Seeing how humble Gu Zuo was, Wu Shanjing suddenly fell into a trance, as if he saw himself in his youth, holding a broken bowl and humbly begging for a morsel of food and a bowl of water in front of someone else's house.

After a long time, Fang said: "Think clearly, if I agree to my brother's favor today, I will be done with it, and you will not come to my door again in the future. If you just go back, everything will be fine in the future. You can choose for yourself

!”

Gu Zuo lamented, he had to choose again...

After struggling fiercely in his heart for a moment, he decided to seize the moment and draw his bow without turning back. Wu Shanjing could not consider the problem from his perspective. He had already said his words, how could he take them back?

Furthermore, is a meal important? Regardless of whether it is important to others, at least it is very important to him at present. He has to repay Zhong Canjun's favor, which is an urgent priority. If this favor is not returned, he can neither

Peace of mind, it will be more difficult to establish a foothold in Montenegro in the future.

As for whether the two big shopkeepers can negotiate the matter, it has nothing to do with him. I have made an appointment, and I have tried my best!

It's just that the price of this meal is a bit high...

In fact, if I turn around and think about it carefully, if I don’t seize this meal today, will I still have the opportunity to come here in the future? I’m afraid I won’t have this chance.

"Please do it, Master Wu!" Gu Zuo bowed deeply again.

Wu Shanjing stared at Gu Zuo until Gu Zuo's scalp went numb and he doubted his life, then he slowly said: "Let's stay at Cuiyunya tonight. I am a vegetarian. They are not allowed to pay for this meal. I will settle the bill."

!”

Gu Zuo felt a sense of weakness for a moment. When he walked out of the gate of Longquan Taoist Temple, a gust of wind hit him, and he realized that he was soaked with sweat all over his body.

First, he inquired about the location of Cuiyunya, and rushed to book the banquet for the evening. The deposit he paid was three guan! Wu Shanjing said that the two shopkeepers were not allowed to pay, and also said that he had to pay for it himself. Gu Zuo's understanding of this was that he had to comply.

, I just modified it a little bit.

He no longer cared about whether the meal was expensive and hurried back to Heishanzhao Inn.

As soon as I entered the door, there was a knock on the door outside.

Mr. Zhong Da poked his head in and said, "Master Gu is out?"

Isn't this asking knowingly? Gu Zuo knew what he wanted to ask, so he said: "Yes, I went to Longquan Taoist Temple."

Mr. Zhong Er also poked his head in: "How is it? Have you met Daoist Wu?"

Gu Zuo hurriedly greeted: "Why are you two standing at the door talking? Come in, come in, sit...sit...I'll make tea for you two. When we came back, no one took a sip. They were so thirsty..."

The sales at this time made the two big shopkeepers anxious to death. When Mr. Zhong Er saw Gu Zuo looking for tea slowly, he simply took the job away, quickly found the tea leaves and stuffed them into the pot, and then

When he wanted to go out and ask for hot water, Mr. Zhong Da had already entered the house with a steaming pot of boiling water. I don't know how he came so quickly.

After pouring three cups of tea, Gu Zuo blew the tea in his hand, took a few sips, and let out a sound of comfortable satisfaction: "Good tea, the tea from our Heishan Zhaoyi House is better, better than Longquan Taoist Temple

Quite a few.”

Mr. Zhong Da said happily: "Could it be that we saw it?"

Gu Zuoqi said: "If you can't see it, then what are you going to do?"

Even though Wu Shanjing is just a deacon of the Taoist Temple under the Shangqing Palace on Jiannan Road, he is not a simple accountant deacon. He holds great power. The amount of spiritual stones turned in every year by the Liuzhao can be reduced as appropriate, and which ones must be fully counted.

Those who have made up for it, and those who have maliciously escaped and need to be punished, are all within his jurisdiction and responsibility.

Therefore, Taoist Wu almost never had private contact with people from Liuzhao. It was more difficult to have dinner with him than with Longquan Yuan, Supervisor Yuan, or Sandu.

Hearing that Gu Zuo had invited Taoist Wu out, the two big shopkeepers looked at each other and smiled. Mr. Zhong Er immediately said: "Then I will start making arrangements immediately. Well, I'm afraid it won't be appropriate to come to the post house. I will go to Yaqing Xiaozhu immediately, where

The spiritual fruit comes from Tianlong Mountain in southern Xinjiang..."

Gu Zuo interrupted him: "Cuiyunya, this is what Taoist Wu meant..."

Upon hearing that it was the place named by Director Wu, Mr. Zhong Er immediately changed his mind: "Then Cuiyun Cliff, I will go there myself..."

Inviting someone to dinner and being accepted is a state of affairs. If the other party specifies the location, it means that the relationship between the two parties has risen to the second state and has definitely been elevated.

Mr. Zhong Da was also very excited: "I will also go to Cuiyun Cliff to have a look and try to be more considerate..."

Gu Zuo continued to interrupt: "No, Taoist priest Wu said he would be the host and invite us to dinner."

The two big shopkeepers were stunned. Mr. Zhong Da couldn't believe it: "What..."

Gu Zuo spread his hands: "Isn't this very clear?"

Cuiyun Cliff is located in Cuiyun Mountain in the northeast of Luofu County. There is a natural boulder on the top of the mountain, which protrudes outward by one-third. The Luofu sect built Cuiyun Villa here and placed the dining area on the protruding part of the boulder.

There is an artistic conception of "a dangerous building is a hundred feet high, and you can pick the stars with your hands".

Wu Shanjing was already waiting here. Gu Zuo stepped forward and introduced the two big shopkeepers to him. Wu Shanjing nodded and said that he had seen them in Heishan Zhao, so the two big shopkeepers walked into a bamboo pavilion on the cliff with great fear and sat at the big table.

Take a seat.

There were not many opportunities to sit down and talk with Wu Shanjing at the wine table. The two big shopkeepers had no intention of admiring the scenery outside the pavilion and told them everything about Heishan Zhao's request.

Six years ago, the beast tide in southern Xinjiang was the first to bear the brunt of the Second Edict of Heishan and Yongchang. Not to mention Yongchang, the tide of beasts almost destroyed the entire territory of Heishan Edict alone. Nearly a hundred sects were destroyed, and thousands of monks were killed and injured!

It was precisely because of such heavy losses that the Chongxuan Office agreed to exempt half of the tribute from the Black Mountain Edict, from 200,000 spirit stones to 100,000, with a reduction of five years. Five years later, Longquan Taoist Academy re-determined the tribute, and Chen Shanjing

After wrangling in Heishan County for the past few months, I finally made up my mind to restore the 200,000 spirit stones.

At the wine table, the two big shopkeepers mentioned this matter many times, and Wu Shanjing responded one by one without expression. Finally, he concluded: "I visited Heishan County for a month last year, but it was actually more than that. I visited it the year before last, and the year before that.

, have all been to your Heishan Zhao, in addition to the county and city, you have also gone to many places. I know that your Heishan Zhao has indeed not restored its original appearance. It is about 80% of what it was before the beast tide. But Mr. Da just said that you can pay 150,000, or even

One hundred and eighty thousand, I can only tell you with a hard heart, no! It’s not that I’m unreasonable or unreasonable, but that Chongxuan Department needs these spiritual stones. Some things can only go so far, and I

I also want to remind you not to take my words out and talk nonsense. I will not recognize these words outside this pavilion."

The two shopkeepers looked at each other and had to give up.

Gu Zuo didn't say anything. If he could invite Wu Shanjing out, he had already exhausted the favor of Yu Yuanzhi in Sanyuan Palace, and it was useless to try any more.
