Chapter 5 5. We are all good people
In the leather-making room, Song Yan and Qi Yao sat quietly opposite each other. They each took new animal skins and began to clean them.
It will be dark today, but you can make some preparations for tomorrow in advance.
Song Yan has been here for two days. In this environment, even if he only pricks up his ears to listen to the conversations of other handymen, he can still get some basic information: Shadow Play Peak’s requirement for each handyman is to "make one per day" "Ordinary Shadow Puppet", thirty ordinary shadow puppets can gain 1 contribution point, which is common to the entire Puppet Sect. Therefore, if you are quick enough, you can also take on some other errand tasks, get in touch with more formal disciples in the sect, and become familiar with them. In this way, if you have a little more talent or do something good in the future, the chance of it falling on you will be greater.
However, according to his observation, most of the handymen here can only make "an ordinary shadow puppet in Japan".
This is a bit strange, because it was only the second day that he came and he made two shadow puppets.
Why are those skilled handymen unable to do so?
Seeing Song Yan's fast movements, Qi Yao suddenly whispered: "Don't do it so fast, it will hurt your hands."
Song Yan paused.
While slowly shaving the remaining hair on the skin in front of her, Qi Yao said in a homely tone: "I wasn't sitting with you yesterday, and something happened around me. There was a miscellaneous The pain in my arms is hard to describe, but it’s painful He endured the pain, but in the end he accidentally failed to grasp the handle of the knife, causing the knife to cut his hand. The wound bled, and he could no longer complete the shadow puppet work."< br>
"Then what?"
"Then, I didn't see him today."
Song Yan was silent for a moment, and after a little push, he knew that this should be an unspoken rule: here Work without being injured. If you stop working due to injury, the Demon Sect will not wait for you to recover, but will deal with you directly.
So every old handyman tries his best to ensure that his arm is not injured or worn out before completing the daily shadow puppet work.
Thinking of this, Song Yan put down the scraper and stretched his fingers.
Sure enough, there was a slight soreness in the tiger's mouth and tendon sheath.
Even though it is an ordinary animal skin, it is quite hard and very tough. If you want to carve on it, even if it is just a shape, you have to clench your cheeks and use all your strength to carve. of.
After a long time, it is unrealistic that my fingers will not hurt.
Song Yan looked at the girl opposite and said with a smile: "Thank you very much."
While speaking, a ray of red light fell on the sides of the two of them. Song Yan raised his head, but See the sunset hanging among the green mountains outside the window.
"It's getting dark."
"Yeah."
After a brief conversation, Song Yan quickly stood up and followed Qi Yao to the vacant room on one side. Halfway through, he saw Wang Susu walking beside him. The two met each other as if they were strangers, and they didn't even touch each other with their eyes.
That night, he and Qi Yao took turns keeping watch, and they seemed to be in peace.
Different from last night, last night it was him who was preventing Wang Susu from approaching, but tonight it was Qi Yao who was preventing him from approaching.
This dashing girl even set a boundary on the bed and placed the quilts of the two on both sides. Even during vigil, the other person could not cross the boundary.
Three days passed in a flash.
Everything went smoothly for three days.
In order to prevent palm injuries, Song Yan increased the speed of making shadow puppets to one a day, three in three days, and gained 31 years of life, and the total life span increased from 48 to 79.
But the strange thing is that Qi Yao gritted his teeth and made five shadow puppets in three days.
He was curious and asked "why".
Qi Yao only said, "I want to collect enough contributions as soon as possible to exchange for something," and then stopped explaining.
The relationship between her and Song Yan seemed to be nothing more than roommate and classmate.
Even though a man and a woman were alone, living in the same room, getting along day and night, even sleeping on the same bed, there was no spark between the two.
But it’s not surprising, Song Yan quickly figured out the reason.
He has an ordinary appearance. Although the girl is not stunningly beautiful, she is still quite beautiful. She is with him not because she has a crush on him, but because she wants to be safe and so that he can still have some sense.
That kind of love at first sight is really impossible to happen to him.
So, he suddenly began to wonder again why Wang Susu took the initiative towards him like that.
This night, after his shift, he sat on duty on the fifth staircase.
When the two passed each other, they were not as wary as they were at first.
