After Lorna got Yan Zhan, she really wanted Gu He to activate it into a magical object immediately.
However, Gu He's holy water energy is only 30%. Yan Zhan is a sword with silver capital, and such a meaningful Muramasa Demon Sword is of course not something to be messed with. It is safer to activate it when there is 100% holy water.
.
There is also a trouser baby, and his trouser baby is still lined up.
However, Da Bei Bei hasn't gotten any new recipes recently, and the effect of Bei Bei Soup has also been reduced.
Two days later, by the early morning when they set out to go shopping on Dongtu Street, Gu He's holy water had only risen to 40%.
On the street outside Itada's apartment, a black heavily equipped off-road vehicle was parked on the roadside.
"Why is it so slow?" At this time, Lorna, who was sitting in the driver's seat, asked, "I told you to drink more soda."
"It doesn't make any difference whether you drink more soda or hot water. There is a threshold problem."
Gu He wears a cyan winter sportswear with the word "东TU" printed on it in white. He is going to Dongtu Street. This look is really the most suitable.
Holding the big cup with the voice function turned off, he got into the passenger seat of Daniu Niu, with Pandora sitting in the back seat.
Pandora wore a metal hollow mask and a one-piece striped suit, but she still didn't speak much.
As soon as he got into the car, the off-road vehicle made a threatening banging sound, and it has been hostile to him from that day until now.
"Lorna, you have to take care of this car..." Gu He muttered and quickly fastened his seat belt, fearing that the door would suddenly open automatically and the car body would swing automatically, throwing him out. If the wheels turned again, he would be thrown out.
Press and that's it.
"What are you afraid of? It only hits the bastard." Lorna patted the steering wheel and looked at him, "You're not that, are you?"
"I feel that in the eyes of Daniel, there is no one who is not a bastard."
Gu He only saw Lorna's exoskeleton prosthetic device placed next to the driver's seat, as well as the purple-handled and black-sheathed samurai sword. They were all accessible at any time and ready to go into battle... He had better say less.
"Humans, you bastards with no traffic rules." Da Niu Niu roared.
"You are the one with road rage." Lorna turned the steering wheel angrily and started driving towards the east.
It's not far from Kabukicho to Higashi Dojie, there is a garden area across it.
But after arriving in Liuguang City, this was the first time that Gu He had set foot in that area, which was dominated by Dongtu people. He couldn't help but feel a little expectant and a little nervous. After all, Lao Fan seemed to be full of enemies on the streets there.
In the past two days, he has been trying to verify the authenticity of this matter and get more information.
He asked Lao Fan again, but when he asked now, Lao Fan became angry and asked Lao Cai. Lao Cai said again, "It's all over."
"Lorna, have you asked about Lao Fan?" Gu He looked out the car window at the busy early morning streets, "Don't let us go into Dongtu Street, and the people from the Qingyun Gang will look for trouble."
"That's not impossible." Lorna said while driving, "Old Fan must have had a prosperous life before. I heard that the Qingyun Gang's Guandi Temple murder case really happened, and it was quite a big fuss back then.
"But there are a lot of sect secrets involved, and we haven't figured out how much Lao Fan and Lao Cai were involved."
When Gu He heard this, he felt a little creepy. Oh my god, slaughtering a hundred people with blood? It's really not like Lao Fan. It's really not like that.
The two chatted about this and that, Pandora occasionally chatted with him, and Danniu Niu gradually drove out of Shouhui Street and entered the Garden District from the expressway.
Those bustling and neat streets appear far around.
Winter also means that the year is coming to an end and the New Year is coming. In any culture or city, the New Year will be accompanied by grand festivals.
Unlike street dogs who live precariously for just two drinks before going to sing karaoke, there are lively celebrations in the Garden District, and every household and shop has begun to decorate the house with lights and colors to create a festive atmosphere.
Gu He saw some Christmas trees from the Kadomatsu and Tenjin sect cultures. People in this area will have a warm winter.
Pandora was also looking outside at this time. Most of her childhood memories were in the garden area, her former "home".
"It's almost the Chinese New Year," Gu He said. There was only one calendar in Liuguang City.
"It's just a Chinese New Year...it's just another day." Lorna said in a nonchalant tone.
After passing through the garden area, the off-road vehicle drove toward the northeast, passed the old "Shenlong Bridge" in front of a river, and then officially entered the scope of Dongtu Street.
Gu He looked ahead through the windshield, and streets and buildings with an oriental flavor gradually came into view.
The streets are not as cramped as the Walled Area, but they are not as wide as the Garden District. There are people coming and going on the streets, and it seems to be more lively than Kabukicho. There are some low-rise buildings and high-rise buildings on both sides.
Some are of Eastern classical architectural style, with raised roof corners, ridged and angular roofs, and most of them have flowing tones.
