In the dark room, suddenly there was the sound of a baby crying, which startled both Ji Que and Ning Hongyu.

Where did the child come from!

The two looked around again, and there was nothing else besides them and this corpse. The crying of the baby could be said to be very abrupt.

Ning Hongyu waved his hand, and the oil lamp quickly burst into flames.

The darkness in the room was dispelled, revealing the beautiful faces of Ji Que and Ning Hongyu.

Apart from them and this corpse, there is indeed nothing here, as if everything that appeared just now was an illusion.

The two of them were almost certain that the voice just now came from this corpse.

"Not dead yet?" Ji Que asked doubtfully as he picked up the corpse with the Thousand Machine Sword.

But the corpse was indeed too dead to die.

In Ning Hongyu's words, it's more like a bit of instinct left in front of him.

From Ji Que's understanding, it's like a frog being killed and peeled off. Some muscles and nerves are still alive, and some parts may still be flicked after death.

After that, Ning Hongyu began to ask Ji Que about the "ginseng fruit tree".

"Haven't you heard of Zhenyuanzi's ginseng fruit tree?" Ji Que asked.

Ning Hongyu raised her eyebrows and said, "Zhen Yuanzi, a Taoist deity?"

After some communication, Ji Que basically confirmed that Ning Hongyu was not very familiar with this aspect.

There should be no legends similar to "Journey to the West" in this world, otherwise, with Ning Hongyu's level of knowledge and memorization, she shouldn't be so confused.

And his impression of ginseng fruit tree and Zhenyuanzi mainly comes from the four famous books in his previous life.

Chen Hanshi talked about the old man in the sky, the true body of Guanyin in the painting, and now there is a ginseng tree that can turn people into such a tree. The gods in this world are really more and more interesting.

Judging from the clues obtained now, is the He whom Luo Yun spoke of a ginseng fruit tree that turned him into this, or the god behind this tree?

However, Ji Que is not sure whether there are Zhenyuanzi and ginseng fruit trees in this world, and if Luo Yun is a ginseng fruit, it is quite different from what he knows.

Ning Hongyu said: "I've heard of Zhen Yuanzi's name, but just heard of it, then we really need to check the ginseng fruit tree and Zhen Yuanzi you mentioned. By the way, how do you know these?"

Ji Que replied: "When I was in Sangshui County, I heard an old man say that people can live forever if they eat ginseng fruit from the ginseng fruit tree."

Ning Hongyu pondered, "The old man over there really knows a lot."

Ji Que shrugged.

I can't tell you that I came from time travel, have you read Journey to the West?

After such a big battle, it is naturally a peaceful day.

It's just that Ji Que can clearly feel that both Lin Xiangzhi and Bai Lu have become diligent.

One should be stimulated after experiencing the incident of the big brother and find that he is not strong enough, and the other is to see his sister was seriously injured and lamented that the world is really dangerous, so he had to practice.

It can only be said that Bai Lingshuang's injury provided indelible help to Bai Lu's endeavor.

Because she was worried that if she didn't cultivate well, she would die suddenly one day, and she would not be able to feel the beauty of this world.

In the underground palace, the group of ministers and officials were still going to court and retreating regularly, narrating major events in the court in words that ordinary people could not understand, as if all the disturbances made by Ji Que and the others before were just a fleeting moment.

And what they ate was really that kind of Treeman.

That kind of tree people is formed in pieces, and I don't know how they were formed.

The people from Jiangmo Building and Qingqi Department, led by steward Chen Zhuchen, ambushed in the underground palace. After confirming that there was no serious danger, they rushed out and held the officials down.

"Gao Yu Shouhu, Gai Bang."

"攭攮, 櫱."

"What are you doing?"

"This is the palace!"

These officials spoke angrily and panickedly in different languages, until Chen Zhu said "Don't howl, it's the opposite!" The expressions on the faces of these officials suddenly became desperate.

Some of their normal faces began to change, their skin became pale as paper, and a thin film of flesh appeared in their eyes, as if they had become blind.

When the group of people were taken away, Chen Zhu, Wang Hua, and Master Lingyu looked at the huge sculpture of the Pig King, and couldn't help feeling furious in their hearts.

The emperor who has so many people going to court here is such a thing like a giant earthworm?

Master Lingyu is also well-informed, but he found that in the past one or two years, it seems that since he met Ji Que in Sangshui County, he felt that this world has become more and more strange to him.

