Chapter 45 Talisman Array
" Eighth Young Master, Aunt Chen, it's time to eat..." Ye Cai said with a bow and a nod. Chen Jiuniang's official status had long been squeezed out, so everyone could only call her Aunt.
"Yes, Uncle Cai." Ye Kong put down his chopsticks. He was usually very polite to people, so he asked," What brings you here so late?" Sit down and talk."
"This old servant should stand and speak." Ye Cai knew that this kid had a standard dog face. He would turn hostile whenever he wanted, so how could he dare to sit? She stood still and said," Second Mistress was afraid that it would be inconvenient if there was no one to serve her, so she asked this old servant to send two servant girls over…"
"Oh, then thank you for your kind intentions, Second Grandmother. However, we are used to being busy ourselves and do not need anyone to serve us.”Ye Kong quickly refused. It wasn't that he found the two girls ugly, but that he didn't want anyone to know that he was a cultivator.
If he accepted the two girls, they would soon discover the secret. The servants were very gossipy. In less than a day, the entire residence would know, and then the whole city would know. Wouldn't that be courting death? Ye Kong simply couldn't deal with the high-level Xiumoists he attracted.
However, Ye Cai did not know what he was thinking and thought that he was unhappy. He quickly explained," This old servant deserves to die. Eighth Young Master is a noble family. How can he do trivial work by himself?" If there was any neglect in the past, please don't be calculative with this old servant.”
Ye Kong was amused by the fact that he was already a rich man, so he waved his hand and said," Uncle Cai, look at what you're saying. You've been busy all day, and it's been hard on you. Why should I be calculative with you?" However, we really don't need these two girls…" Seeing that Ye Cai still wanted to nag, Ye Kong rolled his eyes." If you say you don't want them, then you don't. How many times do I have to say it?"”
These people fell for this trick. Ye Cai saw that he was angry and immediately did not dare to breathe loudly. He thought to himself, Sister Ma has so much flesh but she was beaten half to death. This old man has bones and can't withstand three or two punches from him.
Quickly dismiss the two servant girls. These servant girls in the mansion were also very ambitious. Who didn't want to fly up to the branches and become a phoenix? The Eighth Young Master's reputation was at its peak. If he took a fancy to him…
The two servant girls had their own ideas. They had even dressed up before coming, but who knew that this kid would let them go back without even looking at them. Naturally, they were unhappy and did not dare to refute him in front of him. When they returned, they would spread the news that this kid was not interested in women at all. It was either that he was mentally incapable or that he had a physical defect.
Although these two girls were talking behind Ye Kong's back, they had also helped Ye Kong in a way that dispelled many of the girls 'thoughts and prevented them from taking the initiative to pester him.
That was an off-topic topic, but Ye Cai had chased the two maids away. Only then did she smile coquettishly at Ye Kong, not knowing what she wanted to say.
Ye Kong's hair stood on end from his laughter, and he thought to himself, Is this old man waiting for a tip? F * ck him, do you think I have a lot of money? I didn't do anything and you want tips!
Ye Kong was thinking the wrong thing. Even if Ye Cai had the guts, he wouldn't dare to ask for a tip. In reality, he was here to give Ye Kong money.
Ye Cai carefully took out a large envelope of silver from his pocket and placed it on the table. He smiled coquettishly and said," Eighth Young Master, in the past, this old servant…was afraid that you would spend too much, so I secretly took a little from your allowance. Actually, this old servant was kind…I've been saving it for you, and this old servant hasn't touched it."”
Ye Kong immediately understood. This was the silver that the old man had been coveting from him in the past. It looked like two hundred taels of silver. This old man was really cunning! She actually had the nerve to say that she would save it for him.
"Are you afraid that I'll be extravagant? What was the point of using it now? Continue saving it." Ye Kong's expression was unfriendly.
Ye Cai was so scared that he trembled. He thought to himself,'He didn't know about this at first. If I take it out, wouldn't I be asking for trouble and admitting it without a fight?'
