Xu Tong followed Mr. Wenfan's gaze and stood aside silently. He did not say any words to comfort or tease him, but just stayed with the old gentleman silently.
Yes, such a decadent dynasty,
Such a person only knows how to exploit people,
The Manchu Qing Dynasty was a country where the rich and powerful enslaved the common people,
This stupid country is ignorant and closed off.
If it's broken, it's broken, so there's nothing to regret.
Xu Tong can think this way because he stands in the future and knows how bright the new era will be.
We know that in the future, countless unknown heroes will use their lives to catch up with the one hundred years behind us and realize the renaissance of Chinese civilization.
Therefore, he does not recognize, understand, or like this era.
So what if it sucks, in the end I just pat my butt and walk away.
It's just that I can comment on history from the perspective of the future, although doing so is being a hooligan.
But Mr. Wenfan can't. He was born in this era and died in this era. He doesn't know what the future will look like. He only knows that the Datong Dynasty has fallen, and his family will also die.
Mr. Wen Fan's life was very difficult.
It is clear that he has great talent and can make great achievements.
But just because he made a careless friend, he was wrongly sentenced to prison by the emperor and never had any official career again.
Ten years of hard study turned into nothing.
The most ridiculous thing is that even though the emperor later learned that he was unjustly accused, for the sake of face and the so-called royal dignity, instead of rehabilitating him, he was never hired.
For such a dog emperor, Mr. Wen Fan still needs to kneel down to thank the emperor for sparing his life.
Mr. Wenfan, who had nothing, looked at his classmates who were not as talented as him, and they were all high school gold medals, but he was living on the streets, making a living by selling calligraphy.
If he wasn't desperate, why would he be willing to be a gentleman to a bastard like Ma Hongwen?
Fortunately, he learned astonishingly throughout his life, and after his death he walked on the Shinto path in a daze.
In the eyes of others, this may be an unenviable opportunity.
But for Mr. Wen Fan, it was extremely cruel.
After his death, he could not sleep peacefully, and he could only watch the country and family destroyed, the mountains and rivers shattered, and the great dynasty perished.
Mr. Wen Fan raised his head and looked at the sky in the distance. A meteor fell from above his head.
The Forbidden Palace, which used to be full of dragon energy, has now eclipsed it. Ever since the young emperor was deposed by the Empress Dowager Shengci, the thin real dragon was completely destroyed.
So far, the weak dragon energy is hovering over the Forbidden City, but it can no longer gather a new dragon.
Mr. Wenfan knew that Long was dead.
There will be no more true dragons in the world, no more emperors, and the Great Tong Dynasty will also collapse.
For a moment, Mr. Fan looked helpless and bitter.
"You seem to be in poor health recently. I always feel that your energy and blood are always very weak."
After a brief silence, Mr. Wenfan finally realized that there was something more important.
He looked at the black mark on Xu Tong's forehead, which seemed to be much heavier than before, which made him worried about Xu Tong's future safety.
"Well, it's not a big problem."
Xu Tong touched his forehead and said with a smile.
"No! The problem is very serious. It is a matter of life and death. Don't take it seriously."
Mr. Wenfan frowned with a very serious look on his face. He didn't like Xu Tong's unattractive appearance.
Seeing that the old gentleman was angry, Xu Tong hurriedly explained: "Sir, you are worried about me, of course I know it, but the powerful Xunlong Taoist has already said that this is my fate, and I can't avoid it by hiding.
"
"Then did the Xunlong Taoist tell me if he had a solution?"
Because Xu Tong had been pulling Taoist Xunlong's tiger skin to cover himself, at this moment Mr. Wenfan didn't know that the person he was cooperating with was actually his student.
If Mr. Wen Fan knew that his student alone had absorbed eight-tenths of the merits, I don't know what his expression would be.
"Yes, he gave me a fake death pill and told me to take it if necessary to fake death and escape."
Xu Tong explained to the old gentleman sincerely.
"That's it."
After hearing Xu Tong's explanation, the big stone in Mr. Wenfan's heart finally fell.
But if that was all, he wouldn't worry.
"I've heard a lot of bad noises lately, especially around the house, and there are a lot of messy people staring at me."
