Chapter 179: The Body and the Jade Statue
"Rama's body? I haven't heard of it. Is there anything strange about it?" Prince Qing said in confusion. I wonder why Chen Sheng suddenly mentioned this, and the way to change the topic was too stiff.
"A thousand years ago, when Emperor Wu of Liang, an Indian monk Rama traveled to the Central Plains to spread the Dharma. He voluntarily entered the palace and preached the Dharma for three years. After leaving the palace, Rama faced the walls of Jiuhua Mountain for 19 years, and made great progress in martial arts and Buddhism. After his death, he immortalized his golden body."
"It is rare for Buddhist monks to leave their golden bodies after their death, but they are rare in all dynasties and are not uncommon." Prince Qing still didn't understand why.
"The golden body is indeed nothing strange. What is strange is that the golden body left by Rama is actually healthy. Rumors have been that when Rama faces the wall, he understands profound martial arts, so that his eyes can be blind and can be clear, lost teeth can be restored, broken limbs can be restored, regenerates defects, and regenerates fate."
"Regenerate the defect and make up for the defects, and regenerate the fortune..." Prince Qing's expression moved, but he quickly returned to calm. He shook his head and said, "The rumors should not be believed, let alone the old things that were thousands of years ago."
Prince Qing had three major regrets in his life. The first was that the mutiny failed and he was exiled outside the pass, and he was not allowed to return to the Ming Dynasty for his whole life.
The second thing is that he was punished and his feet were cut off and his body was incomplete.
The third thing is that the bloodline is cut off due to injury.
With Jiayuguan in hand, returning to the Central Plains is no longer a luxury, so Prince Qing now only regrets the next two things.
If there is really a way to make up for the defect, let him grow his feet and continue his bloodline, he will of course be moved.
However, Prince Qing is ambition and claims to be a hero of his generation. He doesn't listen to the wind or rain, and he will make big moves based on rumors alone.
"Then let me tell you something about what happened recently. A year ago, the Ming Dynasty's chief minister Zhang Haiduan was destroyed. Have you heard of it?"
"This matter is related to Rama's body?" Prince Qing frowned. Of course he knew about the murder of the prime minister.
"Zhang Haiduan was killed by Black Stone because he collected half of Rama's body." Chen Sheng nodded.
"Hei Shi is so brave to assassinate the Ming Dynasty's chief minister. When I enter the Central Plains, I will uproot the Black Stone." Prince Qing slapped the table suddenly and said angrily, slowing down and asking, "Why are there half of the remains?"
"Rama's body caused countless bloody storms, and was divided into two in the fight. Now the half of the Black Stone was taken away by the killer's drizzle and disappeared; the other half was in the hands of Zhang Dajing, the richest man in Jiangnan, Tongbao Money House." Chen Sheng replied.
The chief minister of the court, Hei Shi, and the richest man in Jiangnan were all top figures and forces in the Ming Dynasty. These people were all competing for the remains of Rama. The rumors seemed to be much more credible, and Prince Qing fell into deep thought.
After a while, Prince Qing asked, "Zhang Haiduan, Heishi, Zhang Dajing, these people are fighting for Rama's body to make up for the defect?"
"Yes." Chen Sheng nodded and said, "Zhang Haiduan's son Zhang Renfeng suffers from a heart attack. He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child to live to adulthood. He urgently needs the help of the Rama magical arts; the Lord of Black Stone, whose real name is Cao Feng, is an eunuch in the palace. He dreams of being a normal man; although Zhang Dajing, Tongbao Money House, is rich enough to rival a country, he is a paralyzed and needs to be carried by people when entering and leaving. What he wants most is a healthy body."
Prince Qing was even more interested. He used his own judgment. If there was no basis, it was just a rumor in the world. These people could not mobilize all their troops to pursue Rama's body.
Zhang Haiduan has made the official position to the top, the King of the Wheels has made the killer to the top, and Zhang Dajing has made the money to the top. If he can make his industry to the top, no one will be a fool.
"A son-in-law is confident that he can pull his teeth from the tiger's mouth and snatch Rama's body from these people?" asked Prince Qing.
