Chapter IV: Transition

The next day, Zhao Mengnan got up early in the morning, the old man had already prepared a meal, Zhao Mengnan wanted to leave directly, but the old man was hospitable, so Zhao Mengnan had to stay and eat.

"Child, eat more to have strength", the old grandmother put a piece of meat in Zhao Mengnan's bowl, and told him to be careful outside, saying that the world is very chaotic, thieves are rampant, and if you are not careful, you will lose your life.

Zhao Mengnan listened carefully, the two old men were very friendly to him, which made him very moved, and he also wanted to stay and take care of the two old men, but he still had things to do and couldn't stay.

"After eating, let the second baby next door take you to the market," the old man said earnestly.

"Well, I will definitely come back to see you in the future", Zhao Mengnan said, secretly deciding in his heart.

"Remember, don't make trouble," the grandmother told with a smile. The two of them have grown up here all their lives, helpless, without relatives, and young people like Zhao Mengnan like them very much and treat them as their own relatives.

"Well, I'm done eating", Zhao Mengnan put down the dishes and chopsticks and did not leave immediately.

"Ahem...... "The old grandmother got stuck in her throat with a mouthful of food.

Zhao Mengnan hurriedly walked behind the old man, patted her on the back and said, "Slow down." ”

"It's okay, old man, go call the second baby", the old grandmother said, she was much more comfortable.

The old man put down the dishes and chopsticks, took Zhao Mengnan out of the gate, and came to the door next door and shouted, "Second baby." ”

"Oh, Grandpa Qin", the second baby opened the door and walked out of it, he was sixteen or seventeen years old, and his appearance was simple.

"Later, you can take this brother to the market", Grandpa Qin ordered, and he pushed Zhao Mengnan to the side of the second child.

In this way, Zhao Mengnan and Erwazi set foot on the road to the market, Erwazi is 17 years old this year, working as a waiter in the bazaar, he dealt with an object in the store, the two have a good relationship, Erwazi said that he would marry her after he had achievements.

"Brother Nan, what are you going to do in the bazaar?" Erwazi asked as she walked, there was still some distance from the bazaar, so the two chatted happily.

"I want to make some money first, and then I will go to the city to learn spells and practice hard," Zhao Mengnan said, and then asked, "By the way, why don't you go to learn spells from a teacher, Erwazi?"

"I can't cultivate, people like us can't cultivate by nature, and only by working hard to earn money can we get ahead", a trace of gloom flashed in the eyes of the second baby.

Zhao Mengnan's heart was shaken, and he didn't continue to ask, he knew that the second baby was not born to his current parents, so he could feel the anguish in the second baby's heart. After that, the second baby asked a lot about the world, and Zhao Mengnan told him a lot of interesting things, and the second baby was fascinated, and there were his parents there.

Soon the two came to the bazaar, which was not prosperous, but it had a unique flavor, some of the pavilions followed the ancient style, while others were modern, and the two different styles blended together to form a strange beauty.

This is a world where ancient and modern meet, the ancients came here after they died, and not all of them passed away, they lived to this era, and the prosperity has been continued, and it is said that they can be reborn in the end, even if they are a little worse, they can also be immortal for thousands of years.

"I said Brother Nan, you might as well go to our store to work, the boss is not bad", the second baby invited Zhao Mengnan with a smile.

Zhao Mengnan hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed. He just came to this world, he didn't know much about anything, and he didn't have acquaintances, according to what Grandpa Qin said, the original place that came to this world corresponded to the human world, originally Zhao Mengnan could find acquaintances who came to this world before him in that area, after all, many people have died in their village since he was born, but Jin Yan took him in the water a few times, and he doesn't know where he is now, let alone looking for acquaintances.

The second baby took Zhao Mengnan to the hotel where he worked, the hotel said that it was not big, it was not small, and the total number of employees was about 30 people.

"Xiao Er, why are you here, you're almost late", as soon as she entered the store, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl walked over, she was wearing the hotel's unique staff uniform, her long hair tied at the back of her head, and she looked extremely capable.

"Isn't it time yet", the second baby joked, the girl in front of him was his little girlfriend, although both of them are very young, but the relationship is very firm, which has a lot to do with their life experience.

After that, the second baby introduced Zhao Mengnan to the manager, and the manager nodded and agreed without saying a word, this is for the sake of the second baby's face, and the second is that there are indeed not many waiters in the store, and there are a few people who want to resign this month, and she has no choice.

In this way, Zhao Mengnan started his first job after coming to the netherworld, although there are not many guests today, but there are not many people working, relatively speaking, he is still very busy, Zhao Mengnan went to work for the first time, physically and mentally exhausted, when he got off work, the second baby asked him to go back and live with him, but he refused, he didn't want to go back to eat two for nothing, the two old people lived very difficult, if you add him, you can imagine what kind of scene it is.

