"Let's go." Bai Cangdong said nothing more lazily, then hugged Xixi and left the Xuanji Pavilion.
"What a master, he's just a snobbery." Fengxian was also a little unhappy.
"Forget it, we don't have to do it with him. If he doesn't want to go, we can just find someone else." Although Bai Cangdong was a little angry, he didn't take it too seriously.
"What a shabby book you have. It's basically harmful to people. You still want to use it to pay off debts. Do you really think we are fools?" A loud voice suddenly came from the other side.
"Sir, this is really a magic of longevity. How dare I lie to you? I spent a lot of money to buy it. It will definitely last more than ten years. Just be kind and let me pay off the debt."
One person begged hard.
"Ten years of life, you better keep your bullshit immortality technique to yourself. I'll give you three more days. If you can't pay back the debt by then, don't blame me for throwing you into the sea to feed the fanged beasts." The man from before said
The book was thrown in the face of the begging man, and he walked away with a look of dismay on his face.
"It's really pitiful. A good family went bankrupt just because their son broke a viscount's beloved glass cup. They borrowed money to pay back the glass cup. They managed to pay back the glass cup, but they owe a huge debt. It's really
What a sin." Someone nearby started talking.
"Ten-year life scale, right? I bought your longevity book." Fengxian picked up the book that fell on the ground, flipped through it, and said to the man.
"Do you really want to buy this longevity book?" The man quickly got up.
"Of course it's true." Fengxian transferred the ten-year life scale to that person.
"Thank you, thank you Miss, Miss, I will definitely have a blessed life and a long life..." The man left with a lot of gratitude.
"Is there anything special about this longevity spell?" Bai Cangdong asked curiously.
"There's nothing special about him, I just pity him." Fengxian shook his head.
"You are becoming more and more kind-hearted now. I can't imagine you being so noble and cool before." Bai Cangdong said with a smile.
"Am I not sexy and beautiful in your eyes?" Fengxian looked back and smiled, making Bai Cangdong's eyes light up.
"Brother Bai, you are indeed here. How about it? Have you hired any craftsmen?" Li Yan and Chen Xifeng ran over panting.
"Forget it, Master Wu looks down on us. He wants to follow the president of your chamber of commerce to build warships." Bai Candong said.
"We just came to tell you, Brother Bai, that the president has invited Master Wu and we must leave immediately and rush back overnight. We can't drink with you, Brother Bai." Chen Xifeng said depressedly.
"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. If you are not happy in the Great Sword Merchant Guild, come to Evil Ghost Island to find me as soon as possible. Although the conditions here are not as good as mine, the advantage is that we can fight together." Bai Cangdong said with a smile.
"Brother Bai, don't worry, we will definitely find you after we are promoted to Viscount." Li Yan and Li Yan wanted to say something else, but someone was already calling them over there, so they had no choice but to say goodbye and leave.
Not far away, Chen Xifeng ran back quickly and said to Bai Candong: "Brother Bai, I heard that there is a master craftsman who is good at construction in the south of Shiquan Island. However, due to some things, the situation is very bad now.
If you really must find a master craftsman, you can go and have a look."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Bai Cangdong to speak, he trotted away after Li Yan and others.
"These two friends of yours are kind-hearted. Why don't you bring them back to Devil's Island together?" Fengxian looked at Bai Candong strangely and said.
"Of course you women don't understand things between men. Even if I drag them here now, they won't be happy. When they are promoted to Viscount, even if I don't come to them, they will happily come to me."
"Strange animals." Fengxian rolled his eyes at Bai Cangdong.
"Let them exercise at the sea. The environment in Daolun City is really too comfortable. It can easily make people become decadent. It is not as tough as the sea." Bai Candong said with a smile.
"What should we do now? Should we go south to find the master architect?"
"How can I find someone who has no name or surname? It's better to find a master for Xixi to teach her how to read and write."
After Bai Cangdong inquired for a while, he quickly found out about several well-known masters on Shiquan Island. However, they all taught martial arts or immortality skills. Reading and literacy were only supplementary. Only one of them was special. They mainly taught people.
Reading, and then various miscellaneous subjects such as music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
The man's name is Qu Dongliu. Not only is he proficient in various miscellaneous studies, but his wife is also a learned person, good at divination, astrology, gardening and cooking. Both of them are viscounts, but they never teach others.
Martial arts and immortality.
Bai Cangdong became very interested in Qu Dongliu and Mrs. Qu. It doesn't matter if he doesn't teach martial arts and immortality. There are many masters in this field on Evil Ghost Island, but the Qu and his wife's various miscellaneous studies can just fill the gap.
Xi had so much free time that she had no time to think about strange questions.
It is not difficult to find the place where Qu Dongliu lives. In an ordinary small courtyard, a man is teaching several children to play the piano. Naturally, the sound of the children's piano cannot be very pleasant, but it can be seen that they are all very serious.
Studying piano.
"Your Excellency, are you Mr. Qudong Liuqu?" Bai Cangdong waited for a moment and saw the man approaching, then he asked.
