Chapter Ninety-Seven: Rediscovering the Spiritual Land
As soon as Meng Zhou took two steps, Deacon Zhang's courteous and respectful shout came from behind him: "Senior, please wait." ”
Meng Zhou, who was striding in the direction of the auction hall, stopped his steps and turned to look at Deacon Zhang, who was running quickly.
In just a short period of time, Deacon Zhang had already adjusted his mentality.
At this moment, he had already swept away all the negative emotions in his heart, walked quickly in front of Meng Zhou, and said respectfully:
"Congratulations to the seniors on the success of building the foundation, do you want to go to the auction now?"
"Hmm." Meng Zhou nodded.
Deacon Zhang said: "The road you are taking now can only lead to the first floor of the auction hall, and you need to go in the other direction to get to the private room on the second floor. ”
Meng Zhou was stunned, and also realized the negligence just now.
This is because his own thinking has not yet turned a corner, and he has not realized that he is now a foundation building monk, and his identity and status have changed drastically compared to before the breakthrough.
On the previous two occasions, he had only sat in the hall on the first floor, huddled together with hundreds of nearly a thousand Qi cultivators, and participated in the auction together.
And now, he is a veritable foundation building monk, so he naturally has to go to the private room on the second floor for each foundation building room.
"How to get there?" Meng Zhou asked.
Deacon Zhang said respectfully: "There are many rooms that have been booked by other seniors, and it is not easy to distinguish, which will inevitably cause unnecessary misunderstandings, so I will take you there personally." ”
Meng Zhou nodded and did not refuse: "Okay, I'm bothering you to show me the way." ”
So, Deacon Zhang began to guide him in the front, and from time to time he would gently remind or introduce a few words.
Unconsciously, Meng Zhou had a general understanding of the situation on this second layer.
Although Meng Zhou will not change his low-key and cautious style just because of a breakthrough in cultivation, he will not refuse this change in identity and status naturally brought about by the improvement of strength.
"Who said that Hexin Lou is cold and has no sense of service? That's just not enough before. ”
A small passage of the road made Meng Zhou feel a lot of emotion in his heart.
Following Deacon Zhang, Meng Zhou was ushered into a room with simple and comfortable decoration and a good view, and the auction table and even the area on the first floor could be easily taken into view.
After introducing Meng Zhou into the room, Deacon Zhang turned around and personally brought in a large tray, a pot of spiritual tea, several kinds of spiritual fruits, and special preserved fruits and dried meat, etc., each of which was not too much, but it was superior to a large number of categories, which looked delicate and bright.
Finally, Deacon Zhang said: "Senior, then I will go out first, if you need it, call me at any time!" ”
He stepped back and gently closed the door.
It wasn't until there was only Meng Zhou left in the house that he shook his head and laughed at himself:
"It seems that this feeling of being held by someone is not something that can be adapted to all at once, and it takes a lot of adaptation!"
The personnel are still entering one after another, and the auction has not officially started, while waiting, Meng Zhou tasted all kinds of spirit fruit dim sum one by one.
Not to mention the deliciousness, what was even more rare was that the abundant spiritual essence in it was even better than the finest spiritual fruit he had ever eaten.
Meng Zhou drank another cup of spiritual tea, feeling the rich and dense strange spiritual essence slowly spreading in his body, making him feel warm all over his body.
"They should all be second-order quality, right?" Meng Zhou guessed in his heart, and was amazed by the generosity of the Qingxuanzong behind the Hexin Tower.
Although he knew that the wool would eventually come out of the sheep, he was still amazed by Qing Xuanzong's skill.
After a while, the auction began.
The first to be put on display is still the precious third-order lot.
Listening to the fierce bidding and bidding, Meng Zhou only regarded himself as a spectator and did not participate in the bidding during the whole process.
It's not that there is no lot in his heart, but looking at his shriveled wallet, Meng Zhou instantly regained his senses.
