Chapter 807 Octopus

  Muyuan Qingbai, Miaotang Chengyun, these are the eight great families of Annan County.

   It’s hard to say that it started many years ago. Several aristocratic families took root here, then prospered, and then gradually developed into the “Eight Greats”.

   Influenced by some internal and external factors, these eight families, in order to reduce disputes and enhance their strength, gathered together and established a sect, named "Bajitang".

   Baji Hall is closed to the outside world, and only the children of these eight families are accepted.

   Internally, the eight companies are treated equally, no matter which of the eight companies is stronger, which is weaker, which is a bit outrageous, or which is weak to the brink of collapse.

   A time measured in a thousand years is considered a long time even for practitioners.

   After such a long time, it's not that there have been turmoils. In one of them, a certain family had an extraordinary character, and then this family also had an idea that it shouldn't have.

   It wants to take over the entire Bajitang with the generation of eight.

   At this time, the clan elders of this aristocratic family were collectively opposed, opposed to their patriarch, and opposed to their pride.

   is not a collective, after all, there are still many people who agree with the head of the family.

   But the voice of opposition is not small.

   Outside, the opposition from the other seven families, no matter how much the opposition and the louder the noise, the Patriarch doesn't care, but so many elders in his own family are against it, he can't ignore it.

   He can also completely expel these clan elders.

   But then, the family will inevitably split.

   I don't know what kind of accident happened in the middle. In the end, the owner of the family took some of his clansmen who were close to him and went to Shangzhou to develop, leaving a sentence: "They are stupid and old people! Look at the sun."

  A thousand years have passed.

  The family that split off had a glorious past, and it was still quite prosperous.

   But there are prosperity and decline.

   decayed to the extreme and vanished.

   And here, the Annan County, the county seat, and the eight aristocratic families have all had their ups and downs over a long period of time. Not to mention, some of them have fallen into successive generations of the family, and no leading figures have appeared.

  If it is outside, then in fact, this family has already gone to ruin.

   But here, there is Bajitang.

  Bajitang, treat all people equally.

   Even if you have been ruined to the extreme!

   As long as you are one of the eight aristocratic families, as long as there are people in your family!

   Then each generation has a fixed number of children.

   Efforts to cultivate!

   Regardless of the cost!

  Each family has had its downfalls, and then the consensus was concluded and unbreakable.

   At this point, the eight great families re-established the covenant and reaffirmed the purpose—

   Bajitang is the Bajitang of eight families. Without any of them, it cannot be tolerated. That means incompetence and betrayal of all families.

   Betray the sky, betray the earth, betray the ancestors, betray the sect.

   During the millennium, other large and small families in Annan County, as well as emerging forces and scattered cultivators, formed another sect, Sihaimen.

  Sihaimen is open to the public and has a pretty good reputation.

In view of its "inclusive and inclusive" purpose, after a long time, its momentum has not been inferior to Bajitang, or even surpassed in some respects. Like forces, they rise and fall.

   When it rises, it becomes great, and when it falls, it is ruined.

   The calamity will last for a long time, and the dilapidation cannot continue.

  The four sea gates made of iron, the flowing families and loose repairs.

   In this way, in the power of Annan County, Bajitang and Sihaimen stand side by side like two peaks, but their styles are very different.

   And they rarely intersect with each other, most of the time.

  You take your Yangguan Road, and I cross my single-plank bridge.

   Bajitang.

   There is one hall master, seven vice hall masters, and twenty-four deacons.

   These thirty-two people are the core and master of Bajitang, responsible for all internal and external affairs of Bajitang.

   On this day, in the Dongshan Mountains, within the Baji Ridge.

   "So, Xu Yishan personally invited him?"

   The one who said this was the head of Bajitang, Cheng Shaoan, who came from a family, and was also a middle-class person.

   "Yes, the condition given by Xu Yishan is cooperation, and he has also vacated a yard on Dongzheng Street. His meaning has been clearly expressed." Yuan Shandao, the deputy head of the hall, said.

   "The courtyard on Dongzheng Street?" Cheng Shaoan was quite surprised.

"Yeah, and it happens to be right next to the yard where I temporarily live. I don't know what Lao Xu is thinking." Yuanshan said with a smile, "I have analyzed it with Laomu, and his opinion is the same as mine. This should be Xu Yishan put a lot of money and wanted to go fishing."

   "Are you sure there is someone behind you?" Cheng Shaoan asked.

   "I'm not sure if anyone, but the formula is really unusual, it doesn't look like something that Annan County can have."

   And of course Cheng Shaoan understood what he meant.

   It’s not like something that Annan County can have, it’s just outside.

   And the outside related to Qingshui City...

   That's only one place.

   Western Xinjiang.

   But when the two discussed this topic next, they also fell into a situation similar to that of Xu Yishan and the others.

"Laomu and I can't figure this out either." Yuan Shandao said, "If this formula doesn't come from the Western Border, it shouldn't appear in Qingshui City at all. If it does come from the Western Border, then it should only be in Qingshui City. And not in the county seat, and in such a ridiculous way."

   "Have you sent someone to Qingshui City to investigate?"

   "Go, it's not just us, the county governor's house, Zihua Pavilion, Yakushitang, Mingshan Sect, Chaoshan Sect, Lanshui Sect, and Sihaimen, all sent people there." Yuan Shandao said with a half-smile.

"This is the gathering of the seven sects in Qingshui, hehe." Cheng Shaoan also smiled strangely, "For many years, the seven sects have not been so 'unified'. - What do you and Laomu mean? "

   He did not ask about the results of the investigation.

Since   Wonsan-do didn't say anything, it was naturally useless.

   "I'm going to get close in person." Yuan Shandao said, "Don't they live next door, and the new neighbors move in. As an old neighbor, it's normal for me to come and visit, right?"

   "Haha." Cheng Shaoan pointed at him and smiled, "Lao Yuan, I've wronged you."

   "I can't talk about grievances. I estimate that the courtyard will be as lively as Qingshui City for a while." Yuan Shandao said.

   "In terms of cooperation... is it possible for us to take part?" Cheng Shaoan pondered.

   "Pharmacist Hall is definitely involved, Zihua Pavilion is not sure yet." Yuan Shandao also pondered, "It's not difficult to get that formula, but it doesn't make any sense, and we can't go around Yakushitang."

   "This is the key to the key, Lao Yuan, what is the effect of that formula?"

  Cheng Shaoan often goes to small retreats, and he just came out yesterday.

   "I asked the disciples in Medicine Hall, and the answer they gave me was that Gan Congshi didn't quite understand it." Yuan Shandao said with a strange expression.

   "Lao Gan? Not only the prescription, but also the effect?" Cheng Shaoan was really surprised.

   "Yes, Laomu and I have also tasted it. That soup is very fresh, fragrant and delicious, but that's it. After drinking it, there is no aura reaction."

   There is no aura reaction, that is mortal.

   This nails the hierarchy.

not tall!

   is not worth taking too seriously!

   But this is only the first half of Yuanshan Road's words. After a short pause, he said again: "After drinking it once, I want to drink it a second time."

   "Laomu they too."
