Am I the only one who didn't ascend?

Wang Luo felt that the mansion in front of him did have a kind of atmosphere that made him feel very familiar, but before he could take a closer look, he heard a very cheerful voice of a young man coming from the courtyard gate.

"Sister Yue is back!"

The voice in the courtyard was full of vitality, as if it had its own vitality. Wang Luo listened and naturally drew an image of a strong, lively and active young man in his mind.

He had abundant blood and essence, strong bones and flesh, and extraordinary physical training talent. The true essence flowed through his limbs like a spring. It was obvious that he cultivated both inside and outside, and had built a great foundation. He was only a little short of perfection and could start to condense the pill at any time. What was even more rare was that his soul also had a good attainment, like an invisible scattered pill, which swelled slightly with his breathing.

This kind of basic skills was only slightly inferior to Shi Yue, a mountain protector with a heritage, and was much stronger than the pretentious Li Dongyang.

In the old days, although you still can't be included in the Lingshan inspection list, you will most likely have the opportunity to earn a recommendation letter with the Lingshan seal. After that, whether you join the outer mountain gate or join the top-grade sects such as Taiqing and Hailie, it is equivalent to having a smoother path.

So Wang Luo nodded and gave important instructions. "This person is not bad."

Shi Yue said: "As long as the mountain master is satisfied, he is my tenant, named Zhao Xiuwen, 18 years old this year, working and studying, preparing for the Rongcheng Academy."

As a tour guide, Shi Yue's business is undoubtedly a failure, but her business ability is indeed impeccable. In just a few words, she filled in the important information.

As soon as the voice fell, the gate of the courtyard was pushed open from the inside, and a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, full of simplicity, appeared in the field of vision.

If it weren't for the prosperous neon lights of the upper city of Rongcheng, shining from top to bottom, Zhao Xiuwen's face was full of glitz, and his dark face was almost melted in the night.

Seeing Shi Yue, Zhao Xiuwen was delighted, his two rows of white teeth glowed by themselves, but before he could greet her, he was even more surprised when he saw Wang Luo.

"Fuck, so handsome, your boyfriend?"

Shi Yue's smile froze immediately: "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 am still a little romantic, and everyone I see is a handsome man and a beautiful woman... Then who is this?"

Shi Yue glanced at Wang Luo and said: "The new tenant is my... distant relative."

Zhao Xiuwen's eyes lit up immediately, and he consciously ignored the obviously insincere "distant relative" rhetoric, bowed his hands, and smiled: "New tenant, that is, new neighbor, meeting is fate, I am Zhao Xiuwen, living in the east wing, my hometown is in Nanxiang, I came to Rongcheng to study, and now Working at 'Lao Hong's Home Cooking', come to me at night and I can give you free side dishes!"

Wang Luo also bowed: "Wang Luo, a local practitioner in Lingzhou."

Wang Luo's introduction was brief, and Zhao Xiuwen didn't care at all. He laughed and said: "Brother, you came at the right time. I was preparing to make a midnight snack. Today, Lao Hong was very generous and gave us those working on the night shift a set of offal. I paid extra money to buy a portion of discounted pork belly and asked Lao Hong for a pot of old soup. We just had a pot of stew."

Shi Yue frowned: "Eating stewed meat late at night, are you crazy?"

That being said, saliva began to secrete subconsciously, and even the stomach and intestines began to move faster, as if what I had eaten at Li Ji's barbecue was fake.

In fact, for those who have a solid foundation, practice diligently on weekdays, or are busy with work, the regular three meals a day are not enough to fill them up. It's just that some people can afford to eat extra meals, while others can't.

So Zhao Xiuwen didn't take Shi Yue's insincere words seriously, and smiled: "Although Lao Hong occasionally uses cheap meat and sells some cheap vegetables, this pot of old soup is never cut corners. In the past two months, it has also been in the Rongcheng Night Snack Law, and the taste is absolutely amazing."

Shi Yue swallowed her saliva and couldn't help murmuring: "Well, it's a pity to miss it."

Wang Luo asked curiously: "Night Snack Law?"

Shi Yue explained: "It is a law that makes night snacks more delicious. Three months ago, the Wenyou Department cooperated with the Tuoling Department to promote catering and issued the Night Snack Law. Before September, night cooking in the city will have a certain taste bonus."

"The Great Law also regulates this?"

Zhao Xiuwen smiled: "Everything in the sky and on the ground is included, and nothing is ignored. This is the Great Law."

Shi Yue added calmly: "The lower class is not included, and the poor are not included. The Night Snack Law covers Rong The whole city, but not Shijie. Lao Hong got the night snack law, be careful that the people in blue clothes will come to settle accounts later. "

Zhao Xiuwen's smile turned bitter, and he said: "Sister Yue, don't be so cynical. The great law also needs to be improved step by step by manpower."

Shi Yue said again: "More than two hundred years ago, Shijie could still enjoy the protection of the law normally. Thanks to your mediation lawyers for improving it step by step. Now people in Shijie can only see the great law when they are fined."

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

Shi Yue was of course just complaining, and immediately restrained her cynicism and swallowed her saliva 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 start the pot in the yard!"

After that, the young worker hurriedly ran back to prepare a midnight snack.

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 carefully maintained despite its age and was shiny with silver. He then placed an iron frame underneath it. 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 less than five or six kinds. Although they are all simple and simple magical powers, they are all practical, and the multiple superpositions do not interfere with each other. This is It involves extremely sophisticated casting and carving design.

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

Ingredients have 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 divides his welfare meat in the factory between us."

While they were talking, the broth in the pot was already boiling. Zhao Xiuwen scooped out three bowls and distributed them to the two of them. Then he asked, "Speaking of which, where is Wang Luo going 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 a thousand years ago! I didn't even realize how to deal with it 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 and turned his head to the north. Behind the north wing, there was indeed a narrow rear courtyard and a small cabin 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. There is no need to take care of it. Just leave a place for me 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 the two of you is definitely not an ordinary boyfriend and girlfriend... I understand! Baby dear! The ancestors of the Wang Luo family treat you The family is kind, but now it has suffered a sudden change. Wang Luo has no place 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 still alive. 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 Spiritual Mountain, then Zhao Xiuwen's imagination would have been the most incredible she had seen in the year.

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

Although this idea is so bloody that it is unbelievable, it is actually not bad! 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 worried about how to forge a new identity, Zhao Xiuwen actually comes to his door 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 bean paste. To his surprise, the saturated soup in the bean paste 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 cultivated 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 100% of your daily efforts, 60% 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 is not divination, but 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-knowledge.”

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

Shi Yue commented objectively: "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 in line with the laws of nature, and are of supreme beauty. The better my physical fitness, the more beautiful my natural Taoist body will be. "

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 ascended through the sky once had a famous saying that spread throughout the 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 abnormal cry was still stuck in his throat, but Zhao Xiuwen on the other side had already made a loud noise, and his nosebleeds spurted all over the floor!
