Text Chapter 7 The Ge Family
The Ge family is in the east of Sangji City, and a quarter of the entire Sangji City is within the Ge family's sphere of influence. The master and apprentice hired a carriage, and it took a day to walk from the west to the east city.
Yunshan Lao Dao handed the sincere recommendation to the doorman of the Ge family, and soon a man dressed as a waiter came out and welcomed the two of them in. I walked from the gate to the backyard of Gefu for half an hour. The man asked them to wait for their master and apprentice to drink tea in the living room, and then turned around and went to the backyard.
In an extremely elegant garden in the backyard of Gefu, an old man with white hair sat on a soft collapse and listened to what a middle-aged man said. The attendant walked into the garden, walked quickly to the old man's side, leaned over and whispered in the old man's ear, "Ancestor, this is a letter from above. As he spoke, he handed the letter to the old man.
The old man took it, carefully looked at the secret charge on the letter, confirmed that it was the secret note of Shangqing Mountain, waved his hand to let the attendant retreat, and then slowly opened the letter and looked at it, handed the letter to the middle-aged man who was standing in front of him, and said: "The person recommended by the Daoist Chief, the seventh layer of qi refining, it is estimated that he will soon be able to break through to the eighth layer of qi refining, which is good, you go to receive it in a while, and it will be arranged according to the standards of the previous guest qing." ”
The middle-aged man said, "Yes." Do you have any other commands, Father?"
The old man thought for a while and said, "No, you can follow the arrangement we discussed, and recruit people as soon as possible, we can't avoid the great changes in Sangji City ten years later, a little more strength is a little." Whether or not I can continue the inheritance of my Ge family in this change depends on how well I have prepared in the past few years. ”
The middle-aged man sighed and asked, "Father, is there really no way to avoid it?"
The old man looked up at his son, smiled helplessly, and said, "Teng'er, this is not something that our Ge family can decide, we can't hide." If we win, our Ge family will inevitably go to the next level and control the entire Sangji City; if we lose, everything will disappear. Natural selection, our Ge family will never back down, you go and arrange it. ”
The middle-aged man bowed to the old man and said, "Yes, father, the child will arrange it." Then he walked out.
Yunshan's master and apprentice sat in the living room for a long time, and then saw a middle-aged man walking in from outside, and hugged his fists and smiled from a distance: "Yunshan Daoist, Ge Teng, the head of the Xia Ge family, is late to greet you, and I hope you will forgive me." ”
Yunshan Lao Dao stood up, gave a salute with one hand, and said with a smile: "Don't dare, the master of the Ge family is polite." Yunshan Lao Dao looked at Ge Teng carefully, this person is the same as him, he is also a seventh-level Qi refining monk, and he is also a seventh-layer Great Perfection realm, and he can break through to the eighth-layer realm at any time.
Ge Teng entered the living room and sat down again with the old Taoist of Yunshan. Zhang Zhezhi stood very well-behaved behind Yunshan Lao Dao. Although Yunshan Lao Dao never taught him how to be an apprentice, he had seen a lot of movies and television in his previous life, and he knew how to be a polite apprentice.
Ge Teng first hugged his fists towards the old road of Yunshan, and then said with a smile: "Daoist Yunshan, we are all cultivators, so we don't need those mundane etiquette, and we will go straight to the point." ”
Yun Shan said with a smile: "The head of the Ge family doesn't need to be polite, just come directly." ”
Kudzu Teng smiled: "That's good." I read the letter of recommendation to the Taoist chief, and it is really a blessing for my Ge family to invite the Taoist to be my Ge family's guest secretary. The Dao Leader can rest assured, the Ge family will never be stingy with Keqing, in addition to the example of thirty spars per month, there will be no shortage of pills used in various cultivation, if the Dao Chief has other needs, even if he speaks out, within the scope of the Ge family's ability, he will definitely help the Dao Master to raise them. ”
"The head of the Ge family is polite, and it is indispensable to disturb the head of the family in the future. Lao Dao has been exploring alone since he practiced, and in the future, he hopes to communicate more with the head of the Ge family, and hopes that the head of the Ge family will not hesitate to give advice. ”
"I don't dare to teach, I also want to communicate more with the Taoist and learn from each other. "Ge Teng was extremely polite to the old way of Yunshan, because there were very few cultivators in this mortal-dominated country. In the case of Sangji City, there are only one hundred and ten cultivators in the population of millions, and this is because Ge, Chen, and the Three Families are the representatives of the three major forces in the cultivation world in Sangji City, so there are so many cultivators, you must know that these three major families have controlled Sangji City for more than five hundred years. Compared with the hundreds of millions of people in the world, it can be said that there are very few people who have the opportunity to step into this cultivation world.
The Ge family is now facing great changes in Sangji City, and the demand for cultivators is as much as possible, and each additional person will bring some chances for the Ge family to survive, so no matter how deep the cultivation of the cultivators who come to take refuge is, the Ge family will raise their hands to welcome it, not to mention that the cultivation of the old Dao of Yunshan is already the seventh layer of qi refining, and it is a master who can break through to the eighth layer at any time. At the same time, the old Dao of Yunshan is an outer disciple recommended by Shangqing Mountain, and his trust is naturally not comparable to that of the cultivator. Therefore, Ge Teng did not take the posture of a family master, but intersected with the old road of Yunshan with the attitude of a Taoist friend.
