Compared with Yaxing in Ningyang City, Huaiping, as a big city, is naturally different.
But no matter where you are, money is always the boss.
Lin Mo didn't waste too much time and directly stated his needs.
This kind of high-end dental clinic is also very efficient. From the selection of albums, to getting the keys for door-to-door inspection, to finally signing the contract and paying the rent, it only takes less than half an hour.
He still rented a courtyard with its own martial arts arena as before.
This place is only a ten-minute walk from Si Ma Fang Yamen, and the small courtyard at the back happens to be by a tributary of the Taihuai River.
Standing in the courtyard and looking down along the surging river, you can also see the bustling exterior of the Taihuai Ferry. The location is pretty good.
After packing his things, Lin Mo found a chair and sat in the small courtyard, blowing the river breeze, and began to think about how to deal with the next three months.
Yes, in his opinion, although it was half a year, in fact it was three months later. With his progress, he would naturally be able to successfully enter the sect, and there would be no need to do any more punishment tasks.
However, it may not be so smooth.
Lin Mo looked at the river rolling eastward outside the courtyard wall.
One after another, the water spray rolled up, but before it completely stretched, it was crushed by the next one in an instant.
At this time, when the wind blows, the water takes advantage of the wind and the waves become worse.
Things in the world are like a chess game. No one can predict what will happen. The only thing we can do is to do our best every day.
He seemed to have returned to the hard and miserable days in Ningyang, facing the same unknown situation.
But the difference is that now he is not as anxious and entangled as before, but more calm.
Practice overnight as usual.
Early the next morning, Lin Mo followed the instructions and arrived at Si Ma Fang Yamen.
It's a bit strange to say that at this time, he was still carrying many arrest warrants, so it was not convenient for him to get involved with Zhou Shengjun.
What I didn't expect was that now I would take this opportunity to walk around this important place openly.
All I can say is that things are unpredictable.
"This is the office area. The internship period is only six months. Your work station will be here for the first month. What you need to do is simple, just copy some files, make some outline records during meetings, and keep trace materials.
Just to deal with future inspections by superiors.
In fact, the work is not difficult, as long as you are careful. Generally, if you finish the work in the morning, you can rest in the afternoon, and then go to the port for a patrol in the evening.
Don't think it's easy, but the salary at the end of the month is not low."
Lin Mo was walking in the yamen, and next to him was a man with a guan gong beard, Shi Yi's uncle, Shi Qiong introduced him softly.
At the end, it was still joking and joking.
"It seems that this job is still a good job." Lin Mo also smiled and replied.
In this yamen, this man can be said to be his superior. After all, just looking at his professional title, the deputy governor is already one of the best in this yamen.
I don’t know how Shi Yi told him.
As soon as he came in the morning, Shi Qiong took him to register and report, and the two of them toured around for a week.
It can be said that I treated him very well.
"This is natural. When serving in the yamen, even if you are an ordinary low-level official in the Boiling Blood Realm, your salary may be low, but if you add up all the miscellaneous things, after one year, it will be higher than most of the appointed warriors, which is better than being safe.
Normally, when we select members from other courtyards and martial arts schools in the city, we still need to conduct assessments. However, there are preferential treatment for those of you from Lingxi Villa or Jingshan Villa, and you can enter directly.
And even if you enter, if you don't pass the test after half a year, you will have to come and go from there." Shi Qiong said seriously.
Jingshan Villa is the subordinate force of Qianshan Sect in Huaiping.
Lin Mo's smile faded.
"So when you do things by yourself, be careful." Shi Qiong then whispered.
He obviously knows something.
In fact, if he hadn't known that Lin Mo was being targeted by Yunying from Lingxi Villa, just based on what Shi Yi said, the potential of the person in front of him would have been enough for him to bet more chips.
"Okay, let's get started. Time flies very quickly. Remember to say less and do less. If you say more, you will make more mistakes. If you have anything to do, come to me."
Shi Qiong patted Lin Mo's arm in front of everyone and left.
In the yamen here, he is in charge of taxation. Although he is well treated and can make money easily, he also has a lot of things to do.
The reason why I personally picked up Lin Mo today was because that boy Shi Yi exaggerated the idea too much and piqued his interest.
Now that I have done everything I need to do, I naturally start to do my own thing.
After Shi Qiong left, Lin Mo sat at his workstation.
This is a spacious room, with an area of more than 100 square meters, called the Service Hall.
Perhaps because it is located in Huaiping and has sufficient funds, the furnishings in the house are very luxurious.
