Chapter 553: Blue-faced Ghost II
As Seocho turned to Mu Yirong on the left, after traveling a distance, he was shocked to find that under the fallen leaves under his feet, there was a wide mountain road.
It's just that there are a few thick half-cut tree stumps buried on the mountain road, and in the dark night, it is difficult to find anomalies in the distance.
Mu Yirong, who squatted down, pushed away some of the dead leaves that someone had deliberately scattered on the mountain road, revealing the rut marks below.
Then he stood up, walked around the stump on the ground, and went deeper.
Changshou was like a mudskipper jumping out of the water, jumping in front of Mu Yirong and Seocho at once, blocking the way.
"The two adults, the little one finally advises the two of you, there are mountain spirits and ghosts on Qingshen Mountain, don't rush forward, so as not to be taken away by the mountain spirits and ghosts, and get lost on this mountain. ”
Mu Yirong, who has always been kind and pleasant, sank his face suddenly, and snorted coldly: "Isn't it enough to trick us all night?"
Before, when a group of miserable white faces suddenly appeared in the forest, they could emit a strange and terrifying laugh, which was really terrifying.
However, just now, Mu Yirong had clearly seen that the miserable white face pinched in Seocho's hand was a fake head made of paper, like a round white lantern, with eyes and a blood-red mouth painted on it, obviously someone was playing tricks.
Changshou heard that the citizens of Daoqiupu County died, and they were all buried on the mountain. It is not surprising that someone pierced a paper figure when worshipping their ancestors, and it was blown away by the wind.
And this is one of the reasons why he doesn't want Mu Yirong and the others to go up the mountain, because in the whole world, there is no tomb that is not haunted!
Mu Yirong was about to be angry with his longevity, and he said with a calm face that the miserable white face was fake, and the blue-faced ghost was also fake. The alarmist legends told by the people of Qiupu County have been debunked, and there is no need for longevity to scare them with these things, they will not be fooled and will not go down the mountain.
The longevity of his face has not changed, and he grew up listening to the stories of the mountain god of Qingshen Mountain since he was a child, even if someone pretends to be the mountain god of Qingshen Mountain, it cannot be said that it was done by the people of Qiupu County. Perhaps, it is the bandits of the eared green water dragon, in order to hide their whereabouts, pretending to be ghosts to scare people.
This is also the second reason why he is reluctant to Mu Yirong and the others to go up the mountain, the thieves dare to rob and kill people, and it is nothing to kill two or three officials. For their own safety now, they should go down the mountain to Chizhou City for help, and then go up the mountain to search.
Squinting his eyes at Mu Yirong, who was longevity, he laughed, and said that he still said the same thing, if Changshou wants to go down the mountain, he will not stop him, he and Seocho must go to the mountain to have a look.
Seeing that he couldn't convince Mu Yirong, Changshou fell on Seocho's body: "Pavilion Master, you quickly persuade Lord Shilang, you really can't go to this mountain!"
The silent Seocho, after taking a look at his longevity, raised his legs and walked towards the mountain, followed by Mu Yirong.
With a helpless longevity, he had to keep up, and wanted to continue to persuade him, but the two of them were fast, and he could barely keep up.
After walking along the long and wide mountain road for a long time, Seocho stopped, Mu Yirong stepped forward, saw that there were dense forests in front of him, and the road stopped abruptly, and immediately looked around.
Staring at the ground in the forest, Seocho walked towards the diagonal front, Mu Yirong hurriedly followed, and found that there were traces of being trampled on the ground all year round, but if he didn't get closer, he couldn't see it at all.
If it weren't for the extraordinary five senses of Seocho, a demon, it would be really difficult to find the mountain road with tree stumps buried in the pitch-black woods, as well as this place where traces have been trampled all year round.
Soon, Seocho and Mu Yirong also found a large number of horseshoe prints in a clearing, as well as the land that had been eaten by horses or sheep all year round.
Mu Yirong, who held the sword in front of him, signaled Ruicao to be careful, and the two walked through the clearing, cautiously and vigilantly moved forward for a distance, and after passing through several large trees, they found a cave hidden with tall artemisia grass.
The cave is thought to be covered by Artemisia grass, which means that someone doesn't want to be found in this cave, and Mu Yirong, who is standing in front of the cave, thinks that this is the reason why longevity has been hindering them from going up the mountain, but he doesn't know what is hidden inside.
There may be many dangers in the cave, and if you enter it, you don't know if you live or die.
Mu Yirong, who stopped in front of the cave, hugged Seocho, and said that he had never had a chance to spare time just now to say that Seocho was gone, and he was really frightened.
