Seeing that the visitor was Han Changlin, Zhang Su stood up and greeted him.
Han Changlin nodded slightly, and then asked:
"Where are Senior Brother Wu and the others? Haven't they arrived yet?"
Hearing this, Zhang Su shook his head and said that he had not seen many people arrive.
Seeing this, Han Changlin said nothing more.
Thinking of the woman arranged by Sun Hetong last night, Han Changlin suddenly understood why they hadn't arrived yet, but he couldn't explain it clearly.
After all, it is normal for a man to love a woman and to have sex, so naturally he would not interfere in the other person's private life without authorization.
Although I felt a little impatient, I had no choice but to wait at this moment.
Almost a quarter of an hour later, Wu Lei suddenly walked in, greeted Han Changlin and others, and sat down.
It was not until half the time of the incense had passed that the monks stationed here such as Sun Hetong and Liao Qian also arrived, but Xie Tianhua was nowhere to be seen.
Seeing this, Wu Lei's slightly dark face also darkened, and he said lightly:
"Junior Brother Han, since Junior Brother Xie hasn't come yet, I'd like to trouble you to go and call him."
There was only a hint of chill in the voice.
"Yes, Brother Wu."
Although he was a little reluctant, looking at Wu Lei's face and considering that this man was the nominal leader, he didn't want to cause his displeasure, so he stood up and said something with his hands in hand, about to turn around and leave.
Just at this moment, Xie Tianhua walked in with his head lowered.
The circles under his eyes were slightly dark, his face was a little pale, and there was an indelible tiredness on his body.
Apparently the expedition last night was excessive.
"It's getting late. Since Junior Brother Xie is here, let's go."
Seeing that the person coming was Xie Tianhua, Wu Lei's voice was a little low.
"Okay, since Brother Wu, you care about the sect, let's go."
Xu Hetong stood up at this time, smoothed things over, and then led everyone towards the outside of the house.
Yanyuan Valley is not far from the market town, only more than thirty miles.
Led by Xu Hetong, several people picked up their magical weapons and headed northeast.
For Han Changlin and others, more than thirty miles is only half a cup of tea.
Only a few people came to an open space in front of a huge valley and stopped, looking inside.
The Yanyu Valley's reserves of flame jade are extremely astonishing. After years of excavation, they are still inexhaustible. Now, four mines have been excavated at the same time.
"Junior Brother Xu, in addition to collecting the flame jade collected this season, we also need to explore the situation in the mine so that we can report it to the sect when the time comes. However, it is not too late now. If a few of us mine one by one, We may not be able to explore the cave in one day, so we will investigate separately. If there are no problems, we can go directly back to Chixian City to report on our work."
After taking a look at the situation in Yanyuan Valley, Wu Lei said softly.
"Since senior brother said so, then just do what senior brother said."
Hearing this, Xu Hetong was slightly startled, but still nodded in agreement.
The environment of Yanyuan Valley is harsh and the temperature is hot. Most of the miners digging here are young and strong men with bronze skin.
When they saw Han Changlin and others passing by, they all knelt down quickly and said respectfully:
"I have met the Immortal Master."
These people were respectful and lowered their heads, not daring to look at Han Changlin and others.
Xu Hetong had seen this several times, but turned a blind eye. After all, they had long been accustomed to the superiority of immortal cultivators.
However, Han Changlin felt a little uncomfortable. After all, he was born in a peaceful world.
Mine No. 1 is the largest and produces the most flame jade. Before and after the group of people arrived at Mine No. 1, Xu Hetong looked at Han Changlin and the others and said softly:
"I will take Senior Brother Wu Lei to explore the No. 1 Mine. Liao Qian, you will take Junior Brother Han to the No. 2 Mine. Gu Sheng, you will take Junior Brother Xie to the No. 3 Mine. As for Qu Jiu, you will take Zhang Junior Sister Su, go to Mine No. 4."
After saying that, Xu and Tong walked side by side towards Mine No. 1.
The four mines were located throughout the Yanyuan Valley. After Han Changlin nodded to Zhang Su and Xie Tianhua, he and Liao Qian continued towards the direction of the No. 2 mine.
"Friend Daoist Han, this is Mine No. 2."
The two walked not long before they stopped in front of a slightly smaller mine.
Then Liao Qian pointed to Mine No. 2 and continued:
"Friend Daoist Han, this is the account book of Mine No. 2. Please take a look at it."
While talking, Liao Qian took out a black-covered book from his storage bag and handed it to Han Changlin.
Han Changlin reached out to take it, opened it casually, and took a few glances.
On the last page, it was written that a total of more than 2,300 kilograms of flame jade had been mined from Mine No. 2 this quarter.
The mining progress is more than 1,363 feet.
...
While Han Changlin was reading through it, Liao Qian was also introducing the general situation.
After a while, Han Changlin took a rough look at it, nodded, and continued:
"Fellow Daoist Liao, it's just a matter of routine. I have to go in and take a look."
"It's natural."
Hearing the sound, Liao Qian smiled slightly, made an invitation gesture, and the two walked in side by side.
The mine is extremely dry, and apart from being a little dim, there is no uncomfortable feeling at all.
Mine No. 2 does not have one passage all the way to the end. In addition to a main road, there are also several branches. Moreover, these branches are winding and winding, so it is not easy for Han Changlin to explore.
The two of them walked around in Mine No. 2 until more than an hour later, when they slowly walked out of Mine No. 2.
At this time, Liao Qian said softly from the side:
"How is it? Fellow Daoist Han, does the situation in Mine No. 2 match the records in the account book?"
Hearing the sound, Han Changlin nodded slowly and said:
"I just inspected it, and the situation in this mine is very consistent with what is recorded in the account book."
After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
Then the two of them headed towards the way they came.
By the time they arrived at Mine No. 1, Xie Tianhua and Zhang Su were already waiting there. It was obvious that they had finished exploring Mine No. 3 and Mine No. 4.
Only Xu Hetong and Wu Lei were missing.
"Brother Wu and Brother Xu haven't come out yet?"
After approaching, Han Changlin took the lead and asked before Xie Tianhua and Zhang Su could speak.
"No, a few of us have just arrived. It's probably because this mine is too big, so it probably took a long time to explore."
Hearing the sound, Zhang Su glanced at the entrance of Mine No. 1 and said with some doubts.
Then several people chatted for a while, then stopped talking and just waited where they were.
time flies.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Just when everyone was getting impatient, a figure appeared at the entrance of the cave.
