Wang Gang stayed at the inn these two days and went out almost every day. He had no purpose, just to go shopping and enjoy the beauty of this first majestic city.
As the capital of the Tang Dynasty and the location of the academy, Chang'an is naturally extraordinary.
On the first day when Wang Gang entered Chang'an, he found that its layout was designed according to a specific formation, which should be the "Shocking God Formation", the first formation in the night world.
The "Shocking God Formation" has no effect on ordinary people, and is specifically targeted at practitioners. As soon as Wang walked into Chang'an, he felt an invisible force suppressing his telekinesis and the vitality of heaven and earth.
Fortunately, this kind of pressure is not great, and it does not suppress Wang Gang's strength deeply. This should be the reason why the formation is not fully activated.
Wang Gang wandered along the streets of Chang'an for the past two days, but he was actually feeling the formation of the "Shocking God Formation". He said that the path he took followed the formation's veins.
?He is using his own feet to explore the largest formation in the world.
The reason why Wang Gang is like this is because he discovered that by walking along the formation's veins, his mental power can slowly increase.
The veins of the "Jingshen Formation" correspond to the meridians of the human body, and each intersection corresponds to a degree. Finally, they converge on the Qi Sea Snow Mountain, which is vaguely a cultivation method.
Wang Gang gradually realized that the human body is a great treasure. The power of mental thought to sense the vitality of heaven and earth through the sea of Qi and snow mountains is the key to unlocking the treasure. However, how much treasure can be obtained depends on the practitioner's own understanding.
The "Shocking God Array" gave Wang Gang a surprise and gradually opened up the secrets in his body.
Wang Gang had a feeling that the Dongxuan Realm seemed to be right in front of him, and he could break through as long as he took half a step forward.
But at this half step, Wang Gang took the initiative to stop. He was not in a hurry to break through.
In other words, he wants to accumulate deeper and then try to break through.
Wang Gang knew too little about the cultivation methods of this world, so rushing to make a breakthrough was not the best idea. Anyway, he had plenty of time, and after he was admitted to the academy, he would be able to acquire a lot of cultivation techniques.
The King of Heaven had just bought some Chang'an specialty delicacy "fried tofu" and was about to enjoy it when he returned to the inn when Ning Que and Sang Sang came to the door.
"Old Wang, I want to ask you for a favor." Ning Que took a piece of "fried tofu" with his hand and put it directly into his mouth.
Wang Gang said speechlessly: "I don't have any money to borrow! I haven't gone to get the one hundred taels of gold promised by Li Yu yet."
Ning Que chuckled and said, "I'm not borrowing money, but giving you money."
Wang Gang raised his eyebrows, obviously not believing that Iron Rooster Ning Que would give him money.
"There is a loser who paid me a big price to protect him. For such a good thing, of course I will think of you immediately." Ning Que said with a smile.
"I am a brother enough."
Wang Gang curled his lips and said: "It's better for you to do this kind of thing by yourself! I don't have time, I have to prepare for the college exam."
Ning Que said anxiously: "Old Wang, you must have noticed that you have been living in Chang'an for the past two days. Living in the capital is not easy, and everything requires money."
Wang Gang said nonchalantly: "I can feed myself and the whole family is not hungry. The money is enough for the time being."
Ning Que scratched his head and said, "Don't you want to buy a house in Chang'an? I've heard that even the cheapest house in the city costs several thousand taels of silver, and Li Yu's one hundred taels of gold is not enough."
While eating tofu, Wang Gang said: "I saved some money from killing the horse thief, which is enough to buy a smaller house."
Ning Que saw Wang Gang's desperate look and said, "Old Wang, let me tell you the truth! I came to ask you for help because I felt unsure. You won't watch your brother die!"
Wang Gang chuckled and said: "Don't worry, I will close my eyes when you die, and at most I will help you collect your body."
"Old Wang, you are so unloyal!" Ning Que said angrily.
