Chapter 197: Don't get set

In addition to the five peaks of Lingyun, Sunset, Bixiu, Qingying, and Dawn, Yunhaishan also has the Hall of Elders, the Hall of Punishment, the Hall of Sects, the Hall of Merit, the Hall of Martial Arts, the Pavilion of Heavenly Machines, the Pavilion of Books, the Pavilion of Divine Weapons, the Pavilion of the Law Spirit, and so on. ∑ top novel,

Among them, the Zongshi Hall is responsible for managing the daily affairs related to the disciples and miscellaneous servants in the sect, and Wei Changfeng, as a new disciple, must first come to the Zongshi Hall to point to the right position, so that it can be regarded as truly included in the door wall.

In addition, if Wei Changfeng wants to live in the lower city of Yunhai, he also has to use the Guò Zongshi Hall to allocate a dormitory residence.

According to the rules of the sect, all registered and outer disciples must live in the lower city, even if they are locals!

Located in the center of the lower city, the Zongshi Hall is surrounded by greenery and antique buildings, and there are many disciples who come in and out, most of them are outer disciples and registered disciples like Wei Changfeng and Zuo Yan.

"It's not easy to live in the sea of clouds, but it's difficult to live in the city!"

Zuo Yan said to Wei Changfeng: "Senior Brother Wei, the cost of living in the lower city is not small, if you want to make money, there are a lot of expatriate jobs to do in the sect hall, but don't offend the stewards and deacons inside, otherwise"

He looked left and right, lowered his voice and said, "Otherwise, you have no chance here, you can only go to the Hall of Merit to take on tasks, none of the sect tasks of the Hall of Merit are simple!"

Like that Senior Brother Chen, Zuo Yan could also see that Wei Changfeng was from an ordinary background and had a hard temper, so he was worried that if he didn't know the depth of the sect, it would be difficult for him to move an inch in the sect.

Wei Changfeng understood the meaning of his words, and he didn't say much. Just nodded to indicate that he understood.

Zuo Yan saw it in his eyes. I sighed in my heart.

He reminded Wei Changfeng out of pure kindness. It's just that it seems that Wei Changfeng didn't pay attention to it at all, and he had seen someone like Wei Changfeng before, but he was hit by reality and bled out, and he couldn't even get along.

Yunhaimen is famous, and the disciples in the sect are all superior, but within the sect, there is no identity ability, and it is extremely difficult to gain a firm foothold.

Under the skillful guidance of Zuo Yan. The two of them came to a side hall in the sect hall.

Although it is a partial hall, the scale of the layout is no less than that of the ordinary main hall, which is arranged like a study, with bookshelves and desks.

Especially on the long Huanghuali desk in the middle, the books with blue covers are stacked high.

A lean old man with a goatee sat behind his desk, his head bowed and he was writing hard.

In the side hall, there were more than a dozen disciples, and several of them stood on the side of the desk and waited patiently.

Zuo Yan pulled Wei Changfeng and said softly, "Let's wait, let the senior brother in front finish it first?"

His gaze froze. His expression became strange.

Wei Changfeng followed his gaze and found that there was a familiar face among those disciples.

Chen Zhuo!

This guy is actually in the sect hall too. To say that it was just a coincidence, it would be incredible.

It just so happened that Chen Zhuo also looked over here, and the eyes of the two happened to be together.

A hint of banter appeared on the face of this outer disciple, as if he was waiting to watch a good show, and his eyes were full of the pride of a villain!

Wei Changfeng remained silent, guessing that the other party's appearance here was most likely deliberately aimed at him.

As for what trick Chen Zhuo is playing, it is estimated that he will know soon.

Zuo Yan next to him seemed to think of something, and his face became ugly.

"Next!"

At this time, the lean old man sitting behind the desk put down the pen in his hand and said in a deep voice.

Several disciples standing on the side took a step back with tacit understanding and looked at Wei Changfeng in unison.

The thin old man waited for a moment, and his eyes also fell on Wei Changfeng's body, frowning a little impatiently.

Wei Changfeng's heart sank, and he immediately stepped forward and stood in front of the desk.

"Junior disciple Wei Changfeng, I've seen my senior!"

He bowed to the other party without being humble or arrogant, and said, "The disciple is new to the beginning, so come and order." ”

As he spoke, Wei Changfeng took off his identity nameplate and handed it over for the other party to test.

This step is Zuo Yan told him, and the back of the nameplate is numbered, which needs to correspond to the content recorded in the book to verify the identity, so as to prevent others from counterfeiting.

The lean old man nodded coldly and asked, "Where are you from?"

Wei Changfeng replied, "The disciple is from the Jingyun Martial Academy, and he is a native of Jingyun. ”

Hearing the name Jing Yun, several outer disciples, including Chen Zhuo, showed disdain.

"Jingyun"

The lean old man flipped through the books on the desk, and quickly found the corresponding contents, he carefully checked Wei Changfeng's identity nameplate, and finally took a pen and wrote a few words on the page.

