Yue Guanchao carefully thought about Ban Shu's words, and it was probably for this purpose. Judging from the work of Huasheng Trading Company back then, Hua Yuxiu had already been discovered by these master craftsmen at that time, and his parents were beaten. Things that are going wrong.
"Besides this, is there any other purpose?" Tan Yanqiu had dealt with everyone, fearing that these master craftsmen had other purposes.
Ban Shu continued: "As long as Hua Yuxiu can lead us to the tomb of Beifu, we will definitely let her live and cure her disease. The craftsman of Yasheng only seeks wealth and never kills himself."
"How do you know that I can take you to the Beifu Tomb? I have never heard of a tomb." After hearing this, Hua Yuxiu couldn't bear it anymore and stood up and asked.
Ban Shu already knew that she would ask this question, and explained: "You don't know now because you haven't started to feel lost yet. When you really feel lost, we will let you discover the Beifu Tomb. You will understand when you go to Wushan." "
"Wushan? Luoshen still wants to go to Wushan?" Hua Yuxiu asked.
Ban Shu nodded: "The Goddess of Wushan only exists in Wushan. If you don't return to Wushan, you can't be her disciple."
"You have time to think about it. After three days, you can decide whether to make this deal with us. It will be useless to come back after three days."
"see a visitor out!"
Ban Shu had finished speaking and had nothing to say anymore. He asked the two craftsmen to take them out of the hall and back to the entrance hall. Everyone looked at the two craftsmen guarding them again. Of the two living people, only the wooden puppets were left. It looks vivid and real, but it is indeed a sculpture of a dead thing, completely lifeless.
Yue Guanchao observed carefully that one of the left and right hands of the two wood carvings was indeed missing, and they were exactly the same as the craftsmen they saw when they first arrived.
At this moment, everyone felt their backs numb and even the cold air came out.
What the hell is the Overwhelming Technique? It can actually make a wooden person act like a real person in broad daylight!
…
After going out, Tan Yanqiu took Hua Yuxiu back to the Grand Theater first. When Yue Guanchao and the others returned to the inn, Yue Qingshan had already returned and was squatting on the stall at the entrance of the inn, watching others play chess.
After returning to the guest room, Yue Guanchao asked: "Second uncle, have all the matters concerning Senior Luo been settled?"
Yue Qingshan nodded: "Mei Luo continues to open a Kunqu opera hall in Hangzhou. Fortunately, the daughter of the Lu family is also in Hangzhou, so we can take care of each other. When her restaurant is almost open, I will come back."
"I'm just wondering if you'll be happy or not, so I'll just set up a stall in Hangzhou and never come back."
When Yue Guanchao said this, Yue Qingshan frowned, took two puffs of cigarette, waved his hands and said: "How can that be possible? If Miss Luo and I missed it, we missed it. Now no one has that thought. Once her matter is resolved, I will also It can be regarded as canceling the previous sinful debts.”
"Brother Yue, you are back. A lot of things have happened in the past half month..."
Sun Daqiao told Yue Qingshan everything that had happened in the past half month.
Yue Qingshan thought it was completely over, but when he thought about the white-haired animals that appeared in Shennongjia and were involved with Tan Yanqiu, he felt that one wave was coming after another, and this was also their sinful debt.
One thing he really didn't expect was that Tan Yanqiu, who was just a thin man with a sharp tongue in the past, had earned such a big business in Jianghan, and even reached the point where he could control the wind and rain. Speaking of this, Sun Daqiao and Yue Qingshan felt both sad and good. many.
This is just like the previously inconspicuous clerical accounting office, suddenly transformed into the number one scholar in the Hanlin Academy. It has been thirty or forty years since the Golden Rat Society was disbanded. After all, it was thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. The Feng Shui has reversed again. Yue Qingshan No matter how open-minded he was, he couldn't help but feel sour after listening to Sun Daqiao's explanation.
Seeing his second uncle like this, Yue Guanchao pursed his lips and said: "Second uncle, you and Sun Daqiao look quite sour. Do you regret hiding in the mountain nest? If you had taken gold to go to Fengtian when you were young, maybe now If we can cover the sky in Fengtian with just one hand, then Second Artillery and I can live the lives of rich young masters."
The old Yue banged his pipe: "What's the matter? Are you tired of living in poverty? If you want to live like a rich young master, I think Brother Tan is still a nostalgic person. I can still adopt you to him despite my old shame. In this way, you will become the young masters of the Tan family, and how much food you can take from others' mouths in the future depends entirely on your ability."
"Hahahaha, did you hear that? Tan Guanchao, you will have a new father soon."
Xu Xiake seized the opportunity and finally teased Yue about watching the tide, laughing happily.
Yue Guanchao's face was full of black lines and he was evasive: "Don't mention it, I am as old as the Second Artillery, so people may not be willing to do it."
"But, are you really not bitter?"
Yue Qingshan shook his head: "It's sour, why isn't it sour? If you say it's not sour, you'd be a hypocrite. In the past, apart from brother Chao, I was the most prestigious in the Golden Rat Club. Brother Tan was just a salesman at that time. We saw him eating He had to live in a hundred families, so he was absorbed into the Golden Rat Club and became a flower tongue."
