Chapter 276: Petrochemical Phenomenon

p1()

Fang Ling's heart also sank, from the perception of the sun's fire, it seemed that the organs and even blood vessels in this person's body had all been petrified, but what was surprising was that there was still a small wisp of heaven and earth qi swimming at an extremely slow speed in his heart, and its speed was as slow as a dying old man, if he was not careful, it would be difficult to find it at all. 35xs

This discovery made Fang Ling secretly taken aback, and a thought suddenly rose in his heart, could it be that the petrified Bai family prince did not die, but it was as if he fell into the ice pool and froze all of a sudden, if the petrification could be lifted, wouldn't it be able to be resurrected?

Thinking about it like this, Fang Ling was secretly happy in his heart, if he could solve the mystery and save the two sons, then the Bai Wei family would owe a lot of favors.

However, because the sun fire energy did not have any reaction, it can be seen that this is not a disease, but an unknown force, such a strange thing is only afraid that it is inseparable from the cultivation of the truth, and now that the war is currently on, if you want to confront the disciples of the Immortal Sect or the evil way, it is really embarrassing.

Fang Ling pondered for a while, and after determining the petrification of the Bai family's son, he immediately left Dingzhou City and headed straight for Jinsha County in the south, so it took half a day, and two days had passed in five days.

When Fang Ling arrived at the gold mine outside Jinsha County, the mountain was still dark, and the entrance to the gold mine in the mountain valley was locked by a heavy gate, and thick chains were wrapped around it.

There is a camp on the left and right sides of the entrance, which can be seen as the residence of the guards of the four major families, and after 20 years, the gold mine has been abandoned due to repeated accidents and has not been developed. Maybe it's because the time has been too long, and there is no outsider to fight here, so there is no one to guard outside the camp, and both sides seem quiet, and you can easily hear the even breathing of the camp guards when you prick up your ears, which shows that you are sleeping soundly.

Fang Ling fell in front of the iron door, as soon as he reached out and grabbed the chains, he performed the Lunar Solution Technique, the chains immediately split in half, and after all the chains were broken, he opened the iron door and drilled in. Flash Dance 35xs

In order to reach the stable stage of the Qi Melting Realm, Fang Ling's eyesight was much better than that of ordinary people, and he could see things in the near range clearly in the dark night, and walked inward along the rather large mine cave. It didn't take long to come to a stone hall, and the stone surface of the four walls of the stone hall was sparsely covered with gold sand of different thicknesses, although it was not much, but the gold was dazzling.

Fang Ling is also the first time to enter the gold mine, and he can't help but be surprised when he sees this scene, if this gold mine is developed, I don't know how many times the national strength of the fief can be increased. It's just that since the gold mine was discovered by the four masters, he has no intention of forcibly occupying it, after all, as long as the entire Dingzhou is in his hands, the interests of this gold mine will naturally have his own share.

The stone hall is connected to six mines of different sizes, Fang Ling found one casually, and walked quickly towards it, while walking, he couldn't help but reach out and touch the cave wall, although the stones on the cave wall are golden, but if you carefully distinguish it, you can clearly see that there are obvious traces of artificial carving.

As Zhu Baolin said, the passage in the mine is simply like a spider cave, intricate, one after another forks, if you are not careful, you will get lost, and the deeper you go, the more gold content on the stone becomes heavier, sometimes the whole wall is all golden, it seems that you can dig out a piece of gold by hand, and on the way, he also saw some traces of collapse.

However, as he went deeper and deeper, the doubts in his heart became heavier and heavier, if there were traces of artificial carving on the front wall because of the mining of ores by the four great families, then it was difficult to explain that there were traces of artificial mining in every place in the depths of the mine, and it seemed that these caves were excavated by predecessors.

This also means that before the four sons discovered this gold mine, there were already people here who had already been here, and there were so many passages in the gold mine, so who was this person?

According to the laws of the state of Chu, all underground mineral deposits belong to the state, but those who discover the mineral deposits can become miners, that is, mine owners. Flash dance 35xs mine owners and the state cooperation, the mining of high-purity ore to the state, low-purity can be sold by themselves, can be said to be a million profits, if found that mining deposits are not a capital offense, and may even punish the nine clans.

Therefore, if you really find this gold mine, it is unlikely that you will mine it secretly, after all, if you hand it over to the state, the state will allow you to have both wealth and status; if you mine privately, if you are discovered, it will be a serious crime of murder, as long as the head is not funny, you will definitely choose to cooperate with the state.

But according to what Zhu Baolin said, Jinsha County has never found a gold mine in history, if this person died in it because of the collapse, then at least the body will be found, or is this person also mysteriously disappeared like Zheng Wu's two sons?

