Chapter 45 (1/2)
45 Big brother is really annoying (1)
Stargazing tower, Eight Trigrams stage.
A white-robed, white-haired, and white-bearded supervisor sat in front of a table, twirling a cup of wine in his hand as he silently gazed toward the Northwest of the capital.
There was another table on the left, and it was filled with delicious food. In front of the table sat the Oval-faced, big-eyed Yan Caiwei, who had exquisite facial features and a hidden sweetness.
As she ate, she continued to chatter, “”Master, when can I reach the sixth rank and become an Alchemist?”
“The time will come when you stop eating and focus on cultivation,” the supervisor replied with a smile.
“That’s impossible in this lifetime.” Yan Caiwei said with difficulty.
She swallowed the food and continued to ramble, ” by the way, fake silver is easy to burn. It explodes when thrown into water. It can’t be preserved at all. It’s not good to report to the Emperor like this.”
“The Emperor has nothing better to do, just tell him to get lost,” the supervisor said softly.
Li Caiwei stuck out the tip of her tongue. I don’t dare to say that. You can go by yourself.
The supervisor smiled kindly.
“Master, fourth senior brother is going crazy. He’s always running out of the city, saying that the door to the profound meaning of alchemy is already open for him.”
“…..”
“Master, I think Xu Qi ‘an is a good guy. Can’t we take him in? Oh, you don’t know who he is. He’s the one who solved the tax and silver case …”
“….”
“Master, what is grafting?”
“Caiwei,” the supervisor sighed.
“Master, please speak.”
“Can’t you shut your mouth even when you’re eating?”
“Oh.”
After a few seconds …
“Master, why do you keep looking over there?”
“Caiwei ah, master has some regrets.”
“Master, please speak.”
“Master, why don’t you know the forbidden technique of the scholarly faction?”
“Hehe …” A proud expression had just appeared on Yan Caiwei’s face when she suddenly realized that the food on the table had instantly rotted and was emitting an unpleasant stinky smell.
She pouted her little mouth and looked like she was about to cry. Her heart ached so much that she couldn’t breathe.”Master, I was wrong. Quickly change back.”
The supervisor was still looking in the Northwest direction and said with a smile, ” I’ll teach you one more thing. In the field of alchemy, most of the transformations are irreversible.
As she wiped her tears, she left in tears. I’ll never come back to accompany you again, old man.
……
In the pavilion next to the bamboo forest, director Zhao Shou said in a deep voice, “”No one is allowed to get within 300 feet of this place,”
As he spoke, he waved his sleeve, and the clear air expanded, covering a radius of 300 feet around the pavilion.
After doing this, he turned around and looked at the three great Confucians who had been summoned.
Li Mubai held the teacup in his hands and had a solemn expression, ” I’ve asked around. At that time, there were no students near the quasi-Saint Academy. I also didn’t know who entered.
“The words on the stele don’t belong to any student of the Academy. To be able to write such ugly words, I don’t think he’s from our Academy.”
After saying this, li Mubai felt a little guilty. If he wasn’t a student of the Academy, who else could he be other than that cheap disciple?
“Du du …”
At this time, Zhang Shen knocked on the table. This great scholar put away all his cynicism and retorted his friend with a blank expression, ”
“Handwriting can be disguised, and ugly words are even more so.”
“Then, what’s the reason for the disguise?” Chen Tai suddenly asked. That monument had been erected there for more than ten years, and all the teachers and students in the Academy had tried it. They were all willing to be the hero. There was no reason to disguise the handwriting.
“Furthermore, Xu cijiu and Xu ningyan happened to be on a mountain trip.”
The three great Confucians finished their discussion and didn’t speak for a long time.
Li Mubai sipped the tea in his cup and sighed, for the sake of Heaven and earth, for the sake of the people, for the sake of inheriting the Supreme Arts, for the sake of peace for the world …
“I’m ashamed. I’ve long given up on the idea of an official career. I only want to leave my name in history.”
“Brother Chunjing has a noble character and unquestionable integrity.” Zhang Shen gave him a thumbs up and praised him, then continued, “”Let me guide you on the poems.”
