Chapter 43: Half a Bamboo Slips

Jiang Hua frowned and glanced at An Shaowen, neither of them expected to meet Zhang Junyan here.

"Mr. Ji, Mr. Xiao'an, Jun Yan is polite!"

"It turned out to be Zhang Gongzi, what a coincidence!" An Shaowen didn't like this sissy very much, but after watching his battle with Jiang Hua that day, Zhang Junyan's frontal and tough fighting style made him feel that this person was still a little manly, so he responded politely.

Jiang Hua was anxious to enter the library, and said hello absentmindedly, "See you again, Gongzi Zhang." ”

Zhang Junyan smiled, pointed to the bookstore next to him and said, "Mr. Ji, are you looking for any books? ”

"I'm just idle and casually walking around, so I won't bother Zhang Gongzi. Jiang Hua politely refused.

"Well, that's fine, I won't bother Mr. Ji Yaxing in the future, but the meeting is fate, I don't know if Mr. Ji can come to Zhang's Mansion tonight to be a guest, so that I can thank Mr. Ji for the friendship of his subordinates. Zhang Junyan's tone was very sincere.

"This, there is no need, Zhang Gongzi's cultivation is profound, and I am just lucky to win, how can I say that my subordinates are merciful, I still have some private matters tonight, so I won't disturb the purity of your mansion." ”

Zhang Junyan didn't care when he heard this, and said with a faint smile, "I believe that Mr. Ji, you will come......!" Goodbye!" he left a meaningful chuckle and turned to leave.

"Let's go, Brother Hua, don't pay attention to him. An Shaowen saw that Jiang Hua was a little stunned, and stepped forward to pull it.

"Oh, good. Jiang Hua looked at Zhang Junyan's back thoughtfully, turned around and entered the library with An Shaowen, and Dongsheng stayed outside.

Jiang Hua couldn't help but be a little speechless when he looked at the books placed on the wooden shelves, which was completely different from the bookstore he imagined, he picked up a few books and flipped through them, all of them were miscellaneous books such as some wild history notes, and occasionally there was a book that seemed to be martial arts, and it was only a record of some unpopular martial arts moves when read in detail, which was not as practical as the moves he created.

Jiang Hua looked at An Shaowen with an inquiring gaze, An Shaowen noticed that Jiang Hua's gaze staring at him was a little abnormal, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, Brother Hua?"

"This is the bookstore where you said you can find martial arts?"

"Ahem, I just heard that someone has discovered martial arts here, so I want to take you here to try your luck......" An Shaowen's voice became lower and lower, he himself was embarrassed to continue, An Shaowen didn't expect that the collection of books in this library would be so pitiful.

"Forget it, let's go, it's not something that circulates at will, how can it be so easy to come across it!" Jiang Hua said in his mouth, but he was stunned in his heart.

Just as the two of them turned around and were about to leave the library, an old voice came from behind a row of wooden shelves, "Slow down!"

Jiang Hua and the others turned their heads to follow the voice, an old man with gray hair looked at the two with a smile, An Shaowen said, "I don't know what happened to the old man calling us?"

"This is Xiao An Gongzi, Lao Yu is the owner of this bookstore, I don't know what kind of classics Xiao An Gongzi is looking for? Lao Yu still has some books in the inner room, don't Xiao An Gongzi go in and take a look?" The old man said Xiao An Gongzi in his mouth, but his eyes kept looking at Jiang Hua.

"I'm afraid you don't have what we want here, Brother Hua, let's go!" An Shaowen had just made a decision in his heart, he didn't want to stay here any longer.

"Don't worry, then go in and have a look!" Jiang Hua stopped An Shaowen with his eyes, signaling that he wanted to take a look.

"Please, two distinguished guests!" Seeing that Jiang Hua agreed, the old man ignored An Shaowen's attitude and stretched out his hand to invite the two.

Following the old man around a few rows of wooden shelves, pushing open an inconspicuous wooden door on the wall, the three of them entered a small room, and the old man beckoned the two to look through them at will, and then left by himself to go to the outer room.

Jiang Hua almost saw at a glance that there was a roll of bamboo slips in the middle row of the only three rows of wooden shelves, since activating the Mu family inheritance, he was very sensitive to bamboo slips, but he had never seen other bamboo slips except for the Mu family bamboo slips, most of the books here were written on materials such as animal skins or silk cloth that had been cut by the researchers, and suddenly saw the bamboo slips, Jiang Hua couldn't help but feel very excited in his heart.

"Vitality armor", the four easy-to-understand words made Jiang Hua's heart beat almost to his throat.

"What a martial art!" Jiang Hua opened the bamboo slip almost tremblingly, and An Shaowen on the side also came up to watch curiously.

"Although the vitality of heaven and earth is intangible, it is qualitative, and it can be stimulated on the surface of the body to form a vitality armor by using a unique method, and those who have cultivated to the fullest can block those who are one level higher than their own realm with all their strength without injury, and the earth vitality of the five elements can be used alone. A simple introduction at the beginning almost made Jiang Hua jump up excitedly on the spot, and he impatiently continued to look down, this is simply a martial art tailored for himself!

