"Such a big deal."
I picked up the ingot and weighed it. It was quite comfortable. I turned it over and took a look. I saw that the word "Qiantai" was engraved on the bottom of the ingot.
"I heard people say that this is called Thousand-year-old Silver." Tietou explained, "I wanted to see what the Cao family was up to, so I went to join in the fun, and ended up getting such a gold ingot."
After I looked at it, I handed the thousand-year-old silver back to Tietou and said, "Put this ingot in a mahogany box and bury it in the ground."
Tietou was about to put it in his pocket happily, but when he heard this, his hand trembled, and he hurriedly threw the ingot on the table, as if it was hot to his hand, "If you want...should I leave it here with you? "
"Why are you letting me here?" I didn't understand.
"Is there something wrong with this... Is there something wrong with this Yuanbao? I... I'd rather leave it with you for safety." Tietou said hurriedly.
"That's okay, you can keep it with me first, and then you can come and take it away when you're sure there's nothing wrong with it." I agreed.
"Okay, okay!" Tietou nodded repeatedly, and couldn't help but move his butt back, further away from the ingot.
While he was talking, Shao Zilong came in from the outside in a puff of dust, picked up the teapot, poured a glass of water, and drank three large cups.
"What is this?" He glanced at the Thousand Years Silver on the table and took it curiously.
Tietou told the Cao family about praying for blessings.
"This is interesting, Lao Lin, we have to go there!" Shao Zilong said seriously, his eyes shining.
Tietou was taken aback and asked quickly, "Is there something weird about this blessing?"
"Weird? What's weird?" Shao Zilong glanced at him doubtfully, "There is such a big ingot to make, so you have to go quickly, otherwise it will be gone!"
"Ah?" Tietou was stunned for a long time.
"Ah what?" Shao Zilong grabbed me and shouted, "Let's go, Haitang, are you okay here alone?"
"No problem." Haitang said crisply.
I was dragged by him for a few steps and said angrily, "You have to wash your face and change clothes. If you are muddy like this, don't worry about others kicking you out."
"Yes, just wait a moment!" Shao Zilong said and walked out the door.
After a while, he finished washing and came out wearing clean clothes.
The two of us took a taxi and went straight to the Cao family's mansion.
By the time we arrived, it was almost evening, and the setting sun on the horizon reflected the golden light on the grand door of the Cao family.
There was a crowd of people at the door, some came to pray, some came to take photos and videos, it was very lively.
I put my fingers between my eyes and activated the aura technique.
I saw that the Cao family's mansion was glowing red, and its luck was at its peak. However, compared with before, it was a bit dimmer, especially in the southeast direction, which was more obvious.
Obviously, the old house Liu Hao was guarding and the continuous incidents in Shimen Village had a great impact on the Cao family.
However, the luck of the Cao family is so prosperous that even if it has dimmed a bit, it is still at its peak!
"There are too many people praying. Please register first and wait in line here."
There were four people guarding the gate, one of them shouted loudly to get people to line up, and another one was responsible for registering.
Shao Zilong took the lead and walked in, but was stopped by someone and asked to wait in line.
"What are you waiting for?" Shao Zilong's eyes narrowed, "It was Xiao Cao who invited us here, let him come out and talk!"
"Xiao Cao?" The four gatekeepers were stunned.
"You don't know Xiao Cao? You don't know Cao Junwu?" Shao Zilong asked with a frown.
The four people looked at each other for a while, then looked at Shao Zilong, then at me, and asked uncertainly, "Are you two... masters?"
"What's wrong with being a master? Let's keep a low profile. Come on, come on, register quickly. There are still a lot of things waiting for us!" Shao Zilong waved his hand.
"That... okay, you take the two masters there first."
The leader let us in respectfully, and sent a person to take us to the place of prayer, and then sent another person to run all the way to other places.
I guess I was worried, so I sent someone to check.
"Where does Boss Cao live?" I asked casually on the way.
"It's at Kuixingyuan." The man said.
"Kui Xing Garden?" Shao Zilong asked doubtfully, "What is that place?"
"That's the big courtyard." The man pointed forward and said, "Master Gu said that this courtyard is located right in the center of the entire mansion. It gathers the luck from all directions and is the most suitable for our boss to recuperate."
"Master Gu? Is this Xiao Cao's master?" Shao Zilong asked.
The man nodded yes.
"Master Gu is here too?" I asked him.
"Master Gu just left and will come back later." The man explained.
While we were talking, the man led us to a courtyard, which was full of people, including men and women, old and young.
Everyone sat cross-legged, with a notebook spread out on their knees, filled with words. Everyone clasped their hands together and muttered words.
"What are you thinking about?" Shao Zilong asked.
"Reciting Buddhist scriptures." The man explained.
"No wonder I can't understand." Shao Zilong snorted and asked, "Aren't you praying for blessings? Why are you chanting sutras?"
"I'm not sure about that." The man smiled and shook his head.
I asked him, "Is this decided by Master Gu?"
But that person didn't know.
"Okay, you can go back and do your work." Shao Zilong waved his hand and sent the man away.
After the man left, he came over and whispered, "What kind of trick do you think this is?"
"Aren't you here to make money? You don't care what his tricks are." I said with a smile.
"You can't say that. My old man kicked me out and said he wanted me to practice. Isn't this a good opportunity to practice? It kills two birds with one stone." Shao Zilong said with a smile.
Before we could say a few words, an old man who was praying next to us suddenly opened his eyes and glared at us, "Be sincere when praying and don't talk!"
"That's what you said." We smiled apologetically and then retreated from the yard.
There are at least a hundred people in this courtyard, but this is just one of the courtyards.
The entire Cao family mansion has countless courtyards, large and small.
The two of us walked around casually and found that these courtyards were basically filled with people praying for blessings.
These courtyards are like layers of lotus flowers, surrounding Kuixing Garden in the center, like stars over the moon.
"This is really interesting." Shao Zilong clicked his tongue.
This is not like an ordinary prayer.
We observed carefully, including the distribution directions of these courtyards, the number of people in the courtyards, and even the ratio of men to women, all of which coincided with a certain pattern.
"Do you understand Buddhist scriptures? What do they recite?" Shao Zilong asked.
I don't understand.
At this moment, a sudden burst of footsteps came closer and closer, and two people were seen running in front of them, one of whom was carrying someone on his back.
Both of them looked frightened and walked in a hurry.
