Thousands of feet in the sky.

Shen Lang forcibly didn't look at the ground, and distracted himself without words:

"Lord Yan, after I go back, I want to buy a house first."

Yan Tianying was surprised:

"Buying a house? The price of Beijing is expensive, the housing price is extremely high, and many poor Beijing officials can only rent a house, do you have so much money? ”

Shen Lang said suddenly:

"When I killed the Spider Sisters, I saved many innocent people who were sacrificed by the Spider Sisters. Many of them were rich men who gave me more than 5,000 silver dollars as a thank you for saving my life.

"I know it's not in order, but someone said, save us, you just did it to the mage, but it was a life for us. Isn't one of our lives worth such a penny?

"There are also people who say solemnly: Those who hold salaries for everyone must not be frozen to death in the wind and snow. We must not allow a hero like the Mage to shed blood and tears...... Then I thought that they had a point, so I reluctantly accepted it.

"In addition, after destroying the Pirate Alliance, eradicating the Shark King Gang, and confiscating the various properties of the Shark King Gang, Lord Mu also sent me a lot of bounties according to the rules. In addition, the Muslim people made a windfall when they were sheltering from the storm at sea, and they picked up a lot of gold from the shipwreck at the bottom of the sea, and they also shared a part of me...... Therefore, there should be money to buy a house. ”

Yan Tianying frowned, and said several times, "Those who hold salaries for everyone must not be frozen to death in the wind and snow", and then his brows stretched and he smiled with relief:

"You only came to Jingshi yesterday to report, and you were only an undercover agent of Xiao Mu Development before, and you have not officially joined the company, so you are not the official arrest of the Divine Capture Hall. Since the rich man is grateful to you for saving your life, he gave you gold and silver, and he received it. ”

Xuan and his expression were solemn, and Zhengse said:

"But Xiao Shen, you have to be vigilant, some people with ulterior motives will deliberately design all kinds of situations to let you help and even save their lives, deliberately owe you favors, and then in the name of gratitude, give you gold and silver goods.

"At first, it was just a small gift in the realm of normal human relations, and it made you let your guard down. After that, I will gradually increase the size, today I will invite you to have a big meal, tomorrow I will send you some worthless 'native products', and then I will ask you to do something reasonable, not in violation of the rules, and then send you some calligraphy and painting antiques that are difficult to value......

In this way, I have been in contact with you again and again, and I have a relationship with you, I have a friendship, I relax your guard a little bit, paralyze your vigilance, and let you fall deeper and deeper step by step. By the time you come back to your senses, you've been pulled into the water and held the handle.

"Similar incidents have happened more than once since I took charge of the Divine Capture Hall.

"Even the senior head catchers of the Divine Hunting Hall have been unfavorable, and they have been slowly corroded by people with ulterior motives...... So Xiao Shen, after you officially join the company, there can be no more such things, and you must take precautions and prevent them from burning. ”

Shen Lang is awe-inspiring:

"What adults teach is that subordinates are taught!"

Yan Tianying nodded, and said:

"More than 5,000 silver dollars, but it's enough to buy a very good courtyard. Where do you want to buy a house? ”

Shen Lang thought for a while and asked in a low voice:

"Well, I don't know where Lord Mu lives? I want to buy a house closer to her......"

Before Yan Tianying could speak, Wanfa Zhenren pursed his lips and smiled, and teased:

"Xiao Mu is the flower of the Divine Capture Hall, and he is in the capital, and he is also the number one beauty. Xiao Shen, you are very ambitious! ”

Shen Lang laughed:

"What, when Yingzhou was in Yingzhou, Lord Domengmu took care of him, and his subordinates were grateful. When I came to the capital this time, I wanted to live close to her, and if she had anything, I would like to help her repay a ...... or two."

Yan Tianying laughed:

"No need to explain! We get it. Speaking of which, the houses around Xiao Mu's house are extremely cheap and basically can't be sold, and if you live next door to her, you can save a lot of money. ”

Well?

Shen Lang was stunned and said:

"Where Muta's people live, the environment is not very good?"

Yan Tianying Road:

"Not really. The 'Xingye Fang' where she lives was originally a good place. is Xiao Mu, although he has a bit of windfall, but in other aspects, his luck is a little worse. Have you ever seen a man sitting in a house, coming up from the sky, and razing his house to the ground? Xiao Mu bumped into it.

"Anyway, her family will always suffer disasters for no reason, and the death of stones from the sky is an extreme case, but it has only happened once. However, fires are common, and there have been several times when people have sought revenge and found the wrong place, touched her house and fought her, and even haunted her.

"Over time, the residents around Xiao Mu were unbearable and moved away, and the vacant houses couldn't be sold, but they were cheaper for you."

“……”

Shen Lang was speechless for a moment.

……

Although buying a house in the capital is a big deal, Shen Lang is really embarrassed to trouble Yan Tianying and Wanfa Zhenren again.

