Chapter 32 The Subtle Attitude
Huaixian Pavilion has become a formal gym, ranking among the two sects and four museums in Shanyin County. In addition, he has also obtained a Taoist certificate, so Gu Zuo has made a big road in his practice.
When the He family was separated from the restaurant, Gu Zuo also received a fee of 10,000 yuan. Although he did not have the name of worship, he actually enjoyed the treatment of worship.
When Jin Gongfeng left, Gu Zu used the money to buy him ten spirit stones. The first thing he did was to go back to Xiaogu Mountain to retreat. He erected a wooden sign in front of the mountain road, engraved the four big words "Don't disturb the retreat", and Gu Zuo began to practice.
This retreat lasted for two months.
After two months of practice, the improvement brought by practice is very obvious. The spiritual-successed true qi in the sea of Qi has condensed and formed. When wandering between the meridians, it is like a silk belt about a foot long. Compared with the past, it can be called "thick mana". It can easily reach more than one meter of height with energy and leaping upwards.
In addition to absorbing spirit stones, Gu Zuo is also practicing chasing and fingering skills.
When using the pursuit technique, the perception range has expanded to about a meter. Now, I am at least 30% sure if I want to find any lost items.
When using the finger knife technique, the sharp knife in the palm of his palm has a sharp sword light. If he meets a Qi Refiner like Ji Bantuo, even if he can't win, he will no longer be as powerful as before.
In addition to the pursuit technique and fingering technique, "Su Ling Jue" also comes with a third practical spell, which is also the most enviable spell of Gu Zuo - the alchemy technique named by Long Rui Palace.
The talisman method is very useful and can be used by the power of heaven, earth and all things, and it is very powerful. I heard that there are several high-level talismans in Chongxuan Station, and the world changes color when one talisman comes out. According to Gu Zuo's understanding, it is similar to holding a pry stick and shouting "Give me a fulcrum"!
However, the basis of the practice talisman method is the realm of cultivation, and it is difficult to implement it without foundation building. Although Gu Zuo's cultivation has made great progress, he is still in the stage of Qi Refining Master, and has not left the "early stage" level. He is still far from the "latest stage" and the subsequent "perfect breakthrough".
The sign of the transformation from the early stage to the late stage is whether you can see it inward. Gu Zuo can only sense the Qihai Sea and meridians, but he cannot "immerse" to see clearly, so he cannot be considered a late stage of Qi Refining.
As for how many spirit stones you have to absorb and how long it takes to practice to achieve the step of introspection, each kind of exercise is different. Master Wang is not here, so Gu Zuo doesn't know.
During his retreat, Gu Zuo did not go down the mountain for a long time. Although he had little food during his practice, he had been eating up for two months after all, and his previous savings were still eaten up. It is essential to go down the mountain to purchase. After spending all the hundreds of cents, the kitchen was filled. Gu Zuo was very satisfied with the food he had accumulated enough to eat for one month.
Now, it’s time to consider going out to make money. A piece of spirit stone is always money, and making money is always on the road!
How should we make money?
In the past, Gu Zuo had three ways to make money. One was from Chen Liu and Jiang Qi. These two had passed away and were cut off. The second was from the He family, but the He family now lives in seclusion in Jinghu and does not see any foreign guests, so they cannot rely on them. The third was from the Daiyue Pavilion, but when he "interrogated" Wei Changqiu at the He family that day, he offended the owner of the Daiyue Pavilion very much. Now that he comes to him, he is afraid that he will be defeated.
After some calculations, Gu Zuo suddenly realized that he had no way out!
After thinking about it, Gu Zuo decided to go to the county town to meet Zhang Mo first. Zhang Mo has been promoted to the county magistrate of Shanyin County. I wonder if he can take into account his old feelings and give him some care?
Gu Zuo was vaguely afraid of Zhang Mo. After the He family's raccoon incident was completed, he took stock of all the involved people one by one.
Chen Liu, Jiang Qi, Chen Jiu and Ji Bantu died suddenly.
Dong County Wei and Zuo County Magistrate hanged himself in prison for fear of crime.
The He family was forced to live in seclusion and completely disappeared.
Bao Shenjun was demoted to the army for three thousand miles.
Duke Wei and Prefect Xue did not achieve their goal.
