Chapter 396 Isn't It Just a Seal?

The Jue tree has a very long lifespan, and it can be said that there are many trees that are hundreds of years old. However, Su Hang has never seen one that can grow to this extent. Su Hang can't say how old it is. .

Jue tree is called a sacred bodhi tree in Buddhist scriptures. In ancient times, some superstitions said that this tree is easy to provoke some monsters and ghosts. Therefore, it can only be planted in temples and some public places. My family will not grow it.

"This tree is so big."

Xue Qi got out of the car, and when he saw the tree, he also exclaimed in amazement, just like he saw the big palm tree on the palm tree slope in Suxi that day.

Next to him, Guo Xiaolong said, "It is said that this tree is more than 800 years old. The people in the village worship it like their ancestors. When the company planned to open mines, it originally wanted to remove this tree and widen the road. But I didn’t want to be hindered by the villagers, so I almost got a meal with a hoe.”

"Isn't it just a tree? As for?" Xue Qi was a little curious.

"Brother Xue, you don't know." Guo Xiaolong shook his head, "How can it be so easy to reverse the ideas that have been passed down for hundreds of years? Everyone in this village is surnamed Huang, and they all claim to be descendants of the yellow jue tree. This yellow jue tree In their eyes, it is a sacred tree, whoever dares to touch this tree, they will fight with their lives, if someone touches your family's ancestral grave, you will definitely be angry, right?"

As soon as Guo Xiaolong said this, Xue Qi immediately had nothing to say. If anyone touched his ancestral grave, he would definitely fight with the other party.

It's just that Xue Qi regards a tree as an ancestor, which is really unbelievable in Xue Qi's view.

"Before there was an accident in the mine, there were rumors in the village that the mining angered the tree, and the tree god got angry and took away the workers who worked in the mine." Guo Xiaolong said beside him.

"Well?"

Xue Qi froze for a moment, then looked up at the tree, "If this tree is really alive, then those workers shouldn't be taken away, and you, the leaders, should be taken away first."

Guo Xiaolong paused when he heard the words, laughed dryly, and nodded embarrassingly.

At this time, Xue Qi saw Su Hang, went straight to the Jue tree, put his palms together in a pious manner, and made three bows to the big tree.

"Brother Hang, what are you doing?"

Xue Qi walked over, why did he worship this tree? Could it be that he also believed Guo Xiaolong's nonsense and thought it was a sacred tree.

"This is godfather." Su Hang raised his head and said to Xue Qi.

"Godfather?"

Xue Qi was stunned for a moment, and he was a little confused. What does it mean to be a godfather? Is this tree your godfather? Isn't your godfather Su Rong's father? How many godfathers do you have?

Su Hang just smiled faintly, without too much explanation, and walked straight to the village, leaving Xue Qi alone at a loss.

At this time, Guo Xiaolong came over and looked at Su Hang's back with a smile, "I don't know about other places, but there is indeed such a custom in the west and south of Shu."

"What custom?" Xue Qi turned to look at Guo Xiaolong.

Guo Xiaolong said, "It can be regarded as a superstitious custom. If there are children in the family, if they are weak and sick, or if the child is too skinny and difficult to discipline, the family members will let the child worship the yellow jue tree as a godfather, and let it get over the illness to ensure Children have fewer disasters and difficulties."

"Is there such a thing?" Xue Qi felt very novel.

Guo Xiaolong nodded, "This is the custom here, but it has been much less in recent years. In the past few years, if you stood on the street and shouted 'Huang Jueer', many people would definitely agree to you. .”

"Ha ha."

Xue Qi laughed all of a sudden, needless to say, Su Hang must also be Huang Jueshu's adopted son, Huang Jue'er, just thinking about it, Xue Qi also finds it funny.

Following Su Hang's example, he made a few bows to the Jue tree, and Xue Qi quickly followed Guo Xiaolong into the village.

This village is a bit deserted.

There are quite a few houses, but they are quite old, most of them are old houses from the past, and there are not many people in the village. I am afraid that it is the same as other villages. Most of the young laborers have gone out to work, and the rest are just Some old and weak women and children.

