Chapter 316
The immortal cultivation spell given by the old man actually stopped the pain in the chest!
Chen Ke was filled with surprise.
"Try again tomorrow. If it really stops the pain in your chest, it proves that my guess was right!"
Chen Ke's eyes were bright, and he said silently: "The breathing method that Uncle Wang taught me is probably a kind of magic for cultivating immortals!"
Uncle Wang and his aunt have always been together. If Uncle Wang is an immortal master, then my aunt may also be an immortal master!
Chen Ke's breathing became a little short when he thought of this. He thought of some things from his childhood. Uncle Wang gave him some medicine to treat wind and cold. If he took one, he would be able to recover immediately.
Chen Ke remembered that his neighbor Li Erpang was infected with wind and cold. Even after taking medicine, it would take several days to recover.
"There are also aunt's charms and the flame bottle!"
Chen Ke thought of the package his aunt gave him that day. There was a piece of yellow paper with strange lines drawn on it. There was also a small bottle that his aunt had left behind in order to create a chance for him to escape.
Now that I think about it carefully, it seems that my aunt and Uncle Wang are also very likely to be immortal masters!
"It's just that I can no longer ask my aunt and Uncle Wang in person." Chen Ke's face was filled with sadness and longing that could not be dissipated...
Chen Ke looked at the crescent moon outside the window, and the bright moonlight shone through the window.
The moon will eventually be full, but people will never see each other again.
Regret is the sadness that cannot be erased. When it falls, only nostalgia remains.
In the early morning, Chen Ke woke up and opened his eyes. That night, he did not dream of those evil people or have any nightmares.
"The old man is really a god!"
Chen Ke was sure that regardless of whether others believed it or not, he believed that the old man was an immortal with divine power.
After still finishing the breakfast cooked by Sister Qin, Chen Ke still had to wait for the news from Guard Bai. He played with Xiaobao for a while, then went out to see if the old man came today. Outside the inn door
, it was empty, and there was no sign of the old man.
"It seems that he won't be coming today." Chen Ke was a little regretful, but he knew the old man's monastery, and when he had time, he would visit the old immortal in person.
"Little brother, are you still waiting for that old liar? These days, the big households in the east of the city are giving porridge and giving half a chicken butt. You can go and have a look. Maybe you can meet the old liar cheating on him."
The innkeeper laughed. He felt that Chen Ke had been fooled by the old liar and was completely hopeless. Yesterday was a good opportunity to get his money back, but the boy didn't grasp it. He must regret it today.
Chen Ke said: "The shopkeeper, he is not a liar, he is really a god."
"That's right, I won't argue with fools!" the shopkeeper chuckled.
Chen Ke shook his head and smiled. The shopkeeper had decided that the old man was a liar. It was useless for Chen Ke to explain, and he would not explain to the shopkeeper anymore. He went back and told Sister Qin where he was going, then walked out of the inn and went to Jingzhao Mansion Yamen
.
Guard Zhang upstairs saw Chen Ke going out and followed him.
Chen Ke can't always rely on Sister Qin to support him. He has hands and feet and is not blind. He can get a job by relying on his own strength.
"You said you also want to be a yamen servant?"
Zhang Huwei said in surprise, "Can you lift the killing stick with your thin arms and legs?"
Chen Ke said: "Brother Zhang, don't underestimate me. Even though I'm not strong, I can lift stones heavier than you."
Zhang Huwei shook his head in disbelief and said, "I'm not light. Even with all my clothes on, I weigh more than 180 pounds. Can you lift me?"
Chen Ke nodded and said: "Yes, I can lift it with one hand."
"Ha!" Zhang Huwei chuckled and said, "Little brother, don't brag."
Chen Ke said: "I don't brag. If you don't believe it, we can try it."
Zhang Huwei looked and was about to go to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion. He said: "Let's do this. I'll call Brother Liu and the others to be your witnesses. If you can lift me up with one hand, I can let you
Work as a non-staff helper in Jingzhao Mansion."
"What is a non-staff helper?" Chen Ke asked.
Zhang Huwei led Chen Ke into the Jingzhao Mansion from the back door. As he walked, he said: "A helper is a person who helps. A non-staff helper is someone who is not included in the Yamen register and has a monthly salary of one yuan. How about it?"
Chen Ke calculated in his mind that one coin of silver can be exchanged for a hundred copper plates, one copper plate and two corncoons, three copper plates a day, which is enough for a month, and there is still some leftover.
"Does what you say work?" Chen Ke glanced at Zhang Huwei and asked.
Zhang Wewei patted his chest, banged his chest, and said proudly: "Old Zhang, although I am your personal bodyguard, I am also a clerk in Jingzhao Mansion. There is no problem in recruiting two helpers, let alone a non-staff helper like you. However,
Don't worry, I'll take care of the lunch, but the food in the Yamen is not delicious."
In the end, Zhang Huwei was not optimistic about the food in the Yamen.
"You still have to take care of the food, I agreed!" Chen Ke replied immediately.
"Let's go, try and see if you can pass."
Zhang Huwei took Chen Ke to see other yamen colleagues and asked them to be Chen Ke's witnesses.
In a garden in the back hall of Jingzhao Mansion, several burly men looked at the emaciated Chen Ke and laughed: "Xiao Chen, if it doesn't work, forget it, I'm afraid Lao Zhang will crush you with his thick arms and legs.
Got it!"
