"How about it? Take back whatever you choose!" Wanyan Lu said generously.
Zhang Rongfang cupped his hands towards her.
"Then I won't be polite."
He stood up and started from the leftmost tray.
The attribute bar in his eyes kept flashing, and lines of information appeared.
The first one is a metal semicircle-like part with tiny spikes and protrusions on the inside.
'Intuition warning: This unknown fragment once belonged to a huge structure. After gathering it together, you may be able to discover something from the outside pictures and texts.'
Zhang Rongfang continued to look at the second one.
The reminders of intuitive warnings are also similar, and there is not much useful information.
He walked along the pallets one by one, and finally saw the first piece that was a set of parts for the Taoist statue he had before.
This is a torso-like part.
'Intuition warning: This object and the parts collected before seem to be a set... Maybe you can take it back and try to assemble it.'
Zhang Rongfang's heart moved, and he got the same prompt as last time.
This intuitive warning seemed to clarify his intuition.
In fact, even without this reminder, he had a vague feeling when he looked at these parts.
It’s not easy to feel that these things may hide secrets.
Walking along the way, he did not choose anything else, but first selected all the parts related to the statue.
Soon, a total of sixteen pieces were picked out. In addition, four large pieces were selected.
He thought that if he found the big ones first, maybe it would take much less time to gather them all later.
"Zhang Ying, you collected these, do you plan to take them back and reassemble them?" Wanyan Lu suddenly said behind him.
"Yeah, what's the matter? Is there a problem?" Zhang Rongfang heard something vaguely wrong in her tone and turned around to ask.
"Well, this thing is actually a bit sensitive. If you want to collect it all, it's best not to let people discover it." Wanyan Lu warned. "The law of the Lingting Court stipulates that people other than spiritual people are not allowed to Collect this."
"It is not allowed to collect outside the spirits? What's the reason?" Zhang Rongfang asked in surprise.
"I don't know either. But... the relevant content of this law has always been very strict. You'd better be careful." Wanyan Lu reminded.
"Okay." Zhang Rongfang noted in his mind that he was showing his feelings to the other party.
If she hadn't reminded him, he might still be buying parts in a stupid and honest way.
But now that I am mentally prepared, I know that this is illegal.
After selecting twenty parts, he had them packed in snakeskin bags and prepared to take them back for further study.
After that, he trained Wanyan Lu to lose weight for a while,
It was almost afternoon before Zhang Rongfang returned to his home on time.
As soon as he got home, he quickly took out the small box from the drawer.
Open the lock of the box and there is the fragment of the statue inside.
Then, put all the fragments of parts that I got from Wanyan Road today on a large piece of cloth.
After cleaning one by one, wipe dry.
Finally he started trying to assemble all the parts together.
There are seventeen parts in total, and they appear to be completely broken, with signs of breakage visible in some places.
Zhang Rongfang found some rice paste, applied it, and assembled it piece by piece.
From about two o'clock in the afternoon, he was busy until about seven o'clock in the evening when he went to work.
And finally, most of the statue was assembled.
"Still missing parts."
Standing in the courtyard.
Zhang Rongfang frowned slightly as he looked at the statues that had been spliced together.
This statue looks like a Taoist sitting cross-legged and meditating.
The person holds Ruyi in his hand, wears a crown of petals on his head, wears a five-color rosy robe, and has a light yellow round light radiating from behind.
There is a golden bead as round as an eyeball hanging on the chest.
But at this time, half of the beads were missing, and the Taoist's head was also missing.
"There are at least two key points missing. The head and the golden beads."
Although Zhang Rongfang had anticipated that there might be some mismatches, it was only after this happened that he felt troubled.
Does anyone know where this statue was found?
The remaining parts are lost in this vast sea of people, who knows where.
He opened the properties bar again.
'Intuition warning: This is a statue with some parts missing, and the missing parts seem to be key parts. After gathering them all, you may try to worship it...'
After pondering for a moment, Zhang Rongfang laid the statue down horizontally, hid it in the closet in the room, and covered it with a large piece of cloth.
The assembled statue is more than half a meter high, which is not big, but it is already quite eye-catching.
After going out to work in the Yamen, Zhang Rongfang sent another letter to Qingsu, asking her to bring over all the information related to the parts he had collected.
After the night patrol.
When we returned to our yard, Qingsu was already waiting in the corner.
Ever since he impressed this woman last time, Zhang Rongfang also saw that Qing Su was following him wholeheartedly.
Especially after the subsequent Black Ten Sect incident, Qing Su respected and awed him even more.
The drizzle continued to fall. Qingsu held a small red umbrella, wore a bamboo hat and a black leather raincoat, and stood motionless in the shadows, as if she didn't exist.
She didn't take a step forward until Zhang Rongfang entered.
"Sir, there is a lot of missing information you want.
Gu Li
The files in the building are now concentrated in Pingya Temple as a stronghold according to your instructions. I have been rummaging there for a long time, and these are all."
She handed out something wrapped in oil paper from under her raincoat.
Zhang Rongfang took it.
"Thank you for your hard work. Speaking of which, I haven't asked you about your situation yet. What are you doing in Tan Yang now?"
