In the following year, the young Fan Xian began to learn all about poisons from Mr. Fei who came from Kyoto, and occasionally took time out of the city to search for plant poisons such as nuxseeds and Barbados nuts. , I also tasted all kinds of fungi, and my stomach hurts countless times. If I hadn't had a poisonous master by my side, I'm afraid I'd have gone to hell a long time ago.
Of course, in order to learn all this in depth, under the leadership of Teacher Fei Jie, the illegitimate son of Earl Sinan has already committed numerous murders, countless little white rabbits with short tails, and the heroic souls of toads running around are buried like this Under his slender and weak hands.
This year, Fan Xian was five years old.
Strangely, since Fei Jie came to Danzhou Port, Wuzhu, who has been living in the grocery store, no longer seems to deliberately avoid Fan Xian. When the wine arrives, Wu Zhu will always help him make some side dishes to eat.
Fan Xian sometimes wondered, Wu Zhu was his mother's servant, so why didn't he even care about his own drinking
Fan Xian knew that his mother must not be an ordinary person, that's why he had a loyal and terrifyingly strong man like Wuzhu as his servant, but Fan Xian was not sure whether this blind master would always stay in the house. Be by your side, take care of yourself.
Somehow, subconsciously, Fan Xian has gradually gotten used to Wuzhu guarding him not far away, used to the black cloth covering Wuzhu's eyes appearing in a certain corner from time to time, such as under the bamboo at the corner of an alley. , such as next to the tofu stand on the street, and so on.
During this year, the zhenqi in Fan Xian's body maintained a slow but steady progress, faintly approaching a certain threshold, but the domineering zhenqi that can be accumulated in sleep has become a little no longer. Stability made him a little restless.
He knew that in this still unfamiliar world, there were many unknown dangers. At least in the Earl Sinan's Mansion in Kyoto, there must be many problems that he didn't understand very well.
And just after he woke up, he set a goal for himself: "Live well and make progress every day!"
Because of this "great" goal, in order to save his life so that he can carry out his three more "great" tasks in the future, he is very obsessed with practicing.
And because he suffered from myasthenia gravis in his previous life, he was unable to move all the time, so he could walk freely in this life, which made Fan Xian cherish this ability even more. He got up early every morning to exercise, climbing up and down, Diligent to the point that even Fei Jie finds it terrifying.
It's just a pity that there is currently no way to practice spells. In terms of diligence, he is definitely much more diligent than any child, but he often comforts himself that as a twenty-year-old young man, of course he must be more diligent than those little slugs.
In fact, no one knows that he is not able to endure hardships, but just has ADHD. After lying down for more than ten years, no matter how lazy he is, he will no longer want to lie down.
…
…
At night, in the room where Mr. Fei Jie lived alone, the light of the oil lamp had not dissipated. He leaned against the table, his gray hair seemed to be more black than when he first came to Danzhou Port. At this moment, he was holding a quill pen and writing something on the white letter paper.
There was a knock on the door, but Fei Jie said softly, "Come in."
Fan Xian pushed open the door, stepped across the high threshold, patted his little head, and approached with a smile: "What are you writing, teacher?"
Fei Jie didn't avoid him very much, he casually pushed the letter aside, turned around and asked in a harmonious voice, "What's the matter?"
After spending a year with Earl Sinan's illegitimate son, for some reason, this toxicology expert of the Overwatch Council, who has made countless officials and robbers frightened, actually feels a little warm in his heart. Looking at this kid is a heartfelt joy, little guy He is young, but he can bear hardships and is willing to study hard. Moreover, he doesn't have the contrived distaste for poisons, which makes Fei Jie very comfortable.
And the most important thing is that Fan Xian is very smart and sensible, and sometimes he doesn't even look like a five-year-old child.
"Teacher." Fan Xian moved his buttocks and moved onto the bench with some difficulty, "I really want to know what kind of people my parents are."
In fact, this was the fourth time Fan Xian asked about Earl Sinan's and his mother's past in a year, but the previous few times when Fei Jie asked, Fei Jie always kept silent.
"Your father... is a very remarkable person." Fei Jie said, "Of course, your mother is an even more remarkable person."
Saying is tantamount to saying nothing. The Overwatch Council is a terrifying place for the entire country to investigate major cases and major crimes committed by officials, and Fei Jie was an early member of the court, and later served as the director of the third office. He has always held a high position. They are all objects of fear.
It was such a terrifying poison master who was dispatched to the distant city of Danzhou by Earl Sinan to teach his illegitimate son.
With his toes, he could imagine how terrifying Earl Sinan's power in the capital was, but he didn't know whether this power was official or hidden in the dark.
As for the mother who died on the day of his "birth", although Fan Xian didn't know what kind of woman she was, his intuition told him that this mother must be very extraordinary, and he didn't know if it was because of the blood relationship of the body or what. For other reasons, he always felt that he vaguely missed that woman whose name he didn't know and whom he had never met.
Fei Jie didn't seem to want to talk about this question, so he asked calmly: "Since the concubine has already given birth to a son, it is naturally impossible for you to inherit everything in the Earl's Mansion in the future, so what are you going to do?"
Fan Xian smiled sweetly: "The teacher taught me how to use poison, and also taught me how to detoxify. In fact, I learned a lot of medical knowledge. If the future is really bad, I can become a doctor."
Fei Jie stroked his long beard under his chin, and said with pride, "That's natural. Even the imperial physician in the palace may not be better than me when it comes to medical skills. As my only student, you will become a doctor in the future. Nature is more than enough."
The master and the apprentice said so, but in fact they knew very well in their hearts that this was just an extravagant wish.
Fan Xian suddenly asked, "Teacher, there seems to be some problems with the True Qi method I practiced. In fact, I came here quietly tonight to ask the teacher for advice."
Fei Jie thought that no one in the world was better at using poison than others, but he always refused to teach Fan Xian other skills, because he always said to Fan Xian:
"Human life is limited, but the methods of killing are infinite, so we should devote our limited lives to the infinite pursuit of the most powerful method of killing."
In Teacher Fei's eyes, the most powerful method of killing people is naturally poisoning.
Now that Fan Xian has the best poisoning teacher, why is he still cultivating true energy? As for the spell that Fan Xian never forgot, Fei Jie, like most Qing people, believed that it was just a tasteless skill to aid in combat.
However, it was the first time in a year that Fan Xian took the initiative to ask questions. Fei Jie was also a little curious. He stretched out two fingers and tapped lightly on his veins, his face turned cold.
