Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Statue of God
Hearing Li Wu say this, Zhang Tude also understood why Lord Liu, who was in charge of the Heavenly Division, didn't arrest him, it seemed that Zheng Li did him a great favor without knowing it.
"Lord Liu also said that Zheng Li came from Zhao State, and he was also a wanted criminal over there, and after arriving in our Siqi Kingdom, he killed more than 20 of our officials and the Lord of the Heavenly Prison Division.
Master Zhang, if you meet him in the future, be careful. ”
Zhang Tude just nodded after listening to Li Wu's words, did not speak, but thought about it in his heart:
Zheng Li killed so many people, could it be related to his cultivation of supernatural powers? However, if the people he killed were like Bu Shiren and Lin Tan, it would not be a bad thing.
After Li Wu finished talking about Zheng Li, he praised Zhang Tude again:
"Lord Liu also told me about your affairs in Weishan County, thanks to you for killing a local tyrant Buhu, rescuing those children, and avoiding so many innocent lives from being sacrificed to vain ghosts and gods, which is worthy of admiration."
"Well, thank you Brother Li for the compliment, it's just because my friend's daughter happened to be among the children who were arrested, and she saved them together.
But Brother Li, even if that step is a villain, I killed him as a crime, and this is not a commendable thing. ”
"No, my lord, this is a righteous act, don't say that you are the future monk of the Heavenly Guardian, even if you are an ordinary person, if you do such a righteous act, even if you break the law, as long as the local officials are aware and decisive, they will definitely be punished lightly, and even exempted from sin."
Zhang Tude just sighed in his heart when he heard Li Wu's words, and then vomited in his heart, if he was really an ordinary person, let that Lin Tan judge him, it is estimated that it would not be enough to die a few times.
"Okay, I promise to keep my mouth shut about that Zheng Li, you two can rest assured, and I should go, just say goodbye to you here."
Hearing that Zhang Tude was leaving, Li Peng on the side finally couldn't help but speak:
"Let's go? Brother Tude, no, where are you going? ”
"Didn't I tell you in the temple before that I was going to Zhengde Temple in Xijing City? It's been a long time now. ”
"But your injury...."Li Peng looked at Zhang Tude's hand holding a cane, he saw the large and small wounds when Zhang Tude was taking a medicinal bath in the past few days, and knew how heavy the injuries on Zhang Tude's body were.
"It's out of the way, as long as you can walk, and if I stay here, the dirty stuff on my body will only cause trouble for you, it's better to leave early, if you want to help me, help me get a better carriage."
Seeing that his younger brother couldn't persuade Zhang Tude, who insisted on leaving, Li Wu patted Li Peng on the shoulder, signaled him to stop, and then said to Zhang Tude:
"Master Zhang, why don't you wait for another night, and then go with Master Qingxin tomorrow morning, he will also go to Zhengde Temple, it just so happens that you can go the same way, although he has no magical powers, but he has a martial art, and he can also take care of you."
"Oh? Master Qingxin is also going to Zhengde Temple? ”
Zhang Tude thought about it, the masters of Zhengde Temple and Master Qingxin are all monks, let him go with him to learn something about the situation of the temple, plus it is indeed a bit reluctant for a person to walk so far with this injury, but in the end he still shook his head:
"Forget it, you also know the situation on my body, this will harm Master Pure Heart."
"It's okay, after learning that you are also going to Zhengde Temple, Master Qingxin intends to go with you, he knows about your situation before, as long as you don't use supernatural powers, when you are evil, Master Qingxin can also stop you to prevent you from accidentally hurting the people around you."
Having said this, Zhang Tude had no choice but to agree to Li Wu's suggestion:
"Okay, then I'll stay one more night, and if Master Qingxin is willing, then the two of us will go the same way."
Seeing that Zhang Tude agreed, Li Wu turned to his younger brother and ordered:
"Okay, Ah Peng, you can go to the temple and talk to Master Qingxin now, and help Master Zhang prepare the carriage and dry food when you come back."
After Li Peng left, Li Wu smiled and said to Zhang Tude:
"Master Zhang, is there any place you want to go? Or shall I help you back to your room? ”
Zhang Tude didn't have any place to go, so he walked back to the room where he had just woken up, and Li Wu stepped forward to help him, and he didn't refuse.
"Anyway, your family doesn't just open a martial arts gym, it looks quite rich."
On the way back, Zhang Tude saw that the Li family's many houses were no less than the Bu family, although there were not many servants, but they should also be large families.
"This is all thanks to the blessing of an ancestor, who left some property, and the descendants used it to buy some property, not to be rich and rich, but to be able to have food and clothing for our whole family.
In my father's generation, he was obsessed with martial arts, so he opened a martial arts gym to satisfy his preferences, and at the same time, it was also for the people to be able to strengthen their bodies and learn some self-defense skills. ”
Zhang Tude nodded after listening, this is much better than the rich and unkind Bujia:
"Li Peng said that you gave two ancestral treasures to Lord Liu, and it must not be ordinary things that can be looked at by Lord Liu, and it seems that your ancestor is not simple."
Li Wu did not deny it, and told Zhang Tude the truth:
"Well, those two treasures were given by Emperor Taizu, that ancestor had participated in Emperor Taizu's righteous army, and after the establishment of the Four Qi Kingdom, he took the initiative to ask to return to his hometown, and Emperor Taizu rewarded him with many treasures, including those two treasures.
However, after so many years, we don't know what the purpose of those two treasures is, just let them watch, since it can be exchanged for Lord Liu to save the lives of several people, including you and your brother, it is worth it.
It's just a pity that Lord Liu still took away one of your strange fingers, it shouldn't be ordinary, if you want to compensate, my lord, our Li family will do our best to compensate you. ”
Zhang Tude bowed his hand and said:
"That's not necessary, after all, it's also to save my own life, I told your brother about this, I'm just curious about the treasures that can arouse Lord Liu's interest, I don't know what's so strange about those two treasures?"
Seeing that Zhang Tude was curious, Li Wu directly told the information about the two treasures:
The two treasures were a fist-sized, red bead and a statue made of gold, according to the records left by the ancestors, the bead was called the blood jade bead, and the gold statue was called the statue of the god.
Although I didn't know it was a mortal thing at first glance, I didn't know what was so strange about it, but it was the statue of the god general, and my brother and I secretly touched it when my father was not at home when I was a child. ”
At this time, Zhang Tude and Li Wu had already walked back to the room, Li Wu first helped Zhang Tude to sit down, and then continued to talk about the statue of the god.
According to Li Wu, the statue of the god will be about a meter high, probably up to his chest, and the statue of the god will say that the peculiarities are, the first is its appearance, the statue of the god will be as its name suggests, a statue of a general wearing armor and holding a weapon.
And the general had no head around his neck, because he had his own head in addition to the sword, and the general had eight hands, seven of which held the sword and shield, and the last hand held the head.
The second peculiarity is that the hands and feet and head of the statue of the general can be taken down and placed elsewhere.
For example, if you put your head back on your neck, it will automatically pick it up, and unless you pick it up with your hand, you can take it off, and if you move it with something like a stick, it will stick to it as if it had always been there.
