Chapter 892
2014-08-16
Eating is always the eternal theme of people!Whether you are a hermit expert who breathes the wind and dew and absorbs the essence of the day and night, or a beautiful woman who is out of the dust and does not catch fireworks... As long as you are still human, you will naturally always have to eat. .
Although Sword God is called a god by the world, it is only an honorific title, and in the final analysis, it is still a person. So in the face of Tang En's invitation, Sword God Woodin did not hesitate, calmly nodded, and said hello directly.
As a result, the kitchen of the secret agency rose up the smoke...
...
For a moment, it was not too far from the hall, with a brown wooden table, and the two were facing each other. Sit, the atmosphere is a little dull. The dishes in front of him were steaming hot, three dishes and one soup, very simple, home-cooked dishes that often appeared on the table of ordinary citizens, and two bowls of white rice, that's all.
Slightly adjusted his sitting posture, Tang En's expression was extremely calm, and there were a few faintly discernable polite smiles on the corners of his mouth, showing the master's demeanor. But in my heart, it is inevitable to be a little nervous...
To be honest, Tang En really never thought that one day he would eat at the same table with Sword God. Although it was true that he took the initiative to invite before, but it was just a polite speech in Philip's face. Who would have thought that the other party would agree to nodded...
For a while, Tang En thought about it. This is so Sword God, is it too simple for me to serve meals? The desktop also seems a little greasy. Well, do I need to find two chicks to come over to cheer up the fun...
Of course, Tang En only didn't consider whether Sword God's move was a sign of goodwill in the miscellaneous thoughts. Originally, not to mention the bad news from Philip, but to say that he had beaten someone up just now, and this is not something that can be bought with a meal...
Thinking of this , and then looking at Woodin's fixed gaze, Tang En unconsciously adjusted his sitting position again, the dagger in his sleeve trembled slightly, ensuring that he would hit the Condition instantly.
Immediately, big eyes staring at small eyes, the atmosphere became more and more stiff and stiff... After a while, when Tang En's temples were slightly wet, Woodin looked at the steaming rice wipes, slightly frowned: " Don't eat?"
"Eh?" For a moment, Tang En came back to his senses, squeezed out a smile, and hurriedly waved his hand to invite, "Why... please, you always please! Fang Family cooking, laugh. Well, it may be a little heavier than southern cuisine, so please don't dislike it."
"It's okay." Shaking his head casually, Woodin picked up the knife and fork and buried his head. eat.
With his arms in the air, he was stunned. Tang En suddenly remembered that in the customs and etiquette of the Other World, it was said that when visiting someone else's house, if the host does not invite the guest, the guest cannot use a knife and fork first. Rules...Fuck! Just because of this, you stare at me for a long time? With great pressure, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and Tang En felt extremely absurd for a while.
Fortunately, with the crunchy sound of the knife and fork constantly touching the dishes, the rigid atmosphere in the side hall gradually eased. The taste of the northern cuisine is indeed heavier, and some things similar to the modern prickly ash are basically necessary seasonings in the north. It didn't take long for the sweat to appear on Woodin's forehead under his grey hair. Seeing this, Tang En handed the napkin, and Woodin took it without hesitation. The tension between the two was almost gone for a moment...
He put down his knife and fork, "Ah...I haven't tasted the northern dishes for many years. Well, I'm a little unaccustomed to eating it now." Woodin said casually, wiping the sweat on the side of his nose with a napkin.
"Sorry, I was negligent." Tang En apologized and asked, "Would you like to drink some wine?"
"Wine?" Woodin Hearing that, the eyes suddenly lit up, like a child who got a long-favored toy. But at this moment, "cough cough..." Outside the hall, Haita, who was standing beside the door, suddenly raised her fists to close her mouth and coughed twice, as if she was dissatisfied.
Woodin's shoulders slumped, and he waved his hands in dismay: "Forget it, let's have some tea."
"Okay." The member of the secret agency waved his hand, then glanced at Haita, and then turned around. Not allowed to drink? It's because of the body...
