Spirit Stone Hunter

Travel vehicles must pass strict inspections at the airport before being allowed to be carried into the plane in a high-grade storage bag.They have to take a 22-hour flight this time, which is a bit aggravating for Ma Xiaotian, who has never been on a plane before. If it weren't for this time, there was an extra Mu Yuan who was also talkative and had a similar temper to him. He is the one talking to Ying Feng, so he will definitely complain.

This time, the mining area they were going to was in the third-level hunting area of ​​Shilin Mountain City. There was a straight-line distance of nearly [-] kilometers from Stone Forest Mountain City, but they couldn't go in a straight line.In addition, the mining area has been abandoned for a hundred years, and no one has paid attention to it in recent decades, so the original road has been blocked by gravel, weeds and even broken logs, so even if they drive there, it will take five to seven days.That's not counting in case of any emergency.

Although the area of ​​the Shilin mining area is small, Ma Xiaotian was quite shocked when he saw the [-]D images and videos of the mining area.The emerald deposit is completely different from the crystals dug before. Although it also penetrates into the ground, it is not in a sealed pit. Looking down from a high place, it looks more like a stepped basin. Raw emerald stones have been dug out batch after batch from the ground. , The more the pit is dug, the bigger it is, and there is even a pool of water in the middle. When there was a mine before, there were equipment to pump water for protection.Now from the satellite image, it can be seen that the original mine pit has now formed a large pool of water at the bottom. According to geographical data, the deepest part of the pool is at least [-] meters.It can be said that mining here should be more careful.

The emerald ore in the underground fault mentioned by the old prospector named You Yi is on the west side of the main mine pit. There is a fault rock mountain over there, and a pit of more than 200 meters was dug out on the other side of the fault rock, but The output of jadeite ore was very small, and after many explorations and tests, no more jadeite ore reactions were found, so it was abandoned.And the mine you mentioned is in a cave between the mine on the west side and the Broken Rock Mountain.The cave was originally a natural cave, and someone found some emerald ore in it. Because of this, they stepped on the outside to dig the mine to ensure the safety of mining, and the cave was also reinforced. After digging for a while, but Like the outside, there is not much to gain, so it is also abandoned.What they were going to was the inside of that cave, and of course the mines, one big and one small, would also be the targets of their search.Reconnaissance of ore veins must be carried out in all directions.

Sleeping very uncomfortable on the plane, Ma Xiao stretched his waist and stretched his muscles and bones after getting off the plane. "It's the first time I've been on a plane for so long, and I still feel like I'm on the ground!"

Zhan Jiu put his hand on Ma Xiaotian's back: "If it's hard, let's find a hotel to rest first. Then go to do the city registration tomorrow."

Ma Xiaotian asked: "No. It's so delicate here, let's go to lunch first. The food on the plane in the morning is not good at all. Now I'm hungry and I want to eat something smooth."

Mu Yuan smiled and said: "We have been to this place before, and we know some snacks, but I can't tell you how delicious it is, there is a snack street here, if you are not afraid of being tired, you can try it."

Hearing the words "Snack Street", Ma Xiaotian immediately cheered up: "I'm definitely not afraid of being tired! Ninth brother, let's go through the formalities first, and then go directly to the snack street, okay?"

For a spirit stone hunting team, appraisers are leaders. Besides, half of them have signed long-term contracts with Zhan Jiu. Naturally, the opinion of the "boss lady" shall prevail.

It is very simple to go out of the city. They have an official letter to prove that they just need to enter the identification into the system for an entry and exit registration.

After leaving the registration office, Ma Xiaotian immediately took out the map: "It's right here, let's take the subway there, Xiaoyuan said it will be very fast!" After speaking, his stomach suddenly "cuckooed" twice, and Ma Xiaotian instantly collapsed. "I'm really hungry."

Zhan Jiu took out a piece of cake from the storage bag. "There's so much food on your body, why are you so hungry?"

Ma Xiaotian said "uh..." before realizing that he was really sick.After taking the cake, seeing that it was his favorite vanilla cake, he immediately took a big bite.Then he quickly took out two more pieces from his storage bag and handed them to Mu Yuan and Ying Feng. "Are you two hungry too? Let's eat together."

Ying Feng shook his head.I have never liked this sweet thing very much.In particular, he didn't dislike the taste of the plane meal in the morning, and he didn't feel hungry.Mu Yuan didn't show any face, and just complained: "Don't try to drag us into the water. We all know that you like to eat and can't be hungry. Don't feel ashamed."

Ma Xiaotian was "angry", why was he so frank, no, how could he be so blunt! "Can't you be a little more tactful?"

Mu Yuan smiled and shook his head: "I can't. You have to be upright to be worthy of your conscience. Eat it quickly. Maybe those snacks don't suit your appetite."

Everyone talked and laughed and rushed to the snack street, and the subway arrived at the snack street station in less than 10 minutes.The whole snack street is open-air stalls, so the flavors of too many kinds of food are mixed together. Ma Xiaotian is still unable to judge whether it is delicious or not, but for a hungry person, this mixture of dozens of food flavors The smell of the son was enough to make him swallow.

It's time for lunch, and there are many people on the snack street.Ma Xiaotian followed the smell to a barbecue stall. Seeing that there was still the last place, he quickly ran over to occupy the place, and then beckoned: "This is the first place, come quickly!"

The childish behavior made everyone smile.Especially when Zhan Jiu was so cute by his little daughter-in-law.Thinking of not being able to have a pleasant intimacy recently, although this time and place are not suitable for these, he still decided to "eat" tonight to have a good time.

