Chapter 42: The Mastiff (Part II)
Chapter 42: Killing the Mastiff (Part II)
That night, Jun Zhu came to Jiang Chen's room with a basket, but found that Jiang Chen was not there. She went to Jiang Wu's room again, and heard the brothers whispering through the door.
"Brother, be lighter. ”
"Hmm!"
"Be careful, it almost broke!"
"Don't worry, I won't break it!"
"What are they ......" Jun Zhu was shocked, she kicked open the door, and saw Jiang Chen Jiang Wu squatting next to the bluestone platform, looking back at her with a stunned face. Tatsukage stood behind the door, as non-existent as a shadow, barely breathing.
"What are you doing?" asked Junzhu.
"Make rune paper!" Jiang Wu replied, "My brother wants to spread the pulp thinner, so that he can make a few more." However, if it is too thin, it is easy to break. ”
"Yes," Jiang Chen said, "Our brothers are going to Linglong Pavilion, and we don't have anything to sell, so we plan to make more rune paper, and we can also exchange some useful Dao artifacts and other things in Linglong Pavilion." ”
"That's the case!" Jun Zhu's heart was relieved, and he muttered to himself: "I thought it was ......"
"Why do you think?" Jiang Wu asked suspiciously.
"Ah, it's nothing!" Junzhu's face suddenly turned red, she put the basket on the table, and said, "You haven't eaten dinner yet, this is a meal cooked by Miss Ben herself, come and taste it." ”
As she spoke, she took out two bowls of gnocchi, a plate of scrambled eggs, and two pairs of chopsticks from the basket.
"Is it the first time for Miss Junzhu to cook?" Jiang Chen glanced at the color of the dish and said hesitantly, "Are you sure you can eat it?"
"Love to eat, don't eat and pull down!" Jun Zhu said angrily.
"Eat, eat!" Jiang was already hungry in the morning, and hurriedly picked up a bowl of gnocchi and ate it.
After only one bite, he stopped.
"Is it delicious?" asked Junzhu expectantly.
"It's not bad, brother, you give it a try. Jiang Wu said.
"Really?" Jiang Chen picked up another bowl of gnocchi in disbelief, took a bite, and stopped.
Jiang Chen finally swallowed it and muttered, "This, except for the fact that the gnocchi is wrapped in some flour that has not melted, it is still good." ”
"Try the scrambled eggs, I seem to have put a little more salt, but it's not burned!" Junzhu pushed the scrambled eggs in front of the two of them, staring at them with wide eyes in anticipation.
Jiang Chen had no choice but to grab a pair of chopsticks, and then immediately drank a few large mouthfuls of noodle soup. He said, "Are you scrambling eggs? Didn't you put a little more eggs in the salt scrambling?"
"Eat it all for Miss Ben!" Jun Zhu said angrily: "Take one less bite and add one or two silver interest!"
......
Two days later, the two brothers came to Linglong Pavilion together. The Taoist chief of Linglong Temple also heard about their encounter with demons in Pingyang Valley, and after seeing them, he asked long and short questions. It was inconvenient for the two brothers to say it explicitly, so they just said a few perfunctory words.
After arriving at the Linglong Pavilion, they went straight to the "Library Library", where there are thousands of books related to monasticism and demons, which are neatly placed on rows of bookshelves for guests to read at will. There are also plenty of tables and chairs for guests to sit and peruse.
"Young Master Jiang, you're here too!" Jiang Wu whispered to one of the teenagers. The other party is the young owner of the Sanhe River Museum.
Jiang Gongzi glanced at Jiang Chen and Jiang Wu, and opened his mouth to speak, but only nodded.
Jiang Chen asked curiously: "Jiang Gongzi, the collection of books here is allowed to be read, aren't you afraid that the guests will only read and not buy them?"
Jiang Gongzi said: "Shuxuan is only open for half a day every half a month. How much can you see in half a day? Even if you do, how much can you remember. The classics here are all related to cultivating the path and slaying demons, and some of them are even cultivation formulas, and there can be no difference at all. Therefore, if a customer finds a book they need, they will definitely buy it, even if it is a little more expensive. ”
"I see!" Jiang Chen's mouth curled and he smiled slightly: "I've really come to the right place." ”
Jiang Wu was also overjoyed, he knew that Jiang Chen had the ability to never forget, and the books he had read, as long as he recalled them carefully in a short period of time, he could almost recite them word for word. Even if the time interval is long, you can recall the general content.