One of them is a great grandmaster and the big boss of the Divine Capture Hall, busy with official business, and the other is a big real person who is impossible for ordinary people to meet, put down their respective things, and accompanied Shen Lang to work for a day and a night, not only helping him realize his promise to Bai Shishi, but also helping him partially solve the hidden danger of the spider mother.

So after returning to Beijing, Shen Lang proposed to ask Yan Tianying to help him send a guide to take him to buy a house.

As for the matter of going to the "Imperial Capital Daoist Academy" to study, Wanfa Zhenren has prepared a letter of recommendation for him, and when he settles down, he can enter the "Imperial Capital Daoist Academy" at any time with the recommendation letter and tokens of Wanfa Zhenren.

Because it was the beginning of the lanterns when he returned to Beijing, Shen Lang rested in the Shenzhu Hall for one night, and the next morning, he followed an old scribe sent to him by Yan Tianying to buy a house in the "Xingye Fang" where Mu Qingxue lived.

Bai Shishi joined a team of operations under the Shenzhu Hall and began her first dangerous mission, going to the northern barrier of the Jingshi "Taiyi Mountain" to hunt down a group of horse thieves who have been rampant recently.

It is said that among the horse thieves, there is also a wild monk who can do one or two hand Taoism, and the leader of the horse thieves is also a Jiangyang thief with strong martial arts and rich experience. Bai Shishi's martial arts have fallen to two major realms, and this trip to participate in the operation is likely to be in danger of life.

But this is her path of atonement, whether it is life or death, it is her life.

Shen Lang's purchase of a house went very smoothly.

The price of Beijing is expensive, and the housing price is very high.

Xingyefang is located in the inner city, not far from the imperial city where the yamen of the ministries are located, and the housing prices are even higher than the sky.

A seven-grade county, if he is not promoted in his life, he will have to work hard for more than 30 years to buy a set of small courtyards in Xingyefang.

Even if Shen Lang has a small net worth, if he wants to buy a house in other normal areas of the inner city of Beijing, he will have to spend most of his net worth.

But the houses around Mu Qingxue's house are not in this case.

The price of the house near her home is very low, only two or three percent of the normal house price.

That's it, it can't be sold at all.

Therefore, Shen Lang easily bought a two-entry courtyard facing Mu Qingxue's house, with only a bluestone street in the middle.

The reason why I didn't buy the house next door to her was just to avoid being affected by disasters such as fires and rocks.

Separated by a two-zhang wide bluestone street, it can be somewhat safer.

With the help of the old scribe of the Divine Capture Hall, he negotiated a deal with the owner of the house, signed a contract, and went to the Jingzhao Mansion to go through the transfer procedures, pay the deed tax, and pay the purchase price to the owner.

Put away the deed stamped by the government, and invited the old scribe to the restaurant for a big meal, Shen Lang moved into his house in the capital after noon.

It took another half a day of hard work, and I was busy until dusk, and finally cleaned up the inside and outside of the two courtyards.

Jumping onto the ridge of the second gate, condescendingly looking at the fruits of the afternoon's labor, Shen Lang nodded with satisfaction, planning to prepare a few good dishes, call the little demons out, and have a big meal to celebrate.

was about to jump back into the courtyard, looking back at Mu Qingxue's house on the other side of the street, Shen Lang became interested, flew to the crest of the outer courtyard, looked over there for a while, and saw Mu Qingxue's small courtyard, which was also a second entry, how desolate was it?

Most of the partition between the outer and inner courtyards had collapsed, and the barely standing half of the remnants of the wall were covered with smoke and fire, and even traces of sharp blades.

The houses in front and back are also dilapidated.

Except for the main house in the inner courtyard, which is still intact, the rest of the houses, even the roof are full of holes. Whoever dares to fly on the roof of her house will fall into the house if he is not careful.

The wing room on the left side of the main house in the inner courtyard is even more empty, and there is only a charred beam, hanging alone on the frame.

Even the ground of the yard is full of potholes, and traces of filling can be seen in many places.

Mu Qingxue has been away from Beijing for a while, the house has been unattended for a long time, and the ground and walls in her dilapidated courtyard are full of weeds, looking like an uninhabited abandoned house.

"Tsk, that's miserable!"

Shen Lang shook his head and sighed with emotion, and then looked at Mu Qingxue and his neighbors, and several houses were uninhabited at all.

"That's fine, Qingjing!"

Shen Lang smiled, jumped back into his yard, put the small fish into the pond in the inner yard, released Xiaoya and Xiaogu, and explored and played with them in their new home, while he took out pots and pans, firewood, rice, oil and salt from the space, and went to the well in the backyard to fetch buckets of water, and began to cook a big meal.

Mu Qingxue will not return to Beijing for a while, and during this period, he will live alone in this area.

