Chapter 127: Reason
Yang Wanjiang, who was meditating cross-legged in the quiet room, opened his eyes consciously, the light in his eyes flashed, and he listened attentively, the old man twisted his beard and smiled bitterly, after a little hesitation, Yang Wanjiang still stood up slowly, straightened his wrinkled clothes and walked out.
As soon as Yang Wanjiang walked into the corridor, an old man walked up to him, and when he saw Yang Wanjiang appear, the old man didn't seem surprised, but said in a calm whisper:
"Door master, Xiao Feng is asking to see you outside. ”
"Well, let her come to the study, and please bring two cups of tea. ”
The old man nodded and turned away, while Yang Wanjiang turned up the stairs and went up to the second floor.
As soon as Yang Wanjiang sat down on the wooden sofa, Lin Xiaofeng had already knocked at the door, and it seemed that she was in a hurry.
"Come in. ”
Before Yang Wanjiang's words fell, Lin Xiaofeng had already pushed open the door of the study and hurriedly walked in.
"Master"
"It's so late and you're still running, is there anything you can't call to say?"
"Didn't you say that Xu Xingkong's matter should be kept strictly secret?"
Yang Wanjiang raised his hand to signal Lin Xiaofeng to shut up, then looked at the direction of the door, pressed his palm and motioned for Lin Xiaofeng to sit down.
Lin Xiaofeng looked back behind her, walked to sit opposite the master, and looked at the master with cold eyes, until there was a sound of footsteps in the corridor, she retracted her sharp eyes, and returned to an ethereal state.
The old man gave two cups of tea, and then silently withdrew.
When the old man's footsteps disappeared on the stairs, Yang Wanjiang picked up the teacup and plucked the tea leaves floating on the water with the lid, and took a sip before he spoke:
"Tell me, what made you so anxious, have you forgotten what I told you repeatedly?"
"No, Master, this matter, this matter is really important. ”
Yang Wanjiang grinned, put down the teacup, looked at the serious Lin Xiaofeng playfully and said, "It's very important and you can't be in a hurry, what's the use of being in a hurry?"
Lin Xiaofeng pursed his mouth. Yang Wanjiang glanced at Yang Wanjiang with some dissatisfaction: "However, it's really important." ”
"Hehe, okay, tell me what you think is important!"
Lin Xiaofeng nodded and said solemnly, "Master." Today, not long ago, I saw Xu Xingkong's Returning Technique. ”
"Returning to the Yuan?oh, he practiced it himself according to the "Detailed Explanation of Techniques" I gave him, how about it. Is it still decent?"
"It's just amazing, I feel jealous when I look at it!"
Yang Wanjiang's pupils shrank slightly, and then he twisted his beard and smiled indifferently: "Oh, so this kid's talent is good, and his understanding is okay." ”
Lin Xiaofeng was very dissatisfied with Master's casual attitude, and pouted: "Master, he is not good, but very, very good, no, it should be said that he is definitely a genius who has not been seen in a hundred years! His Returning Spell casting efficiency must have exceeded sixty percent, you must know that it has only been a few days since he got the "Detailed Explanation of Spells" you gave!"
Lin Xiaofeng looked at the master without blinking, wanting to see something from the master's expression, but she was disappointed, the master still smiled so unobtrusively, and didn't seem to be surprised by the news at all, could it be that he already knew? Otherwise, even if it was a well-informed person like the master, how could it be difficult to be so calm when he heard such news.
Lin Xiaofeng frowned: "Master, did you already know?"
Yang Wanjiang smiled without saying a word, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea unhurriedly. Only then did he say slowly: "Although I don't know that kid has increased the casting efficiency of the Returning Technique to this level, but I can probably guess this situation, otherwise, how could I attach so much importance to him?"
"Pay attention to him, Master. You don't make sense, are you kidding me?"
Yang Wanjiang laughed, shook his head and said sadly: "Xiao Feng, don't you even believe in Master anymore?"
Lin Xiaofeng secretly pursed his lips and said with a stern expression: "Of course I believe in Master, but." What you say is completely different from what you do! Since you know about Xu Xingkong's qualifications, why don't you take him into the sect to train him personally, and even don't let me teach him the knowledge of cultivation, is this the importance you attach to him?"
Yang Wanjiang smiled when he heard this, and gradually took away the contempt and smile on his face, and the majesty of the superior unconsciously emanated, making Lin Xiaofeng involuntarily put away the little girl's presumptuousness.
"It's because I value him that I do it. ”
"But why?"
"Didn't you already say the answer just now!"
Yang Wanjiang smiled slightly, and after speaking, he looked at his favorite apprentice with a little playfulness.
Lin Xiaofeng furrowed his brows, pondered for a while before suddenly saying, "Ah, is it because of jealousy?" Master, are you worried that you attach too much importance to Xu Xingkong, which will attract the jealousy of your fellow disciples or other demon hunters, and will eventually harm him?"