The old man hurriedly knelt down and begged," Eighth Young Master, this old servant was muddle-headed for a moment and became greedy. I hope that you can let this old servant go on account of the decades of hard work this old servant has done for the Ye Residence."”
Chen Jiuniang couldn't stand it anymore. She interrupted," Kong 'er, Uncle Cai is good to us. Now that we've got the silver back, let's not be calculative."”
"Yes, yes. Thank you, Aunt Chen. I won't dare to do it again.”
Ye Kong was just trying to scare him, so he nodded and lectured him," There's a song that you sang well. Spit out what you've eaten, and return what you've taken. However, you shouldn't be reluctant to do so. You should know that if there's a chance to make you spit it out and make you return it, it's still luck…If you don't want to vomit even if you want to, then you'll really be in trouble!”
"Yes, yes, yes. This old servant will never be greedy again.”
" That was close..." Ye Cai came out of Ye Kong's courtyard and wiped away his sweat. He scolded," Spit out what you ate and return what you took... There's even a song like this. The person who wrote this song is lacking in virtue."”
Let's not talk about Ye Cai, just Ye Kong, give me the silver. He still has a few thousand taels of Fan Nine Snakes 'silver in his storage bag, so he doesn't care about this money at all.
Chen Jiuniang, on the other hand, was delighted. It wasn't that she was greedy for money, but that she had finally saved enough money for her son to get married. Even if Ye Kong wanted to marry someone now, it wouldn't be too shabby, right?
Unfortunately, Ye Kong didn't want to get married at all. If he wanted to, he would have to find another female cultivator in the future. He could practice Dual Cultivation at night, and he could do Double Cultivation (robbery) during the day. Moreover, everyone's lifespans were about the same. That would be what it meant to be old!
Otherwise, if he were to find a mortal, he would be young, but the other party was already old and deaf. When he went out, others would think that this was his grandmother.
For example, if one cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage, they should have a lifespan of 800 years. His lifespan had only decreased by a little bit, and the other party had already died. If he married another, died again, and married another…Damn it, was it fun to hold a funeral?
Therefore, most Immortal Cultivators would marry a wife who was an Immortal Cultivator. Even Wanxuan Zhenren, who had no hope of advancing, would marry a female cultivator who had no hope of advancing. He would usually not consider mortals. Why? The chances of the next generation having spiritual roots were much higher.
This meant that male cultivators generally did not consider marrying a mortal beauty. On the other hand, it was even more impossible for female cultivators to marry a mortal handsome man. Such stories as the Seven Celestial Maidens, Dong Yong, Bai Suzhen, and Xu Xian were very rare. The probability of such stories happening in Cangnan Continent was infinitely close to zero.
Those female cultivators would rather be single for the rest of their lives than marry mortals. They would never even consider male cultivators whose cultivation level was slightly lower than theirs.
Back to the topic.
Ye Kong returned to his room. He knew very well that if he wanted to live on and live a better life, he had to keep getting stronger. Only by relentlessly cultivating could he become stronger. Climbing up a level meant that he would be a little safer.
However, before he started cultivating, he still had to set up the array. Normally, setting up a formation required formation flags, sand tables, and the like, but Ye Kong didn't have those things. He only had a formation talisman that he had seized from Fan Nine Snake.
Formation talismans were also a type of spiritual talismans. The principle behind it was to seal an array onto a talisman paper. When it was used, it would be activated by spiritual energy. It was convenient and convenient, and it was very suitable for cultivators who did not understand formations.
However, talismans also had flaws. The biggest flaw was that they could not be moved after being set up. If they were destroyed, they could not be repaired.
It wasn't like a formation set up with formation flags, which could be picked up and changed at any time. If it was broken or destroyed, it could still be rearranged. Or, he could also make minor adjustments to the size, range, structure, function, and so on.
Formation talismans did not have the above functions. After using it, the formation talisman would disappear and the formation would be fixed.
Of course, he could still control the opening and closing of the array. As long as there were spirit stones to maintain it and it was not destroyed, the array could last for hundreds of years.
