Chapter 5

Early the next morning, when Gu Yan was still asleep, he heard a beautiful female voice calling his name: "Gu Yan, Gu Yan, Xiao Yan'er?" Wake up, the sun is on your buttocks, and you're going to class from today. Awake? Xiao Yan'er? ”

Wait, this voice is so familiar, think about it......

"Teng" Gu Yan sat up from the bed.

"Master, Master!"

Yes, that nice, gentle female voice is his master. Chen Tong was now sitting in front of his bed and looking at him with a smile, Gu Yan, very panicked.

"Master, you, how did you get in?"

"Hey, that's how I came in through the door."

Gu Yan rubbed his still dazed head and continued to ask: "Forget it, it's not this question." Master, why are you coming into my room? ”

Hearing this, Chen Tong raised his good-looking eyebrows, put an index finger to Zhu's lips, and thought, "Hmm... How can I say this, in fact, Xiao Yan'er, the house you live in now is for the teacher. It's just that because I'm often away from home, and because the girl who kisses me doesn't want to build a new house for fear of trouble, I have been arranging for you to live here. ”

Gu Yan was frightened: "That is to say, ......"

Chen Tong smiled: "That's right, I slept with Xiao Yan'er last night, Xiao Yan'er is so cute when she falls asleep, well, it's also very comfortable to hold." ”

As the old saying goes, there is no love on his face, it's over, his innocence is not guaranteed...

"Senior brother, are you up? Uncle Cang's side is ready, if you don't go... Master?! ”

Hook Kiss looked at Chen Tong and Gu Yan in surprise, Gu Yan, who was originally loveless, suddenly became energetic when he saw Hook Kiss, and he kept giving Hook Kiss a look in the hope of saving himself.

Ran Goose, hook kiss decisively ignored the old saying of squeezing her eyebrows, smiled awkwardly and ran out, just kidding, she didn't want to die.

After a long time, Gu Yan walked out of the house, and Chen Tong had long since disappeared, so Hook Kiss stepped forward to help him straighten his collar and walked to the backyard together.

The backyard can be described as a forbidden place in the hall, because you don't know what will see what centipedes and toads come out of there, and from time to time you can hear some heart-rending screams coming from inside, no, just walked to the door and saw a palm-sized scorpion sleeping by the wall.

Hook Kiss stood behind Gu Yan quietly, Gu Yan sighed helplessly, stepped forward and nodded the head of the scorpion and said, "Da Hei, it's early, where is Uncle Cang?" ”

Yes, this scorpion has a name, not only a name but also a little intelligence, and is the "gatekeeper" of the backyard, responsible for solving those things that sneak out of the courtyard.

The scorpion big black shook its thick and terrifying tail hook and quickly crawled towards the courtyard, and after a while, a white-haired young man came out with a kind smile.

This is Atractylodes, one of the people who have been in the hall for the longest time, it is said that it was just an unknown physician who happened to be "picked up" by Chen Tong, but since Gu Yan accidentally saw him corrode an entire pond with a small bottle of black potion, he no longer believes this theory.

Cangzhu smiled at the hook kiss first and then said: "Xiao Yan'er is here, you will come here every morning in the future to learn pharmacology knowledge from me." ”

Gu Yan nodded: "Okay Uncle Cang." ”

After a little chat, Gu Yan said goodbye to the hook kiss and followed Atractylodes towards the courtyard, and as he walked, he saw Atractylodes suddenly stop and pointed to a strange plant on the side of the road with straight and slender rhizomes, no leaves and only a yellow flower on the top, and asked Gu Yan: "Xiao Yan'er, do you know what this is?" ”

The ancient saying said: "It's Zhu Qi." ”

"Well, it's a very common herb, so do you know its effectiveness?"

Gu Yan thought for a moment and then said: "Zhu Qi, a five-year-old medicinal material, the whole body is straight and leafless, and the yellow flowers on it have the effect of healing, relieving pain and reducing swelling. ”

Cangshu touched Gu Yan's head with satisfaction, and took Zhu Qihua off casually and said: "What you said is right, Zhu Qi is indeed a very good healing herb, but you must know that everything has two sides, and things must be opposed, and this little Zhu Qi can also become a good medicine for killing people and destroying the enemy with a little deployment." ”

With that, he plucked a small red fruit from the bushes on the other side of the road.

"You see, this is the fruit of the purple irrigation, and it has no medicinal effect, but if you mix its juice with Zhu Qi..."

Atractylodes gently pinched the fruit with its white and slender fingers, so that its juice fell on Zhu Qihua, and saw that the original yellow flower quickly turned black.

