Travel thousands of miles in my life

A faint fragrance of flowers gradually filled the air, drifting away with the hot wind.

The weird man trampled on the bottom kept yelling, Yan Wuwu frowned more and more, and Wen Shuqiu came out of the cave before his patience ran out.He squatted in front of the strange man and carefully examined the man's face. He could see that he was originally a man with ordinary features, but now his face had collapsed into pieces for some reason, making him look very terrifying.

"Do any of you speak official language?" Wen Shuqiu stood up and looked at the five people lying around.Those strange people looked at each other, whispered a few more words, and then slowly stood up a man clutching his chest, he said vaguely: "I, I will say."

Hearing this person's accent, he seemed to be a person facing the south, but he didn't know why he came here and became like this.Seeing his vigilant look, Wen Shuqiu comforted him, "Don't be nervous, I only ask you three questions."

"Say..." Because of the nervousness, the man was breathing quickly.

"Where is this place? What disease do you have? Why did you get caught when you broke in?" Wen Shuqiu organized his thoughts and asked. At the same time, he also noticed that after he asked these questions, those strange people became more nervous.

The man hesitated, as if weighing whether or not to speak up.Seeing this, Yan Wuyi said coldly: "The current situation seems to be too much for you to think about."

The man looked around at his companion lying on the ground clutching his chest and writhing in pain, and gritted his teeth: "This is the Shizhen mining area, we are not sick, you are foreigners, of course you will be arrested if you break in!"

"Isn't Stone Town in the south, the mining area? What mine?" Yan Wuwu asked in a deep voice.

"Stone Town is gone long ago, what we dug for was rock gold." The man gave him a bitter look, "I've said everything I can, why don't you let us go."

"We never said we would let you go." Yan Wuwu laughed, took the rope and tied them up again, "Please stay here for a while."

After speaking, he gave everyone a knife, and together with Wen Shuqiu dragged them into the cave.After doing this, the two looked at each other and felt a headache again.

"What do you think?" Yan Wuxin touched his chin.

"It's very strange. According to the law of the current dynasty, all mining areas, river sources, salt production, and stone areas, no matter how big or small, must be guarded by at least one school lieutenant and three teams leading troops. Like Roshna, a subsidiary country that exists in name only, mineral resources The important area should be guarded by a Captain Zhechong. But since entering this canyon until now, I haven’t seen any regular soldiers patrolling, nor have I seen a cavalry sentry. Maybe here...” Wen Shuqiu sighed With a breath, I had a bad association, "Besides, from what he said, what does it mean that Shizhen is gone?"

"I don't know, maybe it's not under the management of the court at all." Yan Wuwu thought for a while, "I'm hiding it for the time being, and when I go to explore it in the dark at night, what they dig should not be as simple as rock gold."

The two found a protruding stone platform on the cliff, the size of a table, just enough to hide two people.The surrounding trees are a little bit covered, and Yan Wuxin is not too worried about being discovered by others.

"Take a break and sort out our current clues." Yan Wuxin took out the black box from his sleeve, groped it again, and laughed at himself: "It still can't be opened."

"According to Daochang Lu, this curse may not be the so-called curse, but it is not clear what it is. I guess it may be an accident, a major accident." Wen Shuqiu tapped the ground lightly with his fingers, "Shaozhuang The Lord died unexpectedly, there is a palm print on the body, are you the only one present who is a master of palm?"

"Exactly, I'm the only one." Yan Wuxin recalled it, and said firmly, "But this kind of palm print, as long as it is a person with high internal strength, it can have the same effect. It's just that the body of the young master It will be considered mine only if it has the scent of the salsa flower."

"As we all know, Xuqing Palm has a close relationship with Buddhism, and when it is played, it has the fragrance of Udumbara flowers. That is to say, you alone have the biggest suspicion. There are many doubts in this matter. Since you didn't kill the person, then I I think you can let go of his death for the time being." Seeing Yan Wuwu's puzzled eyes, Wen Shuqiu lowered his eyes, "In other words, you might as well think about why Master Kong would ruin your reputation at all costs, And bribe the killer to chase you down."

"Because he suspects that the death of the young master is related to me." Yan Wuwu frowned and said.

"If that's the case, then why didn't you have any killers after you arrived at Roshna's land?" Wen Shuqiu shook his head.

Yan Wuwu thought hard, and suddenly a flash of inspiration occurred, he thought of Hong Sanniang's unintentional words, and blurted out: "Maybe I saw something that I shouldn't have seen."

