Your Majesty, please stop messing around.

Chapter 54 Zhiyuan’s Master

People who can appear in this Ruyi Building have their own problems!

There are many martial arts masters and dignitaries outside who want to enter Ruyi Tower to have a glimpse of the world but are not allowed to enter. But can the rickety old man in front of him move freely in this building?

Just an old man sweeping the floors?

I'm afraid it's not that simple!

Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes. Although he didn't know Lin Hengzhong well. But I learned a little bit about it from the words of the woman in red and the servants in the house.

Although Lin Hengzhong is not a very suspicious person, he is definitely not a good person. Naturally, a king with a different surname who can destroy other countries and ride on horseback cannot be considered a good person.

This Ruyi Tower has devoted all his efforts to collect the peerless treasures that he has collected from all over the world over the years. How could an ordinary person be allowed to guard the building and sweep the floor in such an important place?

The rickety old man in front of me, even if he is not a peerless master, is certainly not a simple person!

Most of them have extraordinary origins!

With a conclusion in his heart, Lin Jiangnian gradually became more enlightened. After thinking briefly, he slowly approached the old man and said, "Senior?"

The old man who was sweeping the floor seemed to have some realization. When he turned around and glanced at Lin Jiangnian, he seemed slightly startled: "Is it you?"

"it's me!"

Lin Jiangnian nodded with a smile on his face: "Senior, we meet again!"

The old man shook his head gently: "I can't be called a senior..."

After saying that, he turned around to continue sweeping his floor.

"senior!"

Lin Jiangnian called out to him.

The old man paused: "Is there anything else?"

Lin Jiangnian nodded slightly, looked at the old man in front of him up and down, and said, "I want to have a good chat with senior. I wonder if senior can... give me a favor?"

The old man sighed: "What's there to talk about as a rotten old man like me?"

Lin Jiangnian said: "Since we can meet here, it means we are destined!"

"Furthermore, senior must have been here for a long time. I have some questions that I would like to ask senior to answer... I wonder, senior, if you are willing?"

The old man raised his head and glanced at Lin Jiangnian. After a moment of silence, he nodded again: "Since you, a young man, are willing to talk to me, this old man, then that's it..."

"It's rare that no one has talked to an old man like me for a long time."

As he spoke, the old man swept away the last bit of dust on the ground, put down the broom, and walked behind the bookshelf.

Behind the bookshelf over there, near the window, was an old, dark table. On the table were a half-opened book, a lamp, and a half-flask of wine.

The old man walked slowly to the table and sat down, "Sit down."

Lin Jiangnian was not polite, walked up and sat down opposite the old man, and looked up at him.

The old man reached out and hammered his waist, sighing: "I'm old, I can't do it anymore!"

He looked like a dying old man at this time, old and frail, with no sign of a reclusive master at all.

Camouflaged?

But...this disguise is a bit too similar?

Lin Jiangnian remained calm and asked tentatively: "Senior, is your Geng your age this year?"

The old man sighed: "I can't remember clearly, I must have been in my sixties."

More than sixty?

"Senior, you are getting stronger and stronger, but you can't even tell!"

Lin Jiangnian laughed and asked, "How long have seniors been staying in this Ruyi Building?"

"About twenty years old."

Twenty years?

Lin Jiangnian was shocked.

Can you stay in this Ruyi Building for more than 20 years?

Doesn't it mean that the old man in front of me has lived from middle age to old age?

"Senior, you haven't been out for more than 20 years?"

"No."

"Senior, why don't you go out?"

"Why go out?"

"..."

The old man's cloudy eyes were very calm, and he just sighed: "I'm such a bad old man, I don't know where I can go if I leave here. It's better to stay here and be clean!"

The more they talked, the more Lin Jiangnian felt that this old man was not simple. He glanced at the half-opened books on the table and could vaguely see some of the contents...

But what surprised Lin Jiangnian was that the book was not a martial arts secret book, nor a political strategy book, but... a philosophical thought on self-cultivation?

"Senior has stayed in this Ruyi Building for more than 20 years, so he must be very familiar with it, right?"

Lin Jiangnian came to his senses and spoke again.

The old man thought for a while and nodded slightly: "It seems familiar... I wonder what you want to ask?"

"I have nothing to do recently, and I am slightly interested in martial arts and poisons, so I wanted to ask my senior..."

