Even though Lu Chengfeng was a martial artist, he felt a chill down his spine. He turned around and looked at the broker viciously. Since this guy was a local boss in this area, how could he not know about this
"Uh, this, this I forgot...I..."
"snort!"
The chief clerk glanced at him and asked:
"In fact, our government has also searched this house to track down the murderer, but found nothing. We even invited monks and Taoist masters to perform rituals. As for what this house is like, everyone has their own opinions. I am just a small clerk, and I am just doing my duty to remind you!"
After saying this, the chief clerk stroked his beard and looked at Lu Chengfeng.
"Young Master Lu, do we still need to buy this house?"
Lu Chengfeng was a little hesitant. Since this house was suspected to be a haunted house, he naturally could not buy it. Even these things were written in the official records. What if it was true? Wouldn't it be harmful to him if he bought it
"Well, since it's a haunted house, then I..."
etc!
Lu Chengfeng was stunned in the middle of his words, and he suddenly remembered who he was buying the house for.
That was Mr. Ji, the master who made the Niu Kuishan tiger demon kneel down and ask for advice as a disciple! A great man! A powerful man!
Then he suddenly recalled what Mr. Ji had said when he decided to buy the house: Why not buy such a cheap and elegant house? It's just a little dirty, just clean it up!
A little dusty? Clean it up
If the so-called haunted house is real, how can Mr. Ji not see it? If it is fake, then there is no problem at all!
"Master Zhubu, this house should be purchased, but it will not be occupied by Lu, but by the next commander."
The chief clerk looked at him in surprise, and the other bailiff in the room could also hardly hide his shock, but the broker was secretly delighted.
"Young Master Lu, you must think it over carefully. Since you are the commander, you should consider it carefully! Are you sure you want to buy it?"
"Master Chief Registrar, please rest assured. I will take care of it!"
The chief clerk shook his head and did not try to persuade him any further. He had done his duty. There was no evidence to support the claim that the house was haunted. He pointed to the brush on the pen holder and the inkstone on one side.
"Well, please, Young Master Lu, sign the watch register on behalf of your commander, and then pay 36 taels of silver!"
Lu Chengfeng didn't say much. He took the brush, dipped it in ink, signed two words on the register, returned the brush to the account, handed over three 10-liang silver notes and one 5-liang silver note from the local bank, and then took out a certain amount of one or two yuan.
The chief clerk received the silver and money, looked at the silver note carefully and weighed the silver ingot, then put the money into the drawer. Then he turned the record book and saw the two words "Ji Yuan" written neatly. After thinking carefully, it seemed that there was no such person among the nine people who killed the tiger.
"Okay, Mr. Lu, wait a moment. I'll go get the house deed and the land title."
The chief clerk stood up and searched according to the labels on several large bookshelves behind him. Then he took out a dozen paper documents from a wooden box, found the paper deed belonging to the house, and turned to hand it to Lu Chengfeng.
"Here, please keep it!"
"Thank you, Master!"
After Lu Chengfeng thanked him, he took the paper contract and glanced at it. It had all the official seals, documents, comments and details.
"Here, this is your commission! It's 1 tael 18 baht."
The chief clerk pushed the silver and a small pile of copper coins to the corner of the table, where there was a small scale.
"Oh, okay!!"
The broker could not suppress his smile. He quickly took his commission from the clerk and put it into his own pocket without even weighing it.
If the transaction is successful, the commission will be paid by the seller. The more expensive the house, the more he will be paid, up to a maximum of 10 taels. If the transaction is not successful, then he, as the broker, can only take the hard-earned money given by the buyer for guiding the way.
Afterwards, Lu Chengfeng and the broker walked out of the office where the chief clerk worked together. The latter ran away as soon as he went out, fearing that Lu Chengfeng would settle the score with him.
"Humph, you are a street scoundrel!"
Looking at the fleeing figure, Lu Chengfeng snorted coldly. He really wanted to kick him just now, but the guy slipped away faster than a loach, causing a martial artist like him to miss the opportunity. It would be a disgrace to chase him and fight him.
. . .
Yunlai Inn is a very good inn in Ning'an County, close to the City God Temple and the street market. It is lively during the day and quiet at night. The nine young men and Ji Yuan each have a room.
Ji Yuan was now sitting in the room, with the window open, listening blankly to the hustle and bustle outside.
Although he has been in this world for several days, Ji Yuan is still quite lonely.
Although Lu Chengfeng, Yan Fei and others were pretty good, he neither wanted to nor could he keep following them. Ji Yuan secretly asked some doctors in the city, but they all said they were helpless with his vision problem. As for the immortal fate he was looking forward to, he had no idea at all.
