You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

Chapter 468 Don’t Make Too Much Noise

They walked in the forest again, and Master Decheng and his disciples picked some medicinal herbs.

When they passed by the gold mine, they vaguely heard voices coming from the gold mine.

Zhenren Decheng and Zhenren Shanzheng stopped, and Shi Xiaoliu and the other two naturally followed.

After a while, Master Decheng asked the three children, "Do you feel anything wrong with the gold mine?"

"Master, I feel like the atmosphere at the gold mine is particularly depressing, as if it's waiting for an opportunity to explode."

Master Decheng nodded and looked at Xia Yu and Shi Zelan: "What about you?"

Xia Yu glanced at Shi Zelan and said, "In the past, the people in the gold mines were harmonious, but now people are much more impetuous. This is very inappropriate."

"Uncle Master, I feel like there's a tense atmosphere in the air over there."

Master Decheng nodded with satisfaction, and Master Shanzheng said to the three children, "We should not interfere with the cause and effect of the secular world.

However, we practitioners cannot just stay out of trouble. We still need to do some good deeds.

Right now, you have such an opportunity. You can find a way to resolve the crisis of the gold mine without creating any cause and effect."

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two looked at each other, and Shi Xiaoliu nodded and said, "Uncle Master, the three of us will discuss how to solve the problem."

Xia Yu said: "The government has never conducted a thorough investigation into the last gold mine explosion.

We cannot interfere with the impartiality of the secular government, but we can provide strong evidence to the government."

"Then let's go to the gold mine and take a look during the New Year."

Zhenren Decheng and Zhenren Shanzheng walked in front, while the three younger ones discussed how to deal with the situation at the back.

It’s New Year’s Day and the foot of the mountain is very lively. The officers and soldiers are still guarding the entrance to the mountain.

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two decided to go to the gold mine to take a look. They put on invisibility talismans and walked on the road. They heard voices coming from the gold mine.

"It's a holiday, just two days off."

"Yes, one day today, one day tomorrow, I haven't been home for a long time."

"What do you have planned for this year?"

"No plans, but I don't know when the gold mine will be fully mined. I haven't been home for many years."

“I’ve been here for six years.”

Shi Xiaoliu sent a message to Shi Zelan and Xia Yu: "Let's help them dig some gold so that they can return home as soon as possible."

"Fine.

The government will not let the miners leave until all the gold is mined."

“They were reluctant to leave.

Some people left before, and I heard they were held in Yangzhou Prefecture for half a year before they were allowed to return home."

"Sister Lan, how do you know this news?"

"The villagers said that they met the man who controlled the jade mine in Yangzhou Prefecture, and that man said he was about to go home."

The three of them entered the gold mine and found two other people working inside.

Shi Xiaoliu said to Shi Zelan and Xia Yu, "Let's wait a little longer."

The three of them told each other where they were, and then they fell silent.

Shi Zelan walked to a quiet place and started mining briskly.

"Brother Song, I miss home, how about you?"

"Me too. I didn't expect to be out for so long. But the officials said they won't let us leave until the mine is fully mined."

"Woo, woo, woo, Brother Song, do you think our family can receive the silver we brought?"

"Yes, I received a letter from home."

"My family won't send me any news either."

After a long while, the two men finally prepared to leave.

"Brother Song, it's New Year's Day, I'm going to go upstairs and rest for a day."

"Okay. I'll go up and rest for most of the day as well. We dug more today than usual.

I ask the officer to come down and put it in the warehouse."

When they came out of the tunnel, Shi Xiaoliu and the other two moved quickly and soon piled up three piles of gold bars.

The sound of footsteps was heard in the tunnel, and the three of them stopped at the same time.

A group of officers and soldiers came in and saw gold nuggets piled up in the pit.

They were surprised and asked, "You two have dug up so many gold nuggets, are you planning to take a few days off?"

When Song Ge and another man saw the gold nugget in the pit, they looked at each other in surprise and said, "No, it's not me."

They pointed to the gold nuggets they had dug out themselves and said, "Those are the gold nuggets we dug out. When we went to call you just now, there were no three piles of gold nuggets."

The officers and soldiers looked at each other, and one of them retreated from the pit. Those who stayed behind quickly sorted out the gold nuggets.

Shi Xiaoliu passed a message to Shi Zelan and Xia Yu: "There are too many people here, let's find a way to leave later."

"Xiao Liu, let's dig up some more gold nuggets. We can't come here in vain."

Shi Zelan and Xia Yu expressed the same idea, and Shi Xiaoliu could only remind them: "Don't make too much noise."

The three of them didn't want to make too much noise, so they just flicked their hands and the gold nuggets on the top of the cave fell directly down, landing right on top of the three piles of gold nuggets.

The officers and soldiers who stayed behind breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "It turns out that the top of the cave has been loosened by you. You can see that gold nuggets are still falling down now."

"My Lords, let's get out first. It's not good to have gold nuggets falling down and hitting people."

After the officers and soldiers and the two miners came out of the pit, Shi Xiaoliu and the other two naturally moved faster. They quickly dug out all the gold nuggets in the pit in front of them and cleared the area around the pit until only the mountain soil was visible.

The officers and soldiers outside heard the sound of gold bars falling inside, and they guarded the entrance of the tunnel, waiting for the noise inside to subside.

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two who were inside the pit were already digging with great enthusiasm. They dug deeper until the gold nuggets blocked their way.

The three of them stopped, and Shi Xiaoliu said to Shi Zelan and Xia Yu: "We went a little too far this time."

"Why do I feel that this gold mine is very deep? Should we find a gold vein?"

"It's a pity that none of us three have a gold spiritual root."

"Do you think there will be gold, jade and spiritual stones in there?"

The officers and soldiers guarding outside also came into the pit at this time. When they saw the pit filled with gold bars, they were all happy, but also a little panicked.

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two were discussing whether there was a golden spiritual vein in this mountain. The more they talked, the more interested they became in exploring it, so they dug out some gold nuggets from inside.

The officers and soldiers were carrying the gold bars outside when they heard the sound of gold bars falling from inside. After looking at each other, they decided to continue their work as if they were seeing nothing.

They were very excited when they first took on the mission of guarding the gold mine, but ever since the last explosion at the gold mine, they felt that there were too many things involved.

Now that the gold nuggets have fallen, they see hope of leaving the mountains.

On this day, officers and soldiers were carrying gold bars out, and Yangzhou Prefecture sent more people at dusk.

On the top of the mountain, Zhenren Decheng and Zhenren Shanzheng stood on the edge of the mountain and naturally observed the movements below the mountain.
