Daming's Bizarre Story: Painted Skin

After the commotion outside, the secretary whispered something in Jiuru's ear.

Zhao Ran hastily added: "Water city has no city, Daoist girl has no husband, son has no father, sword tree has no branches, mountains have no rocks, and emerald water has no fish."

He sat back to his original place a little depressed.

The secretary shook his head and said: "This is against the regulations, the waterway is full of swords, and it can't be a sentence."

But Jiuru raised his head and said: "I think what he means is that when the water flows in the middle of the sky, even though the three fake characters are used before and after, Dao, Jian, and Liu, they can imply the original meaning of the sentence, and they are still echoed. "

Zhaoran's mood suddenly improved again, and he stretched his neck to look at Jiuru.

The secretary hesitated a little: "But this... still doesn't meet the regulations."

Jiu Ru said: "Then let's try another question."

Two boys lifted a wooden board out, and saw a lot of black and white lines drawn on it, and the onlookers talked a lot: "What is this!"

Jiuru pointed to the entrance: "This is a maze, within a stick of incense, whoever can find the exit first will get the last place in the academy."

Zhao Ran glanced at it and blurted out: "But there is no exit from this maze."

Jiuru turned his head and smiled and asked, "Any other answers?"

The other little boys looked at it for a long time until the incense burnt out, they shook their heads, Jiu Ru pointed at the entrance and said, "This is the exit."

There was an "uproar" from the onlookers, and Zhao Ran couldn't help but sink, but suddenly saw an extra hand in front of him: "Let's go."

Zhaoran raised his head and saw Jiuru was looking at him, he couldn't help being surprised and happy, and quickly grabbed the slender hand.

A boy boldly said: "He didn't give the right answer, why is he the one who got the quota?"

"But he knew at a glance that there is no second entrance to this labyrinth." Jiu Ru smiled, "As I said, I want to recruit the smartest people in the world."

----

As he spoke, he took Zhao Ran's hand through the crowd and walked along the long corridor. Zhao Ran was not used to the high threshold for a moment, fell down with a "plop", Jiu Ru bent down and picked him up, walk inward.

Zhaoran hugged Jiuru's neck, almost fainted from excitement.

"Sir!" the students in the room said loudly.

As soon as Zhao Ran turned around, he saw Shen Fangji, he couldn't help baring his teeth secretly, and hugged Jiuru's neck even tighter.

Shen Fangji took a step forward: "Sir, this is..."

Jiu Ru said: "Your last classmate, his name is...Xianzhao."

Zhao Ran suddenly turned around, Jiu Ru smiled slightly: "It's obvious, how about revealing it clearly?"

"Mr. has the final say." Zhao Ran had no choice but to say.

The people in the school looked at each other, but they all bowed respectfully and said: "Yes."

After they sat down, Zhao Ran had no choice but to leave Jiu Ru's embrace regretfully, and sat behind the desk, because the desk was too high, Jiu Ru made an exception and gave him a chair, then picked up the book and said, "Continue to study. "

Immediately there was a sound of reading loudly in the school, and they read a few sentences along with obvious pretentiousness, but secretly glanced at Jiuru.

The thin scholar in green clothes and plain sash seems to be Jiuru who was flipping through books outside the alley of Jiang's Mansion 20 years later. The wind outside the window gently brushed his clothes, but did not leave any trace on his body.

After reading the book, it was time for question and answer. Among them, Shen Fangji had the most questions, and Jiu Ru seemed to be the most concerned about Shen Fangji's questions. Obviously, he couldn't help but couldn't help but raised his hand and asked a question: " Sir, what is Xi?"

"Hi means to hear but not to hear, that's what the so-called great sound Xi Sheng means." Jiu Ru replied.

Zhaoran said "hmm" twice, and said seriously: "So that's how it is, Dayin is silent, so don't talk too much."

Shen Fangji bowed his body and said: "Dayin is the realm of human cultivation. It is the mystery that can be glimpsed from the beginning of self-awareness. It is not easy to learn in Handan. At the beginning of a person, one has doubts and needs to be asked, and one needs to be answered."

Jiuru nodded and said, "If you have any questions, you should ask them, and if you have any questions, you should answer them. The eight words are very good."

When he said this, the students asked more questions, and even Zhao Ran squeezed in and asked a few. Unfortunately, he has little research on serious knowledge, and the questions he asked were not painful or itchy, and some of them didn't need to be answered. Shen Fangji replied in a few words, and he received more awards from Jiuru.

