Only by living can one speak of the meaning.
"Yes, yes." The middle-aged man immediately stood up and said while bowing.
"Oh?" Zhou Wen spat out all the food in his stomach. Only when he had nothing left to vomit did he regain his composure. When he saw the middle-aged man, his face was filled with rage. If this person hadn't rewarded him with a thousand taels of silver, he wouldn't have suffered so many injuries. Seeing this, Qi Xing was also able to guess a little, but Qi Xing blocked Zhou Wen with one hand. Zhou Wen furiously glanced at the middle-aged man, then turned his face away, no longer looking at him.
"I know where the treasures in the Black Cloud Mountain Village are hidden." The middle-aged man pondered for a moment and then said. A pair of eyeballs kept moving.
"Qi Xing was slightly surprised, he did not expect this person to have some background." "Wait a moment and lead the way." Qi Xing turned around and began to search Ma Yundong's chest. He was disappointed that he couldn't find anything useful. Only the 5000 taels of silver banknotes on him was able to arouse his interest. Zhou Wen followed suit and started to reap the rewards of the dead. Not to mention that the two of them had actually looted nearly fifty thousand taels of silver from the body of this Mountain Bandits! This caused the two of them to be shocked.
"Oh, please follow me." After he finished plundering, Qi Xing signaled the middle-aged man to lead the way. As the middle-aged man spoke, he quickly walked to the back of the hall. Qi Xing immediately followed, and Zhou Wen was also not willing to be left behind. As Qi Xing looked at Zhou Wen, killing intent surfaced! Zhou Wen stared blankly for a moment. Then, he continued to walk forward.
After two turns, the three of them arrived at a secret room. As they were wondering, the middle-aged man suddenly said, "My lords, the treasures of the Black Cloud Mountain Village are all here. Can I leave now?"
"Where's the treasure?" Qi Xing looked at the few tables and chairs in the room and asked with a cold voice.
"It's in the secret chamber of this room. Milords, this one can leave now, right?" The middle-aged man pleaded.
"How can we tell if you're lying or not?" Zhou Wen raised his eyebrows.
"How could I dare to deceive you two?" The middle-aged man was so anxious that his head was full of big men.
"Bam!" The middle-aged man's eyes narrowed as he pointed at Zhou Wen. Without a word, he fell to the ground dead.
"Looking for traps." As soon as Qi Xing finished his words, he began to investigate the suspicious matter. Regarding the treasures of the Black Cloud Mountain Village, Qi Xing did not care too much about them. He had only come here to take care of Ma Yundong. However, such a windfall was something he could take as he pleased. If he couldn't take it, then forget it. Very quickly, Qi Xing's gaze fell upon the huge landscape painting on the wall. Walking up to the painting, Zhang Xuan unraveled it. Rumble! The sound of an explosion reverberated through the air.
Zhou Wen's figure paused for a moment and then immediately moved closer. After a few breaths of time, a bright tunnel appeared behind the wall. The oil lamps were flickering with dim light. He picked up a few stones and threw them inside. After a long while, there was no sound at all. Only then did Qi Xing walk in. Along the way, the two remained silent. Only Zhou Wen's excited breathing could be heard.
After roughly ten steps, the two of them arrived at a secret room. The first thing they saw was a large mahogany bed, a mahogany table, and two chairs. "On the table was a square sandalwood chest, surrounded by a few books.
When Zhou Wen saw this, he was extremely excited. Just as he was about to step forward, his body couldn't help but stop. Qi Xing stared at the sandalwood box on the table and walked up. It slowly opened. Golden banknotes! The tens of gold bills immediately caused Qi Xing to squint his eyes. Zhou Wen looked at the dazzling golden notes in shock.
Qi Xing took out a few. One thousand taels of gold, one thousand taels of gold, five thousand taels of gold. In the end, Qi Xing even saw notes worth ten thousand taels of gold. A windfall! This was an absolute windfall. Even Qi Xing was unable to calm down at this moment. The wealth in front of them was far beyond their imagination!
