The sun is scorching and the temperature is soaring. This kind of weather is quite good and tolerable in the south. If you pay a little attention, you will not suffer from heatstroke even if you go out to farm. If you are in the north, it is basically like entering a furnace. Heat stroke is a problem, and death from heat is a big problem.
Before the first update of the system, the weather in the Mythical World was as gentle as the changing of the four seasons, and there would be no sudden outbreaks of severe droughts, floods, etc.
However, after the system was updated and the local rules were consistent, disaster phenomena appeared frequently in the vast land of China, causing huge disasters to the people.
This is also evidence of the elephant that appears in troubled times, as if the master is angry.
…
There are clusters of vines in the corridor, making it look like an abandoned ruin deep in the mountains.
The long corridor is the only passage leading to Xufu Town's secret warehouse.
The secret warehouse was built deep in a cave. This secret warehouse was built by Xu Fu according to the terrain. After repairing this natural cave, a warehouse for storing treasures was built deep in the cave.
This corridor is actually a cave passage. After many years of construction, it was restored into the current corridor.
The secret warehouse is built in this cave because the temperature of this cave is moderate and has the miraculous effect of constant temperature. No matter it is hot in summer or cold in winter, it has no effect on the temperature of this cave.
When Xu Yuan was moving supplies before, he did not move all the rare treasures from the secret warehouse because this was the best storage room.
Along the corridor, you can go directly to the secret vault.
The secret vault looks more like an underground palace, a palace built deep in the underground cave.
Four large relief stone pillars surrounded by a person stand in front of the stone door of the secret library, with patterns of animals carved on them.
In front of the stone door of the secret library, a white-haired old man was sitting on a rocking chair, leisurely and leisurely, with Qingming's smoke curling up next to him. This is the seventh uncle Xu Yuan talks about, Xu Hou, Xu Beicai.
Xu Hou is the clan elder who guards the secret treasury, and the Xu clan's heritage is not limited to that.
But don't look at him. Lin Mu learned from Xu Yuan that this old man with fluttering silver hair also had the strength of an earth-level military general and was considered the backbone of the Xu clan's combat effectiveness. The Xu clan is famous for its alchemists, but Xu Hou is special. He is a military commander and has no interest in the art of Kanyu.
Hearing that Xu Hou had earth-level strength, Lin Mu also wanted to ask him to come out of the mountain, so that he would have full confidence in conquering the bandits on the Dong'an Mountain side. However, Xu Yuan asked Lin Mu to give up this idea, because the Xu clan had not yet Loyal to him.
This old man is also very stubborn and will not be fooled easily. Otherwise, he would not have been stationed in this secret vault for ten years.
Lin Mu walked to Xu Hou and said softly and politely: "Junior Lin Mu, Lin Daojiu, have met senior Peicai!"
Xu Hou opened his eyes, straightened up, stared at Lin Mu, and said in a deep voice: "Dao Jiu, the word Dao... Dao Jiu!!" He did not respond to Lin Mu, but whispered in a voice he had just heard. : "I didn't expect that I already have the Dao Seal. What an opportunity! I made the right choice on the tenth day of the lunar month!"
Currently, only the senior officials such as Chang Yinfengzhong and Xu Yuan of the territory know about Lin Mu's name. None of the other middle-level subordinates such as Yuan Zhi and Lu Hao know about it.
This is also the first time that Lin Mu uses his own name when introducing himself.
"Well, you are the lord of our Xu clan. There is no need to be so polite. What do you want to do here?" Xu Hou stood up, bowed slightly and nodded as a courtesy.
Lin Mu didn't care at all about Xu Hou's coldness, and said with a smile: "Because I don't have any weapons in my hands, I wanted to forge a magic weapon, but I lacked the materials and conditions, so I took the liberty to come to the secret warehouse to appropriate some treasures. I hope senior will open the secret vault."
"Oh, a magic weapon. In your case, you probably want to forge your own magic weapon!" Xu Hou was well-informed and he immediately guessed Lin Mu's purpose.
It is not allowed to use the Xu clan's treasures frequently, otherwise the distinction between monarch and minister will be lost, as well as the etiquette of monarch and minister.
Lin Mu is very strict with himself in this regard and will not go beyond it easily.
Lin Mu did not use the coins on Chang Yin and Feng Zhong when they appeared, and Chang Yin, Feng Zhong and the others also knew the difference between public and private affairs among these monarchs and ministers.
When Lin Mu conquered Qingfeng Town, he did not confiscate the wealth of the townspeople, and even traded with them to buy salt and other items; the same was true after Longma Town and Xufu Town were surrendered. He only collected some rare minerals and herbs, but Lin Mu did not touch anything else.
But there is one exception, and that is Qinglong Town. Qinglong Town is different in that it was conquered by violence. After conquering Qinglong Town, Lin Mu moved all the wealth in the warehouse and emptied it to enrich the inventory of Zhenlong Town.
Even some of the surrendered soldiers were looted, and after they surrendered, they went back to win people's hearts, and all the soldiers who had died in the past were given a generous burial.
