CHAPTER XXVI

The mountain in front of Yunming Mountain is not much different from the mountains in most scenic spots, and the direction of the main gate is a huge square. Once inside, climb the stairs and slowly climb to the top.

On both sides of the stone staircase are barren mountain paths, where bamboo and some unknown weeds and vines crisscross each other, covering all the roads. Especially under the current darkness of the night, looking up at the past, it makes people feel as if there is some giant beast hiding in it. Yunmingshan is not particularly high, but for the vast majority of urbanites who lack exercise, it is quite a test to climb it in one breath, so the developers built a fairly large square about halfway up the mountain.

During the day, there are many people who rest and stay here, and on the evenings of some major holidays, there are many people camping to watch the sunrise. It's just that now, on the huge square, there are only Wei Xiao and Qin Zhao.

Occasionally, you can hear three or two insect chirpings and bird chirpings from the mountain forest, and together with the bustling crowd and brilliant lights at the foot of the mountain in the distance, it forms a more stark contrast, and it seems that everything is silent here.

Qin Zhao walked straight towards a mountain wall, naturally as if he had entered his office on the ninety-ninth floor.

Wei Xiao followed closely behind, staring intently ahead, for fear that he would miss the other party's wonderful moment if he was not careful.

Qin Zhao didn't know when two more light-colored, moon-white spars suddenly appeared in his hands, and Wei Xiao saw that his hand holding the spar was gently lifted up, and then landed steadily on the mountain wall.

Like countless scenes that appear in movies and anime, the mountain wall, which is obviously pitch black and hard, seems to be melted the moment it touches the spar, and a black hole slowly emerges from the center. Looking at it from Wei Xiao's point of view, there is nothing in it, not at all like the imaginary ore vein, and after entering, you can see the brightly lit mine road and the noisy work scene.

Quiet, except that quiet is still quiet.

Suddenly, there was a crow call, Wei Xiao was so frightened that he couldn't help but snort, and subconsciously snorted softly.

"What's wrong?" Qin Zhao stood at the door, turned his head and looked at her suspiciously.

"No, nothing." Wei Xiao swallowed his saliva and pretended to be calm: "I was startled when I suddenly heard a crow call." ”

"Crow calls?" Qin Zhao twisted his eyebrows slightly, and looked behind Wei Xiao: "There should be no crows here." ”

"Huh? Didn't you? ”

"Yes, absolutely not here."

Looking at the other party's categorical expression, Wei Xiao suddenly didn't know what to say, as if he was now deliberately trying to make up for his own coward.

"Oh, maybe I'm having auditory hallucinations, I don't think I've heard it that really."

Qin Zhao still looked at her with a puzzled expression, Wei Xiao had no choice but to forcibly stop the topic, walked to the other party's side, looked inside curiously and said, "Here, this is your family's mine, is there a lamp?" It felt dark, I couldn't see anything clearly, and I thought it would be a little scary. ”

Seeing that she didn't continue, Qin Zhao didn't ask any more questions quite cooperatively, obviously looking at the mountain with a solemn expression, and when he turned his head, his face returned to his usual light appearance: "There is no need for a light here, you and I will know when you go in, follow me." ”

"Don't need lights?" Wei Xiao blurted out, and then he reacted. The hedron itself will glow, but when there are only one or two of them, it looks very light in color and does not have the effect of lighting, but if it is really as the other party said, there is a complete vein, then there is naturally no need for light inside.

"Hmm." Qin Zhao nodded, took a long step and walked in.

Wei Xiao looked around, and the night wind on the mountain was a little strong, which made her involuntarily shiver. Rubbing his arms helplessly, he walked in after Qin Zhao.

The mine road was farther than expected, and when you walked in, the darkness and oppression of isolation came to you. Wei Xiao originally thought that people like herself, who were used to moving in the early morning or at night, should not be too afraid, but when she was completely wrapped in darkness, she inevitably had a lot of unsteadiness on the ground.

Wei Xiao looked at the darker black shadow in front of him, hesitated, took a few steps forward, and carefully pulled the corner of the other party's clothes.

Qin Zhao felt the strangeness coming from the corner of his clothes, and for no reason his heart trembled, the corners of his mouth involuntarily raised slightly, and he slowed down unconsciously by the way.

The two walked forward for about two or three minutes, and Qin Zhao suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Close your eyes first, and then slowly adapt to opening them when you feel the light." ”

Wei Xiao suddenly understood, knowing that this should be about to reach the destination, the sense of loss of control gradually disappeared, and his mood also rose a lot, and he hummed briskly, and the expectation in his heart gradually rose.

