688 Chen Ang calculated to seize the gold mine and went down to the mine to find the soul
(688 Chen Ang calculates to seize the gold mine, and goes down the mine to find the soul)
Of course, the shares of the jade palace in the gold mine were not taken for nothing. The Jade Palace not only has to clean up the gold and other strange creatures that appear underground, but also has to be responsible for the security of the entire gold mine from now on, preventing thieves, bandits, and so on that may attack the gold mine.
In addition to inviting those business tycoons to witness, Song Xiangyi also sent the invitation to Feijian Hall. After all, as long as it is a chamber of commerce in the same state mining, there is more or less the shadow of Jindeyuan behind it. And the mining of this area is the responsibility of the Flying Sword Hall of Jindeyuan.
The people from the Flying Sword Hall did not come as promised, obviously because they had a great deal of guilt in their hearts.
If Feijian Tang was willing to accept these three percent, Song Xiangyi would definitely not be able to ask for it. But Feijiantang didn't want 30%, but 10%, but was only willing to pay 30% of the price.
Although the Jade Palace took 30% without the price of 10%, if Song Xiangyi could still start work normally, the remaining 70% of the income would not only allow him to earn back his capital, but also make a lot of profits. If he followed the practice of the Five Elements Sect, he would not even have a way to live. It's not a matter of whether it's a good deal or not, it's a matter of life and death.
"Hmph, Song Xiangyi is afraid that he is impatient!"
When Xue You received the invitation letter and handed it to Chen Ang, he couldn't help but snort. But after seeing it, the hall master Chen Ang was not too surprised, just took a sip of tea with a pleasant face, and then looked at Xue You, who was on fire, with a light smile in the eyes of "the young man is still too impatient".
Xue You obviously wouldn't think about it from Song Xiangyi's point of view. His only thought was that someone had found a mine in Tongzhou, but he was unwilling to sell it to the Five Elements Sect? The base camp of the Five Elements Sect in Tongzhou City had only been a mine that the Five Elements Sect did not want since ancient times, and there was no mine that the Five Elements Sect could not buy. Xiang Song Xiangyi took such a risk, but he was really tired of it.
The Song family's silk business in Jinzhou is indeed prosperous, and the business has reached the whole country and even overseas. But the Song family is not a thousand-year-old sect like the Five Elements Sect, and the background is far behind. What's more, Tongzhou is not the territory of the Song family, and they have no reason to be arrogant at all.
"Song Ruhai, the true disciple of the Jade Palace, is his son. It's normal to go into battle or a father and son soldier. But this contract can only be meaningful if Song Xiangyi can start work normally. If you can't start working, what's the use of a good agreement?"
After speaking, Chen Ang wiped the black goatee on his chin, and his eyes flashed: "Millennial Golden Spirit? Isn't that old madman who has been in retreat for decades looking for a thousand-year-old golden spirit for many years." You can do this......"
"Although Senior Brother's strategy is feasible," Xue You whispered back a little hesitantly, "Huo Yun's strength is not bad now, if he confronts that madman and causes trouble, I'm afraid that I won't be able to hold it alone by then." ”
"You can rest assured. Chen Ang smiled confidently, "Huo Yun, as the true elder of the Jade Palace, can still sit in the mine all day. In a few days, he will go back to the Jade Palace, and it will not be too late for you to start. At most, after half a month, the surname Song will obediently beg us to take over the entire gold mine. When the time comes, the price can be pressed again. ”
After Chen Ang finished explaining a bunch of things to Xue You, he asked about his plan to take Murong Qing as an apprentice. Speaking of this, Xue You said angrily:
"That fat woman doesn't know what's wrong. I sent my senior brother's letter, and she only read it once and threw it back, and laughed at my Flying Sword Hall's swordsmanship. The villain is rampant!"
The smile on Chen Ang's face was already a little stiff. But when he thought about it, it was not strange that this Jade Palace disciple rejected his personal inheritance. After Tang Su left the Jade Palace to join the Five Elements Sect, the Jade Palace must have strengthened the envelope of the genius disciples under his hand.
But a young swordsman who didn't even arrive at the Purple Mansion was not so much that he despised the swordsmanship of his "Flying Sword Peerless" Chen Ang.
This reply that provoked his anger was most likely due to Xue You's kid adding fuel and vinegar. Xue You was reluctant to receive another genius disciple by himself. This deputy hall master was thinking too much, and it was obviously inappropriate for him to pass on this message. It seems that if you want to recruit a good apprentice, you still have to do it yourself.
Chen Ang was not mistaken, Huo Yun returned to Jinzhou a few days after signing the contract. Not only that, Lian Ling also said to Gou Zhu that he would go to Tongzhou to find a few teachers and friends who had not seen him for many years, and then he took Lin Meier and the nineteenth out and disappeared.
In Song Xiangyi's gold mine, only four young disciples remained: Song Ruhai, Gou Xu, Murong Qing and Huang Lu. Not only did they have to get rid of the millennium, but they also had to make sure that the mine was back up and running as soon as possible. It's not an easy task.
