Seeing the two thieves fleeing in the wilderness, Fang Yu let out a deep sigh and wiped his sweat. Just now, pretending to be a ghost made him use all his skills, just to create those constantly changing footsteps, let him switch back and forth between several "small supernatural powers" one after another, which was not as easy as fighting with Wu Kun.

Fortunately, the result was not bad, especially in the end, the effect of dancing curtains to imitate the pulling of countless ghosts was so explosive, I was going to take advantage of the chaos to pull the bag over, but I didn't expect it to succeed in scaring the thief named Brother Xing and even took off his clothes.

Fang Yu laughed at himself, whether his hand would be called "undressing ghost hand" in ancient times. While thinking wildly, Fang Yu picked up the bag on the ground, unzipped it and rummaged through it to find the "wooden book" that the T-shirt just said.

The "wooden book" is easy to find, and most of the bags are small and delicate things that don't look too big, and there is only one slightly larger thing, which is the "wooden book".

Fang Yu looked at the thing in his hand with a smile, but he didn't expect that he had spent a lot of brain cells and effort to get such a thing.

What Fang Yu held in his hand was a stack of rectangular pieces of wood held in place by a metal bracket, and as long as the bracket was pulled, the pieces of wood could be unfolded and stretched into the appearance of a long mural. Fang Yu guessed that this thing should have been an ornament that Shen Jiading had hung on the wall.

The T-shirt was right to say it was a "book of wood", because the wood chips were engraved with ancient characters that I don't know the country. When the wood chips were close to smell, they could smell a faint woody fragrance, and there was an ancient and distant atmosphere in their hands, Fang Yu estimated that this might really be an old object that was some years old.

However, these wood chips are completely incomparable with wooden tablets, the quality of that wooden tablets is completely beyond Fang Yu's cognition, not only does it have an unusual weight, but Fang Yu has quietly pinched it hard, and it can't damage it at all, which is better than all the wood in the world.

Fang Yu sighed, it seemed that he was busy in vain today, just like those two thieves. He put the "wooden book" back in the bag, and put the bag back in its original place, disguised as if it had fallen naturally.

This is to prevent the two thieves from coming back and seeing that there is less and there is no suspicion, after all, ghosts can't take things, only people can. It doesn't matter if you have something you want, since you don't have it, Fang Yu still wants to cover up the fact that she has been here.

Fang Yu walked into the bathroom of the villa and took out the backpack hidden inside, although the biggest purpose was not achieved tonight, but it was barely a conversation to get a book that I didn't know what was hidden.

Fang Yu walked to the kitchen and was about to go out directly through the back door, when he suddenly thought of something, turned around and glanced at the small door in the corner of the kitchen. The door was now open, and the black hole was a little scary.

Fang Yu thought for a moment and turned around to pick up the flashlight that the T-shirt had dropped in the corridor, and when Brother Xing's one landed, it was broken by the porcelain piece that Fang Yu popped out.

Walking into the small room in the corner of the kitchen, Fang Yu closed the door with his backhand and turned on the flashlight, and what caught his eye was three rows of shelves more than two meters high, and there were many cabinets of different sizes on the shelves. Brother Xing didn't know what these cabinets were for, but Fang Yu recognized them at a glance

These small cabinets are fresh-keeping cabinets for storing precious ingredients, with the function of constant temperature, humidity and pressure, and can also release a special active particle to delay the oxidation and deterioration of food. There are sockets under each cabinet to connect to the power supply on the shelf.

Fang Yu approached a shelf, and suddenly his eyes froze. He saw that the side of the cabinet facing him was indeed printed with symbols and numbers as Brother Xing said, and the one in front of him was printed with B103.

Fang Yu's heart moved, and he searched inside along the shelf, and when he found the third row of shelves, Fang Yu saw a large pool of bloodstains, which was probably where Brother Xing was hiding before. It just so happened that on the shelf one floor below that large pool of blood stains was a small cabinet with the K234 number printed on it.

The string of numbers and symbols left by Shen Jiading is K234.214.

Fang Yu pressed the button to open the cabinet with the excitement in his heart, but the cabinet didn't react at all. Fang Yu then remembered that now the power supply in the villa had been cut off, and the cabinet naturally couldn't be opened.

Although he didn't know what was in the cabinet yet, there were so many coincidences in this world, Fang Yu believed that there would definitely be something in this cabinet that interested him.

Fang Yu turned on the switch that fixed the cabinet and wanted to remove the cabinet from the shelf, but after a thought in his heart, he changed his mind again. He closed the fixed switch, took some dust from the corner of the shelf and scattered it in the place he had touched, pretending that no one had touched it, and then exited the room.

