Chapter 1307 - There's Something Inside
We looked at the big lump of gold, and everyone was stunned.
Jin Shengshui blinked his eyes and turned his head to look at me, "Big brother, did we really kill the God of Wealth?"
"So many gods of wealth. They're outrageous, aren't they?"
"Desperate for your life to protect such a thing?"
I said, "Dude, I think there's a little bit of a problem with your description."
"It's not that they're desperate to protect this thing."
"Rather, if they don't protect it, they can't save their lives."
"Maybe they thought before they died, they were going to die anyway and didn't protect something, it didn't seem appropriate, right?"
"So, they simply took out the most valuable things on them."
"Take it out and look at it, hey, it's a piece of gold."
"So they used gold as a prop to express their unyielding hearts."
Jin Shengshui: "......"
He gave me a thumbs up and said, "Big brother, you're doing a really good job of reading comprehension."
"But I always felt like the right answer wasn't that."
I laughed and said, "What do you think is the correct answer?"
Jin Shengshui shook his head and said, "What it is, I don't know yet, but I always feel that it's not the same as what you said."
While the two of us were arguing, King Jizo suddenly said, "There's something in this big lump of gold."
Curious, I asked King Jizo, "How do you know?"
King Jizo said, "This is not right, I have already weighed it."
I walked over, carefully picked up the gold, and checked it.
It's heavy to start with.
I asked Jizo, "It's not the right amount, I feel about it."
King Jizo said, "Do you know what I did before I became a monk?"
I shook my head.
King Jizo said, "I am a goldsmith who specializes in making gold jewelry for people."
I waved my hand and said, "Wait, that's what King Jizo used to do?"
King Jizo coughed dryly and said, "Those interesting legends have beautified me."
"Actually, I'm a goldsmith who makes jewelry."
I groaned.
King Jizo then said, "I have been a goldsmith all my life."
"Then one day, a young man came."
"He said the girl wanted a gold necklace, a pair of gold earrings, and a pair of gold bracelets."
"If you can't take it, you won't marry him."
"This young man begged me so hard that I could help him out."
"But I refused."
We were all curious, "Why?"
King Jizo said, "Because this young man said he had no money, not even the cost of materials."
Jin Shengshui said, "Oh. I want to prostitute for nothing."
King Jizo smiled bitterly and said, "Yes."
"However, this young man brought out an ancient book, saying that it was left by his ancestors."
"He doesn't understand either, but if I promise to exchange it, you can give me the ancient book."
"The cover of this book is incomplete, but I can still vaguely see that what is written on it is about spiritual practice."
I sighed, "So you handed him back, and from then on on the path of cultivation."
King Jizo laughed, "No. I threw the book out and kicked him out."
"When I opened the door early the next morning, I found him hanged in front of our house."
The king of Jizo began to sigh, "Tell me, this bad luck of many horses."
"Is this still preventing people from doing business?"
"I wanted to dispose of his body, so I made a broken mat, rolled it, and dragged it to the mass grave."
"Who knew that I was unlucky to meet an acquaintance."
"All of a sudden, there was a rumor in the town that I had killed someone."
"The government is also alarmed, and they are arresting me everywhere, which is really indefensible."
"I had no choice but to throw the body away, intending to escape."
"Before leaving, I thought, this run, I don't know if the Year of the Monkey will come back, so I will look for the corpse to see if there is anything that can be used."
"As a result, I searched and searched, and it was just a broken book, and there were no other flowers to eat."
"It seems that this kid is already exhausted, otherwise how could he hang himself in front of my house?"
"I thought about it, forget it, it's not bad to have a book, and I'll be able to use it when the time comes."
"I took this book with me and fled to the mountains and forests."
The king of Jizo looked at us and said, "Have you fled to the mountains and forests?"
I shook my head, "We really don't have that unique experience of yours."
King Jizo sighed and said, "I thought that when I arrived in the deep mountains and old forests, I would be safe and comfortable from now on."
"The world is vast, you can do whatever you want, you don't have to pay food taxes."
"Who knows, life will not be easy."
"In that place, don't think about cultivating the wasteland, it's exhausting, and the harvest is not much."
"The really good land has long been cleared by people, and it won't be my turn."
"Hunt the prey, huh? Small prey is not enough to eat, and big prey is not good at who eats whom."
"Let's pick the fruit...... I once ate poisonous mushrooms and almost died."
"In less than ten days, I was starving."
"Later, I occasionally found out that there is a chapter in this book about Bigu."
"I practiced accordingly. It turned out to be true."
"From now on, I'm counted in this door."
"When I came out of the mountains three years later, I met my old acquaintance again."
"This person has already seized my gold shop, and when he sees me coming back, his first reaction is to report to the official."
"I'm not polite, I'll kill him."
