Legend of the Divine Pearl

Dongshan Iron Mine

Dongshan Iron Mine

Aug 26, 2024

"Master Qing!" Seeing the "masked face" opening the door, Xia Ming smiled and greeted him.

"Come in!" Nodding, "Ah Qing" stepped aside to make way.

Entering the yard, Ling Haofei in green just put away her sword, looked at Xia Ming with a sweaty face, and nodded.

Xia Ming hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, saying with a smile: "Thank you Miss Ling and Master Qing for your generous gifts!"

"Your information is very important, I should!" Ling Haofei said with a smile, her attitude improved a lot.

Xia Ming was naturally happy to communicate in a friendly manner when he needed help from others. He hurriedly said a few humble words and learned about the situation last night. Only then did he know that the other party actually had an eighth-level fighting master. What surprised him even more was that the man had an arm cut off by "Ah Qing", which made him secretly smack his lips.

"Do you know where he came from?" Xia Ming asked casually, not wanting to get into the topic abruptly.

"The other party is very professional, so naturally they won't leave any clues. Even if they did, I wouldn't believe it!" Ling Haofei shook his head calmly.

"Practice that sword technique well. Although you can't cultivate fighting spirit, it should be of some help!" Ah Qing said bluntly, not good at gossiping.

"Yes, I came here today because I have some insights. I would like to ask the two adults for guidance." Taking advantage of the other party's words, Xia Ming turned to the point.

With his eyebrows slightly frowned, Ah Qing was a little unhappy. Although Xia Ming had some talent, he dared to talk about insights in just a few hours, which made him evaluate Xia Ming much lower.

Ling Haofei was a little curious, and raised his chin: "Tell me about it!"

Seeing what Ah Qing meant, Xia Ming was not panicked. He had already selected a passage from the sword classics of his previous life, and said with a smile: "I have finished reading "Li Jian Jue", and I have roughly realized a few points: positive and positive, positive and positive, positive and positive, positive and positive, positive and positive, positive and positive..."

At this point, Ling and Qing were already shocked, and Xia Ming stopped talking in a hurry, thinking: Overacting!

"Is this what you just realized?" Ling Haofei looked at Xia Ming in horror with his eyes wide open.

"I was inspired, I don't know if it's right or not, please give me some advice!" Xia Ming smiled embarrassedly with a look of "uneasy" on his face.

Ah Qing came back to his senses and uttered two words: "Genius!"

Nodding vigorously, Ling Haofei felt the same way.

It was not easy to go back and make up for it. Xia Ming said with a stiff face: "It's like this. Although the sword formula is good, I don't have fighting spirit, so I want to change it to a heavy sword. This piece of ore is a bit light. I wonder where I can find it?"

"Huh?" Ling and Qing were stunned, and then they were relieved. They felt sorry for Xia Ming again.

"Forget it, don't look for ore. I'll give you a heavy sword later. Thirty pounds, even if you reach five or six hundred pounds of strength, it will be enough!" After thinking about it, Ling Haofei said casually.

"Huh? Well, sword refining is also a kind of practice. It's better to refine your own sword!" For the purpose, Xia Ming brought out a sentence from the sword scripture of his previous life.

"Yes, my Qingcang sword was refined by myself. Your idea is right!" Agreeing with Xia Ming's statement very much, Ah Qing admired him more and more.

Looking at Ah Qing, Ling Haofei thought for a moment and said seriously: "Is that so? Then when we go back to Dongshan to open the mine, you can go with us. There should be about 10,000 pieces there. I will tell Yuan Youzhi then, and you can pick two pieces!"

"Dongshan?!" Xia Ming raised his eyebrows and showed surprise in his eyes. This Dongshan is a stone mountain in Shitou Town. Because of the poor geographical environment and many wild beasts, it is not inhabited by people. It belongs to a primitive forest area. Unexpectedly, there is meteorite iron ore in it. It seems that it fell from the starry sky a long time ago.