Zhao Ran couldn't help being furious.

----

Finally after school, Jiu Ru took Zhao Ran's hand and walked towards the dormitory, but just happened to meet Shen Fangji: "Sir, do you want to take your junior to the dormitory?"

"Yes."

"Why don't you let the junior live with me, my room happens to be alone, and it's still empty."

Jiuru smiled and said, "Let's see if there is any room in the dormitory."

As they spoke, they entered the yard of the head of the house. The head of the house obviously recognized him, the one who was a little rude to Shen Fangji.

"Mr. Feng, most of the students you accepted have not yet handed over to Shu Xiu. Although our Bailu Academy has a little subsidy for studying politics, we still have to rely on Shu Xiu to maintain it." They are students, not the widows and orphans in the nursing home."

Zhao Ran wanted to break the bridge of this guy's nose with a punch. If he hadn't taken out a bag of pearls at such a young age, it wouldn't make sense. He really wanted to smash the bag of pearls around his waist on his face.

Shen Fangji on the side bowed his head and said nothing, he obviously knew that this situation would happen, so he purposely ran into Jiuru there, and suggested that Zhaoran should stay in his room.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ran was afraid that Jiu Ru would really let him and Shen Fang live in silence, so he quickly hugged Jiu Ru's thigh: "Sir, I will live with you."

Jiu Ru groaned for a while, Zhao Ran hugged his leg tightly, looked at him pitifully, Jiu Ru nodded: "Alright, then stay with me."

The head of the house said calmly: "Since Mr. said so, I naturally have no objection, then I will carve another sign."

After a while, Zhao Ran got a wooden waist card.

After leaving the courtyard, Shen Fangji said: "Mr. is busy during the day, why don't you let Xianzhao stay with me."

Before Jiuru opened his mouth, he felt his legs being hugged by two little paws again and couldn't help laughing: "Forget it, you have to study at night and take care of him, and I can't bear it."

Shen Fangji didn't force it, he just bowed slightly and said, "Mr. has worked hard."

"For the living... Huh, who is facing you!" Zhao Ran held Jiu Ru in one hand, turned his head to look at Shen Fang and said quietly.

He had short legs, and looking back maliciously, he couldn't keep up with Jiuru's pace, so Jiuru simply bent down and picked him up.

Zhaoran was elated, hugging Jiuru's neck, smelling his scent, watching Shen Fangji who was standing respectfully behind him getting farther and farther away.

----

At dinner time, a servant in Jiuru's room brought meals, two white steamed buns, one yellow steamed bun, a bowl of vegetarian pickles, and a slice of white meat.

"Just eat this!" Zhao Ran opened his eyes wide, he has never eaten so badly since he crawled out of the coffin.

With a smile, Jiuru took the piece of meat to him, and brought him a white steamed bun and said, "Eat it."

Looking at the steamed bun in his hand, Zhao Ran felt hot in his heart, and blurted out: "Sir, I will earn money in the future, you just need to be a gentleman!"

When he said this, it was as if he had been hit by something, as if he had said something similar in his memory.But where and when, he couldn't remember at all.

"A gentleman makes money in the right way, as long as you remember this sentence." Jiuru smiled, showing the front row of teeth, and then it seemed that he discovered that Jiuru's teeth were not as neat as imagined, but rather The front teeth are slightly on the inside and look a little delicate.

Zhao Ran insisted on giving half of the piece of meat to Jiuru. Seriously, if Jiuru hadn't given it to him, he would have disliked such a big piece of meat given by others.

After eating, Jiu Ru said, "Take a bath."

"Bath?" Zhao Ran's eyes lit up, he and Jiu Ru took a bath together, he nodded hastily.

When Jiu Ru went out to fetch water, Zhao Ran rolled over on the bed in joy.

God!It's going to be too fast to face Jiuru naked, he thought while hugging his clothes with a blushing face.

……

"Sir, why am I the only one in the bathtub?" Zhao Ran asked while sitting in the barrel.

Jiu Ru rolled up his sleeves and said, "It's okay, I'll do it after you finish washing."

After he finished speaking, he picked up the soap next to him and put some in Zhao Ran's hand like chicken feet, saying: "This is a pancreas, have you played with it?"

The pancreas in Jiang's mansion can carve flowers, but Zhaoran's eyes are wide open: "This is the legendary pancreas!"

