Chapter 125

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!"

"Shi Zhen, the disciple of senior Xun Qingzi, do you know?"

"Uncle Shi, of course I know. He's also on the mountain!"

"Oh, he's on the mountain, too?"

"Yes, I haven't been back for a few days. Mr. Xun estimates that the time is running out. Many disciples rushed back after hearing the news!"

"Well, reasonable. Does he often come back?"

"Did you come back? Generally, you seldom come back! Martial uncle Shi Zhen can be regarded as a pride of wuxia mountain. He is not only excellent in martial arts, but also amazing in knowledge. He is worshipped by many disciples. Now he is still the confidant of Princess Lin Lang of the Tang Dynasty!"

"It's said that Wushen town sent experts to diagnose elder Xun! As Hou knows, it's difficult for doctors in Wushen town to get out of the mountain!"

The leader's face was more proud and said, "others can't, but Xun Changlao has no problem!"

Zhang Zhou's eyes lit up and said, "why?"

"After Xun Changlao's condition was serious, he sent someone to Wushen Town, and Wushen town sent three big doctors at once. Who has such face for others?"

"What's the relationship between the two? Does it have face?"

This surprised Zhang Zhou. It is known from various channels that a great doctor can be invited from Wushen town. They are rare people. What's the relationship between the three?

"Well, I don't dare to talk nonsense. It's true. I don't know the details! But this kindness can't be fake!"

"Oh, it seems very confidential!"

The passer-by realized that he was talking a little too much and hurriedly said, "Lord Hou, little nonsense can't be true!"

Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "don't worry, you haven't said anything to Ben Hou today!"

"Thank you for your thoughtfulness!"

……

This information is very useful for Zhang Zhou. As long as we find out the relationship between Xun Qingzi and Wushen Town, I believe many things will surface.

It was Shao Jing who received Zhang Zhou. Shao Jing was less than 60 years old. She had a very concise appearance and was very polite to Zhang Zhou.

During the conversation, Zhang Zhou also heard a lot of hidden meanings from each other's words. It can be seen that Shaojing hopes to make friends with him. Strictly speaking, it is to make friends with people with chaotang background! In particular, Zhang Zhou implicitly showed that Shao Jing was more attentive after he was very close to the king of peace!

Without explicit words, Zhang Zhou still understood Shao Jing's idea. He hoped to get a strong help from the court! It also shows that Shao Jing is not very confident about her strength! It can also be concluded that Shao Jing, Zhuang Shanke and Shi Zhen are not on the same line. Otherwise, they don't need to be courteous and close to themselves!

No matter people in Wulin or in chaotang, it's absolutely taboo to step on two boats. It's very difficult to achieve the exquisite appearance of the rich and noble hall in those days!

Knowing that Zhang Zhou wants to go to ziyunfeng, Shaojing decides to accompany him personally.

"When I was indoors, I was careful that the walls have ears, so it's inconvenient to say something clearly. I hope you will forgive me!"

In a quiet place on the road, Shaojing said to Zhang Zhou.

"Elder, why are you so polite? There is a reason for everything. I understand very much!" Zhang Zhou said with a smile.

"Wuxia mountain is no better than other places. Although it is famous in the Jianghu and Wulin, it is the most restless inside!"

"Every family has a difficult Sutra to read!"

"What the LORD said is true. I don't know how the Lord and my senior brother met?"

Zhang Zhou is also a sensitive person. He feels that the other party is trying, and frankly says: "I met Gu Zhangjiao by chance on my way here. He knew I was going up the mountain, so he asked me to take a message to his 16 disciples on the way! Although I am not familiar with Gu Zhangjiao, even if it is entrusted by ordinary Jianghu friends, I have to help you with such a small matter! How dare I refuse it?"

"It's bothering you! In fact, Wuxia mountain has something to do with chaotang. Brother Gu's eldest disciple, Zhuang Shanke, is king Jing's teacher!"

Shao Jing should not know about the conflict in Wuzhou Prefecture. Zhang Zhou just nodded and said, "I know this, but to be honest, I don't know him better!"

Shao Jing asked again, "I don't know what king Ping thinks of wuxia mountain?"

Zhang Zhou thought for a moment and said, "some things need to be determined by the elders themselves. I can help you introduce them!"

Shaojing nodded with satisfaction and said, "thank you, marquis!"

"You're welcome, sir. I just think sometimes it's necessary for everyone to help each other in case of need!"

"The Marquis has a broad vision. I think so!"

……

"I have something to ask you!"

"Just say it!"

"What is the relationship between Xun Qingzi and Wushen town? I want to know about Shi Zhen!"

Shao Jing knows that not taking out what the other party needs is not good for future cooperation!

"This can be regarded as a secret of wuxia mountain. I only know that martial uncle Xun Qingzi has an excellent relationship with the medical Saint Li Lingqu, but I don't know the specific reason! To be honest, if it wasn't for this relationship, the position of the elder would have given way to the virtuous!"

Shao Jing thought for a while and then said, "Shi Zhen went up the mountain when he was very young. At that time, Xun Qingzi had long stopped accepting disciples, but Shi Zhen took the initiative to invite his name and became a closed disciple! He has been carefully trained by him for many years. Later, he went down the mountain to participate in the Kyoto exam and won the second place, which made Xun Qingzi proud for a long time!"

"I heard he came to the mountain, too?"

"Well, I've been with Xun Qingzi in the back mountain!"

"Elder Xun, now..."

"The lamp has run out of oil and there is no way to return to the sky!"

……

Zhang Zhou also inquired about Zhuang Shanke. He learned that Zhuang Shanke was one of the eight elders of the sect because of Gu Zhangjiao and King Jing. However, he never participated in the internal affairs of the mountain gate. He has an independent Mountain Gate in the mountain behind the wuxia mountain. Usually, Gu Xuanji and several other disciples are responsible for the management. A few days ago, the four leading disciples went down the mountain to work and haven't returned yet …

Shao Jing doesn't know that the guy has been abandoned by night into emptiness!
