Chapter 008: Abbreviation
I can't believe it! Sun Mu Yu shouted angrily, gesturing wildly while calling out to the crowd, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and come hold me down!"
Who is Master Yuan
Sun Mu Yu was infuriated, a cold smile forming in her heart. With a flick of her finger, a shrinking talisman suddenly appeared between her fingers
Oh, it's nothing, I just took a stroll and ended up here, what a coincidence indeed said Xu Lai while eating
In the blink of an eye, Sun Mu Yu slapped himself several times.
When he finished eating and came out of the noodle shop, the crowd at the school gate was still growing larger. He passed by and walked towards the west side of Jiangning University
Indeed, said Xu
The other two had no objections, and the three of them set off together. After walking a few steps, Chen Duo inadvertently noticed someone sitting in the noodle shop across the street, and said to her two companions, "You go ahead, I will go greet a friend."
The three were taken aback and turned to look, only to see Sun Mu Yu seemingly in a frenzy, unexpectedly slapping himself several times, then dancing wildly, trembling as if he were having a seizure.
How? Duoduo, do you know this Sun Muyu? The one! '' The girl laughed before and pointed towards the crowd.
Two girls let out a sound of "oh" and went ahead first
By the way, do you remember that Sun Mu Yu, the one we saw last night at Kang Lu's house? He seems to be Kang Lu's cousin. I don't know what happened, but there was a crowd gathered over there
"How about having tomato fish? It's been a while since I last had it," suggested another girl
Still nothing, Brother Mu Yu
"Alright then, I am going to have my meal." Xu turned around and left, as he still had to continue surveying the terrain in the afternoon and did not have time to engage in idle chatter with him
Aren't there any more words to say? What I dislike the most is when others flaunt the title of a mage to deceive people! Sun Mu from hetushu.com sneered coldly
Mu Yu, over here! At the school gate, a group of fashionable and attractive young men and women were gathered. Among them, a round-faced girl spotted Sun Mu Yu approaching and immediately waved to greet him
This time he returned almost empty-handed, except for some important personal items. Although online shopping is well-developed now, it only allows for the purchase of everyday items, and a few things he needs cannot be bought.
Is this school quite good?" Xu looked at the gate of the school across the street.
"Xiaoyun, you are becoming more and more adorable." Sun Muyu smiled at the girl and said, "Hello everyone, it's been a long time since we last met"
Oh, then let's talk about it next time. Chen Duo is also someone who knows how to gauge the situation; since the other party has matters to attend to, she certainly would not impose on them.
"Not bad, well done!" Chen Duo was very satisfied with Xu Lai's performance, and that surname Sun deserved it.
"The injuries on my cousin were caused by you, weren't they? You even deceived her by saying it was to expel dirty water. Ha, such tricks might work on outsiders, but you won't fool me! Is this how you expel dirty water?" Sun Mu Yu scoffed.
"Are you an impostor? And then?" Xu said
"Alright, just consider me an imposter. Is there anything else?" Xu Lai is still in a hurry to go eat.
"Yes, it seems to be called that." Xu recalled and indeed had a bit of an impression.
"Let's go, where shall we eat this time?" Chen Duo asked
"That is a top-notch place in Jiangning City. Would you like me to take you inside for a stroll?" Chen Duo said with a sense of pride
Xu raised her head and saw her, saying: "Landlord, you are here too. Would you like a bowl of noodles? They are quite delicious."
"That works, you continue eating. My friend is still waiting for me to have dinner," Chen Duo said as she stood up and prepared to leave
This is simply ridiculous! What is a mage?
Xu Lai said while eating noodles: "Don't worry, I'm here."
Chen Duo Ming knew he was boasting, but she did not expose him. Instead, she followed his words and said: "Exactly, we also have sorcerers, what is there to be afraid of!"
Chen Duo took a look and indeed recognized the young man he had seen last night, saying: "We have met once."
"Indeed, that fellow must be going mad," Xu said
Some girls were so frightened that they retreated one after another, and the others were also stunned in shock
Everyone was in a flurry, searching frantically, but after looking everywhere, they still could not find the item he mentioned
Compared to traditional talismans, abbreviated talismans do not have any particular advantages, and their effectiveness is significantly inferior to that of ordinary talismans. However, they excel in their small paper size and strong concealment, making them quite effective for certain covert talismanic purposes
The so-called "shrink talismans" are a type of talisman that has gained popularity in recent years within the esoteric community. They are made using a special semi-transparent talisman paper, which is several times smaller than ordinary talismans, approximately the size of a band-aid, and are inscribed with a micro-engraving talisman pen
"Let's go, it looks quite frightening," said the girl accompanying Chen Duo.
"Find it, keep looking!" Sun Mu Yu could only say this repeatedly. He knew in his heart that the shrinking symbol must be on him, but it was a bitter truth he could not express. After all, he couldn't just let people strip him of all his clothes, could he
Sun Mu Yu, having successfully achieved his goal, let out a cold laugh and no longer paid any attention, walking towards Jiangning University across the street. He had previously been a student at Jiangning University, but after only half a year, he left to seek a mentor in Xuzhou
At this moment, three girls came out from the school, and one of them frowned and said, "What a lack of manners, making such a noise at the school gate, what kind of behavior is that"
Walking and stopping like this until the afternoon, he had a general understanding of the terrain and layout of the surrounding area. However, to achieve a more precise location, he still needed some tools to assist in the calculations
The girl next to her laughed and said, "That is Sun Mu Yu, the young master from a wealthy family, of course everyone is flattering him"
"Speak up, what exactly are you trying to scheme? My cousin fainted; it was actually your doing, wasn't it?" Sun Mu Yu said confidently, as everything indeed unfolded just as he had anticipated
When it comes to driving out dirty water, it is not an easy task. He has seen his master, Yuan Tianlin, perform it twice, and the procedures are extremely complex. A slight mistake could lead to failure, and he has not dared to attempt it to this day
I heard my cousin Kang Lu say that those two people actually used their fists to drive away the dirty water
What the heck! What is this guy babbling about, claiming that we harmed his cousin! Chen Duo almost slammed the table in response
Chen Duo felt somewhat troubled, wondering about the significance of this master, as it sounded quite impressive: "Do you think they will cause us any trouble?"
