dead body search

Chapter 227 Shell Coin (Subscribe for the third watch)

Bird Island.

The lower level of the sea city.

In Li Si Restaurant.

"What kind of exercise is Wang Daoyou practicing?" Hou Dongsheng asked unwillingly.

""Five Elements Refining Qi""

Hou Dongsheng: "This technique is also widely spread in the Northern Continent, and I'm afraid there is no way to explain the origin of Wang Daoyou."

Wang Cao: "Indeed."

"What about Hong Fang's customs?"

"Wang has never been to the mainland of Hongfang, but only from the islands near Hongfang to the islands near Dibei. I have been a seaman all my life, and my knowledge is limited. I don't know anything about Hongfang's customs and customs."

"This...hehehehe."

After hearing Wang Cao's witty words, Hou Dongsheng suddenly felt that maybe he shouldn't teach that bad boy a lesson. After all, what the kid said was right, he was probably a drunk lunatic.

"Brother Hou, don't you believe me?"

Hou Dongsheng: "Of course I don't believe it."

Wang Cao: "Everything Wang said is true, there is nothing Brother Hou can do if he doesn't believe me."

I saw Hou Dongsheng holding the shell coins with seven colors on the table in his hand and asking Wang Cao: "Friend Wang Dao... Let me ask you, do you also use this in your place?"

This is shellfish.

It was also the first time Hou Dongsheng saw this thing.

In the northern continent.

Monks use spirit stones, and ordinary people use gold, silver and copper coins.

The exchange ratio between gold and silver and spirit stones is not fixed, and in most cases they cannot be exchanged.

And here is Que Ling Island.

Far away from the northern continent, and even the surrounding islands are extremely far away, it is impossible for ordinary people to use spirit stones.

Therefore, the Li family minted shell coins.

At first Hou Dongsheng thought that the so-called shell coins were special shells, but now it seems that the shell coins are more like a strange thin metal, which is quite warm in the hand.

This is the customs.

The monks in the entire comprehension world use Lingshi as currency, and Hou Dongsheng still believes it.

After all, monks have great supernatural powers and a wide range of activities, so it is difficult to be restricted by regions.

And mortals must be a place, a currency, and they can never be the same.

Wang Cao: "I don't know whether shell coins are used above Hong Fang, but shell coins are indeed used in the sea area where I am."

"Exactly the same?"

Wang Cao: "There is no difference."

"Hahahaha..." Hou Dongsheng laughed.

"I'm really sorry, I guess Brother Hou also wants to hear about Hongfang's customs and customs, but I've never set foot in this Hongfang mainland, so I can't say it, I'm afraid I'll waste fellow Daoist Hou's money on drinks."

"You Wang Daoyou are being polite. It's just a meal, and I can still afford it. If Brother Wang thinks highly of Hou, you might as well step on the jar and drink."

"Then I'll really drink it." Wang Cao tore open the wine jar.

ton ton ton ton...

After finishing half of the jar of wine in one gulp, Wang Cao felt a little ecstatic.

Rolling his eyes, he fainted on the wine table.

This person can be regarded as a man of temperament, but he is just talking nonsense, and now the sea scorpion poison in his body is so poisonous that it can penetrate into the internal organs and bone marrow.

Hou Dongsheng didn't have any antidote in his hands at all. He was a zombie, but any pills on his body were exchanged as spirit stones.

What's more, even if there is an antidote, Hou Dongsheng will not save him. This person has given up hope, and he is just a walking dead drunk.

What is the difference between saving and not saving?
It's better to give him two jars of wine so that he can drink enough and go on the road.

Hou Dongsheng: "Little Er!"

"Dare to ask the guest officer what's the matter?"

"When this person wakes up, give him two jars of good wine." Hou Dongsheng threw 20 shellfish coins to Xiao Er as wine money.

Xiao Er: "Thank you, guest officer."

left the restaurant.

Two peasants pushed a cart past Hou Dongsheng, and a large number of shells were stacked on the cart.

Hou Dongsheng didn't know its use, so he followed it out of curiosity.

Anyway, with the second soul to help him understand Taoism, it is better to learn more about the customs and customs of Que Ling Island.

In case there is an adventure.

Even if there is no adventure, it is not too late to go back to retreat if you are tired of shopping.

