Chapter Twenty-Six: Obsessed with Books
The middle-aged man smiled lightly, and said with a raised eyebrow: "The books on this level, all the disciples of the Inner Sect can read them, but they can't take them away." If you want to take it away, you need to register the borrower's identity information and set a return date here, and the books on this layer are all some cultivation rumors and unpopular practice scriptures, which are not worth much. If you want to borrow it, it won't cost you much sect points. ”
Jiang Xinyue nodded, pointed to the bookshelf, and said, "Senior brother, can I go now?"
The man smiled, "Naturally, you can." After laughing, the man continued, "Does Junior Master Jiang have any scriptures you are looking for?"
Jiang Xinyue shook her head, said thank you, and went to find the book to read. He turned his head and saw that the man had not followed, so he found a corner, sat on the futon and read quietly.
"With so many books, I don't know where to start?"
Jiang Xinyue is a person who can't read books, and she is extremely sad.
In the sea of spirits, Uncle Gu said: "You have a thin foundation, and you don't know much about cultivation, and it is even more difficult to learn." ”
Jiang Xinyue hurriedly said: "How can this be good? When I saw these tadpole worms, my eyes were swollen and my head was confused. ”
Uncle Gu smiled lightly and said, "Don't even have this bit of patience?" Glancing at Jiang Xinyue, Uncle Gu said again: "When you cultivate to the Dan stage, or even the Yuan Infant stage, your lifespan is hundreds of years, thousands of years. If you don't learn something, how can you endure a hundred years of loneliness. ”
Uncle Gu continued: "In a person's life, not only your strength and cultivation are very important, but also your soul also needs to be purified. Learning to read and liking to read will make your vision and knowledge grow. ”
Jiang Xinyue said: "Uncle Gu, I understand what you said, you are well-informed, and you can also see more if you read more." ”
Uncle Gu smiled and said: "You can teach, I will teach you a spell, this spell is called One Glance and Ten Lines, you can read these books." ”
Jiang Xinyue was overjoyed, he felt that a mantra appeared in his head, but it was a few crosses, every word was true, every sentence was mysterious, and it was wonderful. Jiang Xinyue listened to Uncle Gu's guidance and cultivated on her own.
With Uncle Gu on the side to guide her in cultivating this method, Jiang Xinyue was not too difficult to learn. Jiang Xinyue had been practicing for an hour, and she had finished reading the book in her hand. He was elated and took a few more books from the shelves. These books are all on paper and need to be read page by page.
Jiang Xinyue read a few books in succession, and she didn't feel tired. Instead, I was attracted by the highlights of the book and invested in it. He couldn't help but be fascinated every time he saw the subtlety, and he couldn't help but feel sad when he saw the sadness of the plot.
A trace of depression appeared on Uncle Gu's face, it turned out that the few books Jiang Xinyue had just read were all some gods and demons, love stories.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Xinyue was addicted to reading, immersed in it, forgot to sleep and eat, and stayed in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion for two days in a row.
Jiang Xinyue stretched her waist, looked at the middle-aged man sitting beside him, and smiled, "Brother Yun, the book you just said is not very good. In the book, Yao was just a guy who liked to covet beauty, and he mistook Yu Susu's life in vain. ”
These days, Jiang Xinyue gradually became acquainted with the middle-aged man in the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, and learned that his name was Yunjing. Yunjing is limited by the roots and bones, which makes it difficult to save his cultivation, so he can only rely on some connections to get a position of caretaker in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion. The days are also leisurely, and I like to watch those works about the wind and snow, the children of the rivers and lakes on weekdays.
The two have the feeling of meeting each other late, chatting together and talking about the plot. Yun Yi always talked about some people's ghost love, and the strange love of gods and demons made Jiang Xinyue want to stop, listen to it with relish, and enjoy it.
Yun Jingcai finished a story, sighed, and said, "Brother Jiang, you still refuse to tell me, how did you manage to read so many books in one day?"
Jiang Xinyue pretended to smile mysteriously, leaned towards Yunjing's ear and said, "This is my unique secret book, I can't tell you." ”
Yunjing likes to watch these fairy tales the most, and is very curious about Jiang Xinyue's ability to remember and read several books at the same time. In his heart, he wished that Jiang Xinyue would make a request to him, so that he could exchange this kind of magical power. But Yun Jing asked tentatively a few times, but Jiang Xinyue kept silent, which made him extremely depressed.
Jiang Xinyue likes to watch those ghosts and strange talks, Yunjing likes it, and explores the strange beasts and monsters in the book with him, coming and going, but he also has a friendship with Jiang Xinyue.
