[Crossing] The swordsmith of the god of immortality

Su Shaobai stood at the door for a while before he straightened up again and followed Du Wen in.

The stone steps of the mine are in a spiral shape and gradually extend downwards in the longitudinal direction.After walking through the first turn, every few steps, there will be an oval entrance on their right hand side, which is the ore vein dug horizontally into the cave wall.Miners are free to choose mine veins to enter at will, as long as they are not filled with people.Su Shaobai looked inside curiously, and it looked similar to the outside, as far as he could see, it looked like snow and ice.He shivered subconsciously, even though the temperature in the mine was actually only slightly cool.

Occasionally, he would come across a dark entrance, and Du Wen told him that the veins that had not been illuminated by fluorite were mines that had been exhausted.In addition, about every twenty entrances, a yellow door will appear on the left hand side.That's the toilet for the miners.

To save trouble, many miners casually drilled into a vein of mine after walking for a long time.However, Su Shaobai walked down the passage with all his heart, except for looking at the two openings out of curiosity at the beginning, he never stopped at all.After the two incense sticks passed, there were only three or five people left in the mine passage, and he and Du Wen were always at the forefront.

"Where are you going?" Du Wen finally couldn't help asking, he wanted to take Su Shaobai to the mine vein he often entered, and saw that the child had been walking down firmly, but when he passed by there, he didn't open his eyes open your mouth.However, now that they had walked a long way along the passage, Su Shaobai was still under the wind, and Du Wen suddenly realized that this child had never entered the mine at all, so he was just walking around, right?

Su Shaobai was also stunned, he scratched his head embarrassingly, "Isn't the grade of the flame stone higher the lower the vein?"

"Stupid boy." Du Wen was amused by him, pointed his rough finger at Du Wen and couldn't help shaking his head.Only then did Su Shaobai know that the grade of the flame stone has nothing to do with the location of the vein.

Su Shaobai, who was still about to rush down, immediately stopped, and pulled Du Wen into the nearest entrance embarrassedly.

Not far behind them, two black figures whispered to each other, shook their heads, and flashed into another vein after a while.

The fluorite in the veins, the light will be slightly darker than the outside, and the eyes will be more comfortable.The mine that Su Shaobai and the others entered is not deep, and the furthest point is only six to seventy meters away from the entrance, and there is no one else in it now.The inside of the vein is gourd-shaped, divided into two holes, one large and one small, and the mouth of the gourd is the entrance where they are standing at the moment.

Clusters of transparent spar are like flowers, blooming endlessly on the snow-white stone wall.Coupled with the light emitted by the two fluorites floating in the air, the light and shadow are overlapping, like a dream.

"Uncle Du, why are all the flame stones here transparent?" Su Shaobai looked around and asked strangely.He has only seen two pieces of flame stones, one is the white grade from Jiang's yard, and the other is the red grade just now.These clusters of crystal stones in front of me, from the shape, should undoubtedly be flame stones, but they are transparent, and obviously do not belong to any of the eight grades of white, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, and purple. Are these all defective products that cannot be used?What a pity!

"Silly boy..." Du Wen couldn't hold back, pinched his cheek again, spread the black Kun bag on the ground with a smile, sat cross-legged on it, and patted the seat beside him, "Sit down Right! The flame stones are transparent until they are picked. After half an hour in this bag, the true grade color will appear."

No wonder the short and fat man was so surprised just now, it seems that he himself didn't know there was a piece of red stuff in it.

Su Shaobai pouted his lips and rubbed his pinched red cheeks indiscriminately, smiled at Du Wen awkwardly, followed him and sat on the ground.He secretly comforted himself, it's all right, just pinch a pound of flame stones, and he's still earning money!

"Here, for these flame stones, you can just pick whatever you like. You are young, and you probably don't have enough spiritual power, so don't be greedy for big ones. If you can't pick them up then, it will be cheaper for other people behind." Du Wen pointed out Looking at the cluster of flame stones in front of him, he explained it carefully to Su Shaobai.

The value of a flame stone is determined by its appearance, grade, and weight.In the case that most of the products collected are of inferior quality, the greater the weight, the higher the value.Therefore, many people will try their best to pick the big ones.

Unfortunately, due to physical limitations, the time miners can persist in mining in the cave is limited after all. It is yours to mine this piece of flame stone. Otherwise, the miners who are behind you can only work hard for others wedding clothes.If you insist on not coming out of the hole because of your physical discomfort, and you insist on gritting your teeth, if you are a little careless in the middle, you will lose your life.Of course, when encountering really large flame stones, it is feasible for two or more people to cooperate and share equally.

If you can't chew too much, Du Wen is afraid that he will take a detour, so he reminded him early.Su Shaobai pursed his lips and nodded gratefully.Seeing that the children around him understood what he meant, Du Wen sized up the cluster of flaming stones in front of him for a few moments, and quickly picked a piece of flaming stone that was as thick as an adult's arm. He began to beat along the bottom of the flaming stone like a demonstration.

Sharpening a knife does not cut firewood by mistake.Su Shaobai was not in a hurry to act, and sat beside him, carefully observing Du Wen's movements, trying to find some tricks.

