Jiang Su didn't need to open her eyes. When she woke up and moved, she realized that her body seemed to be stiff.
"The nights in the Western Region don't seem to be as cold as I thought. This is obviously quite..."
"What's that on me?!!"
Jiang Su struggled with her arms. She felt like her whole body was being restrained. She wanted to get up, but her body felt like it was being pressed down by a ghost.
"Quilt, I told you, it's very cold in the Western Regions." Qi Wu answered casually from the side.
"..."
How does this feeling... feel a bit similar?
"Fang Zhe, are you tucked in again?"
Jiang Su laughed angrily, and his anger almost broke out at this moment.
The red-clothed monk kneaded with his fingertips and released the binding technique on the quilt. He was silent and frowned, seeming a little aggrieved.
Jiang Su kicked off the quilt with one kick, pushed away the "preciousness" of the satin material with one hand, straightened his clothes and asked, "How many days are left until the forum?"
Qi Wu also pushed aside the quilt on his body and took care of the fox fur on his neck a few times, "There are still two days."
"Two days..."
"correct."
Jiang Su took out the old book from his storage bag and handed it to Qi Wu, "Come and tell me about the contents."
Yesterday, I originally planned to study the trophies from my trip to the secret realm, but the two of them went crazy and fell asleep on the spot!
Jiang Su touched his cheek, crossed his eyes inadvertently with his fingers, and muttered in his heart: "The dark circles under my eyes are a symbol of my hard work, and they can't disappear just because I slept a few times."
Fang Zhe tilted his head and blinked his eyes.
He did listen to Jiang Su's words.
He also knew that his consciousness was broken, and in his gradually recovering memories, he remembered those characters without much disturbance in his heart.
Qi Wu took the old book, flipped through the pages nonchalantly, pulled the quilt over his legs with the other hand, rummaged through yesterday's content, and continued talking to Jiang Su.
"This book has three volumes, the upper, middle and lower volumes. The specific content is blurry in my eyes, probably because its owner is you and I am not qualified to view it."
"Li Xueqing once mentioned a few words in a letter. She said that in this book, the first volume is mostly about the construction of the city by craftsmen, which is the basis of her Li family's status as the craftsmen in the court. She mainly studied in this book
This is the part. Among them are the five-frame house plan, five frames with two beams behind them, the seven-frame format, and the vertical frame code method..."
"According to my understanding, this volume should be something that mortals can learn. If you want to become a monk and have spiritual enlightenment, this part may not be enough."
Jiang Su remained silent, secretly guessing the significance of the previous volume in this book to Li Xueqing.
"The Li family used to be craftsmen..."
"The middle volume... eh, wait a minute, as Li Xueqing said in his letter at that time, is this book three volumes, one, three, and two, or two?"
Qi Wu was startled and looked to the red monk aside for confirmation.
Fang Zhe was silent for a moment, shook his head, and said in a hoarse and low voice, "No words."
Li Xueqing did not elaborate.
"I didn't say... Then how could I? How could I know..."
“Pfft—” the girl covered her mouth and suppressed laughter, “Hahahahahaha, of course it’s because it wants you to know.”
The next moment, her expression suddenly turned cold.
"Mortals have the understanding of mortals, and monks have the understanding of monks. It seems that this book... has a spirit."
She pointed in the direction of the old book, snorted coldly, and said sternly: "Just go on and say whatever comes to your mind. I want to see what exactly this book wants us to know?"
Qi Wu narrowed his eyes slightly, and when he looked at the book again, his mood was already different.
"The middle volume is a medical spell. Its content is so mysterious that ordinary people cannot understand its deep meaning, let alone its method of application. If someone is willing to exchange his body for it, he will die alive with human flesh and white bones."
When Jiang Su heard that the word "medicine" was involved, her heart immediately went off, her heart beat faster, and her body subconsciously told her that she was very excited.
Exchanging one's body for one sounds like a forbidden technique!!! It cannot be used by ordinary people? What about me? It can be used by monks, but it is still alive with human flesh and white bones? Isn't this the method of exchanging one's life for one's life?!
I like!!!
Old books are tempting people, and Jiang Su quickly takes the bait.
"The next volume is about the method of calling wind and rain, and connecting the sky and the earth. Those who can master the way can be the best among people. They are proficient in Bagua, and their body and soul can master their own way. Those who have cultivated this way will be the supreme immortal of Baiyujing, and the world will not tolerate it."
The "memories" in Qi Wu's mind stopped here, and he also knew that Li Xueqing did not mention these things in his letter.
All this is more like the book borrowing his "mouth" to voluntarily convey its content to the outside world.
He could listen well, Fang Zhe could listen well, and Jiang Su could listen well.
Its rules cannot be read by non-owners. But it wants everyone to know that it is different.
It wants everyone to fight for it.
Qi Wu asked himself if his heart was moved, and he got the answer almost without thinking.
"What does it have to do with me?"
For most of his life, he was unable to practice Fa-rectification due to physical reasons. He could not lift a sword, so he had to resort to the next best thing. The hidden weapon named after the sword became his natal magic weapon.
He did not live up to his brother's expectations. He spent his whole life being the white flower in the sect, easy to break and content in the wall.
If he is already like this, what is the use of civil medicine and heaven-reaching methods?
He asked himself, does he have this talent? What does medical skills have to do with him? Jiang Su is the daughter of a medical immortal, and she has cultivated the inheritance of the current medical immortal. Doesn't she have more learning talent than him, who plays with swords?
The method of reaching the sky... He who has been in the early stage of Jindan for decades, how can he reach the sky?
Qi Wu closed the old book in his hand and handed it to Jiang Su without any hesitation.
The girl in green clothes felt something being stuffed in her hand, raised her brows, and said with a chuckle: "Why is the Fifth Young Master Qi not interested in this strange book? You and I entered the secret realm together, how come I am the only one who got this opportunity?
You became a guest?"
"I, Jiang Su, am not someone who can't bear to part with such "vulgar things"."
She deliberately emphasized the word "vulgar". Firstly, she mocked the book for doing evil and confusing people's hearts. Secondly, she demeaned the book and took a look at Qi Wu's heart.
The monk in white didn't say anything immediately. He turned his face sideways and patted his fox-haired collar, which seemed to be stained with a few of his black hairs.
"Miss Jiang, don't test me. I can't bear this thing. I know it in my heart."
Jiang Su raised her lips and smiled, sat up from the ground, turned and walked towards her room.
Her voice floated in the courtyard.
"It's dark today, Fifth Young Master Qi. You can come to the court to continue admiring the moon."
"boom--"
The door is closed.
Qi Wu didn't seem to expect the sudden change of things. He looked at the door and then at the red monk beside him.
"What is this?" he asked softly in confusion.
Fang Zhe looked at the door thoughtfully, then put away the broken Zhanhan knife beside him, carefully picked up the cold knife, and wiped the rust on the ancient rusty hatchet with his sleeve.