I can think about the issue of martial arts, after all, Lu Chengfeng and others do have martial arts. Unlike those fake costume dramas I saw on TV in my previous life, their moves are really sharp and they can fly over eaves and walls.
But he was a blind man in the eyes of outsiders, or a hermit master in the impression of several people. He asked for secrets? Asked for guidance
It seems a bit inappropriate.
Ji Yuan was in a daze and thought back to the Lan Ke chess game. Why did I run into it? If I hadn't entered and made the move that would have been wrong, would it have been...
“Sizzle…”
Amidst the inaudible sound inside my body, my arm felt numb as if it had been electrocuted, just like when one accidentally hits their elbow, and the numbness spread directly to the fingertips, but it was the index and middle fingers.
The shadow of a chess piece appeared along with a wisp of electric current winding around the fingertips.
“What the hell!!”
Ji Yuan cursed and became excited all of a sudden. He still remembered clearly the miraculous phenomena that happened to Lu Shanjun after he left.
After coming down the mountain these few days, he didn't know how many times he had tried it privately. He even tried all kinds of funny poses when imitating Spider-Man learning to spin silk, but there was no effect. He didn't expect it to happen again now.
But the question is, what can this do? Can it open up the Ren and Du meridians
Unfortunately, there was no magical effect of his words coming true. Ji Yuan did not feel any changes in his body, and his meridians were not opened up.
However, a breeze gradually started to blow inside the room, as if a faint air flow was being brought in from the window.
Ji Yuan suddenly ignored the pain and half opened his eyes. He found that around the illusory chess piece at the fingertips of his right hand, there were faint green spiritual auras appearing.
Coupled with the slight feeling of wind in the room, Ji Yuan seemed to have thought of something and turned to look out the window, occasionally seeing wisps of green spiritual air flying in.
His sight turned back to his fingertips, and the green spiritual energy formed a subtle vortex around the illusory chess piece. The wind in the room also gradually became a little stronger from being almost imperceptible, causing the curtains and other objects to float left and right.
Accountant Yuan focused all his attention and mind on the changes that were being caused. At a certain moment, a thought came to his mind, and all the green energy rushed into the inside of the chess piece.
“Knock, knock, knock…” “Mr. Ji, it’s me, Chengfeng. I’m back from the county government office!!”
Startled by the knock on the door, Ji Yuan relaxed his thoughts and the chess piece in his hand disappeared back into his fingertips.
Ji Yuan was still staring at his fingers in a daze, still immersed in the magic that had just happened. He was not very annoyed about being disturbed. If it could happen once, it would naturally happen a second time.
"Mr. Ji, are you in there?"
Lu Chengfeng asked again at the door, and Ji Yuan finally reacted and turned around to say something.
"come in!"
Lu Chengfeng, who was outside, pushed open the door, but was stunned before he walked in.
It was a feeling of being swept by a special aura, with a brief electric tingling sensation on the body.
The cool breeze surrounding the room had not yet completely dissipated. Ji Yuan rested his right arm on the table with his elbow, his hand pointing in a casual sword-like shape. The curtains in the room rose and fell, and the pens hanging on the desk swayed. The cool breeze seemed to surround him, and then quickly faded away after he opened the door, and the room was calm.
And in this process of gradually calming down, Lu Chengfeng found that even his mind gradually calmed down. His body felt relaxed and comfortable with every breath. He stayed at the door for a long time without any movement.
Ji Yuan was still savoring the feeling just now. After the chess piece merged back into his body, he felt refreshed in every part of his body, as if he was a tired person who had just finished a scraping massage. Then he finally realized that the dazed Lu Chengfeng had not come in yet.
"Young Master Lu, why are you standing at the door?"
"Uh, sir, is it convenient for me to come in now?"
"What's the inconvenience?"
Ji Yuan was very sure that some major changes in the chess pieces had dissipated when he knocked on the door, so Lu Chengfeng would just see a little wind at most, which was no big deal, after all, the window was open.
"Oh, that's it, Mr. Ji. I have already bought the house for you. Here are the title deed and the key."
Lu Chengfeng entered the room and took out the paper documents, contract, and copper lock key from his arms.
However, Ji Yuan was a little absent-minded. While carefully experiencing the feeling in his body, he was looking at the densely packed text and official clauses and the big red seal on the land deeds and house deeds, as well as Ji Yuan's name on the document.
From his previous life to now, this is the first house that Jiyuan has bought by himself in his life.