At most, Meng Zhou had more than 56,000 lower-grade spirit stones on his body, nearly 57,000.
Later, in order to make Danchong level, about 15,000 various materials were purchased.
Later, he auctioned a Zhuji Dan at a price of 20,000 yuan, and now he is still lying in the jade volute.
In addition, there are some other miscellaneous consumptions, such as buying some notes in Xiangming Building.
Now the spirit stones in his hand are just over 20,000, which sounds like a lot.
But it's only two hundred medium-grade spirit stones, and for the foundation building monks, this little spirit stone is enough to buy a second-order magic weapon of good quality.
The biggest significance of this auction for Meng Zhou is that he quickly sobered up his somewhat fluttering mentality when he just broke through the barrier, and his feet stepped on the ground steadily.
Well, I also rubbed a tea snack with good quality and appearance.
Meng Zhou glanced at the tray that had been cleaned by him, got up and walked out of the room.
The auction is not completely over, but the auction for the foundation is over.
The next lots were all for Qi cultivators, so he naturally had no reason to stay any longer.
Meng Zhou was pondering the future arrangements in his heart, and Deacon Zhang had already appeared on the opposite side respectfully, "Senior, are you planning to leave?" ”
"Hmm." Meng Zhou responded, staring at the other party twice, "Something?" ”
"Our landlord would like to invite you to meet us."
Deacon Zhang said that he also explained two sentences:
"Every senior who has successfully built a foundation in Hexin Building, as long as he has time, the landlord will meet in person.
It's just that you were out of customs in a hurry, just in time for the auction to start, and he didn't know that you were out of customs until you entered the room. ”
"Oh." Meng Zhou responded calmly on the surface, but his thoughts were spinning in his heart.
Hexin Building is a banner of Qingxuanzong in Qinglinfang.
can be the owner of the landlord here, and the ability and cultivation cannot be low.
For this kind of invitation to the big guy......
"Where is he now?" Meng Zhou asked.
Deacon Zhang pointed to the top of his head: "It's upstairs." ”
Meng Zhou nodded and said, "Please lead the way." ”
Deacon Zhang took Meng Zhou up to the third floor and ushered Meng Zhou into a room.
In the room, two people were sitting opposite each other across a low table.
One of them, Meng Zhou, could only see the side face, but he could basically tell that it was a young man.
Facing the door, sat a middle-aged woman in her early fifties, with a smile on her face, as if she was communicating something with the young man.
Seeing Deacon Zhang leading Meng Zhou in, she looked up at Meng Zhou, looked up and down, and then smiled and congratulated, "Congratulations to Daoyou!" ”
Meng Zhou was also very surprised in his heart, he really didn't expect that the owner of Hexin Mansion would be a woman.
is still an aunt-type character who looks like no edge, calm and gentle.
But Meng Zhou, the new little Zhuji, still greeted respectfully: "I've seen my predecessors!" ”
The woman waved her hand and smiled: "Everyone is Zhuji, I am only a few years older than you, I am all Taoist friends, I dare not be a junior!" ”
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to let Meng Zhou take a seat, and by the way, she introduced the young man sitting opposite her.
"This is Hao Zhen, a true disciple of Qingxuanzong."
Only then did the young man look at Meng Zhou seriously a few more times and nodded in greeting.
Meng Zhou was in his heart, and bowed back to the young man with a fist respectfully.
The owner of Hexin Mansion did not introduce more to the young man, but for Meng Zhou, just a few words "True Biography of Qingxuanzong" were enough information, and even so much that he felt a little indigestion.
After staying in Qinglinfang for so long, I often go to places like Xiangminglou to listen to gossip, and I also know a lot about the rules of Qingxuanzong.
In Qingxuanzong, there are tens of thousands of disciples, and they are also very finely divided, from the most marginal registered disciples, to outer disciples, inner disciples, and true disciples.
But if you really want to take care of it, there are actually only two categories, the true biography and the other.
Registered disciples can be promoted to inner disciples step by step through their own efforts and talents.