For example, the desks and chairs used in everyone's offices are made of a certain tree species called a spiritual tree that is planted in a spiritual field.
Although it has been catalyzed accordingly and has a short lifespan, sitting on it can subtly nourish the warrior's energy and blood, which is of great benefit to the body.
This was the first day, and Lin Mo was still quite curious.
At this time, there were several volumes of files piled on the table, and all he needed to do was to copy them out.
It is indeed relatively simple.
I flipped through it casually.
Today's file was sent by the Chadi Division.
The Land Survey Department is similar to the Land Bureau in the previous life, and its function is to explore and develop nearby resources.
Therefore, most of the files contain nearby geographical information.
For example, in the Lingdu Mountains south of Huaiping, a spiritual field was discovered somewhere.
Another example is the recent major project, the feasibility study information on the construction of the downstream Taihuai River Dam.
There are also some horizontal comparisons of the number of surrounding spiritual fields and the age of cultivated land, as well as the implementation of the spiritual field reconstruction plan, etc.
This information is almost difficult to obtain in the outside world. Even though it is only a rough file, it is still very useful. It can be said that it allows Lin Mo to become familiar with Huaiping faster.
Soon he was immersed in it.
The morning passed before I knew it.
I don't know if it was because of Shi Qiong, but a colleague from the same office suggested that Lin Mo be given a break after get off work.
Of course, this is more of an opportunity to see what Lin Mo's temperament is like. After all, we are in the same office, and if his temperament is not dealt with, there will be a lot more nastiness in his daily life.
Because there were still several months of time to get along with each other in the future, Lin Mo did not refuse.
the other side.
In Baoguangfang, as evening approaches, the number of pilgrims gradually becomes rare.
Even the golden glazed eaves began to dim, and the image of the Buddhist niche carved on it was no longer as full of Buddha nature as it was in the daytime.
At this time, the young novice monks in the temple who had been holding back all day began to file out of the temple and poured into the long street talking and laughing.
Pedestrians on the road were not surprised by this and knew that today was the day of rest once a month.
One of them, a dull-looking novice, mixed in with the crowd, turned a few corners, and finally got into a two-entry mansion located at the entrance of Baoguangfang from an alley.
The furnishings in the mansion are no different from ordinary people's homes, and the layout is relatively old-fashioned. Entering from the main entrance, there is a wall of shadows with hundreds of birds facing the phoenix.
The large courtyard was empty, except for a banyan tree that turned yellow in the summer for unknown reasons.
The tree is not very tall, but its crown is extremely dense, giving people the impression of blocking out the sky and the sun.
The dense tree beards hang down like door curtains.
When the wind blows, it makes a rustling sound.
If it was not necessary to come here, there would be one hundred Wanhua monks who would not want to come here.
The novice monk sighed and stepped forward slowly.
At this time, the main door of the main room was closed, the lights were on, and there were people in the room.
He stepped forward and knocked gently on the door.
Just after knocking, the door opened directly, and a strong air flow swept from the inside out, causing him to fall in all of a sudden.
After staggering for two steps, Wanhua stabilized her body, raised her head, looked at the scene that came into view, her pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly, and then she quickly lowered her head.
At this time, the room was covered with a scarlet carpet, with no patterns on it. It was just a piece of animal skin, as if it had just been peeled off, and the air was filled with the smell of blood.
There are several chairs arranged on both sides of the carpet. They are all tall and strong men with strong aura, but most of their faces are covered with brown poisonous bubbles, which are densely packed and a bit scary.
At the end of the red carpet, there is a finely carved wooden bed covered with gold paint.
A fat man with his upper body naked, like a mountain of meat, was lying on the bed, holding a jade pipe in his hand and puffing out white mist.
As he breathed, the white and tender flesh squeezed, forming waves of flesh in the air.
The white mist sprayed from its mouth strangely formed the appearance of tiny children.
If you listen carefully, you can even hear pitiful crying.
"Wanhua has seen the Roshan Incense Master!"
The novice monk's face hardened, he bent down and whispered.
"No courtesy, if you have something to say, get out of here. I hate the smell of you." The fat man sitting on the wooden bed said lazily without raising his eyelids.
As soon as the words fell, Wan Hua's expression suddenly changed, and she saw several pairs of malicious eyes falling on him, which made her shiver, but she did not dare to say anything.
"Report to the Incense Master, by the order of the bloody elder, that man has been transferred to Si Ma Fang, which is your territory. I hope you can help and solve him by the way!"
