Chapter 101: The Cruelty of the Cultivation World (Seven Watches)
"Ah, this ......"
Ji Bo often looked at the locked door, listened to his sister-in-law's resolute tone, and seemed to realize that he had been 'kicked out of the house'...
While thinking that my sister-in-law was heartbroken about her finding a partner, she also secretly lamented that her image as an 'honest person' was too deceptive.
That's it, that's it~
He showed a knowing smile and shouted at the locked door: "Sister-in-law, then I'll go to the Hundred Treasure Pavilion to find the jade quiet~"
With that, he hummed a little song and turned away...
Before he got out of Wuyi Lane, he seemed to have discovered something interesting, and his pace slowed down.
Somehow, most of the doors of the residential houses in Wuyi Lane are closed, and the key is that they have all withdrawn their formations...
This is Fang City, and it is normal for the cultivators who live there, and the door is closed, but it is not normal for the formation of the nursing home to be removed.
There are indeed some people who don't have a formation because they are in the middle of the road, just like the sister-in-law in previous years, who can't even afford the rent, let alone the formation of the nursing home...
But even if the family is in the middle of the road, it is impossible for so many families to all have a life accident, right?
There is also a possibility that people have moved away and the yard is vacant...
Ji Bochang frowned slightly and looked around, and found that Wuyi Lane was a lot deserted, and those neighbors who liked to hang out on the streets in the past seemed to have moved, and there was no trace...
When I walked to the end of Wuyi Alley, I could still see a group of outer disciples of Xianxia Mountain negotiating with the residents of the house, as if they were discussing something.
He hesitated for a while, and saw that a familiar disciple of the outer sect of Xianxia Mountain was fine outside the door, so he stepped forward and beckoned: "Wang Daoyou, don't come to harm?" ”
The monk surnamed Wang was one of the outer disciples of Xianxia Mountain who collected his sister-in-law's rent at the beginning, and he was a relatively talkative person...
He is not very familiar with it, but before he bought the courtyard, he had a few encounters when he paid the rent.
“……”
The monk surnamed Wang couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he saw someone greeting him, and after seeing the person who came, he seemed to think of who he was, and he also said politely: "But Ji Daoyou in person?" ”
Ji Bochang smiled, "It's Ji..."
The monk surnamed Wang seemed to have thought of something, and when he saw the red jade wrench on his finger, he showed a sudden expression, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Ji Daoyou~"
"Huh?"
Ji Bo was often slightly stunned when he heard this, and he didn't think for a while what his 'congratulations' meant.
"A few days ago, Ji Daoyou's house was purchased by Baibao Pavilion, and I guessed that Ji Daoyou should have served as a guest in Baibao Pavilion."
Seeing that his expression was incomprehensible, the monk surnamed Wang quipped in a teasing tone after explaining: "With such a high achievement, shouldn't you be able to 'congratulate'?" ”
"Hahahaha~"
Ji Bochang reacted to what he said at this time, and returned the salute with a smile: "You're polite, you're polite~"
After saying that, he looked at the disciples and residents of the outer sect of Xianxia Mountain who were interacting in the courtyard, and asked meaningfully, "Wang Daoyou, is this official business?" ”
"It's some official business..."
The monk surnamed Wang was idle and bored outside the door, and when he saw someone talking, and the person who talked to him was still a guest of Baibao Pavilion, naturally there was no reason to refuse...
He pondered for a while and explained: "The above is preparing for the four great competitions, and at that time, in addition to the four great immortal sects, there will also be many people from other immortal sects who will come.
Some are simply invited to observe the ceremony, and bring the disciples of the mountain gate or family to see the world;
some use the reason for the ceremony to discuss cooperation;
There are even some demons and evil ways that will come here to fight the autumn wind.
Either way, there will definitely be a large number of new faces in the market in the near future, and the above will also pay attention to this matter.
Therefore, an order was given to reorganize the residential areas of Fang City, move the tenants elsewhere, and make room for those who came from afar to rent. ”
He seemed to think of something, and said quite incomprehensibly: "Originally, the environment of Wuyi Lane was average, and it was not within the scope of the rectification area...
But somehow.
A few days ago, after the resident real person in Fang City came out, this Wuyi Lane was also zoned into the rectification area, so it was a little hasty..."
"I see."
Ji Bo often nodded thoughtfully when he heard this.
Thinking of what he said, Wuyi Lane was not in the rectification area, but a few days ago it was assigned to the rectification area by the resident real person, and I couldn't help but feel moved.
A few days ago, Feng Protector of Xianxia Mountain gave him a jade plaque that he could serve in Fang City, stating that the resident real person retreat practice in Fang City No. 4 was only out after testing the spiritual root.
Moreover, Protector Feng also said that he had greeted that Shen Zhenren before he came to find him.
That Shen Zhenren knew about Xiao An'an, and even knew the relationship between Xiao An'an and himself and his sister-in-law.
Now, after Shen Zhenren came out of the customs, he divided Wuyi Lane in the rectification area and moved the tenants elsewhere, and there must be some connection between the two!
