Chapter 19: Undercurrents

It is a vast underground lava cavern, and the water that flows down from the overhanging walls, and after the poisonous water flows through it, all the toxicity is somehow gone, leaving only a clear and sweet spring.

And at the back of the pond, there are countless strange rocks.

The white jade that exuded a faint chill from the top of the lava cave was a formed cold stalagmite.

Cold stalagmite is an extremely rare spiritual material, although the texture is hard, but as long as it is refined in the true flame, it will become soft and fragrant, it can be eaten directly, and the taste is like a bamboo shoot, so it has the name of stalagmite. However, its real effect is alchemy, and the addition of this substance can improve the yield and quality of some special pills.

The value of spiritual materials depends on the value of the elixir that can be crafted, and there are three high-grade elixirs that require cold stalagmites, so cold stalagmites are also relatively precious spiritual materials.

It's just that the cold stalagmites themselves are not too rare, and they can even be artificially cultivated, so the price is not too outrageous, but there are a lot of cold stalagmites in this cave, which adds up to a huge amount of money.

All of these stalagmites in front of me have been cut off with sharp ends, leaving only the second half of the base, no need to ask, these are the masterpieces of Shijingzhai, stalagmites are mainly bamboo shoots, and the second half is worthless.

Above the roof of the cave is a cold stalagmite, and on the ground is a huge hole, into which you can see underground passages everywhere. These passages were naturally not for digging and playing, and even though the things in the passages had been hollowed out, Tang Zheng still saw some faintly flickering golden light.

These golden lights were quite similar to his own gold sand, scattered all over the tunnel, Tang Zheng picked up a little and looked closely, and quickly recognized that this was a golden essence stone. Gold essence is actually a kind of metal ore, mainly used to build weapons, and most of the weapons created are hard and indestructible, and they are not enough to make magic weapons. Despite this, he couldn't hold up the large amount, Tang Zheng took a look at this tunnel, and it was also a miniature vein, and if it was dug up, the value would not be lower than that of the cold stalagmites.

Shi Jingzhai probably hasn't done anything in the past two years, so he's mining here.

In addition to the stalagmites on the top of the cave, the underground ore veins, and the rock wall next to it are not willing to be lonely.

Tang Zheng finally found the crystallized sand silkworm he had been looking for.

Proof that they once existed, to be exact.

There are small black holes in the surrounding rock walls.

This is the trace left by the sand silkworms, they are like earthworms in the rocks, scurrying around, leaving holes in the rock wall one after another, but now there is no sand silkworm on the rock wall.

The rock wall here used to have a large number of spirit stones, which are estimated to belong to the same vein as the spirit ore above, but they are separated by cliffs, and only a small part is retained here. It was this small part that was eaten by the sand silkworm. Because of the poisonous moths, the sand silkworms cannot come out of here, so they cannot reach the top and end up here.

Only one sand silkworm, relying on his "strong will" and desire for spirit stones, forced to open up the long road to the spirit mine from the stone wall, where he was able to enjoy the spirit stones, and finally crystallized and died.

However, these are not the root knots that shocked Tang Zheng.

What really shocked him was the deepest part of the cave, the black track.

The black trail hung over the rock wall, which at first glance looked like a crack in the rock wall, but when you looked closely, you could see that it was gently twisting, like a black snake, glowing with a deep black. And when Tang Zheng looked at the cracks in the black rock wall, he could clearly feel that his gaze seemed to be caught in this crack, as if there was endless depth in it, which was worth exploring and studying.

Space Rift!

This turned out to be a spatial rift!

Tang Zheng almost screamed.

In order to confirm his judgment, he picked up a stone and threw it at the crack, and the stone hit the crack and was silently cut open, forming three parts, the left and right pieces hit the rock wall and bounced back, and the middle part was directly swallowed by the crack and disappeared without a trace.

That's right, this is indeed a spatial rift.

At this time, Tang Zheng understood what it was, and there would be cold stalagmites and golden essence stones in this cave.

The spatial rift is the outer space, vast and deep, difficult to describe, with all kinds of unimaginable strange properties, so far, even those immortals who can break through the boundary and ascend have not been able to accurately describe the outer space. But what is certain is that each spatial rift will bring a different aura from the Realm, thus changing the terrain to a certain extent.

