I changed the world

However, this illusion did not really happen. The power seed that had been combined with him miraculously swallowed up the excess energy and fed it back, forming some relatively mild energy. Although it was still powerful, it was It is already within the range that the body can accept.

Four hours passed in a flash, and finally, Zhang Jing slowly opened his eyes.

He let out a long breath and stood up from the stone. However, he failed to control his strength when standing up, causing him to jump up nearly one meter high before landing on the ground.

"This is..." Zhang Jing's eyes widened. The next moment, he jumped with all his strength. This time, his whole body was more than two meters above the ground like pulling onions on dry land. This was not like a high jumper with his body sideways and his butt off the ground. Height, but the height of the soles of the feet from the ground!

Chapter 21 Sudden increase in food intake

Feeling the powerful physical power in his body, Zhang Jing subconsciously punched the air twice, feeling the sound of the air breaking, and a smile appeared on his face.

He raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was already 17:25, and it was time to go back.

Zhang Jing once again took out the Dongtian Jade Tablet from the inner pocket of his clothes, and then tentatively inserted a trace of his spiritual thoughts into it.

Spiritual thoughts are a bit mysterious to talk about, and before they are obtained through practice, ordinary people cannot feel their existence. However, when Zhang Jing completed the foundation building, he naturally had the ability to use divine thoughts, as if The wings of a flying bird are like a fish swimming, it is an indescribable instinct.

According to Zhang Jing's rough understanding, this is more like some kind of extended ability that appears after spiritual development reaches a certain level.

Sure enough, when he used his spiritual mind to explore the jade tablet, he felt a lot of information that could not be perceived with the naked eye. In his perception, there was some kind of illusory line extending from the jade tablet, crossing the space, and exploring the underworld. some point in.

Zhang Jing then probed his mind and tried to touch the line.The next moment, he disappeared.

..............................

"Huh..." The feeling of traveling through space always makes people feel uncomfortable. Zhang Jing, who appeared in the rental house again, took a long breath. However, after the previous experience, he was much calmer this time.

It was already dark now, and through the window you could see the dark sky outside.Zhang Jing casually picked up the water glass on the table, poured a glass of boiling water, and drank it down.

He had not eaten since breakfast today, and now his stomach was already empty.However, although he was hungry, his body did not feel exhausted. On the contrary, he felt that his physical condition was better than ever before, and even the soreness caused by yesterday's excessive exercise had disappeared. This was obviously the reason for this. The changes brought about by practicing the foundation-building method "Ten Thousand Rivers Converging to the Sea".

After cooking a pot of rice in the rice cooker, Zhang Jing looked at the time and decided to go out and buy some cooked food.

After changing into casual clothes and going out, Zhang Jing saw several young people wearing leather jackets, bare arms, and tattoos on their arms talking loudly and laughing, riding electric motorcycles through the street.There was a speaker installed on the back seat of the motorcycle, and a certain rock song was playing unscrupulously.

Zhang Jing frowned slightly and walked along the roadside as much as possible, letting these people pass.These young people are all gangsters, mostly children from poor families. Many young people cannot find any good jobs after dropping out of school, and they are not willing to work part-time to earn a living like their parents did. So he simply joined the gang.Most of these gangs are engaged in industries such as happy fans, loan sharks, and shopping malls. Compared with Zhang Jing's previous life, gangs in this world are more open.

Most of the pedestrians who came and went kept a respectful distance from these young people, but these young people were quite proud of it, and they talked and laughed more happily, giving them a sense of déjà vu.

Listening to the receding rock music behind him, Zhang Jing came to a stew shop not far from his home. The stall was very simple. It was a modified two-wheeled trolley. You could put it away and push it away.The stall owner is an old man whose age is unclear, with a slight hunchback. He is stirring something in a huge iron bucket on the coal stove. The red oil is rolling in the iron bucket, exuding an alluring fragrance.This stall specializes in selling pigs and cows. It has been there for decades. The price is affordable and the taste is good. Many families from the surrounding area will come here if they have extra money.

"Old man, this, this... and this." Zhang Jing walked to the stall and picked a piece of braised pig ear, then a half-cooked large intestine, and finally a large piece of beef.

The old man nodded, silently grabbed the stewed ones selected by Zhang Jing, put them on the chopping board and cut them quickly: "Do you want to mix them?"

"You want it, less spicy." Smelling the aroma of the food, Zhang Jing swallowed and felt more and more hungry.

After swiping the mobile phone code to pay, Zhang Jing returned to his rental house carrying more than two kilograms of stewed rice. At this time, the rice in the rice cooker was not ready yet. Zhang Jing put down the food, sat down at the desk, and used his mobile phone Opened his email.

