The Yamen road can't get through, and it will be very difficult for Gu Zuo, who has no foundation, to make a living.

Other sects and dojos have a fixed industrial interest, either cultivating medicine gardens to sell elixirs and refining elixirs, or sitting on fertile fields and mountains and forests to collect grain and mountain goods, or most of the disciples are from large families, and they can receive a large amount of donations every year, or operate dart shops, escort property, and so on.

In the final analysis, it is not normal for demons to be haunted, and if they don't meet in October, even if they happen, with the reputation of Gu Zuo of Huaixian Pavilion, it is impossible to compete with other sects and Taoist halls - of course, it is too late for him to hide from this kind of business.

Gu Zuo went to the villages in the county under the guise of going to the village, and traveled to almost all the streets and alleys in the city and the villages outside the city, planning to do some business to search for lost property, and also expand the business by the way, trying to see if he could tell a fortune, look at a physiognomy, check feng shui, and so on.

But I was busy for half a month, but I didn't receive a single business. At this time, he realized more and more how difficult it was for Wang Daochang to maintain Hengyi Pavilion.

Seeing that he was about to sit and eat empty, the dilemma of Wang Daochang's escape was about to reappear, which made Gu Zuo unbelievable - Huaixian Pavilion was obviously a serious Taoist hall registered in the county, and he had also obtained the Dao Certificate, why did he still not be able to get ahead? Not only was his cultivation unsustainable, but it seemed that he even had problems eating.

Later, Gu Zuo even thought carefully about whether to try the black way, either to concoct a fake demon and ghost incident like Chen Liu and Jiang Qi, or simply enter the city and clean up the splashes in the north and south cities.

But after thinking about it again and again, I gave up, not to mention that I was stared at by Xing Cao, I belong to the "key people" in the county, it is difficult not to be found out about doing this kind of thing, only from the point of view of the way out, don't easily get involved in crooked ways, once you get involved, it will be difficult to get out, and such a road will become narrower and narrower.

Gu Zuo finally decided, pulled down his face, visited the Daiyue Pavilion, and made amends if he should make amends, if he could get Wei Changqiu's understanding, he might be able to find some livelihood.

Now that the New Year has just passed, it is still bitterly cold, Gu Zuo waited for a long time at the corner of the alley outside the Daiyue Pavilion, and finally saw Wei Ji who came back from outside, and hurriedly flashed out, shouting: "Brother Wei wait a minute, the little brother is here to ......."

Before he finished his words of apology, Wei Ji saw that it was him, and he had already frowned and walked into the hall quickly.

Gu Zuo was very embarrassed, his body stiffened, but he still moved under the gaze of Menzi, handed over his own prayer post, and the letter of apology attached to the post, and said: "With a good voice, Gu Zuo of Huaixian Pavilion wants to meet the owner of Wei Pavilion." ”

The man knew Gu Zuo, hesitated to take Gu Zuo's worship post and went in, and after a short time, he turned out again and handed the worship post back: "I'm sorry Gu Xianshi, my pavilion owner said, I can't afford your reparation, please go back, Daiyue Pavilion and Huaixian Pavilion don't have any friendship, and in the future, the well water will not violate the river water, and they will sweep the snow in front of the door." ”

Gu Zuo sighed, took his prayer note and letter of apology, and wanted to explain two more sentences, but he couldn't say a word, and left gloomily.

After being so trapped for a few days, Gu Zuo was frowning sadly on Xiaogu Mountain, secretly thinking about some strange skills that could be used in exchange for some money, when a visitor came to Huaixian Pavilion.

This visitor looks very unbearable, and in Gu Zuo's eyes, it is almost very consistent with the word "obscene", it is Li Man, a disciple of the Dushan Sect.

In addition to his unbearable appearance, Li Man's cultivation is also very good, and he doesn't know if he has been in the Dushan Sect for five or eight years, and he is still spinning around in the initial realm of Qi Refining.

