Chapter 22 Lingyu
After the three of them rested for one night, Zhou Dazhuang came to Zhu Pingfan's room early the next morning and woke Zhu Pingfan up.
"I said Da Zhuang, why did you wake me up so early. ”
"Pingfan, just now I was eating in the inn hall, and I heard the conversation between two villagers, and the content of their conversation made me particularly interested, so I went up to talk to them and learned a lot about this village."
"What about this village, what do we care about? Don't bother me, I want to sleep. ”
"Ordinary have you ever heard of spirit jade, it is said that there are many jade veins near this village, which can be mined out of spirit jade, and a spirit jade can be exchanged for ten thousand taels of gold. ”
Zhu Pingfan, who was just about to climb into bed and go to sleep, said calmly: "What did you just say, Da Zhuang, a spirit jade can be exchanged for ten thousand taels of gold, Da Zhuang, you are not kidding, one tael of gold can be exchanged for one hundred taels of silver, according to what you say, isn't it that a spirit jade can be exchanged for one million taels of silver."
Da Zhuang nodded and said with a serious face: "You're right, that's why I came to talk to you about this."
"Da Zhuang, what happened when you said that there are jade veins nearby. ”
"According to the information I heard, the reason why this village is called Shiyu Village is because of several jade veins nearby. Moreover, according to the villagers, these jade veins are in the hands of the East Stone City Lord's Mansion, and the villagers' daily work is to go to the mine to mine the raw jade ore, and then process and screen it, and there is a great chance that the spirit jade will appear. ”
Zhu Pingfan listened to Da Zhuang's narration and fell into deep thought, and after more than a dozen breaths, Zhu Pingfan smirked and said: "Da Zhuang, we have made a fortune, master, I want to get all the spiritual jade"
"Ordinary, this is a bit difficult, as far as I know, the city lord's mansion is very strict with the management of jade ore veins, even the villagers who go to the mine will carefully check one by one, and will not allow half a piece of jade rough to be brought out, and I heard the name of the village describe that the jade ore veins will be guarded by monks and martial cultivators. ”
"Damn, it's not like there's no chance of stealing the spirit jade. ”
"Strictly speaking, there is not the slightest chance to steal the spirit jade. ”
"Da Zhuang, do you know why that spirit jade is so expensive, what is it for, I don't believe that a piece of broken jade is so valuable. ”
"Of course I also inquired about this, it is said that the spirit jade can help monks or martial cultivators improve their cultivation strength, so I am so interested, as for how to use it, I haven't inquired. ”
"Da Zhuang, according to what you said, that spirit jade should really be very valuable, it can improve the strength of monks and martial cultivators, so as long as you have enough spirit jade, Da Zhuang you will soon be able to reach the realm of martial gods. ”
"I also thought about this, so I just wanted to get a piece of spirit jade to study and study, if it is really so magical, we can get enough spirit jade, and we can soon find the Tian family and the Shenbing Gate for revenge." ”
Zhu Pingfan nodded in agreement and said, "Da Zhuang, we have to find a way to get Lingyu, maybe this is also a way out, Da Zhuang will go out now to inquire about more news." With that, the two of them left the inn and went all the way to the place where the villagers had gathered.
The two soon came to the entrance of the village, followed the villagers who had gone to work in the ore vein, and came to a military camp surrounded by a wooden fence.
Da Zhuang and Pingfan stopped outside the barracks, observing the villagers entering the barracks and the soldiers guarding the barracks gates.
The villagers who entered the barracks swaggered into the barracks without any hindrance, and the soldiers guarding did not bother to look at the villagers who entered the barracks, and several soldiers chatted with themselves, as if they did not see anyone entering.
"Ordinary, let's go in and have a look"
"Big Strong. Don't worry, let's see the situation before we go in, and we're not villagers, and we're not here to mine veins. ”
The two of them found an inconspicuous place to sit on the ground and look at the barracks.
"What the hell are we looking at here?"
"Da Zhuang, don't be noisy, master, I'm thinking about how to get Lingyu. You give me a quiet stay. ”
Da Zhuang closed his mouth and stared at the barracks with Zhu Pingfan. Time passed minute by minute, until late in the evening, villagers came out of the barracks one after another. Out of the barracks, these villagers walked in the direction of Shiyu Village.
