Chapter 84 Settling Down
With the help of Mu Qingyun, Guan Xiaoshan easily returned to his "original" enrollment.
Lingjie Education attaches great importance to the cultivation of Reiki. It does not pay much attention to cultural inheritance. There is no special cultural enlightenment school. Ordinary people who can't study in the practice school are not much different from illiterates. They can only learn some words and skills through word of mouth. Therefore, a very important function of the practice school is to educate students. Without the teacher's explanation, the new monks not only do not know the basic knowledge of human body structure, spiritual geography and power system, but also can't even understand terms such as gods and meridians.
Of course, the enlightenment education in the practice school is only for junior monks who have just entered the school. Once they reach a certain level and have a sufficient understanding of practice, the teacher's role will be much smaller. They only use the experience of experienced people to guide and point out in difficult times. This is the case with the real martial arts masters of the Zhenwu Research Institute. Most of the time is spent on self-study, and only at critical moments before and after advancement, they will find tutors for advice. As tutors, there are not only senior true warriors under the jurisdiction of the leader's government, but also guardian generals of the great god of Linchen Pavilion who want to receive more worship. The lowest level of cultivation is the intermediate real martial artist, and the highest level is only a real person.
Guan Xiaoshan worships the educational enlightenment of the human world. He has a strong understanding ability. He can read books and study by himself in the library, and has advanced to a real person. There is really no need to consult a "tutor" who is lower than himself. Therefore, after returning to his "original" school, he didn't care about his studies and followed his own ideas.
The first thing to do after admission is to apply for qualifications at the leadership office.
Once the monk has advanced to the level of real martial arts, the file will be transferred from Fengtian Mansion to the Commander's Mansion, so as to coordinate the scheduling when something happens. As an "middle-level true martial artist", Guan Xiaoshan naturally needs to be filed. He also hopes that he can have such a file so that he can be recruited into the expedition when he has something to do. Fighting for merit in the war against evil spirits is an important way for him to attract Yun Chuxi's attention.
When he went to the commander's office for the record, Guan Xiaoshan was still a little nervous. Mushan and Mu Qingyun were both acquaintances, and they were not separated for a year and a half like Li Qing. Mushan saw him once outside the wild boar forest half a year ago. He didn't know whether his modification could be concealed. For this reason, he imitated the appearance of the Shui family, tied his loose hair on the top of his head and put it in a bun, scraped his slightly scattered thick eyebrows, trimming them into straight sword eyebrows, and pulled the golden bell cover as a lining. The cuffs and neckline turned out the boss out, and carefully decorated them before he went to the leader's office with Li Qing.
It turns out that his behavior is completely a "besiderateful" reaction. The name "Guan Xiaoshan" may have been forgotten by Kunlun people, and no one will associate it in this regard. When Mu Shan and Mu Qingyun saw him, they not only did not have any doubts, but also had extraordinary enthusiasm, and the intention of showing goodwill was extremely obvious.
Guan Xiaoshan was surprised at first, and later realized the key to realize the key: the father and son wanted to marry Li Qing. Although his "Lu Xiu" and Li Qing are friends of "child sweethearts", they can't enter Li Qing's eyes because of their ugly appearance, low family background and low cultivation level. They can only become a subordinate. The god general can't be a candidate for a double-cultivation partner, and it can't threaten Mu Qingyun. Therefore, the father and son love Wu and Wu, and they are very relieved to regard themselves as their "future daughter-in-law" - and their own - cronies.
"Definitely! Definitely! The sling, please come back - I remember, but if you encounter difficulties in the future, you must come to the sling to be the master..."
Guan Xiaoshan was grateful, thanked Mushan and his son for their kindness, and went out of the leadership office with Li Qing.
Li Qing smiled like flowers. She didn't expect that "Brother A Xiu" was so broad-minded and so old-fashioned that people would not feel embarrassed in the cracks at all. Happy, she couldn't help inviting: "Brother Xiu - it's still early. Let's go outside the city and find a quiet hillside to sit down and talk. "
Guan Xiaoshan replied with regret, "Oh, I'm afraid this won't work. I have something to do today. I want to rent a house first."
Renting a house? What do you mean?" Li Qing was quite puzzled.
Guan Xiaoshan said, "To rent a house is to rent a house. Haven't you heard of it? No way, unless there is no rental industry in Kunlun City.
Li Qing shook his head and replied affirmatively, "There is really no rental industry in Kunlun City. No one can understand what you say. Brother Xiu, what's the matter with renting a house? Is this Onozawa's industry?
"Onozawa does have a rental industry."
