[10,000 words! 】

Three days later, Kyoshi, early in the morning.

Gu Hongye wore a brand-new fast trapping uniform, hung a Shenyutang waist card, and carried a long sword in his hand, and came to the inner city "Xingye Fang".

She followed the address that Shen Lang left in the Shenzhu Hall, walked through the streets and alleys in Xingye Fang, inquired from passers-by from time to time, and finally came to an alley that was a little too quiet.

"No one?"

Passing by the silent courtyards of two houses with locked doors in a row, and seeing that the grass on the wall had grown to a height of one or two feet, Gu Hongye was suddenly surprised:

Doesn't it mean that the housing prices in Beijing are as high as the sky, and if the idle officials are honest and self-controlled, they will never want to buy a house in the inner city for the rest of their lives?

This Xingye Fang is also in the inner city, not too far from the Liubu Yamen, such a good location, how can there be so many empty houses that seem to have been idle for a long time?

After thinking for a while, Gu Hongye figured out a few ways:

"The landlord should be waiting. Wait for the house price to rise higher before selling! In this way, not only will you not have to worry about your life, but your children and even grandchildren will not have to worry about money...... Damn! Just because there are so many people in Jingshi who hold on to the house and don't sell it, the housing prices have risen all the way, so I can only live in a small single room in the Shenzhutang Yamen......"

Regarding the housing price of Jingshi, Gu Hongye is very resentful.

After this battle of the Demon Cave, in order to compensate for her mental loss by Shen Lang and enter the Demon Cave, and to reward her for her contribution in the Battle of the Demon Cave, the Divine Capture Hall gave her two choices.

One is the same as Wang Heihu, who got a bounty of 12,000 silver dollars.

The other is to reward her with a four-grade sword, plus two thousand silver dollars.

As a genius swordsman, Gu Hongye certainly chose the second type without hesitation - 10,000 silver dollars is indeed a huge amount of money, but the four-grade sword is even more priceless.

I don't know how many warriors who use four-grade swords on the rivers and lakes have never touched the four-grade sword once in their lives, and they have been referring to swords and palms instead of swords.

Gu Hongye was in the demon cave, and after a while of Shen Lang borrowed her "Xuanbing Sword", she tasted the sweetness of the four-grade sword, how could she still use ordinary steel swords and finger swords to palm swords?

In this way, she got the four-grade sword called "Slashing the Wind" in her hand now, as well as two thousand silver dollars.

Two thousand silver dollars is also a huge sum.

In the countryside of Qingyang Mansion, Gu Hongye's hometown, it is enough to buy nearly 300 acres of high-quality fertile land, and he is comfortable to be a landlord who collects rent.

Anyway, even if Gu Hongye has a good family background, otherwise she would not be able to support her to practice martial arts since she was a child, and she has cultivated all the way to the fourth grade, but even so, if she wants her family to take out two thousand silver dollars in one go, she will have to sell some belongings to make up enough cash.

So when Gu Hongye wrapped two thousand yuan around his waist, his confidence immediately swelled, and he felt that he was too rich, and immediately wanted to buy a mansion in the inner city near the Yamen.

As a result, when I inquired, not to mention the mansion in the compound with three entrances and three exits, even an ordinary two-entry courtyard started at 7,000 silver dollars, and there was no bargaining......

This made Gu Hongye deeply understand how terrible the housing prices in Jingshi are, and her hometown Qingyang Mansion is simply two worlds, and she has two thousand yuan in her pocket, how poor she should be in a place like Jingshi......

Of course, if you don't pursue the inner city and only buy a house in the outer city, or even in the city, you can still buy a good house for 2,000 silver dollars.

But the problem is that it is too far away from the yamen, and the Jingshi is not allowed to run horses, nor is it allowed to fly high and high on the wall, so he walks on two legs, or rides slowly, and it is too inconvenient to commute to work every day, and it will delay time in case of emergency.

In desperation, Gu Hongye, who was obviously carrying a huge amount of money, could only temporarily live in the small single room of the Yamen of the Shenzhutang Hall, eat the big dining hall of the Yamen, soak in the big bathhouse of the Yamen, and go to the public toilet of the Yamen......

Anyway, Gu Hongye felt that unless he encountered a big eucalyptus like the "Black Lotus Demon Cave" again in the future, participated in the killing, captured a number of fifth- and fourth-grade masters, and seized a large amount of thieves, and shared a large bounty, otherwise relying on the normal salary of the Divine Capture Hall alone, as well as the New Year's bounty, if he did not take bribes, it would be difficult to save enough money to buy a house in the inner city of Jingshi for ten or eight years.

