Chapter 389: Whoever Doesn't Disturb the Immortals (Part I)
There is an ancient rule in the world of cultivating immortals, which is called that no one disturbs the immortals, and no immortals deceive the immortals!
However, just like the rivers and lakes of a certain world, they think that benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith are the foundation of being a person and doing things! However, once the power is unrestrained, or a new force is about to rise, those so-called rules will fade!
However, in Xihai City, the rules of not disturbing immortals and not bullying immortals are still well observed. Because, in order to maintain the prosperity of Xihai City, the five major forces even sent two deacons from each family to form a 'council' in the mortal area of Dongcheng, and the existence of the council was to ensure that the mortals in Xihai City could not be bullied by the immortals. Of course, the affairs between immortals are another matter, and they naturally don't care about the affairs between mortals!
Therefore, recently, there has been a nest of porridge among the immortals in Xihai City, but the Dongcheng where the mortals are located is still happy. Because, the 'Chengxian Mansion' composed of the three major families of mortals in Xihai City was even earlier than the Council, and their management of mortals had lasted for thousands of years, and they had already had a mature management system!
Therefore, the mortals in Xihai City are happy, especially the old residents here, who are not afraid of immortals at all. Of course, they don't have to be afraid at all, they just need to report anything to the Chengxian Mansion! They know that the Chengxian Mansion has always treated the matter of immortals bullying mortals as the first priority! Therefore, when encountering this kind of case, although there are all kinds of disharmony within the three major families that maintain the Chengxian Mansion, their voices are surprisingly unanimous about this kind of thing. They will report the matter to the Council as soon as possible, and the Council is composed of the five forces that hinder each other, so when encountering this kind of case, they will definitely not be partial, unless the five major forces discuss to oppress mortals together, otherwise, they must deal with this kind of thing quickly and fairly!
But recently, there has been a vicious case in the mortal community of Dongcheng! This case can't even be controlled by the Council!
Ten days ago, in a small and medium-sized courtyard that can accommodate about 20 people in Olive Lane, two delicate and glamorous little girls were inhabited! The older ones were about eighteen or nineteen years old, and they were dressed a little plainly, but they looked beautiful and dignified. Because there is a clear difference between the people and the fishy girls in Xihai City! The younger ones are fifteen or sixteen years old, and they are delicate and beautiful, and they are also different from the children of the local families.
What made the neighbors strange was that there used to be eight or nine immortals living in such a large courtyard, of course, not to mention the immortals! But now only the two little girls live in such a large courtyard. Listen to the guys in the tooth shop in Olive Lane privately say that they have paid a year's rent in full at one time, and there are only two people who sign up to move in!
Rich people are different, it seems that they have a spectrum more than immortals!
However, the strangest thing is that the two little girls only walked back and forth a few times with the men of the tooth shop in the morning of the same day, when the alley was at its busiest, and after moving in, they bolted the door from the inside, and never came out again.
The owners of real estate in Xihai City can live nourishing for a lifetime with rent alone, but those long-term tenants still have to go out to work. So, in recent days, the surrounding neighbors have been working from early in the morning to finishing work in the evening, and the conversation has become more and more focused on the door of this compound!
"What's the matter, Old Five, I haven't seen anyone come out yet?"
"How do I know, I haven't noticed!"
"Hehe, come on, since that day when people started renting a house, you kid has been staring at people's doors, from morning to night!
"Hehe, Uncle Li, it's okay to be quiet, I'm just curious! You say, the two little girls don't go out, and it stands to reason that it's the past, but they are new residents, you always have to buy some furniture, and if you don't, you have to buy vegetables and cook! But, look, it's been seven days, and I haven't seen them again anyway!"
"Besides, I said you better go back! I don't think you can afford to eat these two dishes!"
"Uncle Li, you... What are you talking about! I don't understand!"
******
"His aunt, buy groceries... Oh, why do you eat fish every day, don't you feel sick to your stomach! You haven't been paid?"
"Alas, don't mention it! He didn't make a single immortal business this month, although there is a big order, but people don't use gems (note, in Xihai City, Yuan Shi is universal, mortals generally call Yuan Shi gems!, lower grade Yuan stones are collectively referred to as gems, middle grade Yuan stones are called high-grade gems, and high-grade Yuan Shi mortals generally can't see them!), you know, without a list of gems, there are not so many maids!), you know, there are not so many maids without a list of gems!), you know, there are not so many maids!"
"Hmph, don't cry here to be poor, didn't the immortal residents of this courtyard last time make it from your family, I heard that the young immortal also rewarded you with ten high-grade gems!
