Chapter 102 Crater
Turning back to look at the old fortune teller, Li Xiao said with some distrust, "You don't want to take revenge on me, do you?"
"Ahem~! How could it be possible?" Qian Banxian said with an embarrassed expression.
After examining the old man in front of him, Li Xiao immediately said: "My name is Li Xiao, I don't know what you call me?"
"My name is Qian Banxian." Qian Banxian said directly.
"Qian Banxian? Is this your name or a nickname?" Li Xiao asked.
"It's the name, that's what's written on the ID card!" Qian Banxian said.
"Um, is it possible that either of your parents can tell fortunes? They actually predicted it in advance and gave you such a name!" Li Xiao said with a smile.
"Ahem~ Tell me what you are looking for! Although I am not a native of Huoquan Town, I have traveled all over Huoquan Town in the past few years, and I still know most of the places!" Qian Banxian changed the subject.
said.
"Well, that's it. We want to find an unexplored crater. Do you know where this can be found?" Li Xiao said directly.
"Why are you looking for that thing? Why don't you just go to the developed scenic spot over there and take a look?" Qian Banxian was a little confused and asked.
"It's not a big deal. We don't like too much excitement, but we are curious and want to find a deserted crater to take a look." Li Xiao joked casually.
"Well~ I do know that there is such a place, but there is nothing interesting to see there. I didn't know you..." Qian Banxian thought for a while and said.
"Really, how about taking us to see it?" Li Xiao said, and then said: "Well~ I won't let you lead the way in vain."
As soon as he heard that it was good and beneficial, Qian Banxian suddenly looked happy and said with a smile: "There is no need for this. In fact, it doesn't cost much. It's just a bit far and the road is not easy to walk. If you can trust me, I will do it tomorrow."
Just come here and take you to see it!"
After taking out two hundred yuan and handing it to Qian Banxian, Li Xiao said, "That's it. This is the deposit for you. I'll give you another eight hundred yuan when we get there tomorrow."
"How embarrassing! Haha~ Where are you staying? I will go directly to the hotel to find you tomorrow." Qian Banxian pretended to dodge, then put the money into his pocket with a smile.
"At nine o'clock tomorrow morning, you can just wait here. We will come to find you." After Li Xiao said this, he turned around and left the place with Baihua.
Looking at Li Xiao's retreating figure, Qian Banxian still had a smile on his face. Setting up a stall to tell fortunes was a matter of luck. Sometimes, if the situation was good, he could earn several hundred a day. If he was unlucky, he might not be able to do anything for more than ten days.
You may not be able to earn a hundred and eighty yuan.
And if you guide someone tomorrow, you can earn a thousand yuan. This is a good job for a half-cent person who earns his living by cheating and cheating!
Thinking of this, Qian Banxian immediately bent down to put away the stall, then picked up the maza and left the lively street.
…
The next day, after pushing down the hotel room, Li Xiao and Baihua came again to the place where they met Qian Banxian last night.
Qian Banxian, who arrived early, was wearing coarse clothes and no longer wearing his sunglasses, and was waiting there with an anxious look on his face.
As soon as he saw Li Xiao, Qian Banxian rushed up to him and said with a smile: "Guanzhu Li, you are finally here!"
After carefully looking at Qian Banxian, who was dressed as an old farmer in front of him, Li Xiao couldn't help but smile and said: "Why did you change your clothes so that I almost didn't recognize you? By the way, did I come very late? This
It’s not even nine o’clock yet!”
"Haha~ The place I want to go to today is in the mountains, so I changed into ordinary clothes... Let's go now, it's a bit far there." Qian Banxian said with a smile. In fact, the tunic suit he wore was from when he set up a stall.
As for my outfit, I was going into the mountains today, so I naturally changed it.
"Okay, let's go to the parking lot first and drive out." Li Xiao said to himself, and then walked towards the parking lot with Baihua and Qian Banxian.
After driving the car out of the parking lot, under Qian Banxian's guidance, he drove out of Huoquan Town.
Not far after leaving the town, they turned off the highway and drove onto a country dirt road. After a series of twists and turns until Li Xiao was dizzy, the car finally arrived at the foot of a hill.
"Guanzhu Li, you can't drive any further, so you have to walk." Qian Banxian said.
"How far is it? We've been walking on the dirt road all morning, right?" Li Xiao asked depressedly.
"It's coming, it's coming! In fact, this place is connected to the crater on the other side of the town. It's just on the back of the hill. The location is a bit remote, so no one pays attention to it." Qian Banxian explained.
"Okay, let's get out of the car and go. I really hope it's not in vain." Li Xiao said speechlessly, and then got out of the car first.
Leaving the car at the foot of the hill, Li Xiao and Baihua, led by Qian Banxian, walked into the forest on foot.
