Chapter 24 Chapter 24 (Catching Bugs) He finally got into a…
The land of Shenzhou is vast. Even if you take a specially refined spaceship magic weapon, it will take some time to travel from Zhongzhou to Xizhou.
The journey was long, and there was nothing else on the spaceship except for the houses for daily living.
Many people start to feel bored after the initial novelty wears off.
There were many tables, chairs and benches in the lobby, and people often sat here to chat and drink, but Jiang Yan had never been there once.
Fan Yang asked him why he didn't go for a walk.
Jiang Yan sat cross-legged on the cushion by the window and shook his head.
"I don't like noisy or crowded places. I'm sorry to trouble you, brother."
Fan Yang did not force him. He stepped back a few steps and saw that his fellow apprentice had closed his eyes and entered into meditation again. He did not disturb him any more and quietly left the room.
In the next few days, Jiang Yan's life became more and more regular.
At night, I would sit in meditation under the moon, absorbing the magical factors and natural elements in the air - unfortunately, there were very few, so progress was slow.
During the day, he would set aside half of his time to practice sword-fighting in a fixed corner at a fixed time and place every day.
The rest of the time, he either brewed potions or practiced spells in his room. Occasionally, he would lie on the chaise longue in his room, reading magic books or books on cultivation.
Although Jiang Yan and Hehuan Zhenren have already used the title of master and disciple, they have not formally become disciples and have not put their names in front of the master, and they cannot read the "Hehuan Secret Book".
In order to help his ignorant little disciple understand the world of cultivation as quickly as possible, Master Hehuan not only carefully read through his own collection of books, but also took a few books from his other two disciples and gave them all to Jiang Yan.
Among the serious books, Master Hehuan put himself in other people's shoes and included several trendy storybooks.
He also took special care of his young apprentice's blank slate and did not choose any stories with large scales. Instead, they were all pure love stories with talented men and beautiful women sitting under the moonlight, holding hands and saying sweet words.
But He Huan Zhenren did not expect...
Jiang Yan had no interest in the story under the moon and flowers.
I flipped through a few pages and put it aside.
If those books had not been sent by True Man Hehuan, they probably wouldn't even have had the chance to be hidden in the bottom of the box.
Jiang Yan still didn't know what a "furnace tripod" was.
The master only told him: "If someone insults you with this word, it is equivalent to insulting your personal dignity. Report it to the master immediately, and your senior sister and brother will help you put a sack on the person and beat him up."
Yan Yushan also echoed: "That's right, we can just blame the Xuanyin Sect later. We are very skilled at it."
If Jiang Yan asked again, he would only get an extremely perfunctory answer:
——"You are still young, you will know when you grow up."
“…”
Jiang Yan rarely felt depressed and frustrated, but he was tongue-tied and could not argue with his sharp-tongued senior sister and his senior brother who was very good at distorting right and wrong.
Even the master would only gloat over his misfortune and laugh at him without saying a word of help!
But he is already twenty-one years old.
Really not a child anymore!
**
Maybe it’s because Jiang Yan is too cute and the youngest in the sect.
Jiang Yan just looked depressed, and within half a day, several elders took turns to coax him.
"Okay, I don't mean to look down on you. We are just telling the truth." Yan Yushan chuckled, not forgetting to stuff a sugar pill into his junior brother's hand.
Jiang Yan took it subconsciously and thanked him politely. After the whole process was completed, he realized that he should not eat candy at this time, but should refute it.
He rewrapped the half-opened candy wrapper and said solemnly:
"Senior sister, you are wrong. I am already an adult, how can it be true?"
"Do you know how old we are?" asked Zhenren Hehuan.
"Five hundred and fifty." Jiang Yan said.
"That's me. What about them?" Master Hehuan raised his chin, indicating that he should guess the ages of Yan Yushan and Fan Yang.
Jiang Yan hesitated for a moment.
Once a cultivator has established his foundation, he has officially embarked on the path of cultivating immortals. His appearance remains unchanged for many years, and he will not age unless he volunteers or takes a pill that changes his appearance.
