While waiting for Taoist Master Zhi of the Duqiao sect, Gu Zuo asked Su Fen: "Where does your predecessor live?"

Su Fen pointed behind him: "Isn't that? Yunshuitang."

Gu Zuo asked doubtfully: "But the junior has not seen the senior's residence? I don't know which room he lives in. The junior is afraid that he will take the senior's place and offend him."

Su Fen said with a smile: "I can't occupy it. This Yunshui Hall is the realm of cave heaven in Shouyang Mountain. It was transformed by the Tenth Patriarch of Tiangu. When you entered, you only had your own level. When I entered, it was my level again. My level, thank you."

His is Su Zu among the ten ancestors of Tiangu, what about yours?"

"What a humble person."

"Which room do you live in?"

Gu Zuofu: "This junior lives in the main hall."

Su Fen said: "It's the same. You and I live in the same room but don't see each other, but we are actually sleeping in different worlds."

Gu Zuo marveled: "It's really a magical method."

Not long after, Taoist Master Zhiji arrived. He was wearing a large yellow Taoist robe, which was covered with large and small Bagua patterns. He walked with a very strange gait. From a distance, he looked like a big golden butterfly.

, moved from afar.

Su Fen introduced with a smile: "This is Taoist Master Zhi, the leader of the Duqiao Sect. Look at him walking. Does he walk in circles or diagonally? He said that walking like this saves effort."

Gu Zuo didn't understand: "Is this the Duqiao Mountain Kung Fu?"

Su Fen said: "No matter what the technique is, he likes to walk like this, saying that the sky and the earth are round like a ball, moving around the sun and the moon. The sun is the eye of the yang fish, and the moon is the eye of the yin fish. Therefore, when we walk,

You should also follow the trend to save effort."

At this time, Taoist priest Zhi Zhi had already come closer. He heard Su Fen's words and explained to Gu Zuo: "The sky and the earth are like balls. This is my personal experience. As for the sun, moon, yin and yang, fish, I have also observed them for many years, which is in line with the way of heaven."

…”

As he said this, he didn't know when he had a pen in his hand. He picked up a corner of his Taoist robe and found a blank space to draw a Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram.

Only then did Gu Zuo notice that the Bagua diagrams and dense calculations on Taoist Priest Qingji's robe were all drawn by him himself.

After Master Qing finished drawing the Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram, he immediately analyzed the direction of his "fish shape" to Su Fen and Gu Zuo, with various angles and various algorithms, which made Su Fen and Gu Zuo dizzy.

When he thought he had explained clearly and encouraged Gu Zuo to walk the "Butterfly Walk" with him, Su Fen quickly interrupted him and asked what Li Mi had talked about with him, and then pulled him away from the pile of calculations.

came out.

The content of what Li Mi discussed with Taoist Master Zhen was not much different from what he discussed with Su Fen. They just answered a few more questions that the Duqiao faction was concerned about. Therefore, the three of them immersed themselves in a map that Taoist Master Zhen took out.

.

Taking the boundary between Nanzhao and Lingnan Road as the midpoint, Huaixiangguan is in the west, Suxiangguan is in the northeast, and Duqiao sect is in the southwest. The three schools form a tripod. Suxiangguan and Duqiao sect are like giants to the east.

The Luofu sect, Su Fen, and Taoist Master Qingzhi have no intention of bidding for prefectures and counties to the east of Lingnan Road. Therefore, their two plans are to go west and share with Huaixian Pavilion more than 30 miles of western Lingnan Road between them.

Prefectures and counties.

After half an hour of deliberation, Gu Zuo reached a preliminary agreement with the two of them in a daze as Taoist Master Accurately calculated the potential of victory in the world.

Between the Suxian Pavilion and the Duqiao Sect, the north-south boundary is roughly connected by the Nanxun River and Yushui River, and between the two families and the Huaixian Pavilion, the east-west boundary is roughly connected by the Duni River and Manshui River.

In other words, to the west of Duni River and Manshui is Huaixian Guan’s sphere of influence. The prefectures and counties within this area default to Huaixian Guan’s right to bid first. Only when Huaixian Guan explicitly gives up, Suxian Guan and Suxian Guan will

Only Duqiao faction can participate in the auction.

This principle also applies to Su Xian Guan and Du Qiao sects.