Lin Jiangnian looked at him and asked tentatively: "Senior, do you know what are the most powerful martial arts and poisons in the world?"

Martial arts is just a cover. Lin Jiangnian's real purpose is to see if he can get any clues about the poison from the old man in front of him.

The old man was slightly startled, glanced at Lin Jiangnian, and shook his head slightly: "Who is the most powerful in martial arts in the world? There has been no distinction between high and low in martial arts since ancient times, only people are high and low... If you want to learn martial arts, this is your wish. There are all kinds of martial arts in the building, it depends on what you like... As for the poison you mentioned..."

The old man sighed softly and pointed to the book on the bookshelf next to Lin Jiangnian: "You can look for it!"

Lin Jiangnian turned around and pulled out a book from the nearby bookshelf, a book about poisons in the world.

Lin Jiangnian saw this book yesterday. After scanning the contents of the book for a few times, he asked calmly: "This book says that there was a poisonous poison in the Miao territory that was subjugated in the past. Is this poison considered to be the best in the world?" "

"Probably..."

The old man nodded slightly.

"Senior, do you know this poison?"

"It doesn't count as understanding."

"If I want to learn poison poison, can senior give me some advice?"

The old man looked at Lin Jiangnian and shook his head gently: "You can't teach him."

"Why."

"The most difficult thing about poisoning is not poisoning, but cultivating it... Whether or not you can cultivate the poison is the most critical step in poisoning the poison!"

"The art of cultivating poison has almost become extinct, and it is not easy to learn. Moreover, this poison is too overbearing and harmful to nature..."

Having said this, the old man seemed to have thought of something and sighed softly: "Anyone who raises Gu will most likely suffer backlash."

"Backlash?"

Lin Jiangnian's eyes narrowed: "How do you say this?"

The old man narrowed his eyes, as if thinking about something, and then slowly said after a while: "In the land of Miao, there used to be a cult of cultivating voodoos. It is said that voodoos are extremely difficult to cultivate and are too rare. Those who raise voodoos need to use their own blood. Raise it until it has some resonance with the Gu insect to be successful..."

"Therefore, once the voodoo is damaged, the person who raises the voodoo will definitely be hit hard by the backlash. Of course, in addition to this, there is also a more mysterious love voodoo..."

"Love Gu?"

Hearing the name, Lin Jiangnian asked: "What kind of poison is this?"

"This poison is too mysterious, and there is very little information circulating. I only know that it is the treasure of the Miao Gu Cult, but it has been lost for nearly a hundred years. This poison is extremely difficult to refine and cultivate. As for what it is used for... …”

The old man sighed softly: "There are rumors in the world that people who have been poisoned by love will gradually develop feelings for the person who caused the poison. In addition, it is said that once the poison is poisoned, the relationship between the person who was poisoned and the person who was poisoned will be different. The fates are bound together. If something happens to one of them, the other will not be able to survive... so it is called love Gu."

At this point, the old man shook his head again: "However, the Love Gu has been lost for nearly a hundred years. There is no way to verify whether it is true or not. It is just a rumor..."

"..."

Lin Jiangnian was silent.

I couldn't get a solution to the poison from the old man in front of me, but I did have a general understanding of the poison.

The more you understand, the more frightened you become!

The poison thing is indeed too terrifying and overbearing, and it damages the moral character!

You said that such a good girl has nothing to do to play poison?

Young Lin Jiang sighed and looked up at the old man in front of him. From the exchange just now, he became more and more convinced that the old man in front of him was not simple.

Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian's heart moved: "By the way, I haven't asked the seniors for their names yet..."

Just when Lin Jiangnian was about to find out the origin of this senior's name and turn around to check it out, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps behind him.

"Da da……"

In the quiet attic room, gentle steps stepped on the wooden boards of the attic, making a slight sound.

very light.

Like a woman's steps.

Lin Jiangnian subconsciously turned around and saw a familiar figure.

Zhiyuan, wearing a purple shirt and long skirt, slowly appeared in the attic.

"How did you come?"

Lin Jiangnian frowned and felt wary.

"Your Highness."

Zhiyuan approached slowly, looked at Lin Jiangnian with her cold beautiful eyes, and spoke softly.

Then he raised his eyes and looked at the old man opposite Lin Jiangnian.

Immediately, she lowered her eyes and said in a slightly respectful tone: "Master."