There is no gang that has the final say on the streets here. At first glance, the people walking on the street are not as strangely dressed as in Kabukicho, but they are also all kinds of people. There are more Taoists and monks.
The noisy human voices with some Dongtu dialect accents mixed into the sound waves, coming in through the open car window, making a buzzing sound.
There was a Taoist priest running a fortune-telling stall over there, stroking a long white beard and flying a flag with a sign that read "Iron Plate Divine Fortune Telling".
Lao Cai reminded them that there are good and bad people in Dongtu Street, there are countless swindlers in the green forest, and eight out of ten Feng Shui gossips like this are good ones.
They should not go into fortune-telling randomly, but should be wary of being "struck away" or "made a treasure" by others.
"A group of people, a sect, can set up a trap around you and deceive you." Lao Cai said at that time, "Be careful of that Wenhe Museum, don't just give millions to others without finding a connection, then...
You might as well give it to me."
A group of monks in yellow cassocks were sitting on the street with their hands clasped together and muttering some scriptures.
Not far away, there was another group of jugglers performing acrobatics.
They were probably some sideline professionals, and the huge stone on their chest was actually someone pressing a huge stone, and it was smashed into pieces by a shell warrior with a huge hammer, which attracted excited cheers from the passers-by who were watching.
"There is a lot of fun in Dongtu Street." Lorna said, but in fact she didn't come here much.
There are many entertainment venues here, including casinos, boxing gyms, striptease clubs also called brothels, all of them are available.
Gu He also saw the neon signs of some medical clinics, including a skyscraper called "Longteng Medical". It was the top medical center in the entire Flowing Light City, and of course it did not serve the streets.
Dongtu people are good at neurosurgery. With such a reputation and rumors of being a master of food preparation, the building does not take much credit. It mainly depends on the small medical clinics, underground clinics and even the cheap street clinics everywhere on the streets.
Beat the master.
The food-preparation school and the medical school, whether it is precision surgery or mixing herbs, ancient prescriptions, golden elixirs, etc., are very popular here.
Lao Cai said that most of them are liars, but there are also people who are truly capable, such as Lao Cai.
"The restaurants on Dongtu Street are probably the most in the city." Lorna added, "They are guaranteed to be delicious."
"How about we go and taste it today." Gu He had already swallowed his saliva, "Maybe we can get a boost of energy."
The off-road vehicle drove all the way through the lively streets. There were indeed more restaurants in the shops on both sides than in other districts. Eastern cuisine is famous, and every day a large number of customers came in from outside districts and even the wilderness just to have a meal.
Those restaurant neon signs shine brightly during the day:
“Authentic soup dumplings”, “Uncle Yang’s fried rice”, “Three bowls are enough”, “Spicier flavor”, “Great store celebration discount”
Gu He had been eating Kabukicho dishes for several months, and Lao Fan usually didn't cook many local dishes. Now he looked at these signs and saw the customers coming to these shops like clouds, and could vaguely see traces of the food inside through the transparent glass.
Really greedy.
"Let's go to the Wenhe Museum first and see what happens." Lorna said teasingly, "Let's see if it's Po's job."
The so-called "being a treasure" means that a group of people join forces to set up a trap to defraud people of money, and they also deceive the other party so that they dare not say anything. If people find out, they will be in trouble or lose face, and they will have to suffer the consequences.
"Well, that's probably not the case..." Gu He said, "Lu Qi is raising pigs, and he didn't know we would go to the muddy pond."
"What if Lu Qi had planned and squatted there a long time ago, thinking about getting a good reputation and then asking Hong Yu Tuan for funds, but we happened to take a shortcut. This kind of thing can happen." Lorna said, "You have to remind me later.
Red-haired Liz, be careful about this."
"She has the same oath sense, so there should be no problem." Gu He thought, "There is also Jianbao. Jianbao keeps a close eye on her."
"It's hard to say, Elizabeth Sterling seems like the kind of person who would be called a treasure." Lorna sneered, "Being deceived by some magic trick is very likely to happen to her.
things."
Gu He was silent. Indeed, he would like to remind Goose again that if there is any matter, it is best to discuss it. It would be better to listen to Jian Bao more...
Dongtu Street is a large area with criss-crossing streets and is divided into many different areas. The streets are controlled by different Green Forest gangs.
The Wenhe Museum is located on Mingxing Street in the East District. It is the territory of the Jiliu Gang, but the scholars are also very influential.
The street scene of Mingxing Street is not much different from what they saw along the way, except that there are more bookstores, teahouses and libraries with the sound of reading on the street. The influence of the Theological School here is obvious.
"We're here, right there." At this time, Lorna slowly stopped the car and parked it on the side of the road.
