Half a month later, I finally arrived at Wuye Mountain. On the way, Du Zhu told Junbao in detail about the matter, the Guangle faction discovered the spirit stone mine in Wuye Mountain some time ago, this spirit stone is useless to mortals, but it is indeed an indispensable thing in the cultivation realm, and immediately ordered Guangle Guo that this mine must be mined within a year. The emperor of Guangle Kingdom did not dare to slack off, and the officials below wanted to protect the black yarn, and they increased the weight layer by layer, and finally became a spirit stone mined within six months! There are heavy rewards for completing the task, and if you can't complete the task, you will come to see you, and you must resolutely carry out the orders of the immortal family with quality and quantity, which is a major event as important as the current and the Immortal Conference!

The reason why Junbao became a clerk is simple: there are few military Chinese books, and this task is so heavy, and the readers pursue all kinds of inferior products, only the reading is high, and they are unwilling to join the army. Even many clerks in the army sneaked away, so that Admiral Tadu ordered every clerk to be monitored to prevent it from escaping, and looked for people everywhere to fill in the gaps.

There are two roads up the mountain, from the front of the mountain to the mountain is gentle, the barracks are on both sides of the mountain road, and the continuous camp tents sandwich the road in the middle, as if this road is part of the barracks. Du Zhu arranged Junbao to work as a clerk in the fourth battalion according to the order, and Junbao's predecessor was among the first batch of documents to escape. Du Zhu confessed, "Zhang Wenwen, you will rest here in the future, my brother has been following you a while ago, you know, hehe, you must not escape, otherwise not only will you die, but I will also have to be buried with you." If you want to get out of the camp, you have to have a military order from the military lord, you know. Zhang Wenwen, you just bear with it, and you will be free after a year. Tomorrow I will come to you and send you to the fourth battalion, and my business will be settled. Your tasks are all on this functional note, you can see it when you look at it. He pointed to the booklets on the desk. "If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me tomorrow. You have to put on your military uniform now, don't leave the camp if it's okay, otherwise you will be in trouble if you are interrogated by the patrol, I will leave first, but I am tired of the master, you should go to bed early. ”

As soon as Du Zhu left, Junbao put his military uniform on his body, which was left by the previous clerk. It didn't fit well, it was a little short, and the fourth battalion was embroidered with thread on the chest, and a "paperwork" was sewn with strips of cloth under it. There are also pen, ink, paper, inkstone and other things resting on a few, and sleeping is a thin quilt on the haystack, damn, this is the living conditions that Du Admiral gave himself, and said that he would give himself a future!

Looking at the remarks of the post again, the task of the clerk is actually simple, that is, to do a good job of the writing work of the whole battalion. Most of the junior officers and non-commissioned officers were illiterate, and they did some work such as registering the battalion rosters and dealing with written instructions from the superiors. The biggest extra money is writing letters to the family, but it's just a meal of food and drink. Junbao doesn't want to leave now, even if he drives me away, I won't leave, the goal is the spirit stone! There is a description of the spirit stone in the common things after the beginning of the "Dong Xuan Zhen Jing", and I haven't seen the real spirit stone, so I can leave lightly! If there is a chance, it is the right thing to do it, otherwise I am sorry for Guangle Country, and I am sorry for Du Admiral.

The next morning, Du Zhu led Junbao to the mine, no wonder he had to levy so many strong men, the scene was so big! Du Zhu explained as he walked, "This Wuye Mountain mine is at the mouth of the well above, and all these passages have just been opened up, but many people have died. There is a huge hanging blue outside the well, hang the log next to it, and so on out of the spirit stone in the future, you have to send the spirit stone up, people want to go in and out also have to rely on this hanging blue, this is the immortal masters all nodded when they saw it, it took half a month to assemble it alone, and saw that the big oil pot next to it was not used for lighting, and now it is a continuous rotation day and night, and only after the spirit stone can be relaxed a little. ”

A monk paced in the distance, and the strong men and soldiers on both sides saluted one after another, calling them immortals. The monk dismissed, put his hands behind his back, and walked slowly towards the mouth of the well, and the two officers behind him bowed down and shouldered, one of them also carried a pen and paper, and recorded the instructions of the immortal master from time to time. Du Zhu reminded Junbao, "This is Immortal Master Cai, there is a world of difference between him and us mortals, and he can't stammer, but he must not make the Immortal Master unhappy, then the consequence is" He made a gesture of blowing his head. While reminding, he pulled Junbao to salute. Junbao views its cultivation and nourishes the three layers of qi. Much lower than myself.