He saw many evil spirits that he had never seen before, or even heard of, some of which were difficult to understand.

Chen Zhu said with a chill in his heart: "Let's burn it."

Master Lingyu nodded in agreement.

What kind of evil must be burned cleanly.

With a bang, a Thunder Fire Egg was thrown out, igniting the huge "earthworm".

Because this thing was too big, Chen Zhu threw two more out.

In the dark underground space, there was a disgusting smell, which showed that the sculpture was not just made of wood.

It wasn't until the entire huge weird statue turned into pieces of ashes that Chen Zhu and the three got up and left.

They didn't realize that when the statue was burned, the eyes of a young man among the officials who were taken away suddenly became very big and bright.

"Okay, what I said last time, tell me the number."

Outside the grove, Ning Hongyu hugged her chest and said to the concierge Ji Que.

Ji Que did not expect this happiness to come so quickly.

He looked at Ning Hongyu whose breasts seemed bigger because of hugging her chest, and said nervously, "Really?"

"Really, tell me." Ning Hongyu said.

"Twenty thousand taels, I want twenty thousand taels of silver." Ji Que took a deep breath and said.

At this time, Ning Hongyu couldn't help laughing, and said, "You really think of me, I thought it was at least gold."

"Gold?"

Ning Hongyu said: "It's useless to regret it, you only have this one chance."

Ji Que stood at the same spot, a little confused for a while, and secretly said: "Is it going to be less? Twenty thousand taels of silver is going to be less?"

For a moment, Ji Que obviously made a profit, but felt that he was losing money.

He was worried that he would open his mouth like a lion, but in the end he had no imagination.

Sure enough, poverty limited my imagination.

But overall, Ji Que is happy.

Happy as hell.

Especially a few days later, when the thick stack of banknotes was placed in a box and delivered to him, he was as happy as if he was about to become a fairy.

If it weren't for the absence of computers and the Internet in this world, he would have liked to write down the question "In ancient times, people had 20,000 taels, how to spend them properly?".

For such a huge sum of money, Ji Que felt a little hot for a while.

After all, he is still in the stage of accumulating understanding.

So, he took half of it to Ning Hongyu, saying that he would temporarily store the half with her and pick it up when he needed it.

Although Ning Hongyu agreed, she felt weird.

Why do you feel like you are in charge of money?

Afterwards, Ji Que took another five thousand taels and placed it with Lin Xiangzhi, leaving only five thousand taels for himself.

Never put all your eggs in the same basket, this is the conclusion that Ji Que came to very early on.

He wanted to verify whether it would be safer to put the money in someone else's place.

He didn't do this before because he didn't know if it would be effective and he was reluctant.

After all, among them, only Ning Hongyu has bank attributes, and can afford to lose it.

Sure enough, on the third day, when Lin Xiangzhi counted the bank notes, she found that two pieces of 500 taels were missing, and one of them had a mark bitten by a mouse.

Ji Que said depressedly: "A mouse stole money from your cat?"

Lin Xiangzhi was also a little dazed, and said with an aggrieved face, "I don't know either."

In the next two days, Ning Hongyu sent back 10,000 taels and made it clear that he would not save it for him.

Ji Que asked why, and Ning Hongyu replied: "You can't keep your money, and you lost two thousand taels inexplicably in five days. I feel that I will still lose if I continue."

So after going around and around, the bank note returned to Ji Que, but Lin Xiangzhi's one thousand taels was missing.

Ji Que only felt that the silver ticket was very hot, and decided to spend it quickly on the spot.

So the model concierge Ji Que reluctantly took leave and decided to go back to Tianren City to buy a house.

After all, this kind of fixed assets is the most stable.

As a result, as soon as he walked to the river, he found that there was a commotion here. A group of people stretched their necks, looking inward like geese, and several black-clothed policemen came in and out quickly.

"What's going on?" Ji Que couldn't help asking.

"It seems that someone's house collapsed, and I don't know if anyone was killed." A woman replied.

Looking at this familiar picture and hearing the similar lines, Ji Que had a bad premonition in his heart.

It can't be that my house collapsed.

He squeezed through the crowd, gasped for breath, and had the urge to faint.

It was his house that collapsed.

Ji Que and Lin Xiangzhi rushed in, and the two policemen were inside.

