Chapter 45
Lin Shu blinked blankly: "I don't know."
When the people in the village handed the cylinder and the jade that they were carrying into his hands, they didn't explain what it was, except that it was left to him by the little fool's master.
Lin Shu only knew that this was a container.
A container with a special material and no way to open it.
He hopes that the masterpiece secret book left by the master is hidden inside, which can change his meridians so that he can start practicing again.
If there is such a small amount of cultivation base, it will not be like today, facing the girl of the living dead, can only flee blindly.
Ling Fengxiao was still still and did not respond to him.
Lin Shu thought this matter was very strange.
He tentatively asked: "What's wrong?"
Ling Fengxiao finally said slowly: "Did your master leave it?"
Lin Shu: "Yeah."
He grew up in a small village isolated from the rest of the world. He has no long objects. This kind of rare thing at first glance can only be left by Master.
"Won't open?"
Lin Shu: "Yeah."
Ling Fengxiao seemed to take a few deep breaths, and continued to ask: "What did your master say when he left it?"
Lin Shu answered very honestly: "I forgot."
Ling Fengxiao: "..."
Just listen to the eldest lady's solemn voice: "Do you dare to forget this kind of thing?"
Pufferfish are back.
Lin Shu was frightened, and quickly sorted out his expressions to make himself extremely docile, and then carefully explained the truth to the lady.
"I've said before...I'm a fool," he said, "I only wake up after fifteen."
The eldest lady took the cylinder and said slowly: "Where is your master?"
"I haven't seen him."
Ling Fengxiao was quiet for a long time, and finally said, "Who am I?"
Lin Shu: "Miss."
"anything else?"
Lin Shu thought for a while and said, "The...Princess of Southern Xia?"
"anything else?"
Lin Shu thought for a while and shook his head.
Against the candlelight, the eldest lady walked towards him.
Lin Shu shrank into the quilt nervously.
The young lady looked down at him condescendingly.
Lin Shu continued to shrink into the quilt.
The eldest lady is not in a good mood, he can feel it.
It's not the same as being angry.
Very complicated.
Missy said: "I don't believe it."
Lin Shu:?
After having known each other for so long, how come the eldest lady still doesn't believe that she was a little fool before?
He said: "Really."
"That's the case," the eldest lady said, "I am only from Phoenix Villa?"
Lin Shu shook his head.
Missy raised her eyebrows: "Huh?"
Lin Shu said, "Still a classmate."
The eldest lady's hand was pressed on the handle of the knife.
Lin Shu tightened his body vigilantly.
"Classmate...I will accompany you like this, support you, and protect you, so you will accept it all?" The eldest lady sat down on the bamboo chair by the bed and looked at him without blinking.
Lin Shu didn't know what to say.
Except for the eldest, no one has ever treated him this way.
The classmates and roommates of the previous life were expressionless and ignored him. It was already friendly treatment.
Someone treats him well, and he doesn't know what else to do except accept.
Say thank you, you can only say a few dry thank you.
I feel I don't deserve to be treated like this, I want to refuse, but I don't know how to organize the language.
Whether others treat him good or bad, it seems that they always accept it in full.
So Lin Shu nodded to Ling Fengxiao's gaze.
"You!" The eldest lady frowned, pursing her lips, she was completely angry.
Lin Shu looked at her anxiously, wondering if she had done something wrong.
I saw the eldest lady's black and white pupils also looking at herself, with a careful and stern scrutiny.
"you......"
Missy stretched out her hand.
Lin Shu shrinks back.
The eldest lady's eyes softened, and her tone softened slightly: "Don't be afraid."
Lin Shu stopped.
The eldest lady pressed the quilt for him: "...you have a good rest."
Lin Shu nodded.
After thinking for a while, he said: "You go to sleep too."
ββThe rain outside has been reduced, but it is still going down after all. I am afraid that the eldest lady is still uncomfortable and needs more rest.
Ling Fengxiao: "Yeah."
Afterwards, the eldest lady took back the book Lin Shu had put aside, put it back in its original position, looked around the room again, confirmed that everything was normal, and said, "I'm back to the room."
Lin Shu nodded, then thought of the cylinder again: "That cylinder..."
"Yuzhen," Ling Fengxiao said, "it is used to store precious letters and documents. It is easy to open it."
Lin Shu: "How to open?"
"At the beginning of the day, the sunlight disappeared at first, and you can open it with the blood of a designated person's fingertips." Ling Fengxiao said lightly, "Since it is something left by your master, you can naturally open it with your blood."
Lin Shu: "Thank you."
Missy smiled.
The extremely faint smile, with so little meaning not to smile, made Lin Shu beat a drum in his heart.
"Tomorrow, come to the atrium and open it." The eldest lady said, "Then, read what is written in it, word by word, to me."
Lin Shu didn't know what this meant, but the eldest lady acted in her own way, so she nodded obediently.
The eldest lady continued to smile but not smile: "At that time, I will pack you."
Lin Shu was panicked. After the eldest lady left, she tossed about on the bed, thinking about what she meant.
And-where did you provoke the eldest lady again?
He went through the conversation he had just had with the eldest lady in his mind carefully, and a thought flashed through his mind.
Is there really something important in this cylinder?
