After making up his mind, he ignored the young woman and continued to eat and drink. After all, he was injured. He only ate a little before putting down his chopsticks and passing the dishes out. He only drank half of the bottle of wine and kept it.
The young woman didn't say much, packed up the dishes, picked up the food box and left.
To make peace with what has come is both a kind of open-mindedness and a kind of helplessness. You cannot leave, and you have to make peace with what is uneasy.
I have thought about everything I should think about, and if I think about it anymore, it will be useless and random thoughts. Since it is useless, why should I think about it? Sleep.
The stone room was very quiet and no one was disturbing me, so I fell asleep quickly.
After waking up, I tried to circulate the spiritual energy, but it still didn't work. Several acupuncture points on the meridians were stagnant and blocked.
"Would you like a cup of tea?" Li Chaozong's voice came from outside the stone room.
Hearing Li Chaozong speak, Nan Feng was not surprised. Li Chaozong was a master of Taixuan, and his ears and eyes were very sharp. From such a close distance, he might even be able to detect changes in his breathing.
"What time is it now?" Nanfeng sat up.
"It's the third watch." The sound of tea being poured came from outside.
"How many days have I been detained?" Nanfeng asked again.
"It's just two times." Li Chaozong replied.
Nan Feng stood up, stretched and yawned.
After yawning, Li Chaozong had already placed the tea cup at the square hole.
Nanfeng walked over, picked up the tea cup, and drank the tea, "Where are the donkey face and pig head?"
Li Chaozong naturally knew that he was asking about Xuanqing and Xuanjing, so he smiled and said, "I'm going back to the mountain."
"Where is Master Tianming?" Nanfeng asked again.
"Rest outside." Li Chaozong replied.
Nanfeng frowned when he heard this. If Tianmingzi really stayed, the future life would be difficult.
Li Chaozong must have guessed what he was thinking, and said, "From now on, I will take care of you on odd days, and Naruko will die on even days."
"I thought you all came down together." Nanfeng curled his lips. If Li Chaozong was watching, Tianmingzi would definitely not be able to act recklessly. If Tianmingzi was the only one who came down by himself, there's no telling what this guy would do to him.
"If the two of us come down together, I'm afraid you won't reveal the truth even if asked for ten years." Li Chaozong pointed to the tea cup held by Guan Feng, "Would you like another cup?"
Nanfeng nodded and handed the tea cup back.
Li Chaozong went back and brought the teapot over, and poured another cup of tea for Nanfeng.
Nanfeng picked up the teacup and was about to drink it when he suddenly remembered something, "By the way, whose idea was it to spread rumors and set up an ambush at Juetian Ridge?"
Li Chaozong smiled.
"You old fool is really cunning." Nanfeng also laughed.
"You're a very cunning little beast." Li Chaozong had a winner's calm smile on his face.
"How are you doing with the Heavenly Book you picked up in the Orc Valley?" Nan Feng teased with a smile.
"What a naughty rogue, he made me happy for nothing and wasted a lot of time for no reason." Li Chaozong was not angry.
Nanfeng drank the tea and said, "I need to pee. Get me a toilet."
Li Chaozong had already prepared the toilet for him. Hearing Nanfeng's words, he opened the stone door and brought the toilet in.
Nan Feng was in a hurry to urinate, so he moved the toilet to the corner and started to relieve himself, "I was careless and fell into your trap. This time I am convinced."
In addition to the toilet, Li Chaozong also prepared clothes and bedding for Nanfeng. When Nanfeng relieved himself, he was busy moving those things and did not answer any words.
"I think you are a smart man. Am I wrong?" Nanfeng asked.
"You Taoists believe that people are divided into noble and inferior. Do you think I am noble or inferior?" Li Chaozong took off the key from his waist, walked behind Nanfeng, and squatted down.
