Chapter 4: Opportunity Rises

Yu Zecheng said calmly:

"Brother, how much does this book cost?"

Official Li replied:

"Ten taels of silver a book, buy it or not."

For Yu Zecheng, a new war has begun. Yu Zecheng shouted:

"Ten taels of silver a piece? Those are only twenty copper coins, and this one costs ten taels. Haha, brother, are you kidding me?"

Li Daguanren said:

"This is the secret book of cultivating immortals. If you get it..."

Yu Zecheng interrupted him and said:

"Brother, please stop talking nonsense. I am a disciple of the Black Tiger Hall. We all know the basics. Your old man from the Li family left before he reached his sixtieth birthday. I even went with him to the funeral a few days ago. If this secret book of cultivating immortals is useful, how can this be done? It’s a good price, I’ll buy it and take a look.”

Official Li glanced at him and said:

"My head hurts when I see these books. They are all books. Can I gamble without losing? But this book cannot be sold cheaply. This book is really passed down from generation to generation in our old Li family. They all say it is a secret book for cultivating immortals. As a result, more than ten generations When people practice cultivation, they don’t produce anything. I think it’s just some waste paper. If my father didn’t treat them as treasures, he would have died so early. But this is what our ancestors left behind. Unlike those books, at least one book costs two or three. silver."

Yu Zecheng said:

"No, brother, if you make it cheaper, they are all sold off. What are you keeping them for? You can gamble by keeping them without losing money. Miss Ayun, the number one girl in Bicuilou, has been waiting for you for a long time. Sell them to me cheaper." ”

So Yu Zecheng began to grind, tepidly, and started to fight with Li Daguan sentence by sentence. After grinding for half an hour, he finally won the war. Finally Li Daguan couldn't bear it anymore and said:

"Yes, yes, I'll sell you for just one tael of silver. It's so annoying."

Yu Zecheng said:

"Thank you, Brother Li. I have eight hundred and eighty copper coins. I will give you lucky numbers. You will definitely win when you go to the casino. How about I give you these candies as well?"

Official Li frowned and said:

"How old am I to eat candy? Just shake it out. Okay, eight hundred and eighty copper coins will do. You are the first one to buy the book, so the lucky number is sold to you."

After saying that, he threw the "Supreme Heavenly Blood Gang Jue" to Yu Zecheng and said:

"That's it. This book was missing a few pages due to a fire. Take the money and leave immediately, and stop inking with me."

Yu Zecheng handed all the copper coins in his pocket to Li Daguan, picked up one of the three books he selected, and said:

"Brother, I opened an opening for you today. Why don't you show your appreciation? Hello, hello, hello everyone. Please give it to me."

The angry official Li waved his hand and told him to get out immediately. Yu Zecheng smiled and took two books, left here and returned home.

After returning home, Yu Zecheng gave the copper hairpin to his mother and the candies to his younger brothers and sisters. Then I went back to my room and started reading these two books. Before reading, he washed his hands and face with clean water, and then calmly began to read. This was a habit given to him by his father.

The first thing Yu Zecheng opened was "Supreme Heaven's Blood Gang Jue". The first chapter of this book reads:

"The way of heaven is unfair. If great achievements are missing, the way of heaven is supreme. Seek the law from the saint ancestors and transform the energy into the void. Its use is not harmful. One energy can be divided into seven colors: white light, purple dark, black flame, green evil, gold, blood and green. Abyss. The vastness is like rushing, and the combination of blood and gangster has endless uses. The changes of heaven and earth are of their own accord. The emptiness is the building, the reality is the reality, the emptiness is the essence, and the form is revealed..."

As Yu Zecheng read every sentence, he felt a headache and dizziness, as if something in the book was absorbing his energy. He had to give up before finishing a page and closed the page. It took a long time. Back to normal.

You can't read this book. My father said before that if you force yourself to continue reading it, your vitality will be damaged. It seems that this book really says that. Yu Zecheng put down this book and opened another book. The book that was added to this book was "Textual Research on Immortal Qin", which was written by the great Confucian king Yin Yang seven thousand years ago. After detailed textual research, this is the 100th edition and has been circulated for thousands of years.

This book records that in modern times, following the unification era of the ancient Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, more than 30,000 years ago, the four regions of Tiannan, Mobei, Ancient Qin, and Western Chu were once unified by a large empire, that is, the Xian Qin Empire. The rulers are all immortals. They can live forever, call the wind and rain, create life, open the sky and split the earth, overturn rivers and oceans, and shatter the void.

These immortals unified the four regions, divided the world into thirty-six states, unified weights and measures, language, and laws, established regulations and rules for mankind, established the ancient Immortal-Qin Road, eliminated demons and beasts, and explored outer space. Among them, Miao Xiang and Suiyuan areas It was discovered at that time that humans began to multiply in those areas, and the empire prospered for seven thousand years before collapsing.

The collapse of Xian Qin left behind countless ruins of Xianjia caves, which are called Xian Qin ruins. Each ruin discovered will trigger countless immortals to flock to it, and a war will occur every time. This kind of immortal war will cause the continent to drift and the mountains and rivers to drift. The deformation and the diversion of rivers and seas have caused the mortal world to be bloody and the country is in turmoil. Therefore, this kind of disaster in which immortals harm mortals is called a disaster from heaven. It happened to Chen State three years ago. The capital of the country was in ruins and the population was dead. Eighty percent of the time, his father died there.

