"Not bad! I admire you."

Elder Li Yuan nodded.

"Thank you for your trust, Elder. I will do my best to manage this mine."

Gu Sheng replied respectfully.

Elder Li Yuan nodded with satisfaction and left.

Gu Sheng looked at Elder Li Yuan's back and prayed secretly in his heart that if he could dig up the source of the concentrate, he would keep it all for himself!

The next day, Gu Sheng took the miners assigned to him and prepared for action early.

Gu Sheng counted the number of people and found that there were about thirty of them.

Being able to lead these thirty people, in modern society, he can be considered a small contractor.

"Everyone, follow me!"

Gu Sheng waved his hand and led the thirty people towards the direction of Mine No. 15.

Number one, number two, number three…

In this way, Gu Sheng walked all the way to the location of Mine No. 13.

But at this time Gu Sheng noticed that Mine No. 13 seemed very quiet.

There were other people guarding outside the other mines, and other equipment was also stationed at the entrance of the mine.

Only in Mine No. 13, there was nothing outside and it was extremely quiet.

"What's going on?"

Gu Sheng turned his head and asked Old Li who was standing beside him.

"Let's go!"

Old Li pulled Gu Sheng forward, as if he was avoiding something.

Gu Sheng was full of doubts. He stopped and asked again, "Old Li, what's going on with the No. 13 mine? Why is there no one around, not even a guard?"

Old Li's face looked a little ugly, and he pulled Gu Sheng and walked forward a few steps again.

"Xiao Sheng, this No. 13 mine is not an ordinary place. It is a ghost mine."

Old Li lowered his voice and said.

It felt like telling a ghost story.

"Silicon mine?"

Gu Sheng was stunned for a moment, then a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes, "You mean, there is silicon ore in here? That's a priceless treasure!"

"What's the point of talking about a silicon mine? The ghost mine I'm talking about is a haunted mine."

Old Li explained speechlessly, "Although there are a lot of crystals in this mine, few people who go in can come out safely."

Gu Sheng's excitement was poured with a bucket of cold water.

"Haunted? What era is this? Do you still believe in this? Old Li, don't scare me."

Gu Sheng frowned slightly, and suddenly felt a chill on his back.

"Hey……"

Old Li sighed, "Xiao Sheng, I have worked in this mining area for decades. What strange things have I not seen? This No. 13 mine has been full of strange things since it was discovered."

"Yes, I also heard that some of the people who went in came out crazy and stupid, and some died suddenly. It's very weird."

"I heard about that, too. That's why Mine No. 13 was sealed and has never been opened."

At this time, other experienced miners also came over to discuss.

Gu Sheng's curiosity was completely aroused. He didn't expect to hear such a thing just after he became the leader of the miners.

But as a great man of the new century, how could I believe it so easily?
"What exactly happened? Old Li, tell me in detail."

Gu Sheng continued to ask.

"I can't explain the specifics. But I heard from those who came out that they saw things they shouldn't have seen in the mine. Some said they saw ghosts, some said they heard strange noises, and some said they saw some unexplainable phenomena."

Old Li told what he had heard.

"Some people also said that there was poison gas and dead bodies inside."

"Yes, I heard about it too. It's pretty creepy."

Other miners said.

Gu Sheng frowned even more tightly, thinking secretly.

"Then Elder Li Yuan, don't you care? Are you just going to waste such a good resource?"

Gu Sheng sighed and looked in the direction of Mine Cave No. 13.

Old Li shook his head and said, "They managed it! But even if they did, no one could explain what happened inside. Later, the management gave up, and then the No. 13 mine became a taboo, and no one dared to touch it again."

Gu Sheng's heart was filled with doubts and curiosity.

He looked at the quiet entrance of the mine, and a desire to go in and find out what was going on surged in his heart.

"Old Li, tell me, if we go in, will we also encounter those strange things?"

Gu Sheng asked tentatively.

"what?"

Old Li's face changed. "Xiao Sheng, I advise you not to take the risk. This ghost mine is not known for nothing. Few people who go in can come out safely."

"Xiao Sheng, you are young and have a bright future ahead of you. It's not worth taking the risk just for a momentary curiosity."