Xu Lai chuckled softly
He is new here and is not familiar with Jiangning City, so he really does not know where to buy it
Xu Lai truly does not know Yuan Tianlin from Xuzhou, who is probably from a minor school. The various schools of techniques have been passed down to this day, and the intricate web of major and minor schools is complex; it is impossible for him to know each one.
Ah? What is a reverse joint symbol?" Chen Duo asked eagerly
He said: "It was just a sprain, and once the effects wear off, it will be fine."
Master Yuan Tianlin! This time the truth is out, even Master Yuan does not know, yet he still claims to be some kind of mage!" Sun Mu Yu scoffed
Chen Duo entered the noodle shop, sat down opposite the person, and tapped the table with his fingers: "What brings you here?"
Last night, he had already begun to have some doubts, but he could not confirm them. However, after Kang Lu woke up this morning and described the process of expelling dirty water, he was completely certain that Xu Lai was a thorough fraud
Although Sun Mu Yu comes from a wealthy family, he has been fascinated by magical arts and secret techniques since childhood. Ultimately, he leveraged numerous connections to become a disciple of Yuan Tianlin in Xuzhou, and over the years, he has learned quite a lot.
Oh, you ghost! Sun Mu Yu cursed inwardly, what kind of person are you? Don't you have any self-awareness?
"Then how do you know?" Chen Duo was astonished
Continue searching, there must be some! Sun Mu Yu shouted, he is truly at his wit's end and feels like he is on the brink of despair.
Sun Mu Yu said with a cold smile, "Of course I am, but whether you are is hard to say!"
It is a type of talisman that causes a person's joints to become uncontrollable
Do you know? Chen Duo asked curiously
Sun Mu Yu felt a sense of suffocation as he held his breath, wondering what this guy meant. Damn it, you were a fraud to begin with, alright? What do you think you are!
Xu Lai heard him say the word "also" and replied, "You are too, aren't you"
Xu turned around and took a look; the person seemed somewhat familiar, and said, "Oh, you must be that someone, right?"
"What I... I say you are a fraud!" Sun Mu Yu said angrily, "You can only deceive those who are ignorant, but you cannot fool me!"
Damn! I am Sun Mu Yu, who is that person!" Sun Mu Yu was furious, what kind of person is this, unable to even remember his name.
Then did you just stick his thing back on?
Ah? You ran into him, did you?" Chen Duo said in surprise
"Are you free? I have some matters to attend to this afternoon," Xu said
A few days ago, he just returned from Xuzhou and arranged to meet a few familiar friends to have a meal together nearby
"You still know about dirty water, it seems you really understand a bit." Xu was surprised
Damn it! What do you mean by 'fine then'? It makes it seem as if I am wronging him!
"Stop putting on airs. What kind of mage are you? You're just a fraud!" Sun Mu Yu said coldly
After inquiring down several streets, no one seemed to know anything. Passing by a coffee shop, I saw two people standing at the entrance, speaking in low voices. It was quite a coincidence that I had seen one of them at noon.
The other two girls were about to gossip when they suddenly heard a scream coming from the crowd
What do you mean by understanding a little? Do you know who I am? I am the apprentice of Master Yuan from Xuzhou! If you encounter me, you are bound to be unlucky! Sun Mu Yu said proudly
"Where is Sun Mu Yu?" another girl asked
The remaining people immediately gathered around, laughing and calling out, with all sorts of remarks, creating a lively atmosphere.
"I remember, we just ran into each other." Xu Lai picked up the bowl and took a sip of the soup
"The landlord will see you again." Xu Lai waved his hand.
The crowd continued to be in a state of chaos. The entrance of Jiangning University is already a bustling area, and soon a large group gathered to watch the commotion.
Xu Lai briefly recounted the previous events
Chen Duo was excited for a while, but then felt a bit worried: "So, does that mean that kid is also a mage?"
"My school is right here," Chen Duo pointed to Jiangning University
Fortunately, with so many people around, they rushed forward, some holding hands, others grabbing heads, and finally managed to pin the person down to the ground
At his call, a group of men finally came to their senses and rushed forward. However, Sun Mu Yu was in a frenzied state, trembling all over, and in the chaos, he knocked down several more people.
Sun Mu Yu suppressed his anger and glanced at Xu Lai, saying: "Are you also a mage?"
"No need, I eat this often here," Chen Duo said. "What are you doing here? Is there something you need?"
"Buddy, just count on your own luck." Sun Mu Yu's figure swayed slightly as he brushed past Xu Lai, and that talisman had already silently adhered to Xu Lai's waist.
"Yes, it seems to be a student of Master Yuan from Xuzhou," Xu said
Oh? Xu was puzzled
"Quick, look for something like transparent tape on me, hurry and tear it off!" Sun Mu Yu shouted from below
