After becoming a disciple of the Pope

Wen Qingze's life is punctual and regular like an alarm clock, and he has no bad habits. He gets up at 7 a.m. to wash, make breakfast, then meditate next to Bodhi Lotus for an hour, and then goes out to make a living. In the evening, he will go to the nearby market Buy food and go home.

After a few days, Ye Shaoqing had figured out the habit of the other party, and was very satisfied with the new roommate in this different world, but when he thought of himself who was still squatting at home for free, he felt very unhappy.

Ye Shaoqing has been trying to use his own spiritual power, but unfortunately Wen Qingze is not a priest, and he has not received systematic education on these restoration work. He spoke in a rather general way, and Ye Shaoqing was confused, so that his experiments were not effective at all. .

After failing to repair the nose lock for the fifth time, Ye Shaoqing squatted in the corner of the wall and ate melons silently with a melancholy expression.

Wen Qingze patted him on the shoulder gently, and comforted him: "It doesn't matter if it's broken, no one will come to my house anyway."

"..." Not being comforted at all, Ye Shaoqing became even more depressed.

God seemed to be deliberately against Wen Qingze, and not long after he finished speaking, someone really came to his door.

"Dong dong dong" knocked on the door loudly, accompanied by an extremely impatient voice: "Wen Qingze, I know you are inside, come out quickly, if you don't pay this month's rent, believe it or not, I will throw you on the street! "

"It's the landlord." Wen Qingze explained to Ye Shaoqing before opening the door.

Standing outside the door were a lot of men with thick faces, each with a cold metal electric baton pinned to his waist, the leader was wearing a black top hat, his bright clothes conflicted with his vulgar temperament, he looked nondescript .

Li Gou is the local snake in this area. His original name was Li Gou, but he thought it was too ugly, so he changed it to Gou. Since the tentacles of the Holy See have extended to this chaotic neighborhood, Li Gou can no longer collect protection fees. With an idea, he collected the rent.

Surrounded by a group of people, Wen Qingze said calmly, "Isn't it going to be the end of the month in a few days?"

Li Gou snorted: "A few days earlier and a few days later, you have to pay. If you want to pay, just take the money out. Where is there so much nonsense!"

Wen Qingze stopped talking, and simply handed over a small pocket, and the heavy star coins collided back and forth in the pocket, making a "ding-ding" sound.Li Goutuo weighed it in the palm of his hand before putting it in his pocket.

"Brother Gou, there is someone living in his house!"

Li Gou was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that this was a good opportunity. He had long disliked Wen Qingze. Anyone around here who saw him was not trembling and cautious. I put it in my eyes, that look, just thinking about it makes me angry!

Li Gou's complexion darkened, and he sneered, "How dare you not tell me that there is one more person living here? Could it be that you want to swallow that money? Don't even think about it. From today onwards, you will have to pay double rent. A little money is not enough!"

Wen Qingze glanced behind Li Gou, and sure enough, he saw the guy whose head was broken by Ye Shaoqing's shovel that day, shrinking back and gloating.

Wen Qingze frowned and said, "Double rent? I don't remember such a rule."

Li Gou sneered: "What I said is the rules. There were no rules before, but now there are!"

Knowing that the other party was instigated to find fault on purpose, Wen Qingze frowned even deeper: "I don't have that much money on hand right now, how about I supply it to you next month?"

"Back? Don't make a mistake! What qualifications do you have to bargain with me?" Li Gou raised his voice and mocked, "Either pay the money, or pack up and leave, since you have no money, you kick that kid out of the house , isn’t that enough? Haha!”

Wen Qingze really felt a little tricky, there was still a part of the advance salary in the pocket that was given to him, and it was impossible to double it, but if Ye Shaoqing was allowed to leave, he knew with his toes that what was waiting for him must be that person. partner's revenge.

Wen Qingze, who was thinking about countermeasures, suddenly felt someone tap his shoulder, and Ye Shaoqing came out from behind him, wearing his old shirt, and the dazzling outfit from before had already been put away.

Li Gou glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, and then his eyes fell back on Wen Qingze's face. A little guy like Ye Shaoqing who has nowhere to go and wandered here is not a normal person in this slum area. If you learn the rules of survival in the shortest time, you will soon become food for rats in the sewer.

The three brothers who were hiding behind looked at each other for a moment, and showed proud and gloomy smiles at the same time. The boss subconsciously touched the big bag on his forehead that was still wrapped in bandages, and scolded Ye Shaoqing viciously from the bottom of his heart.

Seeing the indifference on Ye Shaoqing's face, Wen Qingze hurriedly held down his arm, fearing that he would suffer on the spur of the moment. These local snakes are not easy to mess with. Together, they are also a big force, occupying this block and the black market. Even the church hall and the city lord's mansion turned a blind eye to them.

Ye Shaoqing ignored the contemptuous or playful gazes of these people, and just took out a few star coins from his pocket, which were exchanged with pens last time, and he calmly said: "I only have these."