The three parties agreed that the prefectures and counties within the sphere of influence of Huaixian Guan include: Tianzhou, Yuzhou, Longzhou, Hanzhou, Tangzhou, Wu'an Prefecture, Tonghaizhao, Heishanma, and Nanwu Prefecture.

As for the territory on the Central Guizhou Road in the north, they did not mention it, because there is the Chenshan Sect in central Guizhou, which ranks sixteenth in the world, and there is little hope of taking over that area.

This land is very large, larger than the default spheres of influence of Suxianguan and Duqiaoshan combined, but the number of states and counties and population are far inferior. According to the precise Taoist priest's estimate, the population is about 600,000.

Each of their two families has more than one million.

Although the bidding is only for cultivation jurisdiction, people with cultivation talents often account for one-tenth of the total population, and almost one of every three to four talented people can enter the threshold of cultivation. These are all in charge of cultivation.

The basis of jurisdiction cannot be ignored.

As for a large number of people who have entered the threshold of spiritual practice and are unable to grow into monks due to various reasons such as resources or luck, that is another matter.

The three of them looked at this map endlessly for a long, long time. This game of drawing circles on the map has been a favorite of people with lofty ideals in the world since ancient times. Although the three of them have great differences in cultivation, they still have a lot to do with it.

It's good, but it doesn't make any difference.

After returning to Yunshuitang in the evening, Gu Zuo began to think about the issue of Nanliuzhao. Su Fen and Taoist Master Qingzhi admitted that Heishanzhao and Tonghaizhao belonged to the sphere of influence of Huaixianguan, but their mere recognition was not enough to guarantee that Gu Zuo

Zuo was able to win two edicts.

Tonghaizhao is located in the southeast of Heishanzhao, and the situation is slightly better, but Heishanzhao is more serious. It is adjacent to Qingchengzhao to the northwest, and to Luofuzhao to the northeast. No matter which one is a giant, if people like Heishanzhao, they will fight for it.

Their financial resources may not be as strong as their hundreds of years of wealth.

Gu Zuo hoped that both the Qingcheng Sect and the Luofu Sect would focus on the location of the mountain gate of their sect, such as the central and northern parts of Jiannan Road for the Qingcheng Sect, and the east of Lingnan Road for the Luofu Sect, and not spend too much energy on the Southern Sixth Edict.

But it’s unreliable to rely on others, so you still have to find a way.

While he was thinking hard, a Taoist priest knocked on the door knocker of Yunshui Hall: "Master Gu of Huaixian Pavilion, Master Li invites you to meet at the sutra-lecturing platform."

Gu Zuo took a deep breath, stood up, and secretly thought it was finally my turn!

The sermon platform is located in the southeastern mountain col, surrounded by mountains on all sides. Climb the nine stone steps and step into the huge stone platform with carved jade railings. There are two futons in the center. The great master Li Li, who is in charge of the daily affairs of Chongxuan Department,

He was sitting on it.

Gu Zuo had never seen Li Mi. When reinforcements arrived that day, he was already seriously injured and unconscious; Li Mi had never seen Gu Zuo either. He was seriously injured after the two great heavenly masters killed the great demon. He escorted him back to Zhongnan Mountain to heal his injuries.

Although we haven't met each other, we all know something about each other.

Li Mi pointed to the futon opposite him and invited Gu Zuo to take a seat. The two were silent for a moment, and Li Mi said: "This is the sutra-lecturing platform. The Supreme Being is here to lecture Yin Zu and pass on the "Tao De Zhen".

A thousand words.”

Gu Zuo looked around and thought about how many years ago, Laojun and Guan Yinzi sat opposite each other. One was talking, the other was listening silently, one was explaining the way of heaven, and the other was learning from the teachings. This created the human religion so that even mortals could pursue the pursuit.

The wonder of creation cannot help but fascinate me.

Li Mi then pointed to the top of the Sifang Mountain: "This is the alchemy furnace, the place where the Supreme Master made alchemy... This is the Caolou Temple, where our Taoist ancestors built the thatched house and lived there... Over there is the Woniu Pond..."

Gu Zuo followed his instructions and asked: "Where is the statue of the old gentleman? I want to offer incense and worship."

Li Mi smiled and shook his head: "Many people want to build the Laojun Temple here, but the Chongxuan Office has not yet been built. The Tenth Patriarch thought that sitting here, he has the Supreme Being in his heart, so why bother with this? It is unnatural."