County Magistrate Lu’s turn against him can only be considered a successful self-protection for the time being.
If you really want to talk about it, it seems that only Zhang Mo can benefit. Oh, of course, he also has himself.
Even though he is afraid, he can only come to him at this moment. Gu Zuo has different ideas from others. He believes that making money through the government road is also a smooth road.
When he went down the mountain, Gu Zuo was a little regretful. Most of his money was spent on buying spirit stones, and he couldn't take out any decent gifts. After careful consideration, he had to go to Ruoye Creek to check the fish baskets he had gone down two months ago. Fortunately, there were many fish and shrimps swimming in there, so he chose the fat ones to put them in as a gift for meeting. Although it was a little cold, it was better than giving away nothing.
When he came to Zhang Mo's mansion, he presented a fish basket to the door to explain his purpose. The door reluctantly picked up the fish basket and put it in the door. If Gu Zuo had not been a practitioner, he would have thrown it out long ago.
Waiting outside the door for a long time, the door turned out again and said, "My master is not here. If there is any urgent matter, you can go to the yamen to wait for the news."
Thank you, Gu Zuo turned to the county government again. After waiting for him to leave, the door turned back to the back hall and reported to Zhang Mo: "Gu Zuo has left, look at the direction, I guess he is going to the county government."
Zhang Mo nodded and said to the clerk of Xing Cao Song beside him: "Let's go back and see him. If you have anything to stop him, you can't open Zhang. He has been in the mountains for two months. A single-family monk like him cannot save up any savings, and he should be in trouble with money. If you are smarter, it is the right thing to leave Shanyin by yourself. Don't have any worries. Although Duke Wei recommended his name to his gym, he couldn't remember this person at all."
Song Shuli bowed and agreed, and said, "It's better to have someone watch him. When he has no rice to put him in the pot, he might do something stealing. At that time, he will take the lock and exil to the distant place to eliminate future troubles."
Zhang Mo said: "I know your mind. If he really breaks the law and prohibits, he will punish him as much as he should. But if you frame him on purpose, do you think Shangguan will not know? Those clever ones, don't play tricks, otherwise it will harm others and yourself."
Why did Zhang Mo drive Gu Zuo away? Song Shuli knew very well. Zhang Mo was able to take up the throne of county magistrate and then "entered" from then on. Song Shuli himself made great contributions in it.
Song Shuli agreed and was about to go to the yamen. Zhang Mo chased after him again: "You have already approved the documents of the Zhengcao. After you have reported it to the County Court, you can take office immediately. In the future, you will call you Songcao."
Song Shuli was overjoyed and turned around and bowed to thank him: "It depends entirely on your cultivation!"
Song Shuli returned to the yamen and saw Gu Zuo waiting outside the yamen. He entered his own office in Zhengcao, and then started to do business.
When Gu Zuo saw Song Shuli, he first asked Zhang Mo what he did and asked for a visit. He was naturally blocked by Song Shuli's words and went back. In desperation, he asked if there was any matter in Xing Cao's place to serve, and there was no gain.
According to Song Shuli, Shanyin County is stable and peaceful, and there is no need for monks to take action in the near future. Gu Zuo can go back to practice. If something really happens, he will naturally announce it in the county.
Gu Zuo had no choice but to return in a bad mood.
The next day, he went into the city again, but still failed to see the county magistrate Zhang Mo. Instead, there were three squads of servants in the yamen, or the rascals in the county often followed him.
They were sneaky and thought they were following secretly, but they didn't know that Gu Zuo's practice skills were best at sensing and clearly understood their whereabouts. After a few times, Gu Zuo became suspicious. At this time, no matter how stupid he was, he woke up. Zhang Mo deliberately avoided it.
After figuring out Zhang Mo's attitude, and combining Zhang Mo's promotion to county magistrate, Gu Zuo almost guessed some thoughts. Perhaps in the other party's eyes, he was like a thorn? Will he promote his rebellion and two-faced swords at some point?
He really wanted to tell Zhang Mo in person that you are now a county magistrate, and it is too late for me to curry favor with you, how dare you make trouble with you?
But this kind of thing cannot be explained clearly, and Zhang Mo would not give him a chance to say it, and even if he said it, he might not believe it.
