There is a mountain of ten thousand beasts in the southeast of Montenegro, the chickens and dogs in the mountain are barking, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, a herd of unicorn horses gallops on the hillside, and a sharp golden cow and dragon bearded sheep are pacing leisurely on the grass.

Occasionally, a tiger roar would be heard from nowhere, shaking the mountains and forests.

A few black cranes flew in the sky, landed on the edge of a pool, and elegantly groomed their feathers, a disciple of the Spirit Beast Department introduced to Gu Zuo: "This kind of black feathered spotted crane is cultivated by the poisonous beaked crane in southern Xinjiang, which has melted away the anger and is extremely spiritual, and the goal of our Spirit Beast Department is to completely domesticate it in three years, and then a qi refiner can control the crane flight." ”

Gu Zuo sincerely admired: "If it can really be realized, this will be the boundless merit of your department!

When he was visiting, a disciple of the Spirit Beast Department galloped over on a unicorn horse in the distance: "Pavilion Master Gu, the Third Elder, please go to the Imperial Beast Palace!"

Gu Zuo rode a unicorn horse, followed the disciple up to the main peak, and dismounted in front of a large hall. This hall is like a tiger's mouth, standing on the mountainside of thirty zhang, looking at this mountain.

In the hall, there is a large group of waiting monks, both from the headquarters of the Spirit Beast Department and from the Laoshan faction, after Gu Zuo entered the hall, everyone paid attention.

Mr. Zhong Da and Mr. Zhong Er were also among them, and explained to Gu Zuo: "Pavilion Master Gu, the elders are meeting with the Taoist friends of the Laoshan Sect in the inner hall, and the three elders specially instructed that they should not neglect the Pavilion Master Gu, and invite the Pavilion Master Gu to serve tea here." ”

Gu Zuo said: "I was the villain and came uninvited." I heard that it is possible for the Spirit Beast Department and the Laoshan Sect to reach an agreement today, and the younger generation is young and can't hold their breath, so they came to take a look. I wonder what the situation is?"

Mr. Zhong Er looked at the monks of the Laoshan faction behind him in embarrassment, and said to Gu Zuo: "There is a discussion inside." ”

Gu Zuo immediately reiterated: "I know that the Huaixian Pavilion is weak, but I still hope to move the seniors of the Spirit Beast Department with our sincerity and give us a chance......

There were a few sneers from the Laoshan sect's monks, and Gu Zuo didn't pay attention to them, and continued: "After my consultation with the elders in the hall, we are willing to further reduce the income of the spirit mine to three percent, and bear eighty percent of the preparatory costs in the early stage, we don't ask for anything else, just to be able to cooperate with your department, and the Huaixian Pavilion agrees that this is a valuable opportunity for practical learning." ”

Mr. Zhong Er sighed: "Gu Pavilion Master's sincerity, my Spirit Beast Department has already felt it, but ninety percent of the terms have been negotiated inside, I'm afraid it won't be easily changed." ”

Gu Zuo's tone was very firm: "Then there is still Yicheng who has not been negotiated, I am willing to wait, just wait here." ”

Mr. Zhong Er was moved, and stomped his feet and said, "Okay, I'll inform the three elders of the news of the arrival of the Gu Pavilion Master, and see what they say." Please take a seat. ”

Out of the corner of his eye, Gu Zuo saw that a disciple of the Laoshan Sect quietly entered the inner hall, so he didn't bother anymore, sat down to drink tea, took out the contract he had prepared in a relaxed mood, and browsed it leisurely.

The contract stipulates that the Huaixian Pavilion shall declare the bidding, and after the bidding, it will be handed over to the Spirit Beast Department, and the Spirit Beast Department will pay three percent of the spirit stones of the Huaixian Pavilion according to the output, and the payment will be made once a month.

As for the responsibilities of both parties, the Huaixian Pavilion does not have to bear the subsequent mining expenses, which avoids the huge taxes of Nanwu Prefecture, and the cost of bidding for the spirit ore is also borne by the Spirit Beast Department, and only needs to pay eighty percent of the cost of preliminary preparations.

As long as you get the spirit mine, you can enjoy three percent of the annual income.

If the bidding fails, the loss will probably be around 300 guan, which is the upper limit of the early investment of various spirit ore bids before.

In fact, even if it really failed and led to losses, Gu Zuo thought it was worth it, in exchange for close cooperation with the Spirit Beast Department, and tied the Huaixian Pavilion to the chariot of the Spirit Beast Department, is three hundred guan expensive?

