The old things I repaired have become fine

Chapter 504: Is Mr. Shen Le looking for a place to rent? Can I rent a house from you? (Seeking a guaranteed monthly ticket)

The banquet was about to begin, but the host didn't come... Not only did he not come, he also entered into a state of meditation, and there was no telling when he would appear.

What else can we do?
Of course, she smiled and forgave him... After all, the people hadn't arrived yet, but the things had. Spirit fish, spirit shells, spirit fruits, and spirit medicines were all placed on the table, filling the air with fragrance.

"Enjoy your meal, everyone!" The proprietress raised her glass with a smile:

"As for Mr. Shen's character, you all know him well. He will definitely not raise anything that would make you feel particularly embarrassed.

Everyone, eat and drink in peace. We will definitely come as soon as Mr. Shen finishes his meditation!"

"Okay!" Everyone raised their glasses in response. Before the proprietress could say a second word, chopsticks rained down on all the dishes on the table:
grab!
grab!
Grab, grab, grab!
This meal is enough to fill you up, not to mention it will be enough to last you several decades of breathing in and out of spiritual energy, but it will at least last you one or two years!
Doctor Qin stared at the pile of spiritual fruits, his eyes shining. As a young farmer, he didn't need to carefully identify them. He knew by instinct that there were many kinds of them with mild medicinal properties and excellent nourishing effects on patients.
How can I get it?
How can we convince Shen Le to supply in large quantities?

These spiritual fruits are extremely important to his clinic!
The young monk Nengqian from Yuantong Zen Temple twirled his Buddhist beads and chanted "Amitabha" one hundred or eighty times in his heart. However, he still felt that his Zen mind was a little unstable, so he had to lower his eyes and chant silently.

Mr. Shen’s meal is really too luxurious!

Not to mention the food supplied, even the bunch of spiritual fruits that were placed in front of him and the branches with the fruits hanging on them had more spiritual energy than the rosary in his hand!

Amitabha... Amitabha... Do not be greedy, do not be angry... Do not be foolish, do not be delusional...

Gu Yulin and Zhang Bingxin were a little restless. Shen Le asked to turn Zhuxi Town into his own territory, and the higher-ups agreed reluctantly:
After all, Shen Le's demands were not high. He just didn't want him and the people close to him to be disturbed under his nose, and he was not aggressive at all.

However, even though I agreed, I still told them privately:
Keep your eyes on Shen Le!
Be optimistic about Shen Le!

Build a good relationship with him, chat with him on a daily basis, and keep track of every little move he makes!
If anything goes wrong, remember to report it to the organization immediately!

You don’t have to deal with any abnormal incidents around Zhuxi Town. Your task is to keep an eye on him!

This is your KPI!
Gu Yulin: “…”

Zhang Bingxin: “…”

Are we optimistic about Shen Le?
Where is the animated picture of Benboerba beating the Monkey King?

Can we stay at his house every day and keep a close eye on him, or can we talk to him on the phone for two hours a day?

Even if you keep a close eye on him like this, you can't keep an eye on him... Shen Le can teleport! If you can't see him, he will teleport to a strange place!
The only way to relieve their worries is to eat like crazy. They both hold a huge scallop in their left hand and a round, red fruit in their right hand, turning their grief and anger into appetite, determined to eat their way back to their money!

Not only the two of them, but all the guests in the restaurant were eating voraciously.

In this banquet, in addition to all the resident extraordinary people in Zhuxi Town, the native extraordinary people from the villages under the jurisdiction of Zhuxi Town also arrived to learn about the new changes in the town.

Seeing that everyone was almost full, the proprietress waited for Shen Le to come, but Shen Le didn't come, so she had to go on stage herself:
"Ahem...everyone look at me...it's like this, Mr. Shen, who is hosting this dinner, hopes to build Zhuxi Town into his territory, and would like to seek the opinions of all the permanent residents..."

No one stopped, no one even looked at her. All the diners were reluctantly scooping up the last bit of food and stuffing it into their mouths.

A cat demon happily picked up a steamed fish and ate it with great effort, his pupils narrowed into slits.

She stuck out her barbed tongue and licked the fish's spine gently, and the fish meat that was stuck to the spine was cleanly separated.

With another turn of the tongue, the snow-white fish meat was swallowed, and all the barbs in the fish meat were spat out, neatly arranged in a row on the plate:
"Is Mr. Shen's house for rent? I heard that the entire Nanhua Street belongs to him. Can I rent a house from him?"

