Chapter 122 Black Gold Stone
In the end, Xu Boan could not wait for the answer to his curiosity about "Lefang".
The summons coming from the Dishan Temple in Hongya Village at the sub-base distracted Xu Boan for a moment.
Things have priorities, Xu Boan naturally understands.
The next moment, Xu Boan hurriedly focused his attention on the mountain temple inside the bonsai.
In an instant, the scene of the mountain temple appeared in Xu Boan's mind.
Two bubbles stood in the air, and Xu Boan immediately clicked on the bubble at the Hongya Village sub-base.
Then, the line of sight switched, and Xu Boan once again saw the familiar scene of the sub-base.
But at this moment, this place seems a little bad.
Everything within sight is not as orderly as usual.
On the contrary, it was a mess, and even the screen with the words "Barrier Thousand Eyes, Mountain God and Land Live Together" was pushed to the ground.
Xu Boan was stunned subconsciously, wondering what was going on?
Could it be that the Shanyang Order was defeated miserably and the rebels had already attacked? Has even the Earth Mountain Temple in this village been affected?
After thinking for a moment, Xu Boan overturned his idea.
This temple is just a temple of the mountain god and earth. It is not a palace or a clan ancestral hall.
Even if the rebels are strong and have fought all the way to this point, there is absolutely no reason to destroy the Tushan Temple.
After all, no matter who rules the world, it has nothing to do with the gods.
The next moment, Xu Boan, who was confused, suddenly felt a figure flashing beside him, and then saw a man in sloppy linen clothes limping from behind the statue to the front.
As he walked, he tied his belt and cursed: "Huh, you have short hands and soft mouth, I think you are not sensible at all, you can't do anything just by taking things." "My Niu Twelve's things are not that easy to get. I'll give you a pee to loosen the soil!"
Xu Bo'an felt sick for a while, my dear, so it turned out that this guy peed on the statue of a god after running away?
Too much, really too much!
Although Xu Boan seemed to have no sense of smell, he vaguely felt the smell of urine coming from behind.
It’s so cool. The forest is really big and there are all kinds of birds. It’s not unusual to come here to burn incense and worship the gods.
Even in the legend, the most excessive ones are just making firewood in the temple and killing people just to get along.
Here you go to urinate! This was the first time Xu Boan saw him.
This guy really has a big brain!
You said that if this god doesn’t show his power, what’s the point of peeing here? No one would know anyway.
If the gods appear and you offend the gods, why bother?
Besides, it would be so embarrassing if someone found out about this. It just adds to the trouble.
Xu Bo'an was puzzled and felt that Niu Twelve was indeed sick.
Niu Twelve had his own reasons. He looked at Xu Boan with a cold face and said provocatively: "Huh, I feel much more comfortable now. I will spare you this time and I will never give you a confession again." ”
Well, it’s just for venting, it seems like it’s not just a mental illness.
Seeing Niu Twelve walking outward with one foot deep and one shallow, Xu Boan realized that the other person was most likely drunk.
Soon I felt something was wrong again. His pace was caused by his disability.
This is strange. The other party is not drunk, and there is nothing wrong with his mind. Where can he be so generous? He wants to vent his anger on Tutu Mountain Temple.
Already here, Xu Boan was bored. Seeing that the man was about to go out, he immediately said: "Hey, you guy, stop for me."
Niu Twelve Hearing this, his body was startled and he slowly turned around. There was no fear in his face, just a hint of doubt.
"Who called me?"
Xu Bo'an said sternly: "Nonsense, besides this god and you, who else is there in this temple?"
Niu Twelve Not afraid, but rather angry: "God? You said you are a god!"
"How?" Xu Bo'an asked curiously.
Niu Twelve was full of anger and shouted angrily: "You say you are a god, but why are you so blind? I think I, Niu Twelve, am very pious to you. I would like to have a glass of wine during the holidays. , on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, there were three sticks of incense, and I picked some fruits that I couldn’t bear to eat, so I brought them to you as a tribute. I beg you to keep my father safe at work. You accept my incense and take my tribute, but why not Protect him."
Xu Bo'an was immediately confused by Niu Twelve's blabbering accusations.
We have never enjoyed the wine at all.
To say that you ordered the incense stick now, but here at the sub-base, it only has a summoning effect and does not increase my incense wish.
Xu Bo'an discovered a long time ago that only in the base camp of the mountain temple on the other side of Yushan Mountain can he have the increase in incense power caused by burning incense on weekdays, and the basic incense refreshed at zero o'clock every day Willing power.
In the sub-base, it is more like a side mission. Only when tasks such as helping the other party fulfill their wishes are completed, will the incense will power be generated.