Song Xiangyi's deliberately high-profile signing ceremony with Jade Palace played a role, and the matter immediately spread widely. Now that the Xuanmen Taoist Temple has been adopted, the concerns of the miners and masters about the safety of the mine have almost been swept away. In addition, Song Xiangyi was in a hurry to start work, and the salary offered was very expensive, and soon the miners who came to defect broke through the door.
The recruitment of miners was busy, and Song Xiangyi was too busy to do so, so he could only call Song Ruhai to help. Huang Lu would rather do chores for Young Master Song than go to the mine. Therefore, the only people who could go down the mine to capture the thousand-year-old golden spirit were Gou Zhu and Murong Qing.
Finding gold is an obligation to Gou. It is said that the value of a golden spirit is worth enough to be worth 10,000 taels of gold, and this thing is hard to find. Song Xiangyi had already said that whoever could take this golden spirit away would be anyone's.
Unlike a shady underground cavern, the further down the shaft goes, the hotter it gets, and the temperature gradually increases. About ten feet underground, it was already as hot as midsummer. At this time, it is obviously the season of early spring.
It's not a hassle for Hook Punishment. He unfolded the Xuanying Cold Domain slightly, and the cold aura covered him, Murong Qing, and the master who led the way. Murong Qing was already sweating profusely from the heat. At this time, a chill hit her, which made her inevitably shiver.
"Get up here. The master pointed to a potholed and dilapidated wooden platform. Gou Zhu had no choice but to stand up, and a squeaky sound came from under his feet. The wooden platform was actually suspended in the air, with a huge pulley overhead, and a wrist-thick iron cable hanging the wooden platform from the top of a shaft that was unknown how deep.
Murong Qing cautiously walked onto the wooden platform. Although her steps were deliberately light, there was a series of violent shaking that matched her weight throughout the wooden platform. Gou Zhu couldn't help but worry about whether this lifting platform could withstand it.
After seeing the two of them get on the wooden platform, the old master himself did not come up, and skillfully turned the mechanism on the side, and a crisp sound of twisting iron cables came from the top of the cave.
"Wait, you're not going down?" Gou Zhu hurriedly asked.
"Ahem," the old man shook his head, his hands not stopping at all, "how dare I go down." There were already eight dead people down there, all of them chopped up, not even a single whole. The old man said in a dazzling voice.
"Then how am I going to come up later?"
"When you get to the bottom, you can pull this rope. As soon as the bell rings, I'll pull you up. ”
As he spoke, the old master moved his hand with great speed, and soon sank the two young monks into the almost impenetrable darkness of the shaft. I can't see it at all. It wasn't until almost half an hour later that there was a clatter in the deep darkness, the sound of the lifting platform finally hitting the ground.
The miners gradually returned to work, but only above this shaft. Beneath this shaft is a deep well of death for them. Unless that golden spirit is really removed, no one will dare to go down at all.
It was under that that the real gold ore was found.
After the hook was cut to the end, he put a night pearl on the crown of his head, and he barely saw the surrounding environment clearly. The walls of the pit are pitch-black rock, and the ravines are covered with ravines, which can be chiseled by the miners over the years. It's just that these traces are very old, and I am estimated to be thousands of years old.
There are many holes here, and I don't know how many years people have been digging here. But in the past, copper ore was produced here, and there was no gold spirit. They must have dug up something new and touched the gold ore vein, so that they would provoke such an existence as the thousand-year-old golden spirit.
The ore deep underground, if you want to talk about history, I don't know how many billions of years old. Crystal seeds that are extremely precious to Xuanmen may be generated underground, such as the two-color crystal seed he used when refining the Void Pill, and the geocentric crystal seed that Huang Lu accidentally obtained.
But as long as no human has ever arrived, it is impossible to generate spirits. Otherwise, who can withstand the power of a spirit that has been around for hundreds of millions of years at every turn?
Only natural things that are dyed by popularity will gradually generate spirits. The fact that millennium gold can be produced here means that there were miners here thousands of years ago. It's just that they didn't happen to find the gold vein, and there are people coming and going nearby, so that the gold vein can be safely bred in the vein for thousands of years.
Since Gou Zhu is here, of course, he has done his homework in advance. The strength of a thousand-year-old golden spirit is not strong, and it does not have much spirituality. The question is only how to find it.
He had a map, but it didn't match the black mines he saw.
He carefully followed the new marks of entry and exit on the ground, the ore debris left along the way. Since the miners have only recently discovered the gold veins, these relatively recent traces must have led to the area of the gold veins.
The breadth of the underground is beyond Gou's imagination. Millennial excavations have left a cobweb-like cave here. Gou Zhu had to leave a lot of markers along the road, which corresponded to the markings on the map one by one to avoid getting lost. Murong Qing followed closely behind him.
"Wow, gold! it's all gold!" Murong Qing suddenly pointed ahead and shouted in a low voice with a tremble.