"What are you doing?" Nanfeng turned around in confusion. He hadn't finished urinating yet. As soon as he turned around, Li Chaozong dodged away. Fortunately, he dodged quickly and didn't get peed on.
"Unlock it yourself and come out to speak." Li Chaozong threw the key at Nanfeng's feet.
Nanfeng was not surprised by Li Chaozong's actions. Putting aside whether Li Chaozong was a good or bad person, whether he was sinister, despicable or upright, let's put aside for the time being. Speaking of his mind alone, he was definitely a smart man.
Nanfeng put on his shorts, picked up the key and unlocked the lock, then picked up the clothes and pants Li Chaozong had prepared for him and put them on. He came out of the stone room, walked to the stone table and sat down opposite Li Chaozong.
Li Chaozong had already taken the tea set back from the square hole. When Nanfeng sat down, he picked up the pot and poured tea for him. "You haven't answered my question yet."
"Noble or not?" Nanfeng asked back.
Li Chaozong nodded.
"You are a noble bitch." Nanfeng smiled.
"To be fair, I am indeed not a gentleman." Li Chaozong actually did not refute. He put down the teapot and looked directly at the south wind, "I need the Book of Heaven."
"You are so old, why do you still need the Book of Heaven?" Nanfeng asked casually.
If there were outsiders present, they would never see the relationship between the two as winners and prisoners. Only the two parties involved understood that the current harmony was only temporary and very fragile. The other party could fall out at any time. The reason why they did not immediately They fell out because both of them were making their own little plans.
"It is precisely because I am older that I need the Book of Heaven even more." Li Chaozong said calmly.
"Are you afraid of death?" Nanfeng asked with a smile.
"Aren't you afraid?" Li Chaozong asked.
Nanfeng thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I am afraid of death because I have concerns. I have no family, nor do I have as many treasures and beauties as you. My friends can live well without me. I am really not afraid of death. .”
Li Chaozong nodded, "It would be very sad and terrible for a person to lose his family."
"Yes, you can do whatever you want without thinking about the consequences." Nanfeng answered.
"It seems like you still have some unfinished business." Li Chaozong said.
Nanfeng didn't answer this time. He said that he was not afraid of death just to regain his disadvantage. But Li Chaozong was right in his words and suppressed him again. Clearing Tian Yuanzi's grievances had been his wish for many years. This matter How could he seek death without completing it
Li Chaozong didn't speak anymore. The two of them had already got straight to the point. It would be up to Nan Feng to see what his attitude would be next.
After a brief silence, Nanfeng tilted his head and looked at Li Chaozong, "What do you want me to do?"
"That depends on what you want to do?" Li Chaozong asked.
"What I want to do depends on what you will do." Nanfeng said.
They are all smart people, and there is no need to say something clearly. Even negotiations are conducted invisibly. Li Chaozong immediately answered, "What do you want me to do?"
"I don't like it here." Nanfeng said.
"I'm getting older too," Li Chaozong said.
"You don't have a clue yourself?" Nanfeng asked.
Li Chaozong did not answer immediately. He pondered for a moment before saying, "A little."
"You can have a little more," Nanfeng said.
Li Chaozong shook his head, "That's just a drop in the bucket."
"I may be negligent again in the future. Every time I am negligent, I am willing to pay the price." Nanfeng said.
"You yourself know that you rarely neglect." Li Chaozong said.
"It's just very few, not impossible." Nanfeng said.
Li Chaozong shook his head, "I'm older. Unlike you young people, I don't have a lot of time to look for and wait for opportunities."
"How many do you need?" Nanfeng asked.
"How many do you have?" Li Chaozong asked.
"How many do you think I have?" Nanfeng asked again.
"Five. If the piece of yellow paper you chewed up is a rubbing of the tortoise shell of the Golden Jade Temple, it would be six." Li Chaozong said.
Nan Feng neither admitted nor denied, "How many do you need?"
