Gu Tongdao: "I can't say for sure, but since they dare to spend so much money to enter the mountain, they are certainly a little sure."
Han Kongque said: "We don't need to be too greedy, anyway, the harvest this time is already quite big."
Wei Changqing nodded and said: "Brother Han is right, we just need to check this place once, and it's almost done."
Han Kongque glanced at Wei Changqing, isn't this considered greedy?
You must know that the reason why this place is called "Jade Nest" by Han Peacock is mainly because there are too many cobbles washed down here for a long time.
Maybe it's because the water veins below are still clear, so even if there is some sediment in the drinking water, it has been washed away, so that what falls here and is blocked by the giant piece is all stones.
And it is precisely among these stones that beautiful jade is hidden, and these stones are piled up layer by layer in this hundreds of meters of river. Han Kongque spent the whole morning selecting them, but he only looked at them.
With so many stones, if seven of them went through it, it might take several years.
"Brother Han's superpower is still useful." Wei Changqing said with envy when he saw Han Peacock constantly controlling the water flow to wash out the stones buried in the sand.
"Are you showing off? You must know that most of us ordinary people don't have super powers." Huang Shan heard this and said.
Han Peacock said with a smile: "Water-type abilities have always been considered rubbish."
"Who doesn't know Brother Han's blood-sucking magical power? Your powers can't be attributed to simple water powers." Thinking of Han Peacock's nickname of Blood Demon, Wei Changqing shuddered. At first, he thought
Then he attacked Han Peacock.
Huangshan chuckled and said, "Our boss's abilities are not limited to sucking blood."
Thinking of the ice horse made by Han Peacock, riding it just like a real horse, Huangshan was filled with envy. Ice powers and water powers are completely different, and what Huangshan meant was that Han Peacock not only had water powers, but also blood powers.
, ice and spiritual powers, Han Peacock can use them.
Only people like Huang Shan who are often around Han Kongque know this, and he knows even more that the reason why Han Kongque becomes more and more powerful is the result of his continuous practice.
And now, they, Han Peacock's close bodyguards, have also been taught Kung Fu by Han Peacock. At least his Qigong practice is pretty good, so he is not afraid at all when facing a spiritual superpower like Wei Changqing.
.
"Xiao Han, I think you'd better take a rest. We won't be able to choose from all the rough stones that have been exposed now," Gu Tong said.
Qian Mingyuan also said: "Lao Hu is very familiar with the environment here. This time they enter the mountain, they will definitely not let go of any river exploration, so they will come here soon."
Wei Changqing said: "Otherwise, let Brother Han block this side. In this way, even if outsiders come, they will not be able to discover this hidden river."
Wei Changqing was not joking. What he said was completely achievable. It turned out that there was a slope here, hiding a creek upstream. Now as long as they block this side, it will be difficult for others to find it.
Qian Mingyuan said: "It's better not to bother. What do you think the professors brought by Lao Hu do? They are here to do comprehensive geological surveying and mapping. This small river cannot be hidden."
Han Kongque said at this time: "We don't have to be greedy. If no one takes us into the mountain, we won't find anything. Now let's pick some Ziyu first. When the time comes, we will gain the most."
Gu Tong nodded in agreement and said: "Xiao Han is right. This is a snow mountain. No one can occupy it. In another month at most, this place will be sealed by heavy snow. If we stay here for half a month at most, we will have to If the evacuation is delayed, it is very likely that we will be blocked here by heavy snow, which will be dangerous at that time."
Qian Mingyuan said: "You really can't stay here for too long. In summer, this is the main river channel, filled with floods. No one knows whether the valley just now will turn into a rushing river in the next moment. Therefore, you can come here to collect The time for jade is only this month."
"Shouldn't there be two seasons in spring and autumn? If there is drought in autumn, the rivers in spring should also be dry." A bodyguard who had been silent said.
Wei Changqing smiled and said: "This is a snow mountain. In other places, spring is the driest time, but it is different here. As soon as spring comes and the snow mountains thaw, all the valleys here will turn into glaciers, and glaciers are nothing like Floods and floods are all fatal to Yama."
When Wei Changqing said this, the bodyguard touched his head and blushed: "I'd better go pick up the stone!"
When he said this, everyone laughed. They didn't expect that this sturdy man had such an honest side.
"It's good that you found two bodyguards!" Han Peacock said with a smile.
Hearing what Han Kongque said, Wei Changqing burst into laughter. He laughed and said, "Brother Han, you really don't know, do you? The two of them are members of the largest bodyguard company in Beijing."
"The largest bodyguard company in the capital? Could it be..." Before Han Kongque finished speaking, he knew from Wei Changqing's expression that he had guessed correctly.
