Chapter 385 Elder Zhou, quickly accept the supernatural powers.
The knife surface is clean and the edge is not damaged.
Nangong Pushe put away his saber, his gaze returned to cold, glanced at the tool man who was still helping Si Teng turn the pages, turned back to the bookshelf, and took out another book to read quietly.
The entire first floor of Tingchao Pavilion returned to its original tranquility, only two overlapping sounds of flipping books from time to time flowed gently between the buildings and the surrounding space.
Wei Shuyang, who was leaning on the fence of the stairs and looking down, showed a faint smile, yawned and lay back under the table again, and covered his face with a book.
Yah~
The door was opened lightly, and Zhou Ji left Tingchao Pavilion after reading the miscellaneous notes in his hand. Before he knew it, the sky was getting dark, and the afterglow of the setting sun spilled into the hall through the closed door, just like when he was about to leave.
Remembering that Xu Fengnian's second sister was still at Jiang Ni's place, and he didn't know if someone died, Zhou Ji picked up the flower pot and walked towards Wutong Garden, just in time to see Xu Fengnian take out a book and throw it in Jiang Ni's hands.
Jiang Ni let go of the long-handled writing brush she was leaning on, caught the ancient book in a hurry, glanced at the title, and asked doubtfully, "You asked Mr. Zhou to call me just to give me this?"
"For you? It's a beautiful idea~" Xu Fengnian waved his sleeves to signal Jiang Ni to follow, and he sat down leisurely and lazily leaning against the long table, pointing to the ancient book and said, "Wudang's "Taixuan Sensitive Chapter", Hong Wash like to give."
"So?" Jiang Ni was uninterested, curled her lips and said, "It's for you, I don't have a rhubarb court."
"I'm too lazy to read, why don't you read it to me." Xu Fengnian took a sip of tea and said bossily.
Jiang Ni rolled his eyes at him, and replied, "It's a beautiful thought."
Xu Fengnian already knew that Jiang Ni was not happy, so he took out an old copper coin covered with copper rust from his sleeve, looked around through the square hole in the middle, and said, "One penny."
From the moment he took out the copper coin, Jiang Ni's gaze was fixed on the familiar copper coin, with the rust marks on the corners.
That's right! This is the one that I worked so hard to save for three years, and was fined by Xu Fengnian because of the failed 'assassination'.
Jiang Ni is a stubborn person after all, and she will not give in to the terrifying Xu Weixiong, let alone Xu Fengnian?
"One article?" Jiang Ni sneered, showing disdain.
Xu Fengnian closed his eyes, looked at Jiang Ni through the square hole, and said with a smile, "Every word, every word."
"Two words." Jiang Ni's eyes lit up, and he immediately sat down and raised the price.
Xu Fengnian pinched his fingers, and the erected copper coin fell to his fingertips. Xu Fengnian pinched the copper coin and said in front of Jiang Ni, "Just one penny."
Jiang Ni looked away from the copper coins with great perseverance, and handed out the ancient books with her head held high, expressing that she would not be oppressed by this.
Xu Fengnian said with a smile: "If you read a few more books, you can still read me poorly."
"More than one book?" Jiang Ni's little abacus calculated wildly, assuming that one book has 1,000 words, two books are 2,000 words, and three books are 3,000 words.
Xu Fengnian saw at a glance that Jiang Ni was already a little bit moved, and added fire, "Think about it, I want to practice martial arts, so I will naturally read more books. Let's talk about the book in front of me. I let Sweet Potato do a rough calculation and add notes to recount it. There are about 6,000 words, after reading it, I will give you seven pennies, and you will get a good deal as an opening reward."
.
Six. Six thousand texts?
The corners of Jiang Ni's mouth couldn't help evoking a hint of joy, fearing that Xu Fengnian would find out, he hurriedly smoothed it out, and opened the ancient book with a stern face, pretending to be reluctant and cold, and read, "There are things mixed together. , congenitally born”
"Too rigid, be more emotional."
Xu Fengnian looked around at the copper coins in his hand, and the dissatisfaction in Jiang Ni's heart was instantly suppressed, just like a child who was just learning Chinese, reading aloud, "There are things that are mixed, and things are born~"
Xu Fengnian shook his head and said, "Be calm."
Jiang Ni’s anger that had just been suppressed instantly flared up, Qiong’s nose was slightly wrinkled, and she said dissatisfiedly, “What exactly do you want?”
Xu Fengnian took it for granted: "I paid you to study, shouldn't you have some quality?"
Jiang Ni was thinking of perfunctory reading and taking the money to leave, but was interrupted by Xu Fengnian repeatedly, knowing that the penny was not as easy to get as imagined, so Jiang Ni had to cheer up and get serious.
"There are things mixed, congenitally born"
"Is this "Taishang Induction Chapter"?"
Who is it again? !
