Chapter 57: Luan Hui
early morning.
Zheng Fa walked into the Seventh Young Master's study, holding a pile of blueprints with talismans drawn on them.
In the morning light, the Seventh Young Master was sitting at his desk, his hair disheveled and his face sleepy. He hadn't washed his face, and he was dozing off little by little.
Compared to the refined look when Zheng Fa first met him, the Seventh Young Master now looked sloppy.
Hearing Zheng Fa's footsteps coming in, the Seventh Young Master did not react at all and continued to sleep soundly. A trace of saliva flowed from the corner of his mouth, almost falling onto a talisman spread out on the table.
Zheng Fa placed the drawing in his hand on the desk in front of him.
The Seventh Young Master was awakened by him. He slowly raised his head, glanced at Zheng Fa, and then looked at the new drawings that Zheng Fa had brought.
"This is?"
"Today's mission." Zheng Fa smiled kindly.
The Seventh Young Master stretched out his hand tremblingly, spread out his index finger and thumb, compared the thickness of the stack of drawings, and found that his hand was not big enough.
His eyes widened: "How come this is higher than a few days ago!"
"Young Master, you just started learning this secret technique a few days ago. I reduced the workload to give you some time to adapt." Zheng Fa said that he was very considerate: "But now you can start formal training."
"Adapt?" The Seventh Young Master's voice was full of incomprehension of the word: "I have only slept for two hours a day these past few days, and as soon as I open my eyes I see talismans. You tell me I am adapting? I am about to die, okay!"
Zheng Fa shook his head. The Tu Hai tactics were indeed a bit cruel to someone like the Seventh Young Master who had basically never studied hard.
But two months was too tight, so we had to do this.
These talismans were not found randomly by Zheng Fa.
Zheng Fa was not going to leak out the notebook that Old Man Bai gave him - the "Spiritual Crane Body" alone had caused him a lot of trouble, making Zheng Fa more cautious about these modern knowledge.
But in order for the Seventh Young Master to improve his ability to analyze talismans, he needed to teach him some of the techniques.
Zheng Fa simply learned the methods in the notebook himself first, and then he could find some talismans with the same characteristics that could be analyzed using the same technique, and analyze them for the Seventh Young Master every day.
Let the other party understand the skills imperceptibly.
This is a bit like what is called special training in modern schools.
This approach is a little tiring for Zheng Fa, but it is safer.
On the other hand, it also forced Zheng Fa to improve his understanding of these methods.
"I quit!" Looking at the drawings in front of him that he had not finished analyzing yesterday, and then looking at the new drawings that Zheng Fa brought, the Seventh Young Master pushed the table and stood up.
Zheng Fa was not surprised. It was a bit beyond his expectation that the Seventh Young Master could hold on for so many days.
"You really don't want to learn anymore?" He looked at the Seventh Young Master.
"I won't learn!" The Seventh Young Master shook his head firmly.
"Okay." Zheng Fa turned to look at Gao Yuan: "Bring me the box I brought."
"Okay!" Gao Yuan was very happy and happily brought a long rectangular box.
"What is this?" The Seventh Young Master was a little confused.
"Two days ago, my lady sent Butler Wu to find me and entrusted me with a magic weapon." Zheng Fa said in a deep voice as he took the long box from Gao Yuan's hand.
"Magic weapon?" The Seventh Young Master was stunned.
Zheng Fa opened the long box and pulled out a long rattan stick with a piece of red silk delicately tied on it.
"Why does this thing look so familiar?" The Seventh Young Master frowned and thought.
"Given by the Madam, I named it the Imperial Treasure Vine. Steward Wu said that if the young master gives up halfway again, this precious vine will be like the Madam herself." Zheng Fa took the cane in his hand, and his smile became even gentler: "Allow me to hit you first and then beat you."
"I recognized it!" The Seventh Young Master suddenly realized: "Isn't this what my mother used to teach me when I was a child?"
