Su Ling and his entourage of five, led by the middle-aged man, returned to the dilapidated restaurant.

That night, the middle-aged man cooked in person, and the five of them ate and chatted, and the scene was lively for a while.

It's just a dishwashing job, because a few people don't want to do it, so the middle-aged man took out the small roulette wheel again, and the middle-aged man flicked the roulette hand, and then the five people stared at the pointer intently.

The pointer rotated round and round until it gradually weakened, and the impartial one pointed to Li Qi again.

Li Qi's face instantly turned bitter gourd-shaped, and in the laughter of Su Ling and Fang Ling, he picked up the bowls and pans and walked towards the inner room in a sullen manner.

As soon as Li Qi left, the middle-aged man opened the conversation again, "In the next period of time, I will work with Fang Ling to forge a weapon, so in the next few days, the work of cooking rice and washing dishes will be entrusted to the three of you." The middle-aged man said as he kept his eyes on Su Ling and Ziyang, "By the way, you should be able to cook, right?"

"Cooking!" Su Ling and Ziyang stared at each other, and both spread their hands, indicating that they would not.

"Since I was a child, my sisters in the Tenderness Pavilion have cooked, I can't cook, I can only eat. Su Ling scratched his head, shrugged his shoulders, and said in a low voice.

The three of them laughed when they heard this, looking at Su Ling's eyes as if they were looking at a rice bucket, Su Ling couldn't stand the eyes of the three of them, and was about to change the topic, looked at Bai Ziyang, and said, "Ziyang, this kind of big thing will be handed over to you, you are the one who does big things, and this kind of thing should be done by you." ”

"I won't either," Ziyang looked at Su Ling, quite embarrassed, "I won't tell you anything, since I was a child, I have only cultivated, studied martial arts, and cooked rice, and this kind of thing has always been done by the housekeeper at home." ”

The middle-aged man looked at the two rice buckets, very helpless, stretched out his hand and pointed to the back room, and asked the three of them, "Will the one inside?"

"Li Qi?" Su Ling's face showed a sneer, "If he can cook, I, Su Ling, will write the word upside down." ”

The middle-aged man frowned, spread his hands, and said, "In that case, I'll write a rice ratio and a stir-fry ratio, and the three of you will try to cook it." You also know that when I have cultivated to my level, I don't need to eat at all, and I'm not here for your good. ”

Middle-aged hot made a generous statement, but in Su Ling's ears, it was not such a taste, Su Ling secretly thought, you guy, you don't like to eat hot.

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he went upstairs to get a pen and paper, and began to write. The middle-aged man's words are flying and dancing, and he can't tell which calligraphy he inherits, but the crooked font has no beauty no matter how you look at it.

Su Ling looked at the middle-aged man's words, and was secretly trying to laugh, this word is not as good as Lao Tzu's writing. The middle-aged man seemed to notice Su Ling's gaze, turned his head and glared at Su Ling, and said, "I wrote cursive writing." ”

Su Ling was kicked by the middle-aged man, and suddenly fell down, and no longer looked at the middle-aged man's words, but he was still secretly funny in his heart, and he wrote in cursive, your word is really a goddess scattered flowers, and if you don't spend a lot of effort, you must not be able to understand it.

In about two or three minutes, the middle-aged man had already written dozens of words, and Su Ling looked at it, it turned out to be rice and a large pot of soup.

The big pot of soup, as the name suggests, is a lot of things thrown into the pot and stewed in a pot, the night Su Ling and the four of them first came, they ate this. But don't look at this kind of thing to cook in a disorderly way, it really tastes so good.

After the middle-aged man finished writing these words, he put the pen away, and when he was done, he said, "What's the matter, which of you cooks?"

Su Ling and Bai Ziyang, you look at me, I look at you, no one wants to pick up that piece of paper.

The middle-aged man continued, "One person cooks, one person washes dishes, one person cleans the house, and one person goes out to buy some ingredients, and the three of you are just right. ”

"This," Su Ling scratched his head and said, "Then Li Qi washes the dishes, he has washed them twice anyway, and I will do the rest with Ziyang." ”

Bai Ziyang nodded, "Okay, then do it." ”

The middle-aged man led Fang Ling upstairs, it seemed that he was going to teach something again, and at the same time turned to the two of them and said, "You guys go to bed early, get up early tomorrow morning, you can go to the steamed bun shop in the east to buy some steamed buns and give us breakfast." ”

"In this wilderness, there is still a bun shop?" Su Ling wondered.

"More than ten miles to the east, there is a small town, not to mention the bun shop in the town, there are restaurants. After the middle-aged man said this, he led Fang Ling upstairs, and the meaning of his words made Su Ling understand in an instant.

This person must be afraid that the food cooked by a few of his people will be unpalatable, and remind himself that a few people are going to the east to buy food and come back, Su Ling thought, this is fine, save the effort of cooking, but tomorrow I have to get up early, more than ten miles, with my current foot strength, I have to walk for half an hour, and it will take nearly an hour to go back and forth.

Su Ling smiled and thought to himself, this is good, a few of them originally went to the academy to study, but now they have become errand runners.

......

They stayed here with the middle-aged man for half a year, and during this time, Fang Ling and the others barely appeared in front of the three of them except after going downstairs during meal time. However, looking at the way the two of them frowned and pondered all day long, Su Ling also felt that those three stone pieces should not be so easy to refine.

