Cross-border surveillance

The small courtyard in the other world was still sunny, but because of the surveillance angle, Tao An didn't know the specific position of the sun over there, but judging from the shadows of the buildings covering half of the courtyard, it was probably the afternoon.

"I remember last night, not long after dark, I saw that it was early morning over there. One day passed, and it was only afternoon over there? How long is it now?" Tao An was a little surprised when he noticed this, but he also knew that the time on both sides The flow rate is the same, but the length of a day is different in different worlds.

Then he thought of the sayings in some Chinese mythological works on the earth, which said that one day in the sky and one year on the earth, it is estimated that the length of a day in the sky is equivalent to a year on the earth, rather than the same length of a day, the day in the sky has passed by the earth. One year.

Otherwise, if the monkey goes up to the sky to move the rescue soldiers back to the underground to rescue the master, wouldn't it mean that the day lily is cold?

The exact length of a day on the opposite side of the earth is equivalent to that on this side of the earth. Tao An took a screenshot of a shadow over there at night, and it needs to be compared and verified at the same location.

When Tao An paid attention to the small courtyard over there through surveillance, the courtyard was not empty. Not only Hall Master Du and the little boy Zhao Yang were there, but also the fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl.

Hall Master Du was sitting on a stone bench holding a thin yellowed book. It was obvious that not long after he sat down, the book had just turned to the first page. A few meters away from him was Zhao Yang, who was practicing the taking exercise method. Obviously unable to figure it out, Hall Master Du raised his head from time to time to remind him, and even got up to correct his movements and explain the essentials and tricks in person, which left him little time to concentrate on reading.

There was an exquisite copper incense burner placed on the stone table. A thin incense stick burned slowly inside, and green smoke curled up.

The quaint and quiet courtyard, stone tables, burning incense, ancient masters and apprentices preaching and practicing, this scene has a sense of being out of the world in Tao An's eyes.

The fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl was holding a broom and sweeping the petals on the stone floor that had been mottled by time.

Her natural beauty and refined movements, coupled with her gentle movements in cleaning the fallen flowers, make her look like a young woman stepping out of an ink painting, which is a pleasure to watch.

Tao An didn't pay too much attention to the girl. He focused on the master and apprentice pair, Hall Master Du and Zhao Yang. He was secretly learning to take food and practice physical skills. He was afraid of missing any key that would be useful to him.

However, after a moment of observation, Tao An discovered that what Hall Master Du pointed out to Zhao Yang had been repeated in the morning, and there was nothing new. However, this did not make Tao An take it lightly. I missed something useful.

When Hall Master Du once again asked Zhao Yang to practice sitting down and reading alone, Tao An also focused on the book in his hand.

"Could it be that what he took was some kind of secret book on martial arts?"

Thinking of this, Tao An controlled the surveillance screen to focus on the book. The screen was still clear when enlarged, and he could clearly see the text on it, and he silently turned on the video recording.

Tao An was still a little embarrassed about peeking at or even recording the contents of other people's books, but he thought that he regarded Hall Master Du as his master, and his apprentice looked at his master's things. Isn't this too much?

It's the master, not the master. After all, the other party didn't admit it...

This was the first time Tao An came into contact with books or even words from another world, and then he was surprised to find that he could barely understand some of the words in the books!

"Isn't this the small seal script from the Qin Dynasty of China?"

Tao An was shocked. In order to confirm his suspicion, he watched the surveillance footage and opened his laptop to search and compare.

That's right, it's Xiaozhuan.

But the question is, how could ancient Chinese characters like Xiaozhuan appear in another world? It is impossible for the First Emperor to unify the Liuhe and then unify the writing, and then also unify the other worlds.

Moreover, Tao An believed that the opposite side was definitely not the ancient Earth. After all, the two moons in the sky were not aligned.

"Speaking of which, the people opposite speak Chinese with a smooth accent, and the accents are just a little different, so the emergence of ancient characters such as Xiaozhuan is acceptable. Although I don't know whether it is true or not, the sands of the Ganges River among the civilizations of the three thousand worlds, It’s not surprising to see two leaves that are similar occasionally.”

After forcing himself to convince himself, Tao An once again focused on the books in Hall Master Du's hands.

I don’t know if the civilization there only focuses on opening up the mysteries of the human body, or if it has not developed to the stage of printing, or if printing has already appeared and I am not that lucky to encounter it now. Anyway, when Tao An saw Du The books in the hands of the hall master were copied by hand.

Maybe it is a good secret that needs to be kept secret by hand.

For ancient Chinese characters like Xiaozhuan, Tao An can only guess based on the Chinese characters he has learned. It is definitely impossible to understand them directly, especially since there are no punctuation marks. If he is lucky enough to save the entire content of the book, there will be more to come. You can compare and 'translate' word by word.