This change can be good or bad, it can lead to a resource source, or it can become a natural disaster.

Now it seems that this is a relatively good spatial rift, and it is precisely because of its existence that the underground cave has become a treasure land.

In addition, spatial cracks often bring something to themselves, and it's hard to say what it is, it may just be some garbage, or it may be a strange treasure, depending on what falls out of this crack at that time. Now there is nothing under the crack, it doesn't mean that it didn't fall out, it is more likely to be put away by Shi Jingzhai after getting it.

Tang Zheng roughly counted the scale of resources here, among which the crystallized sand silkworm has the highest value and the smallest quantity, and the gold essence stone has the lowest value and the largest quantity, the three resources are combined, plus the spirit stones secretly hidden by the Shi Sect, the total value can basically be determined to exceed 100 million.

Of course, as a black product, the Shimen faction will definitely not be able to sell so much, and it is estimated that it will be good if it can sell for tens of millions of dollars.

However, there is no such thing as inflation in the Qixia cultivation realm, and tens of millions of spiritual money is enough to reincarnate a small sect and turn it into a medium or even stronger sect.

There are also seven unique gates that also benefit. You must know that there are some things in the road that cannot be measured by money. The cold stalagmites and golden essence stones are okay, if the crystallized sand silkworm takes out the sand silkworm to auction, it is possible to make the value of this item rise by tens of millions, if it is said that there are many benefits, I am afraid that it will exceed the Shimen faction.

Therefore, this practice is undoubtedly an enemy.

This is a great sin, but in the face of great temptation, even if it is all over the house, they will do it.

Tang Zheng couldn't help but think of such a scene in his mind:

As year after year of excavation, the veins gradually came to an end, to the edge of the cliff.

The miners continued to dig day and night, rejoicing that there was such a cliff because they could throw the quarried rock directly into the cliff without having to pull it out.

This undoubtedly saves a lot of manpower.

But they didn't know it, and in the depths of the bottomless cliffs, a swarm of vicious poisonous moths slumbered.

A large amount of waste rock fell from the sky.

Some of the poisonous moths were awakened by this.

They didn't make a big move, perhaps because they didn't feel the danger, and only a few poisonous moths flew up the cliffs into the mine.

There, they found the culprit who was disturbing their sleep, and dragged some humans off a cliff to deal with these mortals, who didn't even need venom.

So the first disappearance of the mine occurred.

With the occurrence of the disappearance, the Shimen faction came to investigate.

The rest of the matter is much more natural. They first discovered the poisonous moth, and the difficulty of the poisonous moth attracted three real people to come in person. Then three real people should have discovered some clues about the cave.

So they went deep along the river and ventured into the cave, where they found the riches.

And then everything is more logical.

Under the great temptation, the three real people decided to steal this wealth. They first disposed of the disciple who had discovered the secret, and then released an Earth Demon Ape to the vein.

The Earth Demon Ape was raised by Shi Jingzhai, and it was instructed by Shi Jingzhai to personally intimidate and kill some miners, so that the miners naturally did not dare to approach the depths of the vein.

The poison moths are no longer disturbed, and they will not fly up easily, so the secret is kept.

The three real people used the poison moth as their natural guardians, further kept the secrets of this place, and for up to two years, they frequently entered and exited the cave, excavated all the benefits that could be excavated, and then actively contacted them later, ready to sell the things.

Of course, in addition to asking for money, they want more things that will bring them a bright future.

For example, the method of promotion to the Purple Mansion.

This is also the reason why after Lu He learned that Yu Wanniang went to the Li Kingdom, Tang Zheng was sure that it was the Seven Peerless Sects and not other sects, because only the six major sects could come up with the method of promoting the Purple Mansion so easily.

The only thing that made Tang Zheng feel strange was that looking at the current situation, they hadn't sold any part of their resources yet, after all, that kind of nouveau riche temperament was difficult to hide.

Especially for immortal cultivators, other things, such as magic weapons, can still endure not to buy, but it is impossible not to use the resources that can increase the cultivation speed. But the three of Yu Wanniang are not like this, although they are Tianxin, they are still only at the level of Tianxin, it is the heart demon period, Yu Wanniang has not even reached the heart demon period, only in the spirit ring period.

