There are not only local monks coming and going in the Spirit World Alliance Square City, but also many outside monks like Gu Chengshu.
Because there is a demand, naturally there is an additional profession, that of a guide.
As soon as Gu Chengshu stepped through the north gate tower, she felt many eyes turning towards her, and even a little kid from the second floor of Qi Refining ran over first.
"Fairy, do you want to lead the way?"
The little baby is very thin, looking like eight or nine years old, with a pair of big eyes full of desire and expectation.
"Need not!"
Gu Chengshu's ruthless words made the little baby's eyes darken.
The surrounding eyes also all turned away.
She paused in her heart, but moved forward without hesitation.
Although she knew it would be more convenient to find a guide, Gu Chengshu still didn't want others to know that she was a foreigner.
The ancestor had given her the map of Lingjiefang City a long time ago. Go through the north gate and walk straight ahead to the Xuanwu Street. There seems to be an office of the alliance at the end of the street. You can rent a house there.
It seems that for everyone's convenience, there are alliance offices in the four streets of Qinglong, Baihu, Zhuque, and Xuanwu corresponding to the southeast and northwest.
Gu Chengshu took his time and was soon lost in the crowd.
"What's up?"
"Rent!"
The office was not big, and there were only two monks guarding it. The old man who asked the question patted the table, and the flat tabletop quickly moved. Soon, a three-dimensional map of the city, shrunk countless times, was revealed in front of Gu Chengshu. .
"Do you want something expensive or something cheap?"
"Cheaper."
The old man's hand stretched out slightly at the intersection of the North Gate and the West Gate. The street and various houses quickly squeezed back and became smaller, but the place where he let go became clearer.
Soon one after another, such as model lakes or unobstructed small courtyards, were revealed in front of Gu Chengshu.
"All the yards in Mohu have been rented out. From the rest, you can choose whichever one you like!"
"... How many spiritual stones does a yard like this cost per month?"
"Sixty-five pieces of low-grade spiritual stones. The rooms are divided into one area. The rooms have been spaced. There are three rooms. They look cramped from the outside, but they are quite spacious inside."
"..."
Gu Chengshu looked at the flat and narrow houses that took up most of the courtyard. After thinking for a while, she pointed to the last courtyard in the third row from the bottom, "That's it."
"Ren No. 100."
The old man asked: "Monthly rent or annual rent?"
"Half-year rent!"
The old man grabbed his hand in the sky above the small courtyard and quickly condensed a small card as thin as paper, "Three hundred and ninety low-grade spiritual stones." As he spoke, he played six green streaks on the small card in succession. Angry, "If you don't renew the lease after half a year, you don't have to come over. The courtyard ban will automatically push you out."
If you want to skip the house, that's impossible.
Gu Chengshu heard his unfinished words and touched him three hundred and ninety low-grade spiritual stones without any nonsense, "I'm sorry to trouble you, senior. I dare to ask senior, if this rental card is broken or lost, will I?" Can’t go in either?”
Holding this sign, she was really afraid of accidentally breaking it.
"Concentrate the rental card with your spiritual consciousness, and it will naturally disappear. No one can take it away, and naturally it will not be lost."
The old man said very proudly: "This is a new method from the formation hall to prevent certain violent robbery incidents."
It also saves them a lot of trouble.
"If there are guests, you can only open the door for them yourself. Otherwise, any break-in without the owner's consent will be detected by the city patrol and will arrive within a hundred breaths."
These safety measures are all recently implemented by Jintang.
We are preparing for a big promotion.
"That's it, thank you senior."
As he spoke, Gu Chengshu focused his consciousness on the paper-thin rental sign. The image in the rental sign was that of the courtyard. There was a jade-leaf tree with green leaves in the corner, and stone tables and chairs under the tree. His sight quickly changed again. The door opened wide in front of her, and the three rooms were empty, not even a futon.
cough!
Does she still want to buy tables, chairs and benches?
Gu Chengshu blinked twice, met the old man's smiling gaze, and said in her heart: "Senior, do you sell matching tables, chairs, and benches?"
"Sell it!"
The old man was waiting for her to ask.
Don't ask them why they still do this, just ask them if they sell a new set of tables, chairs, and benches, and they can get three low-grade spiritual stones as a commission.
Of course, the league also recycles old tables, chairs and benches, and all this business is owned by the league.
"Thirty pieces of low-grade spiritual stones, tables, chairs and benches matched with centuries-old ironwood, beds, futons, tea sets, etc. You want the best..."
"That's it."
Not expensive.
Gu Chengshu, who runs a shop at home, has some impressions of the iron and wood furniture commonly used in the world of immortality.
