Sword of Punishment

Just when Ji Yuan was overjoyed, he found a dazzling red light appeared in the center of the split ore. He was slightly startled, and when he saw clearly the thing emitting a red light, he was stunned. In the middle of the ore is a round red metal sphere the size of an adult's head. This red sphere has no impurities and is so red that it shines. If you look closely, there seems to be a trace of red halo surrounding the surface.

Ji Yuan couldn't tell what kind of material this red sphere was made of for a while. It didn't look like copper or iron, even refined copper and iron were not so pure, but Ji Yuan knew that this thing must be a good thing, and estimated it by value.

"This thing is very valuable, so it must not be handed over. Once it is handed over, it will definitely cause shocks in the entire martial arts world and even the world of monks. It may lead to some old monsters that have not been born for many years, but how to take it out? There is no clothes on the body, there is no It can’t be covered, it seems that we have to hide it first, and then quietly take it out at night.” Ji Yuan looked at this magical red metal ball and thought to himself.

Then he wanted to pick up the red sphere and take a closer look. Unexpectedly, when he grasped the red sphere, he suddenly felt his hands sinking and burning, and he quickly let go. At this time, he had two feelings, one was strange Heavy ratio, it felt like grabbing a huge mountain, just like when he got the yellow ring back then.Second, it was scalding as if he had caught a handful of magma. He raised his hand and saw several scalding blisters on his palm.

Ji Yuan was taken aback, feeling a bit unbelievable, then he exerted a little force on his hand and transported the sapphire true energy to his hand, and then picked up the red ball. Once he got it in his hand, Ji Yuan immediately felt that the weight of the red ball was at least It weighed tens of thousands of catties, exactly the same as the weight when he got the ring back then, and a look of astonishment suddenly appeared on his face. [

Furthermore, even though his hands were covered with sapphire true energy, he could still feel how high the temperature of the sphere was. He estimated that it had reached at least three or four hundred degrees, because just at this moment, the soil around him had turned into a piece of It was scorched yellow, as if it had been burned by a fire for several hours.

This piece of metal is not only heavy but also so hot, which he never imagined, and its hardness should be harder than the red crystals on the ore that wraps him. There is no trace of impurities on the entire sphere, and the sphere is red, like A ruby ​​glows like a flame.

He slightly suppressed his excitement, and immediately pushed the red sphere to the ground with the fastest movement, and then he pressed it again with dark force. It is estimated that the red sphere should have reached a depth of about ten feet underground.Then he pressed a thick stone slab to insulate the temperature emitted by the sphere, but he knew that this could only be insulated for a while. After a long time, it is estimated that scorched earth will appear on the entire ground for people to see.

And he will use the fastest time to bring this sphere back to the ground and hide it at night, because at this time he will not worry about being known by others, because now he has mined such a large piece of top-level ore, it is estimated that the entire mining area will boil It's been a while, and their mine probably won't start working for a while.

Then he hurriedly found the position where the sphere was hidden in the middle of the huge top-level ore and found the non-red metal position and broke it into eight pieces. In this way, it was impossible to see that there was a spherical object hidden in it.

After doing all this, he shouted to the others behind him:

"Big brothers, come here quickly, I have mined top-level ore!"

Except for the miners who carried the ore to the ground, the rest of the miners who were working in the mine with sore backs were overjoyed when they heard the news. They immediately dropped the tools in their hands and ran all the way. When these miners saw the eight pieces When the red ore was very dazzling, everyone was so surprised that they couldn't speak for a long time. The high metal content of this ore can be seen by people who don't know how to know it. What's more, they have been working in mining for nearly a year people.

"Brother Ji, let's send it now. Just these few pieces of ore, I bet we will definitely get a big reward." The miner surnamed Wang said to Ji Yuan trembling with excitement.

The other people were also trembling all over, and it seemed that they were too excited to be themselves.

"The color of this ore is simply too beautiful!"

"I've never seen such a pure ore!"

"This is better than the red copper essence mined before!"

Everyone on the sidelines praised him profusely.

"Brother Ji, when Mine Manager Wu comes, please help us get a few days off!" A sixteen or seventeen-year-old miner eagerly made a request to Ji Yuan.This young man was Zhou Hua, and his greatest wish was to have some rest. As for rewarding silver taels, he didn't think too much about it.Mining is indeed very hard work. Every night after finishing work and having dinner, almost all the miners fall into a deep sleep as soon as they lie down on the bed. The sky is dark, the sun and the moon are shining, and it is estimated that they will not be awakened by thunder outside.

"Hehe, brother Zhou, we just rested yesterday, do you want to rest again?" Ji Yuan asked with a smile when he heard Zhou Hua's words.

"Hey, I just want to ask us to have a rest time, but we can keep this rest time until later when we want to rest, do you think it's okay?" Zhou Hua smiled and touched it with embarrassment Touch your head.

"Okay, there is no problem at all. Brother Zhou, if you don't tell me, I will bring it up. I can say that these few pieces of ore are priceless." Ji Yuan said with a smile on his face, and at the same time said to the miner surnamed Li:

"Brother Li, go and call Mine Manager Wu over immediately."