This barbecue stall only roasts a winged bird called a python finch, which is one of the local specialty birds.The bird is of medium size, about the size of a turkey.Although it is from a farm, but because it is a local characteristic, and the barbecue ingredients in this shop have a unique recipe, the price is not cheap.It costs 80 yuan a catty, and it still has bones.

With so many people, and most of them are Quebec people, the price of eating this is not cheap.If Zhan Jiuxian and his boss had five, the weight would be 1 yuan less.When paying the bill, Ma Xiaotian swallowed, feeling that the price of this thing is too high.But since he rushed over to occupy the seat, it would be shameful for fourteen people to ask for five, so he dared not despise expensive anymore.Fortunately, there are noodles made of python sparrow soup in the store, and with an extra hundred or so yuan, I can finally have a full meal.

While waiting to roast the boa finch, they heard someone sitting next to them discussing the day.That is on the Shitan Lake outside the city of Shilin Mountain. In the past few days, water and cloud wonders have frequently appeared, that is, floating on the lake are clouds that would appear only in the high sky, and there was once a mirage above the clouds.Although no one saw the mirage in the next few days, the water cloud was already a breathtaking sight.These people just came back from watching the excitement outside the city.

Hearing this, Ma Xiaotian immediately became interested. This time, not only him, but everyone else was also very interested.After all, this kind of spectacle is rare. Although people in this world have a lifespan of 400 years, such a scene may not appear once in a few 400 years. "Is that the condensation of water vapor?" Ma Xiaotian asked curiously.

This is the answer to follow the prospector Mei Ming. "One-third of the causes are like this. First, there must be a large amount of water, and secondly, the bottom, water surface, upper surface of the water and the surrounding environment are all mixed together, so that the long or short water cloud phenomenon may appear. It is an alternative manifestation of fog, very strange. I have only seen it in books and videos in materials. Although it is not very useful, this kind of geological landscape is also worth admiring. How about we do it tonight How about going out of the city to see Shuiyun instead of staying at the store? Anyway, I’m going out of the city tomorrow morning.”

Of course no one else has one.But just thinking about the intimate Zhan Jiuye in the hotel at night, he became depressed in an instant. "Doesn't it look the same tomorrow?"

Mei Ming shook his head: "This kind of thing may be gone in one minute. It's a fast-changing thing. If you want to see it, you can't delay it."

Ma Xiaotian didn't understand at all, and of course he didn't know why he should understand Zhan Jiu.Immediately adding oil and vinegar: "That's right! Anyway, I have to go out of the city, and at most I will spend the night in a tent by the lake. Thinking about the rare beauty, this is also fate. What are you doing? Don't you want to see it? I really want to see it!"

Zhan Jiu couldn't laugh or cry, but he didn't have to insist on his own thoughts.It's just that I'm quite helpless because of my own family affairs, and sometimes I don't take the intimacy of husband and wife seriously for a long time. It really is a child who hasn't grown up, so I love and feel a little bit hurt. torture! "Okay. Listen to you. If everyone has no objections, let's drive out of the city after eating. The location of Shitan Lake should be easy to find. Recently, people go to watch the excitement every day, and there is no need for security. Do research in advance."

Thinking of going to see the spectacle for a while, even the taste of the barbecue seemed a little better.But the taste of this roasted python bird is really attractive.The taste is similar to that of turkey meat, and the taste itself is very sweet. The fat content is high among birds, but it is still much worse than other land animals, so it is considered refreshing.Especially the store's marinated meat and the spice powder sprinkled at the end. Although he didn't know what it was, Ma Xiaotian could clearly feel the smell of cumin.He has been in another world for more than ten years, and he has never seen cumin, the most common condiment in his previous life.

Since he wanted this cumin-flavored seasoning too much, Ma Xiaotian tried to ask the boss. "Boss, do you put cumin in your barbecue ingredients?"

The boss was confused when asked: "Ah? What?"

Ma Xiaotian repeated: "Cumin is the seed of a plant that can be used as a spice."

The boss shook his head: "I haven't heard of it. The ingredients in my seasoning are all made from local vegetables and fruits, and I haven't used any seeds."

The answer doesn't seem to be fake, but it's possible that people don't seem to tell the secret recipe.Ma Xiaotian simply stopped asking.Waiting for the boss to continue busy greeting other guests, Ma Xiaotian secretly whispered to Zhan Jiu: "I really want the recipe of this seasoning, in fact, I just want an ingredient with this special taste, I don't need his secret recipe. Can you help me get it?"

Zhan Jiu raised his eyebrows: "This is not easy to ask."

Ma Xiaotian tugged on Zhan Jiu's sleeve: "Then ask for me too. Brother Jiu can do anything!"

Zhan Jiu raised the corners of his mouth and looked at him with a smile: "If you really want anything, then you have to promise me anything."

Ma Xiaotian reacted for a while, and then he understood Zhan Jiu's meaning. He turned his head and saw that the people around him were eating and chatting without changing their expressions. "Anyway, if you want to come, I will listen to you."

Zhan Jiu smiled and rubbed his hair: "Silly boy. I'll get it for you. But don't worry about money."

Ma Xiaotian narrowed his eyes: "You must not be distressed. But you can't give too much. After I want to come, I can sell it for money. If it is something that can be planted, our farm can consider introducing it. I am confident that as long as there is this Spices, I’ll make a secret seasoning, it’s definitely better than the previous hot sauce! You’ve seen the sales of hot sauce in the first half of the year, how good it is, we’re all making money!”
