Chapter 35: The Unknown Task
"Ahh Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
When Murong Yu woke him up from his nightmare last night, it was only the middle of the night, and then Murong Yu read the book for a while before falling asleep, but he couldn't sleep at all, in order not to affect Murong Yu, he ran outside the house with the book in his arms, and read the book by the candlelight in the corridor.
Since learning about the lofty profession of Onmyoji, Yan Nai found that he still had a lot of things that needed to be made up, and he couldn't do it if he didn't make up for it, if he wanted to survive here as an Onmyoji, he had to get all his skills, or he would really be a waste.
"If I had worked so hard in the college entrance examination, I would definitely have been admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University!" Yan Nai sat in the corridor and said with a wry smile, yes, I think that the night before the college entrance examination, I was still in the Internet café......
In the quiet of the night, a teenager sat in the hallway, looking intently at the scroll in his hand by candlelight, gesturing with something in his hand from time to time, and practicing various basic incantations in a whisper, and this continued until the sky gradually opened......
"Ahh
"I'm out, you better go back to your room and rest." Murong Yu walked up to Yan Nai with a commission, he found out that Yan Nai was not in the room this morning, and he was still wondering where he had gone so early, but as soon as he opened the door, he found Yan Nai holding a scroll in his hand, leaning against the pillar of the corridor and falling asleep.
"Ahh Yan Nai yawned again and looked at Murong Yu blankly, Murong Yu nodded and left the hall.
"Yan Nai." As soon as Murong Yu left, Bai walked in from outside and walked straight towards Yan Nai, "Bai Lao is looking for you." ”
"Huh? White...... What's the matter with me? Originally, he wanted to ask if something had happened to Bai Hu, but he immediately found that he almost missed his mouth, and after an extremely long transliteration, he swallowed the word "tiger" back and replaced it with Bai Lao.
"It seems to be the person you brought back, I don't know the specifics, he only asked me to call you over." Shiro shrugged his shoulders and replied with a "I don't know anything" expression.
Yan Nai hurriedly left the hall after a sigh, Bai frowned at the back of him leaving, and only took his eyes back after a few seconds.
As soon as Yan Nai stepped into the ancient tower, he saw Bai Hu standing beside Bai Lao, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with his appearance, "Bai Lao, are you looking for me?" He walked straight up to Bai Lao and asked politely.
"Well, there's something you need to check with the white tiger." Bai Lao nodded lightly and said slowly.
"What's the matter?" Yan Nai asked curiously, it was hard for him to imagine that there was something about an onmyoji of Bai Lao's level that he needed to investigate?
"About the owner of the White Tiger." Bai Lao said briefly, and Yan Nai was also stunned for a moment, it seems that this matter can't be his turn, right? How much can I help if my own ability is weak?
"Uh...... Bai Lao, it's not that I excuse myself, it's that I'm still just a beginner-level onmyoji, and even the weakest beginner-level onmyoji in Xiao, I'm still making up for the basic arts, if I act with the white tiger, I'm afraid I'll drag him back......" Yan Nai said with an embarrassed face, he still knew how many catties and taels he had, how could a powerful god like the white tiger need his own help.
"I know, but White Tiger can't complete the investigation alone, and needs the help of an Onmyoji, and White Tiger and I both hope that this Onmyoji is you, of course, Suzaku is your Shikin is also one of the reasons." Bai Lao said lightly, and at this time, Yan Nai suddenly realized, it turned out that it was because of Suzaku!
"Uh...... I understand, then I'll go with the White Tiger. After realizing that it was because of Suzaku, Yan Nai immediately agreed.
"When you and the White Tiger come back, I will personally teach you some Yin and Yang techniques." Bai Lao nodded and said, but this sentence made Yan Nai not come back to his senses for a long time, he even thought he was dreaming!
"What does Bai Lao mean is that you want to accept me as an apprentice?!" He asked in surprise, his face was full of excitement, the reason why Yan Nai was so excited was that Bai Lao, as Xiao's high-level onmyoji, was on an equal footing with Huangfu Yao in terms of status and strength, but he had never accepted any apprentices, and even his grandson, Bai, had not received much guidance from him.
Although there are countless people who want to worship him as a teacher, they are all rejected by Bai Laoyi one by one, and the reason he gives is very simple - the old man is very busy, and he doesn't have so much time to bring a bunch of fools!
Now this white old man actually said that he wanted to teach himself the art of yin and yang! This is called how Yan Nai is not excited! Isn't it possible for him to become Bai Lao's first apprentice?!
"The old man never accepts apprentices." Bai Lao said lightly, "However, you can call me master in the Astronomical Dao, and you are not allowed to call me master again after leaving here, because I will not admit that there is an apprentice like you, understand?" ”
These words sounded a bit clueless, but Yan Nai agreed without hesitation, because he knew that Bai Lao had acquiesced in their master-apprentice relationship! Hey! Bai Lao turned out to be a tsundere!
"Alright, you two go back quickly, I hope to see the results of the investigation soon." Bai Lao waved his hand, Yan Nai took the white tiger to open the ancient tower, looking at the back of Yan Nai leaving, Bai Lao sighed lightly, "I hope the old man's divination is not wrong." ”
"The host has taken over the 'Once Upon a Time with the White Tiger' quest, this quest needs to be completed with the White Tiger, and the quest reward will be automatically sent to the host's backpack after the quest is completed." The familiar voice of the system sounded again, and after not hearing the sound of the system for a long time, Yan Nai was still a little nostalgic.
After leaving Xiao, he inquired about Bai Hu's physical condition, as he expected, Bai Hu's body had almost recovered, and there was no trace of demonic energy on his body, it seemed that the miasma had been cleaned up by Bai Lao and Huang Fuyao.
"How much do you remember about your master?" Yan Nai looked at the white tiger beside him and asked seriously.
"Very little, I only know that he is a very powerful high-level onmyoji, and recently I have always dreamed of some fragments in my dreams, but I can't see his appearance clearly." The white tiger replied in a low voice, and when it came to his master, his face was always cloudy.
"Do you remember whether it's a man or a woman?" Yan Nai asked helplessly, such clues are really difficult to investigate!
Baihu shook his head, "I can't remember, his figure is always blurry in my dreams, and I never even see his clothes clearly." ”
"So, where do we start investigating?" Yan Nai asked a little confused, this simply doesn't give people any clues! Check the eggs! The system doesn't even give a backstory, it looks more like a chain of quests after triggering the hidden quest that took the white tiger out of the bamboo forest.
"I remember a place outside of the Netherworld, where we might find some clues." After pondering for a while, the white tiger said slowly, it was this sentence that rekindled Yan Nai's hope of finding the truth, "Go!" So the two of them quickened their pace and left the Yin Capital.
