The waiter also asked the shopkeeper back then, but the shopkeeper only told him that the old chef had an unusual background and told him not to mess with the old chef. However, after more than ten years, the waiter has long forgotten the shopkeeper's original warning.
The shopkeeper of this tavern has a good friend in the county town, and he almost never comes back. The whole tavern is only managed by the waiter and the old chef.
It wasn't until today that the waiter realized what the shopkeeper must have seen, which made him be polite to the old chef. Then he thought about the shopkeeper, who has become more and more generous in recent years, and almost doesn't care whether the tavern is profitable or not.
, the waiter seemed to vaguely understand something. I am afraid that this matter has something to do with the old chef.
Qin Li waved his hand and asked the frightened waiter to go down first. He looked at the old chef and smiled and said: "Old man, if you don't mind, come over and have a drink."
The old chef nodded naturally, and without saying a word, he took out a large bowl from the kitchen, picked up a large jar of wine from the floor, and sat down next to Qin Li.
In the past, the waiter would have been furious, but what happened today was weird from the inside out. First, a noble man came to this small town who shouldn't have come at all, and then he kept a low profile and remained silent for more than ten years.
The old chef suddenly seemed to have changed. His sharp eyes made people think of death for a moment.
Therefore, even though the waiter saw the old chef going to Dixiang to get wine, he didn't say a word nonsense, and he honestly ran to the kitchen and added two more dishes.
The waiter has been in this tavern for many years and his cooking skills are quite good.
The old chef and Qin Li sat there without saying anything, but drank three bowls of wine directly at each other, and then placed the bowls on the table. Qin Li did not use his strength to force the wine, and drank three bowls in a row.
,feeling very good
The old chef's old wrinkled face is also very rosy." Putting down the wine bowl, the old chef looked at Qin Li and asked: "Young Master is going to Saint Lady Lake, but are you looking for someone by the Saint Lady Lake?"
Qin Li thought to himself, as expected, this old chef is here. As soon as Qin Li saw him, he didn't even need to use his spiritual sense to test him, he knew that this old man was not an ordinary person. His strength was well hidden, and only Qin Li could
Only in this state can you feel it
Even if it were an ordinary Earth Immortal, he would ignore the old chef, because the old man looks so inconspicuous, wearing a coarse cloth, with a wrinkled face, somewhat dark skin, and silver hair.
He spoke tremblingly, and there was not a single trace of energy fluctuations in his body.
Not everywhere in this world can you find adventures, nor can you find extraordinary masters everywhere. Once you reach a certain level, even if you want to keep a low profile, you actually can’t.
Qin Li nodded directly and said: "Yes, I want to go to the Saintess Lakeside to resolve some grievances."
"By the Saintess Lake..." The old chef's words were full of emotion. He sighed, as if he was caught in a distant memory. After a while, he looked up at Qin Li and asked, "Did the young master come across the void?"
"
Qin Li's face turned red and he smiled awkwardly: "It's off..."
The old chef gathered together and smiled and said: "That's right, I'm only over 20,000 miles away. I think back then..." At this point, the old chef stopped talking, and then whispered to himself: "Grudges, grudges...
By the Saint Lady Lake…”
As he said this, he suddenly raised his head and said, "Master, I have a heartless request. I hope you can agree to it."
Qin Li looked at the old chef with a half-smile, and replied with a smile: "Old chef, do you also have an old grudge with Saintess Lakeside?"
The old chef shook his head like a rattle: "No, no..."
Qin Li laughed: "That means there is an old friend there, hahahaha."
The old chef stared, wanting to say something, rolled his eyes, closed his mouth again, and snorted: "Impolite little guy"
Qin Li suddenly felt that this old man was quite cute. Although he was extremely powerful, he could stay in such a remote place for more than ten years, guarding this poverty and willing to be a man called by ordinary people.
The old chef who drank away, if he hadn't happened to appear in this place today, I'm afraid he, the old chef, would have continued to be the chef?
"Okay, it just so happens that I don't have much interest in being alone. If you want to follow me, old man, then just follow. When the time comes, I will definitely show mercy to your old sweetheart and spare her life."
Qin Li said this and laughed happily. He hadn't communicated with someone so easily for a long time. Mainly because in a place like this, he could meet a strong man who hid himself very deeply. It was surprising at the same time.
, I have to admire this old man’s character, he must be a very strong and determined person.
The old chef was so furious that he rolled his eyes and muttered: "The world is getting worse, the world is getting worse."
After drinking, Qin Li threw out a few more pieces of silver from the ring, at least dozens of taels, which made the waiter's eyes widen.
"Little brother, you old chef, I took it away. With this money, you can go do some business." Qin Li said with a smile, turned around and walked outside.