Soon, Fang Ling found the underground river that Zhu Baolin said, the river is indeed very turbulent, and the river is very deep, it just flows past a mine, if a person falls into it, it will indeed be washed away.

Fang Ling picked up the water from the underground river and washed his face, and then jumped into the underground river.

Gold mine, collapse, disappearance, petrification, these words constitute a complex puzzle, in Fang Ling's view, in order to solve this mystery, we must first start from the search for the whereabouts of Zheng Wu's two sons.

He boldly imagined that if the two sons of Zheng Wu were looking for other roads because they couldn't wait for rescue, then it was most likely to swim from the underground river, where the river water was deep and rapid and even more bitterly cold, so although the four great wang clans had sent people in to salvage, they all returned in vain, but for Fang Ling, this kind of river water would not pose much threat to him.

It's just that as soon as he jumped into the river, he immediately felt the considerable impact of the river, Fang Ling hurriedly transported the strength of the Qianjun Panlong, sank to the bottom of the river at once, and grabbed a raised rock with one hand, only then did he stabilize his body.

He sighed secretly, the momentum of this river is quite huge, and as soon as a person falls, he doesn't know that he will be washed out a few miles away, no wonder the Wang clan sent a large number of people to no avail.

But since he has an idea, he must carry it out to the end, Fang Ling opened his eyes wide, pulled out his dagger, and stuck it on the rock with one step, so as not to be washed away, the river is rushing forward like a waterfall, and he doesn't know where it leads.

From time to time, a thick layer of aquatic plants spreads out from the bottom of the river, floating down the river like human hair, and it is really a little terrifying at the bottom of this gloomy river.

Fang Ling walked all the way along the riverbed, and found that the river is getting wider and wider, and according to this direction, it seems to be able to lead to the Jinsha River outside the city, and the water of the Jinsha River is also notoriously urgent, many people are drowned every year, if they rush into the Jinsha River, they are buried by the sediment, and they are afraid that no matter how hard they try, it will be difficult to find.

After looking for a long time, calculating the time for the camp to be guarded, Fang Ling had to sigh secretly, and when he was about to leave, he was suddenly attracted by something in front of him, there was a dense mass of aquatic plants, wantonly winding a few rocks, and there were clearly a few strips of rags on the rocks, because the strips of cloth were azure, similar in color to aquatic plants, so Fang Ling didn't notice it at first, but fortunately he took a look before leaving, and then he found something strange.

He hurriedly swam over, pulled out those aquatic plants, and was immediately surprised, the thing that this aquatic grass was entangled in was nothing else, it was actually a stone man!

The cold stone man didn't know how long he had been under the water, his body was covered with moss, but he could vaguely distinguish the frightened expression revealed on that face, his eyes were wide open, staring at Fang Ling with horror, the pores on his face could be seen clearly, and this state was almost exactly the same as the petrification of the Bai family.

Face to face with such a stone man under the water, if ordinary people are afraid that they will even be scared out of their hearts, but Fang Ling has always been bold, and after being stunned for a moment, he immediately calmed down and carefully observed the stone man.

The strip of cloth on his body is exactly the clothes he is wearing, and there is a white jade buckle belt around his waist, and the word "inscription" is suddenly carved on the jade.

Isn't the missing son of the Zheng family called Zheng Ming?

Fang Ling almost subconsciously thought, could this stone figure be Zheng Ming?

He immediately looked around again, and actually found another stone man, Fang Ling was holding his breath at this time and was almost to the limit, he picked up the two stone figures and walked against the current, it took a lot of time to return to the mine, put the two stone men up, Fang Ling found a jade pendant engraved with the name of the stone man on the clothes of the stone man behind, and immediately judged that this stone man was the missing son of the Wu family.

Finally found the two sons, Fang Ling was greatly relieved, but at the same time, a bigger question arose, why did these two people sink to the bottom of the river like stones?

After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly understood that his judgment should be correct, Zheng Wu and his two sons decided to find their own way because they couldn't wait for rescue for a long time, so they dived into the underground river, trying to find a way out by the river's downstream, but they didn't expect that they suddenly petrified halfway and finally sank to the bottom of the river.

In other words, in the end, all four sons were petrified.

However, there is a difference in the petrification time of these four sons, Bai Wei and the two were obviously petrified after several days, and Zheng Wu and the two were obviously before that, the four of them entered the mine together, and Bai Wei and the two did not say anything strange, the only difference between the two is that the two were trapped in the mine, and the two got out of the mine.

Could it be ...... Fang Ling's heart suddenly lit up, could it be that there was someone in the mine, or something that caused the four of them to be petrified, and this petrification had time to pass, just like a chronic poison.

The reason why Zheng Wu and the others were petrified quickly was because they had been staying in the mine and were deeply affected!