As for the Niu Twelve in front of me, I have never seen him before, let alone fulfilling my wish.
There is no reason to be insulted and scolded.
Xu Bo'an cleared his throat and said majestically: "You guy, you keep saying that you are pious, but why do you do such a heinous and rebellious thing? You are so presumptuous and do such filthy things next to my statue. ”
Niu Twelve did not give in, and retorted sternly: "You accept my incense, but do not do practical things first. Why should I be loyal to you? If this is the case, how can it be said to be treason."
Xu Bo'an said sternly. : "Have I ever asked you for incense or tribute? You came here on your own, offered incense and tribute, and then made a request to me and asked me to do it. If I didn't do it, you would slander me and humiliate me. Scold me! If this is the case, why should I be a god? I might as well be your slave!”
When Niu Twelve heard this, he seemed to think that what Xu Boan said was quite reasonable, and he didn’t know what to say. , was silent for a moment.
Xu Bo'an added: "If one person offers incense, wine and fruits, praying for rain tomorrow so that he can sell his umbrella, and another person offers incense, meat and food, praying for sunny weather tomorrow, so that he can dye cloth. Go and sell it, who do you think I should listen to? Who should I obey? If I am satisfied with one person, can the other person come to me openly and humiliate me at will? If neither of them is satisfied, can the two of them join forces to destroy the walls and destroy my temple? If so, what should I do?"
Niu Twelve heard this? , already sweating profusely and trembling all over.
"To sum up, Niu Twelve, do you know your guilt?" Xu Bo'an shouted louder and louder.
When Niu Twelve heard this, he was startled, his knees went weak, and finally he knelt down with a "pop" sound, banging his head heavily on the ground, and shouted with tears streaming down his face: "Niu Twelve Guilty! Niu Twelve is guilty!"
Niu Twelve looked up again, and Xu Boan saw that his forehead was red and blue, and it was obviously a real knock.
Xu Boan saw Niu Twelve crying and said in a deep voice: "A man, why are you crying?"
Niu Twelve choked up and said: "I only hate that I am incompetent and can't replace my father. After leaving work, my father dragged his sick body to the mining area at an old age, and ended up with the same disabled end as me!" Hearing this, Xu Bo'an couldn't help but feel sad for the father and son, and sighed softly. After taking a breath, Xu Bo'an enlightened: "Everything in the world is reasonable as it exists, life is short, and experience is destiny. It is a blessing, not a disaster, but disaster cannot be avoided. No matter how much you cry or make trouble, you can't help your father's recovery. What’s the point of it? Let’s face life and do our best.”
Niu Twelve said with dull eyes: "Grandpa Fairy, I am suffering. My parents just got married when they were in their forties and gave birth to me. I have been suffering since I was a child. I lost my mother when I was three years old and became disabled when I was ten years old. I have not been married for more than 30 years, and I have never had a full meal or a good night's sleep. I was dependent on my father, but he suffered a mining accident. My father narrowly escaped death, but I had no money to treat him. I feel guilty. "< br>
Xu Bo'an said: "All living beings suffer. If you can survive till now and stand here talking to me, you are already less miserable than many people. Many people have never even met their parents. You haven't even experienced the spring, summer, autumn and winter of this world, you can't even leave your own house, and you can't even get off the edge of the bed. Compared with them, what do you think your father is willing to see? Are you like this now?"
The words woke up the dreamer, and it seemed that in an instant, the tears in Niu Twelve's eyes stopped.
Niu Twelve squirmed his mouth a few times, and then said: "Grandpa Fairy, this house is in a mess, don't you blame me?"
Xu Bo'an laughed and said: "They are all external things, I am a believer. What can I blame you for? It’s the people who built the temple and protected it in the village who blame you.”
Niu Twelve said with a guilty look on his face: “I know I was wrong. Pack it up here. I'll give you an explanation."
Xu Bo'an said calmly: "If you can trust me, why not take the time to carry your father here and let me check on his health."
After mastering the medical skills, Xu Boan was very confident.
Niu Twelve looked happy and kowtowed: "Thank you, Grandpa God, for your blessing."
After a pause, he said again: "Grandpa Immortal, they have injured a lot of people this time. Can I ask everyone to come with them?"
Xu Bo'an has just mastered the superb medical skills and is getting excited. .
Like novice drivers who have just learned to drive, they especially like to touch cars!
But in the real world, people are worried about being too ostentatious and causing unnecessary trouble.
At this moment, in the bonsai world, it is time to display my medical skills, which can be regarded as conducting clinical trials.
Xu Boan then said cheerfully: "No problem, just come. When the time comes, I will burn incense as a token of my faith. If I am free, I will come to find you."
