Chapter 215 It’s easy to spend money but hard to make money
The stars in the sky disappeared.
Everything is calm again.
Yang Changfu suddenly collapsed to the ground, his face was pale and his expression was dull, obviously he was still frightened by what just happened.
Although the "Heart Gu" has been eliminated, and although the spiritual thoughts of Gu Xu and Shangguan Jin quickly evacuated from his conscious world, Yang Changfu still has the illusion that "my body does not belong to me."
Shangguan Jin also took a deep breath, and finally returned to the real world.
She glanced at Gu Xu beside her, thinking of the vast starry sky and the modified "Lower Curse", many questions arose in her mind.
But after hesitating for a moment, what she finally said was "thank you".
Because she knew that if Gu Xu had not extended a helping hand in time, I am afraid that she would have been sinking in a sea of negative emotions and would have been unable to extricate herself.
By then, the situation will become very passive.
Gu Xu smiled faintly and responded: "You're welcome. If it weren't for you making a special trip to show me the house, you wouldn't be in such trouble."
His eyes were calm and deep.
No matter how hard Shangguan Jin looked, he could not find his thoughts.
"It's so unpredictable!" she thought silently.
When she saw Gu Xu on the bronze mirror of Luo Sishou for the first time, she just thought that this young man was very good-looking and very talented.
But every time they met after that, such as the test at the Laoshan ruins, such as escaping from the disaster in Qingzhou Mansion, such as facing a powerful opponent in the Lantern Festival Arena, such as today's battle in the world of consciousness... he always had a source of energy. Constantly bringing "surprises" and showing amazing methods.
As for Shi Xiaohan, he finally relaxed his tense heartstrings.
In the past period of time, she had been nervous, always ready to run back to the exorcism department's Yamen to report the news, for fear that Gu Xu would encounter something unexpected in the dangerous confrontation of spiritual thoughts.
——If she could also perform sword skills in the conscious world, she would have already waved the "Kunwu Sword" and joined the battle menacingly.
Until now, she breathed a long sigh of relief, took two steps forward, and her bright almond eyes turned into crescent moons.
"Gu Xu, how is the battle going?" she asked.
“We have successfully eliminated the Gu worms in Mr. Yang’s sea of consciousness,” Gu Xu replied, “But the enemy behind the scenes is hidden too deeply, and we are still unable to find his traces. We still need the exorcism department. The Yamen sent someone to conduct further investigation. "
At this time, the businessman Yang Changfu finally stood up from the ground while holding on to the pillar beside him.
He nodded and bowed, and with a slightly trembling voice, he sincerely thanked the monks of the Exorcism Department.
“Without the help of a few adults, I really don’t know how long my unlucky life would last.”
At the same time, he took out a wad of silver notes from his pocket, stuffed it into the hands of Gu Xu and Shangguan Jin, and said, "It's a small thought, please accept it, adults!"
But Shangguan Jin immediately shook his head and refused with a serious expression.
She said that everything that happened in the courtyard today has been recorded in the files of the Exorcism Department as an abnormal event. According to the regulations of the Daqi Exorcism Department, officials are not allowed to accept bribes from the people while performing their tasks.
"In addition, Mr. Yang, I'm afraid there is another hidden story behind today's incident," Shangguan Jin continued, "In the next period of time, the Exorcism Department will send people here to investigate and look for clues. , I hope you can actively cooperate. I apologize for any inconvenience caused to your life."
Yang Changfu was silent for a few seconds, raised his head and asked, "Sir, starting from today, I should not experience this again. Those unfortunate things?”
Shangguan Jin glanced at Gu Xu beside him.
Seeing Gu Xu nodded, she smiled and replied: "Theoretically not. Of course, things like business being deserted are not only related to Feng Shui. Other issues need to be dealt with by yourself. Deal with it.”
…………
The problem of bad luck has been solved, and Yang Changfu will naturally not sell the property at a low price.
