Demon Lord and his party looked towards the chopped ground.
There was a lot of activity here. The four men with kitchen knives and a dozen locals with wood knives chopped down all the way. Soon, a large and wide square road opened in front of everyone.
Although this square is entirely made of dirt and rotten branches and leaves, it is not difficult to see that there are traces of human shoveling here.
And judging by the look of this place, it seems to be quite old.
The Demon Lord and everyone went down to this flat open space.
Yi Keer and Nie Tingting turned on their mobile phones and portable satellite locators to determine the real coordinates here.
The locator needed some time, so the Demon Lord took advantage of this moment to start exploring the environment.
However, the Demon Lord turned around and found nothing strange in it.
This cliff is indeed made of limestone, but comparatively speaking, the rock here is slightly harder than the limestone in other places.
I didn't find anything strange in this large area of land that I had sorted out.
Demon Lord and Wang Yunhai secretly wondered. Logically speaking, there would be some clues that could be found here.
But no trace can be found here.
Demon Lord and Wang Yunhai had to recall all the details on the map.
A few minutes later, Yi Ker and Nie Tingting had received the satellite positioning information from the satellite locator.
"Brother Hai!" Yi Keer shouted, "The satellite locator shows that it is here!"
The Demon Lord then stopped searching further afield and returned to Yi Keer and Nie Tingting.
"Well." Demon Lord looked at the display information on the locator and said, "Just find this place. It's getting late now. Let's set up camp here and look for it tomorrow to see if we can find any clues."
So A Zhuang ordered all the locals to put up the tents in their backpacks in the open space, and then buried the pots to make rice.
A few wisps of smoke soon drifted toward the sky from the deep mountains and dense forests.
The numerous wisps of smoke, full of life, and the seven or eight camping tents look like an elegant ink landscape painting in this endless jungle.
Soon, the aroma of barbecue wafted out, and the sky gradually darkened. Everyone gathered around the campfire, eating barbecue, dry food, drinking wine, and chatting in twos and threes.
A Zhuang couldn't help but approached Wang Yunhai and asked, "Brother Yunhai, I know you are a big shot, but I really want to know what you are looking for in this deep mountain forest. I have brought a geological expedition team here before.
Inside the mountain, you seem to be different, so I guess you are looking for something."
It was impossible for the Demon Lord to tell A Zhuang and the others about the secret mission that the Demon Lord was performing, so the Demon Lord just smiled and said, "Actually, we are also geologists, but we are only responsible for exploring the road ahead. It seems that there is a water quality inspection report.
It said that the groundwater flowing out of the mountains contains heavy metals. Everyone knows that water with heavy metals is not drinkable. However, geologists said that they suspected that there were veins of useful heavy metals in it, so we were the first group sent to explore it.
Road geologists.”
"Geologist?" A Zhuang's brows jumped when he heard this, "Brother Hai, can I see your ID?" The reason why A Zhuang asked this was because most of the geologists he knew were a
The old professor, with a few young students, looked at the simple instruments, but he was not as showy as Wang Yunhai, who deliberately brought a large group of people with large and small high-end tents, as well as various unknown instruments.
When Wang Yunhai heard A Zhuang's request, he scratched his head and said with a smile, "This A Zhuang is quite thoughtful. Brother Zun, how are you going to answer him?"
"How to answer?" Demon Lord ignored Wang Yunhai, and he explained to A Zhuang, "Actually, we are just for hire. Geologists are afraid of wild beasts in the mountains, so they hire us to take the lead. But don't worry, although we
I couldn’t produce the geologist’s certificate, but we did accept the appointment.”
A Zhuang looked at Yi Ke'er and Nie Tingting'er. The two young ladies seemed to be intellectuals, and they seemed to have some similarities with geologists, so he didn't continue to ask.
It's just that A Zhuang knew in his heart that it was unclear whether Wang Yunhai was a geology school student. However, his brothers, including Tang Zhi, were not like geology students.
However, it was not good for him if he didn't talk about this kind of thing, so he tried his best to ask, so A Zhuang started to chat with Wang Yunhai about other things.
After chatting for a while, everyone felt a little tired, and then everyone went to sleep in their own tents.
