Am I the only one who didn't ascend?

Chapter 13 She has no idea what she missed

Wang Luo felt that the mansion in front of him did have an aura that made him feel very friendly, but before he could take a closer look, he heard an extremely cheerful young man's voice coming from the courtyard door.

"Sister Yue is back!"

The sounds in the hospital were full of energy, as if they had their own vitality. When Wang Luo listened, he could naturally picture an image of a strong, lively and active young man in his mind.

His body is full of energy and blood, his bones and flesh are tough, his physical talent is extraordinary, and his true energy flows between his limbs and bones like a gurgling spring. It is obvious that he has cultivated both internally and externally, and has a complete foundation. He is only a little polished away from perfection, and can be ready at any time. Started to condense the elixir.What's even more rare is that Yuanshen also has great attainments, like an invisible loose pill that swells gently with breathing.

These basic skills are only slightly insufficient compared to those of a mountain protector like Shi Yue who has a heritage, but they are much better than the pretentious Li Dongyang.

In the old days, even if you were still not on Lingshan's inspection list, you would probably have had the opportunity to earn a letter of recommendation with a Lingshan person's name stamp. After that, whether you joined the Outer Mountain Sect or became a member of top-ranking universities such as Taiqing and Hailie, It means there is a smooth road ahead.

So Wang Luo nodded and gave important instructions. "This guy is nice."

Shi Yue said: "As long as the mountain owner is satisfied, he is my tenant. His name is Zhao Xiuwen. He is 18 years old and is studying in a work-study program to prepare for the Rongcheng Academy exam."

As a tour guide, Shi Yue's business was undoubtedly a failure, but his professional ability was indeed impeccable. He filled in the important information in just one sentence.

And just as he finished speaking, the courtyard door was pushed open from the inside, and a simple young face with thick eyebrows and big eyes appeared in view.

If it weren't for the bustling neon lights of the upper city of Rongcheng that were reflected from top to bottom, Zhao Xiuwen's face would be so glitzy that his dark face would almost melt into the night.

Zhao Xiuwen looked happy when he saw Shi Yue, and his two rows of white teeth almost glowed by themselves. But before he could say hello, he was even more surprised when he saw Wang Luo.

“Damn, he’s so handsome, is he your boyfriend?”

The smile that Shi Yue had just put on suddenly solidified: "Zhao Xiuwen, you are sick again! Is the rent too low?"

Zhao Xiuwen quickly shrank his head: "Sorry, sorry, I just finished talking to my girlfriend, and I'm still a little obsessed with romance. Everyone I see is a talented man and a beautiful woman... So who is this one?"

Shi Yue glanced at Wang Luo and said, "The new tenants are my...distant relatives."

Zhao Xiuwen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he consciously ignored the obviously sincere remarks about "distant relatives". He cupped his hands and said with a smile: "The new tenant is the new neighbor. We are destined to meet each other. I am Zhao Xiuwen, and I live in the east. Xiangfang, my hometown is in Nanxiang, I came to Rongcheng to study, and now I work at 'Lao Hong's Home Cooking', come to me at night, I can give you free side dishes!"

Wang Luo also cupped his hands: "Wang Luo, a local cultivator in Lingzhou."

Wang Luo's introduction was brief, and Zhao Xiuwen didn't care at all. He laughed and said, "Brother, you came just in time. I was preparing to make supper. Today, Lao Hong is very grand. He gave us who work the night shift a bit of trouble. I added I bought some discounted pork belly with the money, and asked Lao Hong for a pot of old soup, so we just happened to build a stew pot."

Shi Yue frowned: "Are you going crazy if you eat braised pork so late at night?"

As he said this, his saliva began to secrete subconsciously, and his stomach and intestines even began to wriggle faster, as if the food he had eaten at Liji Roast Pork earlier were all fake.

In fact, for those who have very solid basic skills, practice diligently on weekdays, or are busy at work, the regular three meals a day are not enough. However, some people can afford to eat extra meals, and some people cannot. Just get up.

Therefore, Zhao Xiuwen did not take Shi Yue's insincere words seriously and smiled: "Although Lao Hong occasionally uses cheap meat and sells some cheap dishes, this pot of old soup never cuts corners. It has been on the rise in the past two months. After eating Rongcheng’s late-night snacks, the taste is beyond words.”

