Chapter 357: Spirit Stone Mine
When Deacon Zhao was about to pay Shantugong, someone shouted slowly, and everyone looked sideways, and saw that not far behind him, a person walked over, but in an instant, the figure had already arrived in front of him, it was Jiang Yu.
Although Jiang Yu was in civilian clothes, Deacon Zhao and the people around him still recognized Jiang Yu at the first time. Hula la, kneeling down a large piece.
"Lord City Lord, why are you here?" Deacon Zhao knelt at the front, secretly frightened, and said in his heart that it was fortunate that he had done the things in the mine seriously, without any restraint and negligence, otherwise if he was looked at by this new city lord, he was afraid that he would not have a good life of his own.
"I'm just coming to see. Jiang Yu said this, gently picked up Deacon Zhao, and then asked the people behind him to stand up as well. For a person like Deacon Zhao who is willing to do things for him loyally, Jiang Yu naturally still has to give him enough face.
Jiang Yu listened to Deacon Zhao's report on the affairs of the mine, while Shan Tugong and his subordinates all watched coldly. Until Jiang Yu turned his eyes to look at the people in the mountains and soils. Shantu Gong lazily arched his hand and said, "I've seen the Jiang City Lord." At this time, Deacon Zhao hurriedly came out and introduced Jiang Yu, Jiang Yu listened, nodded slightly, but didn't say anything, and didn't return the courtesy. That mountain tugong looked at Jiang Yu and snorted softly: "Shicai, but the city lord of Jiang said that the old man is gone?"
Jiang Yu smiled when he heard this, and said, "Exactly." Seeing Jiang Yu admitting it, Shantu Gong frowned, and said: "The old man has known the mine all his life, and he has never made a mistake, even if it is the many masters of your sect, they have also asked me to survey, and there has never been a mistake, and no one has said that the old man is gone, Jiang City Lord, why do you say this?"
Originally, Jiang Yu just couldn't get used to the arrogant appearance of Shan Tugong, but now that he heard him mention the courtyard masters in the Shenwu Sect and use the identities of those courtyard masters to suppress himself, Jiang Yu looked at Shan Tugong and said in his heart that you deserve to be unlucky. He had already determined that this old man should not have pupil skills, and as for how he used to survey, it was unknown.
Jiang Yu didn't add a deep groan, stood with his hands in his hands, looked at the mountains and said fairly: "Whether you are blind or not, you can verify one or two." ”
"Verification?" When Shan Tugong heard this, his brows moved, and he looked at Jiang Yu with extremely disdainful eyes, as if Jiang Yu had said something terrible, and then he twisted his beard and laughed, and said, "Okay, I don't know how the Jiang City Lord wants to verify." ”
"City Lord...... Deacon Zhao behind Jiang Yu was a little flustered, he was unquestionable on Jiang Yu's side. He was so panicked because he felt that Shan Tugong was a very authoritative person in his line. Jiang Yu is young and vigorous, challenging authority, if he is defeated, he will definitely damage the majesty of the city lord.
Jiang Yu understood Deacon Zhao's concern, and shook his hand behind his back, signaling that Deacon Zhao didn't have to say anything. Jiang Yu looked at Shan Tugong and said, "If you verify it, it's simple, call a few people to come and dig it up to see if you can dig it out, no." ”
"Okay, just listen to the Jiang City Lord. Shan Tugong said this, Jiang Yu smiled, stretched out his hand to invite, and came to the mine with Shan Tugong and others. Half of the mines are underground and the other half are open-pit mines. Jiang Yu did not go down to the mine with Shantugong, but walked on the open-pit mine. In the open-pit mine, there are still stones except stones. There is not a single tree in sight.
"What does Elder Shan think of this?" Jiang Yu walked for a while, then stopped and looked back at Shan Tugong. Shan Tugong looked around, twisted his beard, and said, "There is a little copper ore at most down here, but it's just a thin layer." ”
"Oh?" Jiang Yu shook his head when he heard this, and said, "I don't think so, I think that in addition to copper mines, there may be spirit stone mines down here, and there are quite a few." ”
Lingshi Mine!