Every step has a clear standard, and as long as the standard is reached, it can progress and enhance its identity and status in the Qingxuan Sect.
But this step also stops at the inner door.
True transmission cannot be born in this way.
That's a completely different set of screening criteria.
It is said that as early as when they were very young, the Qingxuan Sect would secretly select some true inheritance seeds.
After some tests, the others were still climbing the mountain step by step, and they had already been taken directly to the top of the mountain.
Qingxuanzong's cultivation standards for the true transmission are also different from those of other disciples.
They don't even need to put pressure on any indicators, and they don't have to worry about slow progress in cultivation or being eliminated by the sect for other reasons, they just need to use the platform of Qingxuanzong to grow wantonly.
According to Meng Zhou's understanding, the other disciples of Qingxuanzong were just employees and courtiers.
The biggest difference between the name and the inner door is that the former is a small official who is not in the stream, while the latter is a temple member who can participate in national affairs.
And the true legend is the real mantle heir, the successor, the prince.
"I don't know what to call you?" The owner of the letter asked.
"Meng Zhuang." Meng Zhou replied.
Before entering Qinglinfang, Meng Zhou made new adjustments to his figure, appearance, temperament, etc., not only distinguishing himself from the previous master, but also cutting clean from "Pharmacist Zhou", and he was a complete newcomer.
Since entering Qinglinfang, he has also been active in this capacity.
"Daoyou should have come to Qinglinfang recently, right?"
"Well, yes."
"I don't know where you come from? The old body has also had a lot of contact with surrounding forces, and we may have some leading edges in the past. ”
"It's a casual ...... down there."
The two exchanged a few words with one question and one answer, and the owner of the letter seemed to feel Meng Zhou's discomfort, and said directly:
"It is gratifying and admirable that Daoists can complete the foundation building as a casual cultivator.
But I think that Daoyou also have some confusion about the future ahead, although the old body is not a casual cultivator, but how difficult it is for casual cultivation to go all the way to the foundation building, and the old body also has some understanding. ”
Meng Zhou's face showed a conscientious expression, coupled with his old face that was over fifty years old and weathered, it was extremely convincing.
The owner of Hexin Mansion flipped his palm, and there was an extra token in his hand, and she handed it to Meng Zhou.
"Daoyou can build a foundation for me and Xinlou and go further on the road of the avenue, this is our fate.
You accept this token, and if you are willing to continue to cooperate with Hexinlou in the future, we will make it as convenient as possible for you. ”
Well, it's a loyalty card. Meng Zhou thought in his heart, but there was still a look of surprise on his face, and he put the token in the storage bag.
After Meng Zhou said goodbye, he was about to turn around and leave.
The owner of the Hexin Mansion suddenly said:
"Oh, by the way, Meng Daoyou, you should also know that during this time, there are many monks who have successfully built a foundation in our building, and there are not many Taoist friends in a situation like you.
I think there should be a lot of questions between you to communicate.
I took the center and prepared to gather everyone together on the ninth day of the third month to communicate with Xinlou.
If you have time, you might as well come and have a look.
I know that casual cultivators are used to hiding clumsiness, but this opportunity is really rare! ”
Speaking of which, the owner of the Hexin Building threw out a fragrant bait.
"At that time, I will also lead a few Qingxuan Sect members to participate in the discussion, and everyone will learn from each other.
If there are Taoist friends who perform extraordinary, if they have real talent and real learning, Qingxuanzong will give them a precious opportunity! ”
"A precious opportunity? What chances? ”
"We'll give them a chance to enter the Scripture Building." The owner of the Hexin Building said softly.
Meng Zhou, who originally didn't take it too seriously, was shocked in his heart, and he didn't hide it, his eyes suddenly brightened, as if they were about to glow.
"Let's go to the Qingxuan Sect Scripture Building to choose exercises?"
"Hmm!"
