After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 391: Cave, Fire Jade Mine!
There aren't that many bargains to be found.

"hiss!"

The cobra poked its head out from Chen Yang's collar and looked around.

Let’s get down to business and look for mineral veins.

……

Coming out of Tiexiang Temple, we followed the guidance of the cobra and continued walking into the mountains.

Chen Yang took out his cell phone, hesitated for a moment, and called Wang Yuanchao.

"What's the matter? I'm doing something important here!"

The phone rang for a long time before it was picked up. Wang Yuanchao's voice on the other end sounded a little urgent.

At this moment, Liu Jianguo was convening a meeting of all the monks above the spiritual realm in Baoguo Temple.

No matter whether they were monks in the temple or lay Buddhists who had come to stay here, all those who had reached the spiritual realm were present.

At the same time, Wang Yuanchao was guarding the panda park, holding a tablet computer in his hand, with the live broadcast of the meeting displayed on the screen.

They had arranged it in advance, in this way, to let the panda identify those who were connected with the Hu family and persecuting it.

The camera gives a close-up of each person at the scene one by one.

The panda was also watching carefully.

It is indeed not the right time for Chen Yang to call me now.

……

"I want to ask you something. You should know the Iron Elephant Temple in Sipan Mountain, right? How come there is no one there all of a sudden?"

"Why do you ask?"

"I'm in Sipan Mountain right now, and I just happened to be passing by, so I just asked."

"What are you doing in Sipan Mountain?"

"Mr. Wang, what are you doing?"

Chen Yang was a little speechless. Perhaps it was because of the old man's professional habit that he liked to ask questions about everything.

Wang Yuanchao said, "Iron Elephant Temple, right? You can check the association's official website yourself. There are detailed records there. I'm busy right now and don't have time to deal with you."

After saying that, Chen Yang heard the cry of a panda coming from the opposite side.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Yuanchao hung up the phone in a hurry.

Chen Yang's face was full of black lines. This old man was indeed an impatient person.

Is it on the official website?
He opened the official internal APP of the Mountain Hunting Association.

During this period, it has been updated and optimized several times, and it is now much smoother than when it was first launched.

After opening the information page, Chen Yang directly searched for the keywords [Sipanshan Tiexiang Temple].

Soon, a lot of information was retrieved.

However, most of them are old news and useless information.

Among them, there was a pinned message titled [Handling of the 99 Sipanshan Tiexiang Temple Incident] that attracted Chen Yang's attention.

However, the information in this document is encrypted. It is an internal document of the association and requires points to view it.

And it’s not cheap.

100 points unlock content!

Chen Yang laughed. These people in the association used many tricks to recover points.

100 points is nothing to Chen Yang.

He unlocked it directly and the file was quickly displayed. He checked it as he walked into the mountains.

The document records a secret.

This incident happened in 1999. At that time, there was a huge iron elephant in Tiexiang Temple, which was said to be used to suppress the mountain. The casting date is no longer traceable. The name of Tiexiang Temple and even the name of Tiexiang Peak are all due to its existence.

When the Great Leap Forward in Steel Production was underway, some people wanted to move it down the mountain, but because it was too heavy, they eventually gave up.

Until one night in the winter of 1999, the Iron Elephant suddenly disappeared.

The temple reported the matter to the authorities immediately, but after investigation, there was no further follow-up.

It’s not that we don’t investigate, but that there is simply no way to start.

It would be extremely difficult to carry such a huge iron elephant down the mountain. Even a strong person in the spiritual realm might not be able to do it.

Later, other things started to be thrown in the temple, even including people.

At that time, the Mountain-Ganning Association had not yet been established, and the Baoguo Temple was still responsible for managing the mountain-ganning forces in Shu.

At that time, the temple sent a lot of people to investigate. After several months of investigation, they finally found out that it was a group of powerful mountain rats that were causing the trouble.

Then, Baoguo Temple sent people over to find a way to kill the rats.

But after this incident, the masters of Tiexiang Temple were traumatized. No one dared to live on the mountain anymore, and even the abbot ran away.

