Chapter 22: Probation

After Zhao Haipeng took Wu Demon Lao's nose around for a while, he finally came back to me. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The old cat demon glanced at me, and snorted coldly: "The kid is three short and five long, his life is black, and his yin and yang are not good.

Zhao Haipeng shook his head and said, "You are talking about his longevity, what about his wealth?"

"Wealth?" "Wealth?" Wu Demon Lao squinted his eyes and looked at my face for a while, and replied confidently: "Sleepy like a full head, a phoenix hanging down his tail, his eyes are busy with no gold, his forehead is narrow, and he is poor, at first glance, he suffered a loss in the first half of his life, and he was fooled in the second half of his life.

Wu Demon Lao's words can be called precise horror!

I know best in my heart that there are exactly 300,000 deposits left in my account now, and the sum of the money and expenses I have fought for over the years is estimated to be about 2 million.

This old goblin is not only powerful, but also hexagram...... That's right!

After listening to Wu Demon Lao's words, Zhao Haipeng shook his head and said: "I don't think so, this Boss Huo is down-to-earth and hardworking, and he has caught up with the reform and opening up, and the good period of economic transformation, as long as you work hard, and I will do my best to assist, don't say 300,000 when you die, even if it is 3 million inheritance, there is no problem, you must have miscalculated!"

"I miscalculated? Ha! I will be wrong!" said Wu Demon Elder arrogantly.

"Since you're not miscalculated...... Then do we dare to gamble!" Zhao Haipeng said unconvinced: "I have a way to let him fight for three million within three years, so that your magic stick theory will not be destroyed!"

"Three million accumulated wealth?" Wu Demon Lao squinted at me and said, "As far as his 'wealth and flowing water' face is concerned, unless God is drunk, it's all." I can bet with you, but it's ......."

The old monster's eyes were rolling, and he looked at me, and then at the people who were doing it, and he seemed to be unable to make up his mind.

"My life! If this Huo Sansi can't leave three million fortunes after three years, my life will be given to you!" Zhao Haipeng said a word, and his words were shocked!

"What?" Even Demon Elder Wu was shocked by Zhao Haipeng's words, he looked at Zhao Haipeng again, and then said, "You have thought about it!"

Zhao Haipeng nodded.

"Hahaha!" After laughing wildly, Wu Demon said to Zhao Haipeng: "Interesting, you have the shadow of your fifth ancestor 'Zhao Buzhun', but you don't know if you have his ability." I'll bet with you!"

"If within three years, I assist Huo Sansi to open a restaurant and earn enough three million, you will spare his life!" Zhao Haipeng said.

"Deal!" Wu Demon Lao picked up the lantern as he spoke, turned away, and added as he walked: "But if he can't earn so much money after three years, I will accept the lives of the three of you here, hahaha......"

"Three people?!" Zhao Shuihe reacted at this time, and said to the figure of Wu Demon who was far away: "Why are there three people? It has nothing to do with me! Hey! Come back!"

To tell the truth, I sympathize with Zhao Shuihe very much, she just ate a lamb skewer for no reason, and she was targeted by the goblins, which can be called a worse existence than me, but my sympathy is useless, because this is the words of Wu Demon Lao, and Wu Demon Lao is a six-hundred-year-old demon ancestor......

Zhao Shuihe's grievances and complaints, the demon ancestor did not hear, the old thing hunched back, pressed the lantern, as if floating away, before leaving, he sang the speechless song again: "I love you, but you love him, I am really tired of this game......"

When the old man's jet-black body disappeared at the turn of the alley, the lights around us suddenly turned on again.

At this time, the frozen air around us flowed again, and the stalls near us immediately became noisy, Zhang Ah Si still crawled on the ground and smirked at us, while the barbecue stall owner looked at the cracked light bulb above our heads with a stunned expression.

When everything was restored, the beer glass in front of me suddenly splattered into some transparent debris, and I fished them out, only to find that they were the remnants of a cracked light bulb overhead.

Right now...... Did it just fall?

The fragments of the bulb fell from the air on the table, but the filament was still on, and each diner only glanced at it and ate it again, as if nothing had happened, or ...... Time really stood still.

Suddenly, as if in a dream, I stared at the fragments of the light bulb, on which I reflected my pale, bloodless self, for a long time.

Helpless, I said to myself: "I ..... Three more years to live?"

"Three years!" Zhao Haipeng patted me on the shoulder and said: "If you fight for three million in three years, you can get rid of the cat demon, otherwise, everyone will accompany you to the funeral! Work hard, work hard ......"

At this time, I suddenly heard Zhao Shuihe crying on the seat.

This little girl is the most innocent, but she has a lot of ghost ideas, and she took the initiative to stay with me as a white case guy, which is the reason why she has today's result, fundamentally speaking, she is purely to blame, and no one can blame anyone.

"Don't cry!" Zhao Haipeng said: "I said a long time ago that you should go back to Yangzhou, but you still have to do a white case here, you can only consider yourself unlucky, but you can rest assured ....."

