Chapter 155: Monsters
"Yuetian Pavilion is cursed, haven't you ever heard of it?"
"I'm sorry, but I've just joined the Sect Academy, and I don't know a lot about the things in the Academy. As for Yuetian Pavilion, I only know that this is a place to store books, curses or something, and I have never heard of it. ”
The northwest corner of the first floor of Yuetian Pavilion is a resting place with four windows and a screen-style block.
Behind the screen, there are tea sets and incense burners, bamboo couches and soft cushions, although the place is not large, but it is also an elegant place.
The four screens are each painted with plum orchids and bamboo chrysanthemums, and the brushwork is light and clear, and there are quite a few places to enjoy.
But Xu Zhefeng doesn't understand these things.
He only felt that the tea in his hand tasted very good, very delicious, better than the tea he had drunk since he was a child.
"This screen is also a master's handwriting, when the Gao Miao Mountain people settled down from the Zongyuan, they felt the treasure of feng shui here, and only then did they draw such four paintings." Yanagawa held a tea cup in his hand and played with the screen beside him.
"Oh." Xu Zhefeng looked at it carefully, but he didn't see any subtlety in the painting on this screen, so he only took out a bun from his package, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it, and then took a sip of tea.
Yanagawa was surprised when he saw this, and his face was surprised.
Xu Zhefeng turned a blind eye and threw himself on the bun.
"How do you eat......" Liu Chuan couldn't cry or laugh for a while, "It's also bold." ”
Xu Zhefeng ate a bun in three bites, poured down two cups of tea, and then exhaled comfortably. wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said lightly: "I don't understand things like elegance." I'm afraid I'm going to have to play the harp to the cow. ”
Liu Chuan smiled dumbly, and at this time, he couldn't help but catch a glimpse of the strangulation marks on Xu Zhefeng's neck that had not completely disappeared, and sighed with some self-reproach.
"It's only in the past few years that I've gradually learned these things." Yanagawa smiled slightly and looked at the window to the west, "If it's early spring, there are a few cold plum trees blooming here." It's also quite interesting. ”
When Xu Zhefeng heard this, he glanced at Liu Chuan.
"I know what you think," Yanagawa smiled. "Do you think that since I am here in the Heavenly Pavilion, I should work hard to cultivate, and I shouldn't do these useless things like flower appreciation, right?"
Xu Zhefeng did not speak.
Yanagawa continued, "Actually, I've been here for a long time. Read a lot of books. I will no longer be obsessed with the things in the book, and I will not be so curious and yearning for what kind of books and classics are still in the upper pavilion. ”
Xu Zhefeng couldn't understand, so he still didn't speak.
"You and I are lucky." Liu Chuan looked at the young man, "Do you know why there are so few people in this Yuetian Pavilion?" ”
"I've thought about it," Xu Zhefeng said, "I guess they'll all know it." ”
"Anything?" Yanagawa was slightly stunned.
"Others. They probably had already put it in the Yuetian Pavilion. I've read all the books that match my cultivation ability, so I don't need to come in again. ”
Yanagawa was dumbfounded. The expression on his face was a bit crying and laughing: "Do you really think so?" ”
Xu Zhefeng nodded and looked at him puzzled.
Yanagawa pointed to his nose: "What about me?" In that case, why am I still in this Reading Heaven Pavilion? ”
"Of course, it's because you're like me, and you haven't finished the book yet."
"After reading it...... How many books have you read in one day and one night? Do you think it will take you to memorize all the books on the first floor of the Heavenly Pavilion alone? Learn to understand? ”
"One day and one night, I read three volumes." Xu Zhefeng frowned slightly, and looked around at the book collection on the first floor of the entire Yuetian Pavilion, "I estimate, if you read them all, it will take about two or three years." ”
"One day and one night, three books, all read, remember?" Yanagawa's sentence is an interrogative sentence.
"I've read it all, I've memorized it." Xu Zhefeng's sentence is a declarative sentence.
Yanagawa was speechless, and his mind was gloomy.
"I know I'm pretty good." What made Liu Chuan even more speechless was that Xu Zhefeng actually added such a sentence.
Liu Chuan stared at Xu Zhefeng for a long time, and Xu Zhefeng's face changed color for him to see.
After a while, Liu Chuan stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows: "I haven't communicated with young people for too long, and I don't quite adapt to the behavior and words of you young people now. I'll tell you directly, the reason why this Reading Heaven Pavilion is so quiet is not because everyone else has already finished reading the scrolls, nor because they think these books are useless. It's simply because, they can't remember. ”
"I don't understand."
"Very understandable." Yanagawa explains, "What I spent a day here remembering once I got out of this door, it completely evaporated, leaving only traces of water. No! Not even a trace of water remains, and it evaporates cleanly. ”
"Why is that?" Xu Zhefeng frowned.
"I don't know." Yanagawa shook his head.
"Then why didn't I encounter this?" Xu Zhefeng asked.
Yanagawa continued to shake his head.
Xu Zhefeng was silent, thought about it for a while, and said seriously: "I think you are lying to me." ”
"What?" Yanagawa almost wanted to whip him with wicker.