Wen Shuqiu was exceptionally intelligent, so of course he understood his unfinished intentions, and glanced at the black box: "I think it should be the case, he doesn't care about you now, maybe because he knows that someone else can kill you, and it's done. "

Then the whole thing has a clear line. First, Yan Wuwu was invited by his friends to enter the villa, then the young owner was killed, Yan Wuwu entered the secret room to get the black box, and finally followed the pattern to investigate.After Wen Shuqiu had a general idea of ​​what was going on in his mind, he rubbed the center of his brows wearily: "Brother Yan, I have a guess. It might make you feel uncomfortable if you say it, but let's listen."

"That friend of yours may also be involved in this situation." Wen Shuqiu said it, feeling a little uncomfortable. Although he had only been together for a few months, he knew that Yan Wuyi was a person who valued his friends extremely.

Yan Wuwu smiled bitterly: "I know, I guessed it before, but I don't know why he did this."

Wen Shuqiu frowned and said, "Who is it?"

"Monk Wuxi can be regarded as my old friend." Yan Wuxin didn't hide it, and his perception of this person was a bit complicated at the moment, "In short, after this incident, I don't have much contact with my former friends. Feel sorry for them."

This river and lake is big enough to support people from all over the world, and they can change their names and surnames to start a new life wherever they want.But this Jianghu is said to be small, but it is really small, and the connection between people is constantly cut.Today, Yan Wuwu's bad reputation will also affect his friends, which really makes him feel guilty.

"..." Wen Shuqiu sighed softly, "In this world, no one can say otherwise."

The night fell, and the sky was full of stars.

Thousands of torches were lit in the canyon, as well as hundreds of oil lamps sporadically, which together illuminated the canyon as bright as day.Countless people poured out of the white-roofed houses with hoes and shovels on their shoulders, converging into rivers of fire, rushing to the depths of the canyon.Even in such a "grand" scene, there is no sound of people, only the sound of chaotic footsteps and the clang of tools colliding together.

The two exchanged a look, and Yan Wuwu jumped up from the stone platform with Wen Shuqiu in his arms, looking in the air, there were probably dozens of mines at the end of the "river".

The mines are arranged in a "one" shape, or in the shape of a Big Dipper, and the forms are not limited to one, including inclined shafts, flat lanes, and vertical shafts.These mines are all excavated to the Bliss Mountains along the exposed water jade veins. Those people probably want to drill rocks to extract gold according to the direction of the veins.

The people below were not all weird faces with scary faces. Wen Shuqiu could clearly see women with delicate features, muscular men in their prime, and old men with white hair.Next to the team is a guard riding a horse, holding a torture stick and a whip in his hand, and from time to time he will whip the person at the end of the team.Those who fall at the end of the line are often women and children, and they can be beaten to pieces with blood.But even so, no one made a sound, and the beaten person could only sob a few times while holding his wound, and dared not say a single extra word.Yan Wuxin glanced at a few strong men in the team, but they all turned a deaf ear.

"They have martial arts." Wen Shuqiu said angrily, "Why didn't they save them?"

"Because their martial arts have been abolished." Yan Wuwu looked solemn, "The muscles and bones are all abolished, and it is impossible to practice martial arts in the future."

The river came to the mine, and soon there was a clanging sound, everyone's face was numb, as if they were used to this brutal life.Compared with them, people on horseback are much more reckless, not only can they bring some food, but they can also get together and talk quietly.

"I heard that the lord is coming today." A tall and thin man said in a low voice, surrounded by several people, upon hearing this, the faces of the other several people showed expressions of shock and fear.

"Which lord...?" asked another.

"Who else can there be? The leader of that gang of killing gods." The tall and thin man lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "You don't know, that lord seems to have come here to search for something. By then If we brothers cooperate well, it is estimated that we will be indispensable."

Several people had drunk alcohol before coming, and now they were drunk, and they completely forgot about the rules and regulations.

There was a sound of fast horseshoes in a hurry ahead, in unison and orderly pace.More than ten people are all riding black horses, wearing uniform gray costumes, and wearing masks on their faces.And the one walking in the front was a thin and pale man, he didn't know what he heard, he stopped his horse suddenly, frowned and turned his head to look around, after seeing a few people, he made a gesture, and the people behind him also responded and stop.

"Are you the guard here?" The man narrowed his eyes.Several people immediately sobered up, rolled off their horses, knelt on the ground and said yes.

The man sneered: "Neglect of duty, behead."

Without waiting for a few people to react, a subordinate behind the man jumped off the horse in an instant, turned over flexibly in the air, drew out the long knife behind his back almost at the same time as he landed, and slashed forward. Just at the very moment, something happened!The long knife was hit by a stone and missed its aim, barely cutting off the ear of an unlucky guy.Then there was a swift palm wind, the subordinate reacted very alertly, seeing someone blocking him, he didn't want to fight, swung his knife to block the palm wind and returned to the man.

"I just said why the sound of the wind is wrong." The man said blankly, "Come out."