Shi Yue swallowed and couldn't help but murmured: "Well, it would be a pity to miss it."

Wang Luo asked curiously: "Late night snack law?"

Shi Yue explained: "It is a law that makes late-night snacks more delicious. Three months ago, in order to promote catering, the Department of Culture and Tourism, in conjunction with the Department of Regulation, issued a law for late-night snacks. By September, all night cooking in the city will have A certain flavor bonus.”

"Does the Great Law still care about this?"

Zhao Xiuwen smiled and said: "Everything in heaven and on earth is covered, and it is the great law to do nothing."

Shi Yue added calmly: "The bottom class is not included, and the poor are not included. The midnight snack law covers the whole city of Rongcheng, but does not include Shijie. Lao Hong took advantage of the midnight snack law, but he was careful to be punished by people from Tsing Yi."

Zhao Xiuwen's smile turned bitter and said, "Sister Yue, don't be so cynical. The great law also relies on manpower to perfect it step by step."

Shi Yue added: "More than 200 years ago, Shijie could still enjoy the protection of the law. Thanks to your lawyers, who have perfected it step by step, now people in Shijie can only see the great law when they are issued a ticket."

Zhao Xiuwen was completely speechless: "Let's eat first..."

Of course, Shi Yue was just complaining, and immediately restrained his cynicism and swallowed again: "It's late at night, be careful not to affect other tenants."

Zhao Xiuwen smiled and said: "Don't worry, Sister Fan and Uncle Qin are not here tonight, we will cook in the courtyard!"

After saying that, the young worker hurried back to prepare supper.

Shi Yue led Wang Luo past the courtyard gate, around a screen wall that had been polished by time, and then through another slightly lower door, and saw the inner courtyard surrounded by four wing rooms, with a tree A low but lush tree stood in the middle of the courtyard. With Shi Yue's arrival, two supple branches hung down, like a young girl welcoming guests.

Wang Luo couldn't help but nod. This is a housekeeper tree. Its branches, leaves and roots each have magical powers. A tree is like a diligent housekeeper. It can keep a house clean. It is not magical, but it is very practical. plant.

At this time, Zhao Xiuwen was setting up a pot under the tree.He first took out a large cooking pot from the room that was well maintained despite its age and was shiny with silver. Then he placed an iron frame underneath. Finally, he took out a yellow book from his arms, tore off a piece of talisman paper and put it on the Under the iron frame.

Several pillars of fire as thick as fingers jumped out from the paper, instantly burning the pot red, causing a delicate crimson pattern to appear on the wall of the pot.

Wang Luo took a look and recognized that it was a very high-precision magic weapon carving. As long as it was infused with firepower, it could activate magical powers on its own. As for the efficacy of magical powers...

Uniform heating, uniform stirring, impurity removal, spiritual circulation... At a glance, there are no fewer than five or six kinds. Although they are all simple and simple magical powers, they are all practical, and multiple superpositions do not interfere with each other. This involves The extremely sophisticated casting and carving design of the magical artifacts.

But this is just a cheap cooking pot for poor people.

The ingredients have already been prepared in the pot, including water, five slices of pork belly, a few pieces of chopped white flour, and the old soup that Zhao Xiuwen praised highly. When the fire comes, the broth in the pot boils, and the aroma suddenly overflows.

Zhao Xiuwen sniffed while placing the dishes and chopsticks, shook his head and said regretfully: "It's such a pity that Sister Fan and Uncle Qin are not here."

Shi Yue said: "Sister Fan can't eat greasy food, and Uncle Qin doesn't like this Rongcheng specialty. If they are here, I won't allow you to boil water in the yard in the middle of the night."

Then, Shi Yue explained the origins of these people to Wang Luo.

In the courtyard of Shifu, three of the four wing rooms have been rented out. The one who rented the east wing was Zhao Xiuwen, while the one who rented the west wing was a woman named Fan Li.

"Sister Fan is older than the two of us. She is a top student at Rongcheng Academy. She specializes in calligraphy and painting. Now she is making original paintings for a workshop that makes Taixu scrolls. She often works overtime in the dark. Since she rented a Western room, and slept in the workshop for two days out of three days.”

