Chapter Thirty-Three Quiet Rent Island

Among the Huanghai Islands, except Quhuan Island, Zhongqu Island, and Baisha Island, the rest of the peripheral islands have scarce forests, and all they have are rocks.

The "Jingxu Hall" in front of us stands in a lonely valley on all sides. It is made of stone strips about ten feet long, but its appearance is like a fort but not a fort, like a palace but not a palace. It has gold towers, silver platforms, jade towers and purple towers.

The pavilion Gui Wujiu has been seen many times, and the unique atmosphere such as Jingxu Hall can be said to be bright, clean, magnificent, simple and solemn.

Gui Wujiu entered the first-floor hall of Jingxu Hall. The hall was very wide, with twenty or thirty rows arranged in front of it, each row containing nearly a hundred hexagonal chairs. Only two or three people were sparsely sitting on these seats.

The ten people were the Jindan monks who came from the same boat on the wave cone. Most of the twenty or thirty people held a scroll in their hands and looked at it carefully.

There is also a sea map hanging on the east wall of the hall. The long and narrow island in the center of the map is clearly the Dragon Pattern Island. Under the sea map, there are also more than ten Jindan monks looking at it carefully.

Most of the golden elixir monks who came by boat chose an island at random, paid a deposit and left in a hurry. But the dozens of people in front of them seemed to be extremely concerned about choosing which "star island" to choose, and they were carefully selecting it.

Select carefully.

When these people saw a spiritual monk coming in, their expressions were different. Some were suspicious, some were pensive, and some pretended not to know, but secretly used their spiritual sense to investigate. Naturally, they knew who was coming to the deserted sea, such as

Those who are not at the first level of Jindan cultivation are probably those with a great background in the seventh level of Breaking Waves. However, this generation is usually stationed on Zhongqu Island and other three islands, and does not rent the boundaries of Star Island. In their eyes at this time, there is no place for home.

It's just a rare visitor.

Gui Wujiu didn't seem to notice the probing of these golden elixir monks. He sat down casually on a chair and waited for them to make their selection first.

On the counter facing me, Yu Xuanzong was presiding over a man in his thirties, with a slender and handsome appearance. Although this man was only a third-level spiritual practitioner, he was chatting eloquently with the golden elixir monk in front of him.

, without any stage fright. He spoke in a low voice with a smile on his face and made gestures with his hands. The unattractive Jindan monk opposite him couldn't help but nod his head. It was clear from the scene that he was taking the lead in the conversation.

After a while, the golden elixir monk finally made up his mind to pick out a star island. The two parties quickly handed over the rune deed, the prohibition token, and the island map formation flag. Then the golden elixir monk reluctantly took out six small boxes.

Behind the host, a young waiter of fifteen or sixteen years old walked out briskly. He quickly opened the six wooden boxes one by one, inspected them, and then put them into his sleeves. He acted very smartly and neatly.

Five Elements Jade is usually condensed into "Jade Sand Beads" to facilitate storage and inventory. One liter of Five Elements Jade can be refined into a Jade Sand Bead the size of a little finger. When you need to practice with it, pinch the Sand Bead, and it will naturally

It returned to its original form of fine sand. Each wooden box in front of me contained exactly one hundred "fine jade sand beads". It seemed that the monk's lease period was three years.

The golden elixir monk rushed away impatiently. At this moment, an old man in tattered clothes and a dove-shaped face stood up on the seat and walked towards the counter.

Unexpectedly, the person in charge of Yu Xuanzong turned a blind eye to him. He walked up to Gui Wujiu with a smile, raised his hands and said in a salute: "But Gui Wujiu should be in front of my fellow Taoist? I'm the host of Yu Xuanzong's Jingxu Hall, Wu Miao. Thank you for your help. My Taoist, I've been waiting for a long time.

Please tell me in the back hall."

Gui Wujiu knew in his heart that this must be the message sent by the old man named Zong, and he immediately nodded in agreement.

The golden elixir monks in the hall were all stunned, and then they felt disgusted. This boy was obviously the last one to arrive, so why had he been waiting for so long? The young follower of the third level of Zhenqi Realm had a very eye-catching look, and said loudly: "Let's go first."

Yes. If there are any rent-seekers on Star Island, please come back in two hours."

