Traveling quickly, when Qin Hai returned to the place where they separated before, Ma Wenqiang was still waiting for him. Seeing Qin Hai coming back, Ma Wenqiang immediately greeted him with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Qin, have you been to Baiyun Village already?"
"Well, I've been there and sent Yun Na home." Qin Hai glanced around and asked, "By the way, you seem to be missing someone here?"
"I asked Xiaodong to go back and make a notice to prepare dinner, so that we don't have to wait for a long time before we can eat." Ma Wenqiang raised his hand and said, "Mr. Qin, it's getting late, let's leave quickly, otherwise it will get dark later.
It would be inconvenient.”
Qin Hai nodded, "Okay, please trouble Hall Master Ma."
The group of people set off again, heading deep into the mountains.
After walking a few steps, Ma Wenqiang asked with a smile: "Mr. Qin, did you meet old man Dawang in Baiyun Village?"
"I see! By the way, Hall Master Ma, Old Man Dawang seems to have some criticisms of your Gu sect, saying that your Gu sect has done a lot of harmful things. What do you think?" Qin Hai glanced at Ma Wenqiang.
Ma Wenqiang smiled faintly, "I knew he would say that. Mr. Qin, I won't hide it from you. In fact, our Gu sect's life is very difficult. Our Gu sect was born in the Miao family, and our ultimate purpose is to make the Miao family live a comfortable life."
Happier. In recent years, our Gu sect has done a lot under the leadership of Sect Master Peng. It can be said that we have tried every means to help the Miao family get rich and make more Miao families
People live a happy life. However, due to various reasons, there are still many people in the Miao family who are prejudiced against us and even hate us. Old man Tawang is one of them. He is a bit old-fashioned and does not understand that times have changed.
So no matter what we do, we use the past rules as examples. In his eyes, our Gu sect’s reforms over the years may be evil."
Qin Hai nodded and did not comment on Ma Wenqiang's statement.
Ma Wenqiang continued: "Mr. Qin, you have seen the world and you should be able to understand what I mean. Times are really different now. No matter what you do, you need money. For example, if the road we go into the mountains can be built into a smooth and wide
The road, the Miao people in the mountains
There will be one more way to get rich. Whether it is transporting goods out of the mountains or letting rich people from the city come to the mountains for leisure and vacation, there is a lot of potential. But if you want to build roads, you will need a lot of money, Miao
My family has been poor for how many years, how did they get so much money?"
Qin Hai nodded, "Building roads is indeed a good idea!"
"Yes, building roads is definitely a great thing, but it can't be done without money!" Ma Wenqiang immediately followed Qin Hai's words, "Our Lord Peng has long had the idea of building roads, but money is not enough.
He was stumped, and the Miao family was stumped as well. Over the years, in order to raise enough money, Master Peng led our Gu sect to do a lot of work. Mining, practicing medicine, and even organizing everyone to go to the city to work.
He tried every means to raise money. And he himself racked his brains and contacted as many relevant government units as possible, hoping to get more support from all aspects. But even so, many Miao family members still have such and such concerns about the existence of our Gu sect.
They think that the Gu sect has changed now and has become money-worshipping and greedy. In fact, they have all misunderstood us. We really have no choice but to have difficulties..."
Along the way, Ma Wenqiang told Qin Hai many examples, most of which were about how the Gu sect helped the Miao family, how many ways the Gu sect had thought of, how much suffering it had suffered, what kind of setbacks it had experienced, etc. Qin Hai said all the way
They listened more and spoke less, and didn't express much opinions.
Unconsciously, an hour passed. Ma Wenqiang suddenly stopped, pointed to the mountain in front and said, "Mr. Qin, the mountain in front is where our Gu Sect's headquarters is located."
Qin Hai looked in the direction of Ma Wenqiang's finger. There were many tall trees growing on the mountain, but among the dense trees, there were some red roofs vaguely exposed.
"It seems very impressive!" Qin Hai said casually.
Ma Wenqiang smiled and said: "This used to be a gymnasium. It is said that it was built under the order of a certain royal relative. It was very grand. However, it later fell into disrepair and lost its incense. We just used it as our headquarters."
Ma Wenqiang made a gesture and invited Qin Hai to go up the mountain with him. Not long after, the group finally arrived at the top of the mountain, and the Gu Sect headquarters completely appeared in front of them.
Judging from the architectural style, it is indeed very similar to the Taoist temple. There is also a small square paved with blue bricks at the entrance, with a lot of moss growing on it, which looks very vicissitudes of life.
After entering the courtyard gate, there is a main hall in the middle. There are other temples on the left and right sides and behind the main hall. There are a total of seven or eight temples, which shows that this Taoist temple was indeed not small at the beginning.
Qin Hai visited the Gu Sect headquarters under the leadership of Ma Wenqiang. What surprised him was that there were not many people here. Except for the people they just went up the mountain, there were only less than five people in total, and most of them
They are all middle-aged and elderly people in their fifties and sixties.
Ma Wenqiang explained: "Mr. Qin doesn't know something. This is just where our Gu Sect headquarters is located. Usually most of our Gu Sect people don't stay here. Those people you just saw are mainly here to clean.
Sanitary, or cook. We Gu sect people each perform their own duties and usually have their own things to do. Unless there are some more important activities, such as at the end of the year, everyone will return here from various places to gather."
Qin Hai nodded, indicating that he understood, and then asked: "Then is your Master Peng here now?"
Ma Wenqiang smiled and said: "Since I brought you here, it's naturally because Master Peng is here now. Master Peng comes to the headquarters every time he retreats, so I brought you here directly. But I asked just now, we
Sect Master Peng’s retreat this time is more important. He once ordered not to disturb him today, so I can only help you to ask tomorrow."
"It doesn't matter, then I'll just wait here!" Qin Hai said.
Ma Wenqiang smiled and said: "Mr. Qin is really a noble man, which is admirable. In fact, if our leader Peng knew that you were coming, he would definitely come out to see you immediately. What he most hopes to meet is a hero like you. I believe you will meet him."
After meeting, we will definitely have a very interesting chat.”
Speaking of this, Ma Wenqiang sighed and said: "Our Lord Peng really tried every means for the Miao family and our Gu sect. In addition to arranging for us to go down the mountain to complete a series of tasks, he himself also took the lead and tried his best to do his best.
Make friends from all walks of life, hoping to gain greater support. So if he knows that heroes like you, Mr. Qin, have deigned to come to our Gu Sect, he will definitely be very happy."
