Dark clouds gather!

There was a light rain in the sky, and on the small peak where the Baiyun Temple used to be located, several large machines were roaring.

In May, there are already signs of summer in the south, the temperature rises rapidly, and the fine rain spills down from the sky, and it blows like wool, burrowing into the clothes.

Even if you wear a thick raincoat, you can still twist out the water when you stay in it for half a moment.

"Why is it raining so much? It's not the rainy season lately, and June and July haven't arrived yet, so why is there so much? ”

On the tourism development site, a team leader in charge of demolition and reconstruction looked up at the sky with a curse.

Not far from him, another team leader also looked at the continuous rain outside, his face a little ugly.

"It's true that this rain has been a little too long, and we've only been working for a few days, right? It started to go down until now. ”

"Well, let's go, let's go, it's good if it rains a little more, do you feel a lot cooler?" Not far away, the third squad leader seemed to have resigned himself to his fate.

"It seems that this is indeed the case, yesterday I was on the construction site in short sleeves, and I actually felt cold."

"It's outrageous."

It has been ten days since the demolition and reconstruction of Baiyun Temple.

In these ten days, the original Baiyun Temple has completely disappeared, and has been replaced by a huge pothole.

This huge crater sits on top of a mountain and is at least more than 20 meters deep.

And it's not just this one pothole, there are many other potholes in other parts of the mountain, each of which is extremely deep.

The trees on the whole mountain had been almost cut down, and the bare mountains were full of these potholed holes, which looked eerie under the continuous rain and dark clouds, and seemed to be spewing cold.

But no one cared about all this, and the three squad leaders gathered here to direct the actions of many workers while chatting.

"How's that side of your charge?" A squad leader asked, smoking a cigarette.

"Hey, don't say it, it's slow, I don't know what's going on, since it started to rain, I always feel like I can't lift my energy, and the progress of various projects is very slow." A team leader said with some irritation: "And I don't know what's going on recently, there are always people on the construction site who ask for sick leave." ”

"You have that over there?" Hearing this, the team leader was suddenly a little surprised.

"What, you have it too?" The second squad leader looked up in confusion.

"What's more, it's only been a week, and there are already four or five sick days in the team I'm in charge of! Dasha who drives a forklift is a guy with a great body, I haven't seen him sick for so many years, and he actually came to ask me for leave yesterday! ”

"Both of you have leave of absence?" Hearing the words of these two people, the other team leader was also a little surprised: "I thought that only someone in my team asked for leave." ”

"In the past few days, there have been two requests for leave in my engineering team."

Hearing this, the three of them were a little puzzled, but they didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, the recent weather changes are really a bit large, from more than 30 degrees all the way down to more than 10 degrees, and it is inevitable that the body will be a little uncomfortable.

Even they have been feeling uncomfortable lately.

The three squad leaders were discussing here, wanting to continue digging deep foundations as the elegant middle-aged man instructed.

And when the three of them were discussing here, they didn't notice at all that in the cold rain, there were wisps of invisible breath, which gradually spread to their bodies along with their breathing

Lin Laosan, who was on the construction site, felt that his body had been a little heavy recently.

As a man who has worked the construction site all year round, Lin Laosan did not suspect that there was something wrong with his body, but he thought that the temperature difference was too big recently, which caused him to have some colds.

Carrying heavy electric drills and other equipment, Lin Laosan and six or seven workers came to the bottom of the foundation through a rope.

Here, they need to measure a lot of data, dig out irregularities, and drill a few more holes in the ground so that the heavy excavation equipment can pinpoint the excavation site.

Industrial computing, in some places, is not as accurate as manpower.

Coming down the work cableway, Lin Laosan shivered excitedly.

"Hey, it's really cold in here, at least twelve or thirteen degrees, right?"

"Who's to say it isn't?" Wang Lao Er beside him raised his head, looked at the dark clouds at the entrance of the cave above, and tightened his clothes: "It's like following up in the air-conditioned room." ”

There were also workers next to him who wanted to speak, but Zhang Da, who was the leader, frowned and spoke.

"Don't talk about it, let's get to work."

Hearing this, everyone shrugged their shoulders and quickly began to work.

Sophisticated measuring instruments and heavy-duty percussion drills rang out in the underground cavern.

Loud noises and the roar of machinery echoed beneath the foundation, humming endlessly.

Although Lin Laosan and Wang Laoer both graduated from primary school, they have been mixed on the construction site for decades.

