Ji Yuan's move just now made Hu Yun stare with his eyes wide open. Although that magical power was not directed at him, the wave of his sleeve just now gave Hu Yun a feeling that Mr. Ji was going to hold up the entire courtyard. He subconsciously shrank his body onto the stone table, as if he would be taken away by the sleeve if he didn't do so.
"Mr. Ji, what kind of magical power is this? It was so scary just now. I felt like I was being put into your sleeve."
As soon as Hu Yun said this, the little characters who were playing hide-and-seek with him burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha, there's nothing to be afraid of about the master's sleeves!"
"That's right, we stay in there every day, it's not scary at all!" "Yes, yes, sometimes the master can even let us see outside."
"That's right, Hu Yun, you should live with us. Stay in the master's sleeves and you will understand!"
…
Ji Yuan, who was thinking about the gains and losses just now, was stunned by Hu Yun's words. He ignored the noise of the small characters around him and turned to look at the red fox. He found that he had shrunk on the stone table, with even his fluffy fur sticking to his body.
"What are you afraid of? I just tried it out, and I couldn't even get the bee in. By the way, tell me how it felt just now."
After Ji Yuan said this, Hu Yun straightened up, recalled for a while, and said hesitantly.
"That's right, that's right. I can't really explain it. Anyway, I just felt that your sleeve was waving towards me, as if the sleeve was very big and wanted to put me in it. It was not black or white inside, but vague and very scary. Yes, very scary..."
Hu Yun didn't know why he was afraid of a sleeve. Logically speaking, even if Mr. Ji really wanted to put him in his sleeve, there was nothing to be afraid of. But he was so scared just now that he shrank onto the table.
“Is it like a swallowing feeling?”
Ji Yuan asked this question, and Hu Yun nodded and shook his head hesitantly, but still couldn't explain it.
"Okay, I got it."
Ji Yuan nodded and stopped asking Hu Yun about this. He thought that it was the same as the Tianqing Sword Force. Although the World in the Sleeve was far from being perfected, Ji Yuan had already mastered the use of force to some extent. If he could affect the force, he could influence and shock people's hearts, so people like Hu Yun who had poor concentration would be affected.
"Sir, you haven't told me what magical power you just used!"
Hu Yun was still very curious about this. He thought it was a very interesting magical power to absorb people, but it was so scary, so it must be not simple.
Ji Yuan looked at him, thought about it and then said it.
"This is a way of using a high-level magical power by lowering it by a lot, and that magical power is called the world in your sleeve."
"Oh... is it a magical power that absorbs people?"
“Haha, you are not wrong to think so. However, the Sleeves’ Universe can collect both people and things. It is a kind of magical storage ability that can store one’s own things and can also be used against enemies.”
Hu Yun looked at his tail.
"Then I have similar magical powers. My tail can not only collect things, but also be used to fight enemies! Hehehe..."
Hearing this joke, Ji Yuan couldn't help but laugh, and the small characters around him laughed even more exaggeratedly.
“Hahahahahahaha…” “Hahahaha, Hu Yun is going to make me die of laughter!”
“Hahahaha, this is so funny, so funny!” “That’s right, hahahaha, Hu Yun, you actually dare to compete with the master’s hidden talents, hahahaha…”
"What an ignorant fox, hahahaha..."
"That's right, do you know what 'the world is big in the sleeve, the sun and the moon are long in the pot' means?"
"That's right, within a small space, the Dao can contain thousands of things. This is the art of holding the universe in your sleeves. Do you think your tail can compare with the master's magical power?"
"Ha ha ha ha… "
This group of little characters laughed endlessly, and Hu Yun's cheeks also bulged out after hearing them. The little characters were going too far in bullying the fox!
Ji Yuan's mouth twitched slightly. These clowns were making fun of Hu Yun based entirely on the parts he had deduced on paper in the past...
"Quiet."
As soon as the master spoke, the whole Ju'an Pavilion was filled with the sound of falling leaves.
"This world in my sleeve has not really been completed yet. When I succeed in deducing it, it will be worthy of the saying 'The world in my sleeve is as big as the universe, and the sun and moon in the pot are as long as the moon'."
Although Ji Yuan said so, the group of younger brothers were extremely confident in their head master. So what if it didn't work out now? It would work out sooner or later. The head master's magical powers were all deduced by themselves, and they were all so powerful. It wouldn't make a difference if they praised them sooner or later.
Ji Yuan looked up at the top of the jujube tree. Just a moment later, more bees gathered around, flying up and down among the jujube flowers and then landing to collect nectar.
After picking up Hu Yun and placing him on the stool beside the table, Ji Yuan took out his writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone, and began to think and deduce while grinding the ink. When the ink was ready, he took a wolf hair brush, lightly dipped it in the ink, and immediately started writing on the paper.
Hu Yun watched from the side for a while and wanted to speak many times, but he didn't dare to disturb Ji Yuan. Seeing that Lian Xiaozi didn't say a word and just flew out to form various formations to fight, Hu Yun didn't dare to say a word.
The wait lasted from morning to afternoon. Ji Yuan's writing speed was obviously quite fast, but he only finished one page. This made Hu Yun feel confused.