"I already know about this, but I refuse." Roshan smacked his mouth and took a deep breath, with a satisfied look on his face.
"As a student of Lingxi Academy, even if Yunying and that old woman are taken care of, if something happens, it will most likely involve my business. You know, in terms of importance, mine is much more important than yours.
"
After saying that, the fat man shook his head.
Wanhua shook her head, then raised her head and smiled:
"The incense master's control of the 'door' is naturally extremely important, but as you said, the death of a student from Lingxi Academy will definitely not be unclear, but this is not necessarily the case in Si Ma Fang.
There are people from several states in the Si Ma Ferry crossing, a mixture of fish and dragons, and ruthless bandits are often present. Not to mention a student, even the heads of the academy will be attacked and killed if they encounter ruthless people.
Besides, if something happens, we just have to find a few scapegoats."
Roshan smiled, his eyes suddenly narrowed into slits, and he became a little happy.
He took the pipe, knocked it on the armrest beside him, and shook his head:
"It's not enough. The seeds are being sown now. The last transaction has been used up. That person has been more anxious recently. He is probably making a big move and wants us to make the move bigger to cooperate."
"Do you want us to be like dogs all our lives, following that person around? Give him a bone when he's happy, kick him aside if he's not happy, and then wave and call him back when he's done?!" Monk Wanhua suddenly growled.
If we want to control our destiny, we can only help ourselves. This is the only chance."
"This is what the elder said, I'm just repeating it." After saying that, Wan Hua suddenly added in a low voice and looked carefully at the person on the wooden bed.
Roshan said nothing, his fat face slightly serious, he hesitated for a while,
"You can help me, I want a bottle of Meat Boy Pill that Xue Shen got from Qian Yu."
"I will go back and explain this, don't worry." Wanhua felt happy, breathed a sigh of relief, and said solemnly.
No matter what, agree first and then talk.
Sending Anzi into Lingtai, Qianshan and the two sects also involves a series of subsequent plans. It can be said that it is the most important thing for their lineage now and cannot be missed.
If you want to ensure that Jiang Jing will definitely join the sect, you must use some means, among which the three-line guarantee is one of them.
Of the three meridians of Lingtai, each meridian advances at least one, and this one can be the strongest or the only one.
"Then I will agree to this matter. You will send someone to investigate, and I will find someone to take action here."
Roshan finally nodded and slowly spit out the sound.
"Don't worry, Master Xiang. Each of these juniors will not be able to cause any trouble.
We will also deploy manpower here to fully assist you.”
Wanhua whispered.
However, Roshan did not reply and just waved his hand with a sullen face.
Seeing this, the little novice monk slowly left the room.
Inside the house, clouds and smoke filled the room again.
Roshan held the pipe and continued to smoke it one after another, with a sullen face and a complicated expression.
In fact, he was reluctant to take action at this time.
In black Buddhism, his position is extremely important.
The seeds sown are related to the 'sounds of beasts' that were agitated during this period.
Then, he took on the important task of selecting the ‘spiritual root person’ for that place.
But this kind of thing must not be exposed. It is at the gate of Luojia Mountain and the two armies are confronting each other. If it is exposed, even that person will not be able to protect him.
only
Roshan, who was sitting on the wooden bed, suddenly remembered what Wan Hua had just said, and his mung bean-sized eyes suddenly turned red.
That's all, I'll just take action this time, just be careful.
A junior in the Destiny Realm could easily be crushed to death by the outside world, but it's just that it's a bit difficult to operate in the city now.
Moreover, the most important thing is that he doesn't believe that something will happen this time after nothing happened for so long.
Thinking of this, the fat man breathed a sigh of relief and sat up from the bed.
He made up his mind to stop after this time and never mess around again. He would wait until the seeds germinate.
Wanhua, who walked out of the main room, breathed a sigh of relief the moment she stepped out of the door.
After careful inspection, I realized that my back was wet.
'I just broke through the master's mountain of meat a few days ago, and it has reached this level. Could it be that the 'immortal method' over there is really so powerful?'
He recalled the pressure that Roshan put on him in the previous house, and he felt sad and a little jealous at the same time.
He sighed and walked quickly towards the courtyard gate.
Wan Hua made up his mind that if there was a chance, he would also like to try the "immortal method" and "animal method" over there.
After a while, the courtyard became quiet again.
At this time, the setting sun was giving off its last afterglow, and the dense tree cover was illuminated by it, casting mottled tree shadows, twisting with the wind on the bluestone floor, slowly squirming as if alive.
