Chapter 102 The Cruelty in the Cultivation World (Seventh Update)

"Ah, this..."

Ji Bo often looked at the locked door and listened to his sister-in-law's decisive tone, seeming to realize that he had been 'kicked out of the house'...

While thinking about how worried my sister-in-law was about finding a Taoist companion, I also secretly lamented that my image as an 'honest person' was too deceptive.

That’s it, that’s it~

He showed a knowing smile and shouted to the locked door: "Sister-in-law, then I will go to Baibao Pavilion to look for Yujing~"

After that, he turned around and left humming a little tune...

Before leaving Wuyi Alley, he seemed to have discovered something interesting, and his steps slowed down.

For some reason, most of the doors of the houses in Wuyi Alley are closed tightly. The key is that they have all withdrawn their formations...

This is a city, and it is normal for practitioners to live there. It is normal for the doors to be closed, but it is not normal for the formations to guard the homes and courtyards to be removed.

Indeed, there are some who have no way to arrange formations due to their declining family fortunes, just like the sisters-in-law in previous years who could not even afford the rent, let alone the formations to look after their homes and nursing homes...

But even if the family is in decline, it's impossible for so many families to encounter changes in life, right?

Another possibility is that people moved away and the yard became vacant...

Ji Bochang looked around with a slight frown and found that Wuyi Alley was much deserted. The neighbors who used to like to hang out on the street seemed to have moved and disappeared...

When I reached the end of Wuyi Alley, I saw a group of outer disciples from Xianxia Mountain negotiating with the residents of the house, seemingly discussing something.

He hesitated for a while, then saw a familiar disciple from the outer sect of Xianxia Mountain who was doing nothing outside the door, so he stepped forward and said, "Fellow Daoist Wang, are you okay?"

The monk surnamed Wang was one of the outer disciples of Xianxia Mountain who originally urged his sister-in-law to pay the rent. He was a relatively easy-to-talk person...

We didn't know him well, but we met him a few times before buying the compound and paying rent.

"..."

The monk surnamed Wang was slightly startled when he saw someone greeting him. After seeing the person clearly, he seemed to have thought of who he was, and he raised his hand and said politely: "But Daoist Fellow Ji in person?"

Ji Bochang smiled and said, "It's Ji..."

The monk surnamed Wang seemed to have thought of something. When he saw the ruby ​​ring on his finger, he showed a sudden expression and said with a smile: "Congratulations to fellow Taoist Ji~"

"ah?"

Ji Bochang was slightly stunned when he heard this, and for a moment he didn't know what his 'congratulations' meant.

"A few days ago, Daoyou Ji's house was purchased by Baibao Pavilion, so I guessed that Daoyou Ji should have served as guest minister in Baibao Pavilion."

Seeing his puzzled expression, the monk named Wang joked in a teasing tone after explaining his explanation: "For such a high achievement, shouldn't it be worthy of the word 'congratulations'?"

"Hahahaha~"

Only then did Ji Bochang realize what he had said, and returned the greeting with a smile: "You're welcome, you're welcome~"

After that, he looked at the Xianxia Mountain outer sect disciples and residents who were interacting with each other in the courtyard, and asked pointedly: "Do you have official duties, fellow Daoist Wang?"

"It's some official business..."

The monk surnamed Wang was bored outside the door. When he saw someone talking to him, and the person he talked to was a guest from Baibao Pavilion, he naturally had no reason to refuse...

He pondered for a while and explained: "The higher ups are preparing for the competition between the four sects. At that time, in addition to the four major sects, there will also be people from many other sects.

Some are simply invited to watch the ceremony, and bring disciples from the monastery or family to see the world;

Some use the opportunity to attend the ceremony to discuss cooperation matters;

There are even some demons and evil spirits who come here to fight against the autumn wind.

No matter what it is, there will definitely be an influx of new faces into the market in the near future, and the higher-ups are also paying attention to this matter.

Therefore, an order was issued to reorganize the residential area in Fangshi, move the tenants to other places, and free up a space for guests who come from afar to rent."

He seemed to have thought of something as he spoke, and said in a rather puzzling tone: "Originally, the environment in Wuyi Lane is average, and it is not within the scope of the rectification area...

But somehow.

A few days ago, after the resident real person came out of the customs, Fangshi included Wuyi Lane in the area for rectification, so it was a bit hasty..."

"I see."

Ji Bo often nodded thoughtfully after hearing this.

Thinking of what he said, Wuyi Lane was originally not in the rectification area, but was moved to the rectification area by the resident real person a few days ago, I couldn't help but feel moved.

A few days ago, Protector Feng from Xianxia Mountain gave himself a jade plaque that allowed him to serve in Fang City, stating that the resident real person in No. 4 Fang City was practicing in seclusion after testing his spiritual roots.

Moreover, Protector Feng also said that he had greeted Mr. Shen before he came to look for him.

That Master Shen knew about Xiao Anan, and even knew about Xiao Anan's relationship with himself, his sister-in-law and his wife.

