Chapter 44: Into the Mountain
The air in the office of the director of the Bincheng Martial Arts Bureau was a little stagnant, and Wan Li muttered for two seconds: "Deputy Deputy Director, I'm really sorry, I broke the spirit stone in a moment of excitement, do you think this can be stuck back?" ”
Hei Danyan's clear eyes stared at Director Liao a few times, then turned to Wan Li and said, "Don't take it as an example." ”
Wan Li smiled, and Director Liao breathed a sigh of relief. He was just curious, sucking a little, sucking a little, sucking a little more......
And Wanli helped Director Liao out of the siege, completely because there was a third person in this room besides Director Liao Hei Danyan, an old uncle with a Mediterranean hairstyle who he had never seen before, saving some face for Director Liao in front of outsiders...... Although the old uncle seems to have seen through everything.
"This is a geology expert and doctoral supervisor of Yan University, Professor Cui Wenyuan Cui, and this time he will lead a team into the mountain to investigate." Hei Danyan introduced.
"Hello, Professor Cui." Wan Li immediately bowed down and said suspiciously: "Into the mountain to investigate?" ”
"The original discoverer of the spirit stone was Bai Laohan from Xiema Village, and the place where it was discovered was Xiling of Xiema Village." Director Liao said: "After getting this spirit stone, I went to make a trip, but I didn't find the second one. It's impossible to determine if this spirit stone is an exception, or if there's a vein there! Professor Cui came to investigate this very likely vein. ”
"All I can say is do your best." Professor Cui said, speaking at a very slow pace: "With this brand new ore, our experience is likely to be useless. What's more, the only sample is still mutilated. ”
Director Liao: "...... You are humble. ”
"Shema Village...... Shema Village? Wan Li frowned and murmured: "I haven't heard of it, are you looking for me?" ”
"It's a small mountain village in the middle of nowhere, about 480 kilometers away from Bincheng City." Director Liao continued: "Wali Yang, your task is to protect Professor Cui and his party from entering the mountain to investigate. I'll send you to the foot of the mountain in a moment, and you'll ...... tomorrow."
……
In the early morning of the next day, a group of 10 people walked into Xiling Village. Six of them were a survey team from Yanjing led by Professor Cui, walking in the middle of the team, and at the front of the team were Bai Laohan, the original discoverer of the spirit stone, and Liu Miao, the 'head of the guard'.
At the back of the team were two 'guard miscellaneous soldiers', Wan Li and Zhong Yumi. They were carrying a full package on their backs, and from time to time they looked at each other and smiled helplessly. This is a guard, it is clear that he is here to be a coolie. If the trip doesn't go well, they're likely to have to stay in the mountains for a few days, so they'll have a lot of things to bring, most of them on them.
As for Hei Danyan, her superpowers are suitable for acting alone, and she is not in the team, so she doesn't know where to go in Xiema Village.
There was no road in Xiema Village, but when there were more people walking, it became a road. Therefore, the mountain road is not difficult to walk, avoiding some bush obstacles, and after more than an hour, everyone finally arrived at their destination.
"That stone... I should have picked it up there. The old man pointed to a big tree, uncertain. He's still a little confused, and it's really a treasure to pick up a random rock?
Hearing this, a man and a woman in the survey team immediately left the team and walked quickly towards the big tree.
Wan Li took off a few heavy packages on his body, took a deep breath, and stood still looking into the distance: "The air is really refreshing, I didn't know that there were such good mountains and rivers in Bincheng...... Uh, water? ”
He blinked, and suddenly remembered something.
The spirit stone has appeared, what about the essence of the spirit stone?
……
Under the command of Professor Cui, the survey team from Yanjing quickly dispersed.
There are those who measure soil moisture, those who measure the content of various elements in the soil, and those who can't understand the mess......
Wan Li and Zhong Yumi arranged a large open space, put down all the tents and other sundries on their backs, and followed the survey team members who were far away from the team for personal protection, while Liu Miao guarded the place.
Wan Li followed and protected a girl surnamed Jiao, twenty-five or sixteen years old, one of the doctoral students led by Professor Cui, not tall, with a round face, shy and cute, but the work is not ambiguous, digging a pit here and pulling grass there, Wan Li looked at the side twice and couldn't help at all, so he looked at a stream flowing down from the top of the mountain in the distance, and fell into deep thought.
Because he never thought that things like spirit stones could also manifest, he didn't have a very detailed setting of the spirit stone mine in the comics, and only summarized it in a few short sentences.
'The treasures that accelerate cultivation are scarce and rare, and they are strategic materials for the major sects of the Spiritual Qi Continent. ’
The setting of the essence of the spirit stone is also very short.
'There is a certain probability that treasures will be produced in the super-large spirit stone veins, and the effect is a hundred times that of the spirit stones, and they are often born near the water sources through which the spirit stone veins pass. ’
The spirit stone vein is called the ore vein, which means that most of the spirit stones are buried in the ground and need to be excavated, and Bai Laohan can pick up a spirit stone on the surface, which means that if it is not only a few spirit stones sporadically manifested this time, there are spirit stone veins here, then it must be a large ore vein......
Wan Li was thinking about it in his mind, and there were already a few people on the other side who had finished measuring something and ran to report to Professor Cui, and then Professor Cui went to Liu Miao's side and said a few words.
Liu Miao pondered for a moment and raised his voice: "Wanli Yang, come on!" ”
Wanli was stunned for a moment, hesitantly glanced at the girl who was still squatting and busy next to her, she raised her head and said shyly: "You go, I have no problem here." ”
Wan Li glanced around, nodded lightly, and walked towards Liu Miao. The corners are relatively open, and there is still more than half a distance from the top of the mountain, so it is unlikely that wild beasts will appear.
"Class Director Liu, what's the matter?"
Liu Miao raised his hand and handed over a steel shovel, pointing to his feet: "Dig a pit here, about ten meters deep, and collect some soil below." ”
Wan Li grinned: "I understand, I'm a tired silly boy when this mission is called!" ”
Liu Miao smiled: "Don't talk nonsense, and don't let you do it alone, you take two steps back first, Professor Cui, you retreat...... Ten meters! ”
When they retreated, Liu Miao raised his right leg high, and then fell down heavily, going back and forth three times!
The ground trembled and cracked, and Wanli's figure shook twice, and his feet grasped the ground hard to stabilize his figure...... It seems that Liu Miao has traveled a long distance in the B class in the past four months.
After doing this, Liu Miao took two or three breaths, then stood in place for three seconds, and slowly retreated: "Wan Liyang, start digging." ”
Wan Li walked over: "Is it numb?" ”
Liu Miao was expressionless and ignored him.
Wanli smiled, no more nonsense, digging with a steel shovel, he hadn't practiced for a long time, he also wanted to move his body, his arms were swinging faster and faster, and the dust was so far away that everyone retreated!
"It can be faster, faster!" Wanli made a spade with all his might: "Wow, this hand speed of C-level is so cool!" ”
There was originally an enthusiastic big brother in the survey team who wanted to come over to help, but in a blink of an eye, he disappeared, and when he looked again, he had dug more than three meters deep!
He scratched his head: "Teacher, no wonder you said that you don't need to bring large assembly equipment this time, just bring a strong steel shovel, cultivators are much easier to use than those equipment...... Uh, no! Burst! Bah! ”
Half-drenched with soil, he smiled wryly and stepped back while patting the dust off his body.
"Wanli Yang, tap!" Liu Miao shouted.
"Okay!"
