pin gold

It's like a stroke of a pen, leaving traces on mountains and rivers, piled up layers of sand, gravel, and plaster, but none of them can bury the golden hook that was eclipsed that day.

The Zhongzhou Chamber of Commerce is really not short of money. People in the Jianghu call the merchants "an old fox sleeping on a pile of gold and silver". A few days ago, the old fox went out to inspect the sub-ruler. Flying dog jumps.

Shang Hengzhi took out the folded map of water and land from under the table, took out the bald nib of the pen, and spun it around on the map, she lowered her head and said, "Let's send someone to ask, it is said that Jin Mingwei, Why are you still investigating the case? Don’t you have nothing to do on weekdays? It’s so comfortable to be idle, and your salary is not too small.”

"On the cusp of the storm, someone needs to be at the forefront..." Lu Chengyan didn't continue to speak, but instead looked at the shiny beads in her hand, and asked her, "What's for dinner?"

"I won't eat..." She flicked her sleeves and stood up with her shoes on, leaning on the table, "I'll check it now."

The two of them went out through the back door with their hoods on, and the long-haired white dog that Shang Yanzhi was feeding came up and whimpered and barked. It's like being inflated.

Lu Chengyan squeezed the weight of his hand, squeezed out his nose from the long hair and the saliva sprayed on his face, and asked:

"You just said, refining Gu, what is it?"

"There are rumors..." Shang Hengzhi wiped his sparse eyebrows, which were covered with charcoal ashes: "As soon as the Xuerong Spring Garden arrived in Yujing City, it only took a month or two to build such a big one. Lou, with so many big businesses, it is inevitable that there will be some gossip."

"Is it true or not?" Lu Chengyan lifted the white lump of flesh and put it on the courtyard wall.

The big white-haired dog jumped down with a whoosh, splashing fly ash all over the ground.He wasn't interested in big business, just asking questions in a low voice.

"Half-truth, half-false." She took back the glazed film, her eyes were dark and she couldn't see the luster: "The business is real, but the refining of Gu is fake. The cargo ship was full of people, and it came up through the waterway in the south."

"South..." Lu Chengyan was a little surprised. Yujing City is already too far south, and going south... the roads criss-crossing water and land flashed in his mind.

It's the sea route...

"Boom--"

Large and small pieces of rubble kept falling down, and the ear drums were almost filled with soot.

The shouting outside could no longer be heard, and Zhou Tan felt that the tip of his nose was full of hot smoke.

The iron sheet in front slowly rose a little bit. Although the sound of the stones colliding together was loud, it did not shake the solid iron wall.

It can be seen that although Shu Wenfeng is very unreliable, his professional level is still good, and he has not given the reputation of No. [-] in the world a layer of black plaster that cannot be picked off.

Zhou Tan was so shaken by the ground that he couldn't grasp the tip of his sword. He raised his face and stared at the roof of the cave where a layer of dust had been shaken off. He Lianyun also reached out to hold his waistband, grabbed the person at one end, and went to check the hole at the other end. Rumbling iron valves shaking.

He looked back at Zhou Tan, opened his mouth and wanted to speak, as if he wanted to push Zhou Tan to take a step forward and then withdraw, his palms slowly opened and pasted, but none of them held back, Zhou Tan flew out like a sword, walking faster than him Leaning forward, he dragged his feet out at a speed that he didn't usually have.

"What else do you want to look at?" Zhou Tan turned around and asked, "You refuse to quit, is there anything else to examine?"

"It will explode..." He Lianyun withdrew his gaze and said in a low voice, "There is fire below."

"There's fire down there—"

Shu Wenfeng opened a small opening from the roof of the cave, and shouted loudly like a bug: "Turn on the water valve—turn it down, turn it down!"

Zhou Tan took a look and saw that Shu Wenfeng's head was stuck in the half-sized and narrow soil hole, half of his eyebrows were burnt, and two asymmetrical black lines hung on his face. Bald and chunky like a groundhog.

So Zhou Tan laughed out loud in this emergency situation, laughed again and jumped forward, stepped on the left wall of the cave, borrowed strength from the wall, and lightly hung on the huge molten iron valve in mid-air.

A row of valves is arranged from small to large, and the lower row is a small valve that controls the tributaries. Before the wind goes out, it is more than half opened, and only the largest black iron block on the top of the head is left swinging slowly, which has not been pulled down.

Zhou Tan lifted one arm up and yanked the ground, but the valve didn't move at all.There is no way to borrow strength in mid-air. He was let off a kite, and he hung on the iron valve, neither up nor down. At this time, the disadvantages of picking fat and thin were all exposed. He grasped with two arms, and his whole body weight was added to it. , It didn't even move the black iron.

He Lianyun scanned the surroundings, followed him and jumped up. It turned out to be a very light work. Before Zhou Tan had time to praise him, he was grabbed by the back of his waist. With a hook, it was attached to the waistline vaguely, with a bit of excessive heat.

