"The two mines were not dug at the same time." Yan, who had been silent all along, spoke at this time.

Hearing his words, everyone couldn't help but stop arguing about which mine to go to, and turned their heads to look at him.

"You see, the one on the left is obviously excavated manually, and the chisel marks on it are very obvious." Yan pointed to the stone wall of the cave on the left and said.

When the crowd heard this, they stepped forward.

Sure enough, the mine on the left was chiseled out with a chisel.

"What age is it now, and you still dig by hand, and you are not afraid of being tired to death?" Mountain ghost road.

"No, this is not dug in modern times, you see, there is not much difference between the surrounding and the stone walls outside these chisel marks, and the years of existence of this mine are probably more than ten years!" Uncle Long touched the stone wall and said,

"Let's go, look over there."

Uncle Long took the first step and walked to the entrance of the mine on the right, the walls of this mine cave were very rough, and large pieces of rock were directly broken, and in some places there were gravel piles in the corners of the ground.

"This was dug by the machine, it should have been dug by the later group of people, and the railroad track also leads to this mine, it seems that we don't have to worry about which one to take." Uncle Wang said.

"However, there is already one, so why do they want to make another one? Are you panicked about burning too much money? Boss Zhang squinted his eyes and said.

"That's right, what Boss Zhang said this time is reasonable." Uncle Long nodded.

"What do you mean, Master Long, do you mean that what I said before was nonsense?" Boss Zhang glared.

"Oops, that's not what it meant, it's not that." Uncle Long hurriedly hahad: "If it were you, under what circumstances would you give up a ready-made passage and dig it out?" ”

"Well, this ......"

Listening to Uncle Long's words, several people fell into thought.

"Could there be such a possibility?" Uncle Long looked at everyone; "The first possibility is that they found this existing mine when they dug here, or maybe it wasn't a mine at all. When they went in and investigated, they found that the road didn't lead to where they wanted to go, so they dug up a new one. ”

"The second possibility is that they came here to find this ancient mine road, but for some reason, there may have been a collapse or something else in this mine road, so they couldn't get through here, so they had to dig a new passage next to it, connecting with the existing ancient mine road, bypassing the part that could not be passed."

"If that's the case, then the group of people is here for more than just mining. If they had known that there was such an ancient road underneath, then the so-called mining was just a cover, and their true identity and purpose ......." Uncle Wang glanced at everyone.

"I don't think this was the case before, and the people who came later destroyed the entire original structure underground. This ancient mine cave can't exist here for no reason, the part before the entrance of the cave should overlap with the one we entered. Moreover, there is such a large space here, it was all dug later, if they were really looking for that ancient mining road, why did they dig such a big hole here. Yang Lixuan said.

"So what you mean?" Yan asked.

"The later group may have really just been mining, but they stumbled upon such a mining tunnel, and in order to save manpower, they kept digging along the mining tunnel. Halfway through the digging, where we are, what they want appears in the rock formation, which is why there is so much space here. ”

"Well, you think the same thing as I do. This ancient cave has been around for a long time, and those people must have explored it since they came in. Even if there was anything, it would have been taken away by them a long time ago. Yan said.

"The locals said they had an accident because they dug underneath the cannibal valley, and our destination was there. So, following the railroad tracks is the right direction. Yang Lixuan said.

"Hmm." Everyone nodded in agreement. Boss Zhang wanted to say something more, but when he saw that Yan agreed, he didn't say anything more. After determining the direction, the group of people set off again, and when they left, Chen Tao looked at the ancient mine road and was a little stunned, I don't know why, the mine cave gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if he had been here before.

"Taozi, what do you think, let's go!" Haozi shouted at Chen Tao, Chen Tao came to his senses, shook his head, and followed everyone into the cave.

After a few people walked a few steps along the mine road on the right, Chen Tao suddenly remembered something and asked, "Hey, do you still remember, Old Man Li Guangsheng and Old Man Liu seem to have mentioned the same thing?"

"What's the matter?" Uncle Long asked.

"Corpses!" Chen Tao said, "Li Guangsheng said that there are a lot of corpses and bones in the big pit of the Cannibal Valley, and the one in the Cannibal Valley, let's talk about it separately." But didn't Liu Laohan say that he touched the ribs on the corpse in this mine? But we walked all the way, not to mention the corpses, not even a single hair was seen! ”

"Huh? It's really Lord Long, I haven't seen any corpses along the way? The mountain ghost was also curious.