The Tiexiang Temple fell into decline.

……

After finishing reading the document, he realized that there was no road ahead and a dense forest blocked Chen Yang's way.

Chen Yang paused and finished reading the information.

There doesn't seem to be much useful content. It probably says that a group of powerful mountain rats appeared here and stole the iron elephant from the temple.

That's it.

As a result, the mountain rats were killed, but the iron elephant was not found, and all the monks ran away.

Chen Yang shook his head, thinking that these 100 points were not worth spending.

He originally wanted to check the origin of the Iron Elephant Temple and why the magical skills of Emei existed there. After searching, he found a piece of information that also required 100 points to unlock it.

He lost interest instantly.

Let’s study it after we finish the important work.

"Hiss..."

The eye snake poked its head forward.

Chen Yang went straight into the woods.

In the eyes of Panshan people, there are roads everywhere.

Walk through the woods and into the mountains.

Passing by several collapsed areas, Chen Yang walked around them carefully. It had been snowing in the past few days, and a lot of snow had accumulated on the top of the mountain. Once the sun came out, the snow melted into water, and the risk of mountain collapse was even greater.

There is a reason why you shouldn't go into the mountains when it's snowing, and even more so when the snow is melting.

Under the guidance of the cobra, they circled around and around and finally reached the back of the mountain halfway up Tiexiang Peak.

Coming out of the woods, I came to a flat ground and looked out.

You can see three hills around.

They are Heibao Peak, Leigong Ridge and Yudai Peak.

These three peaks, together with Tiexiang Peak, are the four highest peaks in the Sipan Mountains.

On the Leigong Ridge, there is a Leigong Cave, which is the nest of the six-winged centipede.

It's a pity that Old Wu is guarding the pass for his uncle and is not on the mountain. Otherwise, he could have visited him on his way to Sipan Mountain.

"You're not going to tell me you're lost?"

The cold wind blew, hurting people's faces. The cobra huddled in Chen Yang's arms, shivering, and was too cold to show its head.

"Fizz!"

There was a slight fluctuation in mental power, and the cobra seemed a little confused.

The mountain was covered with snow and it was a little lost. The cold weather also dulled its sense of smell.

It was indeed lost. It only remembered that there was a stream nearby, that there had been several floods in the mountains in the summer, and that it had found the stone in the stream.

The stone felt warm, and its instinct told it that it was a good thing and it would be comfortable to be close to it.

It brought the stone back to the snake den, and then the snakes gradually changed. Perhaps influenced by the stone, their skin began to turn red and their strength increased...

But the good times did not last long. There was another heavy rain and flash floods broke out. The snake's den collapsed and was destroyed by the flash floods. At this time, the cobra had developed some wisdom and it didn't want to stay in the Sipan Mountain any longer.

The destruction of the snake's nest was just an opportunity. The real reason they wanted to leave was that there lived a big demon on the other side of Leigong Ridge who often came to attack them and suck their brains.

Before, I had no wisdom, was confused and ignorant, and just got fucked. But after wisdom was born, another emotion came into being.

That emotion is called fear.

So, it thought of leaving. If it couldn't afford to offend me, it could afford to hide from me. It took the clan snakes and the stone and followed the mountain torrent to leave Sipan Mountain.

By accident, we arrived at Jiapigou.

The encounters of fate in this world are so wonderful.

……

Big devil?
Chen Yang looked in the direction of Leigong Ridge and thought that the big demon in the cobra's impression must be the six-winged centipede.

The six-winged centipede likes to suck brain marrow, especially the brain marrow of snakes, which is its favorite.

This old centipede doesn't do anything.

If it were Liu Henghu, knowing what happened to these snakes, he would probably go and kill the six-winged centipede.

Chen Yang doesn't have the heart of a bodhisattva, nor does he have the intention to be brave and righteous. Although this group of snakes were indeed bullied badly, he is not stupid enough to help them get revenge.

A stream?
Chen Yang automatically ignored the experiences that Cobra told him. The purpose of this trip was only to find the fire jade vein.

Even though the cobra is a bit lost, it shouldn't be hard to find it as long as you know the landmarks.