When I leave in the future, I don’t want to take advantage of others, so I just take it with me.
Speaking of which, she could indeed bring some matching furniture like this.
Gu Chengshu, who felt that her life was gradually stabilizing, did not want to wrong herself anymore, so she took the supporting furniture of three rooms and strode to Xiping Street.
That's where she lives.
It can be said that the entire Xiping Street, except for the shops on both sides, is full of courtyards like that, criss-crossing each other, and they are all filled with hundreds of buildings.
Gu Chengshu is not short of talisman paper and ink now. When she delivered the goods that day, she bought a lot more. Since the senior sister didn't see her, well, she didn't let her see her either.
She made up her mind to stay in the courtyard and draw the talisman for six months.
I thought so in my heart, but my eyes were very honest. I glanced over and over, just to see what the senior sister had become.
Unfortunately, she didn't see anyone who might be her senior sister along the way.
Instead, I saw the little boy leading the way at the city gate.
At this time, he was limping and seemed to have been beaten.
“Do you know which dim sum restaurant near here has delicious food?”
ah?
Coming for business?
The little kid hurriedly performed a dust-purifying technique on himself, "I know! Fairy, come with me. There are two dim sum shops on Xiping Street, but neither of them is as delicious as the snacks in Tianxiang and the dim sum shop in Beishang Street."
"Yeah?"
Gu Chengshu smiled and said, "Let's go then! After buying the snacks, I will find a better restaurant and order some meals."
She and Tuantuan both need to eat.
It is impossible to live without grain.
"There is a branch of Chunfeng Pavilion on Beishang Street. The chefs who prepare the dishes are all immortal chefs certified by the alliance. They have a craft competition every ten years. I heard that Qin Xianchu can also make very good noodles."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and his stomach rumbled a few times.
The little boy hurriedly pressed his belly, not daring to think about those delicious foods anymore.
"Really? Thanks for the recommendation."
Gu Chengshu seemed not to have heard it and asked another question, "How many spiritual stones should I pay you?"
"Two...two low-grade spiritual stones!"
The little baby immediately forgot about his stomach and looked at her eagerly.
"for you!"
Gu Chengshu raised her hand and gave five yuan, "If it's more, I'll reward you. You're in a good mood today."
"Thank you fairy!"
He has no storage bag, only a treasure bag.
The little boy cherished the five spirit stones and put them into the treasure bag, "My name is Li Shen, and I have been working as a guide at the North Gate. If anything happens in the future, fairies, just come to me."
At this point, he paused and said, "Our guide is also very well-informed. If the fairy wants to find out anything, it's easy to find us."
"Yeah?"
After taking the spirit stone, Gu Chengshu felt that his legs and feet were more agile than before, "Then do you know which formation master in the Alliance Formation Hall is more powerful? Do they have formation disks for sale?"
The Seven Heart Formation of Mochen was destroyed in Funiu City.
She desperately needs a good formation.
"...There should be none for the time being."
Li Shen hesitated for a moment and said: "During this period, it seems that all the powerful formations have been sent to the Western Realm by the seniors. Now there are not many seniors left in the formation hall. They all have to maintain the various formations in Fang City. It's running, and there's no time to make another formation disk.
I heard that the prices of array disks in various stores have increased by almost 20 to 30%.
And, it’s not that good. "
That's it!
Gu Chengshu nodded, "I live at No. 100, Xiping Street. Please help me keep an eye out for any good arrays that appear. Let me know when the time comes."
"yes!"
This is all business!
Li Shen nodded vigorously.
The two of them soon arrived at Tianxiang and the dim sum shop.
Yellow rice cold cake, pearl cake, golden shortbread, purple rice glutinous rice cake, crystal crust...
After trying the eight most famous items in the dim sum shop, Gu Chengshu ordered a hundred portions of each, which made Li Shen outside the store jump with joy.
Although Tianxiang and the famous ones would not give any introduction fees to guides like them, this fairy bought a lot, so as usual, he could get a few snacks.
He had never eaten such a high-end snack until his grandfather was around.
My sister was still young at that time and she hadn’t eaten it yet.
Li Shen's dark and bright eyes were full of expectation.
"Fellow Taoist, I bought so much, you can give more introduction fees to the kids outside!"
The female cultivator who was packing her bags paused, looked at Li Shen outside, and couldn't help but smile, "Okay! Go back and wait for him to come, I will give him more knots."
Although Tianxianghe is not worried about business, if the guide leads customers whom he doesn't understand to other stores, the introduction fee will be real.
"By the way, this pack of snacks doesn't look very good. You can help me give it to him first, and tell him that he can come to my store in the evening to pay the introduction fee."
"OK!"
