During this time, the doors of each family were closed, and no one dared to go out easily.

In the east direction, there is a roaring and fighting sound that makes people tremble from time to time.

Qin Jiyue also stayed at home honestly, not daring to take half a step out of the house, and didn't even have the idea of going out to collect intelligence information.

After all, there is chaos and complexity outside, and as long as the monks are not from their own forces, they will be recognized as enemies.

In order to confirm their own safety, anyone will take the lead and would rather kill the wrong person than let it go.

Li Guanxuan was not so panicked, his ears did not hear what was going on outside the window, he ate on time every day and drew talismans intimately, and his days were no different from before.

About a month later, the war finally ended.

According to what Li Guanxuan learned......

After Huanxi Mountain struggled to support it for more than half a month, the ancestor who had not lived much chose to sacrifice himself with blood to help the head of Huanxi Mountain step into the peak of foundation building.

Even so, Huanxi Mountain could not resist the invasion of the four major forces, and the head finally broke out of the siege and fled from here.

Many of the elders and disciples who remained were either obedient or died.

After a round of bloodbathing and the distribution of benefits, the area of Huanxi Mountain was divided into the Falling Moon Valley.

As for what the other three major forces have gotten, Li Guanxuan doesn't know.

"The Mountain of Rejoice Perishes...... No, it's not really annihilation, after all, the head of the pinnacle of foundation building has not yet fallen, and many years later, maybe he will come back...... Is this considered 30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi, don't bully the middle-aged poor? ”

Li Guanxuan fell into deep thought.

If they were thinking about escaping from the beginning, then they could both leave together, so why bother to sacrifice themselves in the end?

Therefore, Li Guanxuan guessed that maybe the two of them had not found the Velvet Flower Spirit Tree and failed to understand the mystery, so they were unwilling to leave like this.

The old ancestor is about to die, and there is no hope, but the head of Huanxi Mountain, who is middle-aged, has a bright future.

Once the Velvet Flower Spirit Tree is recovered, and the mystery is understood, there may be hope for the resurrection of the Ancestor......

This is Li Guanxuan's calculation and guess from the perspective of the two of them.

Of course, it is also possible that this is not the case.

No matter what the situation is, it doesn't matter to Li Guanxuan, as long as he stays at home honestly, sooner or later one day he will be able to slap the threat of the head of Huanxi Mountain to death.

After all, even if the other party didn't fully know the secret of the Velvet Flower Spirit Tree, he at least knew a little bit about it.

When the other party reveals the secret, he will definitely start investigating everywhere......

Therefore, Li Guanxuan can try not to make a move if he doesn't make a move, and he doesn't even bother to argue with others.

Today, someone knocked on the door.

Qin Jiyue went over to open the door and saw two middle-aged people in magic robes, she couldn't help frowning slightly, and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

She recognized the two men, who were in charge of rent collection...... Former Huanxi Mountain Outer Sect disciple.

Now it seems to be the outer disciple of the Falling Moon Valley.

One of them looked embarrassed and said, "Eh, Mrs. Qin, that's the case, Luoyue Valley asked us to come over and collect the rent......"

Qin Jiyue said unhappily: "Didn't you just pay it over a month ago?" ”

"That's the rent given to Huanxi Mountain, not the Falling Moon Valley."

The tone of the other person was not so good, and he said indifferently and bluntly: "In order to find out whether there are still details of Huanxi Mountain in Qing'an City, Falling Moon Valley specially sent us over to conduct a door-to-door investigation, as long as it is a tenant who is willing to pay rent, then it is a friend of Falling Moon Valley, and vice versa......."

Hearing this, Qin Jiyue's face was gloomy and ugly, this was obviously blackmail!

At this time, Li Guanxuan immediately walked over, took out a spirit stone bag and handed it to the other party, and said with a smile: "This is our rent this year, as for the extra forty spirit stones, it is considered the tea fee of the two Taoist friends, it is hard." ”

The middle-aged man with a simple and mellow face took the spirit stone bag and sighed: "Master Li, we are also acting according to orders, and now no one is having a good time, so you can take back the extra spirit stones." ”

Saying that, the honest middle-aged man was about to hand back forty spirit stones, and the eyelids of the person next to him jumped, and he secretly scolded Lao Hong in his heart for being a fool?

Li Guanxuan stretched out his hand to block it, and said with a helpless smile: "Hong Daoyou, as you said, no one is having a good time now, if you don't charge this tea fee, there will be other people who come to collect it, or even more, I just want to be safe and continue to live here." ”

Hong Daoyou was stunned, nodded with a wry smile: "Qing'an City has not stabilized yet, if your family does not have enough food, I can help send some over." ”

Li Guanxuan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Shortcoming, Lingmi." ”

Hong Daoyou silently wrote it down.

The man next to him asked, "Is there enough meat?" ”

"I'm almost done." The corners of Li Guanxuan's mouth were bitter.

"Put it at your doorstep at the right time, remember to take it away quickly."

The man said a word, and then added, "About the amount of six spirit stones." ”

Li Guanxuan was stunned for a moment, then took out the storage bag, counted out ten pieces from the scattered spirit stones, handed them to the other party, and said gratefully:

"Thank you."

Both of them also saw that in Li Guanxuan's storage bag, there were still more than a dozen lower-grade spirit stones left.

The man counted out four spirit stones and returned them to Li Guanxuan, and said angrily: "There are only sixty catties of spirit beef, don't expect me to bring you more." ”

Seeing that Li Guanxuan wanted to say something, Hong Daoyou hurriedly stopped with his eyes and interrupted:

"Okay, Master Li, remember to open the door and take away the rice and meat, don't let people pick it up, we are still in a hurry to the next house to collect rent, so we won't bother."

"Lingmi's money...... Well, thank you two Taoist friends, keep it in mind. ”

Li Guanxuan bowed his hand and thanked him again and again.

After the two left, Li Guanxuan closed the door, and while he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he saw Qin Jiyue staring at him dumbfounded.

"What? Why do you look at your husband with such adoring eyes? Li Guanxuan laughed in a low voice.

"Treacherous man......"

Qin Jiyue looked stupid just now.

If she remembered correctly, Li Guanxuan still had at least three or four thousand spirit stones in her hands, a bunch of talismans, and enough food for their family of three to eat for three years......

But just now, the embarrassed state on Li Guanxuan's face didn't look like acting at all!

There was also the wave of operations that counted spirit stones, which simply made her jaw drop.

Qin Jiyue said strangely: "No, why didn't you take a spirit stone bag out earlier and count it?" In this way, it may be possible to spend forty spirit stones less than the unjust money. ”

Li Guanxuan put his arm around her shoulders and explained slowly and patiently:

"At the end of the war, although the Falling Moon Valley obtained the spiritual veins in this area, the price paid was definitely a lot, otherwise they would not have tried every means to fish for spirit stones and squeeze the bottom level of casual cultivation.

Outer disciples like Hong Lang and Cui Zhi, who were originally from Huanxi Mountain, were actually not less oppressed than us.

After all, the bloodbath has just ended, and the supernumeraries who were able to survive and keep their positions have basically gone bankrupt.

If you think about it carefully, Cui Zhi used to be a person with a smile on his face and quite amiable, if he hadn't been beaten by reality now, he wouldn't have changed as if he had changed.

Forty low-grade spirit stones, not too much, not too little, but enough for them to support for a while, and remember my good ...... Why not? ”

After Qin Jiyue slowly digested these words, she was full of emotion.

She suddenly discovered that Li Guanxuan actually knew how to manipulate people's hearts better than her.