Slowly climbing up the hill, in a depression, Li Xiao finally saw the so-called crater, and was immediately disappointed. All he saw was a small puddle about one meter in diameter, with a bend of turbid water floating on it.
There are yellow and fallen leaves, and a warm air slowly rises.
Pointing to the small puddle, Qian Banxian said: "This is the crater."
"Is this water a low-level hot spring?" Li Xiao asked.
"No, this should be rainwater, but there is geothermal heat below, so the steam comes out." Qian Banxian explained.
Nodding, Li Xiao turned to look at Baihua and asked, "How is it?"
Staring at the small puddle, Baihua frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "It should be about the same."
Hearing this, Li Xiao still had some hope in his heart, and said to Qian Banxian: "Okay, but we have something to take care of here for a while. Would you like to go down the mountain first and wait for us, or...
."
"Um... do you know the way down the mountain?" Qian Banxian said hesitantly.
After smiling, Li Xiao took out 800 yuan, handed it to Qian Banxian, and said, "This is no problem. You can go back first, or you can wait for us in the car."
Putting away the money with a smile, Qian Banxian said: "Then I'll leave first. You can drive back to the town along the dirt road later." After saying that, Qian Banxian smiled broadly.
Turn around and walk down the mountain.
He was a little afraid that Li Xiao would regret it and ask for the money back. Although it was not a close journey, it was nothing to Qian Banxian who walked around the countryside all year round. Maybe he could meet some business along the way.
Woolen cloth.
After Qian Banxian walked away, Li Xiaocai said, "Do you think there will be fire crystals here?"
"I'm not sure, but that annoying feeling is there, but it's just very weak. Viewer, you'd better dig and take a look." Baihua said uncertainly, then stepped back a few meters away, signaling Li Xiao to dig and take a look.
look.
"You're not going to retreat so far, are you? I didn't ask you to help dig..." Looking at Baihua's actions, Li Xiao was speechless.
"Haha~ It's not that I'm afraid of getting dirty, but it's because if there is a fire crystal here, it will most likely be accompanied by the energy of earth and fire, which will be very harmful to Baihua!" Baihua said with a smile.
"It's impossible. If there was any earthly fire energy, the world spirit would have come out to absorb it long ago!" Li Xiao was sure that there was no earthly fire energy here. After saying this, he took out the shovel from the space.
When I came to the lower mountain area on the side of the small water hole, I started digging.
Although the soil and rocks formed by the weathering of volcanic rocks are not too hard, they cannot be easily dug with a shovel. The shovel in Li Xiao's hand is different. It is produced by Space, although it is not a high-quality product.
, but it doesn’t take much effort to dig out rocks.
As Li Xiao dug, he dug aside the rocky soil outside the puddle, and soon dug out a ditch as deep as the puddle. In fact, it was only twenty or thirty centimeters deep, and it was directly connected to the puddle.
There was only a thin layer of rocks blocking it.
Jumping up to the puddle, Li Xiao raised his shovel and smashed it against the blocking layer of rocks.
Bang~! With a muffled sound, the rocks shattered, and the sewage in the puddle flowed out. In an instant, the water in the puddle was not drained clean.
Taking off his Taoist robe and shoes, Li Xiao jumped barefoot into the puddle that was no longer filled with water, and used his shovel to clean up the mud at the bottom of the pit. Then, Li Xiao dug around the puddle.
This puddle is a bit small, making it inconvenient to use a shovel. It would be better to enlarge it to facilitate subsequent excavation.
After the diameter of the puddle was expanded to more than two meters, Li Xiao began to dig downward. As he dug deeper and deeper, Li Xiao gradually disappeared into the pit, and only saw the shovel continuously
They threw gravel and soil out of the pit.
Li Xiao kept digging in the hole as deep as one person, but at this moment, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, is there any fire crystal here? If he keeps digging like this, it will take years and months to dig it! Don't do it!
Even if I dig through the mountain, I can't find the fire crystal!
Li Xiao kept digging in his hands. He raised his head and shouted outside the cave: "Baihua, do you think there really is no fire crystal here? We have dug so deep and we haven't seen it yet."
"Master, you are too anxious. How can the fire crystal be dug out so easily... huh~?" Halfway through her words, Baihua suddenly frowned, took a few steps back, and then said: "Master, it's the earth fire.
There must be a fire crystal underneath!"
Li Xiao, who was in the pit, also made a move at this time, and then shouted out with a wry smile: "I already know, the world spirits have come out to demand the energy of earth fire."
Just when Baihua sensed the energy of earth fire, the cold voice of World Spirit also entered Li Xiao's mind: "Task: Absorb the energy of earth fire. Reward after completion: 36,000 Dao coins, Dao Nong combat power.
Improved by 200 points!”
