During breakfast, Ning Yu happily asked, "Junior Brother Yun, have you read the book?"

Xiaodong paused, swallowed the cake in his mouth, and said honestly, "I only watched a little bit."

"It doesn't matter, read it slowly." Ning Yu also knew that those words were difficult to read: "Why don't I go find you after dinner, I just have nothing to do, so I can tell you what you don't understand . "It's not..."

"Then it's settled." Ning Yu smiled and talked to himself and settled the matter.

Xiaodong made him choke without saying a word, and took a big mouthful of porridge.

Although the vegetarian food is eaten on the mountain, the meals are very light. Sometimes it seems that there is not much oil except for a sprinkle of salt. It is strange to say that Xiaodong doesn't feel like eating as much as before, and wants to eat. .

He used to be greedy for meat, especially fried crispy meatballs, and big meat cooked in thick red sauce with green onions and ginger, such as elbows, fat chicken and big duck...

After going up the mountain, the master and senior brother also took good care of him, and often asked the kitchen to cook him some delicious food. But in the past few months, he found that he wanted to eat those things less and less.

Perhaps this is also because he has already stepped into the threshold of spiritual practice... He doesn't care so much about appetite. Sometimes after meditating, he feels very comfortable on his body and doesn't feel hungry.

Mo Chen smiled and glanced at Ning Yu, signaling him not to be too teasing.

Ning Yu just laughed.

It's rare to meet such a playful kid. The younger brothers and younger sisters in my family are all old-fashioned and tough, and they get tired of seeing them. How can Junior Brother Yun be so naive.

Sure enough, Ning Yu came here shortly after eating.

At first Xiaodong thought about whether to find something else to do and avoid him. But when I think about it, if he is a guest, I should at least be a landlord, right? Besides, it's not appropriate to avoid it after talking about it during breakfast.

Come on, come on, Xiaodong also took out the tea leaves made by the big brother, made a pot of spring water and cooked them. You can't entertain guests without a cup of tea.

Ning Yu sniffed as soon as she came in: "Are you making tea?"

"It's spring water from the mountain. I don't know if Brother Ning can get used to it."

"The water on your mountain is good, full of aura."

After the water boiled, Xiaodong poured water into the cup with a pot, while Ning Yu sat beside him and said with a smile, "Junior Brother Yun."

"What?" Xiaodong answered casually.

"Why do I feel that you seem a little afraid of me?"

Xiaodong shook his hands, some water splashed out, he put the pot down, wiped the water on the table, and said sullenly, "No."

"Then why do you always seem to want to hide from me?" Ning Yu asked with a smile: "Is it my elder brother who is not eye-catching? Or when did I offend my younger brother? Brother, don't talk to others, just say something straight That’s it. If it’s my fault, I’ll correct it and make amends to my junior.”

Xiaodong hurriedly waved his hands: "No, Brother Ning, you really misunderstood."

He felt a little uncomfortable when facing Ning Yu, but he couldn't tell why.

Before Xiaodong could come up with an explanation, Ning Yu naturally changed the topic: "Which book are you reading now?"

Xiaodong wanted to escape this question, so he quickly picked up a book from the desk: "This one."

"Oh, this is about formations." Ning Yu's collection of books is very miscellaneous, and the books she carries with her are not very well organized. The last time I gave Xiaodong a few books at random, this one was sandwiched inside. .

Ning Yu is interested in formations, and has collected a lot of books on formations. Although most of them have no real information, they are all legends and gossip. I didn't throw it away, I took it all with me.

"Why is Junior Brother Yun interested in this?"

Xiaodong shook his head honestly: "I don't understand this at all, but I saw a lot of pictures on it, so I picked it up and looked through it."

"Then what do you see?"

Xiaodong scratched his ears and said embarrassedly, "I don't understand anything."

Ning Yu smiled and put the book down.

"I don't know much about formations. This unique art has been lost for a long time. Now those who claim to be able to set up formations, more than half of them are liars, and they are able to set up a few simple formations. They are all left by their ancestors The formation map is drawn according to gourds, full of mistakes and omissions." Ning Yu shook his head: "It's okay to cheat a layman, but it's really useless when you meet a powerful character."

Xiaodong asked curiously: "Senior brother Ning, what about our mountain protection formation on Huiliu Mountain? I heard from senior brother that this formation has a long history and is very powerful."

"This is natural. I heard from my teacher that Li Zhenren got the secret book about the inheritance of this formation by chance when he was young. However, although he got the inheritance, the secret book was broken and incomplete, and the origin of the formation is not very clear. It is not complete, so although this formation is powerful, it cannot be of great use."

This is almost the same as what the big brother said.

Master is not reconciled to this matter. It's like standing by a big cornucopia, knowing that there are treasures in the basin, but just looking at it and being unable to hold it.

After drinking tea, Xiaodong was afraid that Ning Yu would ask some difficult questions, so he lowered his head and flipped through the book. Ning Yu sat at the side and took out the compass without any hassle.

Xiaodong feels a little apprehensive when he sees the compass now, because he is still not at ease after being frightened that day.

He still doesn't know how the compass points to him, and it's not easy to ask Ning Yu, so he can only read the book.

What he was flipping through now was that very old tattered book, the pages were brittle, Xiaodong didn't dare to use any force at all, for fear that the book might fall apart.

Looking at him, he gradually forgot that there was anyone around him.

At first, I didn't think the things written in this book were credible, but when I was halfway through the book, Xiaodong was fascinated.

According to the book, a scholar surnamed Cao went to visit his relatives and spent the night in a village in the countryside. At night, he dreamed that a man was strangled to death in the room where he lived and buried in the ground under the bed. Because everything in the dream was too horrifying, Cao Sheng asked people to move the bed and dig the ground after waking up. Sure enough, a man's skeleton was dug up under the bed. This man died in vain more than ten years ago, and now he was discovered. Because of what Cao Sheng saw in his dream, he quickly found the person who murdered him.

Xiaodong's heart skipped a beat.

This story is also about dreams... although it is a little different from his situation.

You can write it down and show it to Senior Brother later.

Scrolling down, it is about a woman who was rescued from drowning and was unconscious for three days. After waking up, she said that she went to her hometown hundreds of miles away when she was still unconscious, and saw her hometown Everyone didn't believe it. But when people came from my hometown during the Chinese New Year, they actually said that they did see this woman back in the past few days, and everyone was eating and talking together.
