Chapter 218: Chalcedony Demon Grass
Intimidated by the ferocity of the demon moon Sakurako, the three bald men quickly confessed.
This kid came to this abandoned jade pit this time, the purpose was indeed to find a piece of jade rough that he had hidden here before, but this piece of jade was not an ordinary jadeite!
The whole rough stone is only the size of an adult's fist, and it was inadvertently dug out when the three bald men took people to dig jade two months ago. At that time, the rough stone bone rolled down to his feet, and he didn't pay much attention to it, and threw it aside. As a result, when he got off work, more than a dozen of his workers left, and when he was packing up his tools, he inadvertently scratched a layer of jade skin on this rough stone, and found a bright lilac color in the open skylight, which almost stunned him.
Seeing that there was no one left and right, he immediately took out this piece of jadeite rough that was worth a lot of money at a glance, and then secretly polished it as soon as he had time for a few days, and it took half a month to peel off the layer of jade skin outside the fist-sized rough stone, and finally got an orange-like and purple glass jadeite.
The only fly in the ointment is that this orange-sized purple glass species is like amber, wrapped in a small black dot the size of a grain of rice, which looks like the seed of some kind of plant.
A perfect purple glass species has formed a flaw because of this small dot contained in it, and the three bald men are very annoyed, but even if there is such a flaw, with the purity of this glass species, it can be sold for a good price.
Considering that it was not safe to carry with him, the three bald men pondered for several days before they chose the abandoned jade pit at the moment, and hid the purple jade in the pile of rocks in the depths of the tunnel, planning to quietly bring it out of the mine again when they had the opportunity to do so in the future.
Since then, he has been running to the abandoned jade pit almost every once in a while, and the first few times he has been fine, he will play with the jade at most, and then hide it back in the rubble, and leave cautiously.
But for the last time, there was a sudden accident!
The jadeite that he had shaved out was obviously smaller, and in addition, the black seed that was originally wrapped in the jadeite actually stretched out its rhizome in the jadeite, and two small green leaves like bean sprouts passed through the jadeite and drilled out of it.
Such a scene stunned the three bald men at that time.
Beans sprout in the jade? It's a joke, isn't it? This isn't some kind of soft and fertile black soil!
Dumbfounded, the three bald men were completely confused, and hurriedly put the jade that had grown small sprouts back to the place, and hurriedly returned to the jade mine living area.
As a result, after going to bed that night, he fell unconscious, and when he woke up again, he was already in a hospital bed.
It was precisely because he was still thinking about the strange piece of jade and jade in his heart that he volunteered to jump out after learning that Zhou Xiaoya and his party were going to come to Xiujue Mine.
Originally, he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to take the jade out, but he didn't want to search the entire jade pit, but he didn't dig three feet into the ground, but he didn't even find a jade hair.
Under the fire in his heart, this is what he roared like thunder before!
After some narration, Zhou Xiaoya's eyes rolled when he heard it.
Do you dare to talk a little more nonsense?
However, looking at the current situation of the three bald people, it really doesn't seem like nonsense. Besides, even if you really want to make up a story, you have to make it up at least a little more credible, right?
Although it really sounds a bit like a pool of the Arabian Nights, intuitively, Zhou Xiaoya felt that the three bald men didn't lie this time, and the things about the jade and seeds were eighty percent true!
As soon as he thought of this, his face immediately became strange, and he just wanted to say something, but Zhao Ling'er, who was also in a deep groan when he heard the words, had already opened his mouth first, and muttered to himself: "Could it be ...... Could it be the legendary chalcedony demon grass?"
"Chalcedony Demon Grass?
His eyes lit up, and Zhou Xiaoya asked with great interest.
"It's a kind of spiritual grass that grows by sucking chalcedony essence as nutrients!"
Nodding, Zhao Ling'er continued: "This kind of spirit grass is extremely rare, and only occasionally one can be seen in the mountains where a large number of beautiful jade are produced, and I also heard grandma talk about it unintentionally...... However, although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, listening to what he just said, there should be no doubt that this spirit grass is this. ”
Hearing Zhao Ling'er's words, Zhou Xiaoya immediately believed most of it.
Although the matter of growing seeds in jade sounds ridiculous, it is not completely impossible to think about it, Puyu is a spiritual creature conceived by heaven and earth, and occasionally a piece of jade has a mutation, and a small seed comes out inexplicably, which is really not unusual.
If all the previous reasoning is true, then the palm-sized purple pony with leaves on its head that came out of the dream of the three bald men is most likely the seed that has been transformed when it grows up.
That's a bit of a mystery!
It's almost the same as the Shiba in myths and legends.