After all, as a martial artist, she is still a high-level martial artist who has entered the fourth grade, and her daily cultivation is also very expensive.

With a full stomach full of resentment about the housing price of Jingshi, Gu Hongye came to the door of a house without a big lock.

Looking at the clean wall without a single weed, and the big word "Shen" on the door plaque, Gu Hongye knew that this was Shen Lang's house.

"Damn, Shen Lang is obviously a newcomer, how can he be so rich and be able to buy a mansion in the inner city?"

Gu Hongye thought in pieces, came to the door, and with a little unhappiness, he clenched his fist and knocked the door panel, that posture was like a drum.

Dongdong Dong made a few loud noises, and a clear young man's voice came from inside:

"It's coming, it's coming!"

With a creak, the door opened.

A short-haired young man wearing an apron, hands dipped in flour, tall, straight back, handsome facial features, and heroic and extraordinary, appeared in front of Gu Hongye.

Seeing this heroic young man with a sunny smile, the unhappiness in Gu Hongye's heart suddenly disappeared, and he reined in the evil appearance when he slammed the door just now, coughed lightly, and said softly with a sweet smile that showed six snow-white teeth:

"My name is Gu Hongye, and I am a trainee catcher in the Divine Capture Hall. This little brother, may I ask, is Shen Lang Shen Catching Head at home? ”

The heroic young man smiled:

"Congratulations to the Momiji girl for successfully joining the Shenzhu Hall. Well, I'm Shen Lang. ”

“……”

Gu Hongye blinked, and only reacted half a beat slowly, his eyes widened in disbelief, and he said in shock:

"What? Are you Shen Lang? You...... Aren't you a fat man who can block sword energy? Why did you suddenly change into a ......?"

Shen Lang touched his chin and said with a smile:

"I said that I was trying to sneak into the devil's cave and change my appearance. What you see now is who I am. Okay, they're all comrades-in-arms who have fought side by side, don't be so angry, come in. ”

As he spoke, he got out of the way and made a "please" gesture to Gu Hongye.

Gu Hongye stepped into the threshold and followed Shen Lang towards the second courtyard, staring at Shen Lang all the way, his eyes were still full of incredulity.

"Shen Zhutou, how did you reduce your current appearance from a big fat man of two or three hundred pounds in just three days?"

"Didn't lose weight. The appearance of my big fat man was transformed by magic. If you disarm the spell, you will naturally change back to your original form. ”

"But your big fat body with white flowers looks real! That day in the Black Lotus Demon Cave, I could see it clearly, the sword qi hit it, and your fat flesh was still trembling for a while, and it was all wavy......"

"I used the 'Appearance of All Beings' mantra blessed by Venerable Liuli himself, the mantra blessed by a dignified real person, and the changed appearance is of course the same as the real one."

"Fa cultivation is really convenient......"

As they spoke, the two of them had already crossed the second gate and entered the inner courtyard.

As soon as he saw the inner courtyard, Gu Hongye saw a small skeleton dancing with a sword, and a little white rabbit squatting quietly under the eaves, squinting a pair of ruby-like eyes to watch it practice swords, and from time to time combing its ears and cheeks with its front paws.

There was also a small red carp, wrapped in a large water ball with a diameter of two or three feet, rolling around in the yard.

Seeing this strange scene, Gu Hongye actually looked determined:

Not unusual. The skeleton Dao soldier summoned by Shen Lang has already seen it, and this little skeleton practicing sword must also be the Dao soldier he summoned.

As for the little red carp that rolled around on the ground wrapped in a water balloon......

It must also be a means of Dharma cultivation!

To be calm, I, Gu Hongye, am also a person who has seen a big scene now, but I can't show my cowardice, I can't let the people of the capital look down on the people of our Qingyang Mansion, and joke that we are uninformed townspeople......

The little white rabbit looks very cute, quiet and well-behaved, and you can hug it later.

In this way, Gu Hongye looked calm and calm, and followed Shen Lang to the kitchen without squinting.

Hey?

Why did you bring me to the kitchen?

When I was wondering, I saw Shen Lang come to the eucalyptus board, knead the dough neatly, and then pull down a lump of dough, and start making ramen very skillfully.

"Hey, you still make ramen?"