Zhao Mengnan said goodbye to the second baby and came to the dormitory arranged by the hotel, which is a four-person room, bunk beds, and four people live in it. These two are old people, they look to be in their eighties, and through today's work, Zhao Mengnan also found that most of them are elderly people, whether they are guests or workers.

Both of them lived in the upper bunk, and when they felt Zhao Mengnan's arrival, they both opened their eyes, glanced at Zhao Mengnan casually, and didn't say anything after that.

Zhao Mengnan knew that these two people, like him, were here to earn travel expenses, and when this month was over, they would go to the city to find opportunities for cultivation. Zhao Mengnan didn't pay much attention to it, looked for an empty seat, sat on the bed and began to meditate.

Before he came, Grandpa Qin gave him a method, this is a widely circulated method, although Grandpa Qin can't cultivate, but he also collects it, Zhao Mengnan started to get lucky according to the above method.

He closed his eyes and ran the method, at this moment Zhao Mengnan was extremely engaged, his mood was ethereal, his mouth was chanting a mantra, his body absorbed the surrounding aura, and the aura traveled back and forth throughout his body along his meridians, and finally converged on the dantian.

Suddenly, a strange feeling came to his heart, Zhao Mengnan's Zhihai felt that the thunder and lightning hidden in the meridians of the whole body began to amplify, and finally filled the meridians, so that the true qi was blocked, Zhao Mengnan was not surprised and rejoiced, this is the "injury", the injury left when he died, usually the cause of death is called the "original injury", everyone's death method is different, and the injury is different, Zhao Mengnan's "injury" is called a natural injury, and he is also called a thunder injury, which is just a kind of natural injury. Now that his original injury has surfaced, Zhao Mengnan just wants to refine the "injury" to the dantian, and then he can enter the scar stage.

This set of methods played a role at this time, only to see a wisp of thunder and lightning was brought into the dantian, and the electric traces in the dantian gradually generated, there were nine electric traces, and the nine electric traces were intertwined with each other, floating and sinking in his dantian. This process was extremely slow but real, and with these electric traces, Zhao Mengnan's strength soared instantly, and he also entered the scar stage.

The scar period is the initial stage, and it is also the simplest stage, which can be reached by ordinary people very quickly, and there are not a few people like Zhao Mengnan who can reach it in a period of time.

Zhao Mengnan opened his eyes, only to find that his clothes had been soaked with sweat, he stretched his body, and found that the fatigue accumulated during the day had been swept away, replaced by incomparably vigorous energy, and when he entered the scar period, both his physical strength and energy would be doubled, and he was no longer as weak as he looked on the surface.

It was late at night, and a ball of light hung directly above the room, which lit up the room instead of an electric light.

"Brother, you can also cultivate", at this time, a short young man came to Zhao Mengnan and said.

Zhao Mengnan was almost frightened by his amazing behavior, but fortunately he was much stronger now than before, so he calmed down: "Well, you are?"

"I'm an apprentice in the kitchen, and you guys are all from the hall," the little man said with a smile.

Zhao Mengnan didn't say anything, he washed his face and went back to bed to continue cultivating.

In this way, Zhao Mengnan worked during the day, and the cultivation time at night gradually passed, and before he knew it, the two people on the upper bunk had left, and Zhao Mengnan and the little man were left in the room, and after another two months, Zhao Mengnan got his salary, and the salary of more than two months was enough for him to live on the road.

"It's time to leave", Zhao Mengnan sighed, these two months are not a long time for him, but he has just established a relationship with here, and he is really reluctant to leave.

Zhao Mengnan decided to go back to visit the two old men before leaving, he used his salary to buy some gifts for the two old men, after meeting the old people, Zhao Mengnan returned to the dormitory again to pack his luggage and prepare to leave.

"Macho man, are you really leaving", Zhao Mengnan just went downstairs, was stopped by a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, macho man is his nickname, everyone called it that, this girl is his colleague, she looks a little smart, petite and lovely, and she has the best relationship with Zhao Mengnan when the second baby comes out of the hotel.

"Yes......" Zhao Mengnan sighed, he was also a little reluctant.

"Can you stay?" said the girl.

Zhao Mengnan knew that the other party was a little interesting to him, he was more active in the store in the past few months, and after entering the scar period, his physical strength and energy were extremely strong, and the work efficiency was very high, the boss and manager liked it very much, and the important thing was that most of the people in the store were elderly, so several young people came together in a group, and it was normal for this girl to have a good impression of Zhao Mengnan.

"I have my way to go, I'll see you in the future", Zhao Mengnan waved his hand and passed by her.

The girl turned around, looked at Zhao Mengnan's back, and watched him gradually move away.
