Chapter 125 (1/2)
The town is not as mixed as sword town. On the surface, it looks comfortable and harmonious! There are many people going in and out. Only after asking about it can we know that this place has become a rare place to avoid disasters during the southwest rebellion. Many rich families and villagers have moved here, which further promoted the prosperity of this place. Therefore, the arrival of Zhang Zhou is not conspicuous.
Zhang Zhou was not in a hurry to climb the mountain. After arranging his entourage, he wandered around the town with Chen Chaoying according to the old habit. When he was tired, he sat in a teahouse and listened to people talking about interesting things from all over the world!
In the teahouse, most of the local elders remind Zhang Zhou of the scene of the Eight Banners left behind in the TV series and crowded in the teahouse to discuss state affairs.
”It's said that senior Xun Qingzi won't last long. The big people invited by Wushen town are helpless!”
Xun Qingzi is Shi Zhen's master. This topic can naturally attract Zhang Zhou's attention.
”According to the number of years, Xun Qingzi is also 90 years old!”
”Alas, so the position of the elder is about to change!”
”I'm afraid I'll have to deal with it again!”
There are all kinds of comments, but the overall theme can be summarized into two points, which affirms Xun Qingzi's imminent death; Then it is to express concern and pay close attention to the possible rights struggle!
An old man seemed a little excited and his voice was higher: ”when I was on the mountain, the old leader taught me to do his duty. How could there be such a situation?”
Then several voices cooperated and said, ”that is, we don't care about anything now. If this goes on, the 200 year foundation of wuxia mountain will be destroyed!”
”I think we old guys should not sit idly by. We should jointly give it to the Presbyterian to persuade the leader to teach, or just...”
Although it is not stated clearly, everyone knows what it means! Zhang Zhou is a little surprised! It's different from what he thought. It's very different.
He felt that as an expert like Gu Xuanji, even if he didn't care about anything, he would be respected by the martial arts mountain. How could he think that these old guys would dare to make such blatant remarks in broad daylight before they were in public!
Where did he think that such a situation was the result of a little accumulation in nearly 20 years! Gu Xuanji doesn't take care of things very much. He usually ignores such comments. Coupled with some high-level exaggeration and dissatisfaction, he gradually develops this ”fearless” freedom of speech.
At this time, a very angry voice said: ”hum, a group of things that sit and eat and wait to die. He knows how to talk. Why? Can't stand loneliness? Don't think about it. Without a leader, how can you fart and have fun here now!”
At first, the excited old man was very angry at the speech, stood up and asked the speaker, ”who do you say farts?”
”What about you? Do you want to go out for a walk?”
”You...!”
”Forget it, forget it!”
”I don't have the same opinion with him...”
”Come on, we don't have to argue with such bastards here!”
It seems that the two sides are familiar with each other and have a deep old grudge! The argument stopped as one party left the teahouse. The winning old man said with a smile: ”fuck, some old dogs, look at the elder's body, they are anxious to make a voice for the restless guy!”
A white haired old man opposite him said, ”you can't change your bad temper! These people eat enough benefits and gossip around all day. What else can you do in the end? Can you really kill them?”
”Alas! I just hold my breath! I'm not comfortable without scolding them!”
”It's no use worrying if the teacher doesn't want to take care of it!”
”Yes, don't mention it, don't mention it...”
Zhang Zhou knew from Gu Xuanji's conversation with himself that he didn't know anything about it. People are different. If there were such signs in Kyushu business, he would have done it by himself. He advocated ”system to develop habits”, and was extremely disgusted with such people who deceive the public! If such a person is found, he will be cleared in time and decisively.
For the big society, he understands such existence, but in Kyushu business, the environment must be purified, and a good public opinion atmosphere will help to improve internal unity and development and enhance the psychological advantage in the face of competitors and difficulties!
And Gu Xuanji can do it without asking and letting it go. Is it a high state of mind? Or lazy mentality? Or another plan? After all, I know little about Gu Xuanji and Wuxia mountain. I don't dare to judge it easily!
That night, Zhang Zhou summarized the information obtained by his subordinates and probably learned some details!
There are eight deacon elders in the Presbyterian group of wuxia mountain. Because Gu Xuanji let go, almost all major and minor affairs are presided over by these eight people.
The leader is Gu Xuanji's only surviving martial uncle, Xun Qingzi! Because of his seniority and ability, and Gu Xuanji's laissez faire, he has a detached position and monopoly of power in Wuxia mountain.
Many years ago, he had a younger martial brother who tried to usurp power with some people, including two disciples of Gu Xuanji. As a result, the wuxia mountain was turbulent. Gu Xuanji personally killed several people who took the lead.
Since then, Xun Qingzi has also converged a lot, but he still has the right to speak! As he grew older, his energy became more and more poor, and he couldn't manage so many things, while Shao Jing, the second elder, took his place and monopolized power.
Shao Jing is Gu Xuanji's younger martial brother. His martial arts and strategies are superb. At the beginning, Shao Jing had the opportunity to be the leader. He didn't want to be forcibly robbed by Gu Xuanji, who has been unknown all the time.
Where there are people, there is Jianghu. Where there is Jianghu, it is inseparable from striving for fame and wealth!
Although Gu Xuanji mentioned it a little, Zhang Zhou will never forget the matter of Wuzhou. He and Zhuang Shanke will never die in the future.
Early the next morning, Zhang Zhou only took Chen Chaoying and prepared to climb the mountain. As a marquis, he met the members of the Presbyterian group and did something! By the way, I'd like to meet Xun Qingzi and learn about Shi Zhen!
Wuxia mountain is not allowed to be entered casually. Mountaineering requires strict investigation. Zhang Zhou has a royal gold knife and an official waist token. It's not difficult to climb!
The steward in charge of the Mountain Gate did not neglect. As soon as he informed the mountain, he assigned a deputy with a high status to lead Zhang Zhou up the mountain!
Wuxia mountain ranges are like gathering, clear, green and cypress. There are magnificent waves and exquisite and graceful scenery. It's sunny and refreshing and the scenery is pleasant. The person who leads the way is also very talkative. In addition, he is not in a hurry. It is also comfortable to talk and see the scenery all the way!
At a fork in the road, the passer-by pointed to a cloud hidden peak in the distance and said, ”this path is Ziyun peak! Mr. 16 lives there!”
Zhang Zhou stopped, looked at the poetic purple cloud peak with flowers blooming all over the mountain and said, ”what's wonderful there?”
”Every autumn, Ziyun peak will open a kind of purple flowers all over the mountains and fields, which can reflect the clouds in the sky into purple. Therefore, it is called Ziyun peak. The palm sect used to practice in Ziyun peak, but now it has been enclosed as a forbidden area!”
”Forbidden area? If Ben Hou wants to visit?”
”You don't have to worry, marquis! Both forbidden and forbidden are the words of Mr. 16! Just go there, and someone will tell you there!”
”Do you call all the disciples of the leader sect sir?”
”No, the other disciples in charge of the sect have their own identities on the mountain. Only fifteen and sixteen have no responsibilities, so they are called!”
It seems that the 15th and 16th are very popular! For such a guide, Zhang Zhou will not ask too much, especially confidential and sensitive topics, but it is easy to expose his motivation!
The fiercer the guild struggle, the easier it is to expose some problems. Zhang Zhou is very confident about this. So there is no rush to find out. But we still have to ask and check about Shi Zhen!
”What do you say if your disciples go down the mountain to seek help after they have learned?”
”The important posts on the mountain are taken over by the personal disciples of the leaders of previous dynasties, while others will arrange to operate some foreign industries. They are free to choose without too many restrictions!”