The bored Hu Yun had already lit a fire in the kitchen, boiled water, and even made tea.
Fortunately, Ji Yuan finally stopped, put his pen aside and sat down.
At this moment, Hu Yun immediately rushed to the kitchen and came out of the kitchen two breaths later, holding the wooden tray with his claws and his head under the tray. He walked upright with the remaining two limbs. Although his posture was funny, the tray he was holding was very stable, and on it were brewed tea and four teacups.
"Mr. Ji, Mr. Ji, have some tea, please have some tea!"
As he spoke, Hu Yun gently jumped onto the stone bench and carefully placed the tray on the stone table. Ji Yuan found this action both funny and gratifying; this fox was still somewhat useful.
"Well, what do you want to ask of me?"
Ji Yuan couldn't see through Hu Yun's little tricks, but he was happy to sit down and pour himself a cup of tea.
After thinking for a while, Yuan waved towards the kitchen and summoned a spoon. He tapped the handle of the spoon and handed it to the little paper crane that had just landed on his shoulder.
"Go get me a spoonful of fresh date nectar."
The little paper crane tilted its head and looked at Ji Yuan. Although it had a head and a mouth, its mouth was not open. It could hold a piece of paper, but how could it hold a spoon? However, it still tried it and found that as long as its mouth touched the handle of the spoon, it could pick it up as if it was glued, so it immediately flew away with the spoon.
Hu Yun watched the little paper crane fly away, and when he saw Ji Yuan looking at him again, he finally mustered up the courage to speak.
"Mr. Ji, you used to cut paper figures last time. Can you lend me the scissors and yellow paper to play with..."
"Haha, you're still thinking about it after all these years?"
"I've always thought about..."
What kind of request was this? Ji Yuan stood up, went back to the house, took out the small bamboo basket containing yellow paper and scissors, and placed it in front of Hu Yun.
"It's no problem to lend it to you, but can you use scissors with your claws?"
"It's okay, it works!"
Hu Yun was a monster after all. He stretched out his right front paw and placed it on the scissors. With a turn of his monster power, he stuck to the iron handles on both sides. As his paw opened and closed, it was obviously effortless to use.
"Mr. Ji, do we just need to cut out so many little figures and press them together?"
Ji Yuan blew the tea in the teacup, squinted his eyes to look at Hu Yun carefully, and then smiled.
"Of course it's not that simple. Today I'm going to teach you how to cut that little guy, but you definitely can't train a guardian general like the Golden Armor Warrior, so you can only settle for the next best thing."
"As long as I can cut out a little man!"
Hu Yun showed a very happy smile on his face, and his heart was so happy that it was about to explode. He was not stupid, not at all. What Mr. Ji meant by this was that he wanted to teach him some skills!
Ji Yuan glanced at the fox. Although Hu Yun tried hard to keep his smile from being too exaggerated, the frequency of his tail wagging had increased several times, just like a happy puppy.
Hu Yun's character is just like a child who has grown up little by little. Now it is considered pretty good. Although this little demon certainly has his outstanding qualities, he is still too weak.
Although it is not a big problem to fool ordinary people, there is a saying that you see what you are in. As a monster, he will definitely encounter ghosts and monsters. It would be nice to teach him some skills.
A moment later, the paper crane flew back with a sweet fragrance, and the spoon was full of fresh flower nectar, which was brewed with jujube flower pollen from the Ju'an Pavilion.
The Hu Yun of today is no longer the Hu Yun of the past. Back then, he had to be forced by Yin Qing to learn to read, but now he can squat on a stone bench for three days and three nights just to learn some skills.
Ji Yuan just wanted to see when the fox would complain of tiredness or when it would want to rest, so he never stopped and kept letting the fox cut and giving instructions from the side. When the yellow paper was used up, he took it out from his sleeve.
By now the ground was covered with paper scraps, but Hu Yun had only cut out thirty complete yellow paper figures. His originally lively fox eyes were now bloodshot due to mental exhaustion, and both of his paws were trembling slightly.
"Take a break."
Ji Yuan finally asked Hu Yun to take a rest, but the fox was stunned and did not dare to put down the scissors.
"First, sir, you said that only thirty-six complete paper figures can make up the number of Tian Gang, so that the talent will not be wasted. I only have thirty..."
"Haha, okay, then you can rest after you finish cutting thirty-six sheets."
Ji Yuan added in his heart.
'Or wait until you get your hair cut again.'
What Ji Yuan didn't expect was that Hu Yun gritted his teeth, absorbed the spiritual energy in the courtyard, and at the same time, he forced himself to complete the visualization and cutting of the thirty-six yellow paper figures.
This is not just a show. Ji Yuan clearly saw the moment the cutting was completed. The thirty-six pieces of paper flashed with brilliant light in succession. The next step was a new stage. If he continued cutting, he could not waste any single piece, otherwise all his efforts would be wasted. But if he stopped here, the number of Tiangang would be enough to form a talisman.
"Not bad, not bad. You managed to do it in just three days."
Ji Yuan smiled and praised, but when he looked at Hu Yun again, he found that the fox was already staggering and unconscious. When Hu Yun was about to fall backwards, Ji Yuan quickly reached out to support him, then picked up the unconscious red fox and placed it on the table.
