Chapter 133: A New Home
Along the way, Shen Qing secretly observed for a while, and found that most of the pedestrians in the past were mortal cultivators, and the Qi cultivation period cultivators were not none, but there were pitiful few, and the entire small street passed through, and only a few people were encountered.
Of course, Shen Qing would not think that there were very few Qi cultivators in Wan'an City, when he passed by the square before, whether they were setting up stalls in the square or loitering, the Qi cultivators accounted for more than seventy percent, and there were many foundation building monks who exuded a strong aura.
There were very few Qi cultivators in this small street, and it was estimated that if they didn't stay in the courtyard and couldn't cultivate, they would either gather in that square.
In Shen Qing's heart, for the safety of the accompanying women, it is nothing to have more low-level cultivators around the rented place, but it is best to have as few Qi cultivators as possible.
When you go out of the small street, you will see a large natural lake.
The weeping willows flutter in the wind on the lakeside, the lake water is turquoise, sparkling, in the middle of the lake, there is an island in the middle of the lake, the visual past is over, the island in the middle of the lake is about 100 acres in size, the trees on the island are dense, under the shade of the trees, the red bricks and blue tiles are faintly exposed, there seem to be houses and pavilions located in it.
Wang Jiu saw that Shen Qing had been looking at the island in the middle of the lake, and hurriedly introduced: "Immortal Master, that small island in the center of the lake is the auction hall and the Hall of Merit of the Heavenly Star Alliance, in our Wan'an City, that auction house will be open once a month, and with the auction token issued by the Heavenly Star Alliance, you can enter and participate in the auction." ”
Wang Jiu didn't say anything, Shen Qing could also know that the auction hall was the place where the rare and exotic objects used in the auction of Xiuzhen were auctioned, but what was the Hall of Merit? Shen Qing didn't know anymore, so he asked, "What does the Hall of Merit do?"
"That Hall of Merit is the place where the Heavenly Star Alliance issues tasks, and generally cultivators and immortal masters who go to Wan'an City will go to the Hall of Merit to receive the Outer Alliance's merit jade plaque. With the jade card, you can receive various tasks issued by the Heavenly Star Alliance, as long as you complete the task, the merit jade card will be recorded on the merit points. And merit points are of great use, and all the sub-alliances in the entire Lingzhou that have the Celestial Star Alliance stationed can exchange merit points for cultivation items. ”
The merit jade medal of the outer alliance, is it possible that there is also a merit jade medal of the inner alliance?
Shen Qing secretly thought in his heart, and decided that after settling down, he had to take the time to go to the Hall of Merit to take a look.
While speaking, I saw Wang Jiu pointing to a mansion and said, "Immortal Master, we have arrived, and there is the courtyard that Xiao said he wanted to rent out......
Shen Qing looked at the place pointed by Wang Jiu, and saw that it was a small courtyard with a single door, and there were two weeping willows planted at the door of the house, through the weeping willows, you could see a closed wooden door, from the appearance, the house was just white walls and green tiles, simple and refreshing, and it was also a single house, and the nearest house nearby was at least thirty steps away, which seemed very quiet and quiet.
When Shen Qing saw it, he was already very satisfied in his heart.
Wang Jiu observed his words and looks, and saw that Shen Qing did not have an unhappy look, and he was secretly happy in his heart, I am afraid that this matchmaking rental and sale matter will be completed.
When he arrived at the wooden door, Wang Jiu jumped out of the car first, walked over a few steps and knocked on the wooden door.
"Old man Chen, open the door quickly, there is a guest coming. ”
It didn't take long for the wooden door creaked open, revealing half of his body to an old man with gray hair and a gray cloth coat.
"It turned out to be Wang Jiu, what are you kid doing here?"
"Nonsense, will it come to you if it's okay? Why don't you hurry up and come out to greet the immortal master, the immortal master wants to rent this mansion......" Wang Jiuda said grinningly.
"Immortal Master?" The old man was stunned when he heard this, and then he saw the huge triangular rhino not far away, and Shen Qing sitting at the front of the frame.
When the immortal master arrived, the old man couldn't help but feel excited, and hurriedly opened the wooden door, came to the car in three steps and two steps, and bowed to the ground: "Little old man to meet the fairy master, please forgive little old man for the sin of negligence." ”
Shen Qing saw that the old man was respectful, and he felt a little fluttering, but he said lightly: "No need to be polite, let me ask you, is this house going to be rented?"
"Yes, this house was originally left by Xiao Lao'er's ancestors, and later after Xiao Lao'er's dog worshiped the Heavenly Star Alliance, there was another house in the south of the city, and the dog wanted to take Xiao Lao'er to the south of the city to stay, so Xiao Lao'er planned to rent out this house. ”
"Well, in that case, I am quite satisfied with this house, and I decided to rent it, how much is the spirit stone?
"Back to the immortal master, Xiao Lao'er is just guarding the house here at the moment, everything that should be moved has been moved, and there is nothing to clean up, as for the spirit stone...... I don't know if Wang Jiu has ever talked to the Immortal Master?"
"Wang Jiu once said that your house needs twenty-five spirit stones a month, but is that so?"
"Yes, yes, that's true. ”
"Okay, I'll rent this house for half a year......"