Sure enough, after walking forward for about thirty seconds with his eyes closed, Qin Zhao stopped, and Wei Xiao could clearly feel that some relatively faint light appeared in front of him, even with his eyes closed, he could still detect the approximate color.

It should be moon white, but because there are too many at the same time, the light will be brighter and more dazzling than what you usually see.

"Okay, you can open your eyes slowly."

Qin Zhao's voice slowly sounded in his ears, Wei Xiao raised his hand to block his eyes, and then opened his eyes and let himself slowly feel the light in front of him.

But before she could put down her hand, she heard a soft snort from the side: "It's coming." ”

The voice was low and hoarse, as if it had been polished on some frosted paper, and just three words made people feel inexplicably uncomfortable. It seemed that the man's voice had become hoarse to the point that he had not drunk water for several days, and would cough and vomit blood whenever he spoke.

"Hmm." Qin Zhao's attitude was unclear, and he just responded simply and casually.

Wei Xiao put her hand down, and the current situation completely appeared in front of her eyes.

The moon-white light was much brighter than expected, and the entire cave was filled with moon-white light, as if several lights were lit at the same time, and the bright light swept and engulfed every corner with great power.

It's just that the only difference from what you imagined is that this vein is different from the metal mines or coal mines you usually see, it is much smaller here, and the structure is very simple.

Directly in front of it was a wall full of moon-white crystals, and it was easy to see that the excavated place was not large, and the number was not as large as expected.

And in the right-hand corner where they entered, there was a man with a black blanket. Even in such bright light, the man's face could not be seen clearly. The hair should have not been washed for a long time, and it seems to be one with the blanket when it is scattered, and if you don't look at it very carefully, Wei Xiao can't even tell it.

"Newcomer?" The man wrapped in the blanket continued to ask, but the voice was so uncomfortable that it was impossible to discern the mood in which he spoke.

Qin Zhao didn't answer, Wei Xiao hesitated slightly, took the initiative to take over the conversation, and showed an extremely bright smile: "Yes, please advise." ”

"Oh, yes, yes." The man laughed meaninglessly, and he didn't know if he was just here for a shift or for a long time, and he spoke very, very slowly, as if he was jumping out word by word. After listening to it, people feel even more uncomfortable.

Qin Zhao didn't seem to care about the interaction between the two of them at all, and didn't even put a superfluous look and expression in the corner.

Wei Xiao didn't know what the situation was for a while, so he had to continue to remain silent and walk slowly behind Qin Zhao.

The structure here is very simple, and from the path they entered, there is a very large space with weirdos. There were hedrons on several walls, and in the corners were a few tools for planing the walls. Without exception, the edges of all the tools are covered with a layer of moon white, which is exactly the same as the Tang Zhi knife used by Wei Xiao, and it should have been specially forged with spars. However, it is estimated that the tools used to plane the mountain need to be a little harder, and the moon-white light on it is slightly darker, and it is already biased towards blue.

"In the future, if you need a stone, come here and get it yourself." After Qin Zhao took her around for a while, he slowly explained.

"yes, okay." Wei Xiao originally wanted to ask if he could only come at night, but quietly looked at Qin Zhao's expression, but in the end he didn't ask anything.

Before, he just felt that Qin Zhao's attitude towards him seemed to be a little too cold, but now, the other party's expression was really as cold as frost. The contours of his face, which was already a little cold and hard, now look even more cold, making people dare not approach.

The sound of jingling bells suddenly sounded, like thunder, resounding throughout the cave, because the small sound of space was amplified a lot.

The person wrapped in the blanket suddenly made a very ugly whining sound, Wei Xiao subconsciously wanted to look over there, but then he was pushed into the alley by Qin Zhao: "Go out first!" ”

Wei Xiao was pushed by the other party for a few steps in a daze, and only then did he realize that the ringtone just now was his mobile phone ringing, and he hurriedly took it out, and hurriedly turned off the ringtone, and when he looked up again, he found that he had walked out.

After the bell was turned off, it only stopped for a moment, and then it continued to explode wildly, with the three big words "Wei Jianguo" flashing brightly on it.

Wei Xiao nodded helplessly, Wei Jianguo's roar came out immediately, she was just about to say something, but a strange thought suddenly flashed in her mind: it was already summer now, and she didn't feel the slightest coldness in the cave she entered in short sleeves. But the man in the corner was draped in a thick blanket!