I saw the man pushing the cart came to the resident's house and took away a large number of shells with one shell coin.

These are empty shells that should have had shellfish in them.

After the shell meat was eaten, only the shells remained as kitchen waste. Just now when Hou Dongsheng was in the restaurant, there was a plate of stir-fried sea shells in the food and drink he ordered.

Could this be collecting kitchen waste?

Thinking of this, Hou Dongsheng immediately lost interest and wandered elsewhere.

After half a day.

Not far from the sea city, there is an important place on Que Ling Island.

It's called the Mint.

Hou Dongsheng came here after traveling all the way.

The folks who collected the empty shells pushed their vehicles and entered this place.

There are guards from Qi training period disciples wearing blue robes, but there are no array guards.

Hou Dongsheng saw the right time and slid into the mint with one move and one sword.

I saw those peasants pouring empty shells into a black stone pot.

The stone pot is so huge that two or three people can take a bath in it.

The shells were placed about 2/3 of the stone pot, and then 1/3 of the water was poured in. Then a mason poured the viscous and yellow water into the stone pot with a wooden ladle, and then covered the wooden lid. Seal the gaps in the wooden lid with soil.

In another part of the Mint...

Two masons hammered the dry loose soil with a wooden hammer, and a pungent sour smell came to the face.

On the one hand, the workers covered their noses with wet handkerchiefs, and on the other hand, they used plantain fans to blow away the pungent sour smell.

When the smell is no longer pungent.

The two young and strong workers used utensils to fish out the shells in the stone pot.

After a period of fermentation, the originally brightly colored shells have turned into pitch black and gray.

The houses that the villagers live in seem to be made of these gray shells mixed with mud, which looks like concrete.

When the shells are all removed.

Mao Gong sprinkled a basket of sea salt into the yellowed stone pot water.

When the sea salt was sprinkled, a miraculous thing happened, and silver flocs appeared in the stone pot water, like a sponge.

Use gauze to repeatedly filter the stone pot water to get all the silver flocs, and put them in the furnace to melt.

The obtained liquid metal is poured into the mold, and after it solidifies, it will be the size of a chocolate bar, shining with colorful brilliance.

A low-grade spirit stone = 100 shellfish coins.

Shell coins are actually made in this way.

This process is somewhat similar to the previous life: chemical reduction method to prepare metal.

The method of refining ore on land is smelting and refining, and the enriched ore is put into a furnace for refining.

On the sea, islands are scarce resources for survival, and it is impossible to mine islands for mining, so shells are their mineral resources.

The metal on the shells is peeled off by chemical reaction to make shell coins, and the useless shells are mixed with soil to make houses.

As the saying goes, one side's water and soil support one side's people.

Islands close to the mainland may still circulate gold and silver, but islands farther from the mainland will only circulate shell coins.

Maybe Wang Cao wasn't lying.

After all, Wang Cao also lived on the island, and it is very likely that shell coins circulated among mortals.

Hou Dongsheng was very interested in this method of minting coins.

As soon as the figure jumps quickly in the mountain stream, although it is running with its body, its speed is not inferior to that of flying away.

Flying directly consumes too much mana, and Hou Dongsheng can't replenish his mana now, so he can only use his body more.

Bird Peak.

on the summit platform.

A figure in black tumbled down.

"Who!"

The surrounding blue robes saw that the visitor was just a mortal, so they all sacrificed their flying swords to kill Hou Dongsheng.

A sword wrapped around silkworms.

Ding ding dong dong, there was a crisp sound.

Seven or eight flying swords glowing with spiritual light were all picked up and flew away.

Hou Dongsheng took out the Xuanyu pendant of the inner disciple of the Demon Flame Sect: "This seat is Wan Ziyi of the Demon Flame Sect, let Li Yuanze come to see me!"

　Tomorrow I will be a volunteer to participate in the national nucleic acid test.

　　早上6:00就要集合，7:00准时开始核酸，我5:30就得起床，明天要忙一天。

　　It can only be updated with saved manuscripts, and it is still the third update, but the update time is not fixed.

　　The saved manuscripts are less than 50 chapters, and there are two changes every day. In addition, because the average rate is not high, in order to get full attendance in two months, I may also deal with it technically. I hope that the average rate will increase to 500 in two months, so that I can get mixed up Full attendance.