The emotions that were finally brewing were interrupted again, Jiang Ni looked out the door angrily, saw Zhou Ji coming with a flowerpot in his arms, his anger subsided, he showed a bright and lovely smile, and waved his little hand to Si Teng to say hello, When looking at Zhou Ji, his face was expressionless.
Since Sito comforted Jiang Ni last time and helped her restore the small vegetable garden, Jiang Ni's attitude towards this "female ghost" who was once afraid of dying has changed a hundred and eighty degrees, as if under the charm of Miss Sito, she has become a Loyal fan.
Zhou Ji saw her differential treatment, and teased: "Your little clay figurine learned how to change faces from you, right?"
Xu Fengnian gave Zhou Ji a blank look, as if he had never heard of it, "That's right, Hong Xixiang gave it to me when I left Wudang Mountain. It said it was a Taoist classic and could help me practice."
"It's useless, the true transmission is 10,000 yuan, and the false transmission is 10,000 volumes of scriptures," Zhou Ji said indifferently, "I know a war **** with a crooked mouth. I have read the Taishang Induction Chapter for more than ten years, and it is useless."
"Crooked mouth? God of War?" Xu Fengnian looked surprised.
Niaoya by the table tilted her head, also showing doubts.
Zhou Ji stretched out his hand to press the corner of his mouth and sneered upwards. Everyone in the room was disgusted and disgusted. Xu Fengnian leaned back tactically, as if he was under a mental attack. His facial features were almost squeezed into a ball, and he said in great pain, "Hero Zhou , quickly accept the supernatural powers."
The two have been together for thousands of years. Although Si Teng has been sleeping in Zhou Ji's heart for most of the time, he still has a more or less understanding of the perception of the outside world. He has never heard him mention the "crooked mouth" before. Regarding the God of War's matter, a vine stretched out and patted the back of Zhou Ji's hand, signaling him to be honest when he returned.
Zhou Ji felt the light touch of the vine, looked down at Si Teng, stretched out his fingertips to touch the vine bud, turned around and said, "But since Hong Xixiang asked you to read it, you can read it, after all You are in a different environment from that person, and your cultivation system and talent are also different, at least you can nourish your mind and calm your mind, which is also beneficial to Qionghua's mind."
Jiang Ni looked at Zhou Ji, then at the thoughtful Xu Fengnian, and asked in confusion, "Then should I still read it or not?"
"Read, why don't you read it." Xu Fengnian looked at the sky outside, and said with a smile, "You go back with the book first, think about how to read it properly, and continue tomorrow morning."
The money was not broken, Jiang Ni was secretly happy, without thinking about it, she ran out of the house with the ancient book in her arms.
Zhou Ji glanced at this innocent little girl, couldn't help showing a smile, turned to look at Xu Fengnian, and said with a smile, "If you want her to learn martial arts, just say it directly, why bother to go around such a big circle to deceive people?" girl"
"Didn't I learn this from you?" Xu Fengnian was not surprised that Zhou Ji could see through his thoughts, lifted the teapot and poured Zhou Ji a cup of tea, and said with a smile, "After traveling abroad for three years, Lao Huang persuaded me to learn martial arts because of his good intentions. The sky yelled 'you don't suffer from learning martial arts, and you can't be fooled by learning martial arts', but he didn't persuade me to learn martial arts, but you deceived me with lightness kung fu."
Zhou Ji saw the gratitude in Xu Fengnian's smile, looked down at the teacup Xu Fengnian handed over, and asked with a half-smile, "What does this mean?"
"You saw it today too. My second sister has a very bad impression of that girl Jiang Ni. This girl has a stubborn temper. I'm afraid it's hard to protect herself by relying on her will." Ji Xiashou sat on the chair, looked down at the tea in the cup, and said in a low voice.
"Jiang Ni and I grew up. She knows her identity, what she should do and what she should not do. The so-called assassination is just to remind us of our relationship. Once she really learns martial arts, she will really fall into the trap." Dilemma, excruciating pain."
Zhou Ji knew Jiang Ni's life experience from Xu Fengnian a long time ago. As the princess of the subjugated state of Western Chu, she watched the Chu royal family being slaughtered by Xu Xiao.
Although she knew that Xu Xiao's order to kill was actually her father's intention, in order to preserve the last dignity of the Chu royal family, but this complex emotion of being both an enemy and a benefactor has always been entangled in her heart, making her unable to make a choice.
After Zhou Ji figured it out, he sighed quietly, and stretched out his hand to take the tea that Xu Fengnian handed over, "That's why you want her to learn martial arts unconsciously by reading books. As long as you keep the secrets from each other, nothing will change. ?”
Xu Fengnian showed a silly smile, propped his elbows on the square table, glanced left and right and said, "Then what, can I teach Jiang Ni the mental method you taught me?"
"Wait here for me?" Zhou Ji couldn't help laughing when he saw Xu Fengnian reappearing his face-changing magic skill, and shook his head, "I'm innocent, but I'm guilty. Since you have practiced Qionghua's mind method, you naturally know the mystery. If Jiang It may not be a good thing for her to learn from mud."
