There are some things that you really can't dig into, and the more you think about them, the more you'll get angrier.
There's nothing I can do about it, I have a pretty stubborn temper. Taiqing is even more stubborn than me, he's just like an old stubborn cow! What's more, the book is still in his bag. Although it is impossible for him not to give it to me, if he is really pushed into a hurry, he will really go find Fu Mingkui himself. It's true that he knows Kung Fu, but Fu Mingkui's methods are beyond what we laymen can handle.
Now that I calm down and think about it, my skills are not as good as Tai Qing's, let alone Liao Datong and Tang Qing. Although it is convenient to move alone, the danger is not reduced at all. And listening to my mother's tone on the phone, it seemed like she wouldn't be able to come back for a while. My situation was really passive. Having a skilled helper like Tai Qing to support her until her mother comes back may be the safest way.
After struggling for a long time, I still sent a text message to Tai Qing. The general meaning was to apologize to him first, and then explain that in the current situation, it would be safer for me to act with him, and so on. Who knew that my message had just been sent? Less than two seconds after leaving, he immediately replied "Okay." It was like he had been waiting for me to contact him, and then he sent another text message, and at the same time, I also received a text message from my mother.
"I will obey your command unconditionally and I will protect you."
"I encountered a difficult matter here. It will take at least seven days before I can go back. During these seven days, if you encounter any problems, please contact me in time. By the way, call Xiaomi. You two can help each other if you encounter problems. "
The millet in my mother's mouth is Yang Taiqing's nickname. Seven days, I don’t know how many things will happen in these seven days...
I returned to the dormitory with mixed feelings. I thought that the brothers were all staying in the dormitory. Who knew that after knocking on the door for a long time, no one answered. After sending messages one by one, they all replied to me and said they were going to class... ....
Of course, when I said I was back at school, they were sending text messages one by one as fast as if they were on a rocket, and they couldn’t even come back. I was a little touched by these greetings, but they said that in order to celebrate my return from the hospital, they wanted to have dinner and then go to the KTV to sing in the evening, but I declined because I was still injured and needed to "recuperate." After briefly talking to them, I didn’t want to disturb their studies anymore, so I simply stopped chatting with them. Otherwise, depending on their temperament, they might sneak out and drag me along during the break. Celebrated.
Since I can't get into the dormitory, it seems quite abrupt to go back to class now. Besides, I'm not in the mood to go to class anymore, so I might as well walk around the school casually. After thinking about it like this, I left the dormitory building.
Old Huang went to the underworld, could it be the legendary reincarnation?
I deliberately found a place with few people to hang out, so that I could think about some things and avoid being "targeted" by some good people. Like when I had an argument with Tai Qing earlier, many people recognized me. At this time of year, the last thing I want is to attract attention.
I hope he can be reincarnated smoothly, and at the same time, I also hope that my brothers can turn danger into good luck and live a good life... Tsk, why does it feel a bit wrong?
He was walking around casually like this, and he didn't realize that it was already around 5 or 6 p.m. At this point, Mr. Hu and the others should have finished class and gone to eat.
I originally thought about going to my old classmate to apply for a leave of absence. If that didn't work, I would take a break from school for a while and leave the school temporarily. But then I felt that it was not necessarily safer outside than at school. I was relatively familiar here and it was easy to move around, so it was better to stay in school first.
When I received the news about Tai Qing, I happened to see him walking around the corner of the laboratory building with two meals. I waved to him, and the boy trotted over with a bright smile.
"You're hungry, hurry up, it's not cold yet."
When I took the portion of braised chicken and rice from him, I didn’t show any politeness to him, pulled it away and started devouring it.
"Did you bring that book? Did you continue to play as I told you?" I chatted with him while eating spicy chicken pieces.
"Well, I started doing it when I got back. I just spread the water on the page as you said. At first, I thought it was a water problem. I changed several types of water without seeing the words. Later I still I tried many times taking into account the temperature and color of the water, but still got no results.”
There was a sense of frustration in his tone, and it seemed that he had suffered enough.
