Master Lu Yue's expression changed, his smile faded a little, and his eyes became a little colder: "My friend, are you making nonsense and deliberately teasing me?"
This little girl is ignorant of the immensity of the world. It has taken me so many years of research to gradually gain some insights, and she just casually says something simple?
Lu Yujiao, who was standing by, was not so afraid of Shi Yu because of his father's presence. He sneered, "How shameless! My father spent several years researching this broken talisman..."
"Yu Jiao." Master Lu Yue glanced at her.
Lu Yujiao immediately shut his mouth, but kept glancing at Shi Yu with a suspicious look.
Chen Er also became worried.
He was anxious in his heart, thinking: "Master Lu Yue has devoted himself to the study of the Way of Talismans for decades, and has been promoted to the second-grade Talisman Master for a long time. In terms of attainments in the Way of Talismans, no one in the Yuxu Sect can compare to him."
Shi Yu ignored the surging emotions of the few people, only raised his eyebrows slightly, and smiled: "How dare you play tricks on a real person."
Master Lu Yue's expression was uncertain. After a moment, he said, "Since you said so, how about letting me learn from you?"
Shi Yu nodded and looked closely at the remaining talisman in his hand.
The remaining talisman was riddled with holes, as if it had been through countless years of accumulation, and it exuded a faint, ancient atmosphere.
She spoke in a light voice: "The information hidden above is the location of a grave."
As soon as these words came out, Master Lu Yue showed a look of surprise on his face.
He seemed to have been hit, his face gloomy: "Young friend, please continue."
"The arrangement of the source patterns not only points to directions, but also contains some metaphors and riddles, meaning where the life and death points are in the tomb."
After saying this, Shi Yu drew the layout of the mechanisms inside the tomb on paper and explained them one by one.
Different from general magic talismans, there are also talismans that are specifically used to hide information, and one must constantly deduced in order to obtain the message contained therein.
However, the talisman in front of him was an incomplete one, which undoubtedly greatly increased the difficulty of deduction.
But Shi Yu was familiar with countless source patterns and had a deep accumulation of knowledge in the art of talismans. With this as a foundation, he only needed to take a few glances at the broken source patterns on the broken talisman and deduce them a few times in his mind to identify what source pattern it was and what types of source patterns might be connected to it.
Just like solving Sudoku, once you deduce a few key nodes, you will understand everything and the hidden messages will naturally come to you.
Her voice was steady and calm as she explained sentence by sentence, and every source pattern was clear and transparent in her eyes.
“……”Master Lu Yue’s face turned darker.
What Shi Yu said coincided exactly with what he had learned from his research over the years.
He doubted himself for a moment, thinking: "Seeing how relaxed she is, she can see the key points in just a few glances... Could it be that I am just looking at the world from a narrow perspective?"
After Shi Yu finished speaking, Master Lu Yue was silent for a while, and finally took a deep breath: "Yes, after I figured out the location, I went there excitedly and indeed found a grave."
"It's a pity that when I went there, the tomb had already been completely destroyed and nothing was left."
Master Lu Yue had a vague guess about the owner of the broken talisman. The place where the broken talisman pointed to was most likely the location of his tomb. He had hoped to find the location of the tomb from the talisman and find the inheritance in it.
However, he did not expect that after spending several years, the solution was finally found. He went to search for it with great joy, but all he found was a ruined tomb that had long been destroyed. Naturally, he got nothing.
If not for this, he would not have easily taken out the talisman for Shi Yu to observe and test.
Master Lu Yue paused for a moment before he clasped his hands and said, "My friend... you are truly amazing."
Shi Yu raised his eyelashes, his long eyebrows bent and his eyes were clear and bright: "I don't deserve it."
In comparison, Master Lu Yue himself was only a second-rank talisman master, and was far inferior to her in terms of the depth of his understanding of source patterns and his ability to deduce the connections between source patterns.
He was only familiar with a hundred or so source patterns at most. To rely on this little knowledge to deduce and complete the remaining runes would naturally require years or even decades of hard work.
And there is a high possibility that the deduction will be wrong in the middle, and it is hard to say whether you will go deeper and deeper into the wrong direction. After all, the source lines are interlinked and affect each other. If one line is wrong, it is not impossible that the whole plan will be wrong.
Shi Yu gently stroked the surface of the talisman and was about to return the remaining talisman to him. When he took another look at it, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
At that moment just now, she felt a mysterious aura lurking in it, hidden very deeply.
Shi Yu's expression remained unchanged as he returned the remaining talisman to Lu Yue, thinking to himself, "There is actually a mystery inside..."
At this time, Master Lu Yue was completely convinced by Shi Yu.
It took Shi Yu only a short moment to explain what I had studied for many years before I understood. Indeed, for her, the phrase "so simple" was not an exaggeration.
Such attainments in the way of talismans...