Occasionally, some simple villagers can be seen chatting together, talking and laughing, and seeing the three people entering the village, they all cast curious eyes.

They were chatting with their parents, and it seemed that what happened in the jade mine a few months ago did not have much impact on their lives.

The three of them didn't stay too long in the village, they went straight through the village and went up the back mountain.

The back of the mountain is full of dirt, and the middle of the mountain has been manually excavated to create a flat land. The construction site is isolated with a long and tall barbed wire fence. The big iron gate is sealed and no one is allowed to enter.

Some domestic garbage can be seen everywhere. One can imagine how lively the construction site used to be, but now it is only deserted.

There is a board room next to the iron gate, and an old man comes out of it.

"You guys, where did you come from?" The old man was wearing a security uniform, and he looked quite imposing, but when he saw Guo Xiaolong, he was taken aback, "Mr. Guo, why are you here?"

Guo Xiaolong had been to the construction site before, obviously this old man knew him. The old man's name was Huang Dingming, a villager in Huangjue Village, who was hired by the mine to guard the construction site. After all, this was a jade mine, and it was now closed. It is not guaranteed that someone will go in and dig quietly.

It's okay to steal ore, if another life is lost, it will not end.

Guo Xiaolong gave a brief introduction. Huang Dingming knew that Suhang was the new boss, so he obviously had to respect him a lot, so he quickly introduced the situation in the mine during this period.

"Now the mine is closed, and no one is allowed to enter. If you want to go in, I'm afraid... and I don't have the key." Huang Dingming seemed a little embarrassed when he learned that the three wanted to enter the construction site.

"Isn't it just a seal? It's not a seal." Xue Qi curled his lips, stepped forward in two steps, and directly tore off the seal on the iron door, grabbed the big lock on the iron door, and twisted it forcefully , the big lock was twisted with a click, and was torn off alive.

Huang Dingming watched from the side, couldn't help swallowing, this little boy's strength is too terrifying, that's an iron gate, not made of tofu, how can you just pull it?

"Isn't that all right?"

Throwing the lock into the grass next to him, Xue Qi clapped his hands, quite proud.

A small iron gate can't stop him, if they didn't come in a fair manner, they only need to jump in lightly.

"Oh, you, why did you mess up?" Huang Dingming came back to his senses, but panicked, and hurried to pick up the torn seal, "If those officials see this, they must be arrested .”

"Old man, don't worry, since I dare to tear this seal, I'm not afraid that someone will grab it, and nothing will happen." Young Master Xue waved his hand, as if he was about to be dragged to the sky by his tail.

Long before they came here, they had already solved the troubles in the mine through their relationships. This seal was useless, and no one dared to come to trouble.

Huang Dingming didn't say anything, these are big people, they should have some energy, but he still carefully put away the seal, and he was going to post it back quietly after Su Hang and the others left, as long as the skills are enough Well, I'm not afraid of being spotted.

...

The mine is full of soil and gravel, and there are some excavating equipment, most of which are placed in the open air, and all of them are covered with seals. Because they have not been used for a long time, some machines have rusted, and there are even piles of jade wool that no one cares about. piled up.

It can be seen that Yuding suffered a heavy loss in this incident.

There are two mines, one big and one small. The big one was opened a long time ago, and the small one is newly opened. According to Guo Xiaolong, the accident happened in the mine shortly after the opening of the small mine, and more than 20 people were missing. The workers are all lost in this small mine.

Su Hang can also be considered to have some achievements in the art of Xuanmen. Although he is not good at Fengshui, he is also somewhat accomplished. Looking outside, he didn't see anything strange. Fengshui is not good, but it is definitely not good. On a business trip, at least there is nothing wrong with him around here.

"What kind of top-quality jade has been produced in this mine?" Xue Qi asked Guo Xiaolong. The purpose of him following Su Hang was to find energy stones from the jade mine to open the mysterious teleportation array in Su Hang's hometown.