The food on the table was removed, and soon two fragrant light teas were brought up again. Different from the food, the tea is of Top Grade, which Allen brings to Tang En's every time he comes over.
During this period, the two also talked a few words, but most of them were scenes. Woodin thanked Tang En's for the hospitality, Tang En said it was right, and then chatted with Philip and so on... until,
He took a sip of the tea, Woodin's white eyebrow moved slightly, closed his eyes for a while, nodded, put down the teacup gently, a light sound of "knock". Tang En straightened his back slightly, knowing that the show was coming.
Unexpectedly, Woodin bowed his head and said solemnly: "The little apprentice is reckless and has no way to teach. Thank you for your mercy just now."
Tang En did hold back just now, Otherwise it's not Winslyn's hand bone, but the throat bone. Of course, Tang En was helpless after seeing the Woodin two. Of course, Woodin is also aware of this.
However, in this world, there are many experts who treat all beings like ants and don't like reasoning. Tang En didn't expect this to impress Woodin's kindness. He didn't want Woodin to be regarded as Sword God. Not only did he not hold Tang En accountable for being a scoundrel, but he thanked him in advance, which surprised him greatly...
"Huh?" For a moment, Tang En came back to his senses, raised his head and laughed, "This...it's nothing. I have always loved peace and convinces people with virtue, hehe..."
p>Woodin also laughed lightly, and opened up the topic, without commenting on Tang En's words that put gold on his face, he said peacefully: "I already have all the rumors about your Excellency in the capital city of Titus. I heard that, I was a little curious at the time. Now I see it with my own eyes, but it adds to my doubts..."
Tang En did not respond immediately, but waved his hand and said: "You are too polite, I really can't bear the plain-speaking title of your Excellency. I call Philip and Philip a friend, and since you are Philip's grandfather, you can call me Tang, Tang En, Little Tang, whatever..."
This is indeed Tang En's sincere proposal. Because at least from the current point of view, Sword God Woodin did not show any hatred for him after killing him, but was quite peaceful and polite, as if he was treating him as a person of the same level. And Tang En's temper is like this, as the old saying goes, that is, you respect me one foot, and I respect you ten feet! You pressed me an inch... well, then don't blame me for calling you old fart!
"With your current strength, you are worthy of my honor. But since you don't want to..." Woodin didn't bother about it, nodded: "Then call it Little Tang, listen. Come and be kind."
Little Tang, Little Tang... Well, it's better to call your Excellency nice. And this is Your Excellency that Sword God has personally admitted, how much face it is to say it out...
I touched my nose, tsukkomi belongs to tsukkomi. But since this name was proposed by Tang En himself, now I have to keep my head down: "Well, if you have any doubts, just ask, I..." After a while, he rolled his eyes, "I will say whatever I can say. .”
Woodin laughed, but didn’t have any problem with Tang En’s reserved attitude, and asked: “Your ****…is Battle Qi?”
I choked ...Tang En was shocked when he heard the words, and he almost jumped up on the spot. Of course it wasn't Battle Qi that he fucked, but Blood Qi. But Blood Qi is related to the Assassin System, which is his biggest secret. Was this all seen by Woodin?
Despite the ten thousand zhang turbulence in his heart, Tang En still looked calm on the surface, and then turned into a puzzled look of unfathomable mystery... After calming down, Tang En still didn't believe Woodin could watch it He didn't reveal his secret, so he asked blankly: "Of course, what's wrong?"
After getting the answer, Woodin didn't have a special expression and shook his head slightly: "It's nothing... It's just that I can't see your cultivation realm. ."
Under his heart, Tang En knew what the problem was. Other World Battle Qi's special surname is domineering and difficult to hide. So in the eyes of Advanced Martial Artist, the realm of Low Rank Martial Artist's strength is almost obvious at a glance. But Tang En is different, he is Blood Qi, so even if Woodin has Martial Saint's realm, he can never see his strength level.
