When the store just opened and before it started making money, people from many departments came. Some street police collected protection fees, and some formal departments collected fees of one kind or another, such as cleaning fees, license fees, sanitation fees, etc.
Regardless of this, there are actually some colleagues who come. Naturally, they are not here to cheer, but to secretly or directly threaten and intimidate.
If this situation had happened many years ago, when Zi Chen first came out for training, he would naturally be extremely angry. Even if the training was to end early, he would talk to them.
But after a few years of employment, and with the experience of working hard in the secular world, Zi Chen is no longer so extreme in dealing with things.
These people came just to ask for money, so he gave them money.
Zi Chen is very generous and cheerful, and does not reject anyone who comes.
So on the opening day, many people knew that the owner of the drug store was easy to talk to, honest, and that he was stupid and had a lot of money.
It seems that these people have a good reputation. These people will come to the drug store every now and then, during the holidays, to greet Zi Chen and ask for help. After a few months, the money they earn is not enough to survive, not to mention paying various fees.
But Zi Chen doesn't care, money is just an external possession, as long as he can experience it.
In this regard, Xing Daoli will not express any opinions, because everyone's experience method is different, and the understanding of the rules is a matter of a certain moment. There is no right or wrong way of experience, just follow your heart.
Sure enough, during the days when he was giving away lots of money, Zi Chen had relatively fewer troubles.
There are no unscrupulous colleagues trying to trick him into killing people, or using fake medicines, and there are no criminals visiting his place all day long.
Soon half a year passed, and Zi Chen's drug store had not yet achieved profitability. It had always been negative and was always selling money. However, in the past six months, more and more departments came to ask for money, and more and more people came to it. In the end, even There are more patients than there are.
The pharmacy owner's reputation as a good-natured person also gradually spread.
No matter how much money he loses, it doesn't matter to Zi Chen, because these are external possessions, so in the past six months, even if they have become worse and worse, Zi Chen is not unhappy at all and is still satisfying them. The only thing Zi Chen pursues is peace. life experience.
But the words "Snake Swallowing Elephant" in front of our eyes and those people are not satisfied with the human heart are good. Gradually, they are no longer satisfied with simple money, and focus on spiritual and physical pleasure. So I focused my attention on the fairy-like woman who owned the drug store.
Su Mengyao is the bottom line of Zi Chen's experience. Even if you try to catch Xing Daoli's attention and find some pleasure in him, Zi Chen won't mind. But Su Mengyao can't do it. She is just like Zi Chen's reverse scale, and she is also Zi Chen. The only bottom line of experience was that after these people focused their attention on Su Mengyao, Zi Chen's murderous intention, which had been dormant for more than half a year, started to stir again.
The drug store owner, who had always had a gentle attitude, became tough for the first time and kicked the visitor out.
As a result, the relationship that had lasted for half a year collapsed at this moment, and all kinds of troubles came one after another.
Because they wanted Su Mengyao too much, or felt that Zi Chen was a foolish man with a lot of money, but fearful of trouble, they took some tough measures.
One day, the peaceful life was broken.
Early in the morning, a group of people came, forced open the door, put weapons on Zi Chen's neck, dragged Su Mengyao, and threatened Zi Chen to take Su Mengyao away by force.
The reason for doing this was because Zi Chen had angered them before, and similarly, the behavior of these people also angered Zi Chen.
When they got angry, they only killed one person, Zi Chen, and at most Xing Dao Li. But when Zi Chen got angry, he would destroy the whole clan.
That morning, no one who broke into the drug store came out alive.
Zi Chen held a hatchet and was covered in blood. He walked to the door of the medicine shop and stood guard here, waiting for others to come up.
It was a bloody morning, blood flowed into rivers, and the smell of blood lingered for a long time.
Mortal thugs come and kill one by one without any suspense.
Soon, news spread about a murderous maniac in the city, so the authorities began to work and sent monks.
Two monks from the True Qi Realm came and looked at Zi Chen indifferently. Their eyes were like looking at a dead person. They didn't talk too much. They just read out the fact that Zi Chen was a murderer. The two of them looked at Zi Chen. Chen rushed to kill him.
In their opinion, one person can kill him with one knife.
Indeed, one person was struck with a knife, and the hatchet only moved twice, and the two fell into a pool of blood and died.
The death of two Zhen Qi realms caused an uproar, but in such a huge city, monks were almost all over the streets. The Zhen Qi realm came again, and the hatchet in Zi Chen's hand flashed again.
One person, one knife, that's fair.
So after the sword flashed, these monks fell down again.
The crowd was somewhat in a state of panic, so the authorities sent strong men again, this time from the Xiantian realm.
The Xiantian realm is more powerful than the True Qi realm, but in Zi Chen's eyes, they are almost the same.
The hatchet's light continued to flash, and every time it flashed, an innate person would die.
After the light of the hatchet flashed ten times, ten people fell down and never got up again.
Then there are the monks in the True Yuan Realm and the Lingyuan Realm.
They seemed to be testing Zi Chen's combat power one by one. The monks went from low to high, killing Zi Chen.
Zi Chen's counterattack was very simple, he just held the hatchet and chopped forward.
