"This idea has been circulating in our mind, Lao Chu, for a long time. I originally planned to tell you, little brother, later, but I just heard that you, little brother, are leaving. If you don't tell me, you won't have the chance."
Yang Junshan asked curiously: "Are you sure that I will agree?"
Chu Chuang shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, but how can you know if you don't try!"
Yang Junshan said seriously: "When this matter comes up, the most I can do is tell you a message to my father. After all, I can't make the decision on this matter myself. Secondly, to be honest, how much powder can you gather now?" ? How much of the cotton soil powder you grind out every day can be exchanged for Linggu? If the accumulated cotton soil powder can only be exchanged for three to four hundred kilograms of Linggu, why would my father go to Chenchen from Mengyu County? A trip to Yu County?¡±
Chu Chuang suddenly had a smile on his face when he heard Yang Junshan's previous sentence, but when he heard the latter sentence, his face darkened and he couldn't help but sigh, his mouth squirmed but in the end he didn't say anything.
What Yang Junshan said is also true. Even if you travel by carriage from Mengyu County to Chenyu County, it will take a day and two nights. Even if you can drive a grain truck faster, it will still take a day and a night. If the quantity is small, it is not worth it. When walking back and forth.
Besides, there is a shortage of Linggu everywhere in this year. He is openly driving a fully loaded grain truck between the two counties. In order to prevent any jealous family from grabbing food in the middle, at least one martial arts master is needed to control the formation. For the little bit of clay powder in the hands of the Qingshu villagers, it was a one-time deal, so it was really not worth it.
On the second day, Yang Junshan switched to another mine tunnel for excavation. He spent almost a whole day advancing the mine tunnel seven or eight feet without any gains. In the evening, Yang Junshan returned to yesterday's mine tunnel. Zhong brought a basket of raw ore, said hello to Chu Chuang, and then left with a basket of concentrate. He could see that Chu Chuang seemed to want to say something to him, but he seemed to have some scruples and finally did not speak.
On the third day, Yang Junshan once again dug a small cave from the bottom of the mine tunnel and harvested a Wutu stone that was only the size of a pigeon egg. Although this Wutu stone was small, it finally made Yang Junshan feel relieved. I finally started to calm down and practice again.
After another three days of this, Yang Junshan had dug out eight or nine Wutu stones in the second mine tunnel. Although he had not been able to dig out the second Wutu stone, the harvest could be considered. Not bad.
In the past few days, Chu Chuang gave Yang Junshan a small flag with a big word "Chu" written on it. However, in the past few days, Chu Chuang led several of his brothers and other miners to fight for the mine tunnel. After the conflict, Chu Chuang and others joined forces and began to purposefully occupy some mine tunnels with rich mineral resources. By placing this "Chu" flag at the entrance of the mine tunnel, it was to tell other miners in the mine that they were in this mine. Chu Chuang's people have reserved the venue. If anyone breaks in again, they will be in trouble with Chu Chuang.
Chu Chuang has already made a name for himself among the miners. Having this flag has saved Yang Junshan a lot of trouble. If it is inserted at the entrance of the mine, it will reduce a lot of harassment whether he is practicing or mining.
On the evening of the seventh day, Yang Junshan carried a basket of raw ore as usual to the gathering place of Chu Chuang and others in the mine. When he was about to leave with a basket of concentrate, he was suddenly grabbed by Chu Chuang. He was dragged into a secluded mine tunnel.
"Brother Yang, if I have a lot of cotton soil powder on hand, brother Yang, can you help me build a bridge with Mr. Yang?" Chu Chuang asked sincerely.
Yang Junshan said in surprise: "A lot of cotton soil powder? How many do you have and how did you get it?"
Chu Chuang gritted his teeth and said: "Give me two months, I can save enough to buy a fully loaded car with Linggu!"
"Impossible!" Yang Junshan didn't believe it at all, and said, "If you accumulate enough cotton soil powder to exchange for one hundred and fifty stone spirit valleys in two months, even if you and your brothers don't eat or drink in these two months, It¡¯s impossible to save even if you practice!¡±
Chu Chuang said: "Don't worry about it. Anyway, we, Old Chu, have a way to collect enough cotton soil powder. As long as Brother Yang can get a cart of Linggu, we, Old Chu, will never let you suffer."
