Under the dim swaying oil lamp and the mottled red-painted wooden table, Zhou Baopu's eyes were glowing with brilliance, flashing with endless anticipation. He looked at the little black turtle opposite, his expression looked excited and happy, and he seemed extremely happy about the verbal battle just now. satisfy.
The broken windows no longer blocked the wind. When the wind blew, they would make a rattling sound. The wind swept over the lights on the table, swaying the restless lights, and also swayed Zhou Baopu's head scattered on the table, making it turbulent. The figures of little black turtles scattered on the table.
Suddenly covering the flickering flame at the tip of the oil lamp with both hands, Zhou Baopu did not notice that an unnatural light flashed in the little black turtle's eyes.
"Really? Is what you said true? Do you really have a way to make me memorize all the medicinal formulas?"
Zhou Baopu's voice was full of urgency, as if he paused before speaking, what he expected It will be like an empty joy.
"Are you so happy?"
The little black turtle's voice weakened, probably because he knew that he really made a mistake this time.
"Of course I'm happy. Didn't you say that you want me to ridicule Zhou Yuanlong severely? Didn't you also say that, in fact, my talent was not very good before, but after being transformed by your essence and blood, it must be better than Zhou Yuan's talent? It's ten times and a hundred times better, so I can easily surpass him in cultivation?" It
turns out that the reason why Zhou Baopu was so confident and unceremoniously ridiculed Zhou Yuan in front of the whole village was that Secretly listened to what the little black turtle said.
The Little Black Turtle told Zhou Baopu that after experiencing its essence and blood reshaping his meridians, Zhou Baopu's talent had risen to an astonishing level. Although Zhou Baopu's talent may not be astonishing or weeping, it is more than enough to ridicule a little Luo Luo like Zhou Yuan.
It was precisely for this reason that Zhou Baopu took the risk of being called a fool by everyone and unscrupulously ridiculed Zhou Yuan.
Although he didn't seem to get any advantage in the end, it still made Zhou Baopu feel disapproving. Anyway, he would always surpass Zhou Yuan in the future, so he should let him win first.
So regardless of the villagers' ghostly expressions, or the various discussions, ridicules, and questions behind him, Zhou Baopu quickly grabbed the little black turtle, came to their hut, and asked this important question related to his reputation.
"Come on, tell me, I will do whatever you want me to do from now on. Is this okay?"
Zhou Baopu looked at the little black turtle's eyes rolling around, thinking that the little black turtle was trying to get some benefit, but he said After saying this, the little black turtle still had no idea what to do.
"Actually. Forget it, I was defeated by you. Let me tell you the truth, there is no way I can decipher that strange old man's medicine recipe." It was like a lightning strike on Zhou Baopu's head
. For some reason, Zhou Baopu felt dizzy, as if he didn't believe what he heard.
"What? Are you saying that all the things you said to me outside the courtyard gate were all lies to me?"
There was no anger, no excitement, not even a trace of human emotion.
However, just such plain and gentle words made the little black turtle's head turn to the side, and he could no longer say anything.
"Why did you lie to me?"
Zhou Baopu's voice was still light, as clear as the spring in the mountain stream, as light as the clouds on the mountain top, without any human emotion at all.
"I'm sorry, Baopu. I just..."
The little black turtle wanted to explain via voice transmission that the reason why it lied to Zhou Baopu was just because it didn't want Zhou Baopu to lose its momentum in front of Zhou Yuan.
"Okay, I don't blame you. It was my fault in judgment."
Zhou Baopu stopped the little Xuan Turtle's voice transmission before he could finish speaking, and continued to explain: "I know that in the situation at that time, you must be You don't want me to lose my momentum, so you help me like that. But don't you know that your temporary impulsiveness has already caused me to lose something in front of the whole village?" "By the way, you have only gained intelligence not long ago
. , and lived in the mountains for a long time. How can you understand after telling you so much?"
Zhou Baopu became silent and took out the medicine book from his arms. His eyes began to become distracted, as if he had a feeling of abandonment. .
"Baopu, I'm sorry."
The little mysterious turtle apologized to Zhou Baopu, but found that Zhou Baopu ignored it at all, which made it feel an unspeakable bitterness in its heart.
Zhou Baopu opened the book of medicine again, and he didn't hold out much hope, because he had already been in despair, how could he remember something that he had forgotten at a glance.
Zhou Baopu remembered that Wang Caifeng said that if he still wanted to become a blood refiner three months later, she would give him a chance and guide him to get started.
Even if he can't recite the medicinal formula successfully, it doesn't matter, but Zhou Baopu is really unwilling to give in. For him, every opportunity is to be grasped, not to give up, let alone to escape.
He didn't ask Wang Caifeng why she could lead him into the world of blood refiners, but Zhou Baopu believed that Wang Caifeng would never deceive him.
The opened medicinal booklet slightly reflected the light, silently exuding little bits of fluorescence. The moonlight outside the window seemed like a ghost, silently shining on the medicinal booklet.
The dark clouds in the sky were blown by the wind and suddenly dispersed. A gust of wind blew and the dark clouds were blown away. Revealing the moon hidden behind the dark clouds.
Zhou Baopu's eyes began to be in a trance. When he opened the first page, he didn't notice anything unusual. But when he stared at the image of the medicinal herb, he suddenly discovered that the medicinal herb on the first page had become dim. For a while, it seemed as if it was covered by dark clouds.
The moonlight shines on the table, and the table becomes extremely bright. The moonlight shines on the window lattice, and the window lattice becomes bright and clean. The moonlight shines on the little black turtle, and the little black turtle becomes crystal clear. The moonlight shines on the medicinal formula, and the medicine However, the spectrum looked plain and bleak, and there was no significant difference from the absence of moonlight.
Zhou Baopu raised his head and looked out the window. He thought it was cloudy, but he never thought that the clouds had opened and the moon was bright, which was a rare good weather.
Zhou Baopu speculated in his mind, thinking about the reason why the picture of medicinal herbs became dim. It seemed that he had grasped something key, but he still felt that something was missing.
Turning his head, looking at the dim room illuminated by the moonlight, looking at the bumpy floor stained by the moonlight, looking at the water in the basin reflecting the bright full moon in the sky, Zhou Baopu finally smiled. He smiled, his expression relaxed, and his brows relaxed happily.
"Did you find something?"
The little black turtle was quite worried when he saw Zhou Baopu's smile. He didn't know whether Zhou Baopu smiled bitterly or sweetly.
"I found that these pictures can actually absorb moonlight."
Zhou Baopu's voice was not loud, but he revealed endless confidence, which made the little Xuan Turtle's heart tremble, but the little Xuan Turtle still asked matter-of-factly: "Even if it can absorb Moonlight, so what, can't you still remember it?"
"Since you can absorb moonlight, there must be something strange about it. Under the light, I can't remember it, but under the moonlight, maybe, There will be some gratifying changes."
Although this is just a guess, it undoubtedly stimulated Zhou Baopu's interest and encouraged Zhou Baopu to try.
