Chapter 60: Sending You a Mine (2)
The demon fox Hongyue had always been at Jin Ling's feet, just greedily breathing the breath around his body. At this time, following him back to the smallest mine, she started to scream.
"What's the matter, little one?"
"Squeak~squeak~" The demon fox circled around the deserted mine several times, its screams gradually getting louder, and its movements a little eager.
Ever since he became his immortal pet, something like this had never happened before, which made Jin Ling feel surprised.
"Don't you think this smallest mine is interesting?" Jin Ling looked at this place carefully again, but didn't find anything unusual compared to other mines.
Hongyue's front paws vigorously patted the uneven ground under her feet.
Jin Ling understood, "You mean, after comparing so many mines, this one is better, right?"
Hongyue nodded.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." This guy's breath is very sensitive and his intelligence is powerful. Jin Ling thinks he can trust it for once.
When the time agreed upon by Lei Su came, people from all parties gradually returned to the entrance of the mine, discussing and discussing.
"Are you sure?" Gu Shaogang asked.
"If you are serious and insist on giving me a mine, then I will accept it reluctantly." The young man said, "I choose mine No. 16."
"Isn't that the smallest, cheapest, and least favored one?" Gu Shaogang was stunned, "Boy, you really don't need to save money for me. I will ask Gu Jia's parents for this money later."
"It doesn't matter." Jin Ling said, "I don't understand anyway. Rather than doing this, it's better to save some money."
"Okay, it's up to you." Gu Shaogang said.
Everyone took carriages and returned to Black Rock Immortal Township, where they sat down in the meeting hall of the village lord's mansion.
"Let me talk about the process first." Lei Su said, "Whoever chooses the mine will report the number to me and deliver the gold coins within ten days. Then the village head's office will issue the mining contract, and the mine will officially change hands.
If there are several people who like a mine at the same time, they will be disposed of according to the bidding, and the one with the highest price will get it. Since this is originally the property of the village master's mansion, the village master's mansion will dispatch four people in the seven-hole mine.
Immortals are on duty to maintain the safety of the mine and to prevent anyone from fishing in troubled waters and taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble."
Not many people really make up their minds on the spot, and many people have to go back and think twice.
"Young Master Gu, which one did you choose?" Jin Ling asked.
"No. 4, with a radius of 110 feet, a height of 17 feet, 890,000." Gu Shaogang frowned slightly. Apparently, he felt that the price was too high.
"Are you sure you can dig the veins?" Jin Ling asked.
"It's hard to say." Gu Shaogang said, "The investment is also very large. But Mr. Dong said that at least the capital can be preserved." As he said, he took out five jade cards that were full of gold and color, "These are the jade cards commonly used by the Shang family bank in the kingdom.
You can withdraw 10,000 gold yuan for each coin at Shang's Bank. Later, you can deliver it directly at the village head's mansion and get the mining contract. I still have to discuss it with the Gu family."
"Okay." Jin Ling accepted the five jade tickets and went to find Lei Su. Since the value was not high and it was a cash transaction, half an hour later, all the transfer procedures were completed and he got the mining deed. No. 16
The owner of the mine is now Jin Ling.
"Young Master Gu, 30% of my income belongs to you." Jin Ling said seriously.
"If you think it's okay, then okay." Gu Shaogang said casually, and he didn't take it to heart at all. Mine No. 16 was the smallest and had the shortest development time. The original excavator just gave up if he felt there was no profit. He felt,
Jin Ling's most important purpose in choosing this cheapest mine was to save money for himself and Gu Jia.
Buying a mine in Black Rock Fairyland was a complete accident and was not at all part of the purpose of Jin Ling's trip. So far, he has been here for several days and has no control over the affairs of Caoxiang Hall.
.
Put the mining deed into the Najie, lead Hongyue, and return to Mine No. 16. The mine is now empty except for the guards outside. You only need to show the contract to enter smoothly.
"Can you confirm again, is there fine iron in this mine?" he asked Hongyue.
"Squeak. Squeak." Hongyue replied, with an affirmative expression.
