Chapter 122: Solicitation
After offering incense and worshipping in front of the Lingtang of the head of the family, Gu Zuo asked the reason, and Elder Lu said: "It's not a secret, my family has been making a miserable living for the past two years, and I really can't afford the 50,000 yuan tax stipulated by Qingcheng every year, the head of the door personally came to the door, planning to ask for kindness, please ask the Qingcheng faction to exempt some, who knows that if you don't speculate, forget it, the two elders of Qingcheng fought and beat the head of my family to a serious injury, and he passed away when he came back!"
Seeing that Elder Lu was full of grief and indignation, Gu Zuo comforted him with kind words again, and listened to Elder Lu say, "I wonder if the Huaixian Pavilion can make the decision for my Pingdu Eight Formation Gate and get this justice?"
Looking at Elder Lu, who was looking at him, Gu Zuo could only smile bitterly: "This matter is difficult, after all, the Qingcheng Sect is one of the eighteen major sects divided by the Chongxuan Administration, even if the head of the sect and a few elders are not there, the strength is still strong, and Elder Lu also knows the situation of the Huaixian Pavilion...... The army is on an expedition, and it is not long before Fang returns, it is the time of exhaustion, and to be honest, the cultivation affairs of Jiannan Dao, Huaixian Pavilion is not easy to interfere with. β
Just kidding, when is this coming, where is the time to help the Pingdu Eight Formations Gate to take revenge? Not to mention who was right and who was wrong on Qingcheng Mountain at that time, I'm afraid it is difficult to say.
Elder Lu didn't plead bitterly, he also understood that this was difficult for a strong man, but he was just doing his best in the mourning hall. Gu Zuo really wants to agree to raise troops to avenge him, maybe he will have to weigh it instead.
Out of the mourning hall, Gu Zuo asked: "After all, your sect is a sect of Jiannan Dao, and there is such a conflict with the Qingcheng faction, what will happen in the future, have you ever thought about it?"
Elder Lu said: "I'm not afraid of his family, there are always more than ten sects fighting with his family on Qingcheng Mountain that day, and everyone has also discussed it, one side is in trouble, and all parties respond, in short, this year's money, our family will not pay!"
This is also the result of the Qingcheng faction's too hard squeezing in the past, although the Pingdu Eight Array Gate can make money, but it is indeed too much for the family to hand over 50,000 yuan every year, no wonder they have to fight for it. Compared with the Qingcheng faction, Gu Zuo's Huaixian Pavilion is simply a family of charity, and after allowing various sects to join, they took out spirit stones for nothing to pay their salaries, Gu Zuo is simply a saint.
Taking this opportunity, Gu Zuo went straight to the topic and asked in a low voice: "Living in Jiannan for a long time, you have to guard against Qingcheng at all times, this is not a way after all, have you considered changing places?"
No matter how defeated Qingcheng is, it still has two Yuan Babies and more than 30 Jin Dan, which is not something that ordinary sects can deal with.
Elder Lu was stunned, looked at Gu Zuo, thought for a moment, and asked, "Over there in the Huaixian Pavilion, how much does it collect in a year?"
Gu Zuo smiled and asked, "What does Elder Lu mean?"
Elder Lu lowered his head and pondered for a long time, gritted his teeth and said: "20,000 yuan a year, it can't be more, if the Gu Pavilion Master agrees, the old man will take the disciples to Nanwu Prefecture to naturalize." β
Seeing that he was looking at himself with hope, Gu Zuo shook his head with a smile, Elder Lu was a little disappointed, and he still had to negotiate the price, such as twenty-five thousand or even thirty-five thousand, so he listened to Gu Zuo and said, "I don't want you for a penny, how about it?"
Elder Lu was immediately vigilant: "The old man has heard that many sects in Nanzhao either join the Lishui faction or join the Huaixian Pavilion, does the Gu Pavilion Master plan to do this? β
Gu Zuo sighed: "Elder Lu, don't worry, I sincerely invite your sect to live in Southern Wu Prefecture, not only do I not want your sect to pay taxes, but I am also willing to exchange spirit stones for your sect according to the market price." Of course, in fact, none of this is important, Gu Mou sincerely invited Elder Lu to go to Nanwu together to do something big. β
Elder Lu pondered for a long time and asked, "But it has something to do with the ascension of the Chongxuan Agency?"
