Before Zhao Chuan was sealed by the abominable Taoist nun Hunyuanzi, he had only practiced to the ninth level of the water layer, and could no longer break through this layer to reach the fire layer.
Now that he has come back from the dead, not only has his acupuncture been solved, but he has also automatically upgraded and broken through the water layer, reaching the eighth level, almost a level higher!
No wonder he was so powerful when he was attacked by wild dogs while carrying the body during the day.
What kind of kung fu is there in this fire layer? How can it be different than before? Zhao Chuan thought.
Run faster? Jump higher? See further? Hear more nuanced? Well, I have to find a chance to experience it...
Zhao Chuan fell asleep again after thinking about it.
Zhao Chuan got up very late the next day.
After washing up, I went downstairs and saw the innkeeper doing the accounting. The newly recruited half-year-old child was humbly staying beside him with his head lowered, receiving a few words of reprimand from the innkeeper from time to time.
The innkeeper looks like he is in his early forties. He is of medium height and burly, with a square and greasy face. He does not look like a good guy, which is in sharp contrast to the half-year-old waiter standing next to him.
Zhao Chuan ordered food, and after eating, he called the shopkeeper to him.
"Settling the account, I can't stay here anymore, I want to find another inn!"
"Hey, young guest, what's the matter? Why do you need to change when you live well?" the shopkeeper laughed.
"It's not a pleasant stay!" Zhao Chuan glanced at him sideways.
"Hey, did the waiter not serve me well again? The one in front of me let me drive, but the new guy is not satisfied either?" After saying that, the middle-aged shopkeeper turned around and kicked the half-grown child to the ground. , "You little boy, if you don't do it well, I will shoot you!"
"Don't fight, don't fight! It's none of Xiao Er's business, and it has nothing to do with them if I want to leave!" Zhao Chuan waved his hand to stop him, "I just see that you are unhappy!"
"..." The shopkeeper was stunned and confused.
Zhao Chuan said that the waiter in front of him was obviously doing a good job, but you still wanted to drive him away. What's your reason?
The innkeeper laughed when he heard this and said that it was our innkeeper's business and he didn't need to worry about it.
Zhao Chuan said I just want to worry about this matter, what's the matter?
The innkeeper was silent.
Zhao Chuan said don’t pretend to be silent and pay me the bill first.
The innkeeper had no choice but to go to the counter and flip the abacus. After a while, he said, "After deducting the sixty-two or four hundred wen you put on the counter, we still have to pay sixteen silver."
Sixteen silver? Zhao Chuan was puzzled. The rent for a day's stay, even though it was a flat, was only one tael of silver at most. I've only stayed here for two days, why does it cost so much? "
The innkeeper said that these sixteen silver coins are your compensation for my loss.
Zhao Chuan was stunned and puzzled.
The innkeeper explained that since you stayed here, do you know how much trouble you have caused me these days?
Zhao Chuan shook his head and said he didn't know.
The innkeeper said that after you came to stay, another group of people came. This group said that the woman next to you was a princess from the previous dynasty, and they wanted to take her away. However, she was killed at night, which alerted the government.
Zhao Chuan said what does this have to do with me?
The innkeeper said that this group of people suspected that you were the murderer. Although it turned out that you were not, you were involved after all.
Zhao Chuan said that since I was wronged, why should I pay you back?
The innkeeper said that two groups had a fight in my inn and damaged a lot of my things. The corpse also brought a bad reputation to my inn, although it was eventually found out where the corpse came from. We are a small business, tell me how I can open a business in the future? These losses were all caused after you stayed at the hotel. You still have to compensate me, right?
Zhao Chuandao, you innkeeper is so unreasonable. I am also a victim. How can I pay you to compensate you?
The innkeeper said if you don’t pay, who will pay? Do you want me to go find that dead body and ask for money?
Zhao Chuan was speechless and secretly thought that the innkeeper was a wild dog. He wanted to bite anyone he caught. No wonder I heard that Hunyuanzi wanted to rely on others when he left before, but he was kicked away. Now I am young. You want to rely on me again.
Zhao Chuan was puzzled. Everyone said that the inn was a big bully, but this little shabby inn wasn't that great either. Why would they resort to this trick?
Zhao Chuan also wanted to imitate the old Taoist nun who said, "You are trying to blackmail me. Whoever breaks your things should be dealt with by you." But after thinking about it, he said to the innkeeper, "You are right, I should compensate."
The innkeeper said that you know the truth, so stop nagging, get your money, and leave.
Zhao Chuan smiled and said, what's the hurry? I'm not in a hurry to leave. Let's chat for a while.
The innkeeper said that there is nothing interesting to talk about with a foreigner like you, a half-year-old boy.
Zhao Chuan laughed helplessly, looked around the front hall, and said that these tables and chairs are all new.
The innkeeper said of course it was new. I just bought it today. The original old one was broken by the two groups fighting last night. Don’t you know? Oh, yes, you didn’t know that you were drowning in water for others.
Zhao Chuan said that if you didn’t mention it, I would have forgotten about it. I heard that you wanted to testify to the officials at that time, to prove that I was the murderer, right?
The innkeeper's face changed slightly, and he said that he was forced to do so, and there was nothing I could do about it? But then I didn’t say you were.
You are so forced. Zhao Chuan said, who forced you to drive the waiter in front of you?
The innkeeper was silent.
Zhao Chuan said how much did you spend on these new tables and chairs?
The innkeeper replied that he spent less than five taels of silver.
Zhao Chuan waved and said come over.
The innkeeper stood at the counter without moving and said, "What do you want to do? Do you want to beat me? Beating someone is against the law."
