It seems that I really shouldn't have asked that question......

Looking down at the beautifully made business card in his hand, Lin Yang smiled bitterly.

After Lin Yang and Uncle Wang quieted down, Xi Mengyao, who had been staring at the jade seal and observing, said with curiosity: "Hey, what kind of snake is it wrapped around the seal, how can it have nine heads?

Uncle Wang was noncommittal, and said with a smile: "What ancient Greece is not ancient Greece, if you want me to say, this hydra is clearly naturally formed, and it has nothing to do with the legends of any family, it is purely a coincidence." ”

But Lin Yang has a different opinion: "This hydra is not the Lena Hydra in ancient Greek legends, but the strange beast Xiongbo in my country's legends!"

Ever since he saw the jade hydra wrapped around the seal, Lin Yang let his divine sense enter the jade slip and flipped through the relevant classics. Eventually, he found the answer in a volume of bamboo slips called "Foreign Object Records".

"Uncle Xiong?

Not only Xi Mengyao, but even the well-informed Uncle Wang is also very unfamiliar with this name.

Lin Yang recalled what he saw in "Foreign Object Record" and told the two: "During the Qin and Han dynasties, there was a ghost exorcism ritual called 'Da Da'. In this ritual, twelve species of exotic beasts are enshrined that devour the plague. And Xiongbo is one of them. Legend has it that it was a huge nine-headed snake. In the Book of Etiquette of the Later Han Dynasty, there is also a record of 'Xiongbo Eating Charm'......"

"You know a lot. Xi Mengyao never thought that this guy, who seemed to her to be a stupid big man, would still know such obscure and cold knowledge. You know, she's from the Department of Archaeology, but she's very unfamiliar with this legend.

"According to you, this hydra is still a spirit beast that eats female ghosts......? Perhaps, this natural Xiongbo seal still has the effect of driving away evil spirits and shocking evil. Xi Mengyao said jokingly.

Lin Yang corrected: "Xiongbo is a strange beast that eats charms, and this charm is not just a female ghost. Any ghost that has the ability to deceive people can be called a ghost. ”

Xi Mengyao stuck out her tongue, and her demeanor was extremely well-behaved and cute: "Do you need to be so serious? It makes this shijie seem to be a ghost." ”

"There are ghosts on this shijie...... Lin Yang raised his hand and pointed far away: "Oh, there are ghosts on your left." Look, he's greeting you. ”

Chen Shiwen, who was floating on Xi Mengyao's left, beckoned to her with a smile.

It's a pity that as an ordinary person, Xi Mengyao can't see the ethereal and disembodied ghosts at all. Therefore, she didn't believe what Lin Yang said, she just thought she was joking with herself, and rolled her eyes angrily: "Please, your trick is too old-fashioned, isn't it? You know, I'm a horror movie expert! I've seen countless horror movies, and I'm afraid of your trick?"

I knew that no one would believe such a thing if I told the truth......

Lin Yang shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Now that the calcite has been completed, there is no need for Lin Yang to continue to stay here. After saying goodbye to Uncle Wang and Xi Mengyao, he held the seal of Uncle Xiong and turned around and left.

It was already past five o'clock in the afternoon, and he still had to go to buy some materials needed to refine the jade mountain, so there was really no extra time to waste.

However, as soon as he walked out of the Baishi Hall, Xi Mengyao followed and chased after him quickly: "Silly big man, wait a minute, I have something to ask you." ”

"Stupid big one?" Lin Yang turned to look at her and asked puzzledly, "When did I have this nickname?"

"I don't know what your name is, seeing that you are taller than me, and you are stupid and refuse to listen to my advice, I call you stupid and big......" Speaking of this, Xi Mengyao suddenly remembered that her previous statements were wrong, but fortunately the other party didn't listen, otherwise she would have missed a treasure.

Sticking out her tongue in embarrassment, she hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Let's get to know, my name is Xi Mengyao, and I am a first-year freshman in the Department of Archaeology of West China University." ”

"It's rare for a girl to study this in the Department of Archaeology. Lin Yang smiled, didn't bother with her, and introduced himself: "My name is Lin Yang, I am from the School of Medicine of West China University, and I am also a freshman. ”

"It's such a coincidence? We're from the same school, although we're not in the same department. Hey, wait......" Xi Mengyao suddenly thought of a question, frowned slightly, widened her watery eyes like cartoon characters, and questioned: "You are also a freshman?

"Absolutely. Lin Yang replied: "Although I am a freshman, I have always been studying medicine on my own. Moreover, there is a well-respected doctor who is teaching me carefully. So, for the prescription I was given, you could put a hundred and twenty hearts. ”

"That's good......," Xi Mengyao breathed a sigh of relief.

It can be seen that she is looking forward to the effect of Lin Yang's prescription.

Menstrual cramps and menstruation have been tormenting her for a long time. Especially the former, every time she comes to menstruation, she will be tortured to death and life, and she is in pain. Now that there is a solution, how can she not look forward to it?

