The deputy manager recorded it on the roster and said, "Okay, you stand on the left, and someone will take you to the flower room." Next. ”

......

When it finally came to me, I stepped forward quickly, bowed down and said, "Lord Deputy Chief, my name is Eighteen, and I am applying for a job of chopping firewood in the firewood room." ”

The deputy chief manager looked up and saw my appearance, frowned deeply and said: "What are these boys doing, they actually recruited such an ugly monster back, forget it, ugly is ugly, anyway, no one can see you, you will be honest with me in the future, and chop your firewood well." ”

I hurriedly agreed: "Thank you, deputy manager, the villain has done his best." ”

The deputy manager gave me a sigh of encouragement and motioned for me to step aside.

Finally, when everyone had registered and were taken back to their places of work by the people from each department, I and two men were taken away by a fat man, who took us to a big room and said, "This is the kitchen, and you will work here from now on, that ugly bastard, you go to the kitchen in the backyard, there is an old man there, let him arrange for you to work." ”

I hurriedly said yes and ran to the backyard alone.

The yard is very large, and there are many people in it, some are washing vegetables, some are making meat, and they are very busy. There was a lot of firewood piled up in the northeast corner, and it should be there, and I walked over and saw an old man with snow-white hair sitting there chopping firewood.

I said respectfully, "Hello, uncle." ”

The old man looked up, looked at me, and said, "What are you doing, is there something wrong?" and listening to his tone, he did not look like a woodcutter at all, without any humility.

I said, "I've been sent to help you chop wood." ”

The old man looked me up and down, and said lightly: "Find a wooden pier by yourself, split it, remember, you have to split it evenly, so that the guys in the kitchen have to pick and choose." ”

I nodded, and found a wooden pier from the side and sat down. The old man threw me a firewood knife and pointed to the log on the side.

I took a log and put it in front of me, and gently chopped it with a firewood knife, and the woodknife was embedded in it, and I chopped it hard, and the log was split in half. It's a pity that you can't use magic and vindictiveness, so let's split it.

At the end of the day, I didn't chop much firewood, but I was tired and had a sore back.

When it's time for dinner in the evening. The old man didn't know where he brought the food and divided half of it with me, and said, "Eat, rest early, and continue to cut tomorrow, your current speed can't catch up with my old man, how can this work." ”

I turned out the food and asked, "How long have you been here?" ”

The old man was stunned for a moment and said, "I forgot, why have it been thirty years?" ”

I was surprised and said, "You've been chopping firewood for thirty years, why don't you go out?"

The old man snorted and said, "What's the good thing about going out, although it's a little bitter here, but life is very fulfilling, it's not very good to chop wood and chop tired during the day, and sleep when you're full at night." Oh, by the way, you can eat later. After speaking, he turned around and returned to the firewood room, and after a while, he walked out with a broken gourd, and saw that the gourd seemed to be closer than anything else, and he said: "This thing is not easy to come by, do you want to have some?"

I asked, "What is this?"

The old man smiled mysteriously and said, "Qiong Jelly Jade Liquid." ”

I suddenly realized that it was wine, I shook my hand and said, "I still don't want it, I chop too little wood during the day, and when I finish eating, you go to rest, and I'll chop some more." ”

The old man looked at me in surprise and said, "Although the young man is ugly, he is quite diligent, then my old man is not welcome, do you know why there are people here? I guess you have also guessed, I am old, my physical strength is no longer good, and I am almost unable to use it in the kitchen." I'm not going to be polite to you, and you don't have to be too tired, just cut it almost. By the way, what's your name?"

The old man's words warmed my heart, and he said, "My name is Eighteen, and you can call me that in the future." ”

The old man nodded and said, "You just call me Lao Chai, I have long forgotten my name." ”

I was stunned and said, "Then what's the matter, you're so old, so let's call you Uncle Chai." ”

Lao Chai took a sip of wine and said, "Whatever you want." You don't really drink some. ”

I smiled and shook my head.

Late at night, Lao Chai had already fallen asleep, I looked around and saw that there was no one, and with a flick of my magical energy, countless small light blades appeared, gently dividing a large amount of firewood into even small strips. I waved my hand, and the firewood was piled aside, but unfortunately, when I was captured, they took my Socrates staff, and now I guess I can't even beat the passenger liner.

After piling up the firewood, I went back to the firewood room to take a look at the old firewood, who was already snoring loudly. I pulled out a rag and wrapped it around my face, poured magical energy into my feet, and flew up the kitchen eaves.

The surroundings were quiet, and because the palace was so big, I didn't dare to go far easily, so I circled around the kitchen about 100 meters, and my defense was very lax, and I could only occasionally meet a group of patrolling soldiers. I secretly wrote down the terrain I had walked, returned to the firewood room, took out a pen and paper from the space bag, and drew the places I had written down.

After 10 days, I have basically figured out the situation of the palace, the demon palace is divided into two layers, the outer layer is where we stay, all of them serve the inner palace, and surround the entire inner palace, the inner palace I once tried to enter once, the guards are very strict, even a light movement of Xiao Rou will attract the attention of the guards. Muzi and the Demon Emperor should be inside.

I chopped Chai He with a heavy heart, and Uncle Chai asked, "Eighteen, what do you want?"

I woke up and said, "Nothing. ”

Uncle Chai smiled slightly, and didn't ask any more. This Uncle Chai always gives me a feeling that I can't see through, although there is no fluctuation of magical energy on his body, but because of the experience of many passenger ships, I am still very careful. Every time you go out to explore at night, you have to make sure that Uncle Chai is asleep before acting.

The only thing that makes me happy is that my magical energy has recovered extremely quickly recently, although there is no golden ball, but the magical energy composed mainly of light elements is surprisingly mellow, and the only golden ball looms in my mind, and my whole body seems to be full of power. It doesn't feel like it's inferior to when it was at its best. It's really incomprehensible why the energy will be denser when there are fewer gold balls. I didn't have time to think too much about this, because even if I was suppressing when I was practicing, my body would emit a faint white light, so I chose the time for my cultivation during the day, repeating the action of chopping wood, while secretly condensing the light element, and constantly transforming it in my body.
