The right way to pretend to be inscrutable

Although he said "trouble" and "headache", Chu Yao's body was very honest.

Under Bai Duan's expectant eyes, he went to bookstores and libraries the next day to get a lot of introductory and advanced books on Feng Shui. After all, Bai Duan is still an "ancient man" at heart, and he prefers to read paper books. Not used to using e-books——As for those so-called "teachers never to pass on" secret books and unique skills, Chu Yao has no way to get them for the time being.

After getting a lot of feng shui books, Bai Duan naturally couldn't put it down, and with the ambition of becoming a feng shui master, he couldn't wait to read them carefully—however, Bai Duan's learning process was not smooth.

Feng Shui is a complex, trivial and difficult study, which involves many aspects of knowledge in various fields, and also pays attention to understanding and chance.As the saying goes, "Looking for the dragon for three years, acupuncture for ten years", every Fengshui master has gone through years of study, research and practical training, even a younger Fengshui master like Zhao Yu is still seven or eight years old. So I followed the master, taught and instructed by the master, after 30 to [-] years of painstaking research, this is the current achievement.

As a guy who has just come into contact with modern society not long ago, and has only heard one name of Feng Shui, Bai Duan held those large volumes of Feng Shui books, and just after turning a few pages, he felt dizzy in front of his eyes and dizzy in his mind. It's a mess, I forgot the first half after watching the second half.

The basis of Feng Shui is Zhouyi, Five Elements, and Bagua Yinyang. Although the theory in the cultivation world is not much different from it, it is not accessible to Bai Duan.

If you don't rely on spiritual training, the spirit devouring mink is not a long-lived spirit beast, but five years old is still too young for the devouring mink.Spirit-eating ferrets at this age are not much different from human adolescence, they are both lively, active, impetuous and sensitive, even if they practice, they only rely on their racial instincts, and it is extremely difficult to settle down to learn those long, complicated, difficult and boring lessons Works on Kung Fu.

Bai Duan was favored by Zhenjun Guxiao, and had never been systematically exposed to these theories at all, and it was even more difficult to find clues and straighten out his thoughts relying solely on reading books. He was either in a daze or distracted, and his progress was extremely slow.

Of course, Bai Duan was not completely fruitless. At the very least, he succeeded in making his first magic weapon - Five Emperors Coin.

The Five Emperors refer to the five emperors Shunzhi, Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong, and Jiaqing of the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty was the closest dynasty to modern times. There were many ancient coins handed down, which are relatively common collections, but this does not mean that the "Five Emperors" Money" is a magic weapon that is easy to manufacture.

First of all, these coins must be genuine, and second, there needs to be spiritual energy contained in the coins.Bai Duan didn't know the reason for the existence of these auras, maybe it was a coincidence; maybe it was because of the large number of people who handled it, and it contained popularity; maybe it came from a family of great kindness, and had some merit; maybe it was stored together with other things rich in auras, So contaminated with spiritual energy.

In short, to be able to collect the five kinds of copper coins with spiritual energy, it still requires a certain amount of chance and discernment. Fortunately, Bai Duan can't identify ancient coins, but knows how to find spiritual energy, and there are many stalls in the "ghost market" of Zangbaolou Among them, the ancient coins are the big ones, and he has put together a whole set without knowing it.

Following the illustrated steps in the book, Bai Duan strung the five copper coins together with a red thread, feeling both curious and apprehensive.

As the five emperors' coins gradually took shape, the shallow aura contained in the copper coins interacted and resonated with each other. After the white satin tied the final knot, there was a "buzz" and the aura was released, forming a network of aura around the five coins. .

Because the copper coin itself does not contain much aura, this layer of aura network is not very strong, but it can also help the holder avoid disasters and suppress luck, so it can be regarded as a low-grade magic weapon.

Although Bai Duan had seen a more powerful magic weapon before in the world of comprehension, it was his "first time" and it was very commemorative, and Bai Duan had just absorbed so much evil energy, and the thin spiritual energy in the five emperors' money He didn't like it either, so he finally put it away and gave it to Mama Li.

Li's mother was surprised and delighted when she received the gift from Bai Duan.Although the five emperors' money was rusty and not very attractive, and the red thread tied on the white satin was twisted and ugly, but Li Ma didn't care at all. Put it away and store it close to your body.

Bai Duan's cheeks were flushed to bear Mama Li's praise and thanks, his lips were slightly curled up, his eyes were curved, revealing a rare childish softness, Chu Yao, who was reading a book, snorted coldly, and his tone was a bit yin and yang: "You really laughed!" stupid."

Bai Duan's expression froze, she pursed her lips, and lowered her head a little at a loss, but in the next second, Mama Li gave her a "touch on the head": "What are you talking about, young master? I don't think anyone is laughing." It looks even better than our little satin!"——It makes people feel so happy when they see it, and all worries and troubles fly away.

Hearing that Mama Li was protecting the white satin, Chu Yao cast a sideways glance at the two of them, closed the book in his hand heavily, put it under his arm, turned his head and went up to the second floor without saying a word.

Bai Duan looked at Chu Yao's back, at a loss. He turned his head to look at Li Ma, his eyes were full of pleading for help, but Li Ma chuckled lightly and said lightly, "Young master is losing his temper and jealous again!"

Bai Duan blinked her eyes with a dazed expression.

Mama Li sighed in her heart, feeling affectionate and helpless for Bai Duan's ignorant appearance: "Why did Xiao Duan give me a gift?"

"Because I like Mama Li!" Bai Duan replied straightforwardly without hesitation.