Zhao Chuan said that you still know that hitting someone is illegal. Didn't you just kick this kid?
The innkeeper said that this is the man I hired. I can beat him if I want. What does it have to do with you?
Zhao Chuan said it was none of my business. The waiter took good care of me. If you opened the restaurant, I felt that you were doing something wrong.
The innkeeper's face became increasingly ugly, and he said, "What can you do if you think I'm not doing something right?" Want to meddle in other people's business? Want to hit me? Pay me sixteen taels of silver and get out of here!
Zhao Chuan laughed and said I don't want to hit you, I'm afraid I won't be able to beat you. I just feel that what you do is too irritating. The waiter is doing a good job, but you open the door. What is the reason?
The innkeeper said that the waiter did not work all day and ran out to play. The family business was so busy that no one took care of him.
Zhao Chuan said that's not right. Your waiter didn't just go out to play. He asked you to go out early in the morning to dispose of the body. I helped carry the body out. I even paid for the coffin. The coffin shop Did the shopkeeper wait in front of my guest room door all day asking for money? There is such a thing.
The innkeeper's face became more and more ashen as pig liver, and he grunted and said, "You are willing, you want to do it, what does it have to do with me?" My store has to do business and I cannot afford to suffer losses.
Zhao Chuan said that you want to do business, but you can’t bully others.
Who did the innkeeper say I was bullying?
Zhao Chuan said that you bullied the waiter in the shop who worked hard for you and asked you to drive him away. You also gave false testimony to others and said that I was the murderer. This is bullying me again.
The innkeeper was completely impatient and lowered his face. What did he say? Are you a Bodhisattva? I can fuck a waiter whenever I want, and now I can fuck this waiter anytime I feel unhappy! You, a foreigner, come to stay in a hotel. If you like it, you can stay there. If you don't, just get out. Why is there so much nonsense? Quickly pay me sixteen taels of silver.
Zhao Chuan smiled, sighed and said that's right, what you said is so good, it really is like this. But your words are too unpleasant. It’s because I’m young and I can’t beat you, right? If a fight breaks out, it's not clear who will suffer.
The innkeeper's nose trembled, he stared at Zhao Chuan and said, come on, come and beat me! As he spoke, he picked up a large copper spoon from the wine jar and said, "Believe it or not, I will knock you flat."
Zhao Chuan chuckled and said that's right, that's what I thought.
Zhao Chuan stood up and walked to the counter. He reached out and grabbed the innkeeper's chest clothes, secretly using his spiritual energy to pull him out. Unexpectedly, he dragged him out of the counter and threw him into the air, making an arc, and directly He threw it on a dining table in the front hall and smashed the table.
Unexpectedly, the innkeeper was in great shape and did not break him at all. He got up from the ground without saying a word, rushed to Zhao Chuan, picked up the copper spoon in his hand and smashed it.
Zhao Zan should have dodged, but he unexpectedly did not move. The copper spoon hit Zhao Chuan's head with a "dang" sound, like hitting a big stone, which shocked the innkeeper and threw the copper spoon. Spoon, arms folded, eating and screaming in pain.
Zhao Chuan was stunned and immediately understood. It turns out that if you practice Grandpa's Five Elements Magical Skills to the level of fire, you are not afraid of being hit by metal? What's the point? Does fire overcome gold? Or does it have the power of a golden bell and an iron cloth shirt?
But now Zhao Chuan didn't have time to think about it. Seeing the innkeeper folding his arms and spinning around in pain, Zhao Chuan bent down and picked up the big copper spoon and said, "It's my turn to beat you. This is what you just called me." I'm going to hit you." He raised the copper spoon high and smashed it.
The innkeeper was not stupid. When he saw the copper spoon smashed down, he turned around and ran away. Zhao Chuan didn't stop, he dropped the copper spoon and smashed the new wooden dining table behind the innkeeper.
It's not that the big copper spoon is strong, or that the new wooden dining table is weak, but that Zhao Chuan has poured his spiritual power into it, and the force of hitting this copper spoon is estimated to be a thousand pounds.
In fact, Zhao Chuan didn't want to use such force to hit people, let alone kill them. He just wanted to test the power of being upgraded to the eighth level of the fire layer.
Seeing Zhao Chuan smashing the new wooden dining table with a copper spoon, the innkeeper was so frightened that he almost peed. Would he still survive if he was hit on the head? Not to be smashed into meat pies.
Zhao Chuan chased the innkeeper and smashed him. The innkeeper ran in circles around the dining table. After a while, several dining tables in the front hall of the inn were smashed into piles of firewood.
The innkeeper shouted to the waiter to report to the official and go find Xiang Zheng! The waiter, a half-grown child, hurriedly ran out after hearing this.
Zhao Chuan laughed and said it's useless to call anyone. Isn't this what you asked me to beat you just now?
The innkeeper didn't expect that this young boy turned out to be a master. He didn't expect that he would blackmail Tai Sui. While hiding from Zhao Chuan, he screamed in terror like a killing pig: "Kill, kill!"
Such a big commotion attracted people nearby. Neighbors came over to watch the fun. They were stunned when they discovered that a young boy was holding up a big copper spoon used in the inn to scoop out wine, chasing the shopkeeper and beating him.
But no one came to start a fight.
The copper spoon fell down, smashing everything it encountered. Everything in the front hall was gone. Tables, chairs, benches, counters, cups, plates, wine jars and dishes were all smashed.
The cook from the kitchen in the backyard of the inn also ran over, and her face turned green with fright.
"Stop it, why are you beating people?" Finally, someone watching the excitement asked loudly.