"Thank you for your concern, sir. My subordinate, Tan Yang, has opened a clothing store in Tan Yang. His family has been in business for generations, and his main business is clothing dyeing." Qing Su replied.
"If you do things for me, I will not treat you badly. If you have any trouble, you can come to me if you really can't do it." Zhang Rongfang said softly.
Qingsu is quite easy to use, obedient, capable, and has pretty good martial arts. He is still a little genius, and he has a bright future.
"Thank you, Sir!" Qing Su's heart moved, and her eyes flashed with joy. She had worked hard for so long, and she was completely convinced by Zhang Rongfang, hoping to follow him closely.
Now it has finally been recognized by Zhang Rongfang.
She has always believed that Zhang Rongfang is definitely not a thing in the pool. A mere eagle level will never be his end.
At that moment, she asked Zhang Rongfang about some doubts about martial arts.
What surprised her was that even without practicing Jin Peng Secret Records, Zhang Rongfang was able to answer some critical questions.
Especially on breaking the limits of the body, he has very profound insights.
This has benefited Qingsu a lot.
Half an hour later, after sending Qing Su away, Zhang Rongfang let out a breath. He went back to his room, lit the lamp, and opened the oil paper bag.
There were old, somewhat shabby books inside. Some of them were not even books at all, but rather manuscript-like volumes.
He picked up the most superficial one.
"A Brief Analysis of Spiritual Religion", author: Zhang Zongxi.
Open from the first page, which is full of general introductions to the mainstream religions of Daling.
It also includes some religious-related images of gods.
Zhang Rongfang flipped through it and found that there was not much content in the book, and the key parts seemed to have been torn up.
In the Taoist religion, he rummaged through the pictures of statues, but he never found the characteristics of the statue he assembled.
Finally, at the end of the book, there is a page where the author mentions something about fragments of metal parts.
‘Religious divine pictures are divided into yang pictures and yin pictures. The records in this notebook are all yang pictures.
The rumored dark pictures were strictly prohibited by the Lingting Court for various reasons. It is not convenient to mention them here.’
"Yang picture, Yin picture?" Zhang Rongfang narrowed his eyes.
The Taoist Sect enshrines the Heavenly Lord Yujing Hanshi, who has ninety-nine sects of gods under him. It is said that Liu Derong, the founder of the sect, was able to pass on the scriptures because the Heavenly Lord incarnated and rode a bull through his house.
But no one knows the exact authenticity.
He put down the book and picked up the subsequent volumes to read.
Among them, most of the copper-colored parts were strictly prohibited by the imperial court, and only a few words were mentioned.
The most common mention is that these statues are mostly worshiped by branches that split off after internal struggles within the sect.
But later, the branches declined, the idols were broken, and it was completely lost.
Suddenly Zhang Rongfang thought of a doubt.
"I remember...it seems that the full name of my Taoist sect has a real character...should the full name be the True Taoist sect?"
Since there is truth, there is also falsehood.
When there is something false first, you will emphasize that you are true.
Zhang Rongfang made a note in his mind and planned to go to the Taoist Palace to inquire about it later.
As he flipped through the books one after another, he finally found a clue in an intelligence record book inside the Golden Wing Tower.
'After investigation, the main sources of copper-colored parts are mostly from tombs, underground, abandoned Taoist palaces and Buddhist temples, and individual collectors.'
"Tomb?" Zhang Rongfang suddenly thought that since he saw so many copper-colored fragments at the exchange meeting, the people at the exchange meeting should know where he got the incomplete statue of the god.
He remembered that the auctioneer mentioned that the statue was obtained from a certain tomb.
At the moment, he took out a piece of tissue paper and carefully wrote the unique code of the Golden Wing Tower.
Then he went out to the yard, took out a black incense stick from his sleeve, and lit it with an oil lamp.
The fresh and strange aroma wafts out from the incense head, slowly spreading towards the night sky above.
Not long after.
A red bird, the size of a sparrow, quietly flew out of the night sky and landed on his shoulder.
Zhang Rongfang stuffed the written code paper into the small bamboo tube, stuffed the stopper, and tied it to the bird's leg.
Feed it some more wheat and rice.
"Go ahead."
Without saying a word, the red bird flapped its wings and flew away, disappearing into the night sky in a blink of an eye, at an extremely fast speed.
With an intelligence organization as big as Golden Wing Tower, Zhang Rongfang would naturally not do it himself and investigate everywhere.
After doing this, he only needs to wait for the news.
With the intelligence capabilities of the main members of the Golden Wing Tower, they will be able to respond quickly.
If that doesn't work, start the auxiliary building again.
However, the auxiliary building requires additional payment. After all, the members of the auxiliary building are temporary and do not enjoy the various benefits of the main building.
After releasing the birds, Zhang Rongfang simply didn't go back to his room. He just opened the property bar in the courtyard.
He has already accumulated a few attribute points.
But unfortunately, it seems that more than a little bit is needed from the foundation building stage to the elixir forming stage of Guanxu Gong.
This level of realm has a large span and is likely to require two points.
As for the second attribute, calculating the time, it is estimated to be within these two days.
Bang!!
Suddenly there was a sound of fireworks exploding in the distance from the city.
