Chapter 8 Wooden Buddha Statue
Gu Qing's yard is now located in the suburbs outside the south city. From the south gate is a bustling commercial street, with rows of shops and surprisingly good business.
This is not surprising. There are so many women on the river outside, and they are the main people in the shop consumption. Gu Qing vaguely remembers that behind several of the shops is the yard where Lu Li lived.
He felt that even if Lu Li's wealth was not Jiang Bancheng, it would be fine if it accounted for one fifth or one sixth.
As for what industries Lu Li has in other places, Gu Qing is even less clear about.
To maintain such a large industry, it cannot be achieved by connections and abilities, and it also requires force to deter it.
Especially after gaining some memories of the Tangxiang, Gu Qing knew more about those sects with extraordinary force that had close connections with the world, but they were not known to ordinary people.
Their names for themselves are not the gangsters or martial artists in martial arts novels, but rather practitioners.
The world of practitioners is closely related to the world of ordinary people. From the Mingtang of the Emperor to the vast rivers and lakes, there are influences of practitioners, but they are not known to ordinary people.
Of course, the power of most practitioners is like the Vajra Temple where they were born in the Kung Xiang or the Tianjue Temple. While having secular power, the core disciples do not involve mundane affairs, and do not even participate in secular affairs unless necessary.
They seemed to have invisible hands, steadily controlling their forces.
But Gu Qing couldn't judge what Lu Li came from. Judging from the red fish dagger that Xiaohong gave him, Lu Li was not an ordinary person among practitioners.
Such a dagger can pierce the body protection magic skill of Gangxiang even when it falls into Gu Qing's hands. Although Gangxiang is seriously injured, it is also very extraordinary. I am afraid it is enough to invite a powerful practitioner to use this.
After all, in the memory of Gangxiang, the higher the skill, the rarer the external objects that can help them. Every extraordinary thing that can be used can arouse the greed and covetousness of practitioners.
The reason why Vajra Temple was killed by the swordsman was because there was a spiritual object in the Vajra Temple, which was of great help to practitioners.
As for what the spiritual object was, it is still unclear as Gang Xiang's identity at that time.
But Gangxiang knew that there was a spiritual object in Tianjueguan, which was a piece of yellow paper dedicated to the ancestors of Tianjueguan.
Since the establishment of Tianjueguan, it has experienced several crises, and all rely on that piece of yellow paper to escape danger.
But except for the master and the elder, no one knows what power the yellow paper has.
Gangxiang had seen him secretly once, and at that time he felt like an ordinary person drowned and could not breathe. If he was close, he would probably just give up his life. Therefore, Gangxiang was also extremely determined to steal the subsequent contents of Hunyuan Tongzi Gong.
The existence of a practitioner made Gu Qingjue's business intention even more. If he made a shocking invention, he would not be able to save it, and would rather cause disasters.
As for the examination and fame and fortune, it would be meaningless. He just wants to continuously improve the Hunyuan Boy's Merit and prolong his life.
Practicing the Hunyuan Tongzi Gong was something he really felt interesting for many lifetimes.
Perhaps because he had experienced too many physical deterioration, Gu Qing had an indescribable sense of fulfillment and fascinated by the fact that he could feel his body getting better bit by bit every day, and his muscles, bones, blood and flesh that produce solid strength.
If he doesn't practice one day, he will feel uncomfortable, just like those deep fitness enthusiasts.
Human beings are eager for progress, no matter which aspect.
Gu Qing walked into the tailor shop and tried two or three pieces. He felt that his previous clothes were a bit ordinary, wasting his good looks.
I don’t care about spending thirty taels of silver to tailor the tailor. Under the influence of money, people’s work efficiency is often very high.
The tailor of this family was originally quite jealous of Gu Qing's appearance, but after Gu Qing put on the clothes he had made with all his strength, he suddenly felt that Gu Qing was very pleased with the increase of about thirty taels of silver.
Gu Qing took out the silver again and asked the tailor to make a few more pieces of different styles according to his size.
As for these items, there is no need to hurry up. He can pick them up in two days.
It was time, and it was still early before supper, so Gu Qing went to East Street in her new clothes.
The East Street is mostly made of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and there are also Confucian temples nearby. There are also Confucian saints in this world, but everyone calls him the Master, but no one knows the name.
I only know that he educated the people very early and passed down various classics. The classics he left behind gradually derived the three religions of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism.
Confucianism has its pureness, Taoism has its highness, and Buddhism has its broadness.
But Gu Qing thought that this master might be from the same place as him.
If he had come thousands of years ago, wouldn't the Master be him?
But Gu Qing has never been interested in these things.
When he was the grandson of the Zongzhou King, he saw someone sighing at the riverside that the dead were like this, and he borrowed books from the history of the library. He also met some people who went through fire and water and died.
Gu Qing understood them a little, but it was difficult to be them.
Until now, it has become a memory he is too lazy to read.
Gu Qing likes this kind of forgetting. If there is no forgetting, his life will be filled with memories and there is no fun. He is more willing to regard some precious memories as a memorial for forgetting, and it is also just a memorial, so there is no other.
Before he knew it, Gu Qing walked all over the East Street, but he didn't see the Taoist priest You Fang. If it weren't for Xiaohong's mention before leaving, Gu Qing really thought Lu Li was playing tricks on him. Compared to Lu Li, Gu Qing would rather believe Xiaohong.
This is not surprising. Gu Qing has seen too many people. He knows that Lu Li has a cunning side in his temperament.
However, normal men probably like Lu Li. It’s not because Lu Li has such a good personality, mainly because she is rich, looks good, and is so generous. In fact, people always like to eat soft food when they are born, otherwise they will not be mammals.
But in comparison, Gu Qing is closer to Xiaohong.
Lu Li is too mysterious. The instinct of seeking profit and avoiding harm makes Gu Qing feel that getting too close to Lu Li is a dangerous thing. Therefore, when Lu Li left, Gu Qing felt a little relieved, and at the same time, he would never get close to those courtyards in the city.
While thinking about things, Gu Qing estimated the time and went back.
I thought it was a big meal at night, so Gu Qing kept his stomach. But by chance, Gu Qing caught a glimpse of a wooden Buddha statue placed in an antique shop.
He blamed him for his good eyesight, and the Buddha statue was only three inches, so he could see clearly on the street.
It feels familiar.
Gu Qing thought carefully and suddenly thought of the yellow paper in Tianjue Temple in Gangxiang’s memory.
The yellow paper and Buddha statues are apart from each other, but why did Gu Qing connect the two?
This feeling is too subtle.
Gu Qing then walked into the antique shop.
He knew that if you want to buy something in an antique shop, it is best not to show that you care a lot. In fact, the value of antiques lies not only in the story, but also in the degree of attention of buyers.
Unfortunately, the shopkeeper of this antique shop is also a powerful person. He smiled but never greeted Gu Qing, but asked Gu Qing to watch slowly.
Because he saw that Gu Qing was originally a passing pedestrian, he suddenly entered the store again.
Antique shops have always been open for three years and have been open for three years.
