Chapter 74: Beijing, the wealthy Gu Bai
For the three of them, whether or not they could find gold, silver and treasures was just an irrelevant matter (Fatty Wang: Not really!), the Zhuchen Pearl was the ultimate goal of the three of them on this trip to the Yunnan Worm Valley.

All three people were cursed by Muchen Bead.

According to Shirley Yang, most of the people who move mountains have short life spans.

And in the end, they all died from the pain caused by the curse, and their blood turned yellow when they died.

Now that I have obtained the Muchen Bead, I finally have the hope of breaking the curse and living a normal life. How could I not be excited?

With Muchen Bead in their possession, Hu Bayi, Shirley, Yang, Wang, Fatty and the three of them could no longer stay at Caiyun Inn.

I originally planned to repair it for a few days, but I started making preparations to return to the capital the next day.

Gu Bai also felt envious.

He had never left Zhalong Mountain in the previous three years because he was waiting for Hu Bayi and the others.

Now that I no longer have this concern, it’s time to go out and take a look.

Moreover, he also wanted to build a test field for natural resources as soon as possible.

Hu Bayi has already speculated that the curse on the Zhuchen Pearl has finally been lifted, and he is going to Tibet to find the tomb of the Demonic Kingdom's Ghost Mother.

According to the lake view depicted in the murals in King Xian’s tomb, and the scene depicted in the eyeball murals that Hu Bayi had seen in Tibet before.

All clues point to a Tibetan palace-like castle.

Hu Bayi and others are still very efficient.

It is estimated that after returning to the capital, it won't take long to cut and peel off the Muchen Bead inside King Xian's head.

When the profiteer Uncle Ming from Xiangjiang arrives and the team gathers together, the plot of Kunlun Temple will begin.

Gu Bai calculated that it would take no more than half a month at most.

Soon the group of people took a car back to the provincial capital, and then caught a train straight to the capital.

Before leaving, Peacock looked at Gu Bai and his group with tears in his eyes, but he never came forward to say anything.

Even Fatty Wang noticed something was wrong. He looked at Peacock, then at Gu Bai, and couldn't help but sigh, "What a sin."

Gu Bai was still calm.

At least leave a thought in Peacock's mind.

Now that I have money, I might have a chance to study hard and get into a university in Beijing...

It can be considered as stepping out of the mountains and changing your destiny.

That is also the creation of the peacock.

Even if it doesn't work, life will be much more comfortable with this money. Maybe in another twenty years, Caiyun Inn will welcome tourists from all over the world.

There is a dashing proprietress named Peacock inside.

After arriving in the capital, King Xian's head was handed directly to Shirley Yang, who was asked to find an expert to remove the Zhuchen Pearl.

Gu Bai didn't care about Hu Bayi and Wang Fatty at all, and just let them follow the plot.

The first thing Gu Bai did was to get to know Da Jin Ya.

Although Da Jin Ya is not very useful when it comes to robbing tombs, when it comes to buying and selling antiques, obtaining intelligence, and preparing supplies, there is no one more suitable than Da Jin Ya, a veteran and profiteer native to the capital.

And although Da Jinya is a bit cunning, he is still loyal to his friends.

Gu Bai contacted Da Jin Ya using the identity of Hu Bayi's comrade-in-arms and thief friend, and it went very smoothly.

Gu Bai’s biggest goal is to get rid of some things from King Xian’s tomb in the storage space.

At the beginning, Gu Bai took some gold, silver and jade items that were not too hot to touch.

Almost none of the heavy bronze items were touched.

Da Jin Ya is an expert in this area. When he saw Gu Bai's things, his eyes widened.

It just so happened that Da Jin Ya recently had a big buyer who was buying jade items, and he agreed to help Gu Bai ask about the price.

Gu Bai naturally agreed.

Just leave these matters to Da Jinya.

Professional people do professional things.

When the time comes, give Golden Tooth a commission, a win-win situation.

