It's obviously a life skill, but you developed it into a magical skill

When talking about this, Yu Hang's face became even more confused.

Zhou An didn't answer. He knew that Yu Hang had a lot to say later.

Yu Hang's face kept changing in confusion and entanglement, and finally turned into a calm look.

He poured himself another bowl of wine, drank it all in one gulp, and wiped the drink from his mouth.

"He gave me the water burial method and told me that if I want to get a good name, I must learn this thing, because the Great Chu State only values ​​scholars who have stepped into the threshold."

"Lao Zhou, you know, I was very entangled and confused at the time. I almost went to study because I thought that when I stepped into the threshold, I would be reused."

"But then I read this book over and over again. At the end, I suddenly felt that if I really studied it, I would be ashamed of the ancestors of the Yu family."

"This thing is harmful to Tianhe, but it is a good shortcut and very tempting. I also know what County Magistrate Chen means by giving me this thing. What he means is that I accept his benefits and fall into If you're in the same situation as him, it can be turned against you."

At this point, Yu Hang expressed all his thoughts and finally felt much more relaxed.

Zhou An picked up the wine, clinked a glass with Yu Hang, and drank the wine: "Fortunately, you didn't learn in the end."

If my friend learns this, he will have to make a scene of suffering.

"I originally wanted to give it to you earlier, but then I thought about how cunning Magistrate Chen is, and I was afraid that he would have some follow-up plans. Now that Magistrate Chen is dead, everything will return to dust, and dust will return to dust. This thing will also return to dust. I can take it out.”

Yu Hang smiled.

"When I made the decision not to learn this, I actually felt very relaxed."

Life is full of disturbances.

There are too many temptations in the world of mortals.

When a person walks through this world, he is faced with many choices, not to mention temptations.

When there is a shortcut in front of them, few people choose to give up.

But like Yu Hang, once he really gives up, he feels extremely calm inside.

He knew what he was doing was a bit stupid, but it was so stupid that it made him feel at ease.

"Old Zhou, do you think this world is really like what County Magistrate Chen said? Even if ordinary people obtain honors, no one will take them seriously." Yu Hang asked.

Zhou An fell into deep thought. This was not the first person to ask him this question.

Before that, Ye Shuang also asked the same question.

Zhou An didn't have a particularly precise answer.

Because the word fairness is actually quite important.

What is true fairness?

This thing is not a piece of cloth that can be measured with a ruler.

"You'll know after you try it." Zhou An did not give an answer.

Yu Hang took a sip of wine: "Then I will use this imperial examination to try."

Zhou An nodded.

He feels like a counselor who specializes in providing solutions to others.

In fact, he didn't want to think about this thing in detail. If he thought about it too much, he would cause trouble for himself.

But he knows one thing.

Let’s not mention whether it is fair or unfair, but there is something in this world that is far more important than fairness.

--fist.

Your fists are strong enough. Even if you encounter injustice in the world, you can use your fists to open it up.

"You still have to hurry up." Zhou An thought.

Now that I have quit my job, I will make full use of the remaining time.

Yu Hang spoke again: "Old Zhou, after I pass the exam, you can hang out with me and stop doing those things. It's too dangerous. Life is the most important thing!"

Zhou An nodded: "Okay, I'll hang out with you if I pass the exam."

The two of them drank wine and ate food again, until late at night, Yu Hang was already drunk and talking a lot of drunken words.

"When I pass the exam, I will make the place under my control extremely prosperous and let the people live a good life!"

Yu Hang stood on the street and pointed at the bright moon in the sky, as if he swore to the moon.

Zhou An knew Yu Hang's drinking capacity, and it didn't take long before Yu Hang fell asleep on the ground.

He dragged Yu Hang into the house and let him sleep in the guest room. Taking advantage of the night, he started to practice the cooking skills again.

…

The next day.

Yu Hang left. Although the drunkenness was not completely gone, he was able to move normally and went home to study again.

Zhou An lived according to his previous routine, went out to eat something, chatted with the shop owner for a while, and then went to the blacksmith shop.

In the morning, the liver fusion casting method is practiced, and in the afternoon and evening, the chef's knife method is practiced.

The Fusion Casting Method came after the Chef Ding had mastered his skills, but since it was a third-level skill, there was already a tendency for latecomers to catch up.

After reaching the fourth level of the Fusion Casting Technique, Zhou An can devote himself wholeheartedly to the Chef Ding Jie Xiu Knife Technique.

