In the end, Xu Boan could not wait for the answer to his curiosity about "Lefang".
The call coming from the Tushan Temple in Hongya Village, the branch base, distracted Xu Boan for a moment.
Xu Boan naturally understands that things have priorities.
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 branch 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 just thinking for a moment, Xu Boan overturned his idea.
This temple is just a temple of the mountain god and earth, not a palace or a clan ancestral hall.
Even if the rebels are powerful 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 gods.
The next moment, Xu Bo'an, 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.
He was still wearing his belt while walking, and he was cursing: "Huh, you have short hands and a soft mouth. I think you are not sensible at all. You can't do anything just by holding things. I'm so awesome." It’s not that easy to get things, I’ll give you a pee to loosen the soil!”
Xu Bo'an felt sick for a while. Good guy, it turns out that this guy peed on the statue of a fairy after running away?
Too much, really too much!
Although he seemed to have no sense of smell, Xu Boan could vaguely feel the smell of urine coming from behind.
It's so cold here. 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.
You come here 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 it. It would only add to the trouble.
Xu Bo'an was puzzled and felt that Niu Twelve was really 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, people are just trying to vent their anger, so it seems that they are not just mentally ill.
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. His gait was caused by his disability.
This is strange. The other party is not drunk and has no mental problems. How can he be so generous and want to vent his anger on Tutushan Temple?
Even now, Xu Bo'an was bored. Seeing that the man was about to go out, he immediately said: "Hey, you guy, stop here."
When Niu Twelve heard this, he was startled and slowly turned around. There was no fear in his face, just a hint of doubt.
"Who called me?"
Xu Boan said sternly: "Nonsense, besides this god and you, who else is there in this temple?"
Niu Twelve was not afraid, but was a bit angry: "God? You said you are a god!"
"How?" Xu Bo'an asked curiously.
Niu Twelve's face was full of anger, and he shouted angrily: "You said you are a god, why are you so blind? I think I, Niu Twelve, am very pious to you. I will have a glass of wine during the New Year and the fifteenth day of the lunar month." Zhu Xiang, I picked some fruits that I couldn’t even bear to eat, so I brought them to you as a tribute. I beg you to keep my father safe when he goes to work. You accept my incense and take my tribute, but why don’t you protect him.”
Xu Bo'an was immediately confused by Niu Twelve's nagging accusations.
The wine is so delicious, but we haven’t enjoyed it at all.
The current stick of incense was ordered by you, but here at the sub-base, it only has a summoning effect and does not increase the incense's power for me.
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 could he experience an increase in the incense willpower caused by burning incense on weekdays, and the basic incense willpower refreshed at zero o'clock every day.
On the sub-base side, 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 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 humiliated 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 act recklessly next to my statue and do that filthy thing."
Niu Twelve did not relent, and retorted sternly: "You accept my incense, but you don't 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 don't do it, you will slander me. , insult me and 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. He didn't know what to say and fell 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 that the weather will be fine tomorrow, so that he can dye cloth and sell it, what do you think I am? Who should be listened to? Who should be obeyed? If I am satisfied with one person, can the other person be like you and openly come to my place to smash and humiliate me? If neither of me is satisfied, they Can the two of them join forces to break down the walls and destroy my temple? If so, what should I do?"
When Niu Twelve heard this, he was 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 is guilty! Niu Twelve is guilty." ah!"
Niu Twelve raised his head again, and Xu Boan saw that his forehead was covered in red and purple, which was obviously a real knock.
When Xu Boan saw Niu Twelve crying, he said in a deep voice: "What a man, why are you crying?"
Niu Twelve choked up and said: "I only hate that I am incompetent and can't work for my father, so that my father drags his sick body to the mining area to mine at an old age, and ends up with the same disability as me. I can't enjoy my old age! "
Hearing this, Xu Bo'an couldn't help but feel sad for the father and son. He sighed softly, and 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, and you cannot avoid it. You No matter how much you cry or make trouble, it won't bring any benefit to your father's recovery. It's better to face life head on and do your best."
Niu Twelve said with dull eyes: "Grandpa Fairy, I am suffering. My parents just got married when they were over forty years old and gave birth to me. I have been suffering since childhood. 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 thirty years. , I never had a full meal or a good night's sleep. I was dependent on my father, but suffered a mining accident. My father narrowly escaped death, but I had no money to treat him. I feel guilty."