The precise measurement techniques and exquisite technical paintings are not comparable to any civil engineering college students.

In this irregular underground of potholes, a rough range is determined, and the depth of reinforcement and cement is estimated and the amount of demand is estimated

The kung fu of this hand, without twenty or thirty years of experience precipitation, cannot be measured at all.

It didn't take long for the foundation survey to be complete.

It seems that seeing that the progress of the work has improved a lot, Zhang Da's expression at the head has also relaxed, and he tightened the coat on his body.

"Do you know, it seems that this place was originally a Taoist temple, and it is quite famous in the southern city, called Baiyun Temple."

"I know, I know." A man who looked to be about thirty years old heard this, and while operating the instrument, he spoke: "It seems that during the demolition, I didn't want to demolish, and our company even called thugs, but it seems that all of them were knocked down by a psychosis in the Taoist temple." ”

"Yes, yes, I've also heard that this psychopath seems to be very vicious, and it directly trampled on the hands and feet of those thugs and gangsters, which is outrageous"

Zhang Da nodded, he had heard of these, but he didn't know if they were true or not.

"However, the old Taoist priest always came to remind us that there are things in the town here a few days ago, could there really be anything, I haven't been sleeping well lately."

"Huh? Do you feel it too? I've also been a little sick lately, and when I sleep, I always feel like something is drilling in my head. Wang Lao Er suddenly spoke.

"Did you go to the hospital for a check-up?" Zhang Da was puzzled.

"I went, but the doctor said it was fine at all, maybe it was just a little cold." Wang Lao Er touched his head and said: "But I've been thinking about it for so many years, and I haven't caught a cold."

Just as a few people were working while discussing.

In the distance, Lin Laosan, who had been working hard and couldn't speak, suddenly collapsed the engineering electric drill in his hand.

As if he had suddenly drilled into something hard, he jumped out of the soil directly, and his mouth hurt for a while.

Squatting down with cracked teeth, Lin Laosan looked at the hole he had dug out suspiciously.

"Huh?"

"What is this?"

"Zhang Da, Wang Lao Er, come and see, what is this?"

With Lin Laosan's shout, everyone walked up curiously.

However, after they looked down the hole that Lin Laosan had opened, they were suddenly a little surprised.

"Huh?"

"It's . What? ”

"Rocks?"

"It's stone, right, but why is it black? Coal, not like it. ”

They opened their mouths in confusion.

Because what appeared in the mouth of the cave was an uneven stone, which was pitch black all over, and the surface was quite flat, with crystal-like protrusions in many places, which looked crystal clear, like a fine gem.

Seeing this, everyone was a little surprised.

What is this stone?

They have been dealing with the earth for half their lives, and they have dug up all kinds of rocks and soils, but they have never seen such crystal clear rocks, which are still black.

"What kind of treasure is it?"

"Obsidian?"

"Your obsidian is so hard? Can it block engineering percussion drills? ”

It is not completely blocked, and the engineering drill can still be drilled into it after a few hits.

"It looks a bit like marble, yes! It's kind of like quartz, but why is it black? ”

"And this hardness is much harder than quartz."

Everyone discussed and became curious.

Could it be that some gems were really dug up?

This is not unheard of in the previous rumors in the engineering industry, but it seems that they have never encountered it!

"Quick!"

"Dig and see!"

Everyone was a little excited, although what they dug up may not necessarily belong to themselves, but there is always a credit in it.

Hearing this, Lin Laosan and a few other people carrying engineering drills suddenly stood up and began to dig around this point with this point as the center.

However, what they didn't expect was that this time their drill bit was hit, and all of them actually drilled out this black quartz!

Zhang Da, who was the leader, was stunned, took Lin Laosan's drill bit, and ran to the distance to suddenly drill violently!

However, to everyone's surprise, this time the drill hit the hard black quartz!

"It's . A whole piece of quartzite! ”

Seeing this scene, everyone's eyes suddenly widened!

What's going on?

Such a large piece of quartzite?

They've never heard of quartz being able to grow into a whole rock!

And how is this quartz black?

The hardness is also wrong, even the engineering impact drill can't be penetrated?

They glanced at each other and did not continue to deal with it, but hurried back to it and reported it to the team leader.

The three team leaders who were smoking on the edge of the construction site were also stunned when they heard this.

After following down, I was immediately stunned by this unknown black stone!

"Good guy, this thing is really not small, what kind of stone is this?!"

They didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly brought the deputy manager of Shu District, who was in charge of the development here.

The elegant middle-aged man came down with a construction site hat, frowned and patted the soil on his body, but when he saw the black stone body underground, his pupils suddenly contracted!

"This is quartz?"

"It's very similar, the composition seems to be quartz, but although the quartz is black, it's not so black, it's almost ink."

Picking up a piece of rock that had been hewn out, the middle-aged man's eyes suddenly lit up.

The old Taoist priest had been saying not to dig deeper, could it be that he knew that there was a treasure buried in the ground?

Hehe, it's outrageous to say that there is something in the town here!

Is there really anyone in this world who believes in so-called demons and monsters?

The middle-aged man didn't know, but he didn't believe it anyway.

If there were really demons and monsters in this world, he would still be alive today.

There was no hesitation at all, and the middle-aged man directly opened his mouth to order!

"Dig it up and see!"

"Yes!"

Hearing this order, the three squad leaders were also excited!

They only opened Zhang Dalin and others, personally found a group of henchmen, carried the engineering drill, and began to work quickly on this black quartz stone.

They even called in large machinery and began to drill holes in this pitch-black quartzite!

But what they didn't expect was that the hardness and thickness of this black quartz were far beyond their imagination.

It took a day and a night, and they only dug a hole of less than half a meter in this heavy pitch-black quartz stone!

Seeing all this, almost everyone was dumbfounded!

What's going on?

This quartz stone is inevitably too hard, isn't there something wrong?

At the same time, they also detected that there was a hollow pit under this huge quartzite!

Hollow potholes!

When I saw this test report, almost everyone's pupils shrank!

What's going on?

Why is there a hollow pothole underneath this?

What's in it?

The curiosity of countless people has been hooked fiercely!

At the same time, they also wondered, what is the origin of these quartz stones, and why are they so hard?

Although Nancheng is not a well-known city in China, it has a good geological university, which is enough to rank among the top in the country, and many professors have a very high majesty in the field of geology and minerals.

In order to ensure that the characteristics of this quartz can be perfectly detected, the middle-aged man deliberately went out and took a piece of quartz stone to find an old professor of geology and mineralogy.

At first, in the face of the news that the middle-aged man was coming to visit him, the old professor didn't pay much attention to it.

However, after the middle-aged man took out a piece of pitch-black quartz gravel and introduced its characteristics, the old professor's eyes suddenly widened!

“？？？？？”

"There is still this kind of quartz stone in the world?!"

He hurriedly got up, took the quartz in the middle-aged man's hand, and after carefully distinguishing it, his pupils suddenly contracted!

"Is it really quartz?!"

"You wait a minute, I'll go and test."

The middle-aged man nodded.

The old professor held the stone and hurried away.

The time for testing is much shorter than the middle-aged man thought.

It was almost just about the time of a cup of tea, and the old professor hurriedly ran back, and said to the middle-aged man with a shocked expression!

"Here, these quartz stones, where did you get them?!"

Looking at the old professor's horror, the middle-aged man did not answer, but asked, "What's the matter, is there anything special about this quartz stone?" ”

"It's not just special!"

"It's incredible!"

The old professor of geology said excitedly: "Do you know? Although this quartz stone looks similar to quartz, the order of molecular atoms composed inside it is almost sixteen times that of ordinary quartz stone! ”

"Sixteen times! I've never seen quartz in this composition! ”

The old professor was pacing back and forth in the office excitedly!

"Although there is no doubt that the appearance and the order of the molecules are quartz, this rock can no longer be called quartz, because its density is too big and too big!"

"The birth of quartz stone is a kind of rock formed by the condensation of tens of millions of years of rock, crustal pressure, and various minerals under geological factors!"

"Different pressures and various crustal activities will have different effects on quartz."

"It's hard for me to imagine what kind of crustal activity and pressure can condense this treasure on the earth!"

The old geology professor shouted excitedly, and his eyes were almost full of excitement!

"This is something that has never been found in the world!"

"In a sense, the research value of this black quartz stone. Perhaps more precious than diamonds and gold! ”

Never found in the world!

Research is perhaps more valuable than diamond gold!

Hearing this, the middle-aged man's eyes suddenly lit up!

Even the quartzite on the outside is so precious and hard, so what is in this cavity wrapped in quartzite?!

No wonder the group of old Taoist priests in the Baiyun Temple did not demolish or die, and were unwilling to dig deeper, and even said that there were things in the town below

I didn't expect that there was such a baby!!

