8. Look for Lingtian outside
Yuan Meng smiled coldly: "Nangong Yu, what you said seems to be a big conspiracy, but in fact, you are just an unsuccessful low-level disciple, do you think it is worth someone's trouble?"
"Okay, Senior Sister Yuan, this is the fifth doubt I want to say. You see, the of an insignificant outer disciple, but when I arrived, you came. ”
Yuan Menghan's nose was crooked: "Nangong Yu, what do you mean?"
"Haha, haha!" Nangong Yu laughed, looked around, and then hugged his fists at Xu Jiaxian: "Senior Brother Xu, I guess you can't solve these doubts for me for a while." As I said, Xu Xiaobo is my brother, and I can't do it here and watch my brother suffer, so I dare to take him back to Yifeng Hall today. Please let Senior Brother Xu be fulfilled. As for the final result, it was confirmed that the matter was indeed done by Xu Xiaobo, and Senior Brother Xu rushed to me Nangong Yu to ask for someone!"
The childish young man said these words categorically, Xu Jiaxian, Fang Ying and the others couldn't refute it, Yuan Menghan's lips moved, and he didn't know how to speak.
Xu Jiaxian coughed lightly and said, "Okay, Xu Xiaobo will be temporarily placed in Yifeng Hall." ”
"Thank you, Senior Brother Xu. Nangong Yu walked over slowly to untie the rattan rope that bound Xu Xiaobo, helped him stand still, looked at Xu Jiaxian again, and said, "Senior Brother Xu, please find out a few suspicious points as soon as possible, and give an explanation to Senior Brother." Otherwise, Nangong Yu's reputation for harboring thieves is not good. Moreover, Senior Brother Xu himself is not at ease, is he?"
Xu Jiaxian nodded and didn't say anything, but Fang Ying and Zeng Yuntao couldn't help but change their faces. Nangong Yu's last sentence undoubtedly pointed out that there were other thieves in Qingpu Garden.
Each apostle in Yifeng Hall has his own unique courtyard, and the courtyards of Pang Qingyun, Wu Di and others are all inhabited by more than a dozen people, most of whom are family members or relatives and friends. Nangong Yu has one more residence, and Xu Xiaobo naturally no one said anything. It's just that Nangong Yu's actions for Xu Xiaobo in Qingpu Garden quickly spread in the Cangming faction, and no one blamed him, and most of the pressure of public opinion was pressed on Qingpu Garden.
Yuan Menghan has not made any noise about this since that day. On the third day, Xu Xiaobo's external injuries had not yet healed, and Fang Ying and Zeng Yuntao escorted Tan Liang and Wang Zhe to visit Yifeng Hall.
The thief in Qingpu Park is Tan Liang, Wang Zhe was jealous that Xu Xiaobo was selected as a registered disciple of Elder Xu, and colluded with Yang Jin, Tan Liang and others to frame Xu Xiaobo.
Qingpuyuan found out that Nangong Yu believed half of the things at most, but he couldn't go deeper, and he didn't even want to pay attention to how Wang Zhe, Tan Liang and others would be disposed of. He knew in his heart that framing Xu Xiaobo might be the last person he wanted to deal with Nangong Yu, but Xu Xiaobo himself didn't know about it.
Because of this, Xu Xiaobo Nangong Yu will not return to Qingpu Garden. No matter what, the cultivation conditions of the Yifeng Hall are more than a little better than those of the outer gate.
"What, the rent is thirty top-grade Yuan Crystals a year?"
"Is there something wrong?Dantang and the disciples with planting certificates rent a unit of Lingtian The rent is twenty top-grade Yuan Crystals, are you one of these two?" The steward surnamed Lingtian Xiao of the Miscellaneous Servant Hall pointed to the guide Gongyu badge, and did not give half of the face because of his status as an apostle, even if this Nangong apostle was a little famous at the moment.
