My apprentice is a little weird?

Chapter 149 Jade ~ Truth?

Shen Ming said sweetly, then moved closer, put her arms around his arms and leaned her head on them.

Jiang Yan felt somewhat helpless, but also felt warm in his heart~

After all, it is still the master's little cotton-padded jacket. It can still be airtight after mending it.

He moved his index finger slightly, and a breeze blew past, taking away the stains and smell of alcohol on his body.

"My clothes are dirty and I smell like alcohol, please stay away from me~"

After hearing this, Shen Ming hugged her even tighter and said stubbornly.

"No, I won't leave. With such a powerful master like Shen Ming, we must hold on tight and never let anyone else get away with us!"

"Hahaha, really? Master is that powerful, haha~"

"That's right, Master is the most powerful, gentle, considerate and charming person in the world!"

"Is it... is it that exaggerated? Haha~ I feel a little embarrassed for praising you so much~"

"Of course I have! How could Master doubt himself?"

"Shen Ming wants to know what that magical "word" is. I believe that the master who loves his disciples the most will definitely not fail to meet such a small request, right~"

After saying that, Shen Ming looked up at Jiang Yan with admiration.

Jiang Yan laughed and laughed until he couldn't laugh anymore...

"this…………"

Shen Ming blinked and moved his little head closer, almost touching his face.

"Master~will you tell me~"

A look of hesitation flashed across Jiang Yan's face, and he frowned slightly as if he was thinking about whether to tell her. After hesitating for a while, he opened his mouth slightly.

But his expression clearly showed rejection.

So Shen Ming used his ultimate move to interrupt him!

Shen Ming's lips curled up, her eyes turned red, and mist began to form in her eyes. Soon, crystal clear gems appeared in her clear blue eyes, and she looked at him aggrievedly.

The cry was stuck in her throat, as if as long as Jiang Yan dared to say "no"! Then she would let Jiang Yan see what "tears gushing out like a spring" meant!

"Well………"

Jiang Yan was extremely speechless when he saw this scene...but he still said it.

"This secret is still too much for you now..."

"Woo~~"

"stop!"

"What I mean is, wait until your cultivation level is a little higher, then I will treat you well~"

"Wow wow wow wow! Master, you're not keeping your word wow wow wow!"

"Uh... okay, okay... I'll just tell you... and when did I promise..."

Jiang Yan compromised helplessly. Shen Ming stopped crying immediately after hearing this and said with a slightly choked voice:

"Master, please continue. Shen Ming, listen~"

Jiang Yan's mouth twitched slightly. You are really trying hard to eat melons...

However, he did not dislike Shen Ming's behavior. After all, his little apprentice was a very smart and sensible kid.

Especially when it comes to his affairs, he has a very good sense of propriety.

In my heart, as to whether or not to tell her this secret, I was subjectively inclined to tell her, and my hesitation was only due to some other considerations.

If Shen Ming hadn't made a fuss at that time, he would have just made an excuse.

But... this cunning Shen Ming really knows what he is thinking...

She immediately understood his thoughts and started acting like a spoiled brat on the spot.

Jiang Yan was in a very good mood today so he didn't care. He reached out and wiped away the water drops from the corners of Shen Ming's eyes and said leisurely.

"It's okay to tell you. After all, you have contributed to this matter~"

"But you have to promise me that when you learn this secret, you will not mention it to anyone else, nor will you disclose it to anyone. Do you understand?"

Shen Ming nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I know, Shen Ming will never tell anyone else! So Master, please tell me quickly."

Seeing her eager look, Jiang Yan couldn't help but laugh. If he suddenly kept silent at this moment, would she be suffocated to death?

Jiang Yan thought about that scene and couldn't help but sneer~

"Master, are you trying to keep Shen Ming in suspense and not tell me anything?!"

Shen Ming questioned Jiang Yan with a wise light in his eyes, which made him feel guilty:

"Ahem, how is that possible~ I was just thinking of the right words~"

"Um…"

Jiang Yan pondered for a moment and took another sip of wine.

"How should I put it~"

Shen Ming reminded him, "Can you first tell me why that pattern is called a word?"

"Well... this is purely my own guess."

Shen Ming wondered: "Why?"

Jiang Yan looked up with some nostalgic eyes and looked at the stars in the night sky.

"Because I have seen a piece of jade before, with many patterns engraved on it, put together one by one, and the arrangement is exactly the same as the text~"

"And one of those patterns is what you see now~"

"Jade? What kind of jade is that? Where is it?"

"I can't remember clearly. I found it somewhere a long time ago. Then for some reason... the jade was lost."

"And I have forgotten all the patterns on it. I can only occasionally recall one or two patterns on it, but they are also vague and unclear."

As Jiang Yan spoke, he casually condensed an unfinished strange line pattern in the palm of his hand.

"This is the one I remembered more than ten years ago."

Shen Ming stared at the pattern in Jiang Yan's hand with his bright eyes without blinking, trying to memorize it by force.

But Jiang Yan just flipped it casually, and the pattern disappeared.

"Ah, Shen Ming hasn't..."

"Don't think about it, you little brain. According to my experiments, this thing can't be memorized just by wanting to remember it~ Maybe... it requires some special medium and inheritance to complete~"

Jiang Yan said this calmly and then looked at Shen Ming.

"Although I call this thing a word, its actual use is quite similar to some imperial decrees and mantras."

Shen Ming asked again: "What is the Mantra of Imperial Command?"

"Well, you can think of this as saying something and it's a magic that uses special power combined with nature to perform. It's very magical."

"What you say is what you do... Is that what Shen Ming thinks?!"

Shen Ming looked at Jiang Yan with hope, but Jiang Yan responded with a roll of his eyes.

"Don't think too highly of it. The more difficult the thing you ask for, the more energy it consumes. And most importantly, the method of decree has long been lost."

"So Ming'er, just give up on that idea and practice diligently."

Shen Ming became depressed again after hearing this.

"Oh……"

"Hmm? That's not right? Then what is Master's? Isn't it an imperial decree?"

Jiang Yan shook his head slightly: "No, the imperial edict is not a special text. It is a kind of magic that can be performed by the user's language, body movements, calligraphy, painting, etc. It is not limited to one form."

"And the mantra I master is more like some kind of ancient spell, secret mantra, and language of gods. Because it does not require any magic power, spiritual energy, resentment, or other power to activate it."
