Chapter 116 We Are Shadows
She carefully took out the paper roll. After buying it, she realized that it was not paper at all, but an extremely smooth animal skin that had been processed with special techniques, which was thirty centimeters long. After being unfolded, it was a square with a gossip figure on it, and then there were many thin lines to outline the roads, with word marks on it. Because the lines and handwriting were too dense, the entire gossip figure covered.
Xiang Nuan was shocked and gently twisted the animal skin with her hands. At a glance, she knew that it was an ancient object. How did the ancients do such a thin and strong animal skin as thick as paper?
After a little strange, Xiang Nuan was attracted by the lines and words on it. After seeing it, his hands trembled, and the ancient formation!
The one drawn on it is actually an ancient formation.
Although there are no ancient books of ancient formations in Youzhan, every time I hear the predecessors sigh that Youzhan has lost the most precious treasure, and they all sigh that it would be great if they could preserve the ancient books of Bagua Ancient Formation. It is said that other formations evolved from this formation.
Now, the ancient Bagua formation they used as treasures is in her hands. How could she not be excited?
Xiang Nuan sat down on the chair, carefully placed the Bagua ancient formation drawings on the table, spread them flat, and pressed the sides with a ruler divided into two halves as a ruler, and then looked carefully.
The more I look at it, the more I feel the more I feel the depth and mystery of the ancient formation. In this way, Xiang Nuan studied it selflessly.
The two people in the distance stood in the dark and accompanied her. They passed by in the afternoon and it became dark. It was not until they could not see the words on it clearly. Xiang Nuan came back to her senses and realized that she was so obsessed with it that she actually saw the evening.
Although it can be seen far outside, the lighting of the ancient building is not very good, and the light in the house is already very dark. Looking outside, looking at the drawings on the table, Xiang Nuan frowned. The ancient formation is indeed profound. She has the ability to remember everything she has and has a super brain. Her understanding ability has always been a god-like existence in the war. She cannot understand the mystery of the Bagua Formation at once. It seems that she still needs to spend some time studying it.
But, what should I do today?
The hidden guard hasn't seen it, and Lan Yuewan hasn't got it yet. Grandpa's meaning is definitely not to just let her get this ancient gossip formation. So should I continue walking or come again next time?
The dark eyes narrowed.
I carefully folded the drawings, put them in my backpack, put them in my ring ruler, put them on the table, stood up, walked out of the book hall, looked up at the afterglow of the sunset that had already fallen in the valley in the distance, and the warm sunset was red in my eyes, but it gave people a feeling of desolation.
Xiang Nuan let out a long breath, withdrew her gaze, looked around. There was no light here, and if she walked on, it would be pitch black, and she walked back firmly.
As the saying goes, she can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. It's useless for her to be anxious. The ancient town of Lanyuewan is obviously the Bagua ancient formation. If she doesn't learn this ancient formation, she can't find her grandfather's purpose in Lanyuewan. So she wisely prepared to go back and study the Bagua ancient formation first, and then take a look at the true face of the ancient town.
Anyway, there are more than three months left before the date of paying tax in Lanyuewan. With Xu Ai here, paying taxes is not a problem, so the first thing is to learn this ancient formation first.
As expected, as she expected, the formations in the ancient town were not all opened, and she went out no matter how she came in, without any obstacles. It was just that the speed of going out was much faster than when she came, and the galloping figure showed the ancient martial arts technique.
The young man looked at her back who left without hesitation and said, "Grandpa, did she leave like this?"
"What about that?" The old man had a rare smile on his face, which surprised the man.
"Have she not achieved her purpose yet?" Looking at Nuan again, her figure had disappeared.
"Since she has come to Lanyuewan, it means that she has obtained the land deed and procedures here. Lanyuewan is already hers, so why are she anxious?" The old man turned around and walked back.
The man chased after him and said, "Then can I continue to follow her?"
"You just stay here and wait for her. When she admits that you are her guard, your mission will truly begin." The old man said in a long tone.
"Will she not admit me?" The man said in confusion. He had been secretly protecting her for ten years. Although she didn't know her existence, he had actually regarded herself as her hidden guard. In just this month, when she met Xu Ai, he had no chance to take action. Those who were secretly unfavorable to Xiang Nuan were dealt with by Xu Ai.
"Do you know why our hidden guards exist?" The old man did not turn around, but his steps slowed down a little.
"Isn't it to protect the descendants of the aristocratic family?"
The old man shook his head, "This is just one of them. To protect them, the bodyguards in the open can do it. Why do you choose a hidden guard? And there is only one person, and you will never appear as a hidden guard in front of others for the rest of your life?"
The man was stunned, yes, if it was just for protection, the more hidden guards, the better, why is there only one?