I vaguely asked if it would be useful if it needed water from the trash can. Unexpectedly, he rolled his eyes at me, curled his lips and said that he had tried it a long time ago, and then he seemed to have caught some incredible clue. Likewise, he hurriedly swallowed the food in his mouth and shouted, "Do you want water from the trash can in the hospital?!"
I almost spit out all my rice in one mouthful.
"Brother, you have a bigger brain than me. Stop talking and show me that book." After finishing speaking, I finished the last bite of my meal and hurriedly asked him for the "Invulnerable to Water and Fire" book. Strange book.
Mysterious volume.
Looking at these words now, I feel a fuzzy feeling in my heart. When I opened it, there was really nothing in the book except for a few light water stains and a few pages of white paper with curled edges.
Tai Qing raised his eyebrows, which meant that he wanted me to take a good look at his achievements throughout the afternoon. I shook my head with a wry smile and told him about my hard work.
Could it be that the way the book cover displays words is different from the pages inside? With this question in mind, I dipped my finger into a little water poured into the cap of the mineral water bottle, and then wiped it on the first page.
Covering the yin and yang of creation, dry...
! ! !
Wherever my fingers touched, some words appeared out of thin air!
Tai Qing's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe that something he had been struggling with all afternoon but couldn't get anything out of the ordinary was managed by me in an understatement.
"That's unreasonable!"
He was really angry.
"let me try!"
Seeing that he was unconvinced, he imitated me by dipping his finger in water and then wiping it behind the line of words. Then he stared at the changes on the paper with his eyes widened. But the two of us stared at that part for two full minutes, but we didn't notice the slightest change.
So I dipped my hands in water and wiped it again on the place he had wiped, and then the words came out again...
This time it’s “The Way of Changing the Universe.”
He reached out and dipped his hand in water again, and found another blank area and wiped it, but there was still no change. Then I smeared on the place he wiped and another blank area, but the words were displayed on both.
Depressed, he reached out and dipped his hand in water again, and wiped out the words "The way to change the universe". This time, there was a change. As soon as he wiped it, those words were all hidden again!
Not only that, he wiped out the places where there were words before, and they were all hidden, as if they had never appeared before. But when I wiped them out, it was not just the places where words had been displayed before, but also all the blank spaces where there might be words. Everywhere, words appeared one after another.
"Is this what you mean, Goldfinger?"
The two of us tinkered back and forth more than ten times, during which we even changed a few pages of the book for experimentation, and finally came to a unanimous point of view: it has nothing to do with any other factors, it is simply my "golden finger".
Although it seems a bit hasty for me and him to come to this conclusion, it is absolutely impossible to disclose the existence of this book to other people at this time. Therefore, it can basically be said that our point of view is the only one. Reasonable explanation.
Thinking of what Lao Huang said about me, I now vaguely understand what it means. Is there really such a magical phenomenon in this world? But then I thought about it, since I have seen ghosts and witnessed the bizarre existence of "Fake Old Huang", then maybe this wordless book is not so outrageous.
But, to be honest, I really hate this feeling of being "appointed", as if someone has written a script specifically for you and asks you to live according to the plot above...
"Hey, do you think it's possible that, like Lin Pingzhi, I'll be asked to do something like 'if you want to practice this skill, you must first commit suicide'? I always feel that this book is not very reliable.", I When I told Tai Qing this idea, he looked at me like I was a fool, and then patted me on the shoulder unhurriedly, "Oh, it's all my fault. If I had found out earlier that you had this serious illness, you would have It wouldn’t have developed into what it is today.”
I pushed this kid's hand away and cursed angrily: "Fuck your grandpa, you are the one with the serious illness! To be serious, your Aunt Zhao said you want me to learn something from this first. She doesn't even know the things above." You dare to let me learn it even if you don’t know whether it’s good or bad. I guess you feel more at ease with this thing. How about you learn it with me?”