The owner of Hexin Building bowed his head, but emphasized: "Only those who perform extremely well in the exchange meeting can get this opportunity!" ”
After that, she explained a little: "For those geniuses who have been buried due to their casual cultivation status, Qingxuanzong is not hesitant to give them a chance to take off!" ”
Meng Zhou nodded, but continued to ask: "There are always some restrictions, right?" ”
The owner of the letter nodded.
"The monks who are allowed to enter the scripture building can only stay for a day at most, and they can only move on the first and second floors.
If there is a selected exercise, you must make an oath to the Taoist heart, promising that you can only practice it yourself, and it is strictly forbidden to pass it on to others, let alone sell it for profit. ”
Meng Zhou blinked, as if he couldn't believe that there would be such a good thing, and confirmed: "That's it? Can the exercises be taken away? ”
The owner of the letter building nodded: "That's it!" ”
Meng Zhou said: "There will always be a limit to the number, right?" ”
"Of course, you can only choose one, this is only one chance!" The owner of the Hexin Mansion stared at him, and said with some disbelief: "Didn't I make it clear just now?" ”
"Uh......"
It is true that people say "a chance" at the beginning, but his understanding is obviously the most beautiful kind.
The refugees have entered the rice barn, and I don't take a basket to load it!
Now, of course, he knows that this is what he thinks too beautifully.
The local tyrant was kind and wanted to give some porridge and grain.
Meng Zhou felt that this field should be praised!
Meng Zhou made up his mind that for this opportunity, he could unlock some "seals" a little and show some talent.
A monk who can grow all the way from casual cultivation to foundation building cannot be mediocre in the first place.
No matter how bright the performance is, it is reasonable to say, and it will not make people feel abrupt.
If everything is too mediocre for a foundation building and casual cultivation, it will be strange!
Thinking like this, Meng Zhou's mind turned, and suddenly he thought of a possibility, and asked curiously:
"Landlord, although I am a little presumptuous, I want to ask you a question!"
"You ask." The main road of the letter building.
"Does Qingxuanzong want to choose some guest ministers among our scattered cultivators?"
Meng Zhou knew that Qingxuanzong had a tradition of absorbing guests.
If Qing Xuanzong was fighting this idea, Meng Zhou felt that this should be considered more carefully.
He didn't want to be too deeply bound to Qingxuanzong because of a Qingxuanzong scripture building.
"Ahem......"
Just when Meng Zhou was thinking crankily with this concern, he heard Hao Zhen, the true descendant of Qingxuan, who had been silent and listened to the conversation between the two with a cup of tea, seemed to be choked and coughed twice.
Meng Zhou glanced at it suspiciously, and the owner of the letter building had already shook his head and said:
"The news of Daoyou is outdated, and we did absorb a lot of guests in the early days.
Since ten years ago, we have stopped absorbing the guests of the foundation realm. ”
Compared with the disciples he cultivated, Keqing couldn't get rid of the label of half an outsider no matter what.
In the early days, Qingxuanzong was founded, the organizational structure was not perfect, and it was necessary to develop a huge third-order spiritual vein, which required a large amount of immediate combat power.
But as Qingxuanzong's own talent echelon caught up, the special group of Keqing naturally slowly "withered" with the passage of time.
Meng Zhou was thoughtful in his heart, and after the other party revealed, he could also understand the truth, but he still couldn't fully believe it.
Next to him, Hao Zhen put down the teacup and said to Meng Zhou: "Meng Daoyou, you still seem to have doubts?" ”
Facing him, Meng Zhou was very honest.
"I'm sorry, I just don't think this pie-in-the-sky thing is a bit unreal."
Hao Zhen nodded and said:
"The foundation that came out of the casual cultivation seems to have similar ideas to you.
When he saw that something good was about to fall on his head, his first reaction was not to be happy, but to take two steps back, full of suspicion and vigilance. ”
"......" Meng Zhou thought that the other party summed it up correctly.