"Is that the secret book of cultivation?"

Tao An couldn't understand it either, so it was definitely good to save it anyway, although even the advanced secrets were of little use to him at the moment. After all, he was still at a stage where he couldn't even get started in martial arts.

Time passed little by little, and Tao An watched the surveillance screen attentively, fearing that he would miss any detail.

Zhao Yang, who is seven or eight years old, is just a child, but he is obviously not stupid. With Hall Master Du, an experienced master, teaching him step by step, as time goes by, with constant correction, he can barely practice the skills and moves. It’s unclear how much I can remember afterward.

As the time for instructing Zhao Yang decreased, Hall Master Du also had more time to read books.

The book was not thick to begin with, with only a dozen pages in total. In one or two hours, Hall Master Du finished it no matter how slowly he flipped through it. Tao An also secretly recorded and saved it.

Originally, he thought that even though he couldn't understand it, he could take time to search Xiaozhuan on the Internet for comparison and translation. Unexpectedly, Hall Master Du put down the book and looked at the sky and said: "Okay, it's better to go too far than it is. Let's stop here today."

After he finished speaking, Zhao Yang, who had been exhausted for a long time, almost collapsed to the ground, but he still insisted on standing in front of his master.

The girl over there had already cleaned the yard. She placed the bamboo broom outside the surveillance screen and went to the stone table to clean up the incense burner.

The incense in the incense burner has been burned out, and Tao An probably guessed that the incense also has the function of timing.

While the girl was packing up the incense burner, Hall Master Du reached out and clicked on the books that had not been put away and said: "Xiao Hui, don't you like making incense? You have always been pestering the master to find you some recipes for making incense. No, This is, there are more than ten kinds of secret recipes for making incense recorded in it. I took a look at it. Each incense has its own uniqueness. You can play with it. But one of them, Ningshen Xiangqian, has been prepared for me. Send me some, it can calm the mind, relieve mental fatigue, and improve concentration. Your little junior brother will need it when he is laying the foundation."

"Really? Thank you, Master. Is there any incense in it that I don't know about?" The girl's eyes lit up and she said in a clear voice, obviously very happy.

Hall Master Du smiled and said, "You already know several kinds of incense, why do you need so many?"

"I just want to try different incense. What girl doesn't want to be fragrant all the time? Why don't you imitate my senior brother and smell like sweat all day long?" the girl said coquettishly and disgustedly, and continued to use The white and tender little hands waved at the nose, not to mention how cute it is.

With a hearty smile, Hallmaster Du said: "There are two kinds of incense among them. I don't know if you know how to use them. The effect can last for several days at a time. There are instructions for using them in the book, as well as the secret recipe for bath incense and how to make sachets. , and the 'spice' preparation method to repel mosquitoes."

"Great, I'll go back and read it carefully later, and try to make it as soon as possible. Well, let's make the concentration incense that my junior brother needs first." The girl smiled sweetly, not forgetting the master's instructions.

Hall Master Du stood up with his hands behind his back and said, "That's it. Your junior brother is also tired. Take him around to relieve his fatigue and get familiar with the environment. By the way, Xiaohui, don't worry about your own martial arts training. Fall, don’t play with things and become disillusioned, putting the cart before the horse.”

"Okay master, my apprentice has a sense of propriety." The girl nodded seriously, and then said to Zhao Yang: "Little junior brother, come with me, I will take you to familiarize yourself with the surroundings, so that you don't have to know where you live."

"Thank you, senior sister"

"Why are you being polite to senior sister?"

Soon the girl left with Zhao Yang, and Hall Master Du also left the surveillance view and returned to the house, but walked out again after a while, holding a fishing basket and fishing rod in his hand, still feeling like a fisherman.

The yard became empty again, and Tao An no longer paid any attention to it.

He then played back the previously recorded video, especially the part that recorded the secret recipe for making incense, and said to himself that feelings are not a secret book of cultivation.

Tao An's interest plummeted after he knew it was not a secret book, but suddenly an idea flashed in his head, could this thing have great potential?

"I currently live in a society governed by the rule of law, and there are very few places where force can be used, but this special secret recipe is different, especially the incense that can last for several days. Although it is no different from pickling, but who is a girl? Don’t you want to smell good on yourself?”

The more Tao An thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. Although he had not yet figured out how to realize the problem if the effect was obvious, it did not prevent him from figuring out the secret recipe for writing in small seal script in advance.

If you can follow the secret recipe to make it, not to mention other things, you can also use the Ningshen Incense mentioned by Hall Master Du...