After Brother Cai passed, Junbao asked him, "What about Immortal Master Cai's accomplices, where are they, what do they usually do?" "Zhang Wenshu, you should be more respectful to the immortal masters than you are to our army, remember in the future! This time, there are ten immortal masters sent by Guangle to this mine, and the one who leads the team, our military gate has to make a big salute when they see it, and the small one is called small, and in the big tent of our army, they all sit in the middle!" Cai Xianshi and Cao Xianshi are responsible for supervising the opening of the well, and they are very dissatisfied with the progress, and the military gate has given the commander of the Wen battalion who supervised the opening of the well to the Fa, and replaced the battalion commander Zhao Runbo, that is, the commander of your fourth battalion. The rest of the immortal masters were not visible, and they all stayed in the immortal dwelling over there,"

He lowered his voice and continued, "The immortal masters are all practicing, and the soldiers who are waiting peek at them, and they were burned by the immortal masters, and they also called our military masters to scold them for a long time. Don't touch that mold. In the eyes of the immortal master, we mortals are no different from ants!" "Junbao looked at the immortal dwelling that was at least ten miles away from the wellhead, in addition to more than ten ** courtyards, there was also a large cylindrical building, similar to a granary. "Do the ten immortal masters want to eat so much grain, and do they have to build a grain depot for them?"

Du Zhu smiled, "It's not a grain warehouse, but a place to process spirit stones, and there is a small warehouse behind it, which is ready to store spirit stones." At the moment, the spirit stone has not been mined, it is empty, and when the spirit stone is released, it is a place where the military gate cannot enter. "Brother Du, I have a question, since the immortal masters have a high level of mana, and they attach so much importance to this thing called a spirit stone, why don't they mine it themselves? With their mana, opening a well is not like playing? "I don't know about this, don't ask others, be careful to be known by the immortal masters, their temper is very strange." At the wellhead, Du Zhu led Junbao into a tent, and sat an officer in the middle, according to his rank, he should be the commander of the Zhao battalion. There were wine and food on the desk, and several wine jars were opened, and the tent was full of wine.

"Battalion Commander Zhao, I sent the paperwork you wanted, his name is Zhang Junbao, but the military gate found it. The military gate said, you have to be kind," Zhao Runbo's skin was dark, but his face was sad, "Xiaozhuzi, I know, it's good that Zhang Wenshu is here, I'm short of people." After Du Zhu finished speaking, he went back. There were only these two people left in the tent, and Battalion Commander Zhao stared at Junbao, "My battalion has a very heavy task, and there are really a lot of lazy soldiers, so I have to supervise." Zhang Shushu, you are usually on duty in my account, if someone looks for me, you will say that I have gone to the well to supervise the work. If there's an order from above, you take it. I will command the food to be brought to the tent, and I will go to the well. ”

Damn, I said that I would leave, and I didn't even finish the wine and food, so you shouldn't forget your selfishness, right? This Camp Commander Zhao seemed to have met an amnesty, and after a few words of explanation, he fled and left. But fortunately, he called out to someone outside the tent to clean up the food and jar. When his guards finished packing up and retreated, only Junbao was left in the tent. Idle, find out the documents on the case and take a look, the first one is the schematic diagram of the mining of the Wuyeshan X mine, and the next are all kinds of working drawings of the mining.

Junbao came interested and carefully checked the situation underground. There are six mining faces underground, each mining face needs to be excavated horizontally for 3,000 zhang, and the deepest is nearly 500 zhang away from the wellhead, the project is huge, plus the auxiliary work for mining is carried out, no small 100,000 people are not good. There is also an explanation of how to distinguish the X stone, which is different from the description of the spirit stone in the "Dong Xuan Zhen Jing", this picture says that the spirit stone is oval-shaped, yellow or brown in appearance, and the size is different, some will be very large, some are the size of a water tank, and some are smaller, similar to a bucket. This is the state of the original mine, no wonder to set up a processing plant, the final state of appearance is a unified brick-shaped object, Junbao knows that there are bigger ones, but with the power of mortals can not move, this picture is not said. There is also a map of the distribution of troops in Wuye Mountain, there are only two roads up the mountain in the whole mountain, and Du Admiral's soldiers are deployed on the two roads up the mountain in front of the mountain and the back mountain to prevent the strong men from escaping. The mountains are so rugged that they are impossible to climb, and if you tie up the road, you block the way to escape. I also looked at some rosters of the four battalions, records of rewards and punishments, and so on, and put them down after reading them hastily.