The weight of the two people moved the motionless iron valve, which creaked and moved slowly downwards. A crack had opened in the ground. Zhou Tan looked down and saw a burning red sea of ​​flames. .A mass of red was as bright as a mass of blood, vigorously burning.

"This..." He was full of doubts: "Why is the gold mine built on fire?"

Really off the beaten track.

"That's Jinshenghuo..." Shu Wenfeng actually had time to stuff his head into the hole: "Oh, I can't say a word or two, so open the valve first."

Zhou Tan didn't bother to talk to him, and thought of the jade bottle stuffed deep in the cabinet again. He rolled his eyes and exerted his strength again. The iron valve creaked and returned to its place completely, and the cracks in the ground slowly closed following the sound. .

He saw the water gushing from far away, overflowing the gold and fire underground, and the mass of exuberant red was buried underground again.

He didn't open his mouth to ask where the water on the halfway up the mountain came from, he just waited to go back and question Shu Wenfeng carefully.

As expected of a strange person whom even Helian Yun raised his forehead, Zhou Tan bit his dry and astringent lips, and climbed the rope to the platform.

Shu Wenfeng hastily threw down a small basket with a rope tied to it: "Come up quickly."

I don't know what the basket is used to hold. The basket is black and gray, and the rope on the top is peeled from the friction and trembles.

He Lianyun put Zhou Tan into the small hanging basket, and then said to it: "Pull the rope."

The rope was pulled, but it didn't move, Shu Wenfeng put down the rope silently, and secretly lowered his voice: "Then who, come and pull it quickly."

Hearing the sound, Mani came over with a few people. He had just woken up from a new faint. His whole body was sloppy and he couldn't figure out the direction. His eyes were swollen like fish bubbles. He stretched out his hands like a ghost, and shouted. With a sound, the rope pulling the person was lifted.

Zhou Tan was pulled up slowly, he was about to roll his eyes to the faces of the two, stepped out silently, and took the rope to drag He Lianyun.

He Lianyun put down the knife and looked around. The ordnance department was hit by frost, and the logistics department was withered. They all squatted outside without making a sound, with their heads retracted into their shells to pretend to be turtles. There were no casualties, but a group of people flew around in disgrace, clothes and shoes, as if they were fleeing famine, and even fled in such a mess that they trampled on each other, and none of them was clean.

Shu Wenfeng knocked his head back and forth, Zhou Tan didn't listen, turned to the other side to look in, his eyes cast far away, the turmoil and small-scale explosion just now stripped away the sand and stones in the mountainside , On the mountain wall, a thick layer of outer skin was rubbed off, and moist light spots faintly shone inside.

It is not golden, nor white, an indescribable color like water, flowing out from the cracks bit by bit, and then refracting a soft halo under the sunlight.

"Wait..." Zhou Tan took He Lianyun's hand subconsciously, and said softly, "There seems to be writing there."

Only relying on a line of cracks, it is really not clear, only a little bit of turning and corners make people feel that it is handwriting, but Zhou Tan can clearly feel the remnants of the power of the pen, as if a stroke of the pen leaves a mark on the mountains and rivers. , sand, gravel and plaster were piled up layer by layer, but they failed to bury the golden hook that was eclipsed that day.

Xuerong Spring Garden.

Unlike other song houses, Xuerong Spring Garden was built in a deserted suburban forest, with a deserted front door and a few sparse bamboo trees.

A small road is deserted, and occasionally one or two unremarkable oil caravans stop, and it is not known whether they are used to carry goods or to pull people.

Standing here and looking at it at first glance, I don't know if this owner wants to emphasize a cool and self-admiring style, or if the business is really bad and no one comes.

The front door was set high, and the lanterns hung from the top of the beams, swinging in the wind.

"Why don't you go in? I'm afraid that the old fox will come back and bite me to death. Hey, hey——" Shang Hengzhi quickly jumped out of the car, and followed inside with his hat on.

Lu Chengyan pulled up the hem of his clothes and stepped over the threshold, pretending to turn over a half-old folding fan from home, but it was shaking out of order, and his two fingers slipped and were about to get stuck in the cracks in the bamboo bones.With a cold face, he glanced at the brand-new carved beams and painted buildings.

No one greeted them at the door, and the entire front hall was dead silent.But this is obviously a new building, a new building that has just won the world-renowned Haiyinlian this year.

The weirdness is almost written on the plaque.

Shang Hengzhi trotted in with her nose pinched, wearing men's clothing that didn't fit her body, and she wiped her eyebrows with a charcoal pencil, and it was pitch black from a distance.

"Bah-"

The lights dimmed suddenly, and the exquisitely carved tassel lamp turned into powder with a bang, like thousands of fluorescent spots, scattered all over the pavilion.

I can't even see my fingers.