As he expected, there were three emails lying in the mailbox. In addition to two spam emails, one of the emails sent this morning was from the intermediary of the "Dr. Fang" website.

After opening the email and exchanging pleasantries, the agent introduced that he had searched for information on four houses according to Zhang Jing's request and had put them in the attachment. He was asked to take a look at them when he had time.If you are not satisfied with anything, please tell him and he will continue to look for it.

Zhang Jing's requirements are not very high. The main requirements are: the house should be spacious, with independent space, a relatively spacious yard, not in a downtown area, the surrounding environment should be quiet, and the privacy should be good.At the same time, it is also required to take into account the security situation and cost-effectiveness. After all, Zhang Jing does not want his home to be robbed every day.

Because he has the original memory of his body, Zhang Jing knows that the real estate in this world is different from the Chinese country in his previous life.In the previous life, public services in the city were provided by the government and subsidized by the state. Therefore, whether it was a luxury house or a small house, the public services enjoyed by them, such as police, communications, water supply, etc., were roughly the same, at least there would be no essential difference. .

But this world is different. The public services enjoyed by a community are directly related to the paying ability of community residents. This is somewhat similar to some Western countries in the past.Therefore, in wealthy areas and certain communities where the middle class gathers, people can enjoy better public services and public security, while in slum areas, there are only the most basic public services, and even the most basic ones may not be available. , essentially, in this world, public services are also a commodity.

Therefore, now that he has money, Zhang Jing does not want to wrong himself too much.

Zhang Jing clicked on the email attachment and browsed through it, but he became interested in one of the properties.Looking at the picture attached to the information, it is a traditional building with the style of the southern water town of Jozhao. According to the information, this building is located in the western suburbs of Linzhou City. It was originally built by the old owner for retirement. The house is spacious and has a traditional two-entry courtyard layout. There is a courtyard and a fish pond in front of the house, and there is also a part of the land behind the house.The room is fully equipped with water, electricity, furniture, internet and even a parking space, so you can move in with your bags.

Zhang Jing thought for a while, called the agent, and made an appointment to go see the house together tomorrow morning.

At this time, the rice cooker buzzed and the rice in the pot was ready.Zhang Jing hurriedly closed the screen of his mobile phone, served himself a bowl of rice, placed the braised vegetables he just bought on the table, added some kimchi he had picked, and started eating.

What was different from usual was that this dinner, he replenished the rice five times and ate up the two kilograms of stewed rice in the pot, which made him feel full.

Zhang Jing looked at the empty bowls on the table with some unfinished thoughts. Zhang Jing guessed that this must be a sequelae of spiritual practice. It seemed that he had the tendency to become a big eater...

Chapter 22 The new house by Yunhu Lake

At nine o'clock in the morning the next day, Zhang Jing and the real estate agent met at an appointed subway entrance in the west of the city.

"Is it Mr. Zhang? Nice to meet you!" The intermediary was a young man in a suit with short, refreshing hair and a smile on his face. He greeted Zhang Jing enthusiastically.

The term "sir" was originally a respectful title for scholars with a certain status. However, since the spread of Western learning in this world, this title has gradually been generalized. Nowadays, ordinary people often call each other "sir" when interacting, especially in the past 30 years. increasingly civilianized.

"My surname is He, He Zhou. Mr. Zhang can just call me Xiao He."

"Mr. He, you're welcome." Zhang Jing returned the greeting and said with a smile, "Then let's set off first and chat while walking?"

"My car is over there, Mr. Zhang, go this way..." He Zhou hurriedly reached out and pointed to the side of the road.

There was a small white electric car of "Feiyan" brand parked on the roadside. Zhang Jing opened the passenger seat and sat on it, and the car started immediately...

The terrain of Linzhou City is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces a river on one side. The Yunhu Lake Scenic Area in the city is one of the well-known tourist destinations in China. Initially, the entire city was built near the lake, making it extremely suitable for living.The hilly area to the west of the city borders the Yunhu Scenic Area and is a famous tea producing area. The Longxu tea produced is one of the most famous green tea varieties in southern Jozhao.Coupled with the pleasant scenery, many wealthy families from well-off families have set up villas there for their cultivation.

Along the way, He Zhou further introduced Zhang Jing to the situation of the property. According to He Zhou, the property was currently vacant because the old owner died of illness not long ago.Due to business reasons, his son has lived in the capital for many years and rarely returns to Linzhou, so he plans to rent it out.Because someone just died, the rent is much cheaper than ordinary ones. The current monthly rent is 4000 yuan.

