Seeing that the shadows around him were constantly expanding, and there seemed to be a pressure brewing above his head, Cheng Bao raised his head.

An iron ball with a diameter of no less than twenty meters was constantly expanding, smashing down on his head with the momentum of thunder.

In this situation, Rao was surnamed Cheng Bao's heart, and he couldn't help but have his heart and gall, and his spiritual power surged out wildly, rushing to one side.

"If you want to escape, you can't be as fast as me."

The top of Lin Dong's head was also covered by shadows, and his legs were slightly bent, but they flashed to the place where the sun shone in an instant. At the same time, his right arm was swung out, and a bench shot out angrily, chasing Cheng Leopard, who was trying to escape from the huge iron ball.

The golden knife flickered, the bench was torn apart, and above his head, a terrifying huge iron ball also smashed down.

As the iron ball landed, the whole world seemed to shake, the heavens and the earth changed color, the earth shook and the mountains shook, the entire official road trembled sharply, the gravel exploded, and in the distance, Liu Hua and Wu Guang hugged and trembled, and the fierce horses neighed.

"Yes, it's not dead, is it?" Lin Dong didn't quite believe in his own judgment, such a big iron ball was smashed down, even if it was the strength of the strong, it might not be difficult to avoid, but if it was hit, I was afraid it would have to turn into a puddle of flesh.

Beside him, Yun Lan shook his head slowly: "I can feel his breath, if I can't move the iron ball away in a short time, once the spiritual power is exhausted, I will have to worry about my life." ”

Lin Dong is speechless, he really didn't stoned to death?

As if to confirm Yun Lan's words, the huge iron ball slowly trembled, although it was not obvious, but with the strength of Yun Lan and Lin Dong, they could feel that this iron ball was indeed trembling.

Little by little, the iron ball was like an ancient old man who was going uphill, moving slowly, and finally, the ancient old man seemed to have reached the top of the slope, and the speed suddenly increased slightly, although it was not much, but it was obviously a few points faster than before.

Roar...... A beast-like roar came from below the iron ball, and the entire iron ball suddenly stopped trembling.

Lin Dong took a deep breath, his gaze was slightly condensed, and the huge iron ball shrank rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it was less than twenty centimeters in diameter, and then it quickly extended, turning into a bench and flying back into his hand.

Looking at the official road again, a huge pit has collapsed, and in the pit, pieces of gravel have been crushed into powder, and at first glance, it is obviously much smoother and smoother than the outside.

On the side of the pit, a human-shaped pit is particularly clear, next to the pit, Cheng Bao lay on his back and gasped for breath, and the golden knife on the side was not covered by the gray dust too much light.

Lin Dong couldn't help but swallow his saliva, the cow was boundless, and it couldn't be killed.

"You, you ......" Looking at Lin Dong, Cheng Bao panted and couldn't say half a word, and the huge iron ball that suddenly appeared disappeared in the blink of an eye, no matter which situation made him incomprehensible, he wanted to ask and die a little more clearly, but he couldn't raise his strength.

Lin Dong exhaled turbidity, took out a copper plate from the mobile counter, Xu Bu came to Cheng Bao's side, showed both sides of the copper plate in front of him, and then said slowly: "Words or light?" ”

Cheng Bao was stunned, and he couldn't understand what Lin Dong meant.

Lin Dong didn't explain, his index finger flicked on the lower edge of the copper plate, and under the reflection of the slow golden light, the copper plate flipped rapidly and rose into the air.

Cheng Bao subconsciously raised his head, his eyes followed the copper plate that was constantly rising, and when the bench in Lin Dong's hand began to slowly rise, he suddenly understood something.

didn't have time to think about it, Cheng Bao hurriedly said: "Light! ”

The power of the copper plate on the flip was exhausted, and it stagnated in mid-air, and then flipped and fell. The raised bench stopped, and Lin Dong wrote lightly: "I thought that there were not many mountain bandits who were afraid of death, and you would disdain to bet on this!" ”

Cheng Bao smiled bitterly, lying on the ground on all fours, panting and saying, "I can't die yet." ”

Choke...... With a crisp sound, the copper plate tumbled to the ground, hit the surface of the stone powder that was pressed flat and solid, bounced up, spun, and penetrated into a small crack.

Lin Dong was stunned, looking at the copper plate that was vertically revealing half of his body, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

On the side, Yun Lan was also a little crying and laughing, it was not words or light?

Lin Dong hesitated for a moment, and slowly raised the Ruyi stool in his hand.

"Wait, this should be another time, right?" Cheng Bao said a little unhappily.

