Capital Volume 0194 There are also sores under the feet of the Buddha
"Yes! Ye Qingchou, listen to what you said, this is a semi-official card If you really send tiles to Zhongzhou, then these tiles may also have the government as a backstage! With the support of believers, the monks of the Hanging Temple are not so easy to do!" Huo Qinglong, who was added as he said this, shook his head.
"Even if you, a medical immortal disciple, testify, can't you?" Ye Qingchou looked at Huo Qinglong and asked.
"No, you know? The key problem is not here but the burning of tiles, mining and other kinds of work, it is easy to get lung disease and some special diseases, in other words, some people in some industries have some diseases, it is not a strange thing, Shi Nong and Gong, why Confucianism only ranks work before business, this is also a reason, and there are even people who think that it is disrespectful to do this work, but even this has to be done by someone!" Huo Qinglong said here and shook his head again, there are many occupational diseases in many industries, especially mining and smelting, it can be said that lung disease and poisoning are rare and strange, unless there are too many people who are sick, but now this kind of person will be replaced in half a month, I am afraid it is not easy to investigate!
"Then what if you take advantage of those two Celestial Cultists who are coming here?"
Hearing Ye Qingchou's words, Wang Feiyu was stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted, "Senior brother, you have a wonderful idea! By the way, the two Heavenly God Sectists sent here can't be the two in the town before, right?"
"That's right!" Huo Qinglong said from squatting to standing up, "This Heavenly God Sect disciple was sent here so quickly, it seems that the Buddha Sect didn't check it well, but just wanted to tear the skin of the Heavenly God Sect, but we don't know what the specific situation of those two people is now!"
"It doesn't matter if you know it or not, I just want to spread the news to the people here and the temple of the Heavenly God Sect!" Ye Qingchou seemed to have his own idea very quickly, but after saying this, Ye Qingchou seemed to be suddenly stunned.
"What's the matter, Senior Brother Ye, why are you stunned?" Wang Feiyu looked at Ye Qingchou's sudden stiff movements and was a little puzzled.
"Nothing. Ye Qingchou rubbed his forehead and couldn't help but think of what the old man had said in Beichen Pavilion this time......
...... After a few more days, the group of four people got closer and closer to the center of the sand sea......
"This is that purple-red sand? This is left over from previous mining?" grabbed a handful of sand from under his feet and looked at the sun, without the help of 'Zhou Tian Xingyan', Wang Feiyu could not determine the composition of the sand for a while, but it looked like it was turned into slag after mining.
"Yes, Dao Chief, although this kind of sand is the slag left over from mining, I didn't expect that after it turns into sand, it is quite suitable for burning bricks and tiles, and the believers who come here every year have to grab a handful for their health. ”
"It's a strange thing, but if you just burn bricks and tiles, it's not very useful!" Wang Feiyu said and let go of his hand, and the sand in his hand leaked.
"That's it! Look, this sand is nothing to look at except that the color is purple!" Geng Erzi didn't know why the three people in front of him wanted to see the purple sand, but the other party insisted on coming to see him, and it was not easy to stop him, but it was not easy to lead the side of the burning tiles.
"You said before that you burned tiles, and there is a kiln here?"
Hearing Ye Qingchou's question, Geng Erzi hurriedly replied: "Ye Gongzi, that is the place where the government exiles prisoners and works as coolies, and ordinary people are not allowed to pass. ”
"Don't let it pass?"
"Yes, do you think about sending someone over in this sandy place, there is such a big sea of sand on all sides, where can you easily escape?" said Geng Erzi involuntarily looked at the place where the tiles were burned, and he would never go to that place again in his life! I remember when I was a child, my father took him over, and the people who burned the tiles there were still ordinary civilians, as long as they worked for more than half a year, none of them could walk well, and his uncle lay in bed for three months, and finally died of severe pain and pus, and the appearance of bruises and pus when he died is still his nightmare! Later, when he buried his uncle, the people in Zhuangzi said that he was too greedy for money, and the Buddha blamed him, and he didn't even let him enter the ancestral tomb! Later, too many people died, and even many overseers and supervisors fell ill, and then the news was blocked, and the kiln was changed to half a month to a month, and then the coolies were also punished, and the prisoners. Later, when he grew up, he overheard people who knew a lot about it, and only then did he know what was going on with this thing, but unfortunately, at that time, the purple sand tile was already famous, not only for the monks of the Hanging Temple, but also for the royal family, plus in this Hongyan Sea and fed so many people, it can't stop!
Wang Feiyu also looked around, a purple red, with the blue sky, it actually gave people a very weird feeling. On the other hand, Huo Qinglong was filled with two small porcelain bottles of purple sand for himself, and he planned to go out of the sand sea in the future to do a good test to see how toxic the sand was.
Retracting his gaze towards the kiln, Geng Erzi said, "Three, it's not too early for this weather, let's catch up a little more, if?"