After looking at it for a long time, the only thing I can think of is that this stone hand ax seems to be very blunt, and a muscular man like Du Wen can only hold it and tap slowly.There seems to be no shortcut.At the end of the month, he had to pay fifteen catties. Today is the eighth day of the lunar new year, and he can only come to pick it once every seven days. That is to say, this time he has to pick at least five catties of flame stones to go back to be enough!Disappointed, Su Shaobai thought silently, pulled out the stone hand ax from his back, and prepared to start working.

Holding the stone handaxe in both hands, he was about to attack the smaller flaming stone in front of him when he suddenly froze.The flame stone in front of him turned white?

He looked around in surprise, and found that the flame stones in the entire vein were no longer transparent, and connected with the stone wall below, turning into a vast expanse of whiteness.

The flaming stone that Du Wen was digging was also white.Moreover, he had been staring at the flaming stone and beating it, with a focused expression, obviously not seeing any abnormalities.

what happened?Close your eyes, shake your head, and open them again, the eyes are still white, and they haven't turned back to transparent.Could it be that he can see the grade of the flame stone?Su Shaobai guessed in surprise, he couldn't tell if he was flustered or excited.

"Uncle, I'm going to the bathroom." Su Shaobai reported to Du Wen, and without waiting for him to answer, he put his ax back on his waist and sprinted out of the mine vein.Du Wen shook his head, only thinking that he was still a child at heart, couldn't sit still, and didn't care about him.

Su Shaobai walked down two steps along the stone steps and entered another vein.This vein is bigger than the one he and Du Wen entered just now, it is oblate, and it is full of white flame stones as far as the eye can see.

He turned his head and went out without hesitation, and continued to walk down.

In this way, when he checked the fourth vein, he found a cluster of red flame stones!The whole cluster of flame stones was about the size of his arm, and the color was reddish red, like a fire, and the color was brighter than what he saw on the platform just now.

Red goods!Su Shaobai yelled in his heart, very excited.Although he didn't know the reason, he was almost certain that he could see the grade of the Flame Stone.Maybe because I am not from this world, I have a different physique?

Just dig this piece!There is no loss even if it is an illusion, the big deal is that the white product is inferior.Thinking of this, Su Shaobai made up his mind to sit down.Of course, to get the final confirmation, we still have to wait until the meeting is picked.

Thinking of Du Wen and him taking care of him along the way, Su Shaobai lowered his raised hand again.I might not be able to mine this cluster of ores in a few months, so I should get Du Wen to make a fortune together.He quickly stood up again, and ran back to the mine vein just now.Du Wen was still digging hard at the white flaming stone.

"Uncle Du~ I saw a bigger vein over there, let's dig over there." Su Shaobai knelt down next to Du Wen, thinking how he could persuade him to go there.

"It's not that bigger is better, so don't toss about it!" Du Wen just stopped to rest, and stretched out his hand to slap him on the back.He took out the cigarette pot from his waist, and prepared to take two puffs, just in time to catch his breath.

"Uncle Du, go over there, I like that place." Su Shaobai didn't dare to open his mouth to talk about his abnormal condition, after all, according to what Du Wen just said, there should be no one among the miners. own this situation.If everyone is innocent, he should be punished.It's better to be careful.

"Hey, you kid...then you go there first, I'll come to you after mining this piece." Du Wen looked at the flame stone that hadn't been dug a third before him, and said awkwardly.

"Okay, okay." Su Shaobai had no choice but to compromise, picked up the kun bag he forgot to take from the ground, walked to the entrance of the cave and turned around to tell him, "Uncle, there is the fourth cave below. Come and find me!"

Du Wen waved his hand and told him to go quickly.

Running back to the cluster of red flame stones, Su Shaobai picked out the thinnest one on the side and raised his stone ax to chop it.He was anxious to verify whether what he saw was really of the Flame Stone grade.

The hardness of the flame stone is about the same as that of ordinary stones, and the stone hand ax in his hand can only leave a very shallow white mark every time.The flame stone in his hand is only the thickness of a copper coin, and it is estimated to be about half a catty, but if it is really red, even if it is only inferior, it is enough for their rent for a few months.

This kind of excitement made Su Shaobai excited, full of energy, and chopped the flame stone in his hand without distraction.For a while, only the regular knocking sound remained in the mine vein.

He didn't notice at all, under the white stone wall, there was a bowl-sized shadow at some point, flickering, floating under the red flame stone he was slashing.

After a long time, the place where the flame stone in his hand connected to the stone wall became thinner and thinner, only about one-fifth of its original size remained.Su Shaobai anxiously wanted to use his hands to pull it, but he put his whole body weight on it, and the flaming stone did not move at all, as if it was made of steel.

Giving up, he put the ax on the ground, rubbed his numb wrist, looked at the flaming stone and sighed.Hard work!This body was already thin and weak, and it was only supported for so long by the stimulation of excitement.Stop now, immediately my arms are sore and my mouth is dry.

He untied the package that Jiang's mother had stuffed for him from his back. Inside were six thick-faced steamed buns and pickles, as well as a few dry-fried small salted fish and a tube of clear water.After opening the stopper, he tilted his head up and gulped down his saliva, then broke open a nest, and started to eat with water and pickles.While eating, he stared viciously at the red flame stone, hum, just let you be arrogant for a while.

Looking at the side from the corner of the eye, Su Shaobai felt a little puzzled. He remembered that this cluster of red flame stones was as big as a ring arm, and he just picked the smallest one on the right to dig out because he was afraid of lack of strength.Why does it look like, this cluster of Chipin Flame Stones has become smaller?
