Gu Zuo said: "I don't feel ashamed to sell fish for food, even if I am ashamed, I am also a person who has nothing to do with a few people." ”

Li Man said loudly: "Why is there nothing to do? Do you think that people from other places will say that Huaixian Pavilion sells fish? Will they say that you Gu Zuo sells fish? People will only say that the monks of Shanyin County are not doing their jobs and are selling fish in the shop! We went to Zhuji yesterday, and Zhao Yuan of Xianyunmen and they were all laughing at us, and Senior Sister Luo was scolded by the nose and couldn't fight back!"

Gu Zuo said: "But I have to make a living......"

Li Mandao: "How to make a living is your own business, but if you damage the reputation of my Sanyin monk, we won't agree!"

Gu Zuo asked Luo Xiandi: "Senior Sister Luo, are you not letting me sell fish?"

Luo Xiandi hesitated and didn't speak, and Li Man said beside him: "Gu Zuo, I got the teacher's permission when I came, so you can come under my door." My Dushan Sect is the leading sect in Shanyin, and it has a face in the entire Huiji County. ”

Gu Zuo was silent for a moment, and said: "I want to do things for the people of Shanyin County, subduing demons and eliminating ghosts, you don't agree, I made a loom, and I don't know who stole it into my Huaixian Pavilion and burned it, last month, the county organized a fast shift to search for rat demons, and didn't let me participate, what should I do? Now there is only one plaque left in Huaixian Pavilion, this plaque, I don't want to sell it." ”

Li Man sneered: "You can't run your own house, so who is to blame?" This also shows that your Huaixian Pavilion can't continue, and if you can't do it, you should disperse." ”

Gu Zuo said: "It's true that I can't run it, I admit it, I can't stay in Shanyin, can't I go?" But the county's paperwork just can't be done...... I just want to save a little money and ruin your reputation?"

Senior Brother Li said: "Didn't you just mean to give you a clear path? Worship under my door, I will be your teacher in the future, of course I, as a teacher, will take care of you, and you still need to live a hard life? Don't say anything about bastard things like you can't stay in Shanyin, as if we deliberately bullied you, it is you who is to blame for not following the right path? In short, from today onwards, you are not allowed to set up a stall to sell fish in this house, and it will be a shame! Quickly withdraw!"

Gu Zuo said: "Why don't we fight, if you win, I will worship you as a teacher, if you lose, worship me as a teacher?"

Li Man immediately shouted at Luo Xiandi: "Senior Sister Luo, what kind of attitude do you see him, he doesn't know the hearts of good people!"

The onlookers next to him shook their heads, and a child raised his head and said, "Mother, they bully ......" Before he finished speaking, he was hugged out of the crowd by his mother with his mouth covered.

Li Man sneered and looked around: "Cultivation sect affairs, what do you see? It's all gone! Hurry up!" The crowd of onlookers immediately dispersed.

Li Man said to Gu Zuo again: "Hurry up and pack your things, don't be embarrassed here!"

Senior Sister Luo stopped and said, "Forget it, let him sell the fish first today, and don't take it as an example." Gu Zuo, we are all for your good, cultivators must cherish their reputation, otherwise they will fall into the devil's path, if you don't understand it now, you will understand it in the future. I heard that your royal Taoist had an accident in southern Xinjiang, and everyone regretted it, so the Dushan Sect agreed to accept you as a beginner, as for the master...... I'll go to Dushan Sect to see Uncle Zheng and ask him to accept you?"

A few people turned around and left, and before leaving, Li Man turned around and said: "Let me give you another reminder, you have offended the county lieutenant Zhang, if you don't take refuge in my Dushan Sect, where will you have a good life? Don't come back tomorrow or break your legs!"

Gu Zuo didn't say a word, poured a few scoops of water from the jar to rinse the fish table, and the horn knife scraped back and forth on the cutting board, scraping the cutting board clean.

The butcher from the butcher shop next to him came over and asked, "How many more?"