Leaving Shen Jiading's villa, the sky has changed a little, and it is estimated that the sun will come out in a few hours. Fang Yu hurried away, and finally returned to the vicinity of Jinhe Road before the sky turned white. He put his bicycle at the bicycle parking spot in a nearby vegetable market and deliberately left without locking it.

Sneaking back to his small building quietly, Fang Yu was not in a hurry to see his harvest, he just sealed the book in a waterproof bag and hid it in a kimchi jar, and he went back to the room to lie down and rest, and when the time came, he got up as usual to guide Qian Duoduo and Qi Yi to practice in the morning.

Throughout the day, Fang Yu was doing his own things regularly as usual. When he went to the vegetable market to pick up ingredients, Fang Yu paid a little attention to it, and the bicycle he parked there had indeed been ridden away.

At the end of the day, everything was calm, and Fang Yu still rested as usual in the evening, and only got up at midnight to take out the book from the pickle jar, and turned the pages by the light of the flashlight.

The legendary book I saw in the Shudu Library before and after the Heavenly Master attained the Tao, and the stories in it are similar to the rumors in the market, nothing more than the Tai Preaching, the deep mountain cultivation, the ghosts and gods, the subjugation of the Demon King, the creation of the Taoist system, and so on. The story inside is full of the simple world view and rich imagination of the Chinese people, and it is worthy of being a "legendary" story.

However, the book that Fang Yu is holding in his hand now is very different, first of all, the style of writing is different, although the book in the collection of Shudu Library is said to have been written in the previous dynasty, but the text is completely imitating the legendary words of the Tang and Song dynasties, basically it is still classical Chinese, and he likes to use some gorgeous adjectives, mixed with various religious allusions.

The writing of the book in Fang Yu's hand is more like a modern vernacular, very plain and easy to understand, only saying that there are few metaphors about things, and it is a bit like the story of a Westerner being translated back by an Easterner.

The second difference between the two books is that the story takes place at a different time. If the story of "Heavenly Master Subjugating Demons" happened nearly 2,000 years ago, then the book in Fang Yu's hand tells the story of hundreds of years ago, and the time difference between the two is more than 1,000 years, but the images of evil ghosts in the two books are almost the same.

Another difference between the two books is the way the story is told. The legendary book in the Shudu Library has twists and turns in the plot, fascinating, and tells the ups and downs of the story of the Heavenly Master's subjugation of demons, which is wonderful and rich, and even the classical Chinese can make people fascinated.

But although the book in Fang Yu's hand is also a story about subduing evil ghosts, there are almost no urine spots, and the whole book can basically be summarized in three sentences:

The imperial court cut down mountains and destroyed temples to eliminate the cult, and as a result, a cultist took revenge on the society and released the evil ghosts of the ancients, causing evil everywhere. The court is not the opponent of the evil ghosts, and they have to force a group of righteous people with special skills to destroy the evil ghosts. The group of righteous people were first abused by the evil ghosts, and many of them died, and the rest took out some special utensils to defeat the evil ghosts.

The whole story is flat and straightforward, without any suspense settings and coincidences in the legendary book, only various plain descriptions. I feel that the storyteller has a completely unrelated attitude, that is, a simple ledger generally records how the cult was repaired by the imperial court, how the imperial court was repaired by evil ghosts, and how the righteous were repaired by the imperial court and then repaired the evil ghosts, and then the righteous people inexplicably broke out to repair the evil ghosts, and then... There is no then.

The story came to an abrupt end, not at all like a normal story and had to explain an ending, whether it was the court praising those righteous people, or those righteous people drifting away and leaving countless legends, all of which were not explained. It only ends when it comes to those righteous men defeating and suppressing evil spirits in the utensils.

Although this story is boring, Fang Yu saw a lot of things in it that made him think about it, and he was hoping to see the ending he guessed in the end, but the result is below... There is no more below.

Nima, Fang Yu couldn't help but curse, wishing the author to enter the palace as soon as possible to serve the emperor. But after thinking about it, if this book is really a painting made by the court painter, then the author may really serve the emperor.

Fang Yu pressed the strange thoughts circulating in his heart, opened the book again and quickly skimmed it, mainly to look at the illustrations and embroidered portraits inside.

The book itself is not very stylish, but the illustrations are really well ill. Whether it is the despair and resentment of the cultists when they are hunted down by the imperial court at the beginning of the story, or the brutality of the evil ghosts when they slaughter the imperial soldiers, they are very expressive, even Fang Yu, who does not know how to paint, can see the goodness in it.