After examining it, I sighed in my heart, if this contract was true, how good would it be?

Just as he was thinking, a Taoist priest with wide sleeves and a big robe walked slowly from the Laoshan sect monks and came to the opposite side of Gu Zuo: "Pavilion Master Gu?"

Gu Zuo raised his eyes and looked, this Taoist priest looked ordinary, and there was nothing inconspicuous, so he stretched out his hand and asked: "Daoist, please take a seat." ”

The Taoist priest smiled, sat down, and politely rejected the tea cup sent by Gu Zuo: "Poor Dao Fang Qinghe, just say a few words and leave." ”

"Please?"

"Can I take a look at the deed prepared by your pavilion first?"

"Please!"

"Pavilion Master Gu is generous. ”

"There is no need to be ashamed of being humble. ”

Fang Qinghe opened the deed and asked, "Isn't Pavilion Master Gu afraid of offending my Laoshan faction?"

Gu Zuo asked rhetorically: "Will the Laoshan faction take revenge on the Huaixian Pavilion because of this?"

Fang Qinghe smiled: "Of course it can't be...... However, if the Huaixian Pavilion has a request for Laoshan in the future, many people in the faction must mind. ”

Gu Zuo said silently: "This is the sorrow of the small sect and the small gate, the Huaixian Pavilion wants to find a way, and can only try to survive in the cracks, we hope and we also believe that the Laoshan faction, a famous family in the world, will not be embarrassed by the Huaixian Pavilion." ”

Fang Qinghe smiled: "Wealthy, where do you dare to call it a giant?"

Gu Zuo said: "The Laoshan faction has always had this background, and it is well deserved to win this vein." ”

Fang Qinghe looked at the deed and said, "Then borrow the auspicious words of the pavilion master...... Alas, such humble conditions, your pavilion is also willing?"

Gu Zuo sighed: "To be able to cooperate with the Spirit Beast Department and participate in the bidding for such a big project, the Huaixian Pavilion is already satisfied, what we are asking for is not money, what we are asking for is experience." ”

Fang Qinghe pondered the word "experience", nodded, and handed the deed back to Gu Zuo: "Pavilion Master Gu has worked hard, and he admires it to the fullest. ”

got up from the chair and leaned over to Gu Zuo's side: "Send a message to the Gu Pavilion Master, over there in the Star Department, I heard that the conversation is also very difficult, there is a chance!"

With that, he left with a smile.

After a while, a group of people poured out of the inner hall, and Gu Zuo saw the three elders and the Black Mountain Zhaohu Division joining the army Zhong Ziyu in it.

Zhong Senjun looked at Gu Zuo with a smile and nodded, Gu Zuo understood that the Spirit Beast Department and the Laoshan faction had signed a contract.

After the contract was signed, the spirit beast department set up a banquet of wine, and the wine and delicacies that had been prepared were passed on.

The Great Elder of the Spirit Beast Department is called Hu Sanren, what is his real name, even the second elder Xiong Youjin and the third elder Zhong Ziyu don't know, it is said that when the three brothers worshipped back then, he claimed that he had forgotten. This was the first time Gu Zuo had seen these two, but these two acted as if they hadn't seen him. There were also six incense masters present, including Mr. Zhong Da and Mr. Zhong Er.

On the Laoshan faction's side, it was the general elder, Yuanying monk Luo Shengong who was the leader, followed by two Jin Dan, six foundation builders, and more than ten qi refiners.

Looking at the two sides talking and laughing, Gu Zuo faintly felt a trace of loss in his heart, and squeezed out a smile.

Gu Zuo definitely couldn't and didn't want to participate in such a banquet, he had already offended the Taoist priests of the Laoshan faction to some extent, and it would be too ignorant to stay any longer.

Gu Zuo hugged his fists and said goodbye to Zhong Senjun, turned around and left, including the monks of the Laoshan faction, everyone tacitly did not notice Gu Zuo's farewell, only Mr. Zhong Er chased after him and sent him out of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.

Gu Zuo rode alone, walking on the way back, Liang Jiufang sighed and opened the envelope that Mr. Zhong Er had stuffed into his arms.

A thousand-run ticket to the profit bank!

It is twice as much as the original agreement, which shows that the Spirit Beast Department is satisfied with Gu Zuo's cooperation, and of course, it can also be seen that the Laoshan faction must have made concessions.

Putting away the ticket, Gu Zuo looked at the mountains around him, full of thoughts.