"It's my business!" Zhao Shuihe yelled and jumped off the chair, she shook her head as she ran: "Just hit the yin and evil, who knew that you actually provoked the demon ancestor! You, you all bullied me! I'll go back to my brother to ......"

Soon, the figure of Na Nizi disappeared at the end of the street.

The night was still cold, and my life was put on a three-year probation.

Later, Zhao Shuihe did not go back to Huaiyang's hometown to find her brother, she cried, she made trouble, but she understood better that now we are grasshoppers on a rope, instead of making trouble like this, it is better to work hard for three years, everyone earns enough money, and it is realistic enough to save your life.

As for the difficulty of fighting for three million in three years, I can say that it is a general thing, an ordinary medium-sized restaurant like ours, after a year's balance, the boss can have a profit of four or five hundred thousand yuan, three million, I don't eat or drink for six years, let alone only three years.

So, my initial mood was hopeless, confused, and exciting...... Scorched.

My only hope is Zhao Haipeng, after all, Zhao is the mastermind of all this, and he explained to me in detail afterwards, why did he take me to play this "life bet" with almost no chance of winning!

First of all, Zhao and I described in detail how terrifying the power of the "Demon Ancestor" was.

He said that the goblins on TV and novels that have been thousands or tens of thousands of years old at every turn are all nonsense, and the real power of demons is not estimated according to the length of cultivation, but according to the number of tribulations.

Zhao said that in ancient times, the cultivation of goblins took one calamity as a cycle, and in the words of Daozu Ge Hong, it was called "wood with a thunder as a calamity, beast with a death as a calamity, fish with a dry as a calamity, insect with a fire as a calamity, twenty-one calamities as a goblin, and thirty-six calamities as the demon ancestor."

As far as the cat demon I provoked is concerned, the lifespan of a cat is generally fifteen years, and the goblin has lived for more than 600 years, and the beast has died and died, which means that people have experienced more than 40 cycles of life and death, so that they have today's Taoism and ability, and they can be called demon ancestors.

What is the concept of forty tribulations? Here can be compared horizontally with myths and legends, according to Taoist theory, if people have escaped the "three calamities, six tribulations and seventy-two thunder tribulations", they can become immortals, and the Monkey King in Journey to the West has the ability to make trouble in the sky, and it is only because the Bodhi ancestor taught him the ability to avoid the three calamities, and by some coincidence, the Jade Emperor can sit in the heavenly palace, but also because people have survived 1,750 tribulations.

By analogy, how terrifying is this old demon who has successfully avoided more than forty cycles of life and death....... Zhao Haipeng let me want to go by myself!

Hearing this, I admit that I was so scared that I was about to pee my pants, but I wondered why Zhao Haipeng, a cook, knew so much about the catastrophe, and someone in his Zhao family had ever become an immortal? Or had he invited goblins to dinner before?

Regarding this question, Zhao Haipeng told me frankly: "No, my ancestor once provoked a demon ancestor who had gone through sixty-four tribulations more than 400 years ago, and then the two sides fought the law, and the ancestor won by luck." Therefore, I know some of these things, not only do I know, but I also know how to deal with the Demon Ancestor. ”

Demons, like resentful spirits, have weaknesses, although these goblins are powerful, they are still animals in nature, with the inherent weaknesses of animals, and only by making full use of these weaknesses can we defeat those ghosts.

Speaking of this, Zhao Haipeng pointed out to me again: "I know why you wonder why I have to accept such an unreliable bet, but if you don't accept it, you will definitely die, and although the demon ancestor is cunning and even cheats, he will definitely keep his promise, as long as we unite within three years and try our best to work hard, we will definitely be able to fight for three million." If you don't even believe in yourself, no one will be able to help you! As for those feudal superstitious fatalism, to hell with them!"

Zhao Haipeng's words can be described as quite inspiring, but I don't understand why such a person who knows "gods and ghosts" so well never believes in fate and superstition.

Maybe...... It has something to do with some of his experiences.

After this battle, although I was in a low mood, I knew that this was no longer a matter of one person, and my performance in the next three years involved the fate of the two clansmen of the Zhao family, and the operation of my hotel, and I was also entangled in my own sorrows.

Seeing that Zhao Haipeng is so energetic, and Zhao Shuihe can also accept fate, I, an unlucky ghost who has everything to do, can't be lost!

So, after the initial loss and confusion, I thought about opening!

Isn't it just a forty-year-old black cat? Come on, sir, I'll prove it to you, even if it's a salted fish, there will be a day when it turns over, not to mention that I'm a living person who is the primate of all things!

Anyone can say bold words, but once they are implemented, I find that it is not so easy.

On the third day of gambling with the demon ancestor, I cooked fish with Huo Ji...... Suddenly I couldn't drive it anymore.

As soon as I opened that morning, the Work Safety Supervision Bureau, led by the Chengguan Brigade, found me, and they took out a legal search warrant and a "Notice of Suspension of Business", saying that I had been reported that the fish I made had quality problems, and that there had been poisoning of diners, and that I needed to be closed for inspection.

Looking at the book of closure and rectification in the hands of law enforcement officers, I was stupid all of a sudden.