The people in the hall were in an uproar, and some rough-looking men came up to question them. At this time, several low coughs came from unknown corners in the hall. Everyone's expressions immediately changed, and they did not dare to cause trouble again.

.Let Gui Wujiu and the manager Wu Miao leave.

The so-called "back hall" is actually a garden five to six feet square. It has corridors and white walls on three sides, a clear spring floating on one side, green leaves and vermilion trees, and prosperous flowers and trees. The creation of such a scenery on this deserted island shows how rare it is.

Wu Miao and Gui Wujiu sat down separately as host and guest in the resting place in the garden.

Wu Miao only glanced at him, and a servant in blue robes and long robes immediately stepped forward, waiting to be dispatched. Wu Miao took out a small package from his sleeve and handed it to the servant, saying a few words and letting him go.

Wu Miao cupped her hands in front of Gui Wujiu and expressed a sincere apology: "Longwen Island is barren and barren, with very few products. Fortunately, when I entered the island before next March, I accidentally got a bag of Zisu tea. This tea is produced in Rongzhou.

In a secluded village to the south, there is also some knowledge of the method of stir-frying, and so far only eight old people have learned it. Four Yuanying masters used it once when they inspected Jingxu Hall a month and a half ago, and found that half of it was left, which was just right.

It’s for emergencies. Otherwise, if we don’t even offer some tea, Wu will be rude to the distinguished guests.”

Not long after, the attendant held the lotus leaf tea tray firmly and served the fragrant tea.

Gui Wujiu thought in his heart, it is true that Yu Xuanzong sent not many monks to Longwen Island, but after all, this island is one of the four gateways to the floating sea and breaking the waves, and it is not comparable to other "whistle islands". Gui Wujiu

I don't believe that this place is so poor that they can't even get decent tea.

But regardless of whether Wu Miao's pretentiousness was true or false, I couldn't help but accept his affection. After taking a sip of this "Purple Crisp Tea", it had its own taste. He did not hesitate to praise Wu Miao.

Thank you very much for the hospitality.

Before he left the mountain, Gui Wujiu was not willing to have too much entanglement with such an all-rounded person. But after receiving the inheritance of the true method, Gui Wujiu understood the principle that everything can be transformed, and his temperament also subtly changed.

Change. The scene in front of me is not to blame, but it can only be regarded as a training in the world of mortals. Instead of resisting, I am happy to see the subtleties.

After half an hour of gossiping, the guests and hosts were enjoying themselves. Gui Wujiu smiled and said, "It's just a rental of a star island, so there's no need to spend so much time on it."

Wu Miao said sternly: "The elders of the sect tried their best to explain, but Wu did not dare to try his best. I don't know if fellow Taoist Gui has a plan in mind, or is it that we in Jingxu Hall have made a detailed plan for fellow Taoist?" After saying this, he lightly palmed his hands.

Give it a tap.

The two waiters each pulled a shaft and carefully moved in a chart about eight or nine feet high and about ten feet long.

Gui Wujiu glanced at it and saw that this chart looked similar to the one on the wall of the hall, but it was much more detailed. In addition to the densely packed islands, the distribution of Yu Xuanzong's power was also clearly marked. This was obviously

Maps used internally by Yu Xuanzong.

Wu Miao said: "I wonder whether the returned Taoist friends should choose the old island or the new island?"

Guiwujiu didn't know that there were old islands and new islands, so he immediately asked what the mystery was.

Wu Miao smiled and said: "Although the land of Huanghai is divided and rented in units of islands, it is naturally impossible for a golden elixir monk to refine all the Five Elements Miscellaneous Jade underground within a year. It has been excavated by others. After the expiration of the period,

What is rented out again is the old island. Correspondingly, as I, Yu Xuanzong, have recently discovered, what has never been rented out is the new island."

Although Gui Wujiu made a judgment on the pros and cons of the new island and the old island instantly in his mind, he still asked: "I still want to ask about the pros and cons of the old island and the new island."

Wu Miao glanced at Gui Wujiu and said slowly: "The advantage of the old island is of course that there are ready-made pits, so there is no need to dig hard. As for the disadvantage, of course there is a risk that the island is not kept secret."

Gui Wujiu nodded without hesitation: "Then I'll choose a new island."