The middle-aged man got up excitedly, declined the old professor's desire to go to the excavation site with him, and then quickly dialed the phone!

"Dig!!"

"Keep digging!!"

"Where to go to the company's headquarters to transfer a few more heavy machinery, you must dig through this black quartz stone!"

"If one day is not enough, it will be a week, and if one week is not enough, it will be a month!"

"I'd like to see what's down there in this quartzite!"

With the middle-aged man's order, several more excavation equipment were suddenly mobilized and began to dig together!

With the help of large excavation equipment, the speed of excavation of these quartz stones is finally faster!

Time passed minute by minute, and with the passage of time, the thick quartzite layer has gradually been opened!

The crazy spinning drill bit continued to dive, constantly bringing out large pieces of black rubble, looking at the more and more obvious response detection, many people who were guarding nearby were a little short of breath!

Soon!

It's almost there!

In a little while, you can dig through!

Heavy rain.

Hundreds of people were immersed in the excitement of digging through the quartzite on the small mountain, and no one noticed that the rain in the sky had become more or less at some point.

It was a hazy light rain, but at some point it turned into a torrential rain.

A light breeze was already blowing all around, and it was gradually turning into a violent wind.

Many of the animals that had gathered near the mountains began to brave the heavy rain and anxiously flee from this place as if they had seen something terrifying.

Even the ants in the field appeared in the pouring rain, gathering into a huge ant ball, protecting the ant king from quickly escaping the chaotic mountains.

And only those who participated in the excavation did not notice all this.

Instead, they seem to be completely intrigued, frantically trying to dig up everything that goes underground.

Gradually, their limbs begin to weaken.

Gradually, their breathing began to rapid.

Their chests tugged at like bellows.

Their hearts were beating unusually wildly, and their eyes were gradually bloodshot.

In the midst of the heavy rain, they gradually descended into chaos.

As the digging deepened, their actions began to become more and more disorganized.

Zhang Da didn't know when he was lying on the ground, pulling the land frantically with both hands, Lin Laosan was carrying an electric drill, drilling wildly on a giant machine, Wang Laoer was digging the black quartz stone with a shovel with all his might, and even the steel shovel had already broken without knowing at all.

The three team leaders drove the excavation machinery and randomly made a big hole near this cave, and even the middle-aged man before was already red-eyed, kneeling on the ground, and pounding the black quartz with his hands.

Rain cats and dogs.

The wind is raging.

Blood and water converge under the earth, and the crystal black quartz reflects the appearance of each person.

One by one, the figures were red-eyed, digging frantically into the ground in the heavy rain, and their brains were in chaos, as if they had completely fallen into chaos.

It's not even just these people on the jobsite.

The smell of nothingness emanated from the top of the mountains, gradually enveloping many surrounding residential areas.

Their expressions gradually began to become manic and impatient.

Countless pet cats and pet dogs who were originally murderous at home showed a cloud of fear in their eyes.

Erha, who had demolished his house without walking for a day, whimpered and squatted in the farthest corner from the mountain.

The naughty cats of the past also ran to their owners' side tremblingly, curled up in fear.

Even the sparrows, who usually chirp, stopped talking at this time, flapping their wings and fleeing from this place frantically.

Cloudy cover.

Rain.

I don't know if it's an illusion or an illusion, a dim and hazy black fog gradually envelops the entire city.

The clouds in the sky seemed to be thicker.

It feels like it's within reach.

The thunder began to shine brightly, sweeping through the small city along with the wind.

At this moment, almost all the creatures who were not spiritually aware of it sensed a terrifying aura that was spreading from the mountains not far away.

Xiao Wu and the weasel, who were originally practicing in retreat, woke up from the retreat almost immediately, and came to the construction site, looking into the distance with ugly faces.

in their eyes.

The world seems to have changed.

The mountain range, which was originally sunny and beautiful, has turned into an extremely magnificent five-color color at some point.

The rich aura of heaven and earth gushed out from under the earth like a fountain, surging out in all directions like the waves of a river, and seemed to dye the entire heaven and earth into pieces of distorted and colorful colors.

And among these patches of color, there are also some faint black mist that cannot be detected.

Like a demon, it gradually began to spread out of the cracks of hell

Looking at the strange mountain range that had completely turned into colorful blocks, the weasel and Xiao Wu shivered at the same time.

"It's . What's wrong? ”

"This group of people"

"What exactly has been excavated?"
