Generally speaking, no one can actually buy a house in Yujing. Because nominally, all the houses and palaces in the entire Yujing belong to the Taoist gate, and are under the responsibility of Tianji Hall in the Nine Halls, which corresponds to the Ministry of Works in the court.

Including Dazhenren, there is only the right to use and no all rights, so everyone rents it, but the lease period is very long, the longest can reach a hundred years. Taoists habitually call this kind of lease that lasts hundreds of years a day.

This is somewhat similar to the secular world's "one field and two masters". A piece of land can be divided into fields and fields. The fields and fields are held by two people respectively. The fields and fields are two parts that do not interfere with each other. They can be bought, sold, pawned, and given away at will.

The land holder cannot farm, but can only collect rent. If he wants to farm himself, he must buy back the land from others. The land holder can farm but has to pay the rent. At the same time, he can buy and sell the land noodle at will, and even build houses and tombs on the land. The land holder has no right to interfere. If the land holder owes rent, the land holder can find ways to collect debts and use other things to pay off the debt, but cannot drive people away from the land unless the land holder sells the land noodle himself, which is one field and two owners.

Similarly, residents of Yujing do not have ownership of the house, but can transfer the lease term of their house at will. If Daomen wants to take back the house, they must return the corresponding rent.

At that time, Qi Xuansu's master rented a small courtyard in Haichanfang, spending 1,000 yuan on Taiping, and the lease period was twenty years. Now there are still ten years left and has not been taken back by the Taoist sect.

Qi Xuansu can stay there for a month. Although it is a sad place, Qi Xuansu is obviously not qualified to be sad now. The pressure of survival has forced him to temporarily abandon these emotions and concentrate on solving the things in front of him.

As for a month later, if he successfully enters Tiangang Hall, Tiangang Hall will issue a settlement fee to help him settle down in Yujing. If something happens, such as being defeated by the new deputy hall master at the last moment, then there is no need for him to stay in Yujing. He can go home, and even go on a flying boat again. He can go back slowly by land and enjoy the scenery along the way.

Qi Xuansu wants to go to Haichanfang. The nearest journey is to pass Taiqing Square and then go southeast, that is, from the upper left corner of the character "tian" pattern to the lower right corner.

This time, Qi Xuansu did not ride a sheep cart or a ox cart, but walked slowly, enjoying the scenery along the way with a series of suspicious scenes, both familiar and unfamiliar.

The sky soon entered dusk, and the setting sun set, and a large area of ​​burning clouds burned at the end of the sky. The blood-red sunlight no longer shone from the top of his head, as if it was coming flat. Yuqing Street, which was walking east and west, fell on Qi Xuansu, and pulled the back behind him into a long way.

Qi Xuansu suddenly felt a little lonely.

In the past, Qi Xuansu would deliberately suppress this emotion because he believed that the feeling of "lostness" was the beginning of weakness. The real strong people would not care about loneliness, nor would they feel lonely. They would even enjoy loneliness and refuse others to get close to them.

However, today Qi Xuansu did not deliberately suppress this emotion, immersed himself in this emotion that was always linked to a bit of sadness. In contrast, the memories buried in the heart began to flow out and filled Qi Xuansu's mind.

Qi Niang once said that after leaving the Wanxiang Taoist Palace where the unified teachings are taught, entering the Taoist sect, his identity will automatically change from a Taoist boy to a ninth-grade Taoist priest, and then there will be a three-year assessment period.

Before talking about the three-year assessment period, we have to talk about where the Wanxiang Dao Palace is.

This place was first built by the Vientiane Divine Palace by Empress Mingkong. Later, it was converted into the Vientiane Academy by the Confucian Sect. After Xuansheng led the Taoist Sect to defeat the Confucian Sect and became the orthodox world, the Confucian Sect sected the Vientiane Academy, and the Taoist Sect converted it into the Vientiane Dao Palace.

The Wanxiang Dao Palace has two upper and lower palaces, and the lower palace has two functions. The first function is to adopt orphans, abandon babies, and raise these orphans and abandon babies to adults without charging a penny, which is considered to be accumulating virtue.

Many people cannot raise their children, or because of other reasons, do not want to keep their children by their side, so they send their children to Taoist temples in various places, and the Taoist temples will send these children to the Wanxiang Taoist Palace.

From this point of view, the Vientiane Dao Palace is actually a place similar to Puji Hall or Yuying Hall.

Because of this, many people in the Taoist sect have no father or mother. They are born and raised in the Taoist sect, and most of them die in the Taoist sect, and they are all people in the Taoist sect for their entire lives.

Qi Xuansu is also one of these people.

Therefore, Qi Xuansu could not quite understand what his parents meant. Since he remembered, he had been playing, living and studying with other peers in the Wanxiang Dao Palace. Only an elderly woman was responsible for their daily life.

To be fair, the girl was a good person and a kind mother. Unfortunately, she was responsible for fifty children alone. When her kindness was distributed to each child, it was already very thin.

The second function of the Xia Palace is to cultivate these orphans and abandoned babies into talents and become fresh blood of the Taoist sect.

The Vientiane Dao Palace adopts a unified teaching method, usually a teacher teaches dozens of children, similar to the private schools in the past, but the scale is larger.