"Steward Xiao, I don't rent the Spirit Field for planting the Pill Spirit Grass or the Spirit Valley Spirit Fruit, you can pick a relatively barren piece of land for me, do you see the rent?" Nangong Yu's right palm was released, and the two non-attribute high-grade Yuan Crystals fell onto the small table and pushed them in front of Steward Xiao on the opposite side. According to Pang Qingyun, this Xiao Pingfu is the elder brother of the seventh concubine, the first master of the Yuan family, Yuan Qijing's favorite concubine, who is in charge of the inner mountain Lingtian, and has always been arrogant and domineering, and he is even more accurate to the disciples of the Pang family. In addition, Nangong Yu's good apostle status is going to plant what kind of spiritual field, this time none of the five senior brothers accompanied him, which is embarrassing.
Xiao Pingfu didn't look at Yuan Jing, and said coldly: "Thirty high-grade Yuanjing one Lingtian is already the lowest, where can I find you a more barren one? You are too expensive, there are many Lingtian in Lincang Town, and five high-grade Yuanjing is enough for you to rent one acre." ”
Nangong Yu finally put away Yuan Jing and left, he couldn't afford to offend this Xiao Pingfu, Yuan Qijing was the master of the Yimeng Hall, or the second master of the Cangming faction, second only to the old sect master Sikong Hao.
In the afternoon, Nangong Yu came to the Lincang Town Employment Market to look for the farmer who was called the master.
Nettle can only be found in a few mountains such as Chengyun Peak and Sanlian Peak in the inner mountain, Nangong Yu once handed over more than a dozen seeds to a farmer in Lincang Town for trial planting, and promised to pay ten medium-grade yuan crystals, that is, a high-grade yuan crystal, but the farmer carefully cooked for half a month and did not see germination, and when he opened it for a few days, the nettle seeds were rotten.
The planting was not successful, Nangong Yu still gave the farmer three medium-grade Yuan Crystals for his hard work, and the farmer saw his righteousness and told him that there was a farming expert named Kuangshi in the labor office, and he had helped the disciples of Neishan Danyao solve problems several times.
Nangong Yu's letter to find the help of the situation master has long been placed in the employment office of Lincang Town, but he has not seen the situation master himself.
Guan Ji, the manager of the employment office, has the name of a miscellaneous disciple of the Uchiyama, but he is actually a low-level monk with mediocre qualifications who is released by the Uchiyama to take charge of some affairs in Lincang Town and rarely returns to the Uchiyama to cultivate. Seeing Nangong Yu coming in, Guan Ji hurriedly greeted Shi Li, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Nangong, it just so happened that Senior Brother Nangong's sister happened to come today, and I have already shown her Senior Brother's letter." At this time, she is talking to a client in the private room, why don't you call her over?"
Nangong Yu knew that what Guan Ji said was just kind words, and said, "Don't dare to trouble Senior Brother Guan, there is a first come and first come in everything, I'll wait for nothing." ”
Guan Ji sent Nangong Yu into a separate private room and brewed a good pot of spiritual tea. This newly promoted Yifeng Hall disciple's cultivation is a small realm worse than him Guan Ji, but the status of an apostle is not many grades higher than him, Guan Ji is envious and jealous in his heart, and he does not dare to offend half a point on the surface.
Nangong Yu waited for only two tea times, and Guan Ji led a girl to push the door in. The girl is fifteen or sixteen years old, and she has a good figure and face, but her face is burnt yellow, and there are more than a dozen light black pockmarks on the left side of her face, which looks quite ugly.
Nangong Yu saw that the girl was also a cultivator, and her cultivation should be higher than him. There are many ways for monks to remove freckles and beautify their faces, this girl's ugly appearance is not caused by the exercises or there is no hidden secret, but Nangong Yu has no time to pay attention to these, after Guan Ji went out, he and the girl introduced each other, directly took out a small bag of nettle seeds and put it on the coffee table, and asked: "Fellow Daoist, I asked Brother Ling to ask him to help me plant this nettle, Fellow Daoist will take a look first, if necessary, I can go with you to see Brother Ling." "Although nettle is not a spirit grass, it is not easy for Nangong Yu to collect some seeds, and there is not much to waste in experiments, so it is the key to confirm whether it can be planted first, if Lincang Town can't grow it, he has to think of a way from the inner mountain.