"That's right, it's not necessary."

The other miners echoed.

Gu Sheng was silent for a while, thinking secretly in his mind.

If Mine No. 13 is really that evil, it means there must be good stuff inside.

Otherwise, why would those so-called "evil creatures" be guarding there?

Gu Sheng listened to everyone's dissuasion and felt a little shaken. After all, staying alive was the most important thing.

However, Gu Sheng felt a sense of longing for Mine No. 13, as if the things inside were attracting him.

If there really is some "evil thing" guarding there, then there must be some unknown treasure hidden inside.

So Gu Sheng secretly decided that he had to explore this mysterious mine no matter what.

"Okay, guys, I know you're doing this for my own good."

Gu Sheng finally spoke, smiled and waved his hand and continued: "But I think we can't just give up like this. If the No. 13 mine is really that evil, there must be wealth in it that we can't imagine. I am willing to take the risk. If you don't want to, I won't force you."

The miners looked at each other, some shook their heads, and some sighed.

But in the end, no one spoke anymore.

Gu Sheng knew that he couldn't be too anxious.

……

"Well, let's go to Mine No. 15 first today."

Gu Sheng said this and took the lead towards the direction of Mine Cave No. 15.

The miners then breathed a sigh of relief and headed towards Mine No. 15.

In this way, after a day of hard work, only three carts of crystals were brought out from Mine No. 15.

It can be said that this efficiency is extremely low.

Gu Sheng sat outside the mine, looking at the direction of Mine No. 13 and thinking about his own thoughts.

In the evening, Gu Sheng found Elder Li Yuan.

"Elder Li, I want to enter the No. 13 mine to dig for crystals."

Gu Sheng did not hide anything and spoke directly.

"what?"

Elder Li Yuan looked at him in surprise and said, "Xiao Sheng, are you crazy? That's a ghost mine. Few people who go in can come out safely."

Gu Sheng smiled disdainfully and said, "Elder, I know the legends about the mine, but I don't believe them. If there is really danger in there, I am willing to take the responsibility."

Elder Li Yuan was silent for a while, then said, "Have you really decided? This is no joke."

"I made a decision."

Gu Sheng said firmly.

"Okay, since you insist, I can agree. But you have to promise not to force anyone to go with you."

Elder Li Yuan finally agreed.

"That's for sure, but...but I have a condition, I don't know if you can agree to it."

Gu Sheng looked serious.

"what?"

Elder Li Yuan asked.

"Those miners are also afraid of Mine No. 13, so I wonder if I can give them ten times the pay, then..."

Before Gu Sheng finished speaking, Elder Li Yuan replied directly: "No problem, not only will I give you ten times the reward, I will also send you a few cultivators from the Yaoguang Holy Land to guard outside the No. 13 mine to protect your safety."

"Forehead……"

Gu Sheng was stunned for a moment.

Guarding outside the mine, what good is that? It just sounds better.

However, being able to promise to pay the miners sufficient wages has already achieved Gu Sheng's goal.

"Okay, thank you, Elder."

After Gu Sheng finished speaking, he left the room.

The next day, Gu Sheng told the matter to his thirty miners.

He stood in front of everyone and said with a firm face: "Brothers, I have decided to enter the No. 13 mine. I know there are risks there, but I also know that there are treasures there that we cannot imagine. I am willing to lead the charge. Are you willing to follow me?"

The miners looked at each other.

Some are afraid, some are hesitant.

But when they heard that there was a tenfold reward, some people were encouraged by Gu Sheng's words.

"Ten times the reward, can I go?"

Suddenly, a strong man from another mining team rushed over.

"All you have to do is join us and not be afraid of those rumors."

Gu Sheng said with a faint smile.

"I'm not afraid! I'll join in too!"

The sturdy man replied directly.

"Okay! I allow you to join. What's your name?"

Gu Sheng asked.

"Zhang boldly!"

The sturdy man patted his chest and said his name.

When Gu Sheng heard this, he thought it was quite bold.

Looking at his fierce appearance, Gu Sheng felt very satisfied.

"Okay! Zhang Dadan, you are one of them, who else?"

Gu Sheng asked.

