Taming the Demon: A Guide to Raising a Great Sage

Chapter 13 013, your master is not serious
Shen Lang said sincerely:

"It's a blessing for me to be able to work for adults, and I shouldn't expect anything.

"It's just that the adults know that I have forgotten all my past. I don't know where my home is, who I am, and where I should go. I am very embarrassed about how to make a living after connecting.

"So... I take the liberty, I hope that the adults can lend a helping hand and take care of me for a little while."

Mu Qingxue didn't hesitate, and nodded slightly:

"This is not difficult. Since you are gifted with swiftness, you can temporarily work in the public office as a temporary yamen servant, and use your swiftness to catch small thieves. When I return to Changsheng County, I will recommend you to the county master." .Well, there will be no salary when you first take office, and I will lend you some money to help you settle down first."

After a pause, he warned again:

"After I go back, I will go to the Ministry of Letters and Punishments to inquire about your identity. Again, if you are really a good family member, you will be fine, and you can become a regular police officer in the future. But if you are involved in a serious case, I will never I forgive you lightly."

Shen Lang was full of confidence, clasped his fists and said:

"Don't worry, my lord. Although I have forgotten the past, I am confident that I, Shen Lang, am definitely a decent and good family member with a clean personality."

Mu Qingxue nodded and asked again:
"Have you memorized this secret book?"

Shen Lang didn't hide anything from her:

"Last night, I lit the lamp and read at night, and I have written down everything."

Mu Qingxue's eyes showed surprise:
"External skills, mental methods, sword formulas, diagrams, including notes, experience... have you written down all of them?"

It was a piece of silk one meter long and half a meter wide, densely packed with thousands of words, and there were many pictures.Seeing Shen Lang's refreshed appearance, he must not have stayed up all night.

So it took him only half a night to memorize the entire secret book?

"My lord, I really wrote it down, the words are not bad, and the map is also in my heart."

Mu Qingxue shook her head:
"Tsk, your memory... I'm afraid you are really a scholar, or a first-class prodigy..."

After a pause, he warned again:

"The secret of this exercise is borrowed from the key points, using code words and metaphors, and there are many ambiguities.

"Especially at the seventh rank and above, the mental method that involves invigorating the viscera and transporting internal energy must not be practiced hastily, otherwise it is very likely to go into a madness, and the meridian will be broken, the whole body will be paralyzed, and the internal organs will be severely injured, and one will die.

"Even if it's just the ninth-rank and eighth-rank training methods, there are still some ambiguities. If you don't know the method and practice rashly, there is also a hidden danger of damage to the muscles and bones, and physical disabilities.

"However, the ninth and eighth grades are only external skills after all, and do not involve mental methods. I can try to decipher them. It's just that I'm busy right now and don't have the time. When I return to Changsheng County, I'll help you decipher it again.

"As for the inner strength and mental methods such as breathing and exhalation, after I ask someone to interpret this secret book clearly, and then pass it on to you, it will be regarded as a reward for your dedication to this secret book."

Of course, Shen Lang would not reveal that he had understood the "Ten Steps, One Kill" thoroughly, and thanked him with cupped fists:

"Thank you sir."

Having said this, Mu Qingxue frowned again and asked:
"I personally led a team to search this yard last night. I copied out a lot of cult texts, brochures, and a small statue of an evil god. Most of the things that could be copied were taken away by my team. You Where did you find this secret book?"

Shen Lang answered truthfully:

"It's tucked inside the cover of a book."

"Which book?"

"Uh... this is..."

"How can you be so coy, a man?"

"Well then, sir, don't blame me, that book is a..."

After briefly describing the book, Mu Qingxue was stunned for a moment. Although her face was normal, a hint of shame flashed in her eyes.

She remembered that she had seen the book Shen Lang mentioned last night when she personally led the team over to search it.There was even a policeman from Changsheng County holding a book and presenting it in front of her.

