After leaving without vain, He Qingyue took care of herself and packed up the big point, took me out of the main hall, but locked the main hall again, bowed respectfully to the locked door, and then turned back to me and smiled: "The master is very tolerant of you! I can only enter the main hall once a month." ”

I smiled and said, "What did he just say?"

He Qingyue said: "This hall is the retreat place of my six rooms and the immortal venerables of the past dynasties, millions of years of accumulation, it has left a lot of marks, there are immortals, meditating here, it is often easy to get the immortal imprints of the predecessors." It's a pity that I have no talent and have not received anything so far. ”

I nodded, but I didn't think so, unless there was a ghost, how could I get the immortal inheritance by meditation.

I heard him say again: "I'll go buy some food after the morning class, and let's eat something good at noon." If you're fine, it's okay to cultivate, or to go to the market. In the afternoon, let's go to the long room to record a number for you, the rules of Lingyun Gate, new disciples must carry incense gifts. ”

I smiled and said, "I'd better go to the market, after all, when I get to a new place, I have to step on it, don't I?"

He Qingyue smiled, nodded yes, and turned around to go to the backyard for morning class.

I stood in front of the main hall for a while, straightened my robes, and then went out of the courtyard gate and went to the market.

The pattern of Lingyun is similar to that of fairyland.

Less than three hundred steps to the west of the courtyard gate, there was a small pond, and by the pond was a grove that was neither big nor small, but just obscured the view ahead.

Bypassing the woods, you will see a street formed by a small two-story building with blue bricks and blue tiles running north and south. When you enter the alley, you can see dozens of shops lined up along the street, and there are some small vendors in the vacant places.

Walking into the alley, several people dressed in rural clothes bowed to me and said, "Good morning, Immortal Master." ”

I smiled and nodded and said, "Morning, morning, good morning to you too, good morning everyone." ”

A few men dressed in silk and satin walked past me, but they didn't greet me, but looked at me strangely.

I didn't care, smiled at them and said, "Good morning, too." ”

A bearded man stood on his feet and said with a smile: "The little Taoist priest of the sixth room? You are new here, and you look so tight!"

I asked curiously, "Yes, but how does the layman know that I am from the sixth room?"

The big man didn't speak, just smiled and pointed to my chest.

I looked down and saw a circle drawn on the chest of my robe, with a word "Lu" written on it.

Hehe smiled, I thought to myself that this Lingyun Gate is really interesting, not only the interior is for the six rooms, but also the six rooms are distinguished from the appearance, is this the so-called team spirit in the "internal solidity, externalization in the form"?

immediately made a mockery to Dahan and said with a smile: "The first time I wore it, I am not used to this shirt with the words printed on the chest." ”

The big man smiled and said, "Well, I'll get used to it slowly in the future." Say goodbye. ”

Saying that, he hugged his fist and walked straight away.

I looked at him a little strangely and thought to myself that this man was very interesting.

But I saw a young man of one and a half sizes who had just followed the adults to greet me, standing by the pillar under the eaves, secretly looking at me.

I smiled and walked over to him and said, "Hello." ”

The young man was startled, but he hurriedly lowered his head, pulled the placket of his shirt with both hands, and said nothing.

I smiled, thinking to myself that the country boy, who had never seen the world, saw this Lingyunmen immortal, the bottom is like this. So he said more and more kindly: "I am from the sixth room behind the forest, where are you?"

The young man lowered his head and whispered, "Immortal Master, I know that you are the one who picks up the sixth room." I'm here to look for work, and I'm here to work, and I owe you rent, and I have to pay it back, a few days later. ”

I was stunned for a moment, and then I remembered what He Qingyue said, and rented out all the six-room dojos in vain. Immediately smiled and asked, "I didn't ask you for rent, I don't even know who you are." ”

The guy raised his head slightly and peeked at me, and then he said in a slur manner: "In the past, He Xian, He Xianshi and Pang Xian, Pang Xianshi came to the set, they were all here to collect and collect rent. ”

I saw that he was very restrained, so I smiled, took out a piece of silver dollar and handed it to him, and said, "That's it, I just arrived at Lingyunmen, and I don't know much about this place, if you have nothing to do, take me around, this is for you to lead the way." ”

The young man seemed to be taken aback, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, don't dare, don't dare, the immortal master called me and asked me to lead the way, I naturally obeyed the order, where did I dare to collect money." ”

Having said that, my eyes kept glancing up and down the silver dollar in my hand.

I laughed, and with a move, the silver dollar automatically floated into the blanket on the boy's shoulder.

Withdrawing my hand, I smiled and said, "Look, this silver dollar was run into your bag by yourself, not by you." Alright, I now order you to show me around this Lingyun. ”

The guy was stunned and nodded gratefully.

"The little one's name is Niu Wu, a native of Yunhui Village under Lingyun Mountain, and he is twenty years old this year. ”

Niu Wu introduced me as he walked.

Following Niu Wu and walking along the Lingyunji road, I saw that the shops on both sides of the street were only selling farm tools and seeds, and there were also a few selling cloth dyes, but there were very few. There are a few restaurants, and from the appearance and the open door, they are all shabby, and I think they mainly serve these countrymen.

"Immortal Master, most of the shops here are opened by people in the vicinity, that is, to make money for food and clothing. When the immortals want to go shopping, they all go to the waterfront town by the boundless sea, which is much more prosperous than here. ”

Niu Wu saw me casually glancing over the doors of several stores, and knew that I didn't have the desire to go to the store, so he explained.

After getting acquainted, Niu Wu not only talked more, but also spoke a lot more neatly. From his mouth, I knew the general situation of this Lingyun Mountain.

With Lingyun Mountain as the center, this radius is about a thousand miles, and it is the territory of Lingyun Gate.

