Taoist help me live forever

Chapter 234
Wangshufu City, Qufu.

Everyone in the city knew that shortly after being appointed by Tiancheng, Palace Master Chu went to the countryside to do as the Romans did, choosing two in-laws in the palace.

They are the Qu family and the You family.

Both of these two are big local families, and there are several Jindan real people in the family. After uniting with Palace Master Chu, it is a strong alliance.

These two families have contributed a lot to Palace Master Chu's inaction and rule over the years, and they have also reaped most of the benefits.

Of course, since Chu Yanran was born, the two families that were originally neck and neck have gradually become different.

The Qu family faintly became the number one family in Wangshu Mansion.

Over the years, the Datong Society was born out of nowhere, and with the endorsement of the City Lord's Mansion, it snatched most of the profitable businesses in the city.

After all, if the overall development of a city remains unchanged, the market cake is only so big.

Some people take one more bite, while others take one less.

From this point of view, the Qu family is actually a party whose interests have been damaged.

It's just that the monks of the Qu family have made a lot of money in the demon army with Palace Master Chu over the years, and the overall calculation is slightly less than before, so they don't have any opinions.

Otherwise, Datong would have done it like this, and Palace Master Chu would have caught fire in his backyard long ago.

But now that the Demon Eliminating Army is about to be disbanded and the Qu family's financial resources have been cut off, they have other thoughts in their minds.

So when Chu Yanran arrived with Palace Master Chu's order, they hit it off immediately.

In the chamber.

All the families in the city gathered together, and the atmosphere was somewhat dignified.

Monks are not noble.

On the contrary, even a powerful sect like the Xuanyang Sect has to spread disciples widely, and use the Eight Great Heavenly Towns to suppress the territory and search for resources.

What kind of qualifications are there for a family where the strongest among them is only in the Golden Core realm?

If the family's income decreases, the daily cultivation resources will have to be reduced, and the descendants of the family will not be able to receive good training.

Over time, the family will decline and eventually disappear in the dust of history.

So when the Qu family informed them to discuss important matters, although they had doubts in their hearts, everyone still came, and all the important figures from each family came.

"Brother Qu, since you called the big guy here, you couldn't just let us come and sit around."

"My lord, the Palace Master, did not do this properly. He is full, so he doesn't care about us?
All of us have tried our best these years, so we didn't cause him any trouble.

Now Datong is bullying too much, and the City Lord's Mansion is trying to evade in every possible way, someone has to stand up and say something. "

Someone took the lead, and everyone complained in the hall.

"Before I said that President Bai of the Datong Association knows how to be a man, and a good treasure like the heretic Jindan is also given away as soon as he says it.

Our Zhang family also made a lot of Lingshi by reselling qualifications.

But these years, our chances of winning the lottery are getting lower and lower. On the contrary, our Zhang family's Danfang business has been robbed by the Datong Association.

Now Danfang has to lose 30 to [-] spirit stones a year.

Most of the alchemists raised in our alchemy room were poached by the Datong Society.

Nai's, the key is that we still can't beat him.

The Datong Association has sponsored too many fake alchemy monks over the years. Although it is not worth mentioning individually, but standing together in groups of ten or eight, even our ancestors dare not do it easily. "

"That's right, the Datong Association is simply not a son of man. The Daai Garden promised at the beginning that it would make a profit without losing money, so we invested money in and bought most of their houses.

Fortunately, the price of houses went up to the sky, but not many people bought them.

Not only that, if someone sells it, we have to take over, otherwise the price will have to be cut in half.

Now we are all holding on, and only Datong will be full of greasy food. "

"I don't know where Datong learned these ghost tricks. I regret it now, especially regret it. I am obviously farming at home honestly, and I can make a living by collecting rent every year.

Now that he owes a lot of debt, Lingtian has to be mortgaged to others.

There is also the share of the elders of the Shangzong, if someone takes it, I will die. "

A lot of people discussed, they all held up a handful of bitter tears.

Don't look at all of them who have practiced for a hundred years, they seem to be scheming.

However, the thinking mode has become rigid due to years of experience. In the face of Datonghui's skillful leek tactics, there is not much power to fight back.

When encountering this kind of almost fraudulent method before, they can turn the table and stop playing.

It can't solve the problem, and it can't solve the person who raised the problem.

But the city lord's mansion, which was supposed to stand with them, went to grandma's house this time.

You can't beat the hard ones, and you can't speak the soft ones.

As the current Patriarch of the Qu family, Qu Ming couldn't help but frowned at the moment when he saw the anger of the crowd, secretly rejoicing.

Fortunately, it was a good thing to call them over this time, otherwise it might not be possible to fight on the spot.

"Everyone, don't be impatient."

"Qu Mou invited everyone to come here, naturally to give everyone a solution. I hope that the current appearance of Shufu City is due to the hard work of our family year after year.

The foundation of the Datong Association is shallow, so how can it go against the opinions of the public. "

"So Qu wants to announce good news to everyone."