"Originally, it was intended to be decided by God, but since God is unwilling to make a decision." Lin Dong said slowly: "Then I can only make a decision, see if I am willing to shoot a bench and forcibly reverse the attack regardless of the spiritual power!" ”

"Say it! Whatever you want, as long as you promise me one condition, I will agree to it all. Seeing that the Ruyi stool was getting higher and higher, Cheng Bao didn't dare to gamble anymore, and couldn't help but say: "If it weren't for what I liked, you shouldn't hesitate to kill me." ”

Lin Dong held up the Ruyi stool over the top, and he couldn't take it anymore.

"Spiritual skills, golden knives, sell your ......" Cheng Bao looked up at the sky, his eyes met Lie Yue, did not dodge or dodge, and said lightly: "Or a few things, anything!" ”

"The condition is to help you, or let you go and save the companion of the Autumn Queen?" Lin Dong asked.

Cheng Bao didn't turn his eyes and said, "That's right! ”

"No way!" Lin Dong said without hesitation.

Cheng Bao frowned slightly, then stretched out, and said unceremoniously: "Then what are you talking nonsense?" How happy it is to kill me before my spiritual power recovers. ”

Lin Dong shook his head and said, "I want to ask if you are interested in being a cook." ”

"Being a cook?" Cheng Bao was stunned.

"As long as you can be honest, just be a cook." Lin Dong said slowly: "The salary is as you go, I promise to let you break through the mental period before the age of forty." ”

Cheng Bao frowned and said, "Do you know my spiritual skills? ”

"Immortality Formula." Lin Dong nodded.

"You don't want a knife? Don't die tricks? As long as I'm a cook? Cheng Bao laughed and said: "How does this sound ridiculous? ”

"In my eyes, you are the most valuable cook to be. Of course, the premise is to be my cook. Lin Dong said with a smile: "Our Lin Ji Inn is still in the development period, if you are willing to join, when the Lin Kee Inn is all over the Han Kingdom, it will be the meritorious veteran of the Lin Ji Inn, not to mention anything else, it is guaranteed to be more beautiful and comfortable than you." ”

Cheng Bao was stunned, in this world, there are really people who think that their cooking skills are more valuable than their strength?

"Come on! Join us at Lam Kee Inn! What Fenglin Restaurant, what Jiang Yi Kitchen, to hell with them! Lin Dong continued to tempt: "As long as you are willing to be the chef of Lin Ji Inn with peace of mind, I promise to promote your cooking skills to the entire Han Kingdom, for a hundred years and a thousand years...... If you can research a thousand dishes of the same type, it is enough to become the ancestor of a cuisine. Even if you can't study so many dishes, at least it is the ancestor of a branch. What are the mountain bandits to do? If you really want to save silver, I guarantee that your average salary for the rest of your life will not be 100,000 taels of silver per year. ”

Cheng Bao was stunned, with a thick confusion in his eyes, as if he didn't understand Lin Dong's words, and more like someone who didn't know that the young man in front of him would be the second village master he identified.

"Again, if you're looking forward to blood." Lin Dong said leisurely: "I can give you a few days off every month, I think that killing spirit beasts should be more enjoyable than killing people." When the time comes, first-order spirit beasts, second-order spirit beasts, and third-order spirit beasts ...... If you want to kill a few order spirit beasts, I will prepare a few order spirit beasts for you, and even the detailed names of the spirit beasts will be available in the future. ”

Cheng Bao opened his mouth wide, wanting to say something, but he couldn't speak.

"Finally, join us at Lin Kee Inn, a good life, a lot of fun, and a high salary...... The next life is more secure. Lin Dong smiled and said, "Since your cooking skills are so good, you should also have a great interest in cooking, right?" Perhaps, your childhood dream was to become the best chef in the Han Kingdom. ”

Cheng Bao was silent, struggling in his heart.

Seeing Cheng Bao's expression, Lin Dong was relieved and continued: "To be a mountain bandit, you must have the consciousness of a mountain bandit. Like me, since I have made up my mind to be the shopkeeper of the inn, I am ready to lose money due to poor management, suppressed by peers, and defrauded by officials. Similarly, since you have become a mountain bandit, you should have the consciousness of being beheaded and killed, and if you die, you will bring it on yourself, so you can't blame others. ”

Cheng Bao opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Lin Dong waving his hand.

A few steps forward, with a slight toe pick, the golden knife spun and flew up, was grabbed by Lin Dong, and then put it into the mobile counter.

took out a few hemp ropes from the mobile counter, and under Cheng Bao's inexplicable gaze, Lin Dong tied them tightly, then looked up at Yun Lan and asked, "Have you ever eaten the pill that can suppress the spiritual power in a person's dantian?" ”

Yun Lan nodded, took out a small blue porcelain bottle from the storage spirit ring, and threw it at Lin Dong.