Don't look at such a good look, such a cultivation, Li Man is very good at eating in Shanyin County, it can be said that he is left and right, and even the increasingly famous female swordsman Luo Xiandi of Shanyin County is very good to him, I heard that he was accepted as a disciple of the Dushan Sect last winter, which is really incomprehensible.

This gentleman didn't knock on the firewood, pushed the door in a big grin, paced around the courtyard twice, and then said to Gu Zuo inexplicably: "What's the matter?

Gu Zuo was boiling porridge, holding a fire stick in his hand, looking at Li Man and saying, "You go to someone else's house and don't knock on the door?"

If this had been placed half a year ago, Gu Zuo would not have dared to talk to Li Man like this, but now that he is not afraid of Li Man, he is full of sulkness, and he is no longer polite when he speaks.

If it weren't for the fear that Li Man was behind the Dushan Sect, he was afraid that he would have already used the fire stick to beat him over.

Li Man snorted "haha", turned around without smiling, and looked up at the "Huaixian Pavilion" plaque on the lintel of the main house, and said: "Gu Zuo, I'm here to relieve your predicament, is this how you treat your benefactor?"

Gu Zuo took a deep breath and asked, "What do you mean?"

Li Man found the stone bench in the courtyard, swept away the dust on it with his sleeves, sat down, and said leisurely: "Gu Zuo, we don't talk darkly, your backer He's family has fallen, and somehow, you have hated County Lieutenant Zhang, do you think you can stay in Shanyin?"

Gu Zuo said: "Whether I can stay or not seems to have nothing to do with Your Excellency." ”

Li Man said with a smile: "Not only that, but I also heard that you and the master of the Wei Pavilion of the Daiyue Pavilion had a falling out, tsk, I really admire you for being tight, your ability to make enemies is not small, and your courage is commendable!"

"What the hell are you trying to say?"

"Don't be so angry, Li came to the door today to talk to you about a deal. ”

Seeing that Gu Zuo looked at him and didn't answer, Li Man coughed dryly and said, "I'm afraid your Huaixian Pavilion won't be able to hold on, so it's better to sell it to me, and I'll give you a price of 10,000 yuan, how about it?"

10,000 yuan is ten guan, or ten spirit stones, which is equivalent to the expenses of ordinary people in Shanyin County for about two years, which is indeed not a small amount. If it was half a year ago, Gu Zuo would have sold it without saying a word - although it was unpleasant to look at Li Man, but business is not business, but now, he definitely doesn't want to sell.

What Li Man wants to buy is definitely not the three thatched huts in Xiaogushan, what he wants is the license ticket of the Huaixian Pavilion, and the Taoist qualification that can be handled through the card ticket. This thing is definitely not something that can be won for 10,000 yuan, 100,000 yuan or 200,000 yuan is not enough, at least more than 300,000 yuan!

Of course, this is not a matter of money, Huaixian Pavilion is the foundation on which Gu Zuo stands, can it be sold?

"10,000 yuan? Buy me this Huaixian Pavilion? Do you know that the Huaixian Pavilion is now a Taoist hall on the official list in the county? Do you know that my Taoist Pavilion has a demon hunting card? Do you know that my Taoist Pavilion is eligible to apply for the degree? You are dead, I will not sell it!"

"10,000 yuan is not sold? ”

Gu Zuo looked impatient and waved his hand to drive people away.

"Nine thousand. ”

"What?"

"Now it's nine thousand. To sell or not to sell?"

"You can really say it!"

"Eight thousand dollars!"

Gu Zuo was angry: "I didn't expect it, I was tricked." ”

Li Man asked, "What way?"

Gu Zuo didn't explain to him, and pointed outside: "You go, remember to knock on the door next time, and I won't let you in when I knock." ”

Li Man got up, walked out nonchalantly, and said as he walked: "This time I came to the door, next time, you have to come to the door and beg me, remember, seven thousand yuan." ”

"Get out!"

"By the way, a reminder to you, don't think about going to the Liulin Sect to ask Senior Sister Luo, Senior Sister Luo is in retreat and is ready to attack the Foundation Building Realm. ”