Xu Bo'an said: "All living beings are suffering. If you can survive to this day and stand here talking to me, you are already less suffering than many people. Many people have never even seen their own parents. Even the spring of this world I have never experienced summer, autumn and winter. I can't even go out of my own house, or even get off the edge of the bed. Compared with them, what are your hardships? Do you think your father would like to see you like this? What does it look like?”
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 before saying, "Grandpa Immortal, this house is in a mess, don't you blame me?"
Xu Bo'an laughed and said: "They are all external things, originally made by believers. What can I blame? If you want to blame, it is also the people in the village who build and protect the temples who blame you."
Niu Twelve said with a guilty look on his face: "I know I was wrong, I will clean up this place immediately. I will give you an explanation."
Xu Bo'an said calmly: "There is nothing to explain. If you can trust me, why not take the time to carry your father here, and I will check on his physical condition."
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 the big guys to come too?"
Xu Bo'an has just mastered extraordinary medical skills and is on the verge of success.
Just like a novice driver who just learned to drive, he especially likes to touch the car!
But in the real world, people are worried about being too ostentatious and causing unnecessary trouble.
At this moment, in the bonsai world, I just happened to be showing off my medical skills, which can be regarded as conducting clinical trials.
At that moment, Xu Bo'an said cheerfully: "No problem, just come. When the time comes, I will burn incense as a letter of faith. If I am free, I will come to find you."
Niu Twelve kowtowed again: "Grandpa Immortal is kind, Niu Twelve is reckless at first, and rude at the end. He is willing to be punished by Grandpa Immortal, and I also ask Grandpa Immortal to punish him."
Xu Bo'an said with both grace and power: "For the sake of your filial piety, I will let this matter go for now. If you behave rudely again in the future, I will make you suffer the consequences."
Niu Twelve also heard the immortal's forgiveness for him, and immediately said with gratitude: "Grandpa Divine, look at my performance in the future, I will never...I...I..."
Seeing that Niu Twelve was so excited that he couldn't speak, Xu Bo'an said again: "Okay, don't talk about this anymore. Niu Twelve, let me ask you, did you just say that you went to the mining area to dig? What a mine!”
Xu Bo'an is very curious about the energy and resources in the bonsai world.
Niu Twelve wiped away his tears and said, "If I tell Grandpa Immortal, 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 for burning, heating, and cooking. It is warm, and it can boil water and cook very quickly. , much more powerful than wood and firewood, and there is no smoke, so it will not smoke out people's eyes like firewood. It's just that this thing is very expensive, ordinary people can't bear to use it, and only rich people can burn it. That’s why it’s called the Black Gold Mine.”
Niu Twelve was not surprised why Grandpa Immortal didn't know what the black gold mine was. After all, in his opinion, the black gold mine was of no use to the Immortal.
Immortals don't care about heat or cold, and don't need to eat. Isn't this thing just a useless stone?
Xu Boan became more familiar with it the more he listened to it. At the end of it, he even 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 emergencies when there is a gas outage, or they can 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 is indeed very easy to get injured. .”
Niu Twelve's eyes widened and he was filled with emotion.
Gods are indeed gods. No one knows what a black gold mine is. Just listening to myself talk about it, I can already tell what kind of existence it is.
He can definitely pinch and calculate!
Niu Twelve's eyes looked at the statue 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 Bo'an withdrew and his eyes returned to the car again.
When Niu Twelve heard the voice of the immortal grandfather fading away, he felt an ethereal feeling. When he looked up again, he found that the statue no longer had the majestic feeling it had just now.
Only then did I guess 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 stepped up with long legs easily. Xu Boan was stunned for a moment. After all, this car occupied a very high area.
Before Xu Bo'an could speak, the woman reached out and quickly closed the car door, saying in a cold tone: "Drive!" with an angry face.
Xu Bo'an was 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 out of the car. And you, if you dare to move, I will smash your car!"
Xu Boan had not planned to get involved in this matter at first, but he frowned when he heard this.
"fasten your seatbelt!"
While whispering the instructions, Xu Boyan stepped on the accelerator, and the car roared violently.
Hearing this 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!
