Chapter 93: Discovering the Secret
So as long as they wait here, it won't be long before those people dig here.
Then, they can get out of the hole that those people have dug.
The more Xiao Niannian thought about it, the happier he became, and finally he didn't have to stay here for ten years.
"Yunzhi pot, we won't be able to go out soon!"
She told Xie Yunzhi the good news, and Xie Yunzhi was also a little excited after hearing it.
Xiao Niannian stood by the wall and beckoned to Xie Yunzhi.
"Yunzhi Pot, come over and put your ears on the wall, maybe you can hear these mining sounds too."
Xie Yunzhi walked over slowly, took a deep breath, and then pressed his ear to the cold and smooth wall.
Then, he really heard a dull "clanging" sound coming from deep within the walls.
It wasn't loud, but it was loud enough for him to hear clearly.
Both of them looked a little excited.
They found a clean place to sit on the floor, intending to wait quietly for the men to dig in.
Xiao Niannian glanced in the direction of the scar man.
After thinking about it, I still didn't tie him up.
Sooner or later, those miners will dig up, and it doesn't make sense if the scar man is tied up or not.
What's more, Scar Man is still injured, if they tie him up.
Let the miners outside see it, and think they smashed the scar man.
The waiting time was extremely difficult.
The two of them waited on the floor for a long time, and finally heard those "clanging" sounds gradually approaching.
From these voices, it can be heard that there should be a lot of people who mine.
Xiao Niannian stood up excitedly and walked to the wall.
Soon, they will be able to get out.
I don't know how those miners would react when they pry open this place and suddenly see two children inside.
You're going to be scared, right?
Xiao Niannian thought about it, and she was happy first.
Wrong!
After calming down, she suddenly thought of a very serious problem.
This is still the boundary of Taoli Village, but she never remembers any mines in Taoli Village.
Mining is such a big thing, as long as there is one person in Taoli Village who knows, it will definitely be known to everyone in the end.
But Xiao Niannian has been in Taoli Village for a year and has never heard of anything related to mining.
Then there's only one possibility.
That's these people, digging for black mines.
Whether in modern or ancient times, mines are public resources and cannot be mined privately.
It's illegal to dig black mines, if you find out that the two of them are here.
Isn't that to kill people?
Xiao Niannian suddenly felt a little cold in his neck.
More importantly, she remembered what she had heard the miners talk about.
And before she fell, she had also heard the group of bad guys looking for them shouting something to go to the lord to save people.
So......
Xiao Niannian was shocked, and finally reacted.
These miners are in the same league as this scar man!
She didn't have time to think about it, so she directly pulled Xie Yunzhi and wanted to hide.
The whole cave was empty, and there was nowhere else to hide except under the altar.
"What's wrong?"
Although Xie Yunzhi was puzzled, he did not hesitate, and ran to the secret room under the altar with Xiao Niannian.
Xiao Niannian stood at the door of the secret room for a long time, and finally closed the circular mechanism.
And the two machine-cracking stones are also here.
In other words, no one but them can open the mechanism.
Hey?
Wait a minute......
How can they get out if no one opens it?
Forget it, let's get through this level safely first.
These people only mine at night, presumably just to hide from people's eyes and ears.
So they just have to wait until dawn to sneak out while no one is there.
At this time, Xiao Niannian finally figured out what the path in the deep mountains was for.
That trail must have been used to transport ore.
She remembered that she had seen some black-gray stones on the trail.
She didn't think much of it at the time, but now she thinks that it should be the fine crushed ore that fell during transportation.
The secret of this mountain was finally figured out by her.
Mining ore is an extremely laborious task, and ordinary people certainly don't have the ability to do so.
Mining is not the hardest, the hardest is transportation.
The difficulty of transporting such a large amount of ore out without people knowing it can be imagined.
It seems that the lord in these mouths is really a man with hands and eyes.
The drought in Taoli Village must have been caused by these people's mining.
The veins of a mountain are equivalent to a person's spirit, and without a person's spirit, he will become a walking corpse.
The mountain is no better without the veins, and the mountain aura will slowly dissipate.
This is why the fat relics have been sealed for more than 3,000 years, but now the seal is invalid.
After the seal failed, the arid nature of the fertilizer was gradually revealed.
Start underground and slowly evaporate the water.
This is why Taoli Village has been in drought for so long.
It seems that these people have been mining for more than a year.
However, the remnants of the fertilizer have been wiped out, and the effects of the drought will gradually disappear.
In the future, Taoli Village will gradually return to normal and become a good place to live in the past.
With a "boom", the rock wall of the cave was finally chiseled open.
After a puff of dust and smoke, the miners in the mine tunnel walked into the cave with an incredible mood.
"Oh my God, what is this place? I'm not hallucinating, am I? ”
Someone curiously reached out to touch the flame on the lantern, but was so hot that he gasped.
He excitedly pointed to the lantern with an excited expression.
"It's true! I'm not dreaming, it's all real! ”
But no one around him paid attention to him, and everyone was immersed in shock.
After a long time, someone sighed: "You say, could this be the place where the gods live?" We're not going to dig up the abode of the gods, are we? ”
Some people don't think so.
"What nonsense, which immortal did you see living underground?"
"And you see, this place looks like a place to live, and there is not even a table."
"Yes." The crowd was once again lost in thought.
"That's right!" Someone excitedly said, "You say, will we dig up the ancient tomb?" ”
"It is said that some Huangling tombs were built very large, and I heard that there are also many lamps in the Huangling, what is called the everlasting lamp, and it will not be extinguished for thousands of years."
"That's not the point!" The man looked mysterious, and continued.
"The point is that in the Huangling tomb, there are countless gold and silver treasures!"
When it comes to gold and silver treasures, there is greed on everyone's faces.
Most of them were refugees who had fled the famine, and were picked up here when they were about to starve to death on the way to escape.
Others were bandits who had been subdued from other hills, and even death row prisoners who had escaped from prison.
These people are mixed, but they all have one thing in common, that is, poverty.
But as long as they have some other way out, they don't want to work hard here.
Not to mention the few wages a month, the last time the mine collapsed, many people were crushed to death.
When those people were dug up, they were crushed.
At that time, some people were so frightened that they wanted to quit, but in the end they stayed.
Because they don't have much money on them, they can't live anywhere.
Rather than starve to death outside, it's better to get by here.
So when they heard that there was probably an untold amount of gold and silver treasure here, it was hard not to be moved.
Someone immediately suggested: "Then let's take advantage of the foreman's absence and look here to see if there is anything valuable, right?" ”
"Good!"
Everyone agreed, and many people had already scattered to find the existence of the tomb in the cave.
The altar that is a little higher is very eye-catching, and many people pay attention to it.
They were about to walk to the altar when they were suddenly drawn to a scream.
"Why is the Boss here? Come and see! I found out the boss! ”