"There's no problem with your identity"

The lean old man handed the nameplate back to Wei Changfeng along with a gray booklet, and said, "From today on, you are the outer disciple of my Yunhai Gate, remember to keep the rules of the door, and don't insult our reputation in Yunhai!"

Wei Changfeng took the things over and gave another salute: "Disciples, you should keep it in mind!"

The lean old man said again: "According to the rules of the door, all outer disciples must settle in the lower city, and the disciples' dormitories are very tight at present, and there are no empty rooms in the upper and middle houses for the time being. ”

After a pause, he continued: "You pay fifty taels of silver to live in the lower house first, if necessary, you can register here first, and in the future, if there is a vacant room in the middle house, I can give it to you first." ”

Wei Changfeng knew that the disciple dormitories in the lower city were mainly divided into three types: the upper house, the middle house and the lower house, the upper house was a luxurious single suite, the middle house was a single room, and the lower house was a four-person room.

In simple comparison, the middle house is undoubtedly the most ideal, and it is convenient to live at a suitable price, while the upper house needs to use the merits of the sect to live, and ordinary disciples cannot afford it at all.

Despite this, due to the large number of outer disciples and registered disciples in Xiacheng, both the upper and middle houses are quite sought-after, and whether they can be rented depends on luck.

As for the lower house, although the price is the cheapest, the conditions are the worst.

On the way to the Zongshi Hall, Wei Changfeng had inquired about Zuo Yan, so he understood it very clearly.

For example, Zuo Yan himself lives in the lower house, and he works hard to make money as a guide, one of the purposes is to change to a middle house to make himself more comfortable.

And just when Wei Changfeng was silent, Chen Zhuo secretly glanced at an outer disciple.

"This Senior Brother Wei"

The latter comprehended, and immediately stepped forward, leaned into Wei Changfeng's ear and said in a low voice: "If you want to live in the middle house, my room can be transferred to you." ”

"The original price is three hundred taels of silver, how about I only need you three hundred and fifty taels?"

Three hundred taels of silver!

Wei Changfeng was a little surprised, and at the same time, he intuitively felt the high price of the sea of clouds.

The price of renting a single house for a year is actually 300 taels of silver, no wonder Zuo Yan said that it is difficult to live in the city, not to mention that it is difficult to move an inch without money, and it is impossible to sleep on the streets!

In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is understandable that Yunhaimen is a big family, but if tens of thousands of disciples have to rely on the sect to provide for them, I am afraid that they will not be able to support it for a few years.

Tilt the elite children to invest resources to strengthen the strength of the sect, and then squeeze the value of ordinary disciples to make up for the shortfall, whether it is the Xuanmen Sect or the Demon Sect Left, their practices have actually been similar for thousands of years.

And if ordinary disciples want to get rid of the fate of being oppressed, they can only rise up and strive for the top position, which in turn ensures that the elites in the sect come out in large numbers, rather than a pool of backwater!

Of course, for Wei Changfeng, three or five hundred taels of silver is nothing at all, and a fifty increase in price is even more trivial.

But he instinctively felt that things were not so simple!

At this moment, Wei Changfeng didn't see Zuo Yan's expression not far behind him.

The young man's face turned red, his hands clenched and he stopped talking, his eyes flashing with pain and struggle.

He wanted to step forward several times, but he was forced to move by the fierce eyes of Chen Zhuo and another outer disciple - he couldn't afford to provoke it, and he didn't dare to provoke it!

"No need!"

Wei Changfeng didn't hesitate for long, and categorically rejected the other party's offer.

The outer disciple was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at Chen Zhuo.

Wei Changfeng didn't pay any attention to him, but asked the lean old man, who was the steward of the Zongshi Hall: "Senior, in addition to the upper, middle and lower three houses, is there another courtyard?"

"Annex?"

The thin old man, who was already very impatient, was also stunned: "Do you want to live in another hospital?"

"Hahaha!"

Chen Zhuo next to him laughed loudly and sneered: "I really don't know anything about the small place, do you know who lives in the other courtyard? Do you know how much the rent is for a year? Do you think you can rent it with money?"

Chen Zhuo just gave the outer disciple a look, and asked the latter to have a private conversation with Wei Changfeng It was a deliberate calculation, although Zuo Yan knew it, he was forced to dare not say it.

But he didn't expect that his calculations were completely in vain, and Wei Changfeng was not fooled at all.

This made Chen Zhuo's heart extremely unhappy, and when he heard Wei Changfeng say that he wanted another courtyard, he couldn't help but laugh loudly.

The disciples' dormitory in the lower city contains twenty-four sets of annexes, and the conditions of the annexes in all aspects are far greater than those of the upper dormitory, and the natural rent price is also very expensive, and it is not possible to use money.

Therefore, ordinary disciples would not even consider renting another courtyard at all.

"Ahem!"

The thin old man coughed twice, and said unhappily: "There is another courtyard, but it is not possible to use money." ”

Wei Changfeng glanced at Chen Zhuo disdainfully, and then said lightly to the lean old man: "I know, it takes fifty sect merits to rent for a year, right?"

He took out five pieces of crimson jade on the spot and placed them in front of the latter.

Ten meritorious red jade!

Everyone present was dumbfounded——