Yun Jing heard Jiang Xinyue refuse to say it again, his heart was itching, and he asked directly: "Brother Jiang, I am a straight person." In this way, you tell me how I can read it so quickly, and I will show you a treasure book in my collection, what do you think?"
Jiang Xinyue put down the book in her hand and asked, "Brother Yun, do you think I really don't say it? It's just that I heard my master say this spell, and it seems that it can only be practiced with the body of a pure yang child." ”
Jiang Xinyue had just finished watching many immortals and knew what a child's body was, so she used it to perfunctory shirk Yunjing.
Yun Jing listened, and said with a flattering smile on his face: "Brother Jiang, it's not that I don't believe you, it's that you can't hide it from me. ”
Laughing, Yunjing stared at Jiang Xinyue and said, "You wait, I'll go get something." ”
When Yunjing left, Uncle Gu opened his mouth in the spiritual sea and said, "I've seen enough, I've played enough, I didn't let you see these spells when I taught you." Uncle Gu paused and said, "You are still young and lack discipline, which is why you have developed a loose temperament." If you still don't repent, let alone me, you won't be able to make a difference if you are given a great opportunity. ”
Uncle Gu has always been mild-mannered, and he rarely speaks to teach Jiang Xinyue a lesson. Now that she is angry, Jiang Xinyue is really like being struck by lightning.
Jiang Xinyue was depressed in her heart, and said secretly: "I don't like to read again, you asked me to read it, and you came to blame me again." He only dared to say: "Uncle Gu, I don't like to look at these things, I just wanted to learn the trick of ten lines at a glance quickly." With this method you taught me, I can read those books again, and it will only take me a while to finish them. ”
Uncle Gu shook his head and said, "I hope you really think like this, otherwise, if you are so impetuous, there will be no less things to suffer in the future." ”
Jiang Xinyue was a little unconvinced in her heart, but she still spoke: "Uncle Gu, don't worry, I have memorized all your teachings." ”
At this time, Yunjing walked over.
Yun Jing held a rosewood box in his hand, and he glanced at Jiang Xinyue, who followed him to an inconspicuous place.
Yunjing opened the rosewood box and took out a thin book from it. The pages are yellowed, the handwriting is illegible, and it is a little old.
Jiang Xinyue looked at it and wrote "Evil Casting Sword Record", five big characters. Jiang Xinyue was about to pick up the Evil Casting Sword Record, but was interrupted by Yunjing.
Yun Jing smiled and said, "This book, but it's a sword-forging book that I bought at a great price. If you want to see it, Brother Jiang might as well exchange your supernatural power with me. ”
Jiang Xinyue frowned, looked at Yunjing, and shook her head.
"I won't change this, you don't say whether this book has this value. The handwriting on it is not clear, and I don't know if there are few missing pages, so I'm afraid I can't read it. ”
Yunjing secretly said that Jiang Xinyue was cunning, if he was usually wouldn't easily take this evil sword to record it and sell it, but he was really curious about Jiang Xinyue's supernatural powers in his heart.
Yun Jing shrank his head and said, "Brother Jiang, if you have any requirements, just mention them." Yun Jing touched the book of sword casting to ward off evil spirits, and said: "This scripture was exchanged for a lot of spirit stones from the underground market, and this scripture records a method of forging swords. I've read a few pages, mysterious, obscure. You can rest assured that you will not suffer a loss if you exchange this scripture for the power of reading books. ”
Jiang Xinyue thought about it, and still felt that Yunjing was tricking him, what kind of evil spirit-casting sword record is not good is what kind of rotten street book. He was about to say no, when Uncle Gu in Jiang Xinyue's spiritual sea suddenly spoke.
"Swap with him, it's a very powerful codex. ”
Jiang Xinyue was surprised that Uncle Gu was actually interested in this book of sword casting to ward off evil spirits.
Jiang Xinyue pretended to be extremely reluctant and embarrassed on her face, looked at Yunjing and said, "It's not impossible to tell you, just let me make friends with you." ”
Yunjing was overjoyed, hugged Jiang Xinyue, almost didn't pick him up, and laughed: "Thank you Brother Jiang for your generosity, I don't need to back up this evil spirit-casting sword record to you." This is the original version, you take it. ”
Jiang Xinyue took the rosewood box and put the evil sword record back inside.
Yun Jing had heard about Jiang Xinyue's cultivation, so he didn't ask anything, and directly brought white paper and pen and ink and put them in front of him.