Plants are plants after all, even the old ginseng that Zhou Xiaoya used to refine the "Lingshen Dan" before, let alone five hundred years old, although it has grown arms and legs or something, it is just a shape, and people can't really "come to life", just run away!
Unless this so-called chalcedony demon grass is a strange creature similar to "Cordyceps", the current situation can be explained.
Cordyceps and summer insects are a kind of precious medicinal materials, in winter, it is a small insect, and in summer, it is like a zombie, and it is stored as a plant.
Could it be that this chalcedony demon grass is also this kind of strange creature? one moment it takes root on the jade and becomes a plant, and the next moment it transforms into a purple pony the size of a palm, with two verdant green leaves on its head, galloping throughout the jade mining area?
Such a picture suddenly appeared in his mind, and Zhou Xiaoya's face became more and more strange.
If that's the case, this guy isn't just an ordinary slippery, and if you want to catch it and find out the true origin of sucking the essence of the jade diggers, I'm afraid it's not so easy.
Zhou Xiaoya, who was depressed and a little unwilling, immediately asked everyone to scatter and search, to see if they could find the purple pony in the vicinity of this abandoned jade pit.
As for the three bald men, after making sure that this guy was not hiding anything, Zhou Xiaoya warned him a few words and scolded him to leave first.
After looking for a while, let alone a purple horse, I didn't even find a single purple hair.
Everyone gathered back together, you look at me, I look at you, staring at each other, all a little dumbfounded for a while.
Although it can be determined that that guy will not leave this jade mountain, after all, according to what Zhao Ling'er inferred just now, the chalcedony demon grass needs to rely on the essence of chalcedony as nutrients to grow, but there are several mountains in the Xiujue jade mine on this side of the river alone, not to mention the Xiu Ling on the other side of the river.
With just a few people, they want to start a carpet-like mountain search operation, which is a joke!
Let's go back and call people, let's not care about so many strange things happening in the mine, how many people in the Sun family dare to step into the mine area, just the "origin" of the mountain search operation is enough for people to have a headache.
There's no way to explain this!
"It's really not good, let's ask Xiaobai for help?"
After a long silence, Zhou Xiaoya lowered his voice and turned his head to follow Zhao Ling'er's opinion.
Although with his current level of Taoism, he can bring a dozen spirit apes to the real world at most, but there is really a shortage of manpower at the moment, so it's a big deal to work hard and run back and forth a few more times.
With the agility of those red-tailed spirit apes, I believe that as long as the specific whereabouts of the little purple horse can be discovered, it can be captured immediately with a net.
However, in order to prevent Xiaobai from leaking out the news of the spirit ape, before doing so, it was necessary to clear the scene.
"I think it can!"
Zhao Ling'er nodded vigorously.
Seeing that Zhao Ling'er agreed, Zhou Xiaoya immediately led a few people back to the living area at the east end of the mine, and there was not too much nonsense at all, and directly put forward a request to let everyone leave the mine.
Although the dozen or so Sun family nurses were a little reluctant, they finally left because of the family head token held by Zhou Xiaoya.
In this regard, You Gang, Yin Feng, Sun Yuting, and Liang Yan, the head nurse, as well as Zou Mazi and several drivers, who stayed in the compound to rest, were obviously a little confused, and did not understand the significance of Zhou Xiaoya's actions.
However, although several people were suspicious, they did not open their mouths to ask.
In fact, even if he asked, it was a vain question, about the bronze USB flash drive, except for the puppet You Feng, the bear child Chen Runtu and a few other guys who can be completely assured, Zhou Xiaoya obviously didn't plan to let too many people know this secret.
Even You Gang and Yin Feng, who have been close recently, are the same.
After all the Sun family guards and the three bald men left, and it was determined that there were no other idle people in these mountains, Zhou Xiaoya mysteriously entered a certain room in the living area alone, and closed the door with a "bang".
Seeing his thief's eyebrows and thief's eyes, Han Yiyi and the others in the courtyard looked at each other, all of them had a strange face, and the curiosity in their hearts was naturally faintly hooked, if it wasn't for being pulled by the head nurse Liang Yan, Sun Yuting's girl shrunk her neck, and almost slipped over to the window to peek.
This time, Zhou Xiaoya went back and forth, connected to the bronze USB flash drive and entered the Demon Ape Island five times, each time he brought back ten red-tailed spirit apes, half an hour later, when he appeared in the room with a bare ass for the last time, there were already spirit apes around him, and they were either holding flying machines or long guns and short guns in their hands, and Zhou Xiaoya rolled his eyes when he saw it.
Embarrassed and hurriedly put on his clothes, Zhou Xiaoya pushed open the back window of the house and said a few words to the monkey king Xiaobai, who understood, squeaked a few times, and led the monkeys to jump out of the window immediately......
