Chapter 3 On the Importance of Learning a Foreign Language Well
Li Tian was in the library pavilion, and his junior sister Shen Lingyin was collecting the thousand-year-old collection of books in the Xuanmen all day, while the senior brother and the second senior sister were storing other cultivation resources.
With Li Zhiyi's memory, he skillfully used the Xuan Li in his body to pull out the books and jade slips on the bookshelf one by one, and classified them into the space ring, this feeling of calling the Xuan Li used by Li Tian, although it could also be achieved when playing games before, but he really felt the Xuan Li in his body, and it felt very mysterious.
After the Tianxuanmen was broken a hundred years ago, the layout of the entire sect was simple, and there were very few buildings, so it was not difficult to implement the relocation matter, and the largest workload was the library pavilion. Although the collection of books is vast, fortunately, most of them are memory jade slips and do not take up much space.
While storing the books and jade slips, Li Tian was thinking about other things. As an otaku in the 21st century, the feeling of leaving the information age is really unacceptable, Li Tian has subconsciously touched his pants many times, trying to take out his non-existent mobile phone. But how to return to the thing he was familiar with, Li Tian had no clue.
Regarding this crossing and this world, Li Tian has too many doubts in his heart. Why did he suddenly come to the world of boundary legends, after receiving 12 years of scientific education and Marxism, Li Tian, who was convinced of materialism, had the illusion that there were really gods in the world for the first time.
What does this world have to do with the boundary legend that he is still obsessed with, at present, it seems that the background and setting of this world and the boundary legend are completely the same, and even Li Tian has a feeling of opening a new account and playing games in the boundary legend with a more real experience.
For the time being, Li Tian has no way to answer the above questions, but his optimistic temperament from childhood to adulthood supports Li Tian's patience.
…………
The arm waved mechanically, there were too many books in Tianxuanmen, Li Tian's arms were a little sore, and he suddenly felt that his sleeve was being pulled, and when he turned his head, he was greeted by a little junior sister holding a memory jade with red eyes and sobbing, Chu Chu was pitiful.
"Senior brother, look." The little junior sister handed over the jade slip in her hand.
Temporarily put down the things in his hand, according to the way Li Zhiyi watched the jade slip in his memory, and injected the mysterious power in his body into the memory jade slip, and suddenly a thin booklet appeared in his mind, and a thin booklet appeared with Wang Wuyan's essay written on the cover.
Wang Wuyan is the name of the former head of Tianxuanmen.
"Wang Wuyan's essay: On May 5, 1046, I began to write some essays for the first time, and after 30 years of practice, it was the first time I accepted disciples. It is an orphaned brother and sister in a village near Tianxuan Mountain, the elder brother is five years old, the younger sister is less than a year old, it is said that the parents were killed by the bandits, I avenged them and accepted them as apprentices. The brother and sister are very good and sensible, so I guess the master must be very happy. ”
Is this a diary? Brother and sister should be talking about the senior brother and the little junior sister, Li Tian thought to himself.
"On August 15, 46, in Xijiang City, Liangzhou, Xiao Lingyin was still the age of breastfeeding, although he had the talent to practice, but his body and bones were very poor, and he was afraid that it was the root of the disease that fell when he was born. Alas, I didn't expect it to be so troublesome to accept an apprentice, Xijiang City has Tianzhi Immortal Grass for children to consolidate the foundation of Peiyuan, although it will cost me 3,000 spirit stones, but for the sake of Xiao Lingyin, these are worth it, but I don't know if the master is reliable to take a baby in the sect......"
"On August 18th, I never expected that such a big change suddenly happened in Xijiang City, alas, I was too soft-hearted, and I didn't know if it was right to rescue this child, so I took in another apprentice, fortunately, this child didn't see what happened, otherwise I'm afraid it is, alas......"
This should be Senior Sister Song, it seems that Senior Sister Song is from Xijiang City, Li Tian thought to himself, then we are going to Senior Sister's hometown.
"On January 6, 49, there was a heavy snowfall, and a child who was only five or six years old fell at the foot of Tianxuan Mountain, and if he had found it a little later, he might have frozen to death. The first thing I did when I woke up was to kowtow, saying that he wanted to worship me as a teacher, looking at his persistent appearance, it reminded me of when I was apprenticing at the beginning, and I accepted him as a third disciple. ”
Li Tian is naturally very clear about Li Zhiyi's life experience, after all, he inherited all the memories of Li Zhiyi, Li Zhiyi is a son of the Jiangcheng cultivation family, but he was abandoned because of the natural conflict with the family's exercises. This is also the reason why Li Zhiyi has always been gloomy and inferior.