"Inside is the Lingering Elixir, if you take one, if you don't resist, you won't be able to use your spiritual power for three days. The mental period is fourfold, if you have been controlling the spiritual power and forcibly highlighting the dantian, you can only hold on to the early days. ”

"How many are there?" Lin Dong raised the small porcelain vase in his hand and asked.

"Fifteen, if you want it, I can refine a furnace, and the materials should be able to be raised."

Lin Dong nodded and uncorked the bottle.

Cheng Bao finally understood what Lin Dong meant, struggled to get up, and before he could stand firmly, his neck suddenly ached, and he was grabbed by Lin Dong in his hands.

At this moment, Cheng Leopard, although he is strong and strong, is no less than a chick waiting to be slaughtered in Lin Dong's hands, after easily priing open his mouth, the porcelain bottle is stuffed into his mouth and keeps pouring down.

Forcing Cheng Bao to swallow the entire bottle of the Stagnant Spirit Pill, Lin Dong poured into his body, and after making sure that as Yun Lan said, the spiritual power in Cheng Bao's dantian was like a layer of seemingly non-existent barrier imprisoned, and he clapped his palms, and he was half done.

Lin Dong understood that it was impossible to make Cheng Bao give up saving people, but in the same way, he could also see that Cheng Bao was obviously moved by his words.

In this case, if Cheng Bao is controlled and forced to save people, no one needs to be embarrassed.

In doing so, the only trouble is that Cheng Bao is not satisfied afterwards, and even takes revenge. In this regard, Lin Dong can only gamble, fortunately, the inn system can check the loyalty, and it is not too late to make plans when the time comes, so there is no need to worry that Cheng Bao will play this set of yang and yin.

"If you do this, aren't you afraid that I will hate you at that time?" Cheng Bao struggled a few times, and after he couldn't break free of the hemp rope, he looked at Lin Dong's eyes with anger.

You can check the loyalty, Lin Dong is not afraid of Cheng Bao's revenge at all, of course, this matter cannot be said. Try to be as sincere as possible, Lin Dong looked at Cheng Bao's fire-breathing eyes, and said slowly: "You should understand that their death has nothing to do with me." If I'm not mistaken, you know that if you can snatch the golden knife in your hand, you will have enough strength to kill you, and you will chase after you because you will definitely not be able to rescue them with your strength, and only with the help of the Golden Armor Snake's Inner Dan can there be a glimmer of hope. In other words, if you are released now, they will also die. ”

Cheng Bao was still about to argue, but was interrupted by Lin Dong waving his hand: "When the time comes, you really can't figure it out, and you think it's more fun to anger me than to be a chef, although you can try." Right now...... Before the autumn queen asks to behead, it is best to shut up. ”

Cheng Leopard said with a hideous face: "Don't think about it, you either kill me today or let me go, otherwise, ......"

Lin Dong rarely listened to nonsense, raised the Ruyi stool in his hand, and slammed Cheng Bao to faint.

Putting the Ruyi stool into the mobile counter, Lin Dong grabbed Cheng Leopard and walked to the carriage.

"Palm, shopkeeper......" Liu Hua and the two stammered, and some didn't know which one to ask first.

"I don't need to ask anything, and I can't explain anything about spiritual skills and artifacts to you." Lin Dong smiled and threw Cheng Bao's sturdy body into the carriage, if the two were martial artists, he believed that the matter of the iron ball would definitely shock the two of them to the point that they would never forget. But both of them are just ordinary people, and they have heard too much about the strangeness of spiritual weapons, and they have seen it with their own eyes, but they are not as shocking as martial artists. If you don't explain, the effect will be better.

The two of them were full of doubts, so they had to swallow back into their stomachs. As Lin Dong expected, although they were surprised by the horror of the iron ball, they did not have the slightest suspicion that it was a spiritual weapon.

After getting into the carriage, Lin Dong took out a water bag filled with the Golden Armor Snake Neidan and handed it to Yun Lan, asking, "I have broken through to the fifth level of the Mind Stage, how much do I drink?" ”

Yun Lan took the water bag and said the answer that had already been calculated in her heart: "Half a bottle should be enough, you better drink a few drops and a few drops." ”

Lin Dong grinned, he really couldn't eat too many good things, so he improved a realm, and the second time it actually rose so much.

Helplessly, he took out a small porcelain bottle containing the golden armor snake Neidan, shook it a few times, and after determining the capacity inside, Lin Dong pulled out the cork, tilted his neck, and after dropping a few drops into his mouth, he sat down cross-legged.