Zhao Xiuwen sighed after hearing this: "So every time I think about Sister Fan, I can't help but feel discouraged - even if I try my best to get into Rongcheng Academy, which is known as one of the top ten in the world, will I end up being rolled up like an animal? I am a work-study student. , many people say it’s hard, but compared with Sister Fan, my life is still too comfortable.”

The person who rented the south house was Qin Yu, known as Uncle Qin.

Shi Yue said: "Uncle Qin is a native of Rongcheng. He used to live in Shuyuan Street, but his middle age was rough and he ended up living in my family. Now he works as a janitor in a meat factory on Stone Street... He still has a good personality. "

Zhao Xiuwen also agreed: "Uncle Qin is really nice. He often shares his welfare meat in the factory with us." While talking, the broth in the pot was cooked. Zhao Xiuwen scooped up three bowls and divided them between the two of them. Asked: "Speaking of which, where does Wang Luo want to live? Is there no room available in this courtyard?"

As soon as Shi Yue picked up the bowl, his movements froze.

She really didn't think much about this issue, or in other words, the experience of this day didn't give her any time to think about how she should entertain Wang Luo, the master of Lingshan Mountain who should have died 1000 years ago!I didn't even realize how to deal with him after receiving him home so smoothly!

Fortunately, Shi Yue responded quickly and immediately replied: "Isn't there a back room behind the north room that is used as a warehouse?"

Zhao Xiuwen was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to the north. Behind the north wing, there was indeed a narrow courtyard and a hut the same size as a latrine.

Are you going to let your boyfriend live in the warehouse?
Before Zhao Xiuwen asked the question, the next moment, Shi Yue gritted his teeth and said: "I will live in the back room, and the north room will be given to Wang Luo."

"Holy shit!" Zhao Xiuwen could hardly hold the bowl, "Beifang gave in, and you still said he is not your boyfriend! Oh no, real boyfriends should live together, so he is your ex-boyfriend?"

Shi Yue had no choice. After all, she recognized Wang Luo as the owner of her mountain. She couldn't live in the main house while the mountain protector lived in the storehouse, right?

At this time, Wang Luo said: "The back room is nice. I like it very much. I don't need to take care of it. Just leave me a place to stand."

Shi Yue said quickly: "How can that be done? I'd better move it!"

Wang Luo didn't argue anymore, just fixed his gaze on the back room and nodded lightly.

Shi Yue was helpless: "Okay, as long as you don't dislike it."

Zhao Xiuwen swallowed a mouthful of Wuhua, looked at the two people strangely, and then speculated: "The relationship between you two is definitely not an ordinary boyfriend and girlfriend... I understand! My dear! The ancestors of the Wang Luo family treat you very much." The family is kind, but now it has suffered a sudden change. Wang Luo has nowhere to live, so he comes to you with a baby marriage contract made a hundred years ago! You don't take the marriage seriously, but the family's kindness is still there, and the Wang Luo brothers are It’s not bad, so you said he was a distant relative and invited him to your home!”

Shi Yue was holding the bowl in one hand, but the chopsticks in the other hand fell to the ground. Her jaw was a little stiff, or her whole face was a little stiff.

Zhao Xiuwen's imagination is simply unbelievable!
If she hadn't just experienced an even more incredible rebirth of the Lord of the Spirit Mountain, then Zhao Xiuwen's imagination would be the most incredible she's ever seen in this year.

But after the dull moment, Shi Yue couldn't help but think of it.

Although this idea is outrageous, it’s actually not bad at all!At least it’s more believable than the idea of ​​the Mountain Lord coming back from the dead!Now that Wang Luo's true identity cannot be revealed to the public, and he is worrying about how to forge a new identity, Zhao Xiuwen actually comes to him with an idea!
However, at this moment, Wang Luo spoke.

"Strictly speaking, I am now her boss, the 84th generation master of Lingshan."

Zhao Xiuwen was halfway through his second mouthful of doubaobao. To his surprise, the full soup in the doubaobuba was squeezed directly into his trachea.

Shi Yue almost turned over the bowl in his hand and was stunned.

