"Is this map real?"

Zhou Nian looked more closely, the first emotion generated by the always cautious personality was not excitement, but doubtfulness about the appearance of the treasure map.

Wang Gebi patted his chest, his eyes narrowed and he grinned, "Haha, how can it be fake? Don't hide it from the master, in fact, this picture was drawn by me myself, and I know every inch of it well, so naturally I can't be wrong." ”

"You painted it yourself?" Zhou Nian was surprised, "You mean, the other group of craftsmen who built the Linglong Octagonal Pavilion back then was ......"

"Hehe, contemptible and talented, it's down there. Hugging his fists, Wang Gebi said seriously, "The construction of the mechanism for the Linglong Octagonal Pavilion was secretly arranged by Lord Blood Cicada, and after it was completed, the original design of the original mechanism had already been destroyed, this is a rubbing, but the content is exactly the same as the original drawing, I secretly drew it from memory, thinking that it might be of great use in the future, so I ...... it."

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, his eyes peeked at Zhou Nian, the little joy and smugness on his face seemed to be revealed, and he looked arrogant when he showed it, and it was too humble not to show it, thanks to that old face who was very good at acting, just between showing and not showing, the expression could only be described in one word - just right.

Zhou Nian pinched his chin and looked back at him, "Oh, I can't see it, I can't imagine that the old gentleman is still a good hand at understanding mechanisms, hehe......"

Wang Gebi waved his hand and said, "Hey, the master has praised it falsely, it's a trivial matter, why worry about it, I'm a relatively low-key person, but I won't get carried away with a little honor like my brother, and the clouds and mountains will blow in the fog for a lifetime, if it weren't for my sister-in-law, I would never leak this matter, now that the master knows my relationship with her, then look at this picture...... Is it enough?"

"Well...... this" Zhou Nian hesitated slightly, then nodded slowly, "Reluctantly, for the sake of your infatuation, I will sell you a face." ”

"Oh, so master, did you agree?" Wang Ge said excitedly.

Zhou Nian unceremoniously put away the picture, "As soon as the word is spoken, it is difficult for the horse to chase, when will you take me to meet your sister-in-law, so that I can show her?"

"This is not in a hurry," Wang Gebi waved his hand, he was also a cautious lord, knowing that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, as long as Zhou Nian could agree, he would naturally not be in a hurry, "When I have time to secretly bring her out, there are many people now, and it is not very convenient." ”

"Oh, are you still afraid of ......?"

"Master, don't get me wrong, as the so-called people live with a face, trees live with a skin, crush people to death under the root of the tongue, and if you can say something, you won't listen, and you can't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River, so you can't be in a hurry. ”

Wang Ge will touch his old face, and he will explain the truth one by one, obviously he doesn't have any ethics, and he has to make a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance.

But since he is not in a hurry, Zhou Nian is even less anxious, the map he wants is now in hand, and the implementation of his future plan has taken a big step forward!

"Okay, if you're not in a hurry, I'm even less in a hurry. Zhou Nian's tone was flat, and his face was neither happy nor sad.

Wang Gebi clenched his fists and thanked, "Thank you for your understanding." ”

"Hehe, that's easy to say. ”

......

The conditions were agreed, the two sat down and drank tea for a while, Wang Ge must see that the time is not early, and if he delays any longer, he is afraid that people will be suspicious, so he simply said goodbye to Zhou Nian, left the door, and walked into the courtyard to call Wang Huozi in again.

This uncle and nephew are like shifts, going here and that, and not letting Zhou Nian stop for a moment.

"Hehe, Master, are you two done talking?"

As soon as he entered the room, Wang Huozi immediately sat next to Zhou Nian.

Zhou Nian picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, and said in a faint voice, "The conversation is over." ”

"Oh, since the two of you have finished talking, then you see the two of us......"

"The two of us?" Zhou Nian put down the tea bowl and couldn't help frowning, "What's the matter with the two of us?"

"Of course..... help me take care of the problems on my face, you...... You must have forgotten, right?" Wang Huozi panicked and stammered when he spoke.

"Hey, it turned out to be this!" Zhou Nianyi patted his head, "I thought you had something else, this is the co-author, okay, don't worry, for the sake of you bringing me pictures, I'll help." ”

"Oh, I'm ...... I don't even know what to say, I ...... I thank you!" Wang Huozi suddenly stood up from the stool and leaned over to kneel, but was pulled by Zhou Nian.

Zhou Nian waved his hand impatiently, "Okay, Mr. Wang, don't fix those vain heads, it's not practical, what we do between the two of us is a deal, you get what you pay for, you kowtow to me again, it's not like that, if you really want to thank me, just wait for me to help you make your appearance beautiful." ”

"But I ...... in my heart"

"Okay, it's nothing, your illness can't be adjusted for a while, you need to be gradual, step by step, you have to be patient. ”

"Yes, thank you for the master's teachings, I have patience, as long as the master is willing to help me heal, I am willing to die!"

"Okay, then let's get here today, I'm tired too, I'll go to you when I make the first recipe. ”

After Zhou Nian finished speaking, he got up and walked to the door.

"Yes, then I'll wait for the master's good news. Wang Huozi hurriedly got up to see him off, and followed him all the way to the courtyard, and his attitude was even more respectful.