Guan Xiaoshan first found a history of the human word "renting a house", and then compiled: "Onozawa has a lot of businessmen and adventurers come and go every year. Some of them need to stay for a period of time because they are waiting for partners or temporary rest and other reasons. These people don't live for a long time, and they don't change to build a house or buy a house. So he asked the locals for accommodation and sent a certain amount of crystals as compensation. The free room can be exchanged for crystals. The locals are so happy and generally agree. This is renting. Why - is there no one to rent a house in Kunlun City?"
"No! Brother Xiu, Kunlun City is different from Onozawa. There are all locals here. If there is crystal, they will naturally buy a house and build a house. If there is no crystal, they will go to the surrounding farms and farms to work. The people around them want to earn crystals when they enter the city. They all live in their employer's house. How can they be willing to spend crystals to rent a house? Usually, there are no foreign adventurers. Even merchants come here once a year and a half. After that, they are received by Fengtianfu, and there is no need to rent a house. Therefore, the rental you mentioned is very fresh in Kunlun City..."
After knowing what renting a house is, Li Qing analyzed in detail the reason why there is no house rental industry in Kunlun City. In the end, she seemed to think of something and said excitedly, "However, as long as you are willing to spend crystals, you can definitely rent it. Brother Xiu - After renting the house, you must give me a key, and I will come to accompany you when I have nothing to do.
"Ah?! How can this work--"
Guan Xiaoshan was shocked. He has a dormitory in Zhenwu Institute, and the accommodation fee is included in the tuition fee, which has been paid. The main reason why I have to spend money on renting a house is mainly to settle the red spirit and Zhi Duoxing.
Zhenwu Research Institute not only has a dormitory, but also a spiritual pet storage place, which is specially designed to take care of spiritual pets for senior monks. However, there is no pet storage place. The two small things, Chi Lingxin and Zhi Duoxing, appear as pets and cannot be sent to the spiritual pet storage place. Of course, even if the staff of the spiritual pet storage is willing to help take care of it, the two little things will not leave Guan Xiaoshan. In particular, Chi Lingxin has become a habit of grinding with Guan Xiaoshan's ears and temples for more than a year, and she is no longer willing to separate. Guan Xiaoshan originally wanted her to stay outside Kunlun City, so she went to help collect Lingjing when she had nothing to do. She did not agree, and she had to follow Kunlun City desperately.
Guan Xiaoshan is worried that there will be flaws if he doesn't pay attention to living in the dormitory with two little things. He has no choice but to rent a house outside. At the same time, he hopes to have a situational environment where cultivation will not be disturbed; he doesn't want to fall in love with Li Qing.
Li Qing did not expect that his request would be rejected by Guan Xiaoshan without hesitation. His face turned pale and his eyes were different, full of doubts and fear.
Seeing this, Guan Xiaoshan simply raised his face and said earnestly, "Li Qing, I heard that the stage of the pre-god mage is the most important. If you don't pay attention to it, you may completely lose the opportunity to become a god. At this time, you should not be distracted by me. You should concentrate on cultivation. Only when you become a god will the life last for a long time..."
Guan Xiaoshan said very sincerely, showing a strong kindness; Li Qing listened in his ears, and his heart was warm; his expression turned to joy, but he said, "Brother Xiu, don't worry, I dare not delay my practice, and I will naturally be careful. It's just that your key must be given to others. No matter how tight the practice is, they always have to go home.
Guan Xiaoshan was speechless for a while. The house he rented had not been settled, and someone had already regarded it as a home. Although he was extremely dissatisfied, he could not refuse again. In desperation, he had no choice but to nod and say, "Okay - I'll give it to you, but you have to pay attention to it yourself and seize the time to practice. Don't always run over."
While talking, the two came to the workshop area in the north of the city. Guan Xiaoshan looked around and was a little familiar. He recognized that he had found a job in this area when he entered Kunlun City for the first time. He remembered that there was a smelting workshop here. The owner was a kind-looking old man and chatted with him. In my impression, the smelting workshop doesn't have much work and doesn't hire too many apprentices. The backyard is quite large, and there should be free rooms.
Thinking of this, Guan Xiaoshan looked for it along the street with his impression.
His memory is really right. He only walked through two or three shops and saw the kind-looking old man sitting outside the shop with his eyes open and sleepy. It seemed that there was no work to do, and there was no trace of a craftsman in the shop.
"Grandpa!"
Guan Xiaoshan took Li Qing over and shouted.
The old craftsman opened his eyes when he heard the sound. His eyes turned slightly on Guan Xiaoshan's ferocious face and the armor made by Lingjin. He stood up in shock and said without falling, "Oh - it's the god general. What's the matter with the old man? The old man can only make ordinary objects here, and can't process spiritual gold..."
