my demon

Chapter 8 Literacy

Xiao Yan, who had a few days of free time and was restricted from eating, should have been in a bad mood on weekdays, but now that he is accompanied by a lich, it is quite different.

After finishing it in the study, he dismissed the servant, touched the soul box on his chest and asked the Lich: "Let me take you around the palace first, shall I introduce you?"

The Lich said: "I have already passed by in the early morning, this place is not big."

Xiao Yan was silent for a while and said in a low voice: "Okay." He felt a little lonely in his heart, and forced a laugh: I... I entered the palace when I was five years old, and I have been in the palace all the time, and I have never been out. , I will take you out of the palace to have a look..." This supreme forbidden palace is actually a prison he cannot leave.

The Lich didn't know that he was so lonely, and said bluntly: "To understand the laws of a world, naturally the fastest way is to learn from books. You can teach me to recognize the characters of your world."

When he learns to read, he will naturally be able to read independently quickly and understand all of this as quickly as possible. After all, liches are undead creatures who have given up their lives in pursuit of boundless knowledge and laws. The thirst for knowledge is engraved on their in the soul.

Xiao Yan suddenly cheered up: "Okay, literate, right? Then let's start with the Three Character Classic."

But the Lich asked: "No, is there a book like dictionary definition? Just teach me to read it once."

Xiao Yan was startled: "Dictionary... Then, "Shuowen Jiezi"?"

The Lich said: "Take a look."

Sure enough, Xiao Yan took the first volume of "Shuowen Jiezi" from the bookshelf, clicked on the words and began to speak, after a few words, Lich said in a low voice: "No, just read it once."

Xiao Yan paused, read it as expected, turned the page, and read it slowly.

The young man's voice was soothing, like a jade stone, and he recited, occasionally stopping in the middle to drink a few sips of water, and then continued to read. After an hour of continuous reading, the attendants outside were also used to it, because most of His Majesty's homework required memorization and practice. Read, His Majesty also recited it from time to time in the past.

After reading for about an hour, Xiao Yan's voice gradually lowered. Although he himself was not conscious, Lich whispered: "It's ok, take a rest."

Xiao Yan stopped, with a faint smile on his lips, just about to say something, he stopped suddenly.

A cold lich appeared behind him at some point, with a white bone holding a plate of mutton shortbread and putting it on the table, Xiao Yan could even see the crystal gemstone ring on the bone finger.

The aroma of sauced mutton reached his nose.

The Lich looked at his wide-open eyes and explained: "It came from your imperial dining room, thank you for reading for me."

Xiao Yan opened his mouth, and the corner of his mouth could hardly help laughing, but he still walked over: "Thank you."

The golden cake is very crispy, but the most delicious thing is the mutton in sauce that is soft and rotten in the middle and fried with green onion sauce. Incomparable.

After eating two mutton shortcakes, Xiao Yan had never felt so energetic in his body. He was also a little surprised at his appetite and the somewhat inelegant way of eating. He watched the Lich put the leftover plates and fire into a gorgeous gem-studded dish. In the sleeve, disappeared, very surprised.

The Lich said: "Storage ring." He only discovered in the morning that he had begun to be able to open the storage ring bound to his soul, but casting spells still required too much mana, and this world was a world with low magic elements. So much so that he can only simply store and take such a few foods, which has exhausted most of his magic power, and the trauma of his soul body has greatly affected the recovery of his magic power.

Xiao Yan didn't ask any more questions. It is recorded in the book that ghosts, gods and monsters naturally have thousands of magic spells with infinite magical effects.He reached out and washed his hands with clean water on the basin rack beside him, and dried them with a towel. He turned his head and saw a small whirlwind with snowflakes passing through the study room, passing through the rear window, and opened his eyes slightly. eyes.

The Lich explained: "Take the smell away." Just such a small cleansing spell made it difficult for him to maintain the phantom of the soul body. He returned to the soul box and stopped talking. It's hard to describe the exhaustion of longing for eternal sleep, but at the moment his soul box is in the hands of others, he must stay awake. Fortunately, the soul box is close to Xiao Yan, which can give him some peace.

