Chapter Seventy-Four: The Ancient Town
CHAPTER XXXIV
"What is this place?" Luo Qi followed Mahjong and Du Zhengyi through the hall, bypassed the screen, and came to another courtyard. There is not much difference between this and the front yard, except that the house is taller and larger, the yard is more neatly tied, there are plantains planted in front of the window, and a few green bamboos are planted in the corners of the house. It can be seen that this is an authentic Jiangnan house, and it has been around for some years. "Why did you prepare such a place?"
"It's an old town, and the original residents have moved to the city across the river to live in high-rise buildings with elevators." "But this was a place for a mage to learn from a long time ago. ”
"Mind Mage Society?" Rocky said that they had already entered the main house, and Roach reached out and picked at the jade inlaid on the screen.
"Hey," cried Mahjong, "why do you owe so much?" Don't touch that, Du Zhengyi, you don't care about him? ”
Luo Qi glanced at Du Zhengyi, who did not react, this reaction itself was cold and distant.
He saw that Mahjong also glanced twice between Du Zhengyi and himself, and had some speculation, but he didn't say anything, and stretched out his hand to invite them to sit down by the window. There was an iron kettle on the tea table, and there was water in the kettle, and he took out the tea leaves and reached for the kettle. Just as he stretched out his hand, the water in the pot was already boiling, and he picked up the kettle full of boiling water, carelessly and habitually. Luo Qi saw it in his eyes, and once again thought that Du Zhengyi really used too little power like this, although his strength was completely crushing when the mage was fighting, and mahjong was obviously not his opponent at all, but in life, Du Zhengyi always used a lot of human methods like a junior mage, almost the same as Luo Qi himself.
"Come, Roach, have some tea." Mahjong said, "Ming Qian tea." ”
"It's only March." Roach said.
"Ah," the mahjong was pierced and didn't care, "last year's Ming Qian tea." ”
"Last year's tea is all this year's Ming Qian tea, right?" Roach looked at him.
Mahjong laughed, kept in his hands, poured the fragrance of tea, put the teacup in front of Luo Qi and Du Zhengyi, and said while pouring tea, "It's only been a few days, why have you become so mean?" It's getting more and more like Du Zhengyi. Did Du Zheng take you badly? ”
Roach didn't speak, leaned back in his chair and looked out the window at the plantains, he didn't know that the sun here could shine so green on the plantain leaves. A three-flowered kitten slipped through the window, and he followed it aimlessly, familiarizing himself with its feelings, and he secretly pursued it, and found a total of nine cats within a few hundred meters.
He knew that Mahjong had been observing him, but even if he wanted to, he couldn't help it, his mind was chasing the movements of the cat in boredom, and he heard Mahjong say to Du Zhengyi, "To be honest, I didn't expect him to be able to stabilize so quickly." ”
Du Zheng picked up the tea and sniffed it first, "According to your instructions, he found an anchor point for himself." ”
"Clever." Mahjong said, "It seems that Luo Qi is a natural mind mage, although he looks out of tune, he is actually very talented. ”
"However, he used me as an anchor for consciousness." Du Zhengyi said in a flat voice.
Roach regained some attention during his cat-life exploration, secretly observing the mahjong's reaction.
Mahjong's expression paused obviously, and he glanced at himself, but it seemed to be more taboo Du Zhengyi. "Oh," he said, but the sound dragged on for a long time, and it seemed to be very rich in meaning. Roach observed his expression with a look, Mahjong's eyes turned visibly behind the lenses, and there seemed to be a lot of thought. Luo Qi patiently waited for the results of his thinking, and half a minute later, Mahjong was "oh" again, and he looked at Du Zhengyi for a moment, exchanging the meaning that Luo Qi did not understand.
Roach was furious, eager to immediately rip off the two of them's heads. When he is completely able to do it, it is really a kind of cultivation to endure not doing it. But Roach also knew that he wouldn't do it, so he was left angry.
"Oh." Mahjong snorted again, this time with a voice full of interest, and Rocky turned his head to look at him in annoyance, unexpectedly meeting Mahjong's inquiring gaze. He was stunned for a moment, then Mahjong smiled slyly and said, "The smell of this storm is so strong, I can smell the fresh smell of ozone when the lightning strikes." ”
"Don't provoke him." Du Zhengyi immediately warned.
"Yes, yes, don't mess with your bear children." Mahjong couldn't help but laugh sullenly as he spoke, "Look at you like this, what's the difference between the bear parents and the bear parents taking the bear child to a relative's house?" ”
"Okay, let's get down to business now." Mahjong smiled and said, "The test tube solution you gave me the day before yesterday, I already know what's inside." ”
"That's something Li Xu used, and it seems that he once soaked Roach in it."
"Is it the solution to make Superman?" Roach asked with the last trace of illusion, imagining that his ability was a mutation given to him by the laboratory, and it had nothing to do with him, and his essence was still the same Roach the day before yesterday.
Mahjong looked at him in confusion, "Your mind can't be a little more stable?" Do you want to spin silk, or do you want to build muscle? ”
Arch ignored him and retreated into his chair in boredom.
"First of all, this stuff is a product of humanity." Mahjong said sarcastically.
Du Zhengyi understood what he meant, "As a Lotus Burner, Li Xu has always opposed the mage's use of human technology, but he didn't expect that he would use it himself, but there was no psychological barrier. ”
"Two-faced people." Mahjong said.
"Two-skinned face." Rocky answered.
Du Zhengyi finally couldn't help but smile slightly, but the smile was fleeting. Mahjong suddenly became a little curious, and asked Du Zhengyi, "In order to prevent Luo Qi's interference, should you be on now?"
Du Zheng glared at him, and swallowed the words he said. Luo Qi looked back and forth between the two, desperately hoping to make up for the second half of Du Zhengyi's sentence, and was so annoyed that he wanted to scratch his chair.
Mahjong played haha, and then said, "We won't talk about anything else, we will only talk about academic issues today, and I can only talk about academic issues anyway." Back to the topic, the solution used by Li Xu is called fluorocarbon oxide solution in human science. ”
Rocky was stunned, "I seem to know what this is." ”
"You know?" Mahjong said in surprise, "Is Li Xu's consciousness still in your head?" Can you dig out more of his consciousness? ”
"Those consciousnesses are faded now," Roach said, "and he mentioned the name at the time, which I always thought was familiar, and now I finally remember what it was." ”