Because there were several fires lit, it was quiet all night. Occasionally, I could hear some wild wolves and wild beasts barking in the distance, but everything went very smoothly.
Early the next morning, after everyone had breakfast, the Demon Lord asked the locals and Ermao Zhouzhou Croton to shovel and dig the soil around the location located by the satellite positioner.
The soil here is relatively hard, not as soft as the soil outside, and there are so many people. Together with Mao Baodou, who is in the junior Qi refining stage, and Tang Zhi, who is in the base stage, it took most of the day to dig out a deep
A pit of two meters and 6 meters in diameter.
The soil becomes harder as you dig deeper into the pit. There is also an obvious difference in color. The upper two layers of soil here are red soil layers, but two meters below, the color of the potatoes suddenly changes, turning into white soil layers.
A Zhuang doesn't know the reason for this, but he only thinks that there are real veins of minerals.
A Zhuang didn't know, but Tang Zhi's face suddenly changed when he saw the dirt. Tang Zhi quickly recovered his expression. He quietly took the white dirt in his hand, pinched it a few times, and then put it under his nose to smell it.
After a while, he silently threw the soil away again.
So after lunch, everyone continued to work.
Tang Zhi found a moment, pulled Wang Yunhai aside, and lowered his voice and said to Wang Yunhai, "Brother Hai! This is it. What we dug just now is the sealing soil. I estimate that if we dig two or three meters further, we should be able to see it.
We've got something, do you think we should send these people away?"
Tang Zhi said, glancing at the villagers brought by A Zhuang who were digging.
"No need for now!" Demon Lord thought for a moment and replied.
"A Zhuang is also a man who has seen a lot of things in the world. Besides, there is no telling what will happen down there. I think the manpower may be of great use in a while."
Tang Zhi nodded and rejoined the excavation team with a pickaxe.
Wang Yunhai took a look at the surrounding situation and said, "Brother Zun, I took a look here. The area with traces of groundbreaking is only a few hundred square meters. Such a small area does not seem to match the important secrets that Emperor Qing is interested in."
No., I guess with the Qing Emperor’s egocentric personality, something that he considers extremely important cannot be so small!”
Demon Lord was not prepared to refute Wang Yunhai's statement, but he raised another possibility, "What you suspect is actually very reasonable, but his secret does not have to be on a flat surface, it can also extend underground.
Just like his imperial mausoleum, which goes hundreds or even thousands of meters in depth, he might even be able to build an overturned bucket-shaped treasure pavilion with a small top and a large bottom, and that's not impossible."
"Yeah." Wang Yunhai hummed and agreed.
So the two stopped talking and joined the excavation team together.
This continued for two days of digging.
The dug deep pit extends underground to a depth of 8 meters. The soil below is getting whiter and harder.
The excavating villagers and A Zhuang gradually seemed to have suspicions.
A Zhuang muttered, "Why have I never seen the soil here before? Is it a bit like the clear mud mentioned in the archeology program on TV?"
When A Zhuang muttered like this, Wang Yunhai also felt a little nervous. If A Zhuang had doubts, it might become very troublesome.
Of course, Demon Lord also knew this, so Demon Lord used the knowledge he had learned in school these days and said to Ah Zhuang, "This is white soil, a kind of soil with high alkali content. High concentration of alkali has already
The fresh organic matter in the soil has been decomposed, just like the soil by the Dead Sea, and it has become white!"
A Zhuang nodded doubtfully and continued to let all the locals dig.
Another day passed like this.
However, the expressions of the people brought by A Zhuang were somewhat different today.
As they dug, they seemed to be looking for something in the soil.
The Demon Lord finally found an opportunity and used his spiritual consciousness to quietly eavesdrop on the conversation between the two locals.
Yesterday, the two of them talked quietly and said, "Ah Er, believe me, this is definitely the kind of grave soil mentioned on TV!"
The second boy asked back, "Alan! How are you sure?"
Just listen, Allen replied, "I often watch archaeological programs. You can see that the boundary between the soil above and the soil below is very clear. If the real line was formed naturally by nature, it would definitely not be so obvious. He would be
It is a gradual process, and look at the picture and characters now, the red soil has turned into white soil directly. As far as I know, this happens only in tombs!"