"You chased it out, didn't you just want to make sure that the prescription I prescribed had any effect, was there anything else?" Lin Yang asked.

"Oh, I almost forgot about business, but thankfully you reminded me. Xi Mengyao raised her hand and patted her head, this action and demeanor were extremely cute, if you shoot it and upload it to the Internet, it will inevitably fascinate a large group of otaku. "You know how to do it, right?"

"I don't understand. Lin Yang shook his head and denied it.

What kind of thing is that? I've never heard of it!

"Don't understand, how can you not understand?" Xi Mengyao obviously didn't believe what he said, and pouted cutely: "If you don't understand, how can you have to pay for that stone when I say that there is no jade in it?" If you don't understand, how can you ask Uncle Wang to cut the stone into four petals with two horizontal and vertical knives, and then select the one that happens to have jade among them, and let Uncle Wang cut one centimeter according to your instructions, just to solve the jade? Could it be that you plan to tell me that all this is a coincidence?" ”

Hearing Xi Mengyao say this, Lin Yang also felt that his performance just now was like a person with a phase stone thaumaturgy.

To be low-key, to be low-key.

While admonishing himself in his heart, Lin Yang said with a wry smile: "If I really want to say that all this is a coincidence...... Do you believe it?"

"What do you think?" Xi Mengyao glanced at him, and said angrily: "Please, find an excuse and find a reliable one, don't copy what I said as it is." ”

"However, the series of things that happened just now are indeed coincidences. ”

Lin Yang could only insist on the 'coincidence' at this time, he couldn't tell Xi Mengyao that all of this was related to his identity as a cultivator and the invisible ghost floating next to him, right?

Xi Mengyao will believe it!

However, Xi Mengyao also didn't believe the coincidental statement: "Okay, Ming people don't say dark words, I have already seen that you have Xiangshi thaumaturgy, if you continue to hide it like this, it will be a bit embarrassing." ”

Lin Yang wanted to explain again, but Xi Mengyao didn't give him a chance at all, and continued to take care of himself: "Although I don't understand, you Weishenme refuse to admit that you understand the stone technique, but this is not the point. The key is...... I want to worship you as a teacher and learn the art of phase stone!"

When she said Zuihou's words, Xi Mengyao's expression was extremely serious, and she was about to kneel.

Although Xi Mengyao is a member of the Xi family, there is no way to learn the phase stone technique that has been passed down from generation to generation of the Xi family. Because the ancestors of the Xi family set the rules in the family training, this phase stone technique is worn by men and not by women, and by elders but not by children. Therefore, even though Xi Mengyao has a great interest in jade and has a high potential, her father still did not disobey the ancestral teachings and taught her the technique of phase stone.

She said to Ma Monkey before that she already had seventy or eighty percent of her father's phase stone ability, but she was actually boasting. Her Xiangshi's skills are only three or four percent of her father's at most. In her opinion, if she knew how to phase stone, she would not be able to look at the stone just now.

It was precisely because of the desire to learn the Physiognomy technique, the desire to improve his ability, and prove himself to his father and others, that Xi Mengyao would chase Lin Yang out and ask for apprenticeship.

"What are you doing. Lin Yang reacted quickly, and hurriedly reached out to support Xi Mengyao, so that she could not kneel successfully.

Xi Mengyao replied with a serious face: "Apprenticeship, isn't it all like this on TV? When you meet a good master, you don't care about anything else, go forward and bow down first." ”

"What kind of messy TV are you watching here......" Lin Yang couldn't cry or laugh, he really didn't know how to complain. Shaking his head, he spoke, "Miss Xi......"

Xi Mengyao hurriedly said: "Hey, what's your name, Miss, it's too raw, you can call me Mengyao." ”

Get...... I also use honorifics.

The black lines on Lin Yang's head became more and more obvious.

In desperation, he could only smile bitterly and say, "Okay, Meng Yao, listen to me, I really don't know how to do stone magic." Even if you worship me as a teacher, it's useless, you can't learn anything. ”

Xi Mengyao tilted her head and stared at Lin Yang for a few seconds, and suddenly said, "I understand!"

Lin Yang breathed a sigh of relief: "You finally understand, it's good to understand......"

Unfortunately, his joy didn't last long.

Xi Mengyao's next sentence made his happiness disappear in an instant.

"You're testing me! yes, just like on TV. Masters who have the ability will give all kinds of tests, and only those who have passed the tests are qualified to learn from teachers! Well, not only TV, but also playing games, you must first complete the introductory tasks before you can learn from the teacher......"

"I'll you, how stupid are you girl?" Lin Yang was completely speechless, too lazy to stay here and waste time, turned around and left.

"Master, where are you going?" Xi Mengyao hurriedly followed, following suit.

"Don't call me master!" Lin Yang corrected.

"Master haode, no problem master!" Xi Mengyao nodded in agreement, with a serious expression on her face.

"Who are the people I've met here......"

After correcting it several times in a row to no avail, Lin Yang looked up to the sky and sighed, wanting to cry without tears.