The old chef took a look at the white silver on the table without even looking at it. He curled his lips and thought to himself:... There are at least a million taels of gold and silver in the ring. You are so damn stingy. The world is going downhill."
Qin Li couldn't hear what the old chef was saying, and even if he heard it, he wouldn't care. For ordinary people in this kind of place, giving him too much money may not be a good thing.
If he doesn't spend this money extravagantly, it will be enough for him to live a peaceful life. As for the owner of this tavern, Qin Li has never seen him and has nothing to do with him.
Moreover, Qin Li believes that since the old chef is willing to stay in this tavern for more than ten years, he will definitely repay his kindness to the shopkeeper.
Qin Li firmly believes in this, not to mention an old man who doesn't look bad. Even those who have done all the bad things will rarely have a bad taste for their savior. No matter how bad the person is, they will.
He has his own limits. If he really has no limits at all, then he cannot be called a human being.
More than 20,000 miles is not too far for a person of Qin Li's level. Even if he travels normally, he can get there in more than ten days.
Qin Li was not in a hurry, and the old chef didn't seem to be in a hurry. He didn't say what he was going to do when he went to the Saint Lady Lake, and Qin Li didn't ask.
The old chef was wearing a coarse cloth, and he followed Qin Li slowly and slowly. Qin Li tried to speed up several times, but he could not catch up with the old chef.
Qin Li really wanted to use the Xing Zi Jue in the ancient magical power, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it. On the one hand, he had never shown this kind of ancient magical power in front of the world, and he didn't want to expose it so early. On the other hand, the old chef
It seems that humans and animals are harmless, but it is hard to say whether they are enemies or friends.
In this way, the two of them walked leisurely. The old chef's cooking skills were indeed very good. Along the way, Qin Li was full of praise for the food. No matter what the conditions were, no matter what kind of ingredients, when the old chef arrived,
In the hands of the chef, he will make delicious dishes that make people salivate.
"Old man, to be honest, with your strength, how could you stay in such a small town for more than ten years?" Qin Li asked casually as the two walked through the endless mountains on this day.
"Return a favor"
The old chef replied: "I was seriously injured and almost died. It was the owner of this tavern who saved me. Hey, it's hard to imagine that the owner of this tavern has an ancestor from Zhongzhou in ancient times.
The famous god of medicine, the old man, the kind of poison I was poisoned with, tsk, damn, it was a strange poison in this world. I originally thought it had no cure, but I didn’t expect that I was saved by a tavern owner in this remote country.
"
When the old chef said this, he looked sad and said with a wry smile: "I am actually a person who should have died a long time ago. It's a pity that God won't accept me. Hey, it's quite comfortable to live in this town, at least not
People come here to hunt me down, but if I hadn’t met a little guy like you and mentioned Saint Lady Lake, I would have wanted to live there for a few more decades."
"Is there really an old sweetheart of yours by the Saintess Lake?" Qin Li said with a sinister smile on his face.
"Go away!" The old chef rolled his eyes.
Nine days later, Qin Li and the old chef stood on a high peak, overlooking the large lake in the distance. The end of the large lake in front of them could not be seen at a glance. The lake water was clear and blue, and the breeze blew by, causing ripples.
"Why is this place called Saint Lady Lake?" Qin Li said to himself.
"According to legend, in the ancient times, there was an ancient goddess, known as the Saint, who had great power. The place where she lived was a mountainous area at that time, and there was no large area of water. The Saint liked to be clean, and she had to bathe several times a day...
"
Qin Li saw that the old chef had an ambiguous look on his face when he said this, and couldn't help but laugh at him: "Your old friend also likes to be clean?"
"Little one, if you keep talking nonsense, I will fight with you." The old chef replied angrily to Qin Li, and then said: "So, the ancient goddess used the magic of reaching the sky to open up a big lake. So, here
It’s called Saint Lady Lake.”
Qin Li curled his lips: "Old chef, is this something you made up? It's dry and tasteless at all."
The old chef snorted and said, "Believe it or not?"
Qin Li smiled and said nothing. Being with the old chef and teasing him a few words can keep him in a happy mood for a long time. This old man is very knowledgeable. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is knowledgeable about the past and the present.
This Bogu refers to the ancient times. Over the past few days, the old chef has made Qin Li a lot more knowledgeable. He tells some stories about the ancient times casually, although most of the time Qin Li laughs at him for making them up.
But in his heart, Qin Li still respected this old man who looked ordinary but was actually unfathomable.
The old chef never asked Qin Li his name and always addressed him as "little guy", "little thing" and "little bastard". Qin Li was not annoyed and could call the old chef whatever he wanted.
Anyway, Qin Li also calls him "old chef" and "old guy".