Gu Zuo replied: "Five." ”

The butcher threw out ten copper coins: "I want them all, cut them clean." ”

Zhang Mo waited until Gu Zuo finished selling the fish, packed up the fish basket, and walked out of the middle street, then stopped him: "Xiao Gu, follow me." ”

Gu Zuo followed, walked behind his side, and walked out of the city together, and after walking for a while, Gu Zuo said, "County Lieutenant Zhang, let me go." ”

Zhang Mo didn't speak until he left the city gate, and suddenly asked, "Where did you learn your ability to solve fish with your hands?"

"Wang Daochang's soul search technique has finger knife skills, and I practice it every day. ”

Zhang Mo nodded, sighed in his heart, "good seedling", continued to move forward, walked for an unknown amount of time, and said, "Can you not move the sect?"

Gu Zuo didn't understand what he meant, but just followed.

Zhang Mo said: "The Huaixian Pavilion is still in Huiji County, staying in Shanyin, the two acres of land and three rooms on Xiaogu Mountain are still Huaixian Pavilion's, and your cultivation file still falls in Shanyin." As for going out, if you want to go, you can go, and if you want to come back in the future, you can come back. ”

Gu Zuo asked, "Yunyou?"

Zhang Mo nodded: "Yunyou, the county criminal Cao will issue you a Yunyou cultivation paperwork, if you encounter anything outside, you will be innocent, it will save a lot of trouble, and you can also earn some clean money on the road." ”

"Where's the ticket?"

"If you keep it for yourself, and you have the county paperwork to report, you are not ownerless, and it will not be written off after three years. But the ugly thing is said earlier, you have paid the hall fee for three years before, and from the fourth year onwards, you have to hand over the annual money to the county, or send it to me, and I will help you pay it, otherwise it will still be written off. ”

Gu Zuo thought for a long time, until he reached the bank of Ruoye Creek, and finally nodded: "Thank you Xing Cao." ”

The next day, Gu Zuo did not go to Zhongshi to sell fish again, which also made many people who wanted to see the scenery regret.

He went to the county office and got the wandering practice documents in the torture room. After going back, Gu Zuo fried all the rice he bought in a pot and put it in a back basket with a water hyacinth, two sets of clothes to change clothes, two pairs of newly bought straw sandals, a rainproof felt, copper bells, compasses and other miscellaneous items, as well as all the money he had saved from selling fish and saving - a total of five hundred and twelve wen.

Gu Zuo carried a bamboo basket on his back, wore a hat, hid the teacher's peachwood sword in his sleeve, pinned his own fishing line around his waist, and tied a horn knife to cut fish on his leg, and set off early in the morning.

He advanced to the county seat, stood at the gate of the county government and waited, and when he saw Zhang Mo, he bowed across the three-zhang wide street.

Zhang Mo nodded slowly at him, and watched Gu Zuo go towards the south gate, leaving the city and walking along the river.

When the news reached the Dushan Sect, Li Man said hatefully: "The kid surnamed Gu really doesn't know what to do, and he has failed Senior Sister Luo's ardent expectations. ”

Luo Xiandi was discussing with him about the battle with the sect in other counties, and when he heard this, he was silent for a moment, and said, "I just hope that he will have a smooth journey and devote his energy to cultivation." ”

Li Man said with a smile: "Senior sister has a magnificent bearing, and I admire my junior brother." You see, then I will send a letter to Jinglan Valley tomorrow and make an appointment for you to fight the ...... surnamed Yuan."

Gu Zuo walked slowly all the way, it took two days to reach Lizhu Town, another day to reach Lanting, and another day to Fengqiao. This is the farthest Gu Zuo has walked.

On the stone bridge across Fengxi, looking north in the direction of Shanyin, Gu Zuo stood for a long time.

Now it is still spring, the stream is not deep, and the bank is shaded by green willows.

Gu Zuo got off the bridge, walked aimlessly on the crowded streets and alleys, listened to the noisy and noisy all kinds of shouting and laughing, suddenly turned around, walked faster and faster, and rushed to Shanyin after leaving Fengqiao Town.

Four days when I came, one day when I returned.
