Lord, I'm floating

Chapter 7 Casual Cultivation Please Stay Away
With the presence of Fan Laodao, after a simple test, it was easy to get a white jade identity card with "Danyang Fang" engraved on it, and the words "Sans Xiu, Chen Mou" engraved on the back. Chen Mou cherished the white jade card and put it in his arms.

In this world, he is also a person with status.

Although I heard that the loose repair card is not very useful, at least in Fangshi, he doesn't have to worry about being sold out blatantly.

The stone in my heart fell to the ground, and the air smelled sweet, which was the taste of freedom.

Walking out of the hall on the first floor of the foreign affairs workshop, Fan Laodao waved his hands absently to say goodbye, and went straight to Hongyitang.

The huge sum of [-] spirit stones forced him to sell the half-mountain yard to raise money.

The poison in the body cannot be dragged on for a long time, and there is no time for him to think of a solution.

It's not that he has a kind heart and doesn't ask for anything in return for doing good deeds. Even if he sells Brother Mou, it's not enough to help him.

In his heart there was a sense of distress and uneasiness about the future, and he didn't want to think about long-term plans to catch big fish, and felt very meaningless in the face of life-threatening situations.

There was also the thought of giving up this body.

There are many scruples. After all, it is extremely risky to seize the soul in the Qi Refining Realm, and it cannot be tolerated by the righteous way. At least the rules are like this. He will no longer be able to live in the sun from now on.

Furthermore, brother Mou'er's spiritual power is different from that of ordinary people. After he has advanced to the Qi Refining Realm, it is inconvenient for him to check again. Whether he can successfully seize the house is another matter. Of course, there are other methods to assist, but it is very time-consuming.

That's all, that's all, it's a good deed.

Chen Mou watched the back of the old man disappearing into the crowd, he didn't know what to do for a while, and only seven copper coins were found in his pockets, and he didn't even find money for lunch.

In this unaccompanied foreign world, he wouldn't starve to death on the streets, right?
Chen Mou walked around the street for a long time, walked into the first floor of the "Foreign Affairs Workshop" again, asked and found a room on the left, and said to the reception monk, "I want to rent a yard."

He showed his ID card that he had just completed.

I have heard Fan Laodao said before that in order to retain casual cultivators in every market, they will not let casual cultivators stay in the common world. You can even get a loan of five spirit stones as the initial capital, and the settlement will be settled at two percent interest when it expires in one year.

Chen Mou rented a low-class courtyard and borrowed five spirit stones. He bit off his right index finger and left a bloody fingerprint beside Chen Mou's name in the lower left corner of the document.

If the one-year period expires and the rent and spirit stones in arrears are not paid back, people will go to the empty building to play whoring for nothing.

Then Fangshi will hand over the bloody fingerprints at the bottom of the document to the sect monks who specialize in arresting people, and use secret methods to chase them to the ends of the world and also arrest the vicious betrayers who evade rent and loan. "The canon punishment of the Ming Dynasty played the role of killing chickens and scaring monkeys.

Walking out of the foreign affairs workshop, Chen Mou, who was heavily burdened with rent and loans, shook his head and smiled.

It can also be regarded as a temporary relief from his predicament of no fixed place to live and no food to eat.

When he came to the grocery store in Fangshi, Chen Mou spent two Wude coins to buy a complete set of pots, bowls, chopsticks, pans, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, rice noodles, pickled meat, dried vegetables and other daily necessities, and retrieved three taels of gold ingots and some broken silver.

To buy ordinary items in Fangshi, you need to exchange Lingshi for Wude money, and secular gold and silver can also be circulated.

Compared with the mountain, the high price of Fangshi can shock the jaws of ordinary people.

A large piece of farmland was opened up in the north of Fangshi, managed by Danyangzong. There are mortals who plant ordinary rice, wheat, vegetables, fruit trees, open ponds to raise fish, and raise pigs, sheep, cows, donkeys and other livestock to supply the needs of many monks in Fangshi. .

Chen Mou carried a few big cloth bags on his back, walked down the mountain for several miles to the south, found a small hill close to Lingtian, and found the bronze plaque with "Danyang Fang Bing San San Wu" hanging on the north side of the mountain at the foot of the mountain. inferior yard.

Using a bronze key with two fingers wide and three inches long, insert it into the keyhole of the courtyard door to unlock the most basic sealing formation in the courtyard.

