Chapter 29: A Place of Blessing for Cultivation
Chapter 29: A Place of Blessing for Cultivation
An old woman in a loose nightgown stood in front of the door, frowning at Wang Jixuan.
Wang Jixuan intuitively felt the other party's hostility... Rather than hostility, it was more like disgust.
"Is your last name Zhou?" asked the old lady Kong Lianmei with a frown.
"Yes, please come in and sit down."
Wang Jixuan stood up and made room for him.
"Yeah," Kong Lianmei nodded and closed the door after entering. "Speak softly and don't disturb the children. My intuition tells me that you are a bit of trouble. I have seen too many young people like you."
Wang Jixuan pondered for a few seconds, not knowing how to answer.
Old Mrs. Kong sat down beside the bed and looked at Wang Jixuan's disguised face with a pair of calm and deep old eyes.
"Have you heard of Zhou Meiying?" she asked.
"No."
"She is a high-ranking official. It stands to reason that everyone with the last name Zhou in the fortress should know her."
Wang Jixuan smiled secretly in his heart.
The old woman was testing him.
Sixty-nine is still too young compared to over a hundred and twenty years old.
"I don't know about this," said Taoist Wang, with just the right amount of uneasiness and reserve in his eyes. "If I have a chance to see my uncle again, I can ask for you."
"Why are you asking that? I hate that guy."
Old Mrs. Kong snorted and frowned, thinking about something, as if she was thinking about how to drive the young man away.
She suddenly asked, "Are you a lolita control?"
"Ok?"
"Do you have any perverted fantasies about the girls here?"
Old Mrs. Kong narrowed her eyes slightly and stared at Wang Jixuan's face.
There was a pistol in her right hand, and the silver barrel was polished to a shine.
Wang Jixuan raised his hand and rubbed his brows.
The landlady muttered and cursed: "Don't think I don't know where that guy Xiaohua opened his shop! It's in the perverted area of the City of Joy! It's full of perverts! The most twisted and darkest desires of human civilization are there! You've been in there, right? You've been polluted! You little scoundrel!"
"No, no, no, I actually... don't like the women here."
The landlady was furious: "Oh, my God! I have several boys here! This is even more terrible! Are you one of those disgusting religious leaders from the Golden Age?"
"I really don't have any quirks in this regard! Absolutely not! What I like is some... temperament that is outstanding first, wearing long skirts, having long hair, speaking politely, and having a gentle and graceful personality. Yes, gentle, this kind of temperament is very important."
Wang Jixuan said seriously:
"I can swear on the honor of my former teacher that I will never find any Tao or partner here!"
The landlady stared at Wang Jixuan's eyes carefully, then nodded slowly, put the gun back into the pocket of her nightgown, and muttered:
"Well, boy, your eyes tell me you're not lying.
"You have temporarily passed my character test. I will continue to observe you. Don't think that everything will be fine if you kill me. I have many children, and they are in various gangs in the downtown area!
“But I must remind you that graceful temperament is rarely seen in the fortress.
"You can stay here. I will arrange a job for you as a helper tomorrow so that you can support yourself."
Wang Jixuan said, "Can I go to work a few days later? I still have some Happy Coins that my uncle sent me, which I can pay you as rent. I want to rest for a while. I am exhausted from all the wandering before."
"That won't work. Everyone has to work. You can't..."
Old Mrs. Kong frowned as she looked at the twelve happy coins that appeared in front of her.
"It's not impossible."
She grabbed the round metal and muttered, "You can only live here for three months! After three months, you must go out to work! And listen carefully, if you want to work for those gangs and hurt people, you will move out of my place after three months!"
"Okay, thanks, it won't take that long, I'm very interested in planting."
Wang Jixuan was in a very happy mood.
Communicating with this old man made him feel unexpectedly interesting.
However, two minutes later.
"Here you go! Use it sparingly! I'll only give you one roll a week at most!"
A roll of soft and yellowed recycled toilet paper was thrown into Wang Jixuan's arms. The old lady outside the door muttered, "You'd better behave yourself," and slowly walked away.
Wang Jixuan looked at the roll of paper and was stunned for a moment. Before he could react to what it meant, Xiao Ye's laughter, which she tried to suppress, could be heard in the corridor.
There were several black lines on his forehead.
Forget it, let’s practice and experience the quality of the spiritual energy here.
Wang Jixuan stood up and locked the door, and covered the gap on the door with a poster with the word 'TER'.
Wang Jixuan had seen these three letters many times in Mu Liang's memory.
Five hearts are facing the sky, the inner Qi circulates, and wisps of spiritual energy gather together.
'Wulian, the spiritual energy here seems to be just a little more abundant and a little purer, but the cultivation speed is nearly 40% faster than when I was on the thirteenth floor!'
"Why didn't I notice this place before? I've been to the edge of the Wanlijin gang before."
"I'm going to stay here!"
"If Ye Zi doesn't always ask me to do housework in the future."
Wang Jixuan thought with some worry.
……
Two relatively quiet weeks passed by.
On the border between the Black Fire Gang and the Wanlijin Gang, in an abandoned hut converted from a metal box.
Wang Jixuan sat in the dark, skillfully pressing the small square box in front of him - a text switch.
This was the third time he communicated with Zhou Zhengde after arriving at the Wanlijin Gang’s territory.
[02: I found the entrance to the tunnel. It was behind the bookcase in the study. The entrance was covered with irregular dust, so I didn't dare to go in directly.] He waited for a while, about twenty seconds.
[01: Have you installed the surveillance camera?]
[02: It's installed. The secret room and the tunnel entrance that we found earlier have both been installed. The day before yesterday, I explored the direction of the tunnel from above and confirmed that it leads directly to the heart of the Black Fire Gang and connects to several key areas of the Black Fire Gang.]