Yesterday, Tang Zheng went out for a day, and he had already found out the bottom of these three people. Shi Jingzhai is the only one who has ascended to the realm within ten years, and he has entered the inner demon stage from the spirit ring period, and it is exactly what happened last year.

This fully confirms that this wealth has not yet been transformed into the resources that everyone needs in time to strengthen themselves. The only one who has the potential to benefit is Shi Jingzhai.

This doesn't make sense, the resources were slowly excavated by the three of them over a period of two years, and there is no need to wait until the end of the day to sell them together.

Unless......

Tang Zheng thought of his previous guess again.

"Internal instability. Tang Zheng muttered these words.

On the day of the drunken banquet, Tang Zheng knew that the three of them and Qiu Shuyu were not of the same mind, and now it seems that the three of them may not have complete trust between them. Because of this, many things that should have been done have not been done well.

"If that's the case, there's a ready-made breakthrough. Tang Zai muttered to himself.

In fact, after discovering this, Tang Zheng found evidence and completed the task, but at that moment, he suddenly realized that he might be able to do more and better.

The adventurous spirit of nature made him try to keep moving forward, and the first thing he did was to start with Shi Jingzhai.

He wanted to find evidence of Shi Jingzhai's embezzlement of goods.

But this time, it was not used to explain to the Moon Washing Sect, but to the other two.

Tang Zheng launched a spiritual rhino.

Yiyi's voice sounded in his ears: "Brother, do you still know that you are looking for me?"

Tang Zai smiled: "Of course, my brother has never forgotten you." How's it going?"

"Very good, very happy!" called Yiyi in a cute voice.

followed Tang Zheng to Weifu, and the most comfortable life probably belonged to Yiyi. Her appearance is loved, and after years of training by Tang Zheng, she has learned to be sensible and able to speak, which has attracted the love of all the adults in the house, although she knows that she is a spirit, but she is not afraid. The old lady in the house treats Yiyi's baby as if she were her own granddaughter, and she serves all kinds of delicious and fun every day.

And after Wei Zheng Shufeng learned about the relationship between Yi Yi and Tang Zheng, he specially made a garden for Yi Yi and officially offered it as his own child.

So if you want to say who will survive the fastest during this time, it has to be Yiyi.

Hearing Yi Yi say this at this moment, Tang Zheng said: "It's good to be happy, but next, my brother needs you to help me do something." ”

"Brother, you say!"

"You go and tell Young Master Wei and ask him to help me check the transaction records of the cultivator market materials in the past two years. ”

"Cultivator Market Material Transaction Records?" Yi Yi repeated the awkward statement.

"Yes, I mainly check the three materials of crystallized sand silkworm, cold stalagmite and golden essence stone, and look at the sales in the past two years. This matter is more cumbersome, and the young master can't do it alone, I'm afraid I'm going to launch the Wei family, please take action, you must be fast!"

"Oh, I see. Yi Yi has quickly run out of Lu to find Wei Tianchong.

At this time, the benefits of having a family to rely on behind it are revealed. With the large number of people, connections and information networks owned by the Wei family, it is definitely much more convenient to check the material transactions in the past two years than for Tang Zheng to fight alone.

It is not an easy task to find out the transaction records of the national material market, especially listening to Tang Zheng's tone, I can't wait to help him get it in a few days. However, after learning about this, Wei Zheng Shufeng only hesitated for a moment, and decided to do his best to help Tang Zheng.

This is not only because she trusts Tang Zheng, but also because Zheng Shufeng realizes that this is a time to show the meaning of mortal existence, and only in this way can the two become more inseparable, and at the same time make themselves more status.

As Zheng Shufeng personally dealt with it, the huge business machine of the Wei family began to roar. The first thing Zheng Shufeng did was to find the other three big families in Canglong Mansion, the Jin family, the Zhou family and the Zhang family, so that the matter would become that the four major families would work together, and the workload of the Wei family would be greatly reduced. Then Wei Tianchong, in the name of Tang Zheng, used the flying sword to pass the book back to the academy, and asked Qi Shaoming, Liu Hongyan, Ning Ningyue and other students to leave the hospital to help.