Otherwise, after seeing this thing, the eldest lady became so bad-tempered, and then asked herself again and again if she had any explanations when she left it.
With this feeling, he threw himself into the middle of the night and fell asleep in a daze.
During the day, the eldest lady did not show up.
The girls from Phoenix Villa appeared in his house.
Changing the dressing, taking care of the meals, is almost meticulous.
"The eldest lady told us to come here and take good care of you," Ling Baochen smiled, "I also need to protect your safety. I said, Xiaolin Shu, the eldest has never been so good to any other man!"
Ling Baoqing "hummed" and said, "At the beginning, outside of Min Prefecture, who would have thought you would have this day."
Ling Baojing smiled and said: "Lin Shu, you are really good-looking, and you are as good as a kitten. We all like it when we look at it, and it's no wonder Missy likes it."
Lin Shu didn't know how to respond to their jokes, and only asked, "Where is the eldest lady?"
"The eldest lady said, I don't want to see you today, so please calm down and let us come here to take care of you," Ling Baochen's eyes flashed curiously: "I said, are you angry?"
Lin Shu touched his nose: "...it seems to be."
The girls screamed together, chasing Lin Shu to know the cause and effect.
No matter where Lin Shu was able to fight, he had no choice but to pretend to be dead. No matter how arrogant the girls were, they were determined not to speak. Only then did they escape.
Seeing that Lin Shu couldn't ask anything, the girls started playing on their own and chatted about gossip.
"I heard that the matter of the living dead has come to a conclusion!"
"How to say?"
"After waking up, Mr. Yue lost his temper and said that the learning palace was really clean and there were no monsters, and that the matter of the living dead must have been fabricated to make things difficult for him."
"The old man is really innocent, what happened later?"
"Later, in Miss Chu Meisiao's room, the wizard's mark stone of North Xia was discovered. Everyone said that she might be in collusion with North Xia!"
"Ah, is she from North Xia?"
"The sign stone is indeed a pattern of North Xia witchcraft. Therefore, even if she is not from North Xia, there must be a North Xia running dog in the learning palace."
"Then why did she become the living dead again?"
"I don't know this. The wine is still being investigated. In this investigation, it is said that several disciples suspected to be related to North Xia were actually found in Biyutian and Liulitian. Unfortunately, there is still no real evidence. The young lady said that she had sent a letter to the palace and asked Tu Longwei to help."
"I hope this will come to an end."
"Exactly."
Lin Shu didn't know how this day passed.
Staying in the bamboo garden, reading indiscriminately, thinking wildly, it's almost like years, and don't know how long it has passed, and finally it's dusk.
In the distance, the west is dwindling, and when the hour is approaching, he leaves his bamboo house and walks to the atrium.
There was a teapot and two small cups in front of the eldest lady. At this moment, she was holding one of them and drinking tea slowly. Seeing him come, she said, "Just come."
Then he said: "The things in the jade η¬₯, read to me from beginning to end, without making any mistakes."
Lin Shu took a short sword from the kit and pierced his left middle finger. The red blood bead gently dripped on the cylinder.
A layer of light suddenly enveloped the originally dim pattern on it, and after a few breaths, it became vivid and clear.
Auspicious clouds, water patterns, dragon and phoenix patterns in the center, very auspicious and festive.
It's not like pretending to be a peerless secret book.
As he was thinking, the cylinder clicked, revealing a hole at the top.
Lin Shu reached in and touched the paper, took it out, and unfolded it. It was a thin piece of rice paper with writing on it.
The moment he saw this handwriting, he was in a daze.
The strokes, the strokes, there is a kind of inexplicable, distant familiarity, he must have seen it somewhere, but he can't tell it anyway.
Looking at the eldest lady's expression of leisure, Lin Shu began to read.
"Apprentice, see the letter like face."
-His, it's a handwritten book by the little fool's master.
"If you have something to do for the teacher, go first. Take care of yourself and be careful not to die."
Lin Shu: "..."
The tone is too casual, not written at all.
He continued: "Your meridians are not good. Don't take it to your heart. Just have fun. Don't tire yourself. There must be a way to the mountain. The teacher has arranged it."
Yeah.
Ling Fengxiao said the same, and cheap master said the same. If you don't care about your meridians and have fun at will, is there really any better method in this world than the miraculous medicine and the peerless exercises?
As he thought, he continued to read: "Cause and destiny will meet. Don't go into it. In the dark, you have your own number of days. Don't worry about being a teacher. If you have destiny, you will meet."
After reading, he looked at Ling Fengxiao.
The eldest lady looked at the cylinder and said, "There is more."
Lin Shu stretched his hand in. This time, the paper he felt was much thicker. It turned out to be a bright red paper seal with something that seemed to be a document wrapped in red satin.
Lin Shu took it in his hands.
A heavy thing, the edge is slightly yellowed, the paper is very thick and solemn, and the back of the paper is pressed with auspicious patterns.
This pattern was connected with the dragon and phoenix patterns on the cylinder, the bright red paper seal, and the red satin sprinkled with gold, which gradually made him feel an ominous premonition.
Things are not simple.
...Not simple.
Seeing the eldest lady's smile, Lin Shu took a deep breath and wanted to escape.