To tell the truth, there is no need to hide it from brothers, and we don’t want anyone to stand up for who, but at least we have something to say openly. I get along well with some of my buddies. We all know each other well and are used to this way of getting along. We are relatively straightforward in speaking and doing things. Now I stopped beating around the bush. Since my mother was assured of letting me learn it and she also said she would give me some guidance, I didn’t have to worry about what bad effect this thing would have on him.
After all, Tai Qing learns things faster than me and has a good foundation in kung fu. No matter which one of us grows, it will be beneficial to the current situation.
Unexpectedly, he refused without even thinking about it.
"No. In my opinion, you can only learn this thing by yourself. Not to mention that only you can make out the words on it. I tend to be aggressive and have an impatient temper. So my grandfather asked me to practice martial arts since I was a child, saying that it can cultivate my body. Yang Xin, you can let me delve into martial arts secrets, but if you want me to learn these mysterious things, I'm afraid I won't go crazy without reading much."
"Hey, you...", I just wanted to interrupt, but he started shaking his head desperately. "Besides, didn't Aunt Zhao also ask you to find me? Then she must also know that I know about the Xuanmei Secret Scroll. You see, she didn't say that I can learn it. She must know that I am not suitable or even unable to learn it. So, just calm down and study on your own, I can help you with other things, but you can really only rely on yourself to learn Taoism."
What he said made me speechless for a while.
I plan to go back to the dormitory in the evening, but if I want to take this mysterious volume back, how should I explain it? After that, I asked Tai Qing to dip his hands in water and smear the places with words one by one, including the four big words on the cover, and then I rolled up the book and said goodbye to him.
When several buddies in the dormitory saw me whom I hadn't seen for a long time, they jumped up one by one and gave me a few bear hugs and even kissed me. I was disgusted and pushed them away with great disgust. It really made my heart warm.
Seeing that I actually brought something back, Luo Sicheng snatched it away and said with a mysterious smile: "Look, you have been discharged from the hospital and you still remember to bring us gifts. Aren't you going against the rules? Logically speaking, we should prepare it for you, haha, what is this? Oh, a book? Why are they wrinkled? Where are the words?"
I really can't do anything about this kid. He is the happiest person in the whole dormitory. He is such an adult, but he always has the mentality of a child. He always makes people angry, but no one really gets angry with him. In other words, he is the favorite of our dormitory.
Kong Dingzhou pushed up his glasses and said in a half-joking tone, "What, our General Zhao is going to start working hard to become stronger? But you can't get a white book?"
Hearing this sarcasm, I said disdainfully: "Go, go, I'm going to work hard and throw you guys off a few streets? Can we do that thing of stabbing our brothers in the side? Besides, you are not I don’t know how powerful my brother is, but when I get serious, I’m even afraid of myself. So, if I get a scholarship or get a graduate degree, isn’t it within my reach?”
Hu Shaoqing probably couldn't stand listening anymore, so he quickly interrupted his brother's heroic words while holding his forehead. "Stop, stop, stop...if you're really that good, you should get serious."
I glanced at him and replied calmly: "I will be afraid."
For a moment, a few of them looked at each other, and then they swarmed up and "subdued" the guys to the ground, mocking me and saying that I was a toad on the road - pretending to be a colorful Jeep! How can I bear this? Immediately he yelled: Even if he is a toad, he is still the most handsome toad! Then the buddy's mouth was stuffed with his own smelly socks...
Joking aside, I also told them that the book was brought back to take notes, because I have missed too many classes recently, and I have to make up for my notes to keep up with the learning progress, so as not to hold the class back. Who would have imagined that my friend's positive remarks were met with cynicism and ridicule from all of them in unison. Luo Sicheng even asked for my ID card to have a look... Why, can't I study hard and make progress every day?
This is too much!
Although lying to them like this goes against my principles as a human being, there is really nothing I can do about it. I can't possibly get them involved again, right? Alas, life is so contradictory sometimes. Faced with countless choices, we are always forced to make the choice that is least in line with our own style. I always feel that the reason why we work so hard is not to change the world, but to not be changed by the world. But who can truly go against the flow of time and space and be the person who will not be changed by the world?