Wang Gang sighed and said, "Ning Que, can't you be honest for a few days? You caused me trouble when you first arrived in Chang'an. I just want to live a peaceful life for a few days."
Ning Que said with a bitter face: "I don't want to either! But who would have thought that things in Chang'an are so expensive and I have offended a prince."
Wang Gang glanced sideways slightly, and Ning Que realized that he had made a mistake and quickly covered his mouth.
"You have offended the prince and dared to drag me into trouble. You really treat me as a brother!" Wang Gang said rhetorically.
Ning Quecan smiled and said: "Old Wang, you are not a cultivator! I thought that the prince would not offend a cultivator."
"Thank you!" Wang Gang gave Ning Que a roll of his eyes.
"You can really make trouble."
Ning Que smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't want to either, but it just happened. What can I do?"
After Ning Que and Sang Sang arrived in Chang'an, they rented a shop in Lin 47 Lane and opened an old pen shop to make a living.
At this time, the underground forces in Kyoto, with the support of Prince Li Peiyan and the Chengmen Army, were ready to move.
Li Peiyan wanted to recruit Chao Xiaoshu, the leader of the Yulong Gang, the largest gang in Chang'an, but he was rejected.
Coincidentally, the house Ning Que rented in Chang'an was facing Xiaoshu, and Li Peiyan also took a fancy to that street and wanted to take it for his own.
Chao Xiaoshu naturally refused, but since all his brothers were controlled by Li Peiyan, he didn't want to implicate his brothers, so he approached Ning Que and offered him five hundred taels of silver and the permanent lease of a shop, asking Ning Que to protect him.
Ning Que also knew that a prince was not easy to mess with, so he thought of Wang Gang.
"Old Wang, Chao Xiaoshu and I have made an agreement. If you agree to help, he will sell you a house in the most prosperous street in Chang'an at half price, which is nearly a thousand taels of silver." Ning Que said to Wang Gang.
"I am a practitioner, do you think it is difficult to make some money?" Wang Gang rolled his eyes.
Ning Que saw that Wang Gang still refused to let go, so he could only say helplessly: "Old Wang, since you are unwilling to help, I won't force you, but if something happens to me, Sangsang will ask you to take care of me."
Wang Gang was startled and looked at Sang Sang with some scruples.
Whoever wants to take care of this great god, Wang Gang doesn’t want to mess with him!
"Sang Sang, you move to Lao Wang later. If I can't come back, you will be his maid." Ning Que winked at Sang Sang.
Before arriving at Wang Gang's place, Ning Que had made an agreement with Sang Sang. No matter what he said, Sang Sang would have to agree.
"Master, I will listen to you."
Wang Gang was speechless as he watched the master and servant acting in front of him.
Ning Que was really smart, but from getting along with him, he realized that Wang Gang was afraid of Sang Sang.
Although Ning Que didn't understand what a practitioner should be afraid of in his skinny little maid, he still took advantage of this.
Wang Gang sighed, of course he had ways to avoid Ning Que and Sangsang, but as long as he took the academy exam, he would still meet Ning Que, no matter where he could hide.
"I want to see the person who needs protection." Wang Gang finally said helplessly.
Ning Que was overjoyed and said happily: "I knew you wouldn't watch me die, Lao Wang. Xiaoshu was right outside the door that day, so I let him in."
Sang Sang directly opened the door to Wang Gang's room and invited a middle-aged swordsman to come in.
When Wang Gang saw the person coming, he said directly: "It's not okay to buy the house at half price. If you want me to pay for it, you can just give me a suite. Otherwise, please take it back!"
Ning Que's eyes widened and he said: "Old Wang, you are too dark! I don't even dare to speak so loudly."
Wang Gang rolled his eyes and said: "A practitioner of the Dongxuan Realm needs protection from others, and his enemies are definitely not simple."
Ning Que looked at Chao Xiaoshu in surprise and said, "Are you a practitioner?"
He smiled at Xiaoshu and said, "If you can hire a practitioner as a bodyguard, a house is nothing."