Yang Wanjiang nodded sternly and said, "Yes, that's exactly why." You must know that geniuses are not too rare in this world, but most of them have died young, and I am protecting him by doing so. ”
Lin Xiaofeng said abruptly: "So you let him be a peripheral person, and label him as Yushan Yuzhai, so that outsiders don't dare to touch him lightly, and at the same time, you don't let him enter the inner gate, which won't cause the jealousy of the inner door master brothers, but what does this have to do with you not letting me teach him cultivation knowledge?"
"It's very simple, don't let him rise too fast, if his strength rises too fast, you know what the consequences will be, right? Aren't you just running to question me in the middle of the night because of this? If you teach him systematic cultivation knowledge, I think he may have caught up with your strength now." ”
Lin Xiaofeng frowned, he was really a little uncomfortable in his heart, he could have the current strength, it was a huge price, and it took more than ten years of hard work to get it, if Xu Xingkong could catch up with his strength in such a short time, that kind of frustration was too uncomfortable, and even gave birth to a little inexplicable hatred for Xu Xingkong.
Of course, Lin Xiaofeng knew that her thoughts were wrong, and this kind of thinking would even have a negative impact on the cultivation of her mind, but she couldn't let herself not give birth to such thoughts.
I have to admit that Yang Wanjiang's ideas and strategies are extremely correct, Lin Xiaofeng can't do it herself, of course she can't guarantee that others can do it, if Xu Xingkong is really admitted to Yang Wanjiang early. and carefully adjusted, and now Xu Xingkong's body is estimated to be full of countless hatreds.
Qianfu pointed out that he died without a problem, although Yang Wanjiang was protected, Xu Xingkong could not stay by Yang Wanjiang's side forever. I'm afraid that what awaits him at that time will never be a good ending.
"Well, I understand, Master. ”
"What do you understand?"
Yang Wanjiang asked narrowly.
Lin Xiaofeng glanced at his master in surprise, and said with a slight astonishment: "Of course, it is to continue to suppress his progress and make him less noticeable." ”
"Heheno, we're not trying to suppress his progress. On the contrary, we must push him to make as much progress as possible, but at the same time keep him out of the spotlight until one day when he has to appear in the eyes of the crowd, he must already have the ability to protect himself, and that's what you have to do. ”
Lin Xiaofeng was suddenly, and at the same time, he also had a strong sense of responsibility in his heart, and a little bit of vanity, when he thought that Xu Xingkong, an unborn genius, had grown up under his own protection and guidance, Lin Xiaofeng couldn't help but feel a little proud.
"Hmm. Now that I know Master, I will do my best to help him, so can I quietly impart complete cultivation knowledge to him?"
"No, let him exchange his efforts for this knowledge, so maybe he will be more diligent, don't you think he always has a kind of petty citizen in his bones and laziness?"
"It seems to be the same, well, I know what to do. ”
"Very well, if you don't have any doubts, go home and sleep. Master, I'm sleepy too, ah."
Yang Wanjiang yawned loudly, Lin Xiaofeng glanced at the master strangely, nodded with a smile, and said, "Good night then." Master. ”
Waiting for Lin Xiaofeng's figure to disappear behind the door of the study, Yang Wanjiang exhaled heavily, took a big sip of the teacup, and said to himself with a smile:
"Finally fooled this girl, now she won't suspect anything, right?
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in front of the bookshelf on the side:
"The master of the door. Aren't you worried that Yu Changling and Lu Tongda will take a fancy to that kid?"
Yang Wanjiang seemed to have known that there was such a person there, and smiled without looking back: "Do they dare? Even if they really have any ideas, they have to figure out why I said this to that kid first." ”
"Are you suspicious? Since that kid is so important, isn't it?"
"No, we have done what we have to do, sometimes it is easy to make mistakes if we do too much, we have to have confidence in ourselves, and we have faith in that kid. ”
"What about that kid?"
"Hehe, don't underestimate that kid, I bet heavily on him, and even gave him the last demon book of zuò handmade by my master. ”
At the same moment, Xu Xingkong was stunned at the precious book of demon suppression that Yang Wanjiang said,
"No, it won't, why is there a return technique on this, Nima, this is a technique I learned myself, and it is not a natural skill obtained by dissociating demons, is it possible that Lao Tzu is a genius?
Xu Xingkong subconsciously looked at his feet, and there was obviously no mysterious aura there.
However, how to explain this Returning Technique that appears on the title page of the Demon Suppression Book? Could it be that this is a natural skill that I have cultivated? Or is my own Yuan Shen particularly in line with the application of Returning to the Yuan Technique, so it has become a natural skill? Or is there a monster hidden under the skin of my own person, so I have a natural skill, but what kind of monster's natural skill is Returning to the Yuan?
Xu Xingkong was completely messy.
"Forget it, I can't think of a reason anyway, since Lao Tzu has natural skills, it must be a good thing! Even if there is any demon bloodline in my bloodline, anyway, no matter whether the demon is a good person or not, in short, I am still just right, sleep, sleep. No, you should learn another kind of different techniques, if you can master another completely different kind of natural skills, it means that you are not a demon blood, yes, just do it, then the Five Elements Enchantment Technique!