"Let's take a break today! Camp here, since it's purple sand, maybe the sunset is a nice view. ”
"That's right! Senior Brother Ye is right! It's good to look at the sunset!"
"Yes, although I have been to some places with Master, this kind of scenery is only seen! Huo Qinglong was naturally not in a hurry, he had seen clearly that when the second son of Geng arrived here, it was easiest to look to the west, there was something there in nine out of ten, it might be a place to burn tiles, but it was not easy to transport wood here, and the tiles were definitely not cheap......
At night, he used the incense on Geng Erzi again, Wang Feiyu and Huo Qinglong stayed behind, and Ye Qingchou rushed all the way in the direction that Geng Erzi saw the most during the day, stepped lightly on his feet, and jumped up at a distance of two or three zhang, about an hour later, Ye Qingchou saw a small grove of trees, there were several rows of houses next to the bushes, and the fire behind the house was sky-high, and it seemed that there was still smoke.
"It's finally here!" Looking at the target in front of him, Ye Qingchou unconsciously slowed down his pace, but then he felt the left foot that had just fallen sink down.
"Quicksand?" Ye Qingchou hurriedly stepped down with his right foot, and leaped up again by the collision of the true qi and the sand under his feet, as his speed increased, every foot just stepped on the sand, and the quicksand didn't have time to catch the person, the person had already moved forward!
Soon, by the moonlight, Ye Qingchou came to the front of the building he had seen before, looked around to avoid the sentry, Ye Qingchou tied the cuffs and the collar of his neck, and chose to drill the sand again, fortunately, it was relatively empty under the sand, and it didn't take much effort. He remembered that when his master Long Zibei taught him to drill sand, he said that this sand was drilled far away until the first day, but few people were willing to drill it until the first day......
"Poof!" When Ye Qingchou came out of the sand again, he had already come to an empty sand surrounded by tiles, turned out and looked around to make sure that there was no one, shook the sand that had gotten into his clothes, and when the sand was almost cleared, Ye Qingchou touched the place where there was firelight......
"Give me more energy! The master of the temple is still waiting to consecrate these tiles!"
The sound of the leather whip spread far away, even in the middle of the night, it was still brightly lit and in full swing, after all, the place where this purple sand tile was asked for recently was a bit too much for this kiln! The overseer stood at a distance of ten zhang from the kiln, waving a long whip in the air, while supervising this group of workers with shackles, each of them was sweating bareless, and the hair of two of them was golden in the firelight, it was the two Heavenly God Sect disciples who were sent to the Wenxin Temple by Ye Qingchou.
"What are you doing? Don't talk to each other! In my land of Yanhua, just use Yanhua's language for me, and don't talk about birds!" Seeing that the two Celestial God Sect disciples began to talk to each other in their own language again, the overseer was very dissatisfied! He planned to separate these two people tomorrow! It was clear from the above that these two people would stay for a month.
And with the reprimand of the overseer, all the coolies named by the overseer received the baptism of crossbow arrows with their heads removed, leaving blue marks on their skins, which is the characteristic of this place, and the coolies who made mistakes in front of the kiln were not whipped but crossbow arrows with their heads removed;
"Give me a good job, the more diligent I do, the sooner I can leave here, what is it bad to escape, I have to escape the card, is that able to escape? The government has some inns in the seven hundred miles of sand sea, and it is not easy to replenish water, don't come to the 'Red Rock Sea' without paying!"
Accompanied by the headless crossbow arrows, the overseer scolded and educated a lot, and felt thirsty again, so he patted his deputy on the shoulder: "You continue to watch here, I'll go drink saliva!"
"Yes!"
Returning to the small room not far from him, the overseer tore off the rag covering his face and took out a bottle of treasured wine from under the table, but just as he was about to uncork the bottle and take a small sip, he felt a chill on his neck, and his eyes glanced down, and there was a half-foot sharp blade on his neck!
"What does this mean, brother?" said as he snatched the bottle of wine from the overseer's hand, 'My wine!' Seeing that the good wine in his hand was snatched away, the overseer did not dare to move except for the mouth.
"Don't be verbose, I'll ask you to answer!" a cold voice sounded in the overseer's ears.
"Brother, no, uncle, slow down, my skin is going to break!" Feeling the coolness on his neck becoming tighter, the sweat on the overseer's forehead began to drip down!
"Don't talk nonsense! Where are all these tiles you burned?"
"Both...... It's all sent to the Hanging City, where a stupa has recently been built!"
"If you stay here, you're not afraid that the tiles will be poisonous?"
"Uncle, this thing is mainly poisonous when it is fired, and our supervisors do not easily approach the cellar furnace, the farther away from the cellar furnace, the safer it is; When Ye Qingchou heard this, after thinking about it, sure enough, the people who supervised the work before were far away from the cellar, and many of them found a cloth to cover their faces.