"Well, the craft I just learned. You haven't eaten breakfast yet, have you? Let's have some food and try my handiwork. ”

Gu Hongye was not polite to him.

Fighting side by side in the demon cave, entrusting each other's backs, and killing each other with a sword, what is so polite?

At the moment, she nodded neatly:

"Okay. I only need two pounds of noodles. Are there eggs? I would also like to add a few fried eggs. Eight...... No, five is fine. ”

"No problem."

"Is there fresh meat? I love shredded pork noodles at home. You don't need to put too much, just put half a catty of fried shredded pork on it. ”

"That's fine!"

"Pat two more heads of garlic and put some chopped green onions, as long as the green onion leaves are not white. There is also old vinegar, my favorite Qingyang time-honored brand in my hometown. Of course, if Jingshi really doesn't have it, you can change to an old Jingshi store, and I'm actually not very picky......"

Shen Lang really didn't expect that Gu Hongye, who was arrogant and conceited when she first saw her, and was quite a bit venomous, would still have such a talkative side, so she quickly interrupted her broken thoughts:

"Momiji girl, why don't you go pick some leeks for me? There are no leeks in the kitchen. ”

"Oh, okay."

Gu Hongye turned around, and as soon as he stepped out of the threshold, he turned back again:

"Well, where do I pick leeks?"

"There's a small flower garden in the backyard, but I don't like flowers, so I planted onions, garlic and leeks. Don't uproot, leeks can be harvested repeatedly......"

After returning home the day before yesterday, Shen Lang began to grow vegetables.

But there is a little rabbit here, and the vegetables planted the day before yesterday can certainly be eaten today.

Gu Hongye asked where the little flower garden was, and went over to pick leeks.

When she came back from picking leeks, Shen Lang had already made ramen noodles and cooked them in the pot.

Seeing that he had two small pot-like sea bowls on the stove and a small sea bowl, Gu Hongye couldn't help asking:

"Anyone else in the house?"

Shen Lang smiled:

"Nope. But I invited Master Muslim, and she will come over for dinner later. ”

"Huh? Muslims are coming too? ”

"Well, she lives right across the street from me."

"What? You're living across the door from Muslims? Why didn't anyone in the yamen tell me about this! ”

Gu Hongye suddenly felt a little nervous, and unconsciously began to tidy up his clothes and hair.

Shen Lang remembered the situation when he went home with Mu Qingxue the day before yesterday.

At that time, Mu Qingxue thought that he was going to send her home, but she didn't refuse, just a little silent, her expression was a little subtle, and she was distracted for a while from time to time, with a look of wandering eyes, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Then when Shen Lang accompanied her to the door of her house, he said goodnight to her, and went straight to the house opposite the door to unlock the door, Mu Qingxue's expression at that time was wonderful.

"Shen Lang you...... Bought my house across the door? ”

"Yes, the location here is so good, and the house price is very cheap, if you don't buy it, you won't buy it for nothing."

"But do you know why the house prices here are so cheap, but they still can't be sold?"

"I heard there's been a haunt here?"

"Not only have there been ghosts, but there have also been many fires, and people from the rivers and lakes have come to fight every once in a while, and even fell into a stone ......"

"It's not a big deal, is it? I'm a peerless genius in both law and martial arts, and this little thing can't hurt me. ”

“…… It's okay if you live here, and if there is any situation, I can also take care of you. It's just that you have to be careful when you sleep at night, don't get into trouble for no reason. ”

"Thank you, Lord Muslim. But I've always been lucky, and I shouldn't have been inexplicably affected. But you, Lord Muslim, I heard your luck ......"

"Hahaha...... What a joke, that's all rumors! You've seen my luck with your own eyes, and I've picked up more gold than you've ever seen in your life. Xiao Shen, now that you have officially joined the Divine Capture Hall, you can't believe the things that catch the wind and shadows, and don't listen to the rumors! ”

Then that night, a fire broke out in Mu Qingxue's house......

Now it's winter, the weather is dry, the wind is not small at night, Mu Qingxue has been on a business trip for half a year, no one has cleaned up at home for a long time, the weeds in the yard are almost half a person deep, the fire is together, the wind blows, and the fire is immediately bigger.

Shen Lang was woken up by Xiao Gu and hurried over to help put out the fire.

After extinguishing the fire, half of Mu Qingxue's last intact house was also burned down, and the neighbors were also affected. What's even more outrageous is that there are actually a lot of sparks, blown by the wind and drifted to the opposite door of the Shenlang house.

