Hearing that Old Man Gu said that he was planning to move to the East China Sea after finishing this time, the four brothers hurriedly asked: "Teacher, Shuangyu Island is ours? How much money did it cost?"
Old Man Gu sighed and said: "I originally wanted to tell you about this later. After all, we haven't paid the money yet, so this island is not ours. Two months ago, Taoist Wutong took advantage of others' danger and took it. One hundred and seventy-six thousand taels for the teacher. This money will be paid within one year. When will it be paid, we will be counted as the owners of the island."
All the brothers looked at each other, and the eldest brother asked: "We have no cash anymore, where can we find so much money?"
Old Man Gu said: "I have already made an agreement with him that day. If I don't have enough money, I can also use the beautiful girls to repay it. My teacher has just decided that the beautiful girls from Luoyang Xiu'an will be used to offset part of the payment. The rest will be sent to Xiu'an in Hangzhou and Xiu'an in Fuzhou!"
Everyone's heart is very heavy. Cultivating a beautiful girl is not something that can be done overnight. First, we must "win" the powerful factions in each Taoist palace and build a nunnery. This is a huge expense. Secondly, we need to select a girl who knows her roots well. The old bustard from Yangzhou was trained to recruit Donghai monks to control the market, which was also a lot of money.
The Apparition Palace, which is connected to the top, only gives Old Man Gu 10,000 taels of silver in preparation fees every year. How can this amount of money be enough to sustain it? If Old Man Gu hadn't sold beautiful girls to the East China Sea, he wouldn't have been able to survive, and he wouldn't have been able to maintain his gambling career for so many years.
Since three years ago, when Old Man Gu gambled with a huge amount of money during the highly publicized Sword Trial incident involving three masters from three provinces and four masters, and lost everything, life for their master and disciple has been very difficult. At the beginning of last year, the situation was even worse. Old Man Gu, who wanted to make a comeback, took out all the remaining money and made a huge gamble on Ling'ao Island. He encountered a tragedy when the banker opened forty-three hands in a row and lost his pants on the spot. All dropped. If it weren't for the fact that overseas monks rarely had the habit of borrowing money, and no one on Ling'ao Island would borrow money from him, he would have been on the run long ago.
However, it was precisely because of this that Old Man Gu came to his senses after encountering the Xiuxianqiu Lottery. From then on, he became obsessed with this elegant and stylish Guanbao game, completely putting aside his unbearable career as a bad gambler, which can be regarded as unfortunate. Great luck.
Seeing that several of his disciples were not in a good mood, Old Man Gu encouraged him: "Actually, it is not necessary to use the beautiful girl as a mortgage to buy the island. As long as we can succeed this time and kill Zhao Zhiran, we can use his storage method to In the utensil, the harvest must be great. I have asked many questions for the teacher, and they are very rich. When Jiang Tenghe got married, the bride price was not less than one million taels of silver! This Zhao Zhiran can make 20 yuan from the practice lottery every year. More than 10,000 taels! Think about it, how much silver does he have in his stored magic weapon? How many treasures does he have? We don¡¯t care about Dongfang Li and Wei Chaozong. Once we get his belongings, our masters and disciples will immediately If you really gain a lot after leaving the capital, you can even ignore the nunneries in various places for the time being and go to the East China Sea to hide for three to five years!"
Sure enough, money and silk moved people's hearts. After some encouragement, several apprentices immediately cheered up. The senior brother said: "The teacher is right. Taking down Zhao Zhiran is much better than killing others. The only concern is that the incident in the Third Palace It's not secret, the news has leaked out, otherwise why would someone named Zhao slip away in front of our eyes again and again?"
Old Man Gu shook his head and said: "It's really hard to say, and I don't rule out the possibility of your speculation, but this possibility is extremely small. Neither Duan Chaoyong nor Zhu Longxi is a lax person. I have just carefully considered this. This thing is probably Zhao Zhiran's own ability to calculate using plum blossoms."
Several disciples expressed doubts: "Is the number of plum blossoms so powerful?"
Old Man Gu solemnly said: "Plum blossoms are easy to count and easy to learn but difficult to master. Among my great Ming dynasties, there are only three people who are truly proficient. One is Patriarch Tieguan, the other is Patriarch Longyang, and the third is Shao Da Tianshi. Do you think they are great or not? I am. The master originally underestimated him, but the boy surnamed Zhao has been taught by Patriarch Long Yang, so he may be considered a semi-proficient person, otherwise how could he have avoided our ambush many times?"
Several apprentices were very worried about this: "What should we do?"
Old man Gu sneered: "Since he uses plum blossoms to count, don't blame us for not following the routine!"
Several disciples are still puzzled: "What do you mean, teacher? How can you not follow the routine? Can you avoid his easy counting of plum blossoms by not following the routine?"
Old man Gu explained: "You don't know how to count plum blossoms. It's not your fault. My teacher never taught you"
Several apprentices raised their hands at the same time: "Teacher, the principle was explained in an issue of "Junshan Notes" last year."
Old man Gu took a breath, took a deep breath, straightened his thoughts, and asked: "Now that you have seen it, it will be easier to talk about it as a teacher"
The boss shook his head: "I've read it in "Junshan Notes", but I haven't read it. Have any of my fellow juniors read it?"
The second child is alsoHead: "No, it's too complicated and I can't understand it."
The third child was deep in thought, trying to remember: "I'm already dizzy just reading the question. What's it called?"
The fourth child replied: "Matrix research on the parameters of plum blossom easy numbers!"
The three senior brothers praised in unison: "Yes, yes, that's the name. Fourth brother, you are so awesome. You can actually understand it? It's amazing!"
The fourth child took out a booklet from his storage bag, waved it to a few senior brothers, and said, "I haven't read it either, but I have stored every issue of "Junshan Notes" in my storage bag, isn't that right?"
Old Man Gu pulled the "Junshan Notes" that his disciples were holding that had traveled through time and threw it aside. He shouted, "Don't read it anymore. You may not be able to understand it after reading it for a lifetime. Just listen to me and explain it briefly. The biggest plum blossom is easy to count." The characteristic is to substitute parameters for research. Statements such as assassination and ambush are all important parameters. We no longer assassinate, we change to explicit killing. Not only explicit killing, we also do not preset the ambush location or the ambush time. I want to see how he calculates!"
Several disciples were a little confused: "Teacher, is it okay to kill him openly?"
Old Man Gu nodded and said: "We will wait around Xuantanfang. As soon as he shows up, we will take action. No matter who sees him first, he will shout "Death to the traitor". After shouting, the others will surround him. To annihilate it, we will do it openly and openly, this is an open killing, do you think Zhao Zhiran could have thought of it?"
The third child raised his hand: "Teacher, you cannot preset the location."
Old man Gu thought for a while and said with approval: "The third child is right. Let's just walk around the streets and alleys of Xuantanfang and attack him wherever we see him. This way there will be no preset location."
"when to go?"
"Did you forget that you can't preset the time?"
"Yes, Senior Brother is right. Let's go to the Qinhuai River for dinner tonight. After dinner, we can take a stroll. In short, we are strolling around. When we see the person named Zhao, when will we take action? There is no forewarning. Set up time so that he can¡¯t calculate!¡±
Old man Gu finally solemnly warned the four disciples: "You must remember carefully. Don't even think about assassinations, ambush, time, place, etc. in your mind!"
