"Um... Mr. Qi..."
Chen Tang hesitated to speak.
Qi Shan raised his eyelids and said calmly, "Just say what you want to say. I don't like people who beat around the bush and are not straightforward."
"Then I'll be frank - if it's convenient for you, Mr. Qi... can you let me follow you for a few days?" Chen Tang seemed a little embarrassed, "I know that my identity as a fugitive will cause trouble, and I shouldn't bother you, but I'm unfamiliar with the place, and I really don't know what to do..."
I hope that you can use your literary mind flexibly. Wouldn't it be a shame if you don't seize this good opportunity to get free extracurricular tutoring
This is a rare opportunity. If you miss it, you will never have it again.
If you can understand Wen Xin more, you will be able to better integrate into this strange world in the future.
Chen Tang made full use of his young age and miserable appearance, showing weakness in an attempt to arouse others' sympathy.
Qishan did not show any sympathy in his eyes.
He just looked at this innocent young man with his head down, looking pitiful, with great interest.
A newbie who has only a vague understanding of Wenxin Control dares to confront a third-rate Zanniao head-on and not lose. How can he be a poor little puppy
It was clearly a wolf-dog cub with sharp teeth and murderous eyes!
Although its fangs are still tender, it will eat people once it has the confidence.
Show weakness
This trick might be enough to fool others, but it's not enough to deal with him.
Qi Shan lowered his eyelids and played with the dark blue floral seal that hung around his waist as a pendant.
After thinking for a long time, he said, "It's not impossible, but - we have to separate when we go to the next town, otherwise you will regret it."
Chen Tang asked him in surprise: "Regret? Why?"
Qi Shan pointed at the sword on his waist and asked, "Do you think this sword is for decoration or a handy weapon?"
Chen Tang: “…”
Qi Shan smiled and said, "Young Master, don't think that someone is a good person just because he helped you once. I'm in much bigger trouble than you, a fugitive. It's not just me. If you see anyone walking alone outside in the future, be alert, no matter if they are wearing the Wen Xin Hua Zi or Wu Dan Hu Fu."
Chen Tang blinked and murmured in a low voice but one that Qi Shan could hear.
"...Mr. Qi thinks I am too naive."
Qishan sneered in his heart.
This young man is indeed not simple, but Chen Tang’s request is not excessive.
I'm just following. Anyway, I've already helped once, so I might as well help again. Just think of it as sending someone off to the west and making some personal connections.
The two of them built a bonfire in a leeward place.
Qi Shan took a nap with his hands clasped around the sword, but before he could fall asleep, he heard Chen Tang's stomach growling.
He opened his eyes and looked at the latter. Chen Tang covered his stomach and smiled awkwardly: "I walked for seven or eight hours wearing shackles during the day and only ate a stale cake. That's why I made an indecent sound... I disturbed your sleep..."
Chen Tang's stomach was making a lot of noise, and he couldn't pretend not to hear it.
So he took off the water bag and dry food bag from his waist and handed them over.
"Eat the cushion first."
Chen Tang was not polite to anyone.
"Thank you very much."
When the slightly cool and soft dry food slides into the throat and rolls into the stomach, the intense burning feeling of hunger is slightly relieved.
Even though she was extremely hungry, she only ate half and left the other half untouched.
Qishan was a little surprised, but didn't say anything.
Because of this episode, he lost his sleepiness and took out a scroll made of animal skin and saltpeter from his bag and began to read it carefully by the campfire.
Chen Tang vaguely saw the words "Word Spirit" on it, and his curiosity was aroused, and he "seemed" to be fascinated.
Qishan was stared at by her curious and bright eyes and couldn't concentrate.
He sighed slightly: "Curious?"
Chen Tang hugged his knees with his hands and smiled shyly: "Well, I'm curious! Wen Xin is really amazing, sir, can you teach me?"
Qishan said: "You are so rude."
"Didn't the gentleman say that you don't like people who beat around the bush and don't speak frankly?"
Qishan: “…”
He didn't teach anyone.
However, the scroll in his hand was not a rare item. They were all some well-known common words and spirits that he had sorted out. They were a compulsory course for strategists, and Chen Tang gradually came into contact with them when he went to a bookstore in a larger town or a college to study.
Furthermore, words are really stream-of-consciousness things, and most of them can only be understood but not expressed in words.
Some people can learn the same spiritual words, but some people will never reach the threshold in their entire life.
Only the words that suit you or that you can comprehend will give you the opportunity to master them and use them as easily as using your own arms.
"Look for yourself." Qi Shan generously lent the scroll, "If you don't understand, ask again."
Chen Tang took it out of curiosity, and was confused after reading just one line.
Qishan: "Don't you know the words on it?"
If that was the case, there was nothing he could do to help.
Shen Tang shook his head.
"I know the words above. I just want to ask, is something like 'looking at the plum blossoms to quench thirst' also a spiritual word?"
"Of course. Although it is as refined and short as the Wudan Word Spirit, its power cannot be underestimated. It is also one of the few Word Spirits that a strategist must master. If the caster has a strong literary mind and uses it properly, it can even determine the outcome of a war at a critical moment."
Shen Tang was stunned.
"Left or right... the outcome of the war?"
"Of course, this saying can boost the morale of the army." Seeing Chen Tang's suspicious face, he thought Chen Tang misunderstood that the words were very long, so he said, "This paragraph of words was originally very long, recorded in a false article, 'Wei Wu lost the way to the water source during the campaign, and the army was thirsty, so he ordered: 'There is a large plum forest ahead, with many plums, sweet and sour can quench thirst.' When the soldiers heard this, their mouths watered, and they took this opportunity to reach the source ahead.' But after being refined, only four words are left."
Shen Tang opened his mouth slightly, with an expression that showed he was about to open the door to a new world.
"So this... is scattered all over the place?"
Qi Shan said: "You can deploy your troops and play games with the enemy."
"Cut the grass at its roots?"
"It takes a lot of energy to strengthen the soldiers, so don't use it lightly."
Chen Tang pointed at the scroll and asked again: "Walk into a trap?"
Qi Shan said: "It is mostly used to deploy troops and disrupt the enemy's formations, causing them to lose their composure."
No need to ask any more questions.
Just look at Qishan’s densely packed notes and you’ll know that each one is used for marching and fighting.
No wonder he said he was not a good person.
Looking at these literary words and then at the simulated military formation drawn on the scroll, Chen Tang knew that this guy was an avid fan of attacking as defense and squatting in the bushes to kill people. The only thing missing was having "I am LYB" written on his face.
"Mr. Qi, I have another question."
Qi Shan believed her lies.
We've only known each other for a short time, but every two or three sentences she asks are questions, and after she asks one, there's always another.
but-
Thinking of Chen Tang's literary mind, he narrowed his eyes and became more patient.
"You ask."
Chen Tang looked at the back and found that there were not only Wenxin Word Spirits, but also Wudan Word Spirits.
To be honest, she doesn't really understand the difference between the two.
Aren’t they all good at fighting
"What is the specific difference between Wenxin and Wudan?"
Qishan: “…”
He once again suspected that Chen Tang was some wild man from some corner, and every question he asked was beyond his expectations.