After getting the answer he wanted, Xia Ming was very excited. He was full of thanks, and he kept talking for a quarter of an hour before he left happily.

"What a pity. If he can cultivate fighting spirit, he may be able to inherit my master's mantle!" Ah Qing still felt a little regretful when he saw Xia Ming walking away.

"There is nothing we can do about it. By the way, have you informed Sister Hong of the news?" Ling Haofei smiled bitterly and shook his head. He suddenly thought of something and said in a deep voice.

"I've notified you. The Chiyu Guards will be here in half a month. Let's see who has the guts to do it!" With a cold light flashing in his eyes, Ah Qing's sword moved without wind.

Such a big thing happened last night, so the trip to the village was cancelled. When Xia Ming returned to the classroom, Li Erhu was chatting with Li Tieshan.

"Uncle, you're here!" Xia Ming greeted him enthusiastically and moved closer.

"Erwa, you're back just in time. I was just talking to Erhu. I didn't expect the town to be so uneasy. You should pay attention to safety in the future!" Li Tieshan said solemnly.

"I know, uncle!" Xia Ming responded with a smile. Seeing Erhu blinking, Xia Ming knew that he had not told Li Tieshan the inside story, so he didn't say much.

"By the way, there's one more thing. In half a month, Dongshan will open a mine. It will probably take a year or two. Your father and I will have to go there, so we won't be able to see you for a while!" Li Tieshan suddenly remembered this and told Xia Ming in advance.

"Well, I heard about it. There are many wild animals there. Uncle, you should be careful!" Nodding, Xia Ming smiled secretly in his heart, and then he would give his father a surprise.

"Okay, there is nothing else to do. I will leave first. I have to go back to make arrangements. By the way, I will tell your parents the good news. You have brought honor to our Langshan Village!" Li Tieshan patted Xia Ming's shoulder with a smile on his face.

After seeing Li Tieshan off, Xia Ming and Li Erhu resumed their normal lives. Li Changgui was dragged by several village soldiers and ran around. After ten days of work, he really looked a little thinner.

After returning from Dongxiang Village at noon, Li Changgui finally had a half-day vacation. He rushed to the dormitory of the material officer and pulled Xia Ming and Li Erhu to complain.

"Erwa, you are the leader of Xianger. You promised to supplement me at the beginning. Look at my belly. My trouser pockets have grown half a circle!" Li Changgui said with a face full of resentment.

"Okay, Chenji Noodle House, all you can eat!" With money in his pocket, Xia Ming was not vague.

"That's so embarrassing!" Thinking of Li Tieshan's spending at the time, Li Changgui said shyly.

"If you don't want to eat, forget it!" Rolling his eyes, Xia Ming had already seen the desire in Fatty's eyes.

"Okay, that's nice. When I make money, I'll treat you to delicious food and spicy drinks!" Li Changgui patted Xia Ming's shoulder with a smile and said "generously".

Just arrived at the door of Chenji, he happened to meet a few boys running around. Li Changgui was sharp-eyed and immediately saw one of them with a wolf tooth hanging around his neck. He turned his head to look at Xia Ming and said in a deep voice: "Erwa, where is your wolf tooth? Look at the one hanging on this boy's neck. Why does it look so much like yours!"

Slightly stunned, Xia Ming subconsciously touched it and found that the wolf tooth was really gone. He hurriedly looked at the child and it really looked like his own.

"Lost? Is it really yours? I'll get it back for you!" Li Changgui felt a little guilty for eating for nothing. He was obliged to do such a small thing.

Without waiting for Xia Ming to stop him, Li Changgui rushed over. He had been running with the village guards for ten days, so he looked like a real idiot. He frightened the kid with a few words. Not only did he hand over the wolf fang, but he also kept bowing and apologizing before leaving.

"Here!" Li Changgui stuffed the wolf fang into Xia Ming's hand with a proud look on his face.