The young man found a place and carefully observed the stone walls of the mine. They were all ordinary black hard rocks, with no trace of refined iron at all.
He closed his eyes slightly, pressed his hand against the wall, and activated his thoughts. The golden power on the black bracelet seeped into the mine wall like a tide, spreading and searching in all directions. The range of exploration of those powers is limited, and the maximum is no more than ten feet.
Despite the distance, nothing was found.
Could it be that the concentrated iron ore is hidden deeper underground? Could it be that you have to buy a hoe for the concentrated iron ore and dig out stones all day long? With this thought in mind, he pulled out his dagger and started trying.
Start digging.
The Wild Goose Short Sword is much sharper than the ordinary fine iron sword, but the stone of these mine walls is too hard. After digging for a while, it was only half a foot deep. I was afraid of hurting the sword, so I stopped.
.
No wonder mining concentrated iron ore requires a lot of manpower and material costs. This is really too hard.
Looking again, it turned out that all the equipment and tools in the mine had been removed long ago, and nothing handy was left behind.
The village master's mansion in Black Rock Immortal Township is too stingy. Jin Ling cursed and thought about what useful things he had in his Najie.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his head, and he took out a fire thunder. This fire thunder was no more than the size of a fist, and it was filled with a delayed fuse for immortal power, as well as some fire crystal powder. He didn't know that there was so much fire.
No matter how powerful the crystal powder is, let's test it here. In the world in the dream, it's not like I have never done anything like breaking up mountains and blasting rocks.
He put the red moon into the space of the black bracelet and the white beads, found a sunken stone wall, and painstakingly dug a deep hole with a dagger, just the right size for the fire thunder.
Putting away the sword, looking at the retreat position, and then holding the fire thunder, a large amount of immortal power instantly poured in, directly stuffed into the deep hole. Then, the immortal power in the whole body suddenly moved, and the person was like an arrow leaving the string.
Generally, exit the mine entrance and run outward along the mine tunnel.
The blocking time of this delay device was about three seconds, and it was something he was very familiar with in the dream world. It only took a second or two to exit the hole.
Then.......
"boom!"
An earth-shaking loud noise exploded in the mine. A huge shock wave erupted from the mine with a large amount of gravel. Even though Jin Ling's immortal power was fully activated and he had retreated more than ten feet away from the entrance of the cave, he was still caught.
The huge impact force pushed it forward, flew a long distance out of thin air, and fell heavily to the ground.
At the same time, there was a sharp pain on his back, and the Xianli defense was broken by several fine iron projectile shrapnel, which directly penetrated into the flesh of his back.
Fortunately, with the blockage of the body-protecting immortal power and the longer distance, the force of these projectiles and shrapnel was reduced and they only damaged his flesh.
"Yeah, it's so powerful. It seems that the fire crystal powder was used too much. It should be reduced by at least half." Jin Ling spat out blood. The power of the shock wave caused by the explosion also shocked his heart.
Fortunately, it's not serious.
"what happened?"
"what sound?"
The two mine guard immortals were shaken by the tremor so much that their ears were ringing, their footing was unstable, and their hearts were pounding. After they calmed down for a while, they followed the sound. After entering the mine tunnel and walking forward for a distance, they saw something coming from the ground.
Jin Ling got up with difficulty, his back was covered in blood and he was covered in dust.
"Two, two brothers, I, I don't know what happened... I was about to go in when I heard something wrong, so I ran back quickly. Before I could even take two steps, the mine collapsed...
....."
"This mine is filled with solid black rocks, how could it suddenly collapse? Moreover, if the mine collapses, there can't be such a loud noise..." The two guards couldn't believe it.
The stone dust gradually dispersed, and they saw that the entrance to Mine No. 16 was blocked by large and small gravels. Seeing this, they had no choice but to believe Jin Ling's statement.
"There are four of us immortals guarding this mine now, with two people in each shift." A guard helped Jin Ling up and saw that except for the injury on his back, he looked good and moved neatly, "So
, if you want to heal your wounds, you can only go back to the fairyland by yourself."