Ji Bochang pondered for a while and asked, "Wang Daoyou, the tenants in Wuyi Lane were ordered to be moved elsewhere, so what about those of us who bought a house?" Do you want to move away too? ”
"Not really..."
Seeing his posture, the monk surnamed Wang thought that he was worried that his family would also be moved, so he smiled and said with relief: "Ji Daoyou doesn't need to worry too much, it is the tenant who has moved away, and the house that has been purchased is the resident's own assets, and it is not within the scope of relocation." ”
"Oh~"
Ji Bochang nodded abruptly, and said with a smile: "Thank you Wang Daoyou for solving your doubts." ”
"It's nothing."
Seeing that his attitude was humble and polite, the monk surnamed Wang seemed to have thought of something, and immediately looked around, and then reminded softly: "But Ji Daoyou had better let Baibao Pavilion change your residence." ”
"Changing residences?"
Ji Bochang was slightly stunned when he heard this, and asked with a slight frown: "What happened to Wuyi Lane?" ”
"This ......"
The monk surnamed Wang just smiled and waved his hand, muttering vaguely: "It's hard to say, it's hard to say~"
“……”
Ji Bo often saw his demeanor when he spoke, as if he had something hidden and it was difficult to speak, and he smiled at the moment.
"It's Ji who is presumptuous~"
As he spoke, he stroked the storage bag, and there was a small jade bottle in his hand, and then the 'careless' one fell into the pocket of the monk surnamed Wang...
"This... Wang didn't mean that~"
The monk surnamed Wang said, 'That's not what he meant,' but his hand smoothed the propped up.
He glanced around to make sure that there were no idle people around, and then explained softly: "Ji Daoyou, in recent times, several scattered cultivators have died in this Wuyi Alley. ”
"Huh?"
Ji Bo often heard that his breath was stagnant, and he asked in disbelief: "This Wuyi Alley is in the depths of Fang City, how can it kill people?" ”
"They didn't lose their lives in the market, but they went out and met evil cultivators..."
"Ji has been in retreat at home recently, and he has never gone out, and for some reason, he still hopes that Wang Daoyou will talk about the matter here."
"Actually, it's nothing..."
The monk surnamed Wang was speechless and said, "It's just that recently, the evil cultivators outside the Fang City have been rampant, and there are many loose cultivators in the Fang City who have been killed outside.
And among these scattered cultivators who were killed, several of them came from this Wuyi Alley, as if they were being targeted, which was very weird. ”
Seeing that Ji Bochang's face was solemn, he smiled sharply at the moment: "Ji Daoyou, you don't need to worry too much, maybe it's just a coincidence..."
"Hehehehe~"
Ji Bochang couldn't hear the meaning of his words, and immediately echoed with a smile: "There are countless scattered cultivators who die outside Fang City every year, and it is not surprising that a few families are from Wuyi Lane~"
"It's extreme~"
When the monk surnamed Wang saw him on the road like this, he also smiled and laughed at the moment: "Those are just what I said casually, I can't take it seriously, I can't take it seriously~"
"As it should be!"
Ji Bochang seemed to think of something, and took out a jade bottle and 'accidentally' fell into his pocket.
Then he asked with a slight movement in his eyes: "Wang Daoyou, do you know which of our Wuyi Lane scattered cultivators died in the hands of evil cultivators, they are all neighbors, and Ji Mou is also mourning." ”
"I shouldn't have talked too much about this, but Ji Daoyou is not an outsider..."
The monk surnamed Wang snorted with a red face, stroked his mouth and said softly: "Just recently, it seems that there are four families in Wuyi Lane who have been killed outside...
They are Tan Ziyong of the ninth household in the alley, Shi Xianbo of the twenty-first household in the alley, Qiu Rongtao of the twenty-third household in the alley, and Shao Renbin of the third household in the alley. ”
“……”
Ji Bo often heard that his pupils shrank...
He has lived in Wuyi Lane for so many years, not to mention how familiar he is, but he also knows that these four people have children in their families, and the children are all about the same age as Xiao An'an, and they were all fighting together when they were children!
For example, the one who was scratched by Xiao An'an a few years ago was the heir of Tan Ziyong's family...
It's just that when Xiao An'an grew older, he was sent to Baiyun Academy by himself, and he had a lot less contact with them...
Now, these people are all dead outside the city!
Ji Bo often thought of Xiao An'an being brought into Xianxia Mountain to practice with a psychic body, and then thought of what Qiu Yourong and Feng Yunqiu said, and suddenly realized a little in his heart...
Scattered cultivation in the fang market begging for a living, it seems that it has nothing to do with the great sects of Xianxia Mountain, but in fact, the net worth and life are in the thoughts of others!
If...
If he wasn't Xiao An'an's uncle, but just a stranger who was familiar with Xiao An'an, would he also 'accidentally' die at the hands of evil cultivators outside the city?
Thinking of this, he only felt that his mouth was dry, and his understanding of the cruelty of the cultivation world became a little clearer...