Jiang Xinyue's cultivation was still low, and he really couldn't use his spiritual power to directly transmit the mantra to Yunjing's mind, so he had to write it on paper.
Yun Jing was overjoyed when he got the secret, and asked Jiang Xinyue a few places where it was difficult to cultivate, so he hurriedly found a place to practice.
Jiang Xinyue was told by Uncle Gu that she would pick out some books about qi refining and sword cultivation introductions and read them.
Uncle Gu taught Jiang Xinyue the mantra and mental method, not only can you read a book at a glance and ten lines, but also can be multi-purpose and read multiple books at the same time. Jiang Xinyue cast a spell and flipped through five books at the same time.
Jiang Xin still felt bored at the beginning of the month, but the more he watched it, the more interesting he felt, his head was sober, and he sank into it. He swam in the sea of books, and he didn't feel tired at all. After reading a few popular science books on cultivating the truth and refining qi, he confirmed some of the problems he encountered in his own cultivation.
The questions in the book corroborate each other, and there are many mysteries. Jiang Xinyue only felt that these books looked better than those gods and demons, and the reasoning in them was interoperable and more interesting. It is reverie, teasing, and mysterious.
Yun Jing found that Jiang Xinyue had been studying hard in the Scripture Pavilion for seven days, he looked at Jiang Xinyue's eyes were red and swollen, his face was haggard, and he couldn't help but remind: "Brother Jiang......"
Yunjing called Jiang Xinyue and found that he didn't seem to be aware. Yunjing patted Jiang Xinyue on the shoulder, and Jiang Xinyue woke up.
Jiang Xinyue's eyes were dull, she looked at Yunjing with a sluggish spirit, and called out "Brother Yun".
Yunjing saw Jiang Xinyue's withered appearance, and couldn't help but say, "Don't look at it anymore, if you keep looking, you will become a zombie." ”
Jiang Xinyue asked, "Zombies?" Shaking her head, Jiang Xinyue smiled: "What Brother Yun is talking about are corpse puppets? I read that the book records that those corpse puppets are all made of stainless steel spirit iron, or the soul of a living person and refined from the body. ”
Yunjing sighed and said, "You're going to rest, you see you're talking nonsense, if you continue like this, you'll really become a living zombie." ”
Jiang Xinyue was pulled by Yunjing and took a step, her body shook, and she only felt that the sky was spinning, and the object in front of her was spinning like a windmill.
Yun Jing looked at Jiang Xinyue's appearance and said, "You have spent too much effort and energy, if you continue like this, I am afraid you will not be able to live." How can anyone read so many books in a short period of time like you. This brain-intensive work is much more arduous than cultivation. It's like you're racking your brains like this, I'm afraid you'll have to recuperate for a while before you recover. ”
Jiang Xinyue's mind was confused, her steps sank and light, and she only felt that Yunjing had said a lot to him, but she didn't know what he said. His head was as heavy as a stone pier hanging around his neck, Jiang Xinyue smiled at Yunjing, and he was no longer powerless. He didn't even have the strength to speak, and as soon as he leaned towards Yunjing, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Yunjing sighed, picked him up, took him to a cave mansion, and let him lie on the bed to rest.
A heavy snowfall, fluttering and sprinkling, drenched the mountains white, covering the blue and red.
"Such a beautiful view, idle to watch, wonderful, beautiful!"
Yunjing clapped his hands and looked at the distant mountains.
The snow flew all over the sky, like a galaxy in the sky was shattered and fell on the mortal world. Wrapped in silver, the evening breeze was bleak, Yunjing rubbed his hands and retracted into his sleeves.
There was a wheezing sound in the house, and Yun Jing said lightly: "Wake up?" Walking into the house, Yun Jing glanced at Jiang Xinyue who was lying on the bed, and frowned: "Don't move, rest again." ”
Jiang Xinyue opened her eyes, her head was as heavy as a wrap, and her eyes were as heavy as a mountain. He shook his head, looked at Yunjing and said, "How long have I been asleep?"
Yunjing drank a cup of tea and said with a smile: "You woke up fast enough, it's only been a day." ”
Jiang Xinyue secretly said that it was okay, lifted the quilt, and got off the bed. The weather was bitterly cold, and his body was weak, so he quickly shrank back.
Yunjing sneered, walked to the window, and rolled it up. Outside, the snow was heavy and the wind was blowing. The window is also normal, and a plum blossom from the snow is branded outside the window, which is particularly dazzling.
Jiang Xinyue didn't know when to put on her clothes and get out of bed.
