The Huaixian Pavilion has become an official Taoist hall, ranking between the two sects and four halls in Shanyin County, plus he has also obtained the Dao, Gu Zuo can be regarded as breaking a big path in cultivation.

When the He family dispersed, Gu Zuo also got a dispersal fee, 10,000 yuan. Although there is no name of enshrinement, it actually enjoys the treatment of enshrinement.

When Jin Xianfeng left, Gu Zuo used the money to buy ten spirit stones from him, and the first thing he did was to go back to Xiaogushan for retreat. A wooden sign was erected in front of the mountain road, engraved with the four big characters "Retreat, Do Not Disturb", and Gu Zuo began to cultivate.

This retreat is two full months.

After two months of cultivation, the improvement brought by the cultivation is very obvious, the soul search true qi in the sea of qi has been condensed and formed, wandering between the meridians like a silk belt with a length of a foot, compared to the past, it can be called "strong mana", lifting the qi and jumping, can easily go straight up to a zhang high.

In addition to absorbing spirit stones, Gu Zuo is also practicing penance and finger knife techniques.

When he performed the tracking technique, the range of perception had been extended to Xu Fangyuan, and now he was at least thirty percent sure of what he wanted to find if he wanted to find any lost items.

When performing the finger knife technique, the horn knife in the palm rotates, with its own sharp blade. If you encounter a Qi Refiner like Ji Bantou again, even if you can't win, you shouldn't be as powerless to fight back as you were at the beginning.

In addition to the Shadow Chasing Technique and the Finger Knife Technique, the "Spirit Search Technique" also comes with a third practical spell, which is also the most coveted spell for Gu Zuo - the Dan Talisman named by Longrui Palace.

The use of the rune is extremely extensive, can borrow the power of all things in heaven and earth, the power is very great, I heard that there are several high Taoist masters in the Chongxuan Department who are good at the rune, and the world changes color when the rune comes out. In Gu Zuo's understanding, it is similar to holding a crowbar and shouting loudly, "Give me a fulcrum"!

However, the basis of the cultivation rune is the cultivation realm, and it is difficult to perform it without building a foundation, although Gu Zuo has made great progress in cultivation, he is still in the stage of refining qi, and he has not left the level of "early stage", and he is still far from the "late stage" and the "successful breakthrough" after the foundation building.

The sign of the transformation from the early stage to the later stage is whether he can see inward, Gu Zuo can only sense the sea of qi and meridians, but he can't sink in "immersively" to see clearly, so he can't be regarded as the late stage of a qi refiner.

As for how many spirit stones to absorb and how long it takes to cultivate to reach the step of inner vision, each exercise is different, and Wang Dao Chang is not here, so Gu Zuo doesn't know.

During the retreat, Gu Zuo did not take half a step down the mountain, although he ate very little during the practice, but after all, it was a full two months, and the previous savings were still eaten up. It is indispensable to go down the mountain to make purchases, and after spending a few hundred dollars, the kitchen will be filled, and seeing that there is enough food to eat for a month, Gu Zuo is very satisfied.

Now, it's time to think about going out and making money. A spirit stone is always money, and making money is always on the way!

How should I make money?

In the past, Gu Zuo had three ways to make money, one was from Chen Liu and Jiang Qi, these two had become ancient, and they were cut off; the second was from the He family, but the He family is now living in seclusion in Jinghu Lake, and they can't rely on outsiders; the third is from the Daiyue Pavilion, but when he "interrogated" Wei Changqiu at the He family that day, he offended the owner of the Daiyue Pavilion a lot, and now he comes to the door again, I am afraid that he will be deflated.

After thinking about it, Gu Zuo suddenly found that he had no way!

After thinking about it, Gu Zuo decided to go to the county seat to meet Zhang Mo first, Zhang Mo has been promoted to the county lieutenant of Shanyin County, I don't know if he can take care of the old feelings and give himself some care?

For Zhang Mo, Gu Zuo was faintly afraid, after the He family civet cat incident was completed, he counted all the people involved one by one.

Chen Liu, Jiang Qi, Chen Jiu, and Ji Bantou died.

Dong County Lieutenant and Zuo County Cheng hanged themselves in prison in fear of crime.

The He family was forced to live in seclusion and disappeared completely.

Bao joined the army and was demoted by 3,000 miles.

Wei Guogong and Xue Taishou did not achieve their goals.

