Chapter 24: The Uninvited Guest
Luo Chen had also been to these places when he was a child, so he was now familiar with the road. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
There is a two-story small building with no sign on it, only the golden moire emblem of Qixia Sect, and the pattern of a house is engraved next to the emblem. This is where Qixia City sells the houses in the city.
Next to this small building, on top of another small building, there is the emblem of Qixia Sect and the pattern of gold ingots. Needless to say, this is the money house used by the Qixia Sect to exchange gold ingots.
Luo Chen first walked into the small building where the gold ingots were exchanged, and went straight to the VIP area. Although he was dressed in cloth, he exuded the aura of a six-layer warrior, so no one came to stop him.
The VIP area was a small closed room, and Luo Chen walked into one of them at will. The wall of this room had a hole in the wall that was a square and covered with a thick black curtain. All transactions are carried out through this hole, in order to make a profit not be exposed.
"Is there anything I can help you with?" a soft, cold female voice came from behind the curtain.
"I need a gold card to store gold ingots!" Luo Chen said bluntly.
"My lord, you need to store at least 10,000 gold ingots to apply for a gold card. I wonder if the adults have enough gold ingots?" the female voice hesitated for a moment, then rang out again.
"Put all these gold ingots in it. Luo Chen said, waved his hand, and a large number of gold ingots appeared out of thin air, flying directly towards the black hole, and drilled through the gap in the curtain.
Most of these gold ingots were left to him by Senior Brother Luo Gang. These gold ingots occupy too much space in the golden conch, so Luo Chen is also ready to deposit them in the gold card issued by Qi Xia Sect, which is also more convenient to use.
After all the gold ingots flew in, there was silence for a moment, and the soft female voice sounded again, but this time the voice had some temperature: "Sir, a total of 200,000 gold ingots, right?"
"Yes. Luo Chen responded.
"This is your gold card, please keep it. A small, white and tender hand stretched out from behind the curtain, two delicate jade fingers twisting a golden card.
This kind of golden card is the gold ingot card that is common in the sphere of influence of Qixia Sect, and the gold ingot can be taken out in every city, and you can also use the card directly to shop, which is extremely convenient.
"Thank you. Luo Chen nodded, took the golden card, and put it into the golden snail space.
"The voice doesn't sound loud, but there are so many gold ingots, where did this young man come from?" the little hand retracted, but there was a low voice of doubt inside......
Luo Chen walked out of the money village and walked straight into the small building next to the house for sale.
"My lord, the houses on these signs are for sale, I don't know which one you want?" said an old man with a white beard behind the counter.
Although Luo Chen was dressed in cloth, as a strong man of the sixth layer of martial arts, he was naturally respected enough here.
No one doubted that he had the strength to buy a house, just kidding, how could a strong man with the sixth floor of a martial artist be a poor person?
Luo Chen looked at the signs on the counter. Patterns of mansions are drawn on it, and the location and price of the mansions are marked.
"No. 253 Chaoxia Street, price: 100,000 gold ingots. No. 18 Chaoxia Street, the price is 250,000 gold ingots. No. 37 Jinguang Road, price, 90,000 gold ingots,......."
Luo Chen's eyes were calm, looking at the price on the brand.
Qixia City is worthy of being a place where every inch of land is valuable, and there is no mansion here that is less than 10,000 gold ingots. In the Wolong Mountains, ordinary people spend less than ten gold ingots a year.
Luo Chen watched slowly, the old man was extremely patient, and he didn't urge.
After reading all the signs, Luo Chen sighed in disappointment.
"My lord, is there a house in here?" asked the old man kindly.
Luo Chen shook his head, looked at the old man and said, "Wentian Road 301...... Are there any people living in it now?"
"Wentian Road 301...... Do you want to buy this house?" the old man said with a flash of his eyes.
"Hmm!" Luo Chen nodded.
"This house...... It's been eight years since it was empty!" the old man pulled out a sign from the bottom of the counter, "After a period of time when it began to be sold, the buyer would rather lower the price than return it." This happened several times in a row, and then it was not put up for sale!But this house, I advise you not to buy it, because it ......."
