Passing through the crowd, Gu Zuo came to the place where he received his monthly payment.
Although this is not my first time here, I still can't help but be shocked by the majestic palace-like architecture in front of me.
The zenith towers into the clouds, as if to penetrate the sky to get a glimpse of the mystery of heaven; the majestic palace corridor stretches to the far end, and everything you see is dazzling enamel painted window lattice and lifelike marble relief.
In front of the main hall, there is a golden plaque hanging, 'Piao Miao Temple'.
Piaomiao Peak is the most impressive main peak among the five peaks.
There are tens of thousands of disciples in the sect, and there are nearly tens of thousands of people who are eligible to receive the monthly payment.
These people need to hold their identity tokens and receive the corresponding spirit stone materials on the last few days of each month, so a place large enough to accommodate nearly ten thousand people is needed as a pick-up location.
Generally, when other sects come to Qiong Ling Sect for a visit, in addition to going to the Yingbin Hall, they will be led here by the elders to visit this magnificent hall.
Piao Miao Temple is the second face of Qiong Ling Sect.
Compared with it, the Yinzhu Peak where Gu Zuo was located was completely different.
On the one hand, at best it sounds like a simple and simple thing that belongs to nature, but at worst it sounds like an unexplored rural bamboo forest. On the other hand, it is an epic building that has been devoted to, splendid and magnificent.
In front of the square of Piao Miao Shrine, there are hundreds of tables, and at each table sits a disciple who distributes monthly contributions.
In front of the table, there was a Changhong team. They took out the packaged monthly contributions from the Najie, and distributed them after passing the sect identity token verification.
Queuing takes time, but Gu Zuo is different. He is a gate disciple of the main peak, his status is second only to the elders, and he has a special passage.
In the center of the square, there is a long golden table filled with various fruits. There is a lazy chair nearby with an old man sleeping soundly on it.
This is the place where the closed disciples of Qiongling Sect’s main peak receive their monthly offerings. At the end of the month, the master of Piaomiao Peak or the peak master’s disciple Luo Xiyao is in charge.
As for why it is placed in the center, it is also to stimulate ordinary disciples and let them understand that only by continuing to practice, strengthen themselves, and improve their status can they receive treatment like VIPs.
The monthly payment is open and transparent. Is there anyone who is not jealous when seeing others in front of him, without having to queue up, and still receiving a monthly payment far exceeding his value, and even having a few bites of delicious fruit?
It is true that jealousy is a derogatory word, but everyone has this emotion, and as long as it can be used, jealousy will also become a source of motivation.
The sect's method is to rationally use the jealousy of spiritual practitioners to stimulate their desires, thereby invisibly spurring tens of thousands of disciples to devote themselves to cultivation and strive to become famous as soon as possible.
Qiong Ling Sect has developed its own system to this day, and under this sect system, many top spiritual practitioners have been cultivated.
But Gu Zuo himself doesn't like this model...
In the eyes of others, the other disciples who closed the door on the main peak climbed up based on their strength, but he was the only one who had a bad reputation and was disliked by others.
At this time, the jealousy will make those disciples very angry and talk about Gu Zuo privately, causing the already stinking reputation to be stained with a layer of shit again.
Although he didn't care about this, it was not a comfortable thing to have his spine poked in public.
In full view of everyone, Gu Zuo walked towards the big golden table in the center.
Noisy discussions soon started, and some even began to make innuendoes about it.
The innuendo was loud, but it was not common. In the past, although some people discussed it, it was done quietly behind the scenes.
Gu Zuo heard the reputation and realized that the guy lining up in the crowd was none other than Zhou Hang?
He has a Chinese character face and a slightly strong build.
Jiang Jiecheng, who had turned on the taunting mode last time, had already knelt down and called Master, and now another Zhou Hang appeared.
"I'm telling you, some people tried to win the favor of Senior Sister Yueting through a cruel trick, and kidnapped her morally. After seeing no effect, they took away two rare pills of high quality from Senior Sister Yueting.
Yao, how disgusting do you think this behavior is?"
Zhou Hang belittled Gu Zuo at the top of his lungs. Although he did not specify who the "some people" were, anyone who was a disciple of the Qiong Ling Sect would basically know that the "some people" in his mouth referred to Gu Zuo.
