Chapter 75 The Ancient Town

Chapter 74

"What is this place?" Luo Qi followed Mahjong and Du Zhengyi through the main room, bypassed the screen, and came to another courtyard.There is not much difference between this place and the front yard, except that the house is taller and bigger, and the yard is tidier. Plantains are planted in front of the windows, and a few stalks of green bamboo are planted in the corners of the house.It can be seen that this is an authentic Jiangnan folk house, and it has been around for some years. "Why did you prepare such a place?"

"This is an ancient town, and the original residents have all moved to the city across the river to live in high-rise buildings with elevators." Mahjong said, "However, this place was the location of a mage's academy a long time ago."

"The Institute of Mind Masters?" Roach said, they had already entered the main room, and Roach reached out and picked the jade inlaid on the screen.

"Hey," Mahjong yelled, "Why are you so short? Don't touch that, Du Zhengyi, don't you care about him?"

Luo Qi glanced at Du Zhengyi, but Du Zhengyi didn't respond. This reaction itself was cold and distant.

He saw Mahjong also glanced between Du Zhengyi and himself, and probably had some guesses, but he didn't say anything, and stretched out his hand to invite them to sit by the window.There was an iron kettle on the tea table, and there was water in the kettle. He took out the tea leaves, and then reached for the kettle.Just when he stretched out his hand, the water in the pot was already boiling. He picked up the kettle full of boiling water, casually, and got used to it.Luo Qi saw it, and once again thought that Du Zhengyi used his power too rarely in this way. Although his power was completely crushing when fighting mages, mahjong was obviously not his opponent at all, but in life Li Du Zhengyi always used human methods a lot like a junior mage, almost like Roach himself.

"Come on, Roach, have some tea." Mahjong said, "Mingqian tea."

"It's only March," Roach said.

"Ah," he didn't care if Mahjong was exposed, "Last year's Mingqian tea."

"Last year's tea is this year's Mingqian tea, right?" Luo Qi looked at him.

Mahjong also laughed out loud, kept pouring the tea fragrance in his hand, put the teacup in front of Luo Qi and Du Zhengyi, poured the tea and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, why have you become so mean?" What? It looks more and more like Du Zhengyi. Did Du Zheng lead you into trouble?"

Luo Qi didn't speak. He leaned in his chair and looked at the plantains outside the window. He rarely went to the south, but he didn't know that the sunlight here could make the plantain leaves so green.A three-colored kitten slipped by the window, and he followed it aimlessly. After getting familiar with its feeling, he secretly followed it and found nine cats within a range of several hundred meters.

He knew that Mahjong was watching him all the time, but he couldn't help it even if he wanted to. His thoughts were chasing the movement of the cat in boredom, and he heard Mahjong say to Du Zhengyi, "To be honest, I didn't expect him To be able to stabilize so quickly."

As soon as Du Zheng picked up the tea, he sniffed it first, "According to your instructions, he found an anchor point for himself."

"Smart." Mahjong said, "It seems that Roach is a natural mind mage. Although he looks out of place, he is actually quite talented."

"However, he used me as the anchor of his consciousness." Du Zhengyi said flatly.

Roach regained some attention during his exploration of cat life, secretly observing Mahjong's reaction.

Mahjong's expression obviously paused, and he glanced at himself, but it seemed that he was tabooing Du Zhengyi more. "Oh," he just said such a word, but the sound was protracted, which seemed to be very rich in meaning.Luo Qi stared at his expression, Mahjong's eyeballs obviously rolled behind the lens, and there seemed to be a lot of thinking.Roach waited patiently for the result of his thinking. Half a minute later, he said "Oh" again in mahjong. He and Du Zheng looked at each other and exchanged meanings that Roach couldn't understand.

Roach was furious for a while, wishing he could immediately smash the heads of the two of them off.When he is fully able to do it, it is really a kind of practice to endure it.But Roach also knew that he couldn't do it, so he was only angry.

"Oh." Mahjong said again, this time full of interest, Roach turned his head to look at him angrily, and unexpectedly met Mahjong's probing eyes.He froze for a moment, smiled slyly, and said, "The smell of this storm is so strong, I can even smell the fresh smell of ozone when the lightning strikes."

"Don't provoke him." Du Zhengyi immediately warned.

"Yes, yes, don't mess with your brats." Mahjong couldn't help but sneered, "Look at you, what's the difference between you and bear parents bringing their brats to visit relatives?"

"Okay, let's get down to business now." Mahjong said with a smile, "I already know what's in the test tube solution you gave me the day before yesterday."

"That's what Li Xu used, and it seems that Luo Qi was once soaked in it."

"Is it the solution for making Superman?" Roach asked with the last sliver of fantasy, imagining that his ability was a mutation given to him by the laboratory, and had nothing to do with him. His essence was still the same Roach from the day before yesterday.

Mahjong glanced at him wonderingly, "Can your mind be more stable? Do you want to spin silk, or do you want to gain muscle?"

Roach ignored him and retreated into the chair boredly.

"First declare that this kind of thing is a product of human beings." Mahjong said sarcastically.

Du Zhengyi understood what he meant, "As a lotus burner, Li Xu has always opposed mages' use of human technology. Unexpectedly, he has no psychological barriers when he uses it himself."

"Two-faced people." Mahjong said.

"Erpilian." Roach answered.

Du Zhengyi finally couldn't help showing a slight smile, but the smile was fleeting.Mahjong suddenly became curious, and asked Du Zhengyi, "In order to prevent Roche from interfering, are you driving it now..."

Du Zheng glared at him, and swallowed the words behind him.Luo Qi looked back and forth between the two, desperately hoping to complete the second half of Du Zhengyi's sentence, so annoyed that he wanted to scratch his chair.

Playing mahjong haha, he continued, "Let's not talk about anything else. We only talk about academic issues today. Anyway, I can only talk about academic issues. Back to the topic, the solution used by Li Xu has an important role in human science. Here, the scientific name is called fluorocarbon solution.”

Roach was taken aback, "I seem to know what this is."

"You know?" Mahjong said in surprise, "Is Li Xu's consciousness still in your mind? Then can you dig out more of his consciousness?"

"Those consciousnesses are very faint now," Roach said. "He mentioned this name at the time, and I always thought it was very familiar. Now I finally remember what it is."