The proprietress paused. The whole Nanhua Street belongs to him? Girl, where did you see it?
My restaurant is also on Nanhua Street, and the Yuantong Zen Temple opposite is also on Nanhua Street. The property rights of our house have not yet been transferred to Shen Le's name!
However, having more extraordinary beings is not a bad thing after all. Before the proprietress spoke, Zhang Bingxin leaned to the side and asked curiously:
"You want to move here? What are you going to do here?"

"I want to open a yoga studio!" When the cat demon talked about his hobby, his pair of golden vertical pupils sparkled brightly.

She stretched her body to her heart's content, her slender, flexible, yet powerful figure exposed to everyone without any cover. Zhang Bingxin was stunned for a moment, and his baby face turned red involuntarily:

"Yoga...yoga studio?"

"Yes! Yoga studios are very popular now!" The cat demon said excitedly:
"The exercise is not as intense as running and strength training, but it can keep you fit and shape your body, so many people like it! I post fitness videos online every day, and there are a lot of people following me!"

She paused and sighed regretfully:

"I originally wanted to open a yoga studio in Shanghai. It's a big city with a lot of white-collar women and a strong demand for body shaping, so the business would definitely be good. But the rent there is too high..."

She couldn't afford to rent it, she simply couldn't afford it. She was a little cat demon who had just transformed a few years ago. Even if she invested all her fortune in renting the place she liked, the location and size she liked could only be rented for three months.

Three months is enough for what?
The decoration was completed and we just started recruiting students. Three months had passed!
Moreover, the Magic City was under strict control, and the Special Affairs Bureau came every few days to inquire about the situation. The city was densely populated, the environment was polluted, and the environment for cultivation was very bad.

As for Mr. Shen, even if she was just in Nanhua Town and walking outside the wall, she could feel the unusually abundant spiritual energy.

Woo, why doesn't Mr. Shen keep a cat...

She can stay in the house in her original form, provide fur to be petted, and will never chew data cables, scratch furniture or curtain fabrics, jump onto the table, and push down various things!
"I'll ask for you later." Zhang Bingxin was confused by her expression which was sometimes happy and sometimes sad, and blurted out.

Anyway, among the houses that Shen Lexin had built, there were still 30 to 50 empty rooms besides those that were used to store equipment. If we rented out a few of them, it would bring more people to the town, which would be great!
"And me!" Another head popped over from the table next to him:
"Can I rent a house, too? I make paper figurines! I make some paper figurines, maybe running around all over the place. It would be great to have a place where I won't be disturbed!"

"And I……"

"And I……"

Heads popped up one after another. Gu Yulin turned his head around blankly and whispered:
"Hey, you guys don't care?"

A big guy is expanding his territory!
I’ve designated this town as “my territory”!

In ancient times, this would be equivalent to enclosing land and establishing one's own sect and cave! It's ok for practitioners, but the surrounding monsters don't resist, but instead try their best to squeeze in?

"Of course!" The cat demon answered as a matter of course:
"All day long, a large part of my energy is spent on avoiding people! If I can live in Zhuxi Town, at least I can turn into a cat and roll around in the house without worrying about the eyes of outsiders!"

"That's right! That's right!" A dog demon and a rabbit demon sitting on both sides of her nodded vigorously.

Avoiding crowds is necessary for their self-protection and is also what the Special Affairs Bureau requires of them.

"If you want to live your life without hiding from people, you have to live deep in the mountains! That would be too inconvenient!"

"You have to run dozens of miles to get a package! You can only get it in town!"

"Safety could even be a problem! Wow, one time I was just planting vegetables at home and I was almost eaten by a passing fox demon!"

"Mr. Shen is willing to protect the entire Zhuxi Town, that's great!"

Even if it doesn’t interfere too much with everyone’s lives, and just doesn’t allow practitioners from outside to enter without reporting, that would be great too!

The safety factor is greatly increased!

Besides, if everyone can live together, although they still have to avoid the eyes of ordinary people, at least they don’t have to put in the effort to avoid their neighbors!
On the same street, there are either cultivators or monsters, who doesn’t know who?

"And Mr. Shen is such a good person!" Even Doctor Qin sighed sincerely. The little monsters who came to him for treatment nodded hurriedly:
"I've moved here for several years, and I've never heard of him bullying anyone!"