"It's actually a defensive martial art, and it's so perverted, it can make the monk leapfrog against the enemy! This is simply a life-saving magic skill!" An Shaowen was also so shocked that he couldn't keep his mouth shut, who would have thought that he could encounter such a powerful martial art here. "Brother Hua, you're cool now!" An Shaowen said with jealousy in his tone, in fact, he was happy for Jiang Hua in his heart.

Jiang Hua didn't hear what An Shaowen was saying at all, all his mind was in the bamboo slip in his hand, the mysterious roadmap of the exercises made him want to stop, and the mantra that should have been obscure became magically easy to understand as soon as it entered his mind, as if there was an automatic translation machine in his head, Jiang Hua himself felt very puzzled, but he didn't care about thinking about it.

An Shaowen only read the introduction and was not interested in reading it anymore, because he couldn't use it, and he didn't bother Jiang Hua, so he wandered around idlely. When An Shaowen was really bored, he was about to take a look at Jiang Hua's situation, but found that Jiang Hua was holding the bamboo slip with both hands and spinning in place with an anxious face.

"Brother Hua, Brother Hua, what's wrong with you?" An Shaowen was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

"No, no, this is incomplete, why, why didn't you finish it!?" Jiang Hua kept muttering to himself.

"Brother Hua, calm down!" An Shaowen grabbed Jiang Hua's shoulder and shook it a few times.

Jiang Hua gradually became sober, and he was suddenly startled, he was almost stunned by the fascination. Jiang Hua hurriedly calmed down and made his mind completely clear.

"Shaowen, what about the old man?"

"In the outer room. ”

"Go, go to him, it's a fragment, and ask him why it's not complete. Jiang Hua said and walked out.

"Fragments, this ......" Before An Shaowen could finish speaking, the old man pushed open the door and walked in, looking at Jiang Hua with a smile.

"Uncle, this is ......" Jiang Hua's words were interrupted by the old man waving his hand.

"Don't ask me, I don't know anything, this bamboo slip was just delivered this morning, and the person who sent it only said that I must ask the first customer who enters the store today to see this thing, and the guest will buy it at a high price, and all the property will go to the library, and nothing else will be said. The old man paused for a moment as if he remembered something, and continued, "Oh, by the way, the man asked me to say, 'I believe you will come,' which is really inexplicable.

Jiang Hua and An Shaowen were stunned at the same time, the two glanced at each other, and said in unison, "It's him!"

"Little An Gongzi, look at this ......" The old man looked at An Shaowen with blank eyes, and his palms kept rubbing.

"Brother Hua, what should I do?" An Shaowen didn't know what to do for a while, so he had to ask Jiang Hua.

"You can help me advance some money first, buy it, and then I'll talk about it when I get back. Jiang Hua made a decision, but his package was placed at An Shaowen's residence, and he didn't get into the habit of going out with a lot of money.

An Shaowen did not hesitate to take out a handful of gold beads and handed them to the old man, and the old man smiled and thanked him repeatedly.

"Let's go, go back to the City Lord's Mansion. Jiang Hua didn't care about how much money An Shaowen gave, he just wanted to go back quickly and calm down and analyze that person's purpose.

In the west courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, Jiang Hua and An Shaowen sat quietly opposite each other, on the table in front of the two, the roll of bamboo slips was lying quietly on a piece of silk cloth, Jiang Hua stared at the bamboo slips and kept contemplating.

An Shaowen first broke the silence, "Brother Hua, what does that kid surnamed Zhang mean by this play? Why can't I understand it?"

Jiang Hua put away his thoughts and smiled, "I can probably guess his intentions." ”

"Oh, tell me quickly, let me hear what tricks this kid is playing!" An Shaowen said eagerly.

"Zhang Junyan, you should have seen through my identity!" Jiang Hua said in an affirmative tone.

"Ah!?how could it be?," An Shaowen said in surprise.

"You must have found it when you fought me!" Jiang Hua wasn't quite sure about this.

"Then why didn't he expose it on the spot, wasn't their purpose that day to confirm your identity?"

"You forgot, the city lord also saw through my identity, and he didn't say it!" Jiang Hua reminded.

"This ......" An Shaowen was speechless for a moment, and he also wanted to know his father's purpose.

"It is not difficult to guess from the play he arranged today, he should have asked me or wanted to win me over, if I was really from Jijiazhuang, he would never use martial arts to attract me, first, I may not like this martial arts, and second, this acting technique may anger me. Only when he is sure that I am a fake, and that such martial arts are in great need, will he use it as a bargaining chip to make a play to entice me to go to him. ”

"Maybe that kid deliberately designed to test you?" An Shaowen said his question.

"Maybe, what does he want from me?" Jiang Hua's mind was a little messed up again.

"Brother Hua, what are you going to do?" An Shaowen also ran out of ideas, and the final decision was still for Jiang Hua to make.

Jiang Hua thought for a long time before he said slowly, "Since he is so generous, then I'll go and see what he wants from me!"

A "Vitality Transformation Armor" made Jiang Hua's heart unable to calm down anymore, and that urgent mood had disturbed his mind.