As soon as these students heard that it was Tang Zheng's need, they left the hospital one after another in the name of taking the task, especially those students who had been guided by Tang Zheng at the Xianyuan Meeting and benefited a lot, some Wei Tianchong didn't inform them, so they took the initiative to ask Ying to go down the mountain to help.

Interestingly, Peng Yaolong and Ye Tianyan, who had already graduated, also came, and it was Qi Shaoming who informed them. This kid's reason is that there are official disciples of the Moon Washing Sect, and many things will be more convenient to do.

Peng Yaolong, Ye Tianyan and the others naturally agreed immediately, and not only that, but they also brought a group of disciples who had good friends with them to accompany them.

With Wei Tianchong as the core of information relay, under Zheng Shufeng's advice, a huge action was carried out in an orderly manner.

The official disciples of the Moon Washing Sect headed by Peng Yaolong are in charge of the transaction records of the Moon Washing Sect, and as the sect in power, they actually have a large amount of material transaction information. In addition, it is to check those more high-end Xiuxianfang City, where it is easiest to produce high-end products, but ordinary people are not qualified to enter at all, and only official disciples of the Moon Washing Sect like Peng Yaolong can run rampant everywhere.

The students led by Qi Shaoming Liu Hongyan were responsible for checking some low-level markets and auction houses, where dragons and snakes were mixed, immortals and immortals were in the same stream, and there were occasionally good things such as crystallized sand silkworms.

As for Gu Weizhou and a few other people, they are responsible for checking some mortal shops, but it is basically impossible for such treasures as crystallized sand silkworms to appear here, and another important task they are actually responsible for is data analysis. The disciples and students of the Moon Washing are only responsible for collecting accounts, but the authenticity of these accounts, whether they are duplicated, their validity, etc., still need to be screened by those professional shopkeepers.

That's it, because of Tang Zheng's idea and Zheng Shufeng's temporary plan, the entire Wenxin country inexplicably set off a wave of account checks. Tang Zai didn't know that Zheng Shufeng would make such a big show, and Zheng Shufeng didn't expect Tang Zao's popularity to be so good. The result of the extraordinary assistance was an action that went beyond the plan, and an operation to check the accounts was unwittingly beginning to show signs of an anti-corruption storm......

Wenxin is in the country, the wind and clouds are ringing, the bottom of the mountain is eternal, and the dark tide is surging.

At this time, Tang Zheng, who still didn't know anything about all this, after explaining what Yi Yi was going to do, returned from the waterway and came to the bottom of Shimen Peak, and the clone Tang Zheng also came to the bottom of the mountain to wait in the name of walking, and disappeared at the same time as Tang Zheng appeared, and Tang Zheng went back to the house to sleep all the way.

This expedition was calm and uneventful, except for a pair of underwear, Tang Zheng had no losses.

A good night's sleep.

In the next time, what Tang Zheng had to do was much simpler.

After figuring out the ghosts of Shi Jingzhai and them, all Tang Zheng had to do was to stay here, and use himself as bait as much as possible to attract the main force of the Shimen faction, and not give them the opportunity to send Lu to hunt down and kill the remnants of Xi.

So then Tang Zheng wandered around every day, getting to know every Shimen disciple as much as possible, especially those above the mortal, he didn't let go of any of them. What no one knew was that in the process of contact, they had been silently put on some small things by Tang Zheng.

It's just a leaf, or a rock, or just a piece of dust.

The only thing they have in common is that they are all made with replication.

Through these replicas, Tang Zheng could clearly understand what each disciple had done, so that he could judge the real target who was sent to hunt down the remnants of Xi.

At this time, Tang Zheng will appear at the right time, as if he met by chance, and said with a surprised face, "Huh, why are you here?" "What a coincidence", "Yes, let's go shopping together" "You are busy, I can help you, you are all friends, you are welcome"

Occasionally, there are people who don't know each other.

At that time, this unknown friend was likely to lose his life before he could find the scars.

Of course, when all this happened, Tang Zheng could find a hundred witnesses to confirm the alibi.

The next night, Yu Wanniang returned.

The three elders of Shimen Peak gathered together again.

Looking at the faces of Shi Jingzhai and Liang Xingbang, Yu Wanniang's expression was solemn:

"They confessed that they were responsible. ”