In addition to running to the town three times a day, one trip in the morning, noon and evening, with a full meal, and doing the homework that must be done every day, the rest of the free time, Su Ling was not only used to make fun of Li Qi, but later found that it was not interesting to quarrel for a long time, and the two didn't even bother to quarrel.

But there is always some entertainment, and when Su Ling passed by the town, he bought a chessboard and prepared to go back and spend time with the two of them.

It's just that since Li Qi learned the Mai physiognomy method, the whole person seems to have become very smart, Su Ling can't play Li Qi no matter how he plays, and then he doesn't look for Li Qi to play chess, so he was ridiculed by Li Qi, Su Ling pretended not to hear, and began to pester Bai Ziyang to play chess.

Bai Ziyang was so focused on martial arts that he was confused all day long, even thinking about the moves of the Red Dust God and the Transcendent Buddha when he walked, and how to take advantage of his strengths and achieve a set of martial arts of his own. I don't know anything about playing chess, and after Su Ling introduced the rules of the chess game, Ziyang and Su Ling began to play chess.

This time, Su Ling felt that he had found an opponent, and it felt like a chess opponent, and it was extremely interesting to play. Therefore, Su Ling took every step very seriously, and when Bai Ziyang saw Su Ling like this, he vaguely felt that on this small chessboard, he seemed to be able to find something in common with his martial arts, so he was also extremely serious.

So the two great chessboard masters began to go back and forth, and they enjoyed it.

Every time the two played chess, Li Qi would lean to the side to watch, shaking his head while watching, and at the same time his mouth was smacking, that look really made people want to beat him. But this guy just shook his head and squeaked, didn't speak, and boasted that he was a true gentleman watching chess and not saying anything, which really made people angry.

The chess skills of the two masters are like children playing at home in Li Qi's eyes. Li Qi watched it for five days in a row, and finally got tired of it, so he stopped following the two of them, hid to the side alone, and studied Mai physiognomy with peace of mind.

Su Lingle is like this, and whenever he has time, he will find Ziyang to play chess.

A month after the five of them returned to Xiaolou, perhaps because of the swallowed ambergris, Ziyang successfully broke through to the Dragon Teng Eightfold, and in the later time, Ziyang began to absorb the Dragon Crystal, and after the entire Dragon Crystal was absorbed, Ziyang successfully broke through to the Dragon Teng Eightfold Peak. As a result, Su Ling often sighed that Ziyang's body was like a bottomless pit, and the ambergris dragon crystal, a worldly body forging holy object, really allowed him to rise to a small stage.

Within half a year, Su Ling also cultivated from the first level of the dragon to the second level of the dragon, and as for the cultivation of spiritual power, from the original Shenqi fourfold, broke through to the middle level of the Shenqi fourfold, which is still with the help of the two major divine trees, which shows the slow improvement of spiritual power.

As for Li Qi, this guy studied Mai physiognomy every day, and from time to time he wrote and drew some strange patterns on the ground, and Su Ling couldn't understand it, but one day two months later, Li Qi suddenly ran to Su Ling and Ziyang, who were playing chess, and said, "I broke through to the Dragon Triple Triple!"

Su Ling and Ziyang ignored it and continued to play chess.

Li Qi obviously didn't expect this move, and couldn't help but sit down and said, "I really broke through to the Dragon Teng Triple!"

"Hmm," Su Ling hummed softly, his eyes still staring at the chessboard.

What tricks are these two boys playing again, Li Qi thought to himself, don't eat the dumb loss on your lips again when the time comes, and there is no place to talk about it. Thinking of this, Li Qi got up, snorted, and left the two.

Sure enough, as Li Qi expected, when Li Qi got up, Su Ling stopped Li Qi and sneered, "What is there to boast about Dragon Teng Triple, everyone Ziyang was Dragon Teng Eightfold a month ago." ”

Li Qi suddenly had a smile on his face, looked back at Su Ling, and also sneered, "Hehe, how can someone be so heavy?"

Su Ling's smile suddenly stopped on his face, and he couldn't say anything to refute after thinking for a long time, and finally held back a sentence, "I don't rely on cultivation, what's the matter, do you want to try a fight?"

"Cut, layman, you know that there is a fight all day long, can force solve the problem?" Li Qi threw down this sentence, looked at Su Ling with a blue face, his heart was extremely happy, and he left the two of them with a smile.

Su Ling sat down angrily and muttered, "This Li Qi doesn't know how to respect big brother." ”

Bai Ziyang saw that Su Ling was deflated, and he shook his head helplessly, his eyes were still staring at the chess game, and he said with a smile, "If you two can say a few words, the world will be quiet." ”

Su Ling put down a chess piece and said to Ziyang, "It's been half a year, and I don't know how Fang Ling and Uncle are forging their tools." ”

As soon as Su Ling's words fell, he suddenly felt a turmoil in the entire heaven and earth, and there was a buzz in his head, and then everything returned to nature, but the heaven and earth spirits in the surrounding air were actually consumed.

Su Ling and Ziyang didn't care about playing chess, and ran upstairs together.

Li Qi on the other side also ran into the house and rushed upstairs.
