Chapter 020 Take a Breath(1/2)
Shangguan Yun glared at the eldest son in dissatisfaction.
I was stupid back then, because the countryman was a new arrival and had no knowledge. Now, it is a guide to the Taoist temple. I have been living in Yujing City for most of my life. Knowing that it is destined to be futile, why do you agree to waste his time?
Shangguan Xuan: "I know what you think, but how can you be the guide? Isn't it because of the detours that you stumbled away?"
Shangguan Yun was stunned, as if he was touched.
Gu Wuyou: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't ask for your opinions. I am not a vassal of the Shangguan family, I have the final say on my own."
Shangguan Xuan smiled and said, "But you have no money. It takes a lot of financial support to participate in the sect assessment. He runs thousands or tens of thousands of miles at any time, and starves to death without any travel expenses. You have the ambition to be a monk, and the Shangguan family has money, so it's just right to cooperate."
In Xu Qing's opinion, combining with monks is Shangguan Yi's best choice.
Others are not stupid, so of course they understand this truth.
If Gu Wuyou loses his luck, even if he is attracted by the smallest sect and turns himself into a monk, the Shangguan family will immediately have a promising foundation.
This has nothing to do with whether Shangguan Yi will be the future head of the family.
After marrying a monk, she will take care of her husband and children from then on, and she will still be the daughter of the Shangguan family. No one will easily provoke a family with a monk's son-in-law.
Shangguan said: "It's okay to try it. As a Taoist instructor, I also know several monks, so I can recommend it to you. But at your age, I don't have much hope, but it doesn't matter. At worst, we can visit all the sects in the Middle Land."
Gu Wuyou bowed and saluted: "Thank you then."
Someone introduced him, but Gu Wuyou certainly would not refuse. Although he could also hear that referrals did not mean going to the back door, and Shangguan Yun did not have that much face.
"The premise is that you have to marry Yi'er first."
"ah?"
Shangguan said: "Don't get me wrong. I am not threatening you with this matter. The women of Shangguan family will not be unable to get married. You and Yi'er have an engagement. If you get married soon, I will let go of my worries and Yi'er will be at ease."
I believe you, a big-headed ghost!
If this weren't a threat, Dao would chop his head and kick it as a ball.
Cultivators are from Taoists, but they are not considered monks. The sect is similar to the secular sects that were ten thousand years ago. Cultivators can get married or have offspring.
The problem is that everyone’s cultivation philosophy is also consistent.
As the saying goes, "If you follow the rules, you will be in a state of rebellion, you will be immortal." If ordinary people want to master the power that transcends the world, they must refine themselves and restrain their essence. The higher the level of cultivation, the more stable the Yuanyang, the more difficult it is to give birth to offspring.
Therefore, even secular practitioners generally do not marry ordinary people.
Because it is difficult to satisfy ordinary people's desire to have children.
Having said that, the so-called cultivation family that was thousands of years ago was not borne by the practitioners. After all, members of a family cannot have the talent for cultivation, and it is enough for those members who do not have the opportunity to practice to get married and have children normally.
The situation of monks ten thousand years later is similar.
Singleness is the mainstream, and a few monks will become Taoist couples with fellow monks - a special marriage relationship that does not require a marriage ceremony and does not have the responsibility to give birth to offspring.
Fewer people marry or marry ordinary people, but there are indeed. Cultivation requires resources. Some monks have low status in the sect and do not get enough resources. They rely on marriage with wealthy families to improve the cultivation environment, and each achieves needs and cooperates with win-win cooperation.
But that was also after becoming a monk.
Before he became a monk, he became a relative first...how could such a thing be done?
There are thousands of disciples from Taihao Taoist Temple. Who has ever seen his daughter-in-law and children come to see him off in groups every time the school starts?
Gu Wuyou doesn’t understand the circle of monks, and you can think of it with your heels. It is difficult for older young people to be monks, and it is even more difficult for married older young people to be monks!
What touched me, what was recommended to me, and visiting sects, were all fooling people. He must have thought that once he became a relative and tasted the "sweetness", the young couple was as close as a couple, so how could they have the intention to become monks?
So sinister, Dao will never be fooled!
"I'm sorry, I can't agree to you." Gu Wuyou's attitude was firm. "The head of the family keeps his promise, and I admire him very much. The wealthy family cares about face, and the boy can afford to lose his youth. I am willing to take the initiative to terminate the engagement."
Shangguan Yun's face sank: "What's this? If you take the initiative to terminate the engagement, will I not be embarrassed?"
"It's better than delaying Shangguan Yi's youth."
Shangguan Xuan, who had been lazy, couldn't help but interrupt again: "Father, I think this method is OK!"
"You know what's wrong, shut up!"
Shangguan Yun scolded his son and frowned and looked at Gu Wuyou.
"I said it again, I have no intention of threatening you. Since you don't want to, just pretend I didn't say it. It will still be recommended for you, and it is natural to support you in visiting the sect. Yi'er has been waiting for so many years, so you can continue to wait!"
