The exterior wall of the whole apartment building is dark red wall tiles and gray stone, which looks very refreshing and clean, and there are pale yellow window sills on the window sill of each floor on the street side of the apartment building, and there are pots of flowers and plants planted in the guardrail on the side of the window sill. The main entrance of the apartment building is facing Monet Street, and more than ten steps down from the main entrance are the sidewalks, and on both sides of the steps, that is, the street facing part of the first floor of the apartment building, there are two flower beds, in which a few walnuts, red maples and a bunch of moon flowers are planted.
The black wrought iron door outside the apartment is very sturdy and elegant, and the brass doorknob on the door is spotless, in short, all the qiē in this apartment building conforms to the residential image of a well-educated and well-paid propertied person in Heiyan City - clean, refreshing, decent, and the surrounding environment is neither dirty and messy, nor splendid. In Zhang Tie's impression, the traders who ran orders on the commodity exchanges in Heiyan City, the doctors who circumcised themselves, the teachers in the school like Jerome or Captain Colin, or the decent businessmen who did small business in Heiyan City, and the notary he met today, should have lived in such an apartment building.
There are many such apartment buildings, large and small, high and low in Black Flame City, and they are the favorite of charter tenants, and that bastard of Sista once imagined that he would one day be able to earn money to buy such a building, and then he could live a life of collecting rent every month, and then taking the rent to find a woman in Black Flame City at will every day.
Seeing Zhang Tie's stunned appearance, Tang De said again, "Why, just a small apartment building scared you stupid?" ”
Zhang Tie looked at Tang De in disbelief, "You can't be joking, are you, or have you been stimulated by something." As soon as I saw you today, I felt that something was wrong with you, and I will see if you have a burn......"
Zhang Tie, who was talking, stretched out his hand and touched Tang De's forehead, but Tang De opened his hand with a "snap", Tang De glanced at him fiercely, "Bastard, I just said that you are a bun and have never seen the world, this apartment building was bought a few thousand gold coins a few years ago, and now it is cheaper, some people have a meal and it is gone, what is this money." Do you really think it's a big deal? ”
Tang De walked up the steps of the apartment building as he spoke, took out the key and inserted it into the door lock, turned around twice, and opened the door, "Come in quickly." I still have something to explain to you! ”
Zhang Tie scratched his head and followed Tang De in. Behind the door. It was a thick and soft door mat, the apartment building was covered with brown wooden floors, the floor was shiny and spotless, Zhang Tie, who walked into the apartment building, looked up, and the highest top of the apartment building seemed to be a beautiful triangular glass roof. With plenty of light streaming in from above, there is a spiral staircase leading directly to the top floor, starting from the second floor, and there appear to be two families on each floor. The doors of the two houses face each other on the staircase.
Tang De did not go upstairs, but walked past several pots of tall green plants on the left side of the stairs, and then took out the key to open a door and came to a house.
As soon as Zhang Tie came in, Tang De locked the door with his backhand.
This is a house on the first floor of the apartment building, the furniture in the room is sand and all kinds of furnishings are readily available, all the furniture, all the furniture is full of a fresh wood fragrance, it smells very good, Zhang Tie didn't have time to look, Tang De took him through a passage in the room, came to a quiet study, I don't know what Tang De moved, a bookcase in the study was gently pulled by him, and it slid open from the side, a door was revealed behind the bookcase, open the door again, Zhang Tie saw that there were stone steps all the way down, This leads to the basement of the ground floor room.
Next to the stone staircase and on the walls around the basement, there are expensive 10,000-year-old fluorite lamps, and the light of the fluorite lamps renders the entire basement a pale green.
"When you come in, remember to close the door in the basement, when the door is closed, the bookcase outside will automatically slide back to its original position, and all the safety will be closed, even if it is broken by violence, it will take a long time......," Tang De, who was walking in front, turned his head and said to Zhang Tie.
"Bump!" After closing the door, Zhang Tiecai realized that the door of the basement actually made a heavy and dull sound like a safe, and the thick door was actually made of steel, but it was painted with a layer of wood paint.
The basement is very large, there are more than 100 square meters, it is arranged like a temporary shelter, there are tables, chairs, and a few large and small lockers and some other things, what Zhang Tie didn't expect the most is that there are no less than four wardrobes of all sizes here, and a huge mirror.
Tang De walked to a chair, and then motioned for Zhang Tie to sit on another chair.
At this moment, Zhang Tie's heart was completely filled with curiosity, and everything the grocery store owner who was originally greedy for money did today was full of mystery.
"I know you must have a lot of questions in your mind, now can I ask?" Tang De looked at Zhang Tie and said.