Yang Junshan squinted his eyes and looked at Chu Chuang, and finally shook his head and said: "Brother Chu, it's not that I don't trust you, but it's useless for me to believe in you. This matter is very important, and you must give me a reason to convince my father! "
Chu Chuang's eyes were wandering, and he was obviously at war with heaven and man in his heart. Finally, he seemed to have made up his mind, and said: "Okay! Who told everyone to be forced into this? We, Lao Chu, bet our fortune on it." life!"
Looking at Yang Junshan's questioning eyes, Chu Chuang said in a deep voice: "Brother Yang, we accidentally dug a secret passage at the bottom of a remote tunnel in the mine. A secret tunnel that escaped the surveillance of the formation and led to the outside of the mine." Secret passage!"
"What??? Yang Junshan immediately realized that his voice was too high, and he quickly covered his mouth and whispered: "How is this possible? Are there any of your brothers who are proficient in formations?" "
Chu Chuang smiled bitterly and said: "Where is the formation master? I just happened to find it accidentally. Chu Yang has already tried it and sent a basket of screened concentrate outside the mine. After that, no warning appeared in the formation path. Next time After work, he and I quietly carried the basket of concentrate back from the back hill. "
The formation channels in the mine can detect whether there is entrainment on the miners entering the mine. In addition, the formation channel also has a function of providing early warning of the excavation situation in the mine. Once someone digs the mine channel through the ground, The stewards and bosses at the mine will know immediately.
Yang Junshan looked at Chu Chuang with a gloomy look. Chu Chuang didn't know what Yang Junshan was thinking, so he just looked at him nervously, but heard Yang Junshan suddenly say: "I'm afraid that won't work either. The managers and bosses at the mine are not Fool, daily mine inspections can roughly estimate the amount of concentrate collected. If you smuggle the concentrate out, you will definitely mine less. It will be noticed over time, even if you can dig more. , but the amount of smuggling will definitely be reduced.¡±
Chu Chuang smiled and said: "Our old Chu has thought of this a long time ago. Firstly, with Brother Yang's guidance, we can always find some rich ores, and the amount of mining will naturally be taken away; secondly, Brother Yang also knows that recently, Lao Chu and I are renting the mine with my brothers, and we forcefully occupy a few mine tunnels to dig together every day. This also saves us from fighting with other miners every day. "
"It turns out you have already thought about it!"
Yang Junshan secretly thought that this person is really thoughtful. No wonder he was able to become the leader of hundreds of miners in Qingshu Village in his previous life. However, this is a huge opportunity for Yang Junshan: "No, it's very important. I have to see it in person." Take a look at that secret passage."
This kind of loopholes in the formation may indeed exist, not to mention that the formation in the mine is not necessarily a brilliant formation. It is normal to have loopholes. With Yang Junshan's current ability, if the formation plate is arranged, The formation base was seen by him, and he might be able to find a secret passage from the mine. But if Chu Chuang happened to find a loophole in the mine, it could only be said that he was lucky.
When Chu Chuang heard that Yang Junshan wanted to see the secret tunnel in person, his expression suddenly changed and he said, "Brother Yang, this is not necessary. After all, my brother and I risked our lives to find that tunnel." "What do you think? If you give me something, I will return it to you the next day without going through the mine tunnel. Wouldn't this prove that we, Lao Chu, do have this secret tunnel?"
Yang Junshan also knew that it was really difficult to prove the secret passage in person. Seeing Chu Chuang's objection, he stopped insisting and said: "Okay, tomorrow you ask Chu Yang not to work, and I will leave it to you in the mine." Some things, and then I left the mine in the middle of the work, and you still stayed in the mine. After I went out, I agreed on a place to meet Chu Yang. If he can bring the things I gave you, it will naturally prove that you have indeed avoided the formation. How about the passage?¡±
Chu Chuang thought about Yang Junshan's method secretly and found no loopholes, so he nodded and said, "Okay, it's up to you!"
On the second day of work, after Yang Junshan entered the mine, he did not immediately look for Chu Chuang. Instead, he walked quickly towards the mine tunnel where Wutu Stone was being excavated. However, he had just arrived at the fork near the mine tunnel. Yang Junshan paused in his steps and his face suddenly turned livid.
Ding dong! Ding dong! ¡
No, someone has already come here to mine first!
Yang Junshan slowed down and came outside the mine tunnel he was digging. He was relieved when he found that no miners were mining inside. However, when he followed the sound and found the mine tunnel that was being mined, , his face suddenly darkened. The mine tunnel being mined was actually another mine tunnel that produced Wu earth stone.
