Chapter 20 Chapter 20 There's something wrong with this Junior Brother! ...
The night before leaving Jizhou City.
Jiang Yan received a gift from his senior sister - a book.
It is thin and has few pages. It would be more appropriate to call it a pamphlet rather than a book.
"Senior Sister, what is this?" Jiang Yan asked.
Yan Yushan hinted: "A story about goblins fighting."
Jiang Yan's hands shook and he almost dropped the script to the ground.
“W-what——”
Aren't there no fairies in this world?!
Jiang Yan immediately asked, "Is it a book that records two goblins fighting each other?"
"Strictly speaking, it's one person and one demon."
Yan Yushan said: "The words used are subtle and graceful, and some parts are even too abstract. They definitely meet the harmony requirements of the law enforcement team. Even if you watch it openly, you will not be fined."
The words are elegant and abstract...
Does it mean that some descriptions have been artistically processed and are not realistic?
It turns out that this is a literary novel describing a duel between humans and goblins.
Fairies and elves are two different races. Fairies are small, have wings on their backs, and can fly. Fairies have pointed ears and overly excellent looks, and cannot fly.
The two ethnic groups have friendly relations, often communicate with each other, and their cultures are very similar.
Through the goblins' speech, behavior and behavior, one can certainly catch a glimpse of the elves' shadow.
Perhaps this is the first breakthrough.
Jiang Yan couldn't help but clench the script tightly.
Yan Yushan noticed what her junior fellow apprentice was doing.
Oh, it turns out that my junior brother likes this.
She did not expose him, but took the initiative to change the subject: "Junior brother, do you know about the law enforcement team?"
Jiang Yan shook his head: "I only have a vague understanding."
Yan Yushan explained: "For the sake of peace in the world of cultivation, and to prevent the cultivators from overly influencing and interfering in the lives of mortals, each continent has elected its own law enforcement team."
"Zhongzhou Lingyu Sect, Dongzhou Jian Sect, Xizhou Taixu Temple, Nanzhou Ziyun Palace."
"Why is Beizhou not here?" Jiang Yan asked.
"Northern Continent is covered with ice and snow all year round and is sparsely populated. Ordinary cultivators cannot endure the bitter cold there, and only the Snow Demon Clan can survive. But they can't leave the North, and we can't go there either, so naturally there is no need for a law enforcement team." Yan Yushan replied.
“Who sets the rules for law enforcement?”
"In the world of cultivation, the strong prey on the weak, and whoever has the bigger fist gets to decide."
Yan Yushan explained: "Every hundred years, a sect competition is held, and people from each sect compete in the ring. Our Hehuan Sect always comes along as a runner-up. We can't beat others. There's nothing we can do."
Jiang Yan: “Oh.”
So there is such a thing.
Yan Yushan caught a glimpse of two small and exquisite bronze mirrors on the table. The mirrors were upside down on the table, and the backs were engraved with intricate rune formations.
“Eh? This is…”
Jiang Yan: "I want to give it to a friend. I just finished it."
Yan Yushan understood what was meant and raised her eyebrows.
"Oh! A friend—and he drew it himself!"
Yan Yushan chuckled a few times and didn't ask any more questions.
She patted Jiang Yan's shoulder and said with a smile, "Okay. Junior brother, take your time to read it. I won't bother you anymore."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Jiang Yan watched her back fade away.
Why does the tone of my senior sister's speech change with every word, just like singing an opera?
I can't figure it out.
If you can't figure it out, don't think about it.
Jiang Yan quickly stepped forward, locked the door, and set up a barrier.
He sat cross-legged on the couch, holding the literary novel about the duel between humans and goblins in his hands.
Jiang Yan solemnly opened the first page.
When I saw the first line, I felt something was wrong.
It seems to be classical Chinese and poetry.
He learned Chinese characters and sword manuals from his father, and learned Elvish and magic books from his mother, as well as the continent's common language and lich language...
He can speak any language and is a multilingual genius.
Only the formal classical Chinese and poetry were a little difficult for Jiang Yan.
It’s not that I don’t understand, but…
You can't expect a person who lives in a magical continent and speaks other languages all year round to accurately translate and interpret an ancient text in a short period of time.
It's probably going to be a tough battle.
Jiang Yan gritted his teeth and looked down.
…
Half an hour later.
Jiang Yan closed the book with a serious expression.
what to do.
can't read.
Is he going to become illiterate?
Impossible!
Jiang Yan refused to believe it and opened the first page again, carefully studying every word as if he was reading the oldest magic secret book.
Another half hour passed.
Jiang Yan closed the book, feeling extremely sad.
I still don’t understand.
He understood every word, so why couldn't he read them together?
What is "lightly plucking, slowly twisting, wiping and picking"? Isn't this a fight? Why did you suddenly start playing the piano?
What does "a tree of pear blossoms crushes the crabapple blossoms" mean? Does it mean that after a fight on the pear tree, the pear blossoms fell down and crushed the crabapple blossoms?
Jiang Yan is very sad.
He was an excellent student in the magic academy, but after traveling to another world, he became an illiterate.
This shouldn't be.
However, Jiang Yan still successfully confirmed one thing.
The protagonists here are a man and a fox demon, there are no fairies - neither fairies nor elves.
"Senior sister was cheated by the bookseller." Jiang Yan said to himself, "I have to tell her tomorrow."
**
The next day.
Everyone packed up their things and followed Master Hehuan out of the city.
In the open space in the distance, there was a huge spaceship parked, suspended in the air.
He Huan Zhenren didn't even look at it, and said directly: "We will take our own flying magic weapon, not Lingyu Sect's."
Obviously, the second in command has not been released from the blacklist by Master Hehuan and is still in the status of "former lover".
