Baoding, who was freely patrolling the streets, saw the man coming out of the drug store at dawn. He knew that there must be a way out, so he did not investigate.
Li Xiao enjoyed the loneliness of walking among the crowd. Looking at the passers-by who were hiding far away from him, he suddenly seemed to see himself in the past, but he knew that he was no longer the same person as before.
He passed by the arena, and there were people queuing up to buy tickets. It seemed that today was the first competition in the second half of this month, and in two days it would be the monthly competition, and then he would be competing in the season competition.
At dawn to avoid the crowds, I accidentally saw a painting posted on the wall. It looked very familiar. It showed a big man and a zombie with their arms crossed, with the text below: Fighting with the demon, becoming famous overnight, and enjoying wealth!
He couldn't help but sigh. His destiny was completely rewritten in this arena. He who once regarded being a rich man as his ambition in life no longer looked down upon wealth in the world.
If he has any regrets, it is that he has never been a rich man and enjoyed the pleasure of spending huge amounts of money.
After the arena is the gambling house, and then on to Lan Kwai Fong, which is where Dawn is now, but he couldn't get in because he went to the west gate to find Tiezhu and give the Bigu Pill in his arms to his only friend.
As the saying goes, don't forget each other if you want wealth and honor. The distance between me and mortals is getting bigger and bigger. It is estimated that it will be difficult to interact with Tie Zhu again in the future, so I have to give him something in return.
At dawn, he lowered his head and hurriedly avoided the girls soliciting customers on the second floor, but how could his abrupt appearance escape the sophisticated eyes of the girls?
"Hehe, look at that man, he looks like a dog!" A new girl pointed at his back.
Another sister quickly reminded: "Shhh! Don't die, this person is born like a murderer. If you piss him off, he will turn around and bite you, and I won't eat you alive..."
Of course, Li Xiao didn't know that he had become a vicious figure in the eyes of his sister. He suddenly smelled an alluring fragrance in his nose, but he was passing by a restaurant.
A thought occurred to Li Xiao. Although he was not hungry, he had not tasted the fireworks of the world for a long time. Let's take this opportunity to enjoy the feeling of being a rich man.
He walked into the restaurant carelessly. Several waiters had already seen him. Such a fierce person would not dare to neglect him. One of them hurriedly came up to meet him: "This guest, what would you like to eat?"
When I saw that this guy was not acquainted with me at dawn, I was not polite: "Let's get a private room first, and then we can order food."
The waiter was stunned and said in a low voice: "Sir, the minimum payment for the box is one tael of silver."
Li Xiao glared: "What? Are you afraid that I have no money?"
The waiter shivered when he stared at him: "Don't dare, don't dare, please come in."
As the waiter led the way, he exchanged glances with the other waiters. After all, this is the third largest industry in the ghost market. Who dares to make trouble here? Those who wanted to eat the Overlord's meal were mostly fed by corpse demons.
At dawn, I was led into a small box that could seat three or four people. The window lattice was painted on the wall, which was very elegant.
He sat down, imagining the style of a rich man, and raised his head: "Do you have a recipe?"
"Yes, yes." The clerk quickly handed over a beautiful booklet.
Li Xiaoxiao took it over with aplomb, flipping through the pages while listing out the famous delicacies that he had only heard from storytellers: "Yangzhou fried rice, steamed lion's head, original salted goose, crab powder and tender tofu, large boiled dry shreds" , crystal dish..."
The waiter was dumbfounded: "Sir, are you eating alone?"
Dawn squinted: "Exactly."
The waiter scratched his head and said sheepishly: "These cost ten taels of silver, sir, can you pay the bill first?"
When he said this, the man kept staring into Li Xiao's eyes. If he had any guilt, it would be difficult for him to walk out of this door.
Li Xiao smiled slightly and took off his face towel: "My name is Li Xiao, do you recognize me?"
The waiter was already ready to fall out, but when he saw Li Xiao's face clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned: "It turns out to be Brother Li Xiao, I recognize you. I've offended many villains, so I'll pass the food to you."
Li Xiao originally thought that if the waiter didn't buy it, he would move out of Xiao Niangpi's backing. Lan Kwai Fong was right next door anyway, but he didn't expect that his face was so easy to use, so it would save him trouble.
After a meal, "Uh...", Xiaoxiao burped loudly, and stuffed the last half of the lion's head into his mouth. He looked at the remaining half of the delicacies on the table, feeling overwhelmed but unable to do anything.
He suddenly felt guilty and ashamed. If it were his previous self, he would never be so extravagant and wasteful.
It is said that when you are rich, you will never forget when you are poor, and when you are full, you will never forget when you are hungry. This taste of being a rich man is only for this time and will never be tasted again.
At dawn, just as he was about to leave the table, there was a knock on the door, and a guy with oily hair and pink face poked his head in and grinned at him: "Tsk, tsk, I heard that Ji Lei's favorites are coming to the shop, so I came to see you." .”
"It's you..." Li Xiao's whole body tensed up and he sat upright in surprise.
This man's hair is tied up in a brocade robe, his face is smooth, and there is a goldenrod in one of his ears. Who else is he if he is not eating, walking, and wearing a beard?
"I have seen Master Shi Xingshou." Li Xiao bowed his hands, not losing his courtesy, but his eyes were wary, staring at Hu Buwei who walked in.
The status of Shi Xingshou is higher than that of Lin Qing'er, and his realm is naturally higher. If he wants to deal with himself, it can be said that it is easy.
"Haha, don't worry, I won't do anything to you." Hu Buwei noticed Li Xiao's nervousness and said in a frivolous tone, "I'm just letting you know that you can't pass Ji Lei, so I'll follow you first. Farewell."