If it weren't for Shen Lang's little obsessive-compulsive disorder, even if it was already late when he got home, he would still clean and weed as soon as possible, and there were small fish in the pond, so he would have to light his house.

After extinguishing all the fires, even the smoldering sparks, the two searched inside and out for a long time, but they couldn't find the cause of the fire.

"It stands to reason that it's winter, and the weather is very cold, so something shouldn't spontaneously combust!"

"Maybe some critter brought the candle in its mouth? Or was the tile blown down by the wind and sparked on the rock? ”

"This ...... It can't be such a coincidence, right? I've never heard of tiles hitting stones, and sparks will emerge! ”

"The world is so big, there are no surprises. Maybe the tiles were mixed with small grains of flint? You see a lot of bizarre things, and you get used to it. ”

“……”

Regarding the luck other than Mu Qingxue's fortune, Shen Lang was completely convinced anyway.

Mu Qingxue is very good at making fun of suffering, and claiming that there was a fire on the first night she got home, which is actually a good sign, indicating that she will be prosperous all year round next year......

Shen Lang saw that half of Mu Qingxue's only house that could live was burned down, so he invited Mu Qingxue to live at his house for one night and repair the house together the next day.

Mu Qingxue thought about it seriously for a while, but finally refused-it wasn't that she was afraid of lonely men and widows, melons and plums, or anything, she just felt that her luck was too prosperous and prosperous, and she was afraid that the feng shui of Shen Lang's house was not strong enough, and she couldn't suppress her momentum, and she would soon lose her house......

So that night, Mu Qingxue meditated for a night in the half-collapsed house.

Anyway, for the Sanpin martial artists, sleep is no longer necessary for survival, and it is completely possible to completely replace sleep with meditation.

Mu Zhutou didn't even have a place to sleep, and the kitchen was naturally scrapped a long time ago.

Shen Lang got up early yesterday morning, made breakfast, and called at the door and invited her to come over for dinner.

This time, Mu Qingxue did not refuse, and at his invitation, she had a meal with him.

Then all day yesterday, Shen Lang was helping Mu Qingxue repair the house.

His big slap spells such as his vigorous grappling hands can't do too fine operations, but it's easy to do some hard work such as moving stones and erecting beams, and he doesn't need a ladder to go up and down the wall or transfer directions, so it's very convenient to do the work.

With the two joining forces, it only took half a day for Mu Qingxue's house to live again, and even the kitchen was repaired.

That night, in order to thank him, Mu Qingxue personally cooked a dinner.

I don't know if it's because of the heavy waves, this time Mu Qingxue actually burned the fire and cooked without fire, and there was no chimney blockage, which was a small accident that often happened in her family before, and Shunshun made a hearty meal.

Mu Qingxue lived alone very early, and often went out to do eucalyptus, and it was common to sleep in the wilderness, so she practiced good cooking skills. Even if it is not as good as the famous chef, the food made is delicious.

Shen Lang accepted her hospitality, had a full meal, and invited her to come over early the next morning to taste his ramen skills.

Between neighbors, there is a way to get along.

Now.

Shen Lang fried eggs while chatting with Gu Hongye:

"Where is Wang Heihu?"

Gu Hongye is helping him cut shredded meat at this moment, as a genius swordsman, she uses a kitchen knife quite well, the shredded meat is cut in a moderate size, the thickness is even, and she looks like an old red eucalyptus master:

"She left Jingshi early yesterday morning and went back to her hometown. said that he had earned such a large bounty and was going back to his hometown to repair roads. ”

"Build roads?"

"Hmm. Her hometown is a very remote mountain village, and if the villagers want to sell some mountain goods and exchange some salt, they have to carry a backpack on their backs and walk over the mountains and mountains for several days. She came out to be a bounty hunter in order to make money to return to her hometown, build bridges and roads for her hometown, and make it convenient for the villagers to travel. ”

Shen Lang was in awe:

"I didn't expect Brother Wang to have such feelings!"

Gu Hongye couldn't be happy:

"Ha, you call her Brother Wang again......"

"No way, her name is really too easy to misunderstand."

"yes. It's all her father's name. Speaking of which, it was because her mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to her, and her father was the sole decision of the name, so she fell into such a name. In addition, it was all thanks to the help of her fellow villagers that her father pulled her up. Wang Heihu, although his mouth is a little poisonous, his heart is really good, he is grateful to his fellow villagers, and he has to give back to his hometown when he makes a lot of money. ”

Wang Heihu's mouth is poisonous?