Before the age of ten, teach the most basic breathing and breathing techniques, as well as courses such as literacy and arithmetics. After the age of ten, there will be an assessment. Children who pass the assessment will obtain the identity of Taoist children and begin to learn hundreds of classics such as Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Mohism, and Dharma, adding basic courses of astronomy, geography, institutions, and talismans, as well as teaching more advanced practice methods.

Children who fail to pass the assessment will become Taoist citizens and begin to learn various craftsman skills.

When they are eighteen years old, there will be a second assessment. After the Taoist children pass the assessment, they will leave the Wanxiang Taoist Palace, enter the Taoist Sect, and become a ninth-grade Taoist priest from Taoist children. Taoist children who fail to pass the assessment must continue to stay in the Wanxiang Taoist Palace to study until they pass the assessment. These Taoist children will lose their qualifications for the three-year assessment period, and it will be difficult for them to become a fourth-grade Taoist priest in this life.

The difference here is like the difference between a Jinshi and a Juren. Both are considered as official positions, but Jinshi is extremely noble, so the exile starts with the seventh-rank county magistrate. On the other hand, the juren cannot enter the cabinet in this life. Even if he is exiled as an official, he can only start with the eighth-rank county magistrate, and the gap is huge.

Qi Xuansu is the former, and is considered a "Jinshi" in the Taoist Sect. He left the Wanxiang Taoist Palace with excellent results and entered the Taoist Sect, becoming a famous ninth-grade Taoist priest. Then he was noticed by his master during the three-year assessment period and became a disciple of a fourth-grade Taoist priest.

With the help of his master, he quickly became an eighth-grade Taoist priest. He dared not say that his future was promising and his luck was smooth.

Until the master died.

Whenever Qi Xuansu thinks of this, he feels a faint pain in his chest. This is not an emotional or psychological feeling, but a real pain, a real feeling from the body.

Qi Xuansu, who was walking on Yuqing Street, reached out and pressed his chest, skipped this memory, and returned to his youth.

His master's surname is Qi, or he followed his master's surname is Qi.

Because many people in the Taoist sect were adopted and raised by the Taoist sect, for them, the Taoist sect is a family, and the concept of a small family is very weak. Over time, a trend of "master and apprentice are father and son" has been formed in the Taoist sect. Many people in the Taoist sect do not get married or have children, but instead accept an apprentice as a son to train and inherit the legacy. The reason is also very simple. If the son cannot be chosen, the apprentice can choose.

Qi Xuansu's master is such a person. He has no parents, no children, and no wife in the middle. He is alone. When he was forty, he accepted Qi Xuansu as his disciple and named him "Xuansu".

The word "Xuansu" has many important meanings. The meaning of Qi Xuansu's name is very simple, which is "black and white". Xuan is black and plain is white. There is a difference between Xuan and white, that is, there is a difference between black and white.

The master gave him the word "Tianyuan", which sounded domineering, but had nothing to do with domineeringness. "Tian" is in the sky, and "Ances" is the abyss, which means the difference between heaven and earth, corresponding to the difference between mystery and black and white.

During those days, Qi Xuansu and his master lived in the small courtyard of Haichanfang. For Qi Xuansu, this courtyard was undoubtedly more called home than the Wanxiang Dao Palace, but unfortunately this home is no longer there.

When Qi Xuansu recalled these things, he was not very angry, but more sad.

Because the revenge had been avenged, Qi Xuansu took action and Qi Niang cleaned up the mess in the name of Qingpinghui.

The price was that Qi Xuansu became a member of the Qingping Association from then on, and had to obey the orders of the Qingping Association and do things that Qi Xuansu did not like much but could not refuse.

From the day I entered the Qingping Association, Qi Xuansu was like a small pawn and could never look back. Fortunately, the small pawns after crossing the river could also sway left and right in addition to moving forward, and maybe they could still walk sideways when it was the endgame?

No matter what, this made Qi Xuansu gradually deviate from his original trajectory and embark on the current path.

In fact, whether it was when the master was alive or before taking revenge, Qi Xuansu had a clear goal, but after taking revenge, he was a little confused.

During this period, Qi Niang gradually replaced her master's position, taught him and guided him. Qi Xuansu cheered up again. After all, life still has to continue. He is still young and has a long way to go in the future, so he began to think about how to get out of Qingpinghui.

Qingping did not make things difficult for him, even nine thousand meritorious deeds were considered two Qing dynasties.

Merits are the unique accounting method of Qingpinghui. It depends on the difficulty of the task. The higher the merit, the greater the danger. Take Fengtai County and his team not long ago for example. Qi Xuansu earned 300 meritorious achievements at one time, which is the sum of Qi Xuansu's small-scale fights in the past few years, but Qi Xuansu almost died under Zhuge Yongming's fist.

Even if Qi Niang appears inevitable, Qi Xuansu's luck did not take action if the fourth-grade Taoist priest mentioned in Qi Niang. If the fourth-grade Taoist priest took action personally, I am afraid that Qi Xuansu would be a corpse.

It is precisely because the incident in Fengtai County involves Qingluanwei, Taiping Dao, Quanzhen Dao, Zhengyidao, and a four-rank priest from Taiping Dao. Even behind this fourth-rank priest was a real person. The Qingping Association gave a high price of 300 meritorious deeds. If it were just Zhuge Yongming, it might be less than 100 meritorious deeds.

At this moment, Taiqing Square arrived.