Why don't you say it's a spirit stone and use x instead? It is estimated that everyone here knows that it is a spirit stone used by the immortal diggers, so there is no need to keep it secret. After thinking about it, I don't know, it doesn't matter, anyway, I just know that this is digging spirit stones. Well, no, this has to dig a deep well of nearly 500 zhang, there is no ventilation shaft at all, and there is no other channel to enter the well, it is a super large one-eyed well, how can this make people breathe? It seems that I have to go and see what is going on.

After sitting idle for a while, I went out for a walk to breathe, and the fourth battalion was the closest unit to the wellhead, and walked over. It was dark, but the whole site was brightly lit, and the earth and rocks dug out of the shaft were carried by carts along the road on the right to a cliff half a mile away, and they were dumped directly. The logs and other materials delivered to the well are sent along the road on the left, the hill-like logs are stacked at the wellhead, mixed with the strong men and soldiers who change shifts up and down, the high crane is erected by giant wood, such as the ladder of people stacked layer by layer, reaching the sky, it is a hundred zhang high, dozens of healthy cattle provide power, the sling on the top is suspended from the pulley group as large as the grinding disc, pulling the hanging blue up and down the size of five zhang, the whole system is cleverly conceived, for Junbao, a physical and chemical student, such a design can only be done like this even if it is a university professor。 Where is this ventilation system?

The only thing I don't understand about all the structures in this system is that there is a three-width pipe that extends into the well from half of the crane, and there is a knot-like protrusion every few feet, which should be a ventilation device. But the reality is that none of the people who enter and leave this well are dead, Junbao revolves around the crane, and turns to the dumping place of dirt and gravel that has fallen down from the hanging blue, and the strong man sends it to the cart with a shovel, Junbao is carefully observing, but Zhihai has reacted on his own, guiding Junbao to see a piece of gravel, the size of a basin, Junbao picks it up, so heavy, Zhihai's reaction is instantly much larger, and there is a strong desire to accept it.

There are people everywhere, it is impossible to enter the pearl at this time, then go to the toilet! Do something to prevent people from hearing in the crowd, the best place is the toilet, this is a truth! Hold the stone with both hands, come to the edge of the toilet, there is no one here, Jun Bao Zhe said, "Go in", just into the pearl, both hands are relaxed, the stone is gone, the palm of the empty brown powder, and some of the palms can not bear it, sprinkled on the "ground" in the bead. It turns out that this is the case, the Qiankun Liangyi Bead is hungry, and it also has to eat! The power of wind and thunder can't help it for the time being, the spirit stone is its current food, and it is not enough to get some of it when it arrives at the spirit stone mine, it really can't be said to the treasure bead!" "Zhuzhu, I'll get it, you wait," Junbao made a wish to it in his heart.

Seeing that there was no one outside from the bead, he immediately came out and ran under the crane, looking carefully in the dirt and stones, just to let the jewel guide him to take it, but after waiting for a long time, the jewel did not respond, Junbao was very disappointed and unwilling. Staying here for a long time, the sergeants who monitored the operation of the crane felt strange, and the two sergeants came to interrogate, but fortunately, Junbao's clerical identity, they were relieved, yes, the newcomer did not feel shocked by the crane, and it was normal to take a look. But he still reminded him, "Zhang Wenwen, this place is an important place, don't stay here for a long time, don't embarrass us, we will invite you to drink when we have time." Junbao couldn't stay here anymore, and Zizi left.

Back in the tent, tossing and turning, it is difficult to sleep, the monk himself sleep is dispensable, this is another concern, there is sleep, my mind is full of spirit stones, I want spirit stones! Now that there are no stones in the mine, should I go directly down to the mine to get them or steal the warehouse? I don't know the essentials, so let's see the opportunity to act.

The next day, he reported to the tent of Camp Commander Zhao, and as soon as he saw Junbao enter the account, "Zhang Wenwen, if someone else has something to do with me, you answer like this, saying that I have to go down the well to supervise the progress during this time, and you are on duty here." As soon as he left, Junbao sat on the side and looked at all kinds of drawings, as the commander of the unit directly responsible for supervising the digging of the well, he had all kinds of construction drawings and distribution drawings in the roadway, which had been seen for the first time yesterday, limited to the technical level of the construction, the drawings were still very brief. The general engineering idea is to dig directly down to about 500 zhang, and then excavate six quarries of different depths to nearly 3,000 zhang horizontally in the predetermined direction, which is a dead order from above. The current progress is that two of the six mining faces have been formed and have begun to excavate inward, and it is estimated that the first batch of raw spirit stone ore will be produced in a few days.