"Da Zhuang, let's go back to the inn too. Da Zhuang nodded, and finally the two of them hurried back to the inn in the village.
As soon as he entered the inn door, Chen Yuhan rushed to the two of them and said, "Where have you two been running all day?" ”
Zhu Pingfan said solemnly: "Eat first, and then go back to the room after eating." ”
And Chen Yuhan didn't talk much nonsense when he saw Zhu Pingfan being so serious. After eating, the three of them came to Zhu Pingfan's room together.
Chen Yuhan couldn't help but ask at this time: "What are you two doing all day, and why are you doing so seriously?"
Zhu Pingfan didn't bother to explain: "Da Zhuang will tell her about the matter." ”
Zhou Dazhuang told Chen Yuhan everything about it.
Chen Yuhan also said solemnly: "Ordinary people, you shouldn't want to fight the idea of jade veins, there must be monks or martial cultivators over there, are you crazy?" ”
Zhu Pingfan said: "Yuhan, think about it, what are we coming out of Bianhai City for, for cultivating the truth, and now we have the opportunity to get the spiritual jade that can be cultivated, although there are risks, but risks and opportunities coexist, I have thought about it, the veins here are basically mined by the villagers, so there should not be any powerful monks or martial cultivators here, and the jade rough after mining will be processed, so as to obtain the spiritual jade." Our goal is Lingyu, and it takes three days to get the Lingyu from East Stone City, so we only need to find out when the people from the City Lord's Mansion will transport the Lingyu to East Stone City, and we can find a way to get it before the Lingyu arrives in East Stone City. There is still a chance. ”
Da Zhuang nodded and said, "Then what should we do." ”
"Tomorrow, Da Zhuang and I will disguise ourselves as villagers, and then go to the mine vein barracks to investigate, and Yuhan, you will wait for us at the inn. The specific plan will be determined after the investigation is completed. ”
Chen Yuhan and Da Zhuang both nodded in understanding, and the three of them went back to their rooms to rest.
Early the next morning, Ping Fan and Da Zhuang were waiting at the entrance of the village early to wait for the villagers to go to work in the ore vein, just like yesterday. The villagers arrived one after another, and Zhu Pingfan and Da Zhuang came to the side of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy.
Zhu Pingfan smiled and said, "I said this brother, how long have you been working in the mine." ”
Boy: "Who are you, do we know each other?"
Zhu Pingfan gave the young man ten taels of silver and said, "We should know." ”
The young man looked at the silver that Zhu Pingfan stuffed himself and said, "My name is Liu Wan, and I have worked in the vein for more than a year. ”
Zhu Pingfan learned from the conversation with the teenager that there are a total of three ore vein entrances, and yesterday was the closest intersection from the village, the villagers will go to the three entrances to work, and there is no need to be tested when entering the barracks, everyone can enter the ore vein after receiving mining tools, and the villagers get the reward is the jade vein brought out by the villagers, and the corresponding remuneration will be given after inspection. A piece of rough ore with a large head can be inspected and met the requirements to get a tael of silver. If it doesn't meet the rules, it's just an ordinary stone, and you won't get paid. The more rough you mine, the more accurate you will be, and the more you will be paid at the end of the day. After handing in the rough jade, after checking that the rough stone was not stolen, he could leave the barracks on his own.
According to the information obtained, there is a special person in charge of the processing of jade veins, and there is no need for these villagers. And these villagers don't know where Lingyu ended up.
Zhu Pingfan was thinking about how to find out who was responsible for transporting the spirit jade to Dongshi City at this time, and he didn't go to the barracks and returned to the inn with Da Zhuang directly, and called Chen Yuhan back to his room.
"Da Zhuang, what do you think. ”
"Ordinary, I really don't understand, how can I get Lingyu. ”
"Yuhan, what do you think. ”
"Ordinary, I don't understand, how can I get Lingyu. ”
Zhu Pingfan sighed and said, "Master, I met two pig teammates, and I was so tired. After that, he whispered in the ears of the two: "This, this, and then ...... again."
