Yugong Liuli smiled slightly and continued writing, "In the end, the Yousu went to the divine kingdom and became gods, while Yugong Hu was never reincarnated. Father Xu Fu was moved by Yugong Hu's act of saving her husband and bestowed upon the Yousu ( Yousu Fox God ) the divine position, in charge of the field of metal smelting."
Father Xu Fu, in the name of Qin Shi Huang, commanded the sun, moon, heaven, earth, immortals, demons, and gods of the Eastern Yi, granting special permission! Every hundred years, Yugong Hu can reincarnate once to go to the divine kingdom and reunite with the Yousu.
Therefore, ( by Yousu Fox God ) issued a divine decree to the Yugong Family, stating that every hundred years, a purple-haired, red-eyed baby girl would be born in the Yugong family, who would be the reincarnation of his beloved wife, Yugong Hu.
You must not listen to her voice, touch her body, or look at her face... You must remain a virgin until you are eighteen years old, then have a grand wedding with the earthly golden body of the Yousu Fox God, commit suicide by poison, and go to the divine kingdom.
Correspondingly, the Yousu Fox God will protect the Yugong Family for generations, providing them with inexhaustible mineral resources.
[This is the connection Yousu Fox God and our Yugong Family.]
Yugong Nishang stared blankly at the words in the notebook, lost in thought. " Sister Liuli, but these are all mythological stories."
[ Nishang, if this is just a myth, could our Yugong Family have survived for over two thousand years? Many countries in the world don't even have a history of over two thousand years.]
Yugong Nishang wiped away her tears, "That wasn't thanks to Yousu Fox God, it was the result of our Yugong Family's own hard work."
Yugong Liuli smiled and began to write.
[ Nishang, do you know how much wealth our Yugong Family has?]
"I don't know the exact figures," Yugong Nishang said, looking up in recollection, "But at one banquet, I overheard the Kyoto mayor, who was trying to curry favor with us, say that our family monopolizes the domestic metal smelting industry, spanning ferrous metal smelting, heavy metal smelting, light metal smelting, precious metal smelting... We're the number one Big Mac conglomerate in Kyoto!"
"Their assets seem to be around ten trillion yen."
Yugong Liuli smiled and wrote, "[That's not right, Nishang. Our Yugong Family's assets are 30 trillion yen.]"
"Thirty trillion yen?"
Yugong Nishang was completely dumbfounded. Although he had no concept of money since childhood, he had heard from the political and elite circles in Tokyo that a family conglomerate with assets of 30 trillion yen could influence the future fate of the country!
"Did the mayor of Kyoto lie to me?"
The mayor of Kyoto did not lie to you.
"Where did those extra 20 trillion yen come from?"
Yugong Nishang was completely baffled. Twenty trillion yen was an extremely exaggerated figure. Converted into the world's most popular currency, the Chinese yuan, it would be equivalent to more than 800 billion yuan!
[ Nishang, turn around and look at the Yousu Fox God.]
"What's so interesting about a broken gilded statue? I've seen it for seventeen years, I'm already tired of it."
Although Yugong Nishang expressed her dissatisfaction, she still looked up. The golden statue was placed on the altar, which was magnificent. Unlike the solemn and aged faces of other gods, Yousu Fox God a handsome face and an expression between a boy and a young man.
He had heard his mother mention when he was a child that Yousu Fox God achieved her divine status at the age of Fu Ji, which is equivalent to eighteen years old in modern times, so the golden statue would appear to be younger.
"That damn long jar."
Yugong Nishang looked at the long jar held by Yousu Fox God and her face darkened.
When I was little, I was ignorant and climbed onto the altar to urinate on the long jar in the hands of the Yousu Fox God. As a result, my father beat me half to death, and the entire clan of hundreds of people knelt in front of the statue to repent for seven days and seven nights before the matter was considered closed.
Later, I learned from my mother that this long jar was called a straight-cylinder jar. Yousu Fox God loved to drink Lord Xu's Drink made from dried plums and hawthorns. Because he often needed to go out to the wild to find herbs, he would use a straight-cylinder jar to store Lord Xu's Drink. When he was thirsty, he would take a sip to relieve the heat and refresh himself.
"So what? Sister Liuli, why are you showing me this broken statue?" Yugong Nishang turned her head and asked, puzzled.
[The golden statue of Yousu Fox God is made of solid gold!]
"Physical gold?"
Yugong Liuli froze, then her eyes widened. "Are you kidding me, Sister Liuli? This 5-meter-tall statue is made of solid gold?"
Yugong Liuli nodded.
[This gilded statue of Yousu Fox God used 100 tons of gold, which, converted to the Japanese yen gold price, is approximately 2 trillion yen.]
"2 trillion yen?"
Yugong Nishang's eyes widened. The country does have statues of gods made of solid gold, such as Great Goddess Amaterasu, but that only used 1 ton of gold, which cost 20 billion yen. The Yousu Fox God statue in front of her was a hundred times more valuable than Great Goddess Amaterasu's, which was simply unbelievable!
[Beneath the altar dedicated to the Yousu Fox God, there is a secret chamber containing 900 tons of gold.]
900 tons of gold?
Yugong Nishang was stunned. Having spent years indulging in debauchery with the sons of political figures and powerful individuals, she knew a great deal of state secrets, such as the state of Japan's gold reserves, which totaled only 800 tons nationwide!
The Yugong Family's gold reserves amount to 1,000 tons, far exceeding the country's total reserves! They are truly richer than a nation!
Yugong Nishang swallowed hard, her face filled with shock, as she looked at Yousu Fox God. "So, the twenty trillion yen that appeared out of nowhere is right in front of me."
[This 1000 tons of gold was obtained through the sacrifice of 20 priestesses ( Yugong Hu ) over a period of more than two thousand years.]
"Wh... what do you mean?"
[When a reincarnated priestess sacrifices herself to go to the divine realm, the Yousu Fox God will bestow a gold mine upon our Yugong Family; this happens every hundred years.]
Yugong Nishang was stunned.
With her eyes lowered, Yugong Liuli slowly wrote, "[The high priest of the shrine has calculated that if I dedicate myself to the divine realm, the Yousu Fox God will bestow upon me the total amount of gold received from the 20 priestesses who have dedicated themselves so far! That is, 1000 tons of gold.]"
1000 tons of gold?
Yugong Nishang's throat bobbed, "That's twenty trillion yen."
At this moment, he suddenly realized why his mother would be so heartless as to kill her daughter. That was 1,000 tons of gold! If it were true, the Yugong Family would control the nation's gold lifeline and influence the future of the country!
The death of one person can bring prosperity to an entire family. Even a three-year-old knows that this is a business with a return of hundreds of millions of times!
Yugong Liuli pinched her younger brother's cheek and smiled indulgently.
[You're the one thing I worry about most in this life. In my eyes, you'll always be that crybaby who pretends to be strong. So, promise me, you'll take good care of yourself.]
Yugong Nishang's tears flowed like a burst dam.
" Sister Liuli..."
After a long time.
Yugong Nishang wiped away his tears. He knew that he couldn't change his sister's predetermined fate with his own strength, but at least he wanted to do something for her within his power.
" Sister Liuli, what is your wish?"
[Is that your wish?]
Yugong Liuli rested her chin on her hand, pondered for a moment, then wrote swiftly. A moment later, she turned the notebook over and smiled gently.
My wish is--
Yugong Nishang stared intently, then froze on the spot.
