I'm the one running the game

Chapter 214 How can the statue of the founder be... paid more, that's impossible!

"Master, if His Royal Highness the King of Yan continues to dig like this, I'm afraid we won't even have a place to live." An elder of the Vajra Sect said with a bitter face.

Jabar glanced at him and said slowly: "It's okay, we'll rebuild it next time."

Lu Xingshi gave money, and he gave a lot of money. Not to mention demolishing the Vajra Sect, even the base can be demolished.

"If you really have nothing to do, you can practice the "Vajra Wrath" completed by His Royal Highness the King of Yan, don't just wander around in front of me." Jabar said with disdain.

At first, he was indeed surprised and dissatisfied with the content of Lu Xingshi's completion of the "Vajra Wrath". He thought it would be a mysterious secret book, and even thought that Lu Xingshi was perfunctory.

But soon he became more and more shocked. It turned out that there was something wrong with their foundation. If they continued to practice, they would definitely die.

Jabar quickly thought of several elders in his own sect who had died suddenly for no reason. Each of them had practiced "Vajra Wrath" to a very high level.

He had been furious about this before, but now he thought that maybe they did not die by accident, but by inheritance defects.

He naturally began to practice the completed skills. After practicing, he felt comfortable. After practicing the missed parts again, he felt refreshed all of a sudden.

After this incident, Jabar saw the strength of Lu Xingshi. The improvement given to their Vajra Sect may not be the strongest, but it is definitely the most suitable.

Therefore, he was also convinced by Lu Xingshi, and he didn't know how to lick his knees after he was given so much money.

"Master, you have changed. In the past, you were known as the toughest man in the Western Regions." The elder of the Vajra Sect said with a sense of resentment.

"Yesterday, His Royal Highness Prince Yan gave me a silver note of 100,000 taels when he demolished the Sutra Library."

"The day before yesterday, His Royal Highness Prince Yan gave me a silver note of 150,000 taels when he demolished the main hall."

"The day before yesterday, His Royal Highness Prince Yan..." Jabar counted on his fingers and calculated with the elder of the Vajra Sect how much money Lu Xingshi had given him in these days.

The elder of the Vajra Sect was completely soft. If it were him, Lu Xingshi would have to smile behind Lu Xingshi even if he demolished his house.

"Well, Your Highness is indeed generous. I'm not saying anything about you, Master, you are too hard-headed. You have to be soft when you need to be soft."

"Let's put it this way. The compensation from the Prince Yan should not have been paid today. I'll wait. Master, you can go and do whatever you want first." The elder of the Vajra Sect felt that if the Master could do it, why couldn't he do it.

According to the rules, today's demolition was the ancestral temple. I won't say much, at least 500,000 taels.

"I have the silver note of one million taels in my hand. I will ask someone to move the tablet of the ancestors from the ancestral hall later."

"After the King of Yan finishes his work, we will build a more magnificent ancestral hall for the ancestors. Now we have to let the ancestors suffer for a while." Jabar said faintly.

If the money is enough, let alone the ancestral hall, it will be no problem for them to move the graves of the ancestors.

Anyway, the ancestors are lying in the coffins, so it doesn't matter where they live for the time being.

When the elder of the Vajra Sect heard this, his eyes popped out. How can you be so quick, old man? The ancestral hall hasn't been demolished yet, and you have already got the money.

It can only be said that he is worthy of being the head of the sect. He is an elder who can't compare with the other party.

One hundred thousand or one hundred and fifty thousand is also a large number in the Central Plains, not to mention one million directly.

Even in the Central Plains, the underlying currency is still mainly copper coins, and silver is mainly used for bulk transactions.

Not to mention the Vajra Sect in the Western Regions. Even though it is a large sect, it cannot compare with the second-rate sects in the Central Plains in terms of economy.

The Central Plains is not rich for nothing.

Even though Langya Pavilion is doing so well, Murong Xuan has no shortage of money to spend.

Of course, that is because Murong Xuan does not start a business. If it were other sects, the income would be high but the expenditure would also be high. Starting a business and relying on parents are two different types of wealth expenditures. Especially since Murong Xuan is a rich second generation and once worked for the court, he is also a person who does not lack money.

The income of the Vajra Sect in the Western Regions is average, but the expenditure is not small, otherwise it would not be possible to take a fancy to such a source of income as Heilin Village.

"Where should the tablet of the ancestor be placed?" asked the elder of the Vajra Sect.

"Let's put it in the main hall that His Royal Highness the King of Yan demolished yesterday. He should not demolish it again. It is just right for the ancestors to live in." Jabar chose a place with a very good geographical location. It may be a little broken, but it's okay. Anyway, the dead can't talk.

The elder of the Vajra Sect wanted to refute, but after thinking about it, he realized that the headmaster was right. If it was placed somewhere else, it would have to be replaced again next time it was demolished. It would be better to do it all at once.

