China is not big, it only has five counties and one royal city, with a population of more than nine million.

Among them, Qiyun County has six counties under its jurisdiction and is adjacent to the poor Yunshan.

In the most remote Lushui County in the southeast, a hunter fell into the mountains and found a crystal clear pebble by a stream. He thought it was jade, so he gave it to the county magistrate.

Although County Magistrate Li was not a monk, he read a lot of books and felt that they were quite similar to the legendary spirit stone. So he rewarded the hunter with three taels of silver and told him not to spread the word, and to go to the mountain again to find out where the stone was found. At the same time, he compiled a letter and reported to the county magistrate.

The vitality of heaven and earth gathers to make life.

The so-called spiritual energy is the most concise and pure vitality.

The vital energy between heaven and earth is mixed. Even if the warrior refines a large amount of vital energy, he often only stores a little bit of true energy, which is still confusing and filthy. The spiritual energy in the blessed land of the cultivator's cave heaven is rich and can almost be directly converted into true energy.

The difference between force and magic power is huge, and it has a great relationship with spiritual energy. Even the powerful generals, facing the great monks who fly and escape from the earth, are only equivalent to slaves.

Spirit stones are stones containing spiritual energy, which are more expensive than gold.

If this stone in Lushui County is a spirit stone, it means that there may be mineral veins nearby.

That's amazing!

Not only is Qiyun County developed, but the strength of the entire Chinese country must be greatly improved.

The letter was sent out for five days, but no order was received from the county magistrate's office. The hunters who entered the mountain again did not turn around, and probably encountered an unexpected accident. The matter was very serious and County Magistrate Li could not wait. The secret order for the captain Ma Kong to rush to the county town to explain the situation.

The spirit stones will emit spiritual energy. In order to prevent robbery, County Magistrate Li came up with a wonderful way to cover up the breath with a truck of pickled salted fish, wrap the stones in tin foil and hide them in the pickled vegetable jar.

The masked boss is the powerful minion of the giant bandit "a gust of wind".

The tall man was named Lu Gui, and he only obeyed the boss. He heard that he mysteriously mentioned that the boss was an extremely powerful monk.

A gust of wind spread across Yun County for many years, but no one saw his true face. I got the news from somewhere and ordered the three to arrive at Lushui last night to kill the county magistrate Li to silence him. After the incident, the three learned that Ma Kong had rushed to the county town half a day in advance, so they chased after him.

Next, there is a scene that happened in the Mountain Temple.

After Lu Gui finished speaking, the temple was silent.

Everyone looked pale and looked at the boy in horror, waiting for the verdict. If he had also come for the spirit stone, he would not have been able to kill and silence him.

"Oh, so that's it."

Xin Tianyou was calm and ordered: "Go and find out the spirit stone."

Lu Gui was confident and went straight to the pickled cabbage jar. But he took out a pile of pickled cabbage and crushed it, but he could not find the stone. He was sobbing and scratched his head, and he had to go to the side palace to search.

Ma Cuihua kindly reminded.

"My father wanted to simmer the pickles and eat them. There was a lump of them buried in the ash pit. You can dig them to see."

When Ma Kong heard this, he was so depressed that he almost vomited blood and gave his daughter a fierce look.

Is this still my biological child? It’s a scam!

The girl gave him a blank look and said to herself, Humph, even if I don’t say it, Xiaotian will know.

Sure enough, I broke the black pickled cabbage that was dug out of the ashes, revealing a silvery thing, and I couldn't tell what it was.

Lu Gui looked at the boy and asked for instructions:

"My hands are dirty, so I'll wash them outside, okay?"

Mr. Xi snorted coldly, stepped forward to stop Lu Gui, and volunteered.

"Young hero, it's important, so you can't let him escape secretly. And if you're accompanied by Xi, how about you?"

Xin Tianyou shook his head and said:

"No need, he dares not run away. It seems that your lady's acupoint has not been untied yet."

Xi Qianli was stunned and quickly made way to clear the acupoints for Dong Shumin.

After a while, Lu Gui turned around from the back hall and carefully peeled off the tin foil. A stone slightly larger than a pigeon egg was immediately exposed, and a quiet atmosphere was everywhere.

Everyone suddenly felt refreshed all over, and every pore was extremely comfortable, and they looked at it curiously. Most people only heard of it, but had never seen a spirit stone.

Dong Shumin was untied her acupoints, and her legs were a little weak. She pushed her maid away and walked forward like a willow in the wind. She picked up a stone and looked at it. She closed her eyes and clenched her fists and said:

"What a spirit stone, it's better than the quality I've used. Mr. Xi, come and take a look."

Xi Qianli went forward to take the stone, studied it, and said:

"It is indeed a low-grade spirit stone, with pure spiritual energy. It has been ground into an egg shape, and it must have been washed down from the upstream of the stream. The exposure time should not be short, and the spiritual energy has not been cleaned. It may have been the best or even the best. If the ore veins are large enough, the young hero will be able to escort it to the court and then he can seal the thousand households after submitting it to the court."

After saying that, he handed the spirit stone back to Xin Tianyou, pulled off Lu Gui's face towel, pointed at his nose and scolded:

"How dare you kill the imperial officials? You, you deserve to be cut into pieces..."

Xi Qianli's eyes glared, and his fierce light was revealed, and he suddenly raised his palm. However, he saw the young man looking over with a smile, his palm suddenly froze in the air, he fell down and stroked his beard, sighing heavily.