As for the other four-level skills, he thought that he would wait until he got the Chef Ding's knife skills to level five.

After breakfast, I came to the door of the blacksmith shop, and a familiar scene appeared again.

In the blacksmith shop, Blacksmith Zhao's angry roar could be heard.

Not long after, the fat businessman Qi Shuo's other eye also turned black, and he walked out speechlessly.

Obviously, I got another punch today.

The guards around him stared intently, none of them looked here.

Because they have received professional training.

Don't laugh when you shouldn't, unless you can't help it.

If you don’t look at it, you can’t bear it.

Although Qi Shuo was kicked out and punched, he still remained polite and said with cupped hands: "Senior is in a bad mood today. I'll see you another day, junior."

"roll!"

In the room, Tiejiang Zhao said one word in a concise and concise tone.

Qi Shuo was even more helpless and could only turn around and prepare to leave.

Just when he turned around, he happened to run into Zhou An.

"I've met brother Zhou An." Qi Shuo continued to cup his hands.

"Brother Qi is so polite." Zhou An waved his hand.

Qi Shuo is actually a very smart person.

He knew that Zhou An was able to come here twice in a row and was able to enter the blacksmith shop, so his status must be extraordinary.

In their line of work, nothing matters, the most important thing is to have a vision.

Sometimes, they discover small things and then use them to make a fortune.

Especially when it comes to human relations, Qi Shuo is a master in this area.

To be able to enter the blacksmith shop twice and be safe and sound, his identity and strength must not be underestimated.

do not judge a book by it's cover.

Qi Shuo knows that when you look at a person, you have to look at the inside.

"Brother Zhou, are you free? I would like to treat Brother Zhou to a meal." Qi Shuo asked.

Zhou An shook his head: "I really don't have time, I'm very busy recently."

He was telling the truth, he really wasn't available.

Eliminate all useless things first, and focus on improving your proficiency.

All the troubles he encountered before were caused by others who provoked him first. He had no choice but to deal with those people.

There is a saying that goes well - I am afraid of trouble, so I kill the people who cause trouble.

As for who said it - Wozki Shuode.

Now that he is finally free, he doesn't want to do anything.

Especially the businessman in front of me, it seems that he is not a fuel-efficient lamp at first glance.

Qi Shuo showed a regretful expression: "In the future, when you are free, Brother Zhou can come to the Chamber of Commerce in Anding County to find me, which is on the first street east of the Yamen."

"Definitely next time." Zhou An said.

Qi Shuo didn't say anything more and left with the guards.

Zhou An thought for a while, pushed the door open, and happened to see Blacksmith Zhao with a gloomy face.

"What's wrong? You slapped someone else, but you made yourself depressed?"

"He deserves to be beaten, and I will beat him again!" Blacksmith Zhao said angrily.

"When I came here for the first time, he was very irritated, but he insisted on letting me leave to help him blacksmith. I couldn't bear it anymore, so I punched him. If he comes here today, I can only punch him again."

Zhou An said that it was okay for Blacksmith Zhao to do this.

He didn't want to say much and took all the time to gain proficiency.

Walking to the slightly smaller anvil, Zhou An began to strike skillfully.

When Tiejiang Zhao saw this scene, he asked, "Zhou An, are you not curious at all?"

Zhou An didn't even raise his head and continued to hit the iron: "What are you curious about? Doesn't he just want to invite you out?"

Tiejiang Zhao had something to say: "That's not just asking me to come out. I just found out today that this guy has other plans, and it's not just as simple as building. Did you know? The imperial court has relaxed the mining of mines."

Zhou An put the beaten iron bars into the water to quench them. After waiting for a while, he picked up the iron bars.

Zhou An said while looking at the lines on the iron bars.

"Raising troops in foreign wars and prospering internally, the court has no problem doing this."

There is indeed no problem. The benefits of releasing the mining rights of the mine are too many.

"The Tao Casting Competition for the younger generation, organized by the Great Chu State, will begin in half a month." Blacksmith Zhao continued.

"If you win this competition, you will not only get a lot of wealth, but those with outstanding results can also directly join the imperial court as craftsmen and supervisors. My senior brother is the top leader there."

The craftsman's supervisor was a place used by the imperial court to build various weapons.

Not only weapons, but also many things that can be made flow out from here, and these things are all used by the imperial court itself.

