When Yi Xiaomai and Mo Ping'an fell, they were blocked by a big rock and rolled to the other side.
"It hurts!" Yi Xiaomai rubbed her head and slowly sat up.
"Ping'an, Ping'an, where are you?" After Yi Xiaomai made sure that she was fine, her first reaction was to start looking for Mo Ping'an.
"I'm next to you." Mo Ping'an said weakly.
"How are you?" Yi Xiaomai groped to touch her face.
"I'm fine, it just hurts a little when I fell." Mo Ping'an tried to sit up.
Yi Xiaomai gave him a hand, took out the flint he carried with him, and immediately lit the fire, which he then used to light the torch he carried with him.
Mo Ping'an's body was covered with bruises and purples.
"Oh my God, how did you fall so badly?" Yi Xiaomai said.
"It's okay. The most important thing is to find the mine." Mo Ping'an smiled.
Yi Xiaomai helped her up, and the two of them shone torches around and found that they had fallen on a huge rock, behind which was a cave.
The two looked at each other, a little scared, but still encouraged themselves, supported each other, and went to explore.
"Xiaomai, do you think we can find it?" Mo Ping'an grabbed Yi Xiaomai's sleeve.
"No matter what, we must try our best. We will definitely find it. Since your father came to you in a dream, and everything is exactly as he said, it is very likely that there really is a mine underneath. And I have a strong premonition that there is more than just a little mine here." Yi Xiaomai said with a bright look in his eyes and great confidence.
The two walked in with the help of the firelight. The further they went inside, the darker it became, but the road also became wider and wider.
As the two were walking, they felt like they bumped into something. Yi Xiaomai shone a torch and said, "Oh my god, is this gold?"
Even though Yi Xiaomai and Mo Ping'an came from wealthy families, they had never seen such a large gold mine. It stretched as far as the eye could see, and there were roads leading to the mining sites of each gold mine.
These mine carts and plank roads have fallen into disrepair.
But it can be seen that someone had discovered it here. Yi Xiaomai and Mo Ping'an suppressed the ecstasy and shock in their hearts and walked along the plank road to the end.
A written record was discovered: "In the 365th year of the Yi era, the god Yifu discovered a vast gold mine and ordered it mined. He originally intended to use the gold to benefit the people and fulfill their wishes. However, greed overcame him. One of the supervisors, a man named Qi, became greedy and planned to seize the entire gold mine, declaring himself the master of the land. He secretly transported the gold, but was discovered by the god Yifu and expelled. Fearing that others would covet the vast mine, Yifu used his divine power to blast the mountain, burying the mine. A villain named Qi used the stolen gold to make a fortune and build his own army, intending to fight against Yifu, but he could not find the entrance to the mine, only knowing the general direction. The Qi family refused to accept this, and passed down the story from generation to generation that their ancestors had discovered the gold mine, but they were actually shameless. When the descendants of the Yi family discovered it, they hoped to protect the gold mine and prevent it from falling into the wrong hands. Recorded by: This is the mountain god."
"According to him, this gold mine belongs to God Yifu? Who is God Yifu? His surname is Yi. Is he your ancestor?" Mo Ping'an asked doubtfully.
"I'm not sure, but according to the mountain god's records, I think God Yi Fu doesn't want this gold mine to fall into the hands of someone with the surname Qi. The only person in the world who knows about this mine and has the surname Qi is the current emperor..." Yi Xiaomai thought for a moment and spoke.
"Then are you going to tell the emperor about this gold mine?" Mo Ping'an asked.
"I won't tell you. Everyone has said that this is the mine of Yi Fushen. When his descendants come, we will give it to them to manage. If we hand it over to the emperor, isn't that against people's wishes?" Yi Xiaomai shrugged.
"But, this whole world belongs to the king. If I don't tell the emperor, I'm afraid something unexpected will happen." Mo Ping'an said worriedly.
"Every dynasty has its own ministers. Whoever discovered it first owns it. Isn't it unreasonable to seize other people's property for the sake of imperial power?" Yi Xiaomai held up his chin and added, "No matter whether it is a legacy of my ancestors or not, I feel I have the obligation to keep it secret. The emperor asked us to find an iron mine, not a gold mine. The books your father wrote about are all about iron mines, so we can conceal the gold mine." Yi Xiaomai spoke.
Mo Ping'an was about to say something when he saw a faint green light coming from the wall and a man who looked like an old man appeared.
"Kid, you make sense." The old man said with a smile.
"Who are you?" Yi Xiaomai and Mo Ping'an were shocked, but Yi Xiaomai calmed down and asked him.
"I am the recorder of what you just read. I am the local mountain god." The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile.
"Mountain God? Grandpa Mountain God, please accept our greetings!" Yi Xiaomai pulled Mo Ping'an and kowtowed to the Mountain God.
"Okay, okay, you are a good and polite child. I see that you have the aura of my old friend. Is your surname Yi?" the mountain god asked.
"Grandpa Mountain God, how did you know?" Yi Xiaomai asked in surprise.
"I told you, you have the aura of my old friend. Although it is very weak, it is still noticeable." The mountain god sat down cross-legged and waved his hand. Half of the mine was lit up with fire, illuminating the three people.
"Who is your old friend?" Yi Xiaomai sat down cross-legged, and Mo Ping'an also sat down.
"My old friend seems so distant now. He hasn't visited me for a long time. He is the owner of this mine, Ifuku God." The mountain god sighed.
