A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice.

Chapter 153 Dragon Flame Lizard

When Ximen Kankan heard the voice, his scalp suddenly tightened. He looked up and saw his father Ximen Yong, wearing a square scarf on his head and black shoes on his feet, walking slowly in.

As soon as Ximen Yong entered the room, he saw Ximen Kankan standing in front of the desk, holding a piece of paper in his hand and cheering with shining eyes... Ximen Yong's eyes immediately locked onto the paper!
"Kankan, what are you doing?" Ximen Yong asked as he walked, his eyes flashing.

"No... I didn't do anything..." If Ximen Kankan destroyed the paper now, or directly splashed ink on it, it would be tantamount to confessing his guilt.

But if his father saw him appearing in a pornographic picture, he would definitely hang him up and beat him half to death...

Between two evils, Ximen Kankan decided to choose the lesser one and destroy the painting!

But at this moment, Duan Rong suddenly snatched the painting from his hands, placed it on the table, held the brush in his hand, and began to sketch...

Ximen Kankan was about to stop him, but he saw Duan Rong's brush moving quickly. He first painted the naked Ximen Kankan in the painting with a moon-white scholar's robe, and then painted the naked woman in front of him with tattered clothes. He then quickly outlined and added a few strands of white hair into the black hair on the woman's shoulders. He then drew wrinkles on the woman's face when she turned around, and then he quickly drooped the corners of the woman's mouth and eyes...

As soon as Duan Rong finished the painting, Ximen Yong had already walked to the table. Duan Rong moved his brush and pretended to write an inscription on the side of the painting. In the blank space next to the painting, he wrote: Lying in my room, I hear the rustling of bamboos, which I suspect are the sounds of suffering in the world. Don't say that a good deed is too small, for every branch and leaf is full of emotion.

Ximen Yong stared at the painting on the table, and saw that it was Ximen Kankan in the painting, wearing a moon-white scholar's suit. Next to Ximen Kankan was an old lady in ragged clothes. Ximen Kankan put one hand on the old lady's waist, as if he was supporting the old lady, and sat on an armchair in the hall. The old lady with white hair turned her head and looked at Ximen Kankan, with sadness in her eyes...

Ximen Yong looked at the poem on the side of the painting again, nodded his head and said, "The meaning of this painting is very good, and the poem is even better! What a great sentence! Every branch and leaf is full of emotion! Kankan, Dad has told you again and again that for us businessmen, reputation is the most important! Dad often gave alms to these poor people in times of disaster."

"What is your name, sir?" Ximen Yong turned his gaze towards Duan Rong and asked in a friendly manner.

"My humble servant Duan Rong greets Mr. Ximen!"

Ximen Yong nodded. Duan Rong looked to be about the same age as Ximen Kankan, but he was quite accomplished in poetry and painting. Although he didn't know much about painting books, the few lines of poetry he just wrote were very flavorful. It was obvious that he had extraordinary insights and every word was full of gems.

"Kankan! In the future, spend more time with good teachers and friends like Duan Yashi, and spend less time with Jiang Qingyu and others, running to casinos and brothels every day." Ximen Yong glanced at Ximen Kankan and said.

"Yes, the child knows."

Ximen Yong said, "Frame this painting and hang it in the flower hall in the main courtyard."

Upon hearing this, Ximen Kankan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and glanced at Duan Rong.

"Also, I'm here to tell you! Your father will be in the city for a few days, so you stay home and take care of the house, don't cause any trouble."

"Father, just go to the capital to handle the affairs. I will take care of the family." Ximen Kankan responded obediently.

"Hmm." Ximen Yong snorted softly, took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve, and said, "This is this month's allowance, spend it sparingly..."

Ximen Yong put down the banknote and walked out of Xueyanju.

Ximen Kankan watched Ximen Yong leave, then he turned his head to look at Duan Rong. The look he gave Duan Rong at this moment was as if he was looking at a god!
Duan Rong himself was quite proud of himself. It was all his impromptu thinking just now!
He is so witty!
In the past, there was Cao Zijian, who could compose a poem in seven steps. Now, there is...

