Xiuxian Baiyi System, I know everything
Chapter 1: Blocking the door to collect rent
"Open the door, open the door quickly!"
A rapid knock on the door sounded outside a very dilapidated wooden house.
Standing outside the wooden house were two monks wearing yellow robes and looking evil.
Seeing that there was no movement in the room, the younger monk among them had a bad temper. He had already raised one foot and was about to kick him out.
The older middle-aged monk was more stable, grabbed him, and whispered to him:
"Don't act recklessly. The city has regulations. These wooden houses rented to monks are jointly owned by the Liu family, the Tiangang Sect and our casual cultivator alliance. They must not be destroyed except under special circumstances.
You and I are just a member of the city patrol team, and we are only here today to inform the residents here that it is time to pay rent.
We don't dare to break the rules and destroy the wooden house, otherwise if it gets damaged by kicking, we will have to use spiritual stones to repair it.
Don't think that the shimmering shields outside these wooden houses have much defensive power. In fact, they are just for bluffing people.
In fact, this shield is of little use except to prevent outsiders from using their spiritual consciousness to spy on the situation in the house.
The reason why each wooden house is installed with this is just to give the monks living inside a little more privacy and security. "
Looking at the old monk standing beside him chatting, the young monk put away his unruly attitude and asked with a smile:
"Then what should I do if I live with you?"
The old man in front of him was not only higher in cultivation than him, but he had also been working in the patrol team longer than him.
The friend who first introduced him to the patrol team specifically told him to learn more and not be impulsive when encountering problems.
Because it was his first time to carry out the task of urging rent, and since he became a member of the patrol team, every casual cultivator who looked at him had eyes full of awe, and as time went by, he gradually became more and more arrogant.
The old man looked at the young man whose attitude suddenly changed. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled and stroked his beard and said:
"You are quite a malleable boy!"
After praising him, he patted his storage bag, took out a thick account book from it, and then quickly flipped through it, muttering in his mouth as he flipped through it:
"Zi District, it's wrong! Ug District, it's still wrong...Si District, it's right now. Let me take a look. The number of this wooden house is '301', and the registered lessee is Liu Changsheng.
The last time I paid my rent was in March last year, I paid one year's rent at once.
Now in mid-February, if the rent is not paid for another half month, the wooden house will be forcibly taken back and the people living in the house will be kicked out. "
After reading aloud, he took out a piece of white paper from his storage bag, dipped it in ink, and swiped it on the spot.
I wrote down all the content I just read, and then used the Object Control Technique to stick it flatly on the door.
Finally, the two of them looked at each other and struck out with both palms, leaving a mark unique to the patrol on the blank space of the white paper.
When the two of them didn't leave, there was no sound in this small alley. After they sensed that they were gone, there were many sounds of opening doors.
"Creak!" the voice sounded frequently.
Among the houses located on both sides of the alley, many people had their heads exposed.
First, they looked at the two patrol members who were walking away, and then set their sights on the wooden house with the notice. When they saw that there was no movement, these people couldn't help but communicate with each other.
"Well, it's true that this fellow Daoist Liu has a hard life. He originally lived a good life alone. He also had the skill of making talismans and his cultivation level was not bad. If he continues to practice step by step, it is not impossible to reach the ninth level of Qi refining.
But who would have imagined that suddenly ten years ago, I picked up a wild boy as my apprentice, and now I am fine, even my life is on the line for him! "
The first person to speak was the monk who lived across the street from '301'. He looked more than seventy years old, but the hair on his head was as black and bright as any young man.
"Who says it's not the case? Since he accepted this apprentice, he has been reluctant to eat and use it. He saved a few spiritual stones and used them all to train his apprentice.
But I didn't expect that this boy's cultivation aptitude and talisman-making aptitude were extremely poor.
In ten years, his cultivation has not been able to break through the bottleneck of the middle stage of Qi refining. Even with the simplest cleaning charm, his success rate is less than 10%. He is a waste! "
The second person to speak was the female nun who lived on the left side of "301". This person had a slender eyebrow and triangular eyes. When she spoke, her eyes kept moving around. At first glance, she was not an economical person.
"That's so right. I persuaded him at that time to get rid of that stupid boy and accept my son as his apprentice.
But he refused to agree, and told me that his apprentice was a genius and would definitely achieve great success in the future. Don't you think this is crazy? "
This man lives in the wooden house to the left of '301' and seems to still be aggrieved because Liu Changsheng did not accept his son as his disciple.
"Okay, just say a few words. If you have some spare time, think about what to do with your own rent first? Friends Liu Dao, it's their own decision to decide who to pay or not to pay. What's wrong with you?"
Besides, Liu Daoyou has been taking care of his apprentice since he was attacked three months ago until he woke up.
Then he went to the mountains to collect the elixirs needed by the alchemist to refine the elixirs. He has not returned yet. You have all received his help. Is it inappropriate to say these sarcastic words now? "
The last one who spoke uprightly lived on the right side of "301". She was a young woman with a very delicate appearance and a pair of peach blossom eyes that attracted people's attention.
"Hey, isn't this Fellow Daoist Bai? I know you have a good relationship with Fellow Daoist Liu, so I can understand you speaking for him.
But when the two patrolmen came just now, weren't you hiding in the house like us? Why are you lecturing us now that they are gone?
If you really care about Fellow Daoist Liu and his disciple, then since Fellow Daoist Liu left three months ago, you haven't visited him once to take care of him. How can you have the nerve to blame us now?"
The triangular-eyed female cultivator retorted. Among the residents nearby, the young woman who spoke just now was the one she despised the most. Others didn't know the details, but she knew it clearly.
This person specializes in cheating and deceiving for a living, and the main targets of deception are all kinds of single male cultivators with rich wealth.
So when she heard her hypocritically speaking for Liu Changsheng here, and her words even meant to belittle them, she was angry at the time and retorted directly.
The crowd who had originally half-closed the door, seeing that there was something exciting to watch, pushed the door open and came out, watching the two female cultivators start a quarrel.
Room 301, where the notice was posted, seemed to be quiet on the surface, but the monks inside heard every word of these words.
