948. Vision in the Cave
This old man was unequivocal. Even though he was thin, he was very capable. He held the tall Nalanhong by the collar with only one hand and rushed out of the mine in two steps. Then he told Nalanhong to cover his mouth and nose. The fog cannot be smelled, and the creatures inside are not ordinary human-faced mushrooms. Let alone Nalan Hong, even if he is an immortal body, even if he smells the slightest smell, his body will become a walking zombie from now on.
"Uncle Rong, are you so evil? Our descendants, Ye He, have long been freed from the shackles of Nurhaci's curse. Are you old and confused?"
"Young master, you don't know. This is no better than the human-face mushroom at the foot of our holy mountain. It is said that during the previous dynasty, the Fucha family obtained a clan land here and opened a gold mine. At first, they recruited coolies from neighboring villages to mine, but But these Han people were not given a day's wages, and later the absenteeism uprising almost burned down Jinshagou. In order to control the gold mines, the Fucha family had to transplant the human-face mushrooms from Changbai Mountain."
"Is it the same as the one in our Yehe clan's cave? Aren't our clansmen immune?"
"Same, but different. When the Fucha family was in the previous dynasty, their people had a glimpse of the secret art of Mongolian shamanism. This secret art was extremely evil. They combined this evil art to perform some kind of human-face mushroom... ...Some kind of...According to you modern people, it is the improvement of breeds! Once you go into the gold mine and breathe the red mist, you will turn into a living corpse that does not understand fatigue. There is no need to pay them food and wages, and you will work until you die!"
Nalanhong frowned. "So the Fucha family was already accustomed to using these methods in the previous dynasty. Why was no one taking care of it at that time?"
"The Fucha family has had high-ranking officials and important political positions in all dynasties, and they are descendants of the Eight Banners. Who dares to control it? The sky is high and the emperor is far away. Besides, the gold dug out will be taxed according to the proportion."
Nalanhong looked hard: "Hey! This is the tragedy of our Manchu people. Officials protect each other. If the important officials in the court were not greedy, how could we end up like this!"
"Haha... Young Master, these are not things that our younger generations can understand. This situation has happened in all dynasties. What about the previous dynasties? What about the current world? Come on, stop talking about this, since the Young Master wants to enter this gold mine to find out what's going on. , the old slave will naturally help you!"
Nalan Rongbai straightened his arms, flicked his sleeves, and a round ball came out from the wide cuff. The ball was dark, like a lump of stone, and smelled like sulfur. You will definitely not see this treasure in this day and age. It's something, but in ancient times it was a common hidden weapon among people in the world. This is the legendary thunderbolt and fire bomb.
Without looking back, Nalan Rongbai flicked the thunderbolt fire bomb, and the mutated human-faced mushroom that grew on the gold veins in the cave exploded with a bang, causing sparks to fly everywhere. It didn't even have time to howl. In this way, a life span of hundreds of years ended.
This gold mine stretches across the entire mountain for several kilometers, and it would be a bit troublesome for them to measure it with just their two feet. Nalanhong was proficient in mechanics, so he pushed the mine cart down the hole, put some gasoline under the wheels, and then looked at the front of the mine cart. Not to mention the gears and connecting rods, this thing has not been used for at least 70 years and is still in good condition. It can move freely with a little gasoline.
He conveniently brought old-fashioned gasoline fumigation lamps nearby, which could still be used. The two got on the mine cart and followed the rails toward the depths of the gold mine.
