Chapter 8 Wooden Buddha Statue
Gu Qing's courtyard is now on the outskirts of the southern city, and from the south gate, there is a bustling and lively commercial street, with rows of shops dazzling, and business is surprisingly good.
It's not surprising that there are so many painting boat women by the river outside, which are the main group of people who consume in shops. Gu Qing vaguely remembered that behind a few of the shops was the courtyard where Lu Li lived.
He felt that even if Lu Li's wealth was not Jiang Bancheng, accounting for one-fifth or one-sixth, it should be no problem.
As for what other industries Lu Li has in other places, Gu Qing is even more unclear.
To keep such a large industry, it is not possible to do it with connections and capabilities, but also to have military deterrence.
Especially after getting some memories of Gangxiang, Gu Qing knew better that those sects with extraordinary force had a close connection with the world, but they were not known to ordinary people.
They do not call themselves Jianghu people or martial artists in martial arts novels, but cultivators.
The world of cultivators is inextricably linked with the world of ordinary people, from the Mingtang of the Son of Heaven to the grassy rivers and lakes, there are all influences of cultivators, but they are not known to ordinary people.
Of course, the power of most cultivators is like the Vajra Temple, where Gangxiang was born, or the Heavenly Peerless Temple, while having worldly power, the core disciples are not involved in worldly affairs, and if they are not necessary, they do not even participate in worldly affairs.
They are like invisible hands, firmly controlling the forces that belong to them.
But what is the origin of Lu Li, Gu Qing can't judge, just judging from the red fish dagger given to him by Xiao Hong, Lu Li's cultivation is not idle.
Such a dagger, if it falls in Gu Qing's hands, it can pierce the body protection magic of the Gang Elephant, although it is because the Gang Elephant is seriously injured, it is also very extraordinary, I am afraid that it is enough to invite a powerful cultivation master.
After all, in the memory of the Gang Xiang, the higher the kung fu, the rarer the external objects that can help them, and every supernatural thing that can be used can arouse the greed and covetousness of the practitioner.
The reason why the Kongo Temple was slaughtered by the swordsman was because there was a spiritual object in the Kongo Temple, which was of great help to the practitioners.
As for what the spiritual object was, it was not clear what it was at that time.
But just as I knew that there was a spiritual object in the Heavenly Peerless Temple, it was a piece of yellow paper enshrined in the Heavenly Peerless Ancestral Hall.
Since the establishment of Tianjieguan, it has experienced several crises, and it has relied on that yellow paper to save the day.
But no one except the Lord and the Elders knew what the power of the yellow paper was.
Just like I saw it secretly, at that time he felt like an ordinary person drowning, unable to breathe, if he was close, I was afraid that he would directly give up his life. Therefore, it also made Gang Xiang stop stealing the follow-up content of the Mixed Yuan Tongzi Gong.
And the existence of a cultivator made Gu Qing even more desperate to do business, if he came up with a shocking invention, he would not be able to keep it, but would be prone to cause trouble.
As for gaining fame and fame, it doesn't mean anything, he just wants to continuously improve the skills of the mixed yuan boy and prolong his life.
Cultivating the Mixed Yuan Tongzi Gong was something he really found fun for many lifetimes.
Probably because he has experienced too many physical deteriorations, Gu Qing has an indescribable sense of fullness and is fascinated by the fact that he can feel his body getting better little by little every day, and his muscles and flesh are giving birth to solid strength.
If he doesn't practice one day, he will be uncomfortable, just like those deep fitness enthusiasts.
Human beings, in the end, are eager for progress, no matter what aspect they are.
Gu Qing walked into the tailor's shop and tried two or three pieces, but he felt that the previous clothes were a little ordinary, wasting his good looks.
I don't care about spending thirty taels of silver, let the tailor tailor tailor, under the effect of money, people's work efficiency is often very high.
The tailor of this family was originally a little jealous of Gu Qing's appearance, but after Gu Qing put on the clothes he had done his best to make, he suddenly felt that Gu Qing was extremely pleasing to the eye, and the bonus of about thirty taels of silver was also indispensable.
Gu Qing took out the silver again and asked the tailor to make a few more different styles according to his size.
As for these pieces, there is no need to hurry, he can pick them up in two days.
It was time, it was still early before dinner, so Gu Qing went to Dongdajie in his new clothes.
East Street is dominated by antique calligraphy and paintings, there is also a Confucian Temple nearby, there are Confucian saints in this world, but everyone calls him Master, as for the name, no one knows.
It is only known that he educated the people very early and passed down all kinds of classics, and the classics he left behind gradually derived from the three teachings of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism.
Confucianism is pure, Taoism is high, and Buddhism is knowledgeable.
Gu Qing thought that this master might be from the same place as him.
If he had come thousands of years earlier, wouldn't the Master have been him?
But Gu Qing has never been interested in these things.
When he was the grandson of the king of Zongzhou, he had seen someone lament the deceased by the river, and he also borrowed books from the history of the Tibetan room, and even met some ink people who went to the soup and died without turning their heels.
Gu Qing understood them a little, but it was difficult to become them.
Until now, it has become a memory that he is too lazy to turn up.
Gu Qing likes this kind of forgetting, if he doesn't forget, his life will be full of memories, and there is no fun at all. He prefers to regard some precious memories as forgotten memorials, which are only memorials, and there is little else.
Unconsciously, Gu Qing walked all over the East Street, he didn't see the Taoist priest of Youfang, if it wasn't for Xiaohong who also mentioned it before leaving, Gu Qing really thought that Lu Li was playing tricks on him. Compared with Lu Li, Gu Qing is more willing to believe in Xiaohong.
This is not surprising, Gu Qing has seen too many people, and he understands that there is a cunning side in Lu Li's temperament.
But normal men probably like Lu Li. It's not because of Lu Li's good character, it's mainly that she is rich, good-looking, and so generous. In fact, people are born to like to eat soft rice, otherwise they would not be mammals.
But in comparison, Gu Qing was closer to Xiaohong.
Lu Li's instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages made Gu Qing feel that it was a dangerous thing to get too close to Lu Li, so when Lu Li's leave, Gu Qing was somewhat relieved, and at the same time, he would never get close to Lu Li's courtyards in the city again.
While thinking about things, Gu Qing estimated the time, it was time to go back.
Thinking about it as a big meal in the evening, Gu Qing kept his stomach. But inadvertently, Gu Qing caught a glimpse of a wooden Buddha statue placed in an antique shop.
blame him for his good eyesight, the Buddha statue is only three inches, and he can still see it clearly on the street.
There was a sense of déjà vu.
Gu Qing thought about it carefully, and suddenly thought of the yellow paper in the Heavenly Peerless View in Gangxiang's memory.
There is a difference between the yellow paper and the Buddha statue, but why did Gu Qing connect the two?
It's a subtle feeling.
Gu Qing then walked into the antique shop.
He knows that if you want to buy something at an antique shop, it's best not to act like you care. In fact, in many cases, the value of antiques lies not only in the story, but also in the importance of the buyer.
It's a pity that the shopkeeper of this antique shop is also a powerful person, he was smiling, but he never greeted Gu Qing, but let Gu Qing take a slow look.
Because he saw that Gu Qing was originally a passerby, and suddenly entered the store again.
Antique shops have always been closed for three years, and they have been open for three years.
The shopkeeper felt that although there was no magpie crying today, he must be lucky, and this order was going to be successful.