Now, after Mr. Shen left the customs, he designated Wuyi Lane as a rectification area and moved the tenants to other places. There must be some connection between the two!

Ji Bochang pondered for a while and asked: "Friend Wang Dao, the higher ups have ordered that the tenants in Wuyi Lane be moved elsewhere. What about those like us who have purchased houses? Do we have to move too?"

"That's not necessary..."

Seeing his gesture, the monk surnamed Wang thought he was worried that his home would also be moved away, so he smiled and comforted him: "Friend Ji, you don't need to worry too much, it's the tenants who are being moved away, and the house that has been purchased is the resident's own asset."

, is not within the scope of relocation.”

"Oh~"

Ji Bochang pretended to be surprised and nodded, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Thank you, fellow Taoist Wang, for clearing up the confusion."

"It's nothing."

Seeing his humble and polite attitude, the monk surnamed Wang seemed to have thought of something. He looked around and then reminded him softly: "But Brother Ji, it's best to ask Baibao Pavilion to change your residence."

"Change residence?"

Ji Bochang was slightly startled when he heard this, and asked with a slight frown: "What happened in Wuyi Lane?"

"this……"

The monk surnamed Wang just smiled and waved his hands, muttering vaguely: "It's hard to say, it's hard to say~"

"..."

Uncle Ji often saw the way he looked when he spoke, as if he had something hidden that he couldn't reveal, so he smiled with realization.

"It was Ji who took the liberty~"

As he spoke, he caressed the storage bag, and there was a small jade bottle in his hand, and then it 'accidentally' fell into the pocket of the monk surnamed Wang...

"This...that's not what Wang meant~"

The monk surnamed Wang said, "That's not what I meant," but he smoothed the opened pocket with his hands.

He glanced around to make sure there were no other people around, and then explained softly: "Fellow Daoist Ji, in recent times, several casual cultivators have died in Wuyi Alley."

"Um?"

When Ji Bochang heard this, his breath was stagnant, and he asked in disbelief: "This Wuyi Lane is deep in the city, how can someone die?"

"They didn't lose their lives in the market, but they encountered evil cultivators when they went out..."

"Ji has been in seclusion at home recently and has not gone out. I don't know why. I hope fellow Taoist Wang can tell me what happened here."

"Actually, it's nothing..."

The monk surnamed Wang was speechless and said: "In recent times, the evil cultivators outside Fang City have been rampant, and many casual cultivators in Fang City have met with difficulties outside.

And among these casual cultivators who died, several families came from this Wuyi Alley, as if they were being targeted, which is very strange."

Seeing Ji Bochang's serious expression, he changed the subject and said with a smile: "Friend Ji, you don't need to worry too much. Maybe it's just a coincidence..."

"Hehehehe~"

Ji Bochang still couldn't understand the meaning behind his words, so he smiled and echoed: "Countless casual cultivators die outside Fangshi every year. It's not surprising that a few families come from Wuyi Lane~"

"Yes, yes, yes~"

When the monk surnamed Wang saw that he was going this way, he immediately laughed and laughed: "I just said those things casually, they cannot be taken seriously, they cannot be taken seriously~"

"As it should be!"

Ji Bochang seemed to have thought of something, and took out another jade bottle and 'accidentally' dropped it into his pocket.

Then he asked with a slight movement of his eyes: "Fellow Daoist Wang, do you know which non-religious cultivators in our Wuyi Lane died at the hands of evil cultivators? They are all neighbors, and Ji can also mourn for them."

"I shouldn't say anything about this, but Fellow Daoist Ji is not an outsider either..."

The monk surnamed Wang sighed with his face glowing red, stroked his pocket and said softly: "Just recently, four families in Wuyi Lane seem to have been in trouble...

They are Tan Ziyong from the ninth house at the end of the lane, Shi Xianbo from the 21st house in the lane, Qiu Rongtao from the 23rd house in the lane, and Shao Renbin from the third house at the end of the lane."

"..."

Ji Bo Chang's pupils shrank when he heard this...

He has lived in Wuyi Lane for so many years. Not only is he familiar with them, but he also knows that these four people have children in their families, and the children are all about the same age as little An'an. They used to play together when they were children!

For example, the one who was scratched by Xiao Anan a few years ago was the heir of Tan Ziyong's family...

But later on, when little Anan got older and was sent to Baiyun Academy by himself, his contact with them became much less...

Now, these people are all dead outside the city!

Ji Bo often thought of Xiao An'an's psychic body and was brought to Xianxia Mountain to practice. Then he thought of what Qiu Yourong and Feng Yunqiu said, and he suddenly understood...

Loose cultivators are making a living in the city, and they seem to have nothing to do with the big immortal sects like Xianxia Mountain, but in fact, their wealth and life depend on other people's thoughts!

if…

If I were not Xiao An'an's uncle, but just a stranger who was familiar with Xiao An'an, would I also die 'accidentally' at the hands of evil cultivators outside the city?

Thinking of this, he felt his mouth go dry, and his understanding of the cruelty of the spiritual world became a little clearer...
