Chapter 12: Relics of Imperial Civilization

A red gold vein that has been abandoned for more than 1,000 years, after experiencing natural changes, such as earthquakes and other vein evolution, although it does not collapse, there will inevitably be some places where the passage will be blocked.

The little hope that was born soon became depressed because of the message brought by a miner's lamp.

Nie Lin took a while to study the miner's lamp more than a thousand years ago, Nie Lin felt more and more magical, the miner's lamp was like a funnel, there was no trace of lamp oil in it, and there was no wick, in the center of the funnel, there was only one groove, and the mysterious power that Nie Lin felt at the moment he touched it before was generated at the moment he touched the miner's lamp.

When I lifted the miner's lamp, I found that it weighed at least dozens of catties, which was indeed not light.

Gu Menghan didn't see any clues when he saw Nie Lin, he walked half deep in the passage, and said, "There is also a mining lamp here!"

Hearing this, Nie Lin put down the miner's lamp and walked over, only to see that the miner's lamp was not as complete as the one he touched, and had cracked through the middle.

"Look further!"

Gu Menghan also felt curious, there was still some time to burn with the torch, so he and Nie Lin continued to walk forward, and there was still a destroyed miner's lamp.

Nie Lin thought about it, ran to the place where he came in, took the complete miner's lamp in his hand, and continued to go deeper into the passage, when they walked in the passage for nearly half an hour, Gu Menghan finally found something new.

"What is this?"

She picked up an oval-shaped stone the size of a baby's palm, which had cracked marks, under the rubble foam next to the broken miner's lamp on one side of the ground.

The stone was crystal clear, like jade not jade, a very magical and strange thing.

Nie Lin stepped forward, took a look, and was immediately attracted by the stone, the oval shape, which seemed to match the grooves on the miner's lamp.

So he asked for the stone, and after Nie Lin embedded the stone in the groove, he saw no reaction.

Gu Menghan was meticulous and said, "You turn that stone in a different direction and take a look?"

When Nie Lin heard this, he tried it and turned the stone down.

But to his surprise, he was able to turn, and then after hearing the 'click', he saw that the stone suddenly lit up, and the incandescent light was very dazzling, illuminating the surroundings as if it were day.

Moreover, when the stone lit up, Nie Lin clearly felt that above the miner's lamp, there was the energy that he had felt before circulating, such a magical and advanced thing.

With the light of the miner's lamp, the light of the torch suddenly eclipsed, Gu Menghan extinguished the torch, did not throw it away, put it away first, and the two continued to explore in the passage.

After walking half a section further, there was a fork in the road leading to two directions, Nie Lin used some gravel to make a pattern at the two forks as a marker, and chose the one on the left to continue deeper.

It's just that the two of them went in and walked a stick of incense, and they were obviously blocked in front of them and had no way, so they had to withdraw and enter the passage on the right.

On the other side of the passage, although there were traces of collapse, the rubble fell down, and it did not completely block the passage, and it barely passed.

After it passed, there were a lot of dry bones of people in front of me, and at a glance, it was shocking and a little scary, and the hole was littered with messy things, and several minecarts were also parked here, and there were half truckloads of red gold ore in them.

Gu Menghan was not afraid of those dry bones, picked up a few things inside, and picked a few oval stones that could shine for backup, and when they wanted to go further, they were still blocked.

"No wonder so many people are flocking here, and they are all dying here, it seems that this passage should be the exit, but it is blocked!" Nie Lin sighed.

"Have you noticed that if these people were miners, they should have carried a mining pickaxe instead of a sword, and silver silk soft armor, you look at the patterns and words on these swords, what do they mean?"

For Gu Menghan's optimism, Nie Lin was both a little relieved and surprised, she didn't seem to have thought about what the consequences would be if she couldn't get out, she seemed to be very calm and calm, and she was a little curious to explore and dig here.

But after thinking about it, Nie Lin was secretly ashamed in his heart, he was still not calm enough, maybe he could find some clues from those clues.

So he walked over with the miner's lamp, picked up a sword and looked at it, then fell into contemplation, and said: "The symbols on these swords, the same as those on the miner's lamp, are owned by the Weiyang Empire, and engraved on the saber, which is a symbol of status, from the quality of these swords, they are all forged with good materials, that should be a high-level guard to be qualified to wear, and exclusive, according to the hierarchical imperial system at that time, the guards can bring this exclusive saber, and can wear silver silk soft armor, only the royal guards......"

As he was talking, suddenly the miner's lamp that Nie Lin was carrying made a crisp 'click' sound, and then fell off from the groove, and the surroundings suddenly fell into darkness.

Fortunately, Gu Menghan found a few spare, and then took another one to inlay on the miner's lamp, and the light around it returned to light.

The two looked at each other, so they had to go back the same way and explore the passage to the east.

Returning to the section of the passage again, Nie Lin proposed, "Let's take a rest first, if the exit of this abandoned mine is blocked, we can only continue to climb up to see if there is any other way out!"

Gu Menghan just nodded, and sat on the side with his legs crossed, looking very quiet.

Nie Lin took out some of the remaining dry food in her bag and handed her some, she shook her head: "I can't eat it, let's eat it when I'm hungry!" Obviously, she knew that if she was really trapped here, food was very important, and she could save some.

Nie Lin actually didn't have much appetite to eat, so he put away the dry food, and saw that Gu Menghan was calm, but he seemed to have something on his mind, so he sat beside her and asked, "What are you thinking?"

Gu Menghan was silent for a moment before he said lightly: "I was thinking, this vein has been abandoned for more than a thousand years, but the environment here doesn't seem to be affected much except for the two blocked passages, but the gap here, I always feel that it is not formed by natural changes, and my illusion is that this gap should be caused by man!"

Nie Lin was slightly moved, and said, "Is it the strength of a sword to split the mountain and break the mountain?"

With his understanding of the strength of the Sword Venerable, even the most powerful sword would definitely not cause such a terrifying destructive power, and if he wanted to split the hard mountain wall and make the gap smooth and neat, this was unless it was an absolute power, Nie Lin asked himself, even if he reached the strength of the Sword Venerable, he would not be able to do it.

Could it be that the strength of those sages is so strong?

After thinking of this, Nie Lin couldn't help but recall the exercises left in those ancient ruins, no matter which one is a miracle for today's people, if it is said in this way, then the miracle left over from ancient times may seem too cheap.

At this time, Gu Menghan suddenly raised his head, looked at Nie Lin and said: "We are like frogs at the bottom of the well, I originally thought that I was so stupid, and resurrecting my brother was purely a fantasy, but the tip of the iceberg revealed in this thousand-year-old vein told me that in that magical era, there must be a miracle of resurrection."

Nie Lin looked at Gu Menghan's somewhat abnormal expression, and was about to speak, but saw that she was holding a small brocade handkerchief in her hand and handed it over: "Look at this, I picked it up in that pile of bones!"