Zhang Tie scratched his head depressedly, "What are you doing today, why do you think you're a little weird?" ”
"Because I'm about to leave Black Flame City, I have to settle things here!"
"You're leaving?" Zhang Tie looked at Tang De in shock, "Why?" ”
"Because of you!" Tang De looked at Zhang Tie, and a smile appeared on his face, "Originally, I didn't know when I would be able to leave Black Flame City, but because of you, I can leave soon, you know, I haven't been home for more than thirty years, originally I thought that I might have the opportunity to go home when I was in my last years, but because of you, I can go home decades earlier, so, thank you!" ”
"Because of me?" Zhang Tie was even more surprised.
"Can you please stop staring at your eyes and pointing at your nose, you look so dirty!" Tang De smiled, "Do you remember the book "Zhu Xin Shen Shu" that you handed me over? Do you know how much he's really worth? ”
"This, that book can improve and exercise mental power, it should be very precious!"
"It's not as simple as preciousness!" Tang De shook his head, "Do you remember the story of the ugly stone I told you before, that book "Bead Heart Calculation" is that ugly stone." ”
The story of the ugly stone Zhang Tie still remembers, that is one of the many stories that Tang De once told Zhang Tie, there is an ugly stone, in the mountain village, by a stonemason, because the stone is very hard, the stonemason used that stone to make a stone anvil, now it is very useful, has been used for decades, once a more clever blacksmith came to the mountain village, also appeared the stone, felt that the stone may be some kind of iron ore, so he cut a small piece, took it back, made it into a horseshoe, sold dozens of copper plates, the blacksmith was very happy.
After the blacksmith left, another more clever swordsmith showed up the fast stone, and the swordsmith thought that the stone might be meteoric iron, so the swordsmith cut another piece from the stone, and after going back, he tried to make a sharp knife from the material on the stone, and the knife was sold for hundreds of gold coins, and then, a high-level watchmaker showed the meteorite and cut a piece back, and the clocksmith used the metal in the meteorite to create several pocket watches of the meteorite series, and those pocket watches were eventually sold for thousands of gold coins.
After the watchmaker, there was another carving master who showed the stone, so the carving master moved the stone, after some carving, the stone was worth tens of thousands of gold coins, and finally the value of the stone was an emperor, the emperor re-smelted the stone, and then used the metal smelted on the stone to make the national seal of the empire, worth hundreds of millions of ......
The truth of this story is that different things, in the hands of different people, have different values.
Zhang Tie understood, but at the same time he was confused.
"Just as the human body exercises muscles, mental strength training is mainly carried out through guò visualization, and the things that mental power needs to be visualized are all secret transmissions in secret traditions. And all visualization is a painstaking, rigorous, requires extremely high mental stability and continuity of a profound consciousness activity, which has very high requirements for people's will and mind, before this, I have never seen anyone who can carry out mental power training before the age of twelve, and I have never heard of a cultivation method that can allow children and teenagers to improve their mental power, "Zhu Xin Shen Arithmetic" seems simple, but it can make a person's age of spiritual power cultivation from twelve years old to six years old, or even start at the age of fiveAlthough the effect of "Zhu Xin Shen Arithmetic" is a little weaker, but the visualization and improvement of spiritual power through guò "Zhu Xin Shen Arithmetic" can even lay a solid foundation for more advanced spiritual power cultivation in the future, this is the true value of "Zhu Xin Shen Arithmetic", this is a method that can be used to improve mental power when people are still children, and it is also an enlightenment textbook for spiritual power cultivation, Do you know what it's worth? ”
"This ...... It seems that it is really a bit of a small use to let a few people cultivate their spiritual power from an early age! Zhang Tie smirked.
"A little useful?" Tang De's eyes widened, his voice raised an octave, and he suddenly became angry, as if he had been insulted, he couldn't care about his image anymore, jumped up from the chair, and slammed Zhang Tie's head with a violent shudder.
"Bastard, are you a pig's head, of course it is useless for an idiot like you to learn, but have you ever thought that if there are 10 million, 100 million, 1 billion, or even billions of people in the Chinese family who can learn this method, how effective will it be, how much can it make it easier for many people who could no longer improve their mental power to exercise and improve their spiritual power, it is easier to advance and break the bottleneck of cultivation, how many Chinese teenagers can lay a good foundation for spiritual power cultivation since childhood, How much will this foundation help them in the future, because of this, how many more geniuses and strong people will the Chinese have in the future, you idiot! Tang De knocked on Zhang Tie again, and then he gasped and sat down with some indignation.