"This is your bodyguard. I heard that your bodyguard training method came from Devil's Island?" Wei Changqing asked curiously.
Han Peacock nodded and said: "This is what I gained from destroying Devil's Island. Their method of training guards is quite good."
"I heard that the owner of Devil's Island is a stunning beauty?" Wei Changqing became even more curious.
Han Peacock chuckled and said, "Would you like to call me out so that you can see?"
"Forget it. I heard that the Master of the Demon Palace has reached the pinnacle of mysticism. With a spiritual power like mine, I can't stand her confusion." Although he really wanted to see how beautiful the Palace Master of the Demon Palace was in the teaching, Wei Wei Evergreen is a mental power. If he loses to others mentally, he will not want to continue to strengthen his mental power in the future.
"I've also heard of the Demon Palace. When I was young, I also struggled in society." At this time, Qian Mingyuan came over and said.
"So Mr. Qian is also a Jianghu person?" Wei Changqing asked curiously.
Qian Mingyuan smiled and said: "Those who live in society can be regarded as half of the Jianghu people! It turns out that I thought that the Demon Palace was a crooked way. There are countless ways to make money, so why would you rob other people's children and train dead soldiers?"
Han Kongque said with a smile: "Lao Qian is right, haven't they been destroyed by me now?"
Qian Mingyuan said: "That's right. If you often walk by the river, how can your shoes not get wet? Just talking about this harvest, how many families did they have to destroy to make so much money? So, people still have to take the right path. .”
Wei Changqing said: "Although we all understand this truth, how many people are capable of finding a jade river like us? Therefore, crooked ways are often forbidden."
"Yes! The current jade industry is also a mixed bag. Many people I know have spare money and want to buy a good piece of jade for family heirlooms. However, because it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity of jade on the market, a large number of people, I don't dare to get involved at all." Gu Tongdao.
Han Kongque said: "This is because the jade resources are exhausted."
"This has no solution." Wei Changqing said.
Qian Mingyuan smiled and said: "In fact, it is not difficult to simply say that it is because of the depletion of jade resources. The most fundamental reason is that people's moral concepts have changed. When I was in my 20s, I also left the jade factory and worked in a private jade processing company. .
At that time, I didn’t have to deal with jade dealers. I lived in the mine every day. When jade was unearthed in the mine, I would be informed as soon as possible. It can be said that until 2003, most Uyghurs did not know about Hotan. The value of jade.
At that time, in some villages in Hotan, you could often see pieces of Hetian jade with skin on the courtyard walls of local people. Later, with the spread of mechanization, although Hetian jade cannot be said to be piled up in mountains, it is definitely not what people imagined. are so scarce, so the current industry chaos is caused by people’s pursuit of profits.”
"So why did Hetian jade turn from a material for building courtyard walls into a rare treasure in just a few years?" Wei Changqing asked jokingly.
Due to its geographical location and mining methods, Hotan jade has been a rare thing since ancient times. However, the long-term closed environment has prevented local people from realizing the value of Hotan jade.
Hotan jade is known as China's "national stone" due to its excellent color and texture and its rare quantity. From the establishment of the Qin Dynasty to the overthrow of the Qing government, Hotan jade has been the "imperial jade".
Most of the jades in the palace are made of Hetian jade, especially the jade seals that symbolize imperial power, the vast majority of which are Hetian jade.
Hotan jade is precious not only because of its unparalleled warmth and quality, but also because of its difficulty in mining.
In ancient times, the annual output of high-quality Hotan seed jade was only a few dozen kilograms. When jade collectors entered the Kunlun Mountains, nine out of ten people died, which shows the level of hardship.
As a cultural mineral, the reserves of Hotan jade are limited, and now, the reason why Hotan jade is so expensive is entirely due to man-made factors.
Since 2004, the Hotan Regional Government has taken the lead in organizing the Hotan Jade Tourism and Culture Festival. In the following two years, it held two Hotan Jade Culture Academic Seminars in order to attract foreign investment through these activities.
That year, the GDP of Hotan region increased by 11.1%, and the fiscal revenue increased by 63.7%.
Later, as Hetian jade was made into the emblem of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the investment value of Hetian jade once again attracted public attention.
More and more people are digging for jade. Modern mechanical mining has resulted in more than 80% of Hetian jade resources being mined. The sharp decline in output has also contributed to the rise in prices.
Several people were talking and laughing, and by the time the sun was about to set, several hills had already piled up beside their tents.
Looking at these hills, several people felt a sense of accomplishment, but at this moment, a roar came from far away.
"What's the sound?" Wei Changqing's expression changed. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
