Questioning Heaven, Desiring the Way - Chapter 2
[Chapter 2: Closing Cause and Effect]
“I didn’t expect you to know so much about us cultivators. Are you planning to go to the disciple selection seven days later?” The man didn’t mean to be angry when he heard this.
He knew that what the other said was right.
Although Gu Suihan’s words were somewhat ironic.
This time, under the guise of arresting meticulous work, he finally came out for a walk. By the way, he took a look at the disciple selection held in the next few days to see if he could get close to some people with excellent qualifications.
Mixed face familiar.
“Let’s talk about it later.” Gu Suihan just nodded indifferently when he heard the words, but his appearance obviously made the other party a little puzzled.
Ordinary people all yearn for longevity, but seeing Gu Suihan’s appearance obviously doesn’t take it to heart.
Just when he wanted to ask.
But seeing Gu Suihan looking up at the sky, he said lightly, “It’s dawn.”
After speaking, without waiting for the other person to answer, he took the jug to himself and left slowly.
“What a strange person.” The man muttered, and with strength under his feet, he strode across the wall in a few steps.
Gu Suihan walked slowly to the main hall, and according to the rules, he wanted to greet his parents.
In fact, most of the parents and relatives in the family don’t like drinking Gu Suihan very much.
Because they feel that Gu Suihan’s eyes often make them very uncomfortable.
Not only one person has had this feeling.
Gu Suihan’s father, Gu Qingfeng thought it was just a young adult at first, and he was a little happy at first, but as his son grew up, he finally found that Gu Suihan’s eyes were like a stranger, extremely indifferent and calm.
Like a god who looks down on all beings.
For a long time, Gu Suihan mostly lived by himself in a small courtyard on the edge of the mansion, and everyone was usually strangers.
And Gu Suihan never asks for daily expenses from his family.
I don’t know how to get the money.
On weekdays, food, clothing, housing and travel are more extravagant than those of the patriarchs and elders like Gu Qingfeng.
It’s not that no one has hit Gu Suihan’s idea, but the body is often found hanging on the mass grave outside the city the next day.
Among them is the second brother of Gu Qingfeng, the second uncle of Gu Suihan.
Since then, Gu Suihan has rarely communicated with outsiders.
Going to please this time is just because Gu Suihan felt that it was time to take this opportunity to cut off the blood karma of this fleshly body.
He is used to being alone, and he has no idea of revitalizing the family or forming forces at all.
To him, these things were worth the loss compared to the value they brought.
The parents were already sitting in the side hall for dinner, Gu Suihan straightened his clothes at the door, stepped forward and bowed, “Child, please give my parents peace.”
Hearing the sound, Gu Qingfeng’s chopsticks could not help but eat.
He knew very well that this son would go to the Three Treasures Hall on weekdays, and it was normal that he would not see each other for more than ten days.
Came here suddenly today to greet you.
But it caught him off guard.
After all, after floating and sinking for half a lifetime, although Gu Qingfeng was puzzled in his heart, he said, “Get up, sit down and eat together.” Before he finished speaking, he found that Gu Suihan was already sitting opposite him.
Seeing this, Gu Qingfeng raised his brows, and was about to reprimand him when he opened his mouth, but Naihe stumbled for a while, but in the end he just sighed silently, and said slowly, “I came here early today, is there something urgent?”
“No,” Gu Suihan took a bite of the dish, then put down his chopsticks, looked at the people in front of him, paused, and then said, “Wait until the big brother and the others come.”
Ok?
Gu Qingfeng instinctively felt a little strange, but he didn’t care too much, thinking that Gu Suihan had something important to discuss with them.
The last time this was discussed was when Gu Suihan’s second uncle died without a whole body.
Thinking of this, he inexplicably lost his appetite.
Having lived for most of his life, traveling from south to north, Gu Qingfeng, as a businessman, has done dirty things in secret, but after killing his elders like his son, he can still eat and drink as if nothing had happened. He asked himself that he couldn’t do it.
The whole side hall put down the dishes along with Gu Qingfeng, so calm that even his wife Mrs. Shen didn’t dare to make a sound.
For fear of making the owner unhappy.
This Mrs. Shen is not Gu Suihan’s biological mother,
When Gu Suihan was a few years old, his biological mother died of frailty, and it was peaceful to go.
This Mrs. Shen is the mother of his eldest and third child, and usually does not have the bullshit problem of the stepmother bullying pig’s feet in the novel.
Everyone is more than just meeting and saying hello.
While several people were thinking about it, several other sons of Gu Qingfeng also came one after another.
When he saw Gu Suihan sitting at the dining table, he couldn’t help being a little surprised.
There are many calculations in mind.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Gu Suihan knocked on the table and said plainly, “I have two thousand taels of gold.”
As soon as these words came out, the noisy voices in the room disappeared.
“What did you say?” Boss Gu Xinran’s arm that held the bowl creaked as the porcelain bowl was squeezed hard.
In contrast, the second old Gu Xinqing didn’t make such a big movement, but when he looked closely at the chopsticks that had been pinched in his hand, he knew that he was not at peace.
“I said, I have 2,000 taels of gold,” Gu Suihan lowered his eyelids, swept over a few people with a half-smile, and repeated: “I can give it to you, but you must make an oath. From now on, there will be no more between the Gu family and Gu Suihan. Any cause and effect. And to wipe my name off the family tree.”
