Lin Shu blinked blankly: "I don't know."
When the people in the village handed the cylinder and the jade Huang they were carrying into his hands, they didn't explain what it was except saying that it was something left to him by the little fool's master.
Lin Shu only knew that this was a container.
A container with a special material that cannot find an opening method.
He hoped that there was a unique secret book left by the master hidden in it, which could change the meridians for him, so that he could start cultivation again.
If there is such a little cultivation, it will not be like today, facing the living dead girl, can only run away blindly.
Ling Fengxiao was still still and did not respond to him.
Lin Shu felt that this matter was very strange.
He tried probingly and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ling Fengxiao finally said slowly: "Is it your master left?"
Lin Shu: "Yeah."
He grew up in a small village isolated from the rest of the world, and he had no possessions. This kind of thing was very rare at first sight. Naturally, it could only be left by the master.
"Won't open?"
Lin Shu: "Yeah."
Ling Fengxiao seemed to take a few deep breaths and continued to ask: "When your master left it, what did he say?"
Lin Shu answered very honestly: "I forgot."
Ling Fengxiao: "..."
Just listen to the eldest lady in a deep voice: "You dare to forget this kind of thing?"
Pufferfish is back.
Lin Shu was frightened, and quickly sorted out his expression to make himself extremely docile, and then explained the truth to the eldest lady seriously.
"I've said it before... I'm a fool," he said. "It's only after fifteen that I wake up."
The eldest lady held the cylinder and said slowly, "Where's your master?"
"I haven't seen him."
Ling Fengxiao was quiet for a long time, and finally said, "Who am I?"
Lin Shu: "Miss."
"anything else?"
Lin Shu thought for a while and said, "Nanxia's... princess?"
"anything else?"
Lin Shu thought for a while and shook his head.
Against the candlelight, the eldest lady walked towards him.
Lin Shu nervously shrank into the quilt.
The eldest lady looked down at him condescendingly.
Lin Shu continued to shrink into the quilt.
Eldest Miss is not in a good mood, he can feel it.
Not the same as being angry.
Very complicated.
The eldest said, "I don't believe it."
Lin Shu:
After having known each other for so long, why does the eldest miss still not believe the fact that she was a little fool before
He said, "Really."
"That being the case," the eldest lady said, "I am just a person from Phoenix Villa to you?"
Lin Shu shook his head.
The eldest lady raised her eyebrows: "Huh?"
Lin Shu said, "It's still a classmate."
The lady's hand was on the handle of the knife.
Lin Shu tightened his body vigilantly.
"Classmates... If you accompany you, support you, and protect you like this, you will accept it all?" The eldest lady sat down on the bamboo chair beside the bed and looked at him without blinking.
Lin Shu didn't know what to say.
Except for the eldest lady, no one has ever been so nice to him.
His classmates and roommates in the previous life treated him blankly and ignored him, which was already a friendly treatment.
Someone treats him well, and he doesn't know what else to do except accept it.
To say thank you, I can only say a few dry words of thank you.
Feeling like I don't deserve to be treated like this, wanting to say no, and I don't know how to organize language.
Whether others treat him well or badly, it seems that he always accepts it in full.
So, Lin Shu nodded to Ling Fengxiao's gaze.
"You!" The eldest lady frowned and pursed her lips, looking completely angry.
Lin Shu looked at the eldest uneasily, wondering if he had done something wrong.
I saw the eldest miss with a pair of black and white ink pupils also looking at herself, with a cautious and stern scrutiny.
"you... ... "
Miss stretches out her hand.
Lin Shu stepped back.
The eldest lady's eyes softened, and her tone softened slightly: "Don't be afraid."
Lin Shu stopped.
The eldest lady pressed the quilt for him: "...You have a good rest."
Lin Shu nodded.
After thinking for a while, he said, "You can sleep too."
- The rain outside has lightened, but it is still falling after all. I am afraid the eldest lady is still not feeling well and needs to rest more.
Ling Fengxiao: "En."
Afterwards, the eldest lady took back the book that Lin Shu had put aside, put it back in its original position, looked around the room again, confirmed that everything was normal, and said, "I'm back in the room."
Lin Shu nodded, then remembered the cylinder: "That cylinder..."
"Jade," Ling Fengxiao said, "it is used to store precious letters and documents, and it is easy to open it."
Lin Shu: "How to open it?"
"At the beginning of Xu, when the sun disappears, it can be opened with a drop of blood from the fingertips of the designated person." Ling Fengxiao said lightly, "Since it is something left by your master, you can naturally open it with your blood."
Lin Shu: "Thank you."
The eldest lady smiled.
The very shallow smile, which is very smug, makes Lin Shu beat drums in his heart.
"Tomorrow, come to the atrium and open it." The eldest lady said, "Then, read to me, word by word, what is written in it."
Lin Shu didn't know what this meant, but the eldest lady behaved in her own way, so she nodded obediently.
The eldest lady continued to smile but not smile: "At that time, I'll take care of you."
Lin Shu panicked. After the eldest lady left, she tossed and turned on the bed, thinking about what the eldest lady meant.
And—where did you provoke the eldest lady again
He carefully went through the conversation between himself and the eldest lady just now in his mind, and a thought flashed in his mind.