"Oh, maybe it's because of Assassin's profession, I have a little bit of experience with hidden strength." With a wave of his hand, Tang En casually brought up the question, and immediately changed his mind and immediately changed the subject, "By the way, You are not the first person to have doubts about my realm... Well, I have been to Beihuang, and in the imperial city Book Collection Pavilion, I met a Beihuang old man named Bamutu. He also had this doubt, Because of this, he almost mistook me for your old **, hehe..."
Woodin raised his white eyebrow: "Bamutu? Have you met him?"
" Yes, he said that you are always good at condensing and hiding Battle Qi." Tang En secretly relaxed, only to feel that he was under the vicious tongue of Old Butler, and his ability to change the subject was already a Major Perfection. But...
Woodin nodded...and looked at Tang En's with a complicated look: "It seems that you really know the existence of Dao Body."
"En" Tang En blinked, his expression still accustomed to the calmness of the surname, but he was very unfathomable mystery, node? What it is? Does it have anything to do with the topic we're talking about... Forget it, since he's already found a reason for me, that's great...
Woodin really did find a reason for Tang En. You must know that the reason why he doesn't care about not being able to see Tang En's realm accurately is because he already has a preconceived answer in his heart - this Tang En, like himself, knows that the nodes in Dao Body can store hidden Battles. Qi, so it is normal to not see the realm of strength.
And later Tang En's unsurprising expression, and the words that he and Woodin are equally good at hiding Battle Qi, undoubtedly made Woodin even more convinced of this judgment!
But in fact, Tang En was really just pretending and changing the subject...
...
Thinking he had confirmed something, Woodin picked up The teacup took a sip of tea, and when it was put down, all the complicated meanings in his eyes were all indifferent. Immediately, raise hand took out a few pieces of tissue paper from his sleeve, put it on the table, and pushed it over.
He raised his head and asked calmly, "This is what you researched?"
Tang En subconsciously glanced down, his eyes suddenly condensed, the ghosts on the paper were like picture talisman The lines of disordered and in a mess are all too familiar to him, because this is exactly the Battle Qi circulation channel he drew by himself, but somehow it got into Sword God's hands...
But on second thought, Tang En again is relieved. With Sword God's energy, as long as he notices the North, finding the source of the Martial Artist's madness is naturally an easy task.
"Oh, this ah..." At this point, the words suddenly stopped. The pause was brief, it didn't even take a second, and there was no sense of disobedience. Because Tang En is reaching out to take the teacup aside and bring it to his mouth.
This is of course not due to sudden thirst. For some reason, just moments ago, Tang En's heart rang slightly, and he felt the slightest killing intent... There were only two people in the side hall, so The source of this killing intent, naturally, can only be Woodin who looks calm!
What I want to say is that this killing intent is very light, very light, and almost invisible. It seems that it is just a slight movement of mind. If there is another person sitting here, even if the strength is equal to Woodin, it is absolutely impossible to detect. But Tang En is different. Under the training of Assassin System and Old Butler, as long as the killing intent is aimed at him, no matter how slight, it can be keenly sensed. even more how Tang En at this time was already on extreme vigilance Condition...
But...with his lips touching the edge of the teacup, Tang En chuckled at Woodin and nodded. Why does Woodin suddenly have a killing intent on himself? There is a problem with the question - is this what you researched?
Yes, no... what's the difference?
The Top Grade tea brewed and swirled in Tang En's mouth, lost its original fragrance and taste, and became extremely bitter. His mind changed...Tang En naturally put down the teacup and called the head: "No."
Sword God is not an ordinary person. When he has the intention to kill, any tricky answer is actually just a change. Xiang's admission is just a cocoon. Between takes part or not, the risk of not being is naturally smaller.
Of course, only relatively small. In fact, this is still an uncompromising sentence of life and death!
When the words were over, Tang En calmly met Woodin's gaze, and left his left hand under the table without a trace, the dagger in his sleeve trembled slightly, ready to stand by.