"That's right. If the adults find out that the person he is protecting has been crushed by him, why don't you give him a slap in the face?" Another personal guard next to Long Tu also said with a smile.
Chen Ke was not angry because of their ridicule, because they did not understand how much strength he had in his thin body.
Don't blame them.
"Come on." Zhang Huwei smiled.
Chen Ke walked over, grabbed Guard Zhang's belt with one hand, and lifted it up hard. Several guards who were laughing seemed to be frozen, lost their smiles, opened their eyes wide, and looked at Chen Ke in surprise.
Zhang Huwei's whole body was brought together to make it easier for Chen Ke to lift him. Feeling his feet leave the ground, Zhang Huwei secretly sighed in his heart. This boy with a lot of grievances is really a weirdo!
Lifting Zhang Huowei to half his waist, Chen Ke took a breath and put Zhang Huowei down again.
"Can't lift anymore?"
Long Tu's voice sounded nearby, and several guards immediately greeted Long Tu.
Zhang Huwei quickly saluted and said: "This subordinate is reckless, please punish me."
Chen Ke saluted and said: "Master Long, it's not his fault. It's because I wanted to join the Yamen as a non-staff helper, so I was put to the test. If you want to punish me, please punish me."
When Long Tu heard this, he glanced at Zhang Huwei and said, "Let me write it down for you first. I asked you to take good care of him. It would be better for you."
"This subordinate realizes his mistake." Zhang Huwei said.
Long Tu looked at Chen Ke again and said, "What are the conditions for your test?"
Chen Ke said: "Lift Brother Zhang above your head, it will be considered a success."
"You failed." Long Tu said with a smile.
Chen Ke's face was slightly red and he said: "It's because I haven't eaten enough and I can't use my strength. But when I'm full, I can lift one with each hand!"
"Seriously!" Long Tu looked at Chen Ke, not as if he was joking: "If you deceive me, I will punish you with deception!"
"Common people don't dare, let alone deceive adults!" Chen Ke said.
"Bring him food, let him eat enough and let me see if his strength is as strong as he said." Long Tu immediately asked a guard to get the food.
After a while, the guard brought a large bowl with three fist-sized steamed buns, a portion of cabbage vermicelli, and a little meat oil floating on top.
Chen Ke took it and ate it. Under the watchful eyes of Long Tu and several guards, Chen Ke licked the bottom of the bowl clean.
"Are you full?" Long Tu asked with a smile.
Chen Ke shook his head and said: "Three minutes full."
"Hey, be a good boy! This boy must have been raised by a starving man. That bowl of food is enough for me." A muscular guard shook his head.
"Bring another bowl."
After Chen Ke was full, he said: "I'm five minutes full."
"Bring another bowl." Long Tu looked worriedly at Chen Ke's abdomen, which was slightly bulging, and said, "Don't be so stubborn that you won't be charged for the food."
Chen Ke said: "Don't worry, sir, I can save it."
In the past, when his aunt let him eat, he could eat five bowls of rice, but her aunt was afraid that he would burst his belly, so she didn't dare to let him eat more.
After Chen Ke finished licking the bottom of the bowl again, Long Tu said: "Bring another bowl."
Chen Ke said: "No need, sir. I can lift two people when I am only seventy percent full."
Long Tu said: "You have just finished eating, so you need to eat first. I have a rest today and will see you when I have time."
Another quarter of an hour later.
Chen Ke said: "Sir, it's almost noon, let's get started."
"good."
Long Tu nodded, and immediately Guard Zhang and another stout man came over and stood in front of Chen Ke.
"Brother Chen Ke, it's still too late to regret now. I won't blame you for boasting!" Long Tu said.
Chen Ke shook his head and said: "I won't lie to you, sir. You will help me redress my grievances. If I lie to you, how can I still be a human being!"
Chen Ke vomited into the palm of his hand twice, rubbed his hands to increase his grip strength, and then grabbed the belts of Zhang Wewei and another big man with one hand, shouted low, and started to lift them up.
"Drink!"
Long Tu saw Zhang Huwei and Xie Baotou being lifted above their heads by Chen Ke, and Chen Ke also walked around the octagonal pavilion in the garden, and Chen Ke did not appear to be out of breath at all.
"Okay, put it down quickly. I will prove that you passed!" Long Tu said.
Chen Ke let go of Zhang Huwei and Xie Baotou. The two of them added up to at least 350 kilograms. They were lifted up by Chen Ke and circled around the pavilion. Long Tu and the others were really shocked!
"Thank you, sir." Chen Ke didn't know how much his behavior shocked Longtu and the others. He only thought that he could receive a lot more money!
"Zhang Huowei, you will help Chen Ke register in a while and give him the status of a helper." Long Tu told Zhang Huwei. This was what Zhang Huwei had to do, but Long Tu took Chen Ke's supernumerary helper as a helper.
Upgraded to helper.
"Now, I can repay Sister Qin's money and buy some delicious food for Sister Qin and the others!" Chen Ke felt a little happy.
Long Tu asked with a complex expression: "Brother Chen, Brother Situ said that your spiritual energy companion has already stepped half of your foot on the door of the immortal way. Are you really not an immortal master of the immortal way?"
Chen Ke shook his head and said: "Sir, I really am not! I will be in the future!"
Chen Ke already had a way to practice. He felt that he would be an immortal in the future, but he completely forgot that the minister of Dali Temple said that his spiritual veins were blocked and he could not practice.