Gu Wuyou was shocked.
This old man...well, the old man seems to be really kind to him.
But why?
People in the world have a lot of sinister hearts. Gu Wuyou and the old Taoist have experienced it for so many years. Could it be that both masters and apprentices are wrong? The more powerful and powerful a person, the higher his moral character?
In any case, Shangguan Yun has said this. If Gu Wuyou still goes to conspiracy and tricks, he would be sorry for his conscience.
However, he still couldn't accept Shangguan Yun's kindness.
Because he can't repay others.
"Your kindness is appreciated by your kindness. I will not receive any rewards without merit. I have my own plans and can earn travel expenses. I will participate in the assessment by myself." Gu Wuyou shook his head and said.
Shangguan Yun stared at Gu Wuyou for a long time.
"You little bastard, you are really Mantang's grandson." Shangguan Yun sighed, "Mantang was like this at the beginning..."
Shangguan Yun became well-developed, so he naturally wanted to lead the young man. Not to mention turning the Gu family into a wealthy family - he couldn't do it, and it was still not a big problem to go to the next level. The wealthy family has privileges, and the governments in Sanjiang County have to give face.
Unfortunately, Gu Mantang didn't accept it at all.
Now Gu Wuyou is like this, which makes Shangguan Yun sigh.
"Forget it." Shangguan Yunyi waved his hand in a leisurely manner, "I guess you don't want to live in the Shangguan family. You are inexplicably arrogant... You can do whatever you want, but you can't solve the problem when you encounter it. Don't forget that you, Grandpa Shangguan."
...
Gu Wuyou and Lu Xuan walked out of the Shangguan Mansion.
Behind the two were Shangguan Yi and Gu Pan with a dazed expression.
The Shangguan Mansion is too big and complicated. If no one gives it to Gu Wuyou will definitely get lost. This was Xu Qing's business—ordinary people naturally don't need to bother the general manager, who made Gu Wuyou the future husband of Miss Sun?
As a result, Shangguan Yi volunteered to pull Gu Pan to give it to someone on behalf of Xu Qing.
Xu Qing felt that Miss Sun was a little mean... Cough cough.
That bastard is obviously not afraid of you, and what is even more excessive is that he actually wants to break off the engagement. You and him are not the legendary childhood sweetheart, so why bother to rush to make things boring?
There is also the head of the family. Since the other party is not happy, it just happened to terminate the engagement. Everyone is relaxed. How perfect?
Xu Qing wanted to break his head, but he couldn't understand Shangguan Yun's ideas.
Perhaps this is why people can become a guide and create a wealthy family, but they work very hard, so they have to be a vassal and a general manager?
Gu Wuyou bowed to the two of them: "Just send it here."
Gu Pan looked confused: "Brother..."
Gu Wuyou: "Believe me, it's better for you to stay in Shangguan's family for the time being. You can't stand the suffering that I'm used to. When I become a monk, reach the peak of my life, I can't take it... to suck..."
"CEO." Lu Xuan reminded.
"Yes, take a sip. In short, I will pick you up when I have the capital to take care of you."
It is obviously illogical to say that Gu Wuyou has a deep affection for Gu Panduo. In the past, he didn't even know that he had parents, and at least it took eight months to digest it. Today, he found out that he still has a sister, and he couldn't talk about feelings for a while.
Feelings are cultivated, and blood connection is a false proposition.
For example, children who have been given away since childhood will naturally be closer to their adoptive parents. If they know that their parents do not care about the former's raising grace, what's that?
It can be said that whether it is going home to meet your parents or saying that you can pick up Gu Pan at this moment, it is more of a responsibility for Gu Wuyou.
"Okay then." Gu Pan lowered his head, "I'll wait for you."
Gu Pan knew since she was a child that she had a biological brother, so although she had never seen her before, her feelings for Gu Wuyou were completely different from those for Gu Wuyou.
Gu Wuyou nodded to Shangguan Yi.
Pull up Lu Xuan, turn around and leave.
"Xiao Pan, tell me the truth." Shangguan Yi looked at Gu Wuyou's back and said quietly, "I'm... ugly?"
Gu Pan: "Don't think about it all, you are beautiful, my brother is blind."
Shangguan Yi: "He is not blind. His eyes are very bright and very big."
Gu Pan: "I have no objection to having a god. As for the big picture... I think it should be because I can't eat enough for a long time and people are too thin."
"Yes, your eyes are very similar, you don't give me this feeling." Shangguan Yi suddenly looked worried, "He has no money and no ability, and he is still a bad temper. He refuses to accept the support from the Shangguan family. What if he starves to death!"
The steps ahead were obviously paused.
Gu Pan laughed.
Shangguan Yi: "What are you laughing at? What I am talking about is the fact."
Gu Pan: "Then he took the initiative to terminate the engagement, but you still refuse to agree?"
It doesn’t matter if you don’t have money, who would like a man who is not capable?