Obviously, these days of getting along have given the two of them a basic trust in each other, and they started to talk a little more casually.
Song Yan called out: "Qi Yao."
Qi Yao was lying on the quilt and yawning. At this time, he casually responded: "Yes." Song Yan thought about it. Said: "That day, Wang Susu and I stayed in the house. Wang Susu She almost pounced on me and tried to force me to do it, and then I grabbed a knife, and then we faced each other until daytime.
Tell me, why did she do this? What kind of situation? ”
He didn't expect to get the answer, but he was confused, so he told the only person in the Demon Sect who could speak.
Qi Yao was silent for a moment and suddenly said: "Don't you know anything about Xuangen?"
"Of course."
"I have heard of it A little bit, I can tell you, or Maybe you will understand after listening to it."
Qi Yao hesitated for a moment, and then said softly: "Xuangen is the foundation for people to contact Xuanqi. Without this, there is no way to practice.
But there are also three, six or nine levels of profound roots.
The inferior ones are called 'human mysterious roots', also called miscellaneous mysterious roots. Those with these mysterious roots mainly absorb the other party's Yang Yuan or Yin Yuan through dual cultivation. They can also take elixirs to practice, but elixirs are expensive and hard to come by, so they are not as efficient and save money as dual cultivation.
These people will raise a partner and feed it with the treasures of heaven and earth to make it energetic and full of yang and yin.
But even so, dual cultivation will have different results due to different techniques.
The method of dual cultivation of the right path progresses slowly, but when the monk absorbs the vitality of his partner, he will also give back some, so that his partner can live longer and be free from all diseases.
However, the evil method progresses very quickly, because the monks regard their partners as drugs and directly take them like crazy. Even if they are supplemented by precious things, their partners will not live for long and often die early if they do not take supplements. Faster. "
After saying this, she stopped and said: "Maybe that Wang Susu is Zaxuangen. She is practicing with the dual cultivation method. If she can practice successfully, maybe she can get rid of her status as a handyman. , and became an official disciple of the Puppet Sect. "
Song Yan said: "Then I will see how the young man who entered the house with her tomorrow does. "
Qi Yao said: "No need to read it. "
"Why? ”
"I've seen it for you. She's in low spirits, but she's obsessed with Wang Susu. Apparently, Wang Susu exchanged her contribution points for a lot of things, maybe including crazy fans."
"Crazy Heart" Powder?”
“Well, a kind of evil medicinal powder that will Burn the hair into powder and mix it into the powder, and then let the target smell it, and the target will make the drug user fall in love and want to do that with her."
Song Yan:.
He felt scared for a while, and he was now basically sure that this might be the case with Wang Susu.
Fortunately, he was quick with the knife that day. If he had been slower for a moment and accidentally absorbed the love powder, he would probably be on the road to becoming a drug dregs now.
"These evil heretics use all possible means in their cultivation to harm the common people. They are really vicious." Qi Yao clenched her fists, her expression full of hatred.
When Song Yan heard this, he was stunned for a moment.
Qi Yao asked: "Don't you hate it?"
Song Yan nodded repeatedly and said: "Hate."
Qi Yao smiled brightly and said: "I knew you were a good person, and you will definitely understand my thoughts. Good night."
"Hey, Sister Qi, you haven't mentioned other profound roots yet."< br>
“I’m sleepy, tomorrow Besides.
Besides, it has nothing to do with you.
You are a kidnapped handyman. The most important thing is to live well. Don’t think that this has nothing to do with you.
If one day you can leave the magic gate and return to the mortal world, then find a wife to marry, work at sunrise, rest at sunset, and live a stable life. "
Speaking, Qi Yao turned over and said no more.
The night was getting dark.
However, Song Yan would not let her sleep.< br>
The woman in front of him obviously knew about Xuan Gen. This was a great opportunity for him to understand the world. How could he miss it just because he wanted to be a gentleman?
The other party doesn’t want to say it, so should that be the case?
So, he shouted: "Sister Qi, tell me, I want to listen. Sister Qi? Sister Qi, don't sleep!"
Qi Yao:.
< br>Song Yan smiled and said: "I know, you are also a good person. We are all good people."