Sure enough, Xiao Yan smelled the chilly smell of ice and snow in the air, which swept away the original unique smell of mutton and green onions in the room, and even the scent of smoked ambergris was swept away.

He brought tea over and drank it, planning to chew a few sachets later to get rid of the taste in his mouth.

Sure enough, when the servants came in, the study was as clean and fresh as before. No one knew that their little emperor had just eaten two mutton fires.

After lunch, Xiao Yan walked slowly to Meishan as before, and slowed down when he was halfway up the mountain. The Lich talked to him in the soul box: "Your physical fitness is too poor."

Xiao Yan panted slightly: "Yeah, I can't even hold on to the riding and archery class for long."

The Lich was silent for a while: "You need to exercise your body."

Xiao Yan smiled and said: "Well, I will work hard." But the riding and archery master will soon reveal his performance to Queen Mother Sun, and then he will be ill again and cannot go to riding and archery lessons. After all, Queen Mother Sun Very concerned about myself.

Xiao Yan didn't say this to the Lich, he instinctively didn't want to show his incompetence and weakness in front of the Lich, and didn't want to be discovered by the Lich that he had nothing...

Even the luck of the so-called True Dragon Emperor is in jeopardy.

In fact, my own life is completely in the hands of the queen mother, the auxiliary prince, and the auxiliary ministers. They can abolish themselves at any time and replace them with a more obedient and manipulative little emperor.

At that time, that little emperor has become the so-called "true man".

The Lich... Will he also go to assist him?

Xiao Yan's jaw tightened, no, this is my demon, he thought through gritted teeth.

He walked to the top of the mountain out of breath, looked down, saw the cleansing room, thought of Qi Yuan again, clenched his palms, and thought of himself, never really owned anything, the throne, accompanying...

He walked around the courtyard with ease, drew a talisman, and waited for the Lich to absorb the grievances.

The sky is clear, the snow is silent, and in the quiet garden, the lich is like a ball of light that may disappear at any time, flickering, ethereal and uncertain.Xiao Yan squinted his eyes, and suddenly his chest was full of pride, and his desire for power boiled to its peak.

He is the right man, and no one can stand in front of him.

The real one will be hungry too.

Half a child, eating a poor old man, the little emperor didn't know that at his age, even in ordinary people's homes, he had an amazing appetite. When he returned from climbing the mountain, he was hungry again, and the mutton he had eaten was quickly digested.

After the dinner with clear soup and little water, the little emperor once again got a chicken drumstick and two marinated eggs brought by the Lich from the imperial dining room.The wind-dried chicken legs should be hung in the air in winter to dry. The chicken legs that lose moisture are torn into the mouth. The aroma of pepper, salt and various spices is a match made in heaven. , for the first time he felt sleepy after eating.

It's no wonder that I eat all day long and have nothing to do. It turns out that I really just want to sleep when I'm full, and I have no willpower.

He lay lazily on the imperial concubine's couch, read a few more pages of "Shuowen Jiezi", and then fell asleep sleepily.

Crushed snowflakes fluttered, a moonlight-like shadow appeared beside the couch, the pale and slender bony hand picked up the book that was about to fall and put it aside, the lich carried the boy to the bed, and then took the "Shuowen Jiezi" After flipping through it, Xiao Yan had read half of the book in the morning, and he had already memorized all the words he was taught. Based on these, he quickly finished reading the rest of the book, and then he found a history book on the shelf and read it. .

A lich who doesn't need to sleep or rest can spend unlimited time on exploration and learning. It doesn't take him many days to master the words and language of this world, and then use these books to create massive Absorb all the information of this world.

I have to say that it really is the royal family, with a huge collection of books. He quickly settled down and started reading quickly, and consciously searched for books and information about magic, practice, monks, beliefs, exorcism, etc. that involve unnatural forces .