Shen Lang glanced at Gu Hongye with a subtle look in his eyes, and said:

"Wang Heihu was born in the kind of remote mountain village where he had to go out of the mountain for several days, how did he practice martial arts to the fourth grade?"

"She was lucky, when she was a child, she met a medicine collecting Taoist priest in the mountains, and the old Taoist priest saw that she had a good talent, so he stayed and taught her martial arts for three months. Just what she learned in that March, she supported her to cultivate all the way to the fourth grade. ”

"After teaching kung fu for three months, Wang Heihu was taught to be a four-grade master...... Even if Wang Heihu himself is talented, it is not easy for the medicine collecting Taoist priest! I can't say what kind of hidden master. ”

"Yes, she said that she was successful in practicing martial arts, and only after she went out of the mountain to make money did she know that the old Taoist priest who taught her martial arts may have at least three grades of martial arts. Otherwise, it would be impossible to teach a disciple like her. It's a pity that her master didn't tell her name, not even the road number. She has been to many places since she left the mountain, and she has inquired for a long time, but she has not found out where there is such an amazing old way. ”

"Wang Heihu is honest with you, and he even told you this."

"Of course. She's a talker, and she likes to pull me to chat when she's okay in the past two days, and she doesn't need to ask about anything. ”

“……”

Wang Heihu is a talker?

Shen Lang glanced at Gu Hongye with a subtle look in his eyes.

Gu Hongye noticed his eyes and said strangely:

"What do you keep looking at me?"

Shen Lang opened his mouth and came:

"You're good-looking, and you're eye-catching."

"Oh, what a thing! Muda is called good-looking. There is also the Liuli Venerable, who is like a goddess in the sky. Wanfa Zhenren is also as good-looking as a fairy in the script. Compared to them, I'm just an ordinary woman......"

Gu Hongye said this, but she was a little happy in her heart, and her cheeks were slightly red.

She also put down the kitchen knife, raised her hand to pin a strand of bangs hanging down behind her ear, and adjusted her standing posture to aim her most beautiful and beautiful side face at Shen Lang, so that he could take good care of his eyes.

"It's not ordinary, Miss Red Leaves, how do you say that she is also one in a million good looks, otherwise she wouldn't have been selected by the Black Lotus Demon Cave, and she wants to arrest you to be a 'heavenly concubine', isn't it?"

Well, Gu Hongye's information is clearly written, she is not only the first talented swordsman of the young generation of Qingyang Mansion, but also the first beauty of Qingyang Mansion's martial arts.

And Shen Lang has crossed so far, and I have seen a lot of beauties.

Among the beauties he has seen, Gu Hongye's beauty is at least that of Mrs. Zhao and Xue Mingyue - those two, one is Mrs. Guogongru, and the other is the emperor's old lover for many years, and the beauty can certainly be imagined.

And as a martial artist, he has cultivated since he was a child, and Gu Hongye's figure is needless to say, it must be excellent.

It's just that the mind is a little weaker......

Listening to Shen Lang's admiration, Gu Hongye felt proud in his heart, and his face was very humble:

"Don't say that, I'm not as good as Lord Mu, Venerable Liuli, and Wanfa Zhenren......"

"I don't want you to compare with Mu Daren, they are all stunning in the country. If beauty is also divided into grades, then the Mu people are at least a masterpiece. Liuli Venerable and Wanfa Zhenren have a real temperament bonus, which can be regarded as transcendental. If you say Momiji girl, it's at least a three-grade ......"

“……”

What?

I'm actually only a three-grade product?

Aren't the second grade enough?

The corners of Gu Hongye's eyes twitched slightly, and she was a little congested.

But after thinking about it, Shen Lang looks like he is only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he is more than three years older than him, so what is there to worry about with a little brother?

It's good to treat him as a child.

Besides, high-grade martial artists and monks have momentum bonuses, and I am only now a beginner in the fourth grade of martial arts, and my momentum is a little weaker, so I can only evaluate the third grade of beauty.

Waiting for me to complete the four grades, how can I also evaluate the second grade under the momentum bonus, right?

At this time, Shen Lang had already fried the eggs, and began to fry the shredded meat cut out by Gu Hongye, and at the same time asked curiously:

"By the way, what kind of name is your sword? It doesn't feel like an ordinary steel sword. ”

"This sword is called 'Cutting the Wind', and it is a four-grade sword."

