Chapter 172 Peerless Cold Crystal
The south is already hotter than the north, and now it is summer. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can feel the scorching sun.
Geng Kai held a sunshade fan and kept covering Zhen Qing's head to avoid smudged the delicate chairman.
However, standing on the edge of the mine, the cold air emitted from the mine, ejaculation of everyone's heat was gone, and Zhen Qing even shivered.
Looking down the mine, they looked at each other one after another.
I saw a layer of white powder condensed at the bottom of the mine.
And the closer it is to the bottom, the more obvious and thicker the powder becomes, and it feels like a layer of white foam is covered.
"What is that? It won't be..."
Zhen Qing exclaimed, but she didn't have the nerve to say the complete words afterwards.
Because in her opinion, that layer of powder is really like white frost, or even ice residue.
In the south, you can rarely see white frost and ice slag in the wild, and even in winter, these two things rarely appear.
But there are some things in the refrigerator, so Zhen Qing doesn't even know these two things.
But what time is it now?
How could white frost and ice slag be exposed to the scorching sun like fire but not melted?
So she was embarrassed to say it was complete.
But even though she didn't say it in full, everyone still understood what she meant.
"Chairman Zhen guessed correctly, that is Bai Shuang and Bing Zha!"
Dong Cheng replied, "Everyone should feel this chill, right? The more you go to the bottom of the mine, the thicker the chill, so there is white frost and the bottom is full of ice slag."
"But... why is this happening?" Zhen Qing exclaimed.
"We don't know either!"
Dong Cheng shook his head, "I have been in the mine for almost ten years and have never encountered such a strange scene. In addition, there was a major accident yesterday, and the workers were scared, so they didn't dare to continue digging down."
At this time, there was not even a single worker under the mine, and all the workers were standing around the edge of the mine, whispering one by one.
Of course, there will be superstitious mentions such as "catastrophes from heaven", which are all in one go.
Hu Yiheng had never encountered such a scene before, so he could only turn his face to look at Meng Hao and ask carefully: "Master Meng, what's going on?"
When Meng Hao saw this scene in the mine, he had already calculated it in his mind.
Then he was ecstatic to discover that the kind of spiritual thing he perceived repeatedly through intuition was actually not an ordinary species, but a mineral called cold crystal.
This kind of cold crystal stone has been recorded in ancient books. It is said that it can emit a sharp cold air. Even a small piece of ping-pong ball can freeze an adult directly.
But there are rare cold crystal stones, and there are only a few who have seen this thing from ancient times to the present.
However, under this mine, there are not only one or two cold crystal stones, but thousands of large and small cold crystal stones, forming a small mine cave.
It's similar to a crystal mine cave.
The reason why Meng Hao was ecstatic was because the cold environment formed by cold crystal stones was an excellent place to practice the starry sky body washing technique.
Moreover, the coldest aura emitted by the cold crystal stone is itself a powerful spiritual power. As long as he can spend a few days to absorb these cold air, it will be more useful than hundreds of Polygonum multiflorum.
But he couldn't tell Hu Yiheng the truth, so he could only shake his head and say, "The coldness is so strong that I'm afraid that if I dig it down, most people will freeze, and... something unimaginable will definitely happen!"
"What should I do?"
Hu Yiheng suddenly became anxious, "Master Meng, you must think of a solution! All our Mingyu Industry hopes are on this mine. Once there is a problem with the mine and it is impossible to continue to produce jade, Mingyu Industry will almost be ruined!"
Meng Hao made a move to think about it, and then said, "Let the ordinary workers evacuate this place and clean up other mines first. You can gather people who have been strong and healthy. It is best to go down with me. Follow my instructions, dig a small hole with your bare hands and tell me after you figure out what is going on!"
Hu Yiheng was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed to Meng Hao repeatedly and said, "Fortunately, Master Meng is here! Qingsong, hurry up and find someone!"
Gao Qingsong agreed and discussed with Dong Cheng.
After that, ordinary workers were left, leaving only five tall, strong and experienced workers.
In addition, Gao Qingsong and Dong Cheng, plus the other three other generals present today, took action in person, and a total of ten people carried shovels, pickaxes and other excavation tools, and followed Meng Hao to the bottom of the mine.
Meng Hao took a quick look at the bottom of the mine, and pointed to the southwest direction, digging at about 45 degrees.
All ten people were strong and strong, and Meng Hao was there to give them guidance and tell them which angle they were more labor-saving to get a shovel and pickaxe from, so although they were operated with bare hands, the digging speed was not too slow.
Whenever I encounter large stones, Meng Hao will do it himself.
Everyone saw that he was thin and thin, and they could be said to be standing with ten of them, and they were simply weak.
But every time he stretched out his hand, he could easily lift the big stone up.
Ten people were all shocked, especially Gao Qingsong and Dong Cheng. When they thought about trying his skills before, they felt their scalp numb.
As the mines dig deeper and deeper, the colder became more and more compelling.
Several big men couldn't bear it, so they had to ask the people in the mine to find cotton coats and pants to put on.
But after digging down for a while, even though they were wearing cotton coats and trousers, all ten people were so cold that their lips turned blue and white.
Even Meng Hao had to use his power to resist, so he had to let all ten people go up, leaving him to continue digging down by himself.
Gao Qingsong and others were so cold that they could not bear it. After hearing Meng Hao's words, they hurriedly followed the small hole they had just dug out.
It was not until the outside that the few people felt the chill gradually fading.
When Zhen Qing saw that they came out, he hurriedly asked Meng Hao how it was.
Gao Qingsong said: "It's too cold below. We are almost frozen into popsicles, so Master Meng asked us to come up first, and he stayed under the ground alone to continue digging!"
Zhen Qing was a little worried, but thought that with Meng Hao's ability, there should be no problem, so he barely calmed himself down and asked Hu Yiheng: "What's going on with Boss Hu? Why is the temperature below so low?"
"I don't know either. This is really a strange thing that I have never heard of!" Hu Yiheng said.
Several people fell into silence again, and all stared at the bottom of the mine.
Gao Qingsong and others took off their cotton coats and pants, and saw that it was getting late. Gao Qingsong asked, "Dad, Chairman Zhen, it's already noon. Why don't we stay here, you two go down to have lunch first?"
"Ah Hao didn't come up, how could I eat it!"
Zhen Qing shook her head.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly felt a slight vibration. At the same time, a sharp chill rushed straight up from the bottom of the mine, like countless invisible sharp knives, shaving everyone's faces hurt.
Zhen Qing was caught off guard and screamed "Ouch" and couldn't help but fall backwards.
Fortunately, Geng Kai was beside her and kept supporting her with the sunshade fan. He quickly reached out to support her, so he didn't let her roll down the mountain.
Zhen Qing only felt the coldness invading the bones, just as if she suddenly walked into the cold winter in a thin shirt.
