Chapter 69 The Deer and the Cauldron

After finishing up the cattle business, Zhou Yongcheng went to Zhu Cheng's place for a while. Zhu Cheng was going to arrange dinner, but Zhou Yongcheng said there would be plenty of time in the future.

It was almost evening when I drove home. My second uncle and the others had already eaten dinner, and my aunt made Zhou Yongcheng a fish soup noodle soup.

"A fisherman caught a fish today, but unfortunately his fishing rod broke, which made him so angry he was jumping up and down," Uncle said.

While eating noodles, Zhou Yongcheng responded, "It is indeed a pity. The fishing rod was broken, and the fish must have weighed at least several dozen kilograms."

"There should be."

After finishing their noodles, the three of them sat by the stove chatting. As they talked, they asked about Zhou Yongcheng's girlfriend. Zhou Yongcheng said he wasn't busy and hadn't met the right one yet.

At that moment, the door was pushed open, and Zhou Yongkang walked in from the outside.

He greeted everyone and sat down next to the stove.

“A stove is more reliable. When you burn firewood, the whole house is warm. Our electric stove is useless; it only warms your feet. It’s not very useful,” Zhou Yongkang said.

"That thing isn't very warm; in winter, it's better to burn coal."

"Yongkang, how's it going with your girlfriend?" his aunt asked.

"The conversation seemed alright. She said she'll be back in a few days, so I'll meet her then and spend some time with her to see what she's really like."

When people sit together, they usually just chat about everyday things, and there's not much else to talk about. If some young people sit together, they either drink and brag or play cards.

"Why isn't your brother back yet? And Zhou Yongrong hasn't come back either. What are they doing out there?" Zhou Yongcheng asked.

“My brother is in the marble business with Uncle Guoqiao in southern Fujian. I heard it’s going well, but he never tells the family the specifics. I heard from Yonghong that Rong is working on a construction site, but I haven’t asked him for details.”

Zhou Yongkang's brother was named Zhou Yongxiang, who was in his thirties. After getting married, he and his wife went to live with Zhou Guoqiao.

Zhou Guoqiao is doing very well in the Minnan region, though it's unclear exactly how well. He hasn't been home for many years.

Zhou Yongrong is Zhou Guohua's eldest son, and his wife is Tu Jinsha. They have been working on construction sites for years and I heard they are doing quite well.

They hadn't been chatting for long when another person came in; it was Zhou Guohua.

"Yongcheng, the fish in your fishpond are too expensive. We can't afford them at all," Zhou Guohua complained to Zhou Yongcheng as soon as he entered the house.

“My dear uncle, other people pay 500 yuan per catty for fish caught directly from the pond, but if you catch them yourself, I won’t take a single cent,” Zhou Yongcheng replied.

"Let's forget about it. So many professionals come here to fish, and after so long, they've only caught a few fish."

Then more people came into the house, and gradually more and more people came into the house by the fishpond, making it lively.

Around 10 p.m., Zhou Guohua asked his second uncle to arrange a late-night snack. So Zhou Yongcheng took out all the fish he had killed earlier, made a big pot of fish soup, and cooked a pot of noodles.

"Yongcheng made the arrangements perfectly; we come every day."

Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this, knowing that Zhou Guohua was joking.

After having a late-night snack, they sat for a long time before going home.

Zhou Yongcheng returned home and, looking at the new light source that had appeared in the mysterious space, thought, "Let's go see what this new world is like."

Entering the new world, Zhou Yongcheng appeared in an alley.

Before he even left the alley, Zhou Yongcheng saw rat-tail braids everywhere.

It's obvious what dynasty this is: the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

You'd need to ask someone for the specific timeframe.

Zhou Yongcheng took out a piece of silver from his spatial storage and walked out of the alley.

He attracted attention as soon as he appeared; it was impossible for his attire not to draw attention.

Zhou Yongcheng ignored their stares and walked down the street on his own.

He hadn't gone far when he heard the sounds of fighting, and then a loud shout.

"Mao Shiba, where do you think you're going?"