"I want this house. Luo Chen grabbed the sign from the old man's hand.
"Alas, alas...... Although you are strong enough, an adult, but ...... Forget it, if you really want it, I can't help it. The price is 50,000 gold ingots. The old man shook his head.
Luo Chen smiled indifferently and took out the golden card.
The old man took the card, deducted 50,000 gold ingots from it, and handed it back to Luo Chen, then called a waiter and instructed: "You take this lord to Wentian Road 301 to complete the handover of the house." ”
"Yes. The waiter bowed, then turned to Luo Chen, "My lord, please follow me." ”
Luo Chen nodded slightly, and followed the waiter out of the small building.
......
Ask Tianlu 301.
Outside the mansion, it is almost surrounded by weeds. The vermilion lacquer gate is already mottled, and the steps are covered with moss.
The waiter took out the key, and it took a long time to open the rusty lock, and after pushing the door open, he said to Luo Chen courteously: "My lord, please come in and see." This mansion ......"
"No need to introduce, you can go!" Luo Chen casually took out two gold ingots and threw them to the waiter, and said lightly.
"Yes, sir. The waiter accepted the gold ingots and hurriedly left.
Luo Chen walked into the house, looking at the familiar scenes around him, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart.
It's been eight years, and he's finally back here!
This house was originally where he lived with his parents and Senior Brother Luo Gang. From the time he was born to the time he left Qixia City, he spent six years here.
301 Wentian Road is a mansion with a radius of no more than a few acres. Opposite the mansion is the majestic Qixia Peak.
The architecture of the mansion is simple, a two-story pavilion, a small garden, a few tall trees in the courtyard, and a wisteria. It had just snowed a few days ago, and the remnants of snow on the wisteria trellis had not yet completely melted.
Due to the long-term absence of an owner, the mansion is overgrown with decaying grass and cobwebs, exuding a smell of corruption.
After Luo Chen entered the mansion, he immediately began to tidy up the mansion. He pulled out the weeds in the courtyard, swept away the dense cobwebs, leveled and compacted the ground in the small courtyard, and opened the doors and windows of all the rooms, allowing the cold air to pour into the room. After his efforts, the old mansion has also become new.
"It's almost the same as back then, but now my parents have passed away, and Senior Brother Luo Gang has left......" Luo Chen sat on the swing of the year, muttering a little sadly.
Thinking of what Senior Brother Luo Gang said before leaving, Luo Chen drove away this trace of sadness again. Senior Brother Luo Gang's departure is to make himself fly better. And what I want to prove is that without the support of Senior Brother Luo Gang, I can also fly higher.
Looking at the towering Qixia Peak a few miles away, Luo Chen's eyes also saw the purple-clothed girl as indifferent as a clear lotus.
"Liu Yuxi, you are on that mountain! I have already come to Qixia City, I don't know when I will be able to meet you?"
......
After tidying up the house, Luo Chen immediately began to cultivate again. Although it is no longer possible to advance before the test, he is not willing to relax his requirements. After all, joining Qixia Iron Guard is only the first step. If he wants to be qualified to protect Liu Yuxi, he needs more powerful forces.
Luo Chen practiced the Heavenly Tiger Fire Fist for a while, then sat cross-legged on the steps again, closed his eyes and remembered. After contemplating it for a while, I got up and practiced boxing in the courtyard again.
This is Luo Chen's current cultivation method, through practicing boxing and visualization to improve his understanding of heaven and earth. When the perception accumulates to a certain level, you can advance after the epiphany.
It wasn't until after midnight that Luo Chen returned to the room where he lived and fell asleep deeply. After sleeping for two hours, he got up again and began the process of cultivating for a day.
......
Under Qixia Peak, outside the guard camp of Qixia Iron Guard, the Blood Tavern.
It's only morning, and there are already quite a few customers in the tavern. Dozens of rugged Qixia Iron Guards sat scattered all over the tavern, drinking spirits in groups of three or five, and chatting happily. The beautiful waiter with a good figure came and went with a tray, and he didn't care about the rude behavior of the drinkers stuffing the gold ingots into their underwear.
