"Not bad! I admire you very much."
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 the back of Elder Li Yuan and secretly prayed in his heart that if he found Refined Ore Source, he would definitely take it all for himself!
Waiting until the next day, Gu Sheng took the miners assigned to him early to prepare for action.
Gu Sheng checked the number of people, there were about thirty people.
Being able to lead these thirty people is considered a small contractor in modern society.
"Everyone, follow me!"
Gu Sheng waved his hand and led the crowd of thirty people in the direction of Mine Shaft No. 15.
Number one, number two, number three...
In this way, Gu Sheng walked to the location of Mine No. 13.
But at this time Gu Sheng noticed that Mine No. 13 seemed very quiet.
There are other people guarding the other mines outside, and other equipment is also staying 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 around and asked Old Li Tou beside him.
"Go, go, go!"
Old Li Tou directly pulled Gu Sheng towards the front, as if he was tabooing something.
Gu Sheng was filled with doubts. He stopped and asked again, "Old Li Tou, what's going on in Mine No. 13? Why is there no one around, not even a guardian?"
Old Li Tou's face looked a little ugly, and he pulled Gu Sheng forward again for a few steps.
"Little Sheng, this mine No. 13 is not an ordinary place, it is Ghost Mine."
Old Li Tou lowered his voice and said.
It felt like telling a ghost story.
"Silicon ore?"
Gu Sheng was stunned for a moment, then a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes, "You mean, there is silicon ore in it? That is a priceless treasure!"
"What's not a silicon mine? The Ghost Mine I'm talking about is a haunted mine."
Old Li Tou explained with a speechless expression, "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 cold water on.
"Haunted? What age are you living in, and you still believe this? Old Li Tou, don't scare me."
Gu Sheng frowned slightly, and suddenly felt a chill on his back.
"Hey..."
Old Li Tou sighed, "Little Sheng, I have been working in this mining area for decades, what kind of strange things have I not seen? Since the discovery of Mine No. 13, strange things have continued to happen."
"Yeah, I've also heard that some of the people who went in went crazy when they came out, and some died suddenly. It's very evil."
"I heard about it too, so Mine Tunnel No. 13 was blocked and has not 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 about such a thing just after he became the leader of the miners.
But as a good man in the new century, how could he believe it so easily?
"What exactly happened? Old Li Tou, please tell me in detail."
Gu Sheng continued to ask.
"I can't tell you the specific things. But those who came out said they saw something they shouldn't have seen in the mine. Some said they saw ghosts, some said they heard strange sounds, and others said they saw some unexplainable phenomena."
Old Li Tou said what he had heard.
"Some people also said that there was poisonous gas and corpses in it."
"Yes, I've heard that too, it's quite impressive."
other miners said.
Gu Sheng's brows furrowed even more tightly, and he was thinking secretly.
"Then Elder Li Yuan doesn't care? Just waste such a good resource like this?"
Gu Sheng sighed and glanced in the direction of Mine Tunnel No. 13.
Old Li Tou shook his head and said, "Don't care! But even if you do, no one can tell clearly what happened inside. Later, the management gave up, and later, Mine No. 13 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 silent entrance to the mine, and felt a desire to go in and find out.
"Old Li Tou, tell me, if we go in, will we also encounter those strange things?"
Gu Sheng asked tentatively.
"Huh?"
Old Li Tou's expression changed, "Little Sheng, I advise you not to take risks. This Ghost Mine's name is not for nothing. Very few people who go in can come out safely."
"Little Sheng, you are young and have a bright future. It is not worth taking this risk just for temporary curiosity."
"That's right, it's not necessary."
Other miners also echoed.
Gu Sheng was silent for a while, thinking secretly in his mind.
If this Mine Tunnel No. 13 is really that evil, it means there must be something good in it.
Otherwise, why would those so-called "evil things" be guarded there?
Gu Sheng listened to everyone's dissuasion, and felt a little shaken. After all, survival is the most important thing.
However, Gu Sheng felt that Mine Tunnel No. 13 had a sense of longing, as if the things inside were attracting him.
If there is really something "evil" guarding there, then there must be some unknown treasure hidden inside.
So Gu Sheng secretly decided to explore this mysterious mine no matter what.
"Okay, brothers, I know you are doing this for my own good."
Gu Sheng finally spoke, smiled and waved his hand and continued, "But I think we can't give up just like this. If Mine Tunnel No. 13 is really that evil, there must be wealth that we can't imagine. I am willing to take the risk. If you are not willing, I will not force it."
The miners looked at each other, some shook their heads, others sighed.
But in the end no one spoke anymore.
Gu Sheng knows that he can't be too anxious.
"Okay, let's go to Mine No. 15 today."
Gu Sheng said, taking the lead in the direction of Mine No. 15.
The miners heaved a sigh of relief and walked towards Mine No. 15.
In this way, after a tiring day, mine No. 15 only brought out three loads of crystals.
It can be said that this efficiency is extremely low.
Gu Sheng was sitting outside the mine, looking at Mine Tunnel No. 13's steering wheel and thinking about his thoughts.
At night, Gu Sheng found Elder Li Yuan.
"Elder Li, I want to enter Mine Tunnel No. 13 to mine crystal stones."
Gu Sheng Nothing to hide, straight to the point.
"What?"
Elder Li Yuan looked at him in surprise and said, "Little Sheng, are you crazy? That's Ghost Mine. Not many people who go in can come out safely."
Gu Sheng smiled disdainfully and said, "Elder, I know the legends about that mine, but I don't believe them. If there is really danger inside, I am willing to bear it."