Speaking of the sword, Gu Hongye suddenly became excited, and with a bang, he pulled out the sword, revealing a sword body with a blue background and brilliant cloud patterns:

"This sword is made of 100 forged black iron, and when it is formed, the surface of the sword is infiltrated with the powder of 'Tiangang Qingfrost Iron', the sword body is extremely tough, and the blade of the sword is like clay.

"What's even better is that the sword qi released from this sword can be extended like a long whip, and the end can be connected to the sword body all the time, so that it will not lose control due to the release of sword qi, and it can continue to manipulate the sword qi released like a dancing whip."

Shen Lang smiled:

"But then, you'll have to learn a whip technique, right?"

Gu Hongye smiled confidently:

"Not necessarily. I also use the soft sword well, and I have used the nine-foot soft sword at the longest, and I can use the sword qi as a soft sword.

"This sword also has an advantage, even if the true qi is exhausted and can only inject internal force, it can also release sword qi externally, and the power is not much weaker than the sword qi triggered by the true qi, it can also sharpen iron like mud and cut through the true qi of the four-grade martial artist's body. It's just that the sword qi will be slightly shorter, only three feet long. ”

Hearing this, Shen Lang suddenly felt that the characteristics of this sword sounded a little familiar.

Thinking about it for a while, he finally remembered when he had heard of this sword - when Mu Qingxue sent him to go undercover in the pirate gang in Yingzhou, he had used a sword that could release three feet of sword qi when he was in the six-rank internal force realm to inspire him.

It seems that the sword that Mu Qingxue said at the beginning is the "Wind Chopping" sword that Gu Hongye is holding right now.

"You gave up a lot of other rewards to get this sword, right?"

"yes, I gave up a whole ten thousand silver dollars."

Shen Lang gives a thumbs up:

"10,000 silver dollars will be released, Red Leaf Girl, you are really arrogant!"

Gu Hongye held the sword and looked like he couldn't put it down:

"There's no way, for swordsmen like us, I'm happy to exchange my whole net worth for a four-grade sword......"

After chatting for a while, fried eggs and scrambled shredded pork were ready, fried noodles were cooked, and the soup base was adjusted, and Shen Lang began to start the pot.

Gu Hongye hurriedly came over to help, and Shen Lang greeted out:

"Xiao Gu, go and ask Master Mu to come over and eat noodles."

The little skeleton practicing the sword put away its long sword and ran to the front yard with a puff.

Gu Hongye glanced out:

"Your little skeleton looks like a little girl."

"Well, it may have been a little girl when she died."

"Why summon such a short and slender Dao soldier? That kind of tall, bony skeleton shelf should be more powerful, right? ”

"Xiao Gu is small, but his strength is not small, and his swordsmanship is amazing, and he can also learn and improve, which is different from other Dao soldiers."

"Amazing swordsmanship?"

Gu Hongye is interested again:

"Then I'm going to have to fight with it."

Shen Lang smiled:

"Okay, you are also a swordsmanship genius, Master Mu said that Xiao Gu should also be a swordsmanship genius before his death, you two swordsmanship geniuses should be quite exciting to learn swordsmanship......

While talking, the two of them put the noodles in the pot, poured a large spoonful of sauce, added a full spoonful of fried shredded pork, and covered each bowl with several fried eggs, and the two of them took the noodle bowl and side dishes to the dining room.

As soon as the table was set, Mu Qingxue also followed Xiao Gu over.

Seeing Mu Qingxue, the fan sister Gu Hongye quickly wiped her hands and stepped forward to salute.

Mu Qingxue returned the salute with a smile and said:

"There's no need for such a lot of politeness in private in the future."

As he spoke, he consciously sat down on the chair with a small sea bowl in front of him.

The two small pots are similar, and the big sea bowl with noodles, shredded meat, and eggs piled up is naturally Shen Lang and Gu Hongye's.

And Mu Qingxue, as a third-grade martial artist, no longer needs to be so overeating.

In fact, when the martial artist reaches the completion of the four grades, the amount of food can return to normal.

Of course, if you want to open your belly, you can overeat.

Anyway, except for some people who practice special exercises, normal martial artists basically can't eat fat at all.

The three of them ate at a table, and the food looked quite gentle, but the speed was not slow at all.

Not only that, but with the powerful body control of the warrior, the three of them can also speak and chat clearly while eating quickly.

"Master Mu, can those people who have been rescued tell if there are any demon believers among them who have fallen into the 'Black Lotus Heavenly Concubine'?"

