"What the hell is black soil?"

Du Yeshen's question is very representative, and it directly asks the key point.

Old Man Xun was stunned for a moment, shook his head slightly, obviously he didn't know the answer, Tang Qing said that he wanted to see the book "Shou Shanzhi", Xun An on the side handed it to him, just somewhere in the lower corner of the bookshelf, judging from the color of the paper, this "Shou Shanzhi" has a very long age.

"Be careful, some of the pages are rotten. Xun An reminded him, and took out the "Shoushan Zhi" with both hands, and was very careful in his movements.

Du Yeshen was closer to Xun An, reached out to take it, he didn't realize why Xun An was so careful, grabbed it with one hand, and lifted it, and then, he saw the dust flying, and the pages that were scattered at that time were like flying butterflies, revealing the beauty of the bleak wind.

"I, I didn't mean to. ”

Look at Tang Qing who stretched out his hand tightly, and look at Xun An, who just said a "little", the other party's reminder is still in his ears, but who knows that this page has decayed like this, how did he finish turning the page in the first place?

Du Yeshen's expression was full of embarrassment, he touched his cheek, and said, "What, is there any such book? Find another one to see, I'll look for it, I'll look for it." ”

"I've looked for it all, but I haven't at all. Xun An said a little unhappily.

Old Man Xun raised his hand to stop him from continuing to condemn, and said with a smile: "It's okay, you go and take a look, maybe there is something we haven't found." ”

Du Yeshen put down the fragments in his hand, and with his movements, the pages were fragmented again, and those fragments, large and small, flew down one after another, and many wreckages fell on the table.

He looked at it, the smile on his face couldn't be maintained, the hand that grabbed the book rubbed it on his robe, turned his head and went to the bookshelf, and said, "I'll look for it again, look carefully, I'm sure I can still find the same, this kind of book, there can't be only one." ”

Xun An wanted to say something, opened his mouth, glanced at Old Man Xun, and didn't say anything, Tang Qing noticed the words on the broken page, and understood in his heart that there was probably only one book in this book, because this was a handwritten book, not a printed one, which means that this may be a book that was stored after it was written at that time, and under normal circumstances, this kind of book will not have a second book, and no one is idle to write the history of a place twice, especially in that environment at that time, there may not be a popularization of culture, and there will not be too many people who can write.

Of course, this was all based on what he knew about the ancient, and if this was another plane with strange powers, then things would probably be different.

Tang Qing didn't reach out to touch the fragile pages again, his spiritual power quietly swept over each page, and he speculated on the important content from the remaining words on it.

After reading it, I found that it was indeed as Mr. Xun said, the key points have been said, the other party did not hide it, and then look at those fragments, the books at that time were still too thin, and the content of the records was too little.

"Do you remember? Before we entered the city, we had seen the location of this city, and the road between the two peaks was blocked by the road, leaving only one way into the city, and there was only one gate in the city. ”

Generally speaking, no one has cultivated fertile fields on the hills, there are problems with inconvenient water supply, and there are also reasons for the inconvenience of planting and harvesting, and there are no similar fields outside the city, is this city completely dependent on commerce?

Isn't there something wrong with not having its own products and relying entirely on external transportation?

Moreover, as a town guard, they just don't want people to come here more often, to ensure that there will be no problems in the "black soil", that is to say, for them, the best result is to maintain the status quo, and the addition of foreign commerce can easily destroy a certain town defense situation that is difficult to maintain here.

Looking at the location of this city, it is not what a commercial city should be, so it is likely that there is no commercial activity brought by outsiders here, and it should be a near-completely closed self-sufficiency model, ensuring that the so-called ten good people are chained to this city and let them be used as a source of repression.

Old Man Xun helped the frame of his glasses, and there was already an obvious indentation on the bridge of his nose, which probably made him a little uncomfortable, and then rubbed it again, and then said: "It should be, I have also thought about this problem, but I have not found anything now." ”

Tang Qing didn't say any more, the other party can exchange information to this point, at least it is good, and the rest, he still looks for it according to his own ideas.

Black soil, the first thing that comes to mind is the land, then, a semi-enclosed city, its land...

The sound of flipping books came from the bookshelf, and Du Yeshen was already looking for something, but his brows were furrowed, and the irritability on his face could almost be turned into substance.

Xun An frowned, watching him flip through the books and put the books in a mess, and finally couldn't help it, and stepped forward and said, "I've looked for it here, but I haven't found it here, don't let it go." ”

As soon as Du Yeshen heard it, he understood that the other party was disgusted with himself and caused trouble, and said with an embarrassed smile: "I've found it, so quickly, then, I'll look for it here." He changed his direction and began to look for it, seriously or seriously, but those words really gave him a headache, and after a while, the movement was big again.

