We already have a rough idea of the location of the ore vein, so it will be easy to do next.
Of course, Ximen Qing's alloy double-eyed human flesh prospector can't move yet. To find the real place, we need to use the thunderstone to sift through the entire place.
From the mountain peaks, the golden and silver dragons are clearly visible, but once you get to the mountains, you can see the gold-colored aura of local tyrants and the silvery mist in the northeast, looming in the mountains and forests.
Of course, only Ximen Qing can see all this.
Things become strange as they grow old. Ximen Qing has also heard before that gold and silver give birth to monsters over time, and all kinds of strange things will happen. Of course, at that time, it was just a joke, but now Ximen Qing hopes that gold and silver can pop out on their own.
, save yourself the effort.
After wandering around the mountain for a long time, the jade-armed craftsman Jin Dajian finally settled on a place according to Ximen Qing's instructions. Scar-faced tiger Liu Renzhong was about to go back and call the blood-blowing soldiers to come and dig, when suddenly the mountain shook violently, and rocks of all sizes rolled around.
, everyone had no choice but to find a big tree to take shelter for a while.
"Could it be that the mountain god is angry?" Jin Dajian's profession convinced him that every mountain has a god. Every time he quarries, he needs to burn incense and pray. If he encountered a situation like today, Jin Dajian would not do anything.
.
"Where did the mountain god come from?" Ximen Qing couldn't help but shook his head and said, "It's just the release of the earth's energy."
Jin Dajian suddenly said: "That's it!"
The so-called release of earth energy is an earthquake.
Japan's islands, large and small, are all in earthquake zones, so a small earthquake would be nothing.
Since the mountain god was not angry, Jin Dajian put down his worries and waited for the aftermath to pass. He took the lead to come out to check. Ximen Qing patted his clothes a few times, and the dust that was shaken out was quite a bit.
"Sir! Come and see!"
Ximen Qing was still busy taking pictures of his clothes, while Jin Dajian was already shouting over there.
Everyone rushed over, but they never thought that the mountain wall on the opposite side actually cracked a crack large enough for a person to enter easily.
I have to say that this location happens to be near the location just selected...
"God's will! This is God's will!" Jin Dajian was so shocked that he fell to his knees on the ground: "Thank you, Mountain God!"
Ximen Qingyun used his "Qi Watching Technique" to look around, and saw that the mist of wealthy gold was pouring out from this crack...it was ten times stronger than before.
Needless to say, this is where the gold veins are located. The earthquake came neither early nor late, nor big nor small, but it saved a lot of time!
For the first time, Ximen Qing admitted that he indeed had great luck.
God also wants to help me! Split the mountain!
Scar-faced tiger Liu Renzhong and jade-armed craftsman Jin Dajian went in first, followed by Ximen Qing, who used thunderstones to illuminate the cracks... This is much better than torches and miner's lamps.
Gold! Gold! Gold!
The oncoming rocks were dotted with dots, all of which were gold illuminated by thunder stones. The jade-armed craftsman Jin Dajian even took out his chisel and hammer, and dug out a palm-sized piece from the rocks in just two strokes.
"Stone"...
Gold nugget!
"My lord, you have a profound blessing!" Jin Dajian was so excited that he could hardly understand what he was saying.
Ximen Qing nodded silently, Sado Island finally got off to a good start!
...
...
A few days later, He Mazi and Xiao Muzou protected Ximen Qing and quietly returned to Kyoto. Everyone almost lifted the roof after hearing the good news; Zou Hong was also extremely excited. The copper mines were all controlled by the imperial court, not to mention
Gold mines and silver mines.
If you can occupy such a mountain of gold and silver, your future plans will be able to continue smoothly.
Jin Dajian carefully removed some impurities from the palm-sized piece of nugget gold, and polished it with a soft cloth for half a day. It was already shiny yellow and orange, and was no longer the original appearance.
Ximen Qing placed the gold nugget on the table, pressed both sides of the table with his hands, and said in a deep voice: "Now that the first step has been taken, the next step is to ensure that the secret will not be leaked, and that it can be owned for a long time.
Provide necessary support for our plan to control Japan."
Zou Hong also became more serious than ever: "Then we must capture that old dog in Baihe as soon as possible."
Next to him, Kinoshita Tokichiro was dumbfounded. That old dog? Emperor Shirakawa holds great power in the imperial court and is truly the Lord of Japan!
"Third brother, what's the situation at the Imperial Palace now?" Ximen Qing turned to ask Shi Qian.
Adachi and Kikuko were both with Emperor Toba. Although Kikuko sent information many times, Ximen Qing always felt that there was a risk, so in the end, he still persuaded Tokikin, the thief ancestor, to take over the task without hesitation.
"In the words of the elder brother, the young man Toba is very emotionally stable now." Shi Qian stroked Gouyou's beard and said: "But Fujiwara Shoko is jumping around anxiously... I have gone to investigate several times, and this woman has sex every day.
He's running to his old lover, he's been a little pregnant lately."
