Seeing Zhu Longxi's behavior, Old Man Gu sneered in his heart: Just keep pretending! He hugged his fists as a return gift. Although the other party was an important figure in Chaotian Palace, in the eyes of Old Man Gu, who had already planned to go to sea, it was nothing.
The usefulness can only be judged based on the cultivation level of Jindan. To the Jindan monk, it is considered very polite for him to return the favor with fists.
Zhu Longxi smiled and asked: "Lao Gu, what happened to what I said before?"
Old Man Gu said: "The Xiu'an in Henan has been closed. I will go to Hangzhou in two days, and the one in Zhejiang has also been closed. Everything is going according to the requirements of the Shangsan Palace. It's just that now there is a lack of housing money...
.You also know that the people under my command have worked hard for so many years. It is not easy to dismiss them with just one sentence. What’s more, they all come from overseas and are basically desperadoes."
Zhu Longxi nodded, took out a wooden box from his pocket, opened it and showed it to Old Man Gu. There was a stack of silver notes neatly placed inside.
Old Man Gu stretched out his hand to take it, but Zhu Longxi didn't take it. He closed the box and asked, "Abbot Zhao of Xuantan Palace, what do you plan to do with Old Man Gu?"
Old Man Gu said: "I won't hide it from you. I had planned it once before, but he avoided it. It was predicted that he would be lucky that time, and he happened to be traveling with Chen Tianshi. We really couldn't make a move. But don't worry, within three days
, he will die without a burial place!"
Zhu Longxi nodded and secretly thought that Gu agreed so readily that he was undoubtedly preparing to escape, and he would definitely slip away within three days. He looked behind Old Gu and asked, "Where are the senior disciples of Old Gu?"
Old Man Gu said: "Master Zhu's status is so noble and important. Let those incompetent disciples just wait at home and not dare to contradict him."
Zhu Longxi nodded with a smile: "Then, I will just wait for the good news from Lao Gu?" Then he threw the box of silver notes over.
Old Man Gu took it and inspected it a few times. Seeing that it was not false, he clasped his fists and said goodbye, boarded the boat, and returned to the south bank.
After getting off the boat, Old Man Gu felt that Zhu Longxi behind him did not make any move, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and walked around the messy fishing village on the riverside several times. He thought that even if someone was watching, he should get rid of it, and then entered.
Go to a small courtyard that they used to hide in.
Soon, four disciples arrived together.
Old Man Gu asked: "Is the road back clear?"
Several disciples expressed that there were no people from the Shangsan Palace following them, so everyone started to talk freely. The main discussion was whether the overseas casual cultivators recruited by Xiu'an from various places should be demobilized, or should they all be transferred to Shuangyu Island?
To the beautiful girls in Xiu'an, do you want to tell them your next destination? Most of these beautiful girls were bought and trained by Xiu'an at a young age. They have been trained for more than ten years, and many people will follow them.
Go to the East China Sea, but there are also many show girls who must yearn for a free life. The incidents of show girls escaping every few years are clear evidence. According to the boss's estimation, if it is stated that they want to go to sea, at least half of them will run away.
Old man Gu has been undecided about this. The reason for his indecision is that during the preliminary selection of beautiful girls who have been trained by Taoist secret methods, they try to find those with qualifications or basic skills. Those who have both have been sent to the upper three.
The palace has gone, and the rest is somewhere between the secular world and the spiritual realm. If measured by the realm of spiritual practice, it can be called Taoism, but it has not reached the Taoist realm. Such a beautiful woman who has been approved to be a monk, if she really wants to escape, she can still
It is really a troublesome thing. When something goes wrong on the road, it will be quite difficult.
In the past, Old Man Gu would not have considered this issue. According to Duan Chaoyong's instructions from the Apparition Palace, he had to "dispose of them all". If you don't want to go? Then I'm sorry...
But after the labor reform, the ideas of Mr. Gu and his disciples have changed. Especially after getting the practice certificate signed "Gu Kexue", Mr. Gu suddenly felt that the previous days were too tiring and too gloomy. Most of them
His life has been very abnormal. He has even made up his mind to call himself Gu Kexue from now on, and become a casual cultivator in the East China Sea, the owner of Shuangyu Island. From now on, he will bid farewell to the dark life in the past and live a normal practice.
Life.
When you have free time, chat with Taoist Yang, the Fourteenth Lord and others, make appointments, fish for pearls, explore secrets, or fight in battles with passion and passion. You can also go to the Central Plains to discuss with Mo Buping and the others.
Playing football games and studying lottery tickets, wouldn’t these days be hundreds of times better than now?
Now that we want to live under the blue sky and white clouds, we can no longer mention those methods in the past. If we want to be clean, we must bid farewell to the darkness.
In the end, Old Man Gu made up his mind: "Let's make it clear, if you want to go, you can go. If you don't want to go, we will let them go and find their own way out."
The third child asked: "How can we pay for the island purchase from Taoist Wutong?"
Old Man Gu said: "I'll go and talk to him. Either extend the term and return it for ten years, or promise him to use the money to invest in shares, and we will give half of Xiu'an to him. He has mentioned to me before that he plans to invest 300,000 taels in shares.
Half of the share, and now the price is almost reduced by half, what is there to be dissatisfied with? It really doesn’t work, we don’t want Shuangyu Island anymore, I don’t believe it, the East China Sea is thousands of miles away, and we can’t buy even one island? With the ability of our masters and disciples, we can grab
Grab one too!"
The disciples nodded. One alchemist, one master, three mages, plus dozens of casual cultivators recruited from various monasteries, this force is indeed enough to occupy a spiritual island in the East China Sea.
The fourth child said: "Let's have a little more hardship in the early days, and life will definitely get better and better in the future! I still have more than a thousand taels of private money here, and I am willing to spend it all!"
"I also have two thousand here!"
"Eight hundred taels!"
"One thousand six hundred taels!"
Old Man Gu smiled happily, took out the wooden box Zhu Longxi gave him, opened it and said: "There are still ten thousand here! As long as our master and disciples work together, nothing is impossible!"
The boss reached into the box, took out the banknotes, and scattered them on the table. The disciples couldn't help but touch them. These silvers would be the guarantee for them to create the foundation of the East China Sea.
While he was counting, Old Man Gu suddenly froze, held one of the banknotes in front of his eyes, looked at it twice, and said in shock: "Nine Palaces Mystery Talisman!" He made a secret with both hands and burned the banknote to ashes.
The disciples reacted quickly. They had used this talisman to chase Zhao Ran before, so how could they not know its purpose?
Old Man Gu secretly regretted it. He really should have listened to his apprentice, not to be greedy for the money, and left quietly. How could he cause such a big trouble! This Zhu Longxi was really willing to give up, and actually used such a precious talisman against himself.
Presumably, he was determined to kill and silence him.
The five masters and apprentices were about to go out and escape when they heard a sudden explosion, smoke and dust rose, and a wall of the house had been smashed down by a hammer!
Fortunately, the five masters and disciples themselves were good at assassination, and their skills were very agile. They were alert for a moment in advance, and broke through the wall from the other side in a matter of seconds.
The magic hammer hit the house hard, and wherever the magic power swept through, the tables, chairs, and beds were all shattered!
