In the middle of the night, in a secluded alley.

"The largest family in the city is named Fang. The Fang family is usually charitable and has a high prestige in the city."

"And the Fang family holds a grand banquet on the fifteenth day of every month, and all residents in the city can participate."

After a discussion between Gu Zhao and Tao Nansi, they agreed that not only the Fang family had a problem, but the Fang family's banquet was even more problematic.

Moreover, Gu Zhao also discovered a detail, "The black energy between the eyebrows of the monks in the city is deeper and heavier. Will it make any difference?"

"Is it possible to judge whether the 'grain' is mature based on the intensity of the black air?"

"It's very possible." Tao Nansi lowered her eyes and thought deeply, "It will be the fifteenth of this month in two days."

Gu Zhao rubbed the thumb of his left hand with his right hand and raised a smirk at the corner of his mouth, "Then let's pretend to be 'mature grain' and give the Fang family a big surprise!"

Then the two discussed the details. Because they were afraid of alerting the enemy, they did not stay in an inn, but hid in a deserted alley for one night.

Two days passed by in a flash. During this period, they also tried to sneak into Fang's house, but found nothing. They could only wait until the day of the banquet to try again.

*

The sun was shining high, the breeze was rustling, the door of Fang Mansion was open, and the courtyard was bustling like a city.

Gu Zhao and Tao Nansi, one behind the other, pretended to be ordinary citizens and blended into the crowd.

When entering the gate, Gu Zhao was keenly aware that the guards of Fang Mansion glanced at everyone's eyebrows.

Her heart moved slightly, but her face remained calm as she followed the people in front of her and continued walking in.

The Fang Mansion's house is very large, with tables spread out and it can accommodate about seven to eight hundred people.

You must know that there are only more than 3,000 people in Luoyan City. Taking into account the elderly, children and ordinary people who cannot practice, there are at most more than 1,000 monks.

As far as he could see, almost all the seats were occupied, which meant that most of the monks in Luoyan City were present, which was enough to show the appeal of Fang Mansion.

In order to avoid suspicion, Gu Zhao and Tao Nansi did not sit together. They faced each other far away, so that they could see each other, but they did not appear to be close.

After taking the seats, the banquet began quickly, with various spiritual wines and delicacies being presented. The monks present were full of food and drink, and they never stopped praising the Fang family.

Just when Gu Zhao was bored and thinking about doing something for someone, he suddenly caught a glimpse of dozens of uniformly dressed maids walking towards this direction.

The maids all held a tray covered with red cloth.

And walking in the middle was a middle-aged man dressed in Chinese clothing.

Although this man's cultivation level was not high at the beginning of the Foundation Establishment Stage, his status among the monks was ridiculously high.

Because he is the owner of this mansion - Fang Long.

As soon as he appeared, the monks around him stood up and greeted with a smile: "Master Fang, you are so kind!"

"I wish Mr. Fang will make rapid progress in his cultivation and be promoted!"

"..."

With the congratulations, Fang Long's face became increasingly red, and the smile on his face never stopped.

Gu Zhao followed the crowd and stood up, but quietly looked at Fang Long several times.

I was curious, could this be the second senior brother's father?

Upon closer inspection, except for the similar noses, there is really nothing else in common.

Lu Sheng's name was given by Shi Zijin later, so "Lu" was not his original surname.

After finishing the polite scene, Fang Long finally got to the point.

He looked like a dog and raised his hands to everyone present, and said loudly: "Fellow Taoists, I, Fang Long, never ask for anything in return when doing things for my fellow Taoists. I only hope that the cultivation environment of our Luoyan City will get better and better. In the future, more people will go out, even ascend to the upper world, and achieve greatness!"

What he said was beautiful, and many people cheered!

Seeing that the atmosphere was stirring, he signaled the maids behind him to spread out and stand still in front of everyone.

"It just so happens that Fang has gained some insights in his recent cultivation. He would like to invite the destined people to hold candlelight talks at night and jointly study the path of cultivating immortals. I hope you will agree."

After he finished speaking, Gu Zhao deliberately observed everyone's expressions and saw that everyone looked like they were used to it. It was obvious that this kind of thing had happened more than once.

Her and Tao Nansi's eyes collided in the air, and they separated as soon as they touched each other. They both understood each other's plans.

It’s better to catch the tiger’s cub than in the tiger’s den. Tonight is the key to success or not!

Soon, a maid came to Gu Zhao holding a tray. Gu Zhao had a look of embarrassment and joy on his face, and he acted the role of a local monk he had never seen in the market.

A trace of disdain flashed in the maid's eyes, and she said as usual: "Guest, it's your turn to draw lots. If you draw a red lot, you will be destined."

Gu Zhao didn't seem to see the disdain in the maid's eyes. He rubbed his hands excitedly and then put his hand under the red cloth.

Then, she clearly noticed a subtle movement on the tray, and a wooden pick landed just under her palm. A smile appeared on her face, and she took out the pick without hesitation.

I picked it up and saw that it was indeed a red sign.

"It's a red sign! Great! I have long admired Mr. Fang, and now I have the opportunity to discuss Taoism with him. I'm so excited!"

Gu Zhao's face looked ecstatic, and he looked like an idol-worshipping young man.

The maid's disdain deepened, and she thought to herself that she really had never seen a country bumpkin in the market, and it would be enough to cheat him a little later, so there was no need to put too much thought into it.

After a round of drawing, ten people, including Gu Zhao and Tao Nansi, finally got the red lottery. Gu Zhao observed carefully and found that the black energy between these people's eyebrows almost overflowed, and they were indeed "mature".

The residents in the city have been subtly affected by the evil cultivation formation for a long time, so they themselves cannot notice the black energy between their eyebrows, and will eventually become silent food.

After the drawing of lots was over, the banquet was almost over.

The faces of the monks who had drawn the red lot showed joy, because based on past experience, if they stayed in the Fang Mansion corridor, their strength would be greatly improved after leaving. It was really a piece of cake in the sky!

Those who didn't win looked envious and jealous, but there was nothing they could do. They didn't dare to cause trouble in Fang Mansion and could only wait until next month to try their luck.

In the evening, Fang Mansion became completely quiet.

Gu Zhao and Tao Nansi, the remaining monks who had won the red lottery, were uniformly arranged in the east courtyard.

Before leaving, the maid asked them not to wander around, and Master Fang would come over later.

Naturally, everyone nodded in agreement, and Fang Long praised him again.

Looking at the obedient people, the maid left with satisfaction.

After the maid left, Gu Zhao and Tao Nansi checked the courtyard and found no formations.

The two looked at each other and pretended to be tired in a tacit understanding and went back to their rooms.

In fact, after the two returned to the room, they walked out quietly without disturbing anyone.
