"What did the hand-drawn images look like?"
"Now, I can't quite rember, but these things looked sowhat similar, yet completely different from it."
"Are you speaking of the human body's ridian illustrations?"
"What human body ridian illustrations? How is that different from a ridian map?"
"The human body ridian illustrations remain a very mysterious treasure to this day, and moreover, I have never seen it in all these years, though my master ntioned it to before."
"What's so mysterious about it? Besides, science has advanced so much these days. It shouldn't be hard to draw it out, I think."
"Right, under normal circumstances, it wouldn't be hard, but to draw with such detail is really very difficult; it's essentially a lost art. Are you implying that you... you've seen it?"
"Yes, I've seen it, but it's not quite the sa as what you're describing."
"That's impressive. Maybe I can understand a bit and then sketch a rough outline for you. Take a look and see if it matches the shape, but don't pay attention to the specific contents inside; I can't articulate them."
"Okay, go ahead and draw."
With that, Ling'er stood up, then grabbed a pen and a piece of paper from the side.
Afterward, she began to sketch on it.
Although it was sowhat rough and squiggly, it indeed resembled the shape.
But when Lin Yi saw it, he felt a strong sense of familiarity.
Clearly, it bore the sa shape as what he had seen that afternoon, but the specific details still didn't quite match up.
"Hmm, the way you've drawn it, I indeed feel there are so similarities, like this area that's raised, and, sigh, this area that dips in."
"Brother Lin, where did you see it?"
"In the hands of an old man, and moreover, that book was very old, seed to be at least a hundred years old."
"Brother Lin, could I et him?"
Ling'er seed truly excited upon hearing this.
Lin Yi didn't quite grasp what excited her so much; however, he was well aware of Ling'er's deep research into this field.
To him, these items might just be paper, but to her, they might indeed be treasured like jewels.
"It should be no problem, and moreover, he ca over today and spoke a lot of strange things that I just couldn't understand at all."
"Where is he located?"
"Right in the Liu Yao Community."
"Can we hurry over now?"
"Now?"
At this point, Lin Yi frowned slightly and glanced at the clock, which didn't seem too late; it was just 8:00 PM.
If they hurried over, he believed the old man would not yet be resting.
"But is there sothing urgent? Do we need to go today?"
"I can't wait another mont, and if it's really that illustration, then forget it, explaining this to you now won't make sense. I just ask that you truly bring to him."
"Okay, no problem, I'll take you there now."
Although Lin Yi didn't understand why Liu Yao was in such a rush, he knew Ling'er was a person who acted with great discretion.
Under normal circumstances, Ling'er wouldn't act so impulsively.
Lin Yi seems to understand that Ling'er's visit this ti would definitely bring a breakthrough in this matter.
However, he didn't know if Ling'er could fulfill the request that Director Lin had made at the ti.
In a hurry, he took Ling'er with him, and half an hour later, they arrived at Jinwan Community.
After arriving here, Lin Yi checked the ti—it was exactly 8:30.
So Lin Yi rang the doorbell.
Because when he had just co over from the yard, he saw the lights in the living room and study were still on, which ant that the old man probably hadn't gone to bed yet at this ti.
"Coming, coming."
As expected, an elderly voice ca from inside.
At that mont, Ling'er seed very nervous.
Lin Yi turned back to look at her.
It was just a visit to et soone; was there a need to be this nervous? Therefore, Lin Yi indeed found her current behavior sowhat incomprehensible.
Soon, the door was opened.
When the two of them appeared in front of Director Lin, the old man was just slightly taken aback.
He hadn't expected Lin Yi to show up at this ti, and moreover, to bring along a young girl.
Upon seeing the old man, Ling'er simply sized him up before furrowing her brow tightly.
"Director Lin, I'm sorry for disturbing you so late," said Lin Yi.
"Oh, it's nothing, it's nothing, co in, please," replied Director Lin.
With that, he let the two of them in.
Similarly, they once again entered the study, and the two of them sat side by side opposite old Lin.
"It's the sa tea from this morning. Here, have so first," Director Lin said while enthusiastically pouring tea from the pot into their cups.
Ling'er simply observed the house carefully before taking a deep breath.
"Pure carmine mixed with musk, and then, a few other herbs have been added that could intoxicate the brain and nerves."
All of a sudden, Ling'er ca out with this statent.
Old Lin was stunned.
He looked up at Ling'er.
"Then, if those ingredients are removed, what would it beco?" he asked.
"It would nourish the ridians. Moreover, in this way, it would very likely have a supplentary effect on the human veins," she replied.
"Good, interesting. Now let ask you another question: if I were to take out the herbs used exclusively for sedation, what effect would that have?"
"Then, it would probably be impossible to stay in this room because the emitted substance would be entirely a type of stench, even mixed with so carbon dioxide."
"What's your na?"
"Director Lin, my na is Ling'er."
"Ling'er?"
Upon saying this, old Lin involuntarily furrowed his brow slightly.
"Is your surna Wang?"
"Correct, my surna is Wang."
At this point, Director Lin seed to suddenly beco excited.
"Do you know who I am?"
"I just feel a sense of deja vu, and it seems to sowhat match with soone my teacher ntioned," she said.
"My na is Lin Genghua, but in the past, I was known in the martial world as Lin Zhongzi."