Sobriety and calmness are crucial. Both of them are carefully measuring the scale at this time, and they are also carefully testing each other's limits. Both of them know that if the request exceeds the limit that the other party can accept, the negotiation will immediately fail.
After Nanfeng finished speaking, Li Chaozong didn't answer immediately. If he didn't answer, he would have suffered a loss in vain. If you want more, you are worried that Nanfeng will fall out and you won't be able to get even one piece.
After pondering for a long time, Li Chaozong stretched out the five fingers of his right hand.
Seeing this, Nanfeng stretched out the index and middle fingers of his right hand. He had the same thought as Li Chaozong at this time. If someone caught him, he would have to pay a price. As long as the price was within his tolerance, he would Will pay a price for freedom. This has nothing to do with having backbone, but with being stingy and greedy. If you do something wrong and still want to avoid paying the price, nothing in the world is that cheap.
Li Chaozong's five fingers did not move, and Nan Feng's two fingers did not move either.
A stalemate, a long stalemate. The stalemate was not just a stalemate. During the stalemate, the two of them were also eagerly thinking and weighing things up. It was unknown what Li Chaozong was thinking. What Nanfeng was thinking about at this time was that Li Chaozong got it from somewhere. One heavenly book, and two more will become three. If he can understand three heavenly books, Li Chaozong should be able to cultivate to the level of earthly immortal. This is already a big temptation for Li Chaozong.
After a long stalemate, Li Chaozong pressed down his thumb.
If he hesitates at this time, Li Chaozong will regret taking the initiative to give in. Negotiations must be cunning and sincere. After Li Chaozong gave in, Nanfeng immediately extended his ring finger.
The stalemate is another stalemate. At this time, the two have already given in, and it will be very dangerous to give in anymore. If Li Chaozong is given four pieces of tortoise shell, Li Chaozong will have five pieces. If he can understand it thoroughly, he will reach the realm of immortals in the future. Although people are smart, they have evil intentions. If they get a taste of the benefits, they may take advantage of them and bite them to the death.
"I have gone through hardships and dangers, and you are just sitting back and enjoying the rewards." Nanfeng said sternly.
"Letting you go is equivalent to killing yourself." Li Chaozong also looked solemn.
"I have recorded all the tortoise shells that I have obtained and burned them. Unless I give them to you, you will never get them," Nanfeng said.
"If it were me, I would do the same thing." Li Chaozong nodded.
"Everyone takes a step back," Nan Feng held out his little finger, "I want your piece."
Li Chaozong frowned slightly, and after thinking anxiously, he nodded in agreement, "Okay."
After Li Chaozong finished speaking, he stood up and took the Four Treasures of the Study from the desk on one side, "Write it down."
"Unlock my acupuncture points." Nanfeng said.
"Write first." Li Chaozong insisted.
"First solve it." Nanfeng also insisted.
"As long as you don't cheat, I will not break your promise." Li Chaozong said seriously.
"Unlock my acupuncture points and I will write to you immediately." Nanfeng no longer gave in. To be precise, he did not dare to give in anymore. If Li Chaozong got four pieces of his tortoise shells, he would have five pieces in his hand. As long as he takes them Kill, Li Chaozong is the person with the most tortoise shells.
Li Chaozong was tricked by Nanfeng several times. He believed that Nanfeng was cunning and cunning, so how could he dare to trust him.
There was another stalemate, but this time the stalemate was not as balanced as the previous two times. Neither side dared to give in, and the stalemate lasted until the fourth watch.
"I'm sleepy. You should go back and think about it carefully." Nanfeng stood up. The stalemate has continued until now. The negotiation has failed. There is an inextricable knot between the two, that is, no one trusts the other. That's it.
"That's good, the days are long." Li Chaozong also stood up.
The south wind returns to the stone chamber.
"Don't make it difficult for me." Li Chaozong said.
Nanfeng glanced at Li Chaozong and put on the shackles himself.
"Tian Naruko will be here after sunrise, please take care..."
