"Subordinate greets Sect Master!"
The next day, Qiu Qianren followed Lin Langtian's instructions before he left. He brought his trusted aide and the ten large ships of the Iron Palm Gang to the pier in the south of River Tomb City. Moreover, they arrived late at night.
There were more than a hundred people on this trip, all of whom were Qiu Qianren's trusted aides. Every one of them was a second-rate expert or above. They were all elites in the Iron Palm Gang. Of course, they were also natives, which was what Lin Langtian regarded as NPCs.
Qiu Qianren's trusted aides of the Iron Palm Gang also knew that Qiu Qianren had become a disciple of the Devil's Doctrine. They all looked at Lin Langtian respectfully.
Now, all the disciples of the Iron Palm Gang were sincerely supporting Lin Langtian. It was fine with Lin Langtian's strength, but yesterday, they had obtained the first six levels of the Demon Sect. This made all of them willing to join the Demon Sect.
Even though Iron Palm was an absolute art, only a few of them could cultivate it. They had only cultivated a high-tier martial art in the martial arts world, Iron Palm. It had yet to reach the level of an absolute art!
However, Lin Langtian's demonic technique was different. It was definitely a martial arts ultimate technique. Moreover, it came with the Great Heaven Net Steps, Dark Yin Palm, and Mahayana Prajna Palm. Which one of them was not much stronger than the Iron Sand Palm that they cultivated?
Therefore, the Iron Palm Gang disciples who were originally bound by some bonds all chose to cultivate mo skills.
Of course, Lin Langtian had also added the Quan Zhen mental cultivation method at the end of the demonic cultivation method. However, this Quan Zhen mental cultivation method stated that it could be cultivated until the sixth level, so no one paid attention to it.
Apart from that, Qiu Qianchi had also followed them. Although Qiu Qianchi was only sixteen or seventeen years old, his martial arts had already reached the first-class realm. He was only second to Qiu Qianren and the few elders under him.
Tianning Temple!
Lin Langtian looked at the thousand-year-old Buddha. This thousand-year-old Buddha did not suffer much damage even after a thousand years. It was already looking down on all living beings because this was not stone, but gold.
This was a golden Buddha statue that was three meters tall. It was not a slim human figure, but a huge Buddha sitting cross-legged. It was at least four to five cubic meters in size. According to the density of gold, one cubic meter was nineteen tons, which meant that it weighed 1.2 million tons.
200,000 jin, 2,000,000 taels of gold, what kind of concept was that?
Especially since this was only the outside. Lin Langtian knew that there was still a large amount of gold inside. This Golden Buddha statue probably did not even amount to one-tenth of it.
"Faction Leader Qiu, what do you think of this Buddha?”
"Buddha? I don't know, but I hope Sect Master can give me some advice!”
Qiu Qianren didn't know what Lin Langtian meant. Besides, he didn't really know much about Buddhism.
The disciples of the Iron Palm Gang did not know why Lin Langtian had secretly gathered them here, and why they were even in this dilapidated temple.
"Hehehe, Faction Leader Qiu, don't just look at the surface. This is actually a golden Buddha statue, but it's just covered with a layer of paint. Moreover, there's a golden underground palace below the Tianning Temple.”
Liancheng Treasure?
Upon hearing Lin Langtian's words, the disciples of the Iron Palm Gang who had come here looked at him in disbelief. They did not expect that the treasure that those people in the pugilistic world risked their lives to pursue was actually beside them.
"Sect Master, are you saying that this is the treasure that the martial arts world has been searching for for many years?”
During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Jing State was also a temporary capital. Unfortunately, Emperor Liang Yuan was not talented enough. After the Jing State was breached, a bloody massacre took place.
After that, it was rumored that all the wealth in the Jing State had been collected and buried somewhere.
Jingzhou was known as the " main road to the seven provinces ", with the Yangtze River in the south, the Han River in the north, Ba and Shu in the west, and Xiang and Yue in the south. At that time, it was the second political center after Jinling, so one could imagine how rich it was.
For example, if all the wealth in Jinling was collected, it would be enough to pile up into a small mountain.
Therefore, for nearly a thousand years, there had been countless pursuers of the Liancheng Treasure House, but it seemed that no one had ever discovered it. Only the Liancheng Secret Art was the key to unlocking the secret of the Liancheng Treasure House.
"Alright, follow me!"
Lin Langtian opened the mechanism to enter the underground palace below. Soon, Qiu Qianren and the disciples looked at the golden palace, their eyes beginning to float.
That was a palace made of gold, with golden pillars and statues. How much gold was there?
"Move all of them to the ships that have been prepared. Remember, use cloth to cover the places where you come into contact with the gold. These gold jewels are coated with poison.”
"I understand!"
Gold, there was too much gold. When the disciples of the Iron Palm Gang heard that they were moving gold and jewelry, how could they refuse? Each and every one of them carried the golden statue that weighed a thousand pounds without feeling tired at all. They were full of motivation.