"Farewell. ”

Leaving the last sentence, Zhou Nian turned around and left without looking back.

Leaving Wang Huozi's room, Zhou Nian quickly returned to his room.

Closing the door, Zhou Nian walked straight to the side of the hospital bed and sat down.

Lowering his head and staring at Gu Yan on the bed for a few moments, Zhou Nian stretched out his hand and put his hand on the other party's vein, mobilized his soul power to carefully perceive the breath on the other party's body, and saw that it was no longer a big problem, so he withdrew his palm with a little relief.

"Zhou Nian, are you back?" Next to Gu Yan, Lian Meng slowly sat up from the bed, carefully stepped over Gu Yan's body, and said in a low voice.

"Don't move, just lie down. Zhou Nian replied in a low voice.

Lian Meng shook his head, "No, I can't sleep." ”

"Hey, you're a patient, the most important thing at the moment is to rest, understand?" Zhou Nian instructed, and after speaking, he pressed Lian Meng's shoulder with his hand, intending to press him back to the bed.

Lian Meng struggled a few times with a sneer, don't look at her now that she is sick, but her strength is not small, not only did she get rid of Zhou Nian's shackles, but she jumped out of bed directly, ran to a desk and sat down.

"Hey, I said you ......"

"Oh, I just can't sleep, or will you accompany me?" Lian Meng turned around and chuckled, couldn't help Zhou Nian's nagging, and poured two cups of tea by himself, looking like he was going to talk to the other party at night.

"Alas......"

Shaking his head helplessly, Zhou Nian walked over with light steps, stretched out his index finger and scratched Lian Meng's little nose, "You, you don't look sick when you're sick, you should take care of it when you're sick, where are you so happy?"

Lian Meng glanced at him when he heard this, "Hey, who said that if you are sick, you have to look sick and crooked? If you are sick yourself, and then put on a weak look, then what spirit does this person have?"

"What kind of spirit do you need when you're sick? Don't you know that there is a kind of beauty called sick beauty?"

"I don't know, what's so beautiful about sick beauty, anyway, I don't want you to think I'm weak, that's all. Lian Meng pouted, and shook his head to the side after speaking.

And Zhou Nian knew that it was useless to say more, so he simply stopped delving into this issue, and then took out a few pieces of paper from his arms and looked at them carefully.

Lian Meng beside him was a little curious, "Hey, Zhou Nian, what are you looking at?"

"Huh?" he hummed lightly, and Zhou Nian didn't raise his head, "What about studying." ”

"Study, what do you learn in the middle of the night?"

"It is precisely because of the dead of night that I can calm down and study. ”

"What are you learning? Lian Meng stretched his neck, and his body couldn't help but move closer to Zhou Nian.

Zhou Nian pointed to the piece of paper on the table and explained, "This is called the clavicle talisman, it is a very powerful talisman, and I am studying how to make it." ”

As soon as the word "clavicle talisman" came out, Lian Meng's brows couldn't help frowning, "Why is it a talisman again?" It was an obedient talisman before, but what collarbone talisman came out now, Zhou Nian, why are you so interested in these things?"

Zhou Nian chuckled and touched Lian Meng's head, "Hehe, stupid Nizi, you haven't encountered a real spell, you don't know its terrifying power at all, I'm studying this now, it's also for the future, this thing is domineering and tight, maybe it will become a life-saving weapon in the future, as the so-called skills don't weigh down, there is no harm in learning more things." ”

"Survival?"

Muttering in a low voice, Lian Meng couldn't help but bow her head and ponder, and after a few seconds, she suddenly stood up, her face covered with countless tenderness, "Well, you learn slowly, I'll make you some snacks to eat." ”

"Good. Zhou Nian nodded, watched Lian Meng get up and leave, and his gaze returned to the piece of paper in his hand again.

The production process of the clavicle charm is not too cumbersome, the key lies in the use and preparation of materials, the requirements for some specific animal skins and animal bones are more demanding, although the amount of work is not large, but it is always a delicate job, Zhou Nian quickly remembered all the steps, the only worry is the collection and practice of those materials.

Drawing talismans is not like alchemy, Zhou Nian as a complete layman, that is not a foundation at all, if you don't keep it, there will be an embarrassing situation of seeing it and scrapping it as soon as you do it, so if you want to successfully draw a powerful clavicle talisman, in the preparation of materials, you need a very large amount, and accumulate valuable experience from it through many failures, from quantitative change to qualitative change, in order to be effective.

However, there are so many animal skins and bones to prepare, Zhou Nian doesn't have so much free time to go to the Despicable Forest to catch and kill, and the fastest and most effective shortcut is to go to some demon beast dealers to buy them.

Having made up his mind in his heart, Zhou Nian decided to go around the downtown area early tomorrow morning, where there are countless small traders and hunting teams, and buying the materials for the clavicle talisman from them can not only hide people's eyes and ears, but also save a lot of time.

"Smack!"

Tapping the bag to put away the piece of paper, Zhou Nian had already memorized all the materials, and at this time, even Meng also made a good snack, and the two sat with each other in the soft candlelight, and gradually entered a more warm picture......
