Chapter 135 Is Nanzi related to the mine?
“Hahahaha… When the river tears me into pieces and washes me out, I don’t know if that will scare the villagers passing by to death.”
Lou Xiao spoke without hesitation, not caring at all about whether the words were auspicious or unlucky.
"Or maybe they were frozen to the bottom of the water and found a hundred years later. I thought there would be some mysterious stories and legends about them—"
Lou Xiao couldn't stop laughing, and used her incomprehensible imagination to guess how she would die.
Mo Jingchun suddenly felt that she was more like a lunatic.
There seemed to be a switch in her body. She was one way on weekdays.
When she is in danger, she will change her appearance, and her whole body will be filled with a mysterious power.
excited.
Facing real opponents and challenges, she almost trembled all over.
But what I see in front of me is not a person, but God.
"Do you know where the exit of the underground river is within a few miles of the mine?"
The two of them knew that Mo Jingchun must be related to the mine and should be more familiar with the surrounding terrain than she was.
Mo Jingchun stopped hiding and calmed down to recall his past memories, saying vaguely,
"There are lakes and rivers outside the mountain, and there are also many pools of water inside the mountain. During the flood season, the water overflows and sometimes forms waterfalls. I don't know if it is related to the underground river."
Lou Xiao supported her face with one hand and asked, "Are you sure? Can you be more specific? For example, how high is the waterfall? How deep is the lake? Is there an undercurrent? When is the flood season?"
Mo Jingchun laughed dumbly, "Miss, do you really think I am the God of Land and understand everything?"
She didn't comment. "If it's not the land god, then it's the local snake?"
Her current state was somewhat aggressive, and Mo Jingchun lowered his head, unwilling to be her enemy.
He slowly told her about the terrain in his memory so that she could make a comprehensive judgment.
He really knew everything. Lou Xiao drew a map in his mind, connecting the two mines, one visible and one hidden.
He is so familiar with the mine, so his relationship with it must be very close.
"I haven't been here for a long time, so I don't know if there are any changes." Mo Jingchun said honestly after he stopped smiling.
"You don't have to test me. Once we get out, I will tell you everything you want to know."
Lou Xiao didn't say whether he believed it or not, he just added,
"Including who is behind me... I just hope that I don't bring disaster to you."
Lou Xiao blinked and asked seriously, "Also? What kind of disaster did you bring to whom? You?"
She thought about the few words he had said before and guessed, "Is it an old injury on your body? Who has that ability?"
She felt strange that Mo Jingchun's injuries would never heal, and he never seemed to bother to find a way to treat them.
It was as if he was allowing the injury to get worse and his life to end.
She had traveled all over the world with her master since she was a child, and had experienced various martial arts injuries.
I actually had no idea what was wrong with his injury.
Is the person behind him some martial arts genius? How come she has never heard of him?
Mo Jingchun didn't expect her to mention her body. With inexplicable emotions flowing in his heart, he explained,
"My injury is nothing to worry about. It's a punishment for what I did wrong."
She knew that Mo Jingchun was a rebel from Nanziqieyue Village, and she did not look down on him.
There are constant conflicts among the Nanzi villages. If someone doesn't want to live that kind of life, it is understandable that they leave.
But when he mentioned the punishment, Lou Xiao immediately thought it was the punishment of traitors by Qieyue Village.
Is the punishment for traitors in Qieyue Village of Nanzi so severe?
In fact, she didn't know the details.
But I always feel like something is wrong. How could Nanzi be related to the mine?
The Nanzi people's fighting among themselves could not form a big climate. Although they had superficially submitted to the imperial court in the past, there had been constant internal troubles in the imperial court for many years.
Even if there were problems on the border, they were mostly in the northern desert. There had never been any problems in the southern desert. It was mostly autonomous and rarely appeared in the imperial power's vision except for paying taxes.
Nanzi was a tool used by the imperial court to geographically isolate the invading barbarians further south.
The miasma of the Shiwan Mountains is a natural barrier, so the imperial court does not need to bother to send troops to guard it.
However, Nanzi’s habit of infighting meant that they were doomed to be unable to form a threatening force.
It is really safe for the court.
But it’s the same if it’s related to the mine.
The mines meant endless iron and a large amount of weapons. Whether Nanzi was keeping them to himself or was secretly colluding with foreign enemies,
All are extremely dangerous.
Lou Xiao felt that the scattered villages in Nanzi would not be able to operate a mine.
But if there is already someone in charge, and with the help of the poisonous insect...
That's hard to say.
Thinking that he had also put bugs on him, Lou Xiao touched his hair and asked,
"Where do you keep that thing?"
She was soaked all over and couldn't find where the poisonous insect was hiding.
"It's gone." Mo Jingchun didn't know why she suddenly brought this up, so he shrugged, "It's most afraid of water, and this one...it's all gone."
"You rely on it to always find me." Lou Xiao's tone was hard to tell whether it was good or bad. She brushed the water off her hair and wiped her face.
"You'd better tell the truth. I hate it most when someone plots against me.
Also, put bugs on me—" She paused and said seriously,
"I'll destroy you."
She has practiced martial arts for half her life, and her interpersonal relationships are relatively simple both on and off the Yunwu Mountain.
Although I know that people’s hearts are unpredictable, I have never been betrayed or deceived.
Moreover, she and her master had learned a lot, but they knew very little about Nanzi Gushu. She would never underestimate the unknown abilities of any party.
Until you understand it, it's best to stay away from it.
Mo Jingchun opened his mouth and wanted to tell her that there was a poisonous insect in her body.
Lou Xiao noticed her hesitation and frowned as she asked, "Do I still have some?"
Mo Jingchun didn't say it explicitly, but just tried to test it, "Are you afraid of a mere little bug? Have you ever seen a Nanzi Gu worm?"
What exactly is going on deep inside her body?
"I've only heard of it - how could I have seen the secret of your Nanzi that is not passed on. It is said that not every village in Nanzi knows how to do it, and your Qieyue Village is the best at it."
Lou Xiao glanced at him a few times, "Many years ago, I heard that your Nanzi used a love poison on a heartless man who had an affair with someone and then abandoned him, and he died miserably."
"These are all rumors," Mo Jingchun explained, "There is no such thing as love poison in this world. You have—"
Lou Xiao continued, "I'll ask you one last time, are the bugs you put on me gone?"
"--Yes."
It was obvious that she was very concerned about the poisonous insect. If she knew that she still had it in her body, then he, as the first Nanzi person she met, would inevitably be suspected.
Mo Jingchun swallowed the words back, thinking that it would not be too late to explain to her after he found a way to check carefully to find out where it came from.
And if they are all dead, what else is there to say?
