Chapter 142: Jade Mine
Leng Xingyun and Zhang Fan kept looking for the afternoon, but they couldn't find the flying machine.
"Come here today, and look for it tomorrow." Leng Xingyun said.
Zhang Fan, who was tired and hungry, wanted to go back quickly to replenish his strength, but just as he turned around and was about to follow Leng Xingyun back, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of a rock in the distance, which seemed to be shining with an inconspicuous white light under the sunlight.
"Leng Nebula, what do you think that's that?"
Leng Xingyun looked in the direction of Zhang Fan's finger, hissed, and looked at Zhang Fan incredulously, "My gaze swept over there several times, but I didn't find anything abnormal, how did you find out?" ”
"Uh......" Zhang Fan scratched his head embarrassedly: "I just glanced at it so casually and unintentionally." ”
"......" Leng Xingyun was speechless for a moment, and took Zhang Fan to the rock.
The glowing dot on the rock, half-embedded in the stone.
Leng Xingyun pulled out his dagger and slashed it down next to the glowing point.
Zhang Fan immediately pinched a cold sweat for the dagger, but when he saw that the rock was shattered, but the dagger was not damaged at all, Zhang Fan breathed a sigh of relief and threw an envious look at Leng Xingyun: "I knew that your dagger was sharp before, but I didn't expect it to be so sharp!" What a dagger! ”
"The thousand-year-old bronze dagger is not only made of bronze, but also has a dark iron component, that is, a meteorite. After countless processes of smelting, and blacksmiths for several days and nights of careful polishing, it is naturally extremely sharp and indestructible. Leng Nebula explained with a little pride.
"Yes." Zhang Fan nodded, looked at the broken stone, and suddenly said in surprise: "Jade in the stone? It's still such a translucent white jade! ”
Leng Xingyun looked at it, and was also stunned for a moment, and then looked around: "It can't be the only one, there must be one, maybe the entrance to the jade mine is nearby!" ”
"Wait!" Zhang Fan grabbed Leng Xingyun and asked, "Finding the jade mine, is it equivalent to finding the snow mountain ice spirit?" ”
Leng Xingyun nodded.
"You haven't told me all the time, why do you want to find the mountain snow ice spirit?" Zhang Fan asked, "I know you don't want to say it, but can this be regarded as the last secret about you that I told me?" ”
Leng Xingyun nodded: "Everything in the world has a mutual restraint principle. Therefore, there is a way to live forever, and there is also a way to crack it. It's just that, after hundreds of years of searching and research, I still haven't found a way to crack it. So, I came up with a solution that wasn't the way to go.
Collect the materials that I know or can be related to immortality, synthesize them, and extract the ingredients for experiments. If the ingredients are similar or consistent with the ingredients in my blood, I can find the opposite substance, and finally I can really get into the cracking research. ”
"It sounds like that, but ......," Zhang Fan worried, "This method is too complicated, and you have to keep conducting various experimental studies during this period, and the results of the experiments may be innumerable."
In addition, it is possible that the amount of ingredients is slightly off, which can lead to other results. The most important thing is that the amount of work involved in this project is huge, and the time and energy consumed are far beyond imagination. And, in the end, it's hard to achieve, or even the results you want.
It's not that I deliberately poured cold water on you, but I also took a lot of experimental classes in school, including some special experiments, so I know how difficult and hard-won the experimental results are, but in the end I found out that the results were still wrong. ”
"Well, I know. People in the world say that immortality is good, and that is because they have not attained immortality, and they are full of desire to obtain it, so they have a lot of emotions and desires for longevity that they should not have.
And I, the owner of immortality, know very well what immortality means to me. What I gain and what I lose is not at all proportionate. Therefore, I am the only one who deeply understands that immortality is not beautiful at all, but a thing full of horror and pain. ”
Speaking of this, Leng Xingyun sighed and said with a firm expression: "In order to be able to crack the immortality, no matter what the final result is, I must try." ”
"Good!" Zhang Fan said firmly: "No matter what happens in the end, I will do my best to help you this time!" ”
Subsequently, the two split up to find the entrance to the jade mine nearby.
Suddenly, they finally found the entrance.
Upon entering, there is a passage that is half stone and half jade.
The two of them kept walking inside, and at the end of the passage they saw a large piece of crystal white and translucent jade.
On the jade, there is also a jade bead that is the size of a fist and is not very regular.
"Snow Mountain Ice Spirit?!" Leng Xingyun was surprised, ran over to take a look, and wanted to take it off, but found that the snow mountain ice spirit was actually connected to the stone.
Seeing this, Leng Xingyun hurriedly used his dagger to slash down at the junction between the ice spirit and the stone.
But the strange thing is that the dagger, which was originally sharpened like clay, couldn't cut off the jade bead.
"How so?" Zhang Fan was also very surprised.
Leng Xingyun frowned and shook his head, and then even he didn't know what to think, he actually cut his finger and dripped the blood of his fingertip on the junction between the snow mountain ice spirit and the stone.
A miracle happened!
The snow-capped mountain ice spirit actually rolled down on its own.
Leng Xingyun was slightly excited, picked up the ice spirit, and left the passage with Zhang Fan.
"I really regret that I didn't bring Qian Lang, if I did, he would try his best to fill his pockets with jade." Zhang Fan said.
"It's useless to pretend now, but I have to throw it away." Leng Xingyun explained: "Because we have a lot of equipment itself, although we have consumed a lot of things, the space is still limited.
If your pockets and bags are full of jade, it will be difficult to walk and even harder to descend the mountain. In the end, the jade had to be thrown away! ”
Zhang Fan thought about it and felt that it was right!
But after going back, Qian Lang still begged Zhang Fan to take him to the jade mine to have a look, "I have never seen a jade mine in my life!" Will you take me to see it? ”
Zhang Fan immediately refused and relayed Leng Xingyun's words to Qian Lang.
"I promise not to take any of the jade inside, it's really just to see what the jade mine looks like, isn't that okay?" Qian Lang looked at Zhang Fan pitifully.
Zhang Fan was helpless and sighed: "Okay, I can take you there." ”
Leng Xingyun felt that there was nothing wrong in the jade mine, so he didn't stop him and let the two go to the jade mine.
After the two arrived at the jade mine, Qian Lang saw some small pieces of jade on the ground, so he picked up a few pieces and put them in his pocket when Zhang Fan was not paying attention.
It just so happened that Zhang Fan turned around and saw the piece of jade in Qian Lang's hand, and smiled at him embarrassedly: "This is very beautiful!" ”
Zhang Fan shook his head helplessly: "Just this one, don't install more, after all, in the snow mountain, we don't have extra space to hold too much jade, and it's very heavy." ”
Qian Lang hurriedly nodded in agreement.