"Hey, do you know?" At the table by the window, a short man seemed to have thought of something, and said in a low voice mysteriously, "There are people living in that place again!"
"Where is it?" said another emaciated man, lazily, and slapped the buttocks of the passing waitress hard, and the waitress ran away with a smile.
"I passed by there last night and found that there was a light inside!" The short man laughed, "I didn't think there was a master who was not afraid of death!"
"Really?" the emaciated man was shocked, "So, have fun watching it now?"
"Of course!" said the stout man with a smile, "a large group of gentlemen will definitely not give up!"
A tall young man who had not spoken all this time spoke: "But hasn't the first brigade already changed guards to the border?
"Although the first group is no longer in Qixia City, but-" The stout man pouted towards the other side of the tavern, "Don't you think these men don't exist?"
On the other side, five slightly older men were raising their glasses.
The conversation between the three of them could have been heard throughout the tavern. When they began to speak, they became the focus of the entire tavern.
Hearing this, the strong men glanced at each other, and at the same time raised their heads and drank the spirits in their glasses, slammed the glasses on the table, and strode out.
"These retired old guys are really old and spicy! Let's go, let's see!" The three of them also drank their wine and followed out quickly.
"None of the old guys living in the old guard house are easy to mess with. Let's go, let's see the excitement!" the guards in the tavern laughed and put down their glasses, and they all followed.
......
"Today is the seventh day of the lunar month, and tomorrow is the day of the test! I don't know if she will be on the scene tomorrow ......" Luo Chen sat cross-legged on the steps, but his heart was a little difficult to calm down, and he couldn't enter the state of visualization at all.
Suddenly-
"Peng!" There was a loud bang, and the two doors were blasted open and slapped towards Luo Chen!
Luo Chen's face was slightly cold, and he casually slapped the flying door panel open, and also stood up.
Outside the gate, five tall men in the prime of life strode in.
Seeing these five people, Luo Chen's pupils also shrank suddenly!
These five people are all strong men of the fifth layer of martial arts!! and their bodies also exude a strong killing aura!!
After the five of them entered the compound, they directly spread out into a semicircle, surrounding Luo Chen directly in the center. Obviously, these five people are not good!
"Who are you, why are you here?" a man with a scar on his face squinted at Luo Chen and shouted in a low voice.
"This sentence, it should be me asking you! I have already bought this house!" Luo Chen looked at the man and said in an unkind tone, "What do you mean by breaking into my mansion and destroying my gate?"
"You can't live here, no one can live here. The man's tone was extremely stiff, "I don't care who you are, now, please get out of here!"
"Haha!" Luo Chen laughed angrily, "I bought the house, I can't live here!Who do you think you are?"
"If you don't want to leave, then I'll beat you until you leave!" The man snorted, "Eat me with a punch!" As he spoke, he pounced on Luo Chen first, and smashed Luo Chen head-on with a punch. The other four were silent, but they slowly approached Luo Chen.
"Look for death!" Luo Chen snorted coldly, and blasted towards the man with a fist. The man sneered, his wrist shook slightly, and he had already avoided Luo Chen's fist, turning his fist into a palm and slapping it heavily on Luo Chen's wrist.
"Hmph!" Luo Chen's wrist hurt sharply, and he snorted, and his heart was also shocked. The man in front of him is only the strength of the fifth layer of a martial artist, but as soon as he fights, he actually suffers a loss!
"You belong to the Old Guard!" Luo Chen shouted. He also immediately understood the origin of these people, these people are over forty years old, and it is impossible for them to be the active Qixia Iron Guard. And the only one who can have such a powerful combat ability beyond the level can only be the old guy of the old guard house!
"Boy, the trick is very bright!" the man sighed and laughed, "Yes, we are from the Old Guardhouse." Acquaintances get out of here quickly, lest we do anything. ”
At this time, one by one sturdy men walked into the small courtyard, and everyone exuded a killing aura. However, the later men stood on the periphery with their arms crossed one by one, posing as if they were watching a play.
