Chapter 77 The air suddenly became quiet
I am most afraid of the sudden silence in the air.
"Mess...?" Xu Chuchu's confused little face wrinkled up.
Did she hear it wrong? Did something unspeakable happen after she passed out?
She looked at the servant, then at Xiao Yu.
The former covered his mouth, looking as if he had realized that he had said the wrong thing and was terrified and waiting to die.
The latter had a blank expression on his face, even his eyelashes and breathing were frozen.
"That's it..." Xiao Yu gestured stiffly and explained slowly, "Apply the medicine, apply the medicine."
"Oh, applying medicine." Xu Chuchu suddenly realized that this behavior might be easily misunderstood.
"Right, right, right, right!" The servant immediately nodded at Xu Chuchu. "He just applied the medicine and didn't do anything else. Really, you believe in this hero!"
Xu Chuchu: “…”
Xiao Yu: "Get lost."
The servant immediately rolled towards the toilet.
"Ahem..." Xiao Yu covered half of his face with his sleeves. "It might be the angle. He misunderstood something. Don't take it to heart."
It's really like shooting oneself in the foot.
Why did he bother to ask someone a question? Why didn't he search the surroundings before doing anything bad? Why?
Xu Chuchu was amused by his awkward reaction.
"Hey, I don't care. Why are you so nervous?" She patted Xiao Yu on the back. "You're blushing so much. I thought you were guilty! Haha."
Xiao Yu: “…”
"Since everything is fine, let's hurry up." Xu Chuchu didn't notice Xiao Yu's even weirder expression, and went back to Sanshan Zhenren's room to continue looting.
She was interested in Sanshan Zhenren's collection. Besides the treasures, there was another important reason. The mechanisms set up in the Taoist temple and the practice style of the old Taoist priest were very similar to those of her master.
It’s not that she also learned the sinister Taoist methods such as raising ghosts and skinning people to make puppets, but the basic mental methods supporting these Taoist methods are similar.
If there weren't two spaces between them, Xu Chuchu would have thought that Sanshan Zhenren was her master's fellow apprentice.
As for why, she still found it difficult to understand for the time being.
She opened a cabinet of books, rummaged through them, and suddenly said happily, "I found it!"
"What did you find?" Xiao Yu walked over.
"Cultivation secret manuals!" Xu Chuchu quickly flipped through a few of them, very happy. "So complete, even more detailed than the one my master taught me back then. I can practice from scratch without any problems."
The practice of physiognomists has been passed down from ancient times to the present day, relying on the master to guide the apprentice.
So, like traditional Chinese medicine and many other traditional cultures, they are being lost from generation to generation.
Some lack some mental skills, some lack some moves. Even if future generations study hard, they cannot bring the system to its full potential after practicing a set of techniques, which is somewhat a pity.
But now, Xu Chuchu accidentally got the complete version of the secret book, which can be said to be an unexpected surprise.
She was so touched. This was the first time she truly felt the benefits of traveling back to ancient times!
When Xiao Yu heard the words "cultivate from scratch", he almost blurted out something, but then held it back.
He casually flipped through a few pages of the cultivation manual and found that he knew every word on it, but he couldn't recognize them when they were connected together. He couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Yes, Xu Chuchu said that the talent of a physiognomist is a gift from God.
How could someone like him, who was cursed by God since birth, enjoy this gift?
Xu Chuchu was busy packing up the looted treasures. When he looked up, he casually pulled a Taoist talisman off Xiao Yu's back.
"A talisman for children's nocturnal enuresis?" She recognized the pattern on the talisman with surprise. "Why are you putting this on? Have you been wetting the bed recently?"
"What are you thinking?" Xiao Yu was helpless. He grabbed the talisman paper, crumpled it up and threw it away. "Of course I didn't put this on. It was Master Sanshan who put it on during the fight."
"If you want to fight, just fight. Why put on a talisman to prevent bedwetting? Is that an insult to your tactics?" Xu Chuchu suppressed a laugh. "This person is really funny."
She glanced around casually and found some Taoist talismans that Xiao Yu had torn off and thrown on the ground, so she picked them up and looked at them for a few more seconds.
In addition to the talismans for children's nocturnal enuresis, there are also some completely useless talismans for soothing the soul and talismans for suppressing ghosts... In addition to these, there are also several high-level talismans for immobilization and hypnosis.
Only then did she vaguely realize that after she fell into a coma, the situation Xiao Yu faced was much more dangerous than she had imagined.
"He used a talisman to immobilize you. How did you get rid of it?" Xu Chuchu asked Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu was still helping Xu Chuchu sort out the mess of treasures and said casually, "What immobilization talisman? He must have run out of energy. He put all over me, but none of them worked. I don't know what the talisman is."
"That shouldn't be the case." Xu Chuchu frowned. The Taoist talismans were all written in advance. When using them, one only needed to inject a trace of spiritual power. It made no sense that they wouldn't have any effect.
unless……
Xu Chuchu suddenly remembered the pattern of the brocade boa constrictor that she had seen on Xiao Yu before.
Could it be that she had seen it wrong? Wasn't that a brocade-scaled anaconda?
"What's wrong with you?" Xiao Yu waved his hand in front of Xu Chuchu's dazed eyes, not guessing that she was thinking about what excuse to find to tear off his clothes and take another look.
"Nothing." Xu Chuchu came back to her senses. "The talisman didn't work because of your special physique. If I had your physique, I would have defeated Sanshan Zhenren long ago."
She said this, her tone full of envy.
"You mean..." Xiao Yu hesitated, "My physique is suitable for cultivation?"
"Yes, as for the Pure Yang Body, no one is suitable for you." Xu Chuchu nodded as a matter of course.
Xiao Yu replied without thinking: "Then can I practice too?"
"Yes, yes..." Xu Chuchu looked puzzled after hearing this. "Anyone can learn this, it's just a matter of talent. But why are you practicing it?"
Xiao Yu was also puzzled when he heard this: "Why don't I need to practice?"
"Because you're rich and influential." Xu Chuchu hadn't expected Xiao Yu to ask her a question she thought was perfectly natural. "If you have any problems, just pay a fortune teller, just like you did with me. Why put yourself through this hardship? Look, there's no rich kid learning to be a fortune teller."
Perhaps to outsiders, physiognomy is a mysterious and powerful profession, but in the eyes of physiognomists themselves, they are no different from other people who work hard to survive.
Just like embroiderers make money with their needlework skills, secret guards make a living with their superb martial arts, and fortune tellers survive in the world with their unique expertise.
Not to mention that fortune tellers are more likely to encounter dangerous people and things, and they may lose their lives if they are not careful. Most of those who choose to become fortune tellers are children from poor families or orphans who have nowhere else to go, such as Xu Chuchu.
But Xiao Yu obviously didn't think so.
"What if I really want to learn?" he asked bluntly, "Can you teach me?"