"Great, you've become an official in just a few days. I didn't expect you to!" Xia Ming took the wolf fangs and found that they were his own. He praised them with a smile.

"Of course, you didn't see the village guards' appearance when they came to the village. They were much more arrogant than me. I'm still polite!" Li Changgui raised his neck and looked arrogant, which made him want to be beaten.

"Tell me quickly, what are you all doing!" After ordering food, Xia Ming asked curiously.

"The three elders are in charge of many things, but the most important thing is the election and evaluation of the village chief, which has caught many people. When the village guard took me to understand the situation, the village chiefs of several villages with better conditions were very careful, and they were provided with delicious food and drinks!" At this point, Li Changgui suddenly realized that he had let it slip, and hurriedly covered his mouth. His regretful look made Xia Ming and the others laugh.

"Okay, stop pretending, tell me what's going on in Dongxiang quickly, Erwa will follow the mining team tomorrow, so you can be prepared!" Without teasing Li Changgui, Li Erhu talked about business.

"Erwa, are you really going?" When talking about this, Li Changgui's face became solemn.

"Yes, what's the matter, is there any problem over there?" Seeing Li Changgui's serious look, Xia Ming was slightly stunned.

"I also advised you not to go, it's dangerous over there!" Li Changgui said seriously with concern in his eyes.

"Okay, I'm not a front-line fighter. If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. Just tell me!" Xia Ming rolled his eyes at Li Changgui. He would never give up this opportunity.

"Okay, anyway, you should be careful. I heard from the villagers that there are many fierce beasts in the mountains. If they rarely come down the mountain, they would not dare to build a village there!" Li Changgui looked serious and his expression became more serious.

"Don't talk nonsense. Speak more frankly!" Xia Ming glared at Li Changgui and urged him.

"Okay, okay! The mountains there are high and the forests are dense. In addition to fierce beasts, there are also poisonous insects. What's more terrifying is the ape man. He is ten feet tall, weighs a thousand pounds, has infinite strength, is thick and tough, and is difficult to be injured by swords and knives. He can tear tigers and leopards alive!" As he spoke, Li Changgui gestured, which was very vivid.

"Tear tigers and leopards alive? You need to have a strength of more than a thousand pounds. Could it be that thing is as powerful as a fighting master?!" Li Erhu heard about this for the first time and asked curiously.

"Isn't it? Fortunately, there are not many of them, otherwise who would dare to live near that thing's territory!" After saying this, seeing that the wine had been served, Li Changgui hurriedly poured it and tasted it first. He stuck out his tongue because it was so spicy.

"The town must know about this, and there are naturally ways to deal with it. There is nothing to worry about!" Xia Ming thought clearly and was not worried at all. He picked up the wine glass and clinked it with the two of them, and drank it in one gulp. The hot taste went straight to his chest but did not enter his stomach. It was obviously not a good wine. He had already tasted countless fine wines in the world, so he lost interest.

"Erwa is right. Youzhi and the others are going too. With them, there should be no problem!" Putting down the wine glass, Li Erhu also stuck out his tongue and agreed.

"That's right, then I'll borrow flowers to offer to Buddha, and wish you a safe journey!" Nodding, Li Changgui poured another glass and raised it.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, and you can still talk nonsense, haha, haha!" After being stunned at first, Xia Ming laughed, and the three of them toasted each other, which was very lively.

But no one noticed that not far outside the door, a peddler was staring at them with cold eyes.

Hold it! I'm holding it to death! Is this the Ascension Platform or the Ascension Pool? I'm holding it to death! Xia Ming shouted in his heart and opened his eyes suddenly, but it was pitch black, and he only felt the warm water wrapping his head. ....../> "Huh?!" Just when he was confused, he suddenly felt a pair of big hands holding his shoulders and chest, and pulled hard! What a strong force! Ah! Finally I can breathe! He exhaled a breath of turbid air, and subconsciously looked forward, and his vision gradually became clear...