Soon, however, he would go to the Imperial Capital Academy for further study.

At that time, I am afraid that it will be several days before I come back.

"When Mu Qingxue comes back, will she be very surprised to know that I will live opposite her, or will she be very surprised?"

……

Mu Qingxue didn't know that Shen Lang also prepared a "surprise" for her.

She only knows that her mood changes have become more and more intense recently, and she is often impulsive and angry at every turn.

Two days ago, because of the affairs of the Yingguo Mansion, there was a quarrel with a certain head catcher of the government office, and he actually slapped the other party so much that he vomited blood from internal injuries.

Although the head catcher was the Duke of Yingguo, who opposed her everywhere when Mu Qingxue was investigating the eucalyptus, and repeatedly obstructed her, in any case, before getting the evidence and taking off the other party's head-catching uniform, the other party was her nominal colleague.

Hurting a colleague in a public place like the government office, even if she is a big man from Beijing, it is a very bad influence and a very taboo thing.

In the end, the matter ended with Mu Qingxue paying the healing pill and a sum of gold and silver, and apologizing.

To be honest, when apologizing, looking at the other party's implicit smug face, the evil fire in Mu Qingxue's heart once kept bubbling out, and she almost couldn't help but slap the other party's head.

After suppressing the anger and apologizing, she went to the uninhabited sea alone, tread water for more than ten miles, and squandered her true qi on a small desert island, bombing indiscriminately, until the terrain of the small desert island was changed by half, and the evil fire was exhausted.

Mu Qingxue also knows the root cause of her changes.

It was the "demon seed" left behind by the six-armed snake demon.

Although the demon seed was sealed around her navel by various means, and the snake demon's plan to snatch her away from her was not realized, the position where the other party was finally entrenched was too close to her dantian.

Although the three-rank martial artist cannot take the initiative to "refine the gods", the true qi can already passively feed back the primordial gods, imperceptibly strengthen the primordial gods, and make the primordial gods more and more tenacious.

And that demon seed is entrenched in the "Shenque" acupoint of her navel, affecting her true qi at all times. After that, the true qi that was affected by the demon seed slowly affected her primordial spirit.

This kind of influence, in a short period of time, will not distort her nature and pollute her into a demon, but will only make her mood swings more and more violent, and her temperament will gradually become irritable and irritable.

But if the "Demon Seed" exists for too long, even if the snake demon remnants are unable to take it away from her, she herself may gradually become a demon due to the deep pollution accumulated by the Yuan Shen.

Mu Qingxue knew the crux of the matter.

But for the time being, there is no way to solve it.

If you want to uproot the demon seed left by a demon of the level of the six-armed snake demon, you must at least ask Yan Tianying or a certain first-class real person to take action.

Can't you write a letter back to the capital and beg Yan Tianying to make a special trip to Yingzhou to help her get rid of the demon seed, right?

Mu Qingxue seems to be cold and quiet, but in fact, she has a very strong temperament.

Otherwise, as for being able to use the body of a woman to cultivate the true qi of "Tiangang Battle Qi", which has extremely high requirements for heart and will, and all the way to the third grade - Tiangang War Qi requires only four words for heart and will: no return. Simplified to two words: head iron.

This can be seen from her feat of bravely walking in a straight line to the Thousand Star Islands and driving directly to King Shark Island.

In short, with Mu Qingxue's temperament, she didn't want to trouble Yan Tianying before handling the affairs of Yingzhou.

At the very least, she had to eradicate the power of the Blood Shadow Cult in Yingzhou before she could have the face to return to Beijing.

As for Yingguo Gong, this old aristocrat has his back on the emperor, and he also has deep roots in Yingzhou, and the contemporary Yingguo Gong is cunning and cunning, and he cut off the clues that are unfavorable to the Guogong Mansion one by one early, and it is impossible to bring down Yingguo Gong in a short period of time.

This will probably be a long struggle.

If you say something disrespectful in your selfish heart, you may even have to wait until the current emperor dies, or the emperor takes the initiative to give up the Duke of Yingguo, it is possible to bring him down.

Mu Qingxue knew that she might have to stay in Yingzhou until winter, and before the Chinese New Year, she might be able to return to Beijing.

At this time, she can hold on, and she will not be affected by the "demon seed" to the worst extent.

It's just a matter of getting a little more grumpy.

I don't know how far Shen Lang can cultivate when she returns to Beijing.

If he is still insisting on what kind of "double cultivation of law and martial arts"...... Well, with his talent, the martial arts are seven grades, and the Dao skills have also reached the seventh grade, so there should be no problem.

But if you go up, I'm afraid it's hard to get an inch.

At that time, he will have to choose a path and focus on his cultivation.

He must be able to choose spells, right?

After all, his Dao talent is still far above his martial arts talent.

I don't know if he has arrived in Jingshi now, or whether he has entered the Imperial Capital Daoist Academy......