Did anyone notice this mine tunnel so quickly? Yang Junshan remembered that it was only a year and a half after the Wu earth stone was discovered in his previous life, and it was two years after Yang Junshan came to dig!
When Yang Junshan saw the pile of slag at the bottom of the mine tunnel, he suddenly realized that the reason was himself. Anyone who saw so much slag accumulated in a mine tunnel would conclude that the mineral deposits in this mine tunnel should be good. , there must have been a lot of people coming to mine to accumulate so much slag.
Looking at the perseverance of the two miners at the bottom of the mine tunnel, although Yang Junshan has dug out nearly twenty Wutu stones and a Wutu fine stone from this mine tunnel, it is expected that most of the Wutu stones should have been dug out. I played it myself, but who knows if there will be any remaining Wu earth stones dug out next.
Yang Junshan turned around and ran to the bottom of the other mine tunnel. The secret of Wutushi might be leaked. The top priority was that Yang Junshan could only seize the time and try to get the news out before it came out.??I dug out a few more Wutu stones before, but now that his cultivation has reached the fourth level, his need for spiritual power is far greater than that of monks of the same level. If there are not enough Wutu stones to ensure the speed of cultivation, his cultivation may be This will put a distance between you and those talented monks.
Fortunately, after he moved the excavated mine tunnel, Yang Junshan also moved the Wutu stone and the Wutu essence stone hidden under the slag to under the slag excavated in this mining tunnel, otherwise things might become worse. Trickier.
Ding dong! Ding dong! Ding dong! ¡
Yang Junshan started mining crazily again, and the sound of the mining hoe was almost as loud as the sound of the two miners extracting ore in the mine tunnel next to him.
"One, two," Yang Junshan replaced the broken mining hoe with a new one.
Three pills, four pills, Yang Junshan gritted his teeth, threw the last Fayun Pill into his mouth and chewed one to pieces. A thick spiritual power spread out in his abdomen, and with the movement of the Wutu Spiritual Art, Circulates throughout the body.
When the fifth Wutu stone was dug out, Yang Junshan's mining hoe was broken again.
Putting on the last hoe and continuing mining, Yang Junshan finally mined out the sixth Wutu stone. Yang Junshan was exhausted at this time. The continuous and high-intensity work almost exhausted the last drop of Yang Junshan's energy.
In desperation, Yang Junshan had to slowly walk out of the mine tunnel. His walking posture was like a tiger strolling in the mountains. He was recovering from the tiger's movement in the Eight Pictures of the Tiger. At the same time, Wutu Lingjue was running, trying its best to restore the exhausted spiritual power.
We quietly came to the entrance of the mine again, and the clanking and crisp sounds of mining inside were still heard.
At this time, a voice suddenly came from the mine tunnel, saying: "Old Qin, it's been a long time, look at what has been dug out, the grade of these ores is too low, let's go, do you still want to Will you waste the whole day here?"
"Old Zhao, why don't you dig somewhere else first? I still don't believe it. Such a big pile of slag is piled here. Could it be that the person who dug the mine before was also an idiot? I have to hit this south." No wall!"
"Hey, okay, okay, I'll dig with you. That's all I'll spend today here, but we agreed that if we can't dig anything, we must change the place tomorrow"
Yang Junshan did not listen anymore, but turned around and quickly returned to the mine tunnel, continued to pick up the mining hoe and smashed the ore in front of him.
"Pfft", another sound of smashing into the air came. Yang Junshan was stunned and thought to himself: It can't be such a coincidence!
In fact, it is not only a coincidence, but also a great coincidence!
A large piece of empty stone skin was pried open, and inside was a stone cave nearly four feet high. A golden stone ball, much larger than the previous one, rolled down from the inside and was picked up by Yang Junshan. Copy it in your hand.
??Wutu Essence Stone, the second Wutu Essence Stone is in hand!
Yang Junshan came to Chu Chuang carrying a basket full of raw ore. The mouth of the bamboo basket was tied tightly by Yang Junshan, so that not a single ore inside could fall out.
Chu Chuang saw Yang Junshan's bamboo basket and said in surprise: "Brother Yang, what are you"
"Send this basket of ore intact, and I will wait for Chu Yang at the agreed place. I have put my Yang family's unique mark on this bamboo basket. As long as I get this basket of ore, I will trust you! "