He likes Mama Li.Mama Li loves and takes good care of him who is a mink. Until now, she still takes the time to go outside for a walk, look for him, and post inspirations about finding a pet. She has never given up on searching.As for the human-shaped Bai Duan, he is as loving and gentle as he is to his own grandson, taking care of everything, and he is not at all vigilant and alienated because he is a stranger who appears suddenly.

Hearing Bai Duan's answer, Li's mother's smile deepened: "Then, doesn't Xiao Duan like the young master?"

"Of course... I like it too." Bai Duan smiled slightly.

Although at the beginning, Bai Duan was afraid of Chu Yao, and even hated him a little, but the relationship between people (?) is still developed after getting along.Later, Chu Yao gave him great help, and patiently took care of him and worried about him when he was sick, so that Bai Duan finally completely let go of his previous prejudices and really got close to Chu Yao.

"Then, why doesn't Xiaodu give a gift to the young master?" Li's mother was persuasive.

Bai Duan tilted her head, her tone was natural: "Of course it's because Mama Li needs it more!"

There is only one set of five emperors' money, so it is natural to give it to those who need it most.Li Ma is getting old, no matter how strong her body is, she is not as healthy as a young man, and she needs the protection and nourishment of a gentle magic weapon like the five emperors money most.As for Chu Yao...Bai Duan always felt that the Great Demon King of Chu was omnipotent and far away from gods and ghosts, so why would he need a little thing like the Five Emperors' money to protect him?

Regarding Bai Duan's reasons, Li Ma couldn't refute at all, and could only sigh "the heart of a child".

She raised her hand and patted Bai Duan's head: "I know what you think, but the young master doesn't know? He also likes you very much, but he won't be happy if he didn't get your gift—the young master doesn't care." The value and function of the gift, whether it can be used for self-defense, just depends on your mind."

Bai Duan blinked her eyes, half understanding: "So... if I make him another gift with my own hands, will he be happy?"

"That's the reason!" Mama Li nodded.

With Mama Li's affirmation, Bai Duan naturally took action immediately.Although the five emperors' money is gone, he has another "craft", which is wood carving.

Bai Duan was lively and active when he was a child. Although Zhenjun Guxiao was reluctant to restrain him and let him learn all kinds of boring knowledge, he tried his best to sharpen his temper and let him be quiet for a while, so that he could at least calm down and practice. .

In order to make Bai Duan quiet but not let him be bored, Zhenjun Gu Xiao tried several methods, and finally found that Bai Duan liked to carve, especially with wood. After all, the stone is too hard, and it takes a lot of time and effort to carve.

The spirit devouring mink is a keen creature, likes to be close to nature, likes the fragrance of wood, and also likes small and exquisite utensils.Being able to create an object according to one's own mind is still very interesting to Bai Duan.

Since taking shape, Bai Duan has carved countless small things, and the most skillful and best carved is "Spirit Devouring Mink" itself - after all, in Bai Duan's heart, Spirit Devouring Mink is the most beautiful and elegant creature .On the waist of Zhenjun Guxiao, there is always a pendant in the shape of a spirit-eating mink, which is the masterpiece of Bai Duan.

As a spirit beast and also an animal, Bai Duan also has the instinct to occupy territory.He likes to leave ornaments that symbolize himself on Zhenjun Guxiao, as if he is declaring to everyone that he has a close relationship with Zhenjun Guxiao.

——If Chu Yao also has such a certificate on his body, it seems to be quite good.

The more Bai Duan thought about it, the more excited he became, and the carving movements in his hands became faster.His slender fingers carefully pinched the wooden block, and the blade formed by the condensed spiritual power was light and flexible. Soon, a lifelike spirit-devouring marten gradually took shape in his hands.

Appreciating his own work, Bai Duan felt very satisfied, and always felt that his craft was getting more and more refined.Look at the elegant and exquisite mink on the wood carving, it is exactly like him!

Holding her "gift", Bai Duan was excited and knocked on Chu Yao's door.

When Chu Yao opened the door, he saw Bai Duan's flattering bright eyes at first sight, then moved his gaze down, and found the wooden mink held in the palm of his white hands.

There was a trace of satisfaction in Chu Yao's eyes, thinking that this little guy still has a conscience - after all, the five emperors' money is a little hard to find, but it is not complicated to make, but this wooden mink is much more delicate, obviously it cost a lot of money. Bai Duan has a lot of energy.

And... Well, it is more symbolic and more beautiful than the five emperors' coins, so this is a gift that fits his status.

Although he was satisfied in his heart, Chu Yao still felt a little resentful about the fact that he was the second to get the white satin gift.He raised his eyebrows slightly, picked up the wood carving and looked at it, with a disgusted tone: "What is this? It's for me?"

"Hmm!" Seeing that Chu Yao didn't seem to be very happy, Bai Duan felt a little uneasy, "Don't you like it?"

"Barely close your eyes." Chu Yao snorted softly, holding the wood carving in his palm, "For the sake of your hard work, I will accept it."

Bai Duan: "..."

——Although the gift has been sent out, I am still a little unhappy...

"Oh, by the way, this wooden carving looks familiar? Is it the mink that our family lost?" Chu Yao raised the corners of his mouth maliciously.

Bai Duan: "..."

"Speaking of which, how do you know what that ferret looks like? It is a little different from ordinary ferrets, but you can carve them exactly the same. It's really rare!" Chu Yao exclaimed hypocritically.

Bai Duan: "..."

Chu Yao crossed his arms and stared at Bai Duan slightly: "Tell me, how do you explain this matter?"

Bai Duan: "..."

——Bad, bad guy!I will never give you gifts again QAQ
