Li Cao's strength is low, compared with Zhao Ting, there is really a big difference, and he thinks that he can be the icing on the cake, and he doesn't expect to send charcoal in the snow. However, it is not easy to add the icing on the cake, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, Li Cao knew that this was not a matter of saving, so she took out the green leaf paper, the jade rabbit bamboo pen and the Yuling graphite, and began to draw a large number of array paper.

The moontop treetops, the lights are swaying, and Li Cao is writing hard. The moon is hidden, the sky is white, and Li Cao puts down his pen. After all, the hard work of some time ago was not in vain, and a total of forty-three pieces of array paper were completed overnight, and of course it still needs to be verified to know how many can be stimulated.

Although Li Cao didn't sleep all night, he was still in good spirits and not sleepy at all. Stood up, stretched, and moved his muscles. Then he fetched water and washed, and he didn't hear Zhenlin and the others getting up, so he lightened his movements, and after cleaning up, he went out to eat. After eating, rush to the white rock field to verify the array paper.

Verification of the array paper is a meticulous work, which can be said to be almost a cent, so Li Cao entered the stone house of Baiyanchang, and did not start immediately, but meditated and concentrated, sitting and forgetting to settle down, so that his mind was free of distractions, and he could better control the operation of his own aura. It's also because he is not skilled, otherwise he wouldn't have to be so solemn.

After about two quarters of an hour, Li Cao began to take out the array paper for verification, and the first thing he took out was the talisman formation, called 'Golden Bell', which gathered the spiritual energy of the earth around his body, like a big bell to resist the enemy's attacks. This formation was the first to be mastered by Li Cao, and he was the most confident.

took out a piece of golden bell array paper, ran the exercises, carefully exported a little aura, and circulated along the handwriting of the formation, and there was a green fluorescence where the aura passed. From beginning to end, there is not a single pause, proving that this array paper can be excited. The remaining nine sheets were verified as concocted, and all of them can be used.

Seeing this, Li Cao's face was overjoyed, and he felt that he was not bad, and he couldn't help but feel proud. Then he took out the attack formation, called 'Thunder Fall', continued to verify, urged the aura, and suddenly a dazzling light appeared in the air, and a thunderbolt fell.

In fact, at the moment when the aura was exported, Li Cao knew that something was wrong, so he was not frightened, but because of his unstable mentality, which led to a waste of array paper, he couldn't help but scold himself a few words.

After calming down, I continued to take out the array paper for verification, and the result was not bad, a total of forty-three array papers, and thirty-four of them could be used after verification. Three of them were unsuccessful in drawing, and the remaining six were directly stimulated because the aura was not well controlled.

Li Cao put away the paper and introspected: "I still need to work hard." ”

In the evening, Li Cao came to Zhao Hong's courtyard, and it would take several months to follow Zhao Ting out this time, of course, to say hello to his teacher.

The door was padlocked, the teacher went out and did not return, and Li Cao could only stand at the door and wait. Fortunately, with good luck, in less than a stick of incense, Zhao Hong came back, carrying the wine jar in one hand and three bags of things in the other, and saw Li Cao standing at the door, and said in surprise: "Li Cao, you came to me, is there something?"

Li Cao replied: "Yes, teacher, I ......"

"I'll talk about it later, have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, drink two drinks with me. Zhao Hong smiled, "Alas, don't stand stupidly, open the door, and don't lock it." ”

"Huh?" Li Cao saw the lock, so he didn't look closely, it turned out that it was not locked, opened the door, and followed the teacher into the courtyard.

Seeing the teacher smiling and holding the wine, something good must have happened, and he asked curiously, "What good things happened to the teacher, can you tell the students?"

Zhao Hong sat directly on the stone bench in the courtyard, "Sit, have you eaten?"

"I've eaten it, but since the teacher has something delicious, then I still have to eat some more. Li Caozui said greedily.

"I'm telling you, it's not a good thing, it's not a good wine. Zhao Hong said, put down the wine jar, and then opened three oil paper packets, which are fried peanuts, sauced beef and cut roast chicken, although it is already an excellent dish in ordinary people's homes, but for Zhao Hong's current identity, it is very ordinary.

Of course, from the perspective of Li Cao, a person who has lived a hard life since childhood, it is enough to satisfy the appetite. He guessed in his heart that maybe Mr. Zhao Hong's life was not satisfactory before, and even the same as himself. He said, "These things are very good, my gluttony has been hooked out." ”

Zhao Hong picked up a piece of sauced beef and stuffed it into his mouth, looked down, and found that he had forgotten to take the wine bowl, and he was going to drink it directly from the wine jar, "Wait for me." ”

Then he ran into the room and came out with two wine bowls.

Li Cao picked up the jar and poured wine for the two of them.

Zhao Hong couldn't wait to drink it all, then grabbed a handful of peanuts and put them in his mouth, looked satisfied, and said with emotion: "When I was a child, my life was too hard, and I thought about when I could eat meat all day long." I was also envious when I saw others drinking. Even though I have eaten a lot of rare food, I still can't forget the feeling of drinking and eating meat for the first time, even if the wine is just roasted and the meat is leftover. Now that I'm happy, I like to reminisce about it, and I still think it's delicious in the world. ”

After Li Cao poured him another bowl, he still drank it all, and then grabbed the chicken and ate it.

"Teacher, you'd better drink slowly, be careful of getting drunk. Li Cao worried.

"Don't worry, this wine is nothing, come and do it. Zhao Hong said and drank another glass.

Li Cao could only accompany him to drink a bowl.

"Eat. Zhao Hong invited.

Li Cao, like the teacher, grabbed the beef and ate it.

"You just asked me why I'm happy?"

"If it's inconvenient to say it, forget it. Li Cao said intimately.

"Is there anything we can't say between our master and apprentice, do you remember the first time you came to this small courtyard?" Zhao Hong asked with a smile.

Li Cao thought about it, it should have been five years ago, when he had just entered the academy, and the first time he came to the small courtyard, it was the teacher who wanted to help test his exercises, and the small courtyard was in a mess, and he was puzzled and said: "Remember, the teacher said that it was because there was something wrong with the newly developed formation." ”

Zhao Hong had food in his mouth, and said in a vague voice: "You have a good memory, at that time it was the first time I drew a new formation diagram, but unfortunately the idea was wrong and it didn't work." ”

"It's not easy now, congratulations to the teacher. Li Cao said happily.

"Haha, I succeeded, this time I was lucky, it only took less than fifteen years to develop a new formation. Zhao Hongmei smiled, "Come, float a big white." ”

Li Cao hurriedly picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

"Well, by the way, you can't have come to congratulate me today, and you can't know about it. Is there anything you want me to help with?" Zhao Hong asked.

Li Cao said truthfully: "Teacher, I'm here to ask you for leave, I want to go out with a friend, it may take a few months to come back, by the way, ask some questions." ”
