Nightwatcher Chapter 68: Mine
The carriage quickly left the inner city, and several good horses for officials were led by the white servants and waited at the gate of the city.
Xu Qi'an and his group changed to fast horses, passed through the streets and downtown areas of the outer city, and left the outer city in only half an hour. Liuqi immediately accelerated and rushed to Dahuang Mountain.
"The official horse runs fast. It's almost fifty yards. Can the horse in my previous life run so fast..." Xu Qi'an muttered.
What is the difference caused by the different aura content that often appears in novels?
This speculation is reasonable, because the Qi training instinct is a way of breathing out.
A group of people arrived at the edge of Dahuang Mountain at noon, stopped by the official road, tied the horse rope to the trunk of the road, and after eating dry food, they copied a sheep intestine path into the mountain.
Six people rushed on the road, and a quarter of an hour later, they came to the river flowing through the foot of Dahuang Mountain.
After searching along the river for a while, they found a few fuzzy footprints, about three feet long, one and a half feet wide, with four toes.
Lu Qing and two colleagues took off the package on their backs, took out the explosive package, and distributed them to the three of Xu Qi'an:
"With the paw print as the center, let's go down and throw the explosive bag, you go upstream and see if you can force the monster out of the river."
This is a plan that has already been decided.
The Dafeng Dynasty had very strict management of gunpowder, the formula was kept secret, and all the materials needed to make gunpowder were monopolized by the court.
Even if the guards, Lu Qing and other government officials quickly know about the composition of gunpowder.
still smelled it.
Both sides set the explosive package on fire and throw it into the river.
"Boom!"
A dull explosion sounded, and the river water splashed several feet high.
Soon, the dynamite bag was exhausted, and a group of people stood on the shore, watching the rolling waves. After waiting for a long time, they didn't see the monsters surfaced on the river.
"It would be great if there was a warlock from the Sitianjian to help." Xu Qi'an said with emotion.
Wang Qi technique can locate the monster by observing the evil energy.
Song Tingfeng "ha" whispered in a low voice: "The warlocks of the Sitianjian are more noble and noble than us. They only follow orders. Don't expect to work on such small cases."
The warlock of the Sitianjian is noble? Why don't I think you haven't seen their expressions when they look at me with admiration.
Xu Qi'an nodded "Um".
When the two parties met, Song Tingfeng shrugged: "It seems that it will not come out. My suggestion is to go into the mountains and have a look. If there is really something in the Dahuang Mountain."
Xu Qi'an added: "First check the area where the gray households collect limestone."
Lu Qing nodded in a groan.
Two groups of people entered the mountain in batches, one after the other, separated by tens of meters.
Song Tingfeng turned towards Lu Qing’s back, and said, "This female head-catcher from the government office has an incredible figure. Look at that butt, tight and strong, with strong legs, which can hold you in the sky. Besides, although the girl from Jiaofangsi is very fluid, she is still too weak."
agree, and this kind of martial arts woman has vest lines, smooth curves, tight thighs, and maybe shallow abdominal muscles.....This reminds me of my wife Tifa ..... Xu Qi'an deliberately said: "But she seems to be used to wrapping her breasts. This is not good. It will cause her **** to deform and droop."
Song Tingfeng was taken aback, and laughed: "You really noticed, I just lack a funny companion like you, Zhu Guangxiao is a dull gourd who can't beat a fart with three sticks."
For men, chatting with meat is always a fun and time-consuming entertainment.
Zhu Guangxiao glanced at him, and said nothing.
Huihu mainly collects on the main peak of Dahuang Mountain. A group of people can see the exposed rocky mountain from a distance, like white spots on the face.
Years of mining have destroyed this towering main peak through thousands of holes.
The two sides searched aimlessly in the mountain for a long time, and found nothing of value.
When got together to drink water, Lu Qing said: "Dahuang Mountain not only has high-quality limestone, but also rich vegetation, which can be cut on the spot to be used as dyes. It is extremely convenient for the ashers to open the kiln. Broken.
"There is a river at the foot of the mountain, and the transportation of water is also convenient. The firewood is gray and beautiful, and the power is half and profitable."