To be honest, this rent has exceeded Zhang Jing's previous psychological price. However, judging from the several pictures provided by He Zhou, he is still quite excited about this property.As for money, since he already had some plans in mind, he wasn't too worried.

About 15 minutes later, the car left the main road and drove onto the mountainous section. Since this is a tourist area, the road is still very well maintained. There is a flat asphalt road in the middle and sidewalks on both sides. From time to time, you can see some backpackers walking .

Zhang Jing looked out the window. From time to time, he could see large tea gardens on both sides of the road. This area has become the core production area of ​​Longxu tea.

About 10 minutes later, the car slowly slowed down and finally stopped on the side of the road.The two got out of the car, and Zhang Jing noticed that there were some villas scattered around here, with different shapes, and they were obviously not developed at the same time.

"This area belongs to Yunshanfang, Yunhu District. Except for some wealthy tea farmers, most of the surrounding houses were built by themselves after buying land." He Zhou saw Zhang Jing observing the surroundings and introduced: "Most of them are from well-off families. I come here occasionally for leisure, so it’s generally quiet here and the security is very good.”

"Some distinguished gentry and nobles have also purchased property here, so Mr. Zhang, you have really good vision. Please..."

........................

While complimenting, He Zhou led Zhang Jing aside.Not far away is a traditional building surrounded by Chinese-style white walls. Over the white walls, you can see the elegant Chinese-style cornices.

The two of them came to a red double door and stopped. There were two pine trees planted on both sides of the door. Above it was a door eaves covered with black tiles that could shelter from the rain. Zhang Jing paid attention. Under the door eaves. The beams and columns also have wood carvings, and the workmanship is very exquisite.

"This is the main entrance. If you have a car, you can go in directly from the side door. There is a parking space there." The agent said, taking out the key and unlocking the door.

The rental of this house is currently entrusted by the landlord to He Zhou's company. The landlord himself, as introduced by He Zhou on the road, returned to the capital after handling his father's affairs.

In fact, this is also the norm for many mid- to high-priced rentals in the world, and homeowners usually entrust an agent to handle it.As for houses like Zhang Jing's current residence, most of them are rented directly by the landlord because both parties to the lease are sensitive to price.

After entering the gate, you are the first to enter the outer courtyard. The ground of the spacious courtyard is paved with green bricks. Some green bamboos, wintersweets, tiger palms and some plants that Zhang Jing may or may not know are planted in different locations. Some rockeries are dotted among them. , creating a typical oriental aesthetic that is obviously carefully designed.

On one side of the gate is the reverse room, which is a house in Chinese-style architecture where ordinary guests are welcomed.The two of them went in and took a look. It was decorated in a Chinese style, with tables and chairs all made of elm wood, and the craftsmanship was quite exquisite.

The two of them continued inward. After passing through the outer courtyard, there was a screen wall with flower windows. In the middle of the screen wall, facing the door of the house, was a hanging flower door.

Passing through the hanging flower gate is a larger inner courtyard, which is also decorated with rockeries and green plants. There are two tall osmanthus trees in the middle that are very conspicuous.

There is a fish pond about four meters square on one side of the courtyard. A stone faucet embedded in the wall of the fish pond is spitting out gurgling water. There are some large stones arranged on the edge of the fish pond, mixed with some various plants.

"When this fish pond was originally built, the water from the mountain stream outside was diverted, and the water inlet and outlet were preset, so under normal circumstances there is no need for additional filtering maintenance. Of course, space for placing the filter is also reserved." He Zhou lost no time in introducing it.

Around the inner courtyard, there are east and west wing rooms, east and west wing rooms, and the main room. They generally follow the traditional architectural structure and are overall exquisite and elegant.

Zhang Jing followed He Zhou around the houses. The decoration of these rooms still added a lot of modern elements and did not completely use the traditional style. However, it also increased a lot of comfort. The interior materials were exquisite and the overall appearance was beautiful. In other words, Zhang Jing was quite satisfied.

During this period, Zhang Jing also asked about the death of the original owner. According to He Zhou, it was because of the rain last month that the old man accidentally slipped and fell on his head in the outer courtyard. When his family members in the inner courtyard found out, he had passed away.

Passing through the main house, there is a backyard at the back. There is a side door on one side of the backyard, which allows cars to drive in and park directly. At the same time, the backyard is connected to the back mountain, and there are stone steps that can be climbed up.

