Gou marries a wife in the world of immortality

Chapter 23: Get it right (please read more)

During this period, the doors of every household were closed tightly, and no one dared to go out easily.

To the east, heart-shaking roaring sounds of fighting could be heard from time to time.

Qin Jiyue also stayed at home obediently, not daring to step out of the house, not even thinking of going out to collect intelligence information.

After all, the outside world is chaotic and complicated now, and any monk who is not one's own force will be considered an enemy.

In order to ensure their own safety, anyone will take the lead and would rather kill the wrong person than let go.

Li Guanxuan, on the other hand, was not that panicked. He ignored what was going on outside the window and ate on time every day and drew signs thoughtfully. His life was no different from before.

After about a month, the war finally ended.

According to what Li Guanxuan learned...

After Huanxi Mountain struggled to support itself for more than half a month, the ancestor, whose life span was running out, chose to sacrifice himself with blood to help the leader of Huanxi Mountain reach the peak of foundation building.

Even so, Huanxi Mountain could not withstand the invasion of the four major forces, and the leader finally broke out of the siege and fled the place.

Many elders and disciples who stayed behind either surrendered or died.

After a round of bloodbath and profit distribution, the area of ​​Huanxi Mountain was assigned to Luoyue Valley.

As for what the other three major forces got, Li Guanxuan didn't know.

"The destruction of Huanxi Mountain... No, it is not really destroyed. After all, the leader of the Peak Foundation Establishment has not yet died. After many years, maybe he will come back... Can this be considered thirty years of Hedong, thirty years When you are in Hexi, don’t bully the middle-aged and poor?”

Li Guanxuan fell into deep thought.

If they were thinking of escaping from the beginning, then both of them could leave together, why would they have to sacrifice themselves in the end?

Therefore, Li Guanxuan guessed that maybe the two of them had not found the Velvet Flower Spirit Tree and could not understand its secrets, so they left unwillingly.

The ancestor's life is coming to an end and there is no hope, but the middle-aged leader of Huanxi Mountain has a bright future.

Once the Velvet Flower Spirit Tree is recovered and its secrets are understood, there may be hope of resurrecting the ancestor...

This is Li Guanxuan's guess from the perspective of the two of them.

Of course, it's possible that this isn't the case.

No matter what the situation is, it doesn't matter to Li Guanxuan. As long as he stays at home, sooner or later he will be able to slap the threat of the leader of Huanxi Mountain to death.

After all, even if the other party does not fully know the secret of the Velvet Flower Spirit Tree, at least he knows a little bit about it.

When the other party reveals the secret, they will definitely start investigating...

Therefore, Li Guanxuan tried his best not to take action, and he didn't even bother to argue with others. If he lost some spiritual stones, he would lose some spiritual stones, and everything would be fine.

Today, someone just knocked on the door.

Qin Jiyue went to open the door and saw two middle-aged men in robes. She couldn't help but frown slightly and asked, "What's the matter?"

She recognized these two people. The other person was in charge of rent collection... a former outer disciple of Mount Huanxi.

Now he seems to be an outer disciple of Luoyue Valley.

One of them looked embarrassed and said, "Well, Mrs. Qin, it's like this. Luoyue Valley asked us to come over to collect rent..."

Qin Jiyue said displeasedly: "Didn't we just make it more than a month ago?"

"That's the rent paid to Huanxi Mountain, not Luoyue Valley."

The tone of the other person was not so good, and he said coldly and straightforwardly: "In order to find out whether there are any detailed works of Huanxi Mountain in Qing'an City, Luoyue Valley specially sent us to conduct a door-to-door investigation. As long as they are willing to pay Tenants who rent are then friends of Luoyue Valley, and vice versa..."

Hearing this, Qin Jiyue's face turned gloomy and ugly. This was obviously blackmail!