Shen Qing said, flipped his hand, and there was an extra spirit stone bag in his hand, and he casually threw the spirit stone bag towards the old man's head, and said, "This is a spirit stone rented for half a year, you can order it, and look at the number of spirit stones." ”
Spirit stone bag, as the name suggests, is a kind of special use for holding spirit stones, up to five hundred spirit stones, Shen Qing has prepared a lot for convenience, so as not to make a large number of spirit stones out so conspicuous every time he trades.
The old man hurriedly took the spirit stone, and said with a happy face: "This spirit stone doesn't need to be lit, the little old man can trust the immortal master......"
After collecting the rent, the old man didn't talk nonsense, took out a three-inch-long copper key from his arms, and handed it to Shen Qing with respectful hands, even if the lease of this house was completed, he followed the old man and left.
The old man left, Shen Qing took out five spirit stones and handed them to Wang Jiu, generally three spirit stones were enough to lead the way, but Shen Qing saw that Wang Jiu was exquisite, and he was also very satisfied, so he gave him two more, which was regarded as a reward.
Wang Jiuping got two more spirit stones, naturally he was overjoyed, not to mention, he introduced Shen Qing to rent a house here, and when the time came, there were still taps from the old cangtou, and there were no more, but five or six spirit stones were indispensable.
Shen Qing was generous, Wang Jiu was grateful, and before leaving, he also reminded Shen Qing of some precautions, according to Wang Jiu's words, although this Wan'an City prohibits fighting, it is divided into regions, for example, the east of this city, because it is a place where outsiders gather, plus the entrance of the Tianxing Alliance General Alliance close to the south of the city, it is relatively peaceful, once the fighting method, it will be punished by the Tianxing Alliance.
But the west of the city and the north of the city are different, these two areas belong to the Xiuzhen family in the city, the major sects in the Lingzhou realm are divided, and some high-level monks gather together, and the forces of all parties can be described as intricate, so that the ban on fighting issued by Wan'an City is basically not effectively implemented in these two areas.
Wang Jiu specially reminded Shen Qing that he was worried that Shen Qing, an outsider, would not know what was going on, and if he accidentally offended someone of any force, he would suffer a small loss and toss his life into it, it would be too unjust.
Regarding Wang Jiu's reminder, Shen Qing secretly remembered in his heart, since those two places were mixed, then he would not set foot in them.
After sending Wang Jiu away, Shen Qing beckoned the three girls who had been staying in the carriage and did not show up, and took the beast cart away.
The three girls went into the city all the way, for fear of causing trouble, and stayed honestly, but through the car window, they could still see the lively scenery outside.
The prosperity of Wan'an City is comparable to that of Qingyuan City, a remote place, so that the three girls are already itching and want to come out to breathe. As soon as you get out of the carriage, you will see a natural lake with water and sky, the sparkling water, the waterfowl swimming leisurely, and the egrets that sometimes hover in the air and sometimes swoop down to fish.
Shen Qing saw that the three daughters liked the scenery here, and they were not in a hurry to urge, so they stopped and lingered for a while, and after the three girls reluctantly retracted their minds, Shen Qing led the three daughters into the house with him.
This house is not big, there are only two houses in front and back, the front is a small courtyard, planted with some flowers and plants, there is an old tree with a crooked neck in the middle of the yard; through the middle hall of the guest house, it is the back house, the back house is divided into two sides of the house, the left side is the kitchen, the bathroom, the right side is two bedrooms, a side hall, a study.
The layout here is simple, there are not many houses, and the furniture looks relatively old and simple, but it is better to be refreshed quickly, and there is a miniature spiritual vein under this house, and the spiritual energy is a little more abundant than the spiritual energy in the ancient well in the old mansion of the Shen family.
For Shen Qing, a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi cultivation, the aura here is definitely not enough to be used for his own cultivation, but it is still good to nourish his heart and lungs. However, the aura here could not satisfy Shen Qing, but it was more than enough for the three female dependents who had not yet reached the qi cultivation period.
Shen Qing has a group of four people, but there are only two bedrooms in the back house, which is really not easy to distribute, in the meaning of Erniang, that is, Shen Qing lives in a bedroom, Xiaobi takes care of Shen Qing's living and sleeps in the same house, and she herself lives in the same room with Yun Niang.
For Erniang's suggestion, Shen Qing naturally couldn't agree, not that he didn't want Xiaobi to sleep, but that he himself had Qiankun Zhu with him, this secret could not be easily exposed, Xiaobi didn't care about it, but it was extremely inconvenient for him to enter and exit Qiankun Pearl.
Shen Qing took the initiative to ask to stay in the study on the grounds of cultivation, and the monks cultivated, and basically had no requirements for sleep, a futon was enough, it didn't matter if there was a bed or not, even if there was no bed, buy one.
Shen Qing played the guise of cultivation, and Erniang knew that cultivation was the most taboo to disturb, so she agreed.
So, the arrangement of this residence became that Erniang and Xiaobi lived in the same room, Yun Niang lived alone, and Shen Qing lived in the study.
Arranged a place to live, but also had to purchase some living necessities, as well as some necessary furniture, originally Shen Qing's Qiankun beads did have some furniture made of precious wood, but the wealth is not exposed, this place is only temporarily rented, so there is no need to take it out to show off.
Everyone got together for a little discussion, and then arranged the division of labor, the three beauties began to clean up their new homes, and Shen Qing went out to purchase some necessities for life.
After some tossing, it was already evening, and the family, far from home, sat together in the side hall of their new home, and finally enjoyed the first settled dinner.
