According to Li Shu, under the mine cave in front of him, there is a vein of spirit stone of unknown size hidden. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Hearing this news, Lin Kong was almost surprised, and while secretly scolding Li Shu for being stupid, he was also very worried that he had leaked the news and attracted those ruthless monks.
If that really happens, I'm afraid that it will be more than just a monk, and then Lan Ling Kingdom will definitely suffer a catastrophe.
So Lin Kong ordered that except for Wang Huoli and Ada, no one was allowed to approach the mine for half a step, and those who violated the order would be executed.
Seeing that Lin Kong and a mouse were muttering for a long time, and suddenly gave such an order, Wang Huoli and Ada were very puzzled, and they kept asking as soon as they stepped forward.
"Lord, what are you doing here? If you don't let people get close to the mine, then who will mine for the old man, and where does the refined iron come from? Wang Huoli asked.
"Master Wang, don't worry, after you go down to the mine with me to investigate, you will understand, let's go!" Lin Kong didn't answer Wang Huoli's question, motioned for Ada to keep an eye on Li Shu, and strode towards the mine.
Li Shu also seemed to be worried that after going down the mine, he would be plotted by Lin Kong and others, and before leaving, he squeaked at the rats a few times, and then took a step on its thick hind legs and jumped into the mine.
To be honest, if Ada and Wang Huoli hadn't seen Li Shu a long time ago and knew that this mouse the size of a cat was not idle, they would definitely be waiting for an opportunity to kill it.
After two years of continuous mining, the stone wall in front of it has long been covered with caves, some straight into the mountain, some inclined down, and some go directly into the ground like wells.
Under the leadership of Li Shu, Lin Kong and the others walked into the largest mine, which is also a mine that Lin Kong is very familiar with, because when he first excavated refined iron ore, he also dug two hoes to show his attention to refined iron ore.
The mine is one and a half high, about one zhang wide, barely enough for two minecarts to pass through, and the vault and the mine wall are covered with logs to prevent a landslide accident, which seems to be very safe.
At first, the cave stretched straight into the mountain, half a mile away, and after walking this straight tunnel, the rock structure in front of it changed, and the iron concentrate gradually became scarce.
So the miners dug a mine directly down, and when the iron ore was found again, they made a roundabout way out of the mine, linking the two ore roads into an inverted U-shape.
However, after entering the second tunnel, they did not go far, and the iron ore deposits became scarce again, so the miners opened several more forks, but did not find rich iron concentrate, and finally abandoned the mine.
Li Shu led Lin Kong to a fork in the road on the left, raised his paw and pointed at one of the deep cracks, and said, "This is it, but this crack is narrow and deep, with your size and eyesight, I'm afraid you can't see the situation inside." ”
"Hehe...... Li Shu laughed wickedly: "Lin Kong, this king has already taken you to the ground, take a closer look, as for how to get the spirit stone, then I don't care, remember...... Before winter, transport the grain to the foot of Yijian Peak and say goodbye! ”
After speaking, Li Shu straightened up, stood up with a round belly like a human, and swaggered away, seeing Ada and Wang Huoli stunned for a moment.
"I'll go, this guy is almost finished, look at his virtuous ......" Wang Huoli looked at Li Shu walking straight out of the mine, with an indescribable annoyance, and he couldn't accept the fact that the mouse was walking upright.
Lin Kong didn't pay attention to this, and walked towards the crack with the oil lamp, only to see that the crack could only reach into one arm, and the light could not reach the end at all.
Until now, Wang Huoli and Ada didn't know why Lin Kong asked them to go down to the mine with them. [because they don't understand the language of rats]
Seeing Lin Kong glancing at a crack in the stone, Wang Huoli hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Lord, what are the rats doing here with us?" There's a lot of stuff out there waiting for us to deal with! ”
"Li Shu told me that there was a vein of spirit stone here, and in exchange for two thousand quintals of fine grain." Since he couldn't let Wang Huoli and Ada see the spirit stone ore vein with their own eyes, Lin Kong had no choice but to tell the truth, and took out the piece of spirit stone ore that Li Shusai gave him, and let the two take turns to look at it.
Ada didn't have any concept of the spirit stone at all, so he glanced at it and handed it to Wang Huoli.
Wang Huoli took it and observed it carefully for a while, and the whole person was suddenly shocked, and he took the oil lamp and looked into the stone crevice, but the stone crevice was narrow and deep, and he could see it clearly.
