The storyteller who walks the rivers and lakes

Chapter 32 The Treasure Hunter

"Hey hey, Mr. Rende, not only let their hard-working miners have enough to eat every day, but also give them an hour of rest every day. Naturally, they want to work more in return. Your great kindness, son!"

The old scorpion looked at Lu Fei with a flattering smile and said flatteringly.

Regarding the increase in output this month, Lu Fei found the old scorpion who he had single-handedly picked up to understand the situation.

However, after getting along for such a long time, Lu Fei also has some understanding of this old guy.

Although he has some abilities, he is too tactful, and every time he faces him, the end of flattery makes Lu Fei couldn't help but want to slap him.

Pointing to the table next to him with his right hand, Lu Fei said coldly, "Tell the truth!"

Seeing Lu Fei's cold face, the old scorpion also put away his smile, and said aggrievedly: "Young master, what I said, old scorpion, is indeed the truth."

"Before, we miners never had enough to eat every meal, maybe they were afraid that someone would make trouble if they were full...

But in this way, we don't have so much energy when working, don't we...

Now, according to your order, young master, three meals a day, and one meal of fat meat in three days, these guys are almost getting fat now. "

"And what's more, when we are in the mines, we do nothing but work, people have become numb, and any action is done mechanically, which is very inefficient.

But now, these fellows are down below, talking about the stories you told, young master, and the hands are not consciously faster, and there is no such numbness, and the work is much easier. "

Nodding his head, although Lu Fei still felt that the old scorpion was exaggerating in these words, as long as nothing happened, it would be a good thing to produce more.

Lu Fei has also learned a lot about Old Scorpion these days.

This old guy's surname is Xie, but his real name is unknown, maybe he doesn't want people to know, anyway, no matter in Jiang Hu or in prison, everyone calls him Old Scorpion.

This guy's previous occupation is also very interesting, he turned out to be a professional treasure digger!

The so-called treasure diggers are actually those who secretly dig graves.In Lu Fei's impression, such people were called tomb robbers in the previous life...

Of course, in comparison, treasure diggers have a wider business scope.Because in addition to digging graves, they also explore some hidden places, or some sect ruins. Anyway, as long as there are treasures, there are professional treasure diggers.

The mainland of China has a long history. Before the great catastrophe in ancient times, it experienced the three dynasties of Shang, Zhou, and Qin, and its martial arts flourished.

And during these tens of thousands of years, the Martial Dao Sect also inevitably experienced the cycle of rise and fall, and countless powerful sect forces were annihilated in the dust of history.

Today's top forces in the martial arts world, in addition to the Great Qin Emperor and the two great dynasties, there are also the sky and one city, the two holy places, the Taoist Sanqing, the four Buddhist sects, the five world gangs, the six demon sects, the seven villages of Jianghu, and the universe. Eight sects and nine great families.

Among them, the so-called Sky City, named Liuyue City, is said to be a city handed down from the time of the ancient catastrophe.

According to legend, in ancient times, a war between gods and demons that swept across the entire land broke out.

The protoss above the heavens and the demons living on the ground mobilized all their combat power, and an unprecedented war of extermination broke out.

As a result of this war, the Tianzhu of Buzhou Mountain collapsed, the sky was cracked, the rain never stopped, and the floods continued.

At that time, the human race was weak and had been living in the cracks.

This war also caused heavy casualties to all living beings in the human world. At that time, there was a powerful Shennong clan who traveled to a sky crack in the northwest, and built Liuyue City on the basis of Jumu to store the incense of the human race.

According to legend, most of the people in Liuyue City live a long life and are good at controlling the aura of heaven and earth.Relying solely on the power of life emanating from the branches and leaves of the tree, it is used to support the residents of the city to live without drinking or eating.

And the reason why the legend of Liuyue City spread is because the successor of Liuyue City also appeared and walked in the world.

Those people are all top martial arts masters! 500 years ago, a descendant of Liuyue City once killed an evil dragon and beast in Nanhai Town by himself, and left a Shenlong Island for future generations to worship.

Except for Liuyue City, even the Daoist Sanqing and Buddhist Sects, all of them appeared more than 5000 years ago, during the hundreds of years when Shang destroyed Zhou Xing.

Among the two holy places, Jianzong and Xiaoshengxianzhuang both appeared in the pre-Qin period, which is only more than 500 years ago.

It is precisely because of the catastrophes that occurred in tens of thousands of years that it can be said that countless powerful sects have been wiped out in the catastrophe, leaving only ruins and those secret treasures waiting for those who are destined to collect them.

There used to be such a saying in the rivers and lakes.

If you really want martial arts to rule the roost, then just find a cliff in the deep mountains and jump off it. If you don't die, then you will be the overlord when you come out!
Although this sentence is mostly a joke, it is not without precedent.

Just like the Xiang clan of the Great Chu Dynasty now.

The former Xiang family was nothing more than an ordinary martial arts family in Jiangdong, and at most it was at the level of a second-rate power in the rivers and lakes.

At that time, Xiang Yu, the founding emperor of the Great Chu, was born extraordinary and had the ability to carry a tripod when he was young, but he can only be regarded as a genius in the world, but not a peerless one.

But when Xiang Yu was an adult, he went to the East China Sea and his party.It was this trip that allowed him to learn a powerful supreme-level kung fu, and also obtained two peerless magic weapons, the Overlord Breaking the Array Spear and the East China Sea Azure Dragon Armor. A century-old foundation!
Although at that time it was because of the frequent turmoil in the Great Qin that he had no time to take care of him, but unlike the Western Han Dynasty, the Great Chu at that time could be said to be facing nearly half of the powerful forces of the Great Qin.

On the other hand, Xiang Yu beheaded two of the four great guard generals of the Great Qin Dynasty in the first battle, and five of the twelve generals of the Great Qin Dynasty. A total of seven of them were at least true god-level powerhouses, thus establishing his supreme reputation as the overlord of Chu!
It is precisely because there are so many things that exist in legends or reality that the profession of treasure digger was born.

Although the old scorpion is not very strong, he is definitely not a high-level treasure digger...

But there's a saying... whoever dares to do this business, there is no one who is weak!
The places where secret treasures are hidden are either deep mountains and dense forests or poisonous miasma swamps, and often the tombs left by the strong after death are guarded by various organ formations.

These treasure diggers were able to dig up treasures from this kind of place, which also showed some of their abilities.

Of course, as for places like the ruins of the ancient sects, the formation mechanism makes up for them, so these low-level treasure diggers can't covet them!