Gu He only saw a small area of antique buildings between the shops on the street where pedestrians were coming and going. Because there was a wall outside, he could only see the tiled roofs and eaves on the top of the building. He heard the clear voices of the students inside.
The sound of reading.
The three of them got off the off-road vehicle. Lorna only took Yan Zhan with her, not the prosthetic body. After all, this was really a visit.
There is a wooden sign "Wenhe Pavilion" hanging at the entrance of the courtyard. There are no stone lions, but there are two red lanterns.
The door is not closed, but there is no guard either. Waiters and other personnel are waiting to receive visitors.
Gu He was thinking whether to go up and knock on the door, or to find where the doorbell was...
"Hey, is there anyone there?" Lorna shouted inside at the top of her lungs, "We are Lu Qi's friends!"
"Coming, coming!" Before the sound of reading inside stopped, someone responded, followed by the sound of footsteps, walking very fast.
The three of them saw a young man approaching. He was about sixteen or seventeen years old. He was neither tall nor short, but rather thin. He was wearing a robe and trousers commonly worn by Eastern scholars, but his body was covered with various accessories.
, and they all seem to be religious ornaments.
Hanging around his neck is a string of Buddhist beads, a cross, a yellow paper talisman, and a lucky Pixiu pendant.
He also wears some bracelets on his hands, including voodoo straw rope bracelets, shamanistic animal bone bracelets, tarot card patterns embroidered on the two sleeves, and other miscellaneous things, and even low-tech items.
The symbol of the clan.
The young man's appearance made the three of them startled. This was indeed different from the scholar they knew.
The reason why Pandora was stunned was that the cloth robe also had the symbol of the Doomsday Tribe's "Buck the Almighty" with his hands spread out to embrace the world, but she knew that her tribe did not promote this at all in the basement.
Gu He was shocked in his heart. Oh my god, you didn't go the wrong way. Isn't Wenhe Pavilion a study place?
Isn't it said that "The child is silent and has strange power and chaos"? This means that the whole body is full of strange power and chaos.
"Hello, you three, I'm Lu Jiu." The young man was also looking at them, and a smile appeared on the face of the handsome young man, "Senior brother Lu Qi called back when he was walking around the walled city and said that there would be distinguished guests visiting, namely the three of them.
Come on, please come in!"
At that moment, Gu He took out the business card given by Lu Qi and handed it over. Lu Jiu looked at it and made sure.
Master Wei went out for a walk, so he entertained them first.
Naturally, they would not ask about Huwei Escort Agency right away. They would at least get to know each other first and see if they can be trusted.
The three of them followed the young man into the courtyard of Wenhe Pavilion, where he introduced the place to them enthusiastically.
Wenhe Hall has a main hall for entertaining guests and discussing affairs, several dormitories, a library, and a reading hall.
"That's the reading hall over there, and everyone is the master's disciples." Lu Jiu said.
The three people passed by and took a look, not going in to disturb the students. They saw several rows of tables and chairs inside, making it look like a small college. The students were studying, all of them half a year younger than Lu Jiu.
Lu Jiu said that none of them are extraordinary, so there is no Lu Shi yet.
"Not all of them have extraordinary talents, but educating people is secondary to their extraordinary talents." Lu Jiu said leisurely.
Although this guy is young, he already looks like Lu Qi when he throws up his schoolbag.
However, the two brothers obviously have very different temperaments. When Lu Jiu walks around, the religious ornaments all over his neck swing and jingle, which is considered special among street dogs. I don’t know if he is considered a street dog.
.
Lorna couldn't hold it back anymore, "Lu Jiu, what do you believe in this?"
"Oh?" Lu Jiu lowered his head and looked at all his trades, "Believe in everything."
"You are so dishonest." Lorna was amused, but she really couldn't understand, "Just talking about the cross, doesn't the Celestial Religion require that if you believe in God, you can only believe in God? What's going on with you?"
"I am sincere, the sky is full of gods, Buddhas and bodhisattvas, who knows which ones are there and which ones are not."
Lu Jiu spoke calmly, plausibly and confidently:
"I hang them all on my body and give them all a try. I will worship this one today and that one tomorrow to see who will bless me. Whoever blesses me, I will trust him more. If he doesn't bless me, I will throw it away. A few of them may
I don’t know, but this is exactly the Eastern culture.”
"Uh..." Gu He was wearing a big sportswear with the word "东TU" in it, but when he thought about it, it seemed to make sense.
He scratched his head and said, "But aren't you a scholar? You don't have any words to do it, but you have strange powers and chaos..."
Looking at the other party's magic weapon attire, he was really a little afraid of being treated as a treasure. If Lu Jiu later said that a god appeared and wanted to raise money to do things and get rich, that would be a big deal.