Another arrester from the government office quickly added: "So the tax is heavy, and if you can't collect the ashes, your way is cut off."
So I told the government...Xu Qi'an was silent for a moment, and sighed: "Excessive taxes and taxes have spawned refugees. Minzhiminbao is the most delicious food."
Everyone was silent for a moment, and no one dared to take the trouble.
Song Tingfeng coughed, and changed the subject: "The monster can't get out of the water, and there is not enough manpower to search the mountain. Lu catching his head, do you have any suggestions."
Although she was still greedy for others' body just now, Song Tingfeng would not despise this woman because of her big breasts.
Lv Qing said carefully: "We are divided into three groups, two of us in a team, we go to the chief of the nearby village respectively; go back to the capital to gather the mountain search personnel; I go to Master Fu Yin to ask for a request, find a Sitian The supervising warlock is here to help."
"That would be a waste of time," Xu Qi'an waved his hand and said, "Choose someone to find the chief of the nearby village, and the rest will stay here."
Lu Qing frowned.
Xu Qi'an glanced at her: "If there is no gain, I am responsible for going to the Sitianjian to find a warlock."
What he said is pretty sure... Can the warlock of Sitianjian listen to him?
Lu Qing examined Xu Qi'an for a moment, nodded slightly, and sent a companion to invite someone.
Within half an hour, the catcher at the peak of the refinement realm quickly returned with an old man.
"The villain's surname is Zhang, he is the head of Hegou Village outside the Dahuang Mountain." The old man bowed in an unstandard manner, his tone excited:
"The villain finally waited for a few adults. If you don't come, the people in the village won't be able to open the pot."
This matter dragged on for half a year.
Lu Qing stared at him with sharp eyes and a majestic expression: "My official asked you, where did the ten people who entered the mountain last died?"
"In the south..." Long pointed to the south of the mountains: "I entered from the opposite direction of the river."
Song Tingfeng's heart moved: "There are ash-burning kilns there too?"
After exploring just now, they found that the most densely burned ashes were not far from the river. The ash households detoured into the mountain, surely not daring to choose to burn ashes here.
Because once the monster comes ashore, no one can escape.
Li Chang nodded: "A few bits and pieces, not as many here."
"Take us." Lu Qing said solemnly.
"Yes!" The chief seemed to be afraid of the female head catcher.
A group of people walked to the south. The mountain road was rugged and climbing was extremely difficult. I also have to take into account that the horrible old man who grows in here is not going fast.
"It’s here~IndoMTL.com~ stopped on the intestine trail and pointed to the front. It was an open space that was dug out.
Rocks are piled up, vegetation is cut down, and there are several cave-like kilns for burning ashes.
A few people searched the scene, but no valuable clues were found. They have been cleaned up long ago.
Song Tingfeng and Lu Qing looked at each other and shook their heads.
Xu Qi'an said: "Go into the kiln and take a look."
several people collected materials on the spot, lit a torch, took out their sabers, and cautiously entered the earthen kiln.
originally thought it was just a kiln for burning ashes, not too deep, but walking, Xu Qian and others realized something was wrong.
Where is the kiln? It is clearly a tunnel dug by the population. It takes a cup of tea to walk to the end.
Song Tingfeng squinted his eyes and said: "You don't need to dig so deep in the kiln. This is obviously digging something, and there are no traces of smoke and fire on the stone wall."
Lu Qing recruited the chief, and asked, "What's the matter?"
is stunned, and he said: "I, I don't know..."
Xu Qi'an held a torch, observed the rock wall, and carefully surveyed the ground for a while. Picked up a piece of white ore with a palm.
Is this thing mined?
This doesn’t seem to be limestone.
Xu Qi'an exerted force in his palms, his energy surged, and he squeezed the white ore into powder in the sound of "click".
He held the torch and threw the powder like flames.
hu!
The torch burst into flames instantly, and the bright yellow contained a dim purple.
Saltpeter? !
Xu Qi'an's pupils shrank.
The sudden rise of flames surprised everyone in the grotto, and the sound of the saber condensing energy came one after another.
Lu Qing saw that Xu Qi'an had committed a ghost, slightly angry: "What are you doing?"