As soon as Jiang Yu said that the spirit stone mine exited, everyone present was shocked. The concept of a spiritual stone mine is a completely different concept from the accidental discovery of one or two spiritual stones when digging copper and iron ore. Copper and iron ore is very common, and the spirit stone mine is a rarer mineral deposit than gold and silver mines, it can be said that owning a spirit stone mine is equivalent to mastering a large amount of inexhaustible wealth. There are only three spirit stone mines in the huge Wasteland Continent, and the output is not high, but they all directly belong to the Holy Altar of the Shenwu Sect, and the city lords below are not qualified to touch them. The people who mined were all people directly sent by the Holy Altar of the Shenwu Sect, which showed the degree of attention.
And hearing Jiang Yu say the three words of Lingshi Mine, Shan Tugong couldn't help but sneer a few times. Originally, he was still a little worried, but at this time, it also disappeared. The heart said that it turned out that I met a young person who didn't understand anything. It turns out that in the hearts of these surveyors in Shantugong, there is a deep-rooted concept, that is, spirit stone mines are generally produced underground, and almost all of them are extremely deep underground, so there are spirit stone mines. It is cumbersome and expensive to mine. As for the open-pit spirit stone mine, it was simply unheard of.
Shantugong stroked his beard and said: "The old man has exhausted his life's strength, but he has only found two spirit stone mines, if the spirit stone mine is close at hand, but the old man doesn't know it, then isn't the old man blind? Jiang City Lord said that there is a spirit stone mine down here, but the old man doesn't believe it." ”
"If I really dig out the spirit stone mine, what should Elder Shan do?" Jiang Yu asked calmly. Jiang Yu was naturally prepared, and when he came here, he had already noticed from a distance that the aura here was dense and different from the place next to him. Although it is said that the Broken Mystery Flame cannot penetrate the soil and stones, the aura emitted by the underground spirit stone is almost about to break through the ground, and Jiang Yu decided that there must be a spirit stone mine below, otherwise there would not be such a large spiritual aura. Because of this, he is full of confidence and arguing with the mountain and the soil.
After listening to Jiang Yu's words, Shan Tugong also lost his temper, compared his eyes with his hand, and said, "Then I will gouge out these eyes for you." ”
Hearing this, Jiang Yu smiled slightly and said, "That bloody thing, what do I want it for." In this way, there is still a large barren mountain in the south, which is also the asset of the Shenwu Sect, and I will also open up a mine over there, if the old man is unfortunate enough to leave, he will take your apprentices and help me open up a mine over there, how about it?" Jiang Yu knows very well that he has the ability to find a spiritual stone mine, but he can't find a copper and iron mine himself, and if he wants to open up a new mining area, he still needs someone like Shan Tugong to help.
Hearing Jiang Yu say this, Shantu said fairly: "Okay, then it's decided, if there is a spirit stone mine here, I will take my apprentices to find a new mining area for you, and I won't take a penny, but ...... If there is no one down here, what should the Jiang City Lord do?"
Jiang Yu smiled faintly and said, "If not, I will pay Shan Lao a hundred times more today, how about it?"
In a word, it was shocking, the mountain and the prince asked for a lot of money, just by coming here to take a look, he would give him eight thousand spirit stone coins, a hundred times, that would be eight hundred thousand. Everyone sighed that this was a big gamble, and secretly admired this young city lord in their hearts, who was so courageous.
After agreeing, Deacon Zhao immediately called over a few people and asked them to start digging with various tools, and Shan Tugong also asked the apprentices and entourage around him to take tools to dig. These people are much more powerful than ordinary miners, and in less than half an hour, they have already dug more than a foot deep. At this time, there were many miners who also heard the news, and watched the excitement from a distance and talked about it.
"It's dug up!" Suddenly, someone shouted, and saw a disciple of the Shan Tu Gong, whose hands were full of dirt, holding a broken stone glowing with purple light, jumped up. Although Jiang Yu is a layman, he guesses in his heart that this is mostly copper ore. And seeing what others say, this is indeed the copper ore that the mountain soil said. Jiang Yuxin said that Shantugong was really powerful, but after walking on it for a while, he found the copper ore here.
And then digging for almost an hour, sure enough, as Shan Tugong said, this copper ore is really just a thin layer, if this piece is only such a layer, counting all the miners here, it will be all mined in about half a month.
"City Lord Jiang, am I wrong with what I said?" asked Jiang Yu, who was standing beside him, proudly. Jiang Yu smiled faintly and arched his hand: "Shan Lao is really powerful, but what I said may not be wrong." ”
Those people continued to dig downward, digging until dusk, and a large pit had been dug here with a length of more than ten zhang and a width and a depth of six or seven zhang. Digging and digging, several of Deacon Zhao's subordinates jumped up, bowed in front of Jiang Yu and said, "City Lord, I can't dig anymore." As he spoke, several other people also jumped up.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Yu asked.
