Chapter 33 Nine Dragon Bone-Dissolving Water

The next day, around ten o'clock in the morning.

After drinking a little last night and riding his bike for more than an hour, Jiang Yao fell asleep as soon as he got home.

He got up a little late this morning. Not long after breakfast, he moved a chair to sit at the door, flipping through the remaining Lu Ban book that he got from Carpenter Xu last night.

"What do the terms Heaven's Pardon Day and Heaven's Doctor Day mean?"

"When practicing the above spells, you must not be seen by others. If they see you, the spells will not work."

"When helping others to get rid of disasters and solve problems, you must not argue with them over money, otherwise the magic will fail."

"Even if there are no so-called five disadvantages and three shortcomings, there are still so many taboos when learning the spells recorded in Lu Ban's book?"

……

The contents of the book were difficult to understand and Jiang Yao felt a headache after just flipping through a few pages.

He had good Chinese grades when he was in elementary school, but became a poor student after entering junior high school.

In terms of comprehension ability, he was only average. The things recorded in the book seemed to be quite popular, but when he connected the words together one by one, he just couldn't figure out what they meant.

"That's not right. Carpenter Xu clearly said that he learned all his skills from books."

"I at least attended junior high school, but he probably didn't even graduate from elementary school."

"He can understand what's in the book and actually learn something from it, so why can't I?"

Shaking his head with an unconvinced look, Jiang Yao muttered.

Opening the torn books in his hands, he racked his brains and began to ponder word by word the contents in the books that he could not understand.

At some point, a limping figure came from a distance and walked to his side when Jiang Yao was not paying attention.

With a swish, the man stretched out his hand and snatched the torn book from Jiang Yao's hand.

"Who?" Jiang Yao, whose mind was entirely focused on the book, exclaimed and jumped up from his chair.

After seeing the man in front of him clearly, he shrank his head from his angry expression and immediately put on a smiling face: "Brother Xu, why are you here?"

"Sit down, sit down. I'll go get you some tea!"

After a few drinks, Carpenter Xu had become very familiar with him.

What was Jiang Yao's name and where did he live? Carpenter Xu had already learned all this when he was at the wine table a few days ago.

Perhaps, it was because of the information that he was able to ask people all the way here.

"This book is very weird. You really can't read or learn too much from it."

"Boy, you really are not afraid of death!"

"If I hadn't drunk a few of your drinks and found you pleasing to the eye, I wouldn't bother to care whether you live or die."

Carefree, Carpenter Xu sat down on the chair where Jiang Yao had sat before. He stared at Jiang Yao who was pouring tea for him, sulked his face, and snorted.

"Brother Xu, didn't you ask me to take this book and read it?"

"I'm not going to learn anything from it, I'm just going to take a look at it, so this shouldn't be a big problem, right?"

Holding a glass of cold boiled water and handing it to Carpenter Xu, Jiang Yao also moved a chair and sat down opposite Carpenter Xu.

"I was drunk last night, otherwise, would I have shown you this book?"

"You just watch and don't learn from it. Do you believe this?"

"I was tired of this kind of trick when I was young. Every time I went to Widow Wang's house in the middle of the night, I said the same thing, but the result was..."

Giving Jiang Yao a disdainful look, Carpenter Xu sneered a few times.

In order to prevent Jiang Yao from making any further moves, he neatly stuffed the book he had snatched from his hand into his crotch.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Yao's mouth twitched several times.

He stared at Carpenter Xu in front of him and said, "A real man should stick to his words." "You promised to lend me the book, but you suddenly came to take it back. Brother Xu, this is not a decent thing to do!"

"During this period, I often come to visit you and treat you to good food and drink."

"Because of my kindness, you insist on taking the book away. Fine, I accept it, but you can teach me a little bit of that little magic that doesn't have any hidden dangers, right?"

Hearing Jiang Yao's words, Carpenter Xu was slightly stunned and fell silent.

From time to time, he would bring good wine and delicious food and have a drink with him. He could actually guess Jiang Yao's real intention in doing so.

After all, he was a poor man with no children, and the only thing he could show off was this little skill.

But he had lived alone for so many years, and someone offered him food and drinks, tolerated his strange temper, and chatted with him over a drink. He didn't care what other people were up to. He was too lazy to expose these things.

"Look at you, kid. You don't seem willing to give up unless you get some benefits from me!"

"My book is very damaged, and there are only a few spells left that were fully recorded in it."

"To be honest, even if you have the book in your hands, you won't learn anything from it!"

"After all, if you have never worshipped our ancestors and have never entered our Lu Ban School, there are many things that you cannot learn even if you want to."

"As for simpler spells without any hidden dangers, there are indeed a few. Are you sure you really want to learn them?"

……

After a moment's silence, Carpenter Xu finally spoke again.

He would go to Carpenter Xu's place from time to time. During this period of time, Jiang Yao had spent at least one or two hundred yuan on that.

Carpenter Xu was willing to give in at this moment, perhaps, because of this little favor.

"I will definitely learn!" After hearing what Carpenter Xu said, Jiang Yao quickly nodded and responded.

"How about this, I will teach you a little magic spell - Nine Dragons Bone-Transforming Water."

"This spell has little hidden dangers. You can learn it even without joining our Lu Ban School. It is widely spread among the people."

"For an ordinary person like you, using this technique will only make you a little tired at most. What do you think?"

Tilting his head and thinking for a moment, Carpenter Xu smiled and asked Jiang Yao.

"Nine Dragons Bone-Dissolving Water? That name sounds impressive."

"What is the effect of this technique? Brother Xu, can you tell me about it?" Jiang Yao felt his eyes light up, and he quickly opened his mouth and asked.

"No need to get started, no need to borrow magic from the ancestors, ordinary people can perform small spells, how powerful do you think it can be?"

"This Nine Dragon Bone-Dissolving Water is only useful when foreign objects like fish bones are stuck in the throat."

"A sip of water can dissolve the foreign matter in your throat."

……

Pursing his lips, Carpenter Xu laughed and explained.

"Is this all the effect? ​​I feel like this spell is really useless after learning it."

"When Brother Xu was performing a ritual for me that day, I felt as if there was a flash of lightning. I think that kind of magic is more to my liking."

"I don't know..." Jiang Yao said tentatively, feeling a little disappointed.

However, before he could finish his words, Carpenter Xu interrupted him: "Want to learn the Five Thunder Oil Pool Fire Curse? You have quite an appetite."

"If you really want to learn this, then okay, I will take you under our Lu Ban's tutelage."

"But after you enter, your entire family will be wiped out and you will live a miserable life. Don't blame me for not warning you!"