"Grandpa, why do you think?"
The old man stopped, "Because we are their shadows."
The man was stunned, shadow?
These two words have a profound meaning, but it depends on how you understand it.
"Only if you truly understand this sentence, you will become a qualified guard." The old man's voice was a little misty.
Xiang Nuan returned to the entrance of the cave, and the person who brought her in was indeed waiting there. He was surprised to see her, but he still took Xiang Nuan back respectfully.
As soon as she went out, Xiang Nuan saw Xu Ai standing in the yard and was obviously relieved to see her.
"Are you hungry?" Xu Ai looked at her and asked when she saw that she had nothing to do.
Xiang Nuan rubbed her stomach and blinked, "I didn't feel it before, you were so hungry when you mentioned it."
"Have supper first." Xu Ai saw that she could still be so relaxed, and obviously the trip was quite smooth.
"Okay, go for dinner first, and I promised to take you to Xingyue Avenue for snacks. This is just the right time." Xiang Nuan pulled Xu Ai and walked out.
Xu Ai held her helplessly, "Nannuan, we can't eat anything when we go like this."
Xiang Nuan stopped and looked at Xu Ai, and patted her forehead in a moment. How could she forget that she is not the B-year-old college student Xiang Nuan whom no one knows. She can eat at will on Xingyue Avenue at will. She is the little childhood sweetheart of Xu Shao, the heir of the first family Xu family. Not to mention Xu Ai, if he appeared on Xingyue Avenue tonight, the snack street on Xingyue Avenue would be crowded every day. If she appeared on Xingyue Avenue with Xu Ai like this, she would definitely be watched instantly and immediately made headlines. It is impossible to eat snacks as happily as before.
As expected, becoming famous is not a good thing, but it is convenient to do things when you were silent and unknown!
Looking at her instantly pulling her back down, Xu Ai smiled and held her hand and walked into the room, "I have someone to buy it, we can still eat it here."
"Do you know I like to eat that?" Xiang Nuan twitched. She didn't have to eat snacks from Xingyue Avenue, but liked that atmosphere. She used to be very lonely. When she was fine, she liked to go to such a lively place for a while. The noise would temporarily make her forget her loneliness. I really don't think the snacks from Xingyue Avenue are so delicious.
"Just buy some of them back." Xu Ai said naturally.
Seeing him telling the truth, Xiang Nuan quickly said, "You can ask someone to come back quickly. I either like to eat food there or the fun there. Since I don't go there, let the chef make some food in B City."
Xu Ai stopped and looked at her with distress, so that's how it was.
"Okay." After saying that, he gestured to the person following behind. The man immediately called the person who bought the snacks and then ordered the chef to make special food in B City.
Xu Ai's hand was gently pressed, and Xiang Nuan was pulled into his arms by him. Xiang Nuan paused and heard Xu Ai's voice coming from his head, "With me in the future, Nuannuan will not be alone."
Xiang Nuan's eyes were curved, and he looked up at him and said, "I know!"
"I know?" Xu Ai held her in her arms with both hands, looked down at her curved eyebrows, feeling a joy she had never had before.
"Well, you told me when I was five."
At this time, Xiang Nuan was in Xu Ai's eyes, and stars flashed out from her bright eyes, which was so beautiful! At the same time, she remembered Xiang Nuan when she was five years old, with her bangs in her big eyes. Her big eyes were not shining, but she could listen to you hard, and she had a strong memory and would never forget what she said to her.
When did you say this to her when you were five years old?
After thinking for a while, Xu Ai smiled. It was one time when Xiang Nuanwu woke up and her parents were repairing the lawn outside. She shouted twice that no one came. She groped out of the room and then went to his house as she remembered. As soon as she picked her up, she cried and shouted to ask her for her parents, saying that she was afraid of loneliness.
Xu Ai hugged her and coaxed her, turning her wheelchair out to Nuan’s parents, "Nannuan is not afraid. With me here, Nuannuan will not be alone."
"Nannuan still remember?" Xu Ai thought that when she woke up and couldn't see her parents crying, how could Nuannuan face the fact that her parents would never come back after she died? She was not by her side at that time, how scared and desperate was she in her heart?
"Remember, I remember every word you said." Xiang Nuan's smile faded. At that time, the only world was Xu Ai except her parents, and his voice was everything he expected every day. How could he not remember the source of happiness?
Leaning in his arms was as peaceful and happy as snuggling in his arms and listening to his stories when he was a child. However, his arms were still very weak at that time, and he could support her in this situation.
Xu Ai hugged the person in her arms, looked up at the dark sky, and with her, she felt like she had the whole world.
Retracting his gaze, rubbing his face gently on her head, very gentle, as if there were rare treasures in his arms, and he did not dare to use force.