"I want to say that we, the Qingxuan Sect, as the lord of the Qingxuan Domain, have a simple idea of supporting the genius monks who were born in the Domain, but failed to develop their abilities because they had no background backing, you probably think that I am singing a high note.
In that case, I'll say something you can understand! ”
Hao Zhen's expression was a little playful and sincere.
"Jade Lake Immortal City Plan, you know, right?"
"yes, I know." Meng Zhou nodded.
"By the middle of this year, the third-order large array will be arranged, and at that time, the issue of personnel stationing will be considered."
"It's a project that we've developed in collaboration with a lot of guys, but so far, a lot of people haven't turned the corner.
They simply understood the future immortal city as a third-order dojo that could be used by them.
It seems that as long as they are involved in this project, they can arrange for people to go in and practice at will. ”
Meng Zhou was puzzled: "Isn't it possible?" ”
Hao Zhen pointed to the room he was in and said:
"If this and Xinlou are an industry run by the three of us together, I think these spirit fruits are delicious today, so I will pack two baskets and go back.
Tomorrow, I think this can of spiritual tea is good, and I will bring two cans back.
What do you think? ”
Meng Zhou shook his head: "No, this is not the attitude of making a living." ”
Hao Zhen nodded and said, "That's it." ”
Meng Zhou's face showed a look of doubt, Prince, what does this have to do with me?
"So, we have strict and clear entry conditions.
Anyone who can't meet the requirements can't enter casually!
On the other hand, even if it is a casual practice, we welcome it! ”
Meng Zhou's heart suddenly felt that he had been hit by a boomerang.
A boomerang that had passed in front of him a long time ago, and after a circle in the distance, struck himself from an angle he hadn't expected at all.
……
Out of Hexin Building, Meng Zhou stood on the street in the central area, looked left and right, and for a while, he didn't know whether to go to the left or the right next.
At this moment, in the teahouse diagonally opposite, it was the teahouse where Meng Zhouguan built the foundation and vision, and two people ran out of it almost at the same time.
Run briskly towards him.
Meng Zhou fixed his eyes, isn't this the Chen shopkeeper of Ruyiju and the Lu shopkeeper of Xiangming Building.
Seeing them standing in front of him, Meng Zhou wondered, "What are you doing here?" Looking for me? ”
"Congratulations to Senior Meng for his success, the road is in sight!"
The two congratulated Meng Zhou almost in no particular order.
Meng Zhou accepted their congratulations with a smile, but asked curiously: "You are waiting here just to wish me success in building the foundation?" ”
Ruyiju Chen's shopkeeper hurried next to Xiangminglou Lu and said:
"My predecessors have been cultivating in my house for several months, and today I have finally built a foundation, how can I not celebrate such an important thing?"
Meng Zhou said: "You mean, Zhuji Xiaoqing? ”
Shopkeeper Chen nodded hurriedly: "Yes, after decades of penance, such an important day can't just pass silently, right?!" ”
Meng Zhou was a little moved, but soon shook his head in his heart.
Although, after the cultivator has built the foundation, he will indeed have a celebration or something.
Especially those immortal cultivation families, the momentum is so big.
I can't wait for everyone in the world to know that our family has a new foundation.
is a casual practice, in order to take the opportunity to promote his "foundation debut" and expand and improve his network, he will also do a small one.
That means it's like taking a small loudspeaker and shouting out, "There's a new foundation here, I hope you can take me to play more." ”
However, Meng Zhou felt that this did not seem to be necessary for him.
Other scattered foundation building, decades of experience, weekdays do not show the mountains and water, really at this time, can always climb with some foundation building monks.
It is indeed necessary to take this opportunity to make contact and take the opportunity to integrate into the circle of the Tsukiji monks.
But I am different, from passing through to now, it has only been less than a year in total.
Moreover, because his cultivation speed is exaggerated, it is shocking to the world, not only does the practice location change from time to time, but the commonly used vest has also changed three.