Li Tian was full of emotion when he recalled this memory, what a bitter and hateful character, it should have been the background of the male protagonist of a standard fantasy novel, but who knew that the game planner without conscience only let Li Zhiyi be the most ordinary game NPC.
Continue to browse the diary, most of the pen and ink are talking about the growth experience of his four disciples, and there are especially many stories of the little junior sister, no wonder she cries so sadly.
Li Tian was also deeply touched, and it could be seen that the master was very attentive to his four disciples, and basically raised him as a son and daughter.
With a snap, Li Tian withdrew from the memory jade slip, only to find that his tears had dropped onto his chest.
The little junior sister, who had already broken down emotionally, threw herself into Li Tian's arms and cried loudly, shouting why she wanted to kill my master.
patted the back of the little junior sister, and Li Tian's tears could no longer be stopped.
Why did he cry, Li Tian couldn't understand.
Presumably Li Zhiyi himself...... It must be sad that the master who has always regarded him as a father suddenly died.
Think of it as crying for him.
…………
…………
Li Tian and the little junior sister came to the main hall of the sect together, saying that it was the main hall, but in fact it was just a spacious building. Ever since she cried bitterly in the library pavilion, the little junior sister has been grabbing Li Tian's sleeve with her little hands.
Senior brother Shen Wuyu and second senior sister Song Zhiyi were already waiting in the main hall, looking at the junior brother and junior sister, their eyes were red, and their hearts were a little heavier.
After the four of them came to the main hall, there was a spiritual seat for the head of Tianxuanmen for thousands of years, and at the bottom was the name and name of the head of Taishang and the head of the sect carved by Senior Brother Shen not long ago.
"After leaving, I will activate the ancestral formation and send the main hall into the sealing space of the sect." Shen Wuyu stood at the front and said, "Even if someone finds it, if you don't understand the skills of my Tianxuanmen, even if the realm is high, it will be difficult to open, and the junior brothers and sisters can rest assured." ”
Sealing space, to put it bluntly, is to seal and hide this space, of course, it is impossible to hide the living.
"Say goodbye to Shizun and Shizu." Shen Wuyu touched his sister's head, then turned around and knelt down, and the other three were naturally no exception, kowtowing to the spiritual positions of the heads of the Tianxuanmen for thousands of years.
"Master, rest assured, I am safe, the sect did everything for me in the past, and today I and all my brothers and sisters should dedicate our lives to the revival of Tianxuanmen to repay the grace of nurturing." With a long sigh of relief, Shen Wuyu slowly got up and stared at the spiritual position for a long time.
With his back to the three junior brothers and sisters, Shen Wuyu was a little embarrassed. Until this time, it was hard for him to believe that the existence he regarded as a father was so immortal, but as a senior brother, he naturally couldn't show his worries, anxiety, and panic, he still had three junior brothers and sisters to take care of, and he had to be the first to be strong.
"Let's go, let's go." After collecting his emotions and turning around, Shen Wuyu put on a gentle smile and took his junior brothers and sisters to the teleportation circle in the back mountain.

"Is this Xijiang City?" Li Tian walked at the front of the four, looking around at the surrounding environment. When playing the game, he had also been to Xijiang City, because the Baisha Sea and Liangshan not far from the city were the two major copies in the game, and he and the great god had gone to brush it many times before. But a game is a game after all, and every time he comes to Xijiang City, he goes straight to the dungeon, and rarely has the opportunity to wander around the city like this.
"Brother, where are we staying tonight?" Li Tian and the four of them had never been out of Tianxuan Mountain before, even if they went out to practice, they were just at the foot of Tianxuan Mountain, obviously coming to a new city, which made the little junior sister feel a little better.
"We still have some savings, adding up to about four or five hundred spirit stones, but I don't know how long we can stay in the inn......" Shen Wuyu's voice was also a little empty, and having never been out of Tianxuan Mountain naturally meant that the four of them had no money, because they couldn't use it at all; At the same time, I don't know anything about the market, how much does the guest house cost, and the four of them don't have an ACD number in their hearts.
"Hey, that's ...... Westerners? "The little junior sister suddenly saw two blond and blue-eyed crooked nuts, a man and a woman, and her curiosity surged for a while, Shen Lingyin once heard Shizun tell a bedtime story when he was a child, and he talked about the Xiqi Continent, it is said that they all have golden hair, blue or green eyes, and use unusual magic and fighting spirit.
Li Tian also turned his gaze to the direction pointed by the little junior sister, it was indeed similar to the NPC in the Xiqi Continent in his memory, the foreigner in reality, and the two of them seemed to be talking to a boss in the open-air market.
