Chapter 41: Questions
"Master, I have something I want to ask you, do you have time?"
Yang Wanjiang put down his job, and Lin Xiaofeng asked a little impatiently.
Yang Wanjiang picked up the towel at hand and wiped his mouth, took another sip of tea, rinsed his mouth and swallowed the tea, and then slowly said: "You come to the study, Yonglin, have you finished writing your report?"
Fang Yonglin said respectfully: "I can hand it over to you in the afternoon, do you want to report it orally first?"
"No, can't a few imps be even? β
Fang Yonglin got up and nodded, looking at the master who was leaving quickly, Fang Yonglin's eyes were full of curiosity and puzzlement, the master was obviously trying to break up with himself, what did the junior sister and the master have to say?
Lin Xiaofeng glanced at Fang Yonglin and hurriedly followed the master outside.
Yang Wanjiang tidied up his clothes and sat down on the Taishi chair behind the desk slowly, Lin Xiaofeng first made a cup of fragrant tea for the master, and then sat down on the chair opposite the desk.
Yang Wanjiang spread a piece of rice paper on the desk, flattened it with his hands, pressed two white jade paperweights, opened the inkstone and poured some water, picked up the ink strip with golden patterns painted on the side and slowly grinded it.
Lin Xiaofeng just sat and watched, Yang Wanjiang likes to grind ink by himself, it is said that this can calm his mood, grinding ink is like grinding his own temperament, Lin Xiaofeng watched quietly, and felt that the anxiety in his heart seemed to dissipate quietly with the grinding of his master.
"You want to talk about Xu Xingkong?"
"Yes, Master"
"Xiao Feng, don't worry about Xu Xingkong's affairs, just do as I say, remember, don't ask about this matter in the future, let alone discuss it with anyone, if someone asks, you just say that Xu Xingkong is a bait we have prepared. β
"But"
"No, but!" Yang Wanjiang's tone was surprisingly stern, which made Lin Xiaofeng feel a little uneasy, but the master rarely spoke to him so strictly.
"Well, okay, I see, Master"
Yang Wanjiang put down the ink strip in his hand, and a familiar smile appeared on his face: "Okay, I will naturally tell you when the time is ripe, you are my most proud disciple, you have to have confidence in yourself, come and laugh, don't be cold-faced all day long, waste your good youth, I think when Master and I were mixed in the rivers and lakes, I was called a heartthrob."
"Master, are you sure it's a heartthrob and not a heartthrob? I remember the last time Daoist Qingyu said."
"Stop, stop, Qingyu's girl's words can't be believed, and said Qingyu, I want to be peerless back then, and I won't lose to you at all, but unfortunately, this girl is bent on inheriting the master's mantle, tsk, a waste of resources!"
"Master, are you arranging the Qingyu Dao Chief? I'll sue her next time. β
"Don't, whose apprentice are you, I just recall the green years of the past, you girl! If life is only as first seen, yes, I will draw the girl of Qingyu today, thinking that 'Xuefeng has 8,000 zhang of demonic energy, and a sword kills 100,000 demons', what a style it is!"
Lin Xiaofeng looked at the master's nymphomaniac, and couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart, since the master likes Qingyu Daoist so much, why did he end up in the world and forget about each other?
The study was quiet, and after a while, Yang Wanjiang woke up from his fantasy, wiped the corners of his mouth with a dry smile, raised his hand and waved it like a fly:
"Okay, what should Xiao Feng do, don't bother me here, I want to paint with peace of mind, it just so happens that Qingyu girl's birthday is coming, hehe"
Lin Xiaofeng pursed his lips, the master always said that he wanted to give gifts to the Qingyu Daoist, but it never came true, Lin Xiaofeng was very suspicious, most of the master's feelings were self-inflicted, and the Qingyu Daoist didn't look down on the master at all, right? To be honest, the master's character is really not likable to women.
It's just that Lin Xiaofeng didn't dare to say these words directly to the master, and besides, she was not interested in discussing these with the master.
Lin Xiaofeng's footsteps gradually faded away, Yang Wanjiang slowly raised his head, froze for a moment, put the wolf in his hand back on the inkstone, and looked sideways at a painting on the wall of the study, which was a picture of a pond on a moonlit night, in addition to the pond and the bright moon, there was also a man's back, and the painting was filled with a quiet and distant atmosphere.
After looking at it for a while, Yang Wanjiang sighed, a complex light flashed in his eyes, he looked at the back of the person in the painting stupidly, and muttered to himself:
"Master, is it right or wrong for me to do this?"
Lin Xiaofeng walked down the stairs through the corridor, but found that his senior brother Fang Yonglin was still drinking tea in the living room and did not bother with his report.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Fang Yonglin turned his head and looked at Lin Xiaofeng with a smile.
"Senior sister, it's been a long time since we've had tea together, let's talk?"
"No, I have something to do. β
Lin Xiaofeng was as indifferent as ever, Fang Yonglin smiled bitterly, shook his head lightly, and said, "Are you so busy?"
"Well, there are tasks. β
"Is it still that ambush mission? Has the other party already seen through our plan? After all, there are many irrational things about the appearance of that decoy, speaking of which, what is it called?"
