If the Water Margin

Chapter 299 Dragon Money

"Actually, have you ever thought about the use of dragon money?" Mao Dan actually said such a sentence.

This is exactly what Pan Qi wants to know. It's not a long time to know the use of Long Qian before he dies. However, Pan Qi thought that it is impossible not to understand the use of dragon money. Their activities are much more free than that of their partners. In addition, if they don't know the role of dragon money, how can they try to get it?

"Do you still need to teach this?" The two dogs laughed loudly. This thing is indeed not as good as silver, but silver does not circulate on the half-day castle. If it is found to use silver, it will be beheaded, so it can only use this dragon money. As for what can be done... There are no shops or brothels in the castle for half a day, so I can only change some wine. Of course, I can also change into clean clothes and take a hot bath or something. Ergouzi replied, but with his answer, his original mocking tone gradually disappeared, as if he had fallen into thought.

"It seems that you are not stupid." Maodan continued at this time, "Isn't it strange that there is no place to spend money on the half-day castle, but to give everyone this kind of money? Haven't you ever thought about where those water wines that are obviously not self-brewed on the mountain come from when no one can go out without permission? The hairy egg asked back like a cannon, and the second dog who asked was a little confused and did not answer.

Not to mention Ergouzi, even Pan Qi was a little confused. She didn't know the meaning of Maodan saying this at all, and even didn't understand why Ergouzi was stunned on this simple issue. She began to slowly get out of the state of dying and look at what was happening in front of her.

"If I guess correctly, the dragon money you get every time usually falls into the pockets of several people. I'm right, right? There are two people over there. I'm right. Mao Dan shifted his words and pushed the simple question to the little leader and another guy, but no one answered.

"In fact, you soldiers are sometimes not as good as a cook. Before I die, I would like to tell you about the other role of dragon money. To talk about the role of dragon money, we must start with the establishment of the half-day castle. Of course, you may question the authenticity of the story, but I want to tell you that in the half-day castle, it should be said that the most precious thing is not dragon money, but food, because dragon money cannot be eaten, and food can feed lives. Maybe you don't believe that as long as I shake my hand gently every day, I can secretly hide the rations of two people. Every year when I don't answer, I will starve to death, but have you ever heard of any cook who starved to death? This is enough to show that sometimes the most humble character holds the greatest power in his hand. Everything I know is in exchange for this power, because you let me and my companions die decently, so I decided to tell you. Maodan said a lot, but did not get to the point. The process of paving is a little long in Pan Qi's opinion. Of course, this paving is enough to explain the authenticity of what Maodan said next, but Pan Qi is afraid that the three sharp-toothed listeners faced by Maodan will not wait for this kind of nagging words to directly push Maodan down the mountain. Cliff.

"You all know that the half-day castle is not an auspicious place. You must also know that as long as there are dead people in the castle for half a day, no matter what the reason is, they will be thrown off this cliff. Of course, people like us who want to be executed will be pushed down directly. I also know that absolutely no one of you has seen under this cliff. Of course, it may not be accurate to say this, but I'm sure that the people who go to the cliff will never come back alive. As for whether they have come back dead and become the ghost of the half-day castle, I don't know. In fact, the reason for the construction of the half-day castle is mainly because of this cliff, the cliff we face, which is an entrance to the world of the dead, but if this entrance is not used for a long time, it will slowly disappear. The leader of Erlong Mountain took some people's money to keep this entrance. Although the reason is not enough for outsiders, I can guess one or two. We all know that a door can not only enter, but also go out. That is to say, this may not only be an entrance, but also an exit. There are some very evil things on the Banbao every year, and it has reached a peak recently. Even fierce characters such as Deng Bai and the commander of the new army have died one after another for unknown reasons. Zongzhai does not pay attention to the half-day fortress, and the food and fodder are also able to deal with it. Generally speaking, the treatment suffered by the half-day fortress should be sent to the front as cannon fodder when there is a war, but the strange thing is that the half-day fortress has never been sent a soldier because of the war. That's what I said, right? Mao Dan stopped talking and glanced at the faces of the remaining three people with his eyes.

