C50 (2/2)
However, the inheritance was a barrier that was difficult to cross, and many talismans had already been lost.
The talisman technique that Zhou Tian learned was something that the old man had to put in a lot of effort to find. Furthermore, it was only an incomplete book. One could see how difficult it was to obtain true talisman techniques.
However, it was already late in the day, so Zhou Tian had no choice but to keep his thoughts in his mind.
”Bang, bang …”
There was a knock on the door.
Zhou Tian stood up, but he had a bad premonition. The person who would come looking for him at this time was probably the talkative disciple who didn't let him have any worries.
Before he even got near the door, he heard Xu Wenlei's loud speaker outside.
”Master, master, I brought something for you!” It's really something good! ”
”Teacher, why are you still not opening the door? It can't be that Mistress is inside, right?”
”Eldest Mistress, I remember that she has already been home for a while. Second Mistress has recently taken leave to take care of my father, so she won't be here. Could it be …” Master, are you still hiding a Third Mistress in there? ”
Third Mistress? Zhou Tian once again had the urge to hit him. He opened the door, wanting to bring in Xu Wenlei as a good disciple and teach him a lesson.
Unexpectedly, Xu Wenlei actually retreated to the fence ahead of time. Looking at Zhou Tian, he said with a smile: ”Master, I knew you would be angry, so this disciple of mine was already prepared.”
”Come in. Remember to close the door.”
Zhou Tian walked straight back into the house.
Xu Wenlei followed him in with a face of satisfaction and then closed the door.
A silver needle pierced through the void and pierced into his acupoints, rendering him unable to move.
”Master, master …” This time, your disciple truly knows her wrongs. Xu Wenlei immediately begged for mercy.
”Oh, what's wrong with you? That needle was in my hand just a moment ago, how did it suddenly fly to you?
Although Zhou Tian had said that, he sat on the chair and had no intention of standing up.
”...” Master, your disciple really did bring something good this time. ” Xu Wenlei knew that this was the only way for him to speak.
Zhou Tian got up and took the bag from Xu Wenlei's right hand. He opened it and found a century-old Head of the Guards.
Moreover, this was the wild Head of the Guards, only those deep in the mountains and in the forests could exist.
In the secular world, there was a rumor that ginseng could only be used as a simple medicinal ingredient and not as a miraculous medicine.
However, this Polygonum multiflorum Thunb had a full body and strong medicinal properties. It could be said to be a rare good medicine.
For example, he only asked Li Gui to collect some common medicinal ingredients, and he didn't have much requirement for the age of the medicinal ingredients.
But if he wanted to concoct a good pill, the stronger the medicinal properties, the better.
”This is a pretty good gift. It's much better than what you brought before.”
Zhou Tian was quite satisfied. This Hundred Years Old First Crow could already become the main ingredient for a batch of pills.
”Master, of course, this is my ceremony. Previously, it was because I wasn't sensible that I brought these mundane things here to embarrass myself. This time, it was my grandfather who personally taught me.” Xu Wenlei laughed.
”Other than gifting, what else do you want?” Zhou Tian didn't think that this guy was just here to give him a present.
”Well... I wonder if Master is interested in entering those deep mountains and ancient forests? ” Xu Wenlei finally said.
Zhou Tian nodded, indicating that he should continue.
It was brought by a scholar who specifically walked through the forest deep in the mountains. According to the scholar, they had an old forest there, and many good things grew there. They said that he had once seen a ginseng child running all over the ground at two or three o'clock in the night.
”Then why didn't he start picking them? I think he wouldn't be indifferent to such huge benefits, right?” Zhou Tian asked.
Xu Wenlei coughed lightly and said: ”That old guy had such a sinister heart, but he was afraid of losing his life. You know, in a remote place like that, there could be all sorts of legends. He was afraid of dying in there. ”
There were still many legends in the deep mountains and ancient forests. Some said that it was due to the reverence the ancestors had for nature, while others said that the old forest was extremely sinister, and that anything strange could exist.
Zhou Tian nodded. In the Central South Mountain where he was at, other than the place where he was cultivating, there was also an old forest. It was indeed very strange, especially when he had mastered his five senses and a clearer understanding of the world.
Previously, with this old man overseeing the operation, nothing dared to mess around. However, once this old man left, everything seemed to have changed.
Zhou Tian even guessed that the reason the old man let him leave the mountain so early was not only to experience the human world, but also to cultivate his medical skills.
”Don't think that I don't know. That seemingly honest and honest scholar must have tricked outsiders into entering that old forest, which is why he was able to dig this hundred year old chief Wu.” Xu Wenlei snorted twice in disdain.
”You want me to go with you to that old forest?” Zhou Tian understood Xu Wenlei's goal.
This fellow was most likely filled with curiosity towards the old forest, but he was also afraid of losing his life. That was why he wanted to go with him. At the very least, his safety could be guaranteed.
Perhaps there was something deeper than that. He also wanted to see what that mysterious cultivation world was like.
Zhou Tian didn't think about hiding anything from him. After all, he had already been accepted as an honorary disciple. There were many things that he would definitely experience in the future.
