Chapter 157: Black

The official looked at her with a complicated expression, her emotions were still quite obvious, and she was caught by Chen Tongsheng in the dim light, and she couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth, as if she had heard the official say in her heart, no wonder the legend is that you are so crazy!

"Because we're cursed." "This is the price we paid for leaving our homeland and betraying our homeland," the official said. ”

Chen Tongsheng felt very familiar when he heard it, and after thinking for a while, he said that this is not what the North Hunting Hall said before? What are they affected by?

If the Northern Hunting Hall and the Northern Dynasties were cursed with consent, then even if they stayed on the border of the Northern Dynasties, they would still be cursed and tortured, so even the Northern Dynasties people living here could not escape, and if not, why would they not be able to live if they left the border of the Northern Dynasties?

"Oh," Chen Tongsheng said, "then why don't you go back?" ”

How simple it is, just like the North Hunting Hall, you can't leave without it, and it's good to stay at home honestly.

The official laughed, and the laughter echoed in the mine, one by one, and Chen Tongsheng felt that he must have been treated as a violent stupid child who didn't learn anything, didn't know how to fart, and didn't understand.

"Because we can't go back." The official smiled: "Legend has it that the way to return to the homeland is to give up the foreign blood and bones and regain a new life, but isn't this death?" ”

"Who would dare to die to bet on whether they can go back?"

No wonder Chen Ke said: "The living don't enter." ”

It turns out that this is such a statement, and it is not much different from some folk superstitions, what to give up in order to get eternal life and so on, and when you hear it, you want people to give up.

"So," Chen said, "hasn't anyone tried?" ”

"Yes, yes, but since they're all dead, how do we know if they've succeeded?" The official said: "We have never believed in the past and present lives, and there are any legends of hell after death like those Gentiles, only the present is the most true and real." ”

This may also be related to the fact that the ancestors of the Northern Dynasties fled out, and on the way to escape, they were forced out of such a real concept of life and death by limited resources and living space, which is not romantic at all, but practical.

Song Chuanbai couldn't help but show a little self-deprecating and sarcastic expression, he had seen many people in Da Zhou advocate what past and present lives, immortals came into the world, but there was no evidence that could sit on the truth, in the end, it was still a group of storytellers and storytellers, or the tricks of charlatans. Even in the teahouse and the book of storytelling, strange events such as resurrection are said vividly, as if they were real.

And the people of the Northern Dynasty, where the people's ideas are so practical, the people don't believe it, but there is really something strange that is coming to them, but they don't know it.

——————

After walking for a while, he couldn't see the cave where he was scattered, Chen Tongsheng felt strange in his heart, and began to suspect that the official who led the way was coming.

Is it trying to block her in here?

Going around like this, the general mine cave is either downward, or walking into the cave for a while, why take such a curved long road, Chen Tongsheng subconsciously touched his waist, and then remembered that he didn't have a knife, and according to her current size, she couldn't hold any weapons.

Chen Tongsheng was a little bottomless without a weapon in his hand, and in such a small place, she couldn't help but lean closer to Song Chuanbai, Song Chuanbai gently stroked her shoulder in the dim with understanding, and asked, "How long will it take?" If you go any further, the adults will get tired. ”

"A little further on."

Chen Tongsheng said: "Why is it so far? ”

The official still laughed, and there was some helpless bitterness in the laughter, as if a poor man heard a rich and noble family talk about why not eat minced meat, and said: "Who wants to do things in such a deep and cold place?" This ore liquid has great requirements for mining, because it is stored underground all year round, and it begins to deteriorate when it gets hotter when it is exposed to light, and the longer it is exposed, the greater the quality, so it is mined in a shallow pit, and a deep hole must be drilled next to it to make a mining point, otherwise it can not be wanted. In the early years, there were private people stealing mining liquids, so they didn't pay attention to it, and as a result, the palace people who worked in the black workshop went crazy and exposed his workshop. ”

As he spoke, he clapped his hands and was very emotional: "As a result, let's rush over to see that the mine has been ruined and can't be wanted." ”

Think about the same is true of Feiguang, the best that has just been mined, and the longer it is mined, the more the quality will decline.

It's just that the Northern Dynasty seems to be more strict with this thing.

In the distance, I heard a rumbling sound again, and the official said, "This is the arrival." ”

"What is this?"

Turning a corner as he spoke, Chen Tongsheng saw a device that made a sound.

Workers poured barrels of liquid from a mine into the device, which flowed out of the device, sealed into tanks, and then loaded into larger boxes one by one, wrapped in layers, and pulled out by truckload.

It seems that this first place to deal with it is this device, Chen Tongsheng raised his head to look at it, the appearance only looked like a box, and he couldn't figure out what was in it, Chen Tongsheng asked: "There is such a thing in every mine?" ”

"Yes, otherwise it wouldn't be able to be mined."