Seeing that Zhang Jing was quite satisfied, He Zhou simply took Zhang Jing up the hillside and walked about [-] meters. There was a viewing platform above, surrounded by stone fences, paved with stone slabs on the ground, and built on the platform. It is a wooden pavilion with black tiles and red paint. There are stone tables and stools in the pavilion. There is a plaque hanging on the pavilion with the words "Shuo Ren Pavilion" written on it.

"He's the one who got the exam. He's the culprit of a great man." Zhang Jing looked at the plaque, nodded and said with a smile, "What a good name."

"Mr. Zhang, you are really an elegant man." He Zhou said with a smile: "It is not easy to find a house like this."

PS: Well...someone asked Heiyue what he has been doing in the past eight years. Of course it was...working. (?゜▽゜)ノBecause working full time will really make you starve to death, so I am writing this quietly after get off work.

Also, um... everyone urged me to write slowly.There are so many things to consider in this article that it is difficult to write. In addition, Black Moon is a text-based subject, including architecture, clothing, character titles, national systems, and history. I have carefully checked the information, and some plots have been deleted in several editions. , if it weren’t for some saved manuscripts, it would be almost impossible to uncover the pot.It's fun to write randomly, but it won't be very embarrassing if it breaks down. After all, many plots require consideration of historical situations...

Finally, I would like to thank the book friends E Ye Wei Ke, Huo Huo Huo, Shu Ke 71668702979, Qi Yao, Record, Renfeng Yao Shu Ke 27669221010, and Nine Turns of Spring and Autumn Cicada for their rewards.

By the way, there will be more later today~

Chapter 23 The rising social class

Zhang Jing stands on the railing. From here, you can overlook the tea garden in the distance, and the breeze blows gently, which is very pleasant.

"It's really good. I like it quite a lot." Zhang Jing nodded, turned back to He Zhou and said, "In that case, I decided to rent this place."

Zhang Jing knew in his heart that the rent of 4000 yuan was indeed relatively cheap for such a house. He had also checked the rents in the surrounding areas before. Normally, the rent for a similar house should be around 6000.And this is mainly because the house prices in this world are much cheaper than in the previous life. In the previous life, it would be difficult to rent such a house for less than [-] to [-] yuan.

"This is the best. Congratulations to Mr. Zhang for finding a suitable house." He Zhou looked delighted and said with a smile: "I brought the contract here. If it is convenient for Mr. Zhang, we can go down and go through the formalities in a while."

Zhang Jing was confident, so the two of them turned around and went down the mountain. After finally confirming the conditions of the water meter, electricity meter, gas meter, network, etc. and the property ownership certificate of the house, the two signed the contract in the main house and signed directly. For three years, Zhang Jing used his mobile phone payment to transfer 16000 yuan of Imperial Coin.

Afterwards, He Zhou handed over several keys to Zhang Jing and introduced to him the corresponding doors in detail.Since then, Zhang Jing has temporarily become the owner of this house.

After leaving the house, He Zhou diligently sent Zhang Jing back to the subway entrance where he had left. The two of them said goodbye to each other on the roadside next to the subway entrance.

The large advertising screen at the subway entrance is playing an image promotion advertisement of Genesis Aerospace Company. It is a scene of a huge planetary transport ship slowly leaving the orbital airport.

In the past century, with the rapid development of aerospace technology, a large amount of resources have poured into this industry, and the world economy has also experienced a long prosperity cycle. The entire aerospace and related industries have also become increasingly popular with the pursuit of funds. In full swing, it is conceivable that this extraordinary prosperity will continue for a long time in the future.

"An era of running..." Zhang Jing looked at the advertising screen and muttered.

In his opinion, in this era, compared to the earth in his previous life, due to the long-term lack of technological breakthroughs, limited living space, economic stagnation, and cruel zero-sum games between countries, the entire human race has at least overcome another danger. obstacles.

Linzhou's subway system is not very developed. Due to the high cost of building subways, the subway company has only laid subway lines on the most prosperous main roads, while relatively remote locations need to be reached through bus stations.

Therefore, after taking the subway for seven stops, Zhang Jing changed to a bus. On the way home, he stopped by and bought 8 large meat buns at a bun shop.

After returning to the rental house, Zhang Jing devoured the steamed buns first, and then called the landlord to tell him about the cancellation of the rent. The landlord was a middle-aged woman named Wang, who lived next door to Zhang Jing and was the real owner of the house. An aborigine, there are five rental houses in the slums, and this is also the landlord's family's largest source of income. She is a typical housewife.

After asking a few questions, Zhang Jing said that he had a better job and wanted to change to a better house.The landlord didn't say anything more and just congratulated him.In addition, according to the contract, Zhang Jing's rent is one deposit and one payment, and the contract is signed once a year. If the rent is canceled before the expiration of the contract, the deposit will be deducted to give the landlord time to find a new tenant.At this point, Zhang Jing did not bother much and agreed to follow the contract.

