Chapter 458 Mine Cave No. 13

"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 dug out the source of the concentrate, he would definitely take it all for himself!

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

Gu Sheng counted 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 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 Lao Litou beside him.

"Go, go, go!"

Old Li Tou directly pulled Gu Sheng forward, as if he was taboo about 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 guard?"

Lao Litou looked a little ugly and pulled Gu Sheng a few steps forward again.

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

Lao Litou 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.

"Why……"

Old Li Tou sighed, "Xiao Sheng, I've been working in this mining area for decades, what kind of weird things haven't I seen? Weird things have been happening in Mine No. 13 since it was discovered."

"Yes, I 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 No. 13 was sealed 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? Lao Litou, please tell me in detail."

Gu Sheng continued to ask.

"I can't tell you the specific things. But those who came out said that they saw something they shouldn't have seen in the mine. Some said they saw ghosts, and 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, 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 No. 13.

Lao Li shook his head and said, "No matter what!" But even if he did, no one could explain clearly what happened inside. Later, the management gave up, and later, Mine No. 13 became a It’s taboo, no one dares 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.

"ah?"

Old Li Tou's expression changed, "Xiao Sheng, I advise you not to take risks. This ghost mine doesn't get its name for nothing. Very few people who go in come out safely."

"Xiao 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 Mine No. 13 is really so evil, it means there must be something good in it.

Otherwise, why would those so-called "evil things" be guarded there?

Gu Sheng felt a little shaken after hearing everyone's dissuasion. After all, survival was the most important thing.

However, Gu Sheng felt a sense of longing in Mine No. 13, 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, waved his hand with a smile and continued: "But I think we can't just give up. If Mine No. 13 is really so evil, there must be wealth in it that we can't imagine. I'm willing to risk it." If you don’t want to take this risk, I won’t force it.”

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

But in the end no one spoke anymore.

Gu Sheng knew that he couldn'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 carts of crystals.

It can be said that this efficiency is extremely low.

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

In the evening, Gu Sheng found Elder Li Yuan.

"Elder Li, I want to enter Mine No. 13 to dig for crystal stones."

Gu Sheng said it bluntly without covering up.

"What?"

Elder Li Yuan looked at him in surprise and said, "Xiao Sheng, are you crazy? That's a ghost mine. Not many 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 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 cultivators from the Holy Land of Light to guard outside Mine No. 13 to protect your safety. ”

"Forehead……"

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 the miners generous remuneration has already achieved Gu Sheng's goal.

"Okay, thank you elder."

After Gu Sheng finished speaking, he exited the room.

The next day, Gu Sheng told his thirty miners about the incident.

He stood in front of everyone and said firmly: "Brothers, I decided to enter Mine 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. You Would you like to go with 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 boldly!"

The strong man patted his chest and said his name.

When Gu Sheng heard this, he felt a little bold.

Seeing his aggressive look, Gu Sheng felt satisfied.

"Okay! Zhang DaDa, you are one of them, who else is there?"

Gu Sheng asked.

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

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

"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, Xiao Sheng takes the lead, what are you afraid of? Even if you 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 prepared to enter Mine 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 those so-called 'evil things' to 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 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 the dozen or so people and asked loudly.

"Ready!"

the miners answered 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 sound sounded like someone whispering, or like the wind whistling.

Gu Sheng's heartbeat quickened, 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 looked like some words, recording something in a mess.

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

"Don't touch those symbols, they may be curses."

Old Li warned.

"Uh..."

Gu Sheng was stunned, then nodded, bypassed those symbols, and continued to move forward.

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

They marked the walls to avoid getting lost.

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

"嘤嘤嘤..."

The sound sounded like someone was sobbing quietly, and it was a woman!

"Why is there a woman crying?"

"I heard it too, but where are the women in our mine?"

Several elderly miners whispered.

After hearing this, Zhang Dadan 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 sound of a woman crying, but he didn't say it out loud.

In this way, they followed the sound and found a dark cave.

"Why is there such a cave here?"

"Yes, according to conventional mining, you shouldn't dig a hole here."

Old Li stepped forward and looked outside the cave entrance, and at the same time raised the candlelight a little inside, trying to see as clearly as possible.

"Hiss..."

Old Li didn't know what he saw, and he took a breath of cold air and hurriedly stepped back.

"What's wrong?"

Gu Sheng asked.

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

Old Li said with a trembling voice.

"What is it?"

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

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

The walls of the cave were covered with more mysterious symbols.

And 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 the No. 13 mine.

"These are just some sacrificial items. What's there to be afraid of!"

Zhang Dabing looked disdainful.

"Crashed!"

He kicked suddenly.

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

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

Old Li said angrily.

"What's the matter? There are so many of us, are you still afraid? If I were to say, you, Old Li, have lived so long in vain."

After Zhang Dabing finished speaking, he stood there and laughed.

"You..."

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