"If you can't serve people, how can you serve ghosts? If you don't know life, how can you know death?" Lu Jiu immediately took the words and threw away a bunch of schoolbags: "Also he said, the master said nothing about the strange power and confuses the gods. He also said, respect the ghosts and gods and stay away.
Of."
Lu Jiu took two steps and continued to throw: "Xia Dao respects orders, respects ghosts and keeps away from gods. People in Yin respect gods, lead the people to serve gods, ghosts first and then etiquette. People in Zhou respect etiquette and give, respect gods and keep away from ghosts."
"Book of Rites"
"'Respecting etiquette but giving favor' means respecting the method of exchange of etiquette and valuing favors. "Book of Rites Justice""
"...What on earth are you talking about?" Lorna's head was spinning as she heard the laurel crown becoming a tight hoop, "Stop reading it."
She looked at Gu He. He is from Dongtu. He has read some books. Can he understand it? Can you explain it?
Gu He just rolled his eyes and couldn't say, "Oh my God, who knows about this..."
Only then did Lu Jiu stop. The young man looked a little embarrassed and explained to them:
"In other words, businessmen put gods and ghosts first and sacrifice their lives just to serve ghosts and gods. This is not good;
"People in Zhou also worshiped ghosts and gods, but this was a kind of respect for etiquette and giving. Sacrifice was performed pragmatically to obtain temporal benefits, unite the people, and enable everyone to live a good life in a polite and orderly manner, rather than asking gods and ghosts for anything.
After death, there will be blessings in the next life, and we will not sacrifice living people to engage in such things, but stay away from them out of respect."
"So, Brother Gu, you have misunderstood. Our theory of teaching comes from the Zhou rites. Confucius wanted to restore the Zhou rites throughout his life to bring peace to the world. He did not talk about strange powers and chaotic gods because he did not believe in ghosts and gods. He wanted the people not to be addicted to this way.
, let alone join the witchcraft cult, otherwise it will only delay things. Worshiping ghosts and gods should be left to scholars to perform orthodox sacrifices.
“Educators have the responsibility to take the lead in offering sacrifices to the people, offering sacrifices to heaven, earth, and ancestors.
"I am from the teaching profession, but unlike senior brother Lu Qi, I am not from the transformation sect, but from the sacrificial sect."
Lu Jiu said as he raised his hands and cupped his fists and saluted the sky, the religious ornaments around his neck clanking.
Lorna still didn't understand much, but Gu He understood about 70% to 80%, and couldn't help but tell the young man: "I've learned a lesson..."
"It's just a little heavy." Lu Jiu grabbed the Pixiu pendant around his neck, took it off and put it in his pocket.
"I don't want this anymore. It has no spiritual power. I promised to offer it as a sacrifice and it would bring me wealth. But I just lost my money yesterday. Today, a friend came from afar. Isn't it a waste of money? I want to take you out for a meal."
Yes, haha."
"You're being too practical," Lorna said. "Damn it, I like it."
Gu He really understood now. Indeed, this was indeed Eastern culture.
"The people are the most noble, the country is second, and the king is the least." Lu Jiu started to read again, "That's why the people of Qiu become the emperor, the emperor becomes the princes, and the princes become great officials. When the princes threaten the country, they will change.
"After the sacrifice is completed, the rice is abundant and clean, and the ancestors are worshiped in time, but there is a drought and the water overflows, it will be replaced by the Sheji."
Gu He was familiar with the first sentence, but not so much with the rest...
"Can you speak plainly?" Lorna started to look a little irritable again, "You really seem to be carrying out a mental attack."
"I'm sorry, please be careful next time." Lu Jiu raised his face and explained seriously:
"The people are the most important, the country and the gods are second, and the people in power are the last. If those in power endanger the country and the country, then replace them; if there is no problem with the people offering sacrifices, but the gods are not powerful, then replace the gods. If you don't believe me,
Come on, get out!"
"Then do you want to change the bank?" Pandora suddenly asked.
"It's time to get out." Lu Jiu said with righteous indignation, "There is no need to hide it, our Wenhe Museum has always had this attitude."
When everyone looked at the religious ornaments on Lu Jiu's neck, they suddenly felt much more pleasing to the eye.
Compared to Lu Qi's stability, this Xiao Jiu is really young and energetic.
In the Fourth Age, the Eastern Land was dominated by the Theological School.
The vocational department of the enlightenment family includes the transformation sect, the martial arts sect, and the sacrificial sect.
"Why can't you say these words?" Lorna looked at Gu He, who was still wearing Dongtu sportswear.
"Well, maybe it's because I'm surrounded by bad friends..." Gu He said.
Lorna stared and pushed his head hard, "I'm really wronging you."
Lu Jiuzheng was a little confused about how to answer the question. Should he talk about "Three friends who benefit and lose three friends"? Pandora said: "Don't worry about them, it has nothing to do with us."