Lu County's rebellion against the wall can only be regarded as a successful self-protection for the time being.

If you really want to talk about it, it seems that only Zhang Mo has benefited. Oh, and yourself, of course.

Fear is fear, but at this moment, he can only find the door, Gu Zuo thinks differently from others, he thinks that making money through the road of the government is also a broad road.

When going down the mountain, Gu Zuo was a little remorseful, most of his money was used to buy spirit stones, and he really couldn't get any decent gifts in his hands, after careful consideration, he had to go to Ruoye Creek to check the fish basket that was placed two months ago, but fortunately, there were a lot of fish and shrimp swimming in it, so he chose a fat one and put it in a basket, which was used as a meeting gift. Although it is a little cold, it is better than not giving nothing.

When he came to Zhang Mo's mansion, he presented the fish basket to Menzi to explain his intention, and the Menzi reluctantly took the fish basket and put it in the gatehouse with a disgusted face.

After waiting outside the door for a long time, the man turned out again and said, "My master is not here, if there is any emergency, you can go to the yamen and wait for the transmission." ”

After saying thank you, Gu Zuo turned his head to the county government again, and after waiting for him to leave, he turned back to the back hall and said to Zhang Mo: "Gu Zuo is gone, look at the direction, it is estimated that he is going to the county office." ”

Zhang Mo nodded, and said to the criminal Cao Song scribe beside him: "Go back and go to the yamen to see him, if there is anything directly blocked, in short, he can't open it." He has been on the mountain for two months, and a monk like him who has a single family can't save any savings, so he should have trouble with the money, and if he is smarter, it is only right for him to leave San'in by himself. Don't worry about it, although Wei Guogong recommended his name for his gym, he can't remember this person at all. ”

The Song scribe bowed down and agreed, and came up with an idea: "It's better to let people stare at it, and when he has no rice to put in the pot, maybe he will do some things like stealing chickens and dogs, and then lock up and exile him to a distant place, which can eliminate future troubles." ”

Zhang Mo said: "I know your thoughts, if he really breaks the law and violates the law, he will be punished as he wants, but if you deliberately frame it, do you think Shangguan will not know? Those little clever, don't play it, otherwise you will harm others and yourself." ”

Why did Zhang Mo drive away Gu Zuo, the Song scribes knew a lot about it, Zhang Mo was able to sit on the throne of the county lieutenant, and since then he has "entered the stream", and the Song scribes themselves have made suggestions in it, which can be said to have made great contributions.

The Song scribe agreed, ready to go to the Yamen, and Zhang Mo chased after him again: "The documents you are in charge of the punishment of Cao, the county has already approved, and when you report to the county law department, you can take office." I'm going to call you Song Xingcao in the future. ”

The Song scribe was overjoyed, turned around and bowed in thanks: "Thanks to your cultivation!"

The Song scribe returned to the yamen, saw Gu Zuo waiting outside the yamen, and entered his family's official room in Xingcao, and then began to do business.

When Gu Zuo saw the Song scribe, he first asked Zhang Mo about his behavior, and made a request to see him, but he was easily blocked by the Song scribe's two words, and in desperation, he asked if there was anything that Xing Cao's side could serve, but there was also no gain.

According to Song Shu's statement, Shanyin County is stable and peaceful, and there is no place for the monks to make a move in the near future, just let Gu Zuo go back to practice, if there is really something, it will naturally be announced in the county.

Gu Zuo had no choice but to retreat.

The next day, he entered the city again, but he still didn't see the county lieutenant Zhang Mo, but there were three shifts in the yamen, or the mischievous bastards in the county town often followed him.

They are sneaky, thinking that they are secretive, but they don't know that Gu Zuo's cultivation method is the best at perceiving, and they are clear about their whereabouts and movements. After three or five times like this, Gu Zuo became suspicious, and at this time, even if he was stupid, he woke up, Zhang Mo deliberately avoided it.

After figuring out Zhang Mo's attitude, combined with Zhang Mo's promotion to county lieutenant, Gu Zuo almost guessed some thoughts, maybe in the eyes of the other party, he was like a thorn, right?

He really wanted to tell Zhang Mo in person, your old man is now a county lieutenant, and it's too late for me to confront you, how dare you make trouble with you?

But this kind of thing can't be said explicitly, Zhang Mo won't give him a chance to say it, and even if he says it, people won't necessarily believe it.
