In fact, it is unavoidable even in a big family and a powerful family to eat both inside and outside and get two salaries.
After all, the same amount of money feeds all kinds of people, and there will always be those who feel resentful and feel that their talents are not appreciated, or that they are pretentious, greedy, and insufficient. Such people are often the best to be bribed.
Such people can easily be used for their own purposes by sending someone to express their sympathy and affirmation with a few soft words, and then using some inducements.
It doesn't matter if it's just a low-level monk. Low-level monks usually don't have access to the core of the family, and the family's important areas are usually garrisoned by high-level monks;
But what is really fatal are the mainstays of the families who were bribed to instigate rebellion.
Once the middle or high-level members of the family are bribed, the harm caused is immeasurable.
Families have also tried their best to prevent or reduce the occurrence of this kind of thing.
Among them, the most suitable method is to build a platform for asking questions.
The Asking Heart Platform is a fourth-level formation that can detect whether a monk is lying, monitor the monk's mood, etc.;
However, it is not easy to build the Asking Heart Platform. It is difficult to build. It requires a fourth-level weapon refiner to refine the necessary tools, a fourth-level array master to preside over the construction, and two third-level array mages to assist.
Together with several fourth-level spiritual objects and a large number of third-level materials, it will take more than a month to complete.
Because it requires a lot of manpower and material resources, the ordinary Jindan family does not have the strength to build it, and the current Gu family certainly cannot do it either.
Moreover, the Asking Heart Platform is not invincible. It is only effective for monks whose cultivation is at the Zifu stage and below. Golden elixir stage monks cannot detect their emotions even if they stand on the Asking Heart Platform.
For this reason, most families adopt methods such as increasing law enforcement efforts at law enforcement halls, and setting up reporting rewards, etc.
So, after thinking for a while, someone suggested expanding the scale of the family law enforcement hall, encouraging reporting of undercover agents, etc.
Gu Shining hesitated slightly before agreeing.
After that, he turned his attention to Gu Changwu, who was mourning and said in a cold voice:
"Gu Changwu colluded with foreign enemies and put the family in danger for his own selfish interests. He failed the family's many years of training and his sin is unforgivable;
According to the clan rules, after abolishing the cultivation level, he will be executed. After his death, the bones will not be allowed into the family ancestral hall. This will be implemented after three days;
At that time, everyone on Bifeng Mountain will be gathered to watch the execution and serve as a warning to others."
As soon as Gu Shining finished speaking, Gu Changwu rolled his eyes and fainted.
Gu Shining glanced at him and then looked at the elders
"Elders, do you have any objections?"
"The patriarch is wise." The elders said in unison.
None of them would intercede for such a profit-obsessed guy. In fact, several young foundation-building monks wanted to kick him to appease their indignation.
After the dust settled, everyone discussed some matters related to tonight. The meeting lasted for half an hour before ending.
A few days later, in Jiuqifang City, a Gu family monk named Gu Qingyan was in the Gu family restaurant. After drinking, he boasted that their Gu family's clan-protecting formation was so magical that it was as easy to kill the Zifuqi monks as to kill a chicken;
At that time, some monks who liked to bluff asked: "Brother Qingyan said it was so powerful, but have you seen it with your own eyes?
The monks in the Zifu period have the ability to break mountains and crack rocks. They are beyond our reach. How could they be killed in an instant?"
Gu Qingyan was so drunk that he slapped the table and said:
"Of course I've seen it!"
Gu Qingyan's hand was very strong and his voice was very loud. The tableware on the rosewood table shook when he took the picture, which naturally attracted the attention of many people.
Many people who didn't know the reason thought he was here to cause trouble. After asking others, they found out that this was a monk from the Gu family.
The monk who had taken advantage of him before heard that Gu Qingyan's words seemed to have some extraordinary meaning, and his eyes couldn't help but gleam:
"It's just that my knowledge is shallow. I wonder, Brother Qingyan, can you tell me more about this matter?"
Gu Qingyan took another sip of spiritual wine, and then told him intermittently about the Gu family's Jiuji Submersible Formation that killed two Zifu period monks a few days ago.
"Me and...
Let me tell you, it wasn’t me, Gu Qingyan, who blew it, just... hiccuped... just like that,
The two Zifuqi died, but they...
They deserve it. They deserve it for daring to attack my Gujia Sutra Pavilion... They deserve it...
This wine..., why is the wine gone?
Uncle Changhong, give me another jar of March wine, I will drink enough today...
I haven’t had such a good drink in a long time...burp..."
Gu Changhong, who was settling accounts, rolled his eyes at Gu Qingyan and ignored him.
After everyone listened to Gu Qingyan's words, they looked at Gu Changhong again. Seeing that he didn't say anything, they thought that this was 80% true. This is amazing!
Two Zifu Stage monks died instantly. Is the power of the fourth-level formation so terrifying?
After less than half an hour, the banquet dispersed. Gu Qingyan stood up from the chair in a daze, pushed away the tribesman who wanted to help him, and stumbled back to the back hall. He was not even a few dozen steps away.
I accidentally bumped into a guest, who seemed really drunk.
There were also casual cultivators who secretly laughed at him for being an immeasurable drunkard.
However, what those casual cultivators didn't know was that the moment Gu Qingyan returned to the back hall, his swaying steps became steady, and the drunkenness in his eyes also disappeared like a tide in an instant. He patted his face and looked towards
Walk towards a room.
Gu Shilang had been sitting in the room for a while.
When Gu Qingyan came to the door, he heard Gu Shilang's voice before he knocked on the door.
"Come right in!"
Gu Qingyan replied, then opened the door and walked in.
"Elder, the matter has been settled."
Gu Qingyan handed over his hand and said that he had a clear demeanor and a measured advance and retreat. Except for the fact that the strong smell of alcohol on his body had not changed, his other behaviors were completely different from those in the front hall just now.
Gu Shilang nodded, patted the storage bag, and a jar of spiritual wine flew out.
"Well, you did a good job, this is for you."
When Gu Qingyan saw the spirit wine, he couldn't help but smile and took the small jar of spirit wine. He smelled it at the mouth of the jar through the mud seal, and then said in surprise:
"This is the second-level spiritual wine Zi Tan Yuan. It has been stored in the cellar for ten years! The elder is majestic!"
This is infinitely better than the spiritual wine he drank just now.
Gu Shilang smiled, waved his hand and said:
"alright.
This spiritual wine is one of the salaries of Elder Ji Zhu. I am not good at this, but you have done a good job and are smart, so it is appropriate to reward you.
If you really like this wine, then concentrate on training and reach the ninth level of Qi training as soon as possible. After building the foundation, it will not be difficult to get the second-level spiritual wine."
The family's situation has gotten better and better over the years, and even foundation-building spiritual objects that were previously unattainable can be produced by themselves. Therefore, the young monks have many more opportunities to build foundations than they did at that time. Basically,
As long as you work hard, building a foundation before the age of sixty is not a problem.
Gu Qingyan held the spirit wine jar with a smile. After listening to Gu Shilang's words, he nodded seriously:
"Thank you, elder, for teaching me. I will remember it."
