Chapter Thirty-Six: My Heart Is Dirty
"Sniff, where are we going?"
An Xiaofu followed An Wenjian for a long time before speaking: "That broken feather didn't follow, if you just want to get rid of him, you can already go to the Taoist temple." ”
"No, although he didn't keep up, there must be some way to confirm where we are now."
An Wenjian's tone was affirmative, and he moved forward unhurriedly, quickly flipping through the secret book of the breathing technique in his hand: "What he said before is half-true and half-false. It seems to be respectful to me, but in fact, his mind is full of thinking about how to calculate me. Even this breath collection technique is fake. ”
"Fake?"
An Xiaofu raised her eyebrows, pulled down the cheats in An Wenjian's hand a little, and looked at it twice: "It's the breathing technique, that's right." ”
"Are you sure?"
An Wenjian handed over the cheats: "Take a good look at it again." ”
An Xiaofu silently took it and read it carefully.
After a while, her brows furrowed: "This breathing technique...... It's been modified, and it's very little and obscure, but I don't see any difference in the effect before and after the change. ”
"I don't see it either, but it's certainly not a good effect."
An Wenjian took back the cheats casually, and told An Xiaofu by the way: "Wait until we get other breathing techniques in the future, and then compare them with this breathing technique to see if we can get a no problem with the breathing method." Until then, don't take this breath to heart, let alone try it. ”
"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid."
An Xiaofu didn't care: "How long do we have to go, until that broken feather gives up?" ”
"No, just get here."
An Wen suddenly stopped and looked in the direction he came: "That broken feather is more cautious than I expected." I'm afraid that if we don't return to the Taoist temple, he will always follow him secretly. Let's go back to the Taoist temple. ”
"Wait, wait!"
An Xiaofu hugged An Wenjian's hand: "Since you know that his purpose is to wait for us to return to the Taoist Temple, why do you want to go back?" Also, why are you so sure? I've been watching, and I don't feel like there's anything wrong with him. ”
"You're too young to look closely."
An Wenjian smiled and touched his head to kill: "He said that he found me as soon as he arrived in the village, which is a lie." Although he may seem rough, he is a very cautious guy. If he had found me in the first place, he would not have rushed into the village. ”
"He said that waiting for me at the village chief's house for the night was also a lie. Yesterday evening, I went to see the village chief, who was upstairs. Whether he wanted to ask me something, or to make a good relationship, it was a good opportunity, but he didn't come down or invite me upstairs. ”
"In the end, I was sure that there was something wrong with him, and he took the initiative to follow. If he was really afraid of me, he would definitely wish I had left early, and not hinder their sect from recruiting disciples in the village, even if he couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't take the initiative to come over. As for what to ask for an explanation, that kind of far-fetched reason, it is a shame that he can look reasonable. If I weren't sure he had a problem, it would have been easy for me to be bluffed by him. ”
"What are you doing with all this complication?"
An Xiaofu's face trembled when she heard this: "Is the knife behind him an ornament?" The strong among the monks are respected, and if you solve us directly, won't there be nothing? ”
"Remember what I said to you? Monks are also human beings. And people have always been complex. ”
An Wenjian looked up at the sky, and his tone was a little emotional: "But the most important thing is that my realm is higher, and he is not sure to win." ”
An Xiaofu lowered her head and was silent for a while, as if accepting.
After a while, she raised her head again and asked, "You said that Broken Feather's goal is to return to the Taoist Temple with us, on what basis?" ”
"Before, he tricked out that I wouldn't be able to breathe, but when he saw that I was in a hurry to leave, he quickly took out the breathing technique as bait, which was actually testing my 'wealth'."
An Wenjian showed a malicious smile: "I saw his intentions, so I calculated and followed his guess of me to make myself look like that." You were behind me at the time, and you probably didn't pay attention to his eyes, it was all LSP's reaction when he saw Setu. ”
"Even though he tried to control it, I noticed subtle changes in him. After that, in order to divert my attention, he probably also wanted to relieve his emotions, so he specially drew a knife. By the way, he is indeed a sword cultivator, and this is not lying. However, the sword cultivation inheritance will never be limited to cultivation. Even if you can't refine magic weapons, at least you can learn swords. ”
"He asked me to help him strengthen the broadsword, and the purpose should be to analyze and infer the inheritance content I have mastered by observing the process of strengthening the sword. If he had been better at observation and analysis, he might have been able to judge the length of time I had been passed on based on whether I was unfamiliar or skilled at the time. ”
An Xiaofu heard this with a pain in her head, and she knew for the first time that in addition to the weak eating the strong at the level of cultivation, there was also this kind of "battle" that had nothing to do with cultivation and did not see blood.
[Maybe it's because the cultivation of the low-level spiritual realm cultivators is not high, so they need to fight in this way.] 】
[Then when my cultivation is improved in the future, it will be like we did in the past, even if other monks do everything they can to calculate, I will cut them with a sword?] 】
[Maybe.] 】
Seeing An Xiaofu bowing her head and being silent, An Wenjian thought that she blamed herself for not noticing this, and said with relief: "Don't think too much, I also rely on some special talents to know this." ”
An Xiaofu shook her head, didn't say anything, and asked again: "So, the purpose of that broken feather wants us to return to the Taoist Temple is to smell your inheritance?" ”
"Not sure, but highly likely."
An Wenjian's expression became serious: "And after he confirms the location of our Taoist temple, there is a high probability that he will not show up immediately, but take some time to find a helper, and by the way, use this time to let us gradually relax our vigilance, and then sneak attack us with the helper." It is expected to be a fierce battle. ”
"Since you know everything, why do you want to go back to the Taoist temple?"
An Xiaofu clenched An Wenjian's arm: "Smell, let's escape, escape to a place where there are no other monks." Just give me another ten years... No, eight years is enough, my strength is enough to protect..."
"You haven't built a foundation, what can you protect?"
An Wen saw a flick on An Xiaofu's forehead and interrupted her: "It's not that you can't beat it, why escape." Why do you think that broken feather didn't do it directly? As I just said, my realm is higher, and he doesn't have the confidence to win. Also, have you forgotten what I've always been best at? ”
"Smell the best?"
An Xiaofu covered her forehead and blinked her eyes: "Cooking? ”
"It's a formation! Spell! Law! ”
An Wenjian gently pinched An Xiaofu's face, and pulled it to both sides at the same time to show displeasure: "I'm not good at fighting, even if the realm is higher, if I really fight, I may be defeated by other monks across a big realm." However, if there is a formation to assist, it is a different matter. The place where I have arranged the most formations at the moment is the Taoist temple. In other words, I am the strongest and safest in the Taoist temple. ”
"But I remember, those formations you set up are not lethal."
An Xiaofu's face turned red: "Could it be that you have arranged some powerful formation in a place that I don't know?" ”
"No, non-existent."
An Wen shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands: "I don't know how to use spells or formations for combat at all." ”
An Xiaofu: "Huh? ”
"You're still too rigid in your thinking."
An Wenjian smiled and said, "Who told you that non-combat formations can't be used in battle?" ”
The two talked all the way, and An Wen finally explained it clearly.
Half a day later, the two of them returned to the vicinity of the Taoist temple.
The "old dividing line" that existed in the surrounding area in the past has disappeared, but the "new dividing line" is even more obvious - in just a few years, the other plants have not changed much, but the trees that were originally transplanted by An Wen and used to arrange a large area of the Spirit Gathering Array have grown into towering trees.
Stepping into the influence range of the large-scale compound spirit gathering array, An Xiaofu immediately felt the change: "The aura, it is even stronger......"
