Chapter three hundred and eighty seventh lifting the hatred
ps: Thanks to the book friend, my name is Su Xinyan and I believe you can give me a reward of 10,000 starting coins. There are too many messages in the background, so I’m sorry that I missed this book friend’s reward.
Of course Yuande didn't know Gu Cheng, but he was very happy to see that Gu Cheng was willing to reconcile with Shenxiao Pilitang and stop causing trouble in Jiangnan County.
Looking at Gu Cheng's sincere eyes (o???), Yuande immediately agreed: "When will retribution be repaid? It's really the best thing for Mr. Gu to have such an idea. I will accept this matter."
.”
The biggest hobby of these monks is to persuade people to put down their butcher knives. At this time, there is an opportunity to wipe out the grudges between Gu Cheng and Shenxiao Pilitang. This is a great merit in his opinion, and it also shows his great mighty virtue.
Good time for temple status.
Don’t you see, now that Gu Chengdu has become the supervisor, wouldn’t he also come to Yuande to be the intermediary? This is a symbol of status.
With this mentality, Yuande agreed and immediately took Gu Cheng to Jin's house to find Jin Wanshan.
After hearing about this, Jin Wanshan also agreed.
In fact, he didn't want to see Gu Cheng and Shenxiao Pilitang fighting to the death.
The Jin family's current strategy is to focus on developing their own strength, so how can they have time to do things?
But the martial arts community in Jiangnan County is monolithic. Regardless of whether they are of one mind or not, as soon as the faction encounters a problem, other forces will also come to help. This is a rule that has been passed down for five hundred years, and they must abide by it.
Therefore, if Gu Cheng confronts Shenxiao Pilitang, the Jin family will intervene even if they don't want to. It would be best for both parties to reconcile at this time.
Although Shenxiao Pili Hall is named a hall, it is actually built on a hill to the north of Jinling Mansion.
Walking all the way up the mountain, every hundred steps there will be a group of buildings, all of which are prepared for the disciples of Shenxiao Pili Hall.
Compared with other sects, the number of disciples of Shenxiao Pili Hall is a bit large, with tens of thousands of disciples.
Because of its techniques, Shenxiao Pilitang can be regarded as a pseudo-martial arts method for dual cultivation of Qi and Qi. You can practice it even if you don’t have the talent for dual cultivation, but it would be better if you do.
Therefore, the Shenxiao Pili Hall adopts the method of casting a wide net when selecting disciples. Disciples can be said to be all comers, and they are selected one level at a time. At the top level, they are the real elites of the Shenxiao Pili Hall.
There is actually nothing wrong with this strict leveling routine. Even Jingyesi follows this routine. Once you reach a certain level, you will naturally receive a certain level of treatment.
But in Gu Cheng's view, there are some problems with this kind of routine when applied to Shenxiao Pilitang, because Shenxiao Pilitang is not strong enough.
Jingyesi has gathered talents from all over the world and has enough resources to support him, so he is qualified to play this kind of trick.
If the scale of your Shenxiao Pili Hall is to do this, it will cause the dispersion of power. It is not as cost-effective as most sects to only select a few disciples with excellent talents and focus on training.
No wonder Shenxiao Pili Hall has tried to leave Jiangnan County for so many years but has not. There is something fundamentally wrong with their model.
All the way to the top of the mountain, Elder Lin heard that Yuan De and others were coming and hurriedly came out to greet them. However, unexpectedly, he saw Gu Cheng again. He couldn't help but frowned and said, "Gu Cheng, what are you doing here?"
Before Gu Cheng could speak, Yuande clasped his hands together and said, "Elder Lin, Mr. Gu is here to resolve his enmity with you, Shenxiao Pilitang. If there is anything we need to discuss slowly, we don't have to get so excited right away."
Elder Lin was calm at first, but when he heard what Yuan De said, he suddenly became excited: "Remove the grudge? A grandmaster elder and dozens of young disciples of my Shenxiao Pili Hall died in his hands, but you
Tell me to resolve the grudge?
There is no way to resolve this grudge and it will not end until death!"
Seeing that Elder Lin didn't even give him face, Yuande frowned slightly.
"Elder Lin, Mr. Gu came here with sincerity, that's why he called me and the head of the Jin family. If there is anything we need to discuss first, we don't have to talk it out right away, right?
Besides, Elder Lin, although you are senior, you are still just an elder. Where is the Duan Master of your Shenxiao Pili Hall? Why should he make the decision on this matter?"
Jin Wanshan also said: "Yes, regardless of whether the hatred can be resolved, you have to let people talk first."
Seeing that both Yuande and Jin Wanshan had this attitude, even though Elder Lin was unwilling, he had no choice but to snort and send everyone to the back of the meeting hall to invite the master of Shenxiao Pili Hall.
Less than half a quarter of an hour later, the master of Shenxiao Pili Hall arrived.
Gu Cheng, the master of Shenxiao Pili Hall, had learned about it from Wang Qingchuan before.
This man's name was Duan Kun, nicknamed Wuji Thunderbolt Hand. When Gu Cheng heard this name, he subconsciously wanted to ask him if he had a senior brother named Cheng Kun.
