After being exiled, I took my whole family to farm in space
Chapter 496: Build a temple to make money?
"What are you two doing? Don't be rude to Master Shangjin." The temple keeper stopped them.
Mu Chaochao looked at the temple keeper with a sincere face and said to him, "Old man, we are from other places. We heard that the Shangjin Zhenren Temple is very popular, so we want to go up and look at the demeanor of Shangjin Zhenren carefully.
I heard that Master Shangjin risked his life to save people and kill monsters, and died. It is really admirable. My brother and I want to build a temple to commemorate Master Shangjin’s achievements after we return to express our respect for him.”
The temple keeper was satisfied after hearing this. He looked the two of them up and down and said with a smile:
"The deeds of Master Shangjin are all recorded in the classics, which are in the back hall. However, there are many pilgrims today, so I'm afraid you two will have to wait for a while."
Mu Chaochao waved her hand and responded: "It's okay, it's okay. It's our honor to be able to pay homage to Master Shangjin. Let's go to the back hall now."
The temple keeper enthusiastically showed them the way, "You two, go that way to the back hall."
"Thank you, old man." The two of them went to the back hall, and Ye Linlang followed closely behind.
The three of them looked at the murals and came to the back hall. There were quite a few people in the back hall. Because the back hall was hung with calligraphy and paintings, most of the people there were literati.
Among them, there was a man who looked like a storyteller, explaining to the pilgrims:
"Master Shangjin is over a hundred years old. No one knows his exact age, but as far as I know, when he was alive, he experienced the change of dynasties and witnessed many historical events."
“Not only that, Master Shangjin also left behind a portrait. It is said that there are mysteries hidden in the painting. As long as someone can understand the painting, they can get a hint of Master Shangjin’s true teachings.
The master was actually looking for a successor, but unfortunately, over the years, no one has been able to truly understand this painting, so the master has not been able to accept any disciples. "The storyteller shook his head and sighed.
Mu Chaochao also listened to several other scholars talking about the deeds of Master Shangjin. From them, he learned that Master Shangjin was not only highly skilled in Taoism, but also proficient in medicine. He often rescued common people and was deeply loved by them.
Ye Linlang taunted in a low voice: "Baili Jin is almost beautifying himself into a god."
"Then let's take this god down from the altar and go! Let's go and see what that magical portrait is."
The portrait is said to contain a secret, and many people gathered to watch, but all they could see was the artistry of the painting.
The scroll shows the back of a tall man, with his profile slightly revealed as he looks up at the sky. Next to him is an inscription of a poem expressing compassion for the world.
"There's nothing special about this painting. The painting skills are average. It looks like an ordinary work. Xiao Qi, can you see what's hidden?"
"Girl, you don't understand. This painting contains the real person's Taoist magic. If we can't see it, it means we are just ordinary people."
Someone nearby corrected Ye Linlang's words.
"I really didn't see it. Where's sister Chaochao?"
"nor!"
This painting is clearly meant to deceive people.
A young man approached Ye Linlang and whispered, "Girl, I have the same opinion as you. I think it's just a trick. Maybe this painting was just casually drawn by Master Shangjin."
"Haha, maybe that's true. These people have been deceived. You are really clear-headed."
Ye Linlang was amused and felt very satisfied with what she heard.
Nothing was found in the back hall, and they left the hall. Mu Chaochao stood at the door and looked back before leaving.
After five days of carriage ride, they arrived at the eastern capital of Lingyue Kingdom. Mu Qing arrived first and had already booked an inn.
"I've been to the Temple of Master Shangjin in Dongdu. The situation is the same as you said, except that this character appeared on the head of the statue, which I found strange. Someone was guarding it and I couldn't go forward to take a closer look, so I wrote down this character." Mu Qing took out the note.
"This is different from what we saw." Mu Chaochao took a look and fell into deep thought.
"What does this character mean? This is much more interesting than the magical portrait that has been rumored."
"Real secrets are hidden. If they are announced so obviously, they must be hiding something."
"Prince Ming is right. He is just trying to deceive the innocent people. Who do you think is a fool?"
"Xiao Qi, Sister Chao Chao, what are you two thinking about? Why aren't you talking?"
"Dongdu is the capital of Lingyue Empire. Temples are generally not built in downtown areas. What is Baili Jin's purpose?" Ye Huaichen was thinking about the motive.
"If you get close to the statue, you will be expelled for blasphemy. Are there strange characters carved on the back of the statue?"
"What my sister said makes sense. The imperial court strongly supports the people's prayers. It is impossible that it is just for Baili Jin to get out of this situation."
"Why then, to make money?"
"Mu Che is right. The Lingyue treasury is empty, so we can earn money from this incense offering."
"Haha, Sixth Princess, great minds think alike." The two of them changed the subject.
Late at night, two figures came all the way from the inn to the busiest temple in Dongdu during the day.
There were still candles burning inside, and several guards at the door were watching and resting. After Ye Huaichen lit the sleeping pills, the two of them swaggered in.
This statue was not the one they had seen before. Instead, it had the same kind eyes as the other statues, as if it was there to save all living beings.
The two men came behind the statue and found its back clean and empty. Mu Chaochao took out two daggers and the two men used the daggers to scratch the back of the statue. In the silent night, the sound was still very creepy.
"There is a discovery."
"Brother Chen, I have one too."
The two of them made some discovery and their speed increased even faster. Soon, densely packed characters were revealed on the entire back.
Mu Chaochao took out a piece of white cloth, draped it on the back of the statue and then sprinkled medicine on it, and the characters on it were copied.
"Got it." He threw it into the space casually, and then took out a powder of the same color as the statue to restore it to its original appearance.
Ye Huaichen waved his hand, and the powder that fell on the ground was cleaned up, and everything was as if they had never been there.
Mumu was brought to Lingyue Country and had good food and sleep along the way. The servant who took care of Mumu carried him to Baili Jin.
Looking at the birthmark on Mumu's forehead, Baili laughed arrogantly, "Hahaha, this is the direct bloodline of the Su family. It has finally come into my hands."
“Wahahaha…” Mumu saw Baili Jin burst into tears and her body struggled constantly.
Baili Jin took out a dagger, pulled open Mumu's clothes, and cut Mumu's fair and tender arm.
“Waaaaa…” Mumu cried heartbreakingly.
“Tsk tsk! It’s just too small. There’s not enough blood. Once the blood dries up, I’ll catch a bigger one.”
Baili Han rushed over when he learned that the servant had carried Mumu to Baili Jin.
"Father, this baby can't die yet. I'm still useful."
Baili Han took Mumu over and stopped her bleeding, then frowned when he saw how weak she looked.
"Just catch them again."
"It's not easy to find the direct bloodline of the Su family, why not keep it and raise it so that it's easier to draw blood."
