Chapter 249 Shangguan Qi's Career Waterloo
Lu Yuguan was like being struck by thunder, and he stood there in a daze.
He was so shocked that his lips opened slightly, but his throat seemed to be choked by something and he couldn't utter a complete word.
Lu Yuguan stared at the golden horn in front of him, and only one voice echoed wildly in his mind.
Network cable?
How is this possible? Isn't that something that only existed in the original world?
But now that we are in this world of cultivating immortals, how could such incompatible things appear?
After a long while, Lu Yuguan swallowed hard, his Adam's apple rolling violently, and asked in a dry and trembling voice: "Did you...just say the network cable?"
The sound was so light that it seemed like it could be blown away by a breeze.
Jinjiao crossed his arms, raised his chin slightly, and glanced at Lu Yuguan with a look full of disdain.
"Humph, mortals are so old-fashioned that they don't even know the little tricks of the trade."
He dragged out his words, as if he was deliberately showing off his knowledge, and as if he wanted to suppress Lu Yuguan's astonishment.
Lu Yuguan didn't care about Jinjiao's attitude at all.
At this moment, his mind was filled with the word "network cable" which caused a huge stir.
Lu Yuguan felt his head spinning as if a magnitude 10 earthquake had erupted in his mind. Countless thoughts were like wild horses running wild, colliding wildly in his mind.
"There's more to it than that," said Golden Horn, "the odd changes, the even remains the same—"
"Symbols look at quadrants?"
Lu Yuguan said in shock.
Jinjiao was stunned. "You can actually answer that?"
Lu Yuguan suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Jinjiao's arm with his hands like a pair of pliers.
"Why... do you know this mantra?"
Lu Yuguan was extremely excited, his voice trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of anxiety.
Jinjiao glanced at him and said slowly, "Why, only you are allowed to know, but I am not allowed to know?"
"Let me tell you, this formula was taught to us by the adults above!"
Lu Yuguan pressed on, "The master above? Who is that?!"
Jinjiao felt uneasy when he was stared at, "Masters are masters..."
Lu Yuguan refused to believe it and continued, "Impossible! This formula is clear... If you know it, please tell me... Tell me now, what do you know?"
Silver Horn poked Golden Horn on the back.
"Jinjiao, since he can answer it, why don't we try something else?"
Jinjiao suddenly realized: "That makes sense!"
Lu Yuguan was stunned: "What else?"
The two children spoke again: "In the dying state, they sat up in shock—"
Lu Yuguan: "Responsibility?"
"When conducting a plasma physics collision experiment, if the polar coordinate of the third energy is adjusted in the negative direction by three alpha units, how much impact will it have on the final result?"
Lu Yuguan: "Love Apartment Season 2 Episode 19!"
Jinjiao and Yinjiao looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise. They obviously didn't expect Lu Yuguan to follow up with this sentence so quickly.
Jinjiao couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement: "He's quite capable."
Silver Horn, with a curious look on his face, tilted his head and asked, "Why is your answer different from what we usually hear?"
Lu Yuguan was in no mood to answer him, and hurriedly asked, "You just said that the formula was taught by adults, so what else did adults teach you?"
Yinjiao looked at Jinjiao and hesitated, as if thinking about whether to reveal it.
Jinjiao flicked his sleeves and said, "It's okay to tell you. The master also taught us a lot of strange words, such as 'Palace Jade Liquor' and 'One hundred and eighty per cup'."
"But even we don't know what it means."
When Lu Yuguan heard this, his heart was filled with shock.
The time traveler——
He must be a time traveler like him!
He thought he was the only one stranded in this world, but unexpectedly, he could hear news about his compatriots. This really excited him.
He couldn't wait to ask again, "What does the adult you are talking about look like?"
"Where did you come from?"
Jinjiao looked him up and down and said, "Let me ask you first, are you Lu Yuguan?"
Lu Yuguan's pupils constricted.
"That's right!"
"Did you offer food as tribute to Ancestor Xuanyu before?"
"Tribute?" Lu Yuguan turned his head, remembering the time he first worshipped at the Etiquette School. "Could it be Goubuli meat buns?"
"That's right, it's him!" Yinjiao said excitedly, "The person Master Taixu wants us to find is you!"
"Find me?!"
Lu Yuguan's heart was pounding.
Could it be a time traveler who knows me?
"What's the name of the Taixu Zhenren you're talking about?"
After hearing this, Jinjiao and Yinjiao looked at each other in surprise.
"name?"
"Does Master Taixu have a name?"
"I've never heard of it..."
"Did the ancestor ever tell you about this?"
"The ancestor hasn't returned to the palace for many years. Do you still remember what he said?"
"Uh...didn't that stupid dog explain anything?"
"What the hell is going on? He only knows how to bully us!"
"Cao!"
"When we get back, we'll definitely blow up his dog bowl!"
……
Lu Yuguan was speechless.
After asking for a long time, I got stuck on the name.
"Could you please draw your adult's appearance? Who knows, I might be able to recognize him?" Lu Yuguan asked tentatively.
Shangguan Qi, who had been standing aside for a long time, finally said, "Painting? I'm familiar with this!"
"One hundred taels per painting, no credit!"
Lu Yuguan: "Four hot pot meals, the total cost is one hundred taels."
Shangguan Qi: “…”
Not long after, at Lu Yuguan's instruction, Xiao Guozi sent someone to deliver writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone.
Jinjiao frowned and thought for a long time before he spoke.
"She has two eyebrows."
Shangguan Qi was about to put pen to paper when he heard this and uttered a sigh, "Could you describe it more clearly?"
Jinjiao: "Two curved eyebrows."
Shangguan Qi: “…”
Lu Yuguan: “…”
Silver Horn pushed Gold Horn away and said hurriedly, "Get out of the way. Let me describe it."
Shangguan Qi pulled the corner of his mouth and picked up the pen again.
Silver Horn: "Master Taixu has long hair."
Shangguan Qi: "And then?"
Silver Horn: "Very long and beautiful black hair!"
Shangguan Qi: “…”
Lu Yuguan: “…”
Shangguan Qi put down his pen, his face full of helplessness: "Hey, you two, how is your description any different from saying nothing at all?"
"Nine out of ten women on the street have curved eyebrows and long hair."
"According to what you say, how many portraits should I draw?"
"Can you give me some useful details, even a mole on the face or a scar at the corner of the mouth?"
Upon hearing this, Jinjiao scratched his head and tried to recall it again. Suddenly, his eyes lit up: "I remember now. When she smiled, she had a shallow dimple at the corner of her mouth, one on the right."
Shangguan Qi perked up and quickly picked up a pen, lightly sketching a rough face shape on the paper, and then made a small indentation at the corner of the mouth.
"Also, what do your eyes look like? Big eyes, small eyes? Double eyelids, single eyelids?"
Jinjiao hesitated for a long time and shook his head.
Shangguan Qi rolled his eyes and looked at Yinjiao, "What about you? Do you still remember what your adults look like?"
Yinjiao frowned and shook his head as well.
Shangguan Qi simply put the brush on the table and sat back in his chair.
"Definitely -"
"You are painting your mother here?"
