Xu Wangqian took leave from Yunshang on the grounds of retreat and promotion on the second day of the peak management team's entry into Hantan, and now he has been in retreat at home for more than a month, in addition to meditating and refining qi in the Dan room every day, he is conditioning the green crane in the backyard.

He built a total of thirteen houses around Hantan, most of which were located on the opposite shore across the pool from the Warm Cloud Pavilion. Among them, there are nine mansions adjacent to each other, and Xu Wangqian was originally planning to move the elite of the family here.

Xu Wangqian belongs to a monk from a poor family, and there are not many monks in the family, although over the years, because of his funding, many good seedlings with good spiritual roots have emerged. The problem is that since he changed his surname, Xu Wangqian has obviously lost a lot of interest in things in the family. It's no wonder that he is related to the bloodline, not from the same vein, and no matter how busy he is, he has the feeling of making a wedding dress for others.

But Mrs. Xu, after marrying into his family, took her mother's family up the mountain one after another, and arranged them all around Hantan. Most of the thirteen mansions under Xu Wangzhen's name were occupied by Mrs. Xu's mother's family.

Mrs. Xu's background is similar to that of Xu Wangzhen, and she is also from a small family, and it is already a major event for the Glory Sect to have a monk enter the Seven Great Sects as an outer disciple of this kind of portal. Marrying an elder of the sect like Mrs. Xu can be regarded as a step up to the sky.

Mrs. Xu's maiden name is Cui, and her maiden name is Lan Qing, which cannot be compared with Wu Shiyong's wife. was called Lin Lanqing at first, and later changed to Xu Lanqing, because she had a lot of quarrels with Xu Wangqian, for fear of being ridiculed at home.

Xu Wangqian scoffed at her worries and sneered: "Your family is a person who has attained the Tao, and the chicken dog has ascended to heaven." Chickens and dogs can't become people even if they go to the sky, which jokes about you, slaughter it!"

Xu Lanqing smacked him and said, "As soon as you touch my family, you will shout and shout to kill, the Lin family laughs at you less, and I haven't seen you slaughter which?"

Xu Wangqian and Xu Lanqing have always been willing to bow down, but he has always been very persistent in the matter of where he lives. Perhaps out of consideration for cherishing feathers, Xu Wangqian did not go beyond the mansion of Hantan like Wu Shiyong or Geng Yun, but also found a place with good aura in Huaci Peak to enclose land and build a mansion.

Even though the scale of Hantan's mansion is relatively small, Xu Wangqian himself has always lived in the mansion assigned to him by Yunshang Ancestor at the beginning. Speaking of which, Yunshang was also helpless at the beginning, Geng Yun and Wu Shiyong had already taken advantage of the opportunity to build the Nuanyun Pavilion and built a mansion around the Hantan in a muffled voice, saying that they wanted to practice next to the ancestor so that they could hear the ancestor's teachings from time to time.

Only this Xu forgot to start, and he didn't dare to start, and finally Xu Lanqing was forced to find Yunsheng and ask the ancestor to approve him for a piece of land near Hantan to build a house.

The problem is that the first house built by Xu Wangqian, whether it is the location or the architectural decoration, is hasty, Xu Lanqing has not been very satisfied, under her strategy, the Xu family has built twelve houses around Hantan, especially the one where the nine houses are connected, and the scale is even more magnificent.

It is said that it is a nine houses, but in fact, it is simply connected to each other to form a whole courtyard. Externally, it is said that it is nine houses, first, Yunshang has long established rules, and the houses around Hantan cannot exceed three entrances. Second, according to the regulations of the Wu Dynasty, only the royal family could build a large palace that exceeded Jiujin.

There are rules, there are countermeasures, many wealthy people often break up the strategy, a large area of homesteads, divided into a number of small houses, and then through the garden pool, pavilion rockery, all kinds of design, cleverly connect these houses.

Xu Wangqian did not live in the Xu Mansion, which was composed of nine houses, and insisted on nesting in the original small courtyard. Xu Lanqing had no choice but to take him, so she simply moved to the mansion of the Ninth Courtyard alone, and recruited all the three aunts and six aunts of her mother's family into the house by the way, talking and having fun every day, and living a very leisurely life.

However, since the peak management team entered Hantan, Xu Wangqian ordered Xu Lanqing to move back to the small house. Although Xu Lanqing was reluctant in her heart, she couldn't resist Xu Wangqian in the end. At the beginning, Xu Wangqian's words about the ascension of the chicken dog to heaven were not said to her.

The only thing Xu Lanqing can't rest assured about is that the nine mansions are connected, if no one is in charge, what if the peak management team takes advantage of it?

"It's all a good thing you did!" Xu Wangqian said angrily rarely: "The houses around Hantan, the Geng family occupies more than 30 houses, the Wu family has replaced the Geng family's more than 10 houses, and there are also more than 30 houses, plus the Song family is more than 100 houses. The three of them occupy most of the houses in Hantan, but they are inconspicuous and do not show water, only our family, and make a nine houses connected! This is good, the rafters at the beginning are rotten first, and our nine houses are connected together, which is bigger than the ancestor's Nuanyun Pavilion, I really don't know what you think?"

Xu Lanqing was scolded by him for a while, her face turned blue and white for a while, but she couldn't refute it, so she could only pester: "I didn't see what you said when I built the house, what's the use of putting this afterthought now?"

Xu Wangqian glared and said, "Didn't you take advantage of me to go to Tieling Peak to ask for scriptures and build these nine mansions privately?"

Xu Lanqing was speechless when asked, so she could only pout and mumble: "The matter has come to this, what's the use of you blindly complaining about me? Our nine mansions have been connected, and it is difficult to demolish them." We have already made the rafters, and sooner or later we will be found by that barbarian, you and I are not in the Nine Mansions, what's the use of hiding here?"

"Woman's opinion!" Xu Wangqian sneered: "If that Yin Barbarian really wants to come to the door, what is the use of you and I even if we sit in the Nine Mansions? Now he is no longer the Qi refining disciple who was kneaded by others when he first went up the mountain. Lao Geng, they are hoping that we will have a fight with that Yin barbarian first, and they can't wait for us to fight with that Yin barbarian, and it is best to alarm the ancestor to intervene, so they follow their thoughts. ”

Xu Lanqing said disdainfully: "I really don't know where you are afraid of him? Yin Manzi is just stained with the light of the Ancestor Ding Furnace, he has been building the foundation for less than half a year, you are a monk who has touched the threshold of the middle stage of foundation building, if he really does it, he can still hurt you? Although he has the support of the Ancestor behind him, he took the initiative to come to the door to make trouble, and he is also at a loss. ”

Xu Wangqian shook his head and said: "You don't believe those rumors outside, the ancestor's Dao method is refined, and it has nothing to do with that Yin barbarian." The combat power of that Yin Barbarian was by no means as unbearable as others imagined. Have you ever heard that he was just building the foundation and was knocked down by a bird when he was in the back mountain?"

Xu Lanqing snorted: "What's new about this?

"Laughing and talking?!" Xu Wangqian said with a straight face: "When I was in Tieling Peak, I once read a miscellaneous book dedicated to recording wild and strange things, which contained various records mentioning that the Zhuji Monk Imperial Sword was injured by demon birds in flight. If I remember correctly, it specifically mentions that the Bird of Horror is extremely fast, and even if the monk Edgeworth in the middle of the foundation is unfortunately hit by it, it will be a situation of nine deaths. That barbarian was injured by the frightened bird, but within a few days, he was swaggering through the market!"
