Yue Guanchao whistled and threw a smug look at Song Siyuan!

The three of them carried all four lynx into the valley and arranged them in neat rows, and I have to say that the fur of these beasts was good, thick and dense, shiny and plush, better than the fur of the fine mink bear.

Yue Guanchao looked at the lynx, pinched his chin and said, "Otherwise, let's peel off the lynx skin, such a big lynx can make two or three pieces of clothing, just for the second uncle and the second cannon to put on a whole wool coat, and the beast's hairy thief will give a warm call." ”

Song Siyuan nodded: "It's okay, let's peel the skin as soon as possible, once the beast dies, their hair will be destroyed if they are not peeled off in time, I don't see that there are many people around, probably there will be no danger." ”

The three of them made up their minds to have this fur, Yue Guanchao took out a dagger, peeled off the fur from the lynx's head, and peeled off all the skins of the four lynxes after dividing them by two, leaving only the red skeleton to fall on the river beach, dyeing the surrounding stream like red oil.

He struck while the iron was hot, sucked the blood from the fur with the water of the stream, and found a stone on the spot, and hung it on the spot with the skin and flesh facing up.

"Let's go, when we're done checking here, the furs are dry, just in time to take them."

Without the threat of the lynx, the three of them walked a little easier, and as they crossed the narrowest river valley, their eyes suddenly opened up, and the left and right sides were as wide as one hundred and ten meters, and the stream was so vast that it was no different from a wide river.

They looked ahead, and they could see that the two rivers were flowing separately, and the torrent was rushing into the direction they were coming from, and at the confluence of the two watershed rivers, the towering wild mountains blocked the way, like the majestic and majestic warriors guarding the river!

This mountain wall is specially chiseled out of the plane, there are obscure ancient inscriptions carved on it, as if encountering the mysterious inscription that records the mythological story, under the stone wall, there is an arch hole remaining on the riverbank, it is very gloomy under the cover of ice and snow, the hot spring river water continues to flow out, it can be seen that the gold sand is washed out, and then patted on both sides of the riverbank.

After years of erosion, the two sides of the river bank show a unique golden vein pattern, shining in the river valley.

Song Siyuan observed carefully, the mountain wall has been around for many years, and it has already been eroded by the wind and snow, and she muttered in her mouth: "The water of the Guanyin River produces golden sand, and it cannot be found unless you enter the secret valley. ”

"What does that mean?" Yue Guanchao picked up the muzzle of the gun and aimed it at the arch hole, so as not to have any more beasts.

Song Siyuan put down the binoculars and explained the origin of the stone wall inscription to Yue Guanchao: "Didn't I say earlier, this golden sand stream and canyon cannot be formed in two or three hundred years, and this should be the gold mine of the former dynasty government." ”

She paused, then went on to explain:

"I remember that Yu Bo said that after the previous dynasty entered the customs, in order to send the resources of the northeast into the capital, most of them would set up official yamen in various places, which were uniformly dispatched and managed by the internal affairs government, and these yamen were mainly responsible for collecting Dongzhu, snow clams, ginseng, Diao mink skins and other things for the royal family, and the yamen that collected gold was called Jin Xuan, and the chief official was responsible for smelting and mining gold."

"You can't understand the inscription on this, probably because this is a variant of the flag, if the gold mine appears in the flag, it means that this gold mine does not belong to the government, it is very likely to be the royal family's gold mining private mine, looking at the dilapidated stone wall, it should be an abandoned gold mine in the previous dynasty."

They did not stop when they spoke, and waded through the stream to the side of the cave, and before they had even stepped into the cave, they saw the wild cats crying and whimpering, and I wondered if she had heard the difference, but always felt that these meows were very similar to the cries of babies.

With a click, the flashlight turned on, and the pillar of light illuminated the arch.

After they walked into the arch cave and looked up at the whole picture of the cave, it can be said that the whole wild mountain has been hollowed out and smashed clean, and there is no problem to accommodate dozens of meters of high-rise buildings and huge ships, after the huge arch cave is thrown into the bright sunlight, you can clearly see countless large and small beams, they are nested and supported on the top of the mine, and even the stone pillars are also pasted with talismans, in order to suppress the evil in the house.

The dark river in the distance flows from the depths of the cave, wide and not deep, turbulent and clear, and the decaying wooden pile water bridge is built on both sides of the underground river, and you can see the square caverns neatly arranged on both sides of the riverbank.

Most of these caves are of the same shape, with the mountain as the wall, the stone cave is dug inward, the width is two or three meters high, the lintel is built out of the hollow and inserted into the eaves of the bird's wings, and at the same time, a beam frame is built in front of the eaves, extending out of the cave for several meters, so as to prevent falling stones from hitting people.

Yue Guanchao took the two of them to wade across the underground river, and went ashore along the pontoon bridge on the water surface, where the sand and soil were piled up, the gravel was dense, and the rut wheel prints were clearly visible.

According to the wooden plaque in front of the cave, the functional division of the cave is different, what sand washing room, grinding room, incineration room, smelting room, storage room, preparation room, gold brick room, kitchen room, stove room...... Most of them are laid out in columns, which can be described as classified and complete.

Song Siyuan took the flashlight and looked around, revealing a face of sudden realization:

"Our guess seems to be correct, this is indeed the private gold mine of the royal family of the previous dynasty, these caves can complete the entire process from mining to smelting, the ancients need to burn the ore with a flame and then pour water to crush, and finally use a pestle to grind into powder and put it into a blast furnace for incineration, although such a simple alchemy method is not pure, but it can collect gold ore as soon as possible and refine it into gold bricks of the same specification, and these gold stones should be smelted again in the capital to make a higher grade gold ingot."