"The matter of screening the 'Black Lotus Heavenly Concubine' is done by Wanfa Zhenren and Liuli Venerable, and I don't know the specific situation. Don't forget, I'm on vacation like you, and I haven't been to the yamen for the past two days. ”

After the Demon Cave incident, Shen Lang got a ten-day vacation.

And Mu Qingxue went to Yingzhou, went on a business trip for half a year, and on the way back to Beijing, she was willing to take risks and took the initiative to go deep into the demon cave to explore the eucalyptus, so this trip back to Beijing, she got a full month of vacation, and she could take a break until the New Year.

As for the Chinese New Year, the Shenzhutang will not have a holiday.

Because during the New Year's Festival, it is the period when all kinds of eucalyptus are to be high.

Many Jiangyang thieves will make a big eucalyptus at this time and make a big profit for a fat year.

There are also many killer assassins and vengeance-seeking warriors who choose to kill people and destroy their families when their targets and enemies are reunited.

Even demon believers are especially fond of creating blood eucalyptus at this time to please evil demons.

Therefore, when it comes to the Chinese New Year, other yamen can take annual leave, and during the New Year, the Shenzhutang may be very busy.

And whether it is Shen Lang, who took a vacation a year ago, or Mu Qingxue, this vacation may be canceled at any time-

With that pitiful manpower, with Mu Qingxue's current strength, and Shen Lang's "top" strength only under Yan Tianying, Mu Qingxue and other super masters, if there is really something big to do, they will inevitably be canceled from vacation and urgently recalled.

Gu Hongye: "Master Mu, I have some doubts about my practice, can I ask you a question or two?" ”

Mu Qingxue nodded:

"Yes. Although I don't practice kendo, I have fought against many master swordsmen. Especially fighting to the death with that silver-robed woman, I learned a lot. If you want to point out your kendo know-how, experience or something, I may not be able to say, but it should still be possible to help you find the shortcomings in swordsmanship through hand-to-hand learning. ”

Gu Hongye raised his eyebrows:

"Thank you, Lord Muslim."

Shen Lang: "Master Mu, my martial arts have also been a bit bottlenecked recently, why don't you also point me to one or two?" ”

Mu Qingxue was speechless:

"You...... You can also see how powerful the Dao Fa is, a four-grade Fa cultivation almost made me helpless...... You are obviously a unique Dao talent, why waste your energy on martial arts? ”

Shen Lang smiled:

"Because the Tao is so simple, you can learn it as soon as you learn it, and it is not challenging. Or martial arts is a little more difficult. At least, I haven't had a single skill in terms of moves until now, which has reached the level of 'supernatural mastery'. ”

In fact, his "White Rainbow Through the Sun" lore can already be called "superb".

However, he also used this trick well, and there were only two variations of stabbing and slashing.

The other martial arts moves, at best, barely reached the level of "skillful".

“……”

Is the Tao too simple?

If you spread this, I don't know how many people will want to kill you......

Mu Qingxue glanced at Shen Lang with a strange look in her eyes, and shook her head helplessly:

"That's it, if you have time, I'll also point you out."

Shen Lang hurriedly thanked him:

"Thank you, Lord Muslim. By the way, my lord, the situation in your home can be described as a family with four walls. Why don't you finish your meal and I'll go buy some furniture with you? ”

Mu Qingxue: "Well, you can." We went to the thrift market and looked for cheap second-hand goods. ”

Gu Hongye Qi said:

"Why go to a thrift market and buy second-hand goods? ...... as a Muslim person"

Shen Lang coughed dryly, interrupting her:

"Master Mu has a lot of enemies, and the bounty on the black market to reward her has accumulated to almost 400,000 silver dollars, and it continues to increase. Therefore, there are often enemies and bounty killers who come to the door to commit murder.

"That master fights, how powerful the aftermath is, you can also see the red leaf girl. In short, it is not cost-effective to buy new furniture, just buy some bargains and use it, and you don't feel distressed if it is broken. ”

Gu Hongye suddenly:

"I see...... Well, it seems that I will have to learn from the Muslims in the future and buy cheap old furniture, so as not to be avenged by people after becoming famous and destroying good things. By the way, Shen Zhutou, how much did you buy this house? ”

"Fifteen hundred silver dollars."

"What?" Gu Hongye's eyes widened in disbelief: "Fifteen hundred silver dollars? Isn't the house price in the inner city starting at 7,000 silver dollars, and there is absolutely no bargaining? How can the house price of Xingyefang be so cheap? ”

When he finished, he lowered his voice and whispered:

"Did this landlord commit a crime and hit you in the hand, and you took the opportunity to kill him?"