"Apart from me, is there any more suitable candidates for the prince?" Chen Sheng asked back.
"That's right, that's right, this matter..."
"Prince, my tribe's holy object..." Chi Longer, who was beside him, saw that the two talked about Rama's body and completely forgot about what had happened before, hurriedly reminded him.
"Oh, yes, the jade statue." Prince Qing came to his senses and said to Chen Sheng: "The Rama's body was released in advance, and it was impossible to decide the ownership of the thousand-year battle, and there was no rush to this moment. The son-in-law would rather go to the God of Wealth Inn first, and be sure to bring the things back."
"What is so important? I have to go there in person?" Chen Sheng said curiously. After he took so much saliva, he still couldn't fool him.
"A white jade Guanyin." Prince Qing said: "What's going on? General Chi will tell you himself."
"I and my silver-armored corps under my command are all survivors of Ronglu. Our clan has believed in Guanyin Bodhisattva for generations, and the holy objects in the clan are a white jade Guanyin of the same height as others. During my grandfather's generation, the clan was in chaos, and the holy objects were stolen and disappeared. For decades, my clan members and I have been searching for the whereabouts of the sacred objects, but unfortunately they have never succeeded. Fortunately, I was appreciated by the prince, and with the prince's help, I offered a reward of 50,000 taels of gold, which made me turn around."
Speaking of this, Chi Longer bowed to Prince Qing, and then said: "Sometimes, a person from the Central Plains, Jin Bu Er Chuanxin, said that he had found the holy objects and was on his way outside the pass. However, this person was insatiable and was not satisfied with 50,000 taels of gold. Instead, he wanted to put the white jade Guanyin at the annual treasure competition conference of the God of Wealth Inn, and the price was higher."
"Money is only the amount, and I don't care. Whether it is 50,000 taels or 100,000 taels, as long as I can help General Chi retrieve the holy objects, even more kings are willing to pay. However, I found out that Jin Buer is a man from the underworld, nicknamed Smile Yan Luo, and I am afraid that I will not trade honestly." Prince Qing added, then looked at Chen Sheng and said solemnly:
"Although the God of Wealth Inn is located outside the pass, it is not the territory of this king and is very close to the Central Plains. At this time, major events are imminent, so I cannot mobilize my troops at will. Tuotuo is pregnant and cannot go, so I can only work hard for my son-in-law to go."
"If Mr. Yan can help usher in the holy relics of our clan, if you have any requests in the future, I will never refuse the tribe members." Chi Longer promised.
Chen Sheng was a little stunned at this moment. He seemed to have some impression of the God of Wealth Inn, White Jade Guanyin, Jin Buer, and Silver Armored Corps.
"Is the boss of the God of Wealth Inn called Yu Linglong?" Chen Sheng asked after recalling for a moment.
"That's right." Prince Qing nodded and said, "Have you heard of it?"
That's right, "The God of Wealth Inn". Chen Sheng watched this movie while sleeping. The only impression after watching it was the boss's wife Yu Linglong's ditch.
Although it seems to be squeezed out, there is indeed a ditch. No matter how it comes, it is a good ditch to dare to expose it.
"Ten beauties of alien races, as long as you bring back the jade statue, I will fulfill it immediately." Prince Qing saw that Chen Sheng did not reply and thought he was still unwilling to go, so he agreed to his preference.
Chen Sheng was still trying to recall the depth of the gap. He was stunned when he heard this: "Doing! The son-in-law will set off now..."
"Don't be anxious." Prince Qing called Chen Sheng, took out a jade pendant, and handed it to him, "Yu Linglong is my king's person, this is a token, but it is not necessary to use it easily. Linglong has collected information and gathered money over the years and has done a lot for me. I have promised to give her freedom."
"Your person?" Chen Sheng said in surprise.
But it’s right to think about it. In such a lawless place outside the pass, Jin Xiangyu had to open a black shop with thousands of soldiers next to each other, and of course, someone would have to protect Yu Linglong’s treasure competition.
"No," Prince Qing nodded and said, "Linglong is also my adopted daughter, but unlike Tuotuo who stayed with me, she was sent out by me to do things very early."