The rest of the other bright weapons were also placed here by Da Jinya, allowing Da Jinya to take action slowly.

As the saying goes, steady stream of water lasts a long time, so Gu Bai is not in a hurry.

Of course, Gu Bai's biggest reliance is the gold bars and gold nuggets in his hands.

These gold cakes and gold nuggets are easy to get rid of.

Gold is hard currency no matter what age or where it is.

Gold cakes, in particular, also carry cultural value.

In the auctions of later generations, a piece of good-quality horseshoe gold would be sold for millions. Although Gu Bai's gold bars and gold nuggets could not be sold for millions, they could still reach six figures.

The second thing Gu Bai did after arriving in the capital was to find a place to exchange the gold cakes for cash.

People, I still recommend Dajinya.

But this transaction went very smoothly.

The quality is measured under load and then handed over.

Gu Bai still maintained restraint and only released about one tenth of the gold bars.

Twenty dollars in total.

Each piece can be exchanged for five to six thousand yuan.

When he realized that he had $150,000 in his account, Gu Bai knew he had made a fortune.

150,000 yuan in the early 1980s!
The value speaks for itself.

Gu Bai took out part of the reward to thank Da Jin Ya.

Then he asked Da Jinya to find a better courtyard house in the capital.

That’s right, Gu Bai was inflated.

Gu Bai wants to buy a courtyard house.

In later generations, buying a siheyuan would easily cost hundreds of millions, so it was naturally considered too exaggerated for someone to be able to afford one.

In the 1980s, prices were not so exaggerated.

As long as it's not in a particularly core location, one hundred thousand yuan is enough.

But it was also difficult back then.

The biggest problem was that courtyard houses in those days usually had several families living together.

The issue of property rights is very complex.

It’s not easy to find a courtyard house with clear property rights and a clean crowd.

This shows the benefits of big gold teeth.

Da Jinya is a native of the capital and has a wide network of contacts.

I actually found it within two days.

Gu Bai took a look at the location of the courtyard house and was very satisfied, so he decided to buy it on the spot.

The seller is a very educated man, but I didn’t believe it at first.

After all, Gu Bai still looks like a student and is only about twenty years old.

Unexpectedly, after Gu Bai made his decision, he paid the money immediately, which surprised the old man.

After looking at the grape trellis, goldfish tank, water well and the most valuable piece of land vacated after the east wing was demolished, Gu Bai was very satisfied.

While looking at the house, Gu Bai also used his clairvoyance to carefully observe the courtyard.

It's clean inside and out, and the Feng Shui pattern is completely fine.

This will be Gu Bai’s base in the capital from now on.

It happens to be not far from Panjiayuan.

Gu Bai stretched and murmured, "This place is really well maintained. It's absolutely comfortable to play the flute and bask in the sun."

When the original landlord heard this, he asked, "Can you still play the flute?"

Gu Bai just saw the scenery of the courtyard and thought that it would be more suitable to play the flute or erhu, but he didn't know how to do it.

The Taotie Musi flute is still lying in the storage space, gathering dust.

Gu Bai remembered that Taotie Musi's beast-taming flute had skills.

Can control beasts and affect the actions of beasts within a certain range.

It’s a pity that Gu Bai really can’t play the flute.

Hearing the old man's question, Gu Bai quickly said modestly, "I want to learn, but I haven't met the right teacher yet."

The old man smiled, with wrinkles all over his face.

Big Gold Teeth also laughed, "Oh, isn't this a coincidence? Professor Yang is a master of the flute, and his granddaughter is also a pillar of the folk music group..."

"No, Boss Jin doesn't need to praise me. Well, I think this little brother is quite destined to me. If you don't mind, you can come to my place to learn the flute when you have time."

Gu Bai wasn't in such a hurry to learn the flute.

The most important thing is to build a test field for natural materials and earth treasures as soon as possible.

But I heard Da Jinya say that the old man also has a granddaughter from a folk band?