Guo Yan picked up the bag, grabbed a few seeds, smelled them, and put them back, the bag was still on the table, and asked, "How many are you going to plant?"
"You mean you can plant?"
"Yes. "It's simple and straightforward.
"I only have three small bags of such seeds, how much area do you think I can plant?"
"Three points of Lingtian. Guo Yan was a little disappointed in her words, as if she thought that this business was a bit small. Shortly after the beginning of spring, it is a good time to sow seeds, and at this time, there are no customers who have placed orders.
Nangong Yu said: "I only have so many seeds at present, and I can harvest a large number of seeds if I plant them, and if my situation is opened, I will plant a large area, the more the better." "The so-called opening of the situation is that cigars can get out of sales.
"Cheng, I took it. The reward is three points of Lingtian's nine top-grade Yuan Crystals, and there must be six ice attributes. Pay in three installments, three in advance, three when the seedlings emerge, three when harvested, and no less than two high-grade ice attribute yuan crystals in the prepaid part. If you agree, we'll make a deal. Of course, the rent of Lingtian is borne by you. ”
Nangong Yu was speechless, "Fellow Daoist, don't you think this reward is a bit expensive?" Nine top-grade Yuan Crystals are almost half a year's benefit for an inner disciple, not to mention the need for six ice attributes.
"No two prices. Guo Yan couldn't see any expression on her face, and then she explained, "Although this nettle is not a spirit grass, it also needs vitality energy to grow, and using secret methods to promote its germination also consumes vitality energy. Of course, if you plant more than two acres of spiritual land in the future, I will give you a six-fold discount on the reward. ”
"I'm not rich now, can I get a discount on this three-point field first?"
"No, you can't. "Guo Yan is very simple. As she spoke, she pushed the pouch back to Nangong Yu, showing that she would not do this business if she bargained.
"Well, that's it. Nangong Yu felt very defeated, in his previous life, he had several rounds of negotiations to ask Yunxun to raise the purchase price from one billion to four billion, and he had no room for bargaining several times in this life, Chaos, Xiao Pingfu, and Guo Yan. "But I don't have an ice attribute top-grade Yuan Crystal on hand. ”
"What kind of attributes do you have?"
"Water attribute and fire attribute. ”
Guo Yan said: "There happens to be a shop in Tilanqiao that needs a high-grade Yuan Jing with fire attributes, so I'll accompany you on a trip." ”
Tilanqiao Nangong Yuzhen has never been there, I heard that it is the only place where the Cangming Sect has contact with monks from the outside world, and it is also the only place in Lincang Town where only high-grade Yuan Crystal circulates, Nangong Yu has long been willing to go and see, but Pang Qingyun said that it is not safe for him to go there alone.
"Tilanqiao, I heard that it's a bit chaotic there, and low-level monks can't mess around. ”
"What's so insecure? This is the home of the Cangming faction, you have the brand of the apostle of the Yifeng Hall, and no one will be idle to deal with you if you don't take the initiative to offend people. ”
Nangong Yu thought about it, so he followed Guo Yan over. The two crossed the river from the only stone bridge of the Landong River, the widest in Lincang Town, and walked less than two miles away to Tilanqiao Street.
The narrow streets are lined with more than 100 stone houses. There is very little movement on the street, and it is very quiet.
Guo Yan led directly into a shop called Jingyuehao, half of the entrance hall with a width of three zhang and a depth of two zhang is the reception desk, there is only one old man in it, and the other half is a chair and a coffee table, and two middle-aged men are sitting on the chair.
The three of them should all be monks, and they only looked up at the two small bunks, and their bodies did not move or ask questions.
Guo Yan approached the reception desk and said, "Grandpa Feng, I'm looking for Sister Yi." ”
The old man looked at Nangong Yu and said, "Go ahead." ”