"Okay, I'll go right away!" Excited, the miner surnamed Li ran out as fast as possible, and the other miners who carried the ore out also came back one after another. When those people came back, they saw Ji Yuan and all of them They didn't work but chatted together. Not only that, but they all looked very excited. Several people walked over with some doubts, and when they saw the eight red ores, Several people were stunned.

A quarter of an hour later, a rough voice came through:

"Where is the good ore?"

Before Ji Yuan and the others saw anyone, they heard Wu Kouzhong's rough mine voice coming over. After a short while, Wu Kouzhong's figure appeared, and Wu Kouzhong ran over with an excited expression on his face. , the miner surnamed Li followed behind panting.

When everyone saw Wu Kouzhong coming, they hurriedly made a gap. When Wu Kouzhong came to the ore, he saw the special ore at a glance. When he saw it clearly, his eyes suddenly glowed red, and his face was even more flushed. , while stroking the few pieces of ore with his hands, he kept wiping the sweat from his forehead, and muttered to himself:

"Could this be the Red Red Profound Essence? According to ancient books, this should be the Red Red Profound Essence. Judging from the color, it shouldn't be wrong. It's the Red Red Profound Essence!"

When everyone saw Wu Kouzhong's expression, they knew that they benefited a lot today. They looked at each other, and their eyes were full of surprise.

"Haha! Haha! Haha! Good! Good! Good! It's great! Great! I didn't expect it! I didn't expect to dig out the legendary red red black ore. This is really the red red black ore. Ah, red chijing ore, the top-level material used by ascetics to refine magical weapons according to legend.

I never thought that I could see this legendary red red black ore in my life. The value of these few red red black ore is already immeasurable. I have to report to Master Zhu immediately. You all have made great contributions today. , especially Ji Yuan, your credit is simply too great. With this credit, you can ask Master Zhu for anything he can do. "Wu Kouzhong was so excited that he laughed wildly and said to Ji Yuan in a somewhat incoherent manner.

"Captain Wu, is what you said true? Can I make any request to Lord Zhu?" Ji Yuan asked in surprise when he heard Wu Kouzhong's words.

"I will never lie to you. Don't look at Mr. Zhu, who usually looks serious and majestic, but he is also a well-known master in the martial arts. He is the most loyal and loyal. He has always been clear about rewards and punishments." Wu Kouzhong replied with a smile.

"That's good! Captain Wu, let me make a request to you now, that is, our mining team can be rewarded with a few days of rest, what do you think?" Ji Yuan didn't put on an air, and immediately put forward his request.

"Ji Yuan, there is absolutely no problem with this. I can give you five days off, and I can also make the decision. This time, each person will be rewarded with 50 taels of silver." Wu Kouzhong said with a smile.

"Huh? 50 taels? 50 taels?"

"50 taels? I'm dizzy? I never dreamed that I could have 50 taels of silver."

"Ah! 50 taels of silver, really? So much?"

"Ah, for 50 taels, I can get a wife!"

……

Everyone, including Ji Yuan, was stunned when they heard Wu Kouzhong's words. To them, 50 taels of silver was simply an astronomical figure, which many people could not even imagine in their lifetime.

"Okay, you don't need to continue mining today, now immediately lift these pieces of red red black ore up, and five of you go to the top to find some thick ropes and round sticks. Don't look at these pieces of ore. For such a large piece, each piece must weigh more than [-] catties." Wu Kouzhong said affirmatively.It seems that Wu Kouzhong still has some understanding of the red red black ore.

And Ji Yuan already knew the weight of the ore when it broke open the ore, and the initial estimate of each piece is at least this weight, which is astounding.

After a while, the five miners found a few thick ropes and round sticks. Wu Kouzhong told Ji Yuan how to carry the ore. First, they put the sticks on the ground, and tied a piece of ore tightly with a rope. Then move the ore to the log, pull it by a few people in front, and pry it with wooden sticks in the back by a few people in the back, so that it doesn't take much effort to carry the ore up. [

If you use the lifting method, even ten people can't lift the 1-jin piece of ore. The most important thing is that it is difficult to lift if there are too many people. Originally, the era could split the ore again, but now Wu Kou Zhong was present, and it was hard for him to show off his strength and skills.

Besides, he didn't know the value of the red red black ore was so high at the beginning. If he had known, he would have split the ore into smaller pieces.

After that, it took them more than five hours to move the eight pieces of red red black ore to the ground. Unsurprisingly, the news that Ji Yuan mined the red red black ore in their mine immediately spread, and within an hour the entire mining area The miners and guards all know.

Wu Kouzhong was afraid that the ore would cause unnecessary trouble, so he immediately notified several captains to block the news, and no one was allowed to spread it. If anyone leaked the news, he would be executed immediately.

Afterwards, Wu Kouzhong dispatched dozens of guards from other captains to guard the ore, and immediately sent a letter to Zhu Yuetian who was far away in Jingzhou City.