"Grandpa. I'm a monk from the Zhenwu Training Institute, and I'm not a divine general yet. I didn't come here to process utensils, but I had something else to discuss with my uncle..."
Guan Xiaoshan smiled and slowed down his tone to make himself as tame as possible. That's it, old man. I have a dormitory at the Zhenwu Research Institute, and there are only two pets - Nuo! It's these two little things - there is no place to store them. I'm afraid that leaving them in school will affect other people's practice; so, I want to find a place to put them. Uncle, I think the back of your shop is quite wide. I don't know if there is any extra room. If so, I would like to borrow a room to place these two small things, so I am willing to give you a crystal every month as compensation. Uncle, do you think it's okay?
"That's it..."
The old man has never experienced this kind of thing. For a moment, he couldn't figure out what the gains and losses were, so he hesitated.
Seeing this, Li Qing came up with a smile and persuaded him, "Your Majesty, Brother Xiu will stay for a long time. It may take seven or eight years. Although a crystal is nothing, it is not a small amount to accumulate in seven or eight years."
"Oh? Will there be seven or eight years?"
The old man was a little moved. In a blink of an eye, he saw Guan Xiaoshan nodding and admitting, and then said cheerfully, "There are indeed free rooms, but they are very simple. There are no household items. They were used to be apprentices of craftsmen. If you don't mind, I'll lend you a room."
"As long as you can cover yourself!"
Guan Xiaoshan smiled, took out a crystal and handed it to the old man, and said, "Master, my name is Lu Xiu, and you will call me Xiu in the future. Where is the room? I want to put these two little things in and put them down now. In addition, uncle, I like these two little things the most. Maybe I will stay with them here when I have nothing to do in the future. I'm afraid it will cause you a lot of trouble..."
"Axiu, right? It's okay. If you want to stay here, just stay here. You're welcome." The old man took the crystal, waved his hand cheerfully, and took the two to the back of the shop to see the room.
The back of the smelting workshop is indeed very spacious. There are not only the small courtyard where the old man lives, but also a row of four tile houses for workers. Among them, there are two craftsmen living in the east, and the two rooms in the west are empty. Guan Xiaoshan chose the westernmost one, and try to be separated from the craftsman as much as possible so that it can be quieter when practicing.
The room is empty, and there is nothing but a straw mat. Guan Xiaoshan didn't care. He and Chi Lingxin and Zhi Duoxing were used to living in dark and wet narrow earth caves. Now it is naturally very satisfying to have a spacious and bright room. Li Qing was not satisfied, not only because the conditions were too simple, but also because the room was unlocked and could not fulfill her dream of mastering a key.
"I'll ask the old man to lock it." She said angrily.
Guan Xiaoshan stopped her. What kind of lock do you want? This is in the shop. Who is going to lock it? This kind of intention is too obvious. How can you deal with people for a long time? Besides, this place is for two little things. In the future, I will probably stay at the Zhenwu Research Institute. It doesn't matter whether you lock it or not."
He was really afraid that Li Qing would be the head of this place. He ran over for two or two days and quickly took this opportunity to confess.
Li Qing was also reasonable. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was not appropriate to lock the door and close the door in someone else's house, so he had no choice but to give up.
Guan Xiaoshan casually picked up the room and told Zhi Duoxing and Chi Lingxin to stay, so he went back to the dormitory of Zhenwu Research Institute and left the smelting workshop with Li Qing on his back. As soon as he arrived at a crowded place, Li Qing had more rules and always paid attention to keeping a distance from Guan Xiaoshan. When she came to the gate of Zhenwu Research Institute, she whispered, "I'll go to the smelting workshop to find you tomorrow night." I quickly went back to the Pre-Theological Seminary.
Guan Xiaoshan shook his head with a wry smile and walked around the Zhenwu Research Institute. He guessed that Li Qing had gone far away and walked out of the school gate to the city.
When he came to Fong City, Guan Xiaoshan went straight into Shengling Qianzhuang and looked at it quickly. He saw the third one on the left - that is, his monk's - behind the trading counter, a naive young clerk was on duty. He was overjoyed, so he took off the basket and walked over, handed over the new emblem and said: "Ex'd you, I want to open a Lingjing exchange account."
"Okay. Wait a minute--" The simple and honest young man agreed, took over the famous emblem and got busy.
Name, level, new account, transaction fingerprint extraction...
After a busy time, the simple and honest young man handed back the emblem and said, "It's okay. The account voucher has been entered into the name badge. Remember to bring the name badge when you exchange it in the future.
