Nearly ten months have passed, and Gu Yucheng and the four of them have only stayed in the bamboo house all day long, and can only wander outside the house at a distance of only 300 steps.
The two monks were still guarding outside the bamboo house, and the four of them didn't care much about the secret surveillance.
Gu Yucheng used this time to recover from injuries caused by the coercion of the third elder Pan Xiaochu, and also prepared to deal with the elders of the Beishi clan.
At noon that day, two monks brought food.
Jiang Yongshou looked at the sweet potatoes, taro, honey and barnyard wine in front of him. He was already a little collapsed. He took the barnyard wine and drank it in a big gulp.
Although he was drinking heavily and the sound was constant, not a drop of wine was spilled, so it was not wasted.
Jiang Yongshou drank a lot in one breath, opened his mouth and burped loudly, and cursed, "It's so naughty! It's been more than a month! I haven't eaten meat! My belly is flat!"
Gu Yucheng glanced at the bottom of the drink and said comfortingly, "You have wine to drink every day, which is not bad for you!"
Jiang Yongshou muttered angrily, "If there is no cold-cut beef, isn't there a river in the mountains? You can also grill a fish."
Gu Yucheng chewed taro and looked at the two people beside him.
The two of them usually stood aside and waited for the four of them to finish eating, then clean up the leftovers - if there were any - and take away the tableware with them. But today, he hesitated to speak. Naturally, he wanted to say something.
Gu Yucheng signaled, "If you have anything to do, just tell me."
The two of them tried to remain respectful and said softly, "Elder Pan Zongzhen invites you to have dinner with us to meet the elders of our clan."
Due to the ancient spiritual power, the ordinary monks of the Beishi clan respected Gu Yucheng extremely. ——Eager to the point of being explicit.
Gu Yucheng nodded and said, "I'm done eating. Let's go."
The two were stunned for a moment, then nodded and went ahead.
The remaining three people watched Gu Yucheng walk away, not wanting to eat anything more.
Jiang Yongshou threw down the sweet potatoes and gnashed his teeth, "One day, I want to eat all the fresh fish and tender meat in this mountain!"
This time, Susukino rarely refuted Jiang Yongshou, "Yes! - Absolutely!"
Wen Qiyu stared at the white, smooth and tender taro in his hand for a long time. When he looked up again, he could no longer see Gu Yucheng.
…
Gu Yucheng followed the footsteps of the two monks, and unknowingly, Zhu's charming eyes had strayed into the depths.
His footsteps closely followed the footsteps of the two monks in front of him, and there was no change after traveling for a long time.
Until the fragrance of flowers stirred up in his heart, Gu Yucheng suddenly realized that he had reached his destination.
Before facing the elders of the Beishi tribe, Gu Yucheng had already mobilized Gan Yuan and was extremely vigilant.
Pushing open the courtyard door, you enter the wide courtyard and drive straight to a bamboo house.
The two monks stopped a hundred steps in front of the bamboo hut, bowed and said to the inside of the bamboo hut, "Elder, Chief Gu has arrived."
A strange voice came from inside the bamboo hut: "Step back. - Gu Li, please come in."
The two monks bowed and retreated, leaving Gu Yucheng alone outside the bamboo house.
Gu Yucheng's eyes widened, Gan Yuan placed it on his soul, and he had already taken a look at the environment inside and outside the bamboo house.
Feeling confident in my heart and walking confidently, I arrived outside the bamboo house and opened the bamboo door.
What catches the eye are two waves of elders on the left and right.
On the right are four female elders of the Pan family. Behind them stands Pan Zongzhen, smiling at Gu Yucheng.
On the left side are two plump elders, with white and moist skin, really like white jade; the flesh is thick and plump, like boiled taro.
One of the two elders was the first to speak.
The elder with a lush beard introduced him, "I am Elder Zhu Huai'en of the Beishi clan. This is Pan Zhiwen."
Zhu Huaien pointed at Pan Zhiwen, who was not very energetic.
Gu Yucheng nodded and then remained silent.
The so-called "waiting for price" means "waiting for price" only when there are people competing for it.
Previously, the fourth elder of the Pan family met Gu Yucheng alone, and there were really few conditions that Gu Yucheng could negotiate.
