Chapter 11: The Gu Brothers

The Gu family is not only prosperous, but also full of talents.

Among the Gu brothers who appeared at the opening ceremony of Qingyin Pavilion, two were in politics, three were in business, and three were left behind in the ancestral land in the mountains after entering the Tao, did not follow the red dust, and practiced and studied the ancestral spirit pattern full-time.

The two who are engaged in politics are older, and they are both high-level cultivators in the Qi refining period. Gu Zhonggao is already 60 years old and a high-ranking official of a certain ministry; Gu Zhongzheng is around 50 years old and still in his prime of life, serving in the municipal government.

The three people who are engaged in business are relatively young, all in their forties, and they are middle-level in Qi refining. One is Gu Zhonghe, who does business in Beijing and has more than a dozen companies under his name, which belong to different industries; one is Gu Zhongping, who is engaged in securities in Shanghai; and the other is Gu Zhongchang, who is now developing in North America.

According to Gu Zhonghe, Gu Zhongxing is a pure Taoist cultivator, in his sixties, and is already in the Peiyuan period, and he is only waiting to build a foundation, and he is the mainstay of the Gu family's generation; Gu Zhongmin is in his early fifties, Peiyuan is middle-level, and he is good at Dan Dao, and he can refine a first-grade spirit pill, and he is very popular in several large-scale immortal cultivation points outside the world; Gu Zhongguan is the youngest, only forty years old, but he has already cultivated to the advanced level of Peiyuan, and as the key cultivation object of the family, he has accepted the inheritance of their family's spiritual pattern.

Since Gu Zhonghe met Yun Susu in Suzhou, the Gu family has shown the greatest kindness, the highest level of attention, and the most honest attitude of eagerness to make friends with Yun Susu. The matter of accepting apprentices was naturally rejected by Yun Susu, who said that the two had already worshiped a master whose whereabouts were uncertain, but Yun Susu did not refuse to exchange materials, she was worried that blindly refusing would turn her friends into enemies, so she took a few spirit stones in two or three times and exchanged them for a lot of herbs, elixirs, and magic weapons.

These are all things that can be used at the moment. Even if she doesn't need it, she is ready to change a little, just imagine if a monk can be self-sufficient in all the cultivation needs, what does that mean? No one among the monks can become an all-rounder, a Dan Talisman Array plus planting, a beast and other four and six arts, and the light life limit is a hurdle that cannot be passed. The natural lifespan of mortals is only one hundred and ten years, one hundred and twenty years for Qi Refiners, two hundred years for Peiyuan Monks, and only three hundred years for Foundation Building Monks. Therefore, where the monks lived, there were generally fang cities and cities to communicate with each other. Even if there is no market, it is common for people to exchange materials between casual cultivators.

Gu Zhonghe often told her about these things, and they were also introduced in the books and papers left by the great gods.

In the face of the olive branch extended by the Gu brothers, although she had doubts, she was only secretly on guard. But with the gradual deepening of communication and understanding, she was still moved by them, although they all said that they had a request for her, so they were courteous.

Let's say that the opening ceremony of Qingyin Pavilion, Gu Zhongping and Gu Zhongchang came from Shanghai and North America respectively, and Gu Zhongxing, Gu Zhongmin, and Gu Zhongguan, who were in seclusion in the ancestral land in the mountains, could not take the flying magic weapon in the world. They cherish their hard-won spiritual power, and because they are in the mortal world, they don't have the opportunity to perform a dust removal technique on themselves, and they are all covered in dust when they arrive.