"Xu Xingkong. β
"Yes, Xu Xingkong, who is this person sacred? It can't really be a disciple secretly trained by the master or other sects, right? His appearance is too strange, and the background is strangely too simple, even I doubt his origin, let alone those demons. β
"I don't know, maybe, but aren't you curious?"
"Curious, yes. Fang Yonglin's eyes flashed with a hint of impulsiveness, and it seemed that he was really interested in this.
Lin Xiaofeng nodded coldly, and said in a flat tone: "Since you will also be curious, then they will too, I will go back." β
Fang Yonglin was stunned, and then understood what Lin Xiaofeng was going to say, so he had to smile bitterly again.
"Alright then, next time we get a chance to talk. β
"Hmm. β
Seeing Lin Xiaofeng go out, the strong curiosity in Fang Yonglin's eyes no longer had to be hidden.
It wasn't so much that he was curious about Xu Xingkong, who suddenly appeared, but rather that he was curious about what the master and sister were doing, and why did he hide it?
However, thinking of the sect and the strict discipline of the organization, Fang Yonglin still suppressed the exuberant curiosity and a trace of vague dissatisfaction in his heart. Due to the cruelty of the struggle between the human race and the demons, the situation between the two sides is that you have me, I have you, so strict discipline is the most basic guarantee for a qiΔ action, Fang Yonglin grew up in this environment, he would never dare to challenge these rules, to blatantly inquire about Lin Xiaofeng's task, however, Fang Yonglin had a heart in his heart, and paid attention to this matter silently
Xu Xingkong had to give up after tossing the demon book for a long time, maybe Yang Wanjiang and Lin Xiaofeng were playing tricks on themselves at all, or Xu Xingkong's qualifications were too poor, anyway, no matter how Xu Xingkong tossed it, he didn't find the secret of cultivation from the demon book of the town demon.
So, Xu Xingkong had no choice but to shift his attention to those popular science knowledge books, Xu Xingkong swore that he had never been so serious as he is now, even if he had read game manuals and strategies in the past.
Just looking at these books, Xu Xingkong knew that his language was originally taught by the physical education teacher, and there were many words he didn't know, most of which were unheard of noun names, and most of the animals and plants involved Xu Xingkong had never even heard of, such as the "Genuine Classic of Mountains and Seas" opened in front of him, and Xu Xingkong had never heard of nine out of nine species.
Xu Xingkong can only sigh sadly one word by one, fortunately, now is the Internet era, there are naturally people to ask if the internal affairs are undecided, through the guΓ² search engine, the answer to the new words can be found in an instant, and even the source of these nouns can be found, Xu Xingkong was surprised to find that many of these new words and words are from the book "The Classic of Mountains and Seas".
But the strange thing is that the content of this genuine Book of Mountains and Seas and the Book of Mountains and Seas on the Internet is very far away, the Book of Mountains and Seas on the Internet is more like a dream, and the narrative is very simple, just like a dragonfly to stop at the same time, and the content of this genuine Book of Mountains and Seas in front of it is very informative, there is a detailed description of each species, from the origin to the characteristics, from the attributes to the use, all in total, the content is very rich.
What surprised Xu Xingkong even more was that the book itself was also very magical, if you roughly counted the number of words with the table of contents, this book must be more than a million words, but the strange thing is that this book is such a thin volume, but the pages seem to be never finished, and I don't know where the pages are hidden? Xu Xingkong can be sure that this book must also be a spiritual weapon, but this spiritual weapon is quite chicken, it can just make the thick book thinner, and I don't know who came up with it, how painful it is.
"Five hundred miles to the northeast, it is said that there is an ancient mountain, and there is winter grass on it"
"Let me take a look, it turns out that this word reads well, δΊΉ (door) winter, the Internet says that it is asparagus, which can be used medicinally, clear the lungs and suppress fire, nourish yin and moisten dryness, well, very ordinary Chinese herbal medicine. Here, hey, the winter grass, there is a moist like jade, as big as the middle finger, you can choose to use the medicine, which can moisturize the yin yuan, calm the heart fire, for the main medicine such as Yangyuan Dan, Qingxin drink, etc., people think it is rare. β
These herbs are nothing, the animals and strange things told about it are more interesting, interesting to make Xu Xingkong's hair stand on end, all the animals recorded in the genuine Book of Mountains and Seas are demons, many strange things are strange, all kinds of monsters have their own weird and terrifying abilities, some can make you lose your soul and die at a glance from a distance, some can make you lose your life by listening to the screams, and some can emit invisible and qualitative poisonous gases to smell and die, some can appear silently beside you, eat your brain as a snack, and some seem to be genius treasures, but as long as you touch it with your hand, then congratulations, you can be reincarnated
Xu Xingkong was dizzy and drenched in cold sweat, and finally closed the book that he had only read a small part of, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and muttered with a long sigh: "Our ancestors are really not simple, we have been fighting with these guys all day long, fortunately, most of them are extinct, otherwise"
That scene was so beautiful that Xu Xingkong didn't dare to think about it.
Although there was still some fear in his heart, Xu Xingkong also had a sense of pride in his heart, thinking of the countless predecessors who had fought hard and bloodily, he couldn't help but yearn for it, and he hated to be born 6,000 years early.