At this time, others also began to discuss in low voices.

"Is it possible? I don't know what's going on down there in the ghost mine."

"Ten times the pay is equivalent to working once and resting for nine days. I think it's a good deal."

"I think so too. With Xiao Sheng taking the lead, there is nothing to be afraid of. Even if we have to die, he will die first!"

"Do you want to do it or not?"

"Dry!"

In the end, most people agreed to follow Gu Sheng and prepare to enter Mine No. 13.

"Okay, now that everyone agrees, let's get ready."

Gu Sheng nodded with satisfaction, "We will set off now. Remember, we must be well prepared and bring all the necessary equipment. We must let those so-called 'evil creatures' know that we are not to be trifled with."

The miners nodded.

Next, they began to prepare the necessary equipment, including candles, ropes, food and water, as well as various tools.

When everything was ready, Gu Sheng and his team of miners stood at the entrance of Mine No. 13.

Each of them carried the necessary equipment and had a nervous expression on their faces.

"Brothers, are you ready?"

Gu Sheng looked at the dozen or so people and asked loudly.

"Ready!"

The miners answered in unison.

"Okay, let's go then. Remember, no matter what we encounter, we must unite and face it together."

Gu Sheng said this and took the lead to step into the darkness of the mine.

The miners followed closely behind.

After entering the mine, it was dark and damp, and there was a musty smell in the air.

Gu Sheng and the miners moved forward cautiously, with the candlelight illuminating the road ahead.

As they go deeper into the mine, they begin to hear some strange noises...

The sound sounded like someone whispering, or like the whistling of the wind.

Gu Sheng's heart beat faster and he looked around vigilantly.

"Huh? What is that?"

Suddenly, Gu Sheng saw some strange symbols engraved on the wall of the mine.

These symbols look like some words, recording something in a haphazard manner.

Gu Sheng wanted to go forward to check, but was stopped by Old Li.

"Don't touch those symbols, they could be a curse."

Old Li warned.

"Forehead……"

Gu Sheng was stunned, then nodded, walked around the symbols and continued moving forward.

As they went deeper, they found that the passages inside the mine became more and more complicated, like a maze.

They marked the walls so they wouldn't get lost.

Just when they were feeling confused, they suddenly heard a strange sound.

"Whoa, whoa..."

The sound sounded like someone sobbing quietly, and it was a woman!
"Why is there the sound of a woman crying?"

"I heard that, too. But where are the women in our mine?"

Several elderly miners whispered.

When Zhang Dabing heard this, he said with disdain: "What nonsense are you talking about? How come I didn't hear it!"

"Everyone, be careful!"

Gu Sheng reminded.

Because he also heard the woman crying, but he didn't say it out loud.

So they followed the sound and found a dark cave.

"Why is there a hole like this here?"

"Yes, according to conventional mining, we shouldn't dig holes here."

Old Li stepped forward and looked outside the cave entrance, while also raising the candle a little further inside, trying to see as clearly as possible.

"hiss……"

Old Li didn't know what he saw. He took a deep breath and quickly stepped back.

"what happened?"

Gu Sheng stepped forward and asked.

"Inside... there seems to be something inside!"

Old Li said with a trembling voice.

"what?"

Zhang Dabing didn't believe it and rushed in with a torch.

After entering the cave, Zhang Dabing saw some strange scenes.

I saw more mysterious symbols on the walls of the cave.

Moreover, in the center of the cave, there were some old sacrificial items.

These items looked very old and were covered with thick dust.

Gu Sheng and the miners looked at each other and realized that this cave might be the key to unlocking the secret of Mine No. 13.

"These are just some sacrificial items. There's nothing to be afraid of!"

Zhang Dabing looked disdainful.

"Wow!"

He kicked out suddenly.

The sacrificial items and the table fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

"Zhang Dadan, you are too bold, aren't you?"

Old Li said angrily.

"What's the big deal? There are so many of us, are you still afraid? If you ask me, you, old Li, have lived to this age in vain."

After Zhang Dabing finished speaking, he stood there and burst into laughter.

"you……"

Old man Li was about to argue with Zhang Dadan, but was stopped by Gu Sheng. (End of this chapter)