If it is said that the communication between cultivators and cultivators will produce cause and effect lines, Meng Zhou feels that looking at the entire cultivation world, there are few cause and effect lines that are less than his own.
And he's still purging it from time to time.
How meaningful is it for him to hold such a celebration?
Perhaps, it won't be long before this "Mengzhuang" will disappear now.
Of course, in addition to these reasons, there is another reason, trouble.
Case......
Meng Zhou was about to refuse, but Shopkeeper Chen hurriedly said:
"I know that my predecessors are worried, don't worry, as long as you nod, you don't need to bother a little, everything will be handled by me!"
"Isn't that a problem for you?" Meng Zhoudao.
"No trouble, no trouble, you are willing to hand this matter over to me Ruyiju to do, that is to look up to us, how can it be trouble?!"
Meng Zhou understands that this is actually the sponsor's idea, and what the other party wants to earn is this name.
Everyone is an old acquaintance, and he is not worried about the other party cheating him.
But thinking of the concerns in his heart, Meng Zhou still shook his head:
"The current Qinglinfang, it is really not uncommon to build a foundation, but I don't even know a fellow Taoist...... It's not appropriate. ”
If there is not even a supportive Zhuji, just a few shopkeepers are busy there, this will really be self-entertainment.
Obedient and listening, the shopkeeper of Xiangminglou Lu, who had not dared to interject next to him, hurriedly said:
"Senior Meng, there are two seniors who want to make friends with you, if you can have a small celebration in Xiangming Building, they will definitely come to the meeting."
Meng Zhou thought of what the other party said before, there were two guests who had drunk tea in Xiangming House and also built the foundation some time ago, and one of them was still a regular customer.
Meng Zhou nodded: "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you!" ”
The reason why Meng Zhou agreed so simply was because he thought of the casual cultivation exchange meeting revealed by the owner of the letter.
If there are no accidents, the two should have received the invitation.
He wanted to get in touch with them in advance, to find out, and in his mind, they would have the same needs.
The shopkeeper of Xiangming Lou didn't know that there were so many twists and turns in his heart, and he was overjoyed.
"Okay, I'll arrange it!"
As soon as the sentence was finished, the person had already slipped away.
Looking at his state, you can know how much he cares about this matter, of course, maybe it's just because he's afraid of being beaten by another shopkeeper next to him.
Ruyi Juchen shopkeeper: "#¥%@&"
Meng turned his head and said to the resentful shopkeeper Chen:
"I'm considering that the Xiangminglou is larger, there are too many guest rooms in Ruyiju, and the largest place is the canteen, you can't let me do a foundation building in the Ruyiju canteen, right?"
You don't want any cards at all?!
The little daughter-in-law of the shopkeeper Chen generally pursed her mouth and said, "Don't dare." ”
Meng Zhou thought to himself that a person with high emotional intelligence would never snub a heart that wants to be upside down.
Moreover, people with high emotional intelligence also know that taking the initiative to ask someone for a small favor to make them feel valued and needed is a high-level skill that pleases people.
"Well, there's something I want to bother you about."
Shopkeeper Chen hurriedly said: "You say! ”
"I'm now in Zhuji, and Ruyiju is no longer suitable for me.
I was wondering where to find a new place to live, but I didn't know much about the hostels in the area that offered second-order spiritual lands.
You are an old man in the workshop and an insider, you should be more familiar with these than me, you recommend two suitable ones to me. ”
"#¥%@&" Shopkeeper Chen said in his heart, today, I shouldn't come.
"Okay!"
Shopkeeper Chen was indeed an insider, and led Meng Zhou out of the central area at all, into an alley, and in front of a small courtyard.
This small courtyard looked very ordinary, but Meng Zhou knew that it was not ordinary at all.
"Bang Bang Bang-"
Shopkeeper Chen knocked on the door.
"Squeak-squeak-"
With the sound of light footsteps, the courtyard door opened a little, revealing a little girl with a double bun on her head.