He took out the drone from the system space and quickly launched it into the air.

Flying around the back mountain of Tiexiang Peak.

The images sent back by the drone showed snow-covered areas and dense forests. Looking down from the sky, they looked like a bunch of cauliflowers piled together.

The scenery in the mountains in winter has a unique beauty.

After a while, Chen Yang found a stream among the mountains and forests, and called out the cobra to take a look.

It is also somewhat ambiguous, it seems to be, but it also seems not to be. Whether it is or not, just go to the site to see, it is not far away anyway.

About five hundred meters away from where he was now, a small stream, no more than two meters wide, gurgled out of the forest and slowly went down the mountain.

"Is it here?" Chen Yang asked.

"Seems to be."

Cobra gave him an unsure answer.

So let's just consider it this place.

Chen Yang directly turned on the radar, covering the entire stream, and slowly went upstream along the stream.

If this stream is connected to a certain mineral vein, then there cannot be only one piece of ore in the stream.

After walking up for dozens of meters, Chen Yang found nothing.

"Yes, it is here."

The cobra's spiritual power fluctuated, "Look at that big rock in the stream. It was washed down from the mountain during the flood last year."

Chen Yang looked up into the stream.

A stone with a diameter of more than one meter was stuck in the middle of the stream, almost blocking the entire stream. The gurgling stream water accumulated above it to form a small pool. The water overflowed from both sides and the top of the stone and continued to flow down the mountain.

Sure enough, we still need landmarks to facilitate memory.

This cobra, you say it has a good memory, it can forget its location, you say it has a bad memory, it can still remember everything that happened last year.

"Hiss..."

The cobra moved its body, as if it had regained its spirit. "Go ahead, there is a fruit forest. I found the stone in the stream there."

Chen Yang immediately followed its guidance and continued to walk upwards, with the radar scanning the stream all the time.

Soon they arrived at the location Cobra mentioned.

There is a wild plum forest around it. At this time of year, there are no plums on the trees and the weeds in the forest are very lush.

The stream turns here, and the cobra discovered the stone at the bend.

"Red kid, you're not kidding me, are you? If you are, I'll be extremely scary when I get angry."

Chen Yang had a gloomy face and named the cobra Hongwazi.

Its intelligence is equivalent to that of a three or four-year-old child. It is indeed just a baby.

The cobra shook its head quickly. It might not be very smart, but it was not a fool.

Its life is in the hands of Chen Yang, how dare it have any bad thoughts?

It had tried to launch a sneak attack on Chen Yang, but this guy's flesh was too hard. Not only did it hurt its teeth when bitten, but its snake venom had no effect on him at all.

How could it dare to have the slightest thought of resisting such a person?
Continue to follow the stream upstream.

After walking a few dozen meters, Chen Yang stopped and jumped directly into the icy stream.

Icy water, freezing cold.

Chen Yang couldn't help but shiver.

The circulation of internal energy quickly dispelled the chill. Chen Yang reached his hand directly into the water and stirred the mud at the bottom of the stream. After a while, he dug out a piece of something.

He swung it in the stream to clean it off.

An irregular palm-sized stone with a fiery red color appeared in his hand.

Fire jade raw material.

It was indeed a rough piece of fire jade, slightly larger than the previous one.

Chen Yang couldn't help but his eyebrows twitched slightly.

My breathing became rapid due to excitement.

The warmth that touched his hand made Chen Yang's heart warm.

Cobra did not lie to him, there was indeed fire jade ore in the stream.

This is no accident.

In other words, there is indeed a fire jade mine nearby.

Thinking of this, Chen Yang got up from the stream and immediately continued exploring upstream.

……

Next, Chen Yang found several pieces of fire jade from the stream one after another.

The higher you go, the greater the chance of fire jade appearing. Some are hidden shallowly, and some are hidden deep. It is obvious that they are not washed down once or twice. The silt has accumulated layer by layer, and some are buried deep in the stream bottom, less than one meter away.

Chen Yang was too lazy to pay attention to those that were buried too deep.

What he was most concerned about was the source of these fire jades.

