Chapter 64: The Gu Family's Birthday Banquet!
The ghost city is located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, in the east of Chongqing, in the heart of the Three Gorges Reservoir area, and is a famous tourist city in China.
In recent days, several of the most upscale hotels in the ghost town have accommodated a lot of quirky outsiders. Moreover, more and more people have come in the past two days.
The current head of the Gu family, Gu Changrui's birthday banquet, few ordinary people know about it, and not many ordinary people care about it. For them, even if it is the birthday banquet of the No. 1 head of the country, the two have no intersection, and there is no need to pay attention to it at all.
But for the entire Rongcheng, and even the martial arts forces in the entire Huaxia territory, as well as the top people among ordinary people, this birthday banquet is a good opportunity to get closer to the Gu family.
Therefore, a week before the birthday banquet began, there were many well-intentioned people who came to the ghost town in advance.
Li Xiuyuan took Wang Wenhu and Wang Yuxia to the three hotels, and after being told that there were no extra rooms, an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It seems that the Gu family's power in the martial arts world is really not small! Gu Changrui's birthday banquet, and in two days, the hotels in the entire ghost city are fully booked!"
Although he had already known from the memories of the Gu family elders that in two days it would be the Gu family's master's sixtieth birthday banquet, there must have been many people in the martial arts world who came. Li Xiuyuan still didn't expect that there would be so many.
Along the way, Li Xiuyuan's divine sense shrouded a radius of 100 meters, and he actually felt the breath of no less than ten martial artists, some of these martial artists were strong and some were weak, the weak ones were just entering the Xuan level, and the strong ones were not bad compared to Wang Wenhu. The smile at the corner of the mouth is even more obvious:
"Usually, I am afraid that I may not meet a warrior in a city. Now you can run into it casually, and it's a good time. ”
"Hmph!" Wang Wenhu snorted coldly and said mockingly: "The Gu family can rank among the top three in the entire Huaxia martial arts world. Naturally, there are many small families and casual cultivators, who want to come to the sycophants and get in touch with the Gu family. How could they know that with the eyes of the Gu family growing to the sky, and looking at the character of people with their spare eyes, there is no grandmaster at the ground level, but just a group of cats and dogs, and they don't even have the interest to take a look. With such a lot of effort, I am afraid that I will not even be able to enter the door of the Gu family. ”
In his words, Wang Wenhu was very disdainful of such a martial artist's approach. Even with the Gu family, he didn't have the slightest good impression. In this regard, Li Xiuyuan did not have the slightest surprise, the Gu family wiped out his family, and you still expect him to have a good impression of the Gu family, then it is really hell.
For those small families and casual cultivators who want to have a relationship with the Gu family, in Li Xiuyuan's opinion, they are also normal. The cultivation world is weak, and those who are weak naturally want to find a strong backer for themselves.
Martial artists often use some great tonic medicinal materials in their cultivation, and the cost required is not small. Poor and rich are not just words.
After all, in today's society, ordinary people are in charge, and after the birth of thermal weapons, warriors withdrew from the stage of history. Coupled with the power of nuclear weapons, those so-called God Realm powerhouses are also hidden from the world, and they dare not interfere in the world. Although the secular government still relies on the warriors, it is impossible for the warriors to collect money through illegal means.
If it is like the Gu family, which has been inherited for thousands of years, not only has a huge industry, but also has the ancestor of the God Realm, the government is more or less preferential.
After all, the strength of the powerhouses of the God Realm was there. If you want to kill a god realm powerhouse, the price you pay is too great, and the government doesn't want to do anything about it.
But most of the casual cultivators, and the people of the small family, not to mention the powerhouses of the God Realm, not even the powerhouses of the Heavenly Realm, there are no them. There is a lack of foundation, and not everyone has a talent for business. Moreover, the cultivation of martial arts requires a lot of time and energy. Therefore, no one will want to go into business if they are very talented. Then, they will have to find another way to make money.
Although, every year, the official will set aside a part of the financial allocation and distribute it to the martial arts forces according to the level of power, in exchange for the support of the major forces.
However, only third-rate and above forces have this treatment, and the family sects that have taken the money have to help the official deal with some special events. That money seems to be a lot on the whole, but after it is distributed to many martial arts forces, it is very small.
Therefore, in addition to this part of the financial allocation, the martial arts forces also need more financial resources.
For example, the Chen family and the Gu family, these thousand-year-old families, not only have the preferential treatment of the government, but also have a profound heritage, and there are many people in the family, and it is impossible for them to achieve something in martial arts, so most of the descendants who do not have the talent to practice martial arts will choose to do business. They took advantage of the prestige of their family and their own abilities, plus some preferential treatment from the government, and after years of development, they ran a huge industry and could be self-sufficient.
And those small forces, not good. In order to develop, there are some who simply completely defect to the government and join a mysterious department. Others can only choose to take refuge in some big forces. After all, the foundation of the martial arts family is force. Without force, everything would come to naught.
If a family wants to stay strong all the time, a genius in martial arts is indispensable.
Not everyone has the qualifications to practice martial arts, a family or sect must have a steady stream of outstanding junior disciples in order to maintain its longevity. How many geniuses can there be just by relying on the descendants of the descendants?
Therefore, these big families or sects will recruit some disciples with excellent talents, or some affiliated families.
Therefore, at the birthday banquet of the head of the Gu family, it is really normal for so many martial arts people to rush to pat themselves on the back.
After looking for a morning, a group of three people finally found three rooms to live in an inconspicuous small hotel.
Two days later, the morning sun rose, and the golden glow shone through the window into the living room. Li Xiuyuan opened his eyes, cleaned up briefly, and walked out of the room.
"Brother Xiuyuan, are we really going to the Gu family?" The three of them walked out of the hotel, and Wang Yuxia asked with some concern. The little girl was dressed in a long white dress with a ponytail, with a beautiful face, a straight breasts, and a tall figure. Because of the relationship between years of martial arts training, her legs are slender and straight, and there is no excess fat in her lower abdomen.
"What?" Li Xiuyuan pinched her little nose lovingly, and said with a smile: "Don't you want to avenge your parents and them?"
"Think!" Wang Yuxia did not hesitate at all, thinking of the relatives who died in the Gu family's injuries, and her beautiful face was full of hatred. His eyes couldn't help but redden, and he sobbed: "But, I'm also afraid that Brother Xiuyuan is in danger of you!"
Even though Li Xiuyuan repeatedly assured, the little girl was still a little worried. The ancestor of the Gu family, that is a legendary existence.
"Don't worry! Brother Xiuyuan, it's going to be fine!" Holding Wang Yuxia's jade hand, Li Xiuyuan's expression was calm, and he took the little girl and Wang Wenhu into a taxi and headed towards the Gu family.