After learning the identities of the two, a young police officer couldn't help but said, "Thanks to your luck, there is no one at home, otherwise we will be buried here. Well, Mr. Ji, since there is nothing wrong with them, let's go first."

Hearing the police say that he was lucky, Ji Que was speechless for a while.

How can this beautiful house collapse?

Lin Xiangzhi inspected it, picked up a piece of wood, and said, "It's termites."

Ji Que took a look and saw that the top of the wood was densely packed with holes, and there were really tiny ants inside.

It was mice first, and then termites. These animals still make people live a good life.

Immediately, Ji Que jumped onto the wall, looked at the next door and the next door, and said depressedly: "Why is the other family okay?"

Lin Xiangzhi had an expression of "What do you think?"

Ji Que was quite irritable for a while, he picked up the wood and sucked it with zhenqi, sucked out thousands of termites in an instant, kneaded them into balls, and crushed them to burst.

It wasn't until the termites all burst and died that Ji Que's mood stabilized.

Lin Xiangzhi couldn't help asking: "Then can I still buy this house?"

Their original plan was to come back and buy real estate.

Ji Que thought for a while and said, "Buy!"

"The house is going to collapse, so you still want to buy it?"

Ji Que thought about it and said: "When you buy a house, you buy the location. As long as the location is valuable, the house will be valuable. Next time I will build a stone house and use iron windows and iron doors. I see what these dead ants can do to me?"

Lin Xiangzhi thought about it: "Stone house, iron windows, iron gate, why does it sound like a prison cell?"

In the end, Ji Que really bought a house, and there were two big ones in a row, one of which was next door to Ji Que's current house.

Because I heard that Ji Que's house collapsed because of termites, and the price was lowered.

There are two large houses, one of which is not a river view room, but it is quiet and atmospheric, with two entrances and two exits.

Of course, the price is also expensive, including the broker's fee, the total cost is 17,000 taels.

After the money was spent, apart from heartache, Ji Que also felt a sense of relief.

To be honest, he would rather face the pain of being hacked and splashed with boiling water than face the pain of losing his money.

Now it's all right, the money has been exchanged for a house, and the house is in a good location, so everything is safe.

The house collapsed, as long as the lot is still there, it is always valuable.

As a result, Ji Que, a scholar from the countryside, suddenly owned four apartments in Tianren City.

Living in the new house for a few days in turn, and returning to the water house to relive the warm little days before, Ji Que felt a sense of accomplishment all of a sudden.

This day is much more beautiful than the last life.

Four suites, full payment, all relying on my own efforts, it sounds like a fairy tale.

In the evening, Lin Xiangzhi sat under the loquat tree and grilled fish.

Ji Que couldn't help asking: "Xiaori, which of these suites do you like best?"

Saying this kind of words, how can there be a sense of showing off like a beating.

Lin Xiangzhi said, "It's right here."

Ji Que asked in surprise, "Why is it this water house?"

Lin Xiangzhi thought about it: "Is it because I've been living here before? It's quiet here, there are not too many rooms, and there are fish to eat. It's just right."

Ji Que thought about it for a while, "just right." These three words, found that there is a little more meaning.

That is the control of desire, so that people will not be too lost.

Involuntarily, Ji Que thought of another old house in this old house, and couldn't help sighing: "I don't know how much dust has been piled up in that house."

At this moment, under the brilliant sunset, Ji Que was eating the grilled fish delivered by the cat-eared lady, and suddenly missed those days in Sangshui County.

At that time, he didn't have much money, was unlucky, and his college grades were not satisfactory, but he felt a kind of comfortable happiness.

He couldn't help but pulled out that beloved recliner and lay down.

To be honest, he misses Tang Yi.

Over the past year or so, he has experienced many thrilling stories and met many people, including the big-breasted female peak, the cute little Bailu, the virtuous cat-eared lady in front of him, and so on.

But he still couldn't help but miss Tang Yi.

The guy who lay like clothes.

The way he was lying there, besides being lazy, was lazy, but he didn't seem to get tired of it.

He is like an anchor in this mysterious world, or the original harbor, which always makes people feel comfortable and peaceful.

That familiar feeling is back.

Lin Xiangzhi looked at Ji Que's appearance, frowned and said, "Don't tell me you are eating my grilled fish, but thinking about Ning Hongyu."

Ji Que shook his head.

"Bai Lu?"

Ji Que shook his head again.

Lin Xiangzhi took a breath and said, "Are you still thinking about other women?"