"Okay!" Ximen Qing's eyes lit up: "So the time has almost arrived...I thought it would take ten days and a half..."
"Brother, what do you mean, do it?" Shi Qian put his hand on his neck: "How about I go get the head of Bai He's old dog tonight...?"
There was a "pop", and Kinoshita Tokichiro was already sitting on the ground next to him. If Sugawara Takauchi was here, he would probably be stunned. During this time, this nerd also went to the Imperial Palace to accompany Emperor Toba to play chess or something, and Ximen happened to
Qing also didn't want him to know all this, so as not to cause trouble.
You know, sometimes if you read too much, you will easily enter a dead end and make some abnormal behaviors.
Sang Sanniang was also greatly shocked. In the eyes of Ximen Qing, Shi Qian and others, the so-called Lord of Japan was just an old dog who could be killed at any time...
"It's not impossible to kill Shirakawa, but you have to consider Toba's feelings." Ximen Qing chuckled and shook his head to deny Shi Qian's idea: "Although this old dog is not a good thing, he is Toba's relative after all.
Grandfather, even if we discuss it with Toba, he may not agree."
"What do you think, brother?" Shi Qian spread his hands and said, "I know you are the only one with more ideas."
Ximen Qing opened "Dongpo Layman's Fan" and shook it. He tilted his head and thought for a moment: "Of course Toba has the final say on how to deal with that old dog in Shirakawa, but we can't exert some influence.
force..."
"Tomorrow I will go to see you in person and tell you a story about a caged bird."
...
...
Early the next morning.
Seeing Ximen Qing appear, Toba showed a smile on his face.
"Master Ximen, no courtesy, please take a seat!" Toba ordered someone to serve tea: "I heard that Master Ximen is not in Kyoto these days?"
Ximen Qingshi sat down and was not in a hurry to drink the tea that was brought to him. Instead, he smiled slightly: "There are some business matters that I need to deal with. Although it took a while, I finally got it stable. Let's
Your Majesty is impatiently waiting!"
"What are you talking about, Simon-sama?" Emperor Toba, under the care of An Daoquan these days, has actually seen blood on his face, and his whole body looks much stronger: "But I don't understand a little bit, Simon-sama is an emperor.
A city envoy can actually do business?"
Ximen Qing sighed slightly: "Your Majesty, no one can stop me from doing what I want to do. This mission's journey eastward will cost a lot of money. As usual, I got some goods to make up for the expenses."
The young man opposite suddenly showed an envious look: "How great would it be if I could be as carefree as the envoy of Ximen Imperial City, doing what I want to do?"
Ximen Qing played with the Lei Gong Stone and took a sip from the teacup: "Your Majesty is the Lord of Japan. Is there something else that you want to do but can't do?"
Emperor Toba coughed: "Stay back!"
The waiters serving next to him all followed the instructions and exited, closing the door behind them.
"Well, the Ximen Imperial City Envoy is also a sensible person, so he naturally knows that I, the Lord of Japan, am only in name only." Emperor Toba sighed, gritted his teeth and said, "If it hadn't been for Ximen-sama's advice, I would have already slept with that woman!"
When Emperor Toba mentioned this, the look of disgust on his face was clear: "I... am just a puppet."
Ximen Qing smiled secretly in his heart, as long as he could say these words, it would be easy.
"Right now Fujiwara Shoko can't stay any longer in the Chengxiang Hall." Emperor Toba smiled bitterly and said: "If she goes to ask the Emperor and issues an order, maybe I will have to wear the quilt even if I don't want to... I think
Everything feels wrong when I wake up! Why can Master Ximen teach me?"
Ximen Qing smiled and said nothing. Emperor Toba begged again and again, but Ximen Qing said: "I can't do anything about the royal family, I have to rely on Your Majesty himself!"
Emperor Toba fell to the ground, lowered his head and said in a voiceless voice: "Is there nothing we can do?"
"There is always a way." Ximen Qing laughed: "Your Majesty, I will tell you a story about a caged bird. Maybe it will inspire your Majesty..."
"Oh?" Emperor Toba raised his head: "Sir Ximen, you might as well tell me..."
"The story is very simple." Ximen Qing said slowly: "There is a singing cuckoo bird in a cage."
As soon as Ximen Kei said this, Emperor Toba felt the same and said with a wry smile: "I am just like this caged bird, except that I don't have a beautiful singing voice."
Ximen Qing coughed and shook his head: "Although your Majesty is in a bad situation right now, he is much better than a caged bird. At least he doesn't need to sing to win the favor of his master... My question is, if the cuckoo doesn't sing, you
What will happen?”
"Me?" Emperor Toba trembled: "I will wait patiently. One day, the cuckoo bird in the cage will show off its singing voice. Sometimes waiting... is always worth it."
"That's true." Ximen Qing smiled and said, "But the lifespan of a bird is not as long as that of a human... What if the bird dies while waiting?"
As soon as Ximen Qing said this, Emperor Toba's expression suddenly changed: "If it were Ximen-sama, what would he do?"