But now that the two parties are negotiating with Gu Yucheng and they are still hostile, the treatment Gu Yucheng can receive has become more generous. Naturally, he won’t speak easily.
And in order to test Zhu Huaien and Pan Zhiwen's attitude towards ancient spiritual power, Gu Yucheng could not speak first.
Regarding Gu Yucheng's attitude, Zhu and Pan looked much better than the four Pan elders.
Zhu Huaien even said, "The four elders are mainly responsible for the establishment of a clan in Beishi. The two of us are only responsible for such trivial matters as offering sacrifices and making money to support the clan. We think Chief Gu's conditions are acceptable."
Gu Yucheng couldn't help laughing.
The Shishi clan, no, all the clans on Dongning Island attach great importance to sacrifice. It’s not like he doesn’t know about this. How can the sacrifice be a no-nonsense matter?
What's more, isn't making money to support the clan equal to controlling money? ——This can be regarded as a great deal of power.
The pressure is on the four elders.
The four Pan elders looked very angry.
Zhu Huaien agreed first, and if they agreed again, wouldn't it become insignificant in Gu Yucheng's eyes? It was as if he agreed with Allen Chu!
Pan Zongzhen nodded with a smile, "The Great Elder agreed with Gu Lichang to come to meet. I would like to ask if there is anything else that Gu Lichang wants?"
Gu Yucheng chuckled in his heart, but also felt a little apprehensive.
Pan Zongzhen emphasized the great elder's kindness in agreeing to meet and added benefits. This situation would never have happened without the presence of elders Zhu and Pan.
However, the way Pan Zongzhen spoke wantonly made Gu Yucheng wake up: Although Pan Zongzhen did not have the highest status in the Shishe clan, as the mouthpiece of the four Pan clan elders, the power he held was by no means superficial.
Gu Yucheng pondered for a while. His purpose was to make the two sides fight and give himself more room for relaxation.
Now that I have met Zhu Huai'en, my goal has been achieved, so there is no need to rush to raise conditions for the time being.
So Gu Yucheng said, "I have a subordinate who can't give up minced meat. I hope there will be meat in my meals in the future."
Pan Zhiwen, who had not spoken yet, responded, "It's a small matter."
Gu Yucheng nodded and replied, "There is no other need. - Elders can choose monks to learn ancient spiritual power in my bamboo house."
There was sudden silence.
After a long time, Pan Xiaoning asked, "So simple?"
Gu Yucheng nodded, "I have no choice."
There was another moment of silence.
Zhu Huaien nodded, "Yes. Then I'll send Chief Gu back. - I think the two monks taking care of Chief Gu will inevitably make some omissions and cause inconvenience, so I'll add one more person, okay?"
Pan Xiaoning snorted coldly when he heard this, "Whatever."
What care? Not just surveillance. ——Zhu Huaien also wanted to monitor Gu Yucheng and also be wary of Pan Xiaoning's people.
Zhu Huaien smiled faintly, "Yeah. Then let Pan Feng go. - Pan Feng!"
The door opened in response, and an elder walked in.
Gu Yucheng took a closer look and saw that it was the female elder who participated in the Southern Lion Clan Creation Ceremony.
Pan Feng must not be very old, but he has a face as bitter as a debt collector and as contemptuous as a philistine. He has the same face even when facing Zhu Huai'en, which is really disgusting.
But Gu Yucheng likes this kind of person - if his attitude is written on his face, the reasons behind it may not be hidden much.
Pan Feng glanced at Gu Yucheng and said coldly, "Gu Li, come with me."
The two walked out of the bamboo house, and neither Zhu Huaien nor Pan Xiaoning moved.
There were monks from both sides hiding inside and outside the bamboo house.
No one knows what the other person wants to do or what he will do, and neither dares to leave, nor will he let the other person leave.
It wasn't until the north wind blew up that both parties stood up at the same time and walked away from each other.
At this time, the north wind became more and more restless, and several green bamboo poles broke in the bamboo forest.
After walking for a long time, Gu and Pan suddenly stopped.
Gu Yucheng looked at the wrinkled river surface and scattered cloud shadows beside him, and sighed, "The north wind is coming..."
Pan Feng took out the bright silver sword from the Three Lives Ring and said, "You won't survive until this winter."