Li Gou took the star coin with a "hey" and lightly tossed it in the palm of his hand, but mocked in his mouth: "That's just a little bit, isn't it more than selling ass?"

The younger brothers in the back laughed for a while, and all kinds of unbearable vicious speculations became louder and louder. Wen Qingze's face showed obvious anger, but his angry but helpless expression pleased them instead, and the curses became more vigorous.

Ye Shaoqing said: "Even if it's not worth a month, a few days are enough, and within three days I will get the rest of the money together."

Li Gou was noncommittal, his eyes rolled around, his eyes swept across the shabby living room, and finally the pot of Bodhi lotus attracted all his attention.

"Huh? Bodhi lotus?" Li Gou's eyes lit up, he ignored Wen Qingze's glaring gaze, pushed him away and walked into the room, his eyes glued to the flowers, bursting out with undisguised greed.

"Hey, with such a good appearance, even the most inferior one-color Bodhi lotus is priceless on the black market. You can't afford the rent for such a precious treasure? It doesn't make sense, my lord today! If you are in a good mood, I will pay your rent with this potted flower."

Wen Qingze's complexion changed, and he said coldly: "Li Gou, don't go too far, the price of this pot of Bodhi lotus is more than enough to buy this house, do you want to rob it in broad daylight?"

Li Goupi smiled and said without a smile: "Don't talk so badly, robbery? How could I do such a thing? This is just a mortgage. Two days, pay the remaining rent within two days, otherwise, this flower will be destroyed." It's mine, or maybe I can still show kindness to you, sir, by exempting you from rent for a few more months, hahahaha!"

"You—" Wen Qingze's face turned ashen, and he clenched his fists tightly with both hands. The usual gentleness and elegance disappeared, replaced by an extremely fierce aura, and the anger accumulated in his eyes, as if he would punch the opponent's face at any time .

Li Gou saw the fierce light flashing in his pupils, but he was not afraid: "What? Do you think the old wounds will recur faster? It's nothing more than your heyday, but now, let me see you use a magic spell? I advise you You'd better be honest and move the flowers away!" The last sentence was of course said to his subordinates.

Seeing his appearance, Ye Shaoqing was ready to do something, but Wen Qingze endured it, watched Bodhi Lotus being snatched away by the gang, and walked away, and finally just leaned against the corner dejectedly, showing a touch of weakness to Ye Shaoqing laugh.

"I didn't expect Li Gou to bring someone here in person, and I'm not sure about meeting him."

Ye Shaoqing shook her head: "I'm the one who caused you trouble, as long as you let me go, he won't have an excuse to make trouble."

Wen Qingze sighed: "Without this excuse, there will be other excuses. That guy will always try his best to get what he likes."

"There are still two days, let's think of a way."

Wen Qingze didn't have much hope, and said with a wry smile: "Get two thousand star coins in two days? If it's so easy to get the money, why bother to get angry here? What's more, even if you get the money, with Li Gou's greedy and ruthless temperament, you can't get it." It’s not easy to spit out what you get.”

Seeing Ye Shaoqing's frown tightly, he turned to comfort him and said, "Actually, if it wasn't for you, the pot of Bodhi lotus would have withered, so I don't think I lost anything."

Ye Shaoqing knew that the bodhi lotus played a decisive role in the recovery of his sea of ​​consciousness, and it was by no means as easy as he said.

He said gently and earnestly: "This matter happened because of me, no matter what, I will find a way to get the flowers back."

Wen Qingze smiled helplessly, not taking this to heart.

Ye Shaoqing suddenly asked: "Do you know where there is a place near here that treats people with exotic animal plants?"

Wen Qingze was taken aback for a moment: "You want to..."

Ye Shaoqing's eyes flickered: "Make money! Make a lot of money!"

Poverty is the source of all difficulties. He urgently needs to change the status quo. Of course, making money is the first priority. Otherwise, he will soon be unable to afford white bread with 3 stars.

Wen Qingze thought for a while, and said: "I do know a person like this. He is called Lao Tao. He used to be a priest in the temple. Later, he had to resign because he offended someone and became a magician."

Another magician?

Sounds like a great job.Ye Shaoqing guessed in her heart.

"Old Tao is quite famous in the black market area now. Generally, if you can't get jobs in the church hall, you will ask him for help. I have some friendship with Lao Tao. It's no problem to introduce you, but... I'm afraid I won't be able to make money in a short time. too much."

That time when Ye Shaoqing accidentally rescued the Bodhi lotus was indeed amazing. If he had achieved this level every time, Wen Qingze would not be worried. Unfortunately, he has never succeeded in the experiments these days, as if the flash in the pan that day was just an accidental miracle .

What's more, even if Ye Shaoqing has mastered the method of spiritual healing, no one is willing to take the risk of failure and ask him, an unknown young man, to restore his treasure.

But either way, it's an opportunity.Ye Shaoqing still decided to go to the black market with Wen Qingze's letter of introduction.