"Squeak", pushing open the painted wooden door, one sees a small courtyard with green weeds, facing a green brick and tile house with a main room, two side rooms and a kitchen and toilet. Compared with Fan Laodao's quadrangle courtyard, The layout is too different.

Chen Mou would not dislike it, he finally had a small piece of land to stand on.

Put the things into the kitchen, uncover the stone well cover at the corner of the courtyard wall, fetch a bucket of cool well water, find a broom and rags, and roughly tidy up the house.

Put the iron pot on the two stones piled up in the yard, light dry firewood, pour oil and heat it up and simply boil the pot.

He used to study extensively, pay attention to everything, and know a little about everything.

Put the iron pot back on the kitchen stove, boil the water to clean the bacon and dice it, soak the dried vegetables and chop it, wash the brown rice, and make a pot of delicious bacon and diced rice. After a full meal, you can go out leisurely , Go to Fangshi to buy necessities such as bedding, towels, lamps, a box of large porcelain bowls for practicing exercises.

He is very satisfied with living alone, and practicing agility in the yard is more spacious.

It took two days to clear the weeds with a hoe, and the whole small courtyard looked brand new inside and out.

Near noon on the third day, he deliberately went to Fangshi to buy cooked food, wine and meat, as well as a pack of preserved fruits and snacks. He carried them around the middle of the mountain and found the familiar yard where he had lived for two years.

It was Tao'er who opened the door, her cheeks that were a bit baby fat turned out to be dull and haggard, her eye sockets were slightly red and swollen.

"Master Chen, you are here."

Tao'er greeted the guests with a salute, smiling a little forcedly.

Chen Mou heard the hoarseness in Tao'er's voice, and he had a bad premonition in his heart. He handed the paper-wrapped preserved fruit and a piece of wine and meat to Tao'er, and asked, "Is Mr. Fan at home?"

Fan Laodao's hearty greeting came from the main room: "Brother Mou, come and have a drink, Lao Mu has just arrived, there are so many people."

Chen Mou suppressed his doubts, walked up the eaves steps along the green brick road, crossed the threshold, and saluted Fan Lao who put down his wine cup and the bearded Mu Xing, saying: "It's better to come early than to come early, Brother Fan owes me a debt of gratitude." Ton wine, just in time."

Fan Juran laughed loudly and beckoned Chen Mou to sit down.

Xing'er, who was serving, had already brought clean dishes and poured a glass of wine.

Tao'er cut several dishes of cooked stewed vegetables, served them on porcelain plates, and removed two leftover vegetables.

The three of them drank and ate meat. Fan Laodao casually asked where Chen Mou’s yard was settled, and said with a smile: “Brother Mou has moved to a new house, and my brother has nothing to give. Just take the books in the room you lived in before, and you I happen to like reading books, haha."

Chen Mou hurriedly thanked him, but he was still thinking about borrowing a book and going back to copy it.

This gift is very suitable for him.

I also feel a little ashamed of the villainous heart I gave birth to before, but I don't regret it at all.

There is a saying in Fangshi that "the heart is separated from the belly, and the heart of defense is indispensable."

Mu Xing wiped the wine off his beard and asked, "Brother Mou, is he going to farm or do he have other livelihoods?"

Chen Mou said honestly: "I'm thinking about it. I'm short of water in the three lines. It's quite difficult to learn and perform the spirit rain technique of watering the seedlings. What's more, I rent three acres of spirit fields and deliver [-] spirits to Fangshi every year." The renter of the stone, and the yield per mu is about four stones of spiritual rice, and one needs to be proficient in planting and spiritual rain. One stone of spiritual rice is worth five spiritual stones, which is equivalent to half of the output from the market.

After planting three acres of spiritual land, there are 24 remaining spiritual stones left. After paying the annual rent of [-] spiritual stones for the inferior cave, and the loan of five spiritual stones, and the interest of two cents, it is useless all year round. "

Mu Xing and Fan Laodao laughed.

The Tianxiafang market is generally dark, and the calculation is just right, forcing casual cultivators to plant fields. After ten acres or twenty acres of land, they can have enough money to buy maidservants, medicine pills, etc., and enjoy life slowly.

Of course, there are too many fields, the training time must be shortened, and the training speed will be hindered.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that there is a far-reaching plan hidden in it.
