Chapter 5 Shaoling Mine Cave (3)
After a long time, Tan Biao said in a low voice: "How is Qiuqing now?"
Liu Yiwen replied: "Listening to Yu Mei, she is still grounded by her master and is not allowed to leave the cave for half a step. He looked at Tan Biao, "What are your plans next?"
Tan Biao raised his head to look at the sky and said slowly: "Brother Liu, in fact, I am also very conflicted and painful in my heart. Qiu Qing once said that she was willing to give up the immortal avenue for me, and I am a mortal, and after decades, I will be a piece of loess, so I really don't want to delay her. Tell me, what would you do if you did?"
Liu Yiwen was slightly suffocated, and was speechless.
Tan Biao continued: "I thought that I would live this life in this mine, but I didn't expect that Brother Liu would still remember me, but even if I am free, I can't alleviate the pain in my heart in the slightest, like a lost soul." ”
Liu Yiwen was uncomfortable when he heard this, and said: "Brother Tan doesn't have to be like this, since you don't want to disturb Yu Daoyou's Qingxiu, why don't you cut off the love thread earlier and be a carefree mortal." ”
Tan Biao shook his head and said bitterly: "Let me not disturb her, I can do it." How easy is it for me to forget her?"
Liu Yiwen confessed that he couldn't let go for a while, so he comforted: "Brother Tan can think about it here for a while, and after we get out of this mine, how about discussing it slowly?"
Tan Biao was speechless, as if he had acquiesced, and picked up the spirit wine in front of him and drank it.
Or the wine was too strong, Tan Biao got drunk not long after, Liu Yiwen put him on the bed, left the stone room, and went to find Qin useless.
Liu Yiwen, accompanied by Qin Wufu, came to the pile of wooden boxes containing spiritual ores, looked at them carefully, and picked up the spiritual ores from time to time to take a closer look.
He knew most of the spirit ores in it, and in the last wooden box, there were more than a dozen pieces of cyan ore the size of a baby's palm, which were emitting a glowing green light. Liu Yiwen picked up one of them and held it up in front of his eyes to look at it carefully.
Qin Wufu smiled and introduced: "Liu Daoyou, this Qinglin iron ore is scarce in the Zhongling Mine, and it has a slightly more stock in the depths of the cold mine, if you want to make up enough catties earlier, just go along the rightmost branch of the mine road all the way in, there is an extremely deep branch, and the proportion of this mine in it is the highest here." With that, he handed over a white jade slip.
Liu Yiwen replied with a smile: "Thank you Brother Qin for your advice, then I'll go explore the way first!"
"Wait!"
Liu Yiwen was slightly stunned, looking at Qin Wufu in puzzlement, and the latter said: "One thing I also want to remind Liu Daoyou is that although there is a stable magic array in the mine, just in case, don't use spells that are too powerful." ”
He hurriedly said, "I see!" With that, he walked into the mine on the right.
Liu Yiwen looked along the way, and the mine was still spacious at first, but it gradually became narrower. The number of sunstones overhead has also become smaller, and the light is much worse.
A slightly larger sunstone was placed above his head, and he continued to search forward. Na Yu Jian swept a few glances with his divine sense, and the situation in the mine cave was roughly understood, and he walked towards the mine road that Qin Wuwu marked. What's even more surprising is that there are many remnants of monuments and broken pillars in the mine, or some broken ancient tripods and other things.
At many forks, there are stone pillars with intricate runes carved on them. Liu Yiwen thought about it and could see that it should be used to stabilize the structure of the mine and prevent it from collapsing.
After zigzag through the cobweb-like tunnels, encountering several ordinary mortals along the way, he finally reached the end of the tunnel.
There were some gravel chips on both sides, Liu Yiwen casually stretched out a finger and crossed the rocks on the stone wall, and the huge stones fell in response, and he pointed at the stones again, and a bright light flashed and hit the stones.
There was a muffled sound, and the stone shattered into a pile from the inside, and he brushed it with his sleeve, and the dust flew up, and then he searched carefully through the rubble, but found no valuable spiritual ore.
Liu Yiwen concocted the same method, and after a full meal, he finally mined the first piece of Qinglin iron ore and several other ordinary ores. With a little peace of mind, he began to repeat the tedious work of mining.
Three hours later, four more pieces were picked, and I felt a little tired, so I went back to the stone room to rest.
Tan Biao had already woken up at this time, sat on the stone bench and was distracted, and when he saw Liu Yiwen coming back, he just nodded slightly, looking worried.
Liu Yiwen didn't bother him, and went back to the room to meditate and recover. After a while, he took a Yellow Dragon Pill and slowly absorbed it. Recently, he has been working hard to improve his cultivation, and he has not fallen behind for a moment.
Although it is not possible to distinguish day and night in this mine, Liu Yiwen can still perceive it. Early the next morning, in the mine yesterday, two figures appeared, one was Liu Yiwen, and the other was Tan Biao's son.
Liu Yiwen was also a little helpless, and when he was about to leave in the morning, Tan Biao suddenly asked to mine together. Of course, Liu Yiwen refused, with his speed, Tan Biao was dispensable.
However, Tan Biao proposed that he was too bored in the stone room to control his cranky thoughts, so it was better to let him find something to do. Liu Yiwen also made sense when he heard it, so the two came here together, he was responsible for mining, Tan Biao was responsible for selection, and the cooperation was tacit.
After more than half a month, they have completed nearly half of the task.
Today, the two are still digging deeper.
The temperature in the mine became even colder, and Liu Yiwen had to thicken the shield for Tan Biao. Bang, bang, the low sound of stone and earth breaking repeats mechanically.
Suddenly, Tan Biao was surprised: "Yiwen, what do you see there?" Liu Yiwen was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but follow the top of his head to look intently.
I saw a fist-sized metal-like thing exposed, and it still shone with a faint aura. He hadn't noticed it just now, but it was the vibration of the excavation of the stone wall, exposing it to his eyes.
His heart moved slightly, and he solemnly slashed at the stone wall beside this object, and in this way, this thing was finally dug out by him. The two of them looked at the object with amazement: it was an ancient bell vessel half a man high, and although it was somewhat broken, it was still largely intact. The body of the bell was painted with all kinds of intricate and ancient characters, but he could not read them.
Judging from the style, this bell should have been cast in ancient times, but after such a long time, you can still feel the abundant spiritual power emanating from it, which shows that this thing is extraordinary.
Liu Yiwen circled around this object twice, and found that the top of the ancient clock was a little uneven, and after careful inspection, he found that a map was drawn. The terrain of the mountains and rivers depicted on this map is unfamiliar, and I don't know which region it is.
Suddenly, at a certain mountain peak on the map, a jade the size of a soybean attracted him. This jade is deep yellow, the color is lush, shining with a mysterious aura, delicate and auspicious, and it is vaguely distinguishable that the carved painting is some kind of building.
It looks like a temple but not a hall, and it looks like a platform but not a platform.
