I have a magical tree

After saying goodbye to his teacher, Xu Dao walked on the way home, thinking about things as he walked.

What he saw today made him feel uncertain. The master's wife left this place, not just to go back to visit relatives. If only the master's wife left alone, he might believe it.

He didn't believe that so many officials' families all went to visit relatives, and they walked all the way. Moreover, it was still early in the new year, and there was no special festival near this time of year. It didn't look like a day for visiting relatives at all.

The elders' birthdays could be an excuse, but it was impossible for so many officials' families and elders to celebrate their birthdays together.

Xu Dao didn't understand. He still knew too little information. At present, he only had a few words from his master and his wife at the dinner table, but the information revealed by those few words was extraordinary.

Ordinary people might not take it seriously, let alone think too much, but who let Xu Dao be an ordinary person?

But he still didn't understand why so many people had to leave Yanghe County? The key lies in the word "must"!

There must be some reasons for leaving! Xu Dao intuitively felt that this matter might be very complicated and might be closely related to himself, but the conditions were insufficient at present and he could not comprehend the mystery.

And even if this matter concerned himself, it should not be so urgent, otherwise the teacher would not choose to cover it up.

"There are so many things!" Xu Dao shook off the chaotic thoughts in his mind and thought about it. He found that he still had a lot to do.

First, the breakthrough in cultivation is not only the real martial arts practice of oneself, but also the realm manifested externally should change.

Second, regarding medical skills, he must continue to work hard. The alchemy skills in the hands of the teacher must be learned. That is the way to make money!

Third, he must continue to find ways to collect strange energy and light up the bronze giant tree, and he wants to see what the effect of lighting up the first branch is.

Fourth, secretly investigate who the spy of the Demon Suppression Department is, find the threat, and eliminate the threat.

Finally, he has to continue to go to the surrounding areas of the county. As his strength becomes stronger and stronger, his range of activities can be further expanded. As the place where he has lived for many years, he must have enough investigation and familiarity. So as to avoid panic when the time comes.

So far, he has never really come into contact with such a creature as a demon, but just from the casualties of several soldiers, he knows that this thing is really terrible.

But he thinks he should know in advance, and be prepared to avoid trouble. The demon will not find him just because he hides.

He thought all the way back home, but he didn't stay at home for long. He just had breakfast, took out gold and silver from home, and came to the inner square. He was going to find a new place to stay here today.

This was planned a long time ago. Although the demon that was wreaking havoc in the city had been killed, he still decided to buy a place as a retreat.

He first found the house and put forward his needs. Soon a broker came out to receive him.

"This lord, please have tea!" The broker's pupils shrank when he saw the official robe on Xu Dao.

To be honest, these people actually want to deal with officials, but they are afraid of dealing with such people. Although these people have money in their hands, they really want to buy once they come to the door.

However, it is not easy to offend officials, and you dare not make too much money. Once you ask for a high price and offend these people, you will be skinned alive even if you don’t die.

Xu Dao took a sip of tea and put down the cup.

"Sir, do you want to buy a house?"

Xu Dao nodded.

"Do you have any requirements for the location?"

Xu Dao pondered for a moment, "As long as it is in the inner square."

"What about the size?"

"Enough for a family of three to live in." Xu Dao actually did not have a specific and clear understanding of the housing prices in the inner square.

"Oh, then the small courtyard at the entrance is enough." The broker nodded, "What is your name, sir?"

"Xu Dao!"

"Hmm? Are you the disciple of Ge Yicheng of the Shangyi Bureau?"

"Exactly!"

The broker was suddenly speechless, "Then why did you come to our bank to find a house?"

Xu Dao was a little stunned, "What do you mean?"

Could it be that this house business has a grudge against the teacher?

Seeing Xu Dao puzzled, the broker explained: "The master's master has a house for sale. You came to me, it's completely out of your reach!"

"Ah?"

...

Xu Dao was speechless. Isn't the teacher a medicine seller? Now he is involved in real estate? This is really... arrogant!

As soon as he walked out of the house, he saw a person waiting at the door. Xu Dao looked familiar. Isn't this the servant of the teacher's family?

"Master, the master asked you to go home!" The man was indeed from the teacher's house.

Xu Dao hurriedly followed and came to the teacher's house. He saw the teacher waiting in the front hall.

"You want to buy a house?" Before Xu Dao spoke, Ge Lao spoke first.

Xu Dao nodded, "I want to buy a place to stay in Neifang. Now the demons are rampant, I want to let my mother and younger sister live in Neifang, so that I can feel more at ease!"

"Yes!" Ge Lao nodded, "Neifang is indeed safer. Since you want a house, why don't you come to me?"

Xu Dao was speechless. How could he answer this? He could only say that he thought the teacher was just rich, but now it seems that he may be a little richer than rich!

"A Quan!" Ge Lao shouted directly, and the servant who had just led Xu Dao here immediately walked in.

"Master!"

"Go and clean up the house in the neighboring alley, and then give it to him!" Ge Lao pointed at Xu Dao.

Xu Dao quickly stood up, "Teacher, how much is that house?"

"Get out!"

Xu Dao was stunned for a moment after being scolded, and then he was half dragged out by Ah Quan.

"Master, it was the villain who told the master just now when he saw you entering the house!" Ah Quan whispered.

"Master has already given me a lot..."

Ah Quan said with a smile: "Young master, as my disciple, wants to find a place to live and goes to another house to buy it. If outsiders find out, it will poke my spine!"

Indeed, in this era, the meaning of the master-disciple relationship is different. A disciple is like a son, and a master is like a father.

"But I really didn't know beforehand."

"I understand, the young master is not the kind of greedy person. The master does not give houses to everyone." Ah Quan led Xu Dao into a house in a neighboring lane.

This place is not far from the teacher's residence, only a few hundred steps away.

And when Xu Dao opened the door and took a look, his heart skipped a beat, "This... this is too big!"

This is a huge mansion with three entrances! He was afraid of three people living in a house with three entrances!

"Is there anyone smaller? This house can't be lived in. Three people will be in a panic!"

Ah Quan was also stunned, and thought for a while, "There is a small one nearby, with two courtyards, and it is quite spacious for a family of three to live in!"

"Go over and have a look!" Xu Dao turned around and left. Are you kidding? There are three people living in such a big house, and he is afraid of being haunted. If he wanted to live in a place like this and be popular, he would probably have to find a dozen servants and maids. The key was that he couldn't afford them!