Shen Lang laughed:

"How is that possible? If I do this kind of thing, do you think Master Mu will spare me? ”

Mu Qingxue said:

"The real estate of the criminals confiscated by the Shenzhutang was auctioned at the market price, and most of the proceeds went to the state treasury, and a small part was used as the funds for the Shenzhutang. We will never give it to private individuals at a price of two or three percent of the market price. Whoever dares to use eucalyptus as a blackmail in private, blackmail criminals, and make private transactions with criminals will end up very badly. ”

Gu Hongye suddenly asked with curiosity:

"Then how did you buy this two-entry mansion with so little money?"

"Just go to the tooth shop to ask the price, and then negotiate the deal with the landlord, and then go to the yamen to pay the deed tax and go through the formalities!"

"It's that simple?" Gu Hongye's eyes widened: "That...... I see that there are a lot of vacant houses here, are there any such cheap houses among them? ”

Shen Lang smiled: "It's all quite cheap." ”

There is another sentence he didn't say: the closer you are to Mu Qingxue's house, the cheaper the house price will be.

Gu Hongye suddenly became interested:

"I have two thousand silver dollars, can I buy a suite here?"

"Yes, two thousand silver dollars is more than enough to buy a small courtyard."

"Can I buy the house next door to the Muslims?"

"That's more than enough."

Cough!

Mu Qingxue coughed lightly:

"Momiji, if you want to buy a house, you should buy it next door to Xiao Shen. I'm ...... over there Well, there are often unscrupulous guests who come to seek revenge, and they live next door to me for fear of being killed by the pond fish. ”

Shen Lang also nodded in agreement:

"Yes, Gu Zhutou, it's better for you to live next door to me. Otherwise, the walls of the seminar, the repair of the roof, and the purchase of furniture will be enough for you to trouble. ”

Gu Hongye thought about it, decided to follow the advice of the two seniors, nodded and said:

"Oh well. But I'm not familiar with it...... Can I contact the landlord next door? ”

"No problem. When you buy the furniture for Master Mu, I'll take you to the dental store to contact the landlord next door. Which side do you want to buy? Left or right? ”

"Whatever, buy which one is cheaper......

"By the way, Gu Zhutou, why did you come to me early in the morning? Wouldn't it just come to me for a chat? ”

"Oops, I forgot to get down to business!"

Gu Hongye slapped his forehead, put down the fast son, took out a jade bottle from his arms, and put it in front of Shen Lang:

"Lord Yan asked me to hand this over to you, saying that it was the 'Fish Dragon Pill' that Wanfa Zhenren refined for you. Because it was the first time to use ichthyosaur wood for alchemy, I was not very familiar with the medicinal properties, so this first furnace only refined seven elixirs. ”

Ichthyosaurus?

Shen Lang's eyes lit up, he picked up the jade bottle, pulled the cork and sniffed it gently, only to feel that the qi and blood, internal force, and even the Yuan Shen were all ready to move, sending him some kind of thirsty signal.

Obviously, it is the ichthyosaur elixir that can be taken regardless of whether it is a human or a demon, whether it is a warrior or a monk.

"By the way, Lord Yan still wants me to tell you that in the next month, Wanfa Zhenren will accompany the Liuli Venerable to guard the Genting Demon Palace, and this second furnace of the Fish Dragon Pill will have to wait until a month later before the furnace can be opened for refining.

"In addition, from the second furnace of the spirit pill, Wanfa Zhenren will collect the alchemy fee, and the first furnace of the pill will charge thirty percent of the cost of the pill. After that, the elixir collected by the ten thousand law real people will be rewarded as a reward to the head catcher of the Divine Capture Hall for meritorious service......"

When Gu Hongye was speaking, a childish voice suddenly came from Shen Lang's mind:

[What smells so good?] Meow wants to eat! 】

Hearing this voice, Shen Lang was immediately overjoyed:

[Xiao Zhao, are you finally awake? 】

[Meow, wake up! Hee-hee, Shen Lang, miss me? 】

After sleeping for nearly two months, the cat demon Xiao Zhao finally woke up with the breath stimulation of "Fish Dragon Pill".

And, as Shen Lang expected, the little cat who successfully refined the Wind King Orb was really directly promoted to the third realm!

[Ask for a monthly pass~! 】
