After Yi Mingxue finished speaking, she dove into the hole.

Thanks to her persistence in exercising during this period, she has become much slimmer to the naked eye.

Otherwise, she might not be able to get through the hole made by the wood.

As soon as she entered the cave, she felt a fishy smell coming towards her face.

Immediately afterwards, there was heavy moisture.

If you listen carefully, you can still hear the faint sound of dripping water.

After walking several steps further inside, the cave became pitch black and nothing could be seen.

Yi Mingxue took out the fire stick, and the dim light source ignited the darkness.

The flames swayed back and forth twice, until Yi Mingxue reached out to block it, and then stabilized.

There is wind, which means there is an exit on the other side of the cave.

If the fire can ignite, it means there is oxygen in the cave.

Yi Mingxue touched the smooth rock wall again, and her tentacles were wet.

It seems that there is an underground river inside the mountain.

Such a mountainous landform can easily breed something.

Something worth as much as gold in today's dynasty.

Thinking of this possibility, Yi Mingxue slowed down.

She took out a gas mask from the space and put it on.

Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the eventuality.

A dark hole like this, which has been formed for who knows how many thousands of years, must have been sealed for many years and can easily form toxic gases.

From ancient times to the present, special methods have to be used to purify before mining.

Although Yi Mingxue was a little excited about this discovery, she was not so hot-headed as to risk her life.

After doing the protective work, Yi Mingxue walked deeper for about a stick of incense.

Only then did we finally reach the end of the cave.

It was a larger arched hall, about twenty meters high.

There is a quiet pool in the center of the cave. Although it does not look deep and the water flow is very calm, no one knows whether there is a dangerous underground river at the bottom of the river.

And right above the water pool, there is actually a huge mountain crevice half a person wide.

Sunlight pours in from the gaps, forming a rare line of sky.

It is truly a miraculous work of nature!

Yi Mingxue glanced around and immediately found some digging tools scattered in the corner of the hall.

On the mountain wall on the side, traces of manual excavation are clearly visible.

Yi Mingxue quickly walked over and took a look. There were pieces of raw mineral stone exposed at the entrance, with red and brown lines on it.

It is clearly a high-quality hematite mine!

Yi Mingxue put her hand on the ore, then closed her eyes and released her spiritual power to explore.

As a result, you won’t know if you don’t explore it, but you will be shocked if you explore it!

Unexpectedly, there is such a large hematite mine hidden under the main peak that Fengyun Town has relied on for hundreds of years.

But why is this not mentioned in the original book?

Judging from the traces of excavation, it seems that someone would come intermittently to dig for some ore to sell.

The scale is not large and it should be done by one person.

So, is this the reason why Uncle Wang is unwilling to move out of the rear house?

She said that the Wang family was a little strange. They usually occupied the house to extort money.

But this matter has been going on for so long, and Uncle Wang has never mentioned asking her for money once.

After figuring out the key, Yi Mingxue couldn't help laughing.

The old man is paralyzed at home now. If she knew that the iron ore she had hidden for half her life like a treasure had been accidentally picked up and leaked.

I was just afraid that I would be pissed to death on the spot.

After figuring out what was hidden here, Yi Mingxue quickly turned around and walked back.

This is undoubtedly a golden mountain, but it is not suitable for exposure at present.

Once such a large-scale iron ore is exposed, it will be immediately taken away by the court.

When the time comes, as the excavator, she will be rewarded at most one hundred and eighty taels. Then, this Golden Mountain will have nothing to do with her anymore.

This is also the reason why uncle Wang has been reluctant to make the secret public.

Fortunately, Yi Mingxue knows the future world situation.

Five years later, the world was in chaos.

Heroes from all walks of life will rise together, and all forces will begin to compete for cities, food and land.

So fighting for weapons does not require weapons? And forging weapons does not require iron?

This is undoubtedly a trump card, and the trump card must come at the most critical moment.

…

Yi Mingxue went in for about half an hour.

Carpenter Wang had been waiting anxiously outside. When he saw her coming out, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, you came out. If you don't see anyone again, I will have to ask someone to go in and look for you."

Yi Mingxue smiled at him, "It's okay, it's just that the hole is a bit deep, and it took a little more time to explore it."

"What's in the cave?" Carpenter Wang asked casually without thinking too much.

Naturally, Yi Mingxue couldn't tell the truth, so she lied casually and said, "It's nothing, it's just an ordinary cave. Uncle Wang, please go ahead and I'll go find some bricks to fill the hole."

Carpenter Wang didn't think any more, but pulled Yi Mingxue to show her his new discovery.

"Look at this wall, although it has been smashed now, it turns out to be a machine hole that can control the switch."

I saw Carpenter Wang kicking aside a floor tile, revealing a ring inside.

He lifted the ring upwards, and the wall with a hole in it rotated.

It's obviously a secret door.

"Hey——" It seems that Uncle Wang has put a lot of thought into it.

Yi Mingxue quickly looked around and found that there was no one else except herself and Carpenter Wang.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This mechanism is really clever."

Unexpectedly, Carpenter Wang rarely showed a hint of disdain after hearing this.

"It's just an ordinary trick, not clever enough."

Yi Mingxue: "..."

To you craftsmen, I am just a country bumpkin who has never seen the world.

Before Yi Mingxue could speak, Carpenter Wang spoke again.

"Da Ya, can you let me change this trick?"

Yi Mingxue: "How do you want to change it?"

Carpenter Wang held his chin and thought carefully for a while, "I haven't touched this technique for a long time, so I can't say for the moment. But it is definitely more subtle and clever than his original one."

When Yi Mingxue heard this, she felt that it was exactly what she wanted and immediately agreed.

But in order to prevent the cave from being discovered, she asked Carpenter Wang to work alone and lock the door at all times.

She was worried that Carpenter Wang would find out the clues, and she made a special excuse that she was afraid that Uncle Wang's family would cause trouble.

As a result, she discovered that Carpenter Wang was focused on the mechanism and didn't care about the cave at all.

Yi Mingxue: "..." I am worrying too much.

…

Time flies by very quickly, and in a blink of an eye it’s the beginning of February.

All things are revived, and the spring breeze is like shearing.

The most important spring plowing season for rural people has arrived again.

As for what to plant in Dongshan this year, Li Cong has never made up his mind.

During this period, he stayed at Yi Mingxue's house every day, waiting for her to come back and make the decision.

And he was not the only one squatting in Yi Mingxue's home.

Among them were two familiar faces, Li Xianglao and Zhang Xianglao, who had met Yi Mingxue once.
