Chapter 25: Atmosphere rendering from the neighbors
While Wang Luo was meditating on the housekeeper's tree, the door of the west wing squeaked open.
Wang Luo turned his gaze in some surprise.
I saw a slender woman with long hair and waist, holding on to the door, leaning out half of her body, looking around with a vigilant gaze, when she saw Wang Luo, she was a little surprised, and she retracted her body behind the door with some fear, and closed most of the door, almost revealing half of her face.
However, only this half of his face was enough to make Wang Luo admire.
This is a delicate face that can endorse the words "I see pity", in terms of appearance, excluding those idealized virtual images in Taixu, this woman is the most Wang Luo has seen after leaving Lingshan and entering Rongcheng.
In addition to her appearance, her immortal cultivation is also quite good, a golden pill in her abdomen is round and full, the true yuan fluctuates lightly but does not jump out, especially the primordial attainments are even more amazing, and the divine thoughts are like substances, keenly probing the surroundings, but not publicizing.
He is definitely a master from a professional class.
Obviously, this is what Shi Yue and Zhao Xiuwen mentioned before, Fan Li, who specializes in the way of calligraphy and painting in Ningdan in Rongcheng Academy.
It's a pity that Fan Li didn't know Wang Luo, and after hesitating for a moment, she whispered: "I've already called Tsing Yi, you, you belong to the trespass now, let's leave quickly." ”
Wang Luo was stunned for a moment, and then regretfully realized that Fan Li regarded the dignified Lingshan Mountain Lord as a fellow party of the black vest when they first met, but considering that her other cultivation skills were all first-class, only her physical cultivation talent was worse than that of the black vest, and she was eyeless and beadless, so she was not to blame.
"I'm Wang Luo, a new tenant, currently living in the back cover house temporarily."
Fan Li was startled, apologized again and again, and then asked, "Then, those people who collect debts, have they already left?" ”
"I don't think I'll be coming back anytime soon."
"Great." Fan Li breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "I just quoted Fu to report the case, but the people from Qingping Division couldn't prevaricate, I'm worried about what to do......
Wang Luo raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Tsing Yi of Stone Street, has he always done things like this?" ”
Fan Li shook his head, and then shook his head again: "I, I usually rarely come into contact with Tsing Yi here, and I don't know if I always do this, but it stands to reason that as long as I receive a spirit rune summons, I should send someone anyway......"
"Interesting, so it stands to reason that I should complain about them."
Fan Li was taken aback: "You want to complain about Tsing Yi!?" Don't, it's going to be troublesome to be hated by Tsing Yi! ”
"Dereliction of duty, but also hatred of others, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world?"
"But!" Fan Li wanted to explain, but she didn't know how to phrase it, so she was so anxious that her cheeks turned red.
"Okay, the complaint is just a casual talk, you don't have to be anxious, go back and rest quickly."
Wang Luo kindly reminded him, because Fan Li's delicate face still had two obvious dark circles under his eyes.
Even if the physical cultivation talent is zero, it is incredible that the dignified Jindan real person can leave dark circles on his face, and it is usually only when he encounters the crazy replenishment of the master of the Hehuan Sect. And Fan Li is clearly still a virgin.
But in any case, the deficit has reached such a situation, and the best option is to rest in place.
Fan Li was relieved when she heard Wang Luo give up her complaint, and then put on a faint wry smile: "Thank you for the reminder, I will pay attention to rest." ”
Then, with a slight sigh, the woman closed the door, obviously what she was going to do next had absolutely nothing to do with rest. As a young man in the new era, her temperament is no less than Shi Yue's.
In this regard, Wang Luo can only respect, understand, and bless, and by the way, there is a trace of curiosity.
Shi Yue had clearly been prejudiced against Taixu, especially the Taixu Painting Scroll, why did he take in a Fan Li who worked in the Painting Scroll Workshop? Because there is also sympathy between the kings?
However, regardless of these details for the time being, Fan Li's appearance eventually led to another problem.
The two black vests came to the door to make trouble, and there may be Qingpingsi's tacit connivance behind them.
Of course, maybe this is just that Qingping Division is busy for a while and can't spare manpower; Perhaps as the current manager of Stone Street, Qingping Si wants to investigate the ability of the Jade Lord Reserve; Maybe Fang Cai actually had Tsing Yi on the scene, but Wang Luo solved the problem too quickly and didn't give them a chance to play.
But his intuition told Wang Luo that things might not be so simple.
At this time, he stood in the inner courtyard of the stone mansion, subconsciously looking up at the sky, and through the gaps in the branches and leaves of the housekeeper tree, he could only see a piece of azure color. However, in this clear blue, there seem to be thousands of invisible thin threads, intertwined into a chaotic net, slowly shrouded in. Countless threads looked like tentacles with teeth and claws, reaching out to Shifu as well as him!
