Chapter 176: The Cave Follows the Mysterio
Li Chengfeng, who was dozens of meters underground, found that he couldn't distinguish between the southeast and the northwest, and couldn't tell the difference between morning and evening, and the only thing they could rely on was three things: the pickaxe in their hands, the squirrel in the cage, and ...... Light.
Su You took a torch by himself, and he didn't mean to ask others to take the torch, and the others didn't dare to move much, Li Chengfeng was secretly wondering if he wanted to go back and take the remaining torch hanging on the wall, but he was thinking about it, and suddenly found bursts of turquoise light coming from the cave in front of him, this light was cold and bright, and it was emitted by the spirit stones embedded on both sides of the road one after another.
Li Chengfeng's eyes lit up, and he wanted to dig with a hoe, but Su You hurriedly stopped with a smile and said, "Senior Brother Chengfeng, don't dig here, this is for lighting, and this is a spirit stone, we will dig the spirit jade in a while, you follow us." ”
Li Chengfeng lost someone, but fortunately he was extremely thick-skinned, and the light under this well was dim, and he couldn't see his face clearly.
Everyone followed Su You all the way forward, walked forward about forty or fifty meters away, suddenly Li Chengfeng's eyes lit up, where he was a huge grotto, the grotto is big, there is about an acre of land, seven or eight meters high, the stone pillars in the grotto are numerous, some are towering and go straight to the top of the cave, some are short and strange, but these stone pillars are all shining with light green fluorescence, and the spiritual jade on them is one by one or among them. There were already a lot of monks in this grotto who were sweating and digging, and each of them occupied a huge stone pillar, desperately digging for the spiritual jade on it.
Li Chengfeng paid attention to it, every time these people waved the hoe, they chiseled it far away from the spirit jade, chiseled off the spirit jade and the stone, and then carefully chiseled the stone with the smaller end of the crane beak hoe until the whole piece of spirit jade was exposed.
Su You continued to walk without stopping, Li Chengfeng looked at it for a while, and hurriedly followed, and there were already people left among the people, and the vacant position here began to be excavated.
After passing through this huge grotto, Li Chengfeng found that the Yongdao at this time had branched out, and there were eight forks at the top of the grotto, Su You and Tianjun walked into the second cave on the left, and Li Chengfeng hurriedly followed.
After walking a few hundred meters like this, they passed through three grottoes of the same size as before, and then walked forward, Li Chengfeng's eyes suddenly opened up again, and what appeared in front of them was a huge cave like a dream!
This cave is dozens of times bigger than the previous grotto! Roads have been carved out of the stone walls of this grotto, winding all the way up, and it is divided into a layer every seven or eight meters, and each layer is spread out around dozens of huge stone pillars in the middle of the grotto, and there are cobweb-like stone road passages in the middle.
Li Chengfeng took a look at it, each stone pillar was surrounded by ten adult men to be able to hug it, he looked up and saw the dense spar inlay above his head, shining bright like a bright galaxy, these stone pillars one by one from the bottom to the top, like a towering giant tree, each layer of cobweb-like stone road is like its branches, and the crystal jade on the trunk is like its fruitful fruit.
Around each of the "giant trees" of each layer, there were no less than seven or eight men shirtless, wielding hoes, and the huge cavern was filled with clanging sounds, which converged densely, like a long note that never stopped.
Li Chengfeng opened his mouth at this time, stood still, only sighed, and secretly said in his heart: If you really read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles, you will have long knowledge, and you will really have long insight! If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, how could you have imagined that there is such a wonderful scene underground.
Li Chengfeng couldn't help but say, "Senior Brother Su, these ...... Are they all the senior brothers of the Lingshan Sect?"
Su You said with a smile: "Most of them are slaves of other Heavenly Pavilions, or hired miners. ”
"Hire?" asked Li Chengfeng puzzled.
Su You nodded and said, "Like many senior brothers in the Zangjin Pavilion, and many senior sisters in the Zangxiu Pavilion, they don't come to the mine by themselves, they are all hired long-term workers or their subordinates to dig by themselves. ”
Li Chengfeng couldn't help but pat his forehead and sighed: "Alas, it's a mistake!"
Su You said: "What?"
Li Chengfeng sighed: "I would have let Su Yuehan go down to the mine to mine, young master, how could I come to do such a work done by coolies! Alas, I made a mistake, I will let her come next time! Well, it's decided!"
Su You was dumbfounded: "Senior Brother Chengfeng, do you want to let a delicate little girl like Little Senior Sister go down to the mine to mine? This, this, this is too unsympathetic, right? Think twice, Senior Brother Chengfeng!"
Li Chengfeng said seriously: "In this life, I don't think she has any hope, this is also a matter of deep knowledge! The opportunity is rare, after all, I am really a gentle and considerate, kind-hearted young master, I will definitely give it to her if I have a good opportunity!"
Tianjun couldn't help laughing, and Su You couldn't help laughing.
However, there was a mysterious person in the crowd who listened to Li Chengfeng's words with his ears pricked up at this time, and secretly gritted his teeth: I am still worried about you, and I came quietly, I can't imagine that you still want to send me to this ghost place to mine? I will dig your dead head, dig a pit and bury you!!
Li Chengfeng and the others were talking and laughing here for a while, and soon someone roared at them.
"Hey, what are you doing here, get out of here, this is my territory!" a sweaty "miner" was glaring angrily at Li Chengfeng, and the group was alerted as they walked through the huge grotto, as if they were afraid that they would rob their mining area.
Li Chengfeng was a little ridiculous, Su You pulled Li Chengfeng and said, "It's too late for us to come, we have to go inside again." ”
Li Chengfeng continued to move forward, and said as he walked: "We set off before dawn, why are we still late?"
Tianjun said with a smile: "Senior Brother Chengfeng doesn't know, there are many miners here...... They live underneath, and they bring this water and dry food, and when they are tired, they roll up a bunk and sleep next to it, and they don't go out until they have dug enough. ”
Li Chengfeng was secretly terrified when he heard this, and when he looked at these miners again, he found that some people had thin bedding next to them, some of them had sunken eyes, black eye circles, and the ribs under the ribs were protruding one by one, and they were skinny.
Li Chengfeng looked secretly frightened, followed Su You and continued to walk forward, gradually passing through a few caves, the number of people in it gradually decreased, and the people who followed behind immediately occupied a mining area and began to dig hard.
Li Chengfeng didn't want to fight with them, and continued to follow Su You inside, he had more eyes, unlike these fellow doors, when he saw the empty mining area, he was like a wild dog that had been hungry for three days saw meat and bones, and pounced up like crazy, but carefully observed the situation around him.
Gradually, a group of dozens of people found their own mining area, Li Chengfeng had no one to follow anymore, he glanced back, but saw a guy wearing a monk's uniform, wearing a hood, and lowering his head not far away, this person immediately turned around and wanted to run as soon as he saw Li Chengfeng.
Li Chengfeng saw the figure of this person, and immediately laughed angrily, he flew over, grabbed this person, pulled down the hood, and slapped this person's buttocks, and a crisp sound immediately spread from the grotto.
This person has black hair, combing a simplest bun, although the figure is covered in a wide monk's uniform, but it still looks exquisite, she blushes shyly, covers her buttocks, jumps back, and glares at Li Chengfeng with an angry face, that delicate and angry, disgusted and happy appearance, who can it be if it is not Su Yuehan?