Tang Qing used his mental power to flip through the book, so that the action could be much faster, most of the things found from it were still the same case files as before, only the beginning had no process and no result, as if it had not been tried, which was very abnormal.

Since there are still officials in this city, no matter how good they are, they will not ignore these cases, and indifferent bystanders do not conform to the principle of "keeping goodness", that is, they are not capable enough, and there is always a process of dealing with them, but these cases are all about someone coming to sue someone on a certain day, and what about the future?

There is no official reply to this, and there is no investigation of the case, it is like a story with only a beginning, and there will always be only a beginning.

Tang Qing didn't look at it anymore after reading the part, said hello to Old Man Xun and walked out of the room, Du Yeshen heard it, and hurriedly said: "What, I'm done looking here, I'll go to other rooms to look for it, and I'll tell you what I find." ”

After speaking, he walked out of the room with Tang Qing, and after leaving two steps, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Xun An's kid is quite imposing, I always feel that I am wrong again when he has a cold face, this temper is not like Old Man Xun." ”

Tang Qing glanced at him, and finally he didn't feel it, the other party had long felt that they were an eyesore, but because of Old Man Xun, or because of the principle of "keeping good", he didn't say anything, but in terms of behavior, he felt that they were redundant, and he also showed this attitude.

The spiritual power is hidden and fast, many rooms Tang Qing did not enter, before he walked over, the spiritual power had already swept over, and there was nothing that caught his attention, so he did not enter, and there were still people in some rooms who were working, these people were all in a state of ignorance to them, there was no smile on their faces, but they did not look too cold, it was a serious office look.

Du Yeshen didn't dare to speak much in front of these people, and there was a general sense of fear of officials, "All of them are cold, and it's not easy to get close to them." ”

"Managers. Tang Qing replied casually, and then walked to the north, this is the most central location of the city, but it is just a remote courtyard, there is not even a tree in it, a cold scenery.

"What is this, why is there no one?"

Du Yeshen was already aesthetically tired, these houses felt fresh at first, but after a few entrances, the scenery was still almost the same, and there were not many changes, which made him lose interest.

Tang Qing ignored his words, walked directly to the courtyard, and only took a step in, and found that there was a difference here, sure enough, is the central area the key?

This is also in line with the general principle of guarding, layers of protection, and all the perimeters are aimed at this center.

"Then you can rest, I'll go in and have a look, and I'll come out in a moment." ”

The situation in each room was similar, the tables and chairs were complete, Tang Qing asked Du Yeshen to find a room outside to sit and rest, and he entered the courtyard by himself.

Silence, boundless silence makes the sound of breathing noisy, Tang Qing unconsciously held his breath, and when he found out, he breathed out gently, slowed down the rate of breathing, and his heartbeat became faster, he walked in step by step, as if he had walked into an exotic space, the absolute silence was like heavy pressure, falling from the sky, making his sweat unconsciously seep out, and some itching could be felt at the collar.

This is a courtyard similar to the courtyard outside, there are rows of rooms on three sides, there is nothing special one by one, looking in from the pane, you can see the tables, chairs, bookshelves and other furnishings inside, some books and pen and ink are still on the table, and some chairs are obviously pulled out partially, as if someone has left and not returned to their places.

The rooms on the left and right sides did not cause any pressure on Tang Qing, his mental power could still move, but there was a feeling of adhesion, as if he was paddling in the glue that was about to solidify, the more he moved forward, the more obvious this stickiness became, and it was obvious that when he was ten steps away from the room in front of him, Tang Qing stopped, and it was already difficult for him to move forward.

And the room in front of him was not the end, there were no curtains on those panes, he could see the furnishings inside, just like the rooms outside, there was nothing special, the presence that caused these pressures was not on the surface of sight.

If it is more profound, his spiritual power cannot be explored.

"Okay, no, let's go, let's see what Old Man Xun and they find. ”

Du Yeshen couldn't sit still, when he was alone in the room, looking at those existences, knowing that there was no one else, but there was always a feeling of hair in his heart, he came back to find Tang Qing, but he didn't go into the courtyard, he walked so far, he was also a little tired, stood at the door and shouted twice, waiting for the other party to respond.

This courtyard was not big, a distance of more than a hundred and ten steps, and he was sure that Tang Qing could hear it.

His loud voice did make Tang Qing come back to his senses, looked at the room opposite, and sighed lightly, he could do it by forcing it in, but what if he did it? That kind of weirdness is not good for himself, and he has no interest in the other party, so why harm others and himself.

"Okay, let's go. Tang Qing turned around, his heavy steps gradually relaxed, and he had a feeling of lightness when he walked out of the courtyard gate.

Yes, yes, the contradiction is there.