Right now, Ye Kong was preparing to set up this " Spiritual Cultivation Meditation Formation " in his room. This way, he wouldn't have to worry about being disturbed when he cultivated in the future. No one could enter without his permission.
Taking out the talisman, Ye Kong wasn't in a hurry to activate it with Spiritual Energy.
This was because this was the first time he had seen a real spiritual talisman from the Cangnan Continent. As a future talisman master, he felt that it was better to study it first.
Holding the talisman, he sat under the oil lamp and carefully observed the lines and patterns on the talisman.
The creator of this talisman seemed to be an expert, or at least an experienced one. The lines within the square talisman were thick and thin, extremely complicated. There were hooks and hooks, but there was no intersection. It was like a perfectly designed circuit board, beautiful, simple, and neat.
Many of the silver lines were twisting and turning, but the talisman creator still drew them in one go. Even the thickness of the lines did not change at all.
"As expected, it's extraordinary!" Ye Kong was full of praise. It made sense when he thought about it. Even though the cultivation world was full of strange things, there was a reason behind these unimaginable events.
There was a good saying that there was no love for no reason, and there was no hate for no reason. There was no such thing as being invincible just by randomly drawing on a piece of paper.
Even the mystical cultivation continent had its own unique theories, just like the chemistry and physics on Earth. There were rules and reasons for them.
For example, the talisman in Ye Kong's hand had a reason for why the line was drawn this way and why the line was so thick. It was impossible for a formation to be cast just by drawing a few lines with one's eyes closed.
Ye Kong looked like he had been struck dumb. He stared at the clump of lines that no one else could understand. After a while, he nodded and said," I see."”
After a while, he frowned for a long time and looked back and forth. In the end, he slapped his thigh and praised," Good!”
A cool breeze blew, and the flowers and trees rustled in the wind. There were only a few lights left in the massive Ye Residence, but Ye Kong was still staring at the circuit board-oh, the talisman-with fascination.
In the Second Mistress's room, Xiao Hong was reporting on the information she had gathered about Ye Kong during the day. However, she had only highlighted Ye Kong's intelligence and shrewdness, and hadn't mentioned the conversations they had about the brothel.
After listening to the report, Second Mistress nodded and thought for a while before saying," In the future, if you have nothing to do, go to his courtyard to play. Take a look at what he's doing. No matter what, I definitely won't believe that a fool suddenly became so smart. Moreover, his martial arts suddenly became so powerful. Nothing happens for no reason!”
"Oh." When Xiao Hong lowered her head, she couldn't help but feel happy. However, she immediately became troubled and asked," Eighth Young Master is very smart. If he finds out that we're spying on him, will he be angry?”
Second Mistress smiled." No, don't look at him just because he hits people and causes trouble all the time. Those are all people who offended him in front of him. We should treat it as being polite to him. He definitely wouldn't be too embarrassed to turn hostile.”
Xiao Hong quickly flattered her." Second Grandmother is indeed amazing."”
"Learn from me in the future." Second Mistress said smugly.
"But he's not easy to deal with either. We'll be polite to him in front of him and ask about his secrets behind his back.”Xiao Hong mustered up her courage and said," Then he would be polite to his face and attack from behind. Didn't I hear that Ye Hai might have been secretly killed by him?”
"Haha, so you're not stupid." The Second Mistress laughed out loud, then her expression hardened." There will only be opportunities when there is danger. We're not after his life, so what's there to be afraid of? Even if he knows, I'm not afraid."
Xiao Hong was depressed. But I'm afraid that the kid will turn hostile just like that. If you explain it to him, maybe it'll be fine. But I'm afraid I won't even have the chance to explain. At the very least, I'll become the second Sister Ma. At the very least, I'll meet Ye Hai!
The Second Mistress could probably see Xiao Hong's fear. She smiled and said," I'm keeping him in the manor now because I'm hoping that he can help. Why would I harm him? Actually, it's fine to tell him the purpose of finding out his secret. If he finds out, you can tell him.”
