Towards noon, the restaurant was full of diners who had come to enjoy the delicious food. Zhang Shunsan sat on his boss's chair, holding a celadon wine glass, looked at the customers in the store happily, and asked the maid on the side while sipping tea: "Recently, the business in the store has become more and more prosperous, you say, why is this?"

"Ah, it should be the boss that you have a good luck and bring fortune to our store. The maid who was standing quietly was startled by this question, and hurriedly said flatteringly.

"Nonsense!" Who knew that Zhang Shunsan was not only not happy after hearing this, but also glared back at her very angrily: "You usually serve me around, are you blind in your eyes and deaf in your ears? There are so many new customers in our store, and they are obviously here for the duel of Su Yunxian's brother that day." Although Su Xiandi temporarily changed the location of the duel, so that they didn't really see the scene of the duel later, these guests actually tasted the food of our fragrant restaurant, which was an invisible publicity for us. Oh, speaking of which, our store can be here today, thanks to Brother Su Yunxian. Think about how much luck and joy he has brought me over the years... ”

Zhang Shunsan's feelings burst out for a while, and he began to babble about the past, from how he was talented at the beginning, to how he later traveled to various cities, and finally how he returned to his hometown dismally, and was coldly looked at by the old people. Talking and talking about poetry, he was thinking about what "going to the countryside is like a rotten Ke person".

"It's here, wow, there are still so many people in this place. Bu Shi jumped to the front of the crowd and came to the door of the Xiang Shi Mansion, the original cherry mouth opened wide, and let out an exaggerated exclamation.

"It's not so much that there are so many people in it than I did the first two times. Ji Ning said with a faint smile, turning his head to look at Su Yun, "This friend of yours knows how to manage a business." ”

Su Yun secretly said to himself in his heart: he hasn't known Zhang Shunsan for a day or two, although this guy has made up his mind to run the restaurant well, but he still has that literati arrogance in his personality, and he has always disdained to do some promotion or promotion, just thinking that he can stand out with his own dishes. So although his restaurant has always been hot, the number of diners has never skyrocketed. At this moment, Su Yun really hadn't seen it. "Could it be that Brother Zhang has finally changed his character?" he thought to himself.

They were just about to walk into the door of the Xiang Food Mansion, when they happened to meet the Tang brothers and sisters who rushed over. Tang Yan seemed to be very afraid of Su Yun, and hurriedly hid behind her brother.

"Your Excellency Su Yun," Tang Yi arched his hand towards Su Yun and said in a rather friendly manner, "I really didn't expect us to meet directly at the door of this store, this is really a kind of fate." Before that, Tang checked it in detail and found that there were indeed a lot of problems. Later, at the banquet, I will make amends to you. ”

Tang Yi's voice was not only kind, but also seemed to have a little more unnatural sense of shame, which made Su Yun feel very puzzled, thinking to himself, why did this guy suddenly change sex?

Su Yun did not say the doubts in his heart, but walked into the Xiangshi Mansion under Tang Yi's courtesy gesture.

As soon as everyone entered the door, they saw Zhang Shunsan walking over. With a warm smile on his face, his hands were spread to the sides, making a gesture of hugging, and he said to several people in a loud voice: "A few people come to our store again, Zhang really feels like a spring breeze." Brother Su Xian, when you walked to this street just now, Brother Wei saw you. Heck, I'm so glad you came. He clasped his hands in front of his chest, and looked at the others behind Su Yun with a slight apology in his eyes, "Everyone, I'm really sorry. Zhang hasn't seen Brother Su Yunxian for many days, and his longing is irrepressible, and now he has a few gossips to talk to him, so please wait in the private room upstairs for a while, and we will finish talking soon. ”

"This... Su Yun didn't expect Zhang Shunsan to come out like this, and he was stunned for a moment. His heart kept roaring: Hey, hey, Brother Zhang, you can't do this... What should I say about you like that ...

Just when Su Yun felt at a loss, Ji Ning stood up at the right time: "Since that's the case, then let's go upstairs and order food first." What do you want to eat and don't want to eat?"

Su Yun breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Ji Ning gratefully: "You don't have to worry about me when you order, just order what you want." I chatted with Brother Zhang for a few words and came over soon. After speaking, he followed Zhang Shunsan to the upstairs room.

Ji Ning and the others followed the waiter to the private room on the second floor, pushed open the door, and a fresh and elegant fragrance of flowers came to the nostrils, Su Lin praised in surprise: "Wow, this smells so fragrant, what kind of flower is this?"

"This is a swallowtail flower from Nanling City, and when we traveled there, we were fascinated by the fragrance of this flower, just like you, so we tried our best to bring back a few seeds. Now these flowers have been specially cultivated by us, and there are already a certain number of them, which are used to decorate the VIP room on the second floor. The waiter explained to them in a tactful, elegant voice.

"Nanling's swallowtail flowers, haven't we seen them. Nagel said excitedly, "I'll just tell you how this smell is so familiar." But the seeds of swallowtail flowers are the treasures of Nanling, and they have never been passed on. ”

Ji Ning smiled, walked into the room and looked around: "This shows that the owner of this shop is indeed not an ordinary person." To be able to build such a chic hotel here is indeed a person worthy of admiration. He walked around the room for half a circle and found a seat to sit down casually, "I don't know what he is looking for Brother Su for this time, I always feel that he is not just a simple reminiscence." ”

At this time, in Zhang Shunsan's room, he was sitting upright on a bench, looking at Su Yun opposite with a serious expression.

