Chapter 453: Cultivating the Ancient Book of Truth
However, after flipping through some of the books, Lin Yun was depressed to find that not only was there a large collection of books here, but also the words on them were endless, many of which were not recorded in conventional writing, involving some ancient characters that he had never seen.
Removing those books that Lin Yun couldn't understand, there were about one-third of the books in this room, waiting for Lin Yun to read them one by one, facing such a huge project, Lin Yun couldn't help but make it difficult.
Although Lei Jie successfully diverted Old Man Duan's attention, it would take at least ten hours for Lin Yun to finish reading these books, but now there was less than half an hour left before the end of the lunch break.
There is only one chance, Lin Yun can't count on it, next time let Lei Jie repeat his old tricks, and use this clumsy plan to divert the tiger from the mountain to help him hide from the world.
At this time, there were only two paths in front of Lin Yun, either to hastily flip through a few limited ancient books, whether it was useful or not, it would end here today, and wait for the next opportunity to talk about it.
Either you don't care about the class time, and you keep burying your head in the "hard work" here until you get something or someone finds out.
Lin Yun hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to stay here, after all, the value of these ancient books was much higher than going back to class, and it was expected that Old Man Duan would be willing to leave here only if Old Man Duan guarded this large pile of treasures every day!
Lin Yun first sent a WeChat message to Fang Yating, telling her that she had something to do in the afternoon and couldn't go to class, and asked her to help ask the teacher for a leave.
After getting Fang Yating's confirmation, Lin Yun immediately stopped thinking nonsense, and quickly flipped through the books in the room attentively......
Once his mind was filled with books here, Lin Yun couldn't help but forget the time, and when he finished reading the entire two rows of books, and looked at the time again, it was already almost time to get out of school.
At this rate, Lin Yun estimated that if he finished reading the books on these four shelves, I am afraid it would be midnight today.
Besides, these were only the books in the lower rows of the shelves, within reach, and the books on them that were inconvenient for him to get at the moment were not among them.
What's even worse is that among the ancient books that Lin Yun has read, there are few mentions of martial arts cultivation, most of them are health preservation, easy learning, medical skills, etc., although they have also made him gain a lot, but they are not the focus of his trip.
"It would be nice to have a book list." Lin Yun said to himself as he picked up the next book.
At this moment, a series of subtle footsteps came from outside the door, which instantly touched Lin Yun's eardrums, in order to prevent someone from breaking in suddenly, Lin Yun deliberately used his breath to keep an eye on the movement outside the room, but he didn't expect that someone really came.
Through the observation of the breath, Lin Yun found that this person was none other than the old man Duan, the librarian, could it be that after being fooled around by Lei Jie, he gradually came back to his senses?
Lin Yun hurriedly put the books back on the shelves, then held his breath and hid in the back of the central row of bookshelves, just waiting for Old Man Duan to open the door and come in.
Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of metal keys striking outside the door, and Old Man Duan found the key, unlocked the door, and walked into the room.
Lin Yun leaned behind the bookshelf, with his back to Old Man Duan, unable to see his expression, but judging from his calm and normal breath, he should not have noticed anything abnormal, maybe it was just a routine inspection.
Old Man Duan closed the door with his backhand and walked slowly into the room, and when he was about to approach Lin Yun's side, he suddenly stopped and stood still.
Lin Yun was about to sneak around and hide on the other side of the bookshelf, when he suddenly found that Old Man Duan was not moving, so he didn't move, he also stayed where he was, waiting to see what happened.
At this moment, the distance between the two was no more than two meters, but because Lin Yun controlled his aura very well and completely restrained it, Old Man Duan didn't know that there was another person in the room at all.
Old Man Duan was obviously not here to make his rounds, so he heard him jump up, take down an ancient book from the shelf, and then stand there and read it carefully.
Lin Yun hid in the back of the bookshelf and didn't move, but he was crying bitterly in his heart, this old man didn't know how long he was going to look here, he was idle, if he kept seeing tomorrow's dawn, wouldn't he be unable to move for more than ten hours?
What made Lin Yun most anxious was that the light in this room was dim, as long as he turned on his mobile phone, the light of the mobile phone screen would definitely make him discover by Old Man Duan.
But if you don't use your mobile phone to notify Fang Yating, she will disappear for no reason for a night, and the three girls in the small villa don't know how they will be mad.
Just when Lin Yun was in a dilemma, he only heard Old Man Duan suddenly slap his thigh and shout loudly: "There is!" ”
Old man Duan's sudden move almost scared Lin Yun out of a heart attack, just read a book, and shout, this is not a good habit......
Lin Yun secretly complained in his heart, but he was curious about Old Man Duan's actions just now, what kind of wonderful content would make him so excited and out of shape?