Before those people could speak, they saw the mountain soil man twist his beard and said, "I guess they dug up the Weaving Gold Rock." If you can't dig down, that's normal. ”
Jiang Yu didn't know what the Weaving Gold Rock was, and Shan Tugong and the knowledgeable people around him knew that the so-called Weaving Gold Rock was an extremely hard stone, not to mention an ordinary mining tool, even if it was an extremely sharp sword, if you cut it on the Weaving Gold Rock, I am afraid that it would be at most one more white spot, and it would not be able to cut at all. The stone is so hard that it is extremely difficult to use, because how to cut it from the whole rock is a big problem. Coincidentally, there are still a lot of such rocks in the barren state. It's almost a miner's nightmare, generally mining to the weaving rock, that means that it has been dug to the end, and then down, basically can't be mined.
After listening to Shan Tugong's words, Deacon Zhao's people nodded, confirming what Shan Tugong said. At this time, Deacon Zhao's heart was cold, and he said that if he couldn't dig to the end, it would be good to say, and he could still save a little face, but now that he has dug up the Zhijin Rock, he can't continue to dig down, so this heel can be planted.
Jiang Yu didn't care what he was weaving gold rock, he walked to the edge of the pit and jumped down directly. Walking on those weaving gold rocks, Jiang Yu stepped on them hard, and the soil on the surrounding pit walls was falling, as if he used a lot of strength, but the weaving gold rocks below did not move at all. At this time, Jiang Yu also knew why they couldn't dig down.
"Get a tool down. Jiang Yu shouted to the above. Deacon Zhao immediately jumped down with an iron pickaxe and handed the iron pickaxe to Jiang Yu with his own hands. And at this time, Shan Tugong and the others were all standing on it, looking at the jokes below, and they said in their hearts that not to mention the iron pickaxe, even the magic weapon could not be dug up. If this iron pickaxe is planed up, the iron pickaxe will be broken directly.
Jiang Yu tossed the iron pickaxe, but his heart moved. He remembered that in the past, in order to make Xiao Ruo suffer less, he went into the mountains to mine, but now that time has passed, Jiang Yu couldn't help but sigh that creation made people.
"You go up first!" Jiang Yu said to Deacon Zhao, who took the order and jumped up. Seeing Jiang Yu holding an iron pickaxe in his hand, attaching his incomparably sharp aura to the iron pickaxe, and slashing downward, he heard a bang, and the weaving gold rock under Jiang Yu's feet instantly cracked a big hole. Seeing this scene, Shan Tugong almost fell into the big pit below. He couldn't help but look angrily at his apprentice beside him, and the apprentice also saw Jiang Yu digging open the Weaving Gold Rock, and said helplessly: "Master, we did confirm it just now, and the following is the Weaving Gold Rock." As he spoke, the disciple grabbed a piece from the flying debris and handed it to the mountain prince. Shan Tugong swept his eyes and knew that it was indeed a weaving gold rock.
"It's really strange!" Shan Tugong has lived a long time, and now he is more than a hundred years old, and he has never seen the person who could destroy the Weaving Gold Rock so easily. He knew very well that this had nothing to do with tools, because what Jiang Yu had in his hand was an ordinary iron pickaxe, nothing powerful, it must have been Jiang Yu who used some ingenious method to be able to smash the Weaving Gold Rock so easily.
After a while, Jiang Yu jumped up from below, what he did was to break the layer of weaving gold rock, as for the cleaning work, naturally someone else would do it.
"Keep digging down, it shouldn't be far away. Jiang Yu said with a smile.
Jiang Yu commanded, and the people under Deacon Zhao picked up the iron pickaxe, jumped underneath, and dug down while cleaning up. Not long after Jiang Yu came up, Shan Tugong's eyebrows were sharp, his eyes were wide, and he almost came out of his eyes, looked down, looked sideways at Jiang Yu, and said, "It's really ...... It's incredible. ”
Jiang Yu laughed and said, "Shan Lao found out?"