"However, it can only be called a few sour words. It is neither jealousy nor envy. Thirty or forty years have passed since the Golden Rat Society separated. I have no idea how the brothers in the society are doing. Tan Yanqiu was recuperating in Shennongjia. , we never saw each other again.”
"For the rest of the Golden Rat Club, it has nothing to do with me what their life chances are. I want people to live in this world for once, to endure hardships, enjoy happiness, and live in an ordinary life. Nothing will surprise them..."
People who have endured hardships, such as Luo Shiniang, Sun Daqiao, and people from the Qingchuan Club, have been running away since they left the Golden Rat Club. Even if they were lucky enough to survive, they have experienced three disasters and six disasters. , I have endured all the hardships in the world, but when I wake up from Huang Liang’s sweet dream, I can still struggle forward.
Another example is a person who enjoys good fortune. Even if Chao Bingzhong is not the boss of the Golden Rat Society, he is still the young master of Chao Fengfu. He has become famous for being in charge of the family business in the past few decades. Even if he is parasitized by the green-winged mother cicada, he can save the day in the end. Compared with Others, who died young and were reduced to ashes, were considered to have had a good life.
There are more people like Yue Qingshan. After leaving the Golden Rat Society, they live a plain life in anonymity. They may have turned into businessmen, ordinary people, jugglers, farmers in the fields, bodyguards in escort agencies, or even moved away from home. Missing.
They all know that the affairs of the Golden Rat Club are extremely taboo, and they will not let others know their identities easily, lest they cause death.
People like Tan Yanqiu, who know that they are remnants of the Golden Rat Society and still want to show their faces in the world, are destined to be not ordinary people. If you don't pay attention, someone will see the flaw, and maybe they will discover him directly. identity of.
The fact that he has been able to hide his true identity for decades and still amass such a large fortune shows that he is no longer the little salesman he used to be with his skills and abilities.
Yue Qingshan heard Sun Daqiao also mention that Tan Yanqiu had not always been smooth sailing. It could be said that he had gone through many ups and downs. People doing business in Jianghan would inevitably have to go through government negotiations and market runs. He was once thrown into the mud. After these changes, he could still survive. How can he be an ordinary person if he is famous? He must be determined, courageous, and have strengths that ordinary people cannot have.
In other words, if he or Sun Daqiao had experienced these changes and tribulations, they would probably have been devastated by one failure and would not have the chance to start over again.
Yue Qingshan sighed: "Although Sun Daqiao and I are jealous of this wealth, we also understand that this is not something ordinary people can achieve. Individuals have personal blessings. As for this favor, we must help. Back then, we did say, From now on, no matter who becomes rich, he must go back and repair the Nongshenji Temple. This is also a wish to be fulfilled and should not be neglected."
"This is the Wushan goddess you are talking about. What does it mean?"
Not only Yue Qingshan was curious, but everyone was also surprised that the affairs of the Beifu Tomb would actually involve the Wushan Goddess.
Song Siyuan considered it and said: "This is not difficult to understand. It is probably the guidance of the white river sturgeon."
"Then this big white fish is a bit too amazing."
Yue Guanchao recalled the white river sturgeon they saw and felt goosebumps in his heart.
"We have always made the mistake of preconceptions, mistakenly believing that the fish god showed up to make the white river sturgeon appear here. Maybe there is another possibility."
When Song Siyuan talked about this, her face became mysterious: "Perhaps, the white river sturgeon is just an old fish, but it happened to be caught by the master craftsman and deliberately made it into a fish god. In fact, the real thing is What works is still the overpowering technique of the God-pressing craftsmen. Maybe even the magical powers of the white river sturgeon are some tricks created by these God-pressing craftsmen."
Yue Guanchao nodded: "This is indeed possible. According to the meaning of the divine craftsman, she seems to be very familiar with the Wushan Goddess. I guess we have to check these clues."
"Need not."
Song Siyuan looked at him: "At that time, when we were looking for Xiangyang local records, we also learned about the story of the Wushan goddess..."
The Goddess of Wushan, also called the Emperor of Wushan, is the daughter of the Southern Red Emperor, the Shennong clan. In ancient mythology, the Goddess of Wushan is named Yao Ji. When she was young, she was a mortal. She suffered from a serious illness and became weak and weak. , Emperor Yan personally tasted the medicinal herbs and searched for witch doctors to prepare medicinal soup for her, but in the end he could not bring her back from the hell.
After Yao Ji died, she was buried on Yaogu Mountain by Emperor Yan. Heaven and earth felt that Yao Ji was pitiful for being unmarried, so her soul attached itself to the vegetation and transformed into the god of mountains and vegetation.
After that, a kind of Ganoderma lucidum began to appear in Yaogu Mountain. As long as a woman eats this Ganoderma lucidum, she can dream of gods, see the goddess, and become bright, beautiful, and immortal. However, this kind of Yao Grass is reserved for women and is forbidden for men to eat.
Regarding this point, it can be said that very few men have seen the Wushan Goddess. Unless the Goddess takes the initiative to entrust her dreams, men should not easily swallow Yao grass. If they eat it easily, they will be punished by the Goddess.
In history, the only man who really saw the goddess was King Huai of Chu!