Gu Zuo nodded: "Are you coming?" Gu Mou is not taking Qiao, there is no next store in this village, Elder Lu must think carefully." β
Elder Lu hesitated and asked, "Can you reveal a thing or two?"
Gu Zuo shook his head and said: "This matter is top secret, I can't disclose it, after your faction is naturalized in Southern Wu Prefecture, I will tell the elders as it is." β
Elder Lu hesitated for a long time, and once again confirmed that after moving over, he would not have to pay taxes and would not be annexed, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "That Cheng, Huaixian Pavilion is one of the eighteen sects in the world, and the owner of the Gu Pavilion used to be kind-hearted, and he was a master of the dynasty, so he must not deceive me as an old man, so the old man will arrange to move to Nanwu Prefecture." β
Gu Zuo was very appreciative and said, "Elder Lu, believe meβyou won't regret it, but you must be fast, I hope that the relocation of the Pingdu Eight Formation Gate will be completed within half a month." Remember, be quick!"
Leaving the Pingdu Eight Array Gate, Gu Zuo immediately rushed to Lingnan, and his destination was the Nanhua faction.
When he arrived at the Nanhua Sect, Gu Zuo generously came to the door to worship the mountain, and it was Elder Lin who came out to greet him. Elder Lin and Gu Zuo are more familiar with each other, when Gu Zuo joined the Nanhua Sect, Elder Lin was still very good to him, although some unhappiness happened later, but this kindness, Gu Zuo always remembered, and went to rescue Elder Lin when he was besieged by the beast tide.
After a few pleasantries, Gu Zuo asked, "Is the head here?" I want to talk to the head of the house. β
Elder Lin smiled bitterly: "The head of the family is missing, and the family is missing, I'm afraid it has soared with the Chongxuan Bureau." Now that I am in charge of the Nanhua faction, my disciples are planning to elect me as the new leader. β
Gu Zuoxi said: "That's good, if Elder Lin can call the shots, then it will be easy." β
Elder Lin asked, "...... Pavilion Master Gu?"
Gu Zuo hurriedly shook his head: "Elder Lin, I said at the beginning, I don't dare to forget your kindness in my life, you still call me Huaixian." β
Elder Lin said, "Then what's so embarrassing, you are already the top figure in the world now...... Well, if Huaixian has anything to do, just say that if the old man can help, he will definitely help. β
Gu Zuo asked, "Has Paizhong been busy lately?"
Elder Lin was in a more comfortable mood and said, "It is indeed very busy, since the ascension of the Chongxuan Department, the world has not been peaceful, and there are more and more sects and monks who come to our Nanhua Sect to order the magic array, and they are all very busy. Have you heard about what happened on Qingcheng Mountain?"
Gu Zuo nodded: "A little bit of one, two, a lot of people died." β
Elder Lin said: "The heads of the Eight Formations of Pingdu are all dead, so you can imagine how fierce the fight was at that time. On our side, the Luofu faction has forbidden all sects to go up the mountain, and if there is anything, they will go to the Sanyuan Palace in Guangzhou Mansion to discuss, they have already occupied the Sanyuan Palace of the Chongxuan Administration, and they alone have booked six magic circles in the Nanhua faction. Now all the sects in the Lingnan host province are all in a joint meeting, ready to ask the Luofu faction to increase the sale of spirit stones......"
Gu Zuo listened to him introduce the surging undercurrents of Lingnan Dao, and after taking pride in his detached mentality as a technical sect, he said solemnly: "Elder Lin, I hope that the Nanhua Sect will suspend all the magic circles that are being refined, and I have a big business to hand over to your sect." β
Elder Lin said, "What business?"
Gu Zuodao: "If I'm not mistaken, there are more than 110 people in our Nanhua faction?"
Elder Lin said, "In the past two years, we have recruited many disciples with formation talents, and there are already one hundred and fifty-six people. β
