven't heard of it, who is this person?"

Everyone in the Si family was stunned. Are these two people still martial arts masters?

"Liu Qiandai, do you know?" Meng Qi turned around and asked.

Liu Dan pointed at him and couldn't speak for a long time. Why did he become a wallet? Besides, when it comes to martial arts masters, he shouldn't ask him about it?

However, no matter how much I think about it, the national teacher asked, it would be better to answer, after all, I can't afford to offend me.

"Well, the ancestor of Qingwu, Zhao Zangfeng, is the most powerful master in the world." General Liu also said casually why he knew this person. "I heard that he had a disciple who served as a rebel who claimed to be the King of Heaven. Because of his high martial arts skills, the people who assassinated King of Heaven failed one after another."

"...How many disciples do he have? Why do they all want to rebel?"