Lin Langtian found the mechanism that triggered the destruction device and placed a huge stone block on top of the mechanism. After three trips, he finally moved all the gold onto the ship.
Ah!
Puff!
···
Just as all the gold was loaded onto the ship, at least half of the Iron Palm Gang's disciples suddenly started foaming at the mouth and fell to the ground.
Seeing this scene, even Qiu Qianren was shocked. These were his trusted disciples, and every one of them was someone he could trust.
Lin Langtian's speed was also extremely fast. With a series of points on their chests, he sealed their heart meridian acupoints.
"Greed is not enough. I told you not to touch the gold and jewelry in the hall. Did you really think I was scaring you?”
Upon hearing Lin Langtian's words, the disciples who originally thought that Lin Langtian wanted to silence them immediately understood the crux of the matter. Thinking of Lin Langtian's previous reminder, these disciples could not control their greed. Each of them touched a few times and even hid quite a number of gold and jewels.
Even Qiu Qianren was sad when he saw Lin Langtian. At first, he didn't notice it. Now, he also noticed the poison in his palm. Seeing this scene, Lin Langtian sighed.
"Their poison requires a special antidote. I'm not good at this either, but I've sealed your eight extraordinary meridians. The poison won't spread for three days. Qiu Qianren, find someone to deal with it. Remember, I don't want to hear anything about what happened tonight. Otherwise, you'll be begging for death. Similarly, everyone who participated tonight would also receive 100 taels of gold. After that, the Iron Palm Gang would also receive 1 million taels of gold.”
"Sect Master is wise!"
When they heard that each of them could get a hundred taels of gold, they were overjoyed, especially when the Iron Palm Gang would get a share of one million taels of gold. This way, their future would be ten times better.
As for Big Head, they were his subordinates after all, and they were also doing hard labor.
Lin Langtian placed the Buddha directly on the bow of the ship. Adding on the gold in the cabin, ten ships had a larger draft than a ship that transported tens of thousands of kilograms of rice. It was shocking.
Those poisoned disciples were sent to the Jing State for treatment, while the others went along the river to the Han River and entered Xiangyang to transport the gold to the Demon Palace.
Ten days later, when Qiu Qianren brought the gold to the Devil's Doctrine's camp, all the girls in the Devil Palace were so shocked that they were speechless.
It was not that they had never seen money before. They were basically not short of money. Of course, there were one or two girls from ordinary families, but they were also proud people. Previously, they had seen several boxes of gold and jewelry in the ancient tomb.
But now, they were looking at the gold that was washed out from the Yangtze River. The golden bricks and pillars were piled up into a small mountain, and the golden Buddha statue that was completely washed away was even more shocking. The statues of golden dragons, golden scales, and golden cranes were placed in the Demon Palace, adding to the magnificence of the Demon Palace. The boxes of jewelry were shining with a colorful light.
Just in the main hall, it could be described as being as rich as a country.
"Where did all this gold come from? Did he rob the national treasury?"
Sikong Yue looked at the gold in disbelief. Even if they robbed the national treasury, they might not have so much gold, especially that golden Buddha statue. The gold in the national treasury was all official ingots. This was like a treasure!
" Madam, this is the gold that the sect leader asked me to deliver. It's a total of 137 million taels.'
137 million gold!
Even the thirteen women could not believe what they were seeing. More than 100 million taels of gold. This was gold, not silver. It was equivalent to a year's tax in the Nine Provinces!
This was the Nine Provinces that had expanded dozens of times, even hundreds of times. Therefore, the annual tax revenue reached more than 100 million taels of gold. And the population of the nine provinces was over ten billion. If they were to spread it out, each person would only have a little more than a hundred copper coins.
Wealth comparable to a country's wealth meant that one's wealth was comparable to the taxes of the national treasury. How much was a hundred million taels of gold?
For example, the few gods of wealth in the nine provinces were as rich as a country, but many of them were real estate, especially fields and shops. Other than the imperial court and the banks, no one else would be able to produce so much gold, and they had seen it today.
Moreover, the imperial court did not really gather all the wealth together. After all, although there was a lot of money in the national treasury, the imperial court's expenses were even greater. Especially when there were droughts, floods, locust plagues, and epidemic diseases. They didn't need money. Moreover, there were more than ten million soldiers and hundreds of thousands of officials in the country. The salary of the soldiers was a huge burden.
"Who are you?"
Looking at the group of black-clothed Iron Palm Gang disciples, Lin Pinger was not concerned about wealth, but Qiu Qianren's identity.
"As for my exact identity, the sect master said not to reveal my exact identity here. Madam, please forgive me!”
"Where is he?"
"Sect Master only asked me to bring this gold. As for where Sect Master's people are, I don't know.”
"Humph!"
After all, Lin Ping 'er was used to staying in the ancient tomb, so she didn't really like these yellow and white things. As for Lin Langtian, whose whereabouts were erratic, he might have gone off somewhere.
Of course, he was right this time. Lin Langtian was really in the midst of a womanizer, seducing a beautiful woman.
