Chapter 625: Darkness and lightness(1/2)
The conversation with Gongsun Xuanlu did not go very smoothly.
Because although the Gongsun family will help people set up mountain protection formations, they usually need to have a trustworthy person to vouch for it.
Moreover, Jingguo, where the Zhou family is located, is too far away, and the Gongsun family is also worried that something will happen to the former formation master.
After all, just like Zhou Chun was worried that the formation master would deliberately leave some loopholes to target the Zhou family in the future.
Those formation masters who were invited to help set up the formation were also worried that in order to keep the secret secret, the master would kill them after the event was completed!
Just like after the mortal emperors built their mausoleums, in order to prevent the mechanisms inside the mausoleum from being known to others, they would often kill the craftsmen who knew about it!
After all, the Gongsun family is just a golden elixir family. If something like this really happened, they would most likely not have the ability to travel across multiple countries to avenge the murdered clan members.
This kind of thing has not happened before.
So even if this business can make a lot of money, they don't want to lose money!
No matter what Zhou Chun said, even if he swore and swore, Gongsun Xuanlu would not let go.
After trying so hard to convince the other party, Zhou Chun became a little angry and couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "Fellow Daoist Gongsun, Zhou sincerely wants to ask the formation master of your family for help, and he is also willing to pay a generous reward.
It’s disappointing that my friend is so unkind!”
Faced with his words, Gongsun Xuanlu just shook his head slightly and said, "Fellow Taoist Zhou has misunderstood. It's not that I'm unkind, but that I'm responsible for the safety of my clan. Since Taoist friend is also a family monk.
, you should understand my concerns."
"Forget it, since you, fellow Daoist Gongsun, are so incompetent, Zhou has nothing to say and can only hire someone else, Gao Ming!"
Zhou Chun looked at the other party deeply, stood up and left without wasting any more time.
But just when Zhou Chun was about to leave the gate of the Gongsun family, a loud shout suddenly came from behind him.
"Senior, please be patient. Junior Gongsun Yuanji is willing to help senior set up the formation!"
Um?
Zhou Chun's expression changed, he immediately stopped and turned around to look behind him.
I saw a thin middle-aged man with middle-level cultivation in Zifu, walking quickly towards me.
But just when he was about to listen to what this thin middle-aged man had to say, Gongsun Xuanlu's angry shout rang out: "Gongsun Yuanji, you go back to your residence!"
Before the shouts ended, a ray of green rays of light swept towards Gongsun Yuanji, seeming to take him away.
Seeing this, Zhou Chun's eyes suddenly flashed with strange color, and he directly raised his hand and shot out a golden light to defeat the green glow.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, what do you mean by this? Do you want to make an enemy of my Gongsun family here?"
Gongsun Xuanlu's figure quickly appeared outside, looking at Zhou Chun with a look of shock and anger, and sternly questioned him.
At the same time, the Gongsun family's mountain-protecting formation was like a sleeping giant suddenly awakening, emitting an aura that made Zhou Chun feel palpitated.
As a formation family that has had formation masters in the past, the Gongsun family's mountain-protecting formation is naturally first-class and powerful.
Even though it is not as good as the mountain-protecting formations of those great sects due to the level of its spiritual veins, it is still not a big problem to withstand the attacks of one or two Nascent Soul Stage monks.
This was also the reason why Gongsun Xuanlu dared to let Zhou Chun enter his mountain gate without fear of offending Zhou Chun.
But since Zhou Chun had taken action, he naturally couldn't retreat at this time.
What's more, he didn't believe that Gongsun Xuanlu really dared to mobilize the power of the mountain gate formation to suppress him.
To take a step back, even if Gongsun Xuanlu really did this, with his methods, if he really wanted to fight with his hands and feet, he would not have the ability to lose both sides.
So at this time, he smiled lightly and said without fear: "Friend Gongsun said something serious. Zhou has no enmity with the Gongsun family. Naturally, he does not want to be an enemy of the Gongsun family. But since this little friend is willing to help Zhou solve his difficulties,
But Zhou cannot let fellow Taoist Gongsun hurt him!"
Seeing his confident appearance, Gongsun Xuanlu suppressed his anger and couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "Fellow Daoist Zhou, I'm afraid you have been deceived by him. Gongsun Yuanji's attainments in formations are ordinary, not to mention forbidden.
Even if the formation is already in place, even the more advanced ordinary formations are incapable of being arranged!"
"Is that so? What do you think, little friend?"
As Zhou Chun spoke, he couldn't help but look at the middle-aged man named Gongsun Yuanji.
Facing his gaze, the middle-aged man did not look at Gongsun Xuanlu's gloomy face, but replied respectfully and seriously: "Senior, don't worry, although this junior's own formation attainments are mediocre, he can still help the seniors."
Recommend a fellow Taoist who has profound attainments in formations and is not inferior to the supreme elders of our clan!"
After hearing what he said, Zhou Chun knew that there must be something else going on, but he still nodded with a smile and said: "That's good! Zhou only wants a formation master with profound knowledge of formations to take action.
Help us, and you will be rewarded generously when things are done!"
After saying that, he looked at Gongsun Xuanlu with a smile but not a smile and said: "Since fellow Taoist Gongsun is unwilling to help, Zhou will not force him, but please don't ruin Zhou's opportunity, otherwise don't blame Zhou for being unethical.