"Yes, I am Qu Dongliu. I wonder who you are?" Qu Dongliu looked at Bai Candong and asked.
"I'm Bai Cangdong, this is my sister Xixi. I would like to ask my husband to teach her reading, literacy and various miscellaneous studies." Bai Cangdong said.
"Study here, you have to submit a year's life score every month, and teach for two hours every afternoon. The first and fifteenth day of the lunar month are rest days..."
"Mr. Qu misunderstood. I want to ask him to go back with us and teach my sister alone." Bai Cangdong interrupted Qu Dongliu.
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. I only teach at home and have no plans to teach at home, let alone leave Shiquan Island." Qu Dongliu refused directly.
"As long as Mr. Qu is willing, the scale of life is never a problem." Bai Cangdong said quickly.
"This has nothing to do with the scale of life. Qu has been quite smart since he was a child, but because he was too distracted and learned too much, he learned too many things, and he couldn't bear to lose what he learned, so he taught here. So please
I'm sorry that I can't go with you."
"Since Sir wants to pass on what he has learned, he should teach my sister more. Xixi is naturally smart and can learn everything immediately. She will definitely inherit Mr. Qu's legacy."
Qu Dongliu smiled faintly: "What I have learned in my next life is too comprehensive and cannot be inherited by just one person. That's why I teach my skills here. You'd better please come back."
When Bai Cangdong saw Qu Dongliu's appearance, he knew that words alone could not impress him, so he smiled and said, "Since Mr. Qu is so confident in himself, how about we make a bet?"
"I'm not a gambler. Please forgive me for teaching those children, so I won't spend more time with you." Qu Dongliu turned around and was about to return to the hospital.
"Mr. Qu thinks that his knowledge is so vast that no one can inherit your mantle alone. I wonder if you dare to compete with my sister. You and she each offer ten kinds of knowledge or skills for the other to learn. If it were my sister,
If we were unable to learn any of Mr. Qu's skills within the stipulated time, we turned around and left immediately and would never bother him again. If my sister could learn them all within the time limit, or if the husband could not learn the skills my sister performed,
How about I ask you, sir, to come with us and teach my sister the skills?"
"Are you kidding me?" Qu Dongliu turned around and glared at Bai Candong.
"I have never been in the habit of joking with strangers." Bai Cangdong said calmly.
"It doesn't matter, there are too many arrogant and arrogant people in this world. If I don't send you away, I will never find peace. There is no need to ask ten questions. I only need to play a song. If this little sister can learn it, I will do it.
You go, if you can't, please leave immediately." Qu Dongliu walked to the courtyard, sat down in front of the piano, plucked his fingers on the strings, and the flowing sound of the piano suddenly flowed out from the strings.
Although Bai Cangdong is not familiar with music, he can still tell that Qu Dongliu's piano skills are very superb. Just the touching melody makes people excited and unable to control themselves.
After the song ended, Qu Dongliu gave up his seat and made a gesture of invitation to Bai Candong.
"Xi Xi, go play the piece just now." Bai Cangdong placed Xi Xi in front of the piano in the position where the song was played.
"What is this?" Xixi had never seen Qin before, and she tilted her head and asked strangely.
"It's Qin."
Bai Cangdong answered naturally, but Qu Dongliu next to him frowned unnaturally.
"Xixi likes the piano." Xixi said, stroking the piano with her hand.
"If Xixi likes it, my brother will buy you the best piano." Bai Cangdong said with a smile.
"Thank you, brother." Xixi responded happily and fiddled with the strings with her fingers. The sound was somewhat similar to the first note that Qu Dongliu made, but it was not as pleasant as Qu Dongliu's sound.
Somewhat mixed.
Xi Xi's little face turned red, then she quickly adjusted the position of her wrist and fingers, and started playing with the strings again.
The sound of the piano flowed out slowly, a little harsh at first, but soon it became mellow, and the tune was exactly the same as the one Qu Dongliu played just now, but it lacked the touching artistic conception of Qu Dongliu when he played the piano.
"Impossible! You are deceiving me. You know that I like the piano the most, so you let her practice the piano hard, but you pretended to have never learned the piano to deceive me!" Qu Dongliu refused to believe it at all.
The little girl who played the piano could play a very difficult piece of music perfectly, note by note, after just one play.
"The agreement of ten questions is still valid, Mr. Qu might as well ask the remaining questions." Bai Cangdong said calmly.
Hearing Bai Candong's words, Qu Dongliu was slightly stunned, and his expression became strange. However, he still didn't believe that there were such evil people in the world. He thought Bai Candong was just bluffing him, and thought to himself: "They
Since I came prepared, I naturally found out everything about me. If I used the skills I am good at, it would be contrary to their conspiracy. I have never taught anyone martial arts, and they never expected that I would take the martial arts test.
They will definitely be able to disrupt their plot."
"Okay, I'm going to use a martial art now. If this little girl can learn it within a quarter of an hour, I, Qu Dongliu, will follow you immediately." The corners of Qu Dongliu's mouth turned up slightly proudly.
