Chapter 299: Newcomer with Outstanding Qualifications

At the top of the mountain, Shi Xiaoliu and the other two went back to their rooms to meditate and practice. None of the troubles in the world could interrupt their original aspirations to practice.

The autumn rain fell for several days in a row, and the mountain was quiet for several days.

The distant mountains, the roars of animals, and the sounds through the wind and rain all sounded very rough.

That afternoon, the rain finally stopped.

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two also walked to the side of the mountain to see the situation below. The trees that had been cleaned took on a new look.

The green leaves and yellow grass create the image of an autumn mountain scene.

“This kind of beauty is very touching.”

Xia Yu stood beside Shi Zelan and sighed, and Shi Zelan agreed with him.

As long as you observe carefully, you can deeply feel the beauty of nature everywhere.

"It's not raining anymore, should we go take a look at the canyon?"

Shi Xiaoliu said something directly, which made Shi Zelan and Xia Yu quickly wake up from the beautiful scenery.

"Okay, don't you know how to keep quiet in the canyon at this time?"

Shi Zelan was still a little worried, so Xia Yu said calmly, "We won't go down to the bottom of the valley, but just take a look around."

The three of them left through the back mountain as soon as they said they would. When they reached the canyon, they heard voices coming from the bottom of the valley.

The three of them immediately walked away from the side. As they left, they looked at the ground carefully. They did not leave any footprints.

Walking on the mountain after the rain felt sticky with the mud, so they naturally only stepped on the tips of the grass leaves.

They turned to the high mountain nearby. The medicinal herbs on the top of the mountain attracted all of Shi Xiaoliu's attention. He led Shi Zelan and Xia Yu to pick the herbs directly.

"After the rain, I heard there is a kind of straw mushroom in the mountains that tastes extremely delicious."

Shi Xiaoliu conveyed the message to Shi Zelan and Xia Yu, and the people who were bending down to pick herbs looked up at him at the same time.

"Xiao Liu, do you want to pick this kind of mushroom?"

“Let it be.

If we come across any, we’ll pick some.

As for other mushrooms, we’d better not pick them randomly, as it is easy to pick poisonous mushrooms. ”

They picked some herbs and left some behind. According to Shi Xiaoliu, some should be left for those who come later.

At the bottom of the canyon, the officers and soldiers came in again to check carefully. They had already asked some questions from the bandits.

They found several caves. One of them was particularly large and had a lake in it, but there was nothing hidden inside.

They went to several small caves and found some unprocessed gold ore in them. The gold ore came in large chunks and was very beautiful.

“Chirp, chirp, chirp.”

There were three sharp noises. Shi Xiaoliu and the other two stopped and looked up, and saw three rays of light shooting up into the sky.

"Something happened. Something happened again at the bottom of the valley."

This was Shi Zelan's first reaction. She looked at the expressions on Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu's faces and asked, "What are your plans?"

“Something must have been discovered at the bottom of the valley.

I have no plans. Let’s go quickly, otherwise there will be no peace here. ”

Xia Yu had no intention of watching the fun, so the three of them quickly left the vicinity of the canyon and hurried back to the top of the mountain.

It was getting dark, and the officers and soldiers at the bottom of the valley were busy moving the gold bars. They knew they could not delay any longer.

The light of the torches was also dimmer than everyone had imagined, obscured by the clouds and mist that gradually rose from the bottom of the valley.

At the bottom of the valley, everyone silently carried loads of gold nuggets to the official road at the foot of the mountain, and the people in front and behind would remind each other.

"Everyone, be careful. It's dark now and this path is very difficult to walk on."

The officers and soldiers worked for most of the night and finally emptied the gold nuggets from several small caves. Then they left six people to guard the bottom of the valley.

The mayor was a worried man. When he left, he said to the team leader: "You better be alert. We are waiting for you to come back safely."

The valley floor became quiet, and the officer in charge said to everyone, "This is not a good place right now. We must stay alert and defend it all night."

"Brother King, you don't feel great either?"

"It's dark now, don't talk nonsense."

There were several fires burning at the bottom of the valley, but the six of them did not stay near the fires. Instead, they each climbed up a big tree.

They fell asleep in the middle of the night and found that the fire had gone out. They also heard the sound of someone entering and leaving the small cave.

"Hey, we've encountered bandits, and they've emptied everything."

"Woo, woo, woo, these months of work have been in vain.

Boss, let's run away. ”

“If you want to die, don’t drag down your brothers and your family.

Escape, where to escape to?

Is our family still going to survive? ”

"Nothing left."

"Yes, if we work hard for a few more months, we will have everything."

"Damn it, luckily those guys ran away, otherwise, my hands would be stained with blood."

They turned around and climbed up the other side of the mountain. The awakened officers and soldiers each listened to the noise from their own trees.

After a while, someone slid down the tree, looked around, and then quickly climbed up the tree again.

The people in the tree didn't dare to sleep or speak loudly at this moment.

They all saw that there were quite a few people who had just arrived, and they couldn't deal with them just by themselves.

They were also ecstatic because gold mines had been discovered in the mountains.

The sky brightened, and for many people, their hearts brightened as well.

On the top of the mountain, Shi Xiaoliu and the other two sat on the side of the mountain to enjoy the scenery. They felt a little annoyed by the hustle and bustle below.

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two turned their heads to look at the residences of Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng at the same time. Xia Yu whispered, "Master uncle and Master uncle are both people with great opportunities. They can even find such a good place during their retreat."

Shi Zelan glanced at him and said, "Before Master and Uncle went into seclusion, they felt that this mountain was quiet.

Even if people come to the mountain to collect herbs, they will not notice the top of the mountain. ”

"Nowadays, people living at the foot of the mountain will pay even less attention to the top of the mountain. The canyon and the gold mine will keep them busy."

Shi Xiaoliu glanced at Xia Yu and said, "Xia Yu, you have learned bad things from the scholars in the secular world. You even speak yin and yang."

"puff."

Shi Zelan couldn't help laughing: "Xiao Liu, this is his nature, but he is becoming more and more open in front of you."

Xia Yu glared at them both in anger and said, "Am I wrong in saying this?"

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan shook their heads at the same time: "That's right, you are absolutely right, our mountain top is still very quiet.

Xia Yu sighed and said, "Send the news back. It's great news."

After Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan looked at each other, Shi Xiaoliu said, "I sent a message back last time saying that there is a gold mine here."

Shi Zelan nodded and said, "I also said that I won't pass on the news this time."

After Shi Zelan finished speaking, she thought about it and a paper bird fell into the palm of her hand.

After the paper bird disappeared from her palm, Shi Zelan looked at Shi Xiaoliu and said, "Your medicine pavilion has accepted two new people with outstanding qualifications."