Wang Luo continued calmly: "I am a cultivator in the old immortal calendar era. When the catastrophe came, I retreated in the Dingling Hall of Lingshan Mountain and survived by chance. After that, I slept for thousands of years. I just woke up this morning."

Zhao Xiuwen was still coughing - he had obviously achieved great success in building the foundation, and had improved both internally and externally, but at this moment he was choked on a mouthful of broth and couldn't breathe for a long time.

Shi Yue was still stunned.

"Fortunately, I met a descendant of the Hushan family not long after I woke up. They brought me all the way to Rong City, where I saw the prosperity of the new world... and ate delicious midnight snacks."

At this time, Zhao Xiuwen finally stopped coughing and looked at Wang Luo with extremely complicated eyes, and then looked at Shi Yue.

"Sister Yue, you are not crazy because of debt, so you believe any liar, right? Xiaolu told me, never believe what a handsome guy says, the more handsome the man, the more likely he is to lie!"

Shi Yue sighed and said nothing.

Strictly speaking, even if she has experienced so much in this day, even if her rationality and sensibility have accepted Wang Luo's identity, at this moment, she really can't think of how to explain to Zhao Xiuwen, a person who should have been dead for thousands of years. Man, suddenly resurrected.

Wang Luo said, "But you actually already believe half of it in your heart."

Zhao Xiuwen couldn't help but laugh: "Why should I believe your outrageous story!?"

Shi Yue also wondered why Wang Luo was so confidant to Zhao Xiuwen and talked about his bizarre life experience without even a hint of foreshadowing skills. He was not so straightforward with her as a mountain protector!
Just because someone complimented you on how handsome you are? !
At this time, Wang Luo stared closely into Zhao Xiuwen's eyes and said: "You cultivate both internally and externally, especially the tempering of the soul. Of the [-]% of your daily efforts, [-]% should be spent on tempering the soul."

Zhao Xiuwen was stunned again: "Are you telling fortunes?"

Wang Luo added: "But your talent is not there. You are more proficient in physical training than magical powers. Even if you deliberately slack off your daily physical training in order to balance your internal and external attainments, it is still clear where your talent lies."

Zhao Xiuwen was really stunned this time: "Damn it, you can figure this out!?"

"This isn't divination, it's common sense."

"Common sense?" Zhao Xiuwen became increasingly puzzled.

"Remember what you called me when we first met?"

Zhao Xiuwen recalled it and asked uncertainly: "Handsome guy?"

Shi Yue sprayed: "Is it really because of the handsome guy!?"

Wang Luo nodded: "Because normal people wouldn't call me that."

“…admirable self-awareness.”

Wang Luo smiled: "So Zhao Xiuwen likes me not because of my good-looking facial features."

Shi Yue objectively commented: "If you dress up a little, you can still be a bit handsome...but if it's not because of your face, why?"

Wang Luo stretched out his hand and pointed at his collarbone and chest: "My physical body embodies the supreme mystery of physical cultivation. Ordinary people may be blinded and unable to see the truth, but for those who have good qualifications in physical cultivation, The contours of my body, every inch of exposed skin and flesh, are consistent with the laws of nature and are of supreme beauty. The better the physical qualifications, the more beautiful the natural Taoist body will be. When Zhao Xiuwen met me, he exclaimed that he was handsome, which showed that he had extraordinary qualifications. "

Shi Yue was dumbfounded: "How can you win over me? You praise others but don't forget to brag about yourself..."

On the other side, Zhao Xiuwen seemed to turn a deaf ear, his eyes only fixed on Wang Luo.

Wang Luo said calmly: "As for physical cultivation, truth cannot be expressed in words. Back then, the immortal 'Xiao Yijun' who reached the upper world in his physical body and soared through the sky once had a famous saying that spread throughout Kyushu."

"It's physical cultivation, let your body speak."

After saying this, Wang Luo's spiritual thoughts were running, and the Yun Shang plain clothes on his upper body naturally slipped from his shoulders and reached his waist, revealing his natural Taoist body with flawless lines and as clear as jade.

"Change……"

Shi Yue's perverted cry was still stuck in his throat, but on the other side, Zhao Xiuwen had already made a loud noise, and his nosebleeds spurted all over the floor!