This whim in the dark made Wang Luo's mind immediately work, and he opened an invisible array under the tree, following his intuition and going upstream.
For a person who can almost hit every shot in a gacha, intuition is always worthy of respect.
However, when it comes to calculations that do not rely on intuition, Wang Luo's progress has become very slow, he has not long awakened from Lingshan, and his understanding of the new world is still very thin, and it is difficult to extrapolate more based on the existing information alone, but he is idle anyway......
Even in the evening, the door of the east wing creaked open, interrupting Wang Luo's thoughts.
Zhao Xiuwen yawned and walked out of the door, this work-study and ambitious Nanxiang man knows the importance of concentration very well, so he is focused enough to sleep, and he doesn't know anything about what happened during the day.
So, when he learned that Shi Yue was asked to collect debts, it was still an unreasonable debt, Zhao Xiuwen was not only angry, but also a little guilty.
"The rent that Sister Yue gave us is only half of the market price...... Otherwise, the pressure on her to repay her debts should be much less. She was short of money more than any of us, but she never put it in an irreplaceable position. We, the tenants, are actually being taken care of by her. ”
After that, Zhao Xiuwen couldn't help but tell the story of Shifu and several tenants, although he came to Rongcheng not long ago, he was cheerful and inquired, and he was actually a doorman for the story of Shifu.
The first is the story of Shifu.
Many blind streams in Shijie think that Shifu was inherited by Shi Yue from his father Shi Xiusheng, but in fact, this small courtyard was inherited by her grandfather Shi He from generation to generation as early as when Shi Yue first remembered. At that time, Shi Xiusheng was not addicted to gambling, but obviously in the eyes of the older generation, it was already clear whose future the Shi family was.
It's a pity that Shi He died too early, and Shi Xiusheng fell too quickly, so that before the family's only little property could be gradually handed over to Shi Yue, it was squandered by Shi Xiusheng, and even the jade talisman was almost pawned by him. But in any case, Shi Xiusheng's debts cannot be implicated in this Shi Mansion.
Therefore, if Shi Yue can live a utilitarian life and put aside all the burdens brought to her by the family, then she can completely guard this exquisite courtyard to collect rent and live a rich and comfortable life.
But she refused, not only did she shoulder the family's debts alone, but even this small courtyard was taken by her to help others.
The first beneficiary is Fan Li.
Fan Li has excellent talents, Ning Dan is in Rongcheng College, and works in the Taixu Painting Scroll Workshop, which has been hot in the industry recently, earning a lot of money, and is an out-and-out civilian elite...... But in fact, she has her own hardships, and her original family almost sucked her blood dry. On the one hand, she works overtime day and night, but on the other hand, most of her income is used to make up for the deficit of her original family, and the money she has at her disposal is often less than that of Zhao Xiuwen, who is a work-study student.
And this kind of economic situation is completely insufficient to support her and other colleagues to rent a house in the prosperous area around the workshop, and even if Shi Yue had not provided her with a nearly half-price West Wing house, Fan Li would have been able to find a single room in the suburbs of Rongcheng and live a four-hour daily commute, which is not as good as a workplace and a bunk life.
The second beneficiary is Qin Yu, a little old man with a sad face, who rarely interacts with others on weekdays, and Zhao Xiuwen doesn't know much about him, only that he has suffered an accident in middle age, and has fallen directly from the elite Academy Street to wandering on Stone Street. If it weren't for Shi Yue's help, Qin Yu would have been desperate for a while. Shi Yue not only provided him with a low-rent south house, but even introduced him to a job as a janitor.
The third beneficiary is Zhao Xiuwen, he and his girlfriend Zhou Lu came to Rongcheng from Nanxiang, determined to be admitted to Rongcheng Academy, but in the end, only Zhou Lu barely passed, and Zhao Xiuwen fell to Sun Mountain by a narrow margin.
And the price of losing Sun Shan's name is far from being as simple as wasting a year's time.
In order to enter Rongcheng Academy, you must pass the entrance examination, and to participate in the entrance examination, you must first obtain the qualification for the examination. There are roughly the following ways to obtain qualifications: first, if you are from a top-class family, then the relationship will naturally be secretly dredged up early, and you only need to wait for the flying sword to be sent to the door; The second is that there is a recommendation from a first-class Mongolian college, and Zhao Xiuwen came to take this road, but unfortunately the admission examination is abnormal, and the shelf life of the recommendation letter is only once...... Thirdly, it is to participate in the Chengyin Hall sponsored by the outer courtyard of the college, that is, the cram school, and at the end of the school year, those with good grades can get valuable admission qualifications.
And this Chengyin Hall has many requirements for students, the first of which is to have a stable practice place in Rongcheng. This requirement seems simple, but it is a hidden mystery, because according to the law of Rongcheng, the general residence is at most a place to settle down, and the three words of cultivation place are extraordinary. Among the tens of millions of houses in the entire Rong City, there is not one in 100 that has been certified as a "cultivation place".