Jiang Chen and Jiang Wu immediately split up and looked through the books. Jiang Wu went to find information about the hexagonal token, and he looked it up in the books such as "Miscellaneous Talks on Cultivation". He flipped through the table of contents for each book, then flipped through it a few times, and if he didn't find a clue, he changed to another one.
And Jiang Chen first went to read books such as "Gongfa Classics". The exercises that are sold in the book are bound to not be earth-shattering magic exercises, but for Jiang Chen Jiang Wu, who doesn't even have a complete basic technique except for the "Tianxuan Sword Technique", any book here is a treasure.
A copy of the Gongfa book sells five low-grade Dao jades, but the brothers don't even have a piece of Dao jade, only some hard-earned rune paper, so Jiang Chen doesn't plan to buy it at all, he wants to use his talent to forcibly memorize a whole exercise in his mind.
You can't make a mistake with the mantra of the exercises, so Jiang Chen has to read it carefully. It was impossible to read too much in half a day, Jiang Chen picked for a while, and finally chose to read a copy of "Five Elements Basic Dao Law" first. Jiang Chen flipped through the pages one by one, and the book was not thick, only more than 10,000 words. He watched it for a full hour, and finally finished reading.
Jiang Chen covered the book, closed his eyes and recalled for a moment, then smiled slightly and changed another book.
In order to prevent memory confusion, this time he did not read the Gongfa classics again, but read a book of "Hundred Pictures of Dao Symbols", which tells about the production of common Taoist symbols, and each kind of Taoist symbols is equipped with rune images. For Jiang Chen, this kind of classic book is easier to remember than mere words.
After reading more than half of the "Hundred Pictures of Dao Fu", Jiang Wu suddenly handed over a book: "Brother, look!"
Jiang Chen shifted his gaze when he heard this, and saw that on the page of the book in Jiang Wu's hand, there were several hexagonal token patterns drawn, some were flames, some were rivers, some were forests, and some were swords;
"Found it!" Jiang Chen's heart moved, and he hurriedly flipped through the nearby words.
The Taoist court belongs, the three sects of heaven and the six gates of the earth. The hexagonal token is the identity token of the various factions of the "Earth Six Gates". Among them, the flame pattern is the Yanyang Gate token, the sword pattern is the Jinque Gate token, the river pattern is the Shangshan Gate token, the forest pattern is the Changsheng Gate token, and the mountain peak pattern is the Taiyue Gate token. There is also a sect called the Mixed Yuan Gate in the six gates, but there is no token pattern, and the classics say that this sect has been broken off more than 100 years ago.
"In this way, Master is a person from the Dao Court! and he is also a Taoist of the Taiyue Sect in the Six Sects of the Earth!" Jiang Chen's heart moved. He finally knew a clue about the identity of his master.
Killing people in the Dao Court, or the Dao Heroes of the famous Great Sect, this is a big crime, once it spreads, it will definitely be hunted down and killed by the Dao Court. Therefore, this matter cannot be known to outsiders.
The brothers also wanted to see more books about Daoting and Taiyuemen, but at this time, the shopkeeper of Shuxuan shouted and said: "The time for the opening of the library has come, fellow Daoists, if there are books that match your heart, please take them to the counter and buy them." If you don't buy it, please put the book back where it belongs. ”
Jiang Gongzi took two books to the counter, Jiang Chen and Jiang Wu had no Daoyu, so they had to put the books back on the bookshelf and leave the book.
As soon as he came out of the book, he happened to meet several young Taoists, all of whom were dressed as sons of a family. One of them saw Jiang Chen and Jiang Afternoon, and sneered: "Aren't these the two brothers of the Chenwu Daoist Hall? I heard that you were injured in a fight with many demon beasts in Pingyang Valley, but why didn't I even see the shadow of the demon beast when I rushed to Pingyang Valley?"
Another person said in a strange manner: "There are too many people who sell their fame and reputation! Why should Liu Gongzi be like such a talker!"
