When is the time for retribution?
Shu Shan opened the door of the study for the two of them, and there was a fresh smell of sandalwood from the shop, and he followed the two into the study, took off the pure white coat on his body, and casually placed it on the soft couch beside him.
This is the first time that the mandarin duck has walked into this place except for the refining room, the study room is very large, and the amount of books that can be seen with the naked eye is enough to amaze her.
"Forgive...... Master Forgiveness, can I take a look at this? When the mandarin duck saw the words on the book clearly, his eyes were completely unable to take off the book, isn't this just in the vast Central Plains, can't find a volume of rare literature? I searched for a long time, and I sent people to find a lot of places, but I couldn't find it, but I didn't expect to be able to see it in someone else's study by such a coincidence.
"Naturally, you can flip through the books here at will."
"Thank you, Master."
After receiving the answer, the mandarin duck couldn't wait to take the book from the bookcase, she carefully held the book in her hand, and gently turned the pages of the book as if it were a treasure, even if it was just an old book that was about to be scattered all over the place.
And Shu Shan beckoned Chu Huai to sit down, and soon someone brought them hot tea, Shu Shan poured a cup of tea and put it in front of Chu Huai.
Chu Huai shook the tea lid gently, took a sip of the tea, and the flavor exploded in his teeth and tongue in an instant.
"Good tea."
"It's made from our unique tea leaves, and we've always wanted you to try it. Speaking of which, Xiao Sheng was still worried about whether you would be used to drinking, but now it seems that Chu Gu Master likes it. ”
"This kind of fragrant tea is something I have never tasted when I was in Loulan or in the Central Plains. Just one bite is enough to make people want to forget. ”
Shu Shan's face showed a knowing smile, and he also raised the teacup with Chu Huai, "That's the best." ”
"But Master Shu, when do you plan to teach the Seven Lives Gu to Mandarin Ducks?" After a few teas, Chu Huai put down the teacup in his hand and looked at the mandarin duck who was still sitting at the desk and reading the ancient books carefully, it was so quiet and beautiful. It's also hard to take your eyes off it.
"Then it still depends on when the mandarin duck girl wants to learn."
Shu Shan opened the wooden box on the table, gently took out the jar in the box, and placed it in front of Chu Huai.
"This is the Seven Lives Gu?"
"Well, it's in this jar."
"Mandarin duck is really true, obviously she is the one who wants Qisheng Gu the most, but now she is the one who is so addicted to books here that she can't walk." Chu Huai looked at the mandarin duck with a smile, but she didn't notice the sight of the two at all.
"Now that the sacrificial ceremony is over, and the Seven Life Gu has been refined, you are not in a hurry at this time, so you can go with the Mandarin Duck girl."
"Also, what the hell am I worried about for her?" Chu Huai raised the teacup again and looked at Shu Shan, "Come!" Master Forgiveness, let's continue to drink tea! The tea is cold, but it doesn't taste good. ”
Just when Chu Huai and Shu Shan were still talking loudly, the mandarin duck here was immersed in this ancient book, and forgot himself for a while, thinking that he was in the study of the general's mansion, he actually picked up the pen on the desk, dipped it in ink, and wrote notes on the book.
It wasn't until she turned a few pages and turned her head to look at the sky outside the window, when it was no longer so bright, that she realized that she was not in the General's Mansion now, and the book in her hand that was written in a mess was not taken down from her own bookshelf.
If it weren't for the different scenery outside the window, Mandarin Duck would have completely regarded this place as the study where he had stayed for so long.
"Suffered!" The mandarin duck looked at the ink on the book that had not yet dried, and didn't know what to do.
"What's wrong? Mandarin duck? After Chu Huai heard her exclamation, he instantly ended the conversation with Shu Shan and walked to the mandarin duck's side.
"Master, I accidentally wrote a note on this precious ancient book, this is Master Shu's book! What am I going to do? ”
"It's okay, Miss Mandarin Duck doesn't have to blame herself, if the girl likes this book, I'll give it to you." Shu Shan also stood up and walked over.
"This ...... What's so embarrassing about that? ”
"The Mandarin Duck girl just accepts it, the book is given to the destined person, Xiaosheng thinks, girl, you love books so much, you are the destined person of this book, plus, Xiaosheng has read this book before, but it's a pity, Xiaosheng at that time, I don't know what this book says, and I don't particularly understand it until now, this book has been idle here, if the girl doesn't accept it, this book will lose its value here in Xiaosheng."
The mandarin duck took the book into his arms, opened his eyes wide, and looked at Shu Shan, "Really...... May I? ”
"It's nature."
"Then the mandarin duck will thank Master Shu." The mandarin duck hurriedly stood up from his seat and saluted non-stop to Shushan.
"By the way, there's this one." Shu Shan, turning to look at something on the shelf, his eyes glancing at the corners of the shelf, carefully reading the title of each book, and the style of each book, finally he landed on the left corner of the highest shelf.
There was a book that was not very conspicuous at first glance, and it looked tattered, and even if it was thrown on the street, it might not be picked up.
Shu Shan reached out and took the book down, the dark purple cover had been torn by him, and he couldn't see what was written on it.
"What kind of book is this?" Mandarin Duck took the book curiously and flipped through it casually, but found that it was full of words she didn't recognize, and just looking at it like this, she couldn't tell what the book was used for.
"This whole book is written about the production method of the Seven Life Gu and how to make the mother Gu and the child Gu resonate."
"Yes...... I don't seem to understand the words written on it. ”
"This is the unique text of our Yushen Village, and it is normal for the Mandarin Duck girl not to understand it, and then Xiaosheng will translate it with you in the Central Plains dialect that you can understand."
"Then there's Master Laoshu." The mandarin duck wanted to return the dark purple book to Shu Shan, but who knows, it was pushed into her arms by Shu Shan.
"Mandarin duck girl, you can take this book first."
"Good...... It's just that...... There's a question I don't know if to ask. ”
"You ask."
"Master Forgiveness, you...... When will I be taught how to control the Seven Lives Gu? ”
"This one......" Shu Shan smiled a little more heartily, "Originally, when I first entered the study, Xiao Sheng wanted to take you to the basement to plant the Seven Life Gu, but who would have expected, girl, you actually fell in love with the book in Xiao Sheng's bookcase, so you sat down and read the book, Xiao Sheng and Chu Gu Master didn't want to disturb you, just waiting for you on the side." ”
The mandarin duck was a little embarrassed to be said, and his face instantly turned red: "The original ...... I see, I made you wait for a long time, because I was too obsessed with reading. ”
"It's okay, if the girl wants to go now, then Xiaosheng will lead the way for you."
"Okay, excuse me, I think we'll go now."