"Hey, the reward is the reward, can't you save it to buy a house, my family has lived in Xihai City for three generations, and I haven't scraped together enough money to buy a house!"
"Oh my God, it seems that you have really saved money, and you are actually thinking about buying a yard? It seems that I have to go home and give my nagging well! However, you have lived for three generations and have not bought it, so we guess we will have to think about it in the long run!"
"But it's not, there's no comparison! Look at people's houses, just two little girls, such a big yard can be rented for a year at once, and the rent is still paid at once. Look at us again, it's not half the size of this courtyard, but there are about 20 people living in four big families!"
"Hey, his aunt, you say... Those two girls haven't been out yet?"
"I don't seem to have seen it! But also, two delicate girls' homes, it's not easy to go out of the house!"
"Cut, we all seem to be bad guys here!"
"Hey, you don't know, who else is the leper five and Zhang Hanzi... Walk around the yard every day!"
"Yes, I've seen it a long time ago, it's a lazy toad who wants to eat swan meat, I really have to inform Chengxian Yuan to teach these people a lesson!"
"Actually... You don't know... I'm in charge of the house... Don't tell anyone... Those two little girls also seem to be a little wrong, and they are coming from a very wrong way. I heard that the current immortals have all learned badly, and there are many immortals who have abducted some little fox spirits from other places and hid them in our Xihai City! You know, our Xihai City does not belong to any country, so except for our five great immortal families, no one else here dares to take care of it at all. So, all cats and dogs are hiding here!"
"Tsk, I didn't run away when I heard you say this, it must be a little fox raised by an immortal family, no wonder they don't go out, maybe at night, the immortal will fly over, and then give them food and drink, and then be happy!
"Shhhh It's not good for you to be quiet, so that the immortals can hear it!, but who knows, maybe people are also good citizens!"
"Hmph, good people, I think it's a fox!"
******
The door has been locked for seven days!
On this night, the moon was like silver, and the wind was like silk!
Just after the people in Olive Alley fell asleep, two dark shadows climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard!
Then everything was silent, and the occasional cricket cries became more and more quiet at night!
In the daytime, those who go to work still go to work on time, and those who are idle are still idle! It's just that the topic of gossip is more and more concentrated!
Day 9 Night!
The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the black magpie occasionally calls!
It was dark in Olive Alley, and suddenly two men in black turned over and entered the courtyard very neatly!
Then the night fell silent again, and the occasional dog barked but could not break through the boundless night!
It's daytime again, and the people who go to work are still in a hurry, but the idle idiots are obviously a little lonely, and the owners of those gossips occasionally dare to gather in front of the courtyard gate to point.
Day 10 Night!
The moonlight is bright and clean, and the breeze is like water!
There was a sudden silence in Olive Alley, the crickets stopped barking, and the dogs barked out!
On the back wall of the courtyard, five figures suddenly appeared, these figures, you take me, I take you, quietly, sneakily climbed over the wall one after another.
Soon everything was quiet again!
In the daytime, it seems that something unusual is beginning to be in the alley, and when Lao Li goes to work, he doesn't see Leper Five wandering outside! When Aunt Zhang and Seventh Sister-in-law went out to buy vegetables, they actually smelled a fishy smell and scolded a few words about who killed fish and didn't clean up the fish, so that the two of them were not in the mood to chat!
In the afternoon, there was a big man in Olive Alley!
Known as one of the three princes of Xihai City, the second son of the Feng family, who had never been to Olive Lane, gracefully brought a group of soldiers from the Chengxian Mansion to this courtyard.
The excitement seemed to have erupted suddenly, as soon as Feng Ergongzi appeared in front of the gate of the courtyard, before he could knock on the door, people suddenly poured out of nowhere!
As soon as his hand stretched out, he was about to knock on the door, but when he heard the movement behind him getting bigger and bigger, Feng Ergongzi shook his head, turned around and waved at the people who were watching the excitement behind him, and then smiled politely: "Neighbors, Chengxian Mansion is just doing tenant security inspections, it's all routine, what are you doing to make a scene! Go back, go back!"
However, people just happily took two steps back, but none of them went back!
"Hehe, Childe, you are a big man in Xihai City, and you suddenly came to this small place to work, how can you let the people have a glimpse, so you can drive people out... The villain thinks it's not right!"
A middle-aged scribe who looked like a Confucian beside Feng Ergongzi said angrily.
"Hey!" Feng Er Gongzi sighed thoughtfully, smiled and didn't speak, but had to turn around and knock on the door!