Because there is only one overhead crane, which cannot meet the needs, the upper four layers of mining face are simply demarcated and the position is not excavated inward, and the construction can only be carried out after the bottom two layers of ore are completed. Therefore, there are scattered raw ore in the waste residue that was previously dumped. All the raw ore can only be lifted up by the crane, so I will guard at any two ends of the crane, can't I go to suck the spirit stone? It seems that it will not work on the top of the crane, there are too many people, and I can't find a piece and run to the toilet, which is inefficient and risky, and cannot be considered. The rest can only be hung at the end of the crane gondola, I just need to wait there for the rabbit, come to suck one, come to two to suck two, no, all sucked to cause suspicion, or have to leave some. After the plan was decided, he had to find an excuse not to stay in this tent, but Zhao Runbo, as the battalion commander, did not stay in a relatively comfortable tent, so he had to go down the well, what was the reason?

Before Junbao could figure out the reason, it was revealed by itself. Feeling the breath of a monk outside the tent, he hurriedly stood up, a fat monk opened the tent curtain, his face was full of flesh, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he almost wrote that I was a fierce man, he hadn't spoken yet, and the officer who followed him spoke first, "Yo, it's changed, who are you, why are you in Zhao Runbo's tent? Where is he hiding?" "Captain Qiyu, Battalion Commander Zhao went to the well to supervise the progress, and the small one is a new paperwork." "Junbao saw that his rank was squadron leader.

"Oh, he's really good at hiding, the one surnamed Wen from before seems to have done the same," the immortal master sat on the main seat with a big grin, and the squadron leader scolded, "You are eyeless, Immortal Master Cao is here, why don't you go to the tea?" "Forget it, Guangzao," Brother Cao stood up, paced in front of Junbao, raised his hand and hooked Junbao's chin, "Boy, go back and tell the surnamed Zhao, it is a big crime to fail to complete the progress, it is useless to hide, I beat him to love him, don't be disobedient," and slapped Junbao's face lightly" Do you understand?" Junbao was furious, and slapped his face again after the teasing, Lao Tzu was about to turn his face, the fourth-layer cultivation of the surname Cao, Lao Tzu burned you to death with a fireball in a second, you still have to make a fart!

No, it's simple to burn him, there is no hope for the spirit stone, everything must be focused on the overall situation! or reason has overcome impulse, I endure!" "Lord Immortal, the little one understands, and he must convey the instructions of the Immortal Master to Camp Commander Zhao." "I have to accompany a smiling face when I am insulted, this is not a good feeling, today's hatred is recorded. The surnamed Cao may not think it is interesting to play a little soldier, but Junbao's attitude is so upright, he turned around, "Guangzao, let's go." "Damn, you have a task to catch up with the schedule, and Lao Tzu has the obligation to help you, let Lao Tzu help you complete the task. "Immortal Master, the little ones also want to go down the well. ”

Monk Cao, who was already about to leave the account, listened, and turned his head to look at Junbao, "Boy, do you also want to learn from the Immortal Master surnamed Zhao?, do you think you can hide?" His face became hideous, and Captain Chen kicked him, "Bold, you bastard dare to deceive the Immortal Master, don't you want to live!" His kick Junbao didn't dodge, let it kick, and fell to the ground. "The immortal master is angry, the little one is just wanting to contribute more to the immortal master, and you can't dig more spirit stones if you stay here. ”

Brother Cao smiled, "Boy, you tell me the truth, everyone else is 10,000 unwilling to go down the well, but you voluntarily go down the well and say a convincing reason." "In front of the immortal master, the little one doesn't dare to tell lies, and the little one wants to be promoted. The little one is thinking, this mining is a major event in my Guangle Imperial Kingdom at the moment, and it is naturally beneficial to be able to make some contributions in such a major event, and to make meritorious contributions, there is a chance to go down the mine. After I went down the well, I secretly observed those who did not do my best, and reported them to the immortal master, so that the immortal master would not be deceived. If others don't want to go and I want to go, it will definitely have an unexpected effect. "Listen to you, are you a scholar?" "The little one has taken the Jinshi exam twice, and he has returned with a feather. I had to put pen to paper, Du Admiral also said to protect my future, the small one does not make some achievements, Du Admiral is not easy to talk to, the small one thinks that the reason why the progress is slow, mainly because there is no work, I went to the mine to find out the evidence, and then kill a hundred to see if I can encourage morale, which should be beneficial to the early completion of the mining plan. Junbao is talking nonsense.

"Hahaha, boy, this idea is good, you are a small body, going down the well to dig spirit stones will not play much role, I will promote you to inspector now, responsible for spying on underground intelligence, anyone who does not contribute, you can report to Captain Chen." If the information is true, there will be a reward! Guangzao, you give him a token, and you will go down the well tomorrow. Junbao took the token handed over by Captain Chen, and thanked him for his kindness, and was overjoyed in his heart.
