Qinling in October, autumn is high and cool, the scenery is pleasant, Qinling is also called Nanshan, Zhongnan Mountain, it is the holy mountain of Taoism since ancient times, the blessed land of immortals, the scenery is naturally beautiful, and the people who come here to travel are also endless.

In the depths of the Qinling Mountains, a group of people carrying large bags and small bags were in a steep valley at this time, looking at a black cave in front of them.

Standing in front was a thin old man in his sixties, who said to a young man of twenty-five or sixteen beside him, "Did Xiao Yang see anything?"

Yang Ling shook his head, turned to look at Taniguchi and said: "There is nothing special to find, no special age markers have been found, and the surrounding damage is too bad, it is really difficult to judge at the moment, but according to some traces of the scene, there should be no problem with an ancient mine cave!"

The old man's face twitched a few times, and he sighed, "It's all a good thing done by the Cultural Relics Bureau and the museum!" Last month, the local government heard that the mountain people who went up the mountain to collect medicine said that they had found an ancient cave and found a few broken pottery shards and dishes, so they sent people to observe, and by the way, they also reported the matter to the Cultural Relics Bureau, and the Cultural Relics Bureau arranged for an archaeological team from the museum to investigate, and the local town government in order to show their enthusiasm, so they found a few people to get rid of the weeds and stones in this valley, and by the way, they leveled the ground, and even repaired the hole, so it became what it is now. ”

Yang Ling was speechless after hearing this, and a few black lines appeared on his head, "Did the archaeological team find anything?"

"I heard that they were also very angry, and they looked at it casually for two days, and they didn't find anything valuable, so they picked up a bunch of pottery shards and went back, I only heard about this last week, and the results of their research were very complicated, and there were all kinds of pottery shards of the mess, the farthest was the early Song Dynasty, and the latest was the Republic of China period, and the minerals were measured, that is, copper ore, that's, that's it!" Professor Cui handed a stone in his hand to Yang Ling.

Yang Ling took it and looked at it a few times, this is chalcopyrite, but it seems that the copper content is very high, almost like a copper block, and he couldn't help but ask with some surprise: "Professor Cui, is this raw ore? Why does it look so high?"

Professor Cui shook his head, "I have been engaged in geological research all my life, and I also know a lot about minerals, the general copper ore content is about 1%, and the compound index of high ore purity is 60% to 70%, which is almost invisible, the pure copper content of this ore is basically more than 80%, and in ancient times, it can be directly minted by digging it out, but it seems that there is no trace of smelting, which is incomprehensible!"

Yang Ling nodded, looking at the copper ore in his hand is also confused, if it is really the original ore, it is simply a miracle in nature, generally speaking, copper is not gold and silver, it is easy to oxidize in the natural environment, and then react with other substances in nature, and finally become a lump of stone containing copper elements, it will definitely not be like the pure gold body of dog's head gold, it seems that this mine is worth studying, he looked at his mobile phone and said: "Professor Cui, it's still early, why don't we go in first and have a look?"

Professor Cui looked up at the sky and called out to a student to give a few words, and the two of them bent down into the cave one after the other with flashlights and pickaxes, leaving only a group of students chattering outside.

The two of them walked forward about two hundred meters with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and two forks appeared in front of them

"Let's go, the archaeological team has inspected it several times last month, and there is basically no danger inside, the two of us are on one side, Xiao Yang, you are a graduate of archaeology, and you work in the Bureau of Geology and Mining, and your experience is much richer than these little rabbit cubs, I hope you can find something! Also, pay attention to safety!"

After Professor Cui finished speaking, he went to the mine on the left, and Yang Ling watched the halo gradually disappear into the cave, and then he walked into the cave on the right with his waist bent. The cave is very dark, within the range of the flashlight light pillar, the cave is basically no different from the outside, because there is no measuring rope, Yang Ling does not know how far he walked, and he did not stay much along the way, almost more than 20 minutes later, the front of the light pillar seemed to shine on the cave wall, he couldn't help but speed up his pace, but he didn't expect to kick on a protruding stone, fell forward, and hit the cave wall solidly! He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his forehead, sat up dizzily and touched it, his hands were sticky.

Yang Ling picked up the flashlight depressedly and looked at it, and sure enough, his hands were full of blood, so he quickly pulled out a pack of disinfectant tissues from his backpack and wiped it a few times, and then turned out a few band-aids and pasted them on his forehead.

Grandma's legs! If you don't play cards according to the rules, you will really be punished.