Duan Rong glanced at the distance from the entrance of the hall to the desk, and roughly calculated that it was about 10 to 20 steps... Even if it was only 10 to 20 steps, wasn't it still very impressive?
After Ximen Yong left, Ximen Kankan chatted with Duan Rong for a while, and then Duan Rong took the green porcelain bottle of Dragon Flame Fat and left Ximen Mansion.

This dragon flame fat is actually the fat of a rare species produced in the Western Regions, the dragon flame lizard.

This kind of lizard only lives in a crater somewhere in the Tianwei Mountains in the Western Regions. It is less than one foot long and is a small lizard.

Although Duan Rong only purchased two taels of medicine, this amount was the subcutaneous fat scraped from seven or eight lizards. This amount of medicine would cost more than 20,000 taels in Yongzhou, not to mention being transported back to a remote place like Xiangu County.

However, Ximen Kankan only charged Duan Rong the cost price of 20,000 silver coins because of their friendship. Duan Rong agreed to use two exquisite erotic paintings to offset the price, and Ximen Kankan gladly accepted it...

Duan Rong left Ximen Mansion and hurried back to the dilapidated courtyard of the original owner. Duan Rong closed the doors and windows, stood at the door on the east side, and looked up at the beam. Almost at the same time, his figure rose from the ground, and in mid-air, his toes touched the wall. His figure flew past like a swallow skimming the water and landed steadily on the beam.

After absorbing the mastery-level Cloud Snake Step, Duan Rong's lightness skill obviously rose to a new level.

As soon as Duan Rong landed on the beam, his figure flashed and he stood in a corner. He squatted down, peeled off the wooden skin of a secret compartment, and took out the human skin scroll containing the Taizang Sutra.

Duan Rong grabbed the human skin scroll and fell lightly from the beam.

He used scissors to cut off the second level of the skills, and then took out the sachet that Xiao Baijiao gave him from the inner pocket of his lapel.

Duan Rong looked at the sachet in his hand, his eyes moved, and he sniffed it gently. The fragrance of the vanilla in the sachet had dissipated a lot. He then thought, Xiao Baijiao had been dead for almost two months.

The person is gone, and the trace of his beauty is fading...

Duan Rong sighed softly, took out the first level of the Taizang Sutra from the sachet, put the second level of the sachet that he had just cut off from the table, and pressed it under the herbs in the sachet...

Duan Rong pressed the sachet and put it back into the inner pocket of his lapel. Then he grabbed the two human skin scrolls, one large and one small, on the table. He suddenly jumped up and stood on the beam. Duan Rong folded the human skin scroll in his hand and put it into the secret compartment. Then Duan Rong closed the wooden lid of the secret compartment, stood up, and used his feet to evenly spread the dust around the secret compartment. Then he turned over and landed lightly.

Duan Rong locked the door, left the dilapidated courtyard of his original home, and went to Yuanshun Escort Agency.

Duan Rong returned to Liulu and locked the gate. Then he sat on the armchair in the main hall, took out a cut piece of human skin from the sachet, and looked at it carefully...

Not only does it contain the formula and hand seals of the second level of the Taizang Sutra, but it also contains instructions on how to use the Dragon Flame Fat...

Duan Rong sat on the armchair, pondered for a while with a flickering look in his eyes, then suddenly stood up, walked to the large water tank at the kitchen door, scooped a wooden basin of clean water, Duan Rong carried the basin of clean water, walked into the inner room, and placed the basin of clean water in the corner.

Duan Rong turned and walked to the door of the main room, glanced at the high walls and weeping willows in the courtyard, closed the door and bolted it.

Then Duan Rong walked into the inner room, closed the doors and windows, and then stood beside the bed, taking off all his clothes one by one, until he took off his underwear, leaving him completely naked...
