Chapter 31: Building the Pavilion
Regardless of Mr. He's victory or defeat, Gu Zuo finally got what he wanted - Bantou Ji's case was merged into the Dong Zuo fraud case by the county. Gu Zuo was classified as self-protection and took off the suspect's
hat.
This is the biggest gain! In addition, there are also incidentals.
When Jin Zongfeng asked Gu Zuo what he needed, Gu Zuo said humbly: "I am satisfied that I can keep Gu safe. How dare you expect anything more?"
Jin Gongfeng smiled and said: "Then this is how I reply to Mr. He?"
Gu Zuo said casually: "What, I have some ideas. Huaixian Hall is only a gymnasium listed in the county's deputy register. It is not registered in the county. Strictly speaking, it does not comply with the regulations. Longrui Palace investigated it years ago
Once, seven or eight houses were swept across the county. I'm worried that if there is another sweep, my livelihood will be in trouble."
Jin Chongfeng nodded: "Huaixian is very worried. In this case, I will go and talk to the boss."
Gu Zuo attaches great importance to the formalization and legalization of the gym. This is an obsession that is deeply engraved in his bones. Now that the danger he is facing has been lifted and his net worth is clean again, of course he wants to solve the problem of Huaixian Hall ticket.
Question. Only by making Huaixian Hall a Shangming Road, becoming a regular Taoist temple on the list of the County Zhongfa Department, and being listed in the "Tianxia Sect Book" compiled by Chongxuan Office, can he sleep well and eat well.
Jin Chongfeng also understood this, and before going to report to Mr. He, he teased Gu Zuo: "If you cross the Ming Road, you will have to pay taxes to the county. Can you bear it every month?"
Gu Zuo said with an upright face: "It is the responsibility of every monk to pay food and gifts, and Gu is bound to do so." In fact, he had already thought about it, even if there were no more Dong Xianwei, Ji Bantou, Chen Liu and Jiang Qi
, I’m afraid Huaixian Pavilion is still on the run.
Without the county's collection, when the He family truly lives in seclusion and Jin Gong goes away, Li Liu, Wang Qi and the like may come to visit and pay money. It's better to hand it over to the county and get Huaixian in exchange.
The pavilion has a formalized thoroughfare.
I don't want to be a wild cultivator. For now, only Huaixian Pavilion is the best place for me to live.
To be on the county roster, it must be reviewed by Longrui Palace. To become a regular gym, it must meet the requirements. In addition to the monthly gym fees, what is more important is the unique system of inheritance of exercises and local officials.
, Recommended by someone with a good reputation.
Gu Zuo wouldn't have thought about these things before, but now he could give it a try.
The period of Mr. He's retirement is an important period of exchange of interests for all parties. It can be said that there will be no next shop in this village. Gu Zuo is an important party in the civet cat incident. I can't say that he has devoted himself to the He family, at least he has done everything before and after.
, he wants a regular ticket from Huaixian Pavilion, which is not difficult for Mr. He.
Mr. He is now a "reputable high-ranking official". He wrote a letter personally and asked Duke Wei Guo to come forward as a recommender. This satisfied him as a "local official".
The only thing that made Gu Zuo a little uneasy was the "unique inheritance of skills". He didn't know if his "Soul Searching Technique" counted or was it consistent? If he bites the bullet and reports it, he will be investigated by Long Rui Palace.
, it’s just a popular product that many sects meet, so that’s ridiculous.
Furthermore, he is still just a small Qi practitioner, and the origin of the technique can only be blamed on Wang Hengyi. When writing the application, he could only add a note to Wang Hengyi's note: Go south.
He expanded his territory and disappeared without a trace.
This is Wang Daozhang voluntarily included in the list of missing persons. I just hope that Wang Daozhang will not be offended.
During the two days of waiting for someone from Longrui Palace to check, Gu Zuo was very uneasy, but Jin Zongfeng comforted him not to worry.
In fact, as Jin Zongfeng said, two Taoist priests came to Longrui Palace and only checked the He family's old house for one day before leaving.
