C2 Strange Notes

Rong Cheng sat upright in front of the table. His resolute face was covered with a rare gloomy expression. Even the air in the room seemed to be frozen.

Xue Yingyingru stood behind him. Her beautiful and gentle face did not show any traces of aging. She still had the same elegant demeanor as the number one beauty in the Western Region twenty years ago. At this moment, the caring gaze she had towards Yung Yi also revealed a hint of worry.

"What's wrong? "Father?" Yung Yi was scared by his father's stare. He couldn't help but put away his smile. He touched the wounds on his face again and said carefully, "This time, it's not my fault. It's Qiu Loong …"

"No need to explain," Rong Cheng interrupted him and said, "I didn't call you here to ask about this."

"Huh?" Yung Yi scratched his head and was a little confused: "It's not about the fight? Why is that? "

Rong Cheng lowered his head and thought for a moment. Then, he raised his eyes and looked into Yung Yi's eyes. He asked word by word, "Let me ask you, have you met any strange people or encountered any strange things in the city today?"

Yung Yi was stunned: "Strange person? "Strange?"

He clearly did not understand why his father would ask such a strange question, much less why his normally amiable father had suddenly become so serious. Thinking back on this day, other than having a fight with the bastard Qiu Loong owed him, there didn't seem to be any other special encounters.

After thinking about it again and again, he could only honestly shake his head.

"No?" Are you sure? " Rong Cheng looked a little suspicious.

"I don't think so..."

Yung Yi had just said these words when his heart froze. He remembered Qiu Loong's last words, saying that he had brought helpers with him. He guessed that someone must have secretly helped him and scared Qiu Loong away.

However, this was nothing special, right? Eastward drunkenness was not an upscale restaurant. It was a gathering of experts from all over the place. Some of the experts who did not want to show their faces were secretly playing tricks on people. Judging from his father's tone of voice, the person he was referring to should have come with ill intentions and wouldn't have helped him.

While Yung Yi was still thinking, his mother Xue Yingying opened her mouth and said, "Brother Cheng, according to the meaning of the note, it was definitely directed at Yi. I'm afraid it was directed at you, since Yi didn't encounter anything, then don't make him worry. "Yi, you should go back and rest. Tomorrow is your birthday. There will be many guests, so you have to be in good spirits."

She turned to Yung Yi with her gentle and loving gaze.

Rong Cheng was about to ask more questions, but after hearing his wife's words, he hesitated for a moment before nodding: "Fine, Yi, you can leave for now. "Don't run around for the next two days, stay home obediently. It might not be peaceful recently."

Yung Yi's words lingered at the tip of his tongue. Now that his father did not ask anymore, he swallowed his words and left. He could tell that something serious had happened to his parents, and it might have something to do with him. However, he, who was born not to be bothered by other people's worries, was also very happy. Moreover, in his opinion, what could not be solved by his father, a peerless hero?

Just as he walked out of the door, Rong Cheng's voice came from behind him, "Oh yeah, the wound on your face, go ask for some Jade Muscle Powder from Fourth Mother. It'll be better as soon as possible."

"Yes, Father."

After Yung Yi had left, Xue Yingying retracted her gaze and frowned. She took out a note from the paperweight on the table and glanced at the words on it as she muttered: "What 20 years' account? And he still needed to repay his father's debts? Brother Cheng, do you really not know who sent this? "

Rong Cheng lowered his eyebrows like a monk in meditation. However, if one looked closely, they would notice that the tip of his eyebrows was slightly twitching.

A moment later, he suddenly opened his eyes, stood up, and prepared to leave.

"Brother Cheng, where are you going?"

"I need to go see the old folks."

"What?" Xue Yingying's expression changed. She seemed to have understood something. "Could it be that you can't even deal with the trouble this time, and want to invite the few elders out? "Did you think of who sent the note?"

Rong Cheng took a deep breath, nodded, and shook his head: "Maybe, I hope I was wrong."

Xue Yingying became even more nervous. "Who is it?"

"Southern Sea Wave Pavilion, Demon Queen."

"What?!"

… ….

sandalwood restaurant, the residence of Fourth Wife Shen Siling. All year round, the pill fire had blended in with the medicinal fragrance wafting in the air. She was simply a great pill furnace. The faint fluctuations of all sorts of spirituality that emanated from the room indicated that it contained countless rare treasures and spirit pill artifacts.

After passing through a patch of green herb garden, Yung Yi pushed open the door and entered. Rong Cheng's wives all doted on Yung Yi, the one and only Rong Family seedling. They never treated him as an outsider and could come over anytime and play around with him.

Hearing the sound, Rong Yaner ran out of the room easily and said with a smile, "Yi, my mother is in the middle of making Jade Muscle Powder. She said that this medicine is especially effective on your scratches. If you use it today, you will be able to recover tomorrow."