Ruicao, who said sorry, said that she was chasing those miserable white faces just now, and she didn't notice that Mu Yirong didn't follow for a while, so she was really sorry.
Mu Yirong, who shook his head to indicate that it was okay, Dao Ruicao was fine as long as it was fine.
As he spoke, he looked at the cave covered by artemisia grass: "This cave is strange and may be very dangerous, I know that I advise you not to lead to it, and you will not agree." I just hope that you and I can find out everything safely. ”
Speaking of this, Mu Yirong took Ruicao's hand, stared at Ruicao's eyes, and said affectionately: "After returning from here, you and I will go to Mount Tai." Shall I be my bride then?"
Ruicao, whose eyes were misty, smiled slightly, nodded, said "yes", and threw himself into Mu Yirong's arms.
Mu Yirong, who gently imprinted a kiss on Seocho's forehead, took Seocho's hand, and the two stepped forward together to clean up the artemisia grass that had accumulated at the entrance of the cave.
After cleaning up the dry artemisia grass, the two found that the black cave in front of them was very dry, and it was a mining cave.
Chizhou does not have a mining license, and Qiupu County is not qualified to mine, but there is an apparently mined mine cave on Qingshen Mountain here.
Mu Yirong, who was standing in front of the mine, turned his head to look at the sneaky man who was following behind, hesitated and did not dare to come forward for a long time, and said a word of caution to Seocho, and then took the lead in the mine.
Seocho then followed into the mine, and when Changshou saw it, he had to follow him into the mine.
The inside of the mine is very dry, not low, and you can walk upright.
Mu Yirong was afraid that it was a saltpeter mining cave, so he didn't dare to light the torch, so he could only hold the fire fold with his hand and move forward carefully.
"What is this mining hole?"
Seocho turned around and asked Changshou, who immediately waved his hand and shook his head in a panic, indicating that he didn't know.
"You don't want the two of us to go up the mountain and pretend to be ghosts to obstruct it, isn't it because of this mine?"
Privately mining, that is a felony to lose his head, Changshou resolutely denied it, so that Seocho could not wronged them Qiupu County.
Mu Yirong, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, and the fire fold in his hand approached the stone wall of the mine next to him, and Seocho took two steps forward to take a closer look.
"It's copper. ”
Mu Yirong and Seocho spoke in unison, and after glancing at each other, a burst of electricity flashed in Mu Yirong's eyes.
He finally remembered that he had just cared more about what he was in the empty houses full of groceries in the east of Qiupu County.
It's a "sandbox"!
Yan Zhou's technology for making copper coins also follows the former Tang Dynasty, using sand box sand turning operations to make mother coins, and then carrying out a series of procedures such as engraving, through holes, and watering to make coins.
The manufacture of coins is the work of the household department, and the other ministries prohibit the minting of money without permission, and the people are even more forbidden to make coins privately, and the mining of copper ore is absolutely not allowed.
Qiupu County privately mined copper ore and made private coinage, and now, many things have been figured out.
In order to prevent officers and soldiers from searching and encircling the bandits around the county and discovering the caves in the mountains, Qiupu County has carried out a thorough cleaning of the robbery site, so that no one knows that there have been bandits killing people and stealing goods in Qiupu County.
But Qiupu County didn't expect that Ayu, who escaped death, brought the Chizhou Thorn History and conducted a search in Qiupu County, but fortunately he didn't go up to Qingshen Mountain.
It's just that Duan Linrui, who wanted to keep Ah Yu in Qiupu County, was unsuccessful, and he was worried that Ah Yu would return to Shangjing City to bring more powerful rescuers, so he ordered the county citizens to pretend to be bandits and chase Ah Yu all the way to Shangjing.
But the result was still a failure, and they could only obstruct Mu Yirong and Seocho, who came to investigate the case of the bandits' murder and stealing goods, in an attempt to use some weird and terrifying rumors to scare the two away.
Mu Yirong is a genius of Dali Temple who has experienced a hundred battles, where can he be frightened to retreat by such a story, and Ruicao is a bold person who dares to poke a hole in the sky.
In desperation, Changshou had to do his best to delay the time, so that the residents of Qiupu County had time to arrange some paper figures framed with paper paste on the mountain, and let out strange laughter, in a vain attempt to scare away Mu Yirong and the others, who saw the real haunting on the mountain.
It's a pity that Mu Yirong and Seocho are not only bold and careful, but also skilled, not only were they not scared away, but they finally discovered their secret.
Mu Yirong, who deduced the general story line, looked at longevity, so that he didn't have to pretend anymore, and he would explain honestly quickly.