"It is true that the Zamen have a large population and are diverse, but we have created this lineage, which is considered to be among the best even among the Zamen." When Blacksmith Zhao talked about this, he was quite proud.

Building this kind of thing is an extremely necessary category in a country, so as Blacksmith Zhao said, it is very much used by the court.

Zhou An snorted and said without interest, "That has nothing to do with me."

He wasn't interested at all. He didn't specialize in casting. He was just a liver emperor.

Tiejiang Zhao was anxious: "You really don't want to participate?"

Zhou An was about to melt the iron. After hearing this, he put down the iron and said solemnly: "Old Zhao, I know what you are thinking, but I made it clear to you today that I really don't care about this." interest."

He knew what Tiejiang Zhao meant, but he had to speak clearly today, otherwise it would be difficult to explain in the future.

It was also the first time for Blacksmith Zhao to see how serious Zhou An was, and he knew that what Zhou An said was true, so he could only sigh.

"By the way, what does this kind of competition have to do with a businessman?" Zhou An asked strangely.

A big competition is a big competition. Qi Shuo seems to care about what Tiejiang Zhao means.

"Hey...Obviously, they asked me to help build things, but secretly, they asked me to teach them."

Blacksmith Zhao sneered: "The Hengtong Chamber of Commerce is not simple, and Qi Shuo is even more not simple. It seems that it is for the mines, but in fact there are many serial tricks in it."

"If you think about it, in a remote place, it will not attract anyone's attention, and it will not arouse the suspicion of other chambers of commerce, so he silently trains a young man to participate."

"Then this young man won and became a craftsman supervisor. The Hengtong Chamber of Commerce became famous. Especially now that they want to get a share of the mine, there is no harm in doing anything."

After hearing this, Zhou An finally understood.

Qi Shuo came over not because he really had his eye on the mines in Anding County, but because he wanted to make a blockbuster success in this remote place.

Taking advantage of the remoteness of Anding County to hide from other people's eyes, he can develop silently.

"The Hengtong Chamber of Commerce really has something." Zhou An said.

"It's more than just something, but in my opinion, as long as you participate, these people won't be a problem." Blacksmith Zhao said.

Zhou An smiled and said: "Old Zhao, don't praise me, and don't get too excited. I really won't go. Okay, let's not talk about this. I will continue to do my thing, and you will do yours."

Seeing that Zhou An had made up his mind, Blacksmith Zhao could only sigh and muttered regrets several times.

Zhou An didn't care about this and continued to strike the iron.

In the afternoon, he left and returned home to carve the dough.

"What a bullshit competition, how can you stimulate your liver proficiency?"

Zhou An thought happily while watching the increase in proficiency.

Towards the end of the night, he went to have dinner again. When he got home, he didn't feel as good as he did immediately.

Last night, Yu Hang gave him the water burial method, but he didn't look at it.

Because I drank a lot and it was too late, I thought of hurrying up and watching the progress bar.

At this time today, I have just eaten and it is not appropriate to exercise yet.

Zhou An thought, it wouldn't hurt to take a look at this water burial method.

Even if he is purely curious, he will not practice this thing, and he will not do this thing.

If you have proficiency, why do you still practice this thing?

Isn't this making yourself uncomfortable?

Taking advantage of the candlelight of the oil lamp, Zhou Anzai looked through it carefully, looking at it very seriously.

He usually likes to watch something, but it’s not suitable to watch for too long. Sometimes, just one hour is enough.

After coming to this world, Zhou An didn't have time to look at it, he was always worrying about his proficiency.

Today he regarded the water burial method as a novel and started reading it.

The more he looked down, the more emotional Zhou An became.

No wonder the Five Elements Burial Sect was wiped out. It was really necessary.

This thing really hurts Tianhe.

It was built entirely on the lives of others!

It is indeed a shortcut, but full of blood and cruelty.

Zhou An planned to burn the book after reading it to avoid causing harm to the world.

Time passed gradually.

It took about half an hour for Zhou An to finally finish reading the book.

When he was about to get up and burn the book completely, a burst of smoke appeared in front of him.

The smoke gradually condensed and became more solid in mid-air.

The scene before him was too familiar to Zhou An.

Isn't this the standard process when proficiency is triggered?

Zhou An lowered his head, looked at the water burial method in his hand, and suddenly had a hint of enlightenment.

"I'm just reading a fucking book, and you triggered my proficiency?"

Before Zhou An could think about it carefully, the text in front of him gradually became clear.
