Chapter 42: Familiar at First Sight
Although Gu'er does not have the appearance of a city and a country, she is also a small jasper, unusually beautiful, with smart eyes, long eyelashes, and a small mouth that is pouting.
Lin Yi saw Gu Er's pitiful appearance on the side, his sympathy increased greatly, and he couldn't help but say, "Ye Tian, why do you want to embarrass a little girl." ”
Seeing this, Ye Tian didn't say anything more, nodded in agreement, and made up his mind to return Gu'er to Xia Nan as soon as possible.
He has been cultivating with strange people in the deep mountains and wilderness for so many years, and he has long developed the character of an idle cloud and wild crane, and he is really not used to it when suddenly there is one more person to serve him.
Because last night Da Luo Toutuo knocked out a big hole in Xia Nan's previous room, Xia Nan changed to a new room, Gu Er took Ye Tian into the room, closed the door nervously, and mysteriously took out a flat box made of jade from under the sheets.
Ye Tian recognized it, this is the bookcase that Xia Nan used to hold the "Book of Humanity", and before he could speak, Gu'er handed the bookcase to Ye Tian and said: "This is what my son-in-law asked me to give you, he said that he and his son-in-law hit it off at first sight, and there was nothing to give, so he gave this to you." ”
Ye Tian looked at Gu Er's firm expression and smiled dumbly: "Brother Xia is really a generous person, but with such a heavy gift, how can I afford it." ”
Gu Er suddenly showed a pitiful look, and said aggrievedly: "Childe said, if I can't give you the gift, I don't have to go back in the future, can you bear to let me go to the rivers and lakes?"
"Okay, I don't want to take you into the rivers and lakes, penniless below, where I can afford to raise a delicate maid like you. ”
Ye Tian was a little funny, but after thinking about it, it was really inappropriate to put a treasure like the "Book of Humanity" on Gu Er, if the witch Chun Yu Youyou appeared to snatch it again, it would be a crime for Gu Er, it was better to keep it by herself, and when she arrived at Taixuan Mountain and saw Xia Nan, she would return the "Book of Humanity" to her.
The more precious the "Book of Humanity", the more Ye Tian doesn't want to accept this gift in vain, he treats people and things, he always adheres to his original intention, lives up to it, and has his own principles.
Seeing that Ye Tian finally took the bookcase, Gu Er smiled happily, and her bright face seemed to make the room light up.
She was wearing a green skirt, wearing a soft cigarette, with a golden hairpin in her bun, a gold ring hanging on the left side of her waist, and a small sachet on the right, and the whole person looked extremely cute.
Ye Tian didn't have any other thoughts, just enjoying the scenery at this moment.
Although Gu'er insisted on serving Ye Tian, she was still rejected by Ye Tian.
Merchant ships drift down the river, passing through cities and resting for a few days, and the merchants on board sell goods and buy new goods along the way.
Ye Tian was also happy to be idle, and he traveled with Gu Er and Lin Yi all the way, these earthly experiences did not let Ye Tian sink into it, but gradually washed away the lead flower, and his mood became more and more plain as water.
It took more than twenty days for the merchant ship to enter the capital of the Dragon Court, and finally stopped at Taixuan City.
Taixuan City is located at the foot of Taixuan Mountain, with a population of more than 300,000 and is very prosperous, and this city is actually completely established by Confucianism.
Confucianism is the first sect in the world, the pursuit of education without class, as long as you can pass the assessment, anyone can join Confucianism to study, is to all scholars take Confucianism as the supreme holy land, condensed a huge faith, which is unimaginable in other sects.
And the power of Confucianism is also extremely strong, the four major academies, each academy has a profound heritage, almost comparable to the large sects, this is also the confidence of Confucianism to suppress the world's luck, deterring the demon race, barbarians, demons and many other foreign races in the wilderness outside the wilderness do not dare to move.
Confucianism outer courtyard disciples, after five years of study, they will have to take the graduation examination, and after passing the pass, they can go down the mountain to enter the office, so a large number of people graduate every year, so that they can only open the mountain gate once a year to accept disciples, in fact, the main thing is to recruit outer disciples, if you want to enter the inner door, you can only have a chance to improve if you perform well in the outer door.
However, Confucianism also has a five-year apprenticeship ceremony, this kind of grand occasion is unprecedented, the four major academies have relaxed the restrictions, as long as they can pass the heavy assessment, let alone directly become an inner disciple, even if they ascend to the sky in one step, it is not impossible to become a true disciple and a descendant disciple.
And this year, in fact, it is a ceremony that only comes once in five years, the entire Central and South land, I don't know how many geniuses are aiming at this day, and they have rushed over, Taixuancheng has also become extremely lively, the street is bustling, rubbing shoulders one after another, looking carefully, most of them are young people, everyone is full of vigor and spirit.
Ye Tian, Gu Er, and Lin Yi also walked into Taixuan City, and they were all dissatisfied with what they saw along the way. This city is full of humanistic atmosphere, this is the precipitation of history and culture, I don't know how many Confucians, saints left ink in this city, if you open the eyes of heaven, you can even see that the entire Taixuan City is blooming with white light, that is Haoran righteousness is always filled in the heaven and earth.
