Chapter 18 Turning Stones into Gold
It was already early in the morning when the three of them returned to the mine, and the people who rushed to hear the news made a fuss for a while before they returned to their posts one after another.
The little old man made up a random reason and told everyone that life was peaceful again.
Today, as usual, everyone was mining in the mine, and when it was almost noon, there was a burst of exclamations in the mine.
The mine guards stretched out their heads to look inside, and they discussed: "Isn't it, this kid again?" ”
"All good luck is taken by him!"
In the mines.
The people who should have been mining all left their tools and gathered together, "Tut-tut, Brother Fan, you are really lucky, you have dug rare stones again." ”
"This is the third time, so many of us can't dig anything, Brother Fan's luck is against the sky!"
"I don't know how many times higher than the salary when I take it out and sell it!" A man who looked like a money fan said with a smile.
"Brother Fan, come out and take a look. The big guys are waiting to open their eyes! Ah Qi shouted.
Gao Fan carefully touched the veins on the stone, and a corner of the stone was chiseled, revealing the transparent texture of pink crystal, and at a glance, he knew that it was not an ordinary spirit stone.
Lin Yun also leaned over to take a look, she had been with everyone in the past few days, and she also knew why everyone called this simple Gao Fan in her eyes Brother Fan. Not for anything else, just because he can often dig up rare associated stones or rare herbs, and most of the money obtained from mining will be silently given to those miners who have difficulties at home and can't open the pot or have sick people at home. Others have also received some favors. In gratitude, everyone is willing to take him as big and call him "Brother Fan".
"Gao Fan, what are you touching?" Lin Yun looked at him touching and was puzzled.
Since Gao Fan, who was concentrating, knew that Lin Yun was a woman, he blushed a little when he heard her speak, but he couldn't see much on his face. Hearing Lin Yun ask, he returned: "Each stone has its own vein, and after the baptism of nature and the accumulation of time, there will be different lines to show the natural treasures that have been bred, which can be seen." ”
The first time he heard that the stone also had such a great knowledge, Lin Yun nodded, "Then you hurry up and open it, I'm also curious about what's inside." ”
Generally, there is a set of special knives used to cut the rough stone in the mine, and Gao Fan picked up the blade and cut it next to the edge of the exposed pink stone skin. The ancients said: It is difficult for immortals to break an inch of jade. If the location is not found accurately and the experience is not rich enough, even a piece of jade will be tossed into waste jade.
Gao Fan concentrated on cutting the surface of the stone skin one by one, some of the stone skin is weathered, very fragile, easy to break, thus affecting the person who operates.
The pink window opened, and there was a patch of pink underneath, and the knife went down the streak, and soon, a small pink spar was exposed to the air.
"Pink stone, a companion stone?" Ah Qi said.
"I've never heard of any associated stones that are pink."
"I think it's just a pink spirit stone, and it's worth a few dollars." Li Ming just can't see others good.
Gao Fan took out the water, and poured the water in the entire gourd upward, and the pink spar actually revealed a trace of gold, and if you looked carefully, the transparent spar was full of hair-like gold, which was extremely beautiful.
"Oh my God, it's beautiful." Some people can't help but admire.
Lin Yun squeezed in to see, isn't this very similar to the pink hair crystal on the earth?
Gao Fan lifted the stone and looked at it again and again, and said happily: "This is a glazed golden stone, which is a kind of companion stone that can enhance many attributes." "In the book left by the Master, it is recorded that there are three colors of glazed gold and stone - pink, orange, and red. The darker the color, the more energy is fed back from the center of the earth, and the purer it is. If a weapon is inlaid with bonus gems, mixing a little glazed gold stone when refining the gem will double the function, and the same is true for the alchemy.
However, there is another function - if people wear it for a long time, they can make their appearance look younger. Therefore, many aristocratic ladies are willing to spend a lot of money on purchases.
Lin Yun didn't love these since he was a child, he didn't know much, and even if he had one at home, it was orange or even red, and it was normal not to know him.
Just when everyone was admiring it, the little old man came over with a small wooden branch in his mouth, "What are you all fooling around!" "Boss, Brother Fan has opened another piece of treasure." Ah Qi knew that the little old man was also a lively master, so he hurriedly made a way with a smile.
The little old man looked at Gao Fan and then at the stone that had just been opened, and a trace of appreciation flashed in his eyes, "Gao Fan, if I remember correctly, you have not been here for a long time, and today is the third time to open a baby?" ”
Gao Fan replied dutifully: "Yes, the third time." "I muttered in my heart: Is it too many times, I should not have dug up something that I saw as rare.
"It's better than that," the little old man immediately changed his smiling face, "how about I invite you out for tea?" ”
This sentence was clueless, and it stunned the people around him.
"What a daze, I'm in a good mood today, why don't you hurry up and agree." His eyes looked at Lin Yun, "You come too." ”
The two of them followed the little old man out inexplicably.
There was a small dirt bag at the back of the wooden house, and the little old man dug the small dirt bag diligently, and in a short time he dug out more than a dozen stones of different sizes.
Looking at the surface of the stones, some stones have no traces of rubbing and no natural fractures, and some stones have knocks, rubs, or small gaps, and you can already see the color or bottom water of the stone, but there are still a large part of it is still unknown. There are thirteen pieces in total.
"This is all the belongings I've collected over the years, and I'll give them to you." The little old man looked at Gao Fan expectantly, it seemed that he had been immersed in the rough stone for a while.
"In case ......"
"No in case! You just have to give me an explanation, which is an explanation for myself, these are all rough stones that I personally selected. "The little old man has loved the original stone for a long time, but he often looks away, and he refuses to admit defeat with arrogance, and he insists on betting with people that half of the thirteen spirit stones must be rare treasures. I often didn't dare to open it, and when I saw the gambling period getting closer and closer, I happened to bump into Gao Fan cutting stones, so I pulled him over.
Gao Fan had no choice but to bite the bullet, Lin Yun looked at it curiously, pulled two stools, and planned to sit and watch with the little old man with relish.
Gao Fan had prepared everything he needed, and opening so many rough stones at one time was also an accumulation of experience for him, not to mention that these rough stones seemed to have a different aura from the ore here. Gao Fan was very curious.
Rolling up his sleeves, his arm was unexpectedly white, and he pointed to the twenty-eight acupuncture points on his arm, and with a push of his palm, his index finger continued to jump on the rough stone, which was extremely rhythmic, and after a long time, he saw that the contact surface between the fingertips of the index finger and the original stone was a little golden.
Turning stones into gold?
Isn't this a lineage of that one?
The little old man's eyes widened in disbelief.
Then he smiled and thought to himself, this time he won't win him.