This hall master is a well-known seclusion madman, who believes that hard work can make up for weakness. In his early years, his talent in the Shenxiao Pili Hall was not very good. It was only through diligence that he was able to overcome obstacles and defeat his peers, and finally won the hall master.
s position.
After becoming the leader of the hall, he also went into seclusion frequently in order to maintain his absolute strength and control the sect.
In Gu Cheng's opinion, this person is probably a bit stubborn.
It is true to control the sect with your true strength, but the problem is that you have been in seclusion all year round, leaving the sect to others to take care of, and you have not enjoyed the power of being the leader, but you are in seclusion to maintain your strength.
To control the sect through growth, what are you trying to accomplish by going around in a big circle?
"Master Yuande and Brother Jin, long time no see."
A tall middle-aged man stepped into the lobby with a roar like thunder. His whole body was full of energy and blood, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
Duan Kun's strength is not weak, it has reached the peak of the fifth level. Of course, in other words, he has closed himself off to the point of becoming a demon. If he does not have this kind of strength, his talent will be too poor.
Yuande and Jin Wanshan greeted each other, but they were both speechless.
They are so close to each other that they can arrive within two hours of each other. However, they have not seen each other for several months. Sometimes it is normal not to see each other for even a year or two, but it is considered a long time no see.
.
At this time, Duan Kun turned his gaze to Gu Cheng, his eyes widened in anger, and he said in a cold voice: "Are you Gu Cheng? The Gu Cheng who killed the elders of my Shenxiao Pili Hall and the disciples of my Shenxiao Pili Hall?
You actually dare to come to my God's Thunderbolt Hall and act so arrogantly, do you really think that since you are a member of the imperial court, I won't dare to kill you?"
As he said that, Duan Kun's whole body exploded with lightning, and there was a sound of thunderbolts exploding in the void, and his momentum surged toward Gu Cheng in an instant.
There was a hint of coldness in Gu Cheng's eyes, but he lowered his head and did not show it.
At this time, Yuande sighed and recited the Buddha's name: "Master Duan, Mr. Gu also came here this time to resolve this grudge with Shenxiao Pili Hall. Please let him finish his words."
Yuande's qualifications are very senior in the Jiangnan County martial arts world, and behind him is the entire Yamantaka Temple, so Duan Kun also wants to give him face.
Hearing this, Duan Kun also snorted coldly and said: "Resolve the grudge? I, Shenxiao Pili Hall, have so many lives, how can you resolve it?"
Gu Cheng said slowly: "Hall Master Duan, you can't help yourself when you are in the world. You, Shenxiao Pili Hall, chose the third prince, and I had a grudge against the third prince. At that time, you intervened in the battle for the throne, and so did I.
Have no idea.
However, I am the one who kills people, and it is better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies. Today I brought Master Yuande and the head of the Jin family to resolve this grudge.
The lives of a grandmaster and those young disciples are indeed very precious, but they are all dead, but you people in Shenxiao Pili Hall are still alive. As long as there is enough time, what I give you can even allow you to create something new.
A master is coming."
Duan Kunyi frowned: "What?"
Gu Cheng said solemnly: "I can decide on the share of Jiangnan County's imperial water transportation and give it to you 90%! As compensation, Shenxiao Pili Hall will get 50%, the Great Weide Vajra Temple and the Jin family will each get 20%, and the remaining
The next 10% was returned to the imperial court as the basis for maintaining water transportation.
You guys don’t have to do anything, you just need to send some low-level disciples to the water transport terminal to set up a flag to escort them, and then sit back and collect money every month. I wonder if this income is enough to relieve the hatred between you and me?"
After hearing Gu Cheng's words, everyone present was stunned.
It’s not that Gu Cheng’s conditions are not enough, it’s that his conditions are too generous!
Jiangnan County is prosperous, but if you say the most profitable business and the fastest way to make money, it must be water transportation.
The Chuyuan River traverses the Central Plains, and the south and north of the Yangtze River are important roads, so the water transport business is the most developed. Ships passing through are carded for transshipment, river escorts, etc. can be said to be businesses that bring in money like water.
It's just that Jiangnan County's water transportation business is controlled by only two families. One is naturally the imperial court, and the other is the reckless gangs outside Jiangnan County.
Needless to say, the imperial court had special docks in the state capitals along the river for transshipment and unloading. There were also checkpoints on the main roads to collect fees for crossing the river. And after paying the money, some water bandits on the Chuyuan River did not dare to touch the imperial court.
people.
The Jianghu forces in Jiangnan County were not very strong, so no giants or thieves were born. As long as they were boats flying the imperial flag, the small-scale water bandits simply did not dare to touch them.
The Cao Mang gangs on the outskirts of Jiangnan County ate the rest of the imperial court's share.
Although their wharf is small, the price of transshipment escort is also low. Some merchants don't want to pay tolls, so they go to these rough gangs and let them escort the passage through some tributary rivers. Those water bandits and bandits don't dare to touch them.
, although it takes some effort, but the money is less.
Therefore, the imperial court was able to share 70% of the entire water transportation, and the remaining 30% belonged to these reckless gangs.
This kind of business can only be done close to the Chuyuan River. Jinling Mansion certainly has no chance in the hinterland of Jiangnan.
Similarly, the imperial court's water transport business was also controlled by Jing Yesi and used as basic funds. But now Gu Cheng actually said that he would give it all to them?