Seeing that he was having fun, Jiu Ru smiled and said, "Go ahead and play, I'll wash your hair."

After Zhaoran finished taking a bath, Jiu Ru let him in and assigned him homework, without any intention of asking Zhaoran to watch him take a bath.

After Zhaoran finished his homework casually, he slipped outside the door of the clean room to pick the cracks in the door. Unfortunately, he was too short, so he could only see the big wooden barrel.

He didn't dare to take a chair and stand on it, so he went back to the room and lay on his stomach in resentment. Jiu Ru came in wearing a white jacket, with his black wet hair loosely tied, and held a lamp in his hand. , clearly felt that the beauties in the painting were nothing more than that.

In the dead of night, Zhao Ran was a little tossing and turning, Jiu Ru got up slightly, and gently covered him with the quilt. At that moment, Zhao Ran felt that the restlessness in his heart seemed to calm down instantly, and he felt a faint satisfaction.

He rolled over and hugged Jiu Ru's neck, Jiu Ru patted him on the back with a smile: "Go to sleep."

When Zhaoran was about to fall asleep in a daze, he wondered if he would have a nightmare. He did dream about something, but he didn't remember anything until dawn.

----

Life is simple and simple, but a few days later, Jiuru has a guest, a middle-aged Taoist priest with a horn and beard.

"Master Yang Wan." Jiu Ru said politely.

Zhao Ran sounded familiar, and he suddenly remembered that Daoist Yang Wan was the master of Zu Yin and Chong Er, and that Daoist Yang Wan would also become Shen Fangji's master in the future.

Taoist Priest Yang Wan made a bow: "Little sage, after many years, you will still look the same."

Jiuru bought some wine and food for the first time, he raised his hand and poured a glass of wine for Daoist Yang Wan: "It's nothing more than the sun and the moon in the mountains."

Zhaoran stood under the table and jumped around trying to see what Taoist Yang Wan looked like, when he suddenly saw Jiuru's slender fingers pick up a piece of pastry and handed it to his mouth, obviously mistakenly thinking that Zhaoran was jumping and wanting to eat it , Zhao Ran had no choice but to open his mouth to take the food between his fingers into his mouth.

"This child is..." Daoist Yang Wan asked.

"My student, live with me."

Daoist Yang Wan seemed a little surprised: "Can he live with you? Doesn't he have nightmares?"

"Xu Shi's heart is innocent, he also has dreams at night, but it seems that he rarely wakes up."

Priest Yang Wan pondered for a moment, then said, "I have something to tell you."

Jiuru understood what he meant, and gave Zhaoran a plate of pastries, "Let's eat outside."

Zhaoran had no choice but to come out with the plate. He always felt that what Taoist Yang Wan had to say was very important, so he hurriedly put the plate down and ran towards the Shen Fangji's yard. He tiptoed into the yard and put the hidden He found out the bamboo tube, then poured out half of the token, put it together with his own, and pulled it to the end, then he returned to Duntian's wing.

"A-Ning! A-Ning!" Zhao Ran shouted through the porter.

After a while, A Ning said outside the door, "Master, are you okay?"

"Master is all right!" Zhao Ran asked anxiously, "Is your little blue bird able to send messages?"

"Yes." Aning said embarrassingly, "But I haven't sent a few letters to Patriarch Long. He said that it's nothing serious and you don't need to tell him everything about you."

"I'm not asking you about this, you lend me a bird." Zhao Ran said.

Although Ah Ning didn't know what Zhao Ran was going to do, he obediently sent a bird into the room.

Zhaoran kicked the blue bird into his arms, wiped the seal characters on the token to the front and returned to Shen Fangji's time, hurriedly hid the bamboo tube again, and went straight to Jiuru's room.

"Junior Xianzhao." Shen Fangji ran into him in the corridor holding a book, "You came to see me for something?"

"I wanted to ask you a question, but now I've figured it out." Zhao Ran responded, and ran back to Jiu Ru's room without caring about Shen Fang Ji.

As soon as he returned to the room, he released the blue bird, and then sat on the threshold and pretended to eat.

The blue bird flew back soon.

Zhao Ran hurriedly dropped the plate, brought the blue bird into the room, and said, "What are they talking about?"

The blue bird didn't speak, but flew onto the paper and spit out a mouthful of blood, which turned into lines of words on the paper.