"What a coincidence! Father also made me and Fourth Mother beg for this medicine. " Yung Yi said.

Further in, Shen Siling's voice came from the training room, "Yi, I still need a while to finish. You should follow Yan'er to the library to take a look. Recently, Fourth Mother has gotten some interesting things, I wonder if you're interested."

Yung Yi was unable to train his Essence like his sisters since he was young, so he became bored and became interested in all kinds of miscellaneous knowledge. Shen Siling, who had some kind of special knowledge, could often get some strange books and tools, which naturally aroused Yung Yi's curiosity.

This time, there weren't many things that Yung Yi wanted to buy. He casually flipped through them, and all of them were ingenious creations or miscellaneous books. Although they were not common, they did not attract his attention. However, when he flipped to the end, his brows slightly creased.

"What is this?"

It was a strange book. Judging from the quality of the paper, it didn't seem to be a common object in the Eastern Continent. There were no words on the cover, so it was not a formal book. When he flipped it open and saw that it was indeed scribbled, it seemed more like someone's notes.

What was even more strange was that he did not recognize any of the words. Ever since Yung Yi was a child, he had read many books and was very familiar with all kinds of languages from all kinds of races on the continent. However, not only did he not recognize any of the characters on the booklet, he had never even seen anything similar in other languages.

"What is this book?" he asked curiously.

Rong Yaner blinked her eyes for a moment, but still shook her head in the end. "I don't know. These are all things I just brought back to the residence. It's also my first time seeing them. You can ask my mother yourself when she comes out."

Yung Yi nodded, then casually flipped to the back. When he reached the third page, he suddenly had an idea. He had seen the larger diagrams before, and they were the Talisman Pattern s often used by refiners. When refining pills or weapons, they could be used to add energy of the five elements or some sort of special effect to the pill weapons according to the type and level.

Some Talisman Pattern refined by high-level alchemists even possessed a strong power to begin with, and could be directly used in battle.

As a genius refiner of this generation, Shen Siling's library contained quite a few Talisman Pattern. Yung Yi had grown up here and had seen many of them.

However, he had never seen any of the other symbols before. Their patterns were relatively simple and were formed from a few horizontal crosses and short arcs. They were scattered among the many Talisman Pattern s and connected them together to form some array diagrams of different shapes. Interestingly, there were places where the drawing was finished and erased, and other symbols were drawn, even repeated, as if some kind of inquiry or attempt had actually been made.

The further he flipped through, the more complex the combinations of Talisman Pattern and symbols became, the more changes he made, the more twisted and chaotic the writing became.

"Looking at this, could it be that the author is starting to get irritated?" But why is that? " he said to himself.

As he continued to climb, the situation became more and more serious. On some of the pages, due to a large number of modifications, it was already difficult to see the full picture and text.

The entire booklet had no less than a hundred pages, but the notes were only half-way done. At the end of the page, Yung Yi saw what seemed to be an outlet for him to write randomly. Moreover, in the corner of the page, there were a few black and red 'ink marks'.

Yung Yi touched it and his heart skipped a beat: "This is not ink, it's blood! "Could it be..."

Thinking back, as the notes continued to move forward, it was as if he saw the entire process of the author going from being a normal person to going insane: "This person actually vomited blood in order to draw these diagrams? What exactly is this painting? "

Yung Yi closed the book and let out a long breath. He then frowned and turned around. Sixth Sister, what's wrong? "

At this moment, Rong Yaner was no longer by his side. Instead, she had retreated to the corner of the wall. She sat on the ground and gasped for breath with a pained expression on her face. "Yi, I feel dizzy looking at these diagrams."

"What?"

Yung Yi was even more alarmed. The author of this booklet seemed to have gone crazy due to the writing of the pictures. On the other hand, Rong Yaner could not bear with just a few glances. The strangeness of this book was terrifying.

Thinking of this, he quickly let go of the book and put it back into the box. He closed the lid of the box.

"Are you okay, Sister Six?" He stepped forward and helped Rong Yaner up.

Rong Yaner still had some lingering fear as she shook her head. "It's much better now. As long as I don't look at those diagrams, the feeling gradually disappeared."

"That's good." Yung Yi also let out a sigh of relief: "Don't look at that thing anymore, it seems to be a little demonic inside."

"Yeah, I know."

Yung Yi let go of Rong Yaner and was about to leave when he suddenly had an idea. He wondered why he didn't feel uncomfortable looking at the map at all. Not only that, but he even felt that there was a strange sense of beauty in some of the diagrams. It was as if there was some sort of law of the movement of energy within them that was attracting him to explore them.

Unbelievable.