When several people heard the words, they couldn’t help but look at the old man Gu Qingfeng who had been silent since the beginning.
Although he is on the verge of death, he is still the patriarch of the Gu family, which cannot be questioned.
The old man knocked on the table thoughtfully, but suddenly asked: “I can decide to remove you from the family, but change the family tree. But I want you to give us a suitable answer.”
Ask yourself, the old man actually doesn’t want to do this, but when he sees the eager eyes in the eyes of the boss and the second, he can’t say his refusal.
After all, although Gu Suihan has various unpleasant things, it is always his bloodline.
What does two thousand taels of gold represent?
It means that the family business in charge of the second child has expanded by at least five times, and has greater confidence to develop to other regions.
It means that the boss can use these silver taels to take the opportunity to transfer to the DPRK, saving at least 30 years of promotion.
“I want to cultivate Taoism.” Gu Suihan was indifferent to the old man’s questioning, but rolled his eyelids: “People who cultivate Taoism are the most taboo to be tied by cause and effect. Although I have a normal relationship with the clan since childhood, the cause and effect of blood is not arbitrarily settled. of.”
At this point, the old man opened his mouth in vain, and finally turned into a sigh for life.
Gu Suihan looked at the old man’s body, which seemed to be even older, and stood up indifferently and said, “Since there is no objection. Now go to the ancestral hall and ask for the genealogy to end the matter.” As he spoke, he walked outside.
“Hold on.”
At this moment, the silent boss Gu Xinran suddenly stopped drinking: “Third brother, you can speak out about this great treason? My father is already old, and it’s fine for you to be filial by your side from time to time, but how can you do it now? To do something so absurd. And…”
“And I don’t know where you got that golden leaf. Such a large sum must not be a legitimate way.” Gu Xinqing, the second brother on the side, said suddenly.
“Hey!” Gu Suihan’s body suddenly froze, and he turned to look at the two brothers who were full of desire, and sneered: “What about the ill-gotten wealth? Could it be that the eldest brother still wants to take me down, and the torture will not be successful? ”
Saying that, Gu Suihan walked up to him, narrowed his eyes and said plainly, “Do you dare?”
“You…” Gu Xinran stood up and shouted angrily: “You treat me…”
“Snapped!”
He was forced to shut his mouth before he could finish his sentence. Gu Suihan slowly retracted his arm: “Of course you don’t dare. If you take me down, it’s still up to you whether the money will end up in your hands.”
“And, are you sure you can take me down?” After speaking, Gu Suihan’s dull eyes suddenly burst into an amazing murderous intent.
Gu Xinran’s eyes were flushed, and he was shaking with anger.
But he didn’t dare to move at all.
Look into Gu Suihan’s eyes.
His years of experience as an official told Gu Xinran that the fate of acting rashly would never be much better than that of the second uncle who was hanging in the mass grave.
“Now, can I go to the ancestral hall?” Gu Suihan swept his two older brothers.
He lowered his eyelids to cover up the piercing light, and asked lightly.
The voice was calm, but it seemed to contain a biting chill.
For a while, the whole room only left the sound of the chopsticks in Gu Xinqing’s hand.
Although Gu Suihan seemed to warn Gu Xinran just now, the corner of his eye made Gu Xinqing, who had fallen down, sit like a needle.
With the brains of a businessman, he now regrets his obsession just now.
As soon as Gu Suihan’s voice came out, he and the boss couldn’t help but ignore the 2,000 taels of gold. What they wanted was the means to search for gold.
But what happened later made several people suddenly wake up.
Some people, some things, don’t try to cross the line.
“Let’s go.” The old man has been watching with a cold eye, watching the conflicting words of several people in the room, and suddenly smiled bitterly.
With the help of servants, he walked to the ancestral hall.
Everyone filed out, leaving Gu Xinran alone in the side hall.

“Bastard.” Gu Xinran kicked the dining table in front of him with one foot, his eyes red with anger.
He clenched his fists fiercely and squeezed between his teeth: “Gu Suihan, I’m going to kill you!”
However, when recalling Gu Suihan’s cold eyes.
But it was useless.
“Xu Dao, he wants to cultivate.” Gu Xinran suddenly seemed to have caught something. “Seven Evil Sect. Gu Suihan must be going to Seven Evil Sect.”
Gu Xinran looked in the direction of the ancestral hall, squinting and thinking silently.
The family tree was successfully resolved.
Gu Suihan seems to have lifted a little of the burden on his body.
Simply tell the old man where the gold was hidden neatly. As for how he distributes it, it doesn’t matter what happened to Gu Suihan.
Without saying hello to anyone, Gu Suihan easily took a bag and left the old house where he had stayed for more than ten years.
Stepping out of the door, Gu Suihan thought of what happened at the dinner table just now for no reason.
Gu Xinran’s red eyes and hideous expression.
“I hope you don’t do anything to regret.” Thinking of this, Gu Suihan’s mouth subconsciously evoked a hideous smile.
As for the monasticism just mentioned.
He did have this plan.
Although there are many kinds of memory powers and magical powers.
But after all, this is not the place that once let him run wild in the world, and he does not know the specific cultivation method in this world.
Power ceiling.
Didn’t even know the minimum rules.
That’s right, the so-called Taoism was called cultivation in ancient times.
But it’s not the bullshit cultivator in the secular novels.
In the final analysis, becoming an immortal and becoming a Buddha is just a point in the pursuit of the Dao.