These three people's faces are like dead ashes, motionless, quietly listening to the words of the hairy egg. Pan Qi didn't believe what Mao Dan said, because not long ago, she also claimed to be a god and talked nonsense in front of the seemingly shrewd fat man in blue. The so-called ghosts and gods were just fabricated to scare others. However, the reaction of these three soldiers made Pan Qi feel more and more strange. The expression on their faces was as if they had really seen the devil raging during the day. This made Pan Qi a little scared. After all, she is a woman. No matter how she dresses up, she still has insurmountable obstacles and fears in her heart.

"Actually, it's easy to understand by connecting these." The hairy egg spread out its hand, and the chain also sounded. These people in the half-day castle, whether alive or dead, are actually sacrifices to this passage. The difference is that the living person is like a pig's head defeated in front of the statue, while the dead person is the incense ash burned out in the incense burner. The state is different, but there is no difference. Sacrifice can never leave the table. Otherwise, how can the sacrificed ghosts and gods enjoy it? Therefore, the people of the half-day castle are never transferred, but stationed here and live like a prison. Therefore, the people here now are actually in the same status. Don't think that the pig's head on the table is safe and eaten by ghosts and gods. It's just time.

A cold wind blew, and the sky became darker, while the red comet in the eastern sky became enchanting. The four people standing were painted with a layer of red halo, as if they were bleeding.

"You probably also found that I was almost asked to take the initiative to be sent here to die, and there was no fear at all. Don't you think it's strange? In fact, this is a good explanation. The red stars in the sky are a harbinger. All the living people of the half-day castle will soon be sacrificed. I don't want to passively welcome death. I want to take the initiative to leave the world and retain a little dignity. Of course, it is said that the last person who dies will die hundreds of times worse than now. Mao Dan's tone was still as if nothing had happened. Pan Qi didn't understand how a person could render such a horrible scene and picture with such language. No, maybe it is because of this calmness that things seem more real.

"Don't...don't talk nonsense. What's the use of dragon money?" The second dog holding a large roll of dragon money in his hand trembled, and he interrupted the hairy egg and asked.

"What I said earlier is an introduction. In fact, I believe that most of you have heard it, but I just connected some words. Next, I should talk about the use of dragon money, which you probably don't know. Although the half-day castle is a prison, the capable man who hired the leader left a message that he could not kill all people and kill them, which led to a question. How can we determine who should survive? The number of living people is limited. As far as I know, there are only 100. The last method is to divide it with dragon money. This standard is actually not high. As long as you have 50 dragon money in your hand at the end, you can avoid being sacrificed. You probably think that the half-day castle sends so much dragon money every month, and there should be a lot of people who can make 50 pieces, but it has to be more than 100 people. But think about it yourself, who has fifty on you and the people around you? Yes, after the money was distributed, it was earned by some fixed people under various names. The dragon money of the half-day castle was only concentrated in the hands of a few people. The hairy egg sighed long here and looked very sorry.

"If fifty pieces can live, what do they want so much?" The second dog asked vigilantly.

"Mastering almost all the dragon money on the half-day castle is equivalent to controlling everyone's lives. They can give the power to survive to those who feel they can survive at the last moment. Of course, this kind of charity will come at a high price. 100 people who survive will get a lot of property after walking out of the castle for half a day, and these properties will become bargaining chips to buy their lives. Now you understand that collecting dragon money is to collect property after walking out of the castle for half a day. How can anyone think too much money? In fact, I exchanged 100 miscellaneous grain steamed buns for a person who collected dragon money. The hairy egg replied.

"You already have twenty-seven, which is not far from fifty. Why do you take the initiative to die?" The little leader asked.

"It's very simple. Before the last time comes, I can't make enough of the remaining 23 cards. Death is inevitable for me." The hairy egg said sadly.