Everyone doesn't say it verbally, but this is an unspoken rule. In previous lives, when many players conquered or recruited powerful generals and counselors, they plundered too much of their private wealth, causing a huge gap, which was not conducive to the power of the emperor and his ministers in the future, and there would be endless troubles!
There are degrees of rewards and punishments, distinctions between monarch and ministers, the monarch is the master, and the ministers are responsible. These are important rules for the development of Longting over the years.
This time I came to the secret warehouse in Xu Fuzhen, but I had no choice. I was very eager for the exclusive magic weapon. Xu Yuan and the others were also very trustworthy about this master, so they directly asked him to come to the secret warehouse to select the treasure.
…
"Senior Gao Zhan!" Lin Mu nodded and confirmed.
"Okay, wait a minute! I'll open the door." Xu Hou didn't hesitate, he took out a palm-sized token from his arms, pressed it on a special recess with his hand, and after a burst of white light, the stone door slowly opened. Slowly opening, the roaring sound echoed in the empty corridor.
If he didn't have the token key, he wouldn't even be able to get in. Why was Xu Hou still stationed here? Lin Mu's doubts flashed in his mind, but only for a moment.
Xu Hou took Lin Mu into the secret vault.
This secret warehouse looks very big from the outside, but in fact the space inside is very large. If you look around, it is roughly estimated to be 200 square meters.
However, in the not-so-spacious secret vault, the surrounding walls are actually made of blue jade. No, it should be just a stone, just a special stone that is as crystal clear as sapphire. Is this stone the key to constant temperature?
The closed secret vault does not feel suffocating at all due to lack of air circulation, but is very comfortable, as if the air here is better than outside, making it very suitable for living.
At the same time, there were no candles lit in the secret vault, but there was enough light for reading.
Without delving into the magical effects of the stone and the light in the secret vault, Lin Mu focused his attention on the four rows of luxurious counters made of white jade.
Four counters stood against the wall, and there was only a one-foot-long altar in the center of the secret room. There were no incense or other things lit on the altar, only some ancient mottled books and bamboo slips.
"The things on this altar are the knowledge and inheritance passed down by our Xu clan from our ancestors!" Xu Hou introduced.
"The other four counters, the one on the left side of the altar are some old and new skill books and specialty books. They should be helpful to the lord in building his territory. It is useless for us Xu clan to keep them. The lord can take them all when he leaves. "Xu Houfeng said lightly, as if the whole thing on the counter had no value at all.
But when Lin Mu heard this, he was overjoyed. The counter was filled with skill books, how many there were. With Xu Yuan's temperament, they shouldn't all be specialized in basic skills. Big gain!
"The ones on the right side of the altar are some rare ores, such as the seventh-level special ore [Seven Star Meteor Iron], the sixth-level special ore [Aerial Pluto Iron], the sixth-level special ore [Cangming Sapphire], and the eighth-level ore [Deep Sea Fine Gold Stone" 】..." Xu Hou took a look at the things on the counter, and Lin Mu was shocked, not because he got it, but because he was shocked by the Xu family's heritage. None of these thousand-year-old families are poor and downtrodden, they are all rich!
When Lin Mu heard about these ores, he also kept them in mind. Xu Hou also briefly mentioned the characteristics of these ores later, which was regarded as a [special ore knowledge popularization class] for Lin Mu. When you encounter it in the future, you may be able to recognize it and not miss it.
Xu Hou also told Lin Mu that these ores could be taken away if needed, but collecting them would not be of much use anyway. The Xu clan was not a family of military commanders or a foundry family, so collecting these ores was just a matter of convenience.
Hearing this, Lin Mu didn't feel any guilt in his heart. He was ready to take everything back and let the experts and masters in the territory see what the rare goods are. He has been applying to purchase various ores. Now you are satisfied.
"As for the two counters behind the altar, they are used to store various rare objects or special unknown objects with unknown properties. The nine-color dragon silk that the lord needs is also there. Please!" Xu Hou invited Lin Mu to go around. Altar, walk to the counter where rare items are collected.
Xu Hou pulled out a wide and deep drawer from the second floor of the counter, which was filled with nine-colored dragon silk as big as broad beans.
16,600 broad beans are piled up in the entire drawer, which is very shocking. Nine colors of colors spray out, like a rainbow lingering here.
Miraculous, indeed extraordinary. Enough to be fully qualified for the position of gun tassel.
Lin Mu filled a bag with a cloth bag. He didn't know the specific value, but the full bag was enough for the spears and sacrifices. Lin Mu also hesitated and took more, planning to take it back to Chen Hui and other tailors. The teacher sees the world.
Xu Hou did not stop him and stood beside him with his usual expression.
After getting what he wanted, Lin Mu was satisfied and did not continue to search for the remaining items, because the master page in Lin Mu's arms was vibrating, and news came.
Lin Mu took it out and saw that it came from the sub-page on Xu Yuan's body.
Although the Qiankun Zimu Book plays an important role, its flaws are also very obvious. The number of pages is small, the usage is limited, the information transmission channel is relatively single, and communication cannot be hindered.
Lin Mu took a closer look:
"Lord, there is something big going on in the Netherworld Secret Road! Come quickly!"
