The east side of Chang'an City is mostly populated by poor people. At night in Alley 47, not a single house in the entire block lights up, making it look even darker, like a giant beast with its mouth wide open.
Fortunately, the three people present were all poor people from Weicheng, and two of them were woodcutters looking for horse thieves. They would definitely not be afraid of alleys.
Poor people have nothing to fear except lack of money.
Under the leadership of Wang Yue, Sangsang and Ning Que turned into Lin 47 Lane with some fear.
As the light became weaker and weaker, Ning Que began to wonder whether Wang Yue was planning to trick him and Sangsang.
Just when he was thinking wildly, Wang Yue entered the door of a shop not far from the street entrance, took out a key from his hand, and opened the door that was not very spacious.
Ning Que breathed a sigh of relief, and he quickly pulled Sangsang in with him. However, he waited for a long time, but did not wait for Wang Yue to light the lamp. Fortunately, Sangsang was already prepared and opened the fire certificate he carried with him.
Relying on this weak light, Sangsang found the location of the candle, and quickly stepped forward to light the candle.
After the room became bright, Ning Que realized that everything in the shop was complete, and he asked Sang without politeness. Sang gave the beaker a cup of tea and drank it. He sat down on a chair like an old man, and then asked curiously, "Brother Wang, how much did you spend to buy this shop? How much is the rent?" Wang Yue
said He had long been accustomed to Ning Que's lazy look when he was in Weicheng. He also sat down next to him, and then explained, "The rent is free, and the subletting money is even less. Now in this neighborhood, as long as someone buys it, it will be sold immediately." Someone is transferring it."
After hearing this, Ning Que immediately sensed something fishy, and he asked curiously, "Why is it so cheap? This is Chang'an City, it's just a latrine, but it's worth a lot of money!"
Wang Yue saw that Ning Que was worried about him. Just as he was about to explain, Sangsang ran out of the kitchen after hearing the noise. She said excitedly, "Master, why don't we also find a shop? We can buy your words!”
Ning Que saw that Sang Sang was obsessed with money, and said dissatisfiedly, "You don't want to die? This is Kyoto, there must be a reason why it is so cheap!" Sang Sang was not convinced, and said as if iron cannot become steel
. , "Is life and money important? We have also asked about it. It costs money to go to the academy. We only have so little money. If you are admitted to the academy, how many months can you study?" After hearing what Sangsang
said , Ning Que immediately became discouraged. Yes, the money he earned from chopping firewood could not live on for a few days, so how could he have time to please the masters of the academy and help him clear his meridians?
Ning Que immediately bowed to reality after imagining these things. He looked at Wang Yue and asked with a wry smile, "Brother Wang, if we rent, can the rent be exempted?" Wang Yue looked at Ning Que with a dodge in his eyes
. , you can understand what this guy is thinking. Isn't it because he is at the entrance of the alley? Even if someone wanted to deal with them, they would deal with him first, so Ning Que would have time to deal with it.
However, since he agreed to live here with Chao Xiaoshu, this was inevitable, so he didn't care much about it. He just said with a half-smile, "Have you thought about it?" Ning Tiao nodded, very seriously
. Said, "How about I go ask about renting a house now? Brother Wang has met the landlord and can help us tell us about the rent exemption?" Wang Yue did not refuse. This is also a matter
of a piece of cake. As for whether Chao Xiaoshu agrees or not , that is Ning Que’s own business.
So, he still said with certainty, "No problem, as long as we meet, I will definitely mention it."
Sangsang and Ning Que looked at each other, and they could no longer sit still, and hurriedly went out together and walked into the alley. go out.
Not long after, the two of them came back together and told Wang Yue that they had rented a shop at the end of the alley and got a roomful of pens, inks, paper and inkstones at a bargain price. They didn't need to buy any goods in a short time.
The two of them were so happy that they quickly took their luggage and left. They stopped staying at Wang Yue's place at night, leaving Wang Yue speechless.
Fortunately, Sang Sang had already lit the fire to make tea for Ning Que. Wang Yue was able to drink a cup of hot water and make a pot of hot tea.
...
Early the next morning, Wang Yue was planning to call Ning Que and the others to visit the academy. However, it turned out that Sang Sang had planned it last night and wanted to organize the Shubi Studio today. They really wanted to It's time to do business.
Wang Yue didn't want to do this, so he decisively closed the door and prepared to go out to do errands.
But when he locked the door and went out, he saw Chao Xiaoshu coming with a fierce man with a knife. Thinking of Ning Que's instructions, he smiled and said hello and asked, "You two come to have tea? That's no coincidence. I'm not open today."
Chao Xiaoshu didn't care and said with a smile, "I just came out to look around. I heard that someone rented a shop last night. I wanted to see who else is so rich. Courage."
When Wang Yue heard what Chao Xiaoshu said, he quickly explained, "Oh, that's my friend who came to Kyoto from Weicheng with me. He heard that rent is free here, so he came here specially. Boss, how about that? , you also exempted him?"
Chao Xiaoshu laughed when he heard Wang Yue's words, but he did not agree. After all, they have so many gang members, and every income must be taxed.
However, considering the current troubles, it was not impossible for him to consider it. He smiled and said, "I'll go take a look first. Brother Wang, you'd better go ahead and do your work first." When he said this, he bowed to Wang Yuegong
. He cupped his hands, and then walked towards the book studio with the man holding the knife.