In addition, according to the laws of the Daqi Dynasty, until the mastermind behind the scenes is caught, this courtyard house, as the location of the crime, will be temporarily restricted from trading.
So if Gu Xu wanted to buy a house, he could only choose another place.
This made him feel a little pity.
Because it is difficult for him to buy such a cheap house in other places in the capital. Fortunately, after solving the feng shui problem and the "heart poison" in Yang Changfu's body, he was able to receive a meritorious reward, which could barely make up for the mental loss he missed out on a cheap house.
In addition, after experiencing the baptism of negative emotions just now, he not only created a new spiritual consciousness spell "Hoshigaki" based on "Solar Eclipse" , and also gained a deeper understanding of the fourth realm "Wangxiang Terrace".
He believed that when he went back to practice tonight, he would be able to take a big step forward on the ladder of "Homesickness Ridge".
In the end, after repeated weighing and comparison, Gu Xu purchased the house in Yanqingfang.
It is adjacent to Luoshui, surrounded by trees, and the scenery is beautiful and pleasant.
Although there are many mansions of powerful people nearby.
But Gu Xu thought about it and felt that he would not spend too much time at home in the future. This house would be just a decoration most of the time, and he would have few opportunities to interact with his neighbors.
Of course, for him, the most critical factor is price.
The price of this house is four hundred and eighty taels, which is much cheaper than the one in Sishunfang.
In addition to the exorcism department’s housing subsidy, he also had to pay three hundred taels of silver.
Of course, he only needs to pay one hundred taels of silver today, and he can pay off the rest in installments in the future.
Seeing that he was short of money, Shi Xiaohan generously extended a helping hand and offered to help him pay half of the cost - as long as Gu Xu didn't mind her frequent visits.
Gu Xu smiled and rejected her kindness.
Finding money to buy a house is not the same as giving away elixirs. If her father Shi Qianhu found out, he might kill him from Laizhou Prefecture to the capital.
…………
“It’s not easy to make money in Luo Jing City, but it’s really fast to spend money!”
Half an hour later, Gu Xu sat down Returning to the carriage of the Exorcism Department Yamen, I sighed silently in my heart.
The newly purchased house cannot be moved in yet.
It will take some time to modify its lintels, stairs, etc. in accordance with the housing construction regulations of the Daqi Dynasty.
At this moment, the banknotes earned in the Lantern Festival Tournament had left him and fell into the pocket of the original owner of the house.
Gu Xu sighed.
He deeply felt that if he wanted to live a comfortable and comfortable life in Luojing City, he would definitely not be able to rely solely on the salary of the Exorcist Department.
You also have to look for opportunities to make some extra money.
On the one hand, the "Guest Teaching at Longmen Academy" position that Luo Sishou mentioned to him was free and well-paid, so he had to find a way to get it.
On the other hand, Luo Jing City is different from Yishui County. There are a large number of monks here and a large number of wealthy people. The demand for talismans should be very large. He may be able to do what Luo Sishou mentioned Like the Talisman Master named Zhao Xinran, he makes some money by selling Talisman.
…………
At the same time.
In the thatched cottage in the north of Luojing City, near Mang Mountain, the face of the middle-aged woman who mastered the "Heart Gu" became very gloomy.
The "Heart Gu" she planted in Yang Changfu and other people's bodies was spent several years nourishing it day and night with the power of her soul. It is closely related to her and can almost be regarded as her soul. part of.
Because of this, she can use the "heart poison" to cast mental spells that can release negative emotions.
However, she never expected that her opponent would not only be able to break free from negative emotions, but also cut off the connection between her and the "Heart Gu".
Especially at the moment when the connection was disconnected, she felt a strong pressure, as if the gods above the nine heavens were issuing an order, which made her feel a sense of awe from the bottom of her heart.
"Damn it," she said angrily in her heart, "Where did this enemy come from, and he has such a strong attainment in spiritual consciousness? You have to tell the Lord as soon as possible."
