"The Great Temple? Where is that place?" Fang Yu asked with a frown.
"You don't even know about the Great Temple? This is the most famous landmark in Dongdu." Mr. Cao glanced at Fang Yu and said, "Even if you are not from Dongdu, you should have heard of it."
Fang Yu shook his head and said, "I rarely go out, so I've never heard of it."
"Mr. Cao, we have heard about the Great Temple, but isn't that place just an attraction? What's the use of the key?" asked the middle-aged man next to him.
"Usually when you go to the Great Temple, you can only walk around outside and take pictures?" Mr. Cao rolled his eyes at the middle-aged man and said, "With the key, you can naturally open the door of the Great Temple and go directly inside.
It’s over!”
"But the interior of the Great Temple...isn't it still a tourist attraction? How could the martial arts practitioners in the Eastern Capital be attracted by such a reward?" Another man asked doubtfully.
"Alas... you are really slow-minded." Mr. Cao sighed, shook his head and said, "The Great Temple is a very mysterious place. If you have read the legends about the Great Temple, you will know about this place.
How old is it..."
As he said that, Mr. Cao turned his head and looked to the side, and saw several beauties with beautiful faces, their eyes shining brightly.
"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you anymore. You can go and have fun on your own." Mr. Cao left these words and walked towards the beauties.
The three men present were just out of curiosity. As people from the secular world, they had nothing to do with any major events in the martial arts world.
So the three men also dispersed.
Fang Yu retreated to the original tree, holding the finished cocktail glass and frowning slightly.
The Great Temple...
In fact, he has been to this place before.
When he traveled to China, he also stayed in Dongdu for a while, about two hundred years ago?
At that time, the Great Temple was not a tourist attraction, but a large ancient building left over from the past. At that time, the door of the Great Temple was indeed tightly locked and no one was allowed to enter.
At that time, Fang Yu walked around the Great Temple and didn't feel anything strange. He just felt it was boring and left after that.
But I just heard Mr. Cao say that the Dongdu Martial Arts Association used the keys to the Great Temple as a bounty, which caused a shock in the Dongdu Martial Arts community...
So, there is a universe within the Great Temple?
"The reward for Fang Changsheng... is a bit interesting."
Fang Yu touched his chin, his eyes flashed slightly, and then he showed a hint of smile.
He suddenly thought of a good idea and could successfully obtain the key to the great temple provided by the Dongdu Martial Arts Association.
"Miracle Doctor Fang!"
Just as Fang Yu was thinking, a male voice sounded from the side.
Fang Yu turned around and saw that it was Tang Mingde.
"Master Tang." Fang Yu nodded in greeting.
"I knew Mr. Fang that you would come tonight." Tang Mingde said with a smile.
Fang Yu glanced behind Tang Mingde and breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't see Tang Xiaorou.
"Xiaorou still has to go to class, so I didn't let her come back to Jiangnan." Tang Mingde said.
"Very good." Fang Yu said.
After chatting with Tang Mingde for a few words, the atmosphere in the yard suddenly became lively again.
It seems that another big shot has arrived.
Fang Yu and Tang Mingde looked at the courtyard door together.
At this time, two figures walked into the sight of everyone in the yard.
These are two young men who look to be under thirty years old. They are handsome, but have a bit of an exotic look between their eyebrows, and they seem to be of mixed race.
But the two men look very similar and should be brothers.
The reason why they attract so much attention is because of their clothes.
All the guests present were wearing suits. But these brothers were wearing silk robes, just like the grooms who got married in ancient times.
"These are the Yuan brothers from Xidu." At this time, Tang Mingde beside him whispered, "The Yuan family is a famous silk family in Xidu. The Yuan brothers came to Jiangnan last week and negotiated with us.
It’s about the silk business... The reason why they wear these silk robes is said to be due to family rules.”
"Oh." Fang Yu nodded without saying anything.
But at this time, the atmosphere in the courtyard was at its highest point.
"It's the Yuan brothers from Xidu! They're actually here too!"
"Is it the Yuan family in Xidu?"
"I didn't expect them to come... hurry up and get to know them!"
Many guests present were surprised by the arrival of the Yuan brothers.
Judging from their reactions, it is obvious that the Xidu Yuan family is not simple.
"The Yuan family is at the top of the Western Capital...the family has a very deep heritage, and its industries cover the entire northwest and southwest regions...many of these industries are in an absolute leading position...it would be unfair to call it a monopoly." Tang Mingde saw Fang Yu.
He kept staring at the Yuan brothers and continued to introduce them.
At this time, Fang Yu was indeed staring at the Yuan brothers.
However, what he was staring at was not the two Yuan brothers, but the various jade articles worn by these two people.
The color of these jade articles is very special.
It's not the traditional turquoise, but a light pink.
In particular, the string of jade beads worn on the right wrists of these brothers fully demonstrates this characteristic.
A trace of bright red appears in the overall pink jade beads, which looks strangely beautiful.
Of course, what Fang Yu felt was not the beauty contained in it, but the cold air and a touch of resentment.
Blood jade.
All jade articles worn by the Yuan brothers are made of blood jade.
It was a long time ago that Fang Yu last saw something like blood jade.
At that time, most of the people who made such jade pendants were related to evil cultivators.
Because the blood used to make blood jade must be fresh and filled with vitality.
In other words, if you want to make blood jade, you have to kill people!
Moreover, during the production process, the person should not die too quickly.
The blood present in the blood jade is condensed blood essence. It takes a living person to drain two-thirds of the blood in his body to make a jade pendant half the size of a palm.
During the production process, various other items can be added and various techniques can be embedded.
The blood jade made has two uses.
The first is to develop in a good direction and retain the most basic function of blood jade, which is to wear it on the body to resist all diseases and nourish one's own spirit with the essence and blood of others.
In this way, people who wear blood jade for a long time can be radiant and energetic for a long time.
The jade articles worn by the Yuan brothers probably have this function.
On the other hand, blood jade will be made into various jade objects, which can be used to harm people without anyone noticing, or they can be directly made into offensive magic weapons.
No matter what the purpose of blood jade is, its production process and final effect all highlight the behavior of benefiting oneself at the expense of others.
Therefore, the Righteous Alliance at that time classified blood jade as a first-level evil object and prohibited anyone from making it.
The Righteous Alliance was still very majestic at the time.
As a result, things like blood jade slowly disappeared from the world.
Fang Yu did not expect that on an occasion like today, he would see an evil object like blood jade again.