"Thank you for your trouble, sir." Li Xiao said, neither humble nor arrogant, "If I am lucky enough to survive the season competition, I will definitely pay a visit in person with my sister, the shop owner."
"Okay, then I will personally cook and prepare a table of delicious dishes for you. I'm afraid that if you don't have this good fortune, you will die under your sister's skirts and become a ghost." Hu Buwei was stabbed in the painful spot, sneered, and rolled his sleeves And go.
Li Xiao sat in the box for a long time, with cold sweat still running down his back. It turned out that the pressure generated by Hu Buwei's flick of his sleeves before leaving almost made him collapse to the ground. He only managed to hold on through gritted teeth. Make a fool of yourself on the spot.
This is the difference between realms, the difference between dragon and snake.
I have no complaints about my breaking skills, but I also want to understand that my identity as a fighter is a life-saving talisman. To be precise, Hu Buwei can obviously kill him with one finger, but he can only do tricks on the ring. .
If he is lucky enough to become the champion, Yao Xingshou will of course protect him.
However, according to Lin Qing'er, Lei Wang is eligible to join the Immortal Cultivation Sect. As long as he joins a certain sect, he will also be protected.
When Li Xiao thought about it, it was better to finish the New Year Tournament first.
Seeing that there was no one around, he meditated on a chair and adjusted his breath. One breath was enough for a week, and the Qi of heaven and man filled his body. I felt very comfortable and then stopped. As the spiritual energy in my body dissipated outward like big bubbles, feelings of internal and external feelings arose spontaneously.
Li Xiao plans to use the clairvoyance ability of the Sky Eye to explore inside and outside the restaurant to see if Hu Buwei is still there?
Unexpectedly, his spiritual energy seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier, and could only be confined to the box, so his clairvoyance was naturally unable to speak.
Li Xiao guessed that there must be some kind of ban on immortal cultivators in the restaurant, which restricted the internal and external interactions. The man named Hu was cautious, showing his shady attitude.
After a while, under the respectful eyes of several waiters, Li Xiao left the restaurant, holding two boxes of oil paper bags in his hands, which were the remaining dishes he packed and could not be wasted.
He stopped when passing by the grocery area, found an iron shop, and asked the shopkeeper to forge the rolled-edged dagger back into the furnace. In fact, he would have no problem asking Lin Qing'er for another dagger, but this one followed him. It's been too long since I've had feelings for them, so I can't bear to throw them away.
The shopkeeper looked at his murderous look and asked hesitantly: "Can I pay the bill first?"
At dawn, he was penniless and embarrassed to show off his face, so he handed a box of oil-paper bags to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, look at this bag of food, which is enough to make iron money."
The skinny shopkeeper sniffed hard when he smelled the fragrance, opened the paper seal again, his eyes widened, and he hurriedly wrapped it up: "That's enough, that's enough. Sir, take a look at the ironware in the shop, there are some that you like." One or two pieces.”
As if he was afraid that Dawn would regret it, the shopkeeper turned around and ordered the man to send the dagger to be forged. Because the sound of forging was too noisy, the forge was located in another place.
Li Xiao knew that a pack of food was expensive, but after all, it was his own leftovers, so he would not take advantage or suffer a loss. He picked an ax at random and planned to give it to Tie Zhu with another pack of food, plus a grain of it. Bigu Pills can be considered a great gift.
"I'll get the dagger later." He left the iron shop at dawn and went straight to the west gate. When he passed by the water shop, he deliberately lowered his head to avoid being seen by the fat shopkeeper, Mr. Bi. He was embarrassed last time and was ashamed to see him.
Not long after he arrived at the Ximen Checkpoint, he still didn't see Tie Zhu. He couldn't help but ask other Baoding, but he learned a shocking news. Tie Zhu had gone to fight, and today was his first fight.
At dawn, he gave another bag of food to the questioning Baoding, and then he learned the reason for Tiezhu's beating. It turned out that Tiezhu's family was killed by the mob during the second poisonous snowstorm. He was heartbroken and had no worries anymore. , decided to find another way out, and resolutely signed up to participate in the competition.
At dawn, I found out why I had never seen Tiezhu. I was so sad that I turned around and headed straight to the arena, intending to cheer for my old friend.
The fighting had just begun, and Li Xiao exchanged the ax for a fighting ticket, entered the crowded arena, and joined the spectators in the standing area. In the commotion, no one noticed his murderous aura.
Today's Guan Lei is a steward under Hu Buwei. Due to the addition of weapon options, the first round is naturally much more exciting. In addition, the zombies in the first round have not yet awakened, so the time to determine the winner, that is, life and death, is much faster.
Watching the fight between the contestants and the zombies on the stage, Li Xiao felt as if he were watching children fighting. He couldn't believe that he had changed completely in just a month or two.
But without exception, these contestants showed enthusiasm and high fighting spirit.
What Li Xiao didn't know was that Yang Fan, a frail young man, had overcome the challenge in the ring and had already set off a whirlwind of participation in the ghost market, stimulating many people at the bottom who were eager to change their destiny. The number of people who took the initiative to sign up for the competition was unprecedented. Recorded, and this young man is himself.
However, no one knows the real reason why he participated in the competition at dawn. Not everyone has the kind of epiphany that puts him to death and survives.
No one knew that behind riding the wind and waves at dawn, there was a chance encounter between him and the princess, the secret assistance of the two leading figures in the ghost market, and other reasons that he was not aware of yet.
Every seemingly legendary and inspirational success story of a small person in the world is actually driven by a big shot and favored by the God of Destiny.
But ordinary people would rather believe that it is all the efforts of the little people.