Just like Hehuan Zhenren, he is almost 600 years old, but he still looks like a young man of 27 or 28 years old.
If you want to confirm your real age, you can only use specific techniques to touch your bone age.
Both Yan Yushan and Fan Yang put their hands behind their backs and had no intention of letting him touch their bones.
Jiang Yan thought for a moment and said, "About a hundred years old."
——Young Master Gu is also about the same age, so it should be about the same.
Everyone laughed when they heard it.
"Not bad!" Yan Yushan said with satisfaction, "You must also say my age like this when you go out."
Jiang Yan: “Isn’t it?”
Fan Yang smiled and said, "My senior sister and I are both nearly four hundred years old."
Jiang Yan: “…”
Fan Yang gently touched his head and said compassionately: "Junior brother, now you understand, right? In our eyes, you are no different from a cub who just learned to run."
Jiang Yan wanted to say something but stopped.
Master He Huan: "It wasn't like this originally, but your eyes that day were too pure."
He coughed a few times and said, "The three of us have never met such a, uh, person with such a true and pure character. So, unknowingly..."
Master He Huan did not finish his words, but everything was already implied.
The three of them looked at Jiang Yan with eyes full of the love of elders.
Jiang Yan: “???”
Under this kind of gaze, Jiang Yan actually subtly ignited a desire to win.
It’s just dual cultivation, he will eventually be able to learn it!
"Yes, it will definitely work. I believe you, I believe you." The three elders were still perfunctory.
“…”
It was the first time that Jiang Yan had such a rebellious idea.
He unconsciously tightened the sword in his hand, his face was tense and his eyes were unfriendly.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Fan Yang immediately shouted: "Master, do you have any plans for today?"
Try to change the subject.
True Man Hehuan took out several brocade bags from the Sumeru Ring.
"Since we have nothing to do, why don't we go over our lessons?"
Everyone was cheered up, and Jiang Yan's eyes lit up.
The rumors are true!
The Hehuan Sect is so diligent that they even use every spare moment on the way back to the sect to study!
Yan Yushan rubbed her hands in anticipation and asked, "Which book will we learn today?"
He Huan Zhenren said: "Today we won't learn those nonsense things, let's talk about something else. Your junior brother is still here!"
Jiang Yan immediately said, "Master, I am willing to learn!"
He added, "If Master keeps treating me like a child, how can I ever learn and become a master?"
"Little Junior Brother, what you said makes sense." Fan Yang reminded, "Master, the rules of our ancestors are there."
Master Hehuan pondered for a moment, recalling the shocking secret he had just learned not long ago.
Yan'er protected him so closely, and she kept asking about Young Master Gu in her words and deeds, but she never mentioned a word about their close relationship, and just casually passed it off as "friends".
After hearing about the young master's past, he would unconsciously frown slightly and lower his eyelashes, thinking that others would not see the pain in his eyes.
True Man Hehuan once walked among a field of flowers without getting a single leaf on him.
He has seen too much!
Are we really friends?
Based on his intuition, he was willing to swear on his five hundred years of cultivation that it was definitely not the case!
Even if not, as long as Jiang Yan is not a blockhead, he will not lack suitors.
Master Hehuan fixed his eyes on his little disciple and gave him a mysterious smile that was meaningful and made Jiang Yan's scalp numb.
"It doesn't matter." He Huan Zhenren said slowly: "Yan'er is very talented, there is no need to rush."
Fan Yang narrowed his eyes, frowned slightly, and secretly gave his master a look of disapproval.
Fan Yang knew something, such as Jiang Yan's "friend".
But he did not agree with his master's point of view.
It was because he had vaguely seen through Jiang Yan's true nature - at most he was still uncertain.
Master Hehuan waved his hand, indicating that the topic should end there.
He asked everyone to sit down, pushed the brocade bag to the middle, and said with a smile: "Come on! Today's topic is - free discussion of interesting things."
Jiang Yan: What is interesting?
Is this also homework?
Yan Yushan and Fan Yang responded as if nothing had happened and each took out a book.
