Chapter 11: A piece of shared rent (for collection)
Just see the cramped room.
This sense of accomplishment disappeared without a trace.
Life is so barren.
What is there to be proud of!
took a deep breath.
He walks to the stall.
Meditate, make talismans...began a fulfilling and boring life every day.
Because of the dual-line spiritual root of gold and wood, it has been promoted to the middle grade.
In addition to talisman making, double cultivation, and suppression of toxicity, he has to spare some extra time to meditate and practice. The time that was not rich in the first place suddenly became tight.
So Shen Ping moved the exercise during the lunch break to the evening, which led to every time after the fish and water fun, he could only rest for half a cup of tea and had to continue.
"After getting rid of the toxicity in the body, you can save an hour and a half every day."
Shen Ping gritted his teeth and persisted.
In fact, if he gave up the rest after midnight, he would still have plenty of time, but considering the mental state of his wife and concubines, he still put away such thoughts.
Fishing while thirsty will destroy the ecological environment.
The days passed like this.
His talismanic experience and metal-wood dual-line spiritual roots have been slowly improving.
The alley near the Hongshi River has not had any accidents since the death of Jiexiu, and everyone\'s life has gradually returned to normal.
Mid-June.
A large flying boat of the Jinyang Sect hovered over the edge of Fang City, and a large number of monks filed out from above.
At the beginning, Shen Ping came to Yunshan Swamp in such a flying boat.
20 years of land reclamation.
This area has been gradually controlled by the Jinyang Sect. Almost every five or ten years, several groups of monks will be transported from the main sect.
Of course, more than 80% of those who come to Yunshan Swamp are monks like Shen Ping with ordinary qualifications and no hope of building a foundation. The remaining 20% are ambitious and want to break out of the world, and some come here to seek opportunities or establish cultivation families. .
The next afternoon.
While Shen Ping was making talismans in the compartment, he heard the sound of strong spiritual power outside.
"I am the deacon of Jinyangzong!"
"Everyone who stays in the house comes out to show their heads!"
Swipe.
Rows of houses in Hongliu Lane opened one after another.
Shen Ping also walked out of the house, and his eyes fell on the deacon of the outer sect of Jinyangzong who was not far away, followed by a group of patrolling monks. Anyone who can serve as a guard in the square city needs to practice Qi at least seven levels, and The combat power is good.
A moment.
After the deacon of Jinyangzong came out, he said, "From today, the annual rental fee of Hongliu Lane will increase to 50 low-grade spirit stones. If there is a shortage, go to Fangshi Deacon Hall to make up for it. You have already paid the rent for several years in advance. Yes, it will be deducted according to the current price increase in the future.”
"The deadline is half a month."
"It\'s overtime."
Finished speaking.
Deacon Jin Yangzong led the patrols to the next alley while making room rounds.
After they left.
Yu Yan suddenly complained, "It\'s too cruel, it has increased so much all of a sudden, Hongliu Lane is not next to the main road, and you want half a middle-grade spirit stone, and let people live!"
The monks not far away also echoed.
"Yeah, the increase has more than doubled, and it\'s almost catching up with the alleys near the main road."
"The days to come will be even more difficult!"
"Well, it will happen sooner or later. A large flame gold vein was found in the Yunshan Swamp. If the news spreads, more monks will definitely come to hear the news. In other areas, a mine vein can support tens of thousands of monks!"
"The batch of monks yesterday was just the beginning, and there will be more and more in the future."
Listen to the arguments.
Shen Ping frowned into a Sichuan character.
If it was more than a year ago, he would have moved immediately without saying a word. How could he afford fifty low-grade spirit stones a year, but now this fee can be earned with only four amulets, but even so he feels worry.
Because there are more monks in Houfang City.
And when there are too many monks, chaos will inevitably arise.
Hongliu Lane belongs to the periphery of Fangshi.
The rent price has risen to 50, and Jin Yangzong will not increase the patrols to guard the place.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, do you want to pay the rent together?"
At this time.
The next door, Yu Yan, invited her out loud.
Shen Ping regained his senses and nodded quickly. Every time he went out was a life-and-death test for him. With Yu Yan, a fifth-level Qi training female practitioner, his sense of security soared.
He immediately went back to the house and talked to his wife and concubine, then closed the door and followed Yu Yan to Fangshi. During the period, other monks also joined the team after seeing this.
Before reaching the main road, the team increased to twenty or thirty monks.
There are also many teams in other alleys like them, all going to pay the rental fee.
It is rare to pay rent for several years at one time.
After all, no one knows when one will die.
Take the main road.
Everyone\'s face relaxed a lot, and some chatted with each other.
When we arrived at Fangshi Deacon Hall, there were many monks, forming a long queue.
Shen Ping and the others can only be ranked behind.
After waiting for more than an hour, it was their turn in the evening.
Originally, he thought about going to Xiuchun Pavilion to sell the talismans in the storage bag and buy some materials by the way, but in this case, he directly dismissed the idea.
Pay the rental fee.
Returning to Hongliu Lane, the team dispersed and went back to their houses.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, after all, Hongliu Lane is on the outskirts, without the safety of Fangshi, should you consider renting together in Fangshi?"
Shen Ping was about to go back to the house when Yu Yan spoke.
He was taken aback.
Looking at Yu Yan\'s pretty face and rather plump body.
Subconscious thoughts flashed in my mind.
But soon he laughed dryly, "Fellow Daoist Yu, it\'s really inconvenient for me to have a wife and concubine to support, and the house prices in the city may also rise a lot."
Finished speaking.
quickly opened the door.
A disdainful voice immediately came from my ear, "I really have no guts, my mother is not happy to let you sleep in vain."
Close the door.
Shen Ping heaved a sigh of relief.
Being a widow alone is just too scary.
How dare he provoke him.
But it seems that fellow Taoist Yu proposed to share rent in Fangshi. It seems that he has some savings, so maybe Jiexiu was really killed by her.
"Husband, the rental price of Hongliu Lane has risen, why don\'t we move to Niishui Lane next year, where the price is very low."
while eating.
Bai Yuying suggested thoughtfully.
Wang Yun also echoed, "Yes husband, you are working hard all day long, sister Yuying and I really can\'t bear it, we don\'t care if our lives are poorer, as long as we can be accompanied by husband, we will be satisfied."
Shen Ping held his wife\'s and concubine\'s wrists, and said gently, "Don\'t worry, my husband is a middle-grade talisman master, and Hongliu Lane can still afford it. Yinger, you can\'t fall behind in your daily practice. If you don\'t have a spirit stone, just tell your husband .”
Ningshui Lane is already the fringe area of Fangshi, where almost all low-level Qi training monks are chaotic all the year round, and murders and money-grabbing things happen every day.
If he moved there, he might be able to protect his wives and concubines with talisman seals, but he would also attract covetousness. He might be surrounded and killed by a group of monks when he went out to sell talisman seals one day.
After meals.
Shen Ping took out the communication talisman, poured spiritual power into it and activated it and asked, "Master Chen, what is the rental price of houses in Fangshi today?"