"You mean to say that in this world, apart from you and me, no one else can remember what they are looking at in Yuetian Pavilion?"
"That's right."
"So, you're lying to me." Xu Zhefeng said with great certainty, his sharp gaze pointed directly at people's hearts, "Because I know a person who not only remembers, but also sets up a spiritual wall in his home through the mantra he remembers." ”
"It can't be!" Yanagawa stood up suddenly, his pupils dilating with his eyes, "Who is that?" ”
"I'm also a member of the sect, and I haven't joined for a long time." Xu Zhefeng stared at Liu Chuan, "Her name is Xie Xiaoman, a girl." ”
Liu Chuan's body began to tremble slightly, even more than when he found Xu Zhefeng just now.
It turned out that he was not the only one who could read the Heavenly Pavilion Heavenly Book! Or even more than two! There was even one more!
For a while, Liu Chuan looked up at the sky, grinning as if crying at the corners of his mouth, and he didn't know what mood he was in.
Xu Zhefeng watched his every move, felt his emotional fluctuations, and gradually realized that the other party didn't seem to be lying.
Moreover, there was no need for him to tell this lie.
"So...... Why? Xu Zhefeng was silent for a moment, a little curious.
"I don't know." Liu Chuan shook his head and looked at Xu Zhefeng again, his gaze was deep, but full of pity. It was the gaze of an elder looking at a junior, just like every time he took care of the little willow tree in his yard, looking at the gaze of a junior of the same kind, "I also thought that maybe because I am a willow demon, I can ignore the confinement of Yuetian Pavilion." But now, it doesn't seem to be the case. Liu Chuan said, looked at Xu Zhefeng again, and made sure that he was just an ordinary human being.
"What are you?" Xu Zhefeng thought he had misheard.
"The Willow Demon." Yanagawa laughed and reached out to stroke his beard, "Of course, this is according to you humans. ”
Xu Zhefeng looked at Liu Chuan, blinked his eyes, and said "oh" for a while.
Liu Chuan felt very interesting about Xu Zhefeng's reflection: "Why aren't you afraid? Or, why don't you have the idea of slaying demons? ”
"Why be afraid? Why do you want to get rid of demons? Xu Zhefeng was very puzzled.
"Because that's what most human monks do."
"There is a rabbit demon in our family, and no one wants to get rid of him." Thinking of Xiaobai, for some reason, Xu Zhefeng's face turned slightly red, "By the way, I thought it was ......" He glanced at Liu Chuan and quickly closed his mouth.
"What's in your house?" This time it was Yanagawa who was surprised.
"Rabbit demon," Xu Zhefeng blushed, "It's called Xiaobai." Xie Xiaoman raised the little girl I mentioned before, the one who learned the Spirit Wall in Yuetian Pavilion. ”
Yanagawa's mind was a little confused, and he took a sip of cold tea and forced himself to calm down.
Xu Zhefeng thought about Xiaobai, but once his thoughts touched these two words, he felt scared again, and hurriedly forced himself to drag his thoughts back. But on the other hand, the word Xiaobai seemed to carry some kind of magic, haunting him in his mind, so that he could not forget the existence of the hazy figure of the moon no matter what......
Xu Zhefeng felt that he might have fallen for witchcraft......
"If I have the chance," Yanagawa muttered for a long time, "let me meet that little rabbit." ”
Liu Chuan chuckled, his smile was a little lonely: "I have been in Jiankang City for a long time, and I have seen a lot of ghosts, but there are really few of the same kind." ”
Xu Zhefeng felt that it didn't seem good to agree for Xiaobai like this, but looking at the deep wrinkles in the corners of Liu Chuan's eyes, he couldn't help but move his heart and nodded: "I'll go back and ask him." ”
"Thank you." Yanagawa grinned, looking even more desolate.
"By the way......" Liu Chuan suddenly remembered something, "Just now you want to say, why do you think?" ”
"This ......" Xu Zhefeng looked embarrassed, stretched out his fingers and rubbed his nose, his voice was a little vague intentionally or unintentionally, "I thought that after the monsters turned into human forms, they were all very good-looking." ”
Liu Chuan didn't expect what he wanted to say like this, and after being stunned for a while, he smiled helplessly. He couldn't help but think back to the first time he had met the old man many years ago. At that time, he was enlightened by the old man and turned into a human form for the first time. The old man said something similar when he saw him for the first time.
"It's actually very dangerous for monsters to live in the city, if I can, I'll ask the old man and let him join the sect as well. With the protection of this layer of identity, it is much safer. Liu Chuan said, "You just said, the rabbit demon's name is Xiaobai, right?" ”
"Hmm." Xu Zhefeng blushed, and became slightly nervous when he heard this, "I don't even know about these things, otherwise I would have helped him deal with them a long time ago." Who is the old man? ”
"You joined the Congzong Academy, but you don't know who the old man is?" Liu Chuan was shocked again, and sighed.
Xu Zhefeng scratched his head, not knowing what to say. (To be continued......)