After the opening ceremony, Gu Zhongxing often came out of the mountains to talk to her about Taoism. Because her cultivation is too far apart, it is often Gu Zhongxing who guides her cultivation;

Gu Zhongguan is young and jumpy, and his personality is as happy and sunny as a big boy. The practice in the mountains is boring, and when he can't sit still, he will also go out of the mountain to relax, and every time he goes out of the mountain, he will come to Yun Susu to complain, play with Yun Cheng Yunqing, and be coquettish in front of Mrs. Yun, so he is very happy with the second child and Mrs. Yun. Old Mrs. Yun instigated Yun Susu to take him down several times, and being a Taoist couple with such a person in this life can be regarded as a lifelong dependence. Yun Susu has experienced marriage and divorce, and is a mother of two children, but he can't mention the thoughts of men and women, just treat him as a younger brother and sister like Ranran.

Gu Zhonghe is right, she is especially helpful, and most of the supply and sales of Qingyin Pavilion rely on Gu Zhonghe's introduction. Gu Zhonghe had taken her many times to Khotan and Tengchong, the origin of the jade, to "go on a journey", and saw that Yun Susu was wary of him, and in order to avoid suspicion, he took Ran Ran or Manager Wen with him every time;

The Gu brothers made it clear that the purpose of befriending her was to get to know the original owner or maker of the rosewood furniture through her, and to ask them about the part of the spiritual pattern that had been lost and semi-lost in the generations of migration. Because they found that on the few pieces of red sandalwood furniture purchased from Yun Susu, the makers intentionally or unintentionally left four or five spiritual patterns recorded in the inherited jade slips of their clan, but their functions were no longer known, and there were seven or eight spiritual patterns, although they were not recorded in the jade slips, but both the trajectory of the text and the spiritual rhyme contained in them were secretly consistent with the Gu family's spiritual patterns.

They even speculated that the original owner or maker must have something to do with their Spirit Pattern Gu Clan, maybe it was still their lost bloodline clansman.

Yun Susu couldn't cry or laugh: they must not have imagined that the original owner of the rosewood furniture was her, and the maker was the great god Xu Xuan.

As for the connection, their speculation has some basis: the ancestors of the Gu clan were of the Gu clan of the Kunwu clan during the Emperor Ji period, and Xu Xuan had been the leader of the Kunwu clan in the Yao Shi before entering the mountain to cultivate the Tao - this is their connection with the great gods.

But when it comes to bloodline, their speculation is a bit unreliable: first, Xu Xuan did not leave children in the Yao Dynasty, so they are not the descendants of Xu Xuan's bloodline; Second, the ancient Kunwu clan in the Xu Xuan period belonged to the later bloodline of the Shennong clan, and was in the same line as the Yan Emperor, and the leader of the Kunwu clan in the Xia Dynasty was a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, and Sun Fan, a descendant of Zhuan, was sealed in Kunwu, and its tribe was named after the fief. Some of the members of the Kunwu clan in Xia may be the remnants of the ancient Kunwu clan, but the descendants of Fan, such as Gu, Wen, Su, and Wu, are completely descendants of the Yellow Emperor.

Really speaking, Xu Xuan and their bloodline are not as close as Yun Susu and their bloodline, Puyang Yun's surname is derived from the surname Yu, and Gu Zhong and their Gu surname are derived from their own surname, and their surname and their surname are both descendants of Lu Zhong, the great-grandson of Zhuan. That's why she and they are the Bloodline.

She had read all of these from the books of the Lotus House.

It's just that heaven, earth and man are like a furnace, everyone has coexisted and coexisted in the same furnace for thousands of years, and you have already had me, I have you, and you can't tell each other. For example, Emperor Yan and Emperor Huangdi were originally relatives of the middle cousin, and Emperor Yan and Emperor Chi were especially out of the lineage of the mountains, ten generations away, where can they still distinguish the origin of the bloodline?

Yun Susu could neither introduce them to the acquaintance with the great gods, nor answer their doubts about the spirit pattern, so he had to take a little apology, at the request of Gu Zhongguan, pretended to return to Puyang, and transported back a set of small round tables and small round stools of rosewood from the Yun family's courtyard to the Gu family. This set is even rarer than the previous ones, and each piece has one or two circles of moire carved by the great god himself, which is very exquisite and detailed. Those moire patterns were originally a kind of Najib's spiritual patterns, and they were engraved in the bright place, and it was easy for people with roots to understand and learn, and for the Gu family, this set of small tables and small stools was more valuable than the previous ten large pieces of furniture.