"Master has a good memory!"
Seeing Zheng Fa approaching with the cane, the Seventh Young Master looked more and more terrified: "Stop! My mother only uses this to scare me. She loves me so much that she has never really hit me!"
"Yes, Madam said that she couldn't bear to hear the young master crying and see you in tears. So she gave me the cane." Zheng Fa waved the cane: "If I beat her, she won't hear or see anymore."
"..." The Seventh Young Master sat down on the chair with a chuckle, his expression obedient: "I'll learn! Don't do it!"
…
Looking at the Seventh Young Master burying his head in study, Gao Yuan sighed regretfully.
"What's wrong?" Zheng Fa turned around and asked him.
"Master is too spineless."
Gao Yuan whispered that it was a pity that the Seventh Young Master didn't get beaten.
"Don't think I can't hear you." The Seventh Young Master raised his head and glared at Gao Yuan.
Gao Yuan covered his mouth.
The Seventh Young Master frowned and looked at Gao Yuan for a few times: "Young Master, I suddenly realized that you also have some talent for learning talismans. How about we learn together!"
"Don't!" Gao Yuan waved his hands quickly: "I don't have this blessing!"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The Seventh Young Master looked at Gao Yuan, who was gloating over the misfortune, and then at Zheng Fa, who was standing beside him, and couldn't help but curse: "When a villain succeeds, all the snakes and rats will be in the same nest! My life from now on will be dark and gloomy!"
The room suddenly became dark.
"Eh?" The Seventh Young Master was stunned and muttered, "My words are fulfilled? Then I will become an immortal right now, and I will die in a talisman!"
"Master, bird!" Gao Yuan pointed outside the window.
"What bird?"
The Seventh Young Master and Zheng Fa looked up at the sky.
A giant bird as big as the yard flew across the sky, its wings spread out, blocking out the sunlight in the sky.
This giant bird has green feathers all over its body, with only some long red feathers on its tail and the very edges of the back of its wings. When it flies across the sky, it looks like a green and red firework.
"Qingluan!" The Seventh Young Master suddenly jumped up: "My sister is back!"
He waved his hands frantically toward the sky, shouting, "Sister! Sister! Save me! Come and save me!"
…
On Qingluan's back, two girls stood, one in front and one behind.
The one in front, wearing a red shirt, craned his neck to look at the scenery below, and pointed at the Zhao Family Courtyard to introduce it to the one behind him: "This is my home!"
"That's my yard. There's a small fish pond in it with lots of fish. I once fell into it when I was a kid."
"That small building is where my mother lives. She loves to listen to those babbling things. I didn't like to go there before."
"The yard I just passed by was my brother's. It seemed to have been renovated and a small garden was built."
The girl behind her was wearing a simple green Taoist robe. She looked at her companion who was so excited that she kept talking, and asked softly, "You've been away from home for ten years, how can you remember it so clearly?"
The red-dressed girl pursed her lips and smiled sheepishly: "When I first went to Qingmu Sect, I dreamed of myself at home every night. Later, I drew this place myself and took it out to look at it from time to time. Although ten years have passed, the general appearance has not changed."
The young girl in green looked at her a little embarrassed, smiled gently, and asked, "Was there someone waving at us in that yard just now? It sounded like someone was calling me sister? Was it your brother?"
"No!" the red-dressed woman said firmly, "That man looks unkempt and a man who studies hard. He is definitely not my brother."
Seeing that the girl in blue didn't understand, she explained: "You don't know what kind of person my brother is. He has been conceited and lazy since he was a child."
"When he was a kid, I beat him up. I know how hard I hit him. He had to stay in bed for three months even though the injury could have healed in a day, just to avoid going to school! My mother still doted on him, and he must be even worse now!"
“…Maybe after ten years, people will change?”
"Well, maybe he was possessed by some old monster?" The girl in red touched her chin and said, "Impossible. What old monster is so blind that he would like my brother?"