To the east, there is a hilly boundary, which belongs to the territory of the mountain gate.

To the west, hundreds of miles away is the boundless sea, there is a waterside city by the sea, there is a waterfront pavilion in the city, and it is also a fairy gate, but it is much smaller than Lingyun Gate.

To the south, outside the sphere of influence of Lingyun Gate, there are two other immortal gates, and the specific situation Niu Wu is not very clear.

And Lingyun Gate is the northernmost immortal gate in the fairy world, because thousands of miles north from Lingyun Mountain is the bottom line mountain.

It is precisely because of this that Lingyunmen has always prided itself on being the mainstay of resistance to the Kingdom of God and the Beast Clan. And several beast tides were extinguished with Lingyun Gate as the main force and with the support of various immortal sects.

Because of this, Lingyun Gate, as one of the largest sects in the fairy world, is of course also very famous in the fairy world. Therefore, the major families of the Wonderland and the city-states of the Wonderland will choose to send some of their children to Lingyunmen to cultivate.

As I know, these disciples from the fairy realm are either relatives of the city lord, or children of the major families in the fairy realm or the fairy realm, so their pomp and circumstance are very large.

"For example, the one who didn't bow when I saw you just now is the housekeeper Baili Fang, the eldest son of the Baili Family in Longyuan City, Baili Jun, who is a disciple of Changfang, so his housekeeper has a very high status at the foot of Lingyun Mountain. ”

Niu Wu whispered.

"What about the six rooms?"

I asked with a smile.

Niu Wu was stunned for a moment, but then said with a smile: "Don't hide it from the immortal master, for mortals like the little ones, the immortal master is actually the same." However, the Immortal Master He and Immortal Master Pang in the sixth room, including Immortal Master Xu, are much warmer than the Immortal Masters in the other rooms. ”

I smiled, this Niu Wu can speak, the six rooms are weak, so he is naturally inferior, and he can only shake his majesty in front of these mortals, of course, it looks much more "warm" than the disciples who don't eat the fireworks in the rest of the rooms.

Immediately smiled and stopped talking.

The retinue of the children of these families all live in Linshui Town, where the conditions are much better than those of Lingyunji, and there is also a port, which belongs to the goods distribution center in the north of the fairy world.

Hearing this, my heart moved, if this is the case, then wouldn't I be able to connect with Qingfeng City? You must know that in the Three Realms where communication is not developed, you have to find an acquaintance to send a letter. And with the port......

"The immortal master wants to send a letter?"

Niu Wu asked strangely.

"What's the matter?

I asked.

Niu Wu said: "There is a postal channel in the Lingyun Gate long room, and it is very convenient to send a letter to the fairyland." Our village chief sometimes sends letters to Wonderland, all of which are to buy the mail channel of Lingyun Gate. ”

"Oh?"

I'm a little strange, I don't know what this post is. asked Niu Wu, but he didn't know very well. Fortunately, He Qingyue said that she was going to the long room in the afternoon, so go back and ask him. I thought to myself.

When we parted, Niu Wu took out the silver dollar I gave him and handed it to me.

I smiled and said, "If you give it to you, it's for you, where is the reason to get it back?"

Niu Wu blushed and said, "I want Xu Xianshi to use this money to my family's land rental money this year." ”

"Oh?"

I was a little surprised, after all, after walking around this circle, I was very clear about the price level under Lingyun Mountain. A night of rice noodles only costs five copper coins, a horse of homespun cloth is only twenty copper coins, this piece of silver dollars, you can eat 200 bowls of rice noodles, buy 50 pieces of cloth.

At the moment, he asked, "How much land do you rent for six rooms, and how much is the annual rent?"

Niu Wudao: "Fortunately, the immortal masters of the six gates are merciful, and my family of ten people rented ten acres of land on the side of the mountain to grow some food." Every year, there are 100 copper coins per acre, and 10 acres of land is exactly 1,000 copper coins, which can be exchanged for one silver dollar. ”

I was taken aback, as far as I learned in Chaoyang Temple, the productivity level of these three realms is extremely low, even if the land is as fertile as Chaoyang Temple, each mu of land can only produce about 150 catties of grain per season, and if it is harvested three times a year, it is 450 catties of grain. The rice of the Three Realms is cheap, and a pound of rice is just a copper coin, and the annual income of one acre of land is four hundred and fifty copper coins.

And the fields on the side of the mountain, which must be thin fields, will definitely not produce 150 catties of grain. Six houses and one acre of land charge 100 copper coins, that is almost more than 30% of the output.

Niu Wu saw me silently chanting, "Such a high rent", but explained with a smile: "Master Xu doesn't know, in this immortal world, there are only six rooms in Lingyun Mountain willing to rent land, I heard that other immortal sects only have serfs or contract laborers who sell themselves, and there are no tenants." ”

I was shocked when I heard it.

Needless to say, serfs are clear to me about what they mean, and there is not much difference between them and serfs.

I wanted to tell him that I helped him pay this tax, but thinking that I am a newcomer, it is better not to change the rules set by the innocent old man in a hurry.

Immediately said with some embarrassment: "This rent is indeed a bit high, then okay, this silver dollar will be paid by you." I don't have any change on me, so the next time I meet you, I'll treat you to dinner. ”

Niu Wu said with some excitement: "No, no, it is already a great honor for Master Xu to ask me to lead the way today." I just saw that the boss of Qingbetsu was secretly looking at me, and I thought that soon I would be able to get a job with him, so that I could also subsidize it. Thank you so much, Immortal Master. ”

I smiled, thinking that this is fine, and my sympathetic problem should not be too conspicuous, after all, this is the fairy world, and it is still far from my sunrise collar.

immediately said goodbye to Niu Wu with a smile, and watched him go towards Qing Beiju with a thousand thanks, and then walked back slowly.