The travel spacecraft configured by the Hehuan Sect was not as big as the other ship, but no one objected.
Even if someone was interested, they would not dare to mention it under the cold face of Master Hehuan.
Qibao followed closely to see Jiang Yan off.
Before leaving, Jiang Yan handed a brocade bag to Qibao.
"Please pass it to Young Master Gu for me. Thank you."
Qibao's eyes were red. "Does the Immortal Lord have to be polite to me? These days, I have seen a lot by your side. If my parents were not in Feng'an, I would have to go back to practice martial arts and swordsmanship. Otherwise, I really want to follow you forever."
Jiang Yan comforted her, "I'm in Hehuan Sect, you can come to see me anytime. Or, if I have the chance, I'll go to Feng'an to visit you."
"Study hard!" Jiang Yan encouraged.
Qibao had no choice but to nod with tears in his eyes.
Can't you tell him something else? He doesn't really like studying.
As the spaceship started up and gradually lifted off into the air, Qibao stood in the distance, waving his arms vigorously and shouting:
"My Lord, take care!"
The Immortal King seemed to have heard his call and turned around and waved at him.
Qibao wanted to take a closer look.
It was a pity that the flying magic weapon was so powerful that the strong wind it stirred up almost made it impossible for him to open his eyes.
The magic weapon was so fast that Qibao could only barely see a black dot before he was blinded by the wind and sand.
When I finished massaging and opened my eyes, there was nothing in front of me. There was nothing but the clear blue sky and misty clouds.
The immortal boat carrying the immortal has long gone away.
…
On a moving spacecraft.
Jiang Yan found Yan Yushan.
"Senior sister."
"Did you come here because of the scent of tea? Then you came at the right time."
Yan Yushan was making tea by the stove and cheerfully asked him to sit down.
Jiang Yan sat upright on the cushion and drank tea with his senior sister.
The brother and sister drank tea face to face for a while before Yan Yushan put down the teacup comfortably.
She asked slowly, "What do you want from me, Junior Brother?"
Could it be that the storybook from last night was so good that I wanted to ask her for a few more?
Jiang Yan said, "The content of the script you gave me yesterday was different, Senior Sister, I'm afraid you were deceived."
Yan Yushan:?
Yan Yushan was horrified: "Isn't this a story about goblins fighting?"
Jiang Yan shook his head: "No."
Yan Yushan became furious after being deceived by the bookseller.
But in front of her junior brother, she suppressed her temper and asked with a frown, "If it's not a fight between goblins... then what is it? Could it really be a book of poetry?"
If that's the case.
She immediately turned around and went back to teach the liar a lesson!
“It’s not pure poetry.”
Jiang Yan replied: "It seems that a man rescued a fox demon. The two got along for a while, and then they got together every night to recite poems and write couplets. In addition to the poems they wrote, they occasionally talked about their daily lives, such as..."
Jiang Yan thought about it and only said a fragment that he could fully understand.
"For example, on a cold day, when the man said he was cold, the fox demon covered him with its furry tail to keep him warm, and then began to recite poetry."
Jiang Yan didn’t quite understand.
Are those two poets from the human and fox tribes? Why can they chant all night long?
Yan Yushan: “…”
The booksellers were almost wronged.
Aren’t those poems about goblins fighting?
Jiang Yan: "That person also helped the fox demon to practice...but why did they practice by chanting different poems in various occasions?"
Jiang Yan was puzzled: "Senior sister, I studied 'A tree of pear blossoms overshadows a crabapple' all night last night, but I still couldn't figure out the subtlety of this poem."
"Why after listening to it, the fox demon wept bitterly, yet beamed with joy? What a contradiction."
Always crying and laughing.
Jiang Yan felt that the fox demon seemed a little silly.
Yan Yushan: “…”
There is no contradiction at all.
Don't blame others. Occasionally, you should reflect on yourself and think about whether it is your own fault!
Jiang Yan continued, "On the second day, the fox demon's inner elixir became even more powerful."
"Senior Sister, is this because fox demons have their own unique way of cultivation?" Jiang Yan asked humbly, his eyes full of innocent confusion.
Yan Yushan: “…………”
Yes, junior brother.
If you join the Hehuan Sect, you will also have it.
Yan Yushan seemed to be hesitant to speak, with a complicated look in her eyes.
No, no!
There's something wrong with this junior brother!
He seems to be completely different from the experienced person everyone imagines!
It seems that my junior brother doesn’t even have the experience of talking about military affairs on paper!
This can no longer be explained by saying "he is an illiterate boy who cannot understand poetry."
Moreover, Jiang Yan could teach himself how to draw talismans and set up formations by looking at the elementary formation textbooks. It was obvious that he was well-read and it was impossible for him not to be able to understand ancient poetry.
...She can't bear it anymore!
Go get help immediately to make a judgment!
After a long, suffocating silence.
Yan Yushan suddenly jumped up from her chair. In panic, her robe was about to overturn the teapot on the table, and the tea was about to spill all over her.
Jiang Yan quickly reached out and took it.
With a flip of the wrist, several afterimages flashed by like lightning, accurately catching the flying teapot and the falling tea, without even a drop splashing on the sleeves of the senior sister.
"Senior sister? You look a little ugly, are you okay?"
The handsome man in white clothes and black hair slowed down his voice and looked over with concern.
Yan Yushan: “…” Junior brother is really handsome.
But she had no mood to appreciate the beauty at the moment, and her mood was very complicated.
Could it be that Jiang Yan came to the wrong place and chose the wrong master?
"You, you stay here, don't move, I'll go call Master!"
Yan Yushan staggered away.
He looked shocked and incredulous.
Jiang Yan: ???
Suddenly I had a bad feeling.
