Chapter 3: Child Lock

world of flowers, spending every day at that Qinglou, lost in revelry. Out of thirty days a month, twenty-seven or eight are spent not at home.Knowing this official's importance, Wang Po guessed that...For some reason, Gao Jinlian slept soundly all night and didn't wake up until sunrise.

When she woke up, she smelled a particularly alluring fragrance.

Following the scent downstairs, I saw a cake on the table. The cake wasn't big, but it was adorned with tender green chopped scallions, and beside it was a bowl of egg flower soup.

"Big brother, what kind of cake is this"

Gao Jinhua had never seen such a pastry that was fragrant and oily.

This is called hand-grabbed scallion pancakes, it's fragrant and perfect for your breakfast.

"You eat first, I'll go sell cakes at the door."

Gao Jinlian hearing that Wu Chao was going to sell cakes at the doorstep, couldn't help but say: "These neighbors don't have much money in their hands. How many cakes could they sell right outside their own homes"

"Wu Chao smiled confidently: "Just watch, my husband will sell all these dozens of cakes in less than half an hour!"

Gao Jinlian didn't believe it, but she couldn't refuse her husband's face. Watching Wu Chao go into the inner room, she went to the front hall. She picked up a pancake with her hand and tore off a small piece, discovering that it was layered and pulled apart, with a strong aroma of scallions wafting up...

Half an hour later.

"Uh-oh"

Wu Chao let out a grunt and began to pack up.

He and Gao Jinlian are now renting this house, right on the street.

Although there wasn't a huge crowd, there were still quite a few people coming and going.

When Wu Chao tore open the fragrant scallion pancake, he attracted most of the passersby.

The "crowd effect" worked wonders, and in no time at all, Wu Chao sold out all his cakes.

In this era, the mille crepe pancake is a unique creation. For those who have never tried it, it's simply a top-notch delicacy.

Wu Chao left the last piece of cake for himself. When he was about to take it and eat it while walking back home, a gust of wind brushed past his face.

In a blink of an eye, a hand suddenly reached out and took the last piece of cake and disappeared.

"Oh, oh, old Taoist priest, I won't sell this piece of cake! I'll eat it myself."

At some unknown point in time, a Taoist priest with an ethereal air stood before me. He had white hair but the face of a child, and his expression was kind.

"Little friend, I could smell the aroma of this pastry from five miles away! Alas, my journey was delayed, and by the time I arrived, only this last piece remained. Please have a heart for an old Taoist priest and sell it to me."

Can you smell the aroma of the pastries from five miles away

This old Taoist is fooling who

However, seeing the old Taoist priest's extraordinary mannerisms and the aura of divinity emanating from him.

Wu Chao secretly thought that he probably wasn't an ordinary person, and wondered if he could take advantage of him.

Wu Chao had a hard life growing up, and as a result, he developed the personality of a miser who hoards everything.

Adhering to the principle of "Don't take advantage of a fool," Wu Chao's eyes twitched slightly, and he said with a wry smile: "That won't work, I don't have any extra flour at home right now."

"I've been fasting for three hours now, Master Dao. Please, have some mercy on me and let me eat something before I continue working."

The old Taoist stared at Wuchang and said, "Young friend, give this pastry to the poor Taoist, and I will help you fulfill a wish."

It's done!

Wu Chao made a snap of his fingers in his heart.

He made a pained expression and pointed to his body: "Master Dao, look at my stature of only three inches and five short. Wherever I go, I'm the butt of everyone's jokes. Master Dao, can you help me grow taller"

"This is easy!"

Wu Chao was taken aback. He had just made a casual remark, but he didn't expect the old Taoist priest to actually be able to do it!

"This is a congenital child lock. As long as you unlock it, you will definitely grow into a man eight or nine feet tall!"

"Unlocking the child's lock allows for strong bones, innate divine power, and unexpected blessings!"

Saying that, the old Taoist's hand suddenly landed on Wu Chao's chest.

At this moment, all of Wu Chao's bones made a sound like "crackling"!

The excruciating pain caused Wu Chao to be momentarily speechless, his face pale as he broke out in a cold sweat.

But the pain went away quickly.

Wu Chao seemed to have been fished out of the water.

He gasped for breath, staring at the old Taoist priest before him: “My goodness! Master Dao, your palm almost killed me!”

"You, my young friend, are quite interesting. We seem to have fate on our side. Allow me to gift you with one more item."

The old Taoist priest then took out a scroll from his bosom and threw it to Wu Chao.

Wu Chao opened it and saw that it was a manual on internal martial arts, titled "Nine Suns"!

"The beggar sees ambition and determination in your gaze, eyes deep with untold potential. Your future is limitless."

However, you have stepped on the star of fortune and face peach blossom, you will surely be entangled by women in the future.

"This gift is for you, so that in the future you can also tidy up your inner courtyard. May your wives and concubines live harmoniously and happily."

As soon as the words left his mouth, the old Taoist priest, accompanied by a gust of clear wind, vanished from Wu Chao's sight in the blink of an eye.

Wu Chao was taken aback. He didn't expect to actually meet a fairy. He blurted out into the air, "May I ask your honorable name, Taoist master"

"If you, my friend, wish to see me again, come to Mount Erxian in the future."

The old Taoist's voice echoed in his ears, and Wu Chao was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat!

It turns out that this old Taoist priest was actually Liangshan 108 General, ranked third, "In-Cloud Dragon" Gongsun Sheng's master, Luo Zhenren!

The Song Dynasty had two great immortal cultivators. Besides Zhang Tianshi of Longhushan, there was also Lu Zhenren of Erxian Mountain!

Wu Chao has loved reading martial arts novels and the Four Great Classical Novels since he was a child; otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to Shaolin Temple to study.

Although he came from humble beginnings, he has a grand vision. Now that he has obtained this mental method from Master Luo, it can be said that he has added wings to a tiger!

And after being slapped by Lu Zhenren just now, Wu Chao clearly felt that there was inexhaustible strength throughout his body.

Now I feel like my bones are itching and I just want to jump around to get them loose!

He, having experienced growth before, knew this was a sign his body was growing taller!

Wu Chao suddenly felt his feet light as a feather, he turned around excitedly, and saw Gao Jinlian gracefully approaching with the swaying figure of a water snake.

"Eldest son, are you sure all the cakes have been sold out"

Wu Chao laughed and tossed the basket into his own yard, then said to Gao Jinlian, "Let's go out and buy some things."

Gao Jinlian was startled: "Eldest Brother, are you willing to let me out"ade many demands of Gao Jinlian, as if she held an imperial edict in her hand, almost requiring Gao Jinlian to burn incense and bathe."Oh."As Gao Jinlian turned obediently to go wash her hands, Wu Cha...