The atmosphere seemed to freeze suddenly in this brief moment, suffocating and cold. Woodin squinted his turbid old eyes, not letting go of any slight expression on Tang En's face. After a few breaths, he said noncommittally: "Oh?"
Tang En pretended not to see, each minding their own business said : "This was given to me by a painter friend before he died."
"Painter?" Woodin couldn't help astonished when he heard the words, knowing that he had already inquired about this internal channel when he came here. , If Tang En answered the news circulating on the market, that is, from the Shanhaicheng auction house, then Woodin would definitely not believe it. Because his old friend spent more than a hundred years rummaging through all the ancient and modern classics in order to study this thing. If there really is such a Mantra cheat, he can't possibly know...
"Yeah, a down-and-out painter." Not aware of any fluctuations in killing intent, Tang En couldn't help but set his mind, and immediately put Ghost Face's story is eloquently told...
There is nothing to hide, Tang En impossible takes it to himself, he still understands the truth of an innocent man treasuring a jade ring becomes a crime, So it can only be pushed to Ghost Face. And this is not all lies. The Battle Qi loop was first discovered by Ghost Face, and Tang En just took this opportunity to complete the follow-up work. Furthermore, Ghost Face is dead, and the dead can't testify, so Tang En is very at ease...
After a while, as Tang En roughly retells the contents of Ghost Face's diary . "so that's how it is..." Woodin took the lead in withdrawing his eyes, regretful, regretful, glad... all kinds of complex emotions flashed from his face, nodded sighed: "Yes, Little Tang, you are still young, even if Heaven is really Blessed Genius, it is also impossible to come into contact with this field...it's my heart."
It's not that Woodin has no scheming to believe Tang En's words so easily. But this can't be concealed at all. The identity of Black Rock City, Ghost Face, journal, etc., the details of these locations can be easily verified, and there is no possibility of lying.
However, Tang En twitched his lips without a trace when he heard the words, ah, despise me, will Young Master have a full set of Battle Qi circulation channels will tell you...
Woodin naturally does not Knowing what Tang En was thinking, his expression was a little emotional: "It's a pity... you must also know the significance of these internal circulation channels for Battle Qi Martial Dao. If someone can really be fully Proficient in the rules, they will definitely be able to understand the Martial Dao in this world. It will have a transformative impact. At that time, Martial Saint realm will not be Martial Dao Peak, and Magician will no longer be able to suppress Martial Artists of the same level..."
After a while, he shook his head slightly, "But That's fine, if you do start researching this Battle Qi loop, I can only choose to kill you right now."
Fuck! Sure enough... Tang En heard the words heart shivered with cold, and his back was instantly soaked with cold sweat, throbbing uncontrollably. Of course, on the surface, he still looked shocked and surprised: "Uh...why?"
Woodin is frank: "Because it's too dangerous! You should know that although this internal circulation channel has extremely promising prospects, For now, it's just a futile dream. This is not a path that can be figured out in a generation or a few generations. You're just taking out a few semifinished product now, and in that short period of time, you can drive countless Martial Artists crazy. But who can know that they will not lose their minds like the down-and-out painter, and eventually die for no reason? "
This is the problem. Woodin in the eyes with Titus in mind, and the Battle Qi circulation channel in Tang En's hands is both a thing of change and a source of chaos.
The key to this is that this channel is incomplete, just an unknown and dangerous semifinished product. And Tang En also impossible to tell the news of his complete channel of Proficient, in fact, those Martial Artists outside now learn There is indeed a problem with the passage. As long as Tang En is willing, countless lunatics can be created in the world in an instant...
This is an irreconcilable problem, and it is bound to face certain choices.
p>
"Understood. Tang En nodded, narrowed his long eyes, and looked at Woodin calmly, "Your old man is..."
"Any martial skill Mantra in my door, you can choose three books at will . But... you have to hand in all the Battle Qi channels in the body in make a move. "Woodin's tone is equally calm, calm and decisive, unswerving!
Tang En heard the words silently, half a sound, and raised his head: "What if I don't pay?" ”