Her small body was still in the yard, so a big head poked out, looked at the two of them curiously with big eyes, and asked in a milky voice, "Who are you looking for?" ”
Shopkeeper Chen asked, "Is there anyone using your second-order spiritual land now?" ”
The little girl was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly asked, "Do you want to use my family's second-order spiritual land?" ”
Shopkeeper Chen nodded.
The little girl stuck in the crack of the door retracted her head with a swish, the courtyard door was completely opened, she jumped out of the room in one step, looked up at the shopkeeper Chen, and then looked at Meng Zhou on the side, and asked, "Who of you will live?" ”
Meng Zhou said: "Me! ”
The little girl's big eyes looked at Meng Zhou: "Are you Zhuji?" ”
"It's like a fake!"
"You go inside and wait!"
With that, the little girl ran away, leaving behind an empty yard and two strange men standing at the door.
Meng Zhou looked at Shopkeeper Chen and asked curiously, "What is the situation?" ”
Before, Shopkeeper Chen took him into the alley, instead of going to those high-end retreat places, and he didn't ask a word.
Since he chose to let Shopkeeper Chen recommend it instead of looking for it himself, then he would believe his choice.
But the current situation is really a bit strange, and the curiosity in his heart can no longer be suppressed.
Shopkeeper Chen said: "The original owner of this courtyard is the grandfather of this little girl, the first batch of outsiders in Qinglinfang, and he is also a very capable person.
This second-order spiritual land had always been in his use, but a few years ago, he had fallen outside for some reason. ”
Meng Zhou listened, was silent for a moment, and asked, "There won't be any trouble, right?" All I need is a quiet place to practice, and it doesn't matter if the price is higher, I just can't have trouble! ”
Shopkeeper Chen hurriedly said: "Don't worry, if you have trouble, I will recommend it to you?" ”
"The reason why her grandfather fell was related to helping Qingxuanzong do a mission.
Because of this matter, Qingxuanzong not only gave a lot of pensions, but also instructed He Xinlou to make some convenience for his descendants.
The little girl's father, the most successful of her grandfather's many children, is now working in Hexinlou.
And this little girl's sister, because she found out that she had a good talent, was directly escorted to become an outer disciple.
As far as I know, her sister has now met the criteria for entering the inner gate, and will be promoted to the inner gate after the next assessment.
However, her father had also thrown a lot of resources into it, and now he had the opportunity to use this idle second-order spiritual land to make extra money, so why not?
What's the trouble with that, you say? ”
After listening to the introduction of the shopkeeper Chen, Meng Zhou also had to admit that there would really be no trouble.
Seeing that he was silent, Shopkeeper Chen said:
"The other Zhuji seniors have the same thoughts as you, and they don't know much about the situation of her family, so they are afraid of trouble, so no one has cared about them.
But because of this, you only need to give three or four percent of the price of other spiritual lands of the same quality at most, and you can live in it. ”
Meng Zhou nodded. At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps in the alley in the distance, approaching quickly.
"Who am I, Chen Gang, when did you kid climb the friendship of the predecessors of the foundation building?!"
When Meng Zhou heard this, he looked at the shopkeeper Chen, and said in his heart, good boy, I asked you to help me find a spiritual land, and you found an acquaintance by yourself.
Fertilizer doesn't flow into outsiders' fields, right?
However, it seems that the voice is a little familiar!
At this moment, the figure coming from the alley in the distance also saw Meng Zhou, and Meng Zhou also saw each other.
Meng Zhou was surprised and surprised, and said with a smile: "So this is your home?" We're really destined! ”
Deacon Zhang, who had just served tea and water to Meng Zhou not long ago, was also surprised to see Meng Zhou standing in front of the steps.
But he still hurriedly stepped forward and asked respectfully, "Senior Meng, do you want to use my family's second-order spiritual land?" ”
Meng Zhou nodded.