!”
In turn, he threatened the other party!
Seeing him like this, Gongsun Xuanlu was shocked and angry. He looked at him with a shocked and angry face, his face changing constantly.
Gongsun Xuanlu was not sure whether Zhou Chun was really confident or a bluff.
But he knew very well that once he really chose to take action and failed to capture Zhou Chun, he would provoke a very formidable and powerful enemy for the Gongsun family.
Therefore, he did not respond to Zhou Chun's words for a long time.
At this time, Gongsun Yuanji looked at Gongsun Xuanlu and said, "Sir, have you forgotten the ancestral precepts of the Gongsun family?"
Hearing what he said, Gongsun Xuanlu couldn't help but change his expression. He immediately looked at him and shouted angrily: "How dare you mention the family's ancestral teachings, you evildoer! How could my Gongsun family have such an unfilial person like you!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Before the shouts ended, the big sleeve waved and said: "In that case, get out of the Gongsun family. There will be no one like you in the Gongsun family in the future!"
After saying that, an exit was opened above the mountain guard formation.
Seeing this, Zhou Chun knew that this person had borrowed the donkey to find a way down the stairs, so after a chuckle, he said to Gongsun Yuanji, whose face turned extremely pale: "Little friend Gongsun, let's go out first and talk about it."
!”
"Yes, senior."
Gongsun Yuanji opened his mouth, then reluctantly looked at the place where he had lived for most of his life, gritted his teeth, and immediately left through the exit.
Zhou Chun also followed closely behind him to protect him, and left the mountain gate of the Gongsun family with him.
After the two of them left the Gongsun Family Mountain Gate in this way, Zhou Chun took Gongsun Yuanji and stopped on a barren mountain a hundred miles away from the Gongsun Family Mountain Gate.
"Little friend Gongsun, can you tell me the inside story now?"
On the barren mountain, Zhou Chun looked at Gongsun Yuanji, who still looked a little pale in front of him, and asked for details in a calm tone.
Hearing his words, Gongsun Yuanji immediately saluted him and said: "Senior Mingjian, the formation master that I want to recommend to you is my sister Gongsun Yuanzhi. She has shown outstanding performance since she was a child.
He has extraordinary formation talent and has become a formation master before he is even a hundred years old. In terms of formation talent, he can be said to be the best in the Gongsun family today!"
Zhou Chun heard this and immediately said: "If your sister really has the outstanding talent for formations as you said, she should be the one who is being cultivated by the Gongsun family. Why does it seem like she is not in the Gongsun family from what you said?"
"Hey! This is why the junior went to the senior desperately!"
Gongsun Yuanji sighed deeply and immediately told the whole story.
It turns out that her younger sister is indeed gifted. The entire Gongsun family had high hopes for her in the future, hoping that she would be able to reach the realm of Formation Dao Grandmaster when she was still in the Golden Core stage, just like the ancestor of the Gongsun family.
But just a few decades ago, his sister was privately invited to explore an ancient cave. Unfortunately, she was plotted against her and suffered serious injuries that were difficult to heal. She almost lost the possibility of forming an elixir!
And what is most unacceptable to the Gongsun family is that his sister also lost a formation treasure left by the ancestors of the Gongsun family!
That array treasure was the product of a lifetime of hard work by the ancestors of the Gongsun family. In order to protect this item, the Gongsun family had previously strictly prohibited members of the clan from taking this item out of the family gate.
But Gongsun Yuanzhi violated this clan rule and secretly took the object away from the family gate and lost it!
Such behavior is tantamount to betraying the family!
Therefore, after it was determined that Gongsun Yuanzhi was basically unlikely to succeed in forming elixirs, Gongsun Xuanlu was completely disappointed with this descendant who he once loved so much. He directly expelled him from the Gongsun family and did not allow any members of the Gongsun family to interact with him anymore.
There is a dispute.
It's just that others can care about Gongsun Yuanzhi's life or death, but Gongsun Yuanji, as her biological brother, cannot care about her.
So over the years, Gongsun Yuanji has been trying every means to seek medical treatment for his sister, hoping to cure her internal injuries.
Over the years, Gongsun Yuanji's savings have been exhausted, and he also owes many debts to fellow monks.
But Gongsun Yuanzhi’s injury still has no chance of healing!
This time Zhou Chun came to visit and asked the Gongsun family to help arrange the formation, but Gongsun Xuanlu refused.
Gongsun Yuanji also saw a glimmer of an opportunity, so he stopped him with the determination to break the boat.
After listening to Gongsun Yuanji's story, Zhou Chun couldn't help but narrowed his eyes, looked at him deeply and said: "According to what you said, little friend Gongsun, your sister was seriously injured and it was difficult to use her magic power.
It can basically be said to be useless, so how can you let her help Zhou arrange the formation?"
"Or do you want to be a free hand and let Zhou pay for the treatment of your sister's injuries in advance?"
At the end of the sentence, there was also a hint of sarcasm.
"This junior has no such intention!"
Gongsun Yuanji quickly denied it, and then bowed his hands to Zhou Chun and said: "Senior, I know that although my sister-in-law is seriously ill now and it is difficult to use her magic power, her formation skills are still there, and she comes from the same origin as my junior.
, with her one-on-one guidance, the juniors can help the seniors set up formations as her deputy!"