Desserts are made from the best ingredients. In fact, for low-level monks, they are no less than Qi Gathering Pills.
Gu Chengshu took it for Li Shen with a smile.
…
Northwest Street, No. 73 Geng, Huang Lianzhu looked at the sweaty old cultivator in the courtyard and said nothing for a long time.
"...I don't dare to do that anymore, little old man."
The old cultivator's legs were trembling, and his heart was filled with panic, "There will definitely be no next time."
"I hope you can keep your word."
After stretching the person enough, Huang Lianzhu said: "What I asked you to inquire about requires the cooperation of all the guides. If you bully the weak like that, will they tell you the truth?"
She was angry, but for safety reasons, she couldn't find anyone else.
Only this old man is the dominant one among the guides, and he can pry open the mouths of other guides at will.
"I've already given you a lot of spiritual stones. People...can't be too greedy and let me see them again..."
Huang Lianzhu stared at his neck, "But don't blame me for making it impossible for you to continue in this industry."
"Yes, yes, the little one doesn't dare. He must not dare anymore."
If the monks from the Alliance Talisman Hall are really angry, they have plenty of ways to deal with him.
The old man nodded and bowed, "I... I'll go back and watch you."
"Go!"
Huang Lianzhu waved his hand, motioning for him to get out.
Lord Demon God began to pay attention to Gu Chengshu.
Will she return to the Fuyuan Realm? Does she dare to return to the Fuyuan Realm?
Judging from the information received, Huang Lianzhu felt that she had a high possibility of joining the Alliance Talisman Hall. After all, the Alliance Talisman Hall extended an olive branch to her as early as ten years ago.
What did Lingyun Sect give her?
When people leave, the tea is cold and there is no shelter for ten years.
In those ten years, Gu Chengshu must have endured a lot of hardship.
She could endure it if she didn't have the strength before, but now that she has the strength and the backing, can she still endure it?
Although their people in the Fuyuan Realm have been eliminated over and over again, the fact that the seniors can't do anything to Qiao Yan doesn't mean that they can't do anything to Gu Chengshu.
Cultivation is her biggest flaw.
Huang Lianzhu's main target is Gu Chengshu, who might go to the Alliance Talisman Hall. Of course, if she guesses wrong, she can also look for other monks who came out of the Immortal Secret Realm.
She has some confidence in other people, but for Gu Chengshu...
Thinking of the letter sent by Senior Chitian, Huang Lianzhu's original confidence shrank by half again for some reason.
Lord Demon God has already remembered Gu Chengshu. How many things has Gu Chengshu done?
It's impossible for her master, her master, to be as carefree as before, right?
Faintly, Huang Lianzhu doubted that Wushang Xingjun would always be by her side.
After all, when they moved the mountain, the old man followed them to Forbidden Mountain.
Looking at the closed courtyard door, Huang Lianzhu couldn't help but sigh.
If the Demon Lord didn't pay attention to her, she could still be here and occasionally do something to perfunctory her adoptive father, but now, perfunctory is definitely not enough.
The situation in the Western World should be worse than when she first came out.
she……
After thinking again and again, Huang Lianzhu finally stood up, walked to the talisman room, and started her homework.
After joining the Futang, she also has a Fulu mission.
Only if the task is completed better and the quality of the talisman is higher, can she gain the attention of the elders of the talisman hall and climb higher.
For this undercover mission, her adoptive father even helped her peel off the so-called spiritual master.
Before Chi Tian came, Huang Lianzhu, who had lost her spirit master, had thought that if she didn't go well undercover, she would become completely invisible so that her adoptive father could not find her. But when Chi Tian came, the Demon God asked everyone to cooperate with her... …
Huang Lianzhu's pressure doubled, and he continued to draw. When his pen power stagnated, he made a "chi" sound, and the wooden charm that was about to succeed burned on the spot.
She raised her hand to destroy it, swept it to the trash can aside, and started drawing the second picture again.
On this side, Gu Chengshu and Li Shen, who had ordered spiritual food and a lot of noodles, separated and walked through alleys one after another, counting A, B, C and D. They walked all the way to Ren's side and started counting again. They found Ren No. 100. I just felt some kind of pull.
The thick wooden door slowly opened in front of her, and a bluestone path extended to the front of the house. The green leaves and jade bone tree made a clattering sound like a canopy.
Gu Chengshu looked around, wondering where the senior sister could hide. If she really hid here without being noticed, she would still have to study hard.
Unfortunately, the alleys crisscrossing the front and back were deserted.
Gu Chengshu sighed and walked into No. 100 Ren. The wooden door closed softly behind her, and with a "buzz" sound, a spiritual light rose up and enveloped the entire small courtyard.
