"Has anyone dug it up?" Gu Yue asked.

"Yes! It is said that some of the jade wares were bought by high-ranking officials in Luoyang and sold for one hundred thousand taels!" the townspeople exclaimed in shock.

"Such a big commotion, but the court doesn't do anything?" Gu Yue was extremely worried. He seemed to see huge piles of silver flowing out of Gu Xu's pocket.

"You don't understand. When something like this happens, the local officials will definitely keep it secret for as long as possible. They will not report it until their own people have dug up enough information," said the townspeople.

Indeed, if you report it directly, all the money will go into the national treasury, and any further action will be considered corruption.

Gu Yue was anxious! He immediately looked at Gu Xu.

Gu Xu sucked the noodles with a calm expression.

"You..." Gu Yue was stuck after saying just one word.

"Dad really wants those treasures?" Gu Xu asked.

"Yes! With so much money, shouldn't we get it?" Gu Yue was extremely anxious.

"How do we get it?" Gu Xu said innocently, "We don't have anyone."

Gu Yue choked. He got stuck just when he thought of this.

In the original story, Gu Xu had the secret guards of Wumen and the official help of the crown prince, so he was able to get the treasures of Prince Shen so smoothly. Now...

The Wumen secret guards seemed to be by Gu Xu's side. With their abilities, it was not impossible for them to get the things without the prince's help, but it would take some effort.

Gu Yue lowered his voice and said, "Xiao Xu, these things are very important! Believe me! I think these people in the martial arts hall are quite capable, how about..."

"How can I order them around?" Gu Xu looked a little embarrassed.

"Treasure! They must want it too!" Gu Yue was anxious.

But he soon lost his anxiety because he found himself getting stuck in a dead end.

If Wumen cannot be used by Gu Xu, then the treasure will probably not reach Gu Xu's hands for the time being. He will have to wait until Gu Xu completely conquers Wumen.

If Wu Men was already Gu Xu's subordinate, and Gu Xu was just hiding it from him, then he didn't need to worry.

The most urgent task is to make Gu Xu realize the importance of the treasure!

"That's a lot of money, enough to buy half of Northern Qin!" Gu Yue said, "It is said that the treasures left by King Shen are hidden in a cave. The cave is bottomless and as big as the imperial palace. The treasures inside are piled up to the rim...Xiao Xu, you have to pay attention to it!"

Gu Yue looked at him anxiously.

"...Dad, I can't carry so many things by myself." Gu Xu looked aggrieved.

This was not what Gu Yue wanted to emphasize. He asked, "I just want to ask if you want the treasure."

"Yes." Gu Xu looked at him.

"That's good!" Gu Yue was relieved. He turned back to eat noodles.

The townspeople were still talking about the treasure. Gu Yue joined them and asked very carefully, paying attention to Gu Xu and Wu Yan from time to time.

Seeing that both of them seemed to be listening, Gu Yue talked even louder.

Gu Xu had been waiting for Gu Yue to continue talking to him about the treasure, but all the time, Gu Yue didn't say anything more to him, causing Gu Xu to be absent-minded during the meal.

Strange, what does Gu Dashi mean?

After returning and talking with Yu Weishuang, she didn't notice anything unusual.

It was as if this incident had never happened and it passed by normally.

……

Gu Yue was not idle in the carriage. He used a homemade ink cartridge and brush to write three issues of the Hangdou manuscript. His handwriting was ugly to begin with, and the carriage was bumpy, making it almost unbearable to look at.

Fortunately, he was still able to recognize the specific content. Taking advantage of the night's rest, Gu Yue re-copied it, put the rice paper away and stuffed it in his arms, intending to hand it over to the branch office when he arrived at the capital of Yuning Prefecture.

The journey was smooth and Gu Xu didn't make a fuss anymore. Gu Yue felt relaxed and paid less attention to him.

According to what he thought, at least the important plot would not encounter major changes due to the change of cannon fodder, and the property that could be obtained should eventually belong to the male protagonist, so he didn't have to worry too much.

There's no point in worrying. He's just a cannon fodder with no room for maneuver. Can he really go to Tongshan alone, defeat all the tomb robbers and government officials, and bring back the treasure by himself?

If he had some kind of spatial golden finger, then the plot of accidentally entering the mountains and forests and obtaining all the treasures might happen to him.

Stop daydreaming and think carefully about what goods to import.

The official road re-enters a small stretch of low hills, and then goes south directly to Yuning Prefecture.

Because they had agreed to escort Yu Weishuang to Qingxu Temple, the convoy changed its route midway, asked the locals for directions, and then headed towards Taiqing Temple in a mighty manner.

Qingxu Temple is a Taoist temple affiliated with Taiqing Temple, where the Taoist nuns live.

In fact, they are located on two different hills, not far from each other. Because the hills are not high, they are about the same size as the mountain made of garbage in Gu Yue's hometown in this world.

After following the winding path and reaching the foot of the mountain, the convoy could no longer move forward.

Fortunately, there are many more carriages coming here to burn incense and play, and it is no longer a deserted place; and most of these people who come here to burn incense are from Yuning Prefecture, where there are as many dignitaries as in Sushui County, so there are guards from these dignitaries' homes everywhere around.

Gu Yue and his companions decided to park the convoy in an open space in the woods at the foot of the mountain, together with the carriages of the nobles.

Leaving most of the people to guard the carriage, Gu Yue and Gu Xu got on Yu Weishuang's luggage carriage and headed towards Qingxu Temple with them. Wu Feng and Wu Yun accompanied them.

On the way to Qingxu Temple, the surroundings became much quieter.

Qingxu Temple is a very famous place.

Famous in two aspects.

First, Qingxu Temple is the largest Taoist nun temple in Northern Qin. The Taoist nun who lives there, Qingxu Zhenren, is highly virtuous and has noble character. It is said that she is a princess who became a Taoist nun. Moreover, this Taoist temple is very effective in praying for anything. However, it is a reservation system and only accepts a wave of female guests at a time. It is said that the ladies who make reservations to burn incense have to wait for three years.

Secondly, Qingxu Temple is a very famous place for women who have made mistakes to reflect on themselves.

They did not live together with the nuns. The women sent here for meditation had separate residences, and nuns would go there every day to teach them the rules. Occasionally, some women who could make it would go to Luoyang to make a comeback, and at least they would receive an imperial decree.

But... once you get in, it's as difficult as climbing to the sky to get out.

Otherwise, the ladies would have flocked here to meditate long ago.

A carriage just happened to pass by the secluded bamboo forest path. After walking for half an hour, the carriage arrived at the steps in front of Qingxu Temple.

Two Taoist nuns were waiting here. One went forward to direct the carriage, while the other came straight forward and glanced at Gu Yue and Gu Xu's faces.

He first stayed on Gu Xu's face for a while, then turned to Gu Yue, but stared at him even longer, so long that Gu Yue's scalp began to tingle.

"We are just escorting her to Qingxu Temple and will leave soon." Gu Yue thought that men were not allowed to approach this place, so he said quickly.

Yu Weishuang got off the carriage and walked to the front with the maid.

"Three guests, please follow me."

But the Taoist nun said.