Jiang Yan: ! !
As the saying goes, a good memory is not as good as a bad pen.
Don’t worry about what the instructor is saying as you may not understand it.
Remember it later.
Jiang Yan reacted quickly and took out paper and pen.
His eyes are particularly focused.
Always be ready to write!
The other three looked at him blankly.
Fan Yang leaned over to take a look and saw that Jiang Yan had a blank sheet of paper in his hand with nothing written on it.
He Huan Zhenren was puzzled: "Disciple, you just arrived today, did you prepare the manuscript in advance?"
Jiang Yan shook his head: "I need to take notes in case I miss something important."
"Disciple is really serious." He Huan Zhenren praised, "You can remember it, but you must remember it carefully and don't let outsiders see this book."
"Yes!" Jiang Yan became more serious.
I guess what I will hear next must be a very important secret of the sect.
Maybe it's a secret manual of martial arts, a mantra, or a unique trick of practicing martial arts.
Master Hehuan opened the brocade bag and poured the contents onto the table.
Jiang Yan watched helplessly as a pile of melon seeds fell out.
"Let's get started." Master He Huan picked up a melon seed and said, "Yu Shan, start with you first."
Jiang Yan quickly cleared his mind and sat up straight.
Yan Yushan cleared her throat and opened the booklet.
She recited in a rhythmic manner: "On the ninth day of last month, Master Mingshi of Taixu Temple became very angry and gathered all the disciples in the temple together and severely reprimanded them."
Jiang Yan:?
His pen suddenly stopped and hung in mid-air.
He Huan Zhenren bit open the melon seeds and chewed the kernels while asking excitedly, "Why? Did another disciple return to secular life?"
Yan Yushan: "Yes! It is said that it is from the generation without a name, what is its name…"
Fan Yang: "Unintentional."
Yan Yushan shook her head and said, "This name is not well chosen. I really thought it out!"
Jiang Yan: ? ?
What are you doing? Aren't you in class?
He Huan Zhenren asked: "Who did this good deed? Could it be one of ours again?"
"Exactly! It's Senior Brother Fei."
Yan Yushan smiled mysteriously, lowered her voice, and said, "Senior Brother Fei has been with Wuxin for quite some time. When Wuxin was still in the law enforcement team, he arrested Senior Brother Fei several times, saying that he shouldn't read pornographic books in broad daylight, which was unsightly."
"It doesn't matter, they can watch it together in bed now." He Huan Zhenren commented sharply.
Jiang Yan: “……?”
Wait, wait a minute!
Master, what are you talking about!
Jiang Yan felt that things were heading in another direction that was beyond his control.
"So, Master Mingshi was very angry and strictly required his disciples to restrain themselves and observe etiquette, copy Buddhist scriptures every day, and stick to their original intentions. Most importantly, they were asked to stay away from the disciples of the Hehuan Sect," said Yan Yushan.
He Huan Zhenren smacked his lips and said, "Can this be blamed on us? Everyone has emotions and desires!"
"That's right." Yan Yushan echoed.
"Maybe there are too many disciples who have returned to secular life in the past two years." Fan Yang said, "This is already the eighteenth."
The three of them shook their heads in unison: "Taixu Temple is too weak!"
Jiang Yan: “???”
Fan Yang lowered his head to look at the booklet, "Also, Mr. He in the city married his 23rd concubine, but on their wedding night they discovered that the other party was a man dressed as a woman..."
Jiang Yan couldn't help but said, "Brother, wait a moment!"
Fan Yang looked up at him: "Hmm?"
After a pause, he seemed to see Jiang Yan's blank paper and suddenly said, "Oh, you haven't written it down yet? In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't have time to write it down. We have it all here. You can come and get it whenever you want to read it."
“No!”
Jiang Yan asked in confusion: "Aren't we going to class?"
"Isn't this happening right now?" Zhenren Hehuan asked curiously.
Jiang Yan stuttered, "Is this today's class?"
"yes."
The three asked in unison: "What's the matter?"
Jiang Yan: “…………”
So devastating.
What kind of master did he choose?