But at the end of the story, the illustration is obviously different, the lines of the characters in it become stiff and rigid, like an apprentice copying a master's painting, although it is very careful, but the difference can be seen at a glance.

But the objects in this picture are painted very realistically, not to say how high the artistic realm is, and the painting methods used are different. Those utensils do not use the traditional painting method of simple line sketching before, but use sketches from the West in modern times, and skillfully use different lights and shadows to paint a photo-like effect.

This is nothing, the key is that among the dozens of artifacts painted by Lin Lin, there happens to be one that Fang Yu has seen.

It was a wine jug entwined with dragons, and Fang Yu had seen this thing twice. If Fang Yu remembers correctly, at the recent membership assessment of the Culinary Association, the jade pendant that the Wen family disciple with dark circles always wore around his neck looked like this.

Now Fang Yu feels that the biggest gain from his night visit to the murderous mansion is still this book.

Fang Yu suddenly remembered something, turned the book to the first page, and then looked at the last page, and couldn't help but let out a surprised "huh".

The book has no authorship and no marks for publication or printing. Know that even in ancient times, a publicly released book would have a similar marking. Fang Yu thought about it for a while, and there seemed to be one in the Shudu Library.

Fang Yu wondered if this meant that this book was not only from the Imperial Palace, but also a photocopy of the only book, and had not been circulated among the people at all.

But no matter what, this book at least made Fang Yu guess a little about some things, even if it may not be true and accurate, he finally has a direction, not as confused as before.

The next thing is to find a way to get a matching power supply connector, and then open the cabinet. The corresponding power supply device is sold by the Culinary Association, because this kind of cabinet is one of the patented products of the Culinary Association.

The Culinary Association's patented products have a unified feature, that is, all interface systems are self-contained, which is completely different from the folk ones. For example, Fang Yu's glasses-style personal terminal has a converter, which is specially used to connect to ordinary mains. However, that converter and this kind of fresh-keeping cabinet are not in the same series, and there is no way to use them together.

Fang Yu's small shop doesn't need the kind of special fresh-keeping cabinet used to keep rare ingredients fresh, and if Fang Yu suddenly buys a set of equipment that he can't use, it will inevitably make people suspicious.

Fortunately, the day before yesterday, the Culinary Association really officially notified Fang Yu to participate in the exchange activities with the Quancheng Culinary Association of Donglu Province a week later, just like Judge Zhong. In the name of researching new recipes, Fang Yu ordered a few rare ingredients that he didn't usually use, and bought some fresh-keeping equipment by the way, which was naturally mixed with a set of portable fresh-keeping cabinets.

These equipment were all produced at the headquarters, and there happened to be no stock locally, so Fang Yu could only endure it for a few days, waiting for the things to arrive before he could see what was in that box.

Next, Fang Yu was not idle, because the exchange activities with the Quancheng Cuisine Association were imminent, so the Cooking Association set the list of participating activities and organized the chefs to meet each other and arrange in advance.

Fang Yu came to the Cooking Association again the next day according to the notice of the association, and this time he happened to be the Bai Shishi he had seen when he participated in the assessment last time.

It is estimated that it was because she knew that Fang Yu was already quite famous in the local association, so Bai Shishi was more attentive this time, and brought Fang Yu to the gathering venue and found that the other members had not yet arrived, so she immediately took a copy of the association's internal journal to Fang Yu to relieve her boredom.

After Fang Yu joined the association, he has been busy with entrusted tasks and getting to know the members of the association, but he has paid little attention to some affairs of the association itself, and even forgot to subscribe to a copy of the association's internal journal. I happened to be early today, so I picked up the internal magazine and took a good look at what had happened to the association recently.

On the cover of the association's internal magazine is a large photograph of the star of the month, a beautiful chef wearing a fashion guild uniform with a changed collar and waist slit, holding a spatula in one hand and a sharp kitchen knife in the other. This pose perfectly shows off her convex and backward "S" shaped line, purple eyeshadow, haughty eyes, and slightly upturned jaw to create a wild charm.

Fang Yu stared at the cover for a while, and determined that the kitchen knife in the hand of this beautiful chef was the "Muramasa" he had used in the membership assessment. He guessed that this cover beauty should be the No. 3 examiner who admired him that day.

"Little brother, are you also fascinated? She has vision, but it's dangerous to pursue her. ”

An unfamiliar voice sounded behind Fang Yu.