Xu Fengnian was silent, knowing that he was a little too hasty.
In the past, he was very repulsed to practice martial arts, thinking that martial arts was dispensable, and even relying on wisdom alone could solve all troubles.
Now that he has learned martial arts, he has changed his mentality, and his concept of martial arts has directly changed into two words. Zhenxiang.
However, although he could not directly teach Qionghua's mind method, Zhou Ji still taught Xu Fengnian a superficial method of nourishing the mind and accumulating energy, which was mixed in several volumes of Daoist scriptures, and asked him to find an opportunity to pass it on to Jiang Ni.
In a blink of an eye, it was getting late, Xu Fengnian had dinner with Zhou Ji in Wutong Garden, and asked if the second sister of sweet potato had returned home. After learning that she had returned, he asked sweet potato to prepare some Xu Weixiong's favorite dishes, holding it in one hand The lunch box, with the chess box in the other hand, personally delivered it to Xu Weixiong.
When I went to see Xu Xiao during the day, Xu Weixiong told him that Xu Fengnian had agreed to take over Beiliang. Now that Xu Weixiong was returning to the mansion, Xu Xiao moved back to the palace compound early the next morning in order to maintain his majesty as a father.
Zhou Ji didn't know what the family was talking about, so he had nothing to do, so he had to go back to the Chaoting Pavilion to look through the notes of the miscellaneous talks. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Nangong Pushe lying on the floor, as if Overhearing something.
"What are you doing?"
Seeing Zhou Ji approaching, Nangong Pushe straightened up, his cold eyes flickered with fluctuations.
"When I first practiced the knife, I stepped on it with all my strength, and it felt empty below, as if there was another layer." Nangong Pushe looked down at the wooden round table bookshelf, thinking.
"There are more than one floor below." Zhou Ji went to the edge of the round platform and sat down, and said with a smile, "Although I can't perceive it for sure, it extends at least a hundred meters below, and there are two caves hidden."
Nangong Pushe showed surprise, looked up at Zhou Ji and said, "How do you know? Have you ever gone down?"
It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to show up to others, how could Zhou Ji miss it?
He brushed off his sleeves, smiled lightly, and shook his head slightly with an inscrutable look. Just as he was about to put it on, the door door slammed softly. Xu Fengnian looked at the two people next to the round platform and said in surprise: "Old Zhou It's there too."
"Ah" Zhou Ji responded, with some helplessness brewing emotions again, and said calmly, "Although I haven't been down there, I noticed it the day we first arrived in Chaohu Lake."
"Under what? Notice what?" Xu Fengnian looked around in surprise.
Nangong Pushe pointed to the round platform and asked, "What's under here?"
"Foundation? What else can it be?" Xu Fengnian subconsciously replied, he couldn't help being taken aback after speaking, looked at Zhou Ji and said, "You just said there is something under here?"
Nangong Pushe nodded and said, "He just said that there are two caves that extend a hundred meters below."
Xu Fengnian laughed when he heard the words, "I've been hanging out in the Tide Pavilion since I was a child. May I know there's another floor below?"
"Don't believe me? That's easy."
Zhou Ji strolled in the courtyard, as if returning to his own home, easily found a groove on the bookshelf of the round table, changed the flower pot to his left hand, groped for a while with his right hand into his sleeve, and took out a toolbox that was the size of a cuff .
The low-hanging sleeves swayed slightly, attracting the attention of Nangong Pushe and Xu Fengnian, wondering how such a large box was stuffed in.
Seeing that Xu Fengnian kept pulling at his sleeves, and even wanted to open them to look in, Zhou Ji flicked his sleeves, rolled them around his wrists, and reprimanded, "Don't make trouble".
Then opened the box, revealing all kinds of professional tools, which dazzled the two of them.
Three times, five divisions and two cracked the mechanism, and the toolbox was stuffed back into the sleeve. Zhou Ji nodded slightly, signaling Xu Fengnian to push the round table bookshelf to rotate.
There is actually a hidden mechanism in the place where he played since he was a child. Xu Fengnian is even more concerned than Nangong Pushe at the moment, holding the corner of the wooden frame and pushing hard.
The bookshelf shook suddenly and began to rotate slowly. Zhou Ji stood on the bookshelf with a flowerpot in his hand, watching the surrounding scenery pass by before his eyes, feeling like he was riding on a merry-go-round with Si Teng.
The bookshelf on the round table drives the mechanism below, and it is so heavy to push. With Xu Fengnian's current cultivation level, he was out of breath and his face turned pale after just two turns of pushing.
Nangong Pushe stood beside Zhou Ji, compared to the astonishment of hearing Chaoting's hidden secret passage, all the curiosity at this time fell on Zhou Ji's empty wide sleeves that fluttered in the wind.