"Then should we hire some craftsmen to slightly repair the main hall so that the tablet can be placed in it." The elder of the Vajra Sect said.

"Well... let's talk about it later." Jabbar thought that if Lu Xingshi suddenly got addicted to demolishing things, what should he do? Ask Lu Xingshi for money again? I'm afraid it won't work.

Jabbar was afraid that the elder would continue to ask questions, so he sent him away with a very perfunctory reason, and he also went to the ancestral temple.

This time he didn't demolish the temple, but stared at the statue of the founder in the center.

But in Jabbar's eyes, it seemed more like he was going to start demolishing it from somewhere.

"How long has this statue been in your house?" Lu Xingshi also noticed Jabbar's arrival, so he asked.

He found that the production process and carving techniques of this statue were very similar to those in the cave before.

To be honest, the monster statue in the cave was the work of the master, while the statue of the founder was the work of the disciple.

"This was cast by the second-generation ancestor back then." Jabar had some impression, but it was too long ago.

Lu Xingshi's eyes fell on the portrait of the second-generation ancestor, who was a burly middle-aged man with a baby face, with a handsome face and a strong back.

'So the one in the cave is the first-generation ancestor of the Vajra Sect? ' Lu Xingshi couldn't help but think of this.

Through bone comparison, Lu Xingshi can determine that the skeleton in the cave is very similar to the skeleton of this stone sculpture.

"Did your highness gain anything?" Jabar asked hurriedly.

"A little, but it's a pity that you don't have any records, and there are only some stories left about these two ancestors." Lu Xingshi sighed. What kind of history books does a Jianghu sect need? Therefore, there are only the general stories of the ancestors' hard struggle, and it is almost like a fairy tale. There is no effective clue at all.

"Then I wonder if Your Highness needs any help from us?" Jabar was quite surprised.

"The portrait of the second generation ancestor was painted by the third generation ancestor, right?" Lu Xingshi asked. Obviously, the third generation disciples did not learn carving.

"No, it was the painter who was invited." Jabar replied.

"That is to say, from the third generation onwards, you started to use the spirit tablet." Lu Xingshi looked at the tablets of other ancestors. Only the first and second generations were special, one with a statue and the other with a portrait.

As the second generation was painted by a painter, Lu Xingshi also checked and found no clues.

So if he needs something, it is most likely on this statue.

"Yes, Your Highness." Jabar hurriedly responded.

"Do you mind if I do something with this statue?" Lu Xingshi asked.

"Please." Jabar had received the money, so he would not stop Lu Xingshi from doing it.

Lu Xingshi stretched out his hand to lift the statue up. Through the area ratio and mathematical calculations in his mind, he quickly came to a conclusion.

That is, this statue is lighter.

According to his calculations, the weight of the statue is reduced by one third.

Of course, Jabbar and others could not have noticed it. Who would lift the statue of the ancestor for no reason?

If the world had not revived, even a master figure would not be able to lift such a large statue.

Even if the weight was one-third less than the original volume, it was still carved from a large piece of stone.

Seeing that Lu Xingshi lifted it with his bare hands, Jabbar's eyes widened. You are too outrageous. You lifted such a large statue with the base, and you did it with one hand.

Lu Xingshi quickly put the statue down, and then said: "The statue is one-third lighter. I want to disassemble the statue and take a look. Master, look..."

After all, he is the ancestor of others, and the founder of the sect. If he wants to do it, he must ask Jabbar's opinion.

If it doesn't work, add money until the other party agrees.

Because the relationship between the two sides has become friendly now, Lu Xingshi can't do it directly. Of course, it would be best if he can solve this matter with money.

"This... Your Highness, please." Jabar hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed. He actually didn't expect that Lu Xingshi would even tear down the stone statue.

"Don't worry, after I tear it down, I will carve a new one for you, and it will be exactly the same."

"But you have to find a way to get the stone. I'm not in Dongling now, so I can't find it."

"If you can't find the stone, wait until I return to Dongling to carve it, and then ask someone to transport it to you." Lu Xingshi was still very reasonable when facing friendly forces and friendly units.

He also knew that his behavior was actually equivalent to digging up someone's ancestral grave.

It was indeed not good. The other party was willing to let him tear it down, which was already very difficult.

"Your Highness is polite. I'll take care of the stone." Jabar was also relieved. He thought he would completely lose his ancestor, but he had never heard that Lu Xingshi could carve. Thinking of this, he became uneasy again.

Lu Xingshi also saw the other party's worry: "Don't worry, I still have a photographic memory. If it really doesn't work, I will draw it for you and then find a stonemason to carve it for you."

He has many abilities. Jabbar has only been in contact with him for a short time, how could he know his abilities.

"Then I'll trouble you, Your Highness." Jabbar was also happy when he heard it. Compared with Lu Xingshi's carving, he still trusted the stonemason more.

"Then I'll start." After seeing that they had reached an agreement, Lu Xingshi naturally began to work on the statue carefully.
