Chapter 10 Jinsha River
Zhang Yi quickly told Zhang's father about his actions, and asked him to carefully rein in his tracks in the few days that Zhang Yi left, so as not to be caught by the foundation building monk. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Then he pretended that he was going to go to the ashram retreat after the late stage of qi induction, and quietly left the ashram at night and mixed in with a large gold rush team.
Early the next morning, the gold rush team set off, and the mighty team of hundreds of people formed a group and set off.
The core of the team is presided over by two loose cultivators in the foundation building period, who can lead the team into the dangerous Jinsha River, and expel and kill the demon beasts that threaten them, of course, in return, they also have to give half of the harvest to the two as a reward.
The procession in the deep wooded mountains meandered into a hundred-meter-long snake. The two foundation building monks took turns to control the magic weapon and hovered a few feet above the ground. The whole team was silent, and the howls of tigers, leopards, and jackals could be heard. Zhang Yi walked in the center of the entire team, keeping his guard and observing his surroundings.
The location of Shiraishifang is located on the periphery of Shiraishi Mountain, and the surrounding forests are sparse, and the deeper you go into the mountains, the trees here become taller and taller, and every few hundred steps are a hundred-year-old tree that is difficult for one person to hug. Although most of them grow on rocky hills, they are leafy and have a clumped root system, while the rest of the place is also overgrown with dense bushes, thorns and wild grasses.
If it weren't for the fact that all the people in the team had not been weak in cultivation, I am afraid that the team would not be able to move an inch here.
The whole team walked and stopped under the leadership of the Tsukiji monk, and from time to time bypassed one big bend after another, because of the demon beasts lurking in the dense jungle, everyone did not say a word, and kept a distance from each other.
Because of the dangers of the jungle, the team traveled day and night. There was no sleep for two whole nights, and at noon on the third day, the team reached its destination. Fortunately, there were no powerful demon beasts encountered on the whole way, and no one was left behind, and they arrived safely along the Jinsha River.
The gold prospectors' camp was on a bare rocky hill covered with charred ash and charcoal, apparently caused by setting the mountain on fire. All the gold diggers had taken up residence in the ground, and the people who had been driven by exhaustion and nervousness could not help but find their own places and fall asleep.
Zhang Yi slept until night before waking up and then came out of his hut that could only accommodate one bed. Under the moonlight, he looked at the wide river, the Jinsha River, which is several kilometers wide, flowing rapidly under the moonlight, stirring up sparkling waves and rippling with beautiful moonlight.
However, the dark mountains and forests in the distance heard the roar of demon beasts from time to time, and even from a distant glance, you can see a strange moonlight condensation in the sky, which is the Jindan demon beast swallowing the moon.
Zhang Yi observed for a while, then returned to his residence and began to silently carry out qi induction cultivation, filling the gap that he had not cultivated seriously for three days until dawn.
In the noisy voice, Zhang Yi went out. Looking at the other side of the river, I saw that under the sun, the predators near the Jinsha River also got up, and the giant monsters that were several meters long were swimming in it and catching fish and shrimp. They did not dare to enter the heart of the Jinsha River, where the water was turbulent, but only hunted on the shore. The foundation building monks here also abide by certain rules here, and never leave this hill easily.
The hill is located at the corner between a tributary that flows into the Jinsha River and the Jinsha River. The flow of tributaries is much shallower, and the flow is relatively gentle and the channel is wide.
And there are already gold diggers who have gotten up and started working. Gold diggers have scooped up the silt from the river or on the bank, and washed it in the panning to find the natural golden sand in the mud.
Get small returns for great effort.
Because the chemical properties of gold are stable and generally do not interact with other substances, it exists in the sand and gravel in a free state, and under the natural weathering, the rock is broken, and finally sand and soil are formed, and the gold is buried in it, and under the transportation of streams, sediment, The particles of gold move together with the water, and they move at different speeds and states, so in a certain area of the riverbed, a rich area of golden sand can be formed, which is the gold panning land that people are eager to find, people dig the river sand into the pan, and then shake it vigorously in the river water, so that the river will wash away the lighter sand, and when a large amount of sand is taken away by the water, what is left in the pan is the golden gold.
Zhang Yi will not act rashly when he does not understand the situation, but will also join the ranks of gold panning after receiving a pan.
Zhang Yi did not recklessly pick up a random place like everyone else, but carefully found a mudflat located in the turbulent river that suddenly slowed down.
Zhang Yi put a basin full of silt into the area where the water was flowing and shook it vigorously, the water first washed away the fine silt, then the heavier sand, and finally left behind large pieces of gravel and fine golden sand.
After a whole day of busyness, Zhang Yi harvested nearly two taels of golden sand, a small handful, but Zhang Yi's harvest was several times that of others.
After the sun set, the monsters became active, and all the gold diggers hid underground again.
Maybe it's because of the weakness of his materialistic desires after becoming a cultivator, or maybe he will get a lot more from his cultivation in a day, but after getting the first golden excitement, he can already treat this kind of metal that is not very useful to monks.
Zhang Yi found that before their wave of gold diggers came, there were already earlier gold diggers, and these gold diggers formed a small circle and were drinking and chatting together. So he squeezed around an old man who seemed to be the most well-informed, drinking and eating while listening to the other party's nonsense.
"Hey, let me tell you, you don't know yet, yesterday Lao Zhangtou found another piece of dog's head gold, hey, it's the size of a big brother of yours, and he looks like a monkey like a monkey. The old man put the wine glass to his lips and took a small sip, looking very reluctant to finish it in one gulp.
Then he said, "Do you want to know where the old man found the treasure?"
Before he finished speaking, a man stirred up: "Old man Liu, don't you just want everyone to invite you to have a drink?
After mercilessly interrupting Old Man Liu's teasing, everyone dispersed in a hurry while having fun.
Zhang Yi stepped forward and grabbed the old man Liu who was leaving, and took out the harvest of the whole day without regret, and said: "Big brother, little brother has something to ask, let's talk here." ”