On the side, Yun Lan no longer helped Lin Dong refine the Golden Armor Snake Neidan as usual last time, pulled out the cork of the water bag, and after taking a sip, he also sat down cross-legged.

The carriage moved forward rapidly, and the wheels flipped so rapidly that it was impossible to see the trajectory of the axles.

Four days later, the carriage finally arrived at Yamasha City, came to the Lin Ji Inn that had not yet opened, and after deciding to add it to a branch of the inn system, he waved off Liu Hua and the others, and after Lin Dong knocked Cheng Bao out again on a bench, he came to Autumn Wind City alone through the utility room.

The night had already fallen, Lin Dong came all the way to the front yard, and after seeing that there was no one in the yard, he knocked on Ma Chun's door.

Yawning and opening the door, seeing Lin Dong standing outside the door, Ma Chun couldn't help but rejoice: "Shopkeeper, have you arrived at Shanye City?" ”

Lin Dong nodded: "It's already here, and you can send a new shopkeeper over early tomorrow morning." ”

Ma Chun nodded hurriedly: "Whether it is manpower or business methods, they are all ready." ”

"How are you going to do it?" Lin Dong asked.

"There are some differences with Nine Tiger City and Jiaoyi City." Ma Chun explained: "Since Fenglin Restaurant entered Yamba City, it has fought fiercely with the original guest restaurant, the largest restaurant in Yamaha City, and after more than a year, both of them have suffered a lot of vitality. According to my estimate, there is no need to take it slowly, with the various advantages of our inn, and then fight for three or five months, there are thirty or forty thousand taels of silver, as long as Fenglin Restaurant will not add silver, it is enough to grab seventy or eighty percent of the business. ”

"Okay, you can do it! Has Huang Lao come over? Lin Dong nodded, compared to slowly, there are advantages and disadvantages of spending money to grab popularity, if there are only one or two of more than a dozen branches, you don't have to worry about the problem of silver, but it is worth trying.

"I came to the inn the day before yesterday." Ma Chun said with a smile: "In one day, the accounts of our inn have been cleared, in the past two days, Huang Lao is bored, and I asked for the surname to hand over the matter of Zhang Luo Huanglian and Huang Xiang entering the academy to him." ”

"If Huang Lao is fine, the matter of publishing the book will also be handed over to him personally, and when all the branches are opened, it should be enough for him to pass the time for a few more days." Lin Dong smiled and asked, "How is the Fenglin Restaurant?" ”

Ma Chun's eyes flashed with anticipation, and he said excitedly: "After the shopkeeper left last time, the next day we launched a lecture on red wine and health knowledge, and various pamphlets were also flying all over the sky. The effect was good, and the number of diners in Fenglin Restaurant began to drop sharply on the second day, and on the third day, the cost of each person had to be reduced to 900 yuan and 128 yuan of silver. In less than five days, the cost of each person dropped all the way to five hundred dollars and one tael of silver. Yesterday, Fenglin Restaurant has announced that it will change its business method to the same as before, and the price of wine and food only needs to be discounted. ”

Lin Dong asked, "Are there any other actions?" ”

"Then the VIP card sent some small gifts, by the way......" Ma Chun suddenly remembered something, and said: "The day before yesterday, Ling Zhengyang came to a trip and said that he had something to do with the shopkeeper, and was sent away by me." It seems that there should be nothing to be done. ”

Lin Dong nodded, Ma Chun's eyesight should not be wrong.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Dong raised his head to meet Ma Chun's expectant gaze and asked, "Is the matter of the Spirit Stone Fan ready?" ”

"It's all right, everything is ready." Ma Chun was inexplicably excited, and said excitedly: "The shopkeeper said a word, and it can be launched tomorrow." ”

"Okay, tomorrow!" Lin Dong said heavily.

Ma Chun slapped his face and said happily: "Tomorrow, keep a slap to completely stun Ling Zhengyang." ”

"Hopefully!"

Lin Dong glanced back at the closed door and took out the worldly treasures from the treasure pavilions of the Ningji Sect and the Xingli Sect last time from the mobile counter.

In an instant, the room was full of light, pearls, agate, calligraphy and painting antiques, piled up like a hill.

"Palm, shopkeeper......" Ma Chun's eyes widened, and his voice stammered a little.

"I got it from Qingmei Mountain, and I forgot to give it to you last time." Lin Dong smiled: "You clean up, stay in the inn if it's useful, and sell it when it's useless." ”

Ma Chun swallowed his saliva, a windfall from the sky!