When Zhou Yongcheng heard Mao Shiba's name, he thought, "Isn't that a character from The Deer and the Cauldron?"

The common people he saw had rat-tail braids, a style only worn by the Manchus. Now that Mao Shiba has appeared, it must be The Deer and the Cauldron.

This world has mediocre military strength and isn't very interesting. However, we could take on the Manchu Qing dynasty. But while we could take on the Manchu Qing, we're afraid that those damned Manchu Qing would take their anger out on the common people.

Ignoring everything else, Zhou Yongcheng quickly chased after the direction from which the sound came.

Mao Shiba was being pursued by Qing soldiers. Just as he was about to be caught, he used all his strength to widen the distance.

The entire street was thrown into chaos by the Qing soldiers and Mao Shiba, and many people and merchants scattered and fled to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

"Mao Shiba, why don't you surrender now?"

"You think you can catch your grandpa Mao Shiba? No way."

When Zhou Yongcheng arrived at the place where they were fighting, Mao Shiba was already covered in injuries and probably wouldn't last much longer.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Yongcheng leaped into their fighting circle, knocking many Qing soldiers away. He then picked up Mao Shiba and flew away.

Carrying Mao Shiba, he flew away from the capital and arrived at a temple.

"Mao Shiba is very grateful for your life-saving grace, senior."

Mao Shiba kowtowed to Zhou Yongcheng to express his gratitude.

"No need to thank me, get up. I only saved you because I saw that you are a righteous person who often stands up for the people and cleans up corrupt officials. Otherwise, I would not have saved you."

Zhou Yongcheng learned some information from Mao Shiba. It seemed that this was still a long time coming. Kangxi had not yet assumed personal rule, Wei Xiaobao had not yet entered the palace, and Ao Bai had not yet died.

Zhou Yongcheng found this world boring and meaningless, mainly because it didn't contain what he wanted.

After glancing at Mao Shiba, Zhou Yongcheng gave him two martial arts manuals, one on mental cultivation and the other on martial arts techniques.

"Cultivate yourself well, do more to serve the people, and clean up those corrupt officials."

"Thank you, senior. I will keep your teachings in mind."

Zhou Yongcheng leaped into the air and arrived above the palace. Should he kill Emperor Kangxi?

However, even after Kangxi is overthrown, someone else will rise to power, and the country may fall into chaos again, with the common people suffering the most.

It's a pity that Zhou Yongcheng didn't intend to become emperor, otherwise he could have tried it here. With his strength, replacing the Qing Dynasty would have been a piece of cake.

Anyone who disobeys will be killed, heads will roll, and we'll see who dares to disobey.

Zhou Yongcheng shook his head and disappeared from the world of The Deer and the Cauldron, entering an unknown world to begin his cultivation.

Zhou Yongcheng's progress in cultivating in the unknown world was extremely rapid, as the spiritual energy in the unknown world was quite abundant.

After this period of cultivation, Zhou Yongcheng felt that he would soon be able to enter the Innate True Essence Realm.

The true liquid in his dantian is almost at its peak. When the true liquid is cultivated to perfection, it will slowly transform into true essence.

His cultivation of the Golden Bell Shield went smoothly, reaching the Innate Realm. When he used the Golden Bell Shield for defense, an innate aura resembling a golden bell would form around his body. As his cultivation of the Golden Bell Shield deepened, the innate aura became more and more solid.

After completing a day of cultivation, Zhou Yongcheng did not read or study, but instead pondered the worlds he had transmigrated to. Were those worlds opened up by his cheat system just so he could roam freely in them?

Or is there some other meaning? The cheat code doesn't have an intelligent assistant or any tasks. If it's just about cultivating to become stronger, it would be fine if it only unlocked those high-martial arts worlds, super-martial arts worlds, or even better, immortal cultivation worlds.

So far, he has traveled through ten worlds, including martial arts worlds and modern urban worlds. He really doesn't understand what the point of his cheat system opening up those worlds is.

Unable to figure it out, Zhou Yongcheng turned to the world of The Deer and the Cauldron, in which he wanted to overthrow the Qing Dynasty, but he didn't have the time for it.