Yunshan Old Dao arched his hand and said: "The master of the Ge family is polite, since I stepped into the cultivation world, I have been practicing alone, and I have never had the guidance of my predecessors, let alone the same way of communication, so I have been stagnant on the seventh layer of qi refining for seven or eight years. This time I went down the mountain to find an opportunity, hoping to break through the bottleneck and go to the next level. To be able to get the recommendation of the true Taoist and enter the Ge family, I think it is my chance to come to the old way. ”
Kudzu Teng picked up the teacup and said, "Dao Chief, please make tea." After taking a sip of tea, Ge Teng continued: "If you talk about chance, it is nothing more than the guidance of masters, the exchange of peers and elixirs, etc., my Ge family does not dare to say that the Dao is long, but the exchange of fellow practitioners and some elixirs can still be done." As he spoke, he took out a jade plaque from his bosom and held it in his hand, and as soon as he stretched his palm, the jade plaque slowly floated up and slowly drifted towards the old road of Yunshan.
"Dao Chief, this is a token from Elder Keqing of the Ge Family, and I ask Dao Elder to take it. ”
Yunshan Lao Dao took the jade plaque, only to see that the jade plaque was two inches in size, with a hideous and roaring leopard's head carved on the front, and six big characters carved on the back of the elder Keqing of the Ge family. Yunshan Lao Dao entered a little true yuan into the jade card, and the jade card lit up, emitting a white light, and there was a line of words flowing in the white light, but it was the eight words "Ge Jiakeqing, unimpeded traffic".
Ge Teng said with a smile: "With this token, the Taoist can pass unhindered except for a few forbidden places of the Ge family, and the Taoist can borrow all the classics of my Ge family's collection of scriptures with this card, and I believe that it can give the Taoist a lot of references." ”
Yunshan Lao Dao put the jade plate into his arms and said, "Thank you so much, the head of the family." Since Lao Dao is already a guest of the Ge family, but the head of the family has instructions, Lao Dao will naturally do his best to relieve the worries of the head of the family and advance and retreat together with the Ge family. ”
Ge Teng smiled: "In the future, there will naturally be a place for troublesome Dao Chang." I learned from Senior Brother Zhenzhi that the Dao Chief is already the seventh layer of the Great Perfection, and it just so happens that I have to break through the eighth layer like the Dao Chief, so some time ago, I asked the Dan Master of Shangqing Mountain to help refine a few Shangqing Yuan Qi Pills, which is a wonderful medicine for the Qi Refining Layer to break through the bottleneck, and today I will give one to the Dao Chief, hoping that the Dao Master can break through to the eighth layer of Qi Refining in a short period of time. After speaking, five fingers and one piece, a jade bottle appeared in his hand, and then the jade bottle came out of his hand and flew towards the old road of Yunshan.
Zhang Philosopher was very surprised when he saw Ge Teng's finger, and a jade bottle appeared. Although he often saw Yunshan Lao Dao like a robot cat and always took out all kinds of things from his arms, he had never seen Yun Shan Lao Dao open his hand like a kudzu vine to appear a thing. I think that the storage treasures of Kudzu Teng are different from the old road of Yunshan. He knew that there was a storage bag in the arms of Yunshan Lao Dao, but he didn't know what Ge Teng's storage treasure looked like, and he thought it was different from Yun Shan Lao Dao.
What Yunshan Lao Dao lacks most now is the opportunity to break through the bottleneck, and the Shangqing Yuan Qi Pill that Ge Teng said is his most realistic and direct opportunity, how can he not be overjoyed? Yunshan Lao Dao couldn't wait for the jade bottle to fly towards him slowly, and hurriedly stretched out his hand and waved, the jade bottle swished into his hand, opened the bottle cap, and a thick medicinal fragrance overflowed.
Shangqing Mountain is the first sect to cultivate immortals in the Eastern Qin Kingdom, and the elixir refined is naturally extraordinary, and the old Dao of Yunshan only inhales a little medicinal fragrance, and the qi and blood are restless. He had been stagnant for nearly eight years in the seventh layer of Qi refining, constantly cultivating, waiting for an opportunity to accumulate steadily, and he had never taken any pills, so just a little medicinal fragrance could also stimulate his qi and blood agitation, and there were signs of a breakthrough.
The old Taoist of Yunshan was overjoyed, breathed down the restless qi and blood, and hurriedly capped the jade bottle and put it in his arms. At this time, he was not in the mood to talk to Ge Teng anymore, and he couldn't wait to take the Shangqing Yuan Qi Pill here and break through immediately. Hurriedly stood up and said to Ge Teng Heshi: "Thank you for the medicine, I don't know if the head of the family can have a free quiet room for Lao Dao, and Lao Dao will try to break through the bottleneck." ”
Ge Teng saw that Yunshan Lao Dao was so anxious, not only secretly funny. But he could also understand the mood of Yunshan Old Dao, no matter who had been stagnant at the bottleneck of cultivation for several years, once the opportunity came, he would not delay for a moment.
"Dao Chief, Ge has something to say to the Dao Chief, and I hope that the Dao Chief will not blame him. ”
Yunshan Lao Dao said: "Although the head of the family said it, how dare Lao Dao blame it. ”
Ge Teng coughed lightly and said: "Ge thinks that the more critical the breakthrough bottleneck, the more you can't be anxious, but you should adjust your mind to the best state and break through in one fell swoop, otherwise there will be a risk of going crazy, I don't know what to think?"
When the old Taoist of Yunshan heard this, he said in his heart: "The head of the Ge family reminds me that my mind is indeed a little chaotic under the great joy, if I break through in such a hurry, even if I don't go crazy, I will waste this opportunity, and if I don't do it, it will be a big loss." Thinking of this, a layer of cold sweat broke out on the forehead of Yunshan Lao Dao.
