Dreaming about the world, embarking on the path of spiritual practice
Chapter 59 Grave Robbers
…
Rest overnight in Wucheng
On the second day, Yu Liang walked around the city again before setting off. He wanted to buy some things he would need for the upcoming journey.
First of all, the mount needs to be replaced by a camel. Secondly, the clothes on the body also need to be changed, and there are some necessities.
On the busy street, Yu Liang was buying the things he needed when he suddenly found a pagoda-shaped music box on a Hu merchant's stall.
He stepped forward to pick it up and check it out. The material and shape were exactly the same as the one he bought yesterday, but the music coming out of it was different.
"Friend, this is a treasure. I asked for it from a master. Its name is 'Linglong Pagoda'!"
"Listen, what a beautiful sound, I feel so relaxed after listening to it!"
After listening to Hu Shang's sales pitch, Yu Liang remembered the Hu Shang yesterday. He also said that he got it from a guru, so he asked curiously:
"Excuse me, can you tell me which master you got this from?"
The other party shook his head: "I can't say unless you buy it!"
"Okay, how much is it?"
"Thirty taels of gold!"
Seeing his open mouth, Yu Liang chuckled: "I met a Hu businessman selling this thing like you yesterday, and he only asked me for ten taels of gold, but in the end he sold me five taels of gold. Is your thirty taels of gold too much?"
"That's because you only bought his things and didn't ask him questions. If you want me to answer, you have to pay me thirty taels of gold."
Yu Liang put down the music box in his hand: "Thirty taels of gold is too much. I'd better ask the person from yesterday!"
He turned around and pretended to leave. He thought that this Hu merchant would stop him, but he never thought that the other party waved his hand directly and said: "Go ahead, I'll wait for you to come back!"
Yu Liang turned to look at him and asked curiously: "Are you so sure that I will come back?"
Hu Shang nodded confidently: "I can tell you clearly that apart from me, no other person can tell you where this thing comes from!"
"Oh, are you so sure?"
"I won't explain anything to you. After you ask other people, you will naturally find me again if you still want to know the answer."
Yu Liang thought for a moment after hearing this, and secretly thought that this guy was so confident. It seemed that there must be some secret in it, and then he said:
"Thirty taels of gold is too much, I don't have that much!"
"No, no, no, it's forty taels of gold."
When he heard that the other party was sitting on the ground and raising the price, Yu Liang was shocked, his pupils dilated slightly, and he immediately retorted: "Wasn't it still thirty taels just now?"
Hu Shang showed a profiteer's smile: "Thirty taels of gold is the money for you to ask me questions, and the other 10 taels of gold is the money for you to buy my things!"
"If you want me to answer the question, you have to buy my things first, so it's forty taels of gold."
"Okay, okay!"
Yu Liang was annoyed by the other party's unreasonableness: "Okay, okay, okay, forty taels, right?"
"But I don't have that much money on me right now. Are you going to wait here for me to get the money, or are you going back to the inn with me to get it?"
"I am here waiting for you!"
Seeing that the other party was different from the Hu merchant yesterday and did not choose to go back to the inn with him, Yu Liang said again:
"I'd better trouble you to come with me. I don't want to run back and forth anymore, please!"
Hu Shang just thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "That's okay!"
The two returned to the inn where they stayed.
Yu Liang brought Hu Shang into his guest room.
He took out a crystal pendant from his luggage, which he bought casually while shopping yesterday.
"Where's the gold?"
Seeing that Yu Liang only took out an ordinary pendant, Hu Shang asked doubtfully.
"I don't have gold, but I have a more precious treasure that can replace gold."
Hearing this, Hu Shang frowned: "Isn't the treasure you are talking about the pendant?"
"Don't underestimate it!"
Yu Liang placed the hand-held pendant in front of Hu Shang's eyes and guided him softly: "This is not an ordinary pendant. Look carefully at the crystal on it. Do you feel it is shining?"
When Hu Shang heard this, he stared at the slightly shaking crystal with his eyes, and his expression couldn't help but become psychedelic.
"Look carefully, doesn't it feel beautiful and emitting a strange light?"
Under Yu Liang's hypnosis, Hu Shang looked dull and said slowly: "Yes, it's so beautiful!"
Yu Liang swayed the pendant slightly and asked softly: "Tell me, which master did you get this 'Linglong Pagoda' from?"
When Hu Shang heard the inquiry, his eyes were dull and he replied dully: "It's not the master, the 'Linglong Pagoda' was stolen from the spiritual pagoda by us!"
The pagoda is a place where the remains of Buddhist monks are stored.
Grave robber!
Yu Liang didn't expect to get this answer.
At the same time, he thought to himself: Tomb robbing is really a good profession. The good things he encountered twice were all brought out from the tomb!
"How many people are in your gang? How many things did you steal in total?..."
Yu Liang then asked many more questions, and Hu Shang, who was hypnotized, answered them all accurately.
There were four members in their gang. By chance, while sleeping in a dilapidated temple on a barren mountain, they accidentally discovered that the underground of the dilapidated temple was actually empty!
The four dug a passage and found that there were many spiritual pagodas inside.
They took out all the burial objects inside.
In addition to some treasures made of gold and silver, scriptures and books, there are also some funerary objects similar to those of the 'Linglong Pagoda'.
In the Western Region, Buddhism is the supreme existence. These four people did not dare to sell the things they brought from the pagoda in the Western Region, so they thought of transporting the things to the Central Plains and selling them to the Ming people.
According to Hu Shang's description, there are four "Linglong Towers" in total, each of which can produce different music!
Among all the ritual objects buried with him, the ‘Linglong Pagoda’ made of stone is the least valuable.
Not only because of the material, but also because of the worst effect.
Among the funerary objects was a golden prayer wheel. When held in the hand and shaken, it can immediately relax people's minds and clear their minds!
Finally, Yu Liang got a piece of news!
This Hu businessman actually planned to work with three other partners to kill him and rob him of his money after the transaction was completed!
"You've leaked your wealth!" Yu Liang sighed.
Control Hu Shang to lie on the bed
A silver needle was inserted into the acupuncture point between his eyebrows, causing him to sleep forever without any pain.
I'm sorry. Originally, I only planned to ask you a question and then let you go, but you have too many stupid things. If I let you go, you will definitely come to me, so I'm sorry. , I can only act first!
Take everything he has on him and cover him with a quilt.
Yu Liang went to the inn counter to pay for three extra days and asked no one to enter his room.
After that, he took all his things and left the inn.
Instead of leaving Wucheng, he walked around the city and found an inn to stay.