In fact, it didn't even take a day to check, it just took a moment.
"Are you Gu Zuo?"
"yes."
"The name of the exercise is "Souling Jue"?"
"yes."
"Demonstrate it."
So Gu Zuo demonstrated in front of the two Taoist priests the Soul Searching Qi and the two methods of using Soul Searching Qi: the technique of chasing and the technique of short sword. The third kind of talisman technique, Gu Zuo did not arrive at the building.
At the basic level, it cannot be used at all and can only be briefly described.
The demonstration ends here.
The two Taoist priests looked at each other, then turned around and muttered under a tree in the distance for a long time. Gu Zuo stayed there, feeling anxious.
After a while, the two Taoist priests came back, took out paper and pen and started recording.
"Huaixian Pavilion, the martial art "Sou Ling Jue" is inherited from Yin Zu and has evolved over thousands of years. It is divided into three Taoist techniques: the chasing and shooting method, the pointing knife method, and the alchemy method. It can be included in the sect's list."
After finishing writing, he handed it to Gu Zuo: "Do you think it's okay?"
Inherited from Yin Zu? What the hell? What the hell is the thousand-year evolution? The finger-knife technique was directly renamed, which sounds a bit more upscale, but what the hell is the alchemy technique?
"Is this... okay?"
"What if?"
"That's it." Gu Zuo didn't care, but blushed slightly.
The whole review process was so simple. The two Taoist priests spent the rest of the time visiting Mr. He, and Gu Zuo never saw him again. He told Jin Chongfeng about the matter and wanted to confirm it again for reassurance. Jin Chongfeng smiled.
He said: "Don't worry, it's as simple as that. What else can you do about a gym recommended by Mr. He and Duke Wei and approved by the Sima Supervisory Academy? According to me, Longrui Palace doesn't even need to send anyone here!"
For this, Gu Zuo didn't know how to be grateful.
Jin Gongfeng sighed and said, "After you finish this matter, it's time for me to leave."
A few days later, Longrui Palace processed the official certificates for Gu Zuo's Huaixian Pavilion, which was regarded as a file in the Kuaiji County Justice Department and became an official monastery. At the same time, it also approved three Taoist certificates.
Zuo Ben also received the coveted ultimatum and became a serious monk.
When the card tickets arrived, the He family also paid thirty-six crowns of royalties for Gu Zuo, equivalent to three years' salary. Gu Zuo felt very sad about this. It would have been nice if the money had been handed over to him first!
Thirty-six dollars is a huge sum of money. The He family gave so much in one breath, which also meant that the kindness was settled at once. Gu Zuo knew it very well.
…
A heavy snow fell from the sky, and the sky and the earth were completely white. The awning boat docked at the dock of the He family's old house, waiting for the golden offering to board the boat.
Gu Zuo brought the gold offering to the side of the ship, cupped his hands and said, "I wish you a safe journey, senior."
Jin Gongfeng looked back at the old house of the He family shrouded in snowflakes, and said with a wry smile: "I wanted to live here so that I could accomplish something, but I didn't want to end up in a mirror in just six months, and have to start all over again."
Gu Zuo comforted and encouraged: "If the heart is there, the dream is there. With the heroic spirit of my predecessors, I will definitely soar to the sky when I arrive in Chang'an."
Jin Gongfeng shook his head: "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in Chang'an, it's hard to say whether we can stay here smoothly... What a pity."
The He family moved to Jinghu Lake and dispersed. From then on, they were no longer concerned with worldly affairs. Most of the guests in the curtain left, and the three cultivators and worshipers were all dismissed. Bai Chongfeng was preparing to return to his master's family, Zhang Chongfeng planned to go to Hebei, and Jin Chongfeng wanted to go west to Chang'an.
, the huge family power fell into disrepair.
The boat slid into the river, and Jin Chongfeng stood on the bow and said, "When I gain a foothold in Beijing, I will invite Huaixian to accompany me to Chang'an."
