Chapter 4: The Mystery of Petrification (2)
As Zhu Baolin said, the passage in the mine is simply like a spider cave, intricate, one after another forks, if you are not careful, you will get lost, and the deeper you go, the more gold content on the stone becomes heavier, sometimes the whole wall is all golden, it seems that you can dig out a piece of gold by hand, and on the way, he also saw some traces of collapse.
However, as he went deeper and deeper, the doubts in his heart became heavier and heavier, if there were traces of artificial carving on the front wall because of the mining of ores by the four great families, then it was difficult to explain that there were traces of artificial mining in every place in the depths of the mine, and it seemed that these caves were excavated by predecessors.
This also means that before the four sons discovered this gold mine, there were already people here who had already been here, and there were so many passages in the gold mine, so who was this person?
According to the laws of the state of Chu, all underground mineral deposits belong to the state, but those who discover the mineral deposits can become miners, that is, mine owners. The mine owner cooperates with the state to hand over the high-purity ore to the state after mining, and the low-purity ore can be sold by itself, which can be said to be a matter of great profit.
Therefore, if you really find this gold mine, it is unlikely that you will mine it secretly, after all, if you hand it over to the state, the state will allow you to have both wealth and status; if you mine privately, if you are discovered, it will be a serious crime of murder, as long as the head is not funny, you will definitely choose to cooperate with the state.
But according to what Zhu Baolin said, Jinsha County has never found a gold mine in history, if this person died in it because of the collapse, then at least the body will be found, or is this person also mysteriously disappeared like Zheng Wu's two sons?
Soon, Fang Ling found the underground river that Zhu Baolin said, the river is indeed very turbulent, and the river is very deep, it just flows past a mine, if a person falls into it, it will indeed be washed away.
Fang Ling picked up the water from the underground river and washed his face, and then jumped into the underground river.
Gold mine, collapse, disappearance, petrification, these words constitute a complex puzzle, in Fang Ling's view, in order to solve this mystery, we must first start from the search for the whereabouts of Zheng Wu's two sons.
He boldly imagined that if the two sons of Zheng Wu were looking for other roads because they couldn't wait for rescue, then it was most likely to swim from the underground river, where the river water was deep and rapid and even more bitterly cold, so although the four great wang clans had sent people in to salvage, they all returned in vain, but for Fang Ling, this kind of river water would not pose much threat to him.
It's just that as soon as he jumped into the river, he immediately felt the considerable impact of the river, Fang Ling hurriedly transported the strength of the Qianjun Panlong, sank to the bottom of the river at once, and grabbed a raised rock with one hand, only then did he stabilize his body.
He sighed secretly, the momentum of this river is quite huge, and as soon as a person falls, he doesn't know that he will be washed out a few miles away, no wonder the Wang clan sent a large number of people to no avail.
