C218 Town Village

Since it's already like this, what can the Avenue do? As I walked, I told Zhang Tiangang about what I saw in the return dragon view during the day.

Hearing my words, Zhang Tiangang's sword-like eyebrows knitted together tightly as he said:

"Old Man Qin is truly meticulous. This Great Charity Painting is right under his nose in the return dragon view, and what he sees are gods and buddhas. No one would have thought that this unremarkable statue would be the Great Charity Painting."

I smiled bitterly. My Grandpa's thoughts are indeed meticulous, but this made it difficult for me to do so.

If the statue was there, why couldn't it move the slightest bit? What would happen if it moved?

"Hard to say!" Zhang Tiangang shook his head and said: "I do not dare to say anything else, but I do have to pay attention to when, where, and what kind of deities they serve."

I immediately asked Zhang Tiangang if he understood the reasoning behind my Grandpa's actions.

Zhang Tiangang frowned slightly, and told me that my Grandpa had gone to the White Dragon Ridge and obtained three divine items. Those are the rarely seen treasures in a hundred generations, and it is hard to say if there are any reasons why the Great Beneficence Painting is placed at the side of the Jade Emperor Hall.

Of course, there was also the Mi Luo Supreme Jade Emperor, also known as the Jade Emperor.

This God was the leader of the Daoist Sect and governed the world. He ruled over the Underworld, the Heavens, the Immortal Buddha, and everything else.

Zhang Tiangang said that according to him, the Jade Emperor was the greatest god in the world, an unbreakable Vajra Body. As long as they have his protection, no one can do anything to my Grandpa.

"If that's the case, then for my Grandpa to place the Great Charity Map there, it can't be that he wants to get the protection of the Jade Emperor, right?"

"That may not be true." Zhang Tiangang nodded and said:

"No matter how powerful the supernatural sculpture is, it is only a deity statue created by a mortal body. The Zhang Tianzhi is the incarnation of a deity bestowed by the heavens and earth, the Five Thunder Righteous Technique is not something a supernatural sculpture can withstand. Perhaps, Old Qin has his own goals for placing the statue wherever it is placed, but Old Qin's attainment is too high, we are still unable to figure it out in a short period of time."

I sighed. If I really had the spirit of my Grandpa, then maybe I would have understood the secrets of this Great Benefaction Map that he left behind back then.

Unfortunately, my nature was dull, so no matter how hard I tried to guess, I couldn't figure it out.

Zhang Tiangang spoke a few comforting words, the two of us continued chatting, with no way to walk towards the Town Village.

Our Town Village s are in chaos. They are all laborers who didn't have a temporary residence permit or are working in the south and have lost their identity cards or are black people that live here.

Even in the last few years, the area had been a place where gambling was rampant.

Normally, we wouldn't step foot in such a place.

"This is just a coincidence." Seeing these places, Zhang Tiangang laughed and looked at me:

"Since you came, don't go. I know that one of the houses here has a good taste in making casseroles. Today, I'll treat you to a meal."

They were both young men that could not be beaten down with a single stick, so there was nothing to be afraid of in this place. However, Zhang Tiangang seemed to be quite familiar with the layout of the place.

With two or three steps, he passed through a few two foot alleys, and touched his way inside. Thus, he arrived at the center of the Town Village.

The terrain inside was like a maze, every building was neither tall nor short. Some places had a Sky Stairway on the third floor which was just right for reaching the roof of the fifth floor.

The reason for this was its uneven terrain. Besides this, every house had a small balcony that was built in violation of regulations. Countless wires passed through the balcony, shuttling through the alleyway.

I even had the feeling that I had entered the Kowloon City stronghold inside the Hong Kong film.

If a stranger were to enter, he would have to grope around inside for a few hours.

Zhang Tiangang seemed to be very familiar with this place. I asked him, "Have you been here before?"

Zhang Tiangang laughed, then said, compared to someone like me, who has a family and business, he could not compare. Before, he was just a vendor who calculated his income, and if he could not earn more than three melon and two dates in a month, the housing would become a big problem for him.

"The Town Village is cheap, but when you sleep every night, that mouse will be like the roof over your head. I've lived here for a few years."

"It's not that bad. The more miserable ones have a small 12-square-meter house. When it's raining, it's raining heavily outside and it's raining lightly inside. If there's a typhoon or something, the family would all have to go to the subway station to avoid the rain."

Zhang Tiangang also said that he once saw a laborer from the Town Village die in Site. As she was a hoodlum, she could not go to the crematorium, and only a few workers used gasoline to burn the corpse.

The half-burnt corpses were not even burnt to ashes. At most, they were just dried corpses. The workers grabbed some of them and threw them into the moat to give an explanation to the families. The rest of the corpses were thrown into the moat.

At the time of his death, he didn't even have a complete corpse to return to his hometown.

That was a tragedy.

I nodded my head. There were too many bitter people in this world, and most of the time, it wasn't as brilliant or beautiful as the ones in the newspapers.

"Fortunately, the world is sweet and bitter." Zhang Tiangang grinned and said:

"In the years I've been here, I ate steamed buns and pickled vegetables whenever I had no other choice. When I had a meal, I ate a sandpot and eight Qian Yi pots. They were rather well-developed, it's called fragrant."

As he spoke, he went through a few more alleys and reached the house that Zhang Tiangang was talking about, Aunt Zhang's claypot.

At the door, there stood a short and fat Lady Boss who was wearing an apron, and should be Aunt Zhang's concubine, who still recognized Zhang Tiangang, and happily shouted out:

"Aiyo, this is Master Zhang, didn't you say that you are going out to meet a noble? Why are you here at Town Village today? We agreed that you won't be in debt."

Zhang Tiangang rolled his eyes at her:

"Don't look down on me with your dog eyes, when will I be able to pay my debt to you? Today, I have come to this Town Village to call it returning home."

While they were talking, Zhang Tiangang patted me proudly and said: "Do you see this? This is the person I was talking about, a noble. In the future, the two of us will soar to greatness, you can watch."

"I'll just listen to your bullsh * t. Who doesn't know what you've done? Set up a stall and do your divination. You're the one who doesn't slip out of your mouth."

Zhang Tiangang spread out his hands, and only let out a long sigh: "Sparrow Annihilation knows his ambition, Sister Zhang, give me two luxurious versions of the claypot."