The pace quickened a bit.

Gradually, Chen Yang discovered that the snow around him was decreasing. The further he went up the stream, the warmer the temperature became and the less snow there was around him.

Logically speaking, the higher you go up the mountain, the more snow there should be and the thicker it is. This is indeed very abnormal.

The grass and trees are becoming increasingly sparse and fewer in number.

The warmer the temperature, the more lush the vegetation should be, which is also abnormal.

Chen Yang has keenly felt that the surrounding environment has changed.

The breath of the fire element.

I'm not consciously trying to sense it, I can't sense it at all, it's very faint.

Leylines!

A vein of earth containing the energy of the element of fire.

The higher you go, the more obvious it becomes.

Chen Yang stopped at the foot of a cliff.

There aren't many plants around, it looks a bit desolate, and the temperature is obviously higher than other places on the mountain.

He flew the drone.

Looking down from the air, there is no snow in the area within a few hundred meters, which looks very strange.

After retracting the drone, he looked towards the cliff.

This cliff should be over a hundred meters high. About thirty meters above, the radar can detect a hole in the cliff.

Water flows out of the cave, flows down the cliff, merges into the stream, and flows down the mountain.

In the mud under the cliff, Chen Yang found several pieces of fire jade ore. The largest piece was almost half the size of his head.

Chen Yang took a few steps back, looked up at the cliff, silently calculated the landing point in his mind, and then suddenly jumped out.

He jumped up three to five meters high, and walked quickly on the cliff on tiptoe, his body as nimble as a swallow.

After a while, he came to the entrance of the cave on the cliff.

There is a narrow platform in front of the cave entrance, which looks like a gaping mouth.

Short and wide.

The height is only about two meters, but the width is more than ten meters.

It was pitch black inside and I couldn't see anything. It was like a giant beast with its bloody mouth open.

Water kept flowing out from inside, flooding Chen Yang's ankles.

The fluctuation of fire energy was obviously stronger.

It is difficult for ordinary people to feel the existence of this energy. At most, they can only feel the temperature changes brought about by the energy.

This kind of energy can only be keenly perceived by using mental power.

Chen Yang picked up some more fire jade ores and threw them into the system warehouse without saying a word.

The radar probed into the cave and found that it was very deep and it was impossible to reach the bottom at 40 meters.

Chen Yang didn't hesitate and walked straight into the cave.

He drew the soft sword from his waist and moved forward carefully.

This kind of place has abundant energy and grows on the veins of fire. In the world of cultivation, it is a blessed land.

There are spiritual beasts guarding some spiritual medicines, not to mention spiritual places like this one.

No one can guarantee whether there is any danger hidden in it.

With radar to guide the way, Chen Yang is not afraid. He can detect danger early and decide whether to run away.

The cave was pitch black. The mountain wind blew inside, making a humming sound like a ghost's howling, which was extremely creepy.

The temperature in the cave is obviously higher than outside, and the temperature gets higher the deeper you go.

The fire jade ore in the water appears more and more frequently.

Chen Yang was excited. It seemed that he had really found the mine.

L……

Water kept seeping down from the top and walls of the cave, and the sound of dripping water was very abrupt in this quiet cave.

The water here is no longer cold. Chen Yang can already feel its temperature. He doesn't know how far he has gone into the cave. A layer of white mist has already risen in the air.

It's heat haze!
The fog was a bit blinding, but he didn't need to use his eyes to follow the old road. No matter how thick the fog was, it had no effect on him.

More and more fire jade ores appeared in the water and on the walls of the cave.

The fire energy becomes increasingly strong.

In such an environment, the cobra also became energetic and no longer as listless as it was outside. It crawled out directly from Chen Yang's arms and dived into the water with a whoosh.

Enjoy swimming in the water.

But it didn't dare to stay too far away from Chen Yang. Such an unknown place was full of dangers for it.

From its violently fluctuating mental power, Chen Yang could fully feel its excitement. It liked it here very much.

Warm and cosy.

It's freezing cold outside, but it's like spring or the summer solstice here. Don't be too comfortable.