Gu Er was obviously also very familiar with Taixuan City, and led Ye Tian and Lin Yi to turn east and west, and found a Tongfu Inn, which was actually a secret property under the command of Zhennan Hou, which was specially used to collect news.
Gu Er had the token given by Xia Nan, and easily got a reserved luxury room, which Hao Sheng showed off in front of Ye Tian and Lin Yi.
The luxurious room is different, full of luxury, elegant atmosphere, into the eye, the white wool carpet is spotless, the rosewood furniture is faintly fragrant, the lighting is a rare aurora stone, blooming with a soft light, the wall is hung with murals, at a glance from the hands of famous artists, pleasing to the eye.
Standing at the door, Lin Yi was dumbfounded, how had he ever seen such a luxurious room? In stark contrast to the mud on his feet and dirty clothes, he unconsciously felt a sense of inferiority.
He was just a medicine picker, he was used to being lazy, he had never been raunchy, he didn't think it before, but now when he saw the white carpet on the ground, he didn't dare to raise his legs to go in.
However, Ye Tian didn't think it was anything, he was devoted to seeking the Dao, and his mind was all on cultivation, as for food, clothing, housing and transportation, whether it was luxurious or simple, it could not affect his glass-like Dao heart.
After walking into the room with Gu Er, Lin Yi finally mustered up the courage and was about to follow in, but Gu Er smiled and stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Brother Lin, you better wash your feet, the room here is very expensive, if it gets dirty, you will have to pay a tael of gold." ”
Gu Er was just stubborn, wanting to play tricks on Lin Yi, not caring about these two golds, not to mention that this inn was the Xia family's property, even if she demolished this room, Xia Nan probably just laughed it off.
However, as soon as Lin Yi heard a tael of gold, he was speechless, ordinary people only consume a few taels of silver a month, he immediately turned his head and ran downstairs to wash his feet, making Gu Er laugh for a long time.
This room is a suite, one inside, one outside, Ye Tian turned around casually, and let Gu Er sleep inside, and he and Lin Yi sleep outside.
Gu Er naturally nodded obediently, after getting along for more than 20 days, she had a very clear understanding of Ye Tian's character, she was casual and peaceful, and she was also very measured in treating her, never really treating her as a maid, let alone using her hands and feet.
When many men see her, they always show disgusting eyes, but Ye Tian's eyes are as clear as water from beginning to end, and they are the same on the outside and on the inside.
It was precisely because of this understanding that Gu Er suddenly realized why Xia Nan and Ye Tian hit it off at first sight, and even gave Ye Tian the "Book of Humanity", this young man who looked about the same size as her did have a temperament that could not be seen in others.
No, Lin Yi came back, his character was real, not only washed his feet, but even took a bath, changed into clean and refreshing clothes, strode into the room, and sat on the chair.
"Ye Tian, there is a bathhouse downstairs, the hot bath is so comfortable, do you want to give it a try?"
Speaking of this, Lin Yi was suddenly stunned, and then said loudly: "No, Gu'er, why did you ask me to wash my feet, but not Ye Tian?"
Gu Er sneered: "How can you compare with Ye Gongzi? You will not be cleaner than Ye Gongzi if you wash it ten times." ”
She didn't talk casually, nor did she look down on Lin Yi, she carefully observed Ye Tian, Ye Tian never washed, at first she thought Ye Tian was a vulgar person, but later found out that Ye Tian was pure and immaculate, spotless, and cleaner than anyone else, so she was convinced and shocked.
In fact, this is the habit that Ye Tian developed when he cultivated with strange people in the mountains, in the barren mountains and wilderness, it is inconvenient to wash, he will change the heavens and the earth, and the true yuan is always drumming around his body, but whenever there is dust falling, he will be shaken away, even if he does not wash for a year, he will not be dirty, and even there will be a faint fragrance on his body.
This is not only for cleanliness, but also for cultivation, the heaven and earth are changing, which means that Ye Tian is cultivating all the time, his cultivation has progressed so fast, and his kung fu has broken through from the first layer of the Phantom Sea Realm to the sixth layer in a few years, in addition to the strength of the opportunity and exercises, it is not unrelated to his own hard work.
In the evening, after Gu Er and Lin Yi were resting and falling asleep, Ye Tiancai got up, took out the "Book of Heavenly Dao" and read it carefully.
Along the way, he would read the "Book of Humanity" in his free time, but he never found more, and he tried to cultivate, but it still had no effect, as if this book was meant to be.
Ye Tian remembered the "Book of Heavenly Dao" in Qian Yilou's hand, which was obviously different and could exert a very strong effect, which was difficult for him to understand.
Turning over the pages one by one, countless words flashed in Ye Tian's eyes, changing, full of mystery.
Suddenly, all the words disappeared, and a few large golden characters appeared.
"The Tao is not the way of heaven, not the way of the earth, so the Tao of man is also the book of humanity!"
Ye Tian was stunned, this short sentence was full of supreme truth, the more he figured it out, the more profound it became, and his mind seemed to be immersed in a mysterious and unpredictable artistic conception.