"I'm going to exchange it now..."
Guan Xiaoshan took out 9,000 crystals from the basket and threw them on the counter. He also took out 410 spiritual crystals with different attributes from his arms and handed them to the simple and honest young man, "Help me exchange these into fifty black crystals."
"Fifty black crystals?! So much! What's it for?" The simple and honest young man was shocked and looked at Guan Xiaoshan in confusion.
The spiritual crystal is used by the practitioners of the gods, but the practitioners take the risk of collecting them from the evil land. Therefore, there is a general rule in the exchange transaction of Shengling Qianzhuang, that is, the practitioners exchange the collected spiritual crystals for crystals in order to buy the elixir; the practitioners of the gods exchange the empty crystals that are absorbed by the aura for the different attributes of spiritual crystals to be used for absorption and practice. There are very few real warriors like Guan Xiaoshan who do not buy 9,000 crystals for cultivation but exchange them for spiritual crystals instead.
"I have made a little fortune during this period. There are a lot of crystals, and I won't be able to use them for a while..."
Guan Xiaoshan smiled mysteriously, took out a handful of crystal from his arms and shook it in front of the simple young man. I live in the dormitory of Zhenwu Institute. You know, there are many people and miscellaneous things there, and it is inconvenient to collect more valuable things. So - hehe, I want to replace the unusable crystals and spiritual crystals with black crystals, which is safe and convenient to carry with me.
The simple and honest young man suddenly realized and said enviously, "So that's it. Brother, you are so lucky. Other monks are worried about too few crystals and spiritual crystals. Only you are too much and worry that there is no place to put them.
Guan Xiaoshan smiled humbly and said, "Where's more? The monk's grades are piled up of crystals. In less than two years, brother, wait and see. At that time, I will definitely become a poor man again.
"Big brother is right. Cultivation is really unbearable for ordinary people." The simple and honest young man didn't say anything more. After the number was numbered, he exchanged 50 black crystals for Guan Xiaoshan.
After selling the armor of the red spirit heart, the crystals and crystals in Guan Xiaoshan's hands were almost converted into 700 crystals. Through the cultivation experience of the earth attribute star, he estimated that each attribute star needs to absorb more than 90 spiritual crystals. In the previous year, he had absorbed more than 40 black crystals, and another 50 black crystals must make the water attribute star bloom. Therefore, he exchanged 50 black crystals, and left 100 green crystals and 100 red crystals to prepare for receiving Come down and practice. At the current absorption rate, these two hundred and fifty spiritual crystals are enough to ensure eight months of cultivation. He plans to stay in Kunlun City for the past eight months and concentrate on his practice.
Carefully collect the fifty black crystals, Guan Xiaoshan came out of the Shengling Qianzhuang, and hurried to the residence of the smelting workshop. Because of the lack of black crystals, the practice was interrupted for a long time, so that he couldn't wait. In a hurry, he completely ignored the surrounding environment and didn't notice that a short man followed him to the smelting workshop.
The old man in the smelting workshop is surnamed Wang. Guan Xiaoshan said hello to Mr. Wang outside the shop and went into the backyard to practice. The short man strolled outside twice, then walked to the old man surnamed Wang and said in surprise, "Huh? Uncle - Is this Lu Xiu's home? Oh, I'm from Zhenwu Institute. I've met Lu Xiu once. It seems that I saw him go in just now..."
As soon as he heard that it was from the Zhenwu Research Institute, Old Wang did not dare to neglect it. He quickly replied, "No - A Xiu and our Wang family have no relatives. He just borrowed a house for my family. Oh, my lord - do you want to go in and see him? I'll take you in..."
"No, old man. I have something to do now. I'll come back later when I have time. The short man shook his head, said goodbye to the old man and left the smelting workshop. He followed the road to Fang City to Zhenwu Pavilion, entered through the side door, walked around the processing area for a while, and finally entered a simple hut.
There is already one person in the cabin, but he is the middle-aged clerk who recycles Guan Xiaoshan's armor in Zhenwu Pavilion. Seeing the short man coming in, the middle-aged clerk asked, "Why did that man offend your Yuyu family? Did you go out to kill him?"
"This man can't be killed, so he can only be captured alive."
As the short man said, he went to the grass collapse and sat down cross-legged. Then he sighed and said helplessly, "This man is very difficult to deal with. I can't take it alive alone. I need the caravan to come to help. Don't worry about it anymore. Be careful not to leak the news. When the caravan comes, I will give you ten black crystals as a reward.
"I know." The middle-aged clerk smiled with satisfaction.
