Chapter 21: Into the Cave
"What, who is Mr. Hong, you don't even know Mr. Hong. Mr. Hong is the head of our Ling Xue Empire's First Chamber of Commerce, the Ling Tian Chamber of Commerce, on the border of the Phantom Beast Mountain Range. Mr. Hong is a very good man, not only calmed down the chaos, but also helped us save the jade stone, and there was no charge.
"Mr. Hong proposed, let everyone deposit the Xuanyu Stone into the Lingtian Chamber of Commerce, and if you need to take out this part of the Xuanyu Stone in the future, you can take it with the help of the wooden card. ”
Wu Yi thought in his heart: This is a great opportunity, the ore here can be mined by everyone, so can't he also go in and mine it? Wu Yi thought that he still owed the school money, and he felt a faint sadness.
asked the drunk man if he wanted to go, and the drunk man shook his head and said he didn't want to go.
"Let's go, let's go, this kind of good thing, it's rare to encounter, in the future, the imperial army will strictly guard this mine, and if we want to get in the future, it will be difficult, even if we can get in, the jade stone dug up will become the empire's, and we can only get some wages." ”
Unable to resist Wu Yi's insistence, the drunk man finally nodded and reluctantly agreed to enter the cave. You can't go into the hole empty-handed, you also need a pickaxe. There is no shortage of speculative businessmen.
Around the mine, there have been people who have laid straw mats and set up stalls, some selling steamed buns, some selling bamboo baskets, selling gloves, etc., and some of them are selling pickaxes.
Selling manuscripts in this kind of place, because there is no shortage of sales, the price is ridiculously high. Although they were mentally prepared, when the two asked, they were still jumped by the price offered by the merchant who sold the manuscript. A manuscript actually costs five gold coins, and the two of them don't have so much money.
The merchant smiled and said: "No money, no money can be used to pay off debts, as long as you dig five kilograms of jade for me, this pickaxe money, even if it is off."
"Profiteers, profiteers. Five kilograms of jade is equivalent to 10 gold coins. Isn't this equivalent to doubling the price? Moreover, the jade stone is extremely hard, and even if an ordinary person digs for half an hour, he can only dig off one kilogram of output, isn't it equivalent to digging for several hours in the first few hours in vain?"
Even so, Wu Yi and the others could only consider themselves unlucky and sold them for the time being.
With a pickaxe and a lack of bamboo baskets, the two of them were ready to be pitted, but the vendors selling bamboo baskets told them that they didn't pit people, and they didn't want jade stones. When the two of them first felt that they had met a conscientious vendor, the vendor said that he only had a gold coin and could not use the jade stone to pay off the debt.
Wu Yi and the two of them instantly ran wildly. "Alas" the two sighed one after another, and the drunk man took out a gold coin he had treasured, so he had to admit it.
After preparing their things, the two of them came to Mr. Hong to report to him, registered it, and signed a contract that roughly meant that they agreed to hand over the excavated ore to them for safekeeping, which agreed to let the two in. After the two entered, a high-level phantom beast master behind Mr. Hong lowered his head and quietly told Mr. Hong that two more phantom beast masters had entered.
Mr. Hiroshi nodded in understanding. It was the two high-level phantom beast masters behind Mr. Hong who talked in a low voice: "See, there are two more who are going to explore the way." You say, will they encounter what happened last time.
"Hahaha, it shouldn't be so unlucky. The two high-level phantom beast thieves said with a smile.
Mr. Hong picked up the jade stone on the table, took out an instrument similar to a telescope, and observed a jade stone on the table. I saw only one lens through the instrument. You can see some white smoke in the jade, but it doesn't flow, as if it is frozen in ice.
"It's strange, how did the magic power smoke fade? Could it be that this is a fake jade stone? Could it be that thing is going to happen again. ”
Mr. Hiroshi said to himself. Mr. Hiroshi's eyes looked at the entrance of the cave with a hint of unease.
It is said to be a mining cave, but in fact, it was just a natural stone crack at the beginning, but after two days of continuous mining, it has been derived into the ground for a distance of dozens of meters. If you only rely on the villagers who don't have much magic power, you can't mine so much. This is all thanks to the beginner phantom beast masters who travel to and from this town.
Because their strength is stronger than ordinary people, and their endurance is also stronger, they can mine for a longer time, and they have already mined so deep in just two days. But it's also thanks to people's greed. Only such a strong desire can support people's excavation day and night.
The further inside, the more branching cracks there were, and everyone dug into each crack, causing a lot of branching cracks. The capable Phantom Beast Master occupied a crack and began to dig. More people started digging into the one with the biggest crack in the mine.
Wu Yi and the others entered the cave and found that the capable phantom beast master had occupied the branch mines of each crack, so the two had to go to the main mine and start digging. Because of the influx of villagers, the two-meter-wide mine was overcrowded. The two of them didn't even have a place to pick up.
"Hey, where do I recognize it. ”
As soon as Wu Yi saw a place where he could get a pickaxe, he was stopped by the villagers who came from behind, and said that it was the place he occupied.
The two searched and searched, and the places where it seemed that the jade stones could be found were occupied. Wu Yi and the others found the wall of the cave that looked like only dirt and began to dig.
One, two, three...... Wu Yi waved his arms, but he made a lot of dust, and there were insulting voices around him.
"Who, will you dig and raise such dust. ”
"Won't dig, fuck off. ”
"Don't be embarrassed here"
Wu Yi ignored it, and just when he wanted to continue digging, he was stopped by the drunk man next to him.
"You really don't know how to dig. The drunk man said
"If you dig like this, not only are you wasting your strength, but you can't dig anything. I'll teach you how to dig. ”
The drunken man gestured and said, "The power of the pickaxe is not used from the hand. I want to send it from my waist," he said, and patted Wu Yi's waist.
"If you want to use the strength of your waist, your feet must be steady, and your steps are not tied enough. The drunk man kicked Wu Yi's foot
"That's right, waist force, and then wave your hands, look at the tip of the pickaxe, only in this way can you know where the force point of the digging is, so that you will not dig dusty. ”
The drunk man was instructing, and Wu Yi was stiff in a gesture. Although Wu Yi's posture was stiff, he was already able to draw the main points clearly. After digging a few times, Wu Yi's posture changed from stiff to smooth, and after a few more diggings, Wu Yi's figure was already able to change from smooth to calm.
"Look, that's right. ”
At this time, Wu Yi was using the drunken man to teach him to dig the soil and rocks in front of him, and it was no longer dusty. Every time I dug up, sand and gravel rolled down, but it didn't raise much dust.
The drunk man watched from the side, secretly frightened, secretly amazed Wu Yi's ability to learn skills and his ability to adapt, generally speaking, even if he is a person who has just learned to use a pickaxe, no matter how talented he is, he will have to learn it for a day or two, but Wu Yi is good, he just listened to his own explanation and waved it a few times. To be able to do this, could it be that Wu Yi is the legendary genius of the new generation of pickaxes!
In fact, what the drunk man didn't know was that under the devil's training of the little old man who raised Wu Yi, Wu Yi's nervous reaction and muscle memory ability had reached a very terrifying level. And such a simple skill as wielding a pickaxe, of course, Wu Yi can learn it in minutes.
Dig a few times, only to hear
Bang
The pickaxe in Wu Yi's hand seemed to have dug up something hard and was shocked back.
"Xuanyu, I dug up Xuanyu, and it is still a very large piece. Wu Yi said happily.
