43. People hide from their tracks(2/2)
Meng Qi instinctively felt that this was not an ordinary martial arts master. Rather than saying that his disciple wanted to rebel, it would be better to say that he specially chose those who were ambitious and capable as his disciples.
The people from the Si family said in embarrassment: "We are relying on the Si family, and we dare not offend the Qingwu Ancestor."
"If the Si family is successful, you will have wealth and glory. If the Si family falls, you can clap your hands and turn around and leave." Meng Qi exposed their thoughts, and everyone endured the pain that came out of their meridians from time to time and did not dare to say anything.
"Where are those hard laborers who were kidnapped by the Si family? Where are they buried?"
"I really don't know that the Si family has dug too many tunnels. Every time one is dug, it will be refilled. Those corpses..."
Mo Li asked expressionlessly: "How many people died?"
The people from the Si family hesitated and said, "No one knows what happened seventy years ago. In the past five years, there will be more than two thousand people."
"Hmm?" Mo Li said coldly, "Your young master, I seem to have said just now that the entire mountain has been hollowed out. Think about it again? Two thousand people?"
"I remember it wrongly, it's four thousand!"
"All dead?"
The subordinates of the Si family only dared to nod and did not speak out.
Mo Li took a deep breath and said nothing.
The corpses buried in the soil may make the soil fertile, but where too many people have died, no grass grows, and this is the case in many ancient battlefields.
There were white bones, layer by layer, and he couldn't help Qiuhong find the corpse that belonged to her brother.
These people in troubled times tried hard to live and came to reclaim the land with hope, but they did not expect to fall into purgatory. From then on, they disappeared silently in this deep mountain.
The dragon vein of Silang Mountain is likely to transform into a tree. It stands in the mountains, on the shallowest edge of the gold mine, and it is also where spiritual energy meets.
Before it had a consciousness, the gold mine was discovered, Sijiabao was built, the soil was destroyed, and the tree mixed in the woods was affected and cut down together.
However, the tree has roots and is not completely dead. The dragon vein itself has not been severely damaged, but has only transformed...it is probably impossible again.
The days that followed not only did not get better for the dragon vein, but also worse.
The spiritual energy leaked out, the mountain was destroyed, and countless people who died in vain were buried in the place that was originally full of spiritual energy.
The dragon vein lasted for decades and received a breath of respite in the Chu Dynasty. Unexpectedly, the world was in chaos and the Si family completely destroyed it in the last seven years.
Both are dragon veins, and they are also born in the place where spiritual energy meets, but—
Mo Li closed her eyes and asked sternly: "Where is the last batch? Where is it?"
"The Si family hid these things very tightly. We all walked from the underground. We only knew the approximate range. Now that Silang Mountain has become like this, we don't know the specific location..."
"Walk!"
After Mo Li finished speaking, he suddenly saw Meng Qi holding the tree and realized that they had to dig out the tree first.
"Draw a map!" Meng Qi ordered very cooperatively.
The Si family drew a map tremblingly, then watched Meng Qi and Mo Li dig the tree carefully, and then one carried Si Zhuan and the other carried the tree and left like that.
"…Your Excellency!”
The ban on them has not been resolved yet!
Meng Qi seemed to remember something and squeezed out a hideous smile: "Don't worry, the ban will be automatically untied after five hours. However, before that, in order to ensure the safety of their general, the personal soldiers of the bandits will cut off your hands and feet, or necks first!"
"What? You said-"
"What did I say? The people of Jianghu cannot control the court and will be exiled at most for three thousand miles? I am not a court official, so I don't care about my words!"
Meng Qi waved to General Liu and others whose expressions changed: "Have you seen us in Silang Mountain? Do you know who I am?"
Liu Dan: “…”
Do he dare to say he know? Do he dare to say he has seen it?
When he met the national rank of the previous dynasty, the national rank not only did not kill him, but also helped them. General Liu felt that he could not cleanse his jump into the Yellow River and could not disclose this matter. Otherwise, he would not only lose his holy family, but also cause suspicion. The removal of his post was a little bitch and imprisonment. So he decisively said to his personal soldiers: "These people cannot be kept, kill them all."