Of course, this set of tables and stools was still taken out by her from the lotus house, and returning to Puyang was just a cover-up.

The Gu brothers were naturally very happy to get this set of tables and stools, but Yun Susu was not so happy. There are a total of four sets of furniture carved by the great god himself in the lotus house, and each one is full of the great god's love for her. Originally, she had a set of four people in her family, but last time she sold ten pieces, and this time she gave away a set of tables and stools, and she herself had nothing, and all but a bed in her house was now replaced with modern furniture. She was not happy with her parents because of her slowness and stupidity since she was a child, and it was easy for a great god to come down from the sky to save her and lead her into the Tao, and this great god himself said that she was her father in her previous life, but she gave others the spiritual pattern furniture carved by the great god himself and gathered Fu Naji for her, which made her feel like a loser who did not know what to do and failed her elders.

In addition to this guilt, she also felt a strong uneasiness in her heart: Will the delivery of this set of cloud-patterned tables and stools expose the lotus house? The great god repeatedly told her that her heart should be opened, but the lotus house must be cautious. She felt that she had not grasped this degree this time.

In fact, there are a lot of extensive shelves and tables that are not exquisite in the basement and underground cellar of the lotus house, and she can take those to talk to the Gu family to blame, but she doesn't know if there are any spiritual patterns left on those shelves and tables, so she is embarrassed to do so.

She grew up in a poor environment, and her personality was a bit cheap, and she couldn't see others treating her well. If people are good to her, she should return at least three points, if they are good to her, she will return nine points, if they are honest with her seven or eight points, then it will be a bad thing, she will hate to take out her heart and hold it to others, and when she meets a good person, they will take it well, and when she meets someone who is sweet and bitter, people may throw her heart to the ground and trample on it.

Fortunately, the Gu brothers seem to be gentlemen, and they treat her warmly and kindly, and they don't inquire too much.

She kept reassuring herself: It's okay, it's okay, there are not so many bad people in the world, and cultivators don't dare to do bad things. Because if they want to become enlightened, they must go through nine calamities and eighty-one difficulties, and each eons are tortured by the mind and the mind with the calamities, and each difficulty is secretly examined by the meritorious immortals.

She didn't know anything about the spirit pattern, and it was useless to keep that set of tables and stools by her side, but it was given to the Gu family to play a greater role. What makes more sense to me now is not the moire furniture, but the wealth in the basement that I know and don't know.

The basement of the lotus house and the lotus house are one and the same, and the body is the lotus canopy of the chaotic green lotus, and the bottom layer of the house is buried by the great god into the space and the soil is the foundation, which becomes the basement.

There are a lot of wooden shelves in the north room of the basement, some of the shelves are put on some jade bottled wine, Yun Susu does not drink, so although it can be opened, it has not been moved; some of the shelves are full of clumsy stone bowls, and the bowls are covered with lids, Yun Susu can't open them, I don't know what is inside. The east and west rooms and the south house in the basement were empty, and there were some rough tables, and on these tables and even on the ground, there were a lot of spirit stones, spirit woods, and minerals scattered together, Yun Susu felt that he had money, and his confidence came from here.

Naturally, the great god didn't say anything to her, it was too interesting. But she is already Yun Susu, she is not Ge Tian's Su Su for a long time, and she doesn't even have a wisp of soul to mark the existence of Feng Susu, so why be persistent? Compassion and love, people pay attention to the love of the Taishang, good to her but because the previous life did not raise her, this life and abducted her spirit, so that she could not enter the Tao to feel a debt, this time to give her green lotus seeds and lotus house, has been compensated, she has her own biological parents who stayed in Puyang, if you are obsessed with the great god, is it not wishful thinking?