Shan Tugong arched his hand and said respectfully: "I didn't expect that the city lord of Jiang had such a ability, through the weaving gold rock, he could still spy on the underground mysteries, and his skills were superior, and he was extremely impressed by the old decay, and he was willing to bow down." "After speaking, you must bow down seriously. Jiang Yu hurriedly helped him and said, "I just hit him by mistake." ”
Jiang Yu said this, of course, modestly, and whoever took this seriously would be a fool, after all, how could the spirit stone mine be stumbled out by mistake.
Jiang Yu looked at Shan Tugong and wondered: "Actually, I am very puzzled, what do you rely on to investigate the location of mineral deposits?" Hearing this, Shan Tugong did not speak, and Deacon Zhao said beside him: "Shan Lao's nose can be called the first nose in the world, and you can smell the breath of mineral deposits from a distance. ”
Listening to what Deacon Zhao said, Shantugong shook his head and said with a red face: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I think I'm old, and I can't smell it when I am isolated from Zhijinyan."
"I see. Jiang Yu secretly sighed in his heart, there are such strange people.
Just as the people above were freezing, the people below exclaimed, and they saw that in the big pit below, the dirt on the surface was swept away, and a light blue translucent light was revealed below.
Spirit Stone!
Large pieces of spirit stones are attached to the rocks, although they have not been mined yet, but in terms of the luster of the spirit stones, they are at least spirit stones above the ground level.
"Lord of the City, it's really a blessing. When he saw the spirit stone mine, Shan Tugong was even more stunned. Secretly drinking such a spirit stone mine, let alone seeing it, even if you have never heard of it. The so-called spirit stone mine, a fist-sized spirit stone can be found within ten steps, then it is already a relatively abundant spirit stone mine. It seems to be completely crowded together like this, the big one is the same as a watermelon, the color is uniform and clear, and such a rich mineral deposit can only be described by the word God.
Seeing such a spirit stone mine, Deacon Zhao and his subordinates were almost stupid. Deacon Zhao came to Jiang Yu's side and said, "City Lord, I think it's better to immediately transfer troops from the city to protect here, this and this ......" Deacon Zhao was almost a little incoherent. You must know that such a large piece of mine is still open-pit. That's almost a piece of oversized fat, and the people of the Three Kings Courtyard and the Five Aggregate Dao can say that if people from other cities come out, it is possible to come and rob it. Not to mention any ten-star fan. This spirit stone is almost placed here, even if it is violently mined, it can get a lot of oil and water.
Jiang Yu nodded and said, "Then you can take my warrant and transfer some people from Muyun City." In the entire Muyun City, Jiang Yu can mobilize more than 50,000 people, and in order to protect this mineral deposit, Jiang Yu originally put almost 5,000 people here, and now that he found the spirit stone mine, he ordered Deacon Zhao to send another 20,000 people to guard it.
After mobilizing people, Jiang Yu looked sideways at Shangshan Tugong, smiled faintly, and said, "Shan Lao, you have to keep our agreement." ”
Shan Tugong listened to Jiang Yu's words, and arched his hand and said: "In the twilight of the old man, if you can still see such a spectacular spirit stone mine, it is worth losing." But for the sake of motivation, not a penny. ”
Hearing him say that he didn't take a penny, Jiang Yu smiled and said, "The old man is too modest, and the remuneration is still the same." After saying this, Jiang Yu said to those who were watching the excitement nearby: "The so-called seeers have a share, today the spirit stone mine was discovered, and the witnesses were all given a gold bonus." You can claim it directly now. Jiang Yu knew that Deacon Zhao should still have these money. At this time, Deacon Zhao was also very happy, Jiang Yu was so scattered, he did not object, because he knew that as soon as the Lingshi Mine appeared, it would definitely solve the embarrassment of Muyun City's lack of money, and the scattered wealth would be nothing at all.
Looking at the lively miners in the valley here, as soon as they heard what Jiang Yu said, they immediately thundered with joy, and shouted long live the city lord, grateful. For them, a gold fund is enough to support their families for several months. It's just that they don't know that Jiang Yu has another purpose in doing this.
Shan Tugong stared at the spirit stone mine for a long time, and said to Jiang Yu: "City Lord Jiang, I think this mine is ......" He was just about to say something, Jiang Yu gently signaled him to silence, and whispered to Shan Tugong: "Shan Lao, don't spoil my business." ”
"This ......" Shantu Gong heard this, and he didn't know what kind of medicine Jiang Yu was selling in the gourd. But since Jiang Yu didn't let him say anything, he naturally wouldn't say more.