"Oh, Liu Laohan, this old man is lying to us! I'm going to have a lung! Boss Zhang scolded on the side.

"And didn't he say that his sheep died here, and that there was no carcass of any sheep?" Haozi was also a little angry, gritting his teeth.

Listening to everyone's words, Uncle Long's heart chuckled, and the fists of both hands were clenched tightly and released again. An imperceptible look flashed in his eyes, and he said in his heart: "Could it be that they are doing ghosts again?" Is that old man Liu really their person? The proprietress of the commissary, the crazy boy, and Li Guangsheng...... In that case, you're in trouble! ”

It was pitch black all around, no one noticed the change in Uncle Long's expression, Uncle Long glanced around from the corner of his eye, and saw that there was nothing unusual about these people in the mine, and he couldn't see anything in the dark, so he couldn't help but have a heart, and said: "If all this is really like that, this trip will be lively!"

"It's not necessarily that they're lying." Yang Lixuan said: "Under normal circumstances, it takes 7---10 years for adults to go from flesh to ossification and then to be completely decomposed, 410 years for children, 4---5 years for children, 2---3 years for young children, and about 1 year for newborn corpses. The place is so humid and connected to the outside all year round that it is almost a natural breeding ground for microbes and bacteria. Corpses will decompose faster here than outside. ”

"Also, there are no wild cats or dogs crawling in for food. In such a place, the chances of the body being preserved are very small. After a pause, Yang Lixuan continued:

"It's been many years since they said these things, and even if they can't find the body, it's not surprising. Li Guangsheng and the people who opened the mountain to mine at the beginning forget it, it is basically impossible to stay from decades ago, as for that old man Liu, when he was scared half to death, I doubt that what he touched was a corpse. The ground was full of rotten sleepers and railroad tracks, and his sheep shovel might have been stuck. ”

"Well, what he said makes a lot of sense, we didn't have anything to do with that old man Liu before, and it only took us a day to be a guide to guide us, and all the money that should be given was given, and he had no reason to lie to us if he had no grudges!" Chen Tao also echoed.

"Oh, the little boss of the Chen family, you are still too young, as the saying goes, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs! I look at the old street thief, very fine, who knows what he thinks in his heart! Boss Zhang shook his two big hands, very angry.

"I think there is still some truth in what he said, maybe we are thinking too much." Uncle Wang said.

"Let's hope so." Listening to everyone's analysis, Uncle Long frowned, and said, "Let's go, it's already down anyway, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, let's continue."

The crowd no longer dwelled on the matter and continued to descend the railroad tracks. After passing several upward curved slopes along the way, Chen Tao noticed that as he went deeper, the color of the surrounding rock walls slowly turned black. The flashlight shines on, although most of them are black stones, but there are many small spars in some places, and the light of the wolf's eye flashlight shines crystal clear, like clotted cream, with a little black fluorescence.

"Damn, this thing, it can't be jade, right?" Chen Tao was taken aback, and said in his heart, "Could it be that those people were digging jade here back then?" Underneath the Man-eating Valley, there will be a piece of jade ore? ”

Hearing Chen Tao's voice, the others also noticed the changes in the surrounding stone walls, and took flashlights to shine on the black spars embedded in the stone walls.

"Oh, I'm dripping a lung, this is not just jade, this TM is black jade, oops, it's going to be developed now! It's developed! Boss Zhang greedily touched a small piece of spar the size of a fingernail on the stone wall, and his big mouth was almost to the root of his ears. He picked up the folding shovel and pried it into the stone wall, trying to pull out the small piece of black hedrons.

Boss Zhang wasted half a day's strength, but the spar on the stone wall did not move at all, only deducting a little small crack. Ah Cheng on the side said: "Boss Zhang, I'll come." ”

I saw that he took the folding shovel in Boss Zhang's hand, shoveled it towards the stone wall, and the blade was directly inserted into the little crack that Boss Zhang took half a day to deduct, and then his shoulders were against the stone wall, and as soon as his two arms were forced, he heard a cracking sound, and a black spar the size of a finger was deducted by him.

Boss Zhang directly stepped forward and picked it up, picked up the flashlight and shone it carefully.