"Presumably everyone knows that just a few days ago, Palace Master Chu specially invited that President Bai to visit after returning.

The situation does not seem very optimistic.

But the real situation is not like this. In fact, under the persuasion of Palace Master Chu, Chairman Bai agreed to share the property of Datong Association with everyone.

Lingshi has to be earned by everyone to be happy. "

Qu Ming clapped his hands, and said to the back hall in a victorious posture:
"President Bai, please come and say a few words to everyone in person."

after awhile.

The bearded and haggard-looking Yu Xian came out from the back hall and bowed to everyone.

"Bai Gu has met fellow Taoists."

The people present basically suffered a loss at the hands of the Datong Association. Seeing Yu Xian's appearance now, instead of showing sympathy, there was a feeling of relief.

Whether it is an outsider or not, Palace Master Chu is still on the side of his family.

They wrongly blamed the Palace Master before.

Yu Xian smiled wryly, and said: "According to Palace Master Chu's opinion, Datong Association intends to split up and auction off all properties except the Daai project.

If you are interested, you can go to Datonghui to participate in the auction after January. "

"It's actually going to split up the auction Datong Association."

The crowd immediately geared up and became interested.

They have all suffered from the Datong Association's losses, and know that other than the Datong Association's project of great love, other projects of the Datong Association are golden chickens.

As long as they get one, even if they don't need to change anything, they can make a lot of money if they continue to do it according to the previous model.

As for the big love project, don't even give it to them.

If they do good deeds and send money outside, their huge family business can't afford to lose it.

but……

There is no such thing as a pie in the sky. As soon as the news of the complaint came out on their front feet, President Bai came out to appease them.

Could it be that Palace Master Chu and Chairman Bai have other agreements in private, and everything now is just acting.

Doubts arise in some people's minds.

But generally speaking, Yu Xian's performance did appease them.

Just like the concerns of County Magistrate Yan of Qiufeng City, it is easier to invite God than to send God away.

Once the Zongmen inspector is off, he must go back with credit.

Moreover, the supervising monk in charge of the first level of Fucheng is already Yuanying Zhenjun. If they want to satisfy such people, the price they pay is enough to hurt their muscles and bones.

If it wasn't for the fact that the Datong Association and the City Lord's Mansion hadn't collude before, forcing them into a hurry, they wouldn't have such thoughts.

So when everyone dispersed from Qu Mansion, half excited and half doubtful, they each took the initiative to use their connections to make calls.

Logically, it was a coincidence that Palace Master Chu was seriously injured while he was out hunting demons.

Now Miss Chu and her mother, who was the former Miss of the Qu family, are selling the property of the Chu family in private.

But the strange thing is that they only need Lingshi.

Someone visited Palace Master Chu under the pretext of visiting a sick person, but was stopped by someone saying that it was inconvenient to see the visitor.

All kinds of behavior make people suspicious.

Until some gossip came out, Palace Master Chu had inquired about the Huaying Pill from Director Yan at the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, and confirmed that the Huaying Pill would be sold at the auction held by the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce's headquarters in Xuanyangjing.

People with good deeds hurried to Wanbao Chamber of Commerce to inquire.

Although in principle, the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce does not allow the privacy of its guests to be disclosed, but these people who inquired are all dignitaries in the city and the main source of customers of the Chamber of Commerce.

So Director Yan neither admitted nor denied it, but just nodded and admitted that there would indeed be a Huaying Pill in the auction.

In this way, the wise man suddenly understood everything.

The Lord of the Chu Palace entrusted his illness to heal his wounds, but in fact he was preparing to break through the Nascent Soul, and now he has sold off his property, as long as the spirit stone is the evidence.

And the reason why President Bai compromised with Palace Master Chu was probably because he secretly reached an agreement with Palace Master Chu.

Or they were simply threatened by Palace Master Chu, and all the spirit stones they auctioned would become resources to support Palace Master Chu's breakthrough.

After numerous investigations and evidence collection, the Datong Association itself was ignored, and everyone's attention was focused on the matter that Palace Master Chu might break through the Nascent Soul.

There is only one big difference between Jindan Realm and Nascent Soul Realm.

But the difference of one realm is the difference between heaven and earth.

Of course, the Nascent Soul realm is not so easy to break through, otherwise Palace Master Chu would not be so low-key.

Being too high-profile not only easily attracts jealousy, but also may cause unexpected changes, and even become a laughing stock if you fail.

Some people thought they got the correct answer, but tacitly concealed the news, and sold Palace Master Chu's favor in a small way.

As for suing, only fools sue.

Now everyone is busy dividing up the Datong Association's cake, and from time to time, a few of them will come out privately to discuss it.

After all, although each family has a lot of assets, their cash flow is not much, and they have to work together to eat it.

……

City Lord's Mansion.

Chu Yanran told Palace Master Chu one by one about the recent changes in the city, and comforted her at the same time:

"Father, don't worry, President Bai has already promised me that as long as my daughter gives him the spirit stone, he will not do anything to you."

