Chapter Twenty-Three: Old Man Fu
When Qing Lian walked into the mysterious highest floor with Zhou Chu, an awe-inspiring aura filled the entire floor.
The dim light and the corridors decorated with red gold add to the solemnity and majesty of the entire floor.
Whether it is the building or the characters hidden in the house, it gives Zhou Chu an inexplicable sense of oppression.
Instantly, Zhou Chu noticed the unusualness of this floor.
Just as Zhou Chu was thinking, Qing Lian pushed open a vermilion ancient wooden door, and a thick stream of calligraphy and ink poured out.
An old man with a childish face and crane hair, carrying a pen, buried himself in writing, a pale shirt, dancing with his arms, rattling.
When the old man heard the sound of the door, he paused slightly, did not even raise his head, and continued to wave the pen in his hand.
"Old man Fu, you are obsessed with Sanskrit every time, be careful that others empty your treasures. Qinglian smiled.
"Hehe, even if there is no strong person in the dark in the Star Picking Building, I am afraid that with the name of the owner of the Qianji Building, the door will be opened, and the thief will have to weigh it. Old man Fu put down the pen in his hand, brushed away the hair in front of him and said.
Seeing that Qing Lian was followed by a delicate young man, who was very unfamiliar, he immediately frowned and cast an inquiring glance at Qing Lian.
"He wants to learn runes from you. Qinglian said.
"No, the old man is busy studying ancient and complex characters, and he doesn't have time to teach others. Old man Fu flatly refused.
Hearing Old Man Fu's words, Zhou Chu chuckled in his heart, obviously the old man in front of him was a maverick thinker, and few people could influence his thoughts.
Old man Fu understood the intentions of Qinglian and Zhou Chu, and after categorically refusing, he simply ignored the two of them, and planned to continue writing by himself.
Qing Lian and Zhou Chu glanced at each other, revealing the same helpless expression.
"Is he the one the landlord asked me to bring here?" asked Qing Lian tentatively.
"Qianji, this girl?" Old Man Fu put aside the pen in his hand, raised his head and began to look at Zhou Chu seriously.
Seeing that the young man in front of him is delicate and gentle, the most important thing is that he has an indescribable temperament, which is also comfortable and pleasing to the eye.
It's just that Old Man Fu has been stuck in an ancient problem recently, and he wants to solve it wholeheartedly, and he has no time to deal with other things.
As the landlord, Qianji couldn't help but listen to what she said, which made Old Man Fu fall into deep thought.
Zhou Chu looked at the extremely reluctant old man Fu, thinking that the other party was a little reluctant at the beginning, if it was difficult for a strong man, not only would the other party be unhappy, but I was afraid that he would not be able to learn the real thing.
Immediately, he secretly wondered in his heart whether to let Qinglian find someone else.
At this moment, the formation drawn by Old Man Fu in thick ink suddenly appeared in Zhou Chu's eyes, and a familiar smell came to his nose, and Zhou Chu instantly saw the hidden mystery of the formation.
After all, as a person who has studied the Heavenly Book Formation, he can see through this small formation at a glance.
I saw Zhou Chu walking over slowly, his eyes carefully looking at the formation outlined by Old Man Fu on the drawings, and then he lifted the brush on the table.
"Zhou Chu, no. Qing Lian saw Zhou Chu lifting the brush, and hurriedly reminded in a panic.
As a rune master, Old Man Fu is quite superb in terms of both the magic weapons and spells he forges, but he has a withdrawn personality and does not like to disturb others, especially hating others for touching his things.
If Zhou Chuti really moved his pen on the scroll and angered Old Man Fu, even if Qianji came forward, I am afraid it would be useless.
At that time, Old Man Fu was deep in thought, and he didn't notice Zhou Chu's movements, and after hearing Qing Lian's stopping voice and reacting, it was already too late.
I saw Zhou Chu waving his pen, wantonly swaying ink on the scroll he had drawn.
At this time, Old Man Fu's muscles burst out, his face was pale, and he stared at Zhou Chu gloomily.
After Zhou Chu put down his pen, Qing Lian shook his head, did not speak at all, and quietly waited for Old Man Fu's verdict.
