You have mastered the art of thunder and you tell me that it is in a strange world?

Chapter 11 What do you do for a living?
"Boss, is your business legitimate? Why do you ask people if they are virgins right at the start?"

Zuo Chen had a big smile on his face when he said this, and there was no sign of anything unusual in his behavior.

"Serious, of course it is serious! Taoist priest, you are from another place, right? Go outside and ask around about the reputation of our Bai Lao Society. We are doing serious business."

Zhao San laughed heartily: "To be honest, I found you two because I saw that you two were good-looking and seemed like a wonderful couple."

"What does this have to do with whether we are virgins or not?" Zuo Chen asked.

"Our Bai Lao Society is going to offer sacrifices to the river god recently, and we need boys and girls to preside over the ceremony. If you two are the ones, that would be perfect!"

"Sacrifice to the river god?" Zuo Chen raised his eyes slightly: "Aren't you going to be thrown into the river?"

"How is that possible?" Zhao San shook his head. "Let the two of you change into new clothes and go to the river to burn incense. That's all."

"That sounds good. Then shall we go to the Bai Lao Club tomorrow?"

"Ah, why rush? Tomorrow, after you finish your meal, you two can get on my boat. I will take you there and arrange two upper rooms for you! When the matter is done, Mr. Bai will definitely reward you handsomely!"

After saying that, Zhao San directly docked the boat beside them and stared at the two of them with burning eyes.

"Master, keep an eye on us two to prevent us from running away!"

Caiyi lowered her voice.

"It can be seen that he has set his sights on the two of us. If we don't agree today, he will probably jump into the house and arrest us."

Caiyi snorted coldly when she heard this:

"He is not afraid of arresting two people who are not virgins."

Zuo Chen stared at Caiyi and said:
"If a person has red jade, he can tell from his face whether his Yuan Yin and Yuan Yang are still there. Since the Bai Lao Society has sent him out to arrest people, he will naturally know how to read faces."

When Caiyi heard this, she thought about it for a moment, then her face turned red. She first covered her chest with both hands, then suddenly felt that this action seemed a little wrong, then she spread out her palms to cover her face.

"Can you tell?"

“You can tell at first glance.”

Caiyi blushed to her ears, but finally she spread her hands and drank bowl after bowl of fish soup.

Another incense stick of time passed, and just when Zhao San and others were getting a little impatient, Caiyi finally drank up the last bit of fish soup in the iron pot.

She licked her lips with her tongue, but she didn't feel full at all. Instead, her blood and energy surged upward throughout her body, causing her forehead to sweat slightly.

"You two have finished eating, so let's get on board!"

Zhao San shouted and the two of them got on his boat.

With a push of the oars, the boat slowly moved forward along the stream in the city.

The oars startled the young fish in the lake. When the fry frantically flapped their tails and swam from the stream to the lake, Zhao San also brought Zuo Chen and the other man to a courtyard of the Bai Lao Society.

Zhao Sanxian jumped off the boat and greeted everyone as he entered the yard:
"Prepare the room!"

He looked at Zuo Chen and the other man again, smiling:
"You two wait here for a moment. I'll go in and report. I'll be back in a moment."

Then he hurriedly walked towards the depths of the house.

The two were left in the yard. Caiyi looked around with a little caution, as if she was afraid that more than a dozen big men would rush out and surround them.

But when he thought that the river god had entered his stomach, his attitude immediately became superior, as if he was the master of the house.

After waiting for a while, Zhao San brought over a short, sturdy man.

The man looked Zuo Chen and Cai Yi up and down, then smiled:
“Just now, Xiao Sanzi said that he had found a wonderful couple. They are indeed beautiful!

"I am Xu Fugui, the president of Bai Lao Hui. You two will stay in our Bai Lao Hui today. If you have any needs, just let us know."

Xu Fugui said generously. "Thank you, President." Zuo Chen thanked him with a smile, then said, "I do have something to ask of you."

"Ok?"

Xu Fugui, who was originally quite generous, suddenly changed his expression.

He was just being polite, but he didn't expect the other party to actually have some ideas.

"Just tell me what you need."

"I was seeking the truth on Gray Mountain before, but I didn't learn much. I had planned to go down the mountain and join the Bai Lao Society. Now I just hope to learn a few tricks."

Zuo Chen said.

This was not a lie. At least before he met the River God, this was what he had in mind.

After hearing Zuo Chen's words, Xu Fugui and Zhao San looked at each other.

I want to learn some tricks.

If this were normal, if Xu Fugui heard a taciturn boy saying this to him, he would definitely slap him.

After smoking, he had to make the other party urinate to take a good look at himself and see what he looked like, for he even dared to try to imitate Bai Laohui's tricks.

but now……

I'm going to die the day after tomorrow anyway, so it doesn't hurt to teach them a few tricks today.

"Zhao San, don't you know a few tricks of water walking? Teach the little Taoist priest."

Xu Fugui glanced at Zhao San.

Zhao San pointed at himself.

I?
Don’t I have to look for clues about the Wenxiang Gang tomorrow?

But he didn't dare to disobey the president, so he could only bite the bullet and endure it.

Xu Fugui did not stay here for long. He just told the waiters here to prepare more chicken, duck, fish and meat and to host a banquet for the two of them tomorrow.

After Xu Fugui left, Zhao Sancai looked at Zuo Chen with resentment.

Zuo Chen pretended not to see it.

Caiyi lowered her voice and leaned close to Zuo Chen's ear:

"Master, you are already so capable, why do you still want to learn the methods of the Bai Lao Society?"

"It's never a burden to have too many skills."

In fact, the main reason is that the Taoist scriptures do not record any other magical powers except the Shangqing Thunder Method. At present, Zuo Chen relies entirely on the mystery of the innate spiritual energy to perform his methods, but this method is too primitive after all, and Zuo Chen himself feels that something is wrong.

Taoism is supposed to be mysterious and wonderful. There is no way that one can just chop down with a palm like he did.

He spent more than a year in the mountains before he learned the technique of "shrinking the earth into an inch", and it would probably take even longer to study other things.

After all, Bai Laohui is said to be the local tyrant. Although his current strength is probably far inferior to his own, what if his skills are unique?
Now that you are here, shouldn't you ask for my advice?

Zhao San sighed and said:
"If you want to join our Bai Lao Society, you have to go through an examination.

"First of all, they have to be of the right age. Those under sixteen are not welcome, as they are not mature enough. Those over twenty are not welcome, as they are not hot-tempered enough.

"Originally, a young Taoist like you, even if you join the Bai Lao Society, can only be an errand boy, and you will definitely not learn any skills. But today, the president has spoken, so I will teach you a thing or two. How much you can learn depends on yourself.

"I will teach you two tricks, one is called Turtle Breathing, and the other is called Water Bones. You must listen carefully and don't miss any details."