"Lord, are you sure there is a vein of spirit stone in it?" Wang Huoli asked in surprise.
"Hmmm! There is indeed one, but with my current divine cultivation, I can only see a section of ore veins two or three zhang long. ”
"Two or three? Oh my! Not to mention 2,000 quintals of fine grain, even 20,000 quintals are worth it! Wang Huoli also seemed to know the value of the spirit stone, and he was so surprised that he trembled a little when he spoke.
However, he soon thought of the monk, and his heart rose with the same worries as Lin Kong, and immediately discussed with Lin Kong about the mining procedures, as well as the confidentiality measures, etc.
After discussing with the two, it was finally decided to divide the miners into two shifts, one for the original miners, and the other for the guards to disguise themselves and secretly mine the spirit ore.
As for the selection of the guards, Ada himself will complete it, and in addition, an elite army must be sent to hide in the green bamboo forest in case of accidents.
The measures proposed by Wang Huoli are almost the same as Lin Kong's imagination, except that the army is secretly stationed in a bit of a way, and it can be said that the entire mine workers are under house arrest.
Although this is a bit cruel, and it is likely that there will be some misunderstandings because of this, Lin Kong did not object, because the spirit stone vein is too important, and Lin Kong will never allow anyone to leak the slightest rumor.
After arranging everything, Lin Kong probed the stone crevice with his divine sense, estimating that it would take several months just to mine the tunnel, so he prepared to go to the Sacrifice Village as soon as Ada arranged the manpower.
Sacrifice to the Soul Village.
After more than ten years of wind and frost and rain, the high wall outside the manor has faded its original color, leaving traces of time.
And the owner Xu Fu also has gray temples and looks much older.
Since the day of the Lanling Civil War, the clan surnamed Xu has sunset Sun Shan, the rebellion of the ministers of the DPRK and the central government, the demotion of the degraded, and the beheading of the beheaded...... Basically, it was cleaned up by Lanling.
Affected by it, the Sacrifice Spirit Village is not as domineering as it was back then, and it seems to be much more sluggish.
But as the saying goes! The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, although it is affected by the clan, and the sacrifice spirit village is somewhat implicated, but the financial resources and popularity still make ordinary people look up.
Xu Fu half lay on a chair made of golden silk nanmu, looking up at a big locust tree in the yard, enjoying the warm morning light of autumn, and his thoughts fluctuated.
This big locust tree has been planted since he came to the Sacrifice Village, and it is almost as old as him, and it also records the ups and downs of their Xu family over the past few decades.
Seeing it, Xu Fu first remembered his eldest son Xu Zhennan, who had been missing for many years, and then remembered this son who was spoiled by himself - Xu Zhenbei. Then I remembered the house slaves who had been tied to this big tree......
"The old man is guilty!" Looking at it, Xu Fu's wrinkled eyes actually shed tears of repentance!
"Sir...... Master, a happy event, a great happy event! ”
"Happy event?"
Seeing Lu Er running into the manor from a distance, Xu Fu hurriedly raised his sleeves to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, pulled an old face and said angrily: "Hmph! Wedding? Wouldn't it be that rebel son who fell in love with which girl and forced others to be concubines, right? ”
"This unfortunate thing, I don't look at what kind of world it is now, I thought it was more than ten years ago!" Speaking of this, Xu Fu couldn't help but sigh again: "Alas! Forget it, forget it! It's all my fault for being a father's lack of discipline, so let him go. ”
"Sir! This time, it's not that the second young master wants to take a concubine, it's Lin Kong who wants to come to our Lingzhuang. ”
"Lin Kong? Is it to lead the Wolf Howling Army, defeat the Kurosaki Army, and seal Lanling Ping as the king of Lanling. Xu Fu was a little shocked.
He asked someone to give gifts to Shi Wu in Gu Fengcheng more than once, hoping to be able to have a relationship with the imperial court again, but he was rejected by Shi Wu, so he frowned all day long, for fear that one day Xu Zhenbei would cause some big trouble, and he had no official one and could not keep the bloodline of the Xu family.
As soon as he heard that the most powerful character in Lan Lingguo was coming to sacrifice to Lingzhuang, Xu Fu was simply overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered the housekeeper Lu Er to find Xu Zhenbei back, and let the whole village take care of it carefully, ready to welcome Lin Kong.