"It became a deadly poison. Xiaoyan'er, do you understand? ”

Gu Yan nodded vigorously: "Understood." ”

"You can teach..."

After being instilled with basic pharmacological knowledge by Atractylodes for a morning, Gu Yan walked out of the backyard exhausted, sat on the ground, and looked at the sky in a daze.

"Oh, who's this poor little bit?"

Gu Yan looked sideways at his hook kiss with a smile behind his back and grinned, he flattened his mouth and snorted softly: "Stinky kiss." ”

At this moment, a small white hand handed him a wooden cup.

"Well, the sour plum juice that was just taken out of the ice cellar, I remember your favorite drink."

Gu Yan took the wooden cup and took a sip and said softly: "Thank you." ”

After lunch, Hook Kiss took Gu Yan to the workshop in the church, where he would learn how to forge and recognize weapons.

Lao Hu, the blacksmith in the hall, is a strange person, no one knows what his name is, so they call him Lao Hu, and the younger ones are called "Uncle Hu" and "Uncle Hu". Lao Hu's craftsmanship is first-class, whether it is a sword, a gun, a halberd or a secret weapon, he can give you a beat, but he loves to fight, the best is the handleless short blade, according to what he said, the handleless blade, one blow will kill, no second-hand.

I also like to stay in the workshop is the "Bai Xiaosheng" Du Ruo Du Ye in the hall, I heard that he was originally a famous nobleman, but he didn't know what he committed and was raided, leaving only a little private property to die in the world, so he saw a lot of things along the way.

And Lao Du happened to get acquainted with Juan Dan when he was wandering the rivers and lakes, Juan Dan was originally a disciple of the famous demon sect "Ten Thousand Crane Sect" on the rivers and lakes, plus his natural divine power was very prestigious in the sect, but an accident caused him to lose part of his memory and became very timid and afraid, and now he is responsible for some sweeping the floor, cooking, and guarding the door in the hall.

"Bell! Clang! Clang! ”

Far away, you can hear the sound of Lao Hu striking iron, and the closer you go, the louder the sound becomes.

When you come to the workshop, the first thing that catches your eye is a well-equipped blacksmith workshop and Lao Hu, who is shirtless and holding a small hammer to beat the iron. Don't knock this small hammer, this is Lao Hu's "treasure", it is said to be forged from foreign divine iron, although it is not big, but it is very strong and heavy.

Du Lao, who was drawing a map on the side, was the first to discover the two Gu Yan, and he grinned and showed a mouth full of gold teeth and smiled at Gu Yan and them: "Xiao Yan'er is here, wait for your Uncle Hu to finish fighting this sword and then teach you skills." Come, come and rest first. ”

Gu Yan and Hook Kiss walked over but found that there was a strange map on the table in front of Du Lao, and the weapon on it seemed to be a fan, but there were many blades inlaid on it, Gu Yan couldn't help but ask strangely: "Grandpa Du, what kind of weapon is this, why have I never seen it in the book?" ”

Du Lao rubbed his gray beard with his thin fingers and laughed: "Hey, hey, you don't know Xiao Yan'er." This is a strange weapon I saw in the ancient tomb of Dali, it is said that it was lost by the Tang Gate thousands of years ago, and the power is amazing. Thanks to the old man's memory, he still remembered after the drawings were burned by the air, although some forging steps were missing, but your Uncle Hu should be able to make up for it. ”

He winked at Gu Yan again and smiled: "As for the function of this weapon and what it is used for, hehehe, old man Rong will sell it with you first." Your Uncle Hu is done, go ahead. ”

I saw Lao Hu put the burned red sword body into the bucket, and a burst of smoke rose immediately, and when he took it out again, it was a sharp blade mixed with cold light. Lao Hu nodded with satisfaction, put the blade aside, laughed, and pulled Gu Yan over.

"Hahahaha, Brother Yan, you came just in time, come on, come on, look at the sword I just hit."

Gu Yan held back the huge force on his wrist and looked back at Hook Kiss in despair, but saw that she was covering her mouth and waving goodbye to him with a smile?!

In this way, the following days of the old saying were abundant and "interesting". In the morning, he will learn pharmacological knowledge with Atractylodes or poetry, danqing and chess with Du Lao, and in the afternoon, he will learn forging and weapon theory with Lao Hu, and in the evening, he will learn music theory with Hook Kiss and learn the martial arts of self-defense with Bai Qian.

The only thing that reassures him may be that the master who likes to be funny has disappeared again, and he has not even come back on the day of departure.