Wang Yue had already finished speaking, so he turned around and walked out of the alley, asking around as he walked. There were some seemingly unrelated shop names everywhere, which made Wang Yue feel that a certain time traveler had probably been here. This world has created so many things.
However, he did not pay attention to these for the time being, and soon came to the military office. The person in charge of household registration of the military read the letter Wang Yue brought and found that this former pawn was now a practitioner, so he was determined to retain Wang Yue.
So, he said in confusion, "Wang Yue, if you are willing to stay in the military department, I can arrange for you to qualify for the next academy examination."
Wang Yue was speechless, next time? Didn't he become Ning Que's disciple? He couldn't afford to lose this person, so he shook his head and said firmly, "I want to practice well, but I am still a Tang Dynasty person. If the Tang Dynasty needs it, , I can re-enlist at any time."
Seeing that Wang Yue had made up his mind, the supervisor went through the procedures for Wang Yue to transfer from military household to civilian household. When he heard about Wang Yue's address, he just looked at it in surprise. He glanced at Wang Yue but said nothing.
Looking at the expression of the principal, Wang Yue knew that the situation on Forty-seventh Street was very complicated, but he was not afraid of anything. At worst, it would not be a problem to go back in time to the time when he did not rent a house.
Therefore, he easily walked out of the yamen and walked towards the academy outside the city. He originally thought that like most universities nowadays, he could enter at any time, but after he walked over, he found a In fact, the academy may be like Tsinghua University and Beihua, and not everyone can enter.
Wang Yue was very depressed. After all, if he couldn't enter the academy and couldn't see the people in the academy, how could he enter the academy? He had to think of a way.
He didn't stay here longer. As he walked back, he thought about what he could do to see the Master.
Unknowingly, Wang Yue returned to Lin 47 Lane. He opened the door of the tea shop, returned to the house, and continued to cultivate a relationship with the sword that the princess gave him. Ah, it was nourished by the vitality of heaven and earth.
However, when Wang Yue nourished himself with the vitality of heaven and earth, he unconsciously used the sword control method in the fairy sword. Although he did not dare to use Dantian to practice in order not to be exposed, he knew how to use it as early as Qing Yunian. The Qi in the Qi Sea and Snow Mountains was filled with energy, so it was easy for him to use the same method to mobilize the heaven and earth energy in his body's Qi Sea and Snow Mountains to nourish the sword that had been tempered by the swordsmith.
The difference from the fairy sword is that as the vitality of heaven and earth is nourished, the sword and the scabbard become smaller and smaller, and the impurities in it are naturally discarded, leaving only some that can react with the vitality of heaven and earth. Metal essence.
And as Wang Yue used Shushan's secret technique to nourish the sword with the vitality of heaven and earth, the connection between this sword and Wang Yue became deeper and deeper, allowing the sword to change in size at will in his hand, very freely. flight.
If Master Lu were here, he would probably be able to find a problem through exploration. Wang Yue has now entered the realm of cave mystery.
Wang Yue was immersed in this kind of practice, and time passed slowly. Unknowingly, time passed one day and one night, and it was not until the next morning that he was awakened by a knock on the door.
He subconsciously opened his eyes and saw the sword in his hand. He didn't know when it had become as big as a hairpin. This was the first time he had made a sword so small. It was simply amazing.
The secret technique of Shushan became more mysterious when used in this world. He suddenly felt that he no longer had to be overly obsessed with Dantian cultivation. It seemed good to mobilize the true energy through the sea of qi and snowy mountains. It's just that he is used to it, and he still feels that it will be good for him to store more in his body.
With this thought, Wang Yue casually inserted the sword into his bun, then stood up and opened the store door.
Ning Que and Sang Sang were standing outside the door. After seeing Wang Yue, Ning Que asked with a smile, "Brother Wang, do you want to go shopping together today?"
Wang Yue shook his head, and then casually shook the flute in his hand. , and then said with a smile, "No, I thought of a way to play the flute next to the academy. I heard that Mr. Eight and Mr. Ten in the academy both like music. I am not prepared to attract them. Please help me introduce them. Master."
Ning Que knew that Wang Yue was not qualified for the academy examination, so this was indeed a solution, so he did not force it, and walked out with Sangsang, and said absentmindedly as he walked, "I wish you good luck!" Sangsang looked at it
. Ning Que also looked worried, and said hesitantly, "Master, why don't you go back to study. Chang'an City is right here. After you pass the exam, it won't be too late for us to go shopping!" Ning Que shook his head
. Shaking his head, he sighed and said, "There is no rush for this day. Let's go shopping in Chang'an City first. Brother Wang already visited Chang'an City yesterday, but we haven't visited it yet!"
Sangsang pouted and said dissatisfiedly, "Yesterday the landlord just said that one year's rent would be waived. You will not be open for business today. In the words of Brother Wang, even the donkeys in Lamo dare not be as lazy as you." !"
When Ning Que heard what Sangsang said, he was very dissatisfied and said, "Are you the young master or I am the young master? How dare you talk to the young master like this? How courageous!" The two of them soon chased and beat each other away
. , leaving only Wang Yue and the empty alley.