Deacon Zhang immediately said that he could be appreciated by Meng's predecessors, and said that the spirit stone would be born, so he lived here, and he wanted to live as long as he wanted, this is to give me a parent's face!
Of course, it was impossible for Meng Zhou to agree, and in the end, under the coordination of the shopkeeper Chen, it was negotiated at the price of 30% of the normal spiritual land.
Meng Zhou paid three medium-grade spirit stones to the other party on the spot, and paid the rent for the next month.
Because on weekdays, Deacon Zhang has to work in Hexin Building, and when he goes out early and returns late, most of the time, there is only one little girl at home.
This courtyard is equivalent to his Meng Zhou's, although the courtyard is not big, it is far more comfortable than a quiet room, equivalent to a small cave mansion.
Meng Zhou was also very satisfied with this.
personally sent away the shopkeeper Chen, and before parting, Meng Zhou also gave the other party a medium-grade spirit stone as a reward for the other party's run.
Shopkeeper Chen resolutely refused to accept it, and Meng Zhou said lightly: "This is my rule!" ”
Shopkeeper Chen immediately didn't dare to be strong again, and honestly accepted the spirit stone.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to say sincerely: "Senior Meng, if you have any needs in the future, just let me know, and promise to be on call!" ”
Meng Zhou smiled and nodded.
After returning to Zhang's courtyard, Meng Zhou walked around the courtyard under the leadership of Zhang Wei.
The area of the second-order spiritual land is not small, not only has a quiet room with the second-order formation arranged, but also a small study and waiting room.
The furnishings inside are very simple, and they are also very clean, and you can move in at any time.
There is also a small empty courtyard around, planted with some simple flowers and plants.
After turning around on the spot, Meng Zhou was very satisfied.
Soon, Zhang Wei led the little girl who had been jumping in front of and behind the two of them to leave.
Meng Zhou also entered the room, neither choosing to cultivate nor pondering anything else, but entered the meditation room, and directly lay down on the white jade couch in the meditation room, and soon fell asleep soundly.
From the beginning of the retreat in the ashram of the Hexin Building, even the most leisurely and relaxing ten days, his heart was still hanging.
This is especially true after the official rush to build the foundation, and the consumption of mental energy is real.
Now, I can finally let go of everything and finally rest in peace.
Meng Zhou chose the most primitive and simple method.
When he woke up and walked out of the room.
I saw a little girl squatting there in a corner of the courtyard and didn't know what she was playing, and when she saw him come out, she turned her head and looked at it curiously. Because of her father's entrustment, she now has to play at a distance and can't be disturbed.
Meng Zhou beckoned, and the little girl ran over in a hurry.
After some inquiry, Meng Zhou was surprised to know that today was the third day of the fourth lunar month.
"I've been sleeping for three days in a row!"
Meng Zhou muttered to himself in his heart, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly walked out of the small courtyard.
After a while, Meng Zhou appeared in front of the Xiangming Building.
Seeing Meng Zhou, Shopkeeper Lu strode up to greet him.
"Senpai!"
"How's it going?"
Shopkeeper Lu said: "I have already prepared, and I have already invited the two seniors, and now I am waiting for you to choose an auspicious day!" ”
"In that case, let's do it tomorrow!"
"Okay!"
Shopkeeper Lu answered, thought about it, and said:
"Seniors, there are many regular customers who know that you are going to celebrate in Xiangming Building, and they all want to come to see your style.
Do you think I'm going to let them in tomorrow? ”
Meng Zhou nodded in agreement, everyone used to be a companion who listened to the news in a room, although most of them were nodding friends, now people are willing to come to join in the fun, so come.
I originally wanted to update the 10,000 words, but I really couldn't catch up, and I accompanied my wife to do a pregnancy test today, which delayed too much time.
Let's talk about the update plan after that, first make sure that the daily update is more than 10,000 words, and first get two badges, one is to update that one for ten consecutive days, and then one for one month in a row.
Hey, today's 9,000 words, I have to start all over again, it's a pity