Master Lu Yue smiled bitterly and shook his head. He no longer had any doubts about the "Master" that Shi Yu had mentioned earlier. He thought to himself, "My disciple is so talented, how powerful must her Master be..."
For a moment, I couldn't help but feel fascinated and envious.
Lu Yujiao watched things develop in an unimaginable direction and buried her head, not daring to say a word.
She was not stupid. She knew what her father's expression meant. She also knew what kind of important person she had offended, and she regretted it deeply.
At this moment, Lu Yujiao only hoped that this matter would be resolved as soon as possible, and she would never cause trouble for this master and servant again.
Master Lu Yue looked at the broken talisman in his hand again and sighed. He felt that after immersing himself in it for several years, looking back, it was really boring.
Suddenly, he raised his hand and a flame shot out, burning the remaining talisman.
Lu Yujiao was shocked: "Daddy!"
Shi Yu watched the remaining talisman burn and the ashes scattered in the wind. His expression was calm and his eyes flickered slightly.
Master Lu Yue showed an expression of annoyance on his face: "I have wasted a lot of time on this useless talisman."
He glanced at his daughter and saw that she was still standing there. He glared at her and said, "Yujiao, why don't you apologize to Shi Xiaoyou?"
Lu Yujiao shuddered, and after some hesitation, she took out another storage bag and handed it to Shi Yu, biting her lower lip: "Shi, Miss Shi..."
Master Lu Yue frowned and shouted, “Kneel down!”
Lu Yujiao hurriedly knelt down in front of Shi Yu.
She had never been scolded so loudly by her father, and she had to kneel down and apologize to a woman who was much younger than her. She felt so aggrieved that tears kept streaming down her face, but she didn't dare to say a word.
"My daughter is indeed spoiled. I will teach her a lesson when I get back. I hope you won't blame me."
Only at this moment did Master Lu Yue feel scared.
She was afraid that Shi Yu would be dissatisfied and that the master behind her would come looking for her.
Shi Yu curved his eyebrows, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
She knew without even looking that the storage bag that Lu Yujiao took out this time definitely contained much more valuable things than the two hundred spirit stones and two bottles of pills she had taken out before.
Master Lu Yue coughed, raised his hand to take the storage bag from Lu Yujiao, and said to Shi Yu:
"My daughter sincerely apologized and knew she was wrong. The storage bag contained the cultivation resources she had carefully accumulated."
"Well..." He hesitated for a moment, fearing that Shi Yu, with his background, would not appreciate Lu Yujiao's things, so he took out another storage bag from his sleeve, "This will be my apology for my daughter's sin, what do you think..."
After he finished speaking, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, with a look of distress.
Shi Yu took the things and put them on the table, then said with a smile, "This matter is written off."
Only then did Master Lu Yue and Lu Yujiao heave a sigh of relief and did not stay any longer, leaving in a hurry, fearing that Shi Yu would change his mind again.
After the two left, Shi Yu turned his head and looked at Chen Er who had been standing obediently beside him, and raised his chin, pointing to the storage bag on the table: "Take it, you have suffered this time, these should be yours."
Chen Er, however, refused to accept it and shook his head repeatedly: "You should keep it, young master."
He is self-aware.
These things would never have been taken out by Master Lu Yue if he hadn't been concerned about Shi Yu's background. How could he have the nerve to take them so shamelessly?
Knowing this, Yu didn't like these back-and-forth refusing and evading. Chen Er only took the two hundred spirit stones and two bottles of elixirs that Lu Yujiao gave him at the beginning: "These are more than enough for my cultivation."
He had previously run errands for Shi Yu and the remuneration he received was just a few tiny spirit stones to Shi Yu, not worth mentioning, but it made Chen Er richer than ordinary casual cultivators and outer disciples.
He himself has a spiritual vein of the lower grade seven points. Relying on these cultivation resources, he has now entered the second level of Qi Refining, which is considered pretty good.
Shi Yu looked down upon the two hundred spirit stones and pills that Lu Yujiao took out, but for a low-level cultivator, it was a considerable fortune.
"Young Master also gave me spirit stones and elixirs. If it weren't for Young Master's support, the rest of my things would never be on the table now. They belong to Young Master."
Seeing that he insisted, Shi Yu said no more.
The two talked for a few more words before Chen Er left.
After Chen Er left, Shi Yu casually glanced at the two storage bags given to him from behind and raised his eyebrows slightly.
He thought that Lu Yujiao had indeed spent a lot of money, and the things that Master Lu Yue gave him were even more impressive.
But at the moment, Shi Yu did not have the mind to examine these in detail. Instead, he took out a stack of white paper and silently drew the source patterns on the remaining talisman based on his memory.
The broken talisman, on the surface, points to a grave, but in fact it holds another secret.
If she hadn't taken one last look at it, she would have almost ignored it.