Lu Gui lowered his head and said stutteringly:

"Mr. Li was killed by the boss, so I just kept watching the wind. At night, the magistrate's wife and maid sent soup to the study. I knocked them out halfway and saved the lives of the two people. The thief also has a saying, I will not kill the weak..."

Xin Tianyou interrupted the conversation and said disdainfully:

"Tsk, you'll stop pulling it. Just robbers, so what? Don't label yourself as a saint."

Miss Dong is a self-professional person and is more courageous than the sky. She smiled and looked at the boy and said:

"Hey, I did not read you wrongly, the living dead..."

The boy frowned and said:

"My name is Xin Tianyou, I'm not a living dead."

Dong Shumin covered her mouth and chuckled, suddenly remembering something. She tiptoed out a few steps, climbed the door frame and looked around for a while, then stuck out her tongue and retracted, asking:

"Xintianyou, aren't you afraid of the big tiger outside."

Seeing that the boy was silent, she didn't feel bored. She squeezed to Ma Cuihua's side to burn the fire and muttered: "I hate the cold spring most. It rains every time, and I'm so cold."

Xin Tianyou glanced at everyone and spoke Leng Bingbing.

"What you saw today and heard will be rotten into your stomach. Lingmine is not from County Magistrate Li, not from a gust of wind, nor from the court... Do you have any objections?"

Everyone looked at each other, who dared to have an objection?

Xi Qianli thought he wanted to monopolize the spirit mine, so he took the lead in expressing his opinion, saying:

"The natural creatures are naturally occupied by the strong. If the young heroes make a spiritual ore, we will never reveal a word to the outside world."

Xin Tianyou snorted and said:

"I won't live here either. It belongs to Yunshan. If a large group of people enter the mountain to mine, how many beasts will die? How many will the flowers, plants and trees lose their spiritual nourishment, and how many will they wither?"

Everyone was puzzled and thought, aren’t wild animals just killed? Are flowers, plants and trees just chopped?

Xintianyoudao:

"There are foreigners in the mountains, and they have fought a tug-of-war with the Zhennan Army for 16 years. In my opinion, it is not necessary to clear out the troops that are storing the country. How can we go to mine? Mr. Xi, do you think so?"

Xi Qianli nodded frequently like a chicken pecking at rice, saying, "That's right, it's right...

Xintianyou continued:

"What's more, is the spirit stone that easy to find? Yunshan is complex in terrain, with beasts and poisonous insects entrenched, and countless streams. Although hunters have been to the stream, they may not be able to clearly describe the location. Looking for minerals rashly is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and they will die forever. It would be better to let the ores bury them in the mountains. Mr. Xi, do you think it's OK?"

Xi Qianli smiled and said, "Okay, this should be the case."

Xin Tianyou accelerated his speech without waiting for the other party to finish his speech, and then said:

"I guess even the location was not clearly marked in the letter of County Magistrate Li. Mr. Xi, are you right?"

"Yes, that's true...hahahaha..."

Xi Qianli spoke, but his face froze and stopped suddenly, and he beat several inexplicably dry hahaha.

The boy stopped talking and walked straight back to the burning position to sit down.

Everyone didn't react, but Dong Shumin was smart, stood up and stared at Xi Qianli suspiciously, and asked coldly:

"Mr. Xi, you detained the letter and didn't submit it to my father?"

Xi Qianli smiled and said:

"Miss Dong, how is this possible? The official letters sent by each county, the notices issued by the royal city, plus salt transportation, government affairs, agriculture, water conservancy, military affairs, etc., dozens of letters are classified every day, and submitted to the county magistrate according to the priorities. After he explained, the various yamen were dealt with. Xi served as an aide for many years and never made any mistakes. It is impossible to demolish them privately, so I will check it out first, right? Unless the knowledge is ahead of the predecessor, the letter can be deducted."

Xin Tianyou turned the spirit stone between his fingers and stuffed it to Ma Cuihua casually, saying:

"Mr. Xi's performance is more interesting and more mature as he watches it. Master said that people's hearts are deceitful, but I have never quite understood. On the first day of going down the mountain, you worked hard to teach a vivid lesson, which is worthy of being a gust of wind."

As soon as these words came out, the whole palace was shocked, and Lu Gui, who was dejected, suddenly raised his head.

Xi Qianli forced a smile and said:

"Haha...How could Mr. Xi be a robber? The joke is a bit big, and the young hero is really good at joking."

Everyone held their breath and silenced, waiting for the following text.

Xin Tianyou used a tree stick to tilt the fire, and placed two dry firewood on it. He stood up and slapped the dust on his palms, saying:

"Mr. Li cannot identify the spirit stones, and it is not convenient to ask. He will definitely place the desk to study it. The letters are contaminated with spiritual energy. Ordinary people cannot detect it at all, but Mr. Xi is a wizard in Tongyou Realm. He is particularly sensitive to spiritual energy and knows it is unusual. A noble wizard pretends to be a down-and-out scholar, diligent and hardworking. What kind of mental illness is this?

"To improve his strength, cultivation resources are indispensable. So he became an aide in public and became a giant bandit in secret. I dare to assert that a gust of wind must have appeared after Mr. Xi arrived in Qiyun County. He was at the center of the government and knew everything about his actions. Of course, he could not be captured.
To be continued...