"Huh? What is this, why haven't I seen this kind of black jade before? ”

On the other side, Ah Cheng deducted a few more grains, and sure enough, the strong man is different, such a lot of strength is not something that ordinary people can have, mercenary Titan, this head is really not called in vain.

Everyone picked up one and held it up in front of their eyes to look at it carefully

"These, it seems that they are just ordinary black crystals, and they can still be sold for a few bucks when they are taken back to make handicrafts." Uncle Long said.

"I had a lung, I thought it was black jade, but it turned out to be just some garbage!" Seeing that it was just an ordinary spar, Boss Zhang pursed his lips and threw it aside.

"Hey, although this thing is not very valuable now, it was very rare in the past! The gang probably came to dig it because they found out that there was a black crystal mine here. Looking at it like this, the black crystal on this section of the road has been almost dug up. Yan looked at the black crystal in his hand, and threw it aside with disdain.

"I think it's pretty good, and it's nice to make a ring necklace or something. Get some of this on the wooden box, and maybe it will sell well. Haozi pinched the small spar in his hand and put it in his pocket. Mausoleum keepers are not like tomb robbers, they all have serious business on the surface. Li Lao has his own wood shop, and Haozi saw that the texture and gloss of this black spar were good, so he planned to go back to research and see if he could use it for wood decoration.

"Cut ......" Seeing that Haozi had packed up the black crystal, Yan cut it disdainfully, there was not much space in the mine, and everyone heard it. Haozi immediately became angry and scolded:

"What's the red hair, do you have an opinion?"

"How dare you! You're all big guys, I'm a nobody, I don't know much. Yan said lightly.

Listening to his lazy and disdainful tone, Haozi couldn't wait to wipe all the red hairs off his head, and was about to have a seizure, Uncle Long coughed and said, "Haozi." ”

Seeing that Uncle Long spoke, Haozi had no choice but to endure the anger in his heart, and glanced at Yan fiercely and said, "You wait for me!" After speaking, he followed Uncle Long and walked forward.

The corners of Yan's mouth twitched, he smiled indifferently, and wrote swaggering in his pocket, with an expression that he had the ability to hit me.

Seeing Haozi angry, Chen Tao couldn't help but feel angry in his heart. Before, Yan was silent, and thought that he was similar to Yang Lixuan, maybe he was a powerful person with some ability, but it turned out to be like this. It's not that this person doesn't like to talk, I'm afraid he feels too good about himself!

Judging by his age, he is not a few years old from himself and Haozi, and he may even be younger than himself. I watched him stun the son of the commissary proprietress before, and he obviously practiced it. Chen Tao knew in his heart that if he were replaced by him, he would never be as neat as Yan.

"Hmph, I hope you have the capital to make yourself arrogant!" Chen Tao glanced at him, and followed Haozi to find Uncle Long.

Uncle Wang's mountain ghost didn't speak, after all, they were all from the past, this kind of thing is not strange, compared to them, Chen Tao and Haozi are still younger.

Boss Zhang walked over from behind, patted Yan's shoulder, and made a thumbs-up gesture with his hand. The two looked at each other and smiled, and Boss Zhang's chin was raised, signaling Yan to move on.

"Damn, this red hair is very arrogant!" Haozi gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.

"Now is not the time to tear your face with them, don't be impulsive." Uncle Long shook his head and said, "Let's go, there's still a long road ahead." ”

"These old stubborns in the Chen family of the Lingmeng are stubborn, and they have to set up an archway when they become bitches, and they don't take good things every time they support the pot, and they don't let others touch them, they only know how to pick some indiscriminate gadgets. Even if they take it, they won't make a move, and a lot of valuable treasures have been hidden for them, I really don't know what they think. If there is something good on this trip, if they dare to hinder us......" Yan raised his hand and made a gesture to wipe his neck.

Ah Cheng shook his head and said, "The above said, just let us keep an eye on them, that guy named Chen Tao, I don't know what he can do, and he even attracted him." ”

Yan squinted his eyes at the back of one of the people in front of him, licked his lips with his tongue and said, "What do they want to do?"

"Di Yilong, this old fox, is really good, I didn't expect to find them as helpers! This dead hit the street, so much so that he really underestimated him. Boss Zhang squinted his eyes and said.

"Hmph, interesting, let's go, the fun is still to come." Yan smiled evilly and said

"Hmph, Chen Tao, is it? I'd like to see what you can surprise us, but don't let me down......"