Elder Li Yuan was silent for a while, and then said, "Have you really decided? This is not a child's play."
"I've decided."
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 solemn.
"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 reward. In that case..."
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 several Shaking Light Holy Land cultivators to guard outside Mine No. 13 to protect your safety."
"Um..."
Gu Sheng was stunned for a moment.
What's the use of guarding outside the mine?
It just sounds better.
However, being able to promise to give miners generous remuneration has achieved the goal of Gu Sheng.
"Okay, thank you elder."
After Gu Sheng finished speaking, he exited the room.
The next day, Gu Sheng told the thirty miners under him.
He stood in front of everyone and said firmly, "Brothers, I have decided to enter Mine Tunnel No. 13. I know there are risks there, but I also know that there is wealth we can't imagine. I am willing to take the lead. 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 ten times the reward, some were inspired by Gu Sheng's words.
"Ten times the reward, can I go?"
Suddenly, a strong man from another mining team rushed over.
"As long as you are willing to join us and are not afraid of those rumors."
Gu Sheng said with a faint smile.
"I'm not afraid! I'll join too!"
The strong man replied directly.
"Okay! I allow you to join. What is your name?"
Gu Sheng asked.
"Zhang Dadan!"
The strong man patted his chest and said his name.
Gu Sheng felt a little bold when he heard this.
Seeing his aggressive look, Gu Sheng was satisfied with the winter.
"Okay! Zhang Dadan, you count as one, who else is there?"
Gu Sheng asked.
At this time, other people also started talking in low voices.
"Is that okay? Then Ghost Mine, I don't know what's going on down there."
"Ten times the pay is equivalent to working once and taking nine days off. I think it's a good deal."
"I think it's okay too. He Little Sheng is taking the lead. What are you afraid of? Even if you die, he will die first!"
"Do you want to do it or not?"
"Do it!"
In the end, most people agreed to follow Gu Sheng and prepared to enter Mine Tunnel No. 13.
"Okay, now that everyone agrees, let's get ready."
Gu Sheng nodded with satisfaction, "Let's set off now. Remember, we have to be prepared and bring all the necessary equipment. We want to let those so-called 'evil things' know that we are not easy to mess with."
The miners nodded.
Then, 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 Tunnel No. 13.
Each of them was carrying the necessary equipment and had nervous expressions on their faces.
"Brothers, are you ready?"
Gu Sheng looked at these dozen people and asked loudly.
"Ready!"
The miners replied in unison.
"Okay, then let's set off. Remember, no matter what we encounter, we must unite and face it together."
Gu Sheng said, taking the lead into the darkness of the mine.
The miners followed.
After entering the mine, it was dark and humid, and there was a musty smell in the air.
Gu Sheng and the miners moved forward cautiously, candlelight lighting up the road ahead.
As they went deeper into the mine, they began to hear some strange noises...
The voice sounded like someone whispering, or like the wind howling.
Gu Sheng's heart beat rapidly and he observed his surroundings vigilantly.
"Huh? What is that?"
Suddenly, Gu Sheng saw some strange symbols carved on the walls of the mine.
These symbols look like some words, recording something horizontally and vertically.
Gu Sheng wanted to step forward to check, but was held back by Old Li Tou.
"Don't touch those symbols, they could be curses."
Old Li Tou warned.
"Um..."
Gu Sheng was stunned, then nodded, bypassed the symbols, and continued moving forward.
After going deeper, they found that the passages inside the mine became more and more complicated, like a maze.
They mark the walls so they don't get lost.
Just when they were confused, they suddenly heard a strange sound.
The voice sounded like someone was sobbing secretly, and she was a woman!
"Why is there the sound of a woman crying?"
"I heard it too, but where are the women in our mine?"
Several old miners whispered.
After Zhang Dadan heard this, he said with disdain, "What nonsense are you talking about? Why didn't I hear it!"
"Everyone, be careful!"
Gu Sheng reminded.
Because he also heard the woman crying, but he didn't say it out loud.
Just like that, they followed the sound and found a dark cave.
"Why is there a hole like this here?"
"Yes, according to conventional mining, holes should not be dug here."
Old Li Tou stepped forward and looked outside the cave entrance. At the same time, he also raised the candlelight a little further inside, trying to see as clearly as possible.
"Hiss..."
Old Li Tou didn't know what he saw. He suddenly took a breath of cold air and hurriedly retreated for a while.
"What's wrong?"
Gu Sheng stepped forward and asked.
"There seems to be something inside... there is something inside!"
Old Li Tou said with a trembling voice.
"What?"
Zhang Dadan didn't believe it and rushed in with a torch.
After entering the cave, Zhang Dadan saw some strange sights.
I saw more mysterious symbols covering the walls of the cave.
And in the center of the cave, there are actually some old sacrificial supplies.
The supplies looked old and were covered in thick dust.
Gu Sheng and the miners looked at each other and realized that this cave might be the key to unlocking Mine Tunnel No. 13's secret.
"These are just some sacrificial supplies, there is nothing to be afraid of!"
Zhang Dadan looked disdainful.
"Wow!"
He kicked out suddenly.
The sacrificial supplies and the table were knocked to the ground, causing a cloud of dust.
"Zhang Dadan, are you too bold?"
Old Li Tou said angrily.
"What's the point? There are so many of us, are you still afraid? Let me tell you, you Old Li Tou have lived so many years in vain."
After Zhang Dadan finished speaking, he stood there and laughed.
"You..."
Old Man Li just wanted to argue with Zhang Dadan, but was stopped by Gu Sheng.