At this time, Li Guanxuan immediately walked over, took out a spiritual stone bag and handed it to the other party, smiling: "This is our rent for this year. As for the extra forty spiritual stones, it is considered as tea expenses for the two Taoist friends. Thanks for your hard work."

The middle-aged man with a simple and round face took the bag of spirit stones and sighed: "Master Li Fu, we also obey orders. Life is difficult for everyone nowadays. Just take back the extra spirit stones."

As he said that, the honest middle-aged man was about to hand back the forty spiritual stones. The man next to him saw his eyelids twitching and cursed in his heart that Lao Hong was a fool.

Li Guanxuan stretched out his hand to block it, and said with a helpless smile: "Fellow Daoist Hong, as you said, life is difficult for everyone nowadays. If you don't collect the tea fee, others will come to collect it, or even more. I just want to help Peace, just continue to live here.”

Fellow Daoist Hong was startled, then nodded with a wry smile: "Qing'an City has not stabilized yet. If your family doesn't have enough food, I can help deliver some."

Li Guanxuan's eyes lit up and he said quickly: "Lingmi."

Fellow Daoist Hong silently wrote it down.

The person next to me asked: "Is there enough meat?"

"We're almost finished." Li Guanxuan's mouth was bitter.

"Put it at your door at midnight. Remember to take it away quickly."

The man said something, and then added: "About six spiritual stones."

Li Guanxuan was stunned for a moment, then took out his storage bag, counted ten pieces from the scattered spiritual stones, handed them to the other party, and said gratefully:

"Thanks."

Both of them also saw that there were more than a dozen low-grade spiritual stones left in Li Guanxuan's storage bag.

The man took out four spiritual stones and gave them back to Li Guanxuan. He said angrily: "We only have sixty kilograms of spiritual beef. Don't expect me to bring you more."

Seeing that Li Guanxuan wanted to say something else, Fellow Daoist Hong quickly stopped with his eyes and interrupted loudly:

"Alright Master Li Fu, please remember to open the door and take away the rice and meat in Xushi. Don't let others pick it up. We are rushing to the next house to collect rent, so we won't disturb you."

"Lingmi's money...well, thank you two fellow Taoists, I will keep it in mind."

Li Guanxuan bowed his hands and thanked him repeatedly.

After the two left, Li Guanxuan closed the door. He breathed a sigh of relief and saw Qin Jiyue staring at him in shock.

"What are you doing? Why are you looking at your husband with such admiration?" Li Guanxuan laughed softly.

"A treacherous person..."

Qin Jiyue was dumbfounded just now.

If she remembered correctly, Li Guanxuan still had at least three to four thousand low-grade spiritual stones, a pile of talismans and seals, and enough food to feed their family of three for three years...

But just now, the embarrassment on Li Guanxuan's face didn't look like an act at all!

And the operation of counting spiritual stones made her jaw drop.

Qin Jiyue said strangely: "No, why didn't you get a bag of spirit stones and count them earlier? This might have saved you 40 yuan of wasted spirit stones."

Li Guanxuan put his arm around her shoulders and explained slowly and patiently:

"After the war, although Luoyue Valley obtained the spiritual veins of this area, it must have paid a high price, otherwise it would not have tried every means to obtain spiritual stones and squeeze the bottom-level casual cultivators.

Outer disciples like Hong Lang and Cui Zhi, who were originally from Huanxi Mountain, were actually oppressed no less than us.

After all, the bloodbath had just ended, and the non-staff personnel who could survive and keep their positions had basically gone bankrupt.

If you think about it carefully, Cui Zhi used to be a very friendly person with a smile on his face. If he hadn't been beaten in real life now, he wouldn't have seemed like a different person.

Forty pieces of low-grade spiritual stones are not too much, not too much, but they are enough to support them for a while and remember my kindness to them... Why not? "

After Qin Jiyue slowly digested these words, she was filled with emotions.

She suddenly discovered that Li Guanxuan actually knew how to manipulate people's hearts better than she did.