The device was connected to the roof of the cave, and the one in the cave was large and conspicuous, and she turned around and saw that the device had another exit, and this small opening was connected to a long pipe, and then led into another sealed hole.

Chen Tongsheng immediately became curious, walked towards the sealed hole, and was stopped by the official in a panic: "Little nobleman! Don't come near that place! It's dangerous! ”

"What kind of danger law?"

Chen Tongsheng walked until he reached the entrance of the cave before stopping, and as soon as his head entered the shabby, closed door, he smelled a thick fragrance condensed on the door.

This is the smell of flying light that she is familiar with.

Even if she smelled a similar fragrance before, it was relatively light, and even when she drank the loose soup, her taste was sweet, but when she arrived at this place, when she smelled this heavy, strange aroma that seemed to be able to paste people's noses, Chen Tongsheng was sure that she had found the right place.

Chen Tongsheng pointed at him: "What is this?" ”

When the surrounding workers who were originally working with their heads bowed heard the movement, they first peeked curiously, and after seeing Chen Tongsheng walking towards the hole, they all turned to look at her, and their eyes were very strange.

"Ouch. You really have to stay away! The official pounced, Song Chuanbai didn't let him next to him, and at the same time strode over, and before the official stretched out his hand in a panic, he stopped Chen Tongsheng backwards, pulled him to his side, and also distanced her from the hole.

The official only thought that she would retreat, and said, "This is the waste material separated from the mineral liquid, which can make people delirious and crazy in severe cases, and this thing is just working." Although it can't be completely separated, it has filtered a considerable part of it, and also filtered out the astringency in it, and after several treatments, it can turn harm into benefit, and turn the harmful thing into a curative thing. ”

Chen Tongsheng and Song Chuanbai glanced at each other.

It turns out that the flying light circulating in the Great Zhou Dynasty is almost just mined from the mine and transported out, not to mention the processing, it can be preserved better than other merchants, and there are fewer impurities, which is already an excellent quality, and there is no such attention as the Northern Dynasties.

It seems that the people who popularized Feiguang in the first place did not even learn the fur, only knew that things were delicious, so they went to mine them later, but they were untreated.

Wrong.

Chen Tongsheng suddenly thought, since the people of the Northern Dynasty are so particular, then the mineral liquid that goes out of the mine must have been processed, how can the people of the Outer Dynasty come into contact with it?

If it is a normal loose soup, it will not be addictive to drink, as it has been recorded before, when the Gentiles taste their loose soup, at most they will only praise the deliciousness, and they will not take all kinds of risks at all, and they will still come to steal after the fall of the Northern Dynasty.

"What to do with the separated waste liquid?"

The official said, "It's all handed over to the temple together." ”

This temple doesn't sound like a place to manage sacrifices, like a more advanced workshop, Chen Tongsheng recalled, no wonder there were so many people, and the disciples who slipped around stood in a courtyard.

It was about to be cleaned up, and Chen Tongsheng didn't smell the smell of flying light at that time.

After leaving the mine, Chen Tongsheng told Song Chuanbai about his findings, and speculated: "The mine is so strictly managed, so if the waste liquid leaks, it is likely to be in the temple, or on the way to the temple." ”

Song Chuanbai smiled when he heard this: "Have you noticed the red paint number on the device?" ”

Chen Tongsheng was stunned: "I took a look." ”

"The devices in this mine are numbered, and they are all marked by the temple, indicating that this is a special thing for the temple, I am afraid that in the Northern Dynasty, only the temple or related institutions are allowed to make this kind of device." Song Chuanbai said: "It means the same thing as the official family to manage salt and silver." However, in the mines mined in the Northern Dynasties, there is another kind that cannot be equipped with devices. ”

Chen Tongsheng blinked blankly, suddenly said, "Privately dug black workshop!" ”

"Exactly," Song Chuanbai nodded and said: "I was very strange when he said it just now, the taste of the processed mineral liquid is also very different from the original liquid, of course people will choose the good taste, the mineral liquid of this black fang, the taste is definitely not as good as the last check from the temple, and the price of this mineral liquid is also a uniform low price, the emperor of the Northern Dynasty is very familiar with the living environment of his people, and would rather pour money from the treasury than make his subjects unable to drink loose soup." ”

Song Chuanbaidao: When I first came to this dynasty, I went to a market once, and I was very surprised by the cheap price of the stock solution. The taste of the mineral liquid in the black square is not comparable, and the price is not cheap, why does this boss take the risk of possibly killing his head to set up such a field? ”

It is said that there are no treacherous businessmen, and there must be huge benefits behind the things that can make businessmen take risks.

Chen Tongsheng's eyes flashed, and he blurted out: "Addicted!" ”

"They've discovered that this untreated stock solution is addictive!"

As long as you are addicted, regardless of the taste, you will treat the untreated original liquid as a heavenly ewir.