[01: Amazing discovery! This is most likely the escape route for the Black Fire Gang's top brass! Where on earth did that shemale uncle take you?]
[02: His adoptive mother's home. His adoptive mother is related to the Black Fire Gang. It is very likely that this old woman has a son who is a senior member of the Black Fire Gang. This is an unexpected discovery.]
[01: Great! I'll send people to ambush over there! We must catch them all in one fell swoop! Especially that evil Wen Heisen! ]
【02: Don't come over, you'll disturb me. I like it here. 】
Wang Jixuan glanced at the energy in his body that was increasing in size at an astonishing rate.
He originally estimated that it would take him at least three months to reach the state of fullness of energy, but now...
Just one more month!
If we can get enough blade beast blood to refine and extract the spiritual energy within it, half a month might be enough!
Because of the improvement in his training efficiency, he can now perfectly balance fighting the Black Fire Gang and practicing.
[01: Have you read any books recently? ]
[02: I have finished reading "Application of Fortress Engineering" and "Pipeline Laying of Fortress" these days, and am currently reading "Application of Modern Physics" and "Weapons That Fear Blade Beasts". ]
[01: I didn’t have time to ask you last time, where did you find these books? ]
[02: In my landlord’s study, on the bookshelf next to the tunnel entrance, my landlord allowed me to read whatever I wanted. Reading is the ladder of human progress, she always said.]
[01: Your landlord has a big problem, as evidenced by the collection of books, the secret room, and the corridor. Do you need anything else? I recently went to my uncle to get some equipment for individual soldiers, but I can't get rockets for individual soldiers. They will threaten the stability of the fortress's internal pillars, and we can't use them to bombard D-level psykers. What a pity.]
Wang Jixuan hesitated for a moment, but still stated his needs.
[02: Blade Beast bones, blood, and anything else you can get related to Blade Beasts.]
【01:……】
[01: Do you want these to increase your own strength? Oh, don't tell me that your strength also comes from the blade beast. ]
[02: Also? Psychic? ]
[01: Yes, it is said that psychics are all nurtured by the power of blade beasts, but this technology is in the hands of the Thirteenth Institute, and the mortality rate is very high. I should be able to get a trace amount of blade beast blood. Your magical paper is made of blade beast blood, right? Alas, I still have a connection with the power of blade beasts. ]
Wang Jixuan raised his eyebrows slightly.
[02: To me, the power of the blade beasts is just a shortcut. I have to use them and remove the impurities in them. I can become stronger without them.]
【01: (°°)】
[02: Let’s talk next time. The next batch of supplies will still be delivered to the old location on the th floor. I have some important things to do tonight.]
[01: Business? What?]
[02: Eliminate demons, defend the way, and protect righteousness, resolve cause and effect, and settle the mysterious heart. (￣︶￣)]
Wang Jixuan turned off the phone to conserve power.
He placed the text switch into the iron box in front of him, quickly took off his shirt and trousers, folded them and put them in the box.
In the past half month, he has been living very well under Xiao Ye's care.
Although he had to help with some housework every day, it did not take away much of his time for practice, and he could still eat some nutritious vegetables occasionally.
With nutrition and spiritual nourishment, Wang Jixuan's new Taoist body has begun to show smooth muscle lines.
Taoist priest Wang opened the closet beside him.
A simple black explosion-proof tactical helmet, a set of pitch-black protective combat clothing, a dozen pistols and submachine guns, and thirty-six longan-sized concentrated high-explosive grenades were neatly arranged under the dim light of the closet.
He raised the corner of his mouth slightly and quickly changed his equipment.
He first sorted the several stacks of talismans that were originally placed in the inner pocket of his shirt into the back pocket of this special combat suit. Then Wang Jixuan stuffed the six bone-piercing nails made of the exoskeleton of blade beasts and some metal into the cuffs of the combat suit.
Now when he meets Wen Heisen, Wang Jixuan is 89% sure that he can penetrate the opponent's head with one nail.
But unfortunately;
His hunting target tonight was not Wen Hessen.
Select a gun, place the magazine, take out twelve concentrated high-explosive grenades and put them into the weapon bag on your waist.
With two "clicks", the bullets were loaded successfully, and he put the gun into the gun bag tied to his belt.
Wang Jixuan took a deep breath of the polluted air, turned around and walked out of the iron house embedded in the ground. Before leaving, he did not forget to take a look at the exaggerated black motorcycle that Mr. Zhou had sent him last time.
He is not yet able to master this mount.
same moment.
In the captain's office of the security station on the 13th floor.
Zhou Zhengde's brows were twisted into a shape of a "川" character. He opened the drawer with a serious expression, put on his glasses, turned on a 3D projection screen, found the search column, typed in "Exorcise demons, defend the way, protect righteousness, resolve cause and effect, and settle the mysterious mind", and clicked the translation button.
"Cool! So this is what karma means."
"In other words, after enduring for more than half a month, he started attacking the Black Fire Gang again?"
Zhou Zhengde shrugged, somewhat disapproving of this.
Both the purge troops and the gang coalition are gathering their strength. To take down the Black Fire Gang, they just need to proceed steadily according to the schedule, and they can start the action in another month.
Now Mu Liang has found another underground passage, and that suspicious old lady is guarding that passage. Perhaps when they close the net, they will get some unexpected gains.
This is actually pretty good.
Mu Liang is now determined to kill a few gang members himself, which is indeed a bit...
It's a small matter, not worth mentioning, and a waste of risk.
"But the way he handled it was really cool, and I liked it."
Captain Zhou laughed in admiration.
The young Zhou Yanei didn't know at this moment how many overtime hours he would have to work for this.