But seeing that the book turned out to be that kind of indecent and obscene book, how could Mu Qingxue, a girl in her early twenties, have the nerve to take it and read it carefully in front of a room full of soldiers?

I just asked the arrester to look through it hastily, and made sure that there were no documents related to cults inside, so he asked the arrester to throw it away with a look of disgust.

But he didn't expect that in such an unscrupulous book, there was actually a profound exercise hidden in it that might directly point to the third grade, and Shen Lang picked up a loophole.

But why did Shen Lang find this secret book from the cover of that book?
Look at this silk, as thin as a cicada's wing, and as light as a feather, folded into the size of a book page, only as thick as a sheet of paper.And separated by layers of thick book covers, there will hardly be any strange touch.

So this kid Shen Lang must have read that book carefully last night!

Thinking of the heroic young man lying on the bed, flipping through the book with relish and fondness, not knowing which one he was obsessed with, Mu Qingxue gritted her teeth secretly, gave Shen Lang an annoyed look, and picked up Xiao Zhao The nape of the neck, picked it up and walked out:

"Xiao Zhao, I'll take it away, and I'll ask someone to bring you food later. The Wang Family Manor is quite large, and it has been in operation for many years. I'm afraid I have to dig three feet of the ground and search it for a day or two before I can complete the work. During this period, you should stay here honestly and don’t run around.”

When it was over, without waiting for Shen Lang to respond, he strode out of the courtyard gate.

After she left, Shen Lang, whose five senses were sharpened after his perception was strengthened, could faintly hear her muttering:

"Xiao Zhao, that master of yours is not a serious person. If you follow him, you will learn to be bad. From now on, will you follow me? At worst, I will personally teach him and teach him the foundation of martial arts. Give him more money so that he can Live more comfortably...Xiao Zhao, what do you think of this decision? If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your acquiescence..."

meow~
"Oh, did you talk? That is to say, you agreed? That's great. When I return, I will tell Shen Lang..."

"..."

Shen Lang was speechless.

He thought to himself, isn't it the default that Xiao Zhao doesn't speak?Now that Xiao Zhao has spoken out, and you say that it agrees, it really has two official words, right?

Also, why am I, Shen Lang, not serious?
Don't look at the word "prodigal" in my single name, but I am not a prodigal son, but a pure good boy from a good family, okay?
It's really inhumane to be a head catcher!

Shen Lang pursed his lips and complained a few words, and went straight back to the house.

A while later, a girl brought Shen Lang breakfast.

The girl who delivered the food was the servant girl of the Wang family, but she was just a low-level maid who signed a death contract. She was usually oppressed by the Wang family. If she made a mistake, she might even be thrown into the gu pot alive to feed the gu.

So after the investigation was clear, Mu Qingxue didn't make things difficult for these poor women, and asked them to help with some things first, and then took them back to Changsheng County for resettlement after they finished copying their homes.

The breakfast was very rich, with a big bowl of rice and lean meat porridge, two warm big meat buns, two boiled eggs, a small dish of pickled vegetables, and a big pot of honey water.

In this era of low productivity, even small landlords may not be able to eat white rice and meat all at once. Shen Lang, an outsider who is doing nothing, can follow such a hearty breakfast. Obviously, the Wang family has a lot of money. Home raids are rewarding.

Shen Lang thanked the girl who delivered the food, took the plate back to the house, and had a hearty meal.

After eating and drinking enough, Shen Lang entered the fine brush space, exchanged feelings with Xiaoyu for a while, and then went back outside to take a walk in the yard to digest food.

After walking for a while, he took a run-up, jumped lightly, put his hands on the wall, and easily jumped onto the two-meter-high courtyard wall.

After that, he jumped up to the roof along the courtyard wall, stood on the ridge of the roof and looked around for a while, seeing that there were indeed no people in the area east of the villa. Roof, opened his posture in the yard, and formally practiced the ninth-rank strength training chapter of "ten steps and one kill".