Since Mr. Wenfan gained the merits of incense, he has been able to hear more things, and he can even go out freely as long as he wants.
Because Fuxian's reputation is getting stronger and stronger, there are sculptures of Fuxian everywhere. Strictly speaking, he is no longer a house god.
Rather, he is a god with merit cards and a temple. He is only one imperial power title away from being a true god.
So even without leaving home, Mr. Fan can hear and see many things.
"Just some little minions, not a big deal."
Xu Tong said disapprovingly.
"Oh, you are so confident. Could it be that Master Xunlong taught you some magical spell?"
Seeing Xu Tong's confident look, Mr. Wenfan couldn't help but curiously asked.
"this……"
After thinking about it, Xu Tong simply took out a piece of yellow paper in his hand and folded it into a paper figure at will in front of Mr. Wen Fan.
With the gentle flick of his fingers, the paper figures danced on his palm.
Seeing Mr. Wenfan's mouth twitching a few times, he looked at Xu Tong expressionlessly.
There was no need to hide the disgust in his eyes, and he just shouted: "That's it?"
Fortunately, Xu Tong pointed forward and saw the paper man flying out, leaving an afterimage in the air.
The next second, the wooden stake as thick as a bowl in front was cut into three sections and slid down neatly.
Seeing this, Mr. Wenfan put away his contemptuous eyes.
"This technique can kill people!"
The five-word evaluation illustrates Mr. Wenfan's recognition of Xu Tong's ability.
"But not enough to protect yourself."
The following sentence shows his attitude.
Xu Tong actually has some tricks up his sleeve, but it's really hard to show them in front of the old gentleman.
But when he heard what the old gentleman said, Xu Tong had a flash of inspiration in his mind: "Sir, Master Xunlong gave me a book, but I still can't understand it thoroughly, so my ability to control paper is just that, otherwise
Can you give me some pointers?"
As he said this, Xu Tong took out the [Papermaker's Book].
Although the master said that you need to study this book by yourself.
But the matter should be urgent.
It’s true that you have to hang on to your life.
Mr. Wen Fan took the book, read it carefully, and nodded: "It's not difficult, it's just..."
"That's all, in troubled times, even if this book contains side stories, it can still be regarded as a craft that can save your life and keep you safe."
It can be seen that the old gentleman does not like the contents of the [Papermaker's Book].
In his opinion, the things recorded here are all unfashionable martial arts.
There was obviously some gap between it and the high-end products such as Taoist magic that he imagined.
But then I thought about it, although those high-end products are good, they may not be suitable for Ma Hongwen.
Furthermore, the more authentic Taoism is, the more difficult it is to achieve early results.
Now that the country is about to perish, this kind of quick-acting and easy-to-practice Jianghu magic has quick results.
Thinking of this, Mr. Wenfan motioned for Xu Tong to sit down.
"Actually, the content in this book is easy to understand. Let me explain it to you paragraph by paragraph."
Mr. Wen Fan's talent and learning are naturally unparalleled. In addition, he has taught Ma Hongwen for so many years and has accumulated sufficient teaching experience.
Therefore, when he started learning, Xu Tong not only did not feel strenuous, but instead had a sense of enjoyment like listening to a master of classical literature reciting poems to him.
Even though Mr. Wenfan uses vernacular every time he translates, the combination of each word gives people a very comfortable feeling.
It doesn't take long to translate a book. When Mr. Wen Fan translated the entire content of the book for Xu Tong.
Xu Tong's understanding of the papermaker's book suddenly increased by leaps and bounds.
It wasn't until it was almost dawn that Mr. Wenfan closed the book and gave it back to Xu Tong: "My child, you are naughty by nature, but you are a blessed person. If you survive this disaster, you will have to start again in the future."
Be a human being.”
"Remember sir's teachings."
Xu Tong took the book and bowed to Mr. Wenfan.
Mr. Wen Fan nodded, and as the sun rose and roosters crowed on the street, his figure gradually faded away in front of Xu Tong.
After Mr. Wenfan disappeared, Xu Tong re-read the contents of the papermaker's book before throwing it into the prop book.
At this time, the [Papermaker's Book] flashed with flashes of light.
Xu Tong took another look and found that the entry in [Paper Craftsman's Book] had actually been upgraded.
