Douluo: My dear grandson, come quickly, Grandpa, I am Titled Douluo

Chapter 117 The family guarding the Dragon Tomb

The next morning.

Ye Tian and Gui Mei came to the black valley.

Ye Tian held the scroll and carefully compared the surrounding mountains and geographical location.

"It doesn't seem like there are any dangerous soul beasts around here." Ye Tianjiang said doubtfully.

He now had some doubts as to whether the scroll given by Qian Daoliu was testing his IQ.

But since it was given by Sendo Liu, it’s worth giving it a try.

The ghost stepped on the ground with his foot and said, "It's too hard around here. I think we'll have to send people to dig here for half a year before we get any results."

"No need. Explosives are already being used to mine ore in Heishan Town. If there is a dragon tomb underneath, I believe the results will be seen soon."

Ye Tianming brought a team of miners.

Soon.

A foreman came to Ye Tian respectfully: "Your Majesty the City Lord."

Ye Tian nodded lightly to the foreman and looked at the ghost with a smile: "Uncle Ghost, I'll help you drill a hole in the ground first."

Ghost has seen the power of explosives these days.

He nodded.

Step forward and offer your martial spirit.

Starting to face the ground, a burst of output.

Not long after, a deep pit like a well appeared.

Ye Tian said to the foreman not far away: "Send someone to fill this place with explosives. In addition, notify everyone to evacuate the valley."

"Yes."

……

Near noon.

The bomb exploded.

A 20-meter-deep pit appeared in the valley.

first timing.

Ye Tian and Gui Mei came to the valley to take a look.

Except for the dark coal mines.

Nothing special at all.

The ghost looked a little regretful: "It seems that this dragon tomb is fake."

Ye Tian was not that disappointed: "Below the valley is an open-pit coal mine."

"After this explosion, coal mine output may be doubled."

"You are quite optimistic." Ghost smiled.

"The treasure map is just like gambling. It's not normal to get no rewards."

Ye Tian spread his hands and said calmly.

The foreman who had previously ordered the explosives to be buried did not know that the city lord in front of him was looking for the dragon tomb.

Seeing a black mineral vein exploded, he immediately stepped forward to congratulate:
"Congratulations, Lord City Lord, once coal can be mined in the valley, we won't have to dig in the mountains behind."

There is a road leading to the outside world in the valley, and you can get off the carriage.

There are no roads in the ore veins in the back mountains. After digging the coal, you have to use manpower to carry it back.

In contrast, the foreman was naturally delighted.

"This is indeed a good thing." Ye Tian nodded, and then asked intentionally or unintentionally:
"Are you local?"

The foreman replied proudly: "I am a native of Heishan Town, but I live on the edge of the town. You, the city lord, did not see me last year when you revolted in Heishan Town."

Black Mountain Town is Ye Tian's place of prosperity.

Although Ye Tian didn't give any orders to take special care of them.

But as the territory expanded, the civilians around Heishan Town unconsciously felt a sense of pride.

This sense of pride was universally recognized even in rebel areas.

It has become much easier for people in Heishan Town to find jobs.

The foreman was originally a tenant farmer, and I had skills that I didn’t have, but now I have become a foreman by virtue of my status.

His daily job is to brag that Ye Tian fought against all kinds of monsters during the uprising.

"Then do you know if there are any legends about dragons in Black Mountain Town?"

Ye Tian asked. "It really is." The foreman thought for a while and said seriously.

“When I was a kid, I heard my great-grandfather tell me that before coal mines were discovered in Heishan Town, it was actually called Heilong Town.”

"A dragon once fell here."

"There is also a family named 'Zhou' in the town, who are the guardians of the Dragon Tomb."

"But later, coal mines were discovered in Black Mountain Town. The coal mines were sold as far away as Soto City. The city owner at the time thought that the word 'dragon' was too grand, so he changed the name of Black Dragon Town."

Hearing this, Ye Tian was stunned.

Legends often represent a piece of history.

It seems that this treasure map is somewhat believable.

The ghost who had been listening by the side couldn't help but couldn't help it when he heard the foreman's words. He stepped forward and asked:

"Is there any family named Zhou in this town now?"

The foreman scratched his head, thought for a while, then called two fellow villagers to confirm each other, and then said to Gui Mei and Ye Tianda:

"Two adults, there is indeed a family surnamed Zhou in Heishan Town. It's just that the family surnamed Zhou has not been very prosperous."

"Now, there is only one single lineage left."

"The man passed down by the Zhou family is named Zhou Xing. He is a well-known bully in the town. He usually preys on the common people and bullies the villagers. He is nicknamed 'Bapi Zhou'."

"Last year the city lord revolted, and this man was killed."

"Have a good death." The ghost smiled and glanced at Ye Tian: "The so-called cause and effect are interdependent. Maybe we can't find the dragon tomb today because of this cause and effect."

Ye Tian spread his hands and said, "Maybe."

After all, this is a metaphysical world.

Ye Tian looked at the foreman: "Is there anyone else at home with this rogue Zhou?"

"I have a wife and a daughter. At the beginning of this year, under your decree, she remarried." The foreman replied respectfully: "There is also an 80-year-old mother who has difficulty moving now."

"But this old woman also gained some virtue when she was young, and everyone in the neighborhood is willing to take care of her. Her remarried daughter-in-law is also a nice person, and she comes back to visit her every now and then."

At this point, the foreman sighed.

"Speaking of which, this old lady, Mrs. Li Zhou, has always doted on her son too much, which is why she ended up like this."

"Take me to see it together." Ye Tiandao.

The foreman was startled, thinking that the city lord in front of him was moved by the scene and wanted to visit Li Zhou.

The foreman was quite moved by this.

The Lord of the City is great!

It's just that the foreman lives on the edge of Heishan Town, and the Zhou family is in Heishan Town, so he doesn't know the way.

The foreman called another person, named Liu Er, who was born and raised in Heishan Town.

Participated in last year's uprising and is currently a convict warden on the Black Mountain coal mines.

Under the leadership of the two.

Ye Tian and Gui Mei soon arrived at Zhou's house.

The courtyard of Zhouzhai has three entrances and three exits, with more than a dozen houses.

In a declining town like Black Mountain Town, he can be considered a wealthy household.

However, Zhou Zhai is extremely lonely now.

The courtyard is full of weeds.

There is no servant.

Only a small courtyard to the east is relatively clean.

At this moment, a stooped old woman was planting several pits of vegetables in the corner of the small courtyard.

Judging from her movements, the old woman's body is quite strong.

"Li Zhou, the Lord of the City is here to visit you!" Liu Er stepped forward and shouted.

The foreman quickly stopped him and said, "Be polite to the elderly."

Liu Er said a little aggrievedly: "Li Zhou is old and has some hearing loss. She can't hear me if I don't speak loudly."

Liu Er's words had an effect. Li Zhou raised his wrinkled face and looked at Ye Tian, ​​who was about 1.4 meters away.

Facing this murderous enemy.

Li Zhou was just confused and bowed stiffly:
"I have met the Lord City Lord."