Is there really something important in this cylinder
Otherwise, why did the eldest lady get so bad-tempered when she saw this thing, and then repeatedly asked herself if Master had any explanation when she left it.
With such a mood, he threw himself into the middle of the night and fell asleep in a daze.
During the whole day, the eldest lady did not appear.
What appeared in his house were the girls from Phoenix Villa.
Changing dressings, taking care of meals, it's just meticulous.
"The eldest asked us to come here and take good care of you," Ling Baochen said with a smile, "and to protect your safety, I said, Xiao Lin Shu, the eldest has never been so kind to any other man!"
Ling Baoqing snorted and said, "When you were outside the city of Minzhou, who would have thought you would have this day."
Ling Baojing smiled and said, "Lin Shu, you are really good-looking, and you are as good as a kitten. We all like it, so it's no wonder that the eldest miss likes it."
Lin Shu didn't know how to respond to their jokes, so he only asked, "Where's Miss?"
"Eldest Miss said, I don't want to see you today, just calm down and let us come here to take care of you," Ling Baochen's eyes flashed with curiosity: "I said, are you angry?"
Lin Shu touched his nose: "...it seems to be."
The girls groaned in unison, chasing after Lin Shu to know the cause and effect.
How could Lin Shu be able to resist, and finally had to use the Dafa of pretending to be dead. No matter how the girls were messing around, they refused to open their mouths. Only then did they escape.
Seeing that they couldn't ask anything from Lin Shu, the girls started to play on their own, chatting some gossip.
"I heard that the matter of the living dead has come to a conclusion!"
"How to say?"
"After Mr. Yue woke up, he learned about this and lost his temper. He said that the academy was indeed clean and there were no monsters. He said that the matter of the living dead must have been fabricated by someone to make things difficult for him."
"The old senior also really has the heart of a child, what happened later?"
"Later, in Miss Chu Meishao's room, Bei Xia's Sorcerer's Mark Stone was found. Everyone said that she was probably colluding with Bei Xia!"
"Yeah, is she actually from Beixia?"
"The sign stone is indeed a pattern of Beixia witchcraft. Therefore, even if she is not from Beixia, there must be Beixia's lackeys in the Academy."
"Then why did she become a living dead again?"
"I don't know that. The big sacrifice wine is still being investigated. It is said that several disciples suspected of being related to Beixia were actually found in Biyutian and Liulitian. Unfortunately, there is no concrete evidence yet. The lady said that a letter has been sent to the palace, asking Tu Longwei to assist."
"I hope this matter can be resolved."
"Exactly."
Lin Shu didn't know how this day passed.
Staying in the bamboo garden, reading books and thinking wildly, it was like a year.
In the distance, the sun was setting, and the time of Xu was approaching. He left his bamboo hut and walked to the atrium.
There was a teapot and two small cups in front of the eldest lady. She was holding one of them at this time, drinking tea slowly, and seeing him coming, said: "It's good to come."
Then he said: "The things in the jade, read it to me from beginning to end, and there must be no mistakes."
Lin Shu took a short sword from the bag, pierced his left middle finger, and the dark red blood beads gently dripped on the cylinder.
A layer of light suddenly shrouded the originally dull pattern on it, and after a few breaths, it became bright and clear.
Auspicious clouds, water patterns, and dragon and phoenix patterns in the center are very auspicious and festive.
It doesn't look like it's wearing a peerless secret.
As he was thinking, the cylinder clicked and a hole appeared at the top.
Lin Shu reached in, and sure enough he touched the paper, took it out, unfolded it, and it was a thin piece of rice paper with words on it.
The moment he saw the handwriting, he was slightly in a trance.
There is an inexplicable and distant familiarity in the strokes and strokes of the brush. He must have seen it somewhere, but he can't tell it anyway.
Looking at the young lady's relaxed look, Lin Shu began to read.
"Apprentice, see the letter like your face."
-Hi, it's a handwritten letter from the little fool's master.
"I have something to do for the teacher, go first, take care of yourself, and be careful not to die."
Lin Shu: "..."
The tone was too casual, not written at all.
He continued: "Your meridian is not good, don't worry about it, just have fun, don't tire yourself, there must be a way to the car to the mountain, and it has been arranged for the teacher."
ah.
Ling Fengxiao also said the same, and Shifu Master also said the same, if you want to ignore the meridians and play as you like, is there really any better way in this world than panacea and peerless exercises
As he thought about it, he continued to recite: "It's because of fate, don't go into it, in the dark, there are days, don't worry about being a teacher, you will meet by fate."
After reading, he looked at Ling Fengxiao.
The eldest lady looked at the cylinder and said, "There's more."
Lin Shu reached out and went in. This time, the paper he touched was much thicker. It was actually a bright red paper seal with what seemed to be a document rolled in it and tied with red satin.
Lin Shu held it in his hand.
It is a heavy object, the edges are slightly yellowed, the paper is very thick and solemn, and the back of the paper is pressed with auspicious patterns.
This pattern was connected with the dragon and phoenix pattern on the cylinder, the bright red paper seal, and the red satin sprinkled with gold, which gradually made him feel an ominous premonition.
Things are not simple.
... not simple.
Seeing the young lady's half-smile expression, Lin Shu took a deep breath and wanted to escape.
