Ten miles outside Starfall City, there is a huge mine, as for whether it is caused by the fall of a meteor as rumored, it is impossible to verify it now.

However, after a long period of mining, not only did it not show signs of depletion, but more new mines were discovered, and Starfall City became more and more prosperous.

Although there is still a certain gap compared with the famous big cities such as "Zhicheng", "Jade City" and other famous cities, and it cannot be compared with the imperial city "Xuandu", it can also be called densely populated, so the trade is endless.

With the continuous mining of iron ore, the soil and rock continue to be transported out, and the area around the pit is gradually filled, making the pit look a lot smaller on the surface, but the depth of the pit is constantly growing, and the holes under the pit are dense and extend in all directions, like a giant honeycomb.

Miners are busy digging in the pit, accompanied by the sound of hammer hammers and continuous shouting, like industrious bees.

In order not to be noticeable, Zuo Ming proposed to choose the two of them to survey the terrain first, and then act together while it was dark.

Although there is no day and night in the mine, with their cultivation, it is not difficult to hide from these ordinary people at night.

What Zuo Ming didn't expect was that everyone unanimously decided that he and Wang Ergou would go to explore the way, on the grounds that the two of them were in line with the temperament of miners.

Zuo Ming had the feeling of lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot, but he looked around and finally agreed to this decision, because he felt that everyone had a point.

"Big brother, why do you always carry this door on your back, is there anything special about it?" Wu Qinglan took the iron door on Zuo Ming's back and asked curiously.

As soon as Wu Qinglan started it, he felt that this iron gate weighed more than a thousand catties, if it weren't for his secret luck, he almost came out of his foreign appearance.

He couldn't help but be a little surprised, because when Zuo Ming usually carried it on his back, it seemed to be as light as nothing, and he never expected it to be so heavy!

Because Zuo Ming and Wang Ergou want to pretend to be miners, Wang Ergou is okay with a hoe, but such a big door does have some rumors and is easy to arouse suspicion.

This question aroused everyone's interest, and although there were various weapons, an iron door was still a little different.

Everyone has long guessed about the door of Mr. "Door", so they are looking forward to the answer to this question.

Zuo Ming naturally won't tell everyone the truth, but he also knows that this problem cannot be perfunctory, because not only the "old man" is in the door, but also the "doppelganger" is inside, and the "doppelganger" is his biggest hole card.

Thinking of this, Zuo Ming sighed lightly: "I was besieged by everyone in the Black Tiger Gang that day, and it was because of this iron gate that I escaped death, and then I told myself to take it with me.

--Not only that, but this iron door is made of hard material, and ordinary swords are difficult to hurt, so I can use it with my hand. ”

"Is this the door to the secret room of the helper's study?" Wang Ergou said thoughtfully.

"That's right, I think it's because it's the door of the secret room that it's so hard, so Brother Qinglan has to help me keep it. Zuo Ming nodded, and then solemnly instructed Wu Qinglan.

Wu Qinglan patted her somewhat weak chest and said with a smile: "Big brother, don't worry, when you come back, you will be completely complete...... Well, I'll hand it over to you as it is. ”

He suddenly saw several big holes in the iron door, so he could only temporarily change his words, which made everyone laugh.

The plan was decided, Zuo Ming and Wang Ergou changed into old clothes and went to the mine.

Entering the pit, seeing that the miners were ruddy and full of energy, and there was no complaint, Zuo Ming breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the possibility of a riot was not high.

What he didn't know was that with the development of Starfall City and the abundance of minerals, the overall treatment of the miners was better, so they were all willing to work hard.

Regarding the entry of Zuo Ming and Wang Ergou, because there were too many people coming in and out every day, the people around them didn't care, so the two of them searched for the location marked by the treasure map.

Because of the intricate terrain of the mine, Zuo Ming originally thought that it would take a lot of effort, but what he didn't expect was that he found his destination very smoothly.

Eventually, it was determined that the location of the treasure map was in a small, abandoned mine that had been excavated several times and had long been determined to be worthless, so there was no one around.

The surprisingly smooth operation made Zuo Ming faintly feel that something was not quite right, but he felt a lot more relieved when he thought of so many masters acting together.

At the same time, Zuo Ming was a little puzzled, because this place didn't look like a treasure at all, so he took Wang Ergou into the mine, intending to explore more information.

The mine is covered with cobwebs, and the rubble and clods are discarded at will, and it is indeed deserted for a long time.

When Zuo Ming was looking around, he saw Wang Ergou pick up the hoe and start digging, so he hurriedly stopped:

"What are you doing? Stop!"

Wang Ergou stopped what he was doing, and his face was full of questions: "Shouldn't you dig up treasures?"

Zuo Ming was a little speechless, so he could only patiently explain: "We're just here to explore the way, if we dig now, will others think that we want to swallow it alone?"

--If we could dig it up casually, we would have found it long ago, and even if we found it, we wouldn't be able to keep it......"

Before he finished speaking, he heard Wang Ergou shouting: "Big brother, look, what is this?"

Zuo Ming hurriedly looked over there, and saw that where Wang Ergou had dug with his hoe, the soil was dark red, which was very different from the surroundings.

In the dark red soil, there was a flash of golden light, Zuo Ming dodged and went closer, and then reached out to pick up the golden object.

That charming color, heavy touch, is actually a piece of gold!

This piece of gold was only the size of his thumb, but Zuo Ming couldn't help but rejoice, because even so, it was the largest precious metal he had ever seen in his two lives combined......

He carefully put it in his hand and slid it into his pocket silently.

"Ergou! What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and dig it!"

"Big brother, didn't you mean ......"

"I think there must be something strange about the inexplicable appearance of a piece of gold here, what do you think?"

"I think ......"

"You think so too, then dig it up!"

“......”

Wang Ergou snorted, turned his back, and waved his hoe as if angry.

However, his good fortune ended here, and he did not dig a few times before he touched the hard stone, and he had to give up.

These stones were dark red, the same as the surrounding soil, although Zuo Ming felt a little strange, but he didn't take it to heart, but he was a little sorry that he didn't dig up more gold.

"Big brother, do you want to dig up other places?" asked Wang Ergou.

Zuo Ming turned around, sighed in a low voice, and said earnestly:

"Ergou! Manly husband, how can you always think about getting something for nothing? You are still young, don't be blinded by money! Look at my eldest brother, I ......."