He leaned on the cave wall to rest for a while, felt better before getting up, used a flashlight to shine around, and saw that there was a sharp stone protruding from the place where he had just hit, so he angrily smashed it with a mine pickaxe a few times, "bang" a few times, an angular stone rolled down from the cave wall, and shimmered slightly blue under the light of the flashlight,

Yang Ling picked up the stone curiously, the stone was the size of an egg, it turned out to be a regular diamond-shaped, the surface was smooth, I don't know what material it belonged to, there were some blood stains on it, it seemed to be left by the broken head, under the strong light of the flashlight, the stone emitted a misty blue light, and then take a closer look, it seems that there are a few black marks inside, forming the appearance of a small house.

Yang Ling couldn't help but be overjoyed, he engaged in archaeology and geological and mineral research, he had seen a lot of rare minerals, he had never seen this kind of thing, this time it can be described as a blessing in disguise, maybe it was a great treasure, he had to study it first, and when he was looking closely, the blue light on the stone suddenly trembled, "poof" A sound of the stone turned into powder in his hand, and the air in the stone room rippled like water waves, and before he could react, he only felt that suddenly his eyes were dark, and when he regained his vision, the place he saw was completely different, and it seemed that he was no longer in the cave just now, and he was suddenly dumbfounded.

This is a small square yard, about the size of a basketball court, surrounded by bright light, a stone house that looks tattered against the courtyard wall, in the center of the yard seems to be an ancient well, the stone well has collapsed in half, a big tree more than ten meters high by the well, but it has long been dead, there are some stones scattered on the ground, it seems that no one has been here for hundreds of years, the outside of the yard is misty like a thick fog, and nothing can be seen.

"What the hell is this place?"

He rubbed his eyes vigorously and pinched himself to make sure it wasn't a dream.

After standing for about two minutes, making sure that he had arrived in another place, Yang Ling walked towards the stone house, there were some stones scattered on the ground, he picked it up casually and looked at it, it turned out to be a piece of copper ore, and then picked up a few pieces, there are always six or seven different ores in the forest of iron ore, tin ore, and lead ore, which are basically ores with high content, and the strange thing is that they appeared in the same place, he felt more and more weird, until he walked into the stone house, and then he noticed the scene in the room.

The house is made of rough stones naturally, the roof is also a few large stone slabs, the light is very dim, Yang Ling turned on the flashlight, the room was empty, but there was a futon in the center, he slowly walked to the front of the futon, lifted the futon with his hand, who knew that it was broken into several pieces, and a silver metal card fell to the ground with a bang.

Yang Ling couldn't help but be overjoyed, and finally found out a little, and took it in his hand to look carefully, this is a silver metal card, with a small hole above, wearing a thin metal chain, like a dog tag worn by a soldier, one side of the metal card is secretly engraved with a string of strange symbols, and the other side is in the center of two regular script Chinese characters: Chen Lu.

Yang Ling is very familiar with this name, and there is only one celebrity named Chen Tuo in Chinese history, that is, a Taoist legend who circulated during the late Tang Dynasty and early Song Dynasty, known as the ancestor of Chen Tuo, who was called the sleeping fairy, he was so excited that he almost urinated, it was a fairy figure, if it was really something he left behind, wouldn't he be a big deal!

After looking at it several times, Yang Ling remembered the strangeness of this place, and felt that if it was really something left by Chen Jun's ancestor, there might be other clues around, so he took the flashlight and looked around, and inadvertently saw that there was handwriting on the stone slab ground under the futon, and he was suddenly excited.

"My name is Chen Xuan, the road number Fuyaozi, get a divine object overseas, the wonder of this thing is indescribable, Yu Ping's life has never seen it, at the beginning, I benefited a lot, and then at the end of my life, I was vigilant, this thing is a tumor in the world, like the devil of all evil, if you use it, it will destroy the foundation of my country, damage the spiritual veins of the world, leave a calamity, and the eternal life can not be restored, this thing cannot be destroyed, I will seal it in the boundary stone, abandon it in the south, if the people of the future generations find it, do not open, remember!

Yang Ling grabbed his scalp and squatted on the ground to read it, it was both a fetish and a tumor, could it be that he was referring to the metal card in his hand?

While thinking about it, the metal card in his hand suddenly emitted a white light, projecting a half-foot square light curtain in the air, on which a line of Chinese characters appeared: The miner system is being reinitialized. Then a few lines of words followed;

Binding: Longxi people;

Level: Miner Apprentice;

Civilization Level: 2;

Then, the metal card revealed a ray of light and swept towards Yang Ling, Yang Ling suddenly felt that his body was out of control, and his mind was in a trance, only to see the light curtain appear "Holder: Yang Ling", and then, the light curtain began to roll like a few jù flowing water, and finally a line of words jumped out: "Initializing the survival assistance ......"