The snow outside the door stopped for a while, the clouds opened and the snow was cloudy, the sky was like water, and the wind was cold.
Yun Yi brought Jiang Xinyue a cup of tea, Jiang Xinyue felt dry and took a sip. The tea is very sweet, the entrance is like a spring breeze, and the mountain stream is pleasant. Jiang Xinyue asked him for another cup, and took another sip, Jiang Xinyue had an endless aftertaste, and couldn't help but praise: "This tea is so delicious." ”
Jiang Xinyue was curious in her heart, and couldn't help but ask Yunjing how to make tea.
Yunjing said: "It's not difficult, it's hard to be attentive." In fact, there is nothing difficult in this world, what I am afraid of is that I am unwilling to give my sincerity and can't bear to pay my sincerity. ”
Yun Yi talked about Lin Xu, and his rhetoric was abundant, which opened Jiang Xinyue's eyes. This tea ceremony is small, but it is extremely important. Tea utensils for simmering fires, spoons for drawing water, and pots and bowls for soup are all exquisite.
Yunjing explained while making tea.
The tea leaves are fragrant and fragrant, and they are still boiling in the cup. A few petals of tea are floating on the surface of the water, like a cold palace ice toad looming, and also like a yellow leaf falling to the earth in the mist.
Yunjing praised: "There is a lot of knowledge in boiling water, which is divided into three stages. Boiling like a fish, with a slight sound, is a boil; bursting at the edge of the pot, gushing like a bead, is two boiling, boiling like a stormy wave, it is three boiling. ”
Jiang Xinyue felt that it was very troublesome, and there were so many exquisiteness in drinking a bowl of tea, which was really torturous.
Yun Jing smiled without saying a word, and made him another cup of tea. He smiled and said, "The so-called good things are grinding, and that's probably it." The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, and that's it. ”
Jiang Xinyue nodded, and couldn't help but admire Yunjing's cultivation in her heart.
The two made an appointment to go out for a walk, Jiang Xinyue's body had just recovered, and it was not suitable to travel far. The two were companions, stepping on the snow to find plums, visiting flowers and asking for the moon, and they were not willing to leave until the moon was full.
Since Jiang Xinyue read many scriptures in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, her eyes and mood have broadened.
Yunjing also noticed his changes, Jiang Xinyue was tall, handsome and starry-eyed, and had a calm, calm and elegant temperament. Yunjing looked at him personable, handsome and extraordinary, really like a Buddha under the moon, an immortal in the forest, and he had a heart of friendship in his heart.
That night, Jiang Xinyue practiced the Nine Turns Qi Refining Technique, and he used his spiritual power to walk for a few weeks. Suddenly, blessed to the soul, he ran the exercises, and naturally stepped into the realm of the first level of great perfection of qi refining.
Jiang Xinyue took off her clothes, and a layer of dirt appeared on her body. The flesh is full of filth. What was forced out of Jiang Xinyue's body was impurities in her body, refining qi to wash the dust on her body, which is why Jiang Xinyue had so much dirt on her body.
It's no wonder, Jiang Xinyue used her spiritual power to clean up the mud on her body, and put on a new piece of clothing. He stood in the room, Xiao Xiao solemn, like a true immortal in the dust.
Uncle Gu appeared in Jiang Xinyue's spiritual sea and said with a smile: "Not bad, not bad." Now you barely have some malleable qualifications. ”
Jiang Xinyue also looked happy and said, "Uncle Gu, is there any way you can make your cultivation grow faster?"
Uncle Gu sighed: "Cultivation is like sailing against the current, fighting with the sky and fighting with people. As you do, progress is too fast, but it's a bad thing, and it needs to be sharpened. ”
Jiang Xinyue was depressed and said, "I'm not afraid of hardship, Uncle Gu, just tell me." ”
Shaking his head, Uncle Gu suddenly stared at Jiang Xinyue with a bright eye, and said, "If you can practice Ben Thunder and Canglong thoroughly, I will tell you a way to improve your bones." ”
Hearing this, Jiang Xinyue was excited. He opened his mouth and said, "Uncle Gu, what you said is true, is there really a way to improve the root bone?"
Uncle Gu was there, and said easily: "The world is full of wonders. Some of them are incredible. In this world, there are not only elixirs that can improve qualifications, but also some elixirs. ”
Jiang Xinyue nodded and said, "Uncle Gu, I will definitely meet your requirements, I want to become stronger." ”
Uncle Gu took a deep look at Jiang Xinyue and asked, "Xinyue, why do you want to become stronger?"