"He even queues up to pay when he eats at a restaurant!"

"And he's a good fighter! He killed the boar demon and the wolf demon in one blow! I wanted to pack up and run away that day!"

Who would want to see a murderer running down the street? It's so nice to have someone help beat him to death!

The little demons exchanged glances with each other obscurely. More importantly, he could even help them overcome the calamity!

The only downside to living near him is that sometimes, really sometimes, he would have a strong pressure wave, and everyone would need to get used to it a little bit...

In an instant, the monsters and practitioners who came to register with Zhang Bingxin formed almost a small line.

Two special affairs bureau personnel took out their mobile phones and started recording, their fingers almost leaving afterimages on the screen;
The proprietress was also surrounded by a rabbit demon, a fish demon, and a pheasant demon, all asking questions in a flurry:
"Where did Mr. Shen get these spiritual fruits/spiritual fish/spiritual medicines? - We don't want to find out his secrets. We mean, is he recruiting employees?"

"Can you help us ask if he needs anyone to help him take care of these outputs? We can do planting/grazing/pharmaceuticals!"

"Or can you help us ask if we can buy some spiritual fruits, spiritual medicine seeds, or spiritual fish fry for the development of planting and breeding?"

Ah, these are not difficult, but they are not within my authority. The boss lady thought painfully:
The key problem is that she doesn't know the spiritual energy level required for these things to grow! What if she buys them and can't grow them or keep them alive...

"Wait a minute, I'll record it and ask Mr. Shen later. What if these things grow in a secret realm? Not everyone can enter a secret realm. Do you understand?"

Alas, why hasn’t Mr. Shen come yet?

How long will he stay in this state of meditation?

Shen Le himself didn’t know how long he would stay in meditation - in fact, he didn’t even know that he was already in meditation.

He was in a daze and in a very strange state, as if something had possessed him:
A pair of hands, a pair of extremely skilled hands, one holding the pen holder and turning it continuously, the other holding the carving knife, picking, cutting, scraping and whittling on it, one cut at a time, without stopping.

Although the texture of the pen holder has now completely turned into jade, and the carving tools used have become machine tools instead of chisels, the technique itself is still completely consistent.

Amid the rustling sound, the figures, birds, beasts, flowers and trees on the pen holder gradually took shape, and Shen Le heard a light laugh:
"Thank you very much, sir. This pen holder is the most important item in the dowry. We can only feel at ease if we let you carve it."

"Don't dare, don't dare..."

The sculptor put down the pen holder and saluted. In the smoke, Shen Le saw a clay statue of a god, smiling down in the candlelight:
"My life was saved by the Lord, so it is only natural for me to do something for the Lord. Lord, please take a look at this pen holder. Is there anything else that needs to be modified?"

"It's already very good... But if you don't mind, the flower on Sister Zhong Kui's head should be carved more delicately... and a few words should be added to the lantern in the little ghost's hand..."

This is... this pen holder, what was the scene like when it was first made?

Shen Le thought in a trance. Carving, grinding, and polishing, a bright and smooth pen holder with exquisite carving gradually took shape.

The engraver placed the pen holder on the altar, bowed three times, and carefully left. When the temple was completely silent and deserted, the thick incense smoke poured into the pen holder like a whale sucking water:

Gradually, a myriad of energy channels were developed in the ordinary wooden pen holder. After all the incense was poured in, the statue looked around and spoke in a deep voice:
"The shelter for you all has been built. Anyone who wants to go with the child, anyone who wants to protect her for a while, please come inside and follow her as a dowry—"

There were rustling and rustling sounds. Behind the temple, large numbers of clay sculptures came out one after another.

They carried sedan chairs and dowries, and came to the statue in an image familiar to Shen Le. Some of them became smaller and jumped into the pen holder, while others had dimmed light and a little starlight flew out:
"What about you?"

"General, will you follow me?"

High and low voices echoed in the corridor. The statue laughed:
"Why would I go with you? I'm still waiting to go to the battlefield and fight those Tartars! - Once you guys are settled and there are no worries, I will go to the battlefield!"

"Then I'll go with you!"

"I'll go with you, too!"

"My...my child is still young, I'll put it in the pen holder, and then, I'll follow you!"

　It’s January 1th!

　　Guaranteed monthly ticket on the last day of this month!
　　Everyone, take a look at the tickets in your hands, and if you still have any, vote for the cat!