Old man Fu walked towards Zhou Chu step by step, his eyes were cold, and his voice shouted sharply, "If it weren't for the landlord's level, the old man would have skinned you and get out." ”
When Qing Lian heard this, he already knew that Zhou Chu's actions had completely angered Old Man Fu, and he had no ability to resolve it at all.
Zhou Chu shrugged his shoulders, looked indifferent, glanced at Qing Lian, and motioned to leave here with himself.
Qing Lian understood, and seeing that he had angered Old Man Fu, staying here was afraid that the problem would be more difficult, so he immediately turned around and went out with Zhou Chu.
Just as the two were walking side by side, Qing Lian heard Zhou Chu count in a low voice, "One, two, three, make a sound." ”
"Stop, wait. A hurried voice sounded behind him.
At this moment, Qing Lian looked at Zhou Chu with shocked eyes, especially when he heard Zhou Chu counting confidently, which made Qing Lian's heart flooded with turbulence.
It is unbelievable that he simply showed his hand and attracted the attention of the other party without any suspense.
The two stopped, a smile tugged at the corner of Zhou Chu's mouth, and he was very calm in his heart. Qing Lian didn't expect that Old Man Fu, who had always been withdrawn, would be willing to stop Zhou Chu, and it seemed that Zhou Chu's painting had attracted his great attention.
Looking at Zhou Chu with a calm face, Qing Lian couldn't imagine that Zhou Chu would have such strength.
A few hasty strokes completely attracted the attention of Old Man Fu, you must know that Old Man Fu is one of the best in the Star Picking Building in terms of runes, and his own arrogance has been personally understood by everyone.
"Boy, tell me how you were able to crack the formation easily?" Old man Fu hurriedly blocked his figure in front of Zhou Chu, for fear that Zhou Chu would slip away, ignoring his image.
Zhou Chu tried his best to keep his mouth shut, staring at Old Man Fu with gentle eyes, and never spoke.
Seeing that Zhou Chu was silent, Old Man Fu couldn't help but look Zhou Chu up and down, and he really couldn't figure out how Zhou Chu cracked the formation he had painstakingly studied.
After looking at it for a long time, Old Man Fu didn't find any clues, and immediately frowned, and after a while, suddenly said in a sharp voice, "Could it be your Xuanshi?"
"No wonder, no wonder. Old man Fu figured out the key to this, walked around Zhou Chu, and made a tongue-smacking sound in his mouth.
"Tsk, yes, very good, the cultivation of the Spirit Realm, and a genuine Xuanshi, is simply talented. ”
"Looking at the entire continent, you kid is also excellent. ”
"Boy, in this way, since you want to learn runes, it just so happens that the old man is also studying the ancient formation, but although the old man can read the words, he can't understand the formation, so let's teach you the runes, and you help me crack the formation, how about it?"
Qing Lian, who was standing on the side, was already dumbfounded, is this still the arrogant old man he knew before, how did he see the young Zhou Chu, his appearance has completely changed, listening to the tone, there is also a trace of weak temptation and begging.
Seeing that the Chonggong event was coming, there was less and less time left for him to brush up the list, and Zhou Chu did not take advantage of the refusal at all.
So Zhou Chu looked at Old Man Fu, shrugged his shoulders, and nodded in his expectant gaze.
Old man Fu was overjoyed when he saw this, pulled Zhou Chu, and went straight to the picture scroll.
Qing Lian stood at the door, looking at the two of them in a daze, this was a completely unexpected result.
At this time, Zhou Chu looked at the formation on the scroll, and Old Man Fu couldn't wait to pick up the brush, so he wrote complex words on the scroll.
"In ancient civilizations, each civilization has its own carrier of inheritance, and runes are the most common carriers, and the only difference from ordinary words is that runes can be combined to produce powerful power. ”
Old man Fu said as he wrote, Zhou Chu nodded seriously, silently remembering what Old Man Fu said in his heart.
Qing Lian looked at the two of them, one spoke seriously, and the other listened seriously, as if he had forgotten the initial gap, and immediately couldn't help but laugh.
However, Old Man Fu was willing to teach Zhou Chu, and she could be regarded as having fulfilled the landlord's entrustment, and immediately turned around and left, walking towards Qianji's room.