…………
"You, this thing, how much?" The male among the two Westerners, holding a spirit fruit, tried to ask the boss for a price in broken Chinese, Li Tian took a closer look, it should be a fire berry, it is an ordinary spirit fruit that is common.
The boss also roughly understood what the other party meant, and there was a hint of cunning in his eyes, obviously wanting to bully the other party is crooked nuts, "5000 spirit stones, one." ”
The Westerner shook his head, obviously not a fool, "You guys, it's too deceitful. But the spirit fruit in his hand did not put it down.
The actions of the Westerners made the boss feel at ease, and he was reluctant to let go of the most ordinary fire berry, obviously it was the first time to come to the Dongxuan Continent, and the essence in his eyes was even more prosperous, and the profiteer atmosphere emitted made Li Tian a little uncomfortable even from afar.
"Brother, that boss is deceiving people, although I don't know how much fire berries are worth, but it's impossible to ask for 5,000 spirit stones, the Tianzhi fairy grass that Shizun gave me when I was a child is only 3,000 spirit stones." The little junior sister obviously remembered the contents of the diary, and was a little angry, and wanted to step forward to expose it, but was pulled by Li Tian and shook her head.
"They are the head snakes of the land, and we are new to the city, so it is inconvenient to offend people at will." Li Tian said, thinking that the price in the game didn't know if it was the same as this world, and he remembered that the fire berries in the game were about a hundred spirit stones.
Sadly realized that none of the four people present understood the current prices, and the only basis was actually the record in the master's diary back then, and the ghost knows if there has been a rise in prices and inflation in the past ten years.
"Yes...... When I was a child, my master taught us that those who cultivate the truth should not bully the weak, but should punish the evil and promote the good! How can you watch others being deceived. The little junior sister was obviously a little dissatisfied with Li Tian's actions to stop her, and even Senior Sister Song, who had not spoken, nodded, as if she did not agree with Li Tian's words.
Li Tian has one head and two big, this junior sister and one senior sister are so old-fashioned and hot-hearted, I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, so I hurriedly persuaded the next big and small beauty who couldn't bear it, "Senior sister, don't worry, I'll do this kind of trivial thing." ”
After speaking, he left the three of them a little inexplicable, walked up alone, patted the Westerner on the shoulder, and the Westerner turned his head in surprise.
After sorting out his thoughts, Li Tian opened his mouth and said, "You want to buy this fruit, right?" )”
Although Li Tian's English level plummeted after the college entrance examination, and after thinking for a long time, he didn't know what to say about fire berries or spirit fruits, so he had to use the word fruit instead, but there was still not much difficulty in communication.
(To avoid dyslexia, the content of the Westerners who appear later is still expressed in Chinese, everyone knows that it is good to speak English, definitely not that I am too lazy to translate ^^)
The Westerner in front of him was a little excited, obviously meeting someone who could speak English was very helpful to him, "Yes, but this boss is asking too high a price." ”
"Say it slowly, say it slowly." Li Tian sounded a little struggling, "This boss is a liar, I will tell the boss that I am your portable translator, so that he will not dare to ask for too much (English)." Li Tian stumbled to communicate with Westerners in broken English, obviously the boss couldn't understand the conversation between the two, and his face became a little gloomy.
The Westerner weighed it in his heart for a moment, and looked at Li Tian in front of him, for fear that this Li Tian was engaged in partnership fraud with the boss. But looking at Li Tian's very sincere eyes, he hesitated and chose to follow Li Tian's suggestion.
Seeing that he agreed, Li Tian turned to the boss and said, "I am the translator hired by this Western knight, and I am a local, I hope you will not deceive my master hired." ”
The boss's face was suddenly gloomy, and water could drip out, "200 pieces." ”
"Deal." Li Tian turned his head and quoted the price to the Westerner next to him, and the two Westerners looked a little angry, but they still took out 200 spirit stones and handed them to the boss, and took the spirit fruit in their pockets.
Leaving the shop, the two Westerners warmly invited Li Tian and the four to their residence as guests, but Li Tian, who wanted to refuse, was blocked by the curious little sister, so he had to accept the invitation of the two.
Along the way, the little junior sister pestered Li Tian, wanting to ask why Li Tian suddenly knew English, obviously the second senior sister and the senior brother were also very curious, Li Tian had to excuse himself to say that he was a disciple of the Library Pavilion, and he had read a book for learning Western when he was sorting out books before, so he would get some, and he barely convinced the three of them.
Sure enough, learning a foreign language is still somewhat useful, Li Tian sighed a little.
Thank you for the test-taking education!

When the three of them walked away, the previous shop owner had a gloomy face, and called a guy not far away, "Follow them and see what this group of people is about, they dare to ruin my business." ”