At the end of ancient times, there were seven great overlords of the Spring and Autumn Period. The seven overlords of the Spring and Autumn Period all discovered the relics of the Immortal Qin and gained capital to dominate the world. But none of them can reproduce the style of Xian Qin back then. Just dominate for a while. In the past ten thousand years, the relics of Xianqin have been completely developed. Those Xianjia caves were either occupied by famous sects or destroyed. Few relics of Xianqin have been discovered, especially in the past three thousand years, there has been no news at all.

Yu Zecheng slowly read the book, and before he knew it, it was almost noon. Yu Zecheng had to stop reading because he could not delay today's work. Yu Zecheng put down the book and marveled at the various records in the book. He couldn't help but think about the grand occasion of the Immortal Qin in those days. He was filled with emotion and envied those immortals to death.

Yu Zecheng rushed back to the back kitchen of Black Tiger Hall in time. Chef Wang Xuesen was already here directing his men to work. He snorted coldly when he saw him.

Yu Zecheng returned to his soup room and began to select ingredients, check the mother soup, and prepare to make soup for the evening. The reason why Yu Zecheng dared to fight Wang Xuesen was related to Cui Renxiong's strong support. First, Yu Zecheng was very respectful to Cui Renxiong. Every time, Cui Hall Master Cui shouted, Cui Renxiong was very satisfied with Yu Zecheng's performance. manner.

Secondly, my grandfather Zhang Fushan and Cui Renxiong were good friends in the past, so they would naturally take care of him based on their friendship.

Third, there is a conflict between Cui Renxiong and Wang Xuesen, but Wang Xuesen is a good chef and no one can replace him. Moreover, he is a branch of the Chen family and has support behind him, so Cui Renxiong cannot remove him.

In fact, the reason for the conflict between the two of them is very simple. When Wang Xuesen sees Cui Renxiong, he always shouts "Vice Hall Master Cui, Vice Hall Master Cui". Just because of this title, the two are like fire and water.

Yu Zecheng started making soup. In the past, Wang Xuesen had changed the ingredients in order to learn his own soup recipe and wanted to ruin the reputation of his soup. In the end, he fell into Yu Zecheng's trap. With the help of Cui Renxiong, he was hacked by Ma Lao After scolding him angrily, he no longer dared to mess with the raw materials.

Yu Zecheng was making soup when suddenly there was a noise outside, and then someone opened the door of the soup room and walked in. Yu Zecheng looked back and saw that it was the master of the hall, Ma Laohei, who came to the soup room with Bai Hexi.

Seeing the two people coming to the soup room, Yu Zecheng was so frightened that he jumped and thought:

"Why did they come here? Ma Laohei will not come here for no reason. Bai Hexi must want to come here. What attracts him here is his soup. No wonder he did this to me yesterday."

Ma Laohei said with a smile:

"Xiao Yuzi, Master Bai wants to learn your soup-making skills. You are not allowed to hide your secrets. You must teach Master Bai well, otherwise you will be punished for violating the sect rules."

Bai Hexi smiled and said:

"My mother likes to drink soup very much. A son must respect his parents, so I want to learn my brother's soup-making skills. I wonder if Brother Yu is willing to teach me?"

Yu Zecheng smiled and thought:

"Learning to make soup for my mother? It's just a joke. Just invite me over. Is there any reason to raise pigs for meat?"

But on the surface, Yu Zecheng still replied loudly:

"I do, I do."

When Ma Laohei saw that the arrangement was clear, he turned and left, leaving Bai Hexi here. Seeing Bai Hexi, Yu Zecheng said:

"Master Bai, Young Master Bai, I, I..."

Bai Hexi smiled and said:

"Just call me Brother Bai. You don't have to be polite. I really want to learn how to make soup. I heard that some people make soup according to your recipe, but they can't get that taste. Is this a problem? Can you tell me what happened?"

Yu Zecheng nodded and even called him brother, which showed that he was determined to learn how to make this soup. Well, he must seize such a good opportunity. As long as he has a relationship with him and gets his help, he said It may change your destiny. There may be only one such opportunity. The teacher said that if you have the opportunity, you must seize it to avoid regrets later. I can't compliment him too much. With his character, I see a lot of people who compliment him. I have to be neither humble nor arrogant, and make friends with him subtly.

Yu Zecheng calmed down and began to describe what happened these days, as well as the story between himself and Wang Xuesen.

In the lobby of Black Tiger Hall, Cui Renxiong said to Ma Laohei:

"Brother Hei, what does this white boy want to do? He used to be so cold and arrogant, but just now he seems like a different person."

Ma Laohei smiled and said:

"He was five to six people in front of us, but when he returned to the mountains, he was just a dog in front of others. Chishui Gate was originally the gathering place for the outer disciples of the Shuiyun Sect of the Immortal Sect. He must have wanted to learn this soup and go back to respect Shui. An authoritative figure in the Yun Sect can pretend to be an inner disciple."

Cui Inxiong said:

"Shuiyun Sect of the Immortal Cultivation Sect? How come I haven't heard of Brother Hei? How powerful are they?"

Ma Laohei laughed and said:

"It's normal that you haven't heard of it. Just pretend you haven't heard of it from now on. How is the power? Our country is called Tang State, here is called Linhai City, the capital is called Bijiang City, the country to the north is called Chi State, and the capital is called Mianjiang City. The country to the south is called Mu Country, and the capital is called Manyu City. The names of all the kings of the Three Kingdoms always have the word "water" next to them. What do you think of the power of the Shuiyun Sect? "

Cui Inxiong suddenly opened his mouth and couldn't say a word.