Looking at Zhang Shunsan like this, Su Yun felt uncomfortable, and felt a little funny, so he asked: "Brother Zhang, you asked me to come up, and you sent all the maids out, what do you want to tell me?"

Zhang Shunsan didn't say a word, just looked at Su Yun with solemn eyes, and only slowly spoke after a while, his voice was unusually casual and very low: "Brother Xian, you won the decisive battle with that Tang Yi, right?"

Su Yun didn't expect him to ask this suddenly, and replied in a daze, "Yes, what's wrong?"

"In this way, Brother Xian, you are already a professional, and you are the one who is more outstanding?" Zhang Shunsan looked directly into Su Yun's eyes and said in a serious tone.

"I can't say I'm outstanding, but I'm already a professional. Su Yun replied one by one, and at the same time kept wondering what Zhang Shunsan meant by this.

Zhang Shunsan took a deep breath, the green tendons in his temples protruded slightly, and his voice became deeper and lower: "Dissatisfied brother, I stayed up all night last night after learning that you are a professional. There is a thing that has been suppressed in my heart for a long time, and I have never mentioned it to others, and now I want to ask you for help. ”

Su Yun's expression froze, and he immediately reacted: "Brother Zhang came to me to discuss something?"

Zhang Shunsan nodded: "Yes, I do have something to ask Brother Xian." ”

"Brother Zhang, but it doesn't matter, if there is anything I can do to help you, just ask. Su Yun knew in his heart at this time - he was so mysterious, it turned out that he had something to ask for his help.

Seeing Su Yun say this, Zhang Shunsan didn't twist, got up and walked to the bookshelf in the room, and took out a wide and thick book from the central floor. He came to Su Yun with the book in both hands, and his expression became more and more solemn.

Zhang Shunsan opened the book, Su Yun got up and looked at the book, and was suddenly shocked in his heart: there was a big hole in the book, and there was a quaint reddish-brown wooden box hidden in it.

The material of the wooden box looks very special, although the original type of tree can no longer be seen due to the polishing process, but the magic that emanates from it shows that this wood has an extraordinary origin.

Zhang Shunsan held the book with one hand, and gently pressed the other hand on the wooden box, slowly injecting spiritual power into it. Something strange happened, the surface of the wooden box glowed brightly, and then the wooden box slowly opened on its own, revealing what was hidden inside.

"This is!" Su Yun's eyes cried out in surprise as soon as he touched the contents of the box.

"It seems that the virtuous brother recognized this treasure, and he is really knowledgeable. It's better this way, and it saves the effort of explaining to my brother. Zhang Shunsan didn't care about Su Yun's gaffe, as if he had expected this situation a long time ago - he knew that the value of this thing was extraordinary, and ordinary people would definitely be amazed when they saw it. If it weren't for its preciousness, Zhang Shunsan wouldn't have carefully hidden it for nearly ten years.

"Lei Yan. Su Yun took a few deep breaths in succession, calmed down his excitement, and said slowly.

"Yes, it's Lei Yan. Zhang Shunsan nodded and looked into Su Yun's eyes, "Looking at the way you look, you should know how precious this thing is, right?"

Su Yun smiled bitterly, secretly saying that he was really too out of shape. However, in the face of this kind of treasure that almost only appears in legends, his performance can only be said to be human. He took another breath and said slowly: "Yes, Lei Yan, also known as Lei Shi. It is described as "Lei", which contains three "stones", because it is the hardest of all stones, and the magic contained in it is also very special. Some people even believe that this stone is the source of all stones, the ancestor of all stones in the world. ”

"Lei Yan not only has great value in itself, can be used to forge spiritual weapons, strengthen the body, but also some people believe that it is related to the birth of the world, so some fanatics are very eager for them, even to the point of obsession, in order to get a piece of Lei Yan unscrupulous means. Zhang Shunsan nodded and picked up Su Yun's words. "Therefore, since I got it by chance from a great man, I have never dared to reveal it to others, lest I should lead to death. My parents died early, Brother Su Xian, you are the only person I can trust in this world. Earlier, I didn't know that you were a professional, and I didn't tell you because it would be useless to tell you, but only to increase your troubles and risks, so I didn't tell you. I took it out today because I wanted to entrust you with one thing. ”

Su Yun looked at Zhang Shunsan with a solemn expression, very touched by his unreserved trust, and at the same time knew in his heart: to let him tell the truth like this, there must be something very important and difficult that he needs to help with.

Zhang Shunsan closed the box, put it on the table next to him, turned to Su Yun and said, "Brother Xian, that's the case." The owner of this stone is a strong man who is not in the world. He was in a terrible crisis, mortally wounded and dying, and it just so happened that I had traveled to his place and was entrusted by him to obtain this treasure on his deathbed. But this stone did not bring me any good, on the contrary, it brought only endless pain and suffering. Before he died, the strong man begged me to take the stone to a temple, saying that the people there would give me a matching gift in return after accepting it. But when I trekked through mountains and rivers to the temple he was talking about, it was already dilapidated and had become a gathering place for spirit animals. I had no choice but to accept the stone myself. But for so many years, I have often stayed awake at night, not only because I have failed to make a promise to myself, but also because the magic contained in this stone is so strong that even if I am sealed by this box, I cannot escape its influence. I didn't dare to sell it, and I thought it would be a shame to throw it away. Now I have finally thought of a good way, that is, to transfer it to you, please take it with you to find the descendant of that temple, and give him this rock, and I will be considered to have lived up to that person's commission. ”