Everyone who arrived was chopped with a knife until the corpses were piled up in several layers.
Finally, Dan Yuan came. This kind of existence that had survived the thunder tribulation was extremely powerful. No one dared to underestimate it, but in front of Zi Chen, they were still killed with one knife.
The hatchet is just a very common thing, commonly used by mortals, but in Zi Chen's hand, it is like a magic weapon, cutting down everything in front of him.
That day, the city was shaken, and some high-level officials finally sensed that something was wrong. However, they had no time to deal with the evildoers below, so they had to send Yuanjing to investigate first.
When the Human Yuan realm arrived, they stood in the sky. They didn't care about the corpses everywhere, or how many people the other party had killed. What they cared about was the calm expression on the other party. Every time the knife was raised and lowered, it was like chopping wood or vegetables, very calm. .
After cutting off the Dan Yuan, Zi Chen raised his head and looked at those in the Human Yuan Realm, his expression still calm.
However, the expression in the Renyuan Realm changed drastically because of Zi Chen's glance.
A sword can cut even the core of the body, so they are naturally not mortals, but they cannot feel the slightest fluctuation of power in the other party, just like a mortal, so the other party is naturally not a mortal. This situation occurs because their realm is too low.
Soon, they guessed the other party's real intention of opening a drug store anonymously, and their bodies were immediately wet with cold sweat.
Guessing Zi Chen's true strength, the city's top officials were furious. Just after Zi Chen stopped killing, groups of guards pressed some people to the door of the drug store. Zi Chen was familiar with these people and had dealt with them a lot in the past six months. , but they were extremely arrogant at that time, and each of them had a fat head and big ears, but now they looked at Zi Chen with horrified expressions.
Zi Chen held the hatchet with a calm expression.
This time, Zi Chen obviously didn't need to take action. The guards took out their weapons and chopped off their heads one by one.
Cutting them off one by one from the upper level, these guards killed as many people as Zi Chen.
After killing the relevant personnel, Zi Chen returned to the medicine shop to pack his things, and left with Su Mengyao and Xing Daoli. His experience was over. When he left, the city leader, headed by the city lord, and other senior officials as assistants, respectfully sent Zi Chen off. The three of them left.
Zi Chen starts his training career again
It's been another three years since I left.
Fifteen years have passed since Zi Chen left the Wuji Sect, and in these fifteen years, Zi Chen has either been pretending to be a grandson, or he has been killing people. He is a powerful monk, but he cannot even live a normal life. Unsatisfactory.
He is out of tune with this world, as if he has been rejected by it.
It seems that because of his mood, or because the other party went too far, Zi Chen killed many people in fifteen years.
Looking at the frightened monks around him and listening to the shrill screams for mercy in his ears, Zi Chen's heart felt cold, even showing signs of being frozen.
Seeing Zi Chen gradually going astray, Xing Daoli sighed in his heart and asked, "You haven't understood it yet."
Zi Chen shook his head, feeling very confused.
"You have been out practicing for fifteen years, but you haven't seen a single rule. This doesn't mean there are no rules, but you haven't seen them. In fact, rules are everywhere."
Zi Chen looked at Xing Daoli doubtfully and begged him to clear up his doubts.
"It's common sense to take medicine when you're sick, but if you look carefully, it's a rule. It's also common sense to drive a carriage on the main road and walk the right road, and it's also a rule."
"Eating when you are hungry and drinking when you are thirsty is common sense and everyone knows it, but are there no rules here?"
“It’s common sense to wear less clothes when it’s hot, and more clothes when it’s cold, but it’s also a rule.”
Xing Daoli looked at the confused Zi Chen, "What are the rules? They are rules set by this world. In the mortal world, rules are laws. If you break the law, you will be punished if you break the rules. Mortals must abide by them while they are alive. There are all kinds of rules and laws. What monks practice is the way of heaven, so what they need to abide by are the rules of the world, and these rules are rules."
"Mortals abide by the laws of the country, while monks abide by the rules of the world."
"There are thousands of rules in the world, and there are countless rules. Everything has rules and rules. You can eat without being hungry, drink without being thirsty, sleep without being sleepy, get married and have children. These can all be rules."
"Use an umbrella when it rains and go indoors to take shelter. There are also rules for taking shelter here."
In the end, Xing Dao Li Yangtian sighed: "Rules are everywhere. Survival is the rule. People must abide by the rules when they are born and grow up under the rules of the world. It is extremely difficult to break out of the rules."
Listening to Xing Daoli's words, Zi Chen recalled everything he had experienced as a mortal in the past fifteen years. The confusion on his face dissipated, and his eyes gradually became brighter. Things that he couldn't understand before were now revealed by Xing Daoli's words. After a few words, something suddenly clicked.
He couldn't see any rules at first, but now because he heard Xing Daoli's words, he saw rules everywhere.
A bolt of lightning flashed through Zi Chen's mind, and the fog in his mind cleared.
It turns out the rules are that simple.
"Rules are everywhere." Zi Chen's eyes were as bright as stars. He stretched out a finger and pointed towards the sky, and between his fingers, a ball of bright light appeared.
