"Of course there are. Just look at how happy your mother was when she came home. You can tell that she didn't leave out any of the places that should have been cleaned up."
Your mother can be childlike at times, just like you.
With a mixture of affection and helplessness, Shen Zhiheng shook his head and sighed.
"Of course! I'm my mother's biological daughter, so I'm bound to look a lot like her. We're mother and daughter, hehe~" Shen Xingmian laughed smugly, like a kitten that had just stolen some dried fish.
"Alright, let's go in and see what's hidden here." Shen Zhiheng dismounted and said calmly.
Having experienced last night, he is now very calm and composed, and no matter what his granddaughter brings out, it will no longer shock this old man.
He assured me.
However, the slap in the face came so quickly. After passing through the wall, Shen Xingmian took out a piece of post-apocalyptic high technology: a metal detector that could be injected with supernatural abilities.
Once metal-based abilities are injected into this device, its detection range can be increased a hundredfold, and it can even clearly display what kind of metal it is.
When they saw a large quantity of gold, silver, and iron three meters underground, not only was Shen Xingmian excited, but even Shen Zhiheng, who had just thought he would no longer be shocked, was shocked once again.
This thing is so useful!
You should know that mining here relies entirely on human exploration. Even if dozens or hundreds of people familiar with the geography are sent out, they may not be able to find an iron ore mine in half a year.
With this, finding an iron ore would be easier than slaughtering a pig.
Shen Zhiheng felt that the flowers in his heart were not just blooming, but were going wild, shaking their heads and howling to the sky.
This is so exciting!
Ignoring her stunned grandfather, Shen Xingmian quickly crept over to the location indicated by the detector.
There are still guards here; after all, even if they want to make it look abandoned, the items are still hidden here.
However, the two made no sound at all, making it difficult for ordinary people to spot them.
The vault is located quite far from the ground, so it's unlikely that you can teleport there directly; you have to find the entrance.
Finding the entrance was a bit difficult; Shen Xingmian had absolutely no knowledge of this, and could only look at her grandfather with anticipation.
Sure enough, Shen Zhiheng gave him a "trust me" look, touched and tapped around the area, and after going around in circles, finally unscrewed a protrusion in a hidden groove of the artificial rockery.
With a slight sound, a passageway opened up beneath the artificial hill. Shen Zhiheng had warned his granddaughter to be careful before walking down first.
Shen Xingmian took out a portable rechargeable camping lamp and held it above his head so that he could clearly see the steps.
After walking down two meters or so, the terrain gradually opened up, and a large iron gate with three different types of locks stood in front of the two.
Judging from this setup, even if a thief comes looking for them, they won't be able to take anything out of the house.
But this didn't stump them. They didn't need to unlock anything; they could just teleport in.
hey-hey.
Shen Xingmian stuffed her grandfather back into her spatial dimension, swiftly entered, raised the camping lamp, and then witnessed a scene that shocked her.
No wonder the iron content was so high. The rows of large boxes around it, filled with weapons, gave the whole space a chilly feel.
There was also a considerable amount of gold and silver, neatly arranged in small boxes in the middle, but compared to the weapons, it seemed rather ordinary.
When Shen Zhiheng reappeared, his expression was very complicated. Upon seeing these things, he even lost his composure and patted his chest, taking a while to calm himself down and steady his breathing.
Although it was a bit of an exaggeration, Shen Xingmian could completely understand his feelings.
The old general, who had spent most of his life working for food supplies and military pay, must have felt incredibly conflicted when he saw these things he considered treasures hidden away in a deserted place, in preparation for a rebellion by thieves.
In his grandfather's eyes, gold and silver were nothing but mundane things, merely items to exchange for weapons and provisions, and they did not arouse his greed.
These weapons, however, were different; they perfectly targeted his strongest desires.
Shen Xingmian patted her grandfather's arm reassuringly and said happily, "Grandpa, don't blink!"
As her voice faded, the nearby boxes vanished one by one. The further she walked, the more boxes disappeared, including those containing gold and silver.
When Shen Zhiheng went to collect the animals yesterday, he felt very happy, and now he felt even more energetic.
With so many weapons, and by gathering our old troops and raising them for a year or two, we'll be a strong and well-equipped army, able to conquer any place we want!
A surge of heroic spirit welled up within me.
Shen Zhiheng couldn't help but follow his granddaughter's footsteps. Watching her wave her little hand and completely ruin the treacherous minister's long-planned scheme, he felt incredibly pleased.
Ren, the treacherous minister, could never have imagined that all the essential items he had carefully hidden and thought were necessary for his rebellion would be wiped out on such an ordinary night.
Just imagining how furious he would be when he finally discovered it, yet couldn't find a single trace, Shen Zhiheng almost wanted to burst out laughing.
That felt so good, so incredibly good!
The grandfather and grandson were overjoyed. You see, ironware was strictly controlled by the government. To forge so many weapons, having many blacksmiths wasn't enough; there had to be enough iron ore.
Iron mines are scarce in Linyue, and the land is fertile, but due to limited manpower, not much arable land has been cultivated, and it is simply too much to cultivate.
Weapons were in short supply, and many soldiers on the frontier were still using their swords even though they were chipped. It was truly a hardship for them.
After collecting everything, Shen Zhiheng said excitedly, "If we give these to those kids, I don't know how happy they'll be."
Shen Xingmian added, "Grandpa, that's not all. With this detector, I can help you find ores when we get to the Northern Territory. I can get you as much as you want."
She suddenly pulled her grandfather down and whispered mysteriously in his ear, "Moreover, Mian'er can also forge exclusive weapons for you, guaranteeing that every one of them will be a peerless divine weapon, capable of cutting through iron like mud."
Shen Zhiheng's eyes shone even brighter, as if a flame of hope was burning within them, making him look nothing like someone over fifty years old.
At most thirty.
So many years of fighting left him with many hidden injuries and illnesses. Combined with the terrifying power of the "March Poison," he would probably have already passed away.
But thanks to the nourishment of the high-level supernatural water, his body is now not only back to its peak condition, but it is also no worse than when he was thirty years old.
He was full of energy and seemed capable of fighting for another twenty years.
With the help of unparalleled divine weapons, it would be even more incredible!
