In a large basalt pit dug into the shape of a bowl, Chen Qingshan pointed to the center of the bowl: "That's right here, the thing I dug out."
The spirit-seeking rat was already scurrying back and forth in the bowl like crazy!
Scurrying and screaming at the same time!
Hu Yanlie has never seen such an excited state!
After enduring it for a long time, Hu Yanlie couldn't hold it back and asked Chen Qingshan: "How did you discover this place?"
As he spoke, Hu Yanlie looked towards Qiao Chu.
Chen Qingshan thought to himself: It is indeed so.
But there was a naive smile on his face: "My wife said that this place is farther away from them, and it is convenient for us to talk here, so we are here..."
Hu Yanlie thought to himself: It is indeed so!
Only someone with great luck like Qiao Chu can find a Yuan Jade mine just by pointing!
"You dig some more and I'll take a look." Hu Yanlie asked Chen Qingshan to dig on the spot.
Chen Qingshan literally started chipping away at the stone with his chisel and hammer.
Seeing Chen Qingshan chiseling away stones one by one, and habitually cutting them into strips, Hu Yanlie went crazy: "Ancestor, can you leave this stone alone for now?"
Chen Qingshan was also stunned: "How do you know if there is Yuan Yu inside without digging?"
Hu Yanlie was so angry that he turned around twice and finally surrendered: "Okay, okay! Go ahead! Go ahead!"
In fact, it didn’t take long, after Chen Qingshan carved out a piece of basalt flake, a strange yet familiar light immediately leaked out, as gentle as jade, but also eye-catching!
Hu Yanlie rushed forward, pulled it open and took a look: it was Yuan Yu!
It’s really Yuanyu!
Hu Yanlie wanted to look up to the sky and laugh: Hahaha!
It belongs to me!
I finally found the Yuan Jade Mine!
After calming down, Hu Yanlie looked at Chen Qingshan with bright eyes and asked: "If we dig down from here, can we still dig it?"
Chen Qingshan asked: "How would I know?"
Hu Yanlie: "..."
Also, basalt has a characteristic that blocks the prying eyes of spiritual power and Yuanli. Therefore, before digging out the Yuanyu, you don't know whether or how much Yuanyu there is underneath.
This is the main reason why the buildings in the imperial city are all built of basalt.
This is also the reason why basalt mines are in short supply all year round.
For this reason, Hu Yanlie never expected that Qiao Chu's spiritual power was so magical and could penetrate basalt.
Hu Yanlie attributed Chen Qingshan's gains to Qiao Chu's great luck, which inadvertently saved Qiao Chu a lot of trouble.
But Hu Yanlie hesitated next: Should he let Chen Qingshan continue digging? Or should he stop and wait until he reports it?
After much thought, Hu Yanlie felt that there should be more data to be more convincing.
So Hu Yanlie and Chen Qingshan discussed: "How about we dig today? How much can we dig?"
Chen Qingshan smiled naively: "Whose does this dug out belong to?"
Hu Yanlie didn't expect Chen Qingshan to ask such a question. He was stunned for a moment and said: "You can't keep this newly dug Yuan Yu. I want to take it to report to His Majesty."
"How about I exchange the same amount of yuan jade with you from my side? I will exchange it with you for the amount you dig out."
Chen Qingshan readily agreed: "Okay!"
With Hu Yanlie's promise, Chen Qingshan dug hard, much faster than before.
As the ding-ding-dong-dong sound went on, there was suddenly a "dong-dong" sound in the air.
Chen Qingshan stopped the hammer and chisel in his hands and looked at Hu Yanlie: "It's empty below, do you still want to dig?"
Hu Yanlie was stunned: Is it empty below?
Is there a cave?
A Yuan Yu mine with a cave?!
Hu Yanlie wanted to dig it up and take a look, but after thinking about it, he said, "Don't dig it up yet. Let's go back first."
On the way home, Hu Yanlie looked at the eight pieces of fresh Yuan Yu in the storage bag with mixed feelings in his heart!
In less than a day, eight pieces of yuan jade were dug... The storage capacity of this yuan jade mine should be huge!
But it’s hard to say how many there will be in the end.
We won't know how many there are until the underground cave is dug.
But before that...
Hu Yanlie gritted his teeth: "Brother Qingshan, after we go home soon, I will borrow your horse to go to the state capital. You must remember to keep it secret."
"Okay." Chen Qingshan was already happy.
When Hu Yanlie returned to Feishi Village the next day, the sun was already three in the sky.
"Brother Qingshan, Mrs. Chen, shall we go to the mine together?" Hu Yanlie greeted the two of them and set off together.
Qiao Chu and Chen Qingshan looked at each other and knew what measures Hu Yanlie had taken, so they nodded and followed.
When we arrived at the place where we were yesterday, we discovered that today the quarry was surrounded by officers and soldiers from the state capital!
A general trotted up to Hu Yanlie and saluted respectfully: "General, we are all surrounded. What should we do next?"
Hu Yanlie waved his hand, Qiao Chu and Chen Qingshan followed, and Meng Hu also followed excitedly.
With such a big battle, there must be something big going on!
But the general said yesterday that if he seizes this opportunity, he might still have a chance to return to the military camp!
When he arrived at the place where a big hole was dug, Meng Hu was stunned for a moment: What? Right here?
Hu Yanlie pointed to this place: "Enclose this place and cover it with a long high curtain. No one can look inside without orders."
"Yes!" the general agreed, and the soldiers immediately spread out the curtains prepared in advance to prepare for the encirclement.
The village chief Bai Guili and others who arrived earlier have been driven away. Now seeing that the place is surrounded, they all want to ask Chen Qingshan about the situation.
Naturally, Chen Qingshan couldn't say anything first. He only said: "Brothers, don't be impatient for now. Something has happened. Let's investigate first and then talk about it."
Bai Guili dared to ask again: with so many soldiers dispatched, it must not be a minor situation, so he could only wait anxiously.
Qiao Chu thought for a while and simply said: "How about you go back today? We will definitely not be able to dig here today. We will discuss it with you when we go back tonight."
When Bai Guili heard this and looked at the tight security, he could only nod his head and lead the suspicious and worried men back first.
After the encirclement was completed, the general, Meng Hu, Chen Qingshan and his wife, and Hu Yanlie stood at the bottom of the pit.
Hu Yanlie said to Chen Qingshan in a deep voice: "Let's dig it!"
"Okay." Chen Qingshan took out the chisel and hammer and began to chisel at the place where the sound was heard yesterday.
After a while, there was a clanging sound inside, which was the sound of stones falling into the water: there is water below.
Chen Qingshan chiseled a few more times to enlarge the hole. The sound of rocks entering the water was heard. Chen Qingshan signaled to Hu Yanlie: "That's it."
Hu Yanlie was just thinking about how to get down when the spirit-seeking mouse Xiao Lu was already like lightning, squeaking and scurrying down!
Hu Yanlie was shocked: This little thing doesn't seem to be able to handle water, so don't get drowned if you turn around!
"Get down quickly!" Hu Yanlie only had time to say before jumping down himself.
Chen Qingshan and Qiao Chu looked at each other and jumped down.
Meng Hu and the general looked at each other: Do you want to go down?
The generals have gone down, is it appropriate for me not to go down?
Get off!
So they both gritted their teeth and jumped down!
When the two of them went down and looked at everything in front of them, they were stunned with shock...
The second update is here, and there will be a third update later.