Zhou Hang kept emphasizing the disgusting behavior Gu Zuo had done to Senior Sister Yueting.
What kind of misfortune is there to stage a painful plot, and what kind of shameless behavior is there to beg Senior Sister Yueting to become one's Taoist companion...
Anyway, Gu Zuo didn't even remember doing any of these messy things. It was obviously just a bucket of shit being dumped on his head.
Don't underestimate the power of rumors. Gu Zuo himself has a bad reputation. When Zhou Hang said this, everyone looked at him with contempt.
Only some of the disciples who had the mentality to eat melons, but who would never get involved in the rumors themselves, listened silently, treating it as an entertainment project to pass the time. After all, not everyone would show hostility to a person just because of a few words.
Gu Zuo was not angry because of Zhou Hang's slander, but the doubts in his heart became more and more serious.
"Is it really Senior Brother Yu Qilin who instigated them to slander me? But I can't imagine why he would do this?"
"Is it Zhou Hang, the guys who protect Yu Qilin, who spread some unrealistic rumors to discredit themselves out of hatred for themselves?"
"But what is the purpose? Just to vent your dissatisfaction? You are all adults, can your brains really be as stupid as Watt's?"
Shouldn't the plot where people jump out and make gratuitous ridicule at every turn only exist in some YY cool articles?
The spiritual continent he is in is the real world.
"The purpose of smearing my reputation is to make Nalan Yueting hate me? But except for that time when I challenged Cao Hua, I have never taken the initiative to express my kindness to Senior Sister Yueting. I shouldn't..."
The only time she did anything good was when Rong Ziyan used the red-blooded vine pond as a temptation.
Although the Saint is a good woman, Gu Zuo has never had such thoughts.
If something went wrong, there must be a monster. He planned to collect information about Zhou Hang, Jiang Jiecheng and other guys who defended Jade Qilin, and see if there were any secrets if he dug deeper and fell to the ground.
Although spreading rumors will not cause any harm to him, if the relationship between Zhou Hang and Jiang Jiecheng is not that simple, he still needs to put some thought into dealing with it.
Fatal dangers often grow up slowly from inconspicuous things.
As for now, Gu Zuo doesn't care if Zhou Hang insults him, but he won't make it easy for him.
He has plenty of means to teach this shit-mouthing thing a lesson without even having to do it himself.
Gu Zuo took out Zui Sheng Meng Si and opened it. A strong aroma of wine floated around.
The old man on the lazy chair seemed to be sleeping soundly, but in fact he was asleep. He was well aware of everything happening nearby. As an alcoholic, he couldn't have reacted when he smelled such a delicious aroma of wine.
Sure enough, the old man jumped up from his seat like a kangaroo.
"Little guy, I am so happy for you!"
The old man is not an outsider, he is the master of Piaomiao Peak, Elder Tang Yuelin.
This man smelled of alcohol, was unkempt and slovenly, and his clothes were full of oil stains. He looked like a bad old man in his sixties.
"It's a nice jar of wine, but it's a pity that I don't have the heart to enjoy it. Wine tasting requires mood. If you're not in a good mood, how can you open the jar and drink it?"
"Instead of having the bitter wine in your throat and making your heart ache, it's better to drink it slowly, alone, some other time."
In two words, Elder Tang instantly understood what he should do.
The nearby Qiong Ling Sect disciples were not stupid either, muttering that the classic show was about to begin.
Among these disciples, there has long been a 'legend' about Gu Zuo. This is a master who gets along extremely harmoniously with the elders. By means of methods that are difficult for others to understand, he used backdoor methods to successfully rise to the top and become the closed disciple of the main peak...
…
Everyone knows very well what the two sentences just meant.
"Good wine must be shared. If a person enjoys such a wine alone, wouldn't it taste the same? It will be boring and tasteless."
“And by sharing, you can not only enjoy the taste of the wine, but also have a heart-to-heart relationship with your drinking companions!”
Elder Tang touched his beard with a greasy hand, and at the same time moved his 'kind' eyes to Zhou Hang...
Zhou Hang felt cold all over and had an ominous premonition.