Knowing that Zhang Jing was at home now, the landlord came to the door quickly. After checking the situation in the house, the landlord directly completed the rent return procedure with Zhang Jing. Zhang Jing said that he would be able to move out completely before the end of this week. .

After seeing off the landlord, Zhang Jing locked the door, sat down on the bed, formed mudra on his hands, and started today's practice.

This was his second practice. As the saying goes, one day of practice, one day of work. Even with the help of the wish book, Zhang Jing did not dare to slack off at all.

About three hours later, Zhang Jing opened his eyes and pondered in his heart. He felt that the effect of this practice was much worse than the first time.Although the existence of void can always be felt, overall, it is as if there is a layer of glass, so that the effect of practice has become much weaker.

Could it be that the cave itself has the effect of improving spiritual practice?Zhang Jing guessed that, after all, in the legend, the cave sky was originally the residence of immortals to practice, so it is not surprising that it has such a function.Moreover, this is a question that is relatively easy to verify. Zhang Jing feels that he can determine the answer by just trying it a few times.

However, even if it is not as good as the first time, Zhang Jing can still feel that all aspects of the body's functions have become significantly stronger. In addition, there is also a gurgling feeling like water. In the magic formula, this phenomenon is called It is "Qi".It has to be said that the effectiveness of "Wanchuanhuihai" still exceeded his expectations.

After completing his practice, Zhang Jing started to tidy up his room. Although he could not be said to be impoverished, there really wasn't much worth mentioning in Zhang Jing's room. Most of them were bedding and clothing, and some of his parents' relics. , books, various documents, various sundries, as for some simple furniture and furnishings, Zhang Jing is not going to take them away. They do not match the style of the new house, and there are better ones in the new house.

***

Early the next morning, Zhang Jing went outside and found a "caravan" to move the house.This is a small van that is very common in slum areas. It is much narrower than ordinary cars, making it very suitable for the narrow streets of slums.

"Brother Jing, what's the matter? Are you moving?" A neighbor's sister-in-law who was washing clothes at the door asked when she saw Zhang Jing and the driver moving boxes to the car.

"Yeah, I'm moving and looking for a new house." Zhang Jing responded with a smile.

"Oh? Where are you moving to?"

"It's in the west of the city, it's bigger than here."

"Oh, Brother Jing is really..." When the sister-in-law heard this, she wiped her hands on her apron, stood up and took a few steps closer: "I said at the beginning that Brother Jing is the only one who has a bright future in this area! "

"Mom, what's going on?" A half-grown child with a runny nose poked his head out of the door after hearing his mother's words at the door.

"Huzi, come here, your brother Jing is going to move out. I tell you, you should study hard, learn from your brother Jing, and move out in the future!" For the residents of the slums, being able to move out of the slums, Just like a carp leaping over a dragon's gate, it is equivalent to a change in life class.

"Thank you, thank you..." Zhang Jing hurriedly raised his hands and said politely.

"Brother Jing, I have to say that this kid Hu Zi is not stupid at all, but his grades are always not up to par in the class. Look... why don't you give him a few words of advice?"

Looking at the neighbor's sister-in-law's earnest eyes, I sighed in my heart. I feel sorry for the parents in the world. No matter the Chinese country in the past life or the Dazhao in this life, there is a tradition of imperial examination system in history. Among the people, regardless of the virtuous, stupid, noble or humble, they all have the hope of studying to change their destiny. An unusual belief.

After all, he has lived here for nearly 5 years. Zhang Jing thought about it, and combined his previous life experience to give Hu Zi a few words of advice, and also poured some chicken soup at the same time. As for how much the child could finally listen to it. , then it depends on his luck.

After mentioning some things, Zhang Jing chatted a little more with the neighbor's sister-in-law. Seeing that the driver had already moved the remaining boxes, he excused himself as he didn't want to keep the car waiting for a long time, so he left.

After bidding farewell to mother and son, Zhang Jing climbed into the passenger seat and watched the vehicle slowly start.Looking at the chaotic, dirty but familiar scenes around him, Zhang Jing felt some inexplicable emotion in his heart.

He knew that he had fulfilled the greatest wish of the original owner of this body - to rise in social class.

PS: I saw some friends posting about asking what a lawyer is?Let me mention here that lawyer is the name given to litigants in ancient my country. In the article, it can be directly understood as lawyer.The same profession is called different names in different contexts. For example, in Hong Kong, a barrister is sometimes called a barrister.