Niu Twelve He kowtowed again: "Grandpa Immortal is kind, Niu Twelve is reckless in front, and rude in the back. I am willing to be punished by Grandpa Immortal, and I also ask Grandpa Immortal to punish me." For the sake of filial piety, I will let this matter go for the time being. If you behave rudely again in the future, I will make you suffer the consequences."
Niu Twelve also heard the god's forgiveness for him and immediately burst into tears of gratitude. He said: "Grandpa Fairy, look at my performance in the future, I will never...I...I..."
Seeing Niu Twelve being so excited that he couldn't speak, Xu Bo'an again Said: "Okay, don't talk about this anymore, Niu Twelve, let me ask you, did you just say you went to the mining area to dig? What kind of mine were you digging!"
Xu Bo'an is very curious about the energy and resources in the world of bonsai.
Niu Twelve wiped away his tears and said, "To tell you what Grandpa Immortal said, it's a black gold mine."
"Black gold mine? What is this? Tell me carefully!" "Xu Bo'an asked curiously.
I have heard of gold, platinum, platinum and even colored gold. Is it possible that the gold of the Jing Dynasty was black?
Niu Twelve explained: "Grandpa Fairy, black gold mine is a kind of black ore. After it is produced, it is also called black gold stone. It can be used to ignite fires, keep warm, and cook. It can be warm and boil water. It is also very fast to cook, much more powerful than wood and firewood, and there is no smoke, so it will not make people blind like firewood. However, this thing is very expensive, and ordinary people are reluctant to use it. , only rich people can afford it, so it’s called a black gold mine.”
Niu Twelve was not surprised why Grandpa Immortal didn’t know what a black gold mine was. To put it simply, the black gold mine is useless.
Gods don’t care about heat or cold, and don’t need to eat. Isn’t this thing just a useless stone?
Xu Bo'an became more and more familiar with it. At the end of it, he lamented that he was really confused.
The black gold stone that Niu Twelve was talking about was the coal that he often saw when he was a child, and it was also anthracite.
I actually forgot that coal is called "black gold"!
Although now, with the improvement of living conditions, gas and heating are available for cooking and heating, civil engineering still often purchases a large amount of coal when winter construction is required.
Many construction sites even store some spare coal behind their own canteens for emergency use when the gas goes out, or they use boilers to heat themselves and supply hot water.
Therefore, Xu Boan is very familiar with coal.
It seems that no matter what kind of world we are in, energy and resources are precious.
Xu Bo'an slowed down his tone and said kindly: "It turns out that most of the black gold stones are hidden deep underground, with a few in the shallow soil. When mining, without all-round safety protection, It’s really easy to get hurt.”
Niu Twelve’s eyes widened with emotion.
Gods are indeed gods. No one knows what a black gold mine is. Just by listening to myself talk about it, I can already tell what kind of existence it is.
You can definitely pinch and calculate!
Niu Twelve’s eyes looked at the statue of the god and became extremely pious: "Grandpa Immortal is absolutely right! Niu Twelve was confused. He actually offended Grandpa Immortal before. From now on, Niu Twelve will definitely... …”
Before Niu Twelve finished flattering him, Xu Boan suddenly noticed a feeling of exhaustion coming over him.
I habitually glanced at the standing incense on the incense table. Sure enough, the incense was about to burn out.
Xu Bo'an hurriedly interrupted Niu Twelve's words and said: "Okay, I have something to do now, so I will take the first step. When you bring your father back, remember that incense is trust."
After saying that, Xu Boan withdrew and his eyes returned to the car again.
Niu Twelve heard Grandpa Immortal’s voice drifting away, feeling ethereal. When he looked up again, he found that the statue no longer had the majestic feeling it had just now.
It is then guessed that Grandpa Immortal must have left this statue.
Seeing that it was getting late, Xu Boan started the car and was about to leave.
Suddenly, the passenger door was suddenly pulled open.
A woman in a red dress with long legs stepped up easily. Xu Boan was stunned for a while. After all, the car's territory was very high.
Before Xu Boan could speak, the woman reached out and quickly closed the car door, and said in a cold tone: "Drive!" with an angry face.
Xu Boan was just about to ask the other party if he had made a mistake, when he saw an arrogant man with his head held high emerging from not far in front of the car.
The man raised his arm and pointed disdainfully, shouting loudly.
"If you still want this job, get off the car. And you, if you dare to move, I will smash your car!"
Xu Bo'an hadn't yet He was planning to get involved in this matter, and immediately frowned upon hearing this.
"Fasten your seat belt!"
While whispering, Xu Boan stepped on the accelerator, and the car roared violently.
Hearing the movement, he released the handbrake, and the car rushed out like an arrow from the string.
Thank you all book friends for your encouragement and support!