"Yeah, Dad, with Yanran and I here, President Bai dares to harm you, we will die with him at worst, and we will never let him have a good time."

The breath was sluggish, and Duan Hong, who was pale, encouraged him.

Palace Master Chu glanced at Duan Hong indifferently, but said nothing.

He knew that Duan Hong was probably a member of the Datong Association, but he couldn't say anything now, he couldn't even give hints, he could only watch his daughter fall into this man's tender trap.

Because the senior Demon Lord followed him almost every step of the way.

Once he reveals any flaws, the whole city will die.

Speaking of which, he was considered honored to be treated so seriously by a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

At the same time, he was even more afraid of President Bai's identity, because he could actually make a Nascent Soul True Monarch obey what he said.

I'm afraid it was Zongmen who finally caught him, and he didn't really dare to execute him before investigating clearly.

Otherwise, if they really incur the thunderous wrath of a Huashen Mozun, even the Nine Suns Immortal Sect would not be able to protect them.

His previous thoughts were a little too good.

"Father is fine here. You listen to President Bai's orders and discuss everything with Duan Hong. Although he is not as good as you in terms of cultivation, he is much smarter than you."

Palace Master Chu said lightly.

"Well, my daughter knows that if Duan Lang is not with her these days, she really doesn't know how to get through it."

Chu Yanran held Duan Hong's hand tightly, with a happy smile on her face.

Palace Master Chu: "..."

"Okay, you should go."

The bald man said expressionlessly.

Chu Yanran looked at Palace Master Chu reluctantly and said, "Father, my daughter will visit you often, you have to take good care of yourself."

Palace Master Chu nodded slightly, as he didn't really want to talk to his stupid daughter anymore.

Not long after Chu Yanran and Duan Hong left.

Yu Xian appeared in front of Palace Master Chu on time.

"Palace Master Chu, thank you for your cooperation, otherwise I would be in a bit of a dilemma."

Palace Master Chu snorted coldly: "Guild Master Bai is the best way to do it. Now the whole city is wondering when Chu will break through.

I'm afraid it never occurred to me that Chu was already your prisoner. "

Yu Xian smiled and said: "To each other, Palace Master Chu didn't tell me that there is still such a thing as sect supervision.

If the monitoring monks from the Xuanyang Sect come, I will have no choice but to run away.

And Palace Master Chu's hopeless comeback will be enough to make a good story.

It's a pity that Palace Master Chu probably doesn't know that until now, they haven't really planned to sue and invite the sect to supervise.

The previous news was all deliberately released by them to scare you and me. "

Palace Master Chu shook his head and said: "It's just that they are attracted by the small profits you throw out. They are blinded by the profits, short-sighted, hesitant to do big things, and waste great opportunities for nothing."

Yu Xian said, "I actually think you should be blamed for this."

Palace Master Chu asked suspiciously: "What's the explanation?"

Yu Xian said with emotion: "If it weren't for your sect's inspectors to search you too hard, you will definitely get something if you go out.

It makes them have to be careful even when they sue, so how can it make you miscalculate.

But I also understand your sect's supervision. After all, if someone asks me to do something, even if it doesn't work, I still have to accept half of the benefits. "

Palace Master Chu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said: "President Bai is really a wonderful person."

Yu Xian said: "Palace Master Chu has won the award, you still called me a devil a few days ago."

"Palace Master Chu, I have no intention of killing you, as long as you cooperate well, after finishing what I have to do, you will still be your Lord Palace Master.

Even Datong will still be able to cooperate with you. "

Palace Master Chu said in surprise: "Aren't you afraid of my revenge afterwards?"

Yu Xian laughed, looking very confident.

"I have always believed that there are no permanent enemies in this world, only permanent interests, and you and I are not some endless life and death enmity.

Besides, besides the Datong Association below, who can give Palace Master Chu another chance to congeal your baby? "

Palace Master Chu was silent for a moment, and asked:

"What exactly are you trying to do?"

After thinking for a while, Yu Xian smiled brightly.

"It's a secret, but I think it should be considered a good thing."

"Palace Master Chu, take a good rest, don't be too haggard, it will hurt your daughter to see it."

Yu Xian waved his hand, said goodbye and left.

Palace Master Chu glanced at the bald man who had been standing to one side like a statue since Yu Xian came, and sighed secretly.

"If you make a mistake, you will lose everything."

Looking back at that time, he had long since given up the idea of ​​a breakthrough. Whether he made a breakthrough or not was irrelevant. He devoted himself to the mountains and rivers all day long, and even the government affairs of the city lord's mansion were handled by the Quyou family.

Just how did you get to where you are today?
perhaps……

Palace Master Chu recalled the day when he and Yu Xian first met, during the exchange of cups and cups, the idea of ​​breaking through the Nascent Soul was like a seed, taking root and sprouting in his heart.

"He really is a monster."

If it wasn't for the devil, how could his desire take root so easily, making him unable to extricate himself.

He sat down slumped with his body that had been holding on all the time, and he aged a lot in an instant.