Qi Xing excitedly kept the banknotes and counted them with Zhou Wen. The results were even more exciting! An entire one hundred thousand taels of gold! 100,000 gold! The two of them could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. To those of them who had seen a Qi Xing with no more than ten thousand taels of silver, that was an astronomical figure.
"If it's silver." Qi Xing said in a daze. His eyes opened wide. That was one million silver taels! The two of them couldn't help but look at each other. They could see the uncontainable excitement and disbelief in each other's eyes. However, in the next moment, their pupils constricted. A mere Black Cloud Mountain Village actually had this much money! This was definitely not simple! It was very likely that there was an extremely large force supporting him from behind. However, things had already come to this point. When a soldier comes to block a general, the water will come to cover the earth! Strength. Only with enough strength would one be able to protect this enormous fortune.
"With this wealth, I won't be lacking any cultivation methods." With a wave of his hand, Qi Xing directly returned the banknotes to the sandalwood box. Zhou Wen had no objections to their actions. At this moment, Zhou Wen was still in a state of shock. Upon thinking of the cultivation technique, the moment Qi Xing saw the few books on the table, his interest was piqued.
The Raging Dragon's Saber Technique, the Rootless Steps, and the Beastmen's Fist are all low-leveled skills. At first glance, Qi Xing was disappointed that there was no sword art." The only thing he was interested in was that "Rootless Steps" was a movement technique that could be used on a small area. If he could learn this movement technique, his strength would increase by leaps and bounds, and he would be filled with anticipation. With such a huge harvest, Qi Xing and Zhou Wen immediately started to collect the secret chamber. During this period of time, the two of them had no choice but to search for 100,000 taels of silver in a hidden corner. This was a naked fortune! Many martial artists would spend their entire lives to obtain it, no! Even two lifetimes wouldn't be enough to earn that much money.
"Let's go!" When he left, Qi Xing set the Black Cloud Mountain stronghold on fire. Without the bandits blocking their way, the two of them quickly reached the foot of the mountain. It was already late at night. Fortunately, the moonlight was abundant and bright as day. When they returned to the place where the horses were hidden, they found that the horses had long since disappeared. The two of them thought for a while and understood that the bandits who had escaped down the mountain must have stolen the horses. The two of them didn't mind this. It didn't matter. It was just a few dozen taels of silver, but the two of them now had the worth of a million taels of silver! It was just that they temporarily lacked a means of transportation.
Like a gale, Qi Xing and Zhou Wen sped through the night. After cleaning themselves up, the two of them immediately left the Black Cloud Mountain Range. After traveling for nearly four hours, the two of them were exhausted. Seeing the light begin to appear in the horizon, they knew that the sky was about to brighten. He could not help but increase his pace. After another two hours of galloping, the two of them arrived at an inn. They hurriedly ate and the two people who bought two horses at a high price once again rode their horses and galloped away. Along the way, the two of them had met many bandits. However, they were all low level bandits so they were not clear about the fact that Zhou Wen and Qi Xing had killed Ma Yundong. After all, in that situation, only the fifth peak bandits could set foot in the main hall. Of course, on the way, he also met bandits who knew the two of them, but did they dare to speak out against him? "Unless the other party is a fool!
They rushed all the way until they finally arrived at Nine Phoenix City! That's right, Nine Phoenix City! It was a city that had once belonged to the Qi Xing brothers, a city that belonged to Xie Yufang, and a city that belonged to the Cloud Water Sect! The two of them got the blacksmith to make an iron box for the sandalwood box and to lock it. He then went to the bank and saved it. If there was any force that could be trusted in this world, it would be the bank! All the warriors in the world would not act against the bank. This was because there was a legend that several peerless experts swore that if they dared to attack the bank, they would be punished together. Although this could not be verified, all the warriors in the world still consciously chose not to act against the bank. Of course, the bank only recognized the note and not the person. If you lose the note and others use it to exchange for something, the bank will also exchange it.