To put it bluntly, this is a clause for selecting elites, and they can't even afford to buy a cultivation place, so what kind of Rongcheng Academy do you want? What's more, in recent years, the academy has lowered its standards, even if it is rented. If you can't afford to buy a place to practice, can't you afford to rent it?
Zhao Xiuwen is exactly the kind of person who can't afford to rent, the house price in Rongcheng is already in the sky, and there is a heaven outside the sky with the blessing of the cultivation ground, even if the toilet is a single room, the monthly rent is five or six thousand spirit leaves.
Then, Shifu is a rare exception in the entire Rongcheng, because of its historical origins, although this small courtyard is located in Shijie, its appearance is not good, but it is really a small cave blessed land that can assist cultivators! It was certified by the Golden Deer Hall thousands of years ago, and among the many cultivation places in Rongcheng, it is a rare genuine item!
Shi Yue rented the East Wing to Zhao Xiuwen at a price of less than half of the market price, and even came with a lot of exercises and auxiliary cheats that he had used, many of which were inherited from the Shi family, which were worth a lot of money!
"So Sister Yue's business is my business, my ability is limited now, and money can't help me much. But now there are debt collectors who come to the door, which is too much. Most of my classmates at Cheng Yin Tang specialize in the law, and this kind of lawlessness is a good practice for it! ”
As Zhao Xiuwen spoke, he was already gritting his teeth.
Wang Luo then reminded him that he didn't need his help in the matter of money, and he had already solved the imminent million-dollar debt.
Zhao Xiuwen didn't have such an exaggerated reaction to Shi Yue's daily income of one million, but after exclaiming that the legendary Lingshan people were really omnipotent, he said with a straight face: "This matter has nothing to do with money, but a matter of basic legal justice. I know that Qingping Si has always covered the sky with one hand on Stone Street, so I really can't do it, so I asked Zhou Lu to help too, she is a serious college student, and her appeal is much stronger than mine, and many students over there like to participate in social practice......"
As he spoke, he heard a hearty woman's laughter from outside the hospital.
"What do you want me to help with?"
Before the laughter fell, a girl in yellow had already stepped through the door of the inner courtyard and appeared in front of the two.
The girl seems to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, born delicate and beautiful, it is the wonderful years when childishness and charm coexist, the curvaceous curves have begun to see the scale, and a pair of long legs are particularly eye-catching.
Obviously, this uninvited girl is Zhao Xiuwen's proud girlfriend Zhou Lu.
Zhou Lu walked into the inner courtyard, and at first glance saw Wang Luo under the housekeeper tree, his eyes couldn't help but shine, and blurted out: "So handsome!" Are you that Wang Luo? ”
Then he naturally changed his words and looked at Zhao Xiuwen: "It's only a little worse than my boyfriend." ”
Zhao Xiuwen couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then smiled bitterly: "Let's talk about the great law when we praise people......"
Zhou Lu walked over and patted Zhao Xiuwen on the shoulder: "Why is your skin suddenly thin?" Is there something on your mind again? What were you discussing and asking me to help with? ”
Zhao Xiuwen glanced at Wang Luo, and seeing that he did not object, he briefly stated the matter just discussed.
Zhou Lu was immediately indignant when she heard this: "This is too much!" What the hell does the Stone Street Qingping Division want to do?! They don't care about this kind of illegal and chaotic laws in broad daylight, are they worthy of the Tsing Yi on their bodies?! I'm going to talk to my sister about it! ”
As he spoke, Zhou Lu raised his hand and began to contact the classmates in the academy, but the content of the conversation was not convenient for outsiders to hear, so he turned around and entered the east wing.
Zhao Xiuwen gave up his hand apologetically, and then said: "Zhou Lu has always done things like this, from Nanxiang to Rongcheng, she is the main ...... everything."
Wang Luo said: "No wonder the acacia guide style, the cultivation is the yin style. ”
Zhao Xiuwen almost choked out the gastric juice: "How do you know!?" ”
"Obviously, right? Why do you feel that others can't see it? ”
"Except for you, no one can see the flow of other people's qi and blood through the flesh and skin of clothes, and deduce the asana of Hehuan by the way!"
Wang Luo couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that not everything is progressing in the new era...... So she came to you for double cultivation? ”
Zhao Xiuwen said: "Strictly speaking, I am making up for the lessons, my recent schoolwork progress has not been good, and I have been close to the bottom of several small exams in the classroom, and I can't afford to hire those one-on-one tutoring gentlemen in Chengyin Hall, so I have to let Zhou Lu help with his difficulties." ”
While speaking, he saw the door of the east wing suddenly open, and Zhou Lu walked out with a stunned and confused face, the spirit rune in his hand trembling with the wind, like a withered branch and a lonely leaf.