Fortunately, Lin Yun's confusion hadn't existed in his mind for long, and Old Man Duan continued to say to himself: "Old man, I thought it was such a difficult thing to cultivate, but it was so simple!" ”
At first glance, when he heard the word "Xiuzhen", Lin Yun's heart trembled, he really had nowhere to find his iron shoes, and it didn't take any effort to get it, he knew that the books about Xiuzhen were placed on the upper shelf, so he would have started reading them from the top row......
Lin Yun thought about it carefully, and felt that this was the old man's deliberate, specially putting those irrelevant books in the lower row to confuse the public, making people mistakenly think that the ancient books here were not a big deal, so as to give up the books that were out of reach.
The really valuable books in this room may be placed in a location that is difficult to reach, which Lin Yun should have guessed a long time ago, but it is a pity that he was too hasty before, underestimated Old Man Duan's IQ, and wasted so much time in vain.
Fortunately, the hard work paid off, Old Man Duan's carelessness helped Lin Yun a lot, judging from his actions just now, he should have been looking for this book for a long time, but Lin Yun didn't expect that he actually knew about Xiuzhen!
Old Man Duan was excitedly flipping through the ancient book, but he didn't know that Lin Yun had quietly come behind him, his attention had already been completely attracted by the content of the ancient book, so he naturally didn't care about everything that happened around him.
Lin Yun looked through Old Man Duan's fingers and saw that it was an incomplete thread-bound book.
Strictly speaking, to call it a book, there is a little reluctance, the only thin pieces of paper left, as if they will fall apart at any time, and when the page is turned, it will be torn even more tremblingly.
Lin Yun stood behind Old Man Duan and looked at it for a while, and began to wonder whether to call him, not because he was worried about scaring him, but because he was afraid that he would be suddenly frightened and tear up the ancient book in his hand......
Lin Yun thought for a while, then suddenly raised his hand and waved it in the air, fanning a slight strong wind, only blowing towards Old Man Duan's neck.
At this moment, even if Old Man Duan concentrates again, he will be alarmed by this strong wind, after all, this room never opens the window, and it is impossible for the wind to blow in.
Old Man Duan suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction where the strong wind was blowing, but at this time, Lin Yun had already changed his position and lightly hit Old Man Duan's two wrists from the other side, forcing him to let go of the ancient book in his hand.
The moment Lin Yun dexterously snatched away the ancient book, Old Man Duan's expression was extremely surprised, he never thought that there was another person in the room, and this person's cultivation was still above his own.
When Old Man Duan looked back and saw Lin Yun again, his tense expression eased slightly, no matter how Lin Yun slipped in, at least his appearance was much safer than a strange and powerful enemy.
"Brother Lin, when did you come?" Old Man Duan asked with a slight reproach.
Obviously, Lin Yun had come to this room long before Old Man Duan, and Old Man Duan had been in for so long, but he had never discovered Lin Yun's existence, which was a great shame for a self-esteemed martial arts family ancestor.
"Not long before you." Of course, Lin Yun would not betray Lei Jie, but whether he said it or not, Old Man Duan should have guessed this relationship.
"This place is not allowed for students to enter, you better get out of here quickly." Old Man Duan said, and he was going to get the ancient book in Lin Yun's hand.
Lin Yun hid the ancient book behind his back sideways, avoiding Old Man Duan's palm, and then unfolded his body again, quickly retreating a few steps away, away from Old Man Duan's arm.
"Brother Duan, I'll leave, but I have to figure out the content first." Lin Yun waved the ancient book in his hand lightly, not daring to push too hard, for fear of falling it apart.
"You...... How do you know ......" Old man Duan was speechless for a while, he knew that Lin Yun had heard his voice just now, but how did Lin Yun know about Xiuzhen?
In fact, it was also through the many ancient books in this room that Old Man Duan knew that there was still a cultivation in the world.
Ever since he learned about this particularly advanced cultivation method, Old Man Duan changed the location of the books on the shelves, and moved those books related to cultivation to the upper corner of the upper row that was difficult to reach, just because he was worried that someone would enter here by mistake and discover the secret of cultivation.
But from Lin Yun's tone, Old Man Duan felt that he seemed to have known about Xiuzhen for a long time, and the reason why he came to this room was just to find some verification.
What made Old Man Duan even more uneasy was that the ancient book he had just flipped through happened to record the method of jumping from a martial artist to a cultivator, but unfortunately he hadn't finished reading it before he could take it away by Lin Yun......
Old Man Duan wasn't worried that Lin Yun would widen the gap between his cultivation and his own cultivation after learning to cultivate the truth, but once this method spread, the consequences might be unimaginable!